Thank you for the reviews, now on with the story!
Issei and Chelia vs Vali!
Issei P.O.V
When I noticed it, we were in the club room. It appears that the transfer was successful however...
"Impossible, they've transferred here!"
"Damn Devils!"
The interior was occupied by magicians wearing those weird robes! Heeeeeey! As I thought, this is the enemy's centre!
"B-Buchou! I-Ise-senpai!"
Gasper's voice! When I turned my eyes in the direction where I heard the voice, the Vampire girl Gasper was there tied to a chair with rope.
Buchou confirmed Gasper's safety and was relieved as well.
"Gasper! I'm so glad that you're safe."
"Buchou…It's already too late…"
However, Gasper just broke into tears then.
"It's better if…I die. Please, Buchou, senpai. Please kill me…Because of these eyes, I can't make friends with anyone…I'm only a bother…I forced myself on Mako-senpai...he doesn't want me as a mate...because I'm a coward…"
"Don't say such a stupid thing. I won't abandon you, you know? When I transferred you into my family, I said it, right? That, now that you've been reborn, you will live for me, and also find away of life that can satisfy you. And about that Makoto not wanting you. That's a laughable joke. He is very concerned. He was the first to volunteer for coming here. The only reason he isn't here is because Onii-sama stopped him."
That put some light into Gasper's eyes.
"Mako-senpai...wanted to come...for me?"
Right before my eyes, Gasper was struck by a female magician. The magician seized Gasper's hair and gave a sneer. Now that I looked, all the magicians here were female! Witches? Witches are good too!
"You people are so stupid. Its foolish how you treat such a dangerous half Vampire normally. Its just as the old Maou faction says. The Gremory family are as dumb as they are deeply affectionate and overflowing with power."
The magician assessed Buchou with a contemptuous look.
"Maybe you would have gotten more value if you'd quickly brainwashed this half Vampire and used her effectively as a tool? If you had made her Sacred Gear run out of control while throwing this child into the territory of the opposing Fallen Angels, she might even have taken out one of their leaders as well. Why haven't you done that? Could it be that you intend to treat a servant as a close friend?"
"I…treasure my servant."
Buchou retaliated back calmly. Please get angry! There's no merit in behaving calmly with a person like this!
Hyuh! Bon!
The magician fired a small magic bullet at Buchou! Buchou's uniform was partly blown away, and white skin peeked out…H-Her breasts could be seen just a little.
"What a cheeky mouth you have. Also, I don't like how you're beautiful even though you're a Devil, daughter of Gremory."
The magician's words were covered in jealousy. The magician put a blade at Gasper's neck.
"You move and this child dies. Let's have some fun."
The magician stuck out a hand, and started releasing even more magic! Buchou isn't showing any sign of avoiding it! Damn it! The moment the magic bullet is fired again, I'll stand in front of Buchou and become a shield!
Bon!
The bullet grazed the lower part just a little from my neck. Oww! But, if it's just this much! Rather, that location! She aimed for Buchou's face!? U-Unforgivable! To aim for Buchou's face!
I was angry in both heart and mind, but Buchou came forth from behind me and spoke to Gasper kindly.
"Gasper, please cause me a lot of trouble. I'll scold you over and over again! I'll comfort you! I'll never let you go!"
"B-Buchou…I…I!"
Gasper broke into tears. But, it was from neither fear nor sadness. Even I could tell that she was crying out of happiness. Alright. Alright! In that case, Gasper. Next is a present of fighting spirit from me.
"Gaspeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!"
I raised my voice which rang within the room! Gasper! My feelings! I'll convey them through words and deliver them all the way to your soul!
"Don't run away! Don't be afraid! Don't cry! Me! Buchou! Makoto! Akeno-san! Asia! Chelia! Kiba, Koneko-chan and Xenovia as well! We're all your friends! We will absolutely never abandon you! We won't do something like leave you out!"
I put up my left arm high! Activate, my Sacred Gear!
"Boosted Gear!"
[Boost!]
A red gauntlet was equipped on my left arm.
"Buchou! I'm promoting to Queen!"
Buchou nodded, and my power was raised! Furthermore, there was one more thing left!
"Ascalon!"
[Blade!]
Along with a new voice, my new weapon Ascalon extended from the shell of my Sacred Gear!
The female magicians cautiously watched me. However, I pointed the tip of the sword away from the enemy and at my own hand.
Zashu.
I temporarily suppressed the sword's power and personally cut the palm of my right hand with the blade…It hurts. But! Blood flowed out of my right hand.
"Ise…?"
Buchou looked at my action dubiously. Please be at peace of mind. This is a present for Gasper!
"However, Gasper! It's no use if you don't get up on your own, you know? After receiving encouragement by Buchou, next is standing up!"
I stuck out my left hand and extended out Ascalon that had my blood on it in Gasper's direction!
Faster than the magicians could react, the blood, which had been on Ascalon, clung to Gasper's mouth.
"Drink it. The blood of me who harbours one of the strongest Dragons. And show us that you're a Vampire!"
Gasper nodded at my words with a strong look. Gasper tasted my blood that had arrived at her mouth with her tongue. The instant that Gasper swallowed my blood, the atmosphere within the room suddenly changed.
An indescribable chill eerily rang through my whole body. When I turned my eyes to Gasper who was tied to the chair...
She wasn't there! Gasper wasn't sitting on the chair!? She had disappeared!? Only the rope that had been tying Gasper to the chair was left. The female magicians were also shocked that Gasper had suddenly disappeared, and looked around. They spread their gazes over the interior of the room and...
Chichichichichichi. A weird chirping was heard. Countless bats were flying near the ceiling of the room. The group of red eyed bats swooped down on the female magicians all at once.
"Kuh! So she transformed, that damn Vampire!"
"Whore!"
The cursing women pointed their hands at the bats and tried to fire magic bullets, but they were pulled down by something and greatly lost their balance. Countless black hands were extending out from the female magicians shadow! The hands from the shadows tried pulling the girls inside the shadows.
"So this is the ability of a Vampire!"
"Take this!"
