With Issei:
"Come on Millicas! Doing some weak punches like that will never be able to take out a Dragon God level threats!"
I-I know Issei-nii!"
At the currently moment, you are witnessing(well, reading) the current wielder of the magic Power of Destruction training with his idol Issei Hyoudou, or better known as the Oppai Dragon Emperor. How did this occur you ask? Well, Millicas had simply had Issei when the sacred gear holder was reading one of his many hentai manga's so Issei, being Issei, quickly finished it and went out to train in some wasteland in Hell. Now, Millicas was throwing POD incased punch after punch at Issei for an hour as Issei was casually dodging all of his attacks.
All of a sudden, Millicas jumps back and swipes his hand as a huge of POD is launched at Issei, who holds his hand out as a green barrier appears in front of him and blocks him from the wave. Millicas then powers up him with POD and speeds directly behind Issei and makes a scythe made of ice and swings it at the human-dragon as he lifts up his finger, creating a wall of fire between him and Millicas.
"Your getting faster kid, that's good!" Issei compliments with a grin on his face as Millicas glares at him and rushes over to him again and starts throwing more and more punches at him
"By the Dragon Gods, you seriously either had some built up anger in you or your just very determined to beat me. So, which one is it?" Issei questions as the teenager slams his hands onto the ground and shoots a large pillar of ice at the dragon, who simply dodges
Millicas doesn't just stop with this pillar though, as he quickly lifts his fingers up one by one as ice pillars of the same size at Issei who jumps back or to the sides to avoid any one of the ice pillars hitting him, knowing that if one did it might leave him open. Seeing this, Millicas stomps one of his legs onto the ground, covering the entire ground of the wasteland they were fighting on in ice and extends his arms towards the dragon as hundreds and hundreds of more ice pillars are fired towards him. Issei, looking down at the ground and at the incoming pillars, exhales a little as he soon covers himself in an aura of fire.
"Inferno Explosion!" Issei exclaims. With that said, an enormous bubble of fire erupts from around Issei as any and all ice in the wasteland is scorched into nothing and unknowingly to him, the shockwaves from this attack starts to scorch the sides of some nearby mountains. When the attack concludes, he starts to look around but isn't seeing Millicas anywhere before all of a sudden, his ear twitches.
{Partner...} Ddraig begins to tell him for the first time since they started their little training session
"I know" Issei says before getting into a kneeling position and places his hand onto the ground and starts channeling energy into it as the ground begins to crack as a green light starts to emit from it.
"Would you like to do the honors Ddraig?" Issei asks the Heavenly Dragon
{Sure, EXPLSOION!} Roared the dragon
At that moment, as the ground explodes in a green light as rocks elevate or are vaporized while the ground itself begins crumbling. Issei soon stands up and looks up to see Millicas in an ice bubble, now flying from his attempt to sneak attack him from the ground and using his ice magic to protect himself. Seeing him in the sky, Issei moves at light blinding speeds and appears directly in front of Millicas' protective barrier and shatters it with a punch. With his protection now gone, Millicas quickly activates his demonic wings and flies down onto the now crumbled and broken ground as Issei levitates onto the ground using air magic.
"That was pretty smart-no, brilliant actually. Throwing countless ice pillars at your opponent before using the now covered ice ground to go under them and go in for the kill, impressive! On top of that you actually managed to pull out some ice from no external source or even your hands for the first few pillars in. Hell! A place where the hydrogen levels are pretty low and there isn't even any water around! If you weren't battle someone with heightened senses then you may have done quite a bit of damage." Issei tells the young devil while patting his head as the boy pouts
"Still, I didn't catch you at all. I would've thought that me attacking you relentlessly for the past hour would've put some type of drain on your stamina..." Millicas says as Issei smiles proudly with his chest pressed out
"You can thank Great Red for that! After taking his scales and from the training with many dragons along with even having Ddraig supply me with energy I can fight for days on end! Well...maybe for a day with just my regular stamina hehe." Issei says while rubbing his hand behind his neck
After a couple of minutes, the two then sit down and start to discuss how their lives are going while resting on ice chairs, courtesy of Millicas.
