(Flashback)


"Are you girls ready to go yet! We are going to miss Kiba's and Akeno's promotion test if we stay any longer!" Issei called out, as he was wearing black combat boots, black jeans, a black shirt, and a red coat that reached his elbows, along with it he had black finger-less gloves, as he was waiting for the girls to come down stairs, and after waiting for a few seconds, they came down stairs wearing their usual clothes for battle, which made Issei raise an eyebrow when he saw what they were wearing, but Tiamat saw the look he was giving, and rolled her eyes mentally at the look he was giving.

"We do not know what will happen during this promotion, so we are just getting prepared just in case something unexpected happens, oh, and I might as well tell you Asia, Koneko, Akeno, and Xenovia went ahead and they are probably both are already at the underworld, since that is when they are going to hold it, they had another place in mind, but for some reason they decided to do it in the underworld instead, strange." Tiamat told Issei, who just looked at her with a neutral look on his face, before a small smile appeared for a split second, till he shrugged his shoulders at what she said.

"Alright, well I suppose we should be heading there now right?" Issei questioned, to which the girls nodded their heads, and at that moment Issei did a head count mentally to see who was there, and he noticed that the only ones that were coming were Rossweisse, Artemis, Tiamat, Kuroka, Raynare, Ravel, Amaterasu, Murayama, Bennia, Kiyome, Le fay, Irina, Aphrodite, and finally Ophis, while Yasaka stayed since she had to stay hidden due to the fact that a big event like a promotion test could cause trouble for her, that and she wanted to stay with her daughter, but while she did this she would also watched over Issei's, Irina's, and Xenovia's children, while Tomoe, Tsubasa were with Sona, and the rest of her peerage, which he believed were with Rias and the others, but while he was doing the head count the group soon disappear and were transported to the underworld.

*A few hours later in the underworld*

"The test seemed interesting so far, am I right Issei?" Azazel asked Issei, as they were both were watching everyone that was with Issei talk or just watched both Rias's and Sona's groups, while Issei just stood there with a blank look on his face.

"I suppose so, but I have to say it is a bit to quite..., and that is something that I do not feel comfortable about, this is suspicious." Issei replied with narrowed eyes, to which Azazel hummed a bit with a serious glint in his eyes, but he had a calm and lazy look on his face, but Issei knew better than to see or say that Azazel was not taking things seriously, but before he could say anything both him and Issei froze, and quickly turned around when they saw that the wall behind them exploded, which made the group look to the wall Issei and Azazel were looking at ready to fight who came.

"Seems that I can never find a place where you are in the way to an important goal of mine Hyoudou, but then again, I always want to fight you and prove I am the strongest between the two of us." A familiar voice to Kuroka, Raynare, Le fay, and Issei was hear, who the latter was narrowing their eyes, before he saw Cao Cao before him with both his eyes, which shocked Issei mentally, but he did not show it outwardly.

'How does he have both of his eyes? This does not make sense, but to add to that George is here, not that I care, but that eye of Cao Cao's it makes me worry, it was transplanted into him, but what does that honestly mean, does he have a Sharingan? Or does he something as powerful, or even more powerful than one sharingan?' Issei thought, as he looked between Cao Cao, and the newly appeared George, who looked at Issei for a moment, before he flinch in fear for a split second, till a neutral look appeared on his face, as if nothing happened.

"So Vali was not able to keep you off Ophis's trail for long, well that is disappointing." Kuroka spoke up with a sigh, which made Issei raise an eyebrow, before shaking his head, and looked at Cao Cao with narrowed eyes.

"So Vali had a plan, but remember this Cao Cao,, I may not know why you are here, but that does not mean I won't stop you, even if you have devil slayer magic, dragon slayer magic, and even god slayer magic, added you have true longinus, that does not mean you can't beat me, besides even if your now new eye has some special ability, all I need to do is not look at it, to which even if your skills have improve, so have mine, so what do you have to say to that?" Issei commented, making Cao Cao look at him with neutral look on his face.

"Then we are at an impasse, and we both know that your friends can't help, since a lot of them are devils they will be killed by my devil slayer magic and my holy spear, if the dragons on your side help then I will use dragon slayer magic and take them down, heck if the goddess help then I will take them down with my god slayer magic, and even if they get close I have George for back up, so honestly we are both at a stand still." Cao Cao claimed with a shrug, which honestly annoyed Issei, since he knows that he is right, and the only people he knows that can attack are Rossweisse, Raynare, Irina if not by much, Le fay, and Kiyome, he would consider Bennia, but holy items with a grim reaper did not sound like something he rather not see.

"It would if I did not came along." A voice called out, causing everyone to freeze and looked to the side of Issei to see Vali appearing through a magic circle with the ash-grey wolf Fenrir, Hel, Athena, and Freyja, which they were all wearing their fighting gear, and Vali was wearing black jeans, black biker shoes, a dark green shirt, and a biker jacket, with his hand nearing his sword.

