Hi Guys. Sorry, I got stuck with my study work. somehow I got a little time to open the app. Because once I open the fanfiction app, I don't stop reading fanfic stories for at least 2 hours. I think my writing ability has also improved. However, today I saw that the number of followers in the story has increased to 300. Thanks everyone. Maybe if I had fully prepared and learned grammar and other tips and written the story, this amount could have increased, thanks everyone.

19. Rise of the Fallen

The time was 7:50 PM, and I was filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement as I left home with the intention of visiting Tiamat. My mission was to warn the people there, including Raynare, about Rias's mission.

"Asia, I have to go to the Familiar Forest right now. Can you tell Mom that I went somewhere else?" I asked her just before leaving.

"Got it," she replied, always obedient to me.

As I reached the back of the house, I fumbled with the teleportation ring, trying to steady my shaking hands. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, visualizing the Familiar Forest. The next thing I knew, I was enveloped in a bright light and felt weightless, as though I was floating. It was a strange sensation, but it only lasted a split second before I was suddenly transported to the Familiar Forest.

I arrived at the familiar crossroads and quickly made my way towards Tiamat's lair. In just a matter of two or three minutes, the entrance to the cave came into view. I stepped into Tiamat's cave and was taken aback by the sight of her, transformed into a dragon and lying on the side of the cave.

"Hi," I said, approaching her.

"I-Issei, hello. What brings you here?" she asked, her voice hesitant. If she had been in her human form, I was sure I would have seen her cheeks flush with embarrassment.

"I came to warn Raynare," I explained, leaning against her front leg.

Tiamat shook her dragon head from side to side. "I don't understand what you are talking about," she said, looking at me with confusion.

"Rias Gremory, that high-class devil and her peerage searching for fallen angels," I explained. "If Raynare gets caught by Rias, I might get caught too."

Tiamat lowered her head, considering my words. "Even if they find out the truth about me, I won't have too much of a problem, but I'll probably receive some severe punishments from my king." I said and her eyes widened.

"Don't worry, Tiamat. If anything happens to me, I'm sure my beautiful baby dragon will be there for me," I replied jokingly. Tiamat's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't say anything else.

"Isn't Kalawarna here?" I asked, looking around for her.

"No, she went out for a bit. I think she's in some kind of trouble," Tiamat told me.

"You didn't ask her about it?"

"No, I don't want to intrude on her personal problems," she replied. I can't think of a reason, but Tiamat's voice seems to be getting a bit harsh.

Suddenly, Ddraig's voice echoed in my head,

(I think it's maybe she got angry because of what you said earlier) Oh crap, I just said that without thinking. Dragons are very prideful creatures.

"Ahm, Tiamat!" I tried to redirect her attention to me.

"Yes," she turned her dragon head in my direction. "I apologize for calling you the baby dragon. I wasn't thinking about it properly," I bowed my head in apology. Her eyes widened. "No, no. It's not like that," she tried to get up, looking nervous. As her tail hit the walls of the cave, some of the soil above started to fall to the ground. "Please calm down," I told her.

She relaxed slightly and reclined again. "I'm sorry, Issei, I'm just a bit surprised that you apologized so suddenly," she turned her head away.

"It's okay, Tiamat. I didn't mean to offend you. Let's just move on from this." I tried to reassure her. She relaxed a bit, but still seemed nervous. "Anyway, have you heard anything about Raynare's whereabouts?" I asked, changing the subject.

"I'm not sure, the last she mentioned was heading to Kuoh," she shrugged. With nothing else to talk about, I remained silent. It seemed that Tiamat was still upset with me. "Tiamat, I apologized. Please don't be upset," I tried to reconcile with her. Tiamat is one of the strongest beings I have encountered in this world. As a dragon king and my familiar, even Ddraig is also scared by her. Despite her being my servant, it wouldn't be wise to make her angry.

