A few hours ago, on the south island of the dead...

Rias was facing two Demigods.

An Elder Licht, whose body was nothing more than a skeleton covered in a ragged black colored cloak.

Then there was the Banshee Queen, in a loose white transparent dress. She had pale skin and white hairs that were swaying as if they were alive.

"Oh my! Two at the same time?" muttered Rias with amusement.

"You have been wreaking havoc on this island for a long time, little girl" muttered Elder Licht.

"First we were ignorant of your actions. But now you've become quite arrogant" followed the Banshee Queen.

"Do you really think that you have a chance of winning against us?" questioned the Banshee Queen in a melodious voice. 

"Of course, I can. Why else would I be standing here?" she remarked sarcastically.

The two Demigods frowned after hearing her mocking comment.

They didn't know why the spirit had been hunting their kin non-stop but her existence was not negligible anymore.

The Banshee Queen was the first one to attack Rias.

She opened her mouth and let out soul-scrapping howls.

Rias summoned a wind and water barrier around her and due to which the sound vibrations were negated.

The Banshee Queen was baffled. Her attack has never been neutralized in such a way.

The Elder Licht started chanting his spell and immediately started throwing curses and debuffs at her.

While she effortlessly dodged the curses thrown at her.

"Heh~, You guys are so weak" muttered Rias with smug. 

"If I had known this, I would have harvested your soul way back" she muttered with a sadistic smile.

The two of them started attacking her continuously together.

She dodged and repealed all of their attacks skillfully.

The Banshee Queen then rushed her and started attacking Rias with her claws while the Elder Licht supported her from behind by throwing ominous spell after spell.

Then suddenly from her shadow, a claw came out to scratch her but she dodged it at the last moment.

Rias then used Air to blast away the two melee attackers.

*Badump~*

Then out of nowhere, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart which brought her back to the ground and instantly onto her knees.

At first, she was confused. She was sure that she had dodged each and every attack.

But what she felt like was someone clenching her heart, tears started coming out and she felt depressed.

Then her eyes opened wide and she looked towards the North direction and muttered, "Satvik!"

'What happened? Why is he in so much pain? I need to rush to him' she started to panic.

She was bonded with Satvik and felt his emotions whatever they may be.

Joy, jealousy, and sadness.

She had felt them throughout the past years but he has never been so sad and depressed.

She was having a premonition that something bad is about to happen.

"I will see you guys later," she said and started flying North.

"Where are you going? We have just begun," said the Elder Licht, and behind stood a small group of undead.

There were several monsters but the most dangerous one was an undead dragon.

Don't want to be left behind the Banshee Queen also called her subordinates.

"Tch~" Rias clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She won't be able to leave without dealing with the enemies surrounding her.

Rias was still hovering in the air with an annoyed look on her face as she had been facing the endless assault of Two demigods.

The most annoying enemy was the undead dragon, which always blocked her spells with its body.

While the Elder Licht kept on buffing the dragon and kept it in top shape.

On the other hand, the Banshees kept on throwing physical attacks and their Queen kept using her cry.

Rias kept on trying to retreat from here to go and find her other half, but the demigods restricted her withdrawal.

"What happened little Spirit? Don't want to play with us anymore?"

"It makes me sad," said the Queen while mocking her.

 Rias was still clenching her chest as the pain was only increasing.

*Badump~*

Then Rias landed on the ground once again and let go of her chest.

Her head hung low and she stood there without moving.

The pain in her heart was gone and the only thing that was left was pure hatred.

Hatred to burn everyone and everything in her Rage.

"GET THE HELL OUT MY WAY!" she growled.

"Oh now she's gonna throw tantrums," said the Elder Licht while laughing.

Rias didn't say anything and while looking upward at everyone with pure hate she cupped her hands and put it next to her right side.

                               -----------------

(Flashback)

Rias gently laid in Satvik's embrace while he was giving her a lecture on how to use her power more efficiently.

Then a willow of blue color flame appeared on Satvik's open palm.

"You see this Rias?"

