Chapter 9: The Rescue Plan! Fallen Angels and Devils Team!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As the days passed, the more days passed, the closer Ryuma's relationship with Rias and her peerage became, not least for Issei, the more time he spent with the brown-haired young man, the more he understood what was in the soul of the perverted young man.
A reincarnated Devil who had many differences from the Devil Races he had ever encountered, most of them would only obey the orders of their leader, however, Issei was not that type of Devil. Ryuma realizes that the Devil still has a heart when he sees someone who is suffering, even if that person is a very dangerous person for him.
It has been a long time since he has seen such a Devil, helping others no matter where they come from, knowing no boundaries even though their Factions are different, there are not many Devils who have such a good heart. Thanks to Issei, Ryuma's notorious heart for underworld Devils began to soften, as he finally realized that not all Devils are sinful creatures that always make other creatures suffer, not for Rias and her peerage.
Issei's intention to help his friend became even more so after the day that he saw the blonde girl he had considered his friend, even though Rias would not allow it, he would still go to save his friend, even though it would mean that he might die.
Plakk!
A loud slap landed on Issei's left cheek, which immediately made everyone inside the ORC Building room speechless in a thousand languages, not least Ryuma himself who was there. Although Issei's intentions were good, he couldn't help him in the slightest, at least not for now, because he had already planned a plan that no one would have expected.
"You are a Devil! I won't allow you to see her again!" Rias said to Issei, showing a look on her face that looked so angry and annoyed, but actually, from inside her heart, she felt worried if Issei really met his friend.
"You're a Gremory Family! Obey my orders! You don't want to become a stray Devil like the Viser we've eliminated, right?!" Rias said softly, staring intently at Issei with her eyes highlighted, as a stern warning to the brown-haired young man if he tried to disobey her orders.
"Then get me out of your family!" Issei replied firmly, lowering his gaze down, he was completely unable to look at Rias, the figure who had saved him from death long ago.
Everyone was silent, Issei's reply was completely unexpected, the determination to save his friend was really deeply ingrained in his heart, no matter what consequences he would receive, he would still save Asia. Although there will be no one to help him, he will try very hard to bring the girl back.
"You're asking for something impossible..." Rias sighed softly, shaking her head softly because she was unable to hold Issei anymore, the young man's determination to save his friend was really very strong.
After that, Akeno suddenly came into the room and immediately whispered something to Rias, whatever she whispered to Rias, it seemed to be a very important thing, it could be seen, if the look on Rias's face immediately turned very serious after listening to something that Akeno had whispered to her.
"Well... I'll go... Please all of you stay here until I return, especially for you, Issei! If you go to save her... Then I will give you a punishment!" Rias said firmly, staring at all of her pieces in turn, until finally she stared at Issei with her sharp eyes, warning the young man not to do things that were beyond his limits.
"Sorry, Ryuma... I didn't mean to invite you just to see our debate..." Rias said softly, looking at Ryuma regretfully, at first, she invited Ryuma to talk about some things, however, she instead argued with Issei right in front of the young man who incidentally was her guest.
"It's okay..." Ryuma replied kindly, not at all minding the debate between Rias and Issei that had just happened in front of him, instead of feeling disturbed or disappointed, he felt happy because he found something interesting in Issei...
After that, the two beautiful girls left the room, leaving Issei, Kiba, Koneko and Ryuma speechless while staring at each other. Kiba and Koneko, also seemingly planning something for Issei, can be seen when both of them stare at each other, as if they are giving a gesture that no one can guess what it means.
"Issei-kun... Are you really going to go?" Kiba asked softly, when he saw that Issei seemed determined to go save his friend.
"Yes! And don't let any of you dare to stand in my way!" Issei replied firmly, staring at their friends with his two sharp eyes, he was determined to save his friend, if the three of his friends intended to block him, then he would not hesitate to the them anymore.
"Then... Allow me to come with you..." Kiba said firmly, pulling out a sword out of nowhere and smiling at Issei with a smile purely to provide some help.
"Me too...." Koneko said flatly without showing the slightest expression on her cute face, just like usual.
