I don't own either Fate/Stay night or Highschool DxD
Chapter 16: The Game
Before you read let me remind you that this is just the retell from the Rating Game with Raiser
Shirou POV
Finally it's here this the day of the game
I am invited by Sona-kaihou to watch the game with her peerage
The game is done with alternate dimension modelled after Kuoh academy
When I look at this I thought this is similar to my Unlimited Blade Works, but it turns out to be more similar with a big scale Projection where they just materialise their mana, and given it a form.
"Are there anybody else that going to watch this game?"
I ask to Sona-kaichou
"Yes! Other than us there will be Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex. The last one will Maou Sirzexh Lucifer the strongest out of the 4 Maou, and also Rias older brother. They will be in different from us"
"The others party will be wtching the game on different from us
The Strongest of the 4 Maou, huh
Well guess this mean this crazy demonic energy I sense come from that person
To think there is someone this strong in this world, he probably 10, no 20 times stronger than Serafall.
Although he can't beat Zelretch he probably will be a good match against Miss Blue, which I prefer to avoid.
"Shirou, who do you think will win this match? You are the one that train Rias peerage after all."
Tsubaki-senpai ask me suddenly
"Well, if I had to be honest. The overall fire power of Rias peerage is definitely higher, but they lack experience. This make it hard to tell, after all although Raiser an idiot, his peerage another story."
"What do you mean by that Shirou?"
Saji ask
"Well, when Kiba and Koneko show me the video of Raiser game, I noticed that he isn't the one controlling that peerage. Instead it is undoubtedly Ravel Phenex, during the game she manage to lead the member to defeat opponent stronger than them. She undoubtedly talented even more than Raiser, both as a commander and fighter. Although now she is weaker than Raiser, in the future she will be a threat that surpassed her brother."
"But, it doesn't look like they make any plan at all during their game. Or at least I don't think so."
Sona said
"The only reason it look like that is because Raiser often to ignore his peerage, and go charging recklessly. That guy is a true idiot, if he lose Ravel than his peerage will not be able to win all those game he won."
"I see! That make sense."
Sona responded to my claim
"If Rias want to win this she either needs to have wit showdown with Ravel, or charge straight at Raiser."
I add
"That will not be easy Raiser immortal after all."
Momo said
"Buhaha….! Immortal you say, from what I see it just high regeneration nothing more."
"That still doesn't make it any better, he will definitely to be defeated by overwhelming power in order to be defeated."
"Sona-kaichou, what are you saying? Because you're smart I thought you notice it by now, but there are many method to defeat something like that."
"""!?"""
Souna and her peerage member look at me with shock
"Explain…"
I then explain all seven method I told Issei and the others
"T-T-That's amazing!"
"Where did you get an idea like this?"
"To think there is this kind of method."
Sona peerage keep praising my idea
"Nah, it's nothing really! From what I see all of the young Devil think to highly of Phenex family."
"On the other hand all of the Devil live during the Great War must have noticed this as well."
"Other than those 7 there are still many method I told to defeat Raiser, there are many other way."
"Acupuncture the hold his blood flow, using poison that slow down his cell regeneration, a weapon or technique that damage the brain, etc."
"I see, with this Rias should be able to defeat Raiser."
Sona-kaichou said
"Well, if things going smoothly that is."
After that the game started
Issei POV
Just now Buchou had just released some of the restraint my evil pieces have, and make me more powerful
It seems although I am worth 8 [Pawns] my body can't use all of the evil pieces properly, so it had been sealed all this time
After the game started I immediately activate my sacred gear,
Me and Koneko-chan were told to take control in the gymnasium, because the two base connected here
Akeno-san is supporting us from the sky
Kiba was told to defeat enemy in the forest
However all of us told about one thing
First we have to take down Raiser's [Pawns].
It will be troublesome if they all promote into [Queen].
On the other hand I must reach to the enemy territory to promote myself
Asia is together with Buchou in the base
For some sot reason Buchou other [Bishop] seems can't make it today
However, I don't think we will lose
It's because I've made an unbelievable technique, this will be the birth of historical technique
GUHEHEHE
While I thinking that we had arrived in the gymnasium we finally see the enemy
There is 1 [Rook] and 3 [Pawns]
"Welcome servant of the Gremory, have you prepared to lose today."
They greet us
"..Issei-senpai I take care of the [Rook], you better defeat those [Pawns]"
"Got it!"
I answer Konneko with a firm voice
I prepared myself to have a clash with them, but then….
…..
EH?
Why are they moving so slowly this is ridiculous, although I am isn't exactly faster than them their movement has so much waste
It is so inefficient, and make it easy to read
I dodge them so easily
"D-D-Damn! Why can we hit him?"
