DxD: The Holy Knight! Chapter 39 39: Freed

"Attention everyone, there are enemies ahead."

Tsubaki, who only possessed the strength of a middle class, didn't have such a wide range of perception, she was secretly inford by Sona.

"Tomoe, you need to deal with this stray first."

After another round of attacks, the demonic spider lying on the ground was now on its last legs, just waiting for soone to deliver the final blow.

Tomoe swiftly plunged her katana into the forehead of the stray. The shinto symbols on the blade shined brightly, extinguishing the last vestiges of life from the beast.

"Wasn't it said that there was only this one stray devil?"

"Damn it," Ruruko said. "My demonic power was already scarce, and after the battle just now, it's almost gone. Even my stamina is depleted. If there are more enemies, I'm afraid I'll have trouble even protecting myself."

"What! A middle class stray, and a stray exorcist of similar strength!"

Tsubaki relayed the ssage Sona had just given her, imdiately eliciting gasps of surprise from the others.

"Alright, now isn't the ti to think about that. Prepare for the battle ahead. Asia, please heal Tsubasa and the others."

In terms of the severity of their injuries, Tsubasa had suffered the most.

CRASH.

A stray devil broke in through the window.

"Filthy devils, holding a feast here?"

Soon with an manic voice, a white haired exorcist appeared before the girls.

"Hehe, I'm not playing hide and seek with you anymore. After playing for so long, I've fished out quite a few lousy devils."

Freed wielded swords imbued with the power of light, which relentlessly burned the stray he had chased in.

Such a cruel scene caused Ruruko and the others to tremble.

Then...

An arrow made of demonic power struck the head of the tornted stray, taking her tragic life. In her final monts, she looked at Tsubaki with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"It's full of kind hearted devils here, makes wanna vomit."

Freed pulled his swords from the stray's body and disgustingly licked the blood off them with his tongue.

"Asia?!" Freed looked at Asia, who was standing behind Tsubaki, with surprise.

"Aren't you the holy maiden? You have actually stooped so low as to mingle with devils."

A distorted glint appeared in Freed's eyes.

"Everyone be careful, he used to be Yasuhiro's subordinate," Asia gave a careful warning.

The others were startled, their gazes toward Freed filling with unprecedented vigilance. They had personally experienced Yasuhiro's power, and the fact that this freakish exorcist used to be his subordinate suggested he was probably even more formidable than they had imagined.

"Just imagining his expression after I kill you all here makes incredibly excited."

It could be said that Yasuhiro was a shadow in the hearts of many exorcists and devils in Europe.

For Freed, Yasuhiro was a terrifying obsession, a nightmare constantly harassing him in his sleep.

In the European exorcist community, Yasuhiro was a well known madman.

The sheer number of devils, fallen angels, and dark creatures that guy had killed filled Freed with fear. Especially when hunting Devils, Yasuhiro's ruthless eyes made Freed tremble in fear.

When facing that guy, Freed didn't even have the courage to stand up, let alone be his enemy.

A large part of the reason he had betrayed the church was just to stay far away from him.

The fact that even such a crazed exorcist would avoid Yasuhiro at all costs showed just how terrifying an impression he had left on certain people.

Freed ignored the others and stared at Asia.

"Don't worry, you'll be my most art."

Freed continued his terrifying pronouncents, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by attacks from the girls.

"You filthy devils are so rude."

Having said that, Freed raised his swords and slashed at the nearest devil, Tsubasa.

How could Tsubasa possibly contend with swords imbued with holy power using her bare hands? She was about to retreat but Freed seed unwilling to let her go so easily.

Freed completely ignored the attacks coming at him from the left and right, opting to strike Tsubasa directly.

The power of light eroded Tsubasa's body.

The pain was so intense that, had it not been for Yasuhiro's training, she might have cried out in agony.

Tsubasa was completely incapacitated.

Tsubaki quickly protected her behind her back so that Asia could administer treatnt.

"That really hurts." Freed rubbed the area where he had been attacked, wincing in mock pain.

"Let's continue." Freed raised his swords once again. His fighting style made it difficult for the girls withstand.

His attacks could only be described as chaotic, yet they consistently hit vital points.

Most importantly, so of his attacks were suicidal, trading injury for injury, even risking being slashed just to attack them.

The girls were already at a disadvantage. In no ti, Ruruko, who had low demonic power left, was seriously injured and forced to retreat from the front lines.

Even with Asia's healing, she probably wouldn't be able to rejoin the battle anyti soon.

...

"Are all your subordinates this crazy?"

Sona looked at the battlefield with worry in her eyes. If Yasuhiro hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have rushed into the fray long ago.

"He is an exception."