She looked away, but I wouldn't let her go so easily. "Then I have to do this," I thought to myself as I jumped onto her massive neck and grabbed onto her skin. It wasn't an easy feat, as her entire body was covered in thick scales, but the bottom of her neck was exposed, and it was one of her weaknesses in her dragon form. It's like now I'm riding a horse.

"Hey, let go of me!" she protested, shaking her neck in an attempt to shake me off. However, if she had used her full power, she could have easily thrown me out of the cave. But I wasn't afraid. I'm sure she doesn't do that kind of thing to me. I had not used my Gear this time, and I clung to her neck, started to tickle her relentlessly.

"Issei, please stop!" she pleaded, laughing uncontrollably. To be honest, her laughter made me a little uneasy, but I wasn't about to back down. "Don't think that you can get rid of me so easily," I continued tickling her neck area. "Oh, please let go! Hahaha!" she started running away from me deeper into the cave.

As she ran, I noticed that her laughter started to change. It became more and more intense, almost like it was coming from the depths of her soul. And then, something unexpected happened.

She suddenly transformed into a human, and we both tumbled to the ground. I ended up on top of her, but quickly pushed myself up, avoiding any direct contact with her skin. I gazed down at her, noticing her cheeks and face were flushed bright red.

'I-Issei,' she stammered, calling my name. I was at a loss for what to do in this unusual situation. My mind raced with a multitude of thoughts, including how stunning her body was. I had seen her naked before, but now I could see her form more clearly. Her white skin, ample breasts, and light brown hair were all more beautiful than I had remembered.

"Tiamat, I-I" I tried to apologize. but before that she pulled me aside.

"You can't," she continued. Anyway, I understood a little of what she said.

"Huh..Wait, Don't get a wrong Idea" I tried to clear the misunderstanding.

"But you tried to…" She tried to cover her naked body with her hands. I couldn't imagine it because she hadn't behaved like this before. At that time I had the opportunity to see an unseen side of Tiamat.

I sat where Tiamat pushed me and crossed my arms. "Tiamat, did something happen to make you change?" I asked her.

"What do you mean?" She turned her eyes to me.

"No, no," I replied, scratching my cheek nervously. "You haven't acted like this before." I looked at her, trying to gauge her reaction. She was standing still, her arms covered her chest, I wondered what could have caused this sudden change in her behavior.

She looked at me and offered a small smile. "No, it's not you. Raynare told me to act this way in my human form, as a female, I need to protect myself from men. I apologize if I made you feel like I was distant." She dropped her hand from her chest and gazed at me with concern in her eyes. I can see her chest clearly now.

"Hmm, So It's Raynare, there's nothing wrong with that, Tiamat. You're very beautiful and I'm sure you'll attract the attention of many men in the future. So it's good that you act like that." I looked at her and smiled awkwardly.

"Just as I thought... you're angry with me, aren't you?"

She suddenly knelt down and started approaching me. "Well, then touch my body and you'll lose your anger towards me." I could see her breasts swing from side to side, providing a good view. At that moment, my face turned red and I felt smoke starting to come out of my ears. I had never been in a relationship with any girl in my previous life, and now I had to face this kind of situation all at once. It's like I was the one who is getting teased by her.

"Stop, stop, I didn't say anything with that kind of intention," I closed my eyes with one hand and started to back away. But Tiamat didn't stand still. She came closer to me and stopped. "Tiamat, I appreciate the offer, but I think it's best if we don't do this kind of stuff."

"May I ask why?" Her voice started to get seductive. I put my hand on my cheek.

"It's because we didn't married to each other"

"Married? Is it important? I have heard that devils marry each other" Tiamat said.

"Yes. Humans are the same as devils. In our world, many people marry before becoming mates. The reason is to symbolize the love between each other" I tried to give a explanation about the marriage.

She moved away from me and crossed her arms. "Hmm, now I understand a bit. Well, dragons don't do that kind of nonsense. If a female feels that a male is stronger than her, she tries to make the male dragon her partner."

"I see, It's hard to be a dragon isn't it?

