Here I am with another translated chapter!
The waits are really long, longer than I had originally thought. I'll try to readjust the pace once I finish my studies, which is very soon.
Having clarified the reasons for the delays, it's time to answer a review:
Guest: I'm really glad you liked this story so much. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience regarding the translation, as I know perfectly well that it is far from perfect.
Now, let's get started!
Enjoy!
CHAPTER 88: DEFEAT IMMINENT! THE TRUE POWER OF TRIHEXA!
"Don't you think it's too early to be celebrating victory?"
Issei and Ophis looked towards the direction of the voice, and the great surprise was not long in coming when they saw how Trihexa was not only still alive, but that her human body had changed in several aspects. What stood out most about her changed appearance were her eyes and hair, as they were now of a completely dark color, adding the fact that her hair grew considerably to the point of reaching down to her feet.
"Is she still alive?" Questioned Ophis with slight surprise at the sight of the woman, who was standing on the rubble with her arms crossed as she gave them a somewhat creepy smile.
"Step away and focus on keeping the breach stable." Issei pulled away from Ophis' embrace, watching Trihexa with great seriousness. "I'll take care of her."
"Be careful. I have a bad feeling about this." Great Red stated earnestly as he walked away along with Ophis, receiving a thumbs up from Issei.
All three knew something very strange was going on. The change in Trihexa's appearance confirmed it, and the fact that they couldn't sense each other's aura and power because of where they were only made the mystery even more unbearable.
"Little rats..." Trihexa stated loudly, watching as the two Dragon Gods cautiously walked away. "You can walk away all you want, but sooner or later I will exterminate you." She culminated, then turned her gaze back to Issei.
At that moment, the smile reappeared on the woman's face as she saw how Issei was looking at her with a mixture of confusion and care. That fact caused her to extend her arms to pose in front of her enemy as if she were a model.
"Do you like how my true form looks?" The woman asked, widening her smile even more as she watched Issei rub her cheek with slightly widened eyes.
"That's your true form? I thought that giant dragon was..." Issei voiced his doubts, getting a chuckle from the woman.
"It's normal for you to be so confused. Even I was when I found out in this very place that this is actually my true form." Clarified the dragoness as she closed her eyes calmly, finally stopping posing. "As you know, I was locked up in this place for a thousand years, so I had plenty of time to think about this. I finally came to the conclusion that this is what a Reincarnated Dragon should look like." The final words made her eyes widen, seeing how Issei still looked even more confused than before.
"Does that mean you're a Reincarnated Dragon? But I thought becoming a dragon was..."
"Yes, it's impossible." Issei's eyes widened in shock as he felt the icy voice breathe on his neck, indicating that Trihexa had stepped behind him unnoticed. "But it's not impossible if you were originally supposed to be a dragon."
Issei took a large leap and separated himself considerably from the woman at the same time as his dark armor completely surrounded him, unable to help but continue rather alarmed at what had happened recently.
"How did you...?!"
"My true form doesn't just give me a different appearance." Issei's face shifted to his back instantly, watching in complete bewilderment as the woman had moved behind once again without him noticing. "I'm not sure how much power it means to use this form..." Trihexa floated away as she thought hard, until she finally stopped.
The look she focused on Issei made his skin crawl.
"But I could assure you that I'm at least twice as strong as my dragon form."
"Wha...?!" Issei was barely able to say a word at that discovery. "There's no way anyone could be that powerful!" The young man was quick to react and the first thing he did was try to disprove the Goddess' words, causing her smile to widen even more.
"Do you want to check?" She asked with a rather dangerous tone as she materialized a magical sword, causing Issei to immediately tense up as he unsheathed his katana. "Maybe I should start with a little warm up first?" She thought aloud as she raised her weapon into the air, causing it to be surrounded by a much purer silver energy than previously seen.
Issei just frowned and moved into position, waiting for any kind of attack. The Goddess' smile changed to a serious look after seeing this, and her hand soon descended at a great speed, creating a powerful magical blast that went straight towards Issei in a matter of a second.
Issei gritted his teeth hard as he struck the attack with his katana, causing it to deflect to the side. His eyes widened as a huge explosion appeared in the distance, being that the attack didn't seem to be of a higher level.
But the curious thing was to see that Trihexa seemed even more surprised than Issei to see such an event unfold.
