Two days had passed since the reaper attacks. Kiba was in the Gremory castle with all the girls as all of the servants were in a panic as the underworld was in chaos. The monster that Shalba had summoned due to the Annihilation maker was rampaging all over the underworld. On the television, the news coverage was on as they were covering the monster attacks. Thirteen pitch-black monsters that were the size of some of the tallest buildings in the underworld. Peerages of Devils were dispatched to deal with them, but the fight was a standstill as it went on.
Two of the largest monsters were given code names of the Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch due to their resemblance to them. "How is it possible that Ultimate class devils and their teams are ineffective." The news reporter questioned as the video was being shown of attacks doing little to nothing to the monster.
The allied factions that were sent to assist were having just as much trouble. Valhalla sent Valkyrie squads and the Greeks sent in Ares with a legion of warriors. But even they were having issues fighting these monsters. Even the rating game champion Diehauser Belial had to be dispatched giving hope to the citizens. Xenovia and Irina were in Heaven, Rossweisse was back home training and Gasper was in the Grigor training. So they were out of the loop on what was happening.
"Even the Maou peerages are being dispatched to take care of the Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch." Kiba turned around Riser standing there. Riser waved him off "I'm here with my brother Ruval. I also came to see how Ravel and Rias were getting along. But I feel for your problem right now."
"Were you able to talk to Rias?" Kiba asked finally able to focus on something other than Issei and the monsters.
Riser shook his head "I knocked on her door but she didn't respond. I doubt she wants to see me considering the circumstances."
A glass was heard being set on one of the tables in the room. "Here's some tea." Koneko said as she looked at Ravel.
"You need to cheer up Ravel." An older man's voice was heard. Kiba looked over and saw an older but still middle-aged man who looked like Riser but dressed in clothes fitting of a noble. "Once this is over we search for the Red Dragon." Ruval looked over at Kiba "You must be Rias' knight." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of small bottles and handed them to Kiba. "We came to give these to your group and see Ravel. Anybody who is going to be part of the counterattack is receiving these. Unfortunately, we have to send you the youth in to fight. Soon my foolish brother and I will be joining the frontlines." Ruval looked over to Riser then back to Kiba "Considering the sate of Rias and her Queen that the Red Dragon is missing. I'm surprised how well you're taking it considering the comradery that you all share."
"Thanks," Kiba said not wanting to think about it more than he had to. "I promised Issei that I would do what I could. But Rias is locked in her room, Akeno is dead inside and Asia is crying in another room.
Ruval nodded "It was decided that Ravel would tag along with him as a servant and possibly send her off with him."
"Yeah that was obvious, even Issei knew about it." Kiba sighed thinking about it "I bet he had plans to have her traded that day."
"Her future isn't decided yet, but can you keep her here? From the messages, she sends back home it looks as if she has truly made some friends." Ruval asked
"That's not a problem." Kiba said as smiled hearing that.
"Good then, we have work to do. Come Riser you will need to show off the flames of the Pheonix. Don't need you being made fun of anymore." Ruval said as he left with Riser in tow.
After the two Phenex brothers left Kiba sat there watching Ravel and Koneko. "Just when we finally got close he disappears." Ravel said as she and Koneko were leaning on each other for support.
"I...thought I was going to be prepared for this. But it doesn't make it any easier."
The door opened once again as Kiba looked to see who it was, only to see a tall man with black hair. "Kiba Yuuto." It was Barakiel standing there.
"I see." Kiba stood up as he leads Barakiel down the hall as he explained what happened so far.
Kiba opened one of the many doors as Barakiel walked in. He saw Akeno sitting on a sofa by herself. There was no brightness in her eyes "Akeno." Barakiel placed his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed on it getting her attention.
Her head tilted back as she saw him standing there. "Fa..ther."
Barakiel smiled as he sat down next to her "It's okay Akeno I'm here." Kiba didn't want to listen in any longer as he closed the door leaving them.
Making his way back through the house he saw someone standing there. "Saji?"
It was Saji as he looked over at Kiba "Oh Kiba."
"What brings you here?"
"I came here with Sona, she currently seeing how Rias is doing. I'm her escort right now, when we came in we saw the members of the Pheonix family leaving." Saji headed down the hallway with Kiba as he continues "I'm planning on participating in the protection of the civilians."
"We plan on joining in soon." Kiba said but Saji wasn't all too convinced
"Is everyone able to fight?"
It was a valid question and Kiba knew Saji wasn't in the wrong to ask it. "We have too. All devils are being summoned to take down this menace."
"I guess your right." Saji looked at Kiba with a more serious demeanor "Do you know who killed Issei?"
Kiba sighed "I'm not even sure he's dead. But Shalba I know is dead this time." Saji lagged behind as Kiba looked back and saw there were tears in Saji's eyes. "You…"
"He was my goal. I work as hard as I can, every day pushing myself. That's why I was able to do so well in the match against Agares. I endure hard training because I thought if he could then I had to. If I have to kill them all of Issei then I will."
"Don't do something stupid and die Saji." Both Kiba and Saji turned to see Sona standing behind them. "Come Saji we have work to deal with then we can deal with other things."
Saji fell in line behind Sona as she looked over at Kiba. "My Peerage has been given orders from Serafall to protect Lilith and evacuate civilians."
"Were you able to talk to Rias?" Kiba asked as everything so far has been useless.
Sona shook her head "She locked uptight not responding to me. But I called someone who is much better for the situation at hand."
Kiba wondered who it could be as Sona and Saji left while he made his way back to the room with everyone else. Inside the TV was on showing the evacuation of children from the capital. "Oppai Dragon will come and beat that monster." One of the children said as he was holding onto one of the many toys. All of the other children rallied around as they all started talking "Oppai dragon!" "Come quick." The children believed that even tho not many knew he was missing that he would save them.
"The children are stronger than they appear." Kiba turned his head to the side as his eyes were wide seeing that Sairaorg Bael was standing there. "The children believe in him. I'm here to see Rias." Sairaorg said as he left to go to Rias's room.
Standing in front of her room Sairaorg put his hand on the door "I'm coming in Rias." He pushed the door open and when he walked in he saw her sitting at her desk hunched over. She looked over at Sairaorg and her eyes were red as if she had been crying for a long time. "To think you have fallen this far."
"Why are you here?" Rias asked as she wasn't in a state where she would be seen.
"Sona Sitri called me in private. Nobody knows I'm here." Rias turned away from him as she went back to doing her own thing. "We have work to do there's a crisis in the underworld. We need a group like yours full of strong people to help and show that we are not helpless in times like these."
"And" Rias's voice was muffled as her head was down.
"To think you have fallen this low, you were supposed to be a better woman for a man like him. And yet here you are crying over the fact that he is missing."
Rias grabbed hold of a pillow that was next to her and threw it at Sairaorg, he didn't bother to dodge it as he grabbed hold of it. "I don't care about a world with Ise. He's the most importing thing I had… and now he's gone." Tears were flowing down her face as she spoke.
Sairaorg took the pillow and threw it back at her hitting her on the head, thankfully it was only a pillow as he raised his voice. "He kept standing in the face of adversity. And yet you are this far down. You don't know if he's even dead but your acting like it. But right now you need to stand up and fight and keep going forward just like he does." Rias was dumbstruck from hearing that "Do you really think he is dead?"
