Summoned Together (Highschool DXD x Male reader)

Chapter 8

Akeno had a glint in her eye, a clear desire to test your limits for magic after seeing you summon a creature she's never seen before- she seemed to happier now that you had agreed and was currently dragging you and Koneko out of the school through a secret hole in one of the fences that lead to an area deep within the woods- it almost looked like the start of a horror movie in the way that she dragged you through the woods and began to smirk the deeper you walked; Koneko hung to your side, having gotten use to your new look as the tips of your hair still flicked with flame since you hadn't completely relaxed your mana.

The walk took atleast an hour and it was approximately second period, it would obvious to those that had seen you that you were skipping class so the delinquent rumours would not be stopping yet unfortunately. Akeno began to slow, it was clear that the destination was upon you and soon the sight of it was clear; ahead of you in a small clearing was what seemed to be almost sacrificial or cultic in nature as a small tattered camp lay in ruins with a pentacle drawn into the solidified dirt by what was possibly a hand, the camp seemed cleared out with spots of dried blood on tents and on the floor around you- in the centre stood an altar of worship, a crude scarecrow like avatar strung up on a cross, it seems that the devil worshipers of the world didn't truly understand demonology as their work was crude and only built off of superstition and movies they'd seen.

Akeno: " From the way you're glaring at the altar I can tell you know a bit of demonology? "

You: " More than these guys that's clear "

Akeno: " Their poor creation of the summoning ritual is what brought me here originally and let me find them, I wasn't the one who killed them however "

You: " I wouldn't have suspected you anyway "

Akeno: " Good, however I did make a few tweaks to the circle they drew after they died and now it works for a training area "

You watched as she quickly placed her hand on the avatar of the altar and smirked, the circle on the ground forming a barrier commonly used to trap devils or demons inside and protect the summoners in case the summon became enraged or rouge. You smirked at her design and saw it was one to keep in magic and obscure the view of the inside from observers that may pass by, you knew the information you had on demonology wasn't your own yet you still felt proud about your ability to identify her technique.

You: " It's well crafted, not even a line out of place "

Akeno grinned happily as you complimented her and stood back, taking koneko to the edge of the barrier and placing her hand against it.

Akeno: " Cast another spell, don't worry about us either since if anything goes wrong I can slip past the barrier with Koneko and we'll be safer on the outside of it "

You: " Got it, I'll try now "

The magic flowed through you again like a brisk or cold chill that travelled through you- you focused again and got into a deep state where you felt the will of your soul shape the mana like a blacksmith in a forge. Your heartbeat for a second. The flames of your hair whirled to life and emblazoned like a raging wildfire. The tattoos on your arms hummed with an ominous glow as the girls jumped to a sound that began to whisper and whisk around the barrier; the sound was strange in many ways, sounding like a voice that whispered a lullaby that swirled around you and as it began to progress through the chant, it got louder- at some point of the rising volume it's voice began to switch seeming angered by something as bells rang in the background and the soft yet violent sounds of an enraged choir began to fill the space- Akeno seemed scared but more morbidly curious than she should have been and Koneko was frightened by the sight.