Don! They fired magic bullets at the shadows, but the shadow hands just dispersed uneventfully. During that, the bats wrapped around the forms of the magicians and bit at various parts on their bodies.
"You intend...to suck our blood!?"
"No, our magic power is also being absorbed!"
The magicians were having a hard time. They were at the mercy of the bats and the hands extending from the shadows.
"Ise, that's a part of the power that Gasper was originally hiding. It must have been released from drinking your blood."
And so said Buchou. I see, as I thought, that's Gasper's power!
"Kuh! In that case, we can only do this!"
The magicians turned their aim towards this direction! So they intend to aim at me and Buchou! Doshu! The countless magic bullets they fired were aimed at me and Buchou, but...
They all stopped in mid-air.
[Its useless. I can see all of your movements and attacks.]
Gasper's voice echoed within the interior of the room. The red eyes of the bats glowed blazingly. I see, so she invoked her Sacred Gear from the eyes of the bats!
Moreover, she was brilliantly stopping only the magic bullets! So she can control her Sacred Gear thanks to the effect of drinking my blood!
[I'm stopping you people!]
Kah! Countless numbers of bats made their red eyes shine, and they made the time of all the female magicians in the room stop.
[Ise-senpai! The finishing blow!]
"Leave it to me!"
I started running and touched the magicians! Then, while striking a cool pose in the centre of the room, I cried out!
"Dress Break!"
As a nosebleed spurted out, I gave a smile of victory.
"Gasper, together we're invincible."
[Yes!]
My kohai stops the enemy, and I blow off their clothes. We're the strongest. We're invincible!
"Is that so, Ise!?"
...Sometime later Buchou deployed the magic circle and sent the magicians off to a public office in the underworld. She said that they would then be arrested and put in prison. Incidentally, Buchou had already changed into a spare uniform.
"Yes. All of them have been transferred over there! Now then, Ise, Gasper! Let's return to Maou-sama!"
Me and Gasper responded, and followed behind Buchou.
We left the room and moved to the entrance of the old school building
Just as we were exiting the entranceway while I thought that.
Doggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Something fell down right in front of us! After the cloud of dust which enveloped it vanished, there was...
"…Tch. So you're betraying me under these circumstances, Vali. And to attack me as well."
It was the Governor of the Fallen Angels who was gravely injured.
"That's right, Azazel."
"Creepy bitch!"
That sounded like Chelia...when I looked...I saw Chelia, Irina and Makoto fighting some bitch I don't know! Wait, this is a sky battle. Chelia and Makoto both have their Angel wings out. But Irina is up there also...
"I didn't know Irina could fly."
"I hate you sometimes. Obviously the siblings cast a spell so Irina-san could fly. You see those wings on her back? They are created from magical energy."
Buchou glared in my direction as I heard Azazel speak up to Vali.
"When? When did you decide to do this?"
"I got the offer while I was en-route returning from the Kokabiel incident to headquarters. Sorry, Azazel. This side seems to be interesting."
"Vali, has the Vanishing Dragon capitulated to Ophis?"
"No, I'm just cooperating stubbornly. They gave an attractive offer. 'Wouldn't you like to fight against the Asgard?' When they said that, as someone who wants to test my power, I couldn't decline. Azazel, you dislike the idea of fighting with Valhalla, the Asgard, right? You dislike war."
"I told you to become strong, but I should have also said don't only make factors that will destroy the world."
"That's unrelated. I just want to fight eternally."
"…I see. No, I may have anticipated somehow in my heart that you would leave my side. Since the time we met till now, you wanted to fight with strong people."
Vali then hit her chest and spoke to me.
"My real name is Vali. Vali Lucifer."
L-Lucifer!? S-She's...what?
"I'm a descendent of the previous generation's Maou Lucifer who died. However, I'm a child of mixed blood born from a father who was the old Maou's grandson and a human mother. I obtained the Vanishing Dragons Sacred Gear because I'm half human. It was just by chance. However, I, who is a true blood relative of Lucifer and is also the Vanishing Dragon, was born. If there really is such a thing as fate and miracles, I may be that. Just joking."
As she said that, several folds of Devil wings grew from her back along with her wings of light.
"No way…that can't be…"
Buchou also wore an astonished expression on her face. However, Azazel confirmed it.
"It's true. If there is such a ridiculous existence, its her. She'll become the strongest Hakuryuukou of among those I knew in the past and present, and probably of all time as well."
"Ooh shit..."
Buchou shivered beside me. But then explosions from the sky rang in my ears. I turned and see that Irina, Chelia and Makoto are still fighting that woman.
"She's been powered up by Ophis, yet those three children are handling her, when I know I wouldn't of been able to without using my trump card. It really is amazing what those two children can do. And when helped by that girl. Hmph, it sure is scary seeing their potential."
Azazel muses to himself about the on going battle. B-But, more like shouldn't we help them? Azazel said she's been powered up...
"Not to fear, Rias. You're thinking that your precious Bishop might lose. Well, I wouldn't count those two out just yet. You see, both are Gabriel's children and have a direct link to God from the bibles power."
"Wait...that couldn't possibly be..."
"It is, Vali. The Arondight. Dangerous to you, isn't it?"
Azazel sneered at Vali while holding his arm. He's pretty banged up. I guess Vali took him by surprise.
"Like I care. I already know what I am going to do that boy."
"Oh my Maou, are you going to rape Makoto?"
Buchou asks Vali with an angry tone. Vali gave off a little laugh.
"Rape? Why would I rape him, when he will come to me naturally. Unlike you ape..."
"Don't call me an ape! Uwah...bitch."
She just called Vali a bitch! I don't think she heard. Good thing too.
"Hmph. This is getting tiring. Time to end this! Chelia! Do it!"
"Yes Onii-sama! Try this you Katarea!"
Breeze!
An unnatural breeze chilled the air as Chelia's eyes glowed a beautiful pink colour! That's really pretty! W-Whats going on? Surrounding the woman, is Sakura petals. They are swirling around her so fantastically. Azazel is giggling to himself unevenly.
"Whats so funny?"