"So the white dragon decides to appear now, well it matters not, since this is both yours and the Red Dragons end, since we have the ultimate dragon slayer weapon on our side." Cao Cao claimed, which made both Issei and Vali to look at him with raised eyebrows till his words hit them, and they looked at him with wide eyes, causing Cao Cao to smirk a bit, while everyone else looked at the two in confusion, that is till the goddess and Azazel realized what Cao Cao was talking about.

"How the hell did you get the dragon eater Samael, there is no way you could get access to such a beast." Issei stated, and when he said that Tiamat, Ophis, and surprisingly both Murayama and Saji shivered when they heard that name.

"Why did I just shiver when I heard that name?" Murayama asked herself, but Tiamat heard her and looked at her, which she noticed.

"Samael, is the snake that made Adam and Eve eat the apple that was forbidden to eat by the leader of Heaven, once this happened he changed Samael into a being that was part fallen, and dragon, making it the ultimate threat against devils and dragons, but thanks for whatever reason the leader of heaven sealed the beast away, which made things a bit easier for everyone, cause if it was still around a lot of beings would be dead, now Samael has the ability to attack a dragon's soul, and sadly for us with dragon sacred type gears, are fully or part dragon, even if you have a transformation that makes you have a dragon like state of body and soul, Samael will kill us easily, worse thing is that it can easily kill devils, and is in the same class of power as Azazel, hell maybe even Sirzechs, I do not know, and I honestly do not want to find out." Tiamat explained to Murayama, who gulped at what she heard and looked at Cao Cao with wide eyes, along with Saji, who heard the whole conversation, and he soon became pale when he heard what was said, but before anyone could say anything Cao Cao snapped his fingers, but when nothing happened someone was going to comment, till all the dragon users, and people that were dragons froze for a second, till they saw a magic circle appear in front of them, and they saw a being that's upper body was that of a fallen angel with it's black wings there as well, while the lower body was that of a snake, but when given a closer look everyone realized that it was dragon, but they saw that the creature was stuck on a cross as if it was nailed to it, and the thing that made everyone pale was the blood like tears coming out of it's eyes.

"Fuck, this is not something I would like to face, alright then, everyone get out of here, me, Azazel, Saji, Vali, and the goddesses will handle this thing!" Issei called out, as he looked at his friends, and lovers, which made them all look at him with wide eyes when they heard what he said, before Ophis stepped forward and glared at him, which Issei did not flinch from whatsoever.

"I am not leaving, they want me, and I will deal with them, they stand no chance, even with dragon slayer magic, the only one that can harm me is Samael, and I doubt anyone will agree to what you say anyway." Ophis claimed with a blank look on her face, causing Issei to sigh for a moment, before he looked at Vali, who had his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan out and ready to be use.

"Now is not the time to argue, it is time to be serious!" Vali called out, before he went to his balance breaker, which Saji immediately did as well, before they both transform, Vali into his True Oblivion Chaos Lucifer Hybrid form, and Saji to his Evil Poison Dragon Hybrid Force form, and the reaction they made cause a heavy and immense power to appear around them, making everyone look at the two in awe.

"Well fuck it, no holding back then!" Issei called out, as he went into his sage mode, and went to his balance breaker, which confused everyone in trying to understand why he did such a move, but before they knew it Issei changed back from his sage mode, and they felt him turn into his True Infinite Red Dragon Hybrid form, which again confused everyone into wondering why he did that.

"Issei, why did you do that?" Xenovia asked Issei, who was looking at her, even though no one noticed it at all.

"I was testing to see if sage mode would have an effect, other than that I was seeing something, and I found out that the air around Samael is poison, and with that Saji can breath in the air, and use that to power himself up." Issei explained, to which everyone looked at him with wide eyes.

"That is brilliant, with this-" Sona started, until she felt a rise in power from Cao Cao, along with everyone else, and when they looked at him they saw him glow in multiple colors, which made many of them nervous, while the others that were not felt uneasy.

"Here we go, Cavern Dragon's Earth Destruction!" Cao Cao called out, which made Issei's eyes widen, before he back flipped and quickly grabbed Le fay, and Kiyome, then jumped into the air with his dragon wings out, which everyone noticed and quickly went to the air, and in the process they somehow managed to avoid the damage that Cao Cao caused to the ground, and when everyone saw it, those that did not meet Cao Cao before began to become pale.

"What kind of monster are we fighting?" Asia questioned nervously, but they soon froze when they saw that Cao Cao was now in the air, trying to stab Issei with his spear, who used the jets in his balance breaker to move out of the way, but when this happened Cao Cao started to grin.

