"As you wish.~" Regalzeva said with a curvy mocking tone. The two entered the their battle stances. Issei had decided that he would fight only with power with his boosted gear abilities. He wouldn't use his multiversal level martial art skills in the armor, as it would we hard for him to move swiftly in his armor. The two the pushed the ground backwards and took flight. They reduced their distances. When the distance between them was a few centimeters, the started exchanging blows with each other. Regalzeva wasn't impressed with his fighting skills. He heard a lot about Issei. How he defeated numerous strong enemies but for him and with his skills, it was just a child's play.
"Well, I've heard about you a lot. But those compliments don't justify your abilities though. I am sure disappointed Red Dragon." Regalzeva commented. Issei, from inside the armor, replied while smiling.
"Well, I ain't doing this for your amusement or to impress you. But if you really want a challenge, then have this." His arms changed into a bigger gauntlets and his armor turned into a more bulkier version than before. "Promotion to ROOK!" He yelled as he appeared under Regalzeva and hit him with a jab to his chest. Regalzeva gritted his teeth while drops of blood came out of the sides of his mouth.
"What power?!" Regalzeva said to himself in his mind while struggling to regain his internal balance after the impact. Issei then moved back as he did not want to get him by him. Regalzeva then stood straight and exhaled deeply once. He then said.
"Well, you may not have any skills but certainly, you have the power. I am impressed." Issei made a bored face inside the armor as he thought.
"Yeah, keep thinking that." He then charged at Regalzeva as his the extra weight of his armor got refuced and the normal armor size also reduced. A few jets opened from his back opened and started propulsing. His armor turned into a very slim one.
"Promotion to KNIGHT!" He yelled. He then used his wings and flapped them backwards once to push himself forward and gain more acceleration. He started moving so fast that Regalzeva could neither tell the exact position of Issei nor could see him. Issei then change back to his normal size as he punched Regalzeva in the face and kept moving forward like that. He then started boosting.
["BOOST, BOOST, BOOST, BOOST, BOOST..."]
It kept echoing like that until the final boost was said. Regalzeva grabbed Issei's arm and tossed him in the air behind him. He then turned back, facing Issei. He saw a small sphere in his left palm. Issei pulled his arm back and yelled.
"DRAGON SHOTS!" He the punched the sphere, which flew towards Regalzeva at a very high speed. Regalzeva crossed his arms to block the attack. The sphere collided bith Regalzeva and made a huge explosion. Issei kept forming and shooting multiple dragon shots , one by one, out from both his hands. They all collided with Regalzeva and created multiple explosions, resulting in a single but very massive explosion. Issei then stopped firing the shots as he descended down to the ground. Few seconds later, the smoke cleared. Regalzeva stood at the same spot, loking down as he dusted off his body with his arms. He stood there intact. He then said.
"You have nice moves, really. But you need to do more than just that. Or is that all you have got." Regalzeva then looked up as heard saw something surprising.
"Promotion to BISHOP!" Issei yelled as a cannon formed over his right arm, attached to the armor. Regalzeva realized that Issei was not trying to damage him with those small attacks attacks. He was just trying create more trouble for Regalzeva, so that he could stall enough time to prepare for his next attack. Issei then started collecting the demonic energy, that accumulated at front of the muzzle of the cannon. The aura grew denser. Regalzeva could feel that this attack will be a serious one. The aura formed a large sphere of demonic energy, at the end of the muzzle. Regalzeva flew towards Issei, in an attempt to stop him. The sphere the grew a bit larger and then stopped growing. Before Regalzeva could reach Issei, Issei yelled.
"DRAGON BLASTER! HANDCANNON!" He the released huge yellow beam out the muzzle of his cannon. The beam gushed towards Regalzeva and collided with him. Regalzeva got swept away along with the flow of the beam. His back the met with a large building along with the beam. The beam created a very very very massive mushroom shaped explosion. The another mushroom shaped explosion took place, above the first one.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
It was the biggest explosion of the day. When the smoke cleared, Regalzeva was suspended, mid-air with blood leaking from the enterity of his body. He couldn't move for a while because of the huge impact and the huge amount of energy transfer on him. Beneath him, was a massive crater. It was the result of his explosion. Issei did not waste anymore time and took the free chance of beating Regalzeva up. He flew towards Regalzeva as fast as he could. As soon as he reached Regalzeva, he quickly started raining punches and kicks on the injured Regalzeva, breaking every single bone in his body. Regalzeva was getting overwhelmed by Issei. Never in his life could someone damage him this much as Issei did. Regalzeva then started the internal regeneration of his right arm as he prepared to punch Issei as soon as his right arm would recover. Issei, after noticing so, tried to create distance between them but, he was too late.
"HYAAAH!" Regalzeva yelled as he landed his fist in Issei's chest area, sending him flying backward. Issei then landed on his feet but not for long. His left leg bent down and his left knee was on the ground. The other leg also bent but the foot was still on the ground. He plsced his right arm on his chest and other on the ground. He then vomited blood out his mounth which fell on the ground.
"That was a hard one. I wish I was in the Rook form. At least I could stand if Idid so." He thought. He then stood back on his feet after ragaining his stability. He saw Regalzeva, producing a purple coloure aura.
He came to a conclusion on the spot.
"So this is his Evie aura. He seems quite strong now." He thought. Regalzeva then spoke up as steam was getting produced from his body, as a sign of healing.
