While my words left my mouth, I had been increasing my aura around my body to radiate pressure everyone in the area could feel.
In this power surge, my longer crimson hair started to rise and sway in the glow on my body.
And as my last word left my lips, I let out a basketball-sized black with crimson Power of Destruction, like a black flame in my hand. Raynare seeing Freed's work, and Asia her prize in the Devil's clutches frowned, then put on a smile.
"You have misunderstood Lord Gremory. This Freed is not one of ours, but we only came to retrieve that nun you have there, she is one of us.
You can just kill him for all we care, what do you say?"
If I did not know her plot, I might have been tricked by her words, but giving her Asia will not happen, though I need to handle this situation with care due to politics. I cannot jeopardize peace between The Three Factions as well, so I smile at her and point my power at Freed, who is now panicking still trying to chop the Absorption Line, he said in a yell.
"Raynare you bitch, how dare you sell me out to Devil scum! I-I am telling our boss you, Bitch~!"
Freed, unable to escape the Line, and seeing my Power coming towards him, he pulled a bead from his coat decisively. .
.
"I will advance backwards, and let's see how you 4 deal with our boooooss~, hehehehehe~!"
Bang Flash Slitch! My blast flew into the blinding bright light, and Saji fell on his ass, with his Line pulling back to himself. A freshly cut left hand, holding a handgun, dropped in front of him.
Freed chose to lose his hand to avoid my blast.
Boom! The fireplace behind him was blown to bits from my blast missing its mark, and Freed was gone. He most-likely fled through the hole made by the couch Mil-tan threw in the beginning.
I was not thinking he would be smart enough or vicious enough to remove his own hand. .
. The power of a cockroach to survive is better than I thought.
Then, I looked back at the Fallen, and I said while pointing to Asia.
"This nun was working with that man, and she is his accomplice. So if you plan on taking my prisoner, then you are admitting to working with Freed.
So while I am in a good mood, ask yourself, is the life of this prisoner worth fighting with me, Raynare?"
Asia shivered hearing my words, thinking of the horrors awaiting her in a prison of Hell. But when she saw Saji stand in front of her protectively, and Kuisha patting her back in comfort, Asia was both confused and warm.
Raynare, Freed, and the others have done horrible things in the name of God these last two days of being here.
Raynare, not wanting to lose her Twilight Healing Sacred Gear, tried to negotiate.
"Asia is a member of Grigori, and if you give her back to me, we will leave Kuoh Town tomorrow, and you will not have to deal with us? That is fair, right? And Asia was captured and forced to work with that man, so you have no rights to keep her prisoner. "
I ignite another Power of Destruction in my hand, and compress it into my power. .
. Ruin the Extinct.
Then I say with a happy tone.
"Asia Argento is my prisoner, so what? When I am done interrogating her, if she proves to be innocent, then I will let her go. But for now, with Freed gone, I need to know more.
. .
As for you staying or going from Kuoh, that is your choice. So leave here without Asia Argento, or just don't leave, it is your choice, Fallen Angel and crew.
"
Raynare, Mittelt, Kalawarna, and Dohnaseek all had looks of anger, but feeling my aura of a being that out classes them and the iconic power in my hand, that the Devil King Lucifer is proud of, their hearts are just full of grievance.
Tsubaki stood to my side with her Naginata ready for a fight, and then Mil-tan stood behind me looking at. .
Mittelt's Gothic Dress with stars in his eyes, sigh. He just ruined my tough act, right?
Mittelt, seeing Mil-tan gazing at her like a pervert, covered herself and pointed.
"Raynare he wants to eat me, gross!"
My lip twitched and I, instead of holding the orb at Raynare, turned it towards the Loli. She freaked and hid behind Dohnaseek.
He had a look of terror realizing she would use him as a body shield, and finally Raynare said.
"Fine, we are leaving, but don't you dare kill her, she belongs to us. We will wait for her safe return, let's go everyone, we are done here.
. .
"
As the ten foes retreated, I dismissed my attack power, and then Saji said in a panic.
"Ah! Ray, please, you cannot send Asia to them, they. .
. .
"
I put my hand up to cut him off, I smiled at my peerage and gave orders.
"Saji, watch over Asia. .
. Kuisha please set up a return Circle for us all to the club-room.
. .
Tsubaki and Akeno, please fix this mess. We will not talk here, and discuss our options at our base.
"
Saji doesn't understand the fallen or anyone can review the fight here, so talking about sensitive topics about Asia here is no good. .
. Plus I do not know if Diodora Astaroth is hiding in the shadows trying to capture Asia for his Peerage.
So I actively keep an eye out for now. .
.
-
An hour later in the ORC room, Asia is sitting on the couch in the middle, between Saji and Mil-tan. The other members including Ni and Li are sitting in their spots, as we are talking.
Asia is holding the pictures I took of the Underground Church basement, and she had seen this site as well. She has been listening to me discuss her options.
And if you are guessing I want to recruit her, then you would be a fool to not want to.
