As soon as she hit the ground, Issei rushed towards her downed form with his fist raised for a knockout blow, only to see Mittelt roll to the side as his gauntlet embedded itself into the pavement. Unfortunately for the Fallen Angel she never had the chance to take advantage of this opening as Issei saw her approaching and sent a powerful kick into her stomach.

Once again crying out in pain Mittelt returned to the sky and summoned another spear as she watched Issei remove his hand from the pavement with a shower of concrete. The red gauntlet on his arm once again glowing as he grinned up at her.

[BOOST!]

"That's not possible you can't have Boosted Gear! Twice Critical I could understand but that Longinus never showed anything to do with cards before!" exclaimed Mittelt.

Issei just grinned up at her, "what makes you think that the cards are a Sacred Gear?"

As he said this Mittelt froze and realized the fatal flaw with her entire plan, she had just assumed that he was a normal human apart from his Sacred Gear. She had assumed that those cards were his Sacred Gear, she didn't even pause to consider if he could use other abilities. Which meant the time he had fought off Raynare and killed Dohnaseek, even when fighting that Devil knight, he was using his own power.

"Looks like you've figured it out, that's right this entire time I haven't been using my Sacred Gear," he grinned and grabbed the cardholder on his belt.

"That's not possible, no normal human no matter how skilled at magic they are could create those cards, they have to be Sacred Gears!" denied the Fallen Angel fearfully.

"Well I wouldn't exactly call their creator a normal human but I promise you these cards are no Sacred Gears. In fact why don't I show you one now, Archer seems like she wants to meet you, I think you made her mad with your little trick," replied Issei as he held up the glowing Archer card.

"Include Archer," called the teen as the card's glow blinded Mittelt, as her eyesight returned the Fallen Angel was greeted to the sight of Issei holding a jet black bow that was larger than he was tall in his non gauntlet hand.

Even though Mittelt couldn't feel any magical energy being emitted by this bow, she instinctively knew that this weapon was dangerous. Issei smiled as he nocked an arrow and began drawing the bowstring back, only to let go as it was half drawn. However much to Mittelt's horror instead of simply falling short and hitting the ground, the arrow flew past her ear as it continued sailing into the nearby building and didn't stop, carving a massive hole through the entire structure before finally coming to a halt.

The Fallen Angel just looked at the carnage in shock as one fact became abundantly clear, there was no magic energy in that attack, it was caused by the pure physical power of the bow itself. The sound of the human talking snapped her out of her fear induced trance as she turned back to face him fearfully.

"Well Tauropolos certainly lives up to its reputation doesn't it?" he smirked, before shooting another arrow at her.

Mittelt only just managed to dodge the speeding projectile but even so, it still clipped her spear as it passed, completely shattering her light spear and nearly breaking her arm in the process. "Hah Archer?! Don't make laugh, call yourself that once you actually hit your target," she taunted, trying to hide the pain coming from her arm.

"Who said I was aiming for you?" replied Issei, his smirk still in place as Mittelt heard a creaking noise from behind her.

Frowning the Fallen Angel quickly spun around and saw the dilapidated building behind her missing its entire middle section, the top half of it creaking as it began to lean towards her. Finally, without the support of the middle section, gravity started to take its toll and the top half came crashing down towards her like a landslide.

Unable to get away from the tumbling wreckage in time Mittelt instead flew towards it as she aimed for the holes in the walls, using them as a passage as she flew through the wreckage. As she finally escaped the collapsed building and made it safely to the other side, Mittelt gave a soft sigh of relief only to cough as the dust from the collapsed building filled the air.

"So you survived, I'll admit you're more resourceful then I gave you credit for," complimented Issei from behind her as the dust surrounding them began to clear.

Turning around the Fallen Angel saw Issei once again nocking two arrows with what seemed like a piece of paper attached to each of them, then the arrows began glowing, "with my bow and arrows, I respectfully ask for the divine protection of the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Artemis."

Mittelt suddenly felt an enormous amount of power gathering around the bow as Issei pointed it towards the sky, "I offer thee this calamity, Phoebus Catastrophe: Complaint Message on the Arrow!"

The two glowing arrows just shot into the night sky with twin glittering trails following close behind as they pierced the clouds. Then there was silence as Mittelt felt the power surrounding the bow dissipate and gave a relieved laugh.

"You idiot! You had a perfect shot and you missed! Archer? Ridiculous, you couldn't even hit the right side of a barn!" insulted the Fallen Angel as she readied another light spear.

Issei just smiled up at her as he pointed towards the sky, "hey Fallen Angel, if I were you I'd be taking cover right now."

Mittelt just laughed again and was about to throw her spear when she heard it, a noise rapidly getting louder and reminding her of the sound of falling rain. Frowning she looked up and immediately saw the night sky begin to light up faintly, then she spotted them.

Mittelt went pale as the sky above her was filled with multiple arrows made of light that were heading straight for her, preparing to rain down on the Fallen Angel with a vengeance. Pushing her wings as fast as they could take her, Mittelt tried to get out of the blast radius but the spread was simply too wide and she cried out as an arrow struck her in the shoulder and sent the Fallen Angel crashing to the ground.

Realizing how dangerously open the position that she landed in was, Mittelt darted for the nearest building as the light arrow's rainstorm continued. The Fallen Angel just took cover under a large table as she saw the tips of the light arrows poking through the rooftop or even blasting straight thought them and hitting the floor around her.

Eventually upon hearing the downpour of arrows stop, Mittelt struggled to her feet and walked outside warily. Only to gasp as she saw the area around her littered with the glowing projectiles. "Impressive isn't it?" asked the teen as he watched her.

Spinning around to face him Mittelt swallowed as she saw another arrow already nocked and ready to be drawn, "I'm just glad I didn't make it a single arrow instead of a rain, after all it's hard to question a corpse," he commented as the arrows surrounding the pair vanished.

Realizing that she had better maneuverability in the air even with her damaged shoulder Mittelt once again ascended to the skies, ready to dive for cover should he use Phoebus Catastrophe again. However, Issei didn't seem to mind as he stared at his bow and gauntlet with a frown.
