CxC Chapter 17: Mission Start
🕑 Added 2025-01-04 19:52:55 +0000 UTC~Yuta Yukimura~
I sighed and immediately slotted in regeneration and Iron Manipulation the moment the sky changed colours, I was in the middle of a street, and I was surrounded by iron-based objects, anyone facing me would be at a disadvantage.
Spinning on my heel I turned to face the noise of wings flapping to see an attractive fallen angel hovering ominously in the air with her crow-like wings spread, she was a busty older woman wearing a rouge business suit that showed a lot of cleavage. I could even see her panties from down here, which were purple.
But that did little to distract my thoughts from the solid spear of light formed in her hand that screamed danger to me. And, predictably, she reared her arm back and shot the spear toward me like a javelin, aiming for my thigh.
Crack!
I jumped back lightly, the spear wasn't too fast, I was able to dodge it rather handily. My thoughts raced.
My eyes darted around as I evaluated her threat, Light Spear, trademark of the Fallen Angels. Strength? Weak, I could probably do better with an uncommon ability, even as a devil I would be able to survive a spear or two. Not fast enough to catch me easily either.
I lifted my head to face the busty fallen that was floating above me, the spear she just threw might have just been to observe my reaction or a warning shot, I should finish this as quickly and efficiently as possible to not give her any chances in any case, first, distract her.
"So, Miss Fallen Angel, why are you doing this? Do you really want to make an enemy out of the Gremory like this? I don't remember doing anything to draw your ire."
While I addressed her my real attention was actually on the stop sign on the ground that I had quietly ripped out of the ground that she didn't notice as she scowled with a rather fierce expression.
"Do you think we are afraid of the Gremory? We are fallen angels. Now, reveal where you are hiding Asia Argento! I know you have her servant of Gremory! Freed told me all about it." The woman pointed another spear at me and it was as if a switch had been flipped for me.
They were looking for Asia? That changed things completely. This was very personal now. Very, very personal.
"Why are you looking for her?" I tried my best to act, but my voice leaked out colder than I had intended as the woman sneered, poising her spear ready to strike once again.
"So you do know where she is, no matter, I will make you talk myself!" But before she threw her spear again my stop sign had sneakily floated behind her, and with a clench of my fist the stop sign swung full force into the back of her head.
-Bonk!
Crash!
There was a loud thud sound as the stop sign slammed into the back of her head with enough force to turn the head of any human to fine pink mist, her head yanked forward like she was stuck in a car crash as she was batted to the ground by the stop sign, crashing into it heavily without being able to guard herself.
A concussion at least.
But I didn't let it go easily. Supernaturals were rather hardy, I would know.
"Urgh!" She tried to push herself off the ground but before she could the stop sign returned.
Clang!
-And batted the back of her head again, cracking the asphalt with her forehead and deforming the head of the stop sign. I bent the stop sign like a metal snake with my iron control, the metal bar wrapped around her neck, choking her, I lifted her up by the neck like a certain Sith, dragging her over to me by the metal around her neck, her hands gripped her restraint trying to break it but iron was more durable when I controlled it thanks to my magical power.
"You struggle a lot." Her face twisted in rage, and before she could retaliate I ripped out the iron fence from the house next to us, it hit her in the back, making her stumble before the fence bent and twisted like ropes under my command, the segments covering her body, restraining her arms and legs in a style that had become like turtle shell bondage without my thinking of it. Now that the fallen angel was completely restrained, she struggled but even with her fallen angel strength, there was nowhere enough leverage for her to budge her restraints.
"Grrh! Release me, you filthy devil!" She wriggled, trying to get herself loose to no avail while I brought her over, leaving less than a meter of distance between us.
"Why do you need to find Asia and what do you want her for?" I asked again while tightening the restrains just a little for the threat. She scoffed in my face.
"Why should I listen to anything you sa-" I gave her a reason.
Crack!
"Grah! Wh-what!?" Fear crept into her face as her elbow was bent the wrong way by the iron rods, I gripped her chin and forced her to keep eye contact with me.
"Why do you need to find Asia and what do you want her for?"
"You coward- argh!" I could see tears form in the side of her eyes as her other elbow broke too. I closed my hand a little, closing the neck brace enough to make it very difficult for her to breathe.
"I will say this bluntly, I keep breaking your bones until you tell me what you want, next I am moving onto the fingers, if you refuse till the bitter end, the last bone I break will be your neck." I stared into her eyes, there was barely a centimetre between us, I could feel her scared breath on my face.
"You can keep suffering needlessly or just tell me what I want, hell, if you talk right now I promise I will spare you, the choice is yours." I gripped her index finger roughly as she sweated profusely, fear clear as day on her face. Her lips trembled.
"A-Alright I-I'll talk." She struggled to get the words out from the metal choking her, I let it slack just a bit. Thankfully, the facade of a proud fallen angel crumbled quickly in the face of a promise of extreme violence.
I was thankful for that, I didn't particularly enjoy torturing random people.

