"Leone, protect the girl. Anna, Izumo, Misaki, with me." Mikoto said as Fallen Angels began to descend into the room. The angels didn't waste time as they charged at Mikoto's group.

Mikoto swiped his hand, creating a wave of red and black fire that hit the first group and annihilated them. More came as Izumo, Anna, and Misaki began to fight using their fire and magic.

"It's a little cramped in here," the exorcist said as he finally got up, coughing up blood as he held his ribs in pain.

"You're right. Allow me to clear the room," Mikoto said as his power flared around him with red lightning arcing off him, creating an explosion outward from himself.

"We're closed," Harada said groggily.

"Asia!" Issei yelled as Harada groaned before stepping aside and letting Issei in.
