Finally I can write about the fight between Issei and one of the strongest fallen angels. Oops Did I spoil you? Apparently in my story Dohnaseek is much stronger than a high-class devil. There are reasons for it. I can't show the full powers of Dohnaseek right now. But I wanted to give you a little idea about Dohnaseek. Ok then let's get into the story.

20. Secret and revelation
I took flight into the sky with the help of my balance breaker. Dohnaseek floated in the air with his four pairs of wings spread out, smiling at me. It was clear that he was a high-class fallen angel. As I soared higher, I looked back at Sona and the group. Tiamat stood behind them, watching me. Asia tried to heal Tsubaki, while Sona used her demonic powers to heal the others. I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Sona in this world. Because she is very weak. Questions swirled in my mind, but I knew I had to focus on the enemy in front of me.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" I announced as I stopped in front of Dohnaseek.
"Hmm, it seems you've gotten stronger," he observed, placing his hand on his cheek. "Alright then, let's finish this now." He began to prepare for battle, a golden light emanating from his hands. Suddenly, he vanished, his movements too fast for me to track. I felt a jolt as I saw Dohnaseek's hand coming from my left side. Instinctively, I raised my right hand to block his punch. His blow was powerful, sending me back several feet. I used the wings of my balance breaker form to steady myself and came to a stop in the sky. Dohnaseek's face was filled with confusion, likely surprised at my reaction. He looked down at his hands, then back up at me. Despite his punch, the armor surrounding my hand was only slightly bruised, and it quickly returned to normal.
"Wow, incredible… You managed to block one of my weakest punches," Dohnaseek said as he clenched his fist once more. "But don't get too cocky, Issei. Boost yourself, or the next punch will shatter your bones."
[Removing the 10-second limit…]
The Balance Breaker form can remove the 10-second limit and provide the user with the ability to boost for a few minutes without interruption. Although I haven't used this feature before, much of the Balance Breaker's functionality has already been encoded into my mind. I removed the 10-second limit and boosted myself ten times, hoping to enter Explosion Mode. But before that, I needed to gauge just how powerful Dohnaseek was.
[Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost]
I could feel the energy coursing through my body, and a light red glow radiated from my armor as it started to shine. I flew over to where Dohnaseek was and landed a punch on his abdomen, but he didn't even attempt to dodge it. Instead, he stood there and covered his abdomen with one of his wings, which absorbed most of the impact. But as I looked closer, I noticed a difference between his feathers and wings. I quickly backed away and descended little towards to the ground.
"Oi oi oi! What the hell are you doing?" Dohnaseek exclaimed, crossing his arms. "I didn't even feel that punch!" He began to laugh. "Hahaha, so this is the power of a Heavenly-class Dragon like Ddraig!"
(He's mocking us, partner!) I could hear Ddraig's voice, growing angrier by the second.
'Calm down, Ddraig. Can't you see that we can't beat him?' I said through our telepathic link.
(Huh, what do you mean, partner?)
[Boost]
I don't want to waste the time between us talking. So I slowly restarted the Limiter of Boosted Gear. Now I am automatically boosted for every 10 seconds.
'He has some kind of magic cover wrapped around his body' I told him.
(But I can't sense anything) Because you don't know about dark magic.
[Boost]
"He's got good protection for himself! Ddraig, focus on the regenerative abilities of the armour. I'll take care of the fighting," I instructed.
(On it!) Ddraig responded. I started to think of a way to defeat Dohnaseek.
"Alright, let me think," I said to myself, as Dohnaseek smiled happily, seemingly confident in his victory.
Meanwhile Sona and Others…
Tsubaki's wound slowly began to heal due to Asia's use of her Sacred Gear. It was the longest time Asia had used her Twilight Healing. "Are you okay?" Sona asked her, concerned. "No problem, Sona-senpai, in a little while..." Asia replied, turning back her focus on healing.
"Are you kidding me? He didn't even react to Issei's punch," Tsubasa exclaimed, watching as Issei and Dohnaseek fought. They both looked worse for wear and were clearly struggling. "I-Issei will win, right? Won't he be in trouble, Kaichou?" Momo turned to Sona. "I don't know," Sona whispered back.
Tiamat saw the worry on their faces and walked towards them. "Don't worry, he will definitely come back..." She smiled reassuringly. "Miss Tiamat," Momo looked at her face. Tiamat went over to the other members of the peerage and looked up at the sky. "Sona, are you scared?"