"It still amazes me Millicas, when I first saw you were just some little kid who admired anything about me but now you are fucking Lucifer! A person who can level cities with single attacks and can take on the likes of Sins and even dragons! Man, if you would've told me 7 years ago that I would've watched you grow up into the person you are now I would've called ya crazy!" Issei compliments, making Millicas blush a little in embarassment
"Yeah, but back then I was just a little boy. After everything that happened involving me and you I couldn't have been the same kid I was back then..." Millicas says while trailing off a bit at the end, making Issei frown a little.
"Poor kid, I'm surprised he hadn't lost his sanity by now." Issei thinks to himself while looking at the now silent kid
{Its all thanks you, Maria, the team and the rest of his friends that he was able to get through the battles and loss he's faced over the years} Ddraig tells his partner
"Still, regardless of supernatural species a kid like him should be enjoying life and playing! Not having to lose most of his family in one day, lose the rest right in front of him, lose a limb and have to lead a whole race into war!" Issei exclaims in his head, now looking at Millicas' one good arm and his now cloaked stub for an arm
{Remember partner, he had to go through just as much as Maria and she turned out fine} Ddraig states, trying to ease up the mood but pulls back when he feels Issei glare at the sky, knowing it was meant to be directed at him
"Maria was different. She was raised up to be a hunter from her family and kill any and all demons. Tch, to be honest I'm actually kind of glad Ryo killed what remained of her family before they could make her one. But Millicas….Millicas was different from her. He was just a regular kid despite being a devil but after his parents death and me going missing for three years he trained himself to be this Devil leader and killer." Issei says as Ddraig sighs
{I get it, I get it. Every member of Team Dragon had different upbringings if you remember Issei. No person we've met exactly had an easy life, including even me.} Ddraig tells him as Issei releases a smirk
"Didn't you have that hard life because you and Albion couldn't stop fighting" Issei tells the dragon amused, who only chuckles a little
{That may be true but let me remind you I didn't battle someone with killer intent because that made faces at girl you crushed on} Ddraig comments as Issei blushes
"I-I was not crushing on her! Besides, that dude was totally eye raping her!" Issei exclaims suddenly standing up, making Millicas look at him confused
"Umm...you okay Issei-nii?" Millicas asks confused, though his words falls on deaf ears as the person starts to argue with his dragon
{Haha! Eye raping in the way you do to every big-busted female you see! That man merely looked taken away by her beauty and you went on and attacked him!} Ddraig says as Issei blushes more
"I didn't just attack him..." Issei tries to convince his partner as the Heavenly Dragon continues to laugh
{Yes you did! You went at him in full semi-dragon form and started throwing your red energy balls at him as he ran away and I'm still surprised how he managed to live! Still...I'm not surprised at all. Dragons are very territorial after all} The dragon says with a cross of his arms
"Why you little d-
"ISSEI-NII" Millicas screams as said person hurriedly covers his ears in an attempt to block out the noise
"HOLY FUCKING HELL! BY THE DRAGON GODS WHY DID YOU SCREAM IN MY EAR!" Issei screeches out as Millicas crosses his arms and stares at his idol
"Well for the past 5 minutes I've been trying to get your attention as to why you were standing up and glaring at the distance, but you didn't answer." Millicas informs him as Issei sighs and calms down
"Sorry, it was just that me and Ddraig were having a little spat over something..." Issei answers as Millicas gains a slightly confused look
"What was is it about?" Millicas asks. Just as Issei was about to tell him not to worry about it, Ddraig speaks up first.
