I admit it would have worked in a normal situation as I did look provocative and endearing enough at the sight that could get me to pause more than once, but much to her chagrin,

I was kind of pissed and extremely concerned about the safety of Asia to be interested in being a hesitant moron.

I just couldn't afford to deal with the fact that little detail, knowing full well that utmost attention was a must to brave this difficult fight.

As the battle progressed with a certain high pace, a simple but continuous exchange of Light Spears from one side to another,

I noticed a feeble green light coming from the bleeding nun as I gave her brief glances.

Despite the mortal wounds, the girl had somehow remained conscious during this heated brawl.

With the distraction I was offering by clashing against Raynare, Asia had started to get Twilight Healing to start mending her injuries, which was quite good as it offered a little more time to deal with the Fallen Angel.

Yet as this all unfolded, I decided to cover my bases for an eventual retreat, planting some Silver Lining seals on the ground in front of me.

Knowing whom I was dealing with, especially by her impulsiveness she was displaying during this brawl, it was now a matter of moments before she decided to-

The dark-haired beauty snarled in visible fury at the lack of success with her long-ranged attacks,

And she finally decided to interrupt the stalemate of lights by trying to go for a direct assault.

While Fallen Angels weren't known for their physical strength, their bodies were far more resilient and stronger than what a mere human,

And standing my ground against her approach wouldn't be much convenient for my normal body.

I saw her wings flap sharply as Raynare dived down for a quick assault, a yell leaving her lips as she rushed swiftly upon me and I felt urged to take some step backs away from her.

The woman looked giddy at my reaction, probably expecting me to not have anything to hold her back in a confrontation of that kind…

But I was merely holding back my grin from spoiling the surprise I had set up for her to discover.

She prepared two Spears in her hands, ready to engage in close combat and butcher the hell out of me, still unaware that this was all part of a very simple but effective plan.

The moment she had her first weapon raised above her head and ready to plunge down onto my chest, the multiple seals I had laid down on the ground sprung into action and three strong ropes of light sparked in action.

The Silver Lining rushed silently but quickly enough as they went to restrain the woman for a short amount of time, enough to get me some time to get more plans to work more on this situation

Raynare was stronger than Dohnaseek and Silver Lining wasn't meant to be a permanent solution to capture people of her caliber.

I had to make things… even.

Two dull-gray Light Spears formed mid-air right behind the distracted woman, rushing quickly towards her wings in an effort to keep her grounded.

My hopes snapped the very moment she broke away from her feeble limitations, and Raynare turned around quickly, shattering one of the incoming blades, but failing to move quickly enough to avoid the remaining one.

Much to my immense dismay, the spear failed to reach one of her wings, but it cut a deep wound on her exposed thighs.

She yelped sharply at the sudden injury, briefly shivering while she recovered from the sudden pain.

Her eyes were now displaying mindless anger, dread, and a complete state of fear.

She had come so close to lose one of her wings, something that was considered very important in Fallen Angel's society. Wings were the last gift of God when they were sent out of Heaven, something to flaunt around against their enemies.

And losing a wing wasn't something that just could be healed up for normal Fallen Angels, and Raynare knew that well enough to be frightened by the concept.

Not even Twilight Healing would have been capable of fixing that kind of damage and… she tensed up as I took a step towards her.

"Y-You!" The dark-haired woman backed away a few more meters away from me, keeping her complete sight on me as I continued to keep on guard for any other attacks. "Why are you even helping this nun? Why would you-"

"Asia-san is a friend of mine, Raynare-san," I shot back fiercely at her surprised look. "This is the second individual I'm close to that you've caused pain to and I will not forgive you for those situations!"

She flinched the moment I took a step towards her. "S-Stop! I- We don't need to fight- I can offer you what you wish for- power, m-money a-and even a g-girlfriend-"

"Don't tell me. Yuuma-san?"

There was an uneasy silence, the woman's face paling even more at the mentioning of that name. "Y-You are f-friend with that-"

"Ise is my kohai, you bitch, and you tried to kill him," I snapped furiously, feeling a little incensed and enabled by the adrenaline still rushing in my veins. "Same for Asia-chan. I am going to end you for what you've done!"

She flinched fearfully as I took another step towards her, almost breaking from the sudden tension keeping her body frozen,

Her wings managing to snap her away from the ground and float away from the floor the floor.

I stared at her, my cold eyes wide open as I continued to look whle Raynare spun around and quickly fled the area without saying anything else.

I waited a few more moments after she had gone away from my eyesight before turning my attention back to the blonde,

Asia slowly trying to sit up while still trembling from the blood-loss she had suffered.

Her clothes was shredded by the chest area, prompting me to get my jacket off and cover torso with it.
