In Lucifaad, Central Headquarters
Storms were occurring and the whole Underworld was shaking. Even though Lucifaad was located in the dead centre of the Underworld, the people inside the Headquarters still could feel it from far away.
"What's happening now? We all are far away from the Southwestern Underworld. Why can feel the tremors."
Rias asked.
"This is a result of large scale powerup. It is so powerful that it is able to shake the entire Underworld."
"And the energy output feels like it's coming from Regalzeva. But why is he getting the time to powerup? Issei is supposed to be way stronger than Regalzeva. He should be done by now. Is his powerup so fast, because the power is rising rapidly. Did something happen to him?"
Ajuka replied to her, which was further continued by Sirzechs. He put a very worrisome question in front of all of them that all the Gremory peerage members questioned in a loud in shocking manner.
"WHAT?!"
["No, nothing has happen to him. His energy would have faded permanently then. Issei is not really that dumb anymore. He is way smarter now. And knowing him, Regalzeva can't trick him and powerup. The most accurate possibility is that he himself is letting Regalzeva to drop all his restraints and go full power. Yes, that must be the case. I don't see another reason for this to happen."]
Ddraig replied.
"No way!"
Rias exclaimed in a worried tone.
"Why would he do something like that?"
Irina asked worriedly.
"If he is so smart, why is he throwing the game away? Giving a chance to power up to the beast would destroy everything."
Saji said.
["Probably, because he wants to fight him at his maximum. Don't worry. Everything will be fine."]
Ddraig replied.
"But that is straight up stupidity."
Kiba said.
"How are we not supposed to worry.?"
Akeno asked worriedly. Just then, Ddraig shifted his gaze to the mirror. He did not look back for once or utter a single word. This made them worry for Issei even more. Rias the approached and started walking towards Ddraig. Ddraig was facing the window. While walking, Rias asked.
"What is it Ddraig?"
["Regalzeva has reached his maximum. The two are at the exact same power level. Not a single point up or down they are at their maximums. This is going to be a completely fair, even and a really interesting match."]
Ddraig replied. Ddraig was not focusing on Rias' voice. So, he did not notice that the voice was becoming closer. She ordered.
"Ddraig, you will go to help Issei right this instance. I will not take a no as a reply."
["Don't worry. He will be fine. Just put your trust in him."]
He replied without looking behind. Rias' voice came from an even closer distance.
"I said, go."
Ddraig got annoyed.
["You don't order me around, Gremory. "]
He replied.
The voice then came from just behind him. She ordered again
"I said... go!"
["And I said-"]
He was fed up with this, he turned around to disobey her but was met with a horrifying sight. Rias, whose eyes were devoid of any emotions, but with the red destructive aura in her eyes, stared dead in the eye at Ddraig. She didn't care if Ddraig was stronger than her. It was like she was staring at his soul. She was also surrounded by really dense, red aura of destruction. Ddraig had never felt this much fear. It was scarier than the feeling he had when Issei yelled at him after transforming into a Super Saiyan. She then ordered with a really life threatening and terrifying tone.
"This is the last time Ddraig. Go and make sure that Issei is alright, else, the consequences are going to be really bad."
She threatened him. Ddraig did not have the courage to argue with her any further. He was done for good. He around in order to look away from Rias' nightmarish eyes, that pierced his soul. Without uttering a single word, he opened the window, put his right leg on the slab of the window, materialized his wings and jumped out of the window and flew away.
Scene Change : With Ddraig
["I am never getting a woman or arguing with any other man's woman ever again."]
He thought as he had learnt a lesson that he would never even dare to forget. He flew away as had set his way towards the Southwestern region of the Underworld.
Scene Change : With Issei and Regalzeva
Regalzeva's punch had a bid impact on Issei's body. His hand had pushed Issei's chest a little bit inwards. Issei separated his chest from Regalzeva's fist and went back while holding his chest with both hands.
"Kh-kh-kh! *Huff* *Huff*"
He was struggling to catch his breath back. Issei, with the back of his hand, rubbed the blood off the side of his mouth. He then rose his head up, turning his sight towards Regalzeva. He then gave a short smile to him while taking short breathes rapidly. Regalzeva then spoke up.