"Ice Devil's Rage! Lightning god's charged particle cannon! And finally Purgatory Dragon's Blazing Hell!" Cao Cao called out in rage, which made Issei become frozen in fear when he heard those attacks names, and saw where they were aimed at, which he saw that the ice breath attack hit the devils, causing them to crash into the ground heard twitching in pain from the process of it all, while the goddess were blasted into the ground, with the roof of the building they were in was completely destroyed, as if it was vaporized, leaving the goddesses on the ground twitching from the lightning attack, but when he looked to those with dragon DNA or had a dragon sacred gear were blown away to the walls of the building with cuts, or in Saji's case blown out of his armor and was in his base form, or bruises that looked really painful that they would need serious medical attention, but he was glad he saw Vali being protected by his Susanoo, in an armor like form, before Vali landed on the ground taking a knee, then he found out that he actually had Ophis with him, which made Issei felt a bit better, but when he looked at those that were not devil, god, or dragon, he saw they were hurt but not in critical or extreme condition, so he landed on the ground and set both Kiyome and Le fay down and glared at Cao Cao, who landed on the ground without a problem, but he did looked a bit out of it from the look on his face, which made Issei raise an eyebrow, before he noticed Vali deactivating his Susanoo.

"You know know things about his skills would have been a great thing to know." Vali told Issei, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well I would tell you, except for the fact that I was in and out of the last time I fought Cao Cao, and I barely remember most of the fight myself, but still it will ot help, since he has become stronger than before, which is something I am a bit worried about." Issei replied with narrowed eyes, to which Vali nodded his head since he saw the logic Issei said, but he kept looking at Samael with caution.

"What do we do about the literal dragon killer?" Vali questioned, causing Issei to look at the dragon eater, and saw that it was free from it's binds. but he noticed that it did not move at all, which made Issei raise an eyebrow in confusion, till he saw something that made his eyes widen, and a ghost of a smile appeared on his face when he noticed it, and a plan in the process of this started to form in his head very slowly, and a grin now appeared on his face when he had a good plan in mind on what to do.

"I have a way, all we need to do is get a strong enough hit on it, and then we are good, since that magic circle can't handle the power that would be hit, and it is the only thing keeping Samael here...well at least that is what I think that would happen, I am sure that he will disappear, but the type of attack and damage is something that I do not know at all, so I have something that can give us the advantage, all I need is time, do you think you can give me it?" Issei answered Vali, before asking him a question, which made Vali scoff at what he said.

"Yea, I can give you time, in the mean time Le fay, Kiyome I heard a bit of your skills and know that you can heal people, well heal in general, heal the others, Rossweisse, Azazel, Raynare, and Bennia give us covering fire!" Vali called out to Issei, then the small group of people, to which they nodded their heads to what he said and got ready to attack, while Kiyome and Le fay started to go and heal people as best as they could.

"Get ready for anything everyone this will be a fight we have to be extra cautious about." Issei told everyone, as he raised his right hand to the sky and a Rasengan started to appear floating a bit into the sky, but the thing that Vali saw before he went to attack was that there were small blades starting to form on the Rasengan, which made him raise an eyebrow, before he shook his head and went in to attack, and appeared in front of George in a second, shocking him, but unknown to Vali black tattoo parts started to appear on his body without him even noticing it, not that anyone could with the armor he was wearing in his balance breaker, but as this happened the people that were told to cover him, were distracting Cao Cao and were trying to make Samael's attack get destroyed or to do something with them to make sure Issei and Vali were both protected and were given enough breathing room to concentrate on what they were doing.

"Be sent to oblivion, Shadow dragon's Roar!...Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." Vali called out, as the lower part of the armor that was near his mouth disappear and a black shadow breath attack came out of his mouth and hit George in the chest, and before anyone could blink the a fireball came out of his mouth and hit George, and when the fire disappear George was burnt to a crisp, which shocked everyone, but Issei shook his head and focus on charging his attack, while watching Vali doge a attack from Samael.

"Not bad Vali, but still not good enough, Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow!" Cao Cao told Vali, before he called out his attack, which lead to Vali getting a ice like arrow shot into his right shoulder, causing Vali to scream out in pain, and fall on the ground, which luckily for him when he did so he also avoided a attack from Samael, that and his armor actually made the damage smaller than it should have been, and when Cao Cao was about to Vali again he heard something that made him raise an eyebrow, before he turned towards Issei and saw what he made, which looked like a giant shuriken.

"Here we go everyone take cover, and take this Samael, Wind Release Rasenshriken!" Issei called out as the threw his attack at Samael, while everyone took cover, even Cao Cao decided to get out of the way, and the end result of the attack was a giant dome being formed and Samael growling and screeching in pain, and after a few moments of it the dome disappear, reveling a torn up Samael, who was bleeding a lot, but none of it's blood went to the ground, and in a few seconds Samael started to fade away, before it disappear to the point that no one could sense it, which made Issei sigh in relief, but he became stiff when he heard a yelp, and quickly turned around to see Cao Cao in front of Ophis, who looked a little to pale than normal, while she was also on her knees with a tired look on her face, but Issei soon looked at Cao Cao, who was looking at him.

"I have to admit that you done some fine damage, I thought that I would have to leave a lot sooner than planed, but I was wrong, but enough about that, I got what I came for, and the next time we meet you will fall." Cao Cao spoke with a dark look appearing on his face, but before he could say anything else, or do anything else Saji appeared in front of him with a sharp glare aimed at him.

