[Light Spear]
No, no. It's not me who's using it.
But rather... Raynare.
Which has got me wondering...
Just how many MC's has she killed in these DxD stories?
While I don't consider myself the center of the universe, I also don't have the idea of 'staying out of the plot no matter what' that many usually end up having.
So, when I've got Raynare in font of me frozen in time, I can't help but wonder.
Think about it.
Think about all those reincarnators or transmigrators who pegged by Raynare's Light Spear, and then think about the actual anime characters also get pierced as well.
[4]
Like, I can understand if some rando gets folded like an omelette by her, that I can get.
But it's usually not regular ol' reincarnated folks like me who get the donut treatment.
Let me tell of all those I've read back at my old life, of those who ended up losing against her, whether it be by 'arrogance', or by 'letting their guard down'...
Buu Saga Gohan, Goku, Trunks? One-shotted.
End Of Series Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, and Madara (Shippuden)? Also One-shotted.
Arrancar Downfall Arc Ichigo, and Aizen? Deader than a doornail levels of One-shotted.
Plus guys like Archer from FATE, and Lobotomy Kaisen's Gojo Satoru?
Well... Humor usually works in the rules of three, and I've already did it three times, so you should get the gist of what I'm trying to say now, right?
Let's just say that if you told me that in fanfic world, she got trained by FGO's Scathach, and received that special cause and effect death spear like Cu Chulainn has, I would'a believed you.
[3]
So basically, before I convince her politely to help me out, I wanna see a little of what she's got.
So I stood there, staring at her and the dark one-piece outfit clinging like a battle-hardened dominatrix she wore whilst being suspended form in time, looking at her goofy angry expression with her wings flared and an arm drawn back with a light spear in hand.
[2]
Her violet eyes glared at me with that special Fallen Angel cocktail of superiority and bloodlust. She looked exactly like she did in the anime, hot, but also incredibly punchable.
"Let's see how you'd handle this," I murmured.
[1]
From the tip of my finger, a slow, glowing ball of light floated out seemingly unthreatening in almost every aspect imaginable.
So pretty, so cute, like a firefly in the night...
[0]
---And eventually, time resumed.
Raynare blinked, frowning at the orb as it finally reached her.
"Kekekekekekeke..."
She then broke out into raucous laughter.
"Kyahahahahahahaha! That's your attack? Seriously?"
She gave one of those evil anime girl looks, a gesugao? And then laughed even more.
"How pathetic! I thought you'd be more impressive for someone with all that talk!"
"What a way with words..."
But as soon as she finished talking...
[Light Magic: Impact Grenade]
The ball expanded--- and then exploded.
-boom!-
Trees snapped as the ground around us shook, and in a flash of light, Raynare was hurled back like a ragdoll, smashing through the underbrush and skidding into an uprooted cedar tree, coughing violently.
"Ack---Kuoogh!!"
"So," I called out as I walked forward, brushing some imaginary dust off my uniform as I watched her cough up bloody phlegm, "---Do you still think you can win? Wanna reconsider my offer?"
"You---!?" Raynare spat blood and stood, wings tattered but still functional. Her pride, however, was freshly wounded.
"Are you okay?" I mockingly asked.
I didn't want her to give up too early, and judging by the look in her eyes, that seemed to do the trick.
"Dieeeee---!!!!!" She screamed, charging at me like a banshee on a mixture of fentanyl, cocaine, meth and bath salts.
"C'mon. Show me your moves." I motioned towards her.
Light spears slashed down again and again, her movements wild but deadly. I dodged some, blocked others, and even let a few dig into my shoulders.
Why? Well, it's because I wanted to see just how much damage she can do, and see just how much damage I can regenerate from.
She soared into the sky, pelting me with a barrage of golden javelins from above, as my uniform was torn to shreds, letting blood pour freely.
Kalawarna watched in shock as I stood there like a grandma's pincushion, with spears embedded in my chest, stomach, and thigh.
"You're not laughing now, are you?!" Raynare screeched, manic triumph flashing in her eyes.
I yawned. Loudly.
"I guess low-tiers are low-tiers for a reason..." I muttered. "Well, on the bright side, I'm not the type of guy to ask you to kill yourself now for disappointing me..."
That irritated her more than anything I'd said so far.
"Then again..." I muttered, glancing down at my shredded chest. "This is usually the part where some unlucky bastard dies and wakes up with Rias in their bed..."
The two Fallen looked at me incredulously as I kept mumbling while looking at my injuries.
"Hmnn... In bed with a beauty being cuddled... I can't get enough of it..." I smiled, going through happy memories in my head. "Though judging by how Kuroka usually operates, I don't think she'd be into 'just' cuddling..."