{It was about my partners feelings about one Ravel Phenex} Ddraig says as Issei blushes embarrassed as Millicas clicks his tongue amused
"WHY DON'T YOU GO TO SLEEP YOU BLOODY DRAGON!" Issei screams before looking over to Millicas, who stares at him with a smirk on his face
"So...Ravel huh." Millicas starts before Issei points at him
"If you start with Ravel I swear I will start about Maria." Issei tells the young devil before smirking when Millicas gains a dust of pink on his cheeks
It was common knowledge in Issei's friend and ally group that Millicas had a crush on the young super demon. It was pretty obvious, ranging from the long stares he would look at her with, the blushing and how he basically admitted to having one on her. In his defense he had a crush on her ever since he was nine and after she was traveling the multiverse to fight some travelers and came back and he was the same age as her people started to ship them together...mostly people like Kunou, Riser and even Lucy. Even better, they were both fifteen right now! They could definitely date but there were three main factors...
One, Maria was very, very dense when it comes to romance. She may be a battle genius and read people like an open picture book but when it came to love, expressing love, sex and anything like that she didn't know anything. Hell, he remembers one time when Riser swore and used words such as 'Fuck' when he was arguing with Kunou, the girl literally looked the word up and started asking people, even random people, if they would like to fuck. Even after explaining the word to her, she still didn't understood and opted to use it to swear.
Second, everyone was protective of her! Because of her denseness and how cute she acts everyone automatically has a 'Must Protect' mode in their brains but no more than Ryo and Issei themselves. They basically have a murderous big brother mode whenever she interacted with a boy her age. Granted, the two knew for a fact she could take care of herself as she is described by Ddraig himself that to be as strong as him at full power, but that didn't really stop them from threatening to attack anybody who stood in the way of her potential safety.
Third...he honestly thinks she has a harem. Seriously, she not only attracted him but her two friends Haru and Damien but also a multiverse traveling dragon hunter and even some other people from other universes! On top of that, three of them were stronger than him and she's attracted to strong people...he thinks if the looks he gives that dragon hunter and one girl are anything to go by. In his mind, he really doesn't think he stands much of a chance against the other combatants.
"Ok, ok. I'll drop it." Millicas says as Issei crosses his arms with a pleased smirk on his face
"Good! Now, what else should we do today?" Issei says before looking off into the distance, trying to figure what else to do with Millicas today since, afterall, they were supposed to be training.
{If you two are still up to train, then I suggest that the young Lucifer here goes to meet some of the people who trained you} Ddraig suggests as Issei snaps his fingers
"Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?!" Issei asks himself before looking at Millicas. "So kid, who do you wanna see?"
"Well..." Millicas starts before holding up his fingers and starts to count of the list of Issei's mentors. "Well, we see Ryo almost everyday but he's out somewhere. Mr. Tannin is teaching a class today and Ddraig here is in your body-
{I mean, my partner can probably take you in here...} Ddraig says but his words fall on deaf ears as Issei suddenly speaks up
"Guess that leaves only Red-sensei...but Dragon Gods know where he is..." Issei says as Ddraig mentally face palms from the pun his partner unintentionally used
"Why don't we ask Ophis, she's at the house last time I checked." Millicas says as Issei brings a hand up to his chin
"Yeah but while we can use magic circles to teleport we can't just go into the Dimensional Gap once we learn where he is due to its limits, we're gonna need her to teleport us there." Issei says as Millicas nods
"Ok...let's do this" Millicas tells him
Timeskip to Issei and Millicas taking to Ophis brought to you by chibi Issei, Ddraig and Millicas playing with ice:
Finding Ophis at the house was a relatively easy task, she was just sitting on the couch eating a tub of ice cream(which happens to be her sixth if the other empty tubs on the couch and the floor says anything) and watching some anime. Surprisingly, all of the other members of Team Dragon happened to be out at the moment. Ryo was somewhere with Ravel in Hell and had taken Slimy with them, Rossweisse and Kunou was visiting the Shinto Gods, Riser was visiting his parents, Gasper went to speak with Elmenhilde, and Maria took up a mission.