She smiled "I know"

We talked for a few minutes about various topics, and I could see how much she had changed lately. Perhaps the group, including Raynare, had given her different advice about people. But just then, something unexpected happened. Raynare and Mittelt suddenly appeared, teleporting out of the cave. Their faces were filled with fear and sadness.

"I-Issei…" Raynare struggled to say my name. "What happened?" I asked, concerned. Tiamat, who was still naked, also approached them, looking just as worried.

"Issei, help them!" Mittelt's voice was urgent. "Help! To whom? What are you talking about?' I asked, still confused.

"Sona and the others are fighting a fallen angel," Raynare answered, her voice trembling. 'But one of them is injured...' She trailed off.

I felt a chill run down my spine. "Where are they?" I asked, grabbing Raynare's shoulder.

"At the church that we hold Asia, the one that blew up," Mittelt replied.

I was filled with worry and uncertainty. 'Will I make it in time? I can only go to my house with my ring. Will they still be alive by the time I arrive at the church?' Without another thought, I used my teleportation ring and teleported back to my home.

One hour ago, with Sona

Sona and her peerage cautiously approached the remains of the church, taking care to stay hidden from view. They had teleported into the forest behind the church, knowing that entering from the main road would attract too much attention and put innocent lives at risk.

As they stepped into the wreckage, Momo couldn't help but gasp at the extent of the damage. "Is this all from the fire?" she asked, turning to Sona for an explanation.

"According to reports, yes," Sona replied, her arms crossed in front of her chest. "The light magic used here is very powerful, and it's likely the work of a middle-class fallen angel."

Tsubaki, who was walking just behind Sona, nodded in agreement. Sona led her peerage through the destruction, surveying the scene for any sign of the fallen angel or their accomplices. She was determined to put an end to their threat

"Look, it's completely flattened here," Tsubasa said, examining the location where the church once stood. "Quiet, everyone," Sona whispered, trying to hush the others. All eyes then turned to where Sona had extended her hand. A few meters away, they spotted a man dressed in black, checking the ground. "Another failed plan, it seems," he mumbled, picking up a piece of iron from the ground and examining it closely. "A fallen angel," Reya declared. "Everyone, prepare for battle," Tsubaki called out as she stepped in front of Sona, as if to protect her. Sona stepped forward, confronting the fallen angel. "Who are you?" she asked. The fallen angel, dressed in black, turned his gaze towards Sona. "Well, well, if it isn't Sona Sitri," he said, looking at her closely. He dropped the iron piece from his hand, stood up from where he was seated, and brushed the dust from his clothes. "You can go. I don't have any interest in killing you... for now," he said, before attempting to leave.

"Don't underestimate us," Tomoe warned as she pointed her katana towards the fallen angel. He stopped a few steps away and once again looked at Sona. "Do you really want to fight me?" Sona remained silent. The group stood ready for battle. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Maybe if I kill all of you, I'll be able to break his mind," the fallen angel said with a strange smile. "Interesting," he suddenly took to the air, revealing his pair of wings. "Four wings," Momo whispered. "Should we kill him, Kaichou?" Reya asked once more.

"What are you thinking? Oh, maybe people will see us?" The fallen angel clapped his hands once. The entire forest was showered with a golden light spread from his hand.

"Don't be afraid now. I have created a small barrier. Come on, let's fight," he said, smiling and readying himself for the fight. "Kaichou, this is a..." Momo looked around in surprise. "Looks like a barrier used by a high-class fallen," Tsubaki observed. Sona nodded in agreement. "Then I will begin," the fallen angel suddenly spread his wings and started using magic. His feathers glowed a golden colour as they came out of his wings and headed towards Sona and the others at high speed. "Get ready," Sona commanded. Her two bishops, Reya and Momo, came forward and erected a barrier to protect the others from the fallen angel's magic. The golden feathers that hit their barrier turned and headed back towards the fallen angel. "What is this? You seem smarter than I thought," He said.

