DxD: My Main Skill is Winning Hearts

Chapter 71 – Spear of Light

Raynare's feet touched the ground softly, and her eyes looked me up and down with malice. But not the kind of malice I liked. The closed smile that formed on her lips was cruel, and I knew that what came next would be a fight to the death.

Raynare had huge black wings that showed her heritage, and she didn't seem to be trying to hide them.

"Anyway, you know you shouldn't be here, Leonard. This is Fallen Angel territory," Raynare said.

"I'm here for a reason and you know it, Raynare. I'm not going to let you and Kokabiel do whatever you want with this town. You shouldn't even be here. Rias was very clear when she drove you out and killed that priest."

Raynare laughed at my answer, a bitter, shrill laugh. "Do you really think you can give us orders and we'll just obey? We're fallen angels, the kind that even the God of the Bible couldn't restrain with its ideological and humanitarian chains. Besides, what kind of look is that? You really think you can take me on, don't you? Hahaha! I killed you once, and frankly, I see no reason not to do it again here and now."

"The last ally of yours who underestimated me had to beg for help and is no longer in heaven, earth or hell... I'm not the same boy you met last time." I shook my left hand, which was covered in Boosted Gear.

"Are you kidding? You're just a vir..." Raynare said as she started sniffing the air with a debauched expression. "Wait, you're not a virgin anymore?"

Xenovia, who was standing next to me, raised her eyebrows and blushed.

A smile appeared on my face and I crossed my arms. "Uh-huh! Like I said, I'm not the same anymore."

The expression of debauchery and malice on Raynare's face quickly changed to one of clear anger and hatred. Her forehead furrowed and sharp teeth appeared in her mouth.

Her face was slightly red, but with a serious expression, Xenovia began to walk toward Raynare. She held out her right hand, and a portal appeared in front of her palm.

"I can handle her," Xenovia said as she put a hand into the portal, but I put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"No. Your place is inside, helping Rias and Akeno. Kokabiel should be coming soon, and they need all the help they can get."

Xenovia hesitated, her gray eyes reflecting the indecision she felt. "But you...?"

"I'll take care of her. Trust me."

"Don't die," she whispered before running towards the church. I knew that the battle inside the church had already begun and that time was against us.

When I turned back to Raynare, she had a scornful look on her face. "How foolish. Do you really think you can stop me while she runs off to help her friends? How pathetic..."

I sighed. "It may be pathetic for you, because you have nothing of value."

Raynare narrowed her eyes. "If you want, I'll make sure your last moments are memorable. Let's see how much you can really take, child."

She held up one of her hands, and an intense light began to form between her fingers, taking the shape of a spear. I recognized it: a spear of light, the same weapon that had pierced my belly the last time we fought.

"Prepare to die," she said before throwing the spear straight at me.

I moved instinctively, activating Boosted Gear at just the right moment.

"{Boost!}" Ddraig's scream echoed in my mind, instantly boosting my power.

With my newfound strength, I dodged to the side, and the spear flew past me, ripping through the air with a sharp crack and hitting the ground behind me, where it shattered in a burst of light.

Raynare seemed surprised that I had managed to dodge and gave me no time to rest. In the blink of an eye, she was upon me. Her black wings gave her impressive speed. Another spear appeared in her hand, and she swung it with force, aiming for my heart again.

I was ready. I raised my right arm, using the Boosted Gear as a shield.

The spear struck the red and gold surface of the Boosted Gear, and sparks flew around us as the holy light and draconic energy collided.

Raynare flew backwards, surprised that I had dodged and blocked her attacks. "Interesting. Looks like you're not as weak as I thought."

"I told you, I'm not the same as before!" I replied, lunging at her with a Boosted Gear coated blow. She dodged easily as her wings pushed her aside.

"You may have gotten stronger, but being a little faster isn't enough to stay alive against me!" She shouted, summoning several light spears above her head and firing them in quick succession.

I was still low on boosts, so I wasn't as strong as when I fought Raiser. So I couldn't afford to get hit. I ran to the side, feeling the heat of the spears passing dangerously behind me. One exploded as it hit the ground in front of me, throwing me backwards with the force of the explosion.

I scrambled to my feet, but it was too late. Raynare was already on top of me, her spear pointed straight at my chest.

"It's over!" she shouted with a cruel smile before thrusting the spear forward.

The pain was immediate. The holy light burned my flesh as the spear pierced my chest. The force of the blow knocked me to the ground, and the spear pierced through my body, burying itself in the ground beneath me.

Raynare laughed, a loud, satisfied laugh as she looked down at me. "Finally... You should have stayed dead the first time, boy."

But I was something she hadn't expected. I smiled, a crooked smile, as she looked at me.

"Do you... think... a spear like that... will kill me...?"

Raynare's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at me, confused. "What...?"

"It... hurts... a lot. But... it doesn't affect me... that much... not anymore."

Raynare's eyes widened as she saw me touch and lift the spear. "That's not possible... You're a devil... a spear of light should...!"

"I... don't have a... devil's heart..." Slowly, I began to pull it out, feeling the flesh burn around the holy blade.

Raynare took a step back. The confidence she had once exuded was now replaced by shock and fear. "This... this shouldn't be happening... You should die!"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but this time I won't go down so easily."