"I find it really interesting. You and me, both have the exact same power levels now that we both are at our maximum. Seems like you haven't lost the battle after all. This is sick! So many millennia have passed, and at long last, I have found an opponent that has equal strength like I do. This is fascinating."
It was very clear that Regalzeva was very excited for the upcoming battle. He had never met an opponent that could go toe to toe with him in his full power. Issei then extended his right arm halfway forward and turned his palm up with all his fingers pointing upwards. He then curled his finger inwards, back and forth twice, signaling Regalzeva to come at him. Regalzeva smirked at him and rapidly charged at Issei. He then delivered a left jab and hit Issei's chest again. He then grabbed the sides of Issei's head with both his hands and gave him a strong headbutt, sending him flying back. Regalzeva then disappeared from his position and teleported behind Issei. He had his right arm drawn up, folded and his elbow was exposed in the front. He thrusted his arm down and hit Issei in the back, sending him flying down. He then came in front of Issei and unleashed a aggressive barrage of numerous punches and kicks at vey high speed. All of his attacks hit Issei. Issei couldn't move an inch from his position. He was caught up in the attack very bad. After several numerous attacks, Regalzeva grabbed Issei by either of his armpits and pulled him up. Issei's entire body was just above Regalzeva's head. Regalzeva then threw Issei down. As Issei was falling towards the ground, he quickly rolled and turned his body upright and landed on the side of a pillar on his feet. Suddenly, Regalzeva came down to press Issei down with his feet. Issei, because he expected something like this to happen, evaded Regalzeva's attack. But the impact created a medium sized dust cloud at the spot. Issei instantly flew away from there and started getting away from Regalzeva. Regalzeva also started flying to chase Issei down. Because of his highly increased speed, he was just above Issei in half a second. He then pulled up his arms with his fingers interlocked with each other and both his hands joined together. He then thrusted his hands and hit Issei in the back. It sent him crashing down to the ground. Regalzeva rapidly flied down and dropped down to the ground where Issei fell. He turned his head all around in search of Issei, but he was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, two arms came from behind of either sides of his body. The right arm tightly grabbed his waist and the left one grabbed the right side. As Regalzeva turned his head sideways towards the left with his eyes at the extreme left corner. He saw Issei grabbing him from behind.
"Issei!"
He said in a shocked tone. He did not expect him to come from behind.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
He roared as he started to pull Regalzeva up in the air. The muscles of his back became very tight and his arms had become a little bigger and beefed because of the strength that he was applying to pull Regalzeva up. Regalzeva was now above his Issei's head as he was starting to bend back. He then started to make an arch with his body as he rapidly pulled him down He then thrusted Regalzeva's entire body down. Regalzeva's back of the head crashed to the ground. Issei had pinned him down for a suplex.
CRACK!
A crack sound echoed loudly in the terrain. Regalzeva's head was bent. His vertebral column in the neck had broken and the part of the skull above cerebellum area had shattered. Issei released Regalzeva from his hold and separated himself from him. He then quickly jumped away before Regalzeva's lower half of the body fell. Regalzeva eyes were completely opened and his mandible was pressed tightly against the upper jaw. He was baring his teeth with saliva flowing out of the either corners of his mouth. Tears also flowed out of his eyes. He did not make a sound, but it was really excruciating for him. Issei then stood up, being a little away from Regalzeva. Regalzeva also stood back up and fixed his neck and crack some bones and he was back to normal. It was like nothing happened to him. His internal fractures were now healed. He really had a fast regeneration ability. Issei then, without wasting any time , flied up. Regalzeva also started chasing him. He flew faster than Issei was and went past him. After flying upto a necessary altitude, he stopped flying up any further. He then turned around. He flew so fast that Issei could not see him. He did not know that Regalzeva was standing, waiting for him to reach there. Issei sped up and started flying really fast. He was not concentrating on the way he was going. He was just going up without knowing where Regalzeva was. Suddenly, Regalzeva's face was in front of his. Regalzeva gave a wide and freaky smile to him. Regalzeva then once again, sent a series of powerful and rapid blows at Issei, without stopping. He kept punching him but it was not enough to satisfy him. Issei then decided to stop recieving blows from Regalzeva. His summoned his SSJ aura and surrounded himself with it. He the flew away at mind blowing speed. Regalzeva was not happy with it. He wanted to beat him into a pulp, even if he was dead. His life did not matter to Regalzeva anymore since after knowing that Ddraig knows more than Issei does, Issei had become