"Now that I think about it, this looks like a really bad idea." Issei calmly said as he sat in the Vip section of the rating game arena with Odin and Ambriel.
"You worry to much boyo, it seems you haven't had any for quiet a while." Odin said with a perverted chortle.
"Again how does that even fit in with the logic of what I just said?" Issei asked back easily.
"If you don't even know the answer to that question than you don't deserve to be called my apprentice." Odin said with a grin.
"And when did I become your apprentice and what exactly did you agree to teach me." Issei replied boredly Ambriel was fighting back a grin, the banter between the white dragon emperor and the ancient all father was amusing to say the least.
"I agreed to teach you the most ancient and noble art of understanding women." Odin proudly exclaimed.
"And you claim to know how a womans brain works?" Issei speculatively asked.
"Yup." Came the swift reply.
"I sincerely doubt that." Issei said with a shrugg with a disbelieving expression on his face.
"And why is that?" Odin asked challengingly.
"Because if what Rose chan tells me about you and Freyja sama..." Issei trailed of with a smirk causing Odins grin to falter. It was known all around asgard that the chief valkyrie was the only one who could control his perverted habbits and if Rossweisse told it to Issei his reputation was on the virtual cusp of oblivion.
"Hmm it seems like I need to give Rossweisse chan a stern spanking for spreading around untrue rumors." Odin said in an attempted stern voice.
"You do know that makes you a pedophile along with a pervert right cuz Rose chan is around just a 1/1000th your age." Issei deadpanned at Odin.
Odin in response grumbled good naturedly about annoying smartass youngsters who did not have an ounce of respect for their elders. However it as at this time that he noticed the subtle arrival of the old maou faction soldiers just behind the arrival of the astorath heir diodera. He had to admit that their concealment spell was a rather good one.
"Well it seems that the party is about to begin. Who goes in first?" Issei asked blandly as he released the divine dividing and promptly entered his balance breaker. Ambriel too stretched her arms a bit and the released her 4 pairs of fallen wings showing of that she could hardly be called a weak fighter.
"Welp I'll go in first and open the path for you two youngsters to enter the fray." Odin said as he teleported down just as Diodera allowed entry to the khaos brigade before flashing away.
(Down in the battle field)
"Mmhmm young girls these days really are the best." Odin casually commented as he raised akenos skirt and looked at her panty clad bum. Akeno gave a small eep before jumping aside while placing her hands on her bum.
"Odin sama what are you doing here?" Rias asked hiding the bit of annoyance that she felt.
"Well I am sure Sirzechs will explain it all to you later on but for now you need to leave. I will take care of all the matters. Though where did that young astorath go to?" He asked her.
"He went to that white castle over there." Rias said pointing towards the castle in question.
"Jolly good why don't you go now?Everything will be explained shortly." Odin said making Rias nod before creating a magic transportation circle and leaving along with her peerage.
Odin then looked over at the now wary looking Old maou faction army and shouted out a taunt "Oi Oi don't get afraid now, don't you children want a piece of eternal glory that will come if you manage to beat me?"
This taunt seemed to have its intended purpose as the army gave a loud war cry before charging at Odin who merely smirked and bought out his spear Gungnir and fired a large torrent of wind at the attacking army cutting down a fair amount of enemies whilst leaving the others in disarray.
(Back to the vip room)
"Well looks like its our turn next." Issei idly commented after watching Odins attack.
"Yup. Though I have to ask where are the rest of your peerage members?" Ambriel asked curiously.
"All of them are stationed around different areas in the underworld. They are under the command of several ultimate class generals so it should work out." Issei replied casually.
"Arent you even a little bit worried about what could happen to them?" Ambriel asked a slight coldness seeping into her tone.
"Oh I am absolutely terrified, but in the end I chose to have faith in not only them but also in their abilities. All of us trained together and I know it wouldn't be respectful if I doubted their training. Now let us leave." Issei firmly answered before jumping out the vip room and flying straight towards the army.