"Poison Dragon's Roar!" Saji yelled, as he launched his breath attack at Cao Cao, but when the attack ended Saji saw a sight that made him gasp in fear, it was Cao Cao spinning his spear in front of him with no damage done to him whatsoever, but he could not move at all, which he looked down and saw that his legs were turned into stone, shocking him, before he looked at Cao Cao's eyes and saw one of them glowing for a second, which Saji saw was the eye Issei thought he destroyed.

"Good attack, but weak opponent, though I have to thank all the people I fought to activate this move, and you will be the first one that it will tested on, Balinayaka Ratana." Cao Cao spoke while pointing his spear at Saji, before anyone knew what was going to happen a beam came out of the spear which blew up in front of Saji, making him scream in pain, aand after a few seconds everyone saw Saji standing with third degree burns all over his body, and purple smoke coming off him, causing everyone to gasp and watch as Saji fell to the ground.

"Saji!" Momo and Ruruko called out as they ran towards Saji, all while Cao Cao just watched, before he walked away but went to George first, but when he made it to his teammate, he looked around with wide eyes, before they narrowed, until he looked at Issei, who noticed the look he was giving.

"There is something going on here Issei, so I suggest you take care of it, after all this is Hades work, along with someone else, their reasons for this I do not know, I am only telling you this because Vali surprised me, and that other one, the one with a dragon sacred gear, he is interesting, and he managed to appear in front of me easily...but until next time." Cao Cao told Issei, who just watched and listened to what he said, along with everyone else, but before anyone could say anything an explosion was heard, and they looked to where Cao Cao was, but they only found nothing there.

"Well...at least we have a guess on what is going on...well for the most part, is everyone alright?" Azazel spoke, before calling out to everyone, which they replied with a groan of pain, while Issei used his dragon wings to head up the buildings floors to a hole that was made in the roof, and when he looked outside he quickly landed to the floor, shocking everyone, since they were healed for the most part.

"We need to take cover now, there are reapers everywhere in this city, one move and we are done, and to make it worse is that in a bit of time the barrier will be gone, and let me tell you it is something that I do not like to happen." Issei told Azazel and everyone, who looked at him with wide eyes, while Azazel's eyes narrowed when he heard what Issei said.

"So this is what Hades was planing, I never knew, I am sorry that I could not give you the information needed to stop him." Bennia spoke in a soft tone of voice, which made Issei look at her with wide eyes.

"You could have not known remember you were nearly killed by your own kind when you were hearing stuff that could be related to this...shit, alight, I suppose we have to deal with these idiots before we can get to escape, or do you have something else in mind Azazel?" Issei replied, before he looked at Azazel with a questioned look on his face, which Azazel did not replied, but instead he flew up to where Issei was before and sensed everything that was happening, then he went and looked outside from the hole and examine everything he saw, before he landed in front of Issei.

"My plan is different, there is someone or something here that feels strange, as if that person was here, but also not here, well in a living sense that is, which makes me nervous if I am going to be honest, along with that there is to many reapers around, which will lead to a drain in energy, so the thing I want you to destroy will allow a small exit for someone to get back up, now do not worry I have someone in mind to go get help, but I need you and everyone else to cover the people that can not defend themselves." Azazel told Issei, who looked at him with wide eyes, before nodding his head, and started to walk outside, till he noticed Ophis following him.

"It would be best if you do not come, we do not know what Cao Cao did to you, so it would be bad if something happened when we do not know the condition you are in." Issei said as he looked Ophis in the eyes, who looked at him for a few minutes before pointing her hand at a piece of rubble, and launched a small attack at it, but her eyes widen when she launched the attack, and the rubble she was trying to destroy became something else, she made a small cratered that was a little to deep.

"That is not good, my power is out of control...I need to get back the thing Cao Cao did to me...there was a drain, I know it, so he took something from me..." Ophis stated with a frown, but her eyes widen when she felt something flick her in the head, and she found out what it was, or who it was, which happened to be Issei, who was looking at her in her eyes.

"Don't be silly, you can't divide infinity, because half of that is still infinity, all you do need is a bit of time to get everything together, so do not worry, everyone has your back, heck I will be here to protect you, I am lucky that Cao Cao did not hurt you, so wait here for a second, and I will be back in a bit." Issei told Ophis, as his helmet disappear for a second, and she looked into his eyes, which showed that he was determined, causing her to smile a bit when she saw it, and she nodded her head, while Issei looked to where Saji was, and saw that Kiyome, Le fay and Asia were trying their best to heal him, but noticed that it took to much energy from them, and they were half way from finishing the second degree burns he had.

"Issei, don't worry, I will watch everyone, and I will protect them." Kiba told Issei, who nodded his head, and patted him on the shoulder, before he walked outside, with Vali, Raynare, Rosswisse, and Bennia.