"So you want me to take you to Red-baka so that Luci here can see what kind of training you and him did? Am I right?" Ophis asks, not looking away from her T.V while Millicas sweatdrops from the name the Dragon God had given him
"Correct!" Issei shouts with a thumbs up as Ophis finally turns her head towards him
"What's in it for me?" She asks as Issei blinks
"...Eh...?!" He says, startled as Ophis nods her head
"You know that me and that baka doesn't get along in the slightest and I have no intent on ever visiting him. So I'll ask again, what can I get in return?" Ophis asks as Issei rushes to think of something
"Umm...the satisfaction of doing a favor for a friend?" Issei says, hoping that would work but since Ophis doesn't look too impressed at the idea, he starts thinking again. After a minute or two, he finally thinks of something.
"I got it! I'll cook for you for the entire wek!" Issei tells her with a snap of his fingers as Ophis narrows her eyes a little
"You know you can only cook potato based foods." Ophis the dragon, making him slump his shoulders in sadness. It was true, Issei could only make something that was potato based, even after all of his times of living in some forest owasteland or any place away from human civilization he couldn't make anything! He guessed he was just naturally bad at it, but looking back at it so were the other members of Team Dragon...
Ryo and Maria, while granted they go weeks and weeks without eating, they still needed coffee for some reason that Ryo could describe as "a super demon can live off of coffee alone for months but eventually need other things". Even then, the two weren't the best at cooking, as they would always sometimes burn or freeze something over and is one of the reasons they always needed to get takeout if they even wanted a big meal. Thank the Dragon Gods that they always had sweets at home like ice cream, chocolate and cookies or the two would've lost it.
Gasper and Kunou weren't that bad but weren't good at the same time. Sure, Kunou could make meat good but that didn't really cut it when she started living with TEam Dragon and Gasper wasn't much batter when they all had to eat something healthy.
Rossweisse was never allowed to cook for anyone, after many incidents where she blew up the house or nearly killed one of the members everyone, including herself, agreed she was never allowed back into the kitchen. Same with Ophis, to this day he didn't know how her and Ryo got through that week alone together at the house when the rest of the Team was on a mission.
Millicas was still a kid but he wasn't that good. Ravel did try to teach both Issei and Millicas but they just weren't that good at it in the end.
Ravel, however, was the team's cook. She somehow knew to cook everything perfectly and beyond that everyone basically demanded she be the cook when the team first got together after Sin War. Her brother Riser, surprisingly, was almost as good as Ravel but even he agreed that Ravel should cook. Though, if Ravel couldn't do it Riser was always ready to make food for the team.
"Maybe...we can have Ryo let you cook for him for a couple of weeks?" Millicas tells the Dragon God as her and Issei's eyes widen and jaw drop
"WHAT!" Issei shouts as Ophis teleports directly in front of the red haired teen, making him jump back in surprise a little
"Can you...actually manage that?" Ophis asks with a rather intimidating stare, making the teen sweat-drop a little
"Umm...Yes..." Millicas answers unsure on how to respond as Ophis walks back to her bucket of ice cream and opens a purple portal near a nearby wall
"Alright, lets go Issei and Luci." Ophis tells the two as Issei quickly takes Millicas to the corner for a second
"Millicas! Do you know what your doing?! Ryo may be tough but even he can't take Ophis' cooking!" Issei yells-whispers at the kid as Millicas shakes his head
"What did you want me to say?! She doesn't want to be near Great Red but I'm sure Ryo will do this one favor!" Millicas yells-whispers back as Issei facepalms
"I hope so..." Issei comments as Ophis tilts her head back at the two, making them quickly turn towards the God
"You two coming?" Ophis asks as they both nod at her
"Alright! To the Dimensional Gap!" Issei exclaims while pointing his finger at the portal making everyone, including a relatively silent Ddraig
With that being said, the now group of three walks through he portal and appears on top of a fading purple barrier in the middle of a nlue, black, purple, and green and orange space as they all begin to walk towards an enormous red dragon who is just flying around.