Ambriel who was surprised at his reasonings quickly shook her head and flew after him. Her reservations towards him and his peerage were slowly but surely thawing away and she was hesitatingly playing with idea if joining his peerage. However she quickly put an end to that line of thought. Not only did she prefer to stay alone for most of the time but she now had a battle to take part in.
(Back to the battle field)
Before the army could regroup Issei appeared right in the amidst of them and shouted "Half Dimension." Albion soon followed up with a shout of "(Half Dimension)"
As he said that the space around the soldiers started constricting unto itself tightening the area and squeezing all of the old maou devil soldiers to shout in pain as they felt themselves get crushed. It was then that Ambriel appeared all 8 of her wings on display. With a small grunt she created a monstrous amount of light arrows and then pointed them at the now restrained old maou soldiers.
"Divine Rain." She called out her attack name as the arrows impaled the soldiers instantly killing them due to the potency they held.
Issei whistled appreciatively at the sight before turning to Ambriel and saying "You know we should spar sometime."
"Maybe, you sure you can handle me Yuki kun?" Ambriel asked back teasingly.
Issei was surprised by the new side Ambriel but inwardly shrugged and decided not to make a big deal out of it. He looked at Ambriel with a smirk "Oi Oi don't you think you are underestimating what I can do after all that I have achieved? And Yuki ? Really?" He finished with a small tilt of his head.
"Its not underestimation if you don't know how strong I am. And yes yuki. You are an Ice drake arent you? So yes Yuki." She finished with a triumphant look on her face.
"Heh it does make quiet a bit of sense." Issei said as he rubbed his chin. "Though that does mean that I now need to give you a nickname as well." He finished with a grin.
However before Ambriel could reply Odin cleared his throat and with a smirk said "The two of you can flirt later on for now we need to not only wind up this army but also take care of the traitor who has taken refuge at the castle over there."
"Heh you should know it better than anyone old man, every place is the place for a flirt you just have to be good at that. And as for the traitor can you take care of things here, I want to be the one who brings him down." Issei said finishing with a slight growl.
"Well said and yes we can handle things here. Get going." Odin said as Ambriel nodded her head in agreement.
That was all the incentive that Issei needed as he promptly turned towards the castle and jetted away. "I wonder whats plaguing his mind." Ambriel muttered to herself as she watched Issei fly away.
"Whatever it may be I am positive that he will be able to overcome it. You can't be someone who can fight of a god and come back alive with a weak resolve." Odin said in a wise voice before turning back to the rest of the army. As he was finishing things up he created a magical circle to let Azazel know of the latest developments to take place.
(With Azazel, Sirzechs and Aine)
Things were just as chaotic in this area as it were with odins group. Only this time it was much more chaotic since one of the old maou leaders were leading this side. As Azazel lazily flicked away at the small fry soldiers a communication circle appeared right next to his ear. Recognising the symbol to be the one Odin uses he accepted the call and asked.
"Yo you old fart how is everything going on your end of the board?" Azazel asked him.
"We are almost clear here you brat. Your daughter is quiet the fighter. Also the white dragon emperor brat has gone of to the face the traitor. What about your end?" Odin said as he finished the report and asked for Azazels side of things.
"Oh its still going on over here. We are waiting for the general over here to appear, he still hasn't come through." Azazel replied back.
"Alright I'll leave you to it." Odin said before he cut down the call.
"Whatever you geezer." Azazel muttered as he killed a number of low class soldiers. He was bought out of his musings when Aine and Sirzechs joined him.
"Who was that Azazel?" Sirzechs asked.
"Odins group, they have apparently taken control over their area." Azazel replied.
"Are Ise kun and Ambriel chan Alright?" Aine asked before Sirzechs could make any more enquires.
"Yeah both of them are fine. Ambriel chan and odin are winding up the few remnants of the army over at their area, while Issei has gone on to find diodera and deal with him." Azazel answered.
"Will he be ok on his own?" She worriedly asked Azazel.
"He will be fine, Issei is after all someone who thrives in a pressure situation and in the end always comes out on top." Sirzechs said getting a small nod from Aine.
Any further conversation was cut down when Creuserey Asmodeus appeared before the trio all the while glaring down at them.