Rias blinked her eyes hearing all of this. "Tell me Rias it's no secret that the two of you intimate. But do you really think he's dead after being with you?" Rias didn't know how to respond but Sairaorg saw all he needed as he laughed. "He's a massive pervert THE OPPAI DRAGON. It explains why the kids love him so much." Sairaorg moved towards the door "I will be on the battlefield and I expect to see the Oppai Dragon's comrades there."
Meanwhile down in the basement of the castle, Vali and his group were held up in a room. Being traitors and terrorists didn't leave them many places to hide. But the Gremory family was the only one to take them in these trying times. The door to the room they were in opened as a small old man with a pipe and a staff entered the room. It was Sun Wukong, he took the pipe out of his mouth a moved over to Vali. His staff glowed green as he poked Vali in the chest with it.
After a moment Vali began to puke as a large black blob of crud came up. Wukong looked at it as he pulled out a jar and used some magic to move the crud into the jar. As he put the lid on its chains and seals appeared all around it sealing it uptight. "Most of the curse is gone. You should be able to fight off the rest of it with no problem. To think that Bikou called me to take help the Vanishing dragon." Sun Wukong laughs at the fact.
"So will Vali recover?" Bikou asked not knowing what was left of the curse.
"He has extremely high levels of demonic powers, and I just removed a large portion of it. He should be able to fight off the rest of it."
Vali looked at Sun Wukong "You have my gratitude first. With this, I can fight."
Wukong shook his head "Once a Battle manic always once. I just lifted part of the curse, try to get rid of it before fighting." Shook his head getting ready to leave the room.
"Where are you going now, old man?" Bikou asked.
"I'm merely on an errand right now with a quick detour. Sakra works me to the bone for such an old person like me."
"Sakara is connected to Cao Cao isn't he?" Vali asked, "The meeting between Sakra and the Youkai was just too convenient."
Wukong smiled hearing that "No clue, I'm just his vanguard. I don't bother with probing his brain nor do I care to know what he is thinking. All I know is he is watching, but Hades has gone too far. What of your opposite, the red dragon?"
Vali shook his head. "I don't know. We tried to summon him but that gate snapped closed twice with two dragon kings and me trying to summon him."
Wukong stroked his beard hearing this "That is interesting, something overpowering the call of two dragon kings." He walked out the door "I have work to do. Don't need to keep Yu-long waiting outside too long."
Vali looked at Wukong as he was leaving. "I'm sorry."
Wukong looked back and said "Don't apologize ass dragon. Just deal with everything as you have been.
Bikou started laughing as he heard that "Please don't call me that. Albion is already having issues with that name."
"The Red attracts the hearts of people, while White attracts the hearts of the exiles." Wukong looked at all the members in the room. "Whether you like to admit it or not the two of you are opposites in more ways than one."
Kiba followed Sun Wukong out of the basement as he saw Grayfia preparing. She had her hair tied back into one large braid unlike her normal split two. Instead of her normal maid outfit, she had on a black battle outfit more akin to Xenovia's but more modest as it amplified her body. "Grayfia are you going to the battlefield?" Kiba asked her
She nodded "Yes, the Jabberwocky is advancing towards the capital. And Sirzechs cant go out so we must stall it for as long as possible." She walked over to Kiba and handed him a piece of paper. "Give this to Rias. It's information from Sirzechs and the Governor General."
He looked at it as he saw the devil script as the words Base and Ajuka Beelzebub "Is this?" He knew it was rude to read it but considering the circumstances it was the best route.
"Yes, it's Beelzebub's current location. He might be able to location Issei, so take the girls and speak with him." She smiled seeing that Kiba had a better chance of finding his best friend. "I will not allow my brother in law to go missing. Take Rias and protect her, she needs to get back on her feet. She needs to show that she is the next generation of devils." When Kiba heard that he was somewhat fearful for Issei as Grayfia was very strict.
It was late at night as Kiba and the five girls were in the human world. The town was somewhat abandoned as there was a large building near the train station. They looked at the building that Beelzebub was using as a hideout as if it was a shot of hope. When they entered the building they saw a handful of people working the lobby. The thing is they were humans as Kiba wasn't sensing any demonic energy coming from them.
As they walked through the lobby everybody was pulling their phones out and pointed their cameras at them. "Look this group is all devils. And their power levels are insane."
They walked up to the receptionist as she looked at them. "I'm sorry about the commotion." The woman said "Beelzebub is waiting for your group on the roof. Please follow me." She stood up from her desk and escorted them to the elevator.
As they rode up the elevator they made their way to the roof. She escorted them into a large garden on the roof and stopped near a large fountain. She bowed and pointed towards the large building as she left heading back down the elevator.
Out from the building, a voice was heard " Never thought I would see the Gremory group here."
"Lord Ajuka." Rias stepped forward.
"I've been informed of the situation. You were dragged into a situation that you have been in normally. But you're coming here for a reason."
Rias nodded "I'm hoping you can find Ise."
"That's not out of the realm of possibilities." Rias was given a shred of hope as Ajuka spoke up "But first we need to deal with our guest."
They turned around and saw a group of strong devils standing there "To think that the imposter Maou is hiding in the human world."
"Don't forget about me." A familiar voice was heard from behind the group as a familiar man with white hair. "Pleasure to meet you Ajuka Beelzebub. I'm Siegfried of the Hero Faction. And these gentlemen here are some of the staff from the previous Maou faction who just so happen to be cooperating with us the Hero faction."
"I'm aware of who you are, a former warrior of the church. Once a top-ranking warrior of the church, your name came across the threat lists of the alliance more than once, Chaos edge Sieg. So what business do you have with me? As you can see I already have invited guests that you so rudely interrupted."
"Then I'll be quick." Siegfried said with a calm demeanor "I'm here to make an alliance with you." Everyone was shocked to hear that from him as Ajuka just looked at him without moving. "You may be one of the four Satan's but you have a different ideology compared to Sirzechs Lucifer along with your power."
"I am the head of the technology section of the four satan. I have denied many of Sirzech's request over the years. So I guess looking from the outside it would seem as if I'm against Sirzech's ideals. This game we are working on here is one of my hobbies."
"Your hobbies have caused us some trouble in the past." Siegfried tried to keep calm knowing that Ajuka's simplest of things have caused plenty of trouble. "But you are a devil who can compete against Sirzechs Lucifer. And with your irregular powers if you were to join with us then we can't ask for anything more than that."
Ajuka thought about it for a moment "It might be funny to see how Sirzechs would react if I were to become a terrorist and oppose everything I worked so hard to build."
"We will provide you with all the information and research reports of anything you want. I can even guarantee you reports on something that would be worth your while."
Ajuka nodded hearing that as he closed his eyes. "Information and research from the Khaos Brigade does seem charming." He opened his eyes and looked at Siegfried "But you have nothing I want."
Siegfried wasn't surprised that the negotiations had failed. The other devils around Siegfried however weren't so happy about it. "Why not?" One of them asked as they started raising their powers.
"I get to focus on my hobbies because of Sirzechs. We understand each other and he considers what I do. Sirzechs and I have a long-standing relationship, the only person in this world so I can call a friend. I became a Maou because he did, and that's why I develop things for our world."