Meanwhile, Issei, who heard the words from Kiba and Koneko who intended to come with him, certainly felt very surprised and happy, he didn't know what to say anymore, before he thought that the two would hinder him, but instead they both wanted to help him to save Asia. At first, he is not at all sure that he can defeat the Fallen Angels who are holding Asia captive, but with the help of Kiba and Koneko, at least his chances of succeeding have increased.
The three of them smiled at each other, before finally changing to look at Ryuma who had just sat quietly without saying a word. They actually intend to invite Ryuma to come with the three of them, because they believe, if the black-haired young man participates, then their chances of winning will soar and almost touch the 100 percent mark.
The three of them are very sure of this, because Ryuma's strength is still very mysterious, a Fallen Angel, they still don't really know for sure what a Fallen Angel can do, moreover, Ryuma is very different from most of the same Race like him.
The room grew quieter, the three of them certainly couldn't directly invite Ryuma to come with them, because they knew that the black-haired young man had nothing to do with all of this. But unexpectedly, Ryuma suddenly glanced at them with his two sharp eyes, making Kiba, Issei and Koneko even more speechless without being able to say another word.
"Don't worry, I will come with you guys..." Ryuma said softly, showing a faint smile on his handsome face, he would come along with the three of them to save the innocent figure.
As an Angel, he would not be able to allow Adam's innocent children to suffer, it was enough for him to see the suffering of the innocent, he would not be able to remain silent anymore, guilt always haunted him and caused feelings of regret, he could not repeat it again. The task of the Angels is to protect mankind from the evil of supernatural beings, even if it is the evil of mankind itself, even though he was already falls, yet he still has the same principles when he still has all of his glory.
Hearing that Ryuma will come with them, of course, makes Kiba, Koneko and Issei feel very helped and happy, with the participation of the black-haired young man, not only will they help the rescue process, but they will also be able to see how a Fallen Angel acts. What's more, Ryuma is not a Fallen Angel like usual, instead of mastering the light element, the black-haired young man actually mastered an element that was very far away from the light.
The three young Devils coupled with a Fallen Angel, gathered in the middle of the room to teleport through the Gremory family's teleportation magic. However, the requirement to be able to teleport using the magic is that they must have ties to the Gremory family, while Ryuma does not.
Of course, this was expected by Ryuma, he realized that he could not teleport along with the three of them, therefore, he had no other choice but to use one of his techniques. An extraordinary technique that no Creature other than himself can obtain, because he is the only one who has been given that power by his own creator.
"Issei... Do you know the exact location?" Ryuma asked, staring intently at Issei, questioning if the young man knew the location where his friend was, because to use his technique, he had to know exactly where he was going to visit.
"I figured it out! Previously... Koneko and I have been assigned by Buchou to find out where the fallen angels are hiding, and what we didn't expect, we found the location where Issei-kun's friend was being held." Kiba said while smiling slightly at Ryuma, indeed, he knew the exact location where Issei's friend was, because before, he accidentally found a place where they brought Issei's friend to perform a mysterious ritual.
"Good... Now, what you have to do, is hold my hand." Ryuma said in his voice that sounded cold, looking seriously at Kiba while starting to take the handsome young man's hand.
"Close your eyes and imagine the place where she is." Ryuma said softly, telling Kiba to close his eyes and imagine the place where Issei's friend was, only then could teleportation magic be used.
To shorten the time, Kiba immediately closed his eyes without asking Ryuma anything, obeyed all his orders and began to imagine the place where he thought would be the place where Issei's friend was. When Kiba was closing his eyes, Ryuma also closed his eyes, both of them seemed very focused, until the atmosphere of the room where they were felt so dense.
The atmosphere of the room felt so dense, that it made Issei a little difficult to breathe, the candles that were being burned by the fire placed at each end of the room, suddenly went out for no apparent reason. From outside the window, there is no longer a view of the Kuoh Academy area that could be clearly seen through the window glass before, as well as the sounds of animals and night insects, all of which suddenly disappeared and were replaced by an atmosphere that was so very mysterious and very quiet.
Swoosh!
"You all have to close your eyes too!" Ryuma said loudly, telling Issei and Koneko to close their eyes.
Without asking much more, Issei and Koneko immediately closed their eyes and obeyed Ryuma's orders, even though they felt very curious about what really happened, they still did not intend to ask Ryuma directly. Right after the two of them closed their eyes, they both felt that it seemed that the middle room was shaking quite violently, even they could hear various objects falling on the floor.
