THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM (DxD/Multiverse)

"You two must be residents of this town. I've been appointed to the Church here." She lowered her head: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I am, but she's new to the city," Zaydas replied. "You'd like to know where the church is, correct? If you want, I can take you there."

"Y-You will! T-Thank you~! This is all thanks to God!" She smiled, tears of joy streaming from her eyes.

Ravel, beside him, tugged on his sleeve, concern evident on her face.

She murmured softly, "Are you sure it's okay to promise that?"

["It's fine, go back first. I have my own plans. Don't worry, I'll be alright."] He responded telepathically.

Ravel seemed surprised when he spoke to her like that. However, it wasn't unusual to use telepathy; she could do it too and replied: ["Be careful. I'll inform Grayfia-sama just in case."]

["It's okay. You worry too much. I'm not as weak as you think."] Zaydas smiled faintly.

The nun in front of them, unaware of their telepathic conversation, tilted her head slightly with tear-filled eyes, looking very endearing.

Ravel left but glanced back as she gained some distance.

"Did I interrupt something?" the nun asked nervously.

"Don't worry about it." Zaydas smiled. "Shall we?"

Standing before her, just looking at the glowing rosary on her chest caused a slight discomfort. But for him, it was no more than the sting of an ant.

When he was 17, he had practically developed resistance to holy water and Church artifacts. That was because his father made him keep his feet or hands submerged in holy water and hold sacred artifacts to build his tolerance.

It had been several intense months. But thanks to that, Zaydas wasn't affected like other Devils when seeing or touching a sacred artifact.

The church was located on the outskirts of the city.

Zaydas walked with her slowly while Asia seemed curious about everything she saw.

"You said you were appointed to the church in this city, right?" Zaydas looked at her.

She smiled faintly. "Yes, that's right."

"I still don't know your name," Zaydas said. "By the way, my name is Zaydas Grimmory."

She responded with a smile, "My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!"

The conversation ended there, and they continued walking toward the church. It took a few minutes before an old church became visible.

"Yes, this is the place! I'm so happy." Asia let out a sigh of relief after comparing the location to the map she was carrying.

"So, this is it," Zaydas said. "You know this church hasn't been active for years?"

"How can that be?" She seemed incredulous.

"Hmm hmm. Oh my, isn't that Devil-kun!"

Emerging from behind a tree was a man with white hair. He looked like a foreigner and seemed no older than 18. He was dressed like a priest.

"Oh? A nun with a Devil-kun?" When he noticed Asia, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Then he seemed delighted.

"I am a priest~♪ A boy priest~♪ I cut demon-like people~, and I laugh at them~♪ I cut off your heads, demons, and have my feast~♪" the priest began to sing.

"Zaydas-san is a Devil?" Asia looked at him, murmuring in surprise.

"My name is Freed Zelzan. I belong to a certain Exorcism organization. Oh, just because I introduced myself doesn't mean you have to. I don't want to remember your name in my memory, so please don't. It's fine, since you'll die soon anyway. I'll make sure of that. It might hurt at first, but then you'll feel so good you'll cry. Now let's open the new door—ZE!"

"You can't do that!" Asia shouted.

"Haa~~? What are you talking about? Demons are trash. Did you know they're a shitty existence? That's common sense, you know? You didn't know? Seriously, you should restart your life from childhood!" The priest drew a bladeless sword and a gun: "Hahahaha, actually, it's been a while since I've raped a shitty nun who's strayed. It'll be a pleasure to play with you~."

BOOM.

A sound reverberated in the air.

The sword that was only a hilt transformed into something like a lightsaber.

He looked at Zaydas, who remained calm the entire time: "You're kind of annoying, so can I cut you? Can I shoot you? Is that okay? Alright then. Now I'm going to stab your heart with this light blade, and I'll blow your head off with this cool-looking gun! Man, I might just fall in love with myself!"

"Whoosh!"

"Asia-chan, stay behind me," Zaydas said.

"But…"

"It's okay, I'll protect you." Zaydas smiled confidently at her.

"Wow. Now this is a big surprise. Is this the forbidden love between a Devil and a Sister? Really? Are you serious? Bleahhh, dog crap! Demons and humans can never coexist! Especially humans from the Church and Demons—they're the worst enemies. I'm going to enjoy cutting him down and raping you afterward. 'Lick'." He licked his gun as he advanced.

An agricultural scythe materialized in Zaydas's hand.

"Beng!"

The sound of metal echoed through the forest area. Sparks flew from Freed's lightsaber and Zaydas's scythe, which, with a simple application of force, sent the priest flying upward, spinning before he stabilized himself.

"Asia-chan, just as I thought," Zaydas said. "This church is being used as a refuge for a group of heretics abandoned by God. Are you sure you're in the right place?"

"Asia? You said her name is Asia?" Father Freed laughed. "The Fallen Angel girl told me very firmly that I can't kill you. But I'm getting a little pissed off. Since I can't kill you, can I at least rape you, huh? If I don't, I won't be able to heal my heart. But before that, I need to kill that piece of trash over there."

Asia's body trembled as she heard Zaydas's and Freed's words.

"Kill me?" Zaydas smiled. "That's an interesting thing to say. I hope you don't regret the day you raised your sword against me."

Zaydas's body began to move at a high frequency. Soon, everything seemed to slow down for him.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah!? Don't talk crap, you shitty little brat! Seriously, is something wrong with your brain!?" Freed's expression was now twisted.

However, even his words seemed to be in 'slowmotion'.

When Zaydas, surrounded by wind, moved, he struck with the scythe, perfectly fitting Freed's neck into the blade. After pulling back, he returned to his position.

"Kyahaaaaaah! Die, you shitty Devil-kun!" Father Freed leaped into the air with the lightsaber raised.

He pointed his gun at Zaydas, firing. However, a ten-centimeter-thick ice shield formed, blocking the pistol's shot.

"I…" Freed's next words were cut off as he thought: Why am I seeing the sky?

"Ahhhh, he, he…" Asia reacted only when Freed's head fell from his body, rolling on the ground with wide-open eyes.

[+1,600 AP!]

Zaydas raised his eyebrows slightly: 'He might have been an annoying guy, but at least he gave a decent amount of AP.'

"H-He's dead…" Asia still seemed in disbelief.

"Yes, he wanted to kill me, so I killed him," Zaydas replied.

"How can you be so calm?" She had tears in her eyes.

"Asia-chan, you're so innocent you didn't even realize you were being deceived by their group." Zaydas pointed toward the church. "Right now, I can sense the presence of a ritual being performed. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Holy Maiden with a healing Sacred Gear, correct?"

"…How?"

"How do I know?" Zaydas explained. "I just had to piece things together. I know what happened to you since you were somewhat well-known, and the fact that you can heal a Devil became quickly recognized."

Asia was still in shock. She looked at Freed's headless body, then at his head, and vomited.

Zaydas, on the other hand, looked toward the abandoned church. 'Time to hunt some black-feathered pigeons~'
