"Fifty percent of his maximum? Is he crazy? Even If I were to use all my power here, and even if I drain and hurt myself, my full power is just 80% of half his maximum. I won't stand a chance."

Issei though as he had a frightened expression on his face. Even though Regalzeva hand an upper hand now, he frowned for a whille and thought.

"This is a massive gamble. I won't be able to sense his power now that I am using 50% of my maximum. It is only available under and at 1%, and at 100% of my overall power. Meh, I don't need energy sensing anymore. This fight is going end soon."

His frown turned back to a smirked as he shifted his view from the ground to up, looking straight at Issei. Issei then carefully took a step forward, followed by another. Issei then instantly went behind Regalzeva and stood back a few meters. Regalzeva then drew his right hand beside his waist, while his fingers were spread apart. A small, purplish-black sphere, formed on his palm, covering it entirely. He then said as his back was towards Issei.

"You really are a good fighter. I gave you many chances to surrender and join me. I would have given you anything you wanted. But, you sticked to your thoughts and denied every single of them. But-"

He drew his left arm beside hus waist as the sphere on the right hand faded away and reformed on his left palm. He then turned his head sideways on the left side and his eyes pointed at Issei. He the continued.

"Now that there is no point in asking the same question over and over again. It will make the fight boring. I will push you to your limits and GROUND YOU INTO A PULP!"

He yelled as he dissappeared and instantly reappeared behind Issei and hit him with with his fist, sending him flying in the air. Issei then pressed his breaks and reverted to his Kaioken x2 state. Regalzeva appeared behind Issei and kicked him in the back which sent him flying forward, crashing the ground. Issei push the rocks that broke and fell on him due to the impact. He stood up and charged at Regalzeva and tried to land a forward punch. But in vain, Regalzeva disappeared and reappeared instantly beside Issei and hit him on the chin with an uppercut, sending him far above him. Issei the regained his stability and stopped in the sky. Issei then formed a transparent sphere in his right arm. He yelled before the sphere exploded in his hand.

"Smoke Bomb!"

A smoke screen got created and surrounded Issei completely, hiding himself from Regalzeva's sight. Regalzeva extended his right arm and shot more of his Evie Death Ray through his ring finger.

All of the Rays passed far away from Issei, but through the smoke screen. Issei was surprised. He knew that Regalzeva could people's energies. He has by far also done so. It raised as a doubt in his mind. Regalzeva then stopped firing his rays and sighed of his dumb act and said to himself.

"Why am I even doing this. Regalzeva you idiot. "

His 5th eye glew up again. Side by side, Issei's eye glew up too, reading 'Power Manipulation'. The next second, another statement popped up in his eye,'Readind Portal'. Suddenly, the smoking in front him move aside and went inside a portal. The portal then closed and disappeared. Regalzeva was right in front of him. Regalzeva grinned in front of him. And kicked him in the chest, breaking a few rib.

"Guh!"

Issei exclaimed. Regalzeva the grabbed the back of Issei's head and threw him to the ground at very high power. Issei crashed to the ground. Regalzeva then said to him sarcastically.

"What? Not enjoying the fight? Aw, don't be like that. There is no fun if both the sides don't enjoy the batlle. Or is it just that you are just too weak, Warrior?"

With Regalzeva adding some more mockery to the word 'Warrior', Issei had a bared teeth expression. The Kaioken x2 state, which had wore off, reappeared again. Issei then yelled.

"Kaioken Times Three!"

The red aura surrounding beacame fierecer than before and the aura beacame slightly larger. He then charged at Regalzeva. He was even faster than before now. Regalzeva then said.

"Ooo~. Nice speed, but not enough!"

He got just a bit above Issei and interlocked both his hands together. He then hit Issei on his back, sending him crashing down to the ground. Regalzeva then quickly came down to the ground and lifted Issei up by grabbing his shirt and tossed him a little above. He then kicked him in the gut, sending him flying backwards while he created a long line in the water. Issei then got a bit submerged. Regalzeva fired a purplish-black ray, an inch wider in diameter. Issei quickly flew above and moved aside. The ray had longly separated then water in him. Issei though only if he got hit by that thing, then he would have been done for. Regalzeva then appeared in front of Issei and kick him above above. Before Issei could even a bit. He gave elbow hit him in the back, and then appeared in front of him and started to punch him in the stomach. Simultaneous hits in the stomach at a fast rate made him feel the pain the he had never felt before. Regalzeva then stopped punching Issei. Issei placed both his his hand above his stomach while he was gejnting with his mouth open and blood flowing from the sides of his mouth. Regalzeva the turned back, grabbed Issei's shirt and did and over shoulder back throw, throwing him towards the water. Regalzeva, without wasting time, quickly made it above Issei and raised his right leg up. He then thrusted the leg down and hit him in his diaphragm region.

