Chapter 13 - Counterattack and the sacred gears

In a mere seconds and i'm already this tattered with a grave wound in my stomach it felt like my insides have been hit by a melted iron i guess but either i'm already dulled to the pain or maybe just my touki is already in the process of healing me and i was still remembering what the president had warned me about if you met a fallen try to escape and report it back immediately .

I already tried to reach her but i guess it's no avail i'm on my own and can't use teleportation , and can't run because of Issei but why i didn't think of flying i can at least try to counterattack or delay her for some times at least and if i'm not in enough troubles already i heard a ~swoosh ~ and she was already above me saying : oh you are a tenacious little devil aren't you , my holy spear of purification is more than capable of annihilating low class devils like you but you survived i guess more fun for me and more suffering for you . and her hand flashed with a yellow spell circle appearing from her hands and began to shoot me with light spheres while smiling confidently as if she believed that my death is only a matter of time .

Since the barrier is useless against her light attack might as well aim with an offensive spell to i just know of the perfect one and i began to channel my demonic power and my spell typhoon shuriken white circle appeared and i shoot it while controlling the shuriken with ease against those light spheres then after destroying her attack i began to rain typhoon shurikens at her and in instant she began to parry but still got hit in her torso in one of her wings .

I'm really going to enjoy shredding you to pieces devil scum how much demonic power you use is only delaying the inevitable once you run out of energy you are a dead meat now let me see how many of those attacks can you do with your current reserve shesaid while gritting her teeth and glaring at me .

And i'm tired of her cursing and my successful counterattack began to boost my confidence while also decreasing the worries in my heart and the mighty image that i built for the fallen at Rias'words , maybe we'll really make it out alive so i wasn't trying to anger her at first as an angry enemy with a defenceless burden at my side was going to make our survival even harder but now let's make her angry maybe she will make a mistake that i can use to my advantage so i said :

you keep calling me scum but who tried to kill a normal human kid and even used a sneak attack and you can't even defeat me a low class devil and even got hurt if i were you i would already be ashamed to death but i guess with the outfit you are wearing you are shameless is that something you achieved overnight after your fall from grace or was it the reason you fell in the first place , i guess i'm really went overboard i would say it's my devil side taking right now but i agree with it completely .

At these words if Raynare as she called herself was giving me i will kill you eyes before now it is just red from anger with pure hatred in them and you are already dead kinda eyes , i guess i really touched a nerve there as she took off again and this time behind her back a dozen light spell circles appeared all aimed at me and the boy unconscious behind me .

I need to apologize to Koneko if i made it out of this situation i guess touki would also work on the fallen angels senses the same way it did with the devils but Koneko warning kept appearing on my mind i guess i will use it just this time as i don't think my shurikens will be able to top this .

I spread some of my touki outwards and Koneko was somehow right as i felt disgusted the moment i felt Raynare's aura i almost puked but i felt something from that aura but couldn't remember what exactly it's really difficult to use touki in a dark environment without enough control a life and death fight might do just that honing my control at least my touki still spread around me and Issei as it is crucial for my next move you see i will try to mislead Raynare into thinking she hit us while actually i'm just messing with her senses and i will conjure some smoke as to cover our tracks then i will try to hold Issei and fly out of here in the cover of the smoke while touki is doing its work and to deal with the coming spheres of light i guess i will need the right moment to unleash a barrage of spells like she just did with earth attribute this time as the wind shurikens against the light spheres before left some of the spheres crumbs and with these many spells let's just say i'm bound to get hit by some if i'm not carful and it's not worth the risk i'm finally at the escape door and this time let me just be on the defense .

why's she conjuring her light spear did my taunt really angered her to this extent i guess the only thing to do now is to improvise based on the situation and i'm enhancing my touki circulation as well if she want a close fight then it actually might work to my favor .

As i began to revise my plan the attack or barrage of attacks came i tried to do the same and unfortunately only two circles appeared behind my back i guess an earth walls should be enough to handle this and with my hand i conjured dark smoke like clouds around and waited for what will happen next .

I was wrong about the earth walls they were riddled with holes but it served its purpose as most of the projectiles missed us but then came Raynare holding her light spear and it directly dissolved the dark smoke and she began to thrust her spear at me again aiming at my chest really where is help when you need one let's just do our best to survive .