I ask the obvious question. At the same time I asked the question, Irina's weapon covered in a white aura.
"Ooh, its fun to watch Chelia and Makoto fight together. They are pretty much a fighting force. Especially Chelia's Sacred Gear."
"H-Her Sacred Gear? She's never actually said anything about it. What does it do Azazel?"
"Well, lets just say she's the Master of illusions."
The Master of illusions? As I was about to question it, Makoto's sword was covered in a dangerous amount of demonic power. That sword is very powerful. But Makoto once told me that it is a double edged sword. Its powerful, but has a strong curse attached to it.
"Is that Secace's special ability I see? Even if she's using it for the first time, it seems she is very compatible with such a skill."
"What does Secace do? I know Arondight is a demonic sword that has Dragon slayer qualities and it comparable to...no, maybe even stronger than Durandal, but I've never heard of what Secace can actually do. Azazel, please be useful and tell us what it does."
Buchou asked Azazel who made a sigh.
"Seriously? You don't even know? You hadn't thought about asking Makoto? Well, I guess I will explain it. Secace's main ability is to weaken enemies once they have been cut. But on how much that enemy weakens, depends on the belief of the person. Take someone like Rias. She wouldn't be able to make it work that well as she isn't a follower of God. But for someone like Shidou Irina, a huge follower of God, she's able to weaken an enemies power quite considerably. It isn't something many will be able to use. But for Irina to use it, she has great compatibility. First she has to cut the enemy then she has to concentrate on the belief she has for God. The other ability Secace has is to strength Arondight by combining its power with Arondight to release a holy demonic blast or it can act alone as it is still a holy sword. But the stronger the belief, the stronger the holy sword works."
W-Wow, that's some sword. Hehe, Makoto has some swords that...wow. I wouldn't want to fight him if he Masters those blades.
"Lets do this Iri-chan!"
"Yes Ma-chan!"
They extend the blades so the tips are touching. The power from Secace is being overlapping Arondight's blade. Once the power passed on, Makoto takes aim at that woman. She's being attacked by Chelia's...Sakura petals. They are illusions according to Azazel, but they seem to be doing damage to the woman.
"Take thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!"
Makoto releases that slash at the woman! Its powerful! I can see both holy and demonic power rolled up into one! That sword is something strong! Those strong swords released blast travels through the air!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
The woman is enveloped in the blast...and is erased! The woman is gone! She's completely dead! J-Just what kind of power does he possess...
"Gak!"
"Ma-chan!"
Makoto! He spat out blood and is bleeding heavily from his nose! W-What happened!? Is that the curse of Arondight?
"Uwah!"
Gasper's scream! When I looked, some kind of magical pattern was engraved on Gasper's eyes.
"Sorry, but I'll be sealing that. Its annoying if time is stopped."
Its Vali! That whore!
"But you know, if you're aware of its ability and activation conditions, that Sacred Gear really isn't that great a wonder. It's full of weak points. There are many techniques like those that seal one's vision. Also, if her magic is drained, it changes into a double edged sword that submits damage to allies as well."
As she said that, Makoto and Irina and Chelia come to join us. Makoto is panting very hard and that nose bleed is heavy. Is the curse of Arondight that powerful?
"Onii-sama..."
"I'm...fine...curse is really strong...I'll be fine."
"Ok Onii-sama...please be fine."
As Chelia and Irina deal with that, Azazel coughs up a little blood. He's holding his side. Its bleeding! I didn't realize it until now! Did Vali do that? Caught him off guard most likely.
"Chelia. Heal Azazel."
"Right Onii-sama!"
Chelia goes towards Azazel and starts using the healing power Makoto uses. Its a magic of healing. I wonder how well she does with it?
"But don't you think that destiny is cruel?"
What's that, all of a sudden. What is Vali talking about?
"On one hand, there is the strongest existence that one can think of with a Maou and a legendary Dragon like me, and on the other hand, there is a mere human like you which possesses a legendary Dragon as well. Say what you like, but I think that this accident of fate is cruel. Though we're rivals with the same Dragon type Sacred Gears, the gap between the two owners is too great."
Y-You mean me? I pointed at myself. Vali nodded amusedly.
"I investigated you a little. Your father is an ordinary office worker. You mother sometimes goes out to a part time job as an ordinary full time housewife. The blood relatives of both your parents are completely ordinary. There are also no ability users or practitioners who possessed power among your ancestors. Of course, your ancestors had nothing to do with Devils or Angels either. You really are ordinary. Your friends aren't special either. You were a completely ordinary male high school student until you were reborn as a devil as well. With the exception of Boosted Gear, you're nothing."
Vali then smirks at me.
"I'll kill your parents. If I do that, your personal history will become a little more interesting. If your parents are killed by a valuable existence like me, don't you think you'll be able to openly devote yourself to a solemn destiny? Yeah, I'll do that. After all, your parents will, from now on as well, live ordinarily, grow old ordinarily, and die ordinarily. The setting I spoke of is much more brilliant than such a boring life! Right?"
"Vali-san...why are you doing this? You can't...say such things normally. I know you...better than you think I do. I can see it...you wouldn't kill people without a cause. I know you Vali-san. Don't say such things, to just make Ise-kun angry. It isn't right Vali-san."
Vali closed her eyes briefly before opening them and looking at Makoto.
"Heh, you know me. Like you said, you know why I'm doing what I'm doing. But, I will take you after all this is done. We'll leave together. Around here is boring for people like us."
"What do you mean, people like us Vali-san?"
"People who have special blood. You, son of Gabriel and grandson of God from the bible. Me, Lucifer's descendant. Together, we'd be invincible. Just imagine the power we'd boast together."
"As if I'd let you take Onii-sama."
Chelia spoke to Vali with anger in her voice. She turns to Chelia and raises an eyebrow.
"Huh?"
"I said, you are not taking Onii-sama. I've lost Onii-sama once, as if I would lose him again. You can't take Onii-sama. If you attempt to take Onii-sama, then I will stop you by any means necessary. Even teaming up with that pervert to take you out."
Is teaming up with me so bad!?
"Pervert! Activate your incomplete Balance Breaker! Do it now!"