"I told you." The one devil looked over to his peers "Him and Sirzechs need to be purged. They are in control for their own purpose. This fake needs to be wiped out and replaced with the true Maou."
"That's not the first time I've heard that." Ajuka said "But are you referring to the government or me? Your worlds are filled with anger and there is no class in them. So I find you quite boring."
"Are you making a fool of us Ajuka?" One of the devils shouted out.
"You have done that to yourself. But looks as if I have to do my job as a Maou and eliminate those who stand in the way of peace."
"FUCK YOU." All the devils powered up to the maximum as they were releasing large amounts of power. A couple of them were outputting power that was on levels of ultimate class that would be fatal to Kiba or any of the girls if they were to get hit by it.
"You idiots came here knowing full well of my powers? And yet you think your demonic powers would work against me." Ajuka was manipulating a small green magic circle in his hand as it faded away. "Or are you just that dumb? Anyways it matters not."
One devil threw a blast of demonic power at Ajuka as a gust of wind pushed it back towards him. The ball split into hundreds of smaller balls as it crashed into him. The balls pushed through his body cracking bones tearing through organs and rupturing blood vessels as he slumped over as blood pooled in his mouth. "How the.."
"This is boring." Ajuka snapped his fingers as out of the floor boots appeared around the rest of the devils. The boots were locked around their feet as armor formed around them. Soon the armor started to fold in on itself as screams of pain came from them. Soon their screams were drowned out as the helmets formed as the rest of their bodies were crushed in a matter of moments. "Now then Seigfried, your help is gone what do you plan to do?"
Seigfried shrugged seeing that he was now all alone. "I still have an Ace, but I'm thinking about retreating.
"Oh?" Ajuka said as he saw Kiba was letting off murderous intent. "The Gremory Knight looks as if he wants to fight you. How about you fight him then? This building will survive attacks from your power levels."
"Yuuto." Rias called out worried about what was going to happen.
"I'll be fighting." Kiba summoned his sword as a thought crossed his mind from Issei. 'This world is getting to be weird. And I get the feeling that something is going to happen that nobody is going to like. So just protect the girls if that happens.' Kiba pointed his sword at Siegfried "Because of your group my best friend is missing in the gap. And because of that, it sounds like a good reason for you to die."
Seigfried started laughing hearing that "That's an interesting pressure you're letting out." Four arms came out of his back as swords appeared in all of his hands. "Come and show me that resolve."
Kiba got close to Seigfried as he swung his sword as Seigfried blocked it. Seigfried narrowed his eyes as he knew the rules of this fight. "If you score a critical hit on me you win. Your skills have improved that much. My only option is to kill all of you." Seigfried shoved Kiba backward as he reached into his pocket as he pulled a gun with a long needle on it as he shoveled the needle in his neck. "This is something we would have shared with you. But with the help of Shalaba blood, we made a doping drug for sacred gears."
"So you plan on boosting your Sacred gear then."
"If we infuse the power of a pure devil into a sacred gear have you ever wondered what the results would be? But naturally, I should be able to beat you with Gram. I am chosen by this sword but it's also a curse. I trust you understand what I'm talking about."
Seigfried dropped all of his swords but Gram as they stuck in the ground. His arms retracted as he stuck the needle in his next and pulled the trigger. His body started morphing as his muscles started gaining mass as he turned into an abomination. "Chaos Drive." Seigfried's voice deepened. His arms came back out now even stronger as they picked
"To think humans have made such things." Ajuka said, seeing Seigfried.
Kiba swapped his holy demonic sword to a Holy sword as he created a wall of knights. Sending his knights forward Kiba followed at the end. Pillars of Ice encapsulated the knights as Kiba used them as a stepping stone getting into the air. Seigfried swung gram as all of the pillars shatter with ease. A wave of destructive aura similar to Durandal as it flooded the area. As Kiba descended he felt the aura hit him as large cuts appeared all over his body. Seigfried reached up grabbing Kiba's foot as he threw him down on the ground while slicing with gram at his stomach as he cratered the ground.
A large gash appeared on his stomach as blood oozed out. It felt as if he had just been run over by a truck as he didn't know if it was the aura of the sword weighing down on him or if his bones had been broken. Kiba did the best he could to stand up as Seigfried laughed "For someone with such low defense I'm surprised you're not dead yet."
"Yuuto!' Rias screamed out as he stood up. Kiba was fully aware of everything as he struggled to get to his feet. Blood was pouring out of his arm as it was severed laying on the floor. His knees were weak and his legs were giving out. His sword changed into a blade of fire as he pressed it up to the stump of his arm cauterizing it.
Seigfried tapped his sword on the ground as two small pillars of ice came out of the ground piercing through his thighs. "No!' Asia screamed out as she pointed her hands towards Kiba as a weak healing aura flowed to Kiba doing little to nothing. Kiba dropped his sword as he reached into his pocket and grabbed one of the Phenex tears pouring it on himself as the pain faded away.
"To think the Gremory Group is so weak from the same group from a few days ago. But yet you can even function know that Issei Hyoudou is dead and he died in vain. He and Shalba killed each other. There's no other reason as to why Shalba disappeared as he would have started his war. Once again the Red Dragon has failed to think ahead."
"NO MATTER THE ODDS." Kiba moved forward breaking the ice in his legs as he summoned a new Holy demonic sword. "If I can still fight I will! There is not backing down!" Kiba's shouts were more cries as he had to do everything he could.
"It's no use you are not the Red Dragon. You have your limits and talent cant save you from the fact that your just a reincarnated devil."
Kiba could feel that his body was already at his limit. But it didn't matter he had to push forward if he didn't he was just giving up. As Kiba moved forward the area was engulfed in a red light that broke through the darkness. Floating down in front of Kiba was a glowing red object blinding everyone from the intensity. It floated towards Kiba as he dropped his sword as he reached for it. The light died down as Kiba felt power rush through his body invigorating him. His legs stopped shaking as Ascalon formed in his hand as the light flood into Kiba as a form of power.
"A holy sword." Seigfried looked at it in his hand as everyone was in awe that Ascalon was here in the real world. "You can still walk?" Gram started to glow as if Seigfried was ready to launch an attack. Kiba stepped back bring Ascalon up ready to defend. But the blade did nothing as the hostility from the blade produced didn't do anything. "Gram is responding. To him? Is this a side effect of the Chaos Break?"
Raising his stump of an arm and pointed it towards Seigfried "Come, Gram! If you are choosing me then I will accept you."
Gram began to glow as it tried to wiggle its way out of Seigfried's hand. The sword yanked up as it pulled out of Seigfried's hand and flew into the ground "How is this possible. It's just his sword."
Kiba saw that his body was glowing green as Asia was touching his back as a warm feeling was in his arm as Ravel flames were warming his arm as Koneko was holding onto it. "Issei is here to help." Asia said as Kiba felt his arm reattach as feeling returned to his arm. Asia's hands moved over to his arm as she was healing the rest of his arm.
Rias held out her hand as she formed a ball of destruction. "Let's blow this enemy away." Rias had returned to a somewhat normal attitude seeing Ascalon. She threw her power of destruction as it hit his dragon arms breaking them.
