Red Dragon Emperor of Domination

Chapter Seven: Hell

Issei turned and looked torwards the Church, magic was radiating from it.

[Partner, they may be trying to take the girl's Sacred Gear.]

"Not if I deport those bastards first!"

Issei exclaimed, quickly casting a speed spell on himself, Issei moved through the streets like a gust of wind and quickly reached the front of the church. The fluctuations were getting more erratic, meaning the extraction process was almost done. He had to hurry.

"Sorry about this, God." Issei offered an apology to the Biblical God and unceremoniously kicked down the door. The inside of the church was almost pitch black, dimly lit only by moonlight.

"Yahooooooooooooo!" Issei looked up at the sound of an overly enthusiastic greeting to see a white-haired teenage boy dressed in priest's clothes leap down from the rafters, a crazed look on his face. It was Freed.

"You again?!! Oh he-"

"Out of my way!" Issei cut him off and punched him in the gut with a lightning-coated fist. The Stray Priest hunched over in pain, coughing up blood.

"Fuck..." He lost consciousness and slumped to the ground, a fist-sized burn on his torso and blood pouring out of his mouth.

Issei felt fluctuations of energy coming from below the church and kicked the altar aside, revealing a staircase leading down. Descending quickly, he reached a set of iron doors. Inside, he could hear a girl screaming in pain.

"Shit!" He kicked down the door and was greeted by the sight of dozens of Stray Priest gathered in front of an altar, with Asia tied to a wooden cross, screaming in pain. In front of her were three Fallen Angels, a tall man, a tall woman, and a gothic Lolita girl.

"Who the hell are-!?" One of the stray priests began to demand of him, but Issei cut him off by jumping up and landing on his head. Using the heads of the Stray Priests as stepping stones, Issei made his way to the altar, but just as he reached it.

FLASH

There was a bright flash of green light and two silver rings with green gems embedded in them floated out of Asia's body, wrapped in green light. Asia's Sacred Gear had been successfully extracted. Asia slumped, the extraction process having taken a huge toll on her body. The tall woman collected the rings

Cursing, Issei leapt up to the altar and kicked the three Fallen Angels aside. He sliced off the ropes holding tying Asia to the cross with a bolt of lightning and caught her as she fell forward into his arms. Meanwhile, the three Fallen Angels recovered from the kick.

"You little...!"

Issei pulled a talisman from his pocket as the tall man began cursing him. He shut his eyes as the talisman exploded in a bright flash of white light, blinding the Fallen Angels and the Stray Priests, disorienting them and causing to fall into a panic. Using the opportunity, Issei escaped the underground chamber with Asia in his arms. Issei ascended the stairs and returned to the nave. He noticed that the Stray Priest he had defeated was gone. A trail of blood lead out of the doors. That guy was actually able to get up and walk away in the short time Issei was down there? He was briefly impressed before he sat Asia down on one of the benches. Her body was slowly getting colder.

"Asia! Asia!" Issei attempted to wake Asia up by calling her name. Asia's eyes opened slightly, revealing tired green eyes, most of their light having already faded.

"...Issei...san?"

"Yeah, it's me. Sorry I'm late."

"...I'm happy...You came to save me..."