Ruruko hurled a small knife imbued with demonic power at the fallen angel. Because she is the fastest in the peerage, she spread her wings and took to the sky with the intent to engage the fallen angel in direct combat. "Just a bit closer..." The fallen angel caught the small dagger that was hurtling towards him and crushed it using one hand. "Wow..." He suddenly flapped his wings with swift movements. Ruruko, who was flying towards him, was sent crashing to the ground by the intense gusts of wind that emanated from him. "Ruruko!" Tomoe, who witnessed her friend's fall, also took to the sky. "Stop..." Sona tried to stop her, but she did not hear the warning. In that moment, the fallen angel raced towards Tomoe and brought her down with a single strike.

"That's it?" The fallen taunted Sona again. "Only four people remain to fight. That girl, she's a rook, isn't she?" he shouted from the sky. "Give me a minute, I'll come down in a bit." With that, he folded his wings and jumped from above. Upon landing, a large cloud of ash was released, creating a grand entrance like that of a super villain.

"Alright then," he wiped the ash off his body again and turned to Sona. "First I will put down your rook and next your queen she is stronger than others isn't it?" he said again looking at Sona's two knights lying on the ground. "Then I will kill your two bishops and you too." He smiled cruelly and approached the others including Sona. At the same time, Reya and Momo, who were protecting Sona, sent two magic balls made of magic demonic power towards the fallen. He slapped the two magic balls with his hand and moved them aside. The two destructive balls that completely escaped the aim of the two bishops disappeared from the thick forest of trees on the side.

Seeing this, Sona's expression darkened even further. She realized that she and her peerage were once again facing a formidable foe. Sona couldn't rely as much on her demonic magic now. Tsubaki observed Sona's face, noticing the sadness in her expression. At that moment, Tsubaki vowed to defeat the fallen angel. She then looked at the other members of the peerage lying on the ground, appearing unconscious. Tsubaki also glanced at Momo and Reya, who were shielding Sona. Both of them seemed exhausted from maintaining the barrier that protected them from the fallen angel's first attack.

"Aren't you going to hit me?" the fallen angel heard and stood waiting. Suddenly, Tsubasa jumped forward and attempted to attack the fallen angel. However, he simply stood there and began blocking Tsubasa's strikes. In fact, he dodged Tsubasa's blows effortlessly. Finally, he grabbed Tsubasa's hand and pulled her into his grip.

"Let me go!" Tsubasa tried to escape from his grip. The others were unable to act, all of them were focused on the fallen angel. "Too weak," he remarked, "It's a waste for me to use my magic to kill you." He suddenly hit Tsubasa's neck and knocked her unconscious. "Alright then, shall we fight a little more seriously?" Upon hearing this, Tsubaki immediately went to Sona and her bishops. "Okay then," the fallen angel thought for a moment and spread his wings. At the same time, Sona's eyes widened in surprise. The fallen angel now had six wings.

"Why did your face change? Oh, I realized you thought I was a low-class fallen angel? How sad," he said and started unleashing his magic. Black magic particles gathered on his palm and formed a spear shape. "Take this!" he shouted and immediately sent the black spear towards Sona.

Upon witnessing the situation, Momo and Reya jumped forward and tried to create a barrier. "No, avoid it," Sona called out, trying to remove them from danger. However, before they could, the fallen angel's magic spear was already upon them. They both sought refuge in the barrier, but the attempt was unsuccessful and the magic spear went through, hitting their bodies before disappearing. At the same time, they both fell to the ground. "Reya... Momo..." Sona rushed over to where they had fallen.

"Who are you?" Tsubaki asked in a disappointed voice. Hearing that, the fallen angel laughed again. "Thinking of stopping a magic spell that you haven't even seen is totally foolish work," he continued to laugh. "So, what do you plan to do now?" he glanced around. "You're the only one left, aren't you? I'll kill you along with these others," he looked at Tsubaki's body. Tsubaki's face became filled with anger. "How dare you?" she exclaimed as demonic power surged through her hand. She attacked the fallen angel with a magic spell, which he stopped with his hand and stepped back a few feet. "I like it," he said. "Listen Tsubaki Shinra, my name is Dohnaseek. Let's fight until you are broken." He then sent a spear made of light magic in Tsubaki's direction.