E-Even if you ask me
I then look at Koneko direction
S-S-She catch the [Rook] fist just like that
W-What's going on here?
The [Rook] from Raiser team have a shocked look now
But Koneko-chan look even more shocked herself
"…Um, can you go a bit more serious?"
Koneko-chan ask the enemy [Rook] in polite manner
The opponent face, then change to that of fury
The enemy then deliver many more punch
But Koneko deflect all of it like it was nothing
Koneko-chan then prepared her fist and deliver a punch
- CRAAAAASH!
Hey! Hey!
Are you serious?
The enemy got thrown to the wall, and make a crack at the wall
The 3 [Pawns] that is my enemy also shocked by this
Now, my chance
"[Dress Break]"
I call the name of my new technique
Then their cloth got ripped apart
They're fully naked now
"""KYAAAAAAA!"""
The girls then try to cover their body
"MUHAHAHAH! Did you see this is the technique I have train the ast 5 days [Dress Break].."
Suddenly I receive karate chop from Koneko-chan
"…You're the worst."
"UHHH! That hurt Koneko-chan!"
"A-Anyway we better leave now."
Koneko then nod
After we get out
Akeno-san bombard the Gymnasium with hear thunder magic
[Raiser Phoenix-sama's three [Pawns] and one [Rook] retires!]
Grayfia-san's voice who is the arbiter echoes through the battlefield.
"Ne, Koneko do you feel that he opponent is way too weak."
"You also think so to Senpai?"
It seems Koneko thinking the same thing I did
C-Could it be because we keep following that monster called Shirou
We now can follow almost all kind of enemy movement now
Shirou POV
It seems that the training had shown the result
"A-Amazing Koneko-chan so strong."
"To think even that Hyoudou able to dodge those [Pawns] so easily."
Sona peerage look at the situation full of surprise
"Shirou, what did you do to those kids?"
Sona ask
"Well, nothing special really. All I did is that increasing their basic training to the absolute limit, and make them fight me to gain all kind of experience. Well, I hold back of course."
"Is that all?"
Sona ask again for confirmation
"Well, I probably give them some task like giving Kiba task to catch a boar barehanded. Making Koneko run a few Kilometre while bombarded by my arrow from all kind of direction. Or making Issei climb a cliff within the time limit, and if he fails to reach the top on time I will make him redo it."
…..
Sona peerage went silence
"T-That's sure is hardcore play!"
Is all Reya said
Koneko POV
Me and Issei-senpai just finished defeating our enemy, and now planning to join with Yuuto-senpai
-CHILLS
Suddenly I felt chill, I thenn dodged to the right
It seems that Issei-senpai also noticed this because he do the same as me
-BOOOM!
Suddenly there is an explosion
"Ho! You manage to dodge that."
It is Riser [Queen]
"Sorry, but if you want to defeat us with surprise attack can you at least mask your killing intent."
Issei-senpai said
I also nod at that
"Ara-Ara, it seems somebody have appeared to play with me."
Akeno-senpai said that while making a wicked smile
"Priestess of Thunder! I always want to fight you."
"Ara, is that so! Well. Then let's make this a one on one battle."
Akeno-san look at us
Then both me and Issei-senpai nod
Our objective now is to re-join Yuuto-senpai
[Raiser Phoenix-sama's three [Pawns] retires!]
We hear the announcement from Grayfia-san
Not long after that we see Yuuto-senpai
It seems he beat his enemy quite easily, and choose to re-join us by himself
Kiba POV
I'm surprised at my growth
When I ambush the 3 [Pawns] that get caught in the illusion barrier
I beat them almost immediately
It's not they're weak, I'm just overwhelming them
After that I re-join with Issei and Koneko
We then go straight to the enemy territory Issei then promote himself to [Queen]
But, strangely no one there
Damn!
"Issei it seems they had abandon this base, and had gone straight to our king we need to return quickly."
"Yeah!"
We run as fast as we can straight to our base
We then see all of Riser peerae other than the [Queen] and Raiser himself
Thankfully the [Pawns] have not promote themself
BOOOM!
An explosion come from one of the building
Then Raiser shadow appeared, it seems he currently fighting Buchou
We then start engaging the enemy planning to break through
Koneko fighting the 2 [Pawns] and one [Bishop]
I engaging the 2 [Knight] and 1 [Pawns]]
Issei engaging the [Rook] and 1 [Pawns]
Ravel choose not to fight
[Rias Gremory-sama's [Queen] retires.]
"—!?'
"What!?"
