Strongest in DxD - Chapter 44 (Patreon)

Ren in one swift move punched the trapdoor destroying him as he started down the stairs being followed by his servant Lancer.

Both advanced through the corridors while heading towards their destination, but before arriving they stopped when they noticed something.

A little further ahead of them there was a teenager tied to a wooden cross, his hair and eyes were brown, in fact it would be an eye because one of him had been torn off.

Several extremely deep cuts were all over his body showing flesh and muscle that seemed to rot, his fingers were torn off.

In short, he was on the verge of death and a painful one for sure.

Ren recognized who he was, it was Issei Hyoudou.

Curious, Ren activated his [Sharingan] and saw the boy's memories.

Issei had been reincarnated as a demon by Rias, but he didn't know that as Rias ended up fighting Ren and could never warn him.

Then one night a Fallen Angel came up to him and talked about him being a "lost devil" and attacked him.

When Issei woke up he was trapped on the cross and being tortured continuously for days as the Fallen Angels were bored.

"He's almost dead already," said Scathach, looking at the boy's state without caring.

"Help me…" his voice came out in a whisper.

Ren and Scathach looked slightly surprised.

"Should we help him?" asked Scathach.

But before she looked at Ren, a beam of dark energy shot out killing Issei Hyoudou instantly.

Turning her gaze back to her Scathach saw that Ren had his hand outstretched and done that.

The SlashDog just kept walking while Scathach sighed and followed him, it wasn't like she cared about that boy's life, she just wanted to know if her master would show mercy and help him.

Which he didn't, although it didn't bother her.

Both master and servant continued to walk through the corridors as they made their way towards the end of the corridor.

It wasn't long before they saw a light at the end of my path, indicating they had reached their destination.

And when they came into existence, they saw four people.

The first was a woman with beautiful silky long black hair and her eyes were a violet hue that had a dark and evil look, her clothes consisted of objects resembling black straps (looking like leather) around and under her breasts, one piece like a strap attached to her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran up her arms with short lengths of chains hanging from them, bodyguard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black leather boots. high heels.

It was Raynare a Lower-class Fallen Angel and responsible for the supposed "death" of Issei Hyoudou and a servant of Kokabiel.

In the case, she had been given the mission to kill Issei from Star-Lord Kokabiel who was wearing a disguise to look like Azazel.

"Who are you?"

The short, cautious question came from a felt hat and a man wearing an overcoat. He has an elegant look and a nice European facial structure. Brad Pit, you would feel ashamed when compared to that mere cannon fodder.

Dohnaseek. The only male fallen angel in Raynare's group.

Before Ren or Scathach could answer the last two people turned.

The first was a tall woman with straight hair and bright blue. She wore a tight suit, the color of blood red, accentuating her breasts, slim and slender waist and wide, magnificent hips. Her short skirts allow me to see her pair of full, supple thighs. His narrow golden eyes regarded me warily. Amazingly, this woman has an oriental look for a fallen angel.

She was Kalawarner - another member of Raynare's group.

The last silhouette belonged to a cute little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, accentuating her European facial structure. Her untamed hair was tied back in two ends with a black ribbon with white ruffles. She wore a gothic Lolita dress, different from Ophis' provocative gothic Lolita dress. Her dress gave her the air of a cute daughter of a noble family. Her delicate but sharp facial structure sent out a tsundere vibration.

She was Milttet - the only Loli in Raynare's group.

"Answer humans," Raynare shouted as everyone summoned spears of light into her hand.

"Scathach can you handle this?" asked Ren with his hands in his pockets.

The Immortal Witch smiled as she took the lead, the Fallen Angels prepared to attack but stopped when they saw what the woman had done.

Scathach didn't even summon his spear, she simply reached forward and swiped it through the air.

In front of the Immortal Witch several runes appeared, they were red as a blazing fire, held in the air as if they were held up by invisible ropes.

The runes designed by Scathach were "Ansuz" the Rune of Fire and Heat.

In an instant their power came to life, their effect defined by their meaning as the runes glowed a fiery red.

Each rune gained its power manifested from its meaning, the once harmless runes turned into immense balls of fire that rushed against the Fallen Angels.

In a futile attempt they tried to throw their spears of light only to see the flames incinerate them without any problem while hitting the supernatural beings.

An immense and intense dome of fire appeared encompassing the bodies of the four Fallen Angels generating a sphere of intense heat.

The floor melted from the intense heat, the metal twisted as it deformed under the heat, and the whole room became extremely hot for a brief moment.

When the sphere of flames disappeared it was possible to see that much of the environment had been completely burned by the flames and all that was left of the Fallen Angels were their burned bodies.

Scathach watched in boredom as he turned to his master.

"That was the problem you had to lead?" asked Scathach in an incredulous tone.

Ren chuckled: "They weren't a problem, my business is with their boss," Ren said.

"Their boss?" asked Scathach curiously.

Ren nodded, even though Raynare was Azazel fanatic she was working with Kokabiel, in case Kokabiel had passed on that mission to her posing as Azazel.

But it wasn't like Azazel hadn't been involved either.

"Tell me Scathach, if you had assigned a job to your subordinates, an important job, but they suddenly stopped sending reports or information, what would you do?" Ren asked calmly.

The smile on Scathach's face spread as she realized her master's true intent.

"I'd come check it out," Scathach replied with an amused smile and receiving a nod from Ren.

"Good, but not to have been just that, I think I'll show you something cool," Ren said calmly receiving a curious look from the Immortal Witch.