Kiba reached down and grabbed hold of Gram as he pulled it out of the ground. Up from above a massive lightning bolt was forming as he looked up to see Akeno floating in the air. She had six fallen angel wings on her left side as she had a bracelet on that was shining with golden letters. "My fallen angel transformation. It makes my holy lightning much denser." She threw the bolt down at Seigfried 'Please come back to us Ise.' The bolt impacts Seigfried as it electrocuted him. His body sizzled as smoke wisped off his body as his body was limp.
Kiba walked over to Seigfried with both swords in hand. He thrust both swords into his chest piercing his lungs and went all the way through. "I'm.." With the rest of his strength, Kiba pulled up on both blades ripping them out of Seigfried killing him as his body crumbled turning to dust.
After the battle ended Ajuka was holding a large magic circle in his hand as he looked at the group. "His sword will do nicely as a location catalyst." Kiba looked at Ajuka wondering what he was going to do. "Put it in." Kiba did as instructed as the blade floated as Ajuka's magic circle went to work scanning the blade. "I guess this is the best time to talk about this. But before he went to Kyoto I had a look at his evil pieces, and four of the eight had mutated."
"Because of Triaina and his Crimson armor?" Rias asked
"I would assume they mutated in preparation for the next step of his power growth." The magic around the sword died down "And after the rating game it looks as if that speculation was confirmed." Ascalon floated back to Kiba "It will take some time to analyze this data."
"What you don't know where he might be?" Rias was looking for anything just as the other girls were.
"It looks as if he's in the gap. But where and putting together a search party to look into the gap will take some time. There's not many who can do that, Fabium's servants know a lot about searching that place." He formed a magic circle under them preparing to send them away "Anyways you need to get back to the underworld. It needs people like you. Just don't worry about your lover too much." They were engulfed in a green light as they were transported away.
When they arrived back at the Gremory castle they were greeted by Irina and Xenovia dressed in their battle clothes. On Xenovia's back was a weapon wrapped in a cloth that was engraved with magical letters from Heaven. The weapon had to be her Ex-Durandal that was repaired. Irina had a weapon on her hip as well. Xenovia looked at Rias "Anything thing on Issei?"
Rias shook her head "Beelzebub is looking for him."
"I see… Issei is going to want to see some breasts when he comes back." Xenovia was as blunt as she always was.
Irina pointed over to the TV as they had battle footage of plenty of people the monster. Large columns of ice formed around the monster as Serafall was twirling her wand around attacking the beast. Fire rained down as Tannin and other dragons had been pelting the beast as Yasaka had joined in the fight in her massive fox form battling the creature.
Metal boots were heard clanging on the floor as the door opened "There's still one more Jabberwocky." A familiar voice was heard as Rias looked over "Rossweisse"
"Yes, I have returned." Her face changed "I heard about Issei."
Ravel was looking at her phone during all of this as she looked up "The Khaos Brigade is attacking the Sitri group as they are evacuating civilians." Hearing that they left the mansion immediately to do what they did best.
Making their way into the capital city of Lilith they found that they were near a bridge. As they moved towards the position where Sona's group was last reported at. Nearing the area they saw Gasper waiting around as when he made eye contact he ran over to them "You're here! The Fallen angel people told me that you would be here."
"It's good to see you, Gasper." Rias said, "I'm looking forward to seeing how your powers have progressed."
Gasper looked over the group "Where's Issei?"
Koneko pointed down the bridged "Over there." Downrange there was a large black dragon spewing flames on any hostels they could see.
Making their way down the road they saw that there were very few cars on the road and nobody walking. "It's the Gremory Group!" The familiar voice of Tomoe.
Rias moved over to her as she was guarding a bus full of children. "So what happened?"
"We ran into the Hero faction as we were escorting the last of the people out. Unfortunately, this bus suffered some minor damage and we had to fight back."
She looked down the road to see how the battle was progressing as they saw a large wall of flesh grab hold of Saji's throat as he threw him into a building. Once he was done he moved over towards Sona who was on the ground trying to recover from an attack. He stepped on her as she let out a scream of agony as his foot pushed down on her. "I expected more from you as your team beat Agares. But yet all I see here are weaklings."
"You aimed your attacks at a bus full of children." Tsubaki yelled out as she was fighting Jeanne.
"I did tell him that he shouldn't do it. But he never listens." Jean created a wall of holy swords and sent them flying towards Tsubaki.
Kiba ran in with gram in hand as he grabbed ahold of Tsubaki and pulled her out of the way while swing gram shattering most of the swords and blocking the rest. "Would you mind stopping already?"
Jeanne saw the sword in his hand as his hand "Gram… Siegfried is…"
"I guess he was all talk if he lost to these guys." Heracles laughed seeing that Kiba had Gram.
"Careful now Heracles." The mist appeared behind Heracles as Georg appeared "We already lost two members so far."
Kiba made five of his knights appear as two of them rushed towards Heracles and Georg as the other three picked up Sona Tsubaki and Saji giving them room to fight. Heracles destroyed the two knight troopers with ease as Georg launched a large fireball towards Kiba. "You're as fast as the data says." With a swing of Gram, the sharpness of the blade sliced through the ball of fire causing it to fizzle out. "And just as strong. But to save your comrades while taking on three of us but only one of you. You're still under the shadow of the Red Dragon in the department, but still a terrifying Knight."
"I'm not the hero, and I'm fine with that. I know my role as the sword of Rias Gremory and I'm content with that."
Hearing that Xenovia and Irina headed towards Kiba. Xenovia unwrapped her blade as it looked nearly the same, but it gave off a denser aura than before. "My Durandal is looking even better than before."
"I have something as well!" Irina said as she unwrapped the blade she was carrying. She unraveled it showing off a very familiar blade as it was the same as Kiba's signature Holy-demonic sword. Irina smiled seeing Kiba's eyes looking at the blade "This is the mass-produced Holy demonic sword based on yours. It has some modifications so angels can wield it!"
Xenovia pointed her Ex-Durandal towards Jeanne "I had some debts to repay to Siegfried. But it looks as if you will be receiving them."
"Yes! Yes! Payback for Kyoto." Irina cheered on "I'll be in on it as well."
Akeno got close to them as the bracelet glowed and six wings popped out once again "She probably has 'that' so I think I'll join in."
Jeanne smiled "Three on one, and you know about 'that'. Sounds like fun. Balance Break." Behind her, a dragon made from swords appeared towering over her.
"With my Ex-Durandal having all the abilities of Excalibur it has an even greater power if I master it." Xenovia swung Ex-Durandal down, cratering the road sending dust and rocks everywhere as she and Irina went chasing after Jeanne.
"You need to learn how to use techniques! We lack technique types and you need to diversify." Kiba shouted.
"POWER!" Xenovia shouted out.
Kiba sighed hearing that as another voice was heard. "I've heard that the Hero faction was gathering so-called heroes who are seeking to fight against the supernatural… But all I see scum." Touching down next to Kiba was a man covered in golden fur cape.
"Sairaorg!" Rias called out to him
"I just got done with dealing with some of the remnants causing trouble. And then I see that you folks are here."
"So the next heir of Bael graces us with his talentless presence." Heracles scoffed at Sairaorg as his taunts continued "I hear you fight with your body because of your lack of powers. It's that first I've heard of such an unreasonable devil."