The air pressure also felt heavier, making Issei very difficult to just take his breath, he felt that around him, there was a lot of energy pressing on him, as if the energy really wanted to crush his whole body. However, the strange incident didn't last too long, it all ended when Ryuma suddenly opened his voice...
"Well... We've arrived... You can open your eyes." Ryuma said in his voice that sounded low, telling Issei and Koneko to open their eyes again, because they had now arrived at their destination.
Slowly, Issei opened his eyes again, and found that he was still in the ORC Building, just like before, everything still looked the same, what was different at this time, was that there were so many things that had fallen on the floor. Of course, feeling that he was still in his previous place, made him feel very surprised and confused, was Ryuma really serious about this?! Is he just messing around and bragging?!
"Koneko... I told you to open your eyes, right?" Ryuma said with his voice that sounded soft, it turned out, Koneko still hadn't opened her eyes, the cute white-haired girl seemed to still close her eyes tightly.
Right after hearing Ryuma's words, Koneko immediately opened her eyes spontaneously, making Issei, Kiba and Ryuma who saw it couldn't help but unravel a gentle smile on their respective faces. Meanwhile, Koneko seemed to only be silent while lowering her gaze down, her face also seemed to blush slightly, making Issei who saw it very surprised.
It's rare for him to see Koneko's adorable figure like this, usually, the white-haired girl always has a flat face, giving the impression that she doesn't care about what happens around her at all, but now, no matter how flat her nature she shown to the world, she is still a girl who has an adorable side. However, all that is not a top priority for Issei, Kiba and Ryuma, the three of them realize that there is not much time left, they must act quickly before it is too late.
However, how can they act if they are still in the same place, which is in the ORC Building, after all the strange phenomena that have occurred, in fact it is not at all a sign that they have reached their destination. Bragging, that's all Issei can think of Ryuma, the black-haired young man seems pretentious, but in fact, everything is just nonsense.
There is no such thing as teleportation done by Ryuma, but actually, Issei doesn't understand what he is thinking at all and he has absolutely no right to have such thoughts towards Ryuma. Just when he was feeling annoyed because he thought that Ryuma was bragging, suddenly a strange and extraordinary phenomenon happened right in front of him.
Suddenly, the entire room of the ORC was shrouded in thick black mist, even to the floor he was standing on, also surrounded by thick black fog. Realizing that something strange was happening, Issei felt very surprised and confused about what really happened, but, not having had time to find answers to all his questions, once again an extralogical event appeared that happened right in front of him.
Bloshhh!
The entire room of the ORC, whether it's the walls, tables, windows, roof, floor, everything... It suddenly collapsed simultaneously at the same time, and turned into a thick black mist that spread in all directions, completely covering the sight of the three of them. The cold and cool feeling, Issei, Kiba and Koneko can feel right when they are exposed to the thick black mist, they are constantly amazed at what is happening to them, because this is the first time they have encountered such an extraordinary phenomenon.
They were forced to close their eyes, because the thick black fog had enveloped them from various directions, and to prevent side effects if the black mist reached their eyes. After a while, the three of them opened their eyes again, and were immediately attacked by a huge sense of awe, surprise and astonishment.
In front of the three of them now, it is not the view of the ORC room, but a large abandoned church, it can be seen that the church building is shabby and has damage to the walls. The three of them also realized that they were currently in the middle of a wilderness that was out of nowhere, all they could see was a row of trees stretching wide in all directions.
Right at that very moment, Issei immediately realized, that Ryuma did not brag at all, in every word, so would hold a pure truth, no lies at all. The strength of the black-haired young man also needs to be doubted, after seeing for himself the strength he has, he realized that Ryuma is not a simple figure who does not have a strong background. Not only Issei, Kiba and Koneko also think so, they believe that Ryuma is not a random Fallen Angel figure, they are sure that Ryuma used to be not a random Angel figure. But in fact, there are still many secrets that they do not know about Ryuma, they only know a small part of the secret that the young man has been keeping deep in his sinful soul, a very shocking secret, which will also serve as a reminder of how great a sin the young man has committed, and also as a warning, that sin will not only attack mankind, and Devil, but will also attack the figure of an Angel, who in fact is a sacred being who is very obedient to their Creator.
