Sona turned to face me, pushing her glasses back up her nose. "That is twice you've mentioned the Fallen having another purpose here. What is it that it is more important than removing the Fallen from Devil territory?"
Seeing no reason to lie to her, I said, "If our intelligence is correct, they've found a way to remove Sacred Gears.
The item that they use to do that is supposed to be in that church. We need to capture it and turn it over to the Satans."
Sona's eyes grew wider as I continued speaking. "They have found a way to remove Sacred Gears?
That is…I see why my sister sent you. But why would they come to Kuoh? There are no Sacred Gear users here."
I felt a pit develop in my stomach as she began to think. Sona Sitri's reputation painted a picture that she was incredibly intelligent.
If she found Issei here, it would really screw up my plans. Being sure to control my demeanor and tone, I said, "There weren't."
When Sona looked up at me curiously, I said, "I encountered a young girl as we were on our way over here. She had Twilight Healing if I'm not mistaken.
I'd imagine the Fallen somehow got a tip she'd be here and are waiting to ambush her. They probably plan to leave once they've found her."
"Then we need to move quickly." Sona said, turning her attention back to the church. "I am altering the teams.
Clarissa and Tomoe will go through the back window with Tsubaki and Yubelluna. Ruruko will accompany the front door team.
Tomoe, your job is to support Clarissa. Defend her while she searches for the device and cover her escape. Retrieving that device is far more important than the Fallen."
The pink haired girl bobbed her head up and down and said, "Yes, taichou."
My eyes caught on a flash of gold, and I realized things were about to get complicated. "Lady Sitri? That's her." I said, pointing towards the path leading up to the church.
The eyes of both peerages drifted towards a young girl lazily strolling towards the church, a bright smile on her face.
"We move now. Hit the Fallen hard and fast and be sure to support each other. Beware of their light spears."
As our peerages moved off to carry out her orders, Sona turned to me and said, "I know this is not a good time, but Twilight Healing is an incredibly valuable and rare Sacred Gear. What would you accept to allow me to reincarnate the girl?"
Smirking internally, I made no move to tell her I'd already decided I didn't want Asia. If Sona wanted to pay me for exclusive rights to a potential peerage member I didn't want, I wasn't going to complain.
"I did not come here expecting to make a deal with you, so I do not have anything in mind. So long as I have your word you will compensate me in a way we both agree is fair,
I will not make any move to reincarnate her." I made sure to stick the 'both' in there so there was no devil contract manipulation.
"I give my word as heiress Sitri that you will be compensated in a way we both agree is fair." Sona said immediately before turning around, her wings exploding from her back.
"Now, we must support the attack." She took to the air just as an explosion hit the back of the church, shaking the ground.
Following Sona into the air, my flaming wings roaring forth from my shoulders, I watched as the front door team flooded into the church while the window team flew through a hole in the back of the church that was far bigger than the window had been.
The sound of screams and battle overcame the church. Explosions, clashing steel, war cries – flying above the church, we couldn't see what was happening inside, but we were certainly able to hear.
Less than a minute after our peerages had breached the exterior, the cloaked form of Clarissa, her wings extended out her back, flew through the hole in the rear of the church moving as fast as she possibly could, a basketball-sized, iron pentagram clenched in her arms.
Right on Clarissa's heels, three more figures appeared. The first was Sona's knight, Tomoe. The pink-haired girl held a steel katana in her hands as she fended off two Fallen attackers in an effort to cover Clarissa's escape.
The first of the Fallen Angels was a man in a trench coat. He had black hair and was hurling spears of light over Tomoe's head in an attempt to hit Clarissa, but my bishop dodged his attacks, steadily putting ground between herself and the church.
The second fallen was a woman who, had she been human, would have been in her mid-thirties. She had hair the color of the deep sea and engaged Tomoe in close combat with her sword.
While she wasn't able to overcome the knight's skill, the numerical advantage was beginning to weigh on the devil.
Without looking to Sona for direction, this was my job and therefore her orders didn't matter in this instance, I rocketed towards the two angels as they closed in on Tomoe.
Holding my hand out in front of me, a spell circle snapped into being and conjured a large, snaking wall of scalding flame between the angels and Tomoe.
The two Fallen instinctively jumped back to avoid it, and both their eyes turned to lock onto me.
Pulling out of my dive, I came to hover just in front of Tomoe. "Follow Clarissa and make sure there aren't any others that are moving to trap her. Protecting her is your top priority. I'll deal with these two."
"But, Lord Riser, I-"
"I'll be fine." I cut off her protests. The Sacred Gear Extractor was too important to risk Clarissa getting jumped without support, and I felt confident I could take these two. "Go."