Sairaorg nodded "I've heard that you inherited the soul of hero Heracles."
"That's right." Heracles answered with pride as he boasted
Sairaorg moved in closer "Then I guess I heard wrong. Someone as weak as you cant be a hero."
Heracles wasn't happy to hear that as his pride had been deflated "I heard you got into a punching match with the Red Dragon. But even as you are now you can't beat me without the ironic Nemean Lion."
Sairaorg waved him off "No need for it."
"It's your funeral!" Heracles laughed as he jumped into the air. His hands gathered power from his sacred gear as he threw it at Sairaorg. Smoke and dust scattered everywhere as the road had exploded around Sairaorg. "And the defect died without even fighting back."
Sairaorg walked out of the crater with a small nick of blood dripping down his arm "Is that all of your power?"
"Don't you dare underestimate me!"
"My turn" Sairaorg dashed towards Hercules as he reared back his fist and sent it flying into Hercules' stomach. The one-punch send Hercules dropping to his knees as he was coughing up blood. The rest of the punch turned into a shockwave that rippled through the closest building destroying it. Sairaorg looked down at Hercules as he was holding his gut as he was trying to recover from the critical hit. "That punch was just as normal punch. The Red Dragon took many of those hits without flinching."
As Hercules stood up his body glowed as he made some distance between Sairaorg as he let off a salvo of missiles. Sairaorg didn't bother to dodge the missiles as he punched one of them sending it off course detonating off to the side.
Rossweisse put her hands out making a barrier blocking the stray missiles. "I learned how to increase my defensive capabilities through magic and the rook piece." The missiles detonated on her barrier as they did nothing unlike when they were in Kyoto.
"You can do it lion." "Do your best!" Sairaorg heard the children yelling out as he formed his barrier of touki as he got a laugh hearing the children.
As Sairaorg got close to Hercules he punched him in the face. Blood came out of his nose as Hercules held onto trying to stop the bleeding. "What is with that punch." Hercules pulled out a gun with an injector on it and put it to his neck.
He thought about it for a moment as Sairaorg looked at it. "What's wrong? Don't you want to use it? It should make your body stronger if you use it."
"Damn it!" Hercules shouted as he threw it aside as he rushed Sairaorg.
Sairaorg smiled as he sent a punch flying towards Hercules's chest sending him flying backward across the ground knocking him out.
Meanwhile, as Gasper was defending from attacks from Georg he looked back at Rias. "I'm sorry I'm not strong enough."
George sighed hearing Gasper's complaints "Unfortunately the late Red Dragon will not be saving you."
"But Issei is fighting the gigantic monster right." Gasper was shocked to hear that.
"Gasper, Ise is…." Rias tried to explain
"So you don't know?" Georg said "He's dead, he died fighting against Shalba. He most likely died a gruesome death from Samael's poison. Even Ophis and Vali were defeated by Samael, so makes you think he would survive it?"
Gasper tilted his head to the side as his body began to shake "Ise…. died?" He lifted his hand and pointed towards George as a low voice came out from him DIE Darkness spilled out from Gasper as it enveloped the ground and sky as it gave off a cold feeling sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"What the hell is this?" Georg shouted as the darkness crawled up the walls of the building making them disappear.
I WILL KILL YOU! SMASH YOU TILL NOTHING IS LEFT! It was a much deeper voice nothing akin to Gasper's voice.
"What did you turn into a servant Rias?" Sairaorg asked seeing the darkness.
"This is why house Vladi ignored him not because of his sacred gear. They knew about this power and that's why they discarded him because they feared him."
The darkness crawled towards Georg breaking all of his barriers "That's not magic!" Georg was becoming scared as the darkness crept towards him and nothing could stop it. A dark humanoid being crawled out from the darkness as it kept moving towards Georg as he threw Mist at it.
DEVOUR DEVOUR YOUR MAGIC AND MIST. THe creature began beating Georg as he tried to take out a vial of phoenix tear to heal his wounds. The shadow creature smashed Georg's hand crushing the bottle as the mist enveloped Georg moving him away.
The creature faded away along with all the darkness as Gasper fell to the floor as he was sleeping. Rias moved over to him holding him as she looked over to see how the fight with Jeanne was going.
Jeanne was holding a child with a sword pointed at the kid's throat. "I'm not scared Oppai dragon is going to come to save us."
"No no... The Red Dragon is dead." Jeanne said taunting the kid.
"I saw it in a dream, we all did." The kid said as he raised up his index finger "Draw a circle and push in the middle, Zoom Zoom Iyaan!" The kid did it at the same time as it sparkled ever so slightly.
Everything changed a crack in the sky opened up as even the strongest fighters now felt weak as music was heard all across the capital. "There is an Oppai Loving dragon Living in the edge of a certain Country." The theme song to Issei's tv show Oppai Dragon was heard all across the capital as out of the crack a head appeared as Great Red floated out casting a massive shadow over the city.
Standing atop Great Red's head Issei peered out into the city seeing a massive black monster that was terrorizing the city. With his eagle eye vision, he saw that there were some people gathered around it fighting it. "Looks as if the Lucifer peerage is fighting the monster. I see Grayfia and a Samauri guy even Enku is there."
[There all experienced fighters with abnormal powers.]
"Yet it's not dead." Issei said as the eyes on the monster looked up towards them.
A Grunt was heard from Great Red [Are you serious?] Ddraig asked as Issei was feeling power flow into him on a massive scale. [Great Red says that monster glared at him and he doesn't like it. So he's giving you power right now and he wants you to and I quote make it an offer it can't refuse.]
Issei laughed hearing that as his body was being supercharged. Feeling that the power donation had been cut off he jumped off Great Red's head laughing like a mad man "Even Great Red knows about that."
As he floated down he landed near the Lucifer ground as they looked at him. Grayfia looked at him "Issei is that you?"
He looked at Grayfia and saw her in her skin-tight bodysuit. "Yeah…." He looked up from her outfit to the monster "Think you get that thing in the air?"
"It's an easy task for the Lucifer group. Why do you want it in the air?" She asked
Issei pointed at it with the boosted gear as the monster looked down at him [WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!] "Great Red wants me to make it an offer it can't refuse."
Grayfia pointed at the legs "Souji, cut off the Jabberwocky leg."
"Yes, mama." A blade was drawn from the holster as a man in a traditional samurai outfit that looked familiar dashed towards the Jabberwocky. There was a moment of silence as one of the legs fell over as the monster shifted forward. Out of the sliced leg came out small black tentacles as it tried to connect with its leg again. "Everyone get it into the air." Different forms of magic were sent to the underside of the beast as it began to propel it into the air. A pillar of Ice shoved the monster into the air at the end so it launched it into the air clearing the city skyline.
[BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!] [BOOST!]
[The Forbidden power] Issei smiled as he put his hands forward as the chest plate on his armor opened up as energy was forming making a massive crimson glow in the area.
Pointing at the monster "You have been summoned here to the court of the Crimson King." Issei said as he felt the energy had finished forming. "Ye Guilty."
[LONGINUS SMASHER!] The massive pool of energy was dumped into a beam of red energy that rocketed into the sky impacting the Jabberwocky. It flailed around as bit by bit its body broke down disintegrating till nothing was left of it. When the beam dissipated nothing was left of the monster as the sky was dyed a crimson hue shining a crimson light down on the city.
