[Boost!]
The announcement from Boosted Gear echoed across the battlefield of Floor 99 as Issei whirled through its legion of White Flame demons, his blades flashing in wide arcs as he continued to hack and slash his way through their ranks. Anything that stood in his way was cut down before they could react, his advance relentless as he carved a path of destruction through the battlefield.
Around him, his Shadow Army was also engaging the armored, demonic horde at full force, never slowing even as they were torn apart, their forms collapsing only to regenerate moments later. Infantry shadows locked enemies in place, while heavier units smashed into clustered ranks and sent demons sprawling across the floor. From behind, ranged units fired from their elevated positions, sending volleys of physical and magical projectiles at the seemingly endless number of White Flame demons both fighting on the ground and in the air.
Even though the Demon Castle followed the basic structure of a Dungeon, where each successive floor was always harder than the one before it, the increase in difficulty from the ninetieth floor onward was abrupt and utterly unforgiving. Several times Issei had run out of mana because a great many of his shadow soldiers kept getting destroyed and regenerated, proving the strength of each demon had increased exponentially compared to the lower floors. They fought smarter, hit harder, and endured far more punishment than even the Elite Demons of the lower floors, making each battle a serious drain on his resources.
But even so, his success so far was not a fluke. Issei had been fighting all day, pushing through eight consecutive floors without taking a single break. Not that he needed to, however. Issei had every intention of keeping going until he reached the top, no matter how strong the demons standing in his way were.
"Get out of my way!" Issei said, cutting down several demons in one single sweep with Ascalon before pushing straight through the gap they left behind. Two behemoths rushed at him with giant sledgehammers, which crashed down with enough force to leave a deep crater in the ground where Issei had been as he instantly moved out of the way and dashed past them. Deep cuts opened along their torsos and legs as Ascalon flashed again and again, their balance breaking as blood sprayed across the ground. Before either could recover, Issei leaped back and finished them with a wide, horizontal slash, leaving both headless behemoths collapsing almost at the same time.

The moment that his boots touched the ground again, Issei shot his hand out, allowing the water shadow wolf to Form Change himself into a single shadow gauntlet on his right arm. Boosted Gear shone as blue mana surged around him, water erupting and swirling from the gauntlet before condensing into a massive water spear, which he then hurled forward with all of his might. The spear tore across the battlefield, impaling multiple demons in its path with its piercing power and dragging their bodies along as it flew straight toward the White Flame General of Floor 99, who stood on the highest tower of his grand castle. The moment that the water spear reached him, the demon swung his broad blade at the rippling projectile, dispersing it in a violent explosion of water that splattered across the ground before letting out a thunderous roar at Issei, his intent clear as he raised his sword in challenge.
In response, Issei briefly bent his knee before launching himself into the air, soaring over the clashing demons and shadows to descend toward the White Flame General, who swung his broadsword out to intercept him. Issei caught the blade head on, bringing his own weapon down in an overhead strike that sent a shower of sparks between the two as their blades clashed.

[WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER – CRIMSON SCALE MAIL]
The impact shook the tower beneath his feet, and the demon General leaned into the clash, raw strength bearing back against Issei, who instantly donned himself in his full Scale Mail armor, firing the booster on his back at full force to push back. The second that his Balance Breaker fully materialized, he twisted his wrist, forcing the massive sword aside before moving in close, striking twice at the White Flame General in quick succession. The demon answered with a sweeping counter, the broadsword tearing through the air with enough force to send out a pressure force that tore a large chunk off of his own castle. Issei ducked under it, pivoted around his flank, and carved a deep line across his back before diving to the side to avoid the follow-up.

Firing his Booster again, Issei shot forward, blinking a short distance toward the demon and turning his follow up attack into a piercing Phoenix Strike that carved a deep gash across his torso. The towering demon retaliated with a downward strike, boots grinding against fractured stone as cracks raced across the platform beneath them, but Issei twisted past the falling blade and struck again before the demon could recover. A sharp slash tore through its side, followed by another that forced him back several steps.