"Didn't your katana break upon contact with my attack?" Thought the Goddess with an expression of genuine astonishment, then observing the weapon carefully. "Definitely your katana is very special." Issei watched her carefully after hearing those words.
Trihexa's astonished look changed to a much harsher one as she began to wave her sword at a great speed, creating a myriad of magical waves that were countered by Issei's katana non-stop, generating a huge amount of explosions throughout the area that even surprised Ophis and Great Red, who were quite far away.
The extensive wave of magical attacks finally seemed to end when silence reigned in the place, being spoiled by the singular noise produced by the large amount of smoke that settled in much of the place.
Trihexa dematerialized her sword and waited with a smile, thinking that those attacks had been more than enough to finish Issei off. That was exactly why disbelief soon struck her face as she watched Issei's figure slowly reveal itself through all the smoke, and the first thing that could be seen was the gleam of the metal of his katana along with his steady gaze, letting it be seen that he had suffered no damage whatsoever.
"Very interesting..." Trihexa had no trouble letting her astonishment show as she watched Issei's katana closely. "But..." The woman refocused the gaze on her opponent's serious face, causing the smile to return on her. "The entertainment has only just begun."
Issei's eyes widened as he used his katana to receive a strong attack from the sword of the Goddess, who had appeared in front of him, and he barely had enough reaction time to notice it. Issei's surprise was instantly reflected when his katana was thrust against his chest, proving that the force used on him was too great to be able to fight against it. And so it proved, as Trihexa made another swift movement with her weapon, drawing sparks as they collided and sending Issei flying off at an unheard of speed.
Trihexa did not take long to follow him, and thanks to that is that different blurs began to be seen colliding and causing a lot of tremors along the entire dimension, shaking the very debris that were floating, and even destroying several when they collided against them.
Trihexa gritted her teeth a bit on the last move, causing a great tremor to arise as their weapons collided for the last time. Issei was sent away, though he was able to compose himself quickly and looked towards the Goddess' position instantly, and his incredulous expression was not long in coming when he saw that there was a large sphere of magic in her hands.
"DRAGON SHOT."
Issei blinked in shock as the small sphere transformed into a gigantic stream of monstrous energy heading towards him at great speed. Luckily for him, he was a great distance away when she threw the attack, so he had just enough time to fly to the side. His eyes widened even more as he watched the attack disappear into nothingness itself, only to be followed by a gigantic explosion.
"What's going on over there?" Ophis wondered with much concern, watching as the large silver explosion slowly faded away.
"All that's left for us to do is trust Issei. Let us do our job." Great Red clarified, and Ophis was somewhat reluctant at his words.
"But..." The Dragon Goddess commented, bringing a hand to her chest.
Issei continued to watch the attack fade away, until he felt someone land on his back.
"Hey..." Issei slowly turned his gaze, watching as Trihexa was bumping backs with him. "It's not a good idea to take your eyes off your enemy. Especially if it's a fight that decides whether you live or die." She concluded, crossing the arms with her typical smile.
Issei didn't say a word, all he did was stand completely still as he looked at her out of the corner of his eye. Trihexa also stayed in exactly the same position, and soon after some large anomalies began to be felt around both combatants due to the great power their bodies were expelling.
After several seconds, Trihexa made the first move when she landed a downward punch that Issei was able to block just in time when he crossed his arms in X. Anyway, that didn't stop him from gritting his teeth as he felt the force so superior, so he was sent downward at a great speed.
Issei recomposed himself with a somersault, causing a great gust of wind to shoot everywhere. The protagonist was quick to raise his gaze, causing his frown to deepen as he saw that Trihexa had disappeared from her previous position. He instantly half-turned around, unable to help but widen his eyes slightly as he watched the dragoness stand several meters away while carrying a small silver sphere in one of her hands.
"ZENMETSU."
Issei's eyes blinked in complete shock as he saw how the small sphere was shot straight at him. Though what really impressed him was the fact that it was causing a slight distortion around it, indicating that this attack was fucking powerful despite being so small.
Issei raised his katana and countered the small sphere barely, and it wasn't long before he was swept away by the sweeping power that was bearing down on him. After advancing for several meters, Issei finally slammed into a large rubble, causing it to crack in two from the enormous pressure being exerted by the woman's attack.
"RRRGHHHHHHH!" Issei couldn't help but grunt, and his eyes squeezed tightly shut as he felt himself slowly losing strength.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Issei's yell was followed by a large explosion that dyed the entire area a very deep silver color.