"Everyone get ready, we need to do this fast and quick, no need for anything flashy or something like that, just go in destroy that tower like thing, and then we are good." Issei told the group, who nodded their heads at what he said, before they went around the whole, taking care of the enemies a bit easily, and stealthy like, until they came to the tower, and Issei blasted it with a dragon shot, quickly destroying it in a blink of an eye, and when he looked back to everyone, he saw that they were taking their opponents down left and right easily, which made him smile a bit, but he froze when he felt that someone was behind him, and he turned around slowly to see that it was a man that he did not expect to see, considering that he was dead for a while now, while the person in front of Issei was looking at him with a smug look on his face, before he looked at the ground to see someone who made his attention go to that person.

"It seems like my target is in my sights, follow me if you wish Red Dragon Emperor, but if you do then I will kill you without a second thought." The man told Issei, but before Issei could say anything the man disappear, which Issei thought he just went to somewhere that was not where him and his friends and lovers were, but at the next second he looked to where Ophis was and saw that he grabbed her, and took him through what looked like a portal like gate, which made him growl when he saw this, and he jumped to the ground quickly and called out Ascalon and quickly took down every reaper that was in his way so that he can make it to the portal in time, but he was a second to late, since the portal closed when he was in front of it, but he saw the design of it, which made his eyes widen a bit when he realized what the portal was.

"So that is what you used, well guess what Shalba, things just got personal, and I will kill you again...but from the looks of it, you were actually brought back from the dead, that should be impossible, maybe...a sacred gear? If so...could it be the Holy Grail? Or was this something that involves science, no, I have to get my head in the game, I will open the dragon gate myself, I wish someone was close so that they could keep the gate stabilize, but no matter, I will have to hope for the best, and get Ophis, then find a way to get both of us out of there." Issei muttered, but the second he was about to open the gate, he felt a bunch of energies coming at him, and they were all reapers, which greatly annoyed him a bit.

"Sky dragon's/god's roar/bellow!" Two voices called out leading to two different color wind types of breath attacks hitting the reapers that were coming, which made Issei looked at the two people that made those attacks, and saw that it was Murayama and Kiyome who made those attacks, but before he could say anything he heard two loud crashes that hit the ground behind him, making him turn around and looked behind him to see that it was Asia and Le fay that did that, and made a giant crater that was a bit deep, which made him blink in awe when he saw the damage that they caused.

"Issei, any words that you would like to say to us, because we know that you are up to something, and I think that we would like to know what you are up to, before you make us worry about if you are coming back or not." Murayama called out to Issei, who looked at her for a few seconds before he sigh and looked at the ground, which made the girls look at him with worry in their eyes, which he noticed.

"I am going after Ophis, someone captured her, I do not know how, maybe they were restricting her power, or something else, I do not know, but I am going to open the dragon gate, and I will try to get her back, so until later I guess, I honestly do not like saying goodbye, and I did not mean to be rude, but...until next time, and when I come back with Ophis, we all will have some ice cream or something like that, yea that will be fun." Issei told the four girls, who looked at him for a few seconds with scared looks in their eyes, since they never heard Issei talked like this before and it unnerved them greatly.

"...Just come back...please..." Asia muttered, which Issei nodded his head in response, before he opened a dragon gate, and dove right into it, while the four girls were bringing him cover, and in a split moment they sensed that Issei has transformed into his True Infinite Dream Red Dragon Hybrid form.

*Unknown location*

"So this is the place they went to, there is barely anything here, seriously I think that something should be done here, it is really depressing." Issei muttered as he long hair was a mess due to the gravity of the place he was in.

"Well you really do not get to have a say in being here, since this will be your grave Red Dragon Emperor." A feminine voice spoke up, which made Issei freeze for a second, before he turn to where the voice came from, and he saw four people in front of him it made his eyes widen a bit when he saw them, and then he saw Ophis a bit away from them with a glare on her face aimed at the four.

"I do not believe it Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, Shalba Beelzebub, and Kokabiel, three of you are suppose to be dead, while the other one is suppose to be sealed up, and to add to it your power is boosted up by a great amount, but still that does not even matter, I am over around twenty times stronger than you altogether, and to make matters worse I am not a devil anymore, meaning you can't use any weaknesses that I would of had if I was one still." Issei told the four, who were all right there, looking the same they did before they died, but when he spoke about his power they were scowling at him from just hearing what he said, until Shalba suddenly gave a small smirk, which made Issei narrow his eyes when he saw it.

"That might be true Red Dragon, and you have bought time for people, I was surprise to hear that they decided to have the promotion test in the underworld, but there is nothing I can do about that, but still that does not mean that you have the advantage, you will die here for sure, so I would suggest that you just do us all a favor and just leave, because the only reason that you came here is to get more power from Ophis it-" Shalba started, that was until he was punched in the face by Issei, and when the punch connected everyone heard a loud crack sound coming from Shalba, and they realized that Issei broke something in the face area, most likely it was the jaw that was broken, and before they knew it Issei appeared in front of Katerea and Creuserey with both of his fist covered in fire as if he was ready to fire an attack.