[Welsh Dragon Over Booster!]
As if responding to my fear of her, my Sacred Gear started to release a strong bright red aura. I was covered in a red armour similar to what Vali has on.
"Look, Albion. Hyoudou Issei's power went up by an incomparable amount. The plain and simple reason called fear was the trigger, but this is…Hahahaha, what a Dragons surge."
[Sacred Gears simply use strong emotions as food for power. Hyoudou Issei's fear is at its genuine limit, and is turned towards her. Only straightforward people can draw out the Dragons power.]
"I see. So his greater affinity with his Dragon is also explained through this reason."
"Well done pervert. Now, lets fight together!"
Eh? Chelia is going to fight also? As if ignoring her, Vali continues.
"However! You still aren't clever! Hyoudou Issei! Your intelligence is insufficient to control Ddraig! That is a sin."
"Stop chattering and talking about things I don't understaaaaaaand!"
"Yes! That is exactly why you're called an idiot!"
Spouting an aura from the magic power jets on my back, I rushed towards Vali! Vali covered her face with her mask. So she's prepared to fight!
However, Vali easily avoided and dodged my tackle! Not yet!
I regained my balance in mid air and dived again at Vali who had just dodged! I extended Ascalon from my gauntlet and unleashed an attack with my unskilled weapon!
However, I couldn't manage to land a single hit with only my mere swinging slashes on Vali as he dodged with light movements.
[Vali, that sword carries dragon-slaying powers. If it hits just once, you'll undeniably receive great damage.]
"Is that so, Albion. But there's no meaning if it doesn't hit!"
In this Balance Breaker state, its temporarily possible to use my doubling ability whenever and however I want.
[However, every time you use it your stamina or magical power will be consumed. The doubling ability will proportionally take away stamina to how high it is. That's my original Balancer Breaker ability. Although this is a temporary Balance Breaker state, wouldn't you just be committing an act of folly by exhausting the power that maintains your armour with just one use? Even the bracelet you got from Azazel has its limits. Every time you use it, the time for using Balance Breaker will decrease.]
So even just maintaining this state uses up stamina! Vali's side must have a lot of surplus!
[Your opponent Vali seems to have a tremendous amount of magic power. As a paired existence, the Hakuryuukou will also shave off power every time she uses her ability, but if the host's stamina is great, then the time in which she can use it will also be enormous.]
Don!
Guhah…! At that instant, I choked. A heavy-fisted blow hit me in the chest! Heavy! Rather, it was too fast for me to see. What a shot! My legs trembled from just this! T-There was also a crack in my armour! If I receive many of these kinds of hits, it'll abruptly be over!
"So this is my rival! Hahahaha! How embarrassing! Weak! Too weak!"
Vali harshly made fun of me. But, I really did feel that way.
"Ise!"
Buchou seemed worried as she watched me. I don't want to show an uncool appearance in front of the woman I fell in love with! I was born between parents from ordinary families, was reborn as a Devil, and by chance obtained the power of a Dragon. She was born with the lineage of the Old Maou and got the power of a legendary Dragon.
[Divide!]
I heard a voice from the Hakuryuukou's gauntlet, and my power instantly vanished. Did he have my power!? Was it activated from the blow I received to my chest before!?
[Boost!]
However, I also activated my own Sacred Gear and my power was restored.
[Partner, the power that was halved was restored by my power, but... The Vanishing Dragons other ability is troublesome.]
Ddraig, what do you mean?
[That girl halves her opponent's power and then adds the decreased portion of power to herself. In other words, your power is taken away and turned into her own power. Stamina can't be recovered. Its only power to the end.]
T-Then, even if I reset from the minus, that girl will become plus!?
[That's right. However, no matter how amazing the host is, she has a limit. Power that goes beyond her capacity is released from the wings of light on her back and he keeps maintaining his power limit without destroying her body.]
"Dance! Sakura petals!"
Breeze!
That same breeze from before! Beautiful pink petals surround Vali as she was about to attack me! Then, Chelia called out to me!
"Hyoudou-kun! Use Ascalon and your Boosted Gear Scale Mail power together! Deliver a devastating blow to the Hakuryuukou bitch! Transfer your power to Ascalon! Understand me!?"
"Understood!"
I made the magical jets out of my back burst with power and I close the distance between me and Vali who is having trouble with the Sakura petals! It seems they are scratching her armour! So, those illusions are real after all!
"Ddraaaaaig! Transfer power to the stored Ascalon!"
[Understood!]
[Transfer!]
Dokun! A surge of massive power flowed into my left arm. After all, I don't have any sword knowledge. In that case, I can only lodge the power into my fist while the sword is still stored in my gauntlet! If it's just hitting, even I can do it!
Gon!
My fist destroyed her shield of light with no trouble and I made her face eat a sharp blow. Usually I don't hit women, but she's the exception! Whether it was because she received an unexpected blow or not, that girls posture was violently bent.
Cracks spread from the edges of the mask on the Hakuryuukou's helmet, and part of Vali's face peeked through the crumbling portion. This is it!
I grasped my hand around the base of the Hakuryuukou's wings of light that were said to gush out excess power.
"Apparently the effect of your Sacred Gear comes from here. In that case!"
[Transfer!]
I transferred my power to the Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail before it was in excess. At that instant, I was struck by the feeling that power had suddenly been removed from my body. So it consumed a fair amount of stamina and magic power! But, its fine like this!
"I'll raise the power you absorb and the power you emit all at once! To the extent that you can't deal with it!"
"Kuh!"
All of the Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail's jewels started to nonsensically glow white, red, blue and yellow over and over again. As it did so, the Dragon power that I had felt from her body, to the extent of being absurd, vanished.
[What a thing…! Vali, regain your posture at once!]
Vali reacted to Albion's voice and tried to defend by crossing her arms, but...
Bagan!
I closed my left fist that was filled with Ascalon's power and easily destroyed Vali's defences including the gauntlets of both her arms, and thrust a blow to this abdomen. The white shining Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail was not enough and shattered.