With a snarl, the demon swung wide, attempting to force distance through sheer reach, but Issei immediately answered by driving forward instead, parrying the blow and cutting across his sword arm, severing it from the elbow. The White Flame General roared, backing off as blood poured from the wound, but Issei did not give the demon the chance to recover, leaping into the air to drive his blade straight between his eyes, sending his body crashing through the crumbling tower as the last resistance of his legion started faltering before the fall of their leader.
'Amazing…'
Esil thought in awe as she watched from afar, eyes fixed on the battlefield below. The moment their General fell, the legion of demons lost all cohesion, with panic spreading through their ranks at the sight of Issei standing over their leader. What little resistance was left quickly vanished, as they were swiftly hunted down and erased by the advancing shadows. Within a few short minutes, the battlefield was silent save for the steady movement of shadow soldiers claiming the spoils of battle, while Issei got in his hand the Entry Permit for the final floor of the Demon Castle.
'Only the Demon King stands before him now…'Esil thought to herself before climbing onto Bahamut and allowing the shadow wyvern to take her to Issei. Arriving at the courtyard of the ruined castle, Esil dismounted a short distance away and ran to Issei, a beaming smile on her face as she called to him. "You did it, Issei-sama!"
"Oh, hey Esil." Issei smiled, tossing away the empty bottle of mana potion before waving at her. "Still got the Demong King ahead of us, so I won't celebrate just yet."
"But still, you fought so amazingly. Even the highest ranking demon clans stood no chance against you." Esil said honestly, her eyes still fixed on him with admiration.
"Oh right, with this, the Radiru is the highest ranking demon clan, right?" Issei asked while rubbing his chin with a thoughtful expression, making Esil widen her eyes slightly before nodding her head in confirmation.
"Now that you mention it…"
"Well, it was not my intention, but I'm happy to be of help." Issei chuckled. Since he had wiped out every demon clan ranked above hers, the Radiru would naturally become the strongest demon clan.
And once he took down the Demon King, wouldn't that place them at the very top of the demon hierarchy as well?
"That's such good news. Father would be delighted to hear it." Esil said, swinging her backpack around and setting it down in front of her before reaching inside to browse through the available delicacies she had brought along to negotiate with the demon nobles, but ended up not using at all because none of them had wanted to do that. "I know you said you didn't want to celebrate just yet, but for the night, how about we…"
Before Esil could finish, she finally noticed the empty mana potions scattered at his feet from the corner of her eye. Her hands slowed as she looked up at him, eyes widening as realization set in.
"Wait… you intend to keep going, Issei-sama?" Esil asked, surprise clear in her voice.
Issei nodded, scratching the back of his head with a small grin "Yeah, there's just the Demon King left, so…"
"But don't you feel tired at all?" Esil asked, her expression shifting quickly from shock to genuine concern "I mean, you have been fighting for the whole day…"
"I feel fine, really." Issei just answered with a shrug. If anything, the past ten floors felt more like a warm up than anything else, and Issei didn't want to stop now that he was fully at it.
The only real issue was the strain on his mana reserves, which Issei had to spend to heal his shadows and would normally take a couple of hours to fully replenish after each battle, but it was a problem that could easily be solved just by drinking lots of lots of Mana Potions. Although the ones that could restore a noteworthy amount of his reserve cost a small fortune to buy each, he earned more than enough gold to afford them simply by selling the loot his shadows brought back after every battle.
It also helped that they didn't taste all that bad.
"Oh, by the way, Esil." Issei then continued before Esil could say anything "You should probably head back down now. You've done me a great favor up to this point, but I don't think I'll need a guide for what comes next."
Esil froze for a moment, then looked up at him. "What? Head back… now?"
"I have a feeling I'm gonna need all of my commanders to assist me with this fight, so I can't leave any of them behind to protect you anymore." Issei said, reaching his right hand down to rest it on her shoulder before commenting "Thanks to your guide I was able to…"
"I know I can't help you in a fight like that." Before Issei could finish, Esil suddenly stood up and spoke to him, determination flashing in her eyes as she spoke firmly. "But… if it's possible, I want to follow you."
