Chapter 98 - Saintess And Witch

Xenovia looked at Abel with a solemn expression, she felt as if the boy in front of her knew everything.

Could the matter of the Holy Sword be related to the Devils?

Although she thought this, Xenovia still admitted it when faced with Abel's words.

"That's right, there's a problem with the Church. The Church originally had seven Holy Swords, but one of them has been missing until now. There are still six left in the Church."

"However, some time ago, a Fallen Angel broke into the Church and stole three Holy Swords."

"The Holy Swords were stolen!?"

Upon hearing this news, Rias and Sona, along with their Peerage, were all shocked.

The Holy Swords being taken by a Fallen Angel was a major incident. It could very likely affect the peaceful discussions of the Three Factions Conference, leading to the continuation of the Three Factions War.

Xenovia continued, "Besides that, the Church still has three Holy Swords. One is kept in the Church, and two others are with me and Irina. The one in my hand is the Holy Sword of Destruction."

Irina spoke up, "And the Holy Sword in my hand, the Holy Sword of Mimicry."

As they spoke, both of them displayed the Holy Swords in their hands.

Abel was well aware of all this, and the last, strongest Holy Sword, the Holy Sword of Control, was in the hands of Arthur's descendant.

Similarly, he had a genuine Excalibur in his hand.

"So, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Xenovia looked at Abel and said directly, "Our purpose is for you not to interfere. This matter concerns the Church and the Fallen Angels. If you Devils intervene, it will be very troublesome for us to handle."

"So please, no matter what happens, do not interfere in this matter."

"Alright, we're not interested in your affairs. Just don't ask us for help later."

"Don't worry, we certainly won't. Your word is enough."

With that, Xenovia and Irina stood up and said, "Sorry for taking up your…"

Xenovia paused.

She met Asia's eyes and felt a sense of familiarity, then fell into thought.

"You're Asia Argento, aren't you?"

"Ye… Yes." Asia was slightly stunned and nodded.

Xenovia looked at Asia and said, "I didn't expect…"

"Ladies, isn't it time to leave?"

At this moment, Abel spoke, interrupting Xenovia's words.

Although he liked the two in front of him very much, he couldn't let them bring up unpleasant memories for Asia.

However, Xenovia ignored him and continued speaking on her own, "I didn't expect to meet a witch here…"

"Did you not hear what I said!"

As Abel's angry words fell, a massive aura erupted, pressing down on Xenovia and Irina. The two were instantly pressed to the ground by the aura.

On the ground, Xenovia and Irina looked somewhat incredulous.

How could such an aura appear on a new generation?

Xenovia tried to prop herself up with her Holy Sword but couldn't move. Irina was in the same situation.

Asia knew what Xenovia wanted to say. She wanted to say that she was a witch, that the former Saintess had actually become a Devil.

However, Asia didn't care about these things. She had found her home and also had many friends.

Regarding God, she would still pray, even if it caused her headaches. Whether she was a Saintess, a Witch, or a Devil, it was all the same.

So, in her eyes, Abel was like a god who pulled her out of the mire.

Asia walked to Abel's side, holding his arm and saying, "Nii-san, don't be angry anymore. I'm fine. These things won't affect me."

Abel looked at Asia, feeling a little helpless.

Indeed, Asia was too gentle and kind.

Because Asia's Sacred Gear could heal even devils, she was regarded as a witch and exiled.

The title of Saintess was forced upon Asia by the Church, and the title of witch was also forced upon Asia by the Church. Indeed, there were no normal people in the Church.

"Alright, you two can go." Abel withdrew his aura and spoke calmly.

Xenovia and Irina slowly stood up.

Xenovia looked at Abel with a strange gaze.

"Apologies, we were rude."

Xenovia apologized to Asia, then turned and left.

As their hands touched the door, Xenovia and Irina quickly retreated. A cold light flashed, and the door was split in half.

At the same time, Issei's voice came through. "Yuuto, this isn't good."

"Issei, this is my own business!"

"What are you talking about! We're lovers!"

Yuuto and Issei walked in from outside the door.

Facing Issei's incessant chatter, Yuuto let it go in one ear and out the other, his eyes fixed on the two Church members, while his body exuded a strong murderous aura.

Abel looked at Rias and joked, "Rias, the cost of repairing the door is on you."

Rias rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Yuuto.

Xenovia looked at Yuuto. "Who are you, and why are you attacking us?"

Yuuto looked at the greatsword in Xenovia's hand and said, "Who am I? I am your senior. As for why I'm attacking you..."

As he spoke, Yuuto activated Sword Birth, creating a sword that absorbed light and pointed it at Xenovia, saying. "Of course, it's to destroy all the Holy Swords of the Church!"

With that, Yuuto was about to charge forward, but he was stopped by Issei.

"Yuuto, don't be so rude in front of President Rias and President Sona!"

Yuuto was held tightly by Issei.

Xenovia and Irina frowned.

A senior? And a senior who wanted to eliminate Holy Swords?

Surely, they didn't have such rebellious seniors.

They turned to look at Abel. "What are your thoughts on this?"

Rias wanted to say something but was interrupted by Abel.

Abel, now eager for some entertainment, spoke up, "My thoughts? How about a fight? I'll provide the venue, how about that?"

Xenovia and Irina exchanged glances. Since someone was offering to be a punching bag, they were certainly happy to oblige.

"Alright."

Xenovia nodded. "I challenge you. Do you dare to accept?"

"Good! I couldn't ask for more!"

Yuuto became excited upon hearing Xenovia's words, his eyes filled with a longing to destroy Holy Swords.