to useless now. Ddraig was way weaker than him now. He knew that he would have a hard time fighting Issei but once he kills him, there will be no one in his way to stop him. Regalzeva also started flying in the direction where Issei went. It was easy as he had left behind a long energy trail. In no time, he was just behind him. Because of the terrain change, the second level of hell was facing big problems. It was facing high tensions that was created due to the movement of plate in the first level. Issei was back in the place where Regalzeva to him punching to the second level. A big hole on the ground. It was visible that the lava was boiling and bubbles were popping on the surface of it. Suddenly, the popping of bubbles got very fast and finally, a tall pillar of lava erupted and went high up in the sky. The lava then fell down back inside from where it erupted from. It left behind dark black smoke with burnt up smell. He then turned around as he could feel Regalzeva's energy closing. He had just blinked once when he saw right in front of him. It was like a SCP 173 situation, more danger. Regalzeva quickly punched Issei on his left cheek that sent him flying down. Issei was falling really fast. When he was just a few inches above the ground, he surrounded himself with his SSJ aura and turned around. He then flew away. Regalzeva was flying down to catch Issei, instantly changed his pathway and started following Issei. They were flying very rapidly through the smokes, leaving a hole in it whenever the passed through the smoke. Issei kept flying forward while Regalzeva was right behind him. Regalzeva drew his right arm back in an attempt to punch Issei. Issei then suddenly turned around. Regalzeva was shocked to see this. Issei then brought his right fist from the side and swung it horizontally, in an intention to punch Regalzeva before he did. But in vain, he only hit his afterimage.
"The Fuck?!"
Said an astonished Issei. He certainly saw with his own eyes that he had punched Regalzeva. He the started looking here and there, looking for Regalzeva.
"Darn it! He is moving so fast that I can't even sense him. What should I do now?"
He thought to himself. Suddenly, he was hit in the neck by a very powerful right knee blow from. After receiving it, it was that big of a problem for Issei. But the jumpscare that Regalzeva gave to him, almost made him throw his heart out from is mouth. He was sent crashing to the ground. Regalzeva followed him down. Issei's body was trembling after recieving the blow. He was in the plank position, only except his knees touching the ground. He the turned back while his knees were touching the ground. He looked up in the sky and saw Regalzeva rushing down at him at a very fast pace. He, with his right feet, pressed Issei's head down to the ground. He then jumped high up. Issei then got half way up with pushing down the ground. He had his right knee and the tip of his shoe touging the ground and only his bare left feet touching the ground. Regalzeva was again rushing at Issei at immense speed. Issei got completely up on his feet and stood straight. Regalzeva drew his left arm back. Seeing so, Issei crossed his arms in front of him to guard himself. Regalzeva then threw his arm forward, punching Issei's arms. Regalzeva then kept running a series of powerful punches and kicks at Issei. Although Issei was able to shield himself from the rain of Regalzeva's attacks, he still was struggling to block all of his attacks. Regalzeva then levitated a little above the ground and started punching Issei at a very fast rate, pushing him back. Issei feet grinded against the ground. Issei was completely fine with his right foot as his shoe was still intact and on his foot, but could feel a burning pain due to the friction that was getting applied on his left foot. He was continuously getting pushed back until there was pillar right behind him. When Regalzeva threw another punch at him. He ducked. As a result, Regalzeva hit the pillar and the entire pillar shattered into tiny stone pieces and fell on the ground. It was a stone rain occurring right behind Issei. Regalzeva then threw his arm forward, in an attempt to punch Issei. Issei moved a little to his left side, dodging his attack and as soon as he got the chance, he grabbed Regalzeva's left wrist. When he threw his right arm at Issei, also got grabbed by the wrist. Both his hands were now captured by Issei. Regalzeva tried as hard as he could, but he couldn't make Issei let go of his hands. Issei had tightly held his hands. Regalzeva then started putting out his Dark Violet colored aura around him. The aura surrounded both of them at the same time. It kept moving from bottom to up, like Issei's Golden aura. The two then started levitating up. Regalzeva was increasing the fierceness of his aura second by second, slowly making Issei to loose his grip of his hands.They kept levitating even higher and Regalzeva kept increasing the manner of the flow of his aura. Regalzeva then increased the energy output to extremely high. The pressure exerted by Regalzeva was sufficient enought to break a few pillars near them. Issei was starting to loose the grip of his hands. His grip became from extreme tight, to very weak. It gave Regalzeva the oppurtunity of getting himself freed from Issei hold. He then threw Issei arms aside and delivered a very powerful right knee on his gut.
