The bluish fire vanished as the ritual was completed, but as Soma wanted it was not a perfect ritual as Kiba was not killed. But even with the best of treatments, it would be a long time before he could be a threat again and he would need immediate medical support.
"Well, with luck your allies will come soon when they sense what happened here and be too distracted by you to actually come after me. " Soma said easily enough before moving to Kiba's body, scorched marks covering his whole body as there was barely any movement in his chest.
Without hesitation, he took out the knives that were stuck in Kiba, all aimed at non-lethal spots of course. Kiba was to serve as a decoy to make his escape from whatever was happening easier, a dead decoy would lose its meaning.
Seeing that he had done what he had to Soma left the shed, taking a deep breath he sensed the location of the demons around and noted the presence of several of them around the front of the church just as he also sensed the presence of something different to the northeast close to another demonic energy that was speeding in the direction of in front of the church.
This was useful information for Soma who proceeded to leave to the northwest of the area. He had to escape before anything more was to happen and what is left of his magic reserves dry up.
'At least I confirmed I can deal with the demonic beings in town. Not sure how strong that guy is compared to the others though, better get back to his house and set up the protection perimeter before I can go to sleep.
'

In front of the church, one could find Issei looking despondent at the scene in front of him. Due to Kiba's absence in the invasion of the church, Issei and Koneko took considerably longer to reach the nun, her death having long since transpired by the time they arrived to rescue her and Raynare had in her hands Twilight Healer.
Following that the combat got extremely fierce since the fallen angel could heal herself quickly from any injuries, and with Koneko and Issei having already gotten quite injured thanks to the scuffle with the mad exorcist Freed Selzen and the other Exorcists around it was no surprise that they were pushed back a whole lot.
Thankfully Rias arrived in time before anything more happened, dispatching Raynare rather easily using her Power of Destruction. She arrived in a hurry as she saw the light spears or Raynare being thrown around so she realized that things were likely bad, leaving Akeno behind to deal with the three fallen angels.
A pale-green light filled the church. It was Asia's Sacred Gear.
Raynare's eradication under the overwhelming power of destruction seemed to have released it. Such a fact was only possible because of how fragile the link between Raynare and the gear was due to how recent the whole thing was.
The gear was a pair of rings and it bathed the entire area in its warm, comforting glow as Rias took it into her hand.
"Twilight Healing, this is quite the useful gear for sure. " Rias said with a light smile.
The ability to heal others just like that, it would be invaluable for sure.
"B-Buchou, can you heal her?" Issei asked, cradling Asia's body in his arms, his face smeared with tears over the injustice of it all.
". .
. Maybe if I turn her into my Bishop.
I am just not sure if it can work seeing as she has died a little while back, but we can at least try it. " Rias said and Issei showed an extremely hopeful expression hearing this.
He truly wishes that Rias can bring the innocent nun who never did anything wrong back from the dead, even if it was as a devil servant.
Rias smiled seeing Issei's expression, she could never really say no to her cute peerage members so she could at least try and bring Asia back from the dead.
Moving to the nun's body she took out her Bishop piece and prepared herself.
The nun looked so peaceful in death that it seemed as if she were only sleeping, no visible injuries o be seen in her and she looked as if she was an art piece. Rias placed the Twilight Healing on top of her chest, the geat vanishing inside Asia's body first before Rias put the crimson Bishop piece on Asia's chest.
"I, Rias Gremory, call to thee, Asia Argento! Heed my command! Return thy soul from the shadows of death and rise once more as my demon servant. Rejoice, for thou hast been given life anew as my Bishop!"
The Bishop Piece glowed bright and. .
. did not enter Asia's body.
Rias looked confused for a moment before sighing and shaking her head.
"Sorry, Issei. It seems that it is too late, her soul already completely left Earth and went to the afterlife fully.
It normally takes longer for this to happen, she must not have had as many things holding her back and accepted her death. "
"Shit. " Issei said as he began to cry all over again, going from despair, to hope, just to fall right back into despair.
It was simply too much for the man.
As for Rias, she could only sigh. It was a shame she could not add the nun to her Peerage, but she can at least get the Sacred Gear and get its power anyway.

She needed any help she could get if she was to win in the approaching rating game between her and Riser, the ability to heal would be very useful for it.
Rias saw that Koneko was now resting her back against a nearly destroyed pillar on the side of the church, she was quite wounded from this fight since she had to fight all the exorcists and Freed basically alone while protecting Issei since the Pawn was unable to do much of anything right now and any stray exorcist could have killed him easily enough if she did not protect him.