She suddenly activated her Sacred gear. A mirror about a meter high appeared in front of her. At the same time, the light spear was pulled into the mirror.

"Oh so This is the sacred gear called mirror alice, This is keep getting interesting"

The mirror reflected the light spear, making it twice its original size. The enlarged spear then turned back toward Dohnaseek, who spread his arms wide and braced himself for impact. The light spear disappeared with a burn wound on Dohnaseek's chest. He winced and said, "When my power doubles, it hurts this much, doesn't it?" He then looked at Tsubaki. "Can't you keep it activated for a little longer? Let's wait."

Dohnaseek walked forward a few steps and picked up Tsubasa once again. Meanwhile, Sona was healing Reya and Momo. Though she could not use demonic power to fight, she could still use it to heal her peerage. Sona felt a tinge of sadness as she thought, 'Why is this happening to me? If I were just a little stronger...' Tears welled up in her eyes.

A few minutes had passed. Dohnaseek was reluctant to bring his game to a close. He had been lurking in the shadows for an extended period, and he found it thoroughly entertaining to toy with his foes until they met their demise.

"That's enough, isn't it?" Dohnaseek said, stopping one of Tsubaki's spells. "No matter how many magic balls you send, I will stop them before..." he started making a spear from the dark magic he had formed earlier on his palm. "Tsubaki, I'm giving you one chance. I'm going to kill Sona with this spear now. You can stop it, but you can't use Mirror Alice." Dohnaseek made the demand.

He turned once more and took Tsubasa in his grasp, aiming at Sona. "The game begins," he declared. Suddenly, Tsubasa stood in front of Sona. 'That black spell can penetrate the barrier, casting barrier magic is useless. I can stop it with my sacred gear, but even if I do so, I can't redirect the spear away from Dohnaseek's side. If it hits him, Tsubasa will surely die,' she said, stopping to look at Sona as she attempted to heal Reya and Momo. Tsubaki understood why Sona had fallen into this predicament and knew what she needed to do to overcome it. At that moment, her only thought was to save her king and her companions.

"Thank you for always being with me Sona kaichou" Tsubaki whispered. She stood so that Dohnaseek's magic spell would only hit her.

"Hmm, looks like you've made the right decision," the smile on Fallen Angel's face didn't disappear. "Torturing low-class devils brings me great joy," he said happily. l"Alright then let's finish this" he sent the dagger like dark spear forming in his left hand towards Tsubaki. Before that he looked at Sona. She was healing her two bishops, unaware that her queen was about to die. Just like that, Dohnaseek realized that both of her Knights were conscious. In one instant, his magic spell ripped through Tsubaki's stomach and disappeared.

"Gahh!" The pain that Tsubaki felt at that time came out through her voice. Dark magic is a secret that only the top leaders of the fallen angels know, which is very rare among the fallen angels. Similarly, this dark magic is more harmful to devils than light magic.

Tsubaki's lifeless body fell to the ground. But she didn't die. Blood started coming out of her mouth. There is a hole of 5 inches on the left side of her stomach. Similarly, when Sona looked back to find out whose scream she heard, she realized that her queen was lying a few feet away. There was a lot of blood flowing under the place where her body had fallen.

"Tsubaki !!" The entire forest must have heard Sona's scream at that time. But due to the barrier made by Dohnaseek, there is no chance for it to be heard from outside. Even if there is a man outside the barrier, he can only see the foundations of the exploded church.

"Tsubaki, get up now, get up" she tried to heal Tsubaki's wound using her demonic powers. "Don't be afraid, I will heal you" she continued using demonic power to heal Tsubaki's wound. As a high-class devil, she had a good magic capacity. Just like that, Dohnaseek saw that she was constantly trying to heal Tsubaki and approached her.