"Guh!"
The blow made Issei to throw up some blood out of his mouth. He brought his head down. He kept coughing to readjust his body back to normal from his state after he received the blow. Each time he coughed, he coughed out few drops of blood out of his mouth and the drop fell down. Regalzeva, after seeing his condition, was very happy. He teased Issei as he spoke.
"Just look at the Saiyan Warrior. One strike and he is about to thrown in the towel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
He began to laugh out loudly after finishing his sentence. It showed how good he felt after witnessing Issei in pain. It showed how pleased he was. But still, as soon as Issei spoke, his confidence was shattered.
"Don't get so excited, Regalzeva."
Regalzeva then stopped laughing and bared his teeth while staring at Issei. Issei then brought his head up and continued while he was panting to catch as a sign that he was still recovering from the attack that he was the victim of.
"This battle is way far from over. Because this, you will be the one who is going to be forced to throw in the towel. I am gonna put some dirt in your eye."
He finished with the famous Bully Maguire quote. The lava underneath Issei could be seen rapidly boiling again. It was ready to erupt once again. The lava then erupted in the shape of a pillar. It was moving up very rapidly, and was almost about to engulf Issei in whole. As soon as the lava reached the tip of his right shoe. He teleported from there. He teleported from place to place and started going away from Regalzeva. Regalzeva, on seeing him going away, also started teleporting from place to place in the chase. Issei then teleported to another place, just to see that Regalzeva had teleported in from of him. Regalzeva the threw a punch at him. But Issei teleported and avoided it. He then teleported to another place, and was followed by Regalzeva as he teleported right in front of him. Issei the quickly drew back his right arm and instantly thrusted it forward in order to punch Regalzeva. Regalzeva, by teleporting a few meters away from him but still facing him, avoided his punch. Regalzeva then spoke to Issei.
"What amazing power that you've got there. Superb, indeed! But I am the ultimate Evil God of the Evie Etoudie race. In this form of mine, nothing can stop me. I remain untouched. You crumble to death, but I live on, no matter what happens. After I kill you here, I am going to kill the remaining population of the Underworld, take Ddraig and go to get the Dragon balls to achieve ultimate annexation over Earth."
"Don't worry about you life, Regalzeva. I can still and will own you. We have no difference in strength at this point, remember? The damage that you can deal to me is exactly the same damage I can deal to you. You need to be alive to execute your plans. That depends isn't it? If you are dead and you will be. You are done right here, it all ends here. I will overthrow you here and end your reign."