"Here how about you stay dead this time! Fire Dragon's Roar!" Issei called out, as he launched a breath attack at the two devil's in front of him, burning them, before he rolled in the air to dodge a sword made of light from Kokabiel, who glared at Issei, before launching a bunch of metal like objects, which Issei realized was that they were harden feathers that belonged to Kokabiel, which he avoided by doing some air tactics by losing them, but nothing worked till an idea came to his mind and he quickly went to where the three devils were and got out of the way at the last second, making them take the hit that was suppose to be aimed at him, which made the three devils scream out in pain from the damage that was done to them, while Kokabiel gave an uncaring look towards them, but he looked at Issei with hate. and amusement.

"You have improve a great deal, and that is both annoying and enjoyable for me." Kokabiel stated with a calm look on his face, before he raised his hand up to the sky and hundreds of light spears were made in a blink of an eye, and the moment that they were made he launched them all at Issei, who activated the jets to his armor to avoid every single light spear that was aimed at him with little to no difficulty, which as he was doing this he was getting closer to Koabiel, until he was right in front of him, and the eyes of his armor glowed for a second as if he was powering up an attack.

"This time no one will save you from death Kokabiel! Dragon shot!" Issei told Kokabiel before he launched his attack and shot it at his face causing smoke to appear and cover the devil's and Ophis vision, and after a few moments and the dust settled they saw that Kokabiel's head was gone, and that his body fell back, while slowly being destroyed every few seconds, until after so long his body was gone completely, making the three devil's look at him in shock.

"Well...I suppose we lose then." Shalba spoke, which made Issei look at him as if seeing if he was up to something or not, and in a second Issei disappear and appeared behind Katerea and obliterated her with a energy attack made from ki, and saw a floating needle in the air where he was, which was why he dodged in the first place.

'What the hell was that, and why does every part of my body is reacting negatively to just looking at the needle? Is there something about it that are making my senses act this was, or is it something else? What do you think Ddraig, cause this is reminding me a bit of when we had to deal with Samael, but is a bit different, as if smaller.' Issei thought, which Ddraig listened to, as he was looking at the needle through Issei's balance breaker to see what was up with it himself, and after a few seconds Ddriag gasp when he realized what was wrong with that needle.

[Issei, you need to be careful that needle has Samael's poison on it, and if I am right than one of the last two devil's have it, and will use it to kill you, so be careful, one wrong move and we are done for.] Ddraig told Issei, whose eyes widen when he heard what Ddraig said, and narrowed his eyes and looked at the remaining two devil kings to figure out which one of them launched that needle, while also trying to think of a plan on what to do next.

'Alright thanks for the info Ddraig, these two will be tough to beat considering that I do not know which one of the actually launched the needle, or if they have more on them, and if I just rush in and try to attack head on then I will end up being dead by that poison.' Issei thought with narrowed eyes, till an idea came to his mind and soon he was covered by a red rib cage, which soon grew arms, then a head, making a skeleton version of the Susanoo, which made the two Devil kings that were left to look at what Issei made, before the Susanoo changed once again and it looked a bit more humanoid, and changed again so that the Susanoo was covered by what it looks like armor, which soon grew legs which were also covered in armor, which shocked everyone, till finally the Susanoo changed for a final time and became similar to what Vali's Susanoo was like, except that Issei's was red, and had a broad sword, which Issei and everyone looked at form of Issei's Susanoo with awe, before Issei shook his head and glared at both Shalba and Creuserey, before charging at them with his Susanoo and appeared in front of them, and slashed both of them easily, before black flames appeared and consume both devil's turning them into ash, and once he was sure he got them Issei turned towards Ophis, and called off his Susanoo, and turn back ti his base form with his balance breaker still on, then calmly floated towards her, until he was right in front of her, causing her to smile a bit when she saw him.

"Thank you Issei, I suppose that I need a lot of time to be fully healed do I?" Ophis asked Issei, who looked at her wrist, and saw something on them, which he grabbed her arm lightly and brought it close to his face so that he could take a look at what was on her wrist, and carefully examine it, before nodding his head.

"No that is wrong, you are back to normal, this thing on your wrist is actually limiting your power, and causing your control to be wild, so it I just take it off you will be fine, and will be ready to fight again." Issei replied, before he ripped the thing off of Ophis wrist, and a sudden burst of power came from Ophis, showing that she was back to normal, which made her blink a bit when she realized this.

"...Strange...but thank you, I feel better now." Ophis told Issei, who nodded his head to what she said, before looking at her in the eyes, while she looked at the eyes of his helmet with a small smile on her face, which he returned, though she could not see it, Ophis felt that he was smiling under his helmet.

"Come on Ophis, let's go home, I bet the others are starting to worry about us." Issei spoke up, which Ophis nodded her head, and was about to follow Issei, till Issei grabbed her and started to fly up, but as he did so he coughed up some blood, and felt that his right arm and leg went limp, along with his left leg, which made Ophis looked at Issei with wide eyes when she saw what happened to him, and she looked around until she saw Shalba a few feet away with his right arm raised up and was aimed at the parts of Issei's legs, but in a swift move of action Issei made Ascalon appeared from his left arm, and cut off the parts of his body that were limped, which shocked Ophis and Shalba, even though it was a bit small from Shalba it was still recognizable.