"Looks like the fun is over..." Trihexa thought with a slightly deeper smile than usual, holding a completely pleased expression on her face. "That's a pity." The dragoness added as she raised her hand. "I still wanted to have a little more fun with him." She concluded, waving her hand very vigorously, getting the large silver glow and all the dust to dissipate in a matter of a second.
The woman's smile grew as she saw the wasteland completely desolate, indicating that Issei should have been absorbed by the explosion.
"BLOODY TWILIGHT: THOUSAND LIGHTNING BOLTS!"
Trihexa's smile wavered momentarily as she watched a large number of cutting magic blasts directed towards her position at extreme speed. But as mentioned, she was back to her usual posture in an instant.
"Do you really think such insignificant attacks will be able to hurt my body?" The woman asked herself quite confidently, as she knew quite well the current difference between the two of them.
Still, that confidence went straight down the drain when the first blast pinked her cheek, causing her eyes to widen in utter disbelief as she felt a deep gash accentuate on her face. The dragoness' teeth instantly clenched and she made sure to dodge all the other slashing blasts with superb speed, but as she ceded absolute concentration to those attacks, she forgot about the main problem.
Once she dodged all the magical attacks, the woman received a strong punch on her cheek that caught her completely off guard.
"SEPULTURE OF ICE!"
The dragoness shot out at a great speed as she was sucked into a large, extremely violent and powerful magical whirlwind.
Issei moved at tremendous speed to get behind her, but the woman disappeared just as the great magical explosion shook the entire void. Issei's attack had to transform into a defense as he flew backwards to dodge a kick from the Goddess. That defense turned into a counterattack as he tried to punch her repeatedly, but his teeth could do nothing but clench in helplessness as he watched the woman dodge each of his punches at a speed he couldn't even keep up with. Finally, his counterattack failed resoundingly when he received a strong elbow that shattered his helmet and dug deep into his jaw, only to be followed by an extremely powerful low kick that sent him several meters backwards.
Issei recomposed himself through a somersault to then reassert his position, watching the Goddess carefully as the gaping hole the armor had in his chest quickly regenerated, a product of the previously received kick.
"I must admit, I got overconfident." The Goddess stated truthfully as she closed her eyes for a second. "Your level is very low compared to mine, but you possess some rather curious abilities."
"You're not the only one who thinks that way." Issei clarified as he wiped the blood emerging from his lips, catching the dragoness' momentary interest. "What the heck is this 'Zenmetsu' thing?" He inquired rather curiously, drawing a small smile from Trihexa.
"It's a skill I honed a long time ago, though I never saw fit to use it. In fact, right now I don't think I have that need either." The woman's face became quite serious for the first time in a while, causing Issei to become serious as well. "But you said so yourself earlier." The woman's eyes narrowed mischievously.
"I completely agree with speeding up the action from this point on."
That sentence made Issei look at her with some confusion, but he was quick to downplay it. It was not the right time to have chats with the enemy, and he knew that very well.
Issei appeared in front of her in a mere blink of an eye and tried to land a heavy blow, but Trihexa disappeared just then and the protagonist's surprise was more than palpable when he felt someone kick him hard in his legs from behind his back, causing him to lose his posture. He didn't even have time to get himself together, as a hand grabbed him with great force by the neck to then deliver a strong punch on his back that sent him away.
Issei managed to compose himself just in time to see Trihexa appear in front of him, so he tried to attack her. Issei's eyes widened slightly as the woman's face moved at an imperceptible speed to dodge the blow, then delivered a strong punch to his abdomen that sent him flying again. But this time, Trihexa didn't even let him breathe, as she immediately appeared above him to give him a strong elbow in the chest, drastically changing the direction of his flight. She didn't stop there, as she appeared by a flicker below Issei to give him a strong knee to the middle of his back that made him spit out a large amount of blood.
Issei was finally able to compose himself from the blow, and immediately tried to counter all the damage as he saw that the dragoness had already appeared in front of him, but again he was dodged like nothing. But even so, Issei kept trying numerous times, in what could be witnessed as both figures moved at a great speed in a part of the battlefield, but at all times Trihexa's clear superiority could be seen, as she disappeared just before Issei could hit her.
