Chapter 7 - chapter 7. Sighing he and Raynare

Dohnaseek just gritted his teeth as he realized the kid was right, they couldn't afford for the Devils of this city to catch them here.

Sighing he and Raynare nodded to each other before the both split up and each began throwing spears from different angles.

"Damn it!" growled Issei as the sheer volume of spears being thrown began to overwhelm him, cuts and scratches beginning to appear along his body.

Finally there was a lull in the spear barrage as both Fallen Angels stopped to recover their energy and stared down in shock at Issei who was panting heavily but still alive and kicking.

Sighing as he realized that he would need to use his ace, Issei grasped his lance in two hands and got into his stance, focusing on the more experienced Dohnaseek.

Instantly the bloodlust around them increased tenfold as the tip of Issei's lance began to glow a blood red, begging to be unleashed upon his enemies.

Not removing his gaze from Dohnaseek's eyes Issei thrust his lance forward as he activated the Noble Phantasm, making recognition and fear appear in the eyes of the two Fallen Angels.

"GAE BOLG!" called Issei as his lance turned into a red beam that began heading straight towards Dohnaseek.

The Fallen Angel quickly dived behind the stone fountain only for the red beam to live up to its name and change direction at an impossible angle before piecing his heart.

The name had been called and so the reversal of the nature of causality activated. Instead of the heart being pierced by the thrust of the lance it became;

the heart has been pierced so the lance must have been thrust. Meaning that the spear cannot be thrust without the heart first being pierced as Dohnaseek had just found out.

Raynare just watched as the lance pierced her companion's heart before he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, the expression of shock still on his face.

Gae Bolg then transformed back into a red beam before returning to Issei's hand and turning back into a lance as the teen grinned up at her.

"Impossible! Only Cú Chulainn himself can use that weapon! Don't tell me you're one of his descendants! I didn't think he had any left!" exclaimed the shocked Raynare.

"Maybe I am and maybe I'm not. The question now is shall we continue this or do you want to call it here?" bluffed Issei with a confident grin as he tried to hide his exhaustion.

Raynare pondered for a minute as she looked between Issei and her dead companion, eyes widening as Issei's image was briefly replaced by a blue clad man eyeing her with an eager smile,

before she turned began flying away as fast as possible to get out of the Gae Bolg's range.

After she left Issei collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and he began panting heavily as Gae Bolg glowed before turning back into the Lancer card.

"See I knew you could do it," cheered a male voice from a nearby park bench.

It was a good thing that Gae Bolg had already vanished as he probably would have stabbed the bastard right then and there.

The Occult Research Clubroom was quiet as they all prepared for the summoning that didn't happen, as the silence continued until Kiba was the first to speak up, "Buchou I don't think it's happening."

"Damn it he was supposed to summon me so why didn't he!?" cried a distraught Rias.

"Buchou what's done is done and we can't change that, we just need to deal with it," replied Akeno.

Rias sighed but nodded, "inform Sona about what happened and to make the proper arrangements.

Also let her know that I'm done letting these Fallen Angels think they've outsmarted us, from now on if we see them then attack on sight. They will pay dearly for this."

"Understood shall I send out the familiars to search for them?" asked her Queen.

"No that will just alert them that we are aware of their presence, for now stick to your normal activities but if you see one of them, eliminate them," she ordered, making Akeno grin eagerly.

"Ara, Ara, I really hope I see one, I could do with a stress reliever after the death of one of dear little kohai," she muttered as lightning crackled around her fingertips.

Koneko just nodded silently in agreement while Kiba had an angered expression on his face as he summoned one of his swords,

imagining it cutting off the crow wings of those murderers. The group shared a moment of silence for the departed student before Kiba eventually spoke up.

"I feel sorry for Issei's father, to lose both his wife and now his son. That must be devastating," he mused.

Rias was silent as she stared down at the table before she sighed and stood up, "I'm going to go inform his father about what happened."

"Buchou are you sure that's a good idea? With those Fallen Angels still around who knows what they're planning next," argued Kiba in concern.

"It's my fault this happened Yuuto, if I had just asked if he would be a member of my peerage none of this would have happened.

I need to be the one that informs his father," explained Rias as she headed for the door.

"Then let one of us accompany you, as your Knight I heavily advise against this," he replied, getting nods from the others.

"I appreciate the concern but this is something I must do alone if I want to learn from it. Let me know if anything comes up,

I have some bad news to deliver," sighed the president as she closed the door and left the building.

"Where the hell have you been?!" shouted Issei while Zelretch just sat back in his park chair and relaxed.

"I've been to many places boy. Although the exact number not even I know anymore but my last count was around 7 billion," replied the magician with a grin as he got up and gestured for Issei to follow.