Before the attack hit i raised my touki circulation even more and i began flashing with white light but this time it felt different than before , my body felt much lighter than anytime before and the attack incoming was like in slow motion even slower than in my focused mode and this time i felt my body can actually move in sync with my mind , and felt like my senses is all connected to one another and also felt a growing confidence in my stance , it was as if i'm completely in control of everything inside and outside of my body which eased my tensed heart and gave me a weird feeling of comfort as if the whole life and death situation i'm in is nothing but a mere trifle that could be solved with a single move on my part it was a comforting feeling .

I focused on keeping the rhythm of my touki and the speed it is flowing on and the attack came and i just sidestepped with ease as but my skin still got tingled at the reminder of the damage taken from before i find Raynare is now completely open and just thought a chance like this won't come twice so i focused the touki inside my hand cautiously to not miss up the rhythm much and changed my hand into a fist now cladded with bluish like light and i punched Raynare face with it and heard a voice saying (boost) my mind but now is not the time to dwell about it a green energy crept on my bluish fist and the colors become brighter then mixed to a cyan like color in a milliseconds then bombed the fallen angel in front me in the face and she was sent flying in a straight direction and disappeared from both my sight and touki sensors and she is still flying from the sheer force i looked at my hands in astonishment and felt my touki rhythm interrupted as the comforting feeling left as fast as it came we really need to leave .

I spread my wings and get hold of Issei and then began my first strategic aerial retreat swiftly but then it happened after some height i hit a barrier and it gave me a shock when trying to force my way through luckily it was just a shock otherwise Issei would have been fried by it at the same moment i heard a aloud crash sound and the barrier began cracking then shattered i guess she reached her destination too after the barrier cracked a magic teleportation circle appeared in the air with Rias and Akeno coming from it i took a long breath of relief and then began to land with Issei .

President there's a traces of concealment barriers of different effects as well as sense dampening barriers which specifically target devils and their is the bad smell of a fallen , how did you meet a fallen angel Tetsya ,are you okey ? Was what Akeno said to Rias and the last part was for me and they both landed as well with Rias coming to me and start poking me from head to toe as if making sure that I'm okay then said in apologized and concerned tone : are you okey Tetsya sorry we couldn't reach you when you called the barrier must have been jamming the connection and how come you are here we went looking for you after Kiba asked about your whereabouts and can't seem to reach you on your phone what happened ?

I answered briefly to Akeno and nodded at her inquiry about the fallen angel encounter and told her i'm okey as she launched herself at my left arm and got cozy there by holding it on her chest .

Then looked at Rias in understanding and began to tell her approximately of everything that occurred tonight with Issei and his imposter girlfriend Yuma Amano who turned out to be the self proclaimed evil fallen angel Raynare and the condition of Issei when i found him and the green light that was on him then crept on my own right hand after and the fight with Raynare or more like the short version of it then told her about my touki new discovered usage and my last devastating attack that sent her flying until she hit the barrier and they arrived and asked how they found me and Rias said :

I'm really glad that you are okay Tetsya as how did we found you lets just say the devil phone re-sent the missed calls on its own after you destroyed the barrier and its locater pinpoint us to the location immediately , Akeno could you search for the whereabouts of the fallen i don't sense it but see if you can find any traces of her . Akeno took the order and pouted while letting go of my arm and then looked intently at Rias for a few seconds then teleported away .

I turned to Rias and i find her glaring at me like i did something wrong so i asked :

had i done something to upset you president ?

if i did i sincerely apologize .

Idiot i understand you got summoned out of nowhere but why you would give a human a flyer and a modified one to teleport only you to him at that if that flyer fell into the wrong hands you would be doomed . She tearfully said and she then came and hugged me while saying : i still owe you a life idiot .

I again apologized and carefully Caressed her back and found some other kind of comfort in this hug after that intense battle The hug continued for a few moments fter that i began to feel some tension from Rias and began trying to move but she said staying still is your punishment for being so reckless .

I wonder how hugging the most beautiful girl in the school was being considered a punishment but i just nodded and luckily another voice came to end the awkward atmosphere by none other than Akeno as she said : Ara ara the president and Tetsya are really daring .

Rias blushing with smoke almost coming from above her head then broke the hug and calmly asked if she found anything but she said some blood and traces of teleportation device .

I felt sleepy all of a sudden and was just trying to ask them if we should leave and raised my hand to gain their attention and there it was the weird green light flashing inside my hands and i felt something really wrong inside my stomach and passed out and their attention was focused on me and the last thing i heard before i lost conscious was Akeno and Rias voice saying almost simultaneously

it's really a sacred gear .