I can't believe my ear, Akeno-senpai lose
Not only did Raiser currently engaging our [King], we also lost our [Queen]
We then see Yubeluna, but we don't see any wound on her
"Y-You! How can you be fine after engaging Akenno-san"
Issei-kun ask
Me and Koneko also questioning the same thing my head
"—Oh! This all thanks to this!"
It was the voice of Ravel Phenex, she's pointing her finger at some bottle
Could that be?!
"This is called [Phenex Tear's], our family reproduce this through some ritual. However we can only bring 2 of this in on game."
I knew it
Damn!
Although me, Issei, and Koneko is doing better than we thought
If the [Queen] attack us as well it's over for us
I guess we need to play dirty here
"ISSEI! USE THAT TECHNIQUUE NOW!"
Yeah, I mean that one
"MUHAHAHAHA! Kiba you finally understand the beauty of my technique! Ok, here it comes [Dress Break!]."
""KYAAAAAA!""
He then rip the cloth of the two girls he fought, and the girls scream
I then shout once again
"Issei use [Dragon Shoot], now!"
"Okay! I've memorise their curve, now here it comes [Dragon Shoot]."
The energy blast was shot
""""KYAAAAA!""""
[Raiser Phoenix-sama's two [Pawns], one [Rook] retires, and one [Bishop]!]
By luck the other member of Raiser peerage also taken out
I don't care anymore, Issei-kun is just way too ridiculous
"… You're the worst."
"That's sure is a one kill shot for girls."
"I-I'm sorry about that."
I bow my head lightly at the enemy
"Hey! Kiba don't say sorry, now!"
"Issei-kun that's not really matter! You can now go to support Buchou now, hurry up go to her support."
"Oh, yeah! You're right, I will go now!"
"You think we let you pass through."
One of Raiser knight try to stop Issei
Using my [Sword Birth] I make prison made of sword to seal her movement
"-Tch!"
Issei then manage to pass through
"Do you think just because that guy get through he can do anything now?"
Ravel ask
I then smirk
"I wonder about that."
"….Issei-senpai is a pervert but from time to time he will do something unexpected."
…
Ravel started to have a worry expression
Issei you better win this
Issei POV
I run straight to our Buchou location then I see her cloth is tattered and Asia is healing her
I can see Raiser stand while smirking at them
"BUCHOU! YOU BASTARD!"
I will use that now I don't care what happened
"Ddraig do it!"
[Roger that!]
My body is now equipped with a red armour. A plate-armour that has the motif of a Dragon.
"An armour!? You made the power of Sekiryuutei shape into a physical form!?"
Raiser is shocked. His comment is acute.
"This is the power of the Emperor of Dragons! The Balance Breaker, [Boosted Gear Scale-mail]! —If you want to stop me, go and ask Maou-sama! After all, it seems like this is the "The Hated Forbidden Technique"!"
The scale-mail's ability is to releases a destructive power for 10 seconds.
Once released, I will be invincible for 10 seconds.
However, there is a big risk. 10 seconds after unleashing this ability, I won't be able to use my Sacred Gear for three days.
Shirou POV
I see it has come this!
"W-What is that?"
Sona asked while looking at me, she probably think I know something
Well, she's right
During our training Ddraig make an offer to Issei to give him a boost in strength in exchange of part of Issei body turned into dragon. I ask Issei not to use it, but it seems Issei had planned to use this from the beginning
"It's an imperfect version of Issei [Balance Breaker], this will allow him to have unbelievable amount of strength for 10 seconds. He achieved this by sacrificing a certain part of his body. This is how much determined Issei in saving Rias."
!
All of Sona peerage surprised when I said Issei sacrificed a part of his body
Issei POV
[X]
I will end this right away, Raiser Phoenix!
I lift a little gap between my hands while bringing them close, and then created a mass of demonic-power between my hands.
I shoot it towards Raiser right away.
The demonic-power created from the palm of my hand got enormous and went towards Raiser!
"It's enormous!'
Raiser then chooses to evade it instead of taking it.
—This is the chance!
[IX]
I jump towards the place where Raiser will possibly run to.
The propeller located on the back of the armour releases a demonic-power. That instant, it releases an explosive speed!
I will attack here! Well that's what I like to say, but without doing anything I—.
CRAAAAASH!
I crashed into the wall. Such a disappointment! That was a chance!
Wow amazing! Both my body and the armour aren't damaged, despite crashing into the wall in that insane speed! With this hard armour, doesn't it guarantee that my opponent will receive a critical damage if I simply crash into them with an insane speed?
[VIII]
I got up and shook off the fragments of the wall and confronted Raiser again.
Raiser becomes more vigilant than before after seeing my attacks.
"Shitty Sekiryuutei brat! Sorry but I won't hold back! I don't want to admit it, but right now you are a monster! In front of your master, Rias, peeeeeerish!"