"Ghwaaah!"

Issei vomited big amount of blood through his mouth. Issei then made it inside the water. The was a huge splash of water came up. As soon as the blood fell on the water and mixed with it, Regalzeva dived in, goinf inside the water. As he went inside, he looked for Issei everywhere. Suddenly Issei came behind Regalzeva and threw a front punch that Regalzeva easily dodged. As Issei was bent forward a bit, Regalzeva came to his leftside and hit him in the chest with his right knee. Issei spat some blood and it got mixed with thr water within a few seconds. Regalzeva then got under Issei, grabbed his leg near the snkle joint and threw him forward. A line of water on the surface could be seen, show the path along which Issei was thrown, followed by another line that was created with fast anctions under the water. It was Regalzeva who charged at Issei under water and started landing heavy blows on him.Huge splashes of water were getting created on the surface. Issei got hit by so many heavy attacks that his body started feeling numb. Many oxygen bubles, release from Issei's mouth, made it to the surface due to the fatigue he was feeling after what he just experienced. Regalzeva then tossed him up as he made it out of the water and went high above. Regalzeva instantly came out of the water, charging at Issei, and landed a very powerful perpendicular punch to Issei's stomach. Issei had his mouth wide opened, showing the expression of immense pain. Regalzeva thrustingly brought his leg from his right side and gave a horizontal kick to Issei, sending him crashing on the ground. Regalzeva then dropped down on the the piece of land where Issei fell dow. Issei gained back some strength and strarted to walk way in the opposite direction, passing by a tree, Regalzeva then spoke up.

"Going? So soon? I have heard that you race is the most proud race in the enterity of multiverse. What happened to it. Well, your race maybe superior than ours but I am far superior than you are."

Saying so, he form a purplish-black rod{Technique name - Evie Line} in his right hand. He then grabbed the rod with both of his hands. He swung it horizontally as he brought it from the right right side and it started extending and bending. It then hit Issei's back as he got smacked on the tree. A small horizontal cut on his shirt of half a foot could be seen in the middle of his back. Regalzeva then wrapped the rod around Issei's waist and his throat and then started pulling him. Issei grabbed on to the tree with all his might. After seeing Issei resisting the pull, he mockingly and also boasting.

"C'mon, don't resist, come to the God."

Issei then placed his right hand a little lower n the tree and started applying his strength and pulling it up. In no time, he uprooted the tree from the ground and brought it down from above and hit Regalzeva on the head on the head with it. Issei then slided his hands down, just above where the roots were supposed to be, which was now destroyed. As soon as Regalzeva got up again, Issei bashed the tree on him violently him with the upper part of the tree, concussing him. Issei then threw the tree at Regalzeva. Regalzeva extended him arm and just pointed his index finger at the direction from which the tree was coming. As soon as the tree cylindrical, broken base of the the tree touched his finger, the tree was separated from the middle.

"Still not giving up huh?"

Regalzeva questioned. Issei then replied while panting.

"Yep. I will not give up. Even if you are a hundred times stronger than me. I know there is still hope and I am sure of it that I can definitely defeat you."

Regalzeva twitched his brow area in annoyance, but he doesn't have eyebrows. He then reverted his face back to normal and sighed and said.

"Ya know I am really getting annoyed of you motivational speeches even though you have no chance against me. Enemies talk with their fists, not talk crap."

Regalzeva then charged at high speed at Issei and gave him a headbutt to Issei's body, sending him far back. Issei's back slided against the water and he also got submerged and got out of the water a couple of times. He then stopped and flew above, creating large ripples on the surface of water. As he stopped in the air. He then both his hands beside his chest while he bared his teeth and pulled up the lower arm while clenching his fists tightly, making the muscle cuts of his arms and the entire body more properly superficial, and making them look harder. The Kaioken aura got more intense and fierecer than before and grew a little bit more in size. Issei then growled and the yelled at the top of his voice as he spoke out thenext sentence.

"Enough is enough! KAIOKEN TIMES FOUR!"