"Well done youngster, though Sirzechs is way older than you are, it seems like you are stronger than he is. Well this is getting exciting for me. I have given the strongest fighter title to Sirzechs. I see that there maybe a change in it and you may become the holder of that title. But can you?" Issei smirked and replied.
"Well thank you. But you just wait, I will prove that I ain't just any fighter. I am a warrior." Regalzeva, having finished his healing, cracked some of his bones and replied to Issei's words.
"We'll see that, Warrior." Being said that, Regalzeva charged at Issei and began to hit him, harder than before as alIssei kept blocking his attacks with is arms crossed. The continuous barrage of attacks kept breaking Issei's armor. Regalzeva then punched him even harder than before, which pushed him back more. The armor on his hands had broken in some places and blid could be seen dropping from his arms. As he tried to bring up his arms, he grunted in pain as he could do so. His arms remained in the normal position, but paralyzed at the either sides of his torso. He could not move or feel hos arms, such was the strength of Regalzeva. He knew that he needed the time to heal. So, he decided to attack and defend with his legs only. Regalzeva again charged at him with his immense speed. He still was not using his powers, as he did not see a readon to use his powers. He kept attacking with his fists and feet and Issei kept defending with his feet. He then evaded one of his punches and did and backflip kick under Regalzeva's lower jaw, which concussed him a little. Taking advantage of the situation, Issei did a jump back kick to Regalzeva's face. Which pushed him back and was almost going to fall on his back. But at the end, he maintainedhis balance and stood back steadily. By now, Issei had his arms back and made a boxer stance. Regalzeva then smirked and said.
"Well, well, well. Perhaps I was wrong about you. A person with that kind of move can not be called non skilled. My mistake." Issei replied to his compliment sarcastically.
"So great of you to to notice that." The 2 stood still on their positions for a while. They then lavitated from the ground and stopped at a very high above the ground level. It was quite certain that the fight would take place in the sky now. It was time for some real action. The 2 then clashed with each other. They kept exchanging blows with each other. But this time, they both took the hits on them without evading any attack. They focused on attack more than defense now as both had extraordinary speed, enough to dodge all the attacks. But they took their chances and faced every single attack. Regalzeva protected himself with his own body strength, while Issei maxed out his defense by promoting himself to queen, enabling him to use knight's speed and rook's strength and defense. They kept tanking themselves. They move from place to place at high speed. Issei was putting everything he had left in him. He had to put everything that he had before goinf into his final form. He still had some fight left in him before taking his final transformation. They other 4 below them did not have any words to describe what they were seeing. This was the best fight, they had seen in their entire life time. They did expect Issei to pose some threat to Regalzeva, but did not expect to go toe to toe with him. He had surpassed all the devils in strength, past and present. Issei had suppressed all his emotions, in order to defeat Regalzeva. Negative emotions would only increase his strength. Issei increased the distance between them again and again began to shoot more Dragon shots at Regalzeva. Regalzeva evaded all the Dragon shots and moved towards Issei. Issei turned around and started to fly away from Regalzeva. Seeing so, Regalzeva laughed and said.
"Hahaha! Now retreating huh?" He went behind him and chased him. Issei had less than 28 minutes now. He didn't realize that more the 60 minutes of his armor time was already over. He now had to use his higher level powers to weaken him before he would fight him as a Saiyan. He needed time to power up for a Dragon Blast. Regalzeva almost caught up to Issei when he used his wing to push him back. Regalzeva could not understand what happened. Issei had gotten behind Regalzeva now. When he turned around, he saw 2 cannons above his shoulders. In the front of the either muzzles, two large spheres had formed. Regalzeva, at first thought that this was the same thing as before but when the spheres grew larger, he felt more power than before. He the finally used one of his abilities. He formed one electrical shield with his elektrokinesis ability. He surrounded himself with it. Issei's right eye glew up a little. It showed him Regalzeva's ability and he read it in his mind.
"Electrokinesis huh? Vegeta told me that this might be hard for me to break. Then I have gotta put everything in this one attack then." Issei had accumulated a lot of his available energy. He a produced radiating aura which was mind boggling for everyone in the Underworld. When Ussei had powered up enogh, he finally yelled.
"DRAGON BLASTER!!!!!"
The Boosted Gear also announced.
["CHANGE INFINITY FANG BLASTER!"]
A large beam got fired from the 2 muzzles. Regalzeva was soon hit by the beam. The shield was protecting him until he saw something astonishing. His shield started to break. Never in his life his shield had faced a single a scratched. The size of the crack increased and finally, the shield broke and shattered. Thr blazing beam of golden, red and black hue hit him. He became the victim of the attack as a massive explosion occured in the sky. He fell to the ground. Issei came down descended down on the ground as the helmet faded away. He could be seen panting heavily. His face was covered with sweat. He then looked at the timer and he saw that 18 munutes were only left now. He saw Regalzeva getting back up. His attack definitely had an effect on him. But he expected to go unconscious after that.
He had to prepare for the Longinus Smasher and another attack themat he had created and developed on his own. Regalzeva place his hands on either of his shoulders and cracked his neck once by once on the either sides. After doing that he said.
"Congrats! You are the first one to break my Elektrokinetic shield and that Dragon Blaster of your's. Damn did it hit hard. I reakky felt that one. And before that. You caught me off guard. You sure are cunning. But this battle's far from over."After he finshed, he took his fighting stance again. Issei repeated him by taking his fighting stance. The 2 charged towards each other while yelling.
"HAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