"Huh, I-I was..."
"Have faith in your pawn. Master will definitely win today." Tiamat knew Issei's potential and believed in him. "It's coming...!" Tiamat's eyes filled with excitement. Suddenly, Issei flew quickly in the direction where Dohnaseek was. He clenched his hand and hit him hard in the face. Dohnaseek tried to protect his face with his wing, but Issei's punch went through it and connected with his face, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.
Tiamat' cave
"Are you saying that a fallen angel suddenly came to the two of you and threatened to tell Issei the message that Sona was going to die?" Kalawarna asked that long question.
"Yes, yes, yes. How many times have we both told that story now?"
After Issei left, they both told Tiamat exactly what happened, but Kalawarna wasn't there at the time. Later, after Tiamat teleported out of the cave, Kalawarna, who knew nothing, came there and started questioning Raynare and Mittelt.
"Very strange…" Kalawarna knew a lot about Dohnaseek because she worked closely with him and she knew certain things related to him.
"You know something about this, don't you, Kalawarna, are you hiding something from us?" Kalawarna remained silent without saying anything. "Say, we're friends, aren't we? Friends never hide things," Mittelt said with a smile as she came over and put her hand on her shoulder. Raynare smiled a little and crossed her arms under her chest and looked at her.
"You guys..!" Then Kalawarna started telling the two all the things she knew.
"Are you telling the truth?" Raynare nervously grabbed Kalawarna's shoulder and shook him. "But why is he targeting Issei?" Mittelt asked. "I don't know! But he did," they all started to get worried. The three of them just wanted to see Issei happy again.
(Scene Change…)
Issei used his boot jets to speed up. He suddenly came down and started to fly towards where Dohnaseek fell.
"Huh!" Dohnaseek was really surprised because of the sudden hit that he received from Issei. That time he used his dark magic to cover his body. Technically his wings were covered with dark magic, and it was the perfect defensive method, Because of that magic layer no one was able to damage him. Since the day he became a fallen angel, he has used this trick to defeat his opponents. But Issei also had some trump cards to fight.
Suddenly, Issei came and started attacking him. But Dohnaseek was not doing anything like before. He blocked Issei's blows one by one. Issei's speed increased more and more. He continued to attack using his fist and kicks. "You got better, didn't you?" Dohnaseek unfolded his wings and his feathers started to get spiked in shape.
"Take this!" With that warning from Dohnaseek, the feathers fell from his wings and began to spread rapidly. Those blows were so fast that some of the trees in the forest were torn apart by his feathers.
"Yes, I had to be strong to survive this kind of situation" Issei suddenly jumped backwards. After that he began to dodge dohnaseek's feathers that came from his wings.
[Explosion!] sound heard from Issei's Boosted Gear. Alarmed, Issei shifted his focus from the battle to the group behind him, particularly Sona. "Look out!" one of the girls shouted, prompting Issei to pivot his head towards the direction of the commotion. To his relief, he witnessed Tiamat's enormous dragon form shielding Sona and the others from harm.
Feeling emboldened, Issei exhaled a long sigh and addressed Ddraig, "Ddraig! Let's Attack again!" With renewed vigor, Issei charged towards Dohnaseek. "Why won't you just die already?" fallen angel sneered. Dohnaseek retaliated with a full-fledged feather attack aimed at Issei. However, it was futile. Although Issei sustained minor damage to his scale mail from the fight, Ddraig restored it to its original state in a fraction of a second. In contrast, Dohnaseek realized that he couldn't hold Issei's advance with his attack.
The fallen angel created a sword from his light magic, and just as quickly, summoned a sword made from dark magic in his other hand. He paused his feather attack and leaped onto Issei, holding his two swords high. However, Issei dodged the attack and countered by hitting Dohnaseek's chest with a right fist. Dohnaseek blocked the attack with one of his swords, and both fighters resumed their attack on each other.
The peerage, including Sona, watched as the two fighters clashed. The fallen angel expertly blocked all of Issei's blows, while Issei relying on his powerful Longinus to try and defeat his opponent. Tiamat, in her dragon form, kept the others safe and watched the battle with excitement. "Master, it's beautiful," she said, drawing the attention of the others to her large head. "What? He fights well," she repeated, using her wings to shield and protect the group. As a Dragon king, she was larger than normal dragons and could cover and protect multiple people at once.