Fresh blood flew out from Vali's mouth. She stepped back unsteadily while holding her abdomen. As blood poured down from the edge of his mouth, Vali smiled as if in joy.
"…Hahaha, amazing! My Sacred Gear was blown off! So you can do it if you try! Just what I would expect, my rival..."
"…I made it reach and hit you. You're the only one I won't be satisfied with if my fist can't hit you."
Because while I was doing this, Vali's armour once again returned to its previous state.
No way, the broken part was fixed! Impossible, so I can never beat him no matter how many times I break it!?
"Hmmmmmmmm, never send a man to do a woman's job."
Eh? Before I had realized it, Chelia had appeared beside me.
"W-What are you doing?"
I asked her surprised. She sends me a look which sends chills down my spine.
"You need to do something. I'm not stupid, I'm not a match for her until I reach Balance Breaker. And as that isn't going to happen today, I will support you. But, don't misunderstand. It isn't for your benefit, it is for me beating the crap out of Vali. Her saying stupid things about taking Onii-sama. I'm not letting her take Onii-sama. And if we have to fight together, then so be it. So, use that thing that came off her armour. It must hold some power. I'm going to hold her off."
With that Chelia bursts from beside me and charged light spears! She threw them at Vali who batted them away easily! Ku! That's some defence she has. Even though Vali is half Devil, she can bat away light spears from a half Angel. But half Angel vs half Devil is a sight to see.
[The battle doesn't end until the host is made incapable of fighting. It's no use at this rate. You'll make no progress. It's next to impossible for you to defeat him within the limited time of the control unit. The best plan would be to run away, but you can't do that, can you?]
"Hey, Ddraig. The Sacred Gear responds to feelings and evolves, right?"
[Yeah, that's right, but…Why?]
I picked up the thing lying at my feet, a jewel of the Vanishing Dragon Chelia was talking about. It flew off Vali's armour when I punched her.
"Hyaaa!"
Kick!
Damn! Chelia was able to muster up enough strength to kick Vali away! No, she used magic and light power? I can see equations and light power by her feet. W-Wow, even without Balance Breaker, she's taking on the Hakuryuukou!
"Pervert! Please do something soon! This bitch is strong! Not even I am able to hold her off for long! But Onii-sama will be able to beat Vali~ He just used Arondight too much. B-But, he is also healing Azazel-chan so...Onii-sama is amazing after all!"
This girls brother complex never ceases to amaze me. But I turn my attention back to Ddraig.
"I'm transmitting my image to you. Let's try it!"
I transmitted the thing I imagined in my brain to Ddraig who was inside me! I imagined hard! If this image is possible, I...
[…Partner, you've sent me quite a dangerous image. But, it's interesting! We may die, but do you have the resolve?]
"I can't die. I haven't taken Buchou's virginity yet. —If it hurts, I'll endure it! If I can just exceed this damn bastard in front of me with that!"
[Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Nice resolve! In that case, I'll also resolve myself! This isn't a notification of my character, but—I am the Red Dragon Emperor that was called a mass of power! Let's show them that we'll live and exceed them together, Partner! No! Hyoudou Issei!]
"Yeah!"
"What do you intend to do?"
Vali asked that as she returned to the sky, seeming interested.
"Vanishing Dragon! Albion! Vali! I'll be taking your power!"
I smashed the Sekiryuutei jewel that was on the back of my right hand into pieces, and drove into it the Vanishing Dragon jewel that I picked up before!
A silver aura sprang forth from my right hand and wrapped around the right side of my body. A phenomenon from the jewel?
"Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Damn it! What is this!?
"Nugaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
My thoughts soared in overwhelming pain.
"You intend to take in my power?"
Realising what I was trying to do, Vali showed a shocked expression.
[What a reckless thing to do. Ddraig, we are existences that oppose each other. That is nothing more than an act of self-destruction. Do you intend to annihilate yourself by doing such a thing?]
Albion spoke indifferently.
[Guooooooooooooooooh!]
Ddraig was also leaking out agony. So the Dragon Emperor lodged in my Sacred Gear also tasted pain? However, while Ddraig let out a scream, it contained laughter as well.
[Albion! You're as inflexible as always! Over countless eons, we've lodged in hosts and continued to fight each other! It's a repeat of the same thing each and every time!]
[That's right, Ddraig. That is our destiny. Even if our respective hosts are different, the way we fight is the same. You raise power, I steal power. The side that skillfully uses its Sacred Gear deals the finishing blow and it ends. This is how it always has been, and always will be.]
Ddraig gave a fearless laugh at Albion's words.
[Since meeting with this host, with Hyoudou Issei, I have learned one thing! That anything is possible with determined stupidity!]
"Respond to my feeliiiiiiiiiiings!"
[Vanishing Dragon Power is taken!]
My right hand was wrapped in a dazzling white light! A pure white aura surrounded my right arm!
A white gauntlet appeared on my right arm.
"…Hehehe, so this is Dividing Gear?"
Though, having only white up till my right arm's elbow on my red armour looked awkward.
[Impossible! Such a thing is impossible!]
Albion let out an astonished voice.
"No, its only a little, but it's possible. My friend fused together holy and demonic, and produced things like holy demonic swords. It seems it was possible to achieve it because balance has collapsed from the non existence of God. Well, if I borrow the words of the leader guys, it is a state where there are things like system errors or program bugs? I just utilised it a little."
[…So you mean you nudged the imperfections of the Sacred Gear program and achieved this? No, but such a thing is…Even if you think of that, to actually do it is just foolish. No one knows what will happen with the fusion of opposing powers. When that is something concerning Dragons, you might die, you know? No, it would be natural for you to die.]
Albion still couldn't seem to believe it. Well, to be honest though, I was also desperate.
"Yeah, it was reckless. But, I survived."
Ddraig sighed at my words.
[However, it certainly made your lifespan shorten. It's a lot even for devils that live almost endlessly.]
"I have no intention to live for ten thousand years. But, since there are a lot of things I want to do, I'd like to live for at least a thousand years, though."
Vali clapped her hands at me. What's your intention?