"Pathetic!" Dohnaseek came to Sona and grabbed her by the collar of her uniform and threw her. He saw tears coming out of Sona's eyes. "Is this really Sona Sitri?" He started laughing again. As soon as he released Sona from his arms, she went back to Tsubaki. "Weak!" Dohnaseek went back to Sona and slapped her. Due to the speed of the blow, her glasses were thrown off.

Even with that blow he could not stop Sona. She started healing Tsubaki again. "It's no fun now," Dohnaseek moved a few feet away from her and looked at her again. "You know? I like your character a lot, but I didn't think you would change like this. Maybe you would have been able to save your peerage if your power hadn't been sealed?" He said that and looked at the others lying on the ground. His chance to enjoy himself is now over. No one is there to fight him again. He slowly moved away from Sona.

"I know!" Tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Huh!" Fallen Angel, who was a little far away, turned to her again.

"I know I'm weak right now," her hand began to glow a reddish blue. "But if I had my full power, I-I would definitely kill you," her angry eyes flashed at Dohnaseek.

"It would have been better if your actions had matched your words," he commented. "Wait a moment. I see that half of her wound has been healed," he pointed in the direction of Tsubaki's abdominal wound. "Tsubaki!" Sona called out to her friend. Tsubaki slowly opened her eyes. "Kaichou?!," she said in a weak voice. "You'll be alright soon," Sona reassured her, covering Tsubaki's hand with demonic power once more and beginning the healing process.

"No, that's not going to happen ," Dohnaseek snapped his fingers, causing Tsubaki's wound to worsen once again. "Kaichou, it hurts!" Tsubaki's eyes filled with tears. "What's happening?" Sona stared blankly at Tsubaki's wound, which was now glowing black. "Dark Magic can't be removed as easily as you think," Dohnaseek explained. "Just as light magic reveals the color of God, Dark Magic is its opposite. Anyone affected by it will experience intense pain, and even a high-class devil like you can't cure it. It may take someone of Satan-class to do so, but I can't say for certain." With that, Dohnaseek turned towards the forest and spread his six wings, taking flight. "Enjoy your misery, Sona. Your weakness is enough to shatter his heart," he said before disappearing into the sky.

A few minutes passed as Sona tried to heal Tsubaki's wound, but it only seemed to worsen. At that moment, she felt hopeless and didn't know what to do. "I can't give up now," she thought, determined to keep trying to heal Tsubaki. Suddenly, she remembered the phone in her pocket. 'I can get help from the Underworld,' she thought. But if she stopped healing Tsubaki, there was a chance she would die before help arrived from the Underworld. So she made the decision to keep healing Tsubaki continuously. At the same time, she kept an eye on the status of the others in the peerage, who were not facing much difficulty. A few had already regained consciousness and gathered around Tsubaki, unsure of what to do. Time passed like that.

'It seems like this is the end,' Tsubaki thought as she opened her eyes. The pain in her body still lingered. She watched as Sona frantically tried to heal her. Today, Tsubaki saw a new side of Sona, who is usually calm and collected. Now here is a sad Sona who was powerless. Just as Tsubaki was about to accept her death, she noticed another shadow flying in the sky. 'Who could that be?' she wondered, trying to identify the person soaring above.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landing with such speed that it sent ash and dust flying in every direction. The person was dressed in black pants and a red shirt. Tsubaki cautiously looked up, fearing that Dohnaseek had returned. But when she saw the figure more clearly, she cried out, "I-Issei!" At the sound of her voice, the others turned to look at the person who had descended from the sky. "Who's in his arms?" Everyone's gaze shifted to the figure in Issei's grip. "Isn't that the new kid?" Momo spoke up.

"It's really embarrassing Issei" Asia looked at Issei's face in his arms and said.

Few minutes ago with Issei.