"When fire burns hotter it turns from red to blue and then to white"

"Although creating white flames is hard but you can easily create blue flames"

"You just have to understand better what are the components of air, the most important being oxygen"

Rias nodded and listened to him carefully.

"I can't exactly show how to separate these components of Air, but you being a spirit must have some ideas about these?" he questioned.

Rias shook her head in denial.

Satvik sighed and pressed his forehead on hers while thinking of ways to explain it to her.

While his thoughts were transmitted to Rias's mind.

"Oh I get it" she exclaimed and suddenly a willow of blue flame appeared on her fingertip.

"H-h-how?" was the thing he questioned in surprise.

"Well I just saw a series of images of what you tried to explain"

"I don't how that happened though" she mumbled while trying to think hard.

'The power of Author's BS' he mumbled inwardly.

"Is this not what you were trying to teach me?" she questioned cutely.

Satvik was smitten by her act and cupped her face and showered with more kisses.

"Well done," he said.

"Now let me teach you one of the greatest techniques in the world," he said in a serious tone.

"Why are you wearing glasses now? I remember your eyesight being perfect?" she questioned.

"Ignore it and Listen" he tried to ignore her question.

"But why are your specs glowing?" she questioned with concern.

He adjusted his glasses and said, "For this technique, you need to combine three elements"

"Air, Light and finally Fire specifically blue flames. Cup your hands together and put them at your side....." he continued with an explanation.

                                     -------------------

['Then concentrate the three elements,' said Satvik]

She remembered Satvik's step-by-step directions.

Soon three tiny balls, of three different colors of mana appeared between her palms yellow, white, and slightly greyish.

['Open your legs wide and put your right leg behind to support your stance']

She opened her feet wide.

['Then remember the most important part and while putting your whole heart in it, yell..' said Satvik]

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...." Rias started yelling at top of her lungs.

"Still want to use magic against us. I guess stupid children never learn their lesson" said the Elder Licht. 

"Meeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa....." Rias ignored the comments of her enemy.

Elder Licht took cover behind the dragon and while looking at the Banshee Queen said, "I would suggest you take cover as well, that's a lot of mana she is condensing."

The Banshee Queen nodded and went behind the undead dragon.

Rias then remembered the doubts she had.

['Why do I have to tell?' she questioned.]

[It's the most important part, love. Now put your hands forward and continue,' said Satvik]

Rias lifted her palms and aimed at the lined-up enemies and yelled.

"Meeehhhhhaaaaaaaaaa....!!!!!" 

A blue-colored beam which was 4 meters in radius went straight in line toward the dragon.

The land and the sky were dyed blue to you the beam.

After a few seconds when the beam died down, there was nothing left of the two Demigods other than ashes.

Rias turned and with all her might flew towards the North direction.

As soon as Rias arrived next to Satvik she couldn't believe the scene she was welcomed with.

He was covered in bruises while he was lying in a puddle of blood.

She instantly rushed and took him in her embrace, while she looked at his deteriorating health she was chocked by emotions.

 Who did this?" she questioned with a sorrowful voice.

His gaze was hazy but all he could mutter was,

 "Sor...ry, R...ia...s."

As soon as those words left his lips he passed out.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you" she mumbled while wailing as she hugged him closer.

Within a few seconds, she realized that his soul was crumbling.

She wiped her tears and kissed his forehead.

"Everything is going to be fine" she mumbled while looking at him gently.

Rias carried Satvik to the terrace of the tallest building, which was the bell tower.

She then laid him in her lap.

She looked down at him, she already knew that they were losing precious time.

She laid him down and with a sorrowful giggle said, "I guess this was the sole reason I was gifted this Second chance."

She remembered very well the Goddess offered her to become a Priestess and gave her blessings.

Then after kissing him, "It will take some time till we meet again."

"Don't be too reckless in the meanwhile" she said while caressing his bloodied cheeks.

Then after pressing her forehead onto his she put her hand onto the seal of their union.

Then she turned into particles of light that were sucked into Satvik's body.