"Issei!" Ophis called out to Issei, as his armor was covering the parts of his body that he cut off, which made Shalba scoff at what he was seeing in front of his eyes after he came back from reality.

"Foolish, he tried to get rid of the effect of Samael's cursed blood, but all he did in the process was weaken himself, and that is all." Shalba claimed with a straight face, making Ophis grit her teeth in anger.

'I'm sorry...that this happened Ddraig...I tried everything I could, and it seems that I only...got myself near death this time, if not then I will die...' Issei thought, as his eyes were barely open while he was looking at Ophis, who was glaring at Shalba, as if she was about to attack him, which made him want to move, but from what he did he barely could feel anything from his body, which made him groan mentally from the thought of this.

[Stay with me Issei, keep listening, and keep replying to my voice, just do not give up, do not look into the light, or anything of the sort, or I swear to ever divine being that if you die, I will use my next host to go to Hades realm so that I can find your soul, or head to heaven so I can beat the hell out of you!] Ddraig growled, which made Issei laugh a bit in his mind, before he looked at Ophis a bit more, and soon turn his head at Shalba, and growled when he saw a smug look on his face, which made Issei a bit pissed off when he saw the look on his face, which made Issei's left hand clench for a few seconds, till he noticed what he did, and try doing it again, but noticed as he was doing this his movements were slow, causing him to nod his head in his mind, before he concentrate some energy into his left hand.

'...I can't...I can't die like this...I will not die like this, I promised that I would return...so I will return!' Issei thought, as a Rasengan started to form from his left hand, which Ophis noticed, and looked at Issei's body with wide eyes, before Issei's wings moved, and started to make his body float in the air, which shocked both Shalba and Ophis, before Shalba growled out in annoyance.

"Why! Why won't you just die!" Shalba yelled out loud in frustration, but before he did anything Issei appeared in front of him, which made him freeze in place, while the Rasengan in Issei's hand started to grow at a fast pace.

"I will not die...you will die here...by this attack, Chōōdama Rasengan!" Issei called out, as he made the giant sphere in his hand to hit Shalba, who started to scream when the attack hit him, and in a few seconds Shalba was erased from existence, and was dead for good, and once this happened Issei became still, and just floated with no movement or sound coming from him, which Ophis noticed and hurried towards him, and noticed that his breath was slowing down, slowly but it was so low that it sounds like he could stop breathing at any moment.

"Issei! There has to be something I can do, but what?! I can't heal this, all I can supply is energy, Ddraig how do we keep Issei alive, I can't lose him, me and the girls can't lose him!" Ophis called out with tears actually threatening to come out of her eyes, as she looked at the still form of Issei inside his armor, while his left hand glowed a bit, but the light was actually starting to dim a bit.

[I am sorry to say, but there is nothing neither of us can do, or anyone at all can do, the hospitals might save him, but Issei managed to cut the parts of his body off fast enough so he would not be affected by the poison from Samael's curse, I am doing my best to make sure that he does not die from blood lose, and to make sure nothing gets inside the armor, but that is the best I can do, and while I think you could do something, there is one problem, and that is that his body parts are missing, all you would be able to do is keep energy in his body to keep him alive, or refill his life force probably, but with his right arm and leg gone, as well as his left leg all we would do is make the situation worse, so if we want to save his life, we need to find a way to get his body parts back, but that is where the problem lies, we do not know how to do that, I am sorry, but we are at our max of options, this might really be his end.] Ddraig told Ophis, who allowed her tears to fall, and be blown away from her face, as her hair covered her eyes, till she heard a roar that made her eyes widen, and she turned around and looked everywhere.

"...We are in the dimensional gap...meaning Great Red is here...that is it...Ddriag I know a way how we can save Issei, but for me to do this I need time, so please I am begging you to keep him alive long enough so my plan can work." Ophis spoke to Ddriag, while not keeping her eyes off a certain direction, while all Ddriag did was scoff at what she said, which she could tell was in disbelief that she would say that to him.

[Like I was going to let him die, who do you think I am, I actually like my host, he is a good person to have as a friend, so do not worry Ophis, I will keep Issei alive, you have my word as not only as his friend, but as a dragon, so do what you must, and be careful, if Issei happens to get enough strength, and you are doing something that can cost you your life he will get us and join you in the fight, and murder the being that tends to harm you.] Ddriag replied, which made Ophis think about all the times she spent with Issei, and allowed a small ghost of a smile appear on her face, before she nodded her head, and gave a sound that sounds like she was giving her approval at what Ddraig said, before she started to go to the direction she heard the roar come from, and when she came to the source she saw a giant red dragon with golden like eyes, which looked at her for a few seconds, before looking away and faced forward.

"Great Red, I need your help with something important, so if you would please, listen I will explain why I need your help, even though I do not like you at all." Ophis called out, which made the dragon now known as Great Red to look at her with surprise in the dragons eyes, but heard what she said at the end, and rolled it's eyes at what she said to the dragon itself.