After several attempts, Trihexa finally seemed to get bored of the absurd chase, so in the next confrontation she simply extended her elbow backwards to deliver a hard punch to Issei's face that shattered his helmet and stopped him in his tracks. She didn't stop there, as she suddenly appeared behind the brown-haired man to grab him by the neck and forcefully throw him down by a blow to his back. Unfortunately for him, she didn't stop there and immediately chased after him, appearing underneath him to deliver a strong kick that sent him flying in the opposite direction. But it was not just one sequence, as the scene was repeated a great number of times with different knees, kicks and all kinds of blows while Issei's armor was gradually destroyed as it bounced everywhere as if it were a pingpong ball.
Finally, Issei was able to pull himself together from the last knee as he somersaulted over himself. His labored breathing and notoriously injured body was not long in coming as he watched the dragoness in some disbelief as she had left his armor a pittance through a single uncontrollable flurry of attacks.
Trihexa paused a few feet away to materialize her magic sword, only to have a rather unique smile emerge from her face.
"ZENMETSU."
Issei's eyes widened in complete shock as he watched a huge slashing magical blast head in his direction at a great speed, so all he could do was place his katana in the middle as the only barrier.
A huge silver flash appeared all over the place, and when Issei was finally able to open his eyes again, his expression twisted into one of complete disbelief as he saw how the dimension seemed to have some sort of cut that had no end.
"Amazing." Issei turned his attention back to Trihexa, who wore a slightly surprised expression. "I was sure that attack would cut you in half, but that weapon saved your skin..." She concluded, then returned to her usual smile. "Anyway, I think it was pretty clear to you by now how much of a difference there is between us."
"That attack..." Issei watched as the distortion slowly disappeared. "I hate to admit it, but she's a lot stronger than me." Issei turned his gaze back to the woman, gritting his teeth. "That form drains me of a great deal of magic, but I think it's the only option right now." Issei clenched his fists tightly under the watchful gaze of Trihexa, who watched as a powerful dark aura surrounded her adversary.
"He'll finally use his dragon form again. I thought he would no longer be able to do so because that magical attack had used up much of his reserves." The Dragon Goddess thought, remembering how Issei's attack had caused the planet to collapse. "That means it's more resilient than it looks." She concluded, sketching a faint smile at the end.
"I guess there'll be one last fun moment before I finish him off."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Issei's fists clenched even tighter, and his powerful burst of energy shot everywhere, causing Trihexa's smile to falter as she felt a bit suffocated.
The figure of the large dark dragon didn't take long to materialize as it immediately flew towards Trihexa, who couldn't help but grit her teeth as she noticed the sudden incredible increase of speed from her opponent.
"It's much faster than I expected!" She exclaimed in her thoughts, letting it be seen that she had been taken completely by surprise when the dragon gave her a strong blow with its tail that sent her flying.
It didn't take Trihexa more than a second to recompose herself in midair watching in some amazement as the towering dragon was creating a sphere in its snout that kept growing at a great speed. The dragon leaned her hand forward to try to counter the attack with one of her own.
But it was too late...
"DRAGON SHOT!"
Trihexa's teeth clenched tightly as she saw how the huge mass of pure, highly destructive energy was already practically in front of her nose in just an instant.
Trihexa's hand slammed with great force against the attack, stopping it in its tracks. Even so, her teeth clenched even tighter and her eyes widened to their widest as she placed her other hand so that she could hold back the attack.
What was at first a small grunt quickly turned into a scream as Trihexa began to use much more force, watching as Issei still continued to emanate magic from his mouth.
"THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" Trihexa screamed at the top of her lungs as her hands glowed a silvery color, generating a huge contained explosion on the spot that reverberated throughout the dimension.
The huge dark dragon soon dematerialized for Issei to appear again, who couldn't help but place his hands on his knees as he noticed how fatigue was starting to hit him.
"This is bad, she was able to counter the attack like it was nothing..." Issei thought with a clearly overwhelmed expression.
Meanwhile, Trihexa was closing and opening her bruised hands, paying zero attention to Issei.
"That attack..." Thought the woman, noticing that her hands and part of her arms had been hurt quite badly. "To be honest, I never thought someone could ever hurt me that badly in my true form." She concluded, focusing her gaze on Issei.
Seeing the protagonist continue to stare at her with the same expression as always caused a vein to mark on her temple.
"This isn't funny anymore!" She roared in anger as she appeared in front of Issei, delivering a hard knee to him that made him vomit a large amount of blood.
Issei couldn't even compose himself as the dragoness held him tightly by the neck and then hit with a blast of magic that made him scream in pain.