Issei answered and the next thing he did was return to his fighting stance. Regalzeva, on the other hand, was very furious. No one, ever had the audacity to speak to him like this. He then started yelling at Issei loudly
"No! You can not overthrow me! You are the one who is done, you hear me?! You! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
He then rushed at Issei at full speed. Issei could not read his position for an instance. Regalzeva soon appeared in front of Issei and punched the left side of his face. Regalzeva then disappeared from there. He then charged at Issei from behind. When he was just a little away from Issei, Issei quickly turned around and extended his right arm in front of him. Regalzeva, after seeing this, pressed his breaks, but due to speed he was traveling in and the momentum, he face landed right in front of Issei's opened hand. Issei reached out a little forward and grabbed Regalzeva's face. Regalzeva tried his best to make Issei let go of his face, but couldn't. Issei then moved forward and closed the distance between them. Issei then extended his left arm and reached out the back of Regalzeva's head. He then grabbed it and pushed him forward and pressed his head against his right side of waist. He the brought his right arm down and locked his head with pressing it against his waist with his anterior elbow. Regalzeva, with all his might, started pushing Issei's body away with his hands. But it had no effect on Issei. Regalzeva's entire face was fully exposed. Issei then thrusted up his right leg and kicked Regalzeva with his ankle. He started a spree of kicking Regalzeva on his face. He kept kicking Regalzeva's face with his ankle a few scores of time. Sometime it hit his forehead, sometimes his eyes or nose or his mouth. The kicks were so powerful that it made blood spew out from his face, each time his ankle hit him. It even slowly started deforming his face. Regalzeva was not pushing Issei anymore. He was almost unconscious again after geting kicked so many times on his face. His face had turned all red, drenched in blood. He was not even trying to move any more. When Issei thought that it was enough for him, he released him by throwing him forward. He was suspended in the air and couldn't move. As he was moving back, Issei appeared above him and kicked him as hard as he could below Regalzeva's left eye with his anterior ankle, sending him crashing down to the ground.
CRASH!
Many small stone that broke off from the impact, when Regalzeva hit the ground, and got tossed about 7 ft up from the ground and then fell down. A large cloud of dust was generated in the area. The cloud soon vanished in thin air. Issei was staring down. Regalzeva wasn't present there. Issei smiled very softly, knowing what's coming up. Regalzeva suddenly flied up and stopped a few meters away in front of Issei, he then extended and placed both his in front of him with all his fingers opened. He then fired a very enormous, aggressive Dark Violet colored beam from his hand{Attack name - Galaxy Devastation Blaster} after he yelled.
"YHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
It moved towards Issei really fast. Issei did not show any sign of defending himself from the blast. He just stood idle, letting Regalzeva blast him. Soo enough, Issei completely got engulfed by the beam of energy. It Regalzeva stopped the attack, it left behind a very large amount of smoke. A strong wind passed by the area, carrying the smoke away. Regalzeva was very shocked. It was true that the damage that they would deal to each other would be equal. Issei was not fazed by the attack, even though his clothes had become more tattered. His shirt, on the front side, had a big, even, v-shaped tearing, exposing half of his chest on either sides. It reached until the middle portion of the upper part of the first pair of abs. The portion of the shirt on the shoulders had become thin. On the front side of his pants, there was a long, vertical tearing of about 11 inches and was about 3 to 4 inches wide, on his right thigh which ended right above his knee. His left lower leg, till under the knee, was completely bare since half his left side of the pants had burnt away. The shirt was also torn unevenly, in v-shape, on the back and in half of his back could be seen. From the lower end of his right interior knee, till his ankle joint, his pants were completely torn over the calf. Only a long and thin piece of cloth, about 1 inch wide, over his calf was all that was left. Regalzeva then charged at Issei and tried to punch him. Issei just moved to his right side to dodge Regalzeva's attack. As soon as Regalzeva went past him, he disappeared from there. Issei looked for him everywhere. Regalzeva then appeared behind Issei. He had hid left arm drawn back. He then thrusted his arm forward and tried to punch Issei. Issei, with his insane, reflexes, dodged the attack and grabbed Regalzeva's entire left arm and locked it with pressing his arm against himself using his left arm. Regalzeva tried to pull his arm many a times, but the result was negative. Issei then thrusted his head back and his Regalzeva on the forehead with the back of his head. A few drops of blood came out of Regalzeva's forehead. Issei then released Regalzeva's hand, turned around and grabbed his hand with both of