#3 DAYS HAVE PASSED. TIME OF THE ATTACK IS NOW#
#ADRIAN REYNOLDS POV#
"We will be alright, Asia. You don't have to worry too much about us," I tell her as I try to calm her down and convince her not to come with us, as it may be too dangerous for her
"But...what if you get hurt...I could heal you," She says, and I resist the urge to smile at her attempts to convince us
"Asia, we will be alright," I tell her, and take the next few minutes to calm her down
"Irina...Xenovia...are you ready yet...you are wearing that again?" I ask exasperated upon seeing them in their battle uniform...I still can't believe that is the standard uniform for female exorcists...seriously...at least put a type of metal plating on it
"These are the standard issue battle uniforms given by the church...they are more than adequate enough," Xenovia says while shrugging, and my exasperation grows
Seriously...I have seen some of the stuff male exorcists wear...
"Whatever..." I whisper under my breath, not about to complain about the eye candy
"Ready," Irina comments while wrapping a scarf around her arm...Excalibur Mimic
Meanwhile, Xenovia lifts up Excalibur Destruction in a case...which I still have no idea where she got it from
I nod after making sure I have all of my equipment on me, ready, and we go out and I watch as Asia goes back into the apartment I am sharing with Irina and Xenovia, with a concerned look on her face that makes me sigh as I remember a very serious issue
"What's wrong?" Irina asks me as I look at the road we are taking
"It's just...how much this all seems like a setup..." I tell her, and she nods, as I have already told her about my realizations
Someone planned this, especially given that both Irina and Xenovia have Excaliburs with them...which means that there very likely exists a traitor in the Church...
A shiver passes through me as I am reminded once again just how serious this actually is
"Remember what Griselda said...once we deal with that group, we are to return as soon as possible to the estate and bring Asia back with us. We need to move as fast as we can. In order to avoid any trouble...also...she is pretty angry at us remember," Irina reminds me, causing me to frown
Yeah...I really do not like making her angry...one of the main reasons is that I have at least come to acknowledge her as an aunt to me, given the way that she has treated me ever since she met me...and I owe her too much already
We arrive at the borders of the ward that I set up and take a deep breath as we go inside
I connect to all of the wards around the place and activate the Draining and the Restoration Wards to full power
As they activate, I recite the spells to empower Irina and Xenovia
I focus as I feel my magical reserves lowering by about a third...which is expected considering that I just cast 6 different spells, even if they were cast repeatedly
(N/A: He used a speed up, attack up, and a defense up spells twice so...six spells)
My eyes narrow as the Rogue Exorcists enter the church and quickly find out where we are...which is a given since we are not exactly hiding either way
My eyes lock onto their light pistols, and that is when I activate the Pressure Wards as they start to put in a bit more effort into moving now
As I look at the Rouge Exorcists, I understand immidietly why they were kicked out of the church as I look into their eyes filled with hatred, bloodlust, and their eyes are starting to become clouded with lust as they take in Xenovia and Irina's bodies
They try to take aim at Irina and Xenovia, but with the added pressure, they move just slow enough that Irina and Xenovia are able to take them out
They managed to defeat around half of the Rogue Exorcists, and that is when I noticed a woman on top of the church itself
She has blue hair and brown eyes and is wearing a jacket that shows a considerable amount of cleavage
I narrow my eyes
"Irina, Xenovia...you 2 deal with the Rogue Exorcists. I will deal with the Fallen," I tell them as I transform into my angel form
Causing the woman on the roof of the Church to gasp as I start flying over to her at a considerable speed
She scowls as she creates a light spear in her hand and rushes to me
I take note of her rather slow speed in comparison to mine and coat my hand in light energy and grab at he spear, making her gasp in surprise
I take the opportunity to punch her once in the face and usurp control over her light spear and make it mine
I smirk as I start controlling the Light Spear...saving a bit of energy from having to create my own
Further manipulating the Light Spear in my hand, I change its shape into that of a staff and hit her hard on the back of the head with it...knocking her out in the process and breaking the light weapon in my hands
My eyes widen as I flap my wings once to move out of the way of someone trying to stab me in the back
I turn to look at another Fallen wearing a fedora
(This guy must be the strongest here...I don't sense anyone else at his level of power...) I think to myself, sensing his power to be around the mid-class level
Still...I won't take it at face value...any opponent can be dangerous if given the opportunity
I cast a fire spell imbued with Holy Energy toward him
He dodges out of the way, and the spell hits the roof...causing part of it to collapse and the blue-haired fallen angel to drop inside, still unconscious
"What is an angel doing here?" The Fallen asks as he looks at me with frustration and resentment in his eyes
I stay quiet as I rush toward him...intent on finishing this battle as soon as possible
The Fallen dodges an energy slash sent by Xenovia as she and Irina finish putting down the Rogue Exorcists
Irina grabs 2 of the Light Pistols on the ground and starts shooting at the Fallen in front of me
I smile despite myself at their help
The Fallen creates 2 Light Spears in each of his hands, and I can already tell what is going on, that they are unstable, given the fact that they are crackling and leaking energy
He is not that good at creating them, which means that he is rather unskilled with his own powers
My mind starts to draw its own conclusions as to why a Fallen would be so unskilled
Either he was just lazy and never bothered to learn how to...which is unlikely as most Fallen would train themselves to the ground if they couldn't form a single light spear
The second...is that he is Half-Human Half-Fallen which would go a long way on explaining his abysmal control over his own Light Power...