Issei widened his eyes at her, his mouth parting slightly in surprise as her words caught him completely off guard.
"I've guided you this far," She continued, already throwing her backpack back on and tightening its straps before he could say anything. "I want to see how it ends, the result of your journey."
For a moment, Issei simply stared at her. Then he exhaled and gave a small smile. "You're really serious about this, huh?"
Esil nodded without hesitation.
"Very well. Then do as you please." Issei said with a light chuckle. Recalling his shadows, Issei then turned on his boots and beckoned Esil to follow him as he walked toward the last portal of the Demon Castle. The demon girl quickly fell into step beside him, casting one last glance at the battlefield behind them before following Issei into the light.
A moment later, Issei and Esil stepped into a wide, open landscape beneath a dark, cloudy sky. A massive fortress stood in the distance, worn down and partially collapsed. Its towers were broken, its walls cracked and in various states of ruin, looking like it had long been abandoned. The ground stretching toward it was uneven, coated in the same particles being carried by the cold, biting winds to fall through the air around them.
Esil raised a hand, watching the pale flakes settle against her glove. "This is…"
Issei exhaled, his breath visible in the air as he answered, "Ash."
For a moment, there was only silence.
Then, without warning, a tremendous wave of mana crashed down upon them, forcing Issei to snap his head up. A heavy gust of wind swept across the ash-laden landscape as a massive shadow descended from the dark clouds above, landing on one of the fortress towers across the avenue before them. The impact cracked stone beneath his feet but left him unshaken.
As he stood straight up, Issei finally see full figure of the mighty, formidable demon. His dark, scaled form was sheathed in ornate golden armor that shimmered faintly in the dim light. Massive horns curled back from his helm-like headpiece, and his glowing red eyes locked onto Issei and Esil with a predatory glint. A mane of white, flame-like hair flowed behind him, casting a ghostly light across the tower, while the crimson blade of the longsword in his hand flickered, sending out arcs of red lightning licking at the structure beneath him and carving deep scars into its surface.
"So this is the Demon King, Baran…" Issei murmured, sweat trickling down the side of his face as he kept his eyes locked on the Demon King. The sheer weight of his presence was suffocating, but it was the oppressive wave of mana radiating from Baran and washing over the entire landscape that was making Issei nervous. Even without looking, he could tell that Esil was shaking in terror next to him, becoming seemingly frozen in her spot as she stood there and stared at the King of her species.
'Can I really win… no, I have to.' Issei thought as he took a deep breath, steeling his nerves and hardening his resolve as he narrowed his eyes at Baran, who raised his crimson blade and pointed it directly at him. In response, red lightning struck violently across the battlefield from the dark clouds above, searing the air with raw energy.
[!] Warning
Demon King Baran has used Skill: Army of Hell.
The ground shook as the fortress trembled violently with the lightning repeatedly striking the ground. With a deafening roar, massive doors of dark and purple energy carved open across the space before then, allowing an endless horde of demons to start advancing out.
[Demon soldiers have been summoned!]
[Demon soldiers have been summoned!]
[Demon soldiers have been summoned!]
[Demon Generals have been summoned!]
[Demon Knight Captains have been summoned!]
From dozens, to hundreds, to nearly a thousand… they surged across the ash-strewn avenue in waves. Each was a grotesque figure and terrifying in its own way, even when compared to the demons Issei had been encountering across the Demon Castle.
"This was worse than I thought." Issei murmured under his breath as he surveyed the legion of demons before him. The foot soldiers forming the frontlines were whatever, some being on par with those of the same ranks that he had encountered from floor 80 onward, but the Knight Captains were leagues beyond even the last White Flame Generals he had beaten. Issei had suspected that Baran commanded his own elite forces, just as any king would do, but this was far beyond anything he had expected.