"And finally the man of the hour shows up, one of the masterminds himself." Azazel commented jovially.
"I am the true descendant of Asmodeus, Creuserey Asmodeus," Creuserey said with a sneer stuck on his face.
Creuserey had the appearance of a good looking noble man wearing the clothes beffitting his noble looks. His clothes were black with dark red belts and motifs along with a black cape.
He had black that were hair tied up in a small ponytail and violet eyes that glinted maliciously. The final notable feature of his pointy ears and pale skin.
Before any of them could reply Creuserey continued with high vitrol "As a member of the True Satan Faction, I will avenge Katarea Leviathan," he said as he pulled his fist up in front of him "Using the power received from Ophis," a magical crest with purple light infinite symbol that appeared on his palm, "We will destroy this world and create new worlds for devils!"
Azazel smiled and was ready to fight him only to stop when another person appeared in front of him "Sirzechs."
Sirzechs looked at one of the leaders of the Old Satan Faction. He had a smile on his face and it was hard to guess what was going on in his head.
Creuserey, who looked at Sirzechs and with a snarl said, "You damned an artificial existence!"
The smile on Sirzechs's face drained down until only a blank visage "Creuserey, for the devils to continue their existence, a war in the underworld in unnecessary burden that will result in our extinction it is time to stop this petty agenda.
Creusereys face reddened with rage and he snarled, "A bastard who deals not only with a fallen angel but the angel themselves, has no right to speak as a devil, you dare call our noble cause petty? Such a slight will not go unanswered."
"Well, I don't even want to hear from anyone who enters a happy-go-luck misfit like the Khaos Brigade," Aine said derisively, she found all of the old maou heirs to be stuck idiots with no common sense.
"Misfit? You have misunderstood, there is someone who you shouldn't provoke there, and where is the family loyalty Aine lucifuge, after all your brother sports the old maou faction just like the current lord Lucifer Rizviem." Creuserey said with a smug smile.
Azazel and Sirzechs were startled but they didn't show it on their expression. They were wondering who this person that Creuserey talked about. Aine however had gone pale faced, the fact that Creuserey had mentioned her brothers in the present tense gave off warning spells in her mind. However she put that thought process on hold, she would talk to her sister after this battle was done with.
Creuserey still remembered him and said, "Your peace won't last long! We will destroy this world and the ones beyond the scope of this realm.!!!"
Fed up Sirzechs decided that it was now enough and flew towards Creuserey firing a blast of the power of destruction as he did so. Creuserey hastily dodged before he looked over at Sirzechs who now had his leader face on.
"Creuserey, as a great devil king, I will eliminate everyone who is against the current underworld." He raised his hand and the red blackish sphere appeared in his palm. He then calmly threw it at Creuserey and was enlarging itself as it flew. Soon it had engulfed Creuserey and was destroying his very being.
"Th - this!!" Creuserey said as his hands and feet started to vanish. He looked at Sirzechs and Azazel with a furious gaze and desperately shouted "First The red dragon emperor Vali Lucifer and now you, WHY DO THE ONES WITH POWER OPPOSE US. SIRZECHS!!!!!" He screamed as he was completely engulfed by the power of destruction before he wilted away into nothingness.
"You know you could have easily taken him in and found out about most of the bullshit that he was spouting out." Azazel commented as he floated upto Sirzechs's level.
"True but if what he said about the leader is true than we will meet him at one point or the other, I am more worried about his statement on the loyalties of the Lucifer clan. It seems I will have to pay old Rizviem a visit." Sirzechs said getting a nod of agreement from Azazel.
"Umm Ni sama if everything is done can I go back home?" Aine asked in a slightly subdued voice.
Not knowing the reason for the change but understanding it non the less, Sirzechs nodded and said "You may go Aine chan, I will send Issei back as soon as he is done."
Aine nodded gratefully before she activated a transportation circle and left.
BANG THATS IT FOR THE CHAP HOPE YOU LIKED IT. THE NEXT CHAP WILL DEAL WITH ISSEI TAKING ON DIODERA AND THE SUCH. KEEP READING.