Trihexa just held her position, patiently watching as the smokescreen slowly disappeared, and what was revealed made a faint smile appear on her face.
There was Issei, floating in the void with a huge amount of wounds, on the verge of unconsciousness and with his clothes in tatters.
Still, that satisfied expression didn't last long on her face, as she watched in utter amazement as an aura surrounded the protagonist.
"Regeneration?" thought the woman as she watched Issei's body heal in mere seconds, causing the young man to pull himself together almost instantly.
But, even if his body was fine, certainly his tiredness had no cure.
"Shit..." Issei thought as he breathed in uncontrollable agitation. "The healing took a significant portion of my remaining reserves." Issei looked at the woman for a short second, then turned his gaze back to his newly summoned katana. "I have no choice but to gamble on this last attack."
"Another Dragon Shot?" Thought the dragoness with some uncertainty, watching as Issei raised her hand to charge a powerful sphere that was growing at a great speed. "Do you really think that can stop me when your previous Dragon Shot was at least twice as strong as the one you're creating now?" She inquired rather graciously, but Issei simply remained silent.
"Look at that!" Ophis exclaimed as she pointed towards a particular position, and Great Red couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Apparently they got closer than we thought." The Dragon God declared as he watched a notoriously large source of power being created not too far from their position.
"Do you think we should move away?" Ophis consulted him carefully, knowing that the main thing right now was to keep the gap stable.
"Wait..." Was all Great Red said, noticing something very strange. "At this distance we should be able to see Issei's dragon form..." He concluded with a slight gritting of teeth, and Ophis took the hint immediately.
"Why isn't Issei using his full power?" Ophis posed the more important question, earning a scowl from Great Red.
"Because he can't use it." Was her dry reply, bringing Ophis' concern back to her as she brought a hand to her chest.
Ever since all of this had started, Ophis had always felt that feeling on her chest whenever Issei was spoken of.
She was sure it was worry, but it wasn't normal.
The feeling was really unpleasant and overwhelming.
She hated feeling like this, so she just hoped this would end as quickly as possible.
"What's the matter, don't you want to talk anymore?" Trihexa asked him again, her smile faltering a little when she didn't get an answer.
"Is that your way of saying goodbye to your life?" Again, silence.
"Hey, answer me." As expected, silence.
"Hey...!"
"..."
Trihexa's teeth clenched and her patience was stilled by the desire to finish off the fellow right in front of her.
"Don't mock me, you petty scum!" The dragoness exclaimed in clear rage as she delivered a large kick to his chest, shattering much of his armor and causing Issei to spit out a large amount of blood.
The protagonist pulled himself together as best he could and gave her a bloody smile, causing the dragoness to glare at him.
"I'm not teasing, madwoman." The provocation was more than obvious, but Trihexa was not a woman who was known for not letting herself be provoked.
"How dare you...?!" The dragoness appeared right in front to grab him by the throat, causing him to spit blood. "Do you want to say a few last words, you fucking disgusting insect?"
At that moment, a smile appeared on Issei's face, something that disoriented her considerably.
"You completely fell for it!" Issei raised his hand that held the katana and brought it close to the large orb of magic above their heads.
"TRANSFER!"
Trihexa's eyes flickered in complete disbelief as the katana imbued with monstrous power headed straight for his neck, generating a huge cutting blast that nearly shattered reality in two, so it wasn't long before a great roar could be heard.
Issei froze completely as he felt a sphere of energy land on his back.
"That was a good attack." Trihexa accepted that fact as she rubbed her neck with her free hand, as she had a thin cut in that area.
Finally, the small sphere enlarged considerably and the psychopathic grin soon emerged from her face.
"But it wasn't fast enough."
Just before she could kill Issei, a heavy blow landed on her cheek that took her by complete surprise, so it didn't take long for her to fly away as her Dragon Shot was lost in nothingness itself, until her figure was embedded in one of the few pieces of debris that were still floating adrift.
"Are you okay?" Great Red appeared at his side, causing Issei to look at him with much surprise.
"Great Red? Aren't they supposed to focus on the breach?" Issei questioned, getting Great Red to widen his gaze.
"There's no use focusing on the breach if you die." Clarified the dragon with a frown.
"But...!" Before Issei could protest, they both watched as the rubble where Trihexa had fallen exploded into a thousand pieces.