Seeing that the monster was dealt with Great Red made another crack in the sky as he floated towards it. Zoom Zoom Iyaaan. Zoom Zoom Iyaaan.
[I didn't hear that. Nothing at all.]
"Even Great Red is all for it. You need to relax Ddraig." Issei said as he felt something land on his shoulder as he looked over seeing Ophis was sitting there.
He saw that she was pointing to his right "To the west."
"What's to the West?" Issei asked her not knowing what she was pointing towards.
"Asia and Irina are over there." Issei was somewhat surprised that she had remembered any of the girls. Issei extended out his wings and took flight following Ophis' directions.
After a few minutes of flight time, Issei saw a group of people at the end of a bridge. Ophis pointed down to the group as Issei descended to land. The metallic sound of his armor from his boots clacking on the ground turned heads as all of the girls looked at him like a deer in the headlights. "Hello, long time no see." Setting Ophis down he looked around seeing that Hercules was on the floor and Jeanne was shocked to see him.
[I think you broke them.]
"I thought that was months ago." Issei lowered the helmet as they saw his face "Yes? No? It's only been three days."
Crimson flashed in front of him as Rias latched onto him as the rest of the girls snapped out of their trance. "Ise!" Soon he was smothered in the ladies as they were weighing down on him all wanting something from him.
"You're alive?" Saji asked as Sona was surprised to see him standing there "You were able to survive in the gap?"
"Issei Issei Issei Issei Issei" Asia kept repeating as she was grabbing onto whatever she could.
Rossweisse looked at him "So you are safe, but do you have a body under your armor from being in the gap?"
He lifted part of his arm as the armor faded away revealing his normal arm "Yep." The armor regenerated "There's still plenty of space if you want a hug." He tempted her knowing it was almost pointless.
Rias squeezed her arms around Issei as she looked up to him "Please don't leave me like that."
"I didn't plan on this to begin with." Issei said as he heard screaming in the distance as Kiba was walking towards them with a child in his hand.
"Welcome back Ise." Kiba said with a smile on his face as he set the child down. "Thanks to your entrance I was able to save this child. Never thought you would return with Great Red."
Issei unburied himself from the girls as Jeanne spoke up as she was sitting on the floor. "Nobody thought you would return alive from a fight with Shalba, you are a monster."
Issei smiled as he looked over at her "Helps that Shalba is a weakling who died a gruesome death. I cut off his arm when he thought he was winning with his full house. But then I shoved Ascalon into his mouth and splattered his brains all over the gap, turns out I had the Royal flush." Issei looked over to Kiba "Speaking of where is Ascalon?"
Holding his hand out, Kiba made a magic circle as the golden clawed blade formed floating. Issei reached out for it, grabbing ahold of it. [BLADE] It retracted back into the gauntlet. "Thanks for that, Great Red took it from me and threw it out of the gap." He looked over at Jeanne as she had a gun with a needle pointed at her neck as she pulled the trigger injecting a liquid in her.
Holy swords formed around her creating a new body around her as her legs were morphed into a snake-like creature. "So much power!" Jeanne shouted as her body morphed.
Issei walked towards Jeanne as he put his hands together "Bilingual." He was moved into another space "So Jeanne what do you plan on doing?"
A cute girly voice was heard "I was thinking about destroying the road and escaping in the sewers."
Issei nodded his head as he ran up to her and with an open palm hit her in the chest between her breasts "Dress Break." Her clothes ripped apart as every strand was separated and the swords around her flew off in all directions. She fell to the ground as she covered herself with her arms.
As he walked back to the group he heard Koneko "You're the worst."
"You borrowed Ophis power and Great Red's flesh to rework your body!" Rossweisse shouted at Issei as she looked up from Ophis. "I never thought you were dead, but to think you survived from doing something even worse. That is far beyond anything I could imagine."
"Glad you think so highly of me." Issei smiled hearing that.
"The power to attract the strong is a truly scary thing. I decided to come here to see how the monster was going to destroy the capital, but seeing you appearing with Great Red." A familiar annoyance was heard. Issei turned around seeing Cao Cao holding his spear looking down on his allies. "You surpassed them in such a short time with your group's abnormal growth. But the fact that you survived Shalba with that knife covered in Samael's blood."
Issei laughed hearing that "Shalba wasn't too bright when it came to close-quarters combat. He tried slashing me with that knife but he lost his arm for it. And after I splattered his brains over the gap I received my reward of having my body painfully reworked."
"So you were reborn with Great Red's flesh. Something like this isn't luck." Cao Cao wasn't happy to hear that.
The air shimmered in front of them as a black wave appeared. A black cloak with a scythe appeared as a clown mask. "It hasn't been too long since our last appearance."
"Why are you here Pluto." Cao Cao asked.
"Orders from Hades. He wants Ophis at all costs." The glow of his eyes from behind his mask as they locked onto Ophis.
Issei opened his mouth "My…"
He was quickly interrupted "I will be your opponent Pluto." Shimmering white armor landed next to Issei as Vali the battle freak appeared. "So you have returned, Hyoudou Issei just as I thought." He looked towards Pluto "I wanted to take my anger out on you back in that artificial dimension but choosing between you or the Hero faction was a hard choice. So I let Azazel and others deal with Hades. With them dealt with, all I had left was the Hero faction but now all there's left but the Gremory group dealt with them. So all I have left is you, Pluto."
"I heard you sent Fenrir to Hades right before I arrived here. A beast that can kill a god is a serious threat, a terrifying assault."
"That's why we captured Fenrir for insurances."
"Very well then Lucifer, I guess I will have to deal with you then."
Energy began pouring off Vali " Unlike Hyoudou who looks as if he has convinced the hosts of the past to work with him, I am much different. I will show you the power of the Juggernaut drive when you seal off the past Possessors." Vali's armor was shining brightly as he extended his wings as he radiated demonic energy as the jewels on his armor were radiating large amounts of light.
{"I, who is about to awaken, Am the White Dragon Emperor who will take the law down to the darkness. I walk the road of domination with infinite destruction and by piercing through the imaginary dream. I shall become a pure Emperor of White Dragon And I shall have you obey the silvery-white illusions and the perfect evil ways!"}
{JUGGERNAUT OVERDRIVE!}
Issei had to back away from him as the energy around him was crushing things around him. As Vali walked towards Pluto the floor around him was warping around him. " My Empireo Juggernaut overdrive is similar to the Juggernaut drive, but you will be the first to taste the strength of it."
Pluto disappeared as he came swinging his scythe at Vali. He raised his arm as the scythe impacted with it as the sound of metal shattering as Pluto's scythe broke with one swing. Reeling in the shock of his weapon breaking Vali sent an uppercut towards Pluto knocking him into the air.
Vali jumped into the air and reached forward with his right hand "Compress."
{Compression Divider!} {Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide Divide} The space around pluto was collapsing as his body was getting smaller.
"Such power." Pluto was exerting power as if he was pushing on an invisible box.
Vali closed fist as Pluto was shrinking more and more "Perish" Vali said with no remorse as Pluto turned into nothing as air rushed towards the void filling it. Vali reverted to his standard Balance breaker as he was breathing hard.