I teleported to the back of the house and quickly entered through the front door. My mother greeted me with "Oh Issei, Welcome back," but I couldn't respond. I rushed upstairs to Asia's room, opened the door, and found her studying. "Asia, Sona Kaichou is in trouble and I need your help," I said as I handed her a blanket from her closet. "Is anyone hurt?" she asked while wrapping the blanket around herself. I locked the door and picked her up, "Yes, I think so. can you help me?" I asked, looking at Asia in my arms in a bridal style. "Ok, But why did you pick me up like this?" she asked me. "Oh Sorry this is the best way to carry you" I said with a smile. "Huh, How are we going to get there?" She looked at me, unable to think of anything.

"Through the window," I replied without hesitation. "Uh, through the window?" She breathed a sigh of relief. "What, through the window?" Before she could finish the question, I picked her up and jumped out of the window. "Wait-KYAAA!" She screamed loudly. I quickly spread my devil wings and started flying towards the church where Sona Kaichou was in trouble. My only thought was for their safety.

We both started flying towards the church. Asia was joyful and excited, as this was her second time flying with me. She shouted my name, "Issei!" I had difficulty speaking clearly due to the high wind speed. She asked, "Why did you ask me to wrap a blanket around my body?" I replied, "It's too cold in the sky, I don't want you to catch a cold." We had covered half of the distance, "Hang on, I'm going to speed up!" I flew higher into the sky before flying directly towards the church.

Present time.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I placed Asia on the ground. She untied the blanket that was wrapped around her body and threw it to the side. "It's cold," she tried to cover her body with her hand. "I'm sorry, Asia. I dragged you into my problem," I said, shaking my head from side to side. But Asia was determined. "No, Sona senpai helped me get into school. Now, it's my turn to help," she said excitedly. "That's my Asia!" I gave her a little head pat, appreciating her determination.

"Issei!" As soon as she saw me, Momo ran to me. Some places of her body were burning due to something. She came straight to me and hugged me. "Issei, why? Why didn't you come earlier?" I can understand her feelings. "I'm sorry, Momo," I had no choice but to hug her back. "Issei, Tsubaki senpai!" Tears began to fall from her eyes again. "Why, what about her?" I freed her from my hug and ran to where Sona was sitting. Asia followed behind me.

When I arrived, I saw Sona sitting next to Tsubaki, trying to heal her. The others were standing around Tsubaki with small bruises visible on their bodies. Tsubaki's condition was dire, with a continuous flow of blood from her wound on the side of her stomach. Sona was constantly whispering Tsubaki's name, "Tsubaki! Tsubaki! Tsubaki!" and didn't seem to notice my presence, even when I called out to her, "Kaichou!" She turned her face slightly towards me, and at that moment, I saw that Sona Sitri was not the confident person she was portrayed to be in the anime. Ruruko, who was behind me, said "She tried to protect us." Asia, upon seeing Tsubaki's condition, exclaimed "Oh my God!"

"Asia, can you heal her?" I asked, looking at her. "I think I can do that," she replied, giving a thumbs up. I stepped back a little and looked up at the sky. "Dohnaseek, you fucker! First you change my friends' memories, then you try to kill my mother, and now you did this to my peerage. Unforgivable!" I exclaimed, feeling my anger boil over. My left arm felt like it was burning and I could feel the Boosted Gear trying to come out despite my attempts to keep it under control.

"Twilight Healing," Asia begins to heal Tsubaki. Two green and silvery rings appear on her hand. "Sona senpai, please sit aside for a while, and I will take care of the rest," Asia told her calmly. "But if I stop, her wound will start bleeding again," Sona insisted. "Don't be afraid, trust me," Asia put her hand on Sona's and smiled. "Okay then," Sona complied and started to heal the others. They didn't have many injuries, but the magic power of both of her bishops was exhausted. "Alright then," Asia closed her eyes and placed her palm on Tsubaki's wound, as she prayed to God. The wound started to shrink slowly. "Asia, can you do this?" I approached her. "Yes, no problem. It will take some time, but Issei, this magic power is not something I can handle," she explained. Because of her explanation, I placed my left hand on Tsubaki's stomach and started to examine it. The Boosted Gear popped up on my left. "What do you think? Do you know anything?"