I sat on Kalawarner's, apparently that was her as I found out after my interrogation, unconscious body I had bludgeoned the back of her head into unconsciousness with the stop sign after hearing what she had to say. And what I heard wasn't pretty.
These bastards. They only fueled my desire to kill them.
They had taken in Asia not even to make use of her healing abilities or being potentially adept at magic, I could understand that and that reason would make me less mad, she would have just been a part of their little group.
But no.
Those fucking crows had brought her to sacrifice her to their head honcho, Raynare, so that she could sacrifice Asia in a ritual to take her sacred gear for herself. They never cared about Asia in the first place, she was never anything more than a loot chest for them.
This just affirmed it for me, death sentence, no pleas or appeals.
I needed to strike them today. They knew Kalarwarner was out, and they would go on high alert if she did not return today.
And I wasn't taking the chance of letting her go back to them, so today was execution day. Besides, this was an opportunity, I knew about them and they didn't expect me.
Kalawarner was weak, and according to her Raynare wasn't too much stronger. I didn't know if that was her pride speaking but it shouldn't be far from the truth. The rest of the stray priests and exorcists in the basement could be a problem but the important fact stood right now.
They were preparing for a ceremony, they were ripe for an ambush.

Those rewards certainly look juicy, I don't know about that Arc 1 modifier but I was going to ram them hard regardless, I was just being given even better motivation.
Now then... I certainly have some ideas on how to handle this infestation.
But first, I need to make a call.
I fished out my cellphone and dialled Rias' number, no use in keeping her in the dark, after three rings she picked up.
< "Yuta-kun? What is it?" >
"Hey Rias-san, I need your help with something..."
What I am going to do to them will hit harder than falling from heaven ever did.

~ Abandoned Church ~
Twilight shone down on the woods surrounding the abandoned church nestled on one of the hills surrounding Kuoh. Sitting on one of the trees was Mittlet, dressed in gothic lolita attire and kicking her legs back and forth childishly while doing the bare minimum she had to do as the guard stationed outside alongside Dohnaseek who was on the opposite side at the back of the church.
As she was bored out of her mind she finally heard the sound of flapping wings she was was waiting for. She shifted her eyes from the ground to see her busty ally floating down toward her with the target in her arms, she held a stern face as always.
"Mittelt, I'm back. Take her from my hands, I'm tired from carrying her all the way here." 'Kalawarner' said landing in front of her with a limp 'Asia' in her arms.
Mittelt whined while throwing her arms in the air exaggeratingly.
"Finally! What took you so long!? Raynare-nee has been chewing my ear off like I was the one responsible for nabbing her! Just take her down yourself, she'll just complain that I abandoned my post if I do it." Kalawarner still held a stoic facade but Mittelt saw her brow furrow for a second in irritation.
"Just take her, I'll cover for you, I do not want to see Raynare's smug face right now. My back hurts from searching all day." Mittelt covered her mouth as she smugly giggled.
"Oh my~ are you sure it isn't because of your cow tits? Whatever, I'll be gracious and carry her for you but you better be grateful." Of course, Mittelt was planning to use this opportunity to lie to Raynare about how Kalawarner messed up and she had to be the one to get the girl instead.
Mittelt walked over to 'Kalawarner', ready to receive the 'unconscious girl' before 'Kalawarner' suddenly threw the body over to her making her panic and stretch her arms out to catch
"What the fu-" Her words were cut off as 'Kalawarner' lunged forward and drove her hand into the distracted Mittelt's abdomen, the clawed digit stabbing through her body, impaling her on the arm.
"Guek!" Mittelt vomited a mouthful of blood before keelimg over, in front of her eyes the facade peeled away like a mirage being lifted, the image of 'Asia' faded to that of a rolled-up blanket while 'Kalawarner' was replaced with a young man whose hollow eyes seemed to drill into her very soul.
Ripping the arm the man let Mittelt collapse onto the floor like a discarded puppet.
He stared at the abandoned church through the tree line with a stern face before swinging his arm to throw the blood off of it.
"3 left."
A/N: Creativity is the best weapon at a gacha user's disposal, and Yuta's is plenty sharpened. Yuta is pretty ruthless when push comes to shove, he is going to complete his quest efficiently and thoroughly. They messed with the wrong girl, there is no mercy, just a death sentence without plea.
What did you guys think about Yuta's performance in this chapter? I wanted to creatively use most of his abilities, especially the disguise one. Yuta will make good use of any tool given. He has an assassin build that focuses on singular decisive shots compared to Hakari's bruiser style. What did you guys think about this chapter and how Hakari acted alongside the fallen? I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Well, he did spell out his intent pretty clearly with the "Death sentence, no pleas or appeals" but who knows, maybe some of them will end up surviving if I want to use them to further the plot later. Though I don't plan on making them signifcant characters this time around.

I'm rolling on the ground sad that I finished this chapter too quickly... I look forward to MOAR~! I'm curious as to the route the mc will take killing raynare and freedom, all of them, spare a few, or something else entirely.

There's a sentence before he interrogated her where he used her name.
BronzDeck
Funnily enough, I just edited out a part of that sentence specifically because I thought it would be more consise, the original was "I sat on Kalawarner's, apparently that was her as I found out after my interrogation, unconscious body, I had bludgeoned the back of her head into unconsciousness with the stop sign after hearing what she had to say. And what I heard wasn't pretty." -I'll edit it back
Alex I
He used her name like he knows it right after he binds her. He hasn't been told their names from what we've seen.