"Interesting. Then, I'll also get a bit serious! If I win, I'll halve all of you and everything that surrounds you with the Hakuryuukou's power!"
Vali floated into the air and opened her arms wide. Her wings of light also grew huge.
"Halve? It's different with my power, but what do you mean by halving my surroundings?"
That girl let out a laugh to my question.
"Ignorance is scary! It might not be bad for you to die without knowing!"
[Half Dimension!]
Surrounded by a dazzling aura along with a voice from her jewel, Vali pointed her hand at the trees spread out below her. The thickness of the trees was halved in an instant! Ooh! They were seriously halved!?
"Hey pervert, want me to explain what's happening? Because that clueless look on your face tells me you don't understand what's going on."
"Please tell me!"
She sighs heavily at me and explains.
"That ability halves everything in her surroundings, I can tell with just one look. In other words, if the Hakuryuukou became serious, then the apes breasts will also be halved. Which wont be a bad thing actually since she parades them around like she's all that, but she's not all that!"
"Don't fuck with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Don't fucking swear at me you bastard!"
"I wasn't swearing at you! I was swearing at Vali!"
"Oh, ok then swear at her. She's going to take the apes bust away you know?"
I turn to Vali with rage!
"I won't forgive you! You're the one person I absolutely won't forgive! I'll knock you down! I'll destroy you! Valiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
[Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost!]
My surroundings flew off! The ground I was standing on was also greatly gouged out and changed into a crater.
"Holy shit. Your power goes up by so much because the apes breasts might be reduced? Hehe, you really are a strange being."
Chelia bursts out laughing at me! Don't laugh at me!
I thrusted my finger at Vali! The far-off trees in the background were blown away from the force of the aftershock of thrusting that finger.
"Just try to make a move on Rias Gremory! I'll thoroughly destroy you to the point where you won't be able to reincarnate agaaaaaaain! You halving maniaaaaaaaaaaaac!"
"Today is full of surprises. Who would have thought that this much power would explode because of a woman's breasts. But, its interesting!"
The Hakuryuukou flew out at me. I didn't feel slow.
Bah! I got away from that spot and kicked Vali in the side as she flew!
"Fast! Have you exceeded me in speed!?"
Like I know! Be surprised as you please! As if I'll forgive! As if I'll forgive this girl!
"This is for Buchou's breasts!"
A hit to Vali's abdomen with my right fist! In my mind, Buchou's breasts shook!
[Divide!]
At the same time I activated the Hakuryuukou power I had just transplanted and felt the aura covering Vali decrease sharply.
"Guha!"
Vali spat out bile from her mouth! I continued attacking like that without interference!
"This is for Raynare's breasts!"
A hit to the face! Alright! I completely broke her helmet! In my mind, Raynare's breasts bounced!
"This is for Chelia's still growing breasts!"
The jets on her back from which her wings of light originated were destroyed! In my mind, Chelia's breasts grew!
"You sick bastard! Don't mention me in your sick ways! My body is for Onii-sama! Not you, you perverted moron!"
Ignoring her, I continue on!
"This is for Kalawarner's breasts!"
I vigorously kicked her high into the air! In my mind, Kalawarner's breasts were pleased!
"Gahah!"
Vali vomited blood from my extreme kick. Yeah, serves you right!
"…Interesting. Truly interesting."
[Vali, I finished analysing his halving power. When compared with the control method of your power, you can handle it.]
"I see. I'm not afraid of him with this. Albion, do you think he's worthy enough to show the Hakuryuukou's Juggernaut Drive if its the current Hyoudou Issei?"
[Vali, its not a good choice in this place. If you recklessly enter Juggernaut Drive, Ddraig's curse may be removed.]
"It'll all work out, Albion."
What? That damn Vali started chanting something.
[Don't act rashly, Vali! Is it your desire to be at the mercy of my power!?]
Albion was angry? I don't know what's going on, but I'll take him down before he prepares his new attack! When I tried to deliver a hit as a finishing blow to Vali...
With the moon floating within the night sky in the background, a single silhouette swooped down to our location. It swiftly came into the space between Vali and me. It was a man wearing armour that would be worn by a military commander of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
"Vali, I've come for you."
It was a young man with a refreshing-looking face. He spoke to Vali cheerfully.
"So its Bikou. What have you come for?"
Vali stood up while wiping away the blood from his mouth.
"Isn't that cruel? I made a long journey and came all the way to this island country because my partner is in a pinch, you know? The other guys were making a fuss at headquarters, you know? Because we're joining together to fight the northern country gods, you were supposed to flee and return right away if the mission failed, right? Katarea failed to assassinate Michael, Azazel, and Lucifer, right? In that case, your observation role is also over. Come back with me."
"…I see, so its already time."
"Who are you?"
I pointed at the person who had just appeared and asked that.
"...He's the descendent of the Victorious Fighting Buddha."
The one who answered was Azazel. Huh? That isn't familiar at all, though?
"Let me say it with a name that you can grasp. He's Son Goku. The famous damn monkey in the Journey to the West."
"S-S-Son, Gokuuuuuuuu!?"
I was so shocked that all my anger till now was blown away! Because, he's the one from that famous story!
"To say it correctly, he is a monkey youkai that has inherited Son Goku's power. However, it really is the end of the world if even you have joined the Khaos Brigade. No, you're the Son Goku to the Vanishing Dragon. You're also well-matched."
That guy laughed at Azazel's words with a cackle.
"I'm different from the first generation that became a Buddha. I just live doing as I like. My name is Bikou. Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei."
He casually greeted me.
The Youkai called Bikou spun around a cane that had appeared in his hand, and then pierced it into the ground.
Instantly, a black darkness spread over the ground. It seized Vali and Bikou, and made them completely sink into it. So they intend to escape! Don't kid around! I still have to give her my breast doctrine one more time!
"Wait! As if I'll let you escape!"
I tried to catch her, but…
Kah! My Sacred Gear was released. My armour vanished, and the ring which helped my power also crumbled away. The Balance Breaker state that was reinforced by the ring has been removed!
"Azazel! Don't you have more of those rings!? I can't let her escape!"
