In the sky, Vali watched Issei with great interest.
"Look, Albion, Issei's power has now reached a height that doesn't belong to him."
"Vali, don't mess up. That pure rage born from you is locking onto you. I don't want my host to mess up and be suppressed by him."
"Haha, a mere Issei, it's impossible for him to defeat me."
Meanwhile, on the ground, an endless stream of demonic power converged on Issei. He lowered his head, and a green light flashed in his eyes.
"Vali! Don't underestimate me!!!" His lowered head snapped up, locking onto Vali.
Issei charged towards Vali like a scarlet meteor, moving so fast that he left behind afterimages.
"Ascalon!"
Accompanying Issei's roar, the Dragon Slaying Sword, fused with his armor, appeared from his gauntlet. Ascalon shone with light as it slashed towards Vali.
Vali's lips curved upwards, and he easily dodged the attack by sidestepping.
"A Dragon Slaying Sword, huh?"
Vali's entire body surged with demonic power as he collided with Issei.
"Watching this Red and White struggle, it feels pretty good."
"I just want to go home and play games on the sofa."
Elsha gave her evaluation, while Tiamat was not interested in these things and just wanted to go home and play games.
Rias and Yuuto watched the constant collisions of red and white in the sky with some worry.
"This is truly an unexpected surprise. The battle between rivals has pushed the two youngsters' demonic power beyond their limits. I must say, the current new generation is truly strong. Azazel, how are you feeling now?" Sirzechs said.
"Not bad." Azazel rubbed his arm.
He had just asked Asia to heal him, so he was almost recovered.
Looking at his rebellious son in the sky, Azazel inwardly complained about how reckless he was.
Unlike the pleasant mood of the Devils and Fallen Angels, Michael's expression was somewhat lost.
The new generation on the Devil side was quite good. The Fallen Angels had Vali, and also the Slash/Dog Team.
In contrast, their side...
The Angel's reincarnation technology was not complete. Their personnel replenishment couldn't keep up. It could be said that the Angel side was currently the weakest.
"Too slow."
Vali punched Issei in the abdomen. Issei spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell from the sky.
"Divide!"
As Divine Dividing emitted white light, Issei's energy was absorbed by Vali, and then he heavily crashed onto the ground.
"Issei, how can such a weak you conquer me?"
Saying that, Vali raised one hand to the sky, and then a huge white energy ball appeared in his palm.
"Then, let me help you become stronger."
Saying that, the energy in his hand attacked towards Yuuto and the others.
Yuuto's eyes widened.
Can't dodge it.
Boom!
A red light flashed, followed by a loud bang.
As the smoke dispersed, Yuuto's voice came through. "Issei!!!"
Issei appeared in front of them. Although he was still wearing the Boosted Gear: Scale Mail, the armor on his back was completely shattered. His whole body trembled, clearly having endured a huge impact.
"It's good that everyone... is alright."
Issei spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground. Yuuto quickly went to support him but was pushed away.
"Issei!"
Issei stood up and roared at Vali, "Vali! You better know when to stop!!!"
He disappeared from his spot, appearing in front of Vali, then threw a punch.
Vali raised his hand to block the attack and looked at his creation with satisfaction.
"Hahaha! That's it! Hate! Be furious! Only then can you grow! Only then can I enjoy the thrill of battle!"
Issei's eyes turned crimson and he roared, "Vali!"
"Boost! Boost! Boost!"
"Transfer!"
With Issei's roar, he transferred his stacked power to his fist. This punch, carrying his anger and indomitable will, slammed heavily into Vali's face.
Vali's helmet shattered and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Again!!!"
"Boost! Boost!"
Immediately after, another punch landed on Vali's chest plate.
Crack!
Vali clutched his chest, coughing up blood, but his eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Issei.
"Amazing! You actually shattered my armor. Indeed, only hatred can make you grow. Only then are you worthy of being my formidable rival."
Light emanated from Vali's body, and armor once again enveloped him. The white energy around Vali grew even stronger. He clenched his fists, and a fierce aura surrounded him.
"Issei, this is the gap between us. So, what are you going to do next?"
Issei's face revealed unwillingness. However, his gaze paused when he saw the shattered orb on the ground.bHe remembered what his master, Elsha, had said.
Sacred Gears evolve in response to the user's thoughts.
So...
"Ddraig, are you willing to go crazy with me?"
"Partner, what do you want to do?"
"Since demonic power and holy power can fuse..."
Issei picked up the shattered orb from the ground.
Seeing his actions, Ddraig instantly understood what Issei wanted to do. "Interesting. Are you sure? Although you won't die, it might be very painful, and you might be bedridden for ten days to half a month."
"I'm sure, Ddraig."
Issei's eyes were firm. "To defeat Vali, what are these things? Besides, don't you also want to defeat Albion?"
Ddraig laughed heartily, then said seriously, "Very good resolve. In that case, I am also ready. Partner, let them see our bond."
"No problem."