"The heavenly dragons are truly terrifying." Sairaorg said as he watched on
"I guess I was right not to let you use the Juggernaut drive in the Artificial dimension." Cao Cao remarked seeing the power that Vali unleashed.
"The Juggernaut drive excels in destruction but comes with the danger of your life force and going out of control. What I just showed you is what is possible when you minimize all of that and it can even be strengthened. Your greatest weakness Cao Cao is that you failed to kill me when you had the chance."
Cao Cao let that sink in for a moment as he looked towards Issei "I want to confirm something, what are you Hyoudou Issei?" Issei thought about it for a moment about what his new form would be classified as "Just as I thought. Your upgrades no longer make you a Heavenly Dragon but you're not a Pure Dragon or a Dragon God."
Sairaorg moved next to Issei "How about Oppai Dragon?"
Issei shrugged his shoulders hearing that "That sounds about right."
Cao Cao laughed hearing that "Something that simple and easy to understand." He pointed his spear at the three of them "So who will it be? Hyoudou? Vali or even Bael? Maybe everyone at once? Three on one would be reckless for me"
Vali came close to Issei and spoke softly "You remember his seven treasures?" Issei nodded "Good, the last three are the ability to fly, creating doubles similar to Kiba Yuuto's Balance Breaker, and the last one allows his spheres to cause large scales of destruction."
"Okay." Vali was getting ready to walk away as Issei spoke up again "Look down." Peering down he saw an all too familiar object that was suspended in stasis like field hovering in his hand.
Issei stepped forward taking on the challenge "So my opponent will be the Red Dragon. Finally going to use that full power crimson armor."
"Of course." [Our opponent is the ultimate Longinus. If you can't beat him here then you can't call yourself the Red Dragon Emperor.] "If you say so"
["I, who is about to awaken, Am the Red Dragon Emperor who holds the truth of the king up high Holding the infinite hopes and unbreakable dreams and walking the path of righteousness I will become an Emperor of Crimson Dragon And I will lead you to the Path of Heaven, glowing in deep crimson light!"] The armor shifted its shape and color.
[Cardinal Crimson Full Drive!]
Cao Cao tapped his spear on the ground "Hatsutei Ratana" Orbs appear as one of them flew under his feet lifting him into the air.
[Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost]
Issei stuck his hand out pointing it towards Cao Cao as he retreated into the sky into the buildings behind him. Releasing the shot it rocketed up towards Cao Cao as he sent one of the orbs down to intercept the blast. When it impacted the explosion rocked the buildings as glass rained down on them. As the glass settled Issei extended his wings and moved into the air getting closer to Cao Cao.
[Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost] "Dragon Shot!"
"Kahabatei Ratana" Clones similar to Kiba's Balance breaker appeared from the orb as they got in front of his attack acting as a wall for him.
Issei flapped his wings sending him flying backward as a spear came in on his left side. The tip of the spear nicked the arm destroying it. Ddraig quickly regenerated it as Issei looked over to Cao Cao "Funny how you use an ability that you looked down on."
Cao Cao shrugged "Maybe. But it's just as I said my abilities still need tuning. So they can grow into anything."
'Full power Ddraig' [Star Sonic Booster!] Issei closed the gap as when he got close to Cao Cao he simply popped in more of his clones as shields. Issei breathed in a huge amount of air when he exhaled a massive ball of fire towards Cao Cao as the clones were shattered with ease.
Raising the spear as it glowed yellow as he swiped it down. A massive wave of holy energy sliced into the buildings around as it impacted with the flames. Cao Cao's holy energy dissipated. "Amazing. The rumor of your True Queen is true. My attacks can't get a clean hit on you. But you can't hurt me either. If your attacks would hit me then I would be finished. But compared to Vali you're still lacking, Balinayaka Ratana." A black orb flew towards Issei as he thickened his armor as he blocked it while he sent him flying back into a building.
Issei fell through buildings as he crashed into a toy store. Covered in toys of the Oppai dragon show he saw a figure of Rias laying on top of him. He tried moving his arms as it hurt trying to move then as the armor around his arms was gone.
Cao Cao came into the toy shop "My Seven Treasures are incomplete, right now I have a hard time using highly destructive powers." He looked down seeing Issei playing with some of the Oppai Dragon toys. "So are you done fighting? Is this the limit of your crimson armor?"
Issei shrugged "I have a question for you then. Could you win against Vali in his new form?"
"No… He killed pluto instantly. Calling him a super devil is somewhat of an exaggeration. The difference in power output he could take me down." Cao Cao admitted.
"You wanna see something cool?" Issei said as turned the doll of Rias to face him. "This doll has an Oppai beam."
"And that has what to do with any of this?"
Issei placed a piece of metal on the chest of the doll. [Transfer] Once the power was transferred he pushed the button as the metal went flying towards Cao Cao.
"Are you mad?" He moved the spear to block the attack as it broke apart as a liquid flew out and splattered Cao Cao in the eye. "Liquid?" He asked as a moment later he began to cough up blood as some even came out of his eye. Cao Cao dropped to the floor as his body shivered as he was vomiting blood. "This is…"
Issei unburied himself from the toys "It's Samael's blood. The same stuff Shalba tried to use on me." Cao Cao looked up at Issei as he was sitting on the counter "We went back to the fight and picked up the blade and forged this one-trick pony."
"My eye!" Cao Cao growled "My eye of Medusa."
"Yes, Medusa was turned into a creature of snakes for breaking an oath. Samael's blood is poisonous to snakes and she was no different. And now you suffer a toned down version of the curse."
Coughing up some blood he wiped his mouth "To think you would use such a method."
"Well you used it first, it's only fair." Issei smiled "And do tell whoever has Perseus's soul that Zeus will be looking for him. Taking Medusa's eye will not bode well for him."
"Guess I have no choice then." Cao Cao said as the tip of his spear opened up "O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God. Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction. You. Announce the will, and turn into a glow." A faint glow came from the tip as the light died down. "It's not activating?" He questioned himself seeing that nothing was happening. "I see, so the spear has picked your Dream over my ambition."
"So how is that curse, Cao Cao." Vali's voice was heard as he entered the toyshop through a window.
Cao Cao looked towards showing that the medusa eye had mostly corroded away. "Your rival is the best Vali."
"I have dibs on that title. Why did the Truth Idea fail? You have used it before, so why did it activate then fail." Vali asked
"Truth Idea is the will of God from the Bible. It's Will sucks the ambition of the holder and responds to how strong the opponent is. It can do many things but in the end, the will choose the Red Dragon Dream over me."
"So the spear chose Hyoudou Issei and not you. I guess you didn't listen when I told you that you would need to take down the two of us before we got out of your range. So now only I have the right to defeat him and that crimson armor."
Cao Cao laughed hearing Vali as he spoke quietly "I wanted to beat him."
Issei was kinda creeped out hearing this conversation. Why is that so many guys were wanting to fight him, he understood why but they were just taking it to the limit. "My friend here sure is popular." Around the corner came Sairaorg and Kiba.
"Two heavenly dragons, The King of Lions and Holy Demonic Sword." Cao Cao was muttering "Maybe attacking you was our loss. To think we lost so easily." The mist appeared next to Cao Cao as Georg appeared but it was clear that just like Cao Cao he was missing an arm and one of his arms. The skin on his left leg is black as his free arm puts a hand on CaoCao "George…."