"It takes a tremendous amount of time to purify those things. I can't mass-produce them. And even if I could, the possibility of attaining complete Balance Breaker fades if used too much. To the end, its an emergency use measure."
"Right now is for emergency use! I was made a fool of by her! As if I'll let her get away!"
…Suddenly, I was seized by intense fatigue…I couldn't put any strength into my feet. I couldn't grasp my fist either.
"If you explosively emit that much power in an instant, your stamina will become empty. As you are now, what you are able to store is limited and long battles are impossible."
That was Azazel's explanation… But wasn't Vali armoured for the whole time?
"Va-chan!"
...That was Makoto! He came rushing past me and went straight to Vali! W-What is he doing!?
"Ma-kun you remember..."
"Don't go, ok? I remember...meeting you. And I remember falling in love with you. So, stay, ok? You can stay with me. I will make sure you don't get punished, ok? So, stay with me...please. I don't want to lose you again."
So Makoto and Vali have history? Makoto, forces his lips onto Vali's in a passionate kiss! W-Whoa, I didn't know he could be so forward. Chelia grinds her teeth next to me. Ehehe, she's really pissed off. I can hear a sigh from Irina also. Hehe, she's pissed off also! They break apart a few seconds later. Vali gets close to his ear and whispers something. Then Makoto speaks
"I love you...Vali-san, no Va-chan. I love you Va-chan. Thank you for the advise."
"I...love you, Ma-kun. Until next time."
Vali pushed Makoto away and within a second, Vali and Bikou disappear.
"Va-chan...until next time. Chelia, come here. Its time to go and talk with Gabriel."
"R-Right Onii-sama! By the way, can I call you Nii-chan?"
"Sure, why not. Lets go and finish the heart to heart with Gabriel. Lets make amends, if she's willing. I'm tired of fighting now."
"Ok Nii-chan! Lets go!"
So like that, we all went back to the others.
When we set foot on the school grounds, the armies of the three big powers had come in and carried out the processing after the battle.
They carried away the corpses of the dead magicians, and looked to be cleaning up after the battle.
When we advanced to the centre of the school grounds, the forms of Sirzechs-sama, Serafall Leviathan-sama, and Michael-san could be seen giving orders to people who seemed to be subordinates.
"Ma-taaaaaaaaaaaan!"
Serafall-sama immediately shot into Makoto's arms!
"Sera-tan, I beat that bitch for insulting you like she did."
"Hehe, my Bishop in magical robes."
"Hey! That's my line!"
Chelia wined as Sirzechs-sama got close to them.
"Is it true? You three beat Katarea?"
"Its true, Sirzechs. Makoto, Chelia and Shidou Irina beat Katarea by working effectively together. They deserve a reward for such a thing as Katarea even powered up by using a snake from Ophis. But, I caused trouble with Vali..."
"Of course. Well done to Shidou Irina-san, Makoto-kun and Chelia-chan for such actions. Katarea was an Ultimate class Devil, yet you three won with teamwork. You three will receive a reward for your efforts."
Those three gain embarrassed blushes as Sirzechs-sama turns back to Azazel.
"…So she betrayed you."
"From the start, she was a girl that poured into only power. If you look at it from the results, it's possible to understand and say "Ah, I see". However, its my responsibility that I didn't stop it from happening."
"No! Va-chan is a good girl, believe me. I know she is a good girl and she will prove it one day as well. I just know she will."
Sirzechs-sama and Azazel nod at Makoto who then goes over to Gabriel-san with Chelia...is this going to turn into a shouting match? It did last time.
"Makoto...you're ok. I was so worried about you. I need to tell you something. From your emotions before, I should've replied instantly. I know I'm late in saying this, but everything's ok now. I finally understand what you've been trying to tell me all this time."
"You do?"
"Yes, I do. Sometimes I'm slow, you know? But, if I'm given the chance to think, I can find the answer eventually. I know what's really going on now. I should've come to you earlier. I should've come and protected you and Chelia from this world. If you give me the chance, I will prove how much I truly love you. You'll never have to be alone again, because I'm going to be around now. No matter what. I'm going to be around for you now. No more hiding away because I felt ashamed of what I did. I'm going to face up to what I've done, and I will wait forever for you to forgive me. Even if you don't, I am always going to love you."
"Kaa-chan..."
He called her Kaa-chan instead of Gabriel.
"Everything's ok now. Everything's ok now and I love you so much."
"Kaa-chan!"
He jumped into her arms and hugged her tightly! I guess he finally heard what he wanted to hear. I smile at the scene as Chelia hugs them also. A family threeway hug.
"You finally said it, and meant it Kaa-chan. That's all I ever wanted. It will take sometime for me to completely forgive you, but I do want you around Kaa-chan. You will be around now, right?"
"Of course I will. If you can put up with me, can I maybe stay in your home for abit? Heaven doesn't need me for awhile so, if you'll have me, I would like to be around you and Chelia."
"What do you think Chelia? Should we allow Kaa-chan around?"
Makoto sent a playful smile at Chelia who smiled cheerfully.
"Well, having Okaa-sama around for a little while might be fun. Ok, Okaa-sama can stay!"
"There you have it Kaa-chan! If Chelia says it, then I will go along with it! Please stay around for as long as you like!"
"How's forever then?"
""Sounds perfect to us!""
They replied at the same time! Hehe, I guess getting everything out was alright after all. All the emotions from before needed laying out, and now they can start building bridges.
Michael-san then came between Sirzechs-sama and Azazel.
"Now then, I'm returning to Heaven at once and will work on a plan for the matter of peace and countermeasures against the Khaos Brigade."
"I'm sorry, I had arranged things this time. We who set up the place of this conference feel ashamed."
"Sirzechs, please don't feel so responsible. As for me, I'm just glad that the three great powers are walking on the path to peace together, you know? With this, useless quarrels should also decrease."
"Well, subordinates who don't agree with that will also leave."
Azazel made that sarcastic remark.
"That is inevitable. Because we've been hating each other for a long time. However, it should change even a little from now on. The problem is the Khaos Brigade that we can't assume is good."