Issei then charged at Regalzeva at very high speed. The Kaioken 4 state gave Issei way more speed than before. Issei then could finally land a punch to Regalzeva's face, sending him flying back a little and making him hit the ground hard. The moment when Regalzeva stood back up, Issei came flying at him and hit him in the face with his knee, forcing him to take a few steps back. Regalzeva had a line of blood that came out from his forehead. Regalzeva then slowly closed all his eyes. Issei then charged at him and threw a horizontal kick. But it was caught by Regalzeva. He the opened sll his eyes slowly. He then closed all his finger, forming a fist and drew his hand back while he had tightly held Issei's leg. He then thrusted his hand at Issei's crotch. Issei got panicked. He quickly placed both his hands a few inches above to avoid getting hit at that spot. As Regalzeva's fist hit gis hands. Issei closed his left eye to express pain. Regalzeva had a wide smile of amusement due to the thing he just witnessed. Issei then kicked Regalzeva in the right side of his face with his left leg and then jumped back and stepped on the ground as soon as Regalzeva's hold was a little weak. He then looked at his hands, which were red and swelled up. He started blowing air on his hands to turn down the pain. Regalzeva had his right hand placed over the right side of his place. He then brought down the hand and laughed and said.

"Hahahaha! You sacrificed your hands and let me punch them in order to protect your ability to create a family? This us hilarious."

"This is a serious matter you braindead moron! I have many things to do with that part you idiot! This is not funny. I will turn you into a bloody carcass if you even touch me there."

Issei shouted at him in a serious tone as Regalzeva kept on laughing. Regalzeva then stopped laughing and smirked widely and said.

"Carcass huh? You need to defeat me first. Which you never will."

Issei then charged at him again snd troed to hit him. But Regalzeva disappeared from where he was standing. He then appeared behind Issei and gave him abd horizontal front kick that forced him back a few steps. Issei then decided to make a bit for distance between them. So he turned around tool flight in his Kaioken 4 state. He flied far away from Regalzeva as he stood idly, staring at Issei. He then took one step forward and bent down a bit. He the jumped snd disappeared from the spot. He appeared above Issei the next second and tried to kick him down. But before he could do so, Issei himself dropped down inside the water with a splash on the surface. As Regalzeva looked for him everywhere, Issei came out from behind with the same two whitish-blue sphere with electric streaks as he had both his hands spread apart. His then quickly brought both his hands together while the fingers wete spread apart and yelled.

"Final Crash!"

The same whitish-blue beam got fired at Regalzeva. But he instantly disappeared from there and appeared behind as he had his left hand drawn back. He then said.

"Same attack and technique doesn't work everytime. You have to be unique."

Regalzeva then thrusted his arm down and hit Issei with the back of his lower arm which threw him down on the down as he hit the ground twice while he was in motion and the scraped the ground and dug a large pile of dirt. He then got up with the support of his hands and stood back up. Issei then prepared to jump up. He then hopped up high and took flight. He then closed the gap between his two legs as he place both his right leg a few inches above the left one. Then a blue sphere started growing between the gap. Yes. It was a foot Kamehameha wave. He the used the Kamehameha wave to push him forward and gain some acceleration. He drew drew his right arm back as a he charged some power into it. As the gap between Issei and Regalzeva had reduced, and Issei got near him. Issei thrusted his arm forward while yelling.

"Photon Striker!"

A cyan colored, but transparent and massive beam wave was shot at Regalzeva, creating a big explosion as it hit him. The beam then ended after a while as it discontinued. It created a huge smoky cloud around Regalzeva. As the cloud faded away, Issei could see no sign of Regalzeva there. Regalzeva then flew up and stopped right behind and a liitle sbove him.

"That was WEAK! Saiyan."

He scorned. Regalzeva then proceeded to hit Issei on the back of his head and sent him crashing on the ground. Regalzeva then dropped down on the piece of land that Issei fell on there was quite a big hole in the ground with the rocks, that broke up while Issei hit the ground but their base was still joined with the ground, stood upright. But it was not very deep as Regalzeva could easily see Issei lying on the ground. Regalzeva's body then got surrounded by a flaming purplish-black aura{Technique name - Evie Avatar}. The aura the took shape like a hand and it extended towards Issei. The hand-like structure the connected with Issei body as he also got surrounded by the same purplish-black aura. Regalzeva then brought Issei near him. He then faced Issei against himself as he saw his irritated face. He then said.

"Feeling irritated huh? It is a waste to think this way now. You should have known that you could never come even close to defeating me."