The Dragon Goddess soon emerged from the dust with a look covered in madness and anger.
"You...!" Was all she managed to say, as another event caught her attention.
"DRAGON SHOT!"
Trihexa turned her gaze just in time to see a great mass of violet energy hit her squarely, generating a huge explosion.
"Ophis!" Issei shouted, watching as the dragoness was several meters away.
The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a Trihexa who was covering with her arms in X. Her annoyed face was the first thing to be noticed, but she was soon back to her usual smile.
"You guys are really annoying, like a plague..." The woman commented as she focused her gaze on Issei and Great Red, causing her smile to widen in a sickly way. "That's why I must exterminate everyone."
Great Red's eyes widened as Trihexa appeared right in front of him, and the first reaction he had was to grab Issei's arm and throw him away to the young man's surprise.
Ophis caught him with her arms, and they both watched as Trihexa started to give a big beating to Great Red who couldn't do anything to defend himself.
"Why did you come?!" shouted Issei with his teeth and fists clenched, unable to hide the trembling of his body at the great helplessness he felt. "They were only supposed to take care of the breach!"
"But if we did that, you would have died!" Ophis replied, only to be surprised when she noticed how Issei looked at her.
It was the first time he had ever directed an expression at her that wasn't friendly.
"I would have taken care of some...!" Issei couldn't finish speaking as he vomited a large amount of blood, the product of Trihexa who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't think I forgot what you called me." Clarified the dragoness with a slight smile, causing Issei to spit up even more blood as she felt the woman's fist twist in his abdomen as it had gone all the way through his armor.
"Ophis, get out of there!"" The Dragon Goddess looked at Great Red, who was floating in a drift as he grabbed one of her shoulders, sporting a large amount of bloody wounds from the beating he received.
Ophis turned her gaze to Trihexa, and her body froze completely as she saw how the woman's piercing, death-covered eyes had focused on her own. Finally, a faint smile appeared on Trihexa's face as she watched the Dragon Goddess begin to tremble in fear, unable to move.
"There should still be a few minutes left before we can get out of here. I'll take enough time to amuse myself with you until then." Trihexa turned her gaze to Issei, causing her smile to fade. "But as for you..." The woman's eyebrows contracted noticeably.
"You must pay right now for being an insolent vermin."
After saying those words, Trihexa grabbed him by the neck with great force, causing his helmet to shatter almost instantly. Issei coughed up a large amount of blood and tried to cut it with his katana, but the dragoness parried the attack with her free hand. The grip on her neck became even tighter, so it wasn't long before he lost the remaining strength he still had left. That caused a smile to emerge on Trihexa's face.
"It's about time to end this." She culminated with a sinister look as she tossed Issei upwards.
Trihexa appeared right in front of him, delivering a heavy blow to his armor right in the sector of his central gem, and that fact caused his armor to end up being completely destroyed.
"I can sense a rather unique power coming from this thing." Said the Dragon Goddess as she analyzed the gem closely, then fixed her gaze on a drifting Issei. "Funny you didn't use it in our battle." She said with slight curiosity as she dematerialized the object.
Issei could barely pull himself together, and when he was finally able to, all he felt was pain. That was because Trihexa had grabbed him by the neck again.
"Shit, is this supposed to be happening?" Great Red thought through gritted teeth, then averted his gaze to Ophis, who was completely paralyzed.
"Does that mean you can't use it?" Trihexa asked the last question, then bowed her shoulders with a smile. "I don't know why I'm asking you, if you can't even answer me." Her words were reinforced as her hand clung even tighter to Issei's neck, causing him to spit blood.
"Issei..." Ophis finally seemed to snap out of her transe, and Trihexa watched her closely.
At that moment, a somewhat macabre smile appeared on the Goddess' face.
"I thought you had become a completely unfeeling woman, but you still care about someone..." Trihexa bent one of her fingers towards Issei's bare chest, causing a small sphere to appear.
"I wonder what would happen if that person important to you dies in front of your eyes?" Ophis' eyes widened in horror after hearing those words.
"Would you be able to feel the pain I'm feeling?" Ophis brought her hand back to her chest under Trihexa's watchful gaze.
"No..." Was all she replied, causing Trihexa's smile to widen.
"I see, then..." Trihexa turned her gaze to Issei, causing the small sphere on her finger to spin out of control.
"Watch him die."
Ophis' eyes widened beyond measure and all she could do was scream in great desperation.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