"Give me one good reason, why I should even help you in the first place." The dragon replied with a male like voice, causing Ophis to narrow her eyes at what Great Red said, and her power started to leak out of her, before disappearing after a few seconds.

"Well if you will not help in the natural way, then we will deal this with a fight." Ophis declared, which made Great Red raise an eyebrow, but before the dragon could say, until he saw a fire that appeared in her eyes, which made him a bit curious in seeing that look in her eyes, especially when he saw that there looked to be life in her eyes, which made him even more intrigued into what or who made her act like this.

"And what is it that you want if you win? To tell me to leave?" Great Red asked, but he was a bit shocked when he saw that Ophis just shook her head in a negative like fashion to what he said, which made him even more curious in what happened to her.

"No, I need you to help me save someone that I have grown to...love..." Ophis replied, but when she said the word 'love' a fond smile appeared on her face, which made Great Red look at her in shock, before he raised an eyebrow at what she said, well from what it looked like he was raising an eye, before a small growl came from his mouth, which made Ophis get ready for battle when she heard the growl.

"I know what you are doing, and if you want me to help, then you must beat me for me to help you." Great Red growled out, which made Ophis narrow her eyes at what he said, but nodded her head and got in a fighting stance similar to Issei, which made Great Red look at her with even more curiosity when he saw the stance she was making.

"If that is how it is suppose to be, then so be it, I will not lose this one fight to you." Ophis declared with fire burning in her eyes, while Great Red got ready to fight the moment he heard what she said to him.

'Let us see your resolve Ophis, if you have change then I will help you, but if you did not make any changes at all then you might as well forget about me helping you with anything.' Great Red thought, before he roared and charged at Ophis, as she started to charge at him as well.

*Location unknown*

"Ugh...my eye..." Cao Cao groaned, as he was holding his eye that he got replaced, while Jeanne looked at it when Cao Cao got his hand off it, and widen her eyes when she saw the condition of it.

"Cao Cao you need to get rid of this eye, there is poison in it, and if you do not let me then it will hit your nerves and will slowly kill you." Jeanne told Cao Cao, who looked at her with a wide eye, from his good eye, before he growled and nodded his head to Jeanne to do what she needs to do, which she started to do immedietly, and after a few minutes Jeanne got the eye out and threw it away.

"How did this happen...that dragon slayer, he actually did some damage...hehe, interesting...but what to do about my missing eye?" Cao Cao muttered to himself, while Jeanne washed her hands, but in the process she saw a box on a counter, which made her raise an eyebrow in confusion, cause she was sure that there was a small box there before, and as she looked at the box, she saw a name, giving her an idea on who was suppose to get it.

"Cao Cao you have something delivered to you, I would be careful though I do not know who sent it." Jeanne told Cao Cao, who raised one eyebrow at what she said, before he grabbed the box and looked at it, but made sure to use all of his senses to see if anything was wrong, but was lucky to see that the box was not a trap, but he did sense something off about it, so he slowly and carefully opened the box, and what he saw inside was something that made his one eye widen in shock, before he noticed a note, and quickly scanned it to see who sent the box, and for what reason, but when he finished, he looked a bit confused, but nodded his head, and slowly pulled out what was with the note in the box, and what Jeanne saw made her look at the object in confusion, since the item Cao Cao grabbed was an eye, and the next thing she knew Cao Cao shoved the thing in his empty eye socket, and it started to glow green, shocking her even more, which made Cao Cao look at her with his one eye staring at her.

"Jeanne we have a week to get ready, so tell the others to be ready for anything, we have a job to do, and there is nothing no one here can say for us to disagree with the job, because after this week we will join in destroying the underworld, and if we complete what we are suppose to do, I will keep not only this eye, but we will gain a powerful ally in trying to stop the dragon emperor's, so go tell everyone for me." Cao Cao told Jeanne, as he opened his new eye, which made her gasp when she saw the eye, it was a purple silver like eye, with ripple like black marks on it, and when she saw it there was only one name that came to her mind when she saw it, one that was apart of legends as one of the strongest eyes known to every single being in the world.

'This is not good, this is not good at all, the Rinnegan, the strongest eye known to man, even more stronger than the sharingan from what people say, and if that is the case, then I do not want to deal with it, but even though Cao Cao is on our side, he might not know how to use that eye, so all I can do is hope that he knows what he is doing, but the task we are given, why are we given it, and who is ordering us to do so, we are actually separated with all the other groups so who is commanding us to do this, and if I am going to do this, is it right? Or if I am going to do this, am I the bad one?' Jeanne thought while biting on her lip with a confused look on her face, but Cao Cao did not look at her, but he did look at the note carefully, but he did sigh after a few seconds silently.

'This will be our final fight Issei Hyoudou, when we met again, if you are alive or not, we will finally settle our differences once and for all.' Cao Cao declared in his mind, while he crush the piece of paper in his hand, which made his single Rinnegan eye glow a bit, showing that he was ready for the fight that was soon to come.