Regalzeva then started thrusting hard punches on Issei's abdomen with his right arm. Issei did not scream, but it was quite visible on his face that he was is pure agony. Regalzeva then started thrusting punches with both his hand on Issei's abdomen with both his arms at a fast rate, agonizing him even more. Regalzeva then extended the aura that siphoned him and Issei. He then pulled the aura up high and pulled it down at full force and slammed Issei down on the ground very hardly. He then rescinded the aura and walked up to Issei and put his right leg on his head and said.

"How was your experience of roping just now? Good? Well, I shall grant you an even better experience now."

He then started stroking his feet on Issei's head while applying more and more pressure. Issei now started to scream in pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"That feels good, doesn't it?"

Regalzeva asked in a sadistic manner.

Scene Change

On seeing such a sight, everybody's blood started boiling. They could not bear the feeling of seeing someone the care about so much getting thrashed and tortured in such a violent and cruel manner. Azazel closed his eyelids tightly as tears started flowing from hus eyes down his face. He turned his face away and cried.

"This is just too much? No one is as strong as he is. He has said to me that I am like a second father to him. I have lived so long but Vali and he are the ones I care about the most. Yet, when he is in danger, I can do nothing but stand and watch."

He fell to his knees and bent down and started beating the ground. Vali then cried too.

"We can't just stand here like this. We have too save him."

Ddraig then smiled sarcastically and commented while tightly holding a rock that stood upright from the ground.

["Oh! I surely did not expect that from you."]

After hearing him, Vali burst in in anger and bellowed at Ddraig with rage.

"OF COURSE I DO! What do you think I am? An emotionless person? No, He has done so much for me. If I can't return the favor back then what kind of friendly rival I am. You call yourself his partner when you are the one who can stilled put sarcasm on the line when Issei is dying."

As soon as he finished. Ddraig burst out with anger as he punched the rock and broke it with the ledt side of his left hand and growled while he glared at Vali. His serpent-like slitted eyes pierced Vali like they were daggers.

[I WOULD LIE IF I SAY I DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ISSEI! Right now, I would love to shred down to atoms or Rip out his organs or Butcher his dead carcass into small pieces for hurting my partner! Don't tell me that I don't care about Issei. He is the first one to recognize as a person with emotions, not a weapon. And I would kill anyone to save him!]

All the others were afraid after the felt the amount of Pressure Ddraig released from his aura. Ddtaig then calmed dowm and stated in a calm tone.

["Even if that is tge case, I will not be able to save him. No one of us can. Vali's max battle power is like half a millon. Azazel's is 3 quarter of a million and Sirzechs's is a million. Regalzeva's current power level is 150 million.even If I were to use my maximum, it would be just 70 percent of his current power level. So, It would be a waste of effort."]

Sirzechs then released his aura and said.

"I don't care if due anymore, I am going in. I will save him, even If I am 150 times weaker than Regalzeva."

["Don't be reckless Sirzechs. It's not just about powe gap. It is about how Issei would feel if we itervene in that battle until he really needs help from us. Saiyans are very proud of themselves. Prouder than us Dragons. He would feel really bad if we go in right now. Trust me I too want to beat the fmshit out of him. But we can't do anything but trust Issei."]

Ddraig made Sirzechs understand. Sirzechs then reverted back to his base form and exhaled deeply. He the nodded and stepped back.

Scene Change

Regalzeva was almost about to crush Issei's head as he lept on screaming in pain continuously. Regalzeva then considered that this was enough as his aim was to take out the information about the Dragon balls first. Si, he could not kill him yet. He took that feet off his head and flied far avove in the sky. He then shouted.

"I can't just kill you yet. How about paralyizing you then."

He then formed at deep purplish-black sphere in his hand{Attack name - Devastating Impact} and charged down at Issei as he want to verify that the absolutely hit Issei with his attack. Issei then used his hands and formed a Kamehameha wave to push him up very fastly. He then reactivated his Kaioken 4 form and he gave Regalzeva an aerial uppercut with his left fist, making him lose his balance. Issei then wrapped his arms around his bidy from the back then flied upwards at high speed. He then took a u-turn amand flied down along with Regalzeva as the were upside down. He the Increase his speed even more as he he made it towards the ground. As they close enough to the ground to take the impact, Issei threw Regalzeva down towards the ground. As Regalzeva hit the ground. A massive cloud of dust got formed. As the cloud cleared, Regalzeva could be seen standing while he folded his arms under his chest. He then said.

"Did you really think that that would do any harm to me?"

In response, Issei shook his head sideways, gesturing a no. Regalzeva then smirked and said.

"Good, now lets fight off impact with impact."