his hands. Issei then started spinning in circles. He then sped up and kept speeding up while his rotated in circles. Regalzeva's head started spinning too. He could see stars aside from the evening sky. Issei rotated so fast that he was about to generate a new twister beneath him. He then threw him down. Regalzeva started falling towards the ground really fast. He then turned around as he formed a Dark Violet colored sphere in his right hand{Attack name - Devastating Energy Blast}. He then launched the sphere towards the ground in order to prevent himself from falling. The sphere then hit the ground, causing a very huge, Violet colored, dome shaped explosion. Just when Regalzeva was about to turn back, Issei suddenly flied down with both of his leg extended at Regalzeva. He then hardly kicked Regalzeva on the back of his head, sending him down. Regalzeva then got caught in the explosion and became the victim of his own attack. Issei then moved away from that area and waited for the explosion to end. After a while, Regalzeva rose up and came face to face with Issei. He had burn marks all over his body. Issei, on seeing him, turned back and started flying away. Regalzeva was not thinking clearly, his rage from failing to attack and being attacked constantly made him very mad. Also, it was really embarrassing for him to end up being the receiver of his own attack. He just wanted to make sure that he had killed Issei once and for all. He was not using his brain anymore. He was being driven by his rage. He followed everywhere Issei went. He took every turn and diversion that Issei took while chasing him. Issei, without doing or saying anything, stopped moving forward and turned around. Regalzeva also stopped a few meters away from him. He then clenched his fist tightly. Issei then extended his right arm while pointing his index finger at Regalzeva. Regalzeva at first thought he was going to attack, so he took the stance for dodging his attacks without any trouble. But Issei pointed his finger down and shook his hand slightly up and down twice, pointing at something. To check it, Regalzeva looked down. He saw that he was floating above the same spot where Issei disappeared before getting hit by lava. It was about to erupt once again. Before Regalzeva could make a run, the lava erupted once more and had engulfed Regalzeva. Or did it? Regalzeva, before the lava could touch him, had teleported behind. He then teleported 3 to 4 times, going backwards. He then saw Issei teleporting at different spots and coming closer. He also teleported 3 to 4 times until he was right in front of Regalzeva. He then swung his arm in an attempt to punch Regalzeva, but Regalzeva had dodge and doing so, he avoided getting hit. Issei then teleported a few meters away behind Regalzeva. He was at a much lower altitude than that of Regalzeva's altitude above the ground that he was floating in. Regalzeva was getting both confused and mad. He the threw his right arm in front of him, aiming at Issei with his palm completely opened.
"HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!"
Regalzeva yelled at Issei before he launched his Dark Violet colored sphere once again at Issei. Issei who was charging at Regalzeva, soon got captivated inside the sphere and it was going to explode very soon which was a bad news for him. The sphere also imposed high resistance on his movements. Issei started pushing the sphere with all his might. Soon enough, he broke the sphere which caught Regalzeva by surprise. Issei then pulled his legs up, aiming at Regalzeva while he charged at him. He put the together side by side and kicked Regalzeva with both his leg. He then performed a frontflip and hovered above Regalzeva. He the extended his right arm and supported it with the left one.
"I have. NOW SUCK ON THIS SHITBAG!"
He yelled at Regalzeva and fire a light blue colored ki blast at him. Since Issei fired it from a point blank range, Regalzeva couldn't avoid it. He was sent falling down to the ground. Issei did not turn his eyes away from Regalzeva even once. He witnessed him falling down and crashing into the ground. He kept his eyes stuck there as a medium sized dust cloud was formed around the certain spot where Regalzeva fell. He then placed his wrists together and drew his hands and placed it a few inches away from his waist with his fingers curled. Basically, he took the Kamehameha stance because he knew how bad is Regalzeva's temper and this might have become dangerous for him. The next moment, he could see that something had come out, up from inside the cloud. He could not see what came out because it moved really fast, but he had an idea. When the thing came out, it dragged a cloud a little up, making the cloud pointy at the top for a moment, but it settled down pretty soon and was ultimately carried away by the wind. Issei then turned his head around as he could feel a pressure behind him. He then tilted his head up. He saw Regalzeva far above grinding his teeth with each other and glaring at Issei with his wide opened with a with veins superficial on his head and red lines of the blood vessels could clearly be seen in his eyes, showing that he was really in a bad mood. Issei still had not charged the Kamehameha wave in the gap of his hands. On seeing Regalzeva's expressions, Issei thought to himself.