"Makes you wonder how I'd fare without this modified body of mine..."
"Hmnn, Daichi?" Kalawarna called me.
"Come to think of it, I can ask Akeno to hold me between her bountiful bosom... But what if she does something to me while I'm asleep?"
"I'm quite the shy guy, y'know?"
"Raaaahh---!!" Raynare's roar brought my attention back to her.
"Idiot. Why didn't you attack me while I was thinking? I even did it to give you a chance?"
I shook my head. "Well... It's too late now though. Because as for me? I'm not dying today."
"What the hell are you rambling on about---!!!!!" Raynare roared.
-sparkle-
The spears sticking out of me began to dissolve. And the wounds? They closed with disturbing efficiency, strands of flesh capable of giving someone trypophobia instantly as meat strands tied into each other seamlessly.
"W-What?! Do you have Twilight Healing?"
"No-pe~"
"T-Then, a healing Sacred Gear?"
"Nope." I cracked my neck. "But I'll probably get it after I'm done with you."
-swish-
Her eyes then widened as I vanished.
"Huh?!"
I reappeared behind her in the air with a single leap, and gently tapped her neck with a simple hand chop.
"Arrgggh!!!" Like a kite with broken strings(I've always wanted use that phrase), she plummeted to the ground, having a passionate kiss with the cold hard gravel behind the abandoned church.
"It's nothing personal, really." I said as I stood behind her once more.
And in that instant, [Body Manipulation] went to work.
I'm switching things up from the usual 'Fallen Gets Wings Clipped' routine. Gotta update my repertoire, after all.
---This time, it's neural rewiring.
I had her pain receptors pushed to their absolute limits, as I also had her hormonal surges modified to induce extreme panic and stress.
And, just for fun,I gave her Tachypsychia--- the phenomenon where after immensely simplifying it, I would describe as a maladjusted sense of time where time feels like it slows down or delayed.
---So for her? Every millisecond stretched into unbearable seconds of unfiltered agony.
-tap-
Then I tapped her again.
Rather than the explosive orgasm that a certain Devil maid experienced eight years ago, this time it was searing, boiling, sharp pain that assaulted Raynare unrelentingly,
Blood seeped from her ears, nose, and eyes as her jaw trembled, unable to finish the scream caught in her throat.
"Wow... You don't hold back, do you?" Kalawarna, watching from the broken doorway of the chapel, looked shaken. She tried to hide it by leaning against the frame with a sultry smile.
'Actually, I 'am' holding back, technically.' I thought, though I didn't bother explaining. 'She does have to be alive to handle this Sacred Gear thing...'
"Remind me not to get on your bad side, handsome."
I walked over, not even bothering to hide my amusement. Her bravado was cute, but I could feel the subtle tremble in her wrist.
It's weird. I don't think of myself as that kinda guy, but it does make me happy seeing them so fearful... It's almost like I could get a half-chub at the sight of it.
Putting odd revelations of myself aside, I decided to wrap up whatever business I followed Kalawarna here for as I neared closer to her.
"You won't have to worry about that," I whispered as leaned over here. "As long as you don't try to kill me."
"Like her."
Her cheeks flushed a very human red.
Was it a Fallen Angel thing? That attraction to dominance and overwhelming power? Or did I really just look that good today?
"Well, that's good to know." Kalawarna whispered, brushing her hair behind her ear.
We talked for a bit afterwards, mostly surface-level stuff about this dreadful abandoned shithole with rotting wooden pews they call a church.
She was pretty good at flirting in my humble opinion, though she was even better at deflecting. But I could tell she was extremely relieved that I hadn't turned her into a twitching mess like Raynare.
Eventually, I nodded toward the wreckage of feathers and agony lying at the base of a crumbling statue.
"She'll be out of it for about an hour, give or take. But for her, it'll feel like a couple hours have passed. Maybe more. Enough to get her thinking about life choices."
Kalawarna tilted her head. "And when she wakes up?"
"She'll be a lot more receptive to helping me. I'm really a convincing type of guy, y'know."
As the sun set over the crimson sky behind the church, I let out a little sigh. 'Just another day in the life of your soon to be friendly neighborhood Sacred Gear Pimp.'
And I still hadn't had lunch.
-dxd-
-An Hour Later-
Time crawls when you're having fun, and it 'drags' when you're forcing someone to experience hours of pain compressed into a single frozen hour.
Raynare twitched before she screamed.
The frozen agony shattered like glass, and her whole body thrashed as if trying to escape her own skin.
Tears, blood, and snot? All of it smeared across her trembling face as she sobbed and clawed at the ground. And in the end, it was a Fallen Angel left prostrating before me like a sinner begging for divine mercy.