"Hey Baka-Red! Issei and Luci are here to visit!" Ophis shouts down at the fellow Dragon God, who only opens one of his eyes and looks down at the three
"Welcome Ophis, Issei and Lucifer to the Dimensional Gap. I take it your here because the little Satan here wanted to see how I trained Issei here, right?" Great Red says, making Millicas eyes widen in shock while Issei and Ophis looks rather unimpressed or knowing
"H-How did you know that?" Millicas asks as Issei looks down at his friend
"Red-sensei can see into your mind and search through your memories. Remember; he is the Dragon of Dreams so it shouldn't really be surprised he could do this." Issei states as Millicas his head
"Right, I forgot." Millicas says as Ophis creates a spoon and starts eating from her bucket of ice cream and closes her eyes
"Alright, ask the baka here whatever you have to so I don't look have to look at his ugly face any longer." Ophis says before materializing a bottle of whip cream and starts shooting it into her half empty bucket. Hearing what his fellow God said, Great Red chuckles in slight amusement.
"Haha! Come on Ophis, can't you for once to be happy to see your fellow Dragon God?!" Great Red asks with a smirk on his dragon face as Ophis glares at him
"The only two other people I also considered Dragon God's and that is Issei and Lilith, one of which I don't even see. Sure, we might have a better relationship but why should I care for the person who took my home and refused my silence." Ophis says, making Issei and Millicas look between the two, worried about a incoming fight that the smaller dragon may start. Deciding to prevent this and not have this space , possibly along with most of all the other realms, get destroyed he decides to speak up.
"Hey! Red-Sensei, can we please get to telling Millicas here how you trained me?!" Issei asks, making Great Red and Ophis stop antagonizing each other as one goes back to eating her ice cream and the bigger of the two look his old student and the Satan
"Right, so what I had done was simply put him into a small forest dimension I created and taught him to be a true dragon by having him train his senses, fire, and anything else dragon related. Ryo, Ddraig, and even Tannin helped out with the rest. I suggest that if you want to get stronger then instead of worrying about how strong you are currently then focus on how strong you will get in the future from your training, helped with Issei." Great Red states, making Issei rub his hand behind his head
"I still remember when you created hundreds of dragons made from rock and had them chase me around for a week until I killed them all." Issei says as Millicas's jaw drops
"Hundreds of rock dragons! By me; I've been having it easy training!" Millicas thinks to himself as Ophis finally finishes her ice cream
"You guys done?" Ophis asks, making Great Red nod his head
"We should be, unless you two wanted something else?" Great Red asks, making Issei shake his head
"No, that should be all. Thank you for the advice Red-sensei!" Issei replies with a slight bow
"No problem kid. While I understand that the kid is very different from you terms of strength but that doesn't matter, you, Ryo, and Maria all proved that when you trained with each other." Great Red tells the him as Ophis snaps her fingers, teleporting the three back to the house
"That was...something." Millicas says as Ophis goes back to her couch and starts eating again
"You better hold up on your promise, that wasn't pleasant." Ophis says, making Issei jump a little when he remembered the promise
"O-Ok!" Issei answers, making the Dragon God nod her head
"So, wanna go do more training? The day is still young." Millicas asks before issei gains a large grin
"Of course!" Issei answers before teleporting him and Millicas to a wasteland
Maria: Huh, I guess because he was out cold he couldn't write my fight. I guess it'll be next chapter.
Issei: Okay, since Drago is out I need to do the outro or whatever. Sorry for the TWO MONTH WAIT! HOLY SHIT! *Ahem* Well, he'll probably try to get at least 2 chapters of this book out next month so...just wait for that for anyone who's continued reading this.
Maria: See you all in the next chapter!
Issei and Maria: PEACE!
