Third Person POV
???: "So thats their base of operations?"
???: "Seems like it, Lady"
Both Lady and Trish were currently hiding behind some trees near the abandoned church building, which was the Fallen Angels' base of operations; although they weren't alone because both Koneko and Kiba were with them.
After agreeing to help with rescuing Asia, Issei told Rias that the Fallen would most likely be on guard for them; so the crimson-haired devil girl came up with two suggestions that could aid them in their quest to save the blonde.
The first thing she suggested was attacking the abandoned church at night, as it would give Rias and her Peerage an advantage because Devils are creatures of the night and are enhanced by the darkness.
Issei reluctantly agreed to the idea, mainly because waiting for night meant that their time to stop the ritual would be cut in half, which Issei wanted to prevent. From what Ddraig informed him when he first awakened back in Dante and Vergil's world, there is no way to physically take a Sacred Gear from an individual willingly.
A Sacred Gear is bound to that person's entire being from the moment they are brought into the world, which means that it's attached to their soul, and any attempt to remove it would result in the wielder's death. The only exception to this rule could be weapon-type Sacred Gears because they lack a soul within them and are simply tools to use in combat; though it's only a theory that Ddraig had because he hasn't come across any weapon-based Sacred Gears.
Either way, Issei hoped that he had enough time before the Fallen began the ritual.
The other thing that Rias had suggested was that both she and Akeno serve as a distraction; because she was the heiress of the Gremory clan, the Fallen should be drawn to her immense magical power, which should give Issei and the others enough time to attack the church.
Issei liked the idea, but there was another problem that they would have to face when they got there: Freed and the demons that were obeying him. From the info that Lady and Trish mentioned, Freed has changed since the last time Issei laid eyes on him, and the brown-haired boy gets the feeling he wants payback for slicing off his arm.
The demons would be easy, especially since Trish and Lady already killed off a good number of them when they attacked Issei's home. The only real issue would be Freed, whom Issei would personally deal with himself because they have a score to settle with each other.
Kiba: "Koneko, can you sense that?"
Koneko nodded her head, gaining Lady's attention as she looked at the blonde knight.
Lady: "What is it?"
Kiba: "There's a ton of priests inside there."
Trish: "They aren't the only ones..."
She narrowed her eyes.
Trish: "I can sense a good handful of demons as well; but there's also something else..."
Kiba: "Think it's Freed?"
Trish simply shrugged her shoulders.
Trish: "Wouldn't be able to tell; this is nothing that I have ever sensed before."
She then glanced at Kiba.
Trish: "Thanks again for agreeing to help with this."
Kiba simply smiled at Trish.
Kiba: "No problem. Issei's a good buddy of mine, and if you're friends with him, then you're alright in my book."
He looked at Koneko.