"Issei-sama,… what do we do?" Esil asked nervously, backing off a step behind Issei as the demons broke into a full charge, weapons dragging across the ground while their roars tore through the ash-filled air. The ground trembled under their every step, the sound of their advance growing louder, heavier, until it drowned out everything else.
Issei remained silent the entire time, his gaze fixed firmly on the charging legion both on the ground and in the air until they were only a few feet in front of him to cry out.
"NOW!"
It was Lycaon that burst forth first from the darkness at his feet, his massive form surging forward with a feral snarl. Transforming himself into a streak of lightning, the Shadow Beast charged straight into the frontlines, his electrified forms ripping through shields and armors as if there were nothing. Demons on the frontlines were either hurled into the air or ripped apart on impact, with one brute barely having time to roar before Lycaon's jaws clamped down on him, dragging him across the ground and tearing him apart in a spray of blood and flesh.
Those that Lycaon missed continued their advance toward Issei and Esil, only to be hacked into pieces a heartbeat later as Gladio swung his broadsword in wide, decisive arcs. Before the bodies could even hit the ground, the shadow commander was already moving again, his form cutting straight through a Knight Captain and dropping him before the demon could react to move on to his next targets.
Demons tried to close in from the sides, but their attempt was met with the crushing blows from Vulcan and Aegis. The two Shadows forced their way across the battlefield with their troops, axes rising and falling with brutal efficiency. Each strike smashed through even the limbs of the larger behemoths, falling them one after another under the sheer weight of their blows.
"Glacia!" Issei bellowed, prompting Glacia to shoot into the air with frost building up along her staff. The Orb of Avarice shone brightly, intensifying the power of her spell until the temperature across the battlefield plummeted even more in an instant. The air around her seemed to crystallize before Glacia released a massive blast of icy wind from her staff, the wave tearing forward like a frozen tide and sweeping across the battlefield. Demons caught within the attack were annihilated, while those in close proximity were frozen solid mid-charge, their bodies swallowed by towering masses of ice that rose from the ground.
When the attack finally faded, a massive section of the battlefield had been wiped clean and frozen over. Before the other demons could regroup, the sky above them lit up with streaks of falling light. Beams of Megaflare fired by Bahamut rained down like shooting stars, bombarding the demons across the battlefield one after another. Each beam detonated upon impact, generating a large explosion strong enough to wipe out a large group of demons in bursts of blinding light, leaving nothing but scorched craters where entire groups had stood.
"A-amazing…" Esil uttered in amazement, this being her first time watching the battle from up-close.
"No, something's not right. This is going way too well." Issei said, eyes widening in realization as Baran suddenly let out a thunderous roar. Lightning erupted from his body and gathered at his mouth in violent arcs before he snapped his head up and unleashed it all at once toward the sky, illuminating the dark sky in a blinding flash before bolts of lightning came crashing down across the battlefield without discrimination. Shadows and demons alike were struck where they stood, bodies erased in flashes of blinding light as the ground exploded. Entire sections of the battlefield vanished under the storm as the air itself tore apart under the sheer force of it.
"I-Issei-sama…?"
Esil called out, having squeezed her eyes shut the instant the lightning came crashing toward them. When she dared to open them again, finding herself to be alright after the light faded away, she finally saw that Issei was standing over her with his coat draping over her head while Aegis stood in front of them both with the Attractive Shield in one hand, lightning still crawling across its surface.
'This bastard… he annihilated his own army to destroy mine and force me to expense my mana to heal them. He meant to use them as baits from the start.' Issei thought, keeping his firm gaze on the Demon King as he looked down at him and smirked. His eyes then briefly glanced toward his Shadows as they stood frozen in place, their bodies twitching while residual electricity coursed through them. 'Moreover, that attack just now was an AOE spell with a persisting stun debuff. Even if my Shadows regenerate or survive it, they won't be able to move for a duration.'
Baran knew exactly how his abilities work, and how to limit it.