"He is struggling hard not to be blinded by rage. What will he do if I drop my attack?"
He decided to cancel his attack. He canceled the Kamehameha pose and returned back to the normal posture. When Regalzeva saw that Issei was not going to charge the Kamehameha attack against him, he then roared as he was done with controlling his anger. He let his anger and rage be the master of his decisions anger himself be controlled by it.
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
After screaming his lungs out, he charged at Issei at his top speed. He then crossed his arms after grabbing Issei from around the either sides of his waist and before that, he delivered a headbutt to Issei's abdomen that made him spit out some saliva. He the started pushing him back while grabbing him. Issei, after catching his breath back, drew his right arm up and folded it inwards with the elbow facing the outside. He then thrusted his arm down and hit Regalzeva with it, making Regalzeva to release Issei. He then was suspended horizontally in mid air. Issei then appeared above him with his right leg drawn completely up. He then thrusted his leg down, hitting Regalzeva's abdomen, for a tit for tat, with his ankle, sending him crashing down to the ground. As soon as he fell to the ground, the impact created a small crater around him. Issei dropped down on the ground the next second. He the stood up straight. He was just a few meters away from Regalzeva. Regalzeva then stood up right away, in the next instance. He was getting more and more frustrated every time he failed to land a blow on Issei or getting hit by him. He then charged at Issei at full speed and tried to punch him with his right fist. Issei simply rose his left arm and blocked his punch with the back of his forearm. Issei the drew his own right arm back and closed his fingers and formed a fist. He then thrusted his fist forward. But unfortunately, his first was caught by Regalzeva. They then separated and moved a little away from each other. The two of them drew their left arms back. They then moved forward threw their arms forward. The two hit each other's forearm's backs, producing a very loudly hit sound that echoed loudly and several times throughout the Underworld. The impact also shattered the ground into many big, uneven quadrilateral shaped rocks. The rocks then fell a little deeper inside the ground.The two then seperated again and grabbed each other's hands and started pushing each other back. Due to their equal strength and power, none could push each other back. Regalzeva then surrounded himself with his Dark Violet aura and exerted more pressure on Issei's hands, making him bent a bit back and also made his left leg to bend, therefore getting a little lowered. Issei, then also surrounded himself with his Golden aura that helped him to stand completely straight once again. They returned in equilibrium. Both of their arms were placed higher than their heads. Issei then pulled down Regalzeva's left arm with the full strength of his arm hand. Now, one of their arms was high above their head and the other one was below their waist. The two then started pushing each other back with all their might while yelling lungs out.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"YWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The size of their auras started increasing and kept getting bigger and bigger. The heat produced by their auras kept increasing. Their aura radiated over a big area. The rocks started getting lifted up by an abstract force and started levitating around the two. The rocks then got erased instantly. A big circle, of about 1km as its diameter, was dug due to the reaction taking place above. The hollow reached so deep that the second level of hell was clearly visible. The two then separated from each other and moved back. The circle under them was a perfect one without any unwanted curves if disfigurements. It showed the calibre of the two that were facing each other. They then pushed themselves even further. Due to the explosive amount of power they gave out, another small explosion occured on one of the corners of the big circle and also producing black colored smoke around them as a result of the explosion. The smoke soon cleared as it got mixed with the air pretty quickly. The two were seen standing, facing each other while floating in air. Issei did not show any expressions while Regalzeva was again getting frustrated as he could not make Issei pay for disrespecting him so much. His completely normal face like nothing happened pissed Regalzeva off more.
"How? How can you not feel anything after all that. You must be feeling very painful after I have beaten you up so badly."
Regalzeva asked Issei in a very frustrated and loud tone.
"Why should I feel anything, it is not like that every hit of yours is stronger than the previous ones. My body has gotten used to it. Now all you hits feel the same as before, mundane."
Issei replied to him in a disrespectful manner. Moreover, he put more emphasis on the word 'mundane' to make it sound more disrespectful.
"How dare you! You've inflicted indescribable damage to my pride. This is enough!"