Hilarious.
"P-please... I'll help you! I'll do anything! Sacred Gears! You can have them all! Just please!" she wailed.
I stepped forward slowly, letting my shadow stretch across her prone form. My voice stayed casual. Almost bored.
"Even [Twilight Healing]?"
She hesitated. Just a fraction of a second. But that was enough.
I snapped my fingers. The pain returned like a divine punishment from a cruel god.
Her shriek echoed through the air, but this time it didn't last as long. I canceled the effect after a few seconds as it was enough to get the point across.
-thud!-
Raynare collapsed again, this time pressing her forehead to the ground.
"I'm sorry! Forgive me! I'll give it! I'll give you everything! Just don't do that again!"
I knelt down, giving her a soft pat on the head.
"Good girl."
With a light healing spell, I cleaned up some of the worst damage, sealing cuts, easing internal ruptures, that kinda stuff.
But I left her mind fatigued. Left it as a lesson of sorts that would be etched into her head.
Kalawarna watched all this with folded arms, trying to maintain her usual sultry coolness. But her eyes were a little too wide to be fully casual.
"Time's-a-wasting! Let's go!" I sprung to my feet with a hop, and the three of us moved deeper into the church-turned-hideout.
In the basement, Raynare led us to a door hidden behind a false wall that opened into a chamber filled with ritual markings, runes in dead languages, and orbs of light that hovered above magic circles.
'Different from the anime,' I thought as the air hummed with faint energy. 'But I guess I never saw everything other than Issei's perspective.'
Raynare flinched when I looked at her, and I smirked.
"Relax. I'm not going to kill you. Unless you try something stupid."
She nodded quickly. Really quickly.
"So what do you want from the stash?"
"[Twice Critical]. Give me a few."
They both blinked.
"Seriously?" Kalawarna said. "You want 'that' basic gear? It's like the most average Sacred Gear around."
"Ye~p."
Kalawarna shrugged as Raynare retrieved several crystalline spheres and handing them to me.
"A-Also…" She began, hesitating slightly. "I-I have this other one as well. N-No name. Some punk with two-toned hair and heterochromia had it. I-I killed him and took it when he tried to show it off in front of me."
"Did you drive a Light Spear through his guy?" I asked, just to make sure.
"H-Huh? Oh, y-yeah, I did." She replied a little confused.
"Haha, wow."
I took the orb gently.
'Two-toned hair? Heterochromia? What? Did she just murder a reincarnator and took his Sacred Gear?' I chuckled. It probably wasn't, but it did make for a funny scenario. 'This woman's on a different kind of crack.'
I slipped the crystalline lights into my chest as it settled there, and gave Raynare a final pat on the head.
"I'll be off."
I hugged Kalawarna, making sure to get a healthy feel of her generous rear.
It was soft, pillowy, and proved that Big Daddy G did actually exist after all, and even maybe that he was a guy like me.
She giggled and whispered something in my ear that made me wonder if she wanted me to stay after all.
And Raynare on the other hand, stood extremely upright as she saw me off, though I could decipher a hint of relief in her eyes and body language as I left.
I paused, narrowing my eyes as I turned to face her.
"Do you want me gone 'that' badly?"
She froze as her eyes widened. "N-no! That's not it! I just— I-I mean— I'm grateful! I swear! Please don't—"
I burst into laughter. Oh, man. I'm such a meanie.
"I'm just messing with you."
Her knees gave out again.
I'd almost feel bad if she wasn't a century plus old Fallen Angel who kills people like a certain blonde british fashionista vampire eats loaves of bread.
Azazel should be thanking me for my services in assisting the needy.
Shaking my head, I walked out into the dusk, thinking about what I'd taken.
The Twice Criticals were going to be raw material--- maybe for a weapon, maybe armor, maybe something thematic, or maybe even something flexible.
And the unknown gear? Well, I hoped it was strong.
Though… if there 'was' a third Heavenly Dragon, that'd be hilarious.
Anyways...
Whistling, I followed the road toward the restored Himejima Shrine.
Dinner with Shuri and Akeno was waiting, which meant teasing. Lots of teasing.
"caw!"
Daigo, my trusty crow, flew in low and perched on my shoulder.
"Akeno fed me! She said to drag your ass home!"
I sighed again. God of Thighs, I'm doing this a lot, aren't I?
"Akeno... We're not even divorced, and she's even using my own bird against me." Still, I walked faster. Because Shuri was an amazing cook.
And teasing aside… it kinda felt like home.
-rumble-
"I'm hungry."
"caw! Me too!"
"You're always hungry, you feather brain!"
"caw! How rude!"
