Vali looked at Issei with interest, wanting to see how far his archenemy could go.
Issei held the orb from Vali's armor in his hand. This was Vali's power. Since he couldn't get the person now, he'd settle for taking a portion of his power first.
He raised his right hand high and Ddraig's phantom appeared behind him.
"I am the Red Dragon known as power, the Emperor among Red Dragons! Let us face the future together, transcending limits! Go, Issei!"
"White Dragon Emperor Vali! Let your power merge into my body! I will defeat you and then fulfill my wicked wish!"
As Issei finished speaking, he slammed the shattered orb in his hand into the orb on his chest.
A stinging pain spread throughout his body. This was even more painful than a light spear piercing through his abdomen. Only by getting closer to death can one gain powerful strength.
Feeling the intense pain in his heart, Issei wore a ferocious expression. Even though he had a long lifespan, he lost a lot of his lifespan.
Vali stood in the air, looking forward to the developments.
Regarding Issei's actions, Albion felt he was a fool.
"Ddraig, your host is too foolish. We are two opposing existences, what's the difference between this behavior and suicide?"
"Albion, although my host is a bit 'special,' I still find some unique aspects about him. That is, a fool uses a fool's method to turn the impossible into possible.c
The current Issei was the weakest of all previous hosts, but also the one with the greatest potential. Aside from a slight issue with his sexual orientation, everything else was fine.
Daring to sacrifice his life, daring to be crazy, was enough to prove Issei was worthy of him.
Issei felt his heart was about to be torn apart. However, he would not give up.
He thought of Yuuto's achievements. The fusion of holy power and demonic power, two opposing forces.
He would definitely accomplish this impossible feat too!
"Respond to my belief!!!"
Issei pressed his hand against his chest with renewed force, and his chest glowed brightly.
Issei's chest armor turned white, and the red orbs on both sides of his chest turned blue.
Albion looked at this scene, unwilling to believe it.
Vali, however, showed a delighted expression. That's it, this kind of opponent was worth him using his full strength.
"Partner, even if you are a devil, your lifespan has definitely shrunk." Ddraig reminded.
"What's the use of so much lifespan? It's enough to squander. Accomplishing infinite things in a finite life, that's the best."
Issei looked at Vali. "Vali, your power flows within my body."
"Hahaha, interesting. Then I'll get serious too."
Vali fully spread his wings behind him, emitting a blue light.
Half Dimension!
As he stretched out his hand, the alternate dimension began to twist and shrink. Except for Abel's area, which detached from this dimension, other places began to halve and shrink.
Yuuto, Gasper, and the others looked up at the sky with worry.
Abel looked outside the barrier, then turned to Grayfia and said, "Grayfia, I'll leave this to you."
"Understood."
With that, Abel left his spot.
Outside the barrier, Okita Souji looked at the barrier and stroked his chin, thinking about how to undo it.
At the same time, he sensed a fierce battle happening inside and detected his apprentice's aura.
"Forget it, no need to think. Just slice it open with one strike."
With that, Okita Souji gathered power and drew his sword.
Suddenly, a figure appeared.
After seeing who it was, Okita Souji twisted his wrist and changed direction. A crescent moon-shaped slash shot towards the sky.
At the same time, in the sky.
Bikou, stepping on clouds, was rushing towards this direction.
"Hmm? What's that?"
"Holy crap!"
Too late to dodge, Bikou was engulfed by the slash, then fell straight down.
"Wow, Uncle Okita, you scared me."
"Kid, I should be saying that."
As soon as Abel came out, he saw Okita Souji about to chop him with his sword. Fortunately, Okita Souji braked and curved his swing into the sky.
"Kid, what's the situation inside?"
"It's just the Red and White Dragon Emperors fighting."
While Okita Souji and Abel were chatting, a dark figure fell from high in the sky.
Okita Souji looked up. Then he disappeared and reappeared, holding an unconscious fellow in his hand.
Abel recognized who he was.
Vali's companion—Bikou.
It seemed he came to find Vali, but was hit by Okita Souji's slash and knocked down.
"You know him?"
"Yes, the second generation Bikou."
Abel continued, "Want to go in and see?"
"Sure."
As Abel used his ability, the two entered the alternate dimension.
The battle inside was still ongoing.
"Master!"
"Yuuto, you've grown." Okita Souji nodded in satisfaction.
After a simple greeting, Okita Souji walked towards Sirzechs and bowed. "My Lord, your subordinate failed to capture those fellows. Please punish me."
"No matter."
Sirzechs patted his shoulder, then his gaze fell on Bikou, whom he was holding.
"This is..."
