Although Asia used to belong to the church and had been exposed to supernaturals and even possessed her own Sacred Gear, she never learned anything about magic or holy power. Her only role had been to heal others and pray to God.
When, through a freak coincidence, she obtained the Incinerate Anthem, she could train with it only in secret. Even then, she barely practiced, since she could not allow herself to be exposed.
Because of all these factors, even now, Asia knew nothing about magic. She did not even know teleportation magic, so when she wanted to return to Yusuke's house, she had to do it the old-fashioned way, riding a train and taking a taxi.
However, although she did not know much about magic, her Incinerate Anthem was far more destructive than most spells. The purple flames burst from her, scorching the doorframe and racing across the walls. Her green eyes glowed with an ominous light as the sight before her drove her mind into a storm of unending fury.
The sight of Yusuke lying powerless on the floor sent a violent tremor through her chest. One woman was riding his hand, while another was doing something even more unforgivable. She was raping him. As if that were not enough, a third woman lay sprawled across the sofa, her legs parted, her exposed lower body smeared and dripping with white fluid.
Asia had lived in Yusuke's house for months.
She did not need a second thought to understand exactly what had happened!
These three women had defiled her Yusuke, her God!
BOOMM!
A column of flame erupted from her, blasting through the ceiling and tearing open a second hole above. Tongues of purple fire coiled around her body as she stepped inside, mumbling, "Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Die! You filthy Devil sluts!"
With a violent thrust of both hands that laid bare her absolute fury, the purple Holy Flame surrounding her surged forward in a roaring wave toward Ravel and Isabella, who were still mounting Yusuke's body.
"Ravel!"
Shocked and frightened by the sudden intrusion of the blond human and her open hostility, Eleonora barely had time to react when she saw the attack shooting toward her daughter. Her expression twisted as she lunged forward without hesitation, rushing to shield Ravel from the incoming flames.
Those flames were Holy Fire. If a weak Devil like Ravel or Isabella were touched by them, even for a moment, they would likely die. Holy Fire was a poison, the natural bane of all Devils, even the stronger ones. Back then, Akeno had nearly died after being struck by it. If Yusuke had not intervened, she would not have survived.
Ravel might possess her clan's Immortality, but that ability would mean nothing if she were hit by even a drop of holy water, much less Holy Fire born from the Holy Cross.
A sudden gust of wind detonated beneath Eleonora's feet, launching her upward with astonishing speed. The force lifted her whole body in a blink, driving her straight toward the others like a missile wrapped in a storm.
She did not hesitate.
Her right hand shot out and grabbed Ravel by the collar of her dress. At the same time, her left leg snapped forward in a fierce kick that slammed into Isabella's chest. The blow hurled the other woman backward through the air, her limbs flailing, until she smashed hard against the far wall with a heavy thud.
Isabella slid down the wall, gasping, still stunned, her body twitching faintly as the climax had not fully faded yet.
Eleonora's free hand dropped and clamped around Yusuke's ankle. She twisted mid-air, using the surging wind to pivot sharply to the side. The raging gust carried them in a wide, whipping arc, pulling them away from the center of the room and beyond the reach of the purple flames.
The Stolas House has authority over birds. They could command and tame them with ease, without her avian familiars nearby; however, Eleonora could not fully exercise that ability. Even so, the Phenex House and the Stolas House shared a similar magical affinity. Both houses held exceptional control over flame and wind.
Earlier, she relied on her wind magic to accelerate her movement, using a concentrated gust to close the distance in an instant and pull everyone out of danger.
"Egh!" Isabella clutched her chest and coughed before forcing herself to stand. Her lower body remained completely exposed, her legs trembling as thin trails of love juice slid down her thighs. She turned toward Asia and glared at her with blazing, furious eyes, her face contorted with rage.
She had suffered for so long just for a single chance to be close to Yusuke. She endured Eleonora's countless attempts to suppress her. She tried to escape many times and failed, and in the end, she had bowed her head simply for the sake of seeing Yusuke again.
Now that she had finally been close to him, touching him, even taking him inside her, this blond bitch had destroyed her precious moment!