"Go find a place to hide, Esil." Issei said, Ascalon flashing into his hand before he shot into the air, the battlefield fading behind him as he surged toward Baran while donning himself in his full Scale Mail. The Demon King grinned, his eyes flaring menacingly as he swung his blade out, striking Ascalon as Issei tried to strike him with his holy blade. The impact rattled his arm, before Issei found the world around him blurring as he was hurled back down, slamming into the ground hard enough to shatter the ash-coated earth beneath him. Cracks spread outward from the point of impact as debris flew into the air.
'Got him!' Issei thought, ignoring the sharp pain running through his body as he watched Blade descend toward Baran from behind, his form flickering as Stealth concealed his presence.
Just as Blade swung his weapons down to strike, Baran spun around and shot his arm out to grab the shadow assassin by the neck, making Issei widen his eyes in shock. His Stealth broke instantly as he was suspended briefly in the air before Baran swung him around and threw him toward Issei. Before the shadow could recover, Baran gathered lightning within his mouth again and unleashed it in a roaring torrent, swallowing Blade in the blinding energy of the blast that went straight toward Issei, who immediately leaped out of the crater Baran had sent him into and sprinted away, narrowly avoiding the blast as it grazed the edge of his coat before chasing after him, detonating the ground wherever it struck.
'Not good…' Issei clenched his teeth as he twisted his body mid-run, using a quick Phoenix Shift to put some distance between himself and the attack before calling out "Glacia! Tempest!"
In response, Glacia thrust her staff forward, frost surging out in a violent eruption as she unleashed another Diamond Dust, sending the massive wave of icy wind at the path of the lightning blast. The two forces collided head-on as thunder and freezing mist swallowed the space between them. With the Staff of Avarice, Glacia increased the power of her attack, turning the wave of icy wind into a full, pulsating beam of icy energy that eventually overwhelmed the lightning blast, dispersing it in a violent burst of freezing wind and crackling static that tore across the battlefield before fading out.
High above, the heavenly dragoon surged toward Baran. The Demon King raised his blade, clearly expecting a direct charge, but Tempest veered sharply at the last moment and cut downward instead. His body engulfed in a twisting vortex as he punched straight through the tower beneath Baran. The structure caved in with a deafening crash, stone and bricks collapsing inward as the Demon King was pulled down with it.
Baran landed on his feet amid the wreckage, barely kicking up dust before Tempest turned overhead and hurled his spear straight down at him. Baran swatted it aside with a single swing of his blade, sending lightning crackling outward as the spear spun harmlessly through the air. Asterius and Vulcan instantly capitalized the brief opening and charged in, their battleaxes coming down with crushing force, but Baran swiftly avoided the strikes and cut them down in a blink, sending both Shadows crashing away in four pieces.
"Katarea, Blade!" Issei shouted as shadow tendrils burst from the ground beneath Baran to wrap around his limbs, holding him in place while restraining his movement. In an instant, Issei and Gladio were on Baran, but the Demon King suddenly broke free of the restraints with a roar. In an instant, the Demon King threw his blade up and slashed at Gladio, releasing a devastating wave of red lightning that tore the shadow knight apart.
In the same movement, his free hand shot out and grabbed Issei, fingers shattering his helmet as he slammed him down to the ground with crushing force. Biting through the pain, Issei fired his booster at full power and launched himself out of the way before Baran could stab him, his hand throwing forward to launch a blast of dragon fire at point blank range to force him back. The Demon King swiped his blade around to disperse it, roaring ferally before instantly turning toward Tempest, slashing across the charging dragoon and knocking him out of the air in a violent spin that sent him crashing across the ground.
Summoning large boulders from the ground, Aegis hurled them toward the Demon King to intercept him, but Baran cleaved straight through it before it could even slow him down and surged toward him. Before the shadow could even raise his shield to block, the Demon King had dashed behind him in a blur and impaled him with his longsword. Crimson lightning surged along the blade as Baran drove the blade further forward, sending a shockwave that tore through Aegis and blasting his apart in a violent burst of crimson.
Lycaon and Tora lunged in together from opposite sides, but Baran cut them down just as fast. One swing sent Lycaon skidding across the battlefield in two, while a follow-up strike cleaved across Tora and fell her before she could even react. From afar, Bahamut unleashed a concentrated beam of energy at Baran, who met it head-on with his own lightning breath.
