Pillar of Hatred

Chapter 36

(Y/N Pov)

After dealing with the fallen trio I put them into a space where they can't escape using my gluttony power but not actually eating them. Then the three of us went and walked over to the church with Rias having a blush on her face while being a bit grumpy because of Akeno. Teleporting into the church basement we quickly make work of Raynare's cronies helping out Kiba and Koneko. Heading upstairs I see Rias leaning against a wall and now talking to Issei. Hmm... guess it's time for the boring talking part again... I summon some popcorn using my teleportation seal and begin snacking on it.

Rias: That's right. I believed you would defeat her.

Issei: President...?

Rias: I finished my business, so I jumped into the basement here. And when I did, I found Yuto and Koneko in a free-for-all with many priests.

Kiba: And thanks to president, we made it out.

Issei: Aw, man, I was worried for nothing.

Koneko opens the door carrying Raynare by the back over her outfit and seeing how chill Koneko is about it is pretty funny yet cute.

Koneko: President, I brought her.

With a thud, Koneko tosses Raynare onto the ground in front of Rias.

Rias: How do you do, Fallen Angel Raynare? I am Rias Gremory, next head of the House of Gremory.

Raynare: The Gremory clan's heiress?

Rias: I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, short though it may be. Now...

Rias drops three fallen angel feathers she ripped off of Raynare's buddies before I put them into my power for safekeeping.

Rias: I blasted your friends who came to call on me.

Issei: You blasted them?

Kiba: The president is also known as the crimson-haired Ruin Princess, the empress of annihilation.

Issei: Annihilation? And I've become a member of her household?

Looking down as I feel a hand I see Koneko looking up at me as she grabs a handful of my popcorn not even questioning where and how I got it.

Raynare: How dare the Gremory heiress...

Rias: Ever since Dohnaseek attacked Issei earlier, I inferred that there were multiple fallen angels who were plotting something in this town. I would have ignored it, as long as it didn't cause me any trouble.

Issei: President, then, it was for my sake?

Turning around Rias is about to speak but notices Issei's sacred gear has changed.

Rias: Issei, your Sacred Gear...

Issei: O-Oh, yeah, before I knew it, it changed form.

Rias: A red dragon. Yes, so that's it.

Issei: Fallen Angel Raynare, Hyodo Issei's Sacred Gear is not just a simple Twice Critical.

Raynare: What?

Rias: It is something that is said to have the ability to double the owner's power every ten seconds, allowing him to transcend even God and Satan momentarily: one of the 13 varieties of Longinus- the gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor, Boosted Gear! Regardless of how powerful it is, it is not all-powerful, since it does require time to power up. He managed to beat you because you let your guard down. Now, begone, fallen angel.

Raynare then goes into her... wait what was her name again when she "dated" Issei... Yama? Yamu? Oh yeah, Yuma... right? Anywho, I hand the tub of popcorn to Koneko who continues snacking on it as I walk next to Rias before holding my hand out. Raynare tries begging me to not but I don't care as I use Gluttony causing a vortex of a black mist to surround Raynare before she disappears as I "eat" her literally. But just like with the others she's actually inside the dimensional space which she can't leave unless I let her out.