"Mother!" Ravel landed lightly on her feet as soon as her mother set her down. She looked up at Eleonora, then turned her gaze back to the blond nun.
The nun faced them with a cold expression. The look in her eyes was as if she stood before the people who had massacred her clan, raped her, and thrown her into the wild to be devoured by beasts.
"I will deal with her; you keep Yusuke safe," Eleonora said as she pushed Ravel back and stepped forward. She shot a glance at Isabella and added, "Be careful. She is the owner of the Incinerate Anthem."
Aika, Murayama, and the others had already informed everyone, including Eleonora, about Asia's ability. Although she had never met Asia before, she could easily recognize one of the thirteen Longinus when she saw it.
"You all deserve to die! Burn to ashes and go to hell!" Asia's whispered darkly. She thrust both hands high above her head. Purple flames erupted from her palms, twisting and coiling until they formed the towering silhouette of a faceless, muscular man.
The fiery figure roared silently as it surged forward, aimed straight at Eleonora. Intense heat rolled off it in waves, igniting what remained of the furniture and licking hungrily across the walls.
'This stupid slut! Why does Yusuke always attract crazy women?!' Eleonora clicked her tongue inwardly. She was still completely naked, her skin smeared with her own fluids and Yusuke's spunk, but she did not have the luxury to think about covering herself at this moment. She wrapped herself in wind once more and darted forward in sharp zigzagging movements.
As she moved, her large, round breasts bounced heavily with each sudden change of direction, swaying and slapping against her chest. Her long blond hair whipped freely behind her.
The purple flame man lunged, its massive arms sweeping in wide arcs. Heat scorched the air where she had been a fraction of a second earlier. Eleonora twisted mid-flight, the wind dragging her sideways just as the blazing fist slammed into the floor. Stone cracked and melted beneath the impact.
Bang! Bang!
The fire man kept throwing punch after punch at Eleonora, but each strike failed to land. She bent and turned her body at the last possible moment, barely avoiding direct contact. Even so, the heat sometimes grazed her skin, leaving red burns. The house was large, but far too narrow for a fight of this scale.
While weaving through the assault, she could not help rolling her eyes at the flaming figure that bore a ridiculous resemblance to Yusuke.
As expected of a crazy bitch.
Eleonora assessed the situation in an instant. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Isabella inching closer to Asia.
Based on what she had learned from the other girls and her own quick judgment, Eleonora reached a clear conclusion. Aside from her Sacred Gear, Asia was extremely weak. She lacked combat experience, her control was sloppy, and her attacks were crude, effective only against those far beneath her.
As long as Eleonora could close the distance, she could end this quickly.
Asia had almost no real combat experience beyond tormenting stray Devils and other low-class supernaturals. All her focus locked onto Eleonora, pouring every ounce of hatred in that single direction. She did not notice Isabella creeping closer.
She was far too inexperienced and far too enraged. Her fury narrowed her vision until only one target existed, blinding her to everything else around her.
Isabella clenched her hands, bending forward as she advanced step by careful step toward Asia. Even so, the heat and stray strands of Holy Fire that burst out again and again nearly brushed against her. More than once, she had to halt, twist aside, or take a detour to avoid being touched, each delay slowing her approach.
After a few more cautious steps, she felt she had reached the right distance. She drew strength into her legs, muscles coiling tight, ready to explode forward, tackle the crazy blond nun, and end this.
However, before she could move, her eyes suddenly widened, and she froze in place. It was not only her. Eleonora and Asia also came to an abrupt stop, their gazes locking onto the figure that had appeared out of nowhere in front of Asia.
It was Yusuke.
His naked figure stood calmly before her. He paid no attention to the raging purple flames, as if they were nothing more than warm air, and lifted one hand to gently pat Asia's head.
"Yu-Yusuke sama!"
Light slowly returned to Asia's eyes, her lips parting as she stared up at him in disbelief, tears welling at once. Her voice trembled as she called out his name. She lifted a shaking hand, reaching toward him as though he might disappear if she moved too quickly.
Realizing he was naked, she hesitated, her fingers hovering for a breath before she gently placed her palms against his chest, as though even the slightest touch might defile him.