He got more pissed and yelled at Issei. He then disappeared from his place and reappeared in front of Issei. He then hit Issei in his mandible via a right uppercut. It made him close his left eye in pain. Issei was slowly sent floating up a 2 to 3 meters above from the uppercut. Regalzeva then disappeared from his position and appeared behind Issei very quickly. He had his left arm drawn up. He then thrusted his arm and hit Issei in his neck, sending him falling downwards. While he was falling with his front side of the body facing upwards at the sky, Regalzeva came flying down rapidly at Issei with both of his knees placed side by side. He then hit Issei in his stomach with his knees. Regalzeva then came charging down at Issei. He had his left arm drawn back. When he was very near to Issei with very less space between the two of them, he threw his left arm forward in order to punch Issei. Issei quickly turned straight up and crossed both his arms to defend shield himself from the punch. Regalzeva failed to land the punch as it hit Issei's left wrist, which was placed above the right one. Regalzeva then brought his right arm from the side to punch Issei while he was busy defending himself. Issei had noticed that. Before the fist could reach his face, Issei grabbed his right hand by his wrist, with his left hand. He then grabbed his left hand with his right one and pulled him forward to throw him behind. The next second he had released his left hand, he landed a left elbow to Regalzeva's face, sending flying him far back. Regalzeva then regained his balance back and rushed at Issei once again. Issei stood straight waiting for him. Regalzeva drew his right arm back while he was flying towards Issei. When he was right in front of Issei, he thrusted his arm forward. It was very fast but Issei somehow managed to dodge it. He then push his arm away with the back of his left wrist and then punched him in the face with his right fist. He then moved a bit back and the yelled out loud.
"How's this then?"
He then thrusted his right fist into Regalzeva's gut. Regalzeva spit out some saliva from his mouth. It sent him about 10 meters back. He the spread both his arms to his sides to prevent himself from going back. He then disappeared and reappeared instantly in front of Issei. He then started throwing many punches and kicks at Issei. At long last, Regalzeva again had the situation, for himself, under control. He was successful in landing every single hit on Issei. He increased his attacking pace. On the face, on the body, on the legs, he landed several blows on every single part of his body except one. He then changed his position and teleported behind Issei and started hitting him from behind. Issei had had enough. He was done with getting hit by Regalzeva. He disappeared from the place. Regalzeva was not happy by getting interrupted in his fun. He started looking all the way around and turned around once again. When he turned back for the second time, Issei was right in front of him. He the swept his right leg from the side and kicked Regalzeva in the face. He was sent flying down. After falling down a few meters, he disappeared from his place and teleported behind Issei. He had his right leg drawn high up. He then thrusted his leg down, hitting Issei on the head and sending him falling down. Regalzeva then disappeared from his position and reappeared just under Issei while he was falling. He then grabbed Issei by his left leg and started spinning him around in circles vigorously. Issei's head was spinning like anything. He could not see anything clearly. He tried to bend his body downwards while he was in the 180 rotation behind Regalzeva. He then successfully grabbed Regalzeva's cape and gave it a hard pull. As it was also attached with his throat except from his shoulders, the pull exerted pressure on his throat and he started choking. It made him to stop spinning Issei around in circles. Regalzeva still had Issei's leg in his hold and Issei had a firm grip on Regalzeva's cape. The two then looked at each other and spoke to each other.
"Release my cape at once, kid!"
"Well, you are the one who grabbed my leg first, so you should be the one releasing me."
"Prepare to be squashed then!"
He threatened Issei for not obeying his orders. He the brought his left arm in front of him and charged another Dark Violet colored sphere in his hand.
"You think I'm scared of you Regalzeva?! I am gonna make you pay so badly that you will regret messing with us even after your death!"
Issei too yelled at Regalzeva without any fear. He also rose his left arm and placed it in front of him and charged a yellow colored ki blast. The tow then launched their respective spheres at each other. Since the space between the two was not very big, the spheres hit each other and exploded in the next second, producing very vast amount of smoke around them. Two figures were seen retreating back rapidly from the smoke. The smoke slowly cleared. The two were about 20 meters away from each other ,standing still and having their eyes fixed at each other.