"We made a miscalculation." George said looking down at Cao Cao.
"We will be eliminated if we get involved with these two just like Shalba." The tip of the spear shined brightly. Sairaorg ran towards them and punched where they were. His fist tore into the light. He passed through them as the light disappeared as they were gone.
Issei sat there as his arms were limp. "Don't feel so bad about it. From the condition, they were in I doubt they will be a problem any time soon." Sairaog pointed out.
{Ddraig will you be sleeping for a while?}
[Yeah, Great Red put a huge strain on us. Sorry about that.]
"Vali, everyone is here." Issei looked up seeing a new person standing next to him. "It went just as we planned." It was Arthur dressed in his suit.
"Good."
Arthur turned to look at Kiba "Kiba Yuuto. It looks as you are the opponent that I have been looking for to have a duel with Collbrande. When Vali settles his battle with Hyoudou Issei, I wish to have a battle with you. Until then don't get mixed up in things."
Kiba smiled at the prospect of having a battle with Arthur as he and Vali left. Issei looked over at Kiba "So uh about those words. Those were Siegfrieds right?"
"Oh these, they were. Some things happened and I'm now in possession of them after we all defeated Siegfried."
"I see."
"I have to get back to my servants." Sairaorg moved towards the window "I'll be taking my leave now."
"I'll go call everyone up here, get some rest Ise." Kiba said as he went to leave.
"Tell Asia that my arms are broken." He tried lifting them but it hurt too much to do it.
[That was a good fight you had. You matched his counters quite well.]
'Oh?'
[You should be fine for a while.]
'I know we're tired but you sound almost dead.'
[I used too much power during that upgrade. It's going to take some time to recuperate… the Boosted Gear will work with me being asleep for a while. It's been fun Issei…...] Snoring was heard as Issei closed off the link between the two of them.
"Ddraig is exhausted because he used his powers in the dimensional gap, now he's sleeping." Issei looked up and saw Ophis standing there.
"Do you want to go home? Now with everyone?" He asked.
"I will go to the Red Dragon's house." She said putting on a smiley face just like a little girl would. Seeing that Issei thought about it she wasn't an evil leader. She was just a dragon who was lonely from her time in solitude. Smiling hearing that Issei nodded his head as he slumped down sliding down the counter to the floor as he fell asleep.
Early in the morning the next day Issei Rias Ravel Asia and Xenovia were in one of the many rooms of the house. There was a magic circle on the floor that Issei and Rias standing on the edges of while Asia and Xenovia were standing in between them. In Issei's hand, he had one bishop and knight piece. Rias put her hand forward as the runes on the floor glowed as Asia and Xenovia did the same thing having a red aura around them. Holding his hand out he pushed some demonic power into the two pieces in his hand as they floated as crimson outlined them. Soon the aura around them began swapping hues as the runs on the floor died down the pieces fell into his hand. "Alright," Rias said with a smile "The two of you now belong to Issei now."
Asia ran over Issei as she collided with him as he groaned from the impact. "Ise Ise Ise Ise." She jumped up and down holding onto him as she was hyper excited.
Issei wrapped an arm around her as he moved towards Rias and Xenovia. He held his hand out dumping the two evil pieces in Rias' hand as Xenovia looked at him "Don't forget about me we're going to have all kinds of fun."
"Just don't break everyone or thing." Issei said as he looked down at Asia. "I have something else to deal with then I'll be back." She let go of him as he walked over to Ravel and stood behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. The area around them was enveloped in an orange hue as the two of them were engulfed in fire.
On the other side, they were standing in a large fancy room. "You did check in with your mother right?"
Ravel turned around "Of course I did!" She thought about stomping her foot down in making a statement but did against it.
Issei patted her on the head "I'm just messing with you."
"Awww well aren't you two cute together." A female voice was heard coming towards them. They saw an older woman who looked just like Ravel just aged up wearing a red dress.
"Mother." Ravel called out
"Lady Phenex." Issei said, giving her a slight nod of the head.
She waved her right hand at the two of them as she snapped her fingers as a similar magic circle to the one earlier was made under the two of them. "Let's skip the formalities and get onto why you're here." She stood at the edge of the circle as Issei backed away from Ravel.
Issei pulled out his other Bishop piece as Ravel was glowing an orange outline. The two of them channeled their powers as the orange and crimson hues were swapped. Once the trade was finished Issei handed the bishop over to Ravel's mother "Thank you for doing this so early. I would have come sooner but things happened."
Lady Phenex put her hand in front of her mouth covering part of her smile she had "It's quite alright. This was bound to happen sooner or later. It's not as if my only daughter likes the thought of being around you." She teased Ravel as her face was turning red "Anyways I have a feeling we will be seeing your mother soon enough based on the future outcomes."
"Very well then." Issei stood behind Ravel once again as he put his hand on top of her head "We have some things to deal with back on earth. So we will take our leave." A pink magic circle appeared under the two of them as with his other free hand he waved goodbye as they disappeared.
They were soon transported back to the house as Ravel looked back at Issei. "You can use your magic to teleport?"
Issei smiled "Only to places that I know of. Home is one of them."
Down in a dark dingy area hidden from prying eyes, a voice was heard echoing in the room "Look at you Cao Cao, you look like a beaten dog. What happened did you get your asses handed to you even with a top tier Longinus?"
Cao Cao looked up and saw a man in a Hawaiian shirt "Never expected to see you come down here Sakra."
"So what's your plan now? You're all out of action for some time." Sakra looked down at Cao Cao as if he was demanding an answer.
"I will rebuild everything. When the new Ophis is born so will a new Khaos Brigade. But we lost plenty of manpower so a break will be needed before we can go on."
Sakra laughed at the notion "You really think that? Have you seen what you look like? You were destroyed by but the Heavenly Dragons. And with that missing eye, it looks as if you received Samael's poison, and there will be after effects to it."
"I can't deny that I was crushed by the Heavenly Dragons."
"You look pathetic for a hero."
"I was born as a descendant of a hero while being the possessor of the ultimate spear. There was only ever one path available for me in life." Cao Cao said.
"You are a sniveling child and what I'm about to tell you needs to be ground into your head. People like you who start off with let's say B level power all too often go to an S-level power. The problem is when those B-level people get serious and develop into a SSS class when they get serious. Those people are the ones who reverse the flow of battle. Somebody you have already run into." Cao Cao listened as Sakra continued "If you want to win against those like the Red Dragon then you need to step up to that level when you can change your destiny."
"Next time.." Cao Cao opened his mouth as he let out the wrong words.
"Next time? There is no next time. Your acts end here. The spear rejected you and you took on the curse of Samael. You're lucky you are even alive."
Cao Cao's body sank down "What do you plan to do with me then?"
"You're going to deal with Hades, as he's in a real shit mood. But none of you will be taking your Longinuses down to the underworld. You get to deal with Hades's shit while I watch you all cry about it."
"You're a horrible god you know that right?"
"And you lucky you are not dead yet. Thinking that they could control me from the shadows? This is your punishment. If you survive you can have your gears back." Sakra snapped his fingers as he got ready to walk out of the building. "While you're down there think of this. When does the price of a mile cost too much?"