The fight had intensified and both Issei and the fallen angel Dohnaseek were exchanging blows at lightning-fast speeds. Despite their incredible speed, Tiamat had no trouble keeping up. The fight was taking place a safe distance away from the group, including Sona. And outsiders can't hear or see due to the fallen angel's magic barrier. This allowed both fighters to give their all in the battle.
Dohnaseek blocked all of Issei's punches with his light sword and dark sword. Every time Issei's fists hit the swords, sparks flew. Suddenly, Ddraig's voice came out of Issei's armor, signaling the use of his [Boost] ability. The fight continued for a few more minutes, with both fighters showing their equal strength. However, the stalemate did not last long. The fallen angel suddenly attacked Issei on his left side, hitting him with his light sword and pushing him back with one blow, and he used that chance to fly up into the sky.
"Tch!" Issei clicked his tongue in frustration. Without hesitation, he spread his wings and took off after Dohnaseek. Sona started humming worriedly and Tsubaki, who had regained consciousness, was still recovering from her injuries. Asia's sacred gear emitted a bright green light, which increased in intensity. However, Asia was becoming exhausted from the effort.
Tiamat transformed back into her human form and came to Asia's side. She was naked, but paid no attention to it as she sat down next to Asia. "Asia, remember your training. You worked harder than this," Tiamat said to her. "Miss Tiamat!" Asia replied softly. "Yes, I will work harder," she smiled at her. Asia resumed healing Tsubaki, but the dark magic made it difficult to heal her properly.
"Dragon Shot!" I shouted, as Dohnaseek flew up into the sky and stared at me once again. I immediately activated my hand cannon and unleashed the dragon shot at him. Normally, the dragon shot was powerful enough to knock out any medium class devil in a single attack. But since I had mastered the complete balance breaker, its power had increased significantly.
At the same time, Dohnaseek attempted to avoid my dragon shot by using his wings once again. The red beam clashed with his wings, resulting in a massive explosion.
"Told you, you can't break my defense," my opponent laughed again. He then sent his two swords flying towards me as I was in mid-air. I successfully dodged the swords and approached him, unleashing two dragon shots at him. The attack resulted in another explosion in front of his face.
"Damn this guy never l-" he began to say, but before he could finish, I landed a punch in his belly area.
"How-" he started coughing up blood. Before the fear-mixed surprise on his face disappeared, I said, "Rage Fist!" I then delivered another punch to his face and grabbed one of his wings, attempting to break it apart. I had already done that to Raynare.
"Let it go!!!" Dohnaseek started to leak some kind of magic power, and Ddraig warned me to get out of there quickly.
"I know, thanks for the tip," I replied, getting into a fighting position.
"You got me, Issei Hyoudou," Dohnaseek conceded, gathering a ball of light magic in his palm to cover his stomach.
"Huh? What?" he said, his confusion evident.
"Rage Fist is another technique that I've developed. It can nullify some magic and slow down the healing process," I explained.
"So what!? It's just a small wound," my opponent replied in a relaxed manner.
"Well, it does have some side effects," I warned.
"Shut up and fight me," he snapped, deploying all his wings and coming at me with an attack.
"Ddraig, do it!" I commanded.
(OK!) Ddraig responded.
[Explosion mode!]
[Maximum Output : 65%]
"Take this," I said, thrusting my hand forward.
"Ggraaaahhh!" Dohnaseek charged towards me at high speed. However, before he could attack, one of my punches sent him flying backwards.
"Damn you! I'm still not strong enough to beat you," Dohnaseek muttered in frustration.
"It's not because I'm the main character of this story, right?" I retorted with a smirk.
"Huh," Dohnaseek grunted, surprised by my comment.
"Okay then, let's talk. You're not from this world, are you?"
Dohnaseek burst into laughter. "Looks like I got caught,"
And Finish…
I think some of you guys already expected this right? I have a little plot twist to tell. But we have to wait until the next chapter is published. I am currently writing that one. If you ask me why it took so long, I was a little busy with my studies. I apologize for that. See you soon in a new chapter. Oh! I forgot to tell you. I already prepared a new balance breaker for Asia. More information about it can be found in the next chapter.
Sorry, today's chapter is short. I thought it would be better to write a new chapter about Dohnaseek and his arrival to the DxD world. Technically he was also replaced with a fallen body. Then Bye for now!
(Oh I forgot one more thing. I also want to write about a date between Issei and another peerage member. Probably the next chapter will be chapter No 20.1, Sorry about that)
