Chapter 101: You have lost yourself
Back in her previous spot, Raynare couldn't help but curse.
She wasn't stupid, as all of this was obviously the work of the holy knight who had kept her spinning in circles and unable to get out.
"Then go die," she screamed.
Now that she knew she couldn't escape, Raynare gave up all hope of getting away.
Seeing Issei paralyzed on the ground due to the overuse of boosted gear, anger and coldness crossed her eyes.
She hurled a newly light spear directly at Issei.
Issei was exhausted.
Facing the light spear that was getting closer to him, he had no power to fight back.
He couldn't even dodge it, let alone shatter it like before.
Just the slightest movement made Issei feel his muscles tearing with pain.
But...
"You actually intervened to save a devil."
"If the church found out about this, they would excommunicate you and turn you into a stray exorcist like them." Raynare said disdainfully.
Meanwhile, the high class stray exorcist imprisoned on the ground looked at Raynare as if she were already dead.
How dare she speak to the saint like that?
Was she asking for death or was she just hopelessly ignorant?
"Raynare, you have become like this now, is this really what you wanted?" Gabriel who had been silent all along finally spoke.
The spell that had been meant to lower her presence faded the moment she spoke, and her appearance was fully revealed to Raynare.
With a flawless face and figure and twelve wings unfolding from her back, she was the true symbol of the heaven.
"Lady Gabriel," Raynare muttered in shock.
Whether it was Raynare, the other fallen angels or the stray exorcists, seeing Gabriel appear so openly before them filled their hearts with fear and disbelief.
In this remote town, encountering a holy knight was already an astonishment to them.
Now, even Gabriel had appeared here.
What surprised them most was that Gabriel was staying with a reincarnated devil.
It seemed that she was actually on his side.
Could it be that angels and devils, without their knowledge had reached a pact of peaceful coexistence?
Otherwise, how could all this be explained?
Even though Gabriel was renowned throughout the three factions for her gentleness, kindness and beauty, it didn't mean she stood with devils.
Now that Gabriel had revealed her true identity, they certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to question her in the same way they questioned Yasuhiro.
Their faith was undoubtedly the purest.
Even if a cataclysmic disaster were to occur, the four seraphs wouldn't betray heaven.
This was a universally acknowledged fact.
Not only were they surprised but Issei who was collapsed on the ground, looked at the twelve white wings behind Gabriel with an even more expression.
Even a rookie like him, who had just been reincarnated as a devil, knew clearly that the name of Gabriel was a symbol heaven.
As a devil, Issei didn't know whether to feel honored or mourn for himself after encountering his natural enemy.
"Lady Gabriel, I..."
Raynare felt panicked, wanting to refute Gabriel but found that all her words were stuck in her throat.
Gabriel was the person Raynare feared facing the most.
Just like her love for Azazel, the female angels in heaven all admired and respected Gabriel.
Even though Raynare had fallen from grace, she still couldn't forget these feelings that were firmly etched in her heart.
"You have lost yourself, your hands are stained with the blood of too many innocent people," Gabriel noted.
The disgusting aura surrounding Raynare made Gabriel able to roughly guess what she had done in the human world.
"Come back to the church with me and face judgment."
Gabriel spoke with an irresistible tone displaying a hint of strict authority she didn't usually show.
"No, I don't want to go," Raynare pleaded.
She shook her head wildly in fear.
If she were taken back to the church to be judged, given her sins, she couldn't think of any other outcome but to be executed.
