Upon vanquishing Antares, Jinwoo implored the Rulers to utilize the Cup of Reincarnation. His earnest wish was to resurrect those he had tragically lost during the war against the Monarchs. However, the Rulers cautioned him that this act would not t...

"Is there anything I need to know?" Jinwoo asked, his voice calm yet commanding. "Anything you were planning to do after the death of Issei?"
Raynare's face slightly faltered, a flicker of hesitation betraying her internal conflict. She had plans—crucial plans—to extract a Sacred Gear from a nun named Asia Argento. This stranger, with his overwhelming presence and unknown intentions, threatened to unravel everything she had worked for.
"Answer me," Jinwoo demanded, his tone brooking no argument. His gaze was piercing, and Raynare felt an unusual spike of fear brewing within her. There was something about him—an aura of authority that went beyond mere power—that made her instinctively wary.
Taking a deep breath, Raynare met his eyes, her resolve weakening under his scrutiny. "I was tasked with another mission," she admitted reluctantly. "There is a nun, Asia Argento, who possesses a Sacred Gear known as Twilight Healing. It's a powerful artifact capable of healing even fatal wounds. I was planning to take it from her."
Jinwoo's expression remained impassive, but his mind whirred with this new information. "Where is this nun now?" he asked.
"She's staying at a church on the outskirts of town," Raynare answered, her voice barely above a whisper. "She trusts me... thinks I'm an ally."
Jinwoo's eyes narrowed, a plan forming in his mind. "We need to ensure her safety. If the fallen angels are targeting her for her Sacred Gear, she won't be safe for long."
Raynare's eyes widened in surprise. "You intend to protect her?" she asked, disbelief evident in her tone.
"Yes," Jinwoo replied firmly. "And you will help us. You will convince her to leave the church and we'll see what we do after that."
Raynare's shoulders slumped in resignation. "Very well," she agreed, though her voice lacked conviction. "I'll do as you ask."
Jinwoo nodded, satisfied with her compliance. As the night deepened, Jinwoo prepared for the task ahead, his mind focused on the looming confrontation. Protecting Asia Argento and her Sacred Gear was now a priority, and he would ensure that no harm came to her.
The Next Day: 10pm
The sun had long dipped below the horizon, casting the town of Kuoh in a blanket of twilight as Issei made his way home from his friends' house. The cool evening air and the quiet rustle of leaves provided a serene backdrop, a stark contrast to the turmoil that had recently upended his life. Feeling a strange pull, Issei detoured through the park where he had last met Yuuma.
As he wandered through the familiar paths, he suddenly sensed a presence behind him. Spinning around, he was met with the sight of another fallen angel—Dohnaseek. The malevolent gleam in the angel's eyes sent a shiver down Issei's spine.
"Another one?" Issei muttered to himself, his heart pounding. Dohnaseek smirked, raising his hand to conjure a deadly spear of light.
Dohnaseek's eyes gleamed with malevolent intent as he conjured a spear of light, its radiant glow a stark contrast to the encroaching darkness of the park. "Time to finish what Raynare did not do," he snarled, hurling the spear toward Issei.