The Boosted Gear started flashing red, and Ddraig's voice came out of it,

(Like a new magic element, it's more powerful than light magic. I cam sense it) Everyone except Asia turned to look at me upon hearing the voice. "That gauntlet can talk?" Reya exclaimed in surprise. Sona's eyes widened, and she seemed to have figured out the truth. Keeping my secret any longer could be fatal for all of us.

I screamed at Dohnaseek, who was standing behind me in a black cloak, "You dare touch what important to me?" He greeted me with a smile, "Hero, long time no see." Then he asked, "Do you like what I did to you and your friends? Did that break your spirit?"

Dohnaseek took to the sky and spread his wings, "I have longed to fight you, Issei hyoudou. Today, it looks like that desire will finally be fulfilled." He stopped in the sky above us, "Say goodbye to those below," he said making a cruel smile.

"What do we do now?" The others, including Momo, began panicking. Asia was still healing Tsubaki. "Asia, how much longer will you need?" I asked. "About 15 minutes," she replied. "Alright, I'll take care of this," I said and started walking towards where Dohnaseek was hovering in the sky. "Hey, stop!" I heard Tsubasa's voice behind me. "Issei, I know you're strong, but that is a monster up there you can't beat. Not even with the four of us," she tried to warn me. "Don't worry. You don't truly know me yet, and I did not expect you to discover my secret at this time," I stated, looking directly into Sona's face. However, when I met her gaze, she averted her eyes. 'Looks like my king is angry with me,' I thought, suppressing a smile and resumed my march. I activated my boosted gear. I switched it to its third form. "Much better," I said, glancing back at Tsubasa and telling her to step back.

"Summon!" I shouted, holding out my hands as I summoned Tiamat to my side. A magical circle appeared on the ground, and Tiamat's magic crest glowed brightly within the large green stone in the center of my gear.

"Master," she said, bowing respectfully before me.

"I am sorry for being brought here suddenly Tiamat, but I need you to protect Asia and the others until I defeat the one above. And, I give permission to use your dragon form."

"Understood, Master," she replied, before walking towards Sona.

"Tiamat, what happened?" I asked, noticing a change in her eyes.

"Nothing, Master," she said, not offering any further explanation.

"Don't worry," I assured her, "I will finish this soon." I took a deep breath and relaxed my limbs. "Balance Break!" I exclaimed, my voice ringing out loud and clear.

(( Welsh Dragon: Balance Breaker! )) came Ddraig's voice from my Boosted Gear. Sona and the others were shocked, their eyes wide in disbelief. They had never suspected that I was the current Red Dragon Emperor, and to see me activate my Balance Breaker for the first time was an awe-inspiring sight.

As the red iron pieces encased my body, I felt a rush of power coursing through me. The power was distributed evenly throughout my body, making me feel stronger and more capable than ever before. I turned to face Sona and the others, a confident smile on my face and I don't think they saw it.

"You didn't think I was the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation, did you?" I said with a smirk. "But now, you all know the truth."

They did not speak a word at that time. I looked at everyone. Tiamat stood behind the group including Sona. Asia was constantly working on healing Tsubaki. After that I approached where Dohnaseek was. "Then let's finish this today" I activated the iron wings and jet boosters of the boosted gear scale mail and took to the sky.

Done.

I had to reveal Issei's powers to others earlier than I thought. But I didn't see much of a problem. But I think that some paragraphs were a bit rushed. Some people think that I have shown a bad side of Sona in this story. The first one is not the Dxd world shown in this anime or LN. So many things can change. Similarly, in my story, Sona's past is not as good as her present. At the same time, Sona is not the only character with a sad backstory. There are more. You will understand how different the timeline of this story is. If there are any problems, please tell me in a review. thank you
