"We can deal with that later. Let's just make sure that guy is dead so that we can collect the sword and take on Kokabiel." No sooner Sona said that, one section of the already broken wall got sliced in half, revealing a fallen exorcist with a pissed-off smile.
...
"Okay~ I did not expect that. I definitely should thank you girls for that." Creed seed to be seething with anger and the words coming out of his mouth were making their spines shiver at the amount of venom present in it. A quick glow from the sword and Creed was now holding a weapon that seed to be an unholy fusion of a mace and a scimitar. "Let return the favor to you in full!" He swung hard at the ground, causing fissures to appear on the ground before small bolts of light shot out and sprayed all over the area.
"Hit the deck!" Tsubasa grabbed a couple of the ruined tables and threw them to make a temporary barrier from the shots. They rely disintegrated on contact, leaving them wide open to the shots, causing a few them to yell out in pain as the shots hit their bodies, leaving open wounds that were smoking from the holy aura.
"Tsubasa! Hanakai! Tsubaki!" Sona yelled out in a fair amount of panic as she watched them fall to the ground with blood flowing from their wounds. "Hang on!" She summoned a huge wall of water that separated them from the rogue exorcist before making her way to them.
"How are they?" Griselda ca forward as the others stood before their king to guard against the exorcist.
"They got hit with a huge dose of that Holy energy. It is poisoning them from the inside out!" Sona tried to use her healing arts with little success. "Darn it, it is not working fast enough!"
"Calm yourself, heiress." Griselda held out her hand and checked their wounds. "Right now they are still within normal levels. Just get them out of the room and away from the sword. The closer they are to it, the more potent the effects."
"Okay then, let's get them out of here!" guri, Reya and Ruruko each grabbed one of them and started to drag them quickly out of the science room just as rays of lights started to pierce through the wall of water.
"Heiress, I believe we would need to buy your companions so ti." Griselda looked at the obstacle while readying her weapon.
"No problem." Sona's eyes seed to turn to slits as wings appeared behind her. "I intend to do more than make ti for them." Without a mont's hesitation, she conjured up a large amount of water above her and shaped them into drills just as the wall collapsed to reveal a very angry Creed.
"Okay, seriously. NOT. COOL." Creed grabbed the handle with both hands and slamd it to the ground to release a beam of light at them. Sona wasted no ti to send the water projectiles at him, ensuring his attack could not get the retreating devils behind her.
"Keep it up!" Griselda took out her own firearm and shot a few tis at Creed, who was forced to take cover behind so of the wreckage. Snarling, Creed changed his weapon into the whip form and tried to extend its reach, but the shots by the senior exorcist and the water projectiles from the devil made that impotent.
"ARGGHH! Cut it out you damn wretches!" Creed changed the shards into a halberd and stabbed the tip into the ground, causing the ground to fracture and literal streams of light flowing out of the cracks and spreading.
"Heiress, get out of there!" Griselda grabbed Sona by the collar and threw her to the wall in ti just as the water touched the feet of the Elder Exorcist. A quick flash of light and the woman was sent flying over so of the desk and into one of the cabinets, knocking her unconscious.
"Griselda-san!" Sona tried to get to her feet, only to be roughly pushed to the ground by Creed who used his body to straddle her while pinning her arms above her head with a talisman.
"You my dear are a very persistent bitch you know that?" Creed grabbed the handle of the sword and pulled sideways, making the sword split down the middle to form two thinner versions. Taking the one on his right, he stabbed it into the ground before it glowed and ford a web-like barrier around them, stopping the other devils who had just returned from approaching them.
"I will have a lot of fun killing you." Creed raised the other sword above her head with the point aid right for her head. "And at the very least, I should be able to have an audience with those Maous if I do so." Sona could almost see her reflection on the sword as tears threatened to leak out of her eyes. Was she really going to die in this manner?
'Sobody, anybody! Help !'
A face of a certain boy appeared in front of her with a gentle smile on his face…
'EMIYA-KUN!'
"BANG!"
Like an answer to her prayers, a loud gunshot rang through the open area as the barrier shattered into pieces and Creed's sword got diverted from the bullet hitting it, the point missing Sona's head by inches and stabbing the ground next to her, parting bits of her hair but leaving her very much alive. Sona barely registered that and just laid still while heaving heavily.
Did Shirou do that?
"… So is that how it is?" Creed started to shake with a disturbing expression of glee and rage that made Sona cringe as she attempted to move away from him. "Does this an you decided to fight for that wizard and these wretches, or is it you are the lapdog for the pope all this ti, huh?!" Creed made a big turn to face the intruder that was at the other side of the building. "Answer , Lyle!"
At that yell, the intruder lowered his weapon and directed cold eyes at his forr partner before opening his mouth, the silence seemingly carrying his words to them.
"Ti to hunt down a heretic."
...
'Are you sure you can do this?' I asked as I looked at the injured exorcist before .
'I am most familiar with his fighting style and behavior, so I should be able to take him on. Besides, I have been aning to do this for a very long ti.' He got up from the ground he was on and wiped away so of the blood and soot.
'But why?'
He turned to and looked in the eye. 'I have gotten my answer from you. This is my repaynt to you.'
I shook my head lightly as I made my way to the courtyard where the mayhem was going on. Honestly I could not fathom what was going through his head, but at least I was able to get to him without much bloodshed and as a bonus he was willing to help out. I was a bit unsure of his reasons, but if he was willing to help look after the Student Council mbers, that was fine by . I lightly hopped onto the roof and surveyed the situation.
Man that place had seen better days.
The courtyard was getting gutted from all the explosions and attacks that the others were dishing out at Galilei and the mind-controlled Kiba, not to ntioned the knight's own contribution to the ss. I ignored the destruction and focused on the knight briefly, noting the contraption that was stuck to his body. It was sowhat disturbing in appearance yet I felt nothing. Guess I got immunity to body modifications after so many of my own missions.
Shaking that depressing thought out of my head, I refocus my attention the one part that seed to be the cause for his actions: the odd contraption that looked like an oversized spider with small legs embedded deeply into the back of his neck. It was weird seeing it with my 'Tracing', the nauseating feeling that ca from sothing that was clearly not a live and yet had a heartbeat.
No matter, that part should be handled by Ise and the others, provided he did not lose the knife. I should deal with this Kokabiel fellow and…
"You seem to enjoy scurrying around like a rat for a human."
"!"
I barely had the ti to roll away when a spear of light exploded the spot I was at, the force pushing further than I needed to and sending crashing into the wall. Grunting, I got to my feet and face the being in front of while lightly reinforcing my eyes to check his strength.
'Oh you have got to be kidding .'
This guy had enough Prana to possibly compete with Lancer and judging from what I have heard about this guy, he could potentially be summoned as a Berserker and from the looks of it, I was going to need a lot of my Prana to deal with him.
Bumr.
"Hmm, you are a lot shorter than what I was told." My thoughts got broken and I looked at the fallen angel who looked at while raising an eyebrow.
"And you are an even bigger jerk than what people told ." I grumbled as I projected a fresh set of swords into my hands. That seed to have surprised the Fallen Angel that soone actually talked back at him as his other eyebrow got raised before he gave a rather scary sneer.
"Cheeky brat, aren't you?"
"BOOM!"
… Okay, note to self. Mouthing off at a higher being was not a good idea, leave it to the magus that was living in Chicago. What was his na again? Harry Blackstone? Harry Copperfield?
Forget it, now I got to stay away from all the shots that angel was firing at .
