To forgive or not (Highschool DxD x Male Reader volume 1)

Chapter 7

(3rd Person)

(Y/N) was still on his knees, his fist clenching tightly while shaking in rage, sorrow and disbelief. He just watched his best friend of more than ten years die right before his eyes. He couldn't help but let a single tear flow out of his eye at the realisation that Asia was no longer a part of this world.

Raynare: At last, I not only have your powers, I have Asia's sacred gear as well! Now, no one can...

Raynare was instantly cut off by a fast moving light spear piercing her stomach, she gasped in surprise but before she could recover there were several others all piercing through any spot of her body they could find. The only thing left that wasn't pierced was her head.

She looked up in surprise, only to see the definition of rage itself in (Y/N)'s features, he was back on his feet, a hundred or so more light spears floating behind him while unbeknownst to him his body was discharging several bolts of black and red electricity, Raynare grew wide-eyed with fear and shock.

Raynare: 'Impossible!! His power was supposed to come from the earring!! And yet, somehow he's able to summon so many light weapons effortlessly!? Is he really human!?'

(Y/N): Raynare... you took my earring, you took Asia's sacred gear. But what was even worse is you killed her right as I was watching... that's the worst mistake you could ever have done, because now I'm mad... I'm madder than ever, which means you've gone and done it now. In other words Raynare...

(Y/N) gestured his hand upward so that the light spears were all pointing towards Raynare who struggled to fly due to her wings being pierced. (Y/N)'s expression turned from fury to one that spoke of a promised murder, even though Raynare had twilight healing she couldn't help but start to feel a tiny bit regretful at killing Asia.

(Y/N): In other words: your time is up!! It's time to meet your end you filthy fallen angel!!!

Raynare closed her eyes at seeing (Y/N)'s hand about to point downward and aim for her head: the killing blow. But, a sound had caused (Y/N) to stop: a gasp, normally this wouldn't bother (Y/N) but he thought the gasp was familiar, he shakily turned his head to where the gasp originated from only to grow wide-eyed at seeing Asia's barely moving chest.

(Y/N): Asia... she's... alive? Asia!!!

All the light spears disappeared causing Raynare to grunt in pain at feeling all the holes in her body and wings. She watched as (Y/N) ran over to his barely breathing best friend, without hesitation he snapped the chains off her causing Asia's limp body to fall into (Y/N)'s arms. He cradled her while looking down.

(Y/N): Thank god... you're alive...

Raynare: She, won't be for long...

(Y/N) saw Raynare slowly pushing herself to her feet, her whole body starting to glow the same green glow as Asia's sacred gear, the holes in her body closed before any more blood could leak out, he growled at seeing her back on her feet and again that cocky grin on her face.

Raynare: Extracting a sacred gear is like taking someone's life, she may be alive now, but sooner or later she's going to die (Y/N). I don't know what that was just now but it looks like your little fit was stopped by Asia, I told you before she was your weakness, and now... she's the reason you die right here and now!!

The fallen angel conjured up several pink light spears of her own before throwing them towards (Y/N) who picked Asia up and leapt away from the incoming projectiles, unfortunately he was instantly running out of space to avoid the deadly weapons, that was, until a familiar voice stopped Raynare in her tracks.

Issei: Raynare!! Leave them alone!

And just like that a broken cross came flying at Raynare which smacked her in the back of the head, she growled in annoyance before turning to see the perverted devil himself. Issei however, wasn't focused on Raynare, his eyes were on the two humans in the room, he gave (Y/N) a thumbs-up with a cheeky smile.