A giant pair of wings of fire appears on Raiser's back who was howling. There's a whirlwind of fire surrounding him and the hall is surrounded by an intense fire.
"Fire bird and Fenghuang! The hell fire of our clan that was praised as being that of a Phoenix! Taste it with your own body and turn into ashes!"
"There's no way that I will perish from a crappy fire like yours!"
I run towards him while shouting! The propeller on my back releases fires made up of demonic-power!
HIT!
When both of our fists hit each other's face, it shakes the whole hall because of the impact created from our powers clashing. At the centre of the hall, Raiser and I started exchanging punches.
But in the end I'm the one getting pushed by his punch
"Are you scared!? Are you afraid of me!? Of course! You are merely a trash if you didn't have a Boosted Gear!"
He's saying whatever he feels like! But he's right! If you take this gauntlet away from me, then I will be nothing!
[VII]
I pull out a certain thing that I was hiding in a section of my gauntlet. Then I deliver my fist to Raiser
BANG!
My fist hit right into Raiser's face with a cross-counter. Raiser bends back.
"That won't work on—"
Cough!
There are a lot of blood coming out from Raiser's mouth. My hit was critical against Raiser.
I open my hand, and show what I'm holding onto to Raiser!
"A cross!? You have a cross!?"
It's the thing I borrowed from Asia. I got it from her on my way here which I hid it away.
[VI]
"I punched you while increasing the effect of the cross with my Sacred Gear. A holy attack that has increased drastically can even be used against High-class Devils. Even if you are the immortal bird Phoenix, you won't be able to heal this attack that easily, right?"
"Absurd! Crosses bring intense suffering to Devils! Even if you wear a Dragon's armour, touching it is absolutely foolish—."
He then look at my arm
"…D-Did you give your left arm to the Dragon residing in the gauntlet…?"
"Yeah, that's right. I gave my left arm in order to use this power. My left arm is the arm of an actual Dragon. That's why a cross doesn't work on me."
!
Raiser surprised hearing this
"If you do that, then your left arm won't return to normal! Do you know that!?"
"What about it?"
[V]
"Buchou will come back just with one arm of someone like me. It's a pretty cheap deal, don't you think?"
Raiser's eyes changes after hearing what I just said.
"You are crazy… So that's why you can hit punches without any hesitation. I have become scared of you for real, for the first time. And for that!"
"I'm going to beat you with everything I have!"
He rushes towards me while the surroundings are engulfed by fire.
[IV]
"Uoooooooooooooooo!"
I put all my power to the cross I'm holding on to! One hit! I will put everything I have into this cross! Raiser's fist! And my fist! They crash against each other!
But suddenly my armour disappear
And I fall
D-Ddraig what happened?
[Sorry, but your body can't take the sudden increase in power! The [Boosted Gear] still active, but the armour is impossible to recreate.]
D-Dammit!
Raiser then start laughing
After that he grip my neck, and lift me up
"AHAHAHA! This is what happened if trash challenged me!"
DAMMIT!
Why am I so weak?
Then I remember it about one more thing I bring with me
"To extinguish fire you need water, right!?"
The thing I'm holding on to is a small bottle that contains holy water.
Raiser look surprised when he see this
"Dammit!"
He then try to release me from his grip and push me away, but it was too late
"Boosted Gear Gift!"
[Transfer!]
I [Boost!] the holy energy on the water and poured it on Raiser
"AAAHHHHHHH!"
Raiser scream
I then clench my fist, and deliver my punch
-BANG!
"Gahaa!"
"N-No way, I lost like this."
Suddenly a girl appear between the two of us it is Ravel Phenex
She glares at me silently and seems like she wants to complain to me.
I point my Dragon arm towards her and then say
"If you have a complaint, then come to me. I will take you on any time!"
Raiser's sister backs down because of my intensity and makes a path for me.
But for some sort of reason I also see her cheek being red
I went past Raiser's sister and stand in front of Buchou. I say it to her while smiling.
"Buchou, let's go home."
"…Ise."
Buchou then started to cry
Yeah!
We win!
Suddenly Buchou jump and...
SHE KISS ME!
After that I pass out
Shirou POV
"…H-He did it!"
Sona said this while wiping her tear
"Y-Yeah I am so moved!"
"UUUUWOOOOOOHHH! Hyoudou, you're a man among man!"
"Mou-! Saji you're crying too much."
"But, I agree with him. Today Issei-kun is definitely the MVP!"
All of Sona peerage keep praising Issei after seeing that battle
Well, can't blame them I'm also moved.
Issei once again you have surpassed your limit
Like this all of us return to the school
After that we all have celebration party for Rias peerage first victory