The two attacks collided midair, matching in strength for a brief second before Baran suddenly shot forward, forcing his way through the beam to behead Bahamut in a single motion.

Issei shot in from behind, Ascalon drawn back for a killing strike. Baran sensed it and instantly twisted around, his blade flashing out to cut him down, but Issei answered by firing the booster on his back and did a sharp turn through the air, circling his arm with Ascalon carving deep cuts across his arm, sending black blood spurting out with every hit. Before the Demon King could grab him again with his other hand, Issei dove straight down and landed hard a short distance away, tumbling across the ash before skidding to a stop.
Baran immediately spun toward him, his jaw opening for a close-range lightning breath, but Asterius and Vulcan threw themselves into him first, their arms wrapping around his torso and holding him in place through brute strength. Before the Demon King could try to break free, Lycaon lunged at him from behind and clamped his jaws down onto his shoulder as well, the three shadows finally forcing him to a halt long enough for Tora to sink her teeth into his sword arm, wrenching it downward as Issei descended with a decisive overhead strike.
The blade cut deep, but not deep enough to even hope to sever the hand from his wrist, as Baran twisted his arm just enough for his gauntlet to catch the holy blade at the last second. Even so, the combined effort was still enough to force Baran to let go of his sword when Katerea summoned a mass of tendrils to wrench it out of his hand.
Before Issei and his shadows could make their next move, a violent surge of mana suddenly erupted from his body, exploding from his mouth and expanding outward in a crushing dome of crackling energy as Baran roared, blowing the Shadows away from him one after another despite the three doing their best to endure it. Issei immediately leaped away before the energy could catch him as well, landing a short distance away while Baran stood alone amid the wreckage, lightning crawling across his towering form as a low, annoyed growl rumbled from his chest.
"Got his weapon at least…" Issei muttered as he stabbed his blade down to stop himself. The words had barely left his mouth when lightning suddenly exploded around Baran, and he emerged a moment later with a pair of blood-red daggers in his hands, making Issei let out a dry chuckle at the sight. "Guess I spoke too soon…"
MP: 2,167/15,350
[Partner, your mana…]
"I know, Ddraig." Issei said quickly, his eyes flicking to the status window showing his mana bar, which had been almost completely depleted, with just enough left to keep his army going for a single minute and a few Boosts, so long as he refrained from using his other mana costing abilities. While he and his strongest Shadows took on Baran, the rest of the army alongside Glacia was holding the demon legion at bay, and despite doing a solid job, they were still being destroyed and regenerated at a rapid pace. Healing his stronger Shadows also drained far more mana than doing so to the normal ones, and once there was nothing left to draw on, every loss then would be permanent until he could replenish his reserve.
But Issei had a feeling Baran would never let him have the chance to do so.
Good thing that he had another resource to spend.
He had to defeat Baran within its available timeframe.
Rain began to fall, light at first, then heavier in just a second, drenching the battlefield in a heavy downpour. Issei recalled all his commanders but the ones fighting the Demon forces around the avenue and straightened himself, Ascalon at the ready as he activated Soul Link, igniting the air around him in a raging inferno as he synchronized his powers with Ddraig and set the ablaze their mana. Across the field, Baran narrowed his eyes as the storm intensified, rain running down his towering form while lightning flickered above, mirroring the energy that was erupting from his own form.
"Soul Link Promotion…" Issei spoke as he held up his weapon and took a stance while his aura flared "...Knight."
For a brief instant, everything went still. Time seemed to slow as Issei and Baran stared at each other, before at once, both combatants vanished, reappearing at the center of the avenue as their blades collided in a shower of sparks. It was then that all hell broke loose with the compressed air trailing behind their movements slamming together and erupting into a violent shockwave that exploded across the field, rending the stormy clouds above and toppling over countless nearby structures, as Issei and Baran locked themselves in a final, titanic clash at the top of the Demon Castle.