"Then let's cooperate and discuss from now on regarding that matter."
Azazel and Michael-san nodded at Sirzechs-sama's idea.
"Then, I'll return to Heaven at once. I'll come back immediately, so we'll conclude the formal peace agreement at that time."
"Erm...Oji-san. Can I ask you something before you leave?"
Makoto asks Michael-san who nods happily. His face became happy when Makoto said Oji-san rather than Michael like he did before.
"Can you allow it so Xenovia-san can pray? She doesn't say it around me, but I know she feels regret because she can't pray to you. So, if you could do that for me, then I would be grateful."
"Haha, I see. Would you like to pray also?"
"If you can make it so, then yes please!"
Hehe, happy times for Makoto. I'm happy he is going to be ok. For awhile, I thought he wasn't going to be ok, but he's going to be fine now.
"I understand. If its only two people, I may be able to do something about it. The two of you are already Devils and can't get near church headquarters. Xenovia, let me ask you. You know God is absent, right? Even so, will you still pray?"
"Yes, I want to pray even if there is no Lord."
"Very well. I'll do that right away when I return to headquarters. Fufufu, it should be fine if there are only two Devils who don't receive damage when praying. How interesting."
"Makoto-sama! You are amazing! Doing that for me, your humble servant."
Chelia then clicked her fingers at Xenovia.
"Aah! Servants! Thanks for reminding me Xenovia-senpai! Nii-chan! Tell me you have reconsidered!"
Reconsidered what? Irina and Asia get close while looking hopeful. However Makoto just smiles and doesn't say anything.
"Ooh Ma-chan! Please tell us!"
"Y-Yes Makoto-san! Please don't keep us in suspense!"
"Yeah Nii-chan! Come on! Tell us if you want them or not!"
Want them? What are them? Makoto giggled happily.
"Well, I suppose I shouldn't toy around anymore. Chelia, shall we become Kings?"
"Ooh yeah! Nii-chan! We are going to have servants!"
S-Servants!?
"Yay! Ma-chan! You've made me the happiest girl in the world!"
"Makoto-san! Thank you!"
I don't know what's going on! Irina and Asia have jumped Makoto into a hug and people are talking about servants!
"W-Whats going on?"
Xenovia asks with a little of hint of anger.
"Well, Xenovia-senpai. The short version is...Nii-chan and I are going to be the Kings of Angels! We get to reincarnate Angels! We get servants!"
...They get servants!? I slink to the floor in sadness. They get to live my dreams. They get to get servants...uwah.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Xenovia let out a high pitched cry! She then turned to Buchou with a furious look in her eyes.
"You...ape. You say "Become my servant and you can stay by Makoto-sama's side always as his loyal servant!" But noooooo...he gets servants and I'm stuck being your servant ape!"
Xenovia is flipping out on Buchou who is shaking heavily! Buchou! Please don't be so scared! She wont hit, I think.
"I-I..."
"Don't interrupt me ape!"
"Ooh shit I'm sorry!"
"You should be! I should've done what Asia did! Stayed human a little longer! But I'm stuck being the Knight of an ape! Uwah! Makoto-sama!"
Buchou starts crying and assumes the fetal position. I go over and join her. Fate is cruel. Makoto is getting servants and Xenovia flipped out.
"Michael-sama, about the aforementioned matter, please do as you said."
Kiba requested something to Michael-san.
"Following your advice, I swear on the Holy Demonic Sword you gave us that I will not allow Holy sword esearch to produce any more victims. It was a huge error for us to flatly reject important believers to this extent."
"That's great Yuuto-kun!"
"T-Thank you, Makoto-kun."
Kiba's face turned red at Makoto's words. I don't care right now, I'm upset. I suddenly feel a hand touch my shoulder...Makoto, what does he want? Going to rub it in my face?
"What?"
"Ise-kun. Whats wrong?"
"You get servants! Uwah! That's a harem! Uwah!"
"Don't cry. Besides, I'm willing to turn someone into an Angel for you. Well half Angel anyway."
What? What did he just say!? Did he just say...
"M-Makoto...?"
"Yes, Ise-kun?"
"Did you say you'd turn someone into an Angel for me?"
"I did yes. Ise-kun, you've been an amazing friend to me, without even realizing it. You are so like Shinobu-kun, that it is scary. You are my best friend, and if you are going to become a Harem King, don't you need an Angel in your harem?"
I grab his hands and hold them tightly! He's going to turn someone into an Angel for me! Yay! That's amazing!
"You're the best friend I could ever want! So I can do anything with her!?"
"Yes. As long as she wants it that is. You can't force yourself on this girl. But if you find a girl you want, I will angelize her for you. Also, you can be a commander of my and Chelia's peerage sometimes. Think of yourself as third in command of them, ok?"
Without even realizing it, I hug him very tightly. He pets the back of my head.
"Ise-kun. Thank you for being my friend. Lets be best friends forever now, ok?"
"Y-Yes! Lets be best friends forever! And Harem Kings together!"
"Yep! We will be the Harem Kings of Kuoh academy!"
Hehe, I'm corrupting him! But, that's really nice of him. He's going to angelize someone just for me. And even let me command his peerage sometimes. I can't ask for a better friend than him.
"Ooh Nii-chan! I'm so happy right now!"
Suddenly, without warning, Chelia kisses her own brothers lips! They are kissing!? Everyone makes a shocked face as they kiss! Ooh my Maou! Its incest! I knew Chelia would do something like this eventually, she really does have a unhealthy obsession with Makoto. She breaks the kiss and has a huge blush.
"I love you Nii-chan. Lets get married!"
"..."
Makoto then faints! Hehe...wow, totally didn't expect that. I guess Chelia is going for the incest route. Good luck Makoto, you're gonna need it. But more like, I'm going to get an Angel in my harem! Yay! I'm so happy right now!
Well that's the end of the conference! And Makoto and Chelia have started their Brave Saints now with more to come! Also the Gabriel x Makoto can start now as the Makoto x Chelia has started! Also, Chelia's Sacred Gear wasn't named this chapter but it will be in the future. Thanks for reading!
