The Path to Supremacy

Interlude

AN:- THIS CHAP WILL BE CONTAINING A LEMON

Both Issei and Aine reappeared in the living room of lucifuge manor where the rest of his peerage were waiting. As soon as the duo materialized Issei dropped on to one of the couches and groaned out in pain as his body and bones were still very injured.

Everyone gasped at his condition while aine looked on with a mixture of exasperation and worry.

"What happened to him?" Jeanne worriedly asked as she sat herself down next to Issei.

"Apparently the last task in the ritual involved taking on a freaking border line super devil. This is the result of said battle." Issei groaned out.

"How bad are your injuries?" Aine asked worriedly.

"Im positive that several of muscles are strained almost torned and I am pretty sure that all of ribs are broken and my reserves are running pretty low as of now." Issei said before wincing in pain.

"Yaare yaare Issei sama you really are a klutz wait here." Ravel said before she left to go to her room leaving behind a perplexed Issei.

"Am I really?" Issei asked with a frown marring his face.

"You definitely are." Jeanne said enthusiastically.

"As much as I hate to say to You are." Seigfried said with a thoughtful nod.

"I dont know you well enough to answer you as of now Issei dono." Bova said with a bow of his head.

"Oh my poor adorable Klutz." Aine cooed at Issei who was beginning to feel exasperated but refrained from making any unexpected movements since his body was still in a very deplorable state.

Ravel arrived back into the room a few moments later. In her hand was was blackish red vial of pheonix tears. Stopping in front of Issei she extended her hand towards him and said " Here you go Issei Sama this is a vial of pheonix tears, drink it. It should heal you up in a jiffy."

Issei took the vial with a thankful nod before he uncorked it and drank it in one big gulp. He sighed in relief when he felt the healing effects of the tears kicked in. He could feel the throbbing and strain in his muscles slowly recede along with his ribs being slowly realigned to their original position and style.

As the tears worked their magic, he felt tired and his body and eyes demanded sleep. He stood up and lightly yawned before addressing the group and saying "Alright then every one, we have 2 days until the young devil meeting. I want all of you to relax and get some sleep."

Everyone nodded before they slowly stood up and left to go there rooms. Except for bova who left the lounge and then the building after which he went back to his full size and flew away to his cave that was located in one of the many mountains found in the lucifuge territory.

Issei despite the pheonix tears was extremely tired and was content with going straight to bed. Aine sensed this and was more than willing to take the charge for this moment. Grabbing his hand she took him to their joint room and clicked her fingers making two magic circles appear under the duo.

The first and smaller one was something akin to a cleaning spell. It went up and started cleaning all the blood, sweat and grime the duo had build up due to the outrageous trials they had endured earlier on in the day, while the second and larger one was used to change their dresses from regular day wear to comfortable nighties.