As he said the sentence, he raised up both his as he had a evil grin on his face. Issei's eye glew up again reading 'Environmental Control'. As he looked up, behind Regalzeva, he had an expression of utter fear in his head. He saw a masive, enourmous, island sized piece of land rose out of the water.

"No way. That thing is as big as an island."

Issei thought fearfully. Regalzeva was very pleased by the look of fear on Issei's face.

He then yelled.

"Here it comes. Let's play some catch - catch."

He then threw the gigantic thing on on Issei. Even though it was so big, it travelled very fast, irrespective of its size. The large piece of land then hit Issei and settled right where it hit. Issei then broke out of the gigantic piece of land, that can be also called a rock, and rushed at Regalzeva. Before Issei even could have the expectation, Regalzeva stood ready for Issei to come out. Regalzeva himself sprinted towards Issei and kicked Issei, throwing him back and he hit the big rock and dug inside it.The impact itself was enough toshatter the entire rock into billions of small little broken pebbles and crumbled down. Issei got burried under the numerous, several pebbles. Through the small gaps, which were not covered by nothing but air, started glowing in red. Numerous thin, red, and long rays of light emitted out of the gaps.The light rays then started getting bigger and wider in diameter. The area then blasted in red aura.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Roar Issei as he stood out of the pile of small pebbles and the red aura of Kaioken 4 went high above and threw all the pebbles away as they scattered everywhere. Issei then rushed at Regalzeva. He then got very close to him and threw his right hand as a punch at him, just to hit nothing but his afterimage. Regalzeva then suddenly punch him from behind, sending him up in the sky. After going up at a certain height, Regalzeva appeared behind Issei and kicked him down as he fell into the water, leaving behind a big splash of water on the surface. Regalzeva then extended his right hand. A purplish-black sphere started forming in front of his palm, produced ver long purple and black spirals of light which rotated fastly in anti clockwise direction. The sped of rotation of spirals started becoming slower and the length of each curved line started becoming smaller. Very then spirals disappeared as they got completely compressed towards the core of the sphere{Attack name- Evie Bomb.}, Regalzeva shot the sphere at the particular spot on the surface of water, through which Issei entered in. As soon as the sphere hit the surface, it resulted in a humongous sized explosion.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The explosion certainly did not produce much fire or much smoke or much cloud. The effect was less but it could still be seen. Instead of much of the firey effect, a huge splash of water occured. There was a big hole in the water, where all the water fell into. Just then, Issei came ot of another spot and settled mid-air, at the same level Regalzeva was floating, facing Regalzeva.

"Did I make you work hard with that one? Sorry"

"Yeah. Tou definitely did made me take a hard time, finding a way to avoid that attack of your's"

Regalzeva gave an fake apology at first. Issei then replied to him in a serious mood. Issei was now feeling both really frustrated beacause Regalzeva kept on toying with him, and miserable beacause he could put in much more power but would drain his energy much more faster. Issei then charged at Regalzeva in his Kaioken 4 form. When Issei reached near him, even before Issei could even make a move, Regalzeva evaded his charge, surrounded himself with the same purple aura and siphoned himself with Issei. He then pulled him high above very fastly and then started pulling him down with with even more speed. The siphoning, that joined the two together, became longer and after going down to a certain height, Regalzeva threw Issei down and spanmed him down on the ground. Regalzeva then flew down and landed on the ground. This particular piece of land was so big that it would be the best choice for a warfield. Regalzeva walked down towards Issei. He tmafter a while stood near Issei. Issei, seeing him, stood up while baring his teeth. As he took a step forward, he realized that he legs hsd no strength left. So, closed his eyes he fell down and his body leaned on Regalzeva. Regalzeva then spoke up.

"So? Is the great Saiyan Warrior throwing in the towel already? What a disappointment."

Issei then opened his eyes and took a few steps back and said.

"Not a chance. I will not give up. I will defeat you. No matter what it takes."

"To defeat me, you need to match my speed first."

Regalzeva said back to him as he dissappeared from his position and landed a knee on Issei's face, as drops of blood came out oc his mouth and nose. The sheer force made him tske a few steps back. He then wiped the blood from his nose and mourh with the back of his hand. The next second, Regalzeva disappeared again. Issei then got lifted by the same purple aura of Regalzeva and lifted him up placed a few feet above the ground. The aura then took him behind Regalzeva. Regalzeva then thrusted an back elbow hit to Issei's stomach, making him spit out a lot of saliva. Regalzeva then released Issei, as he fell down. Regalzeva then instantly turned behind and kicked Issei which sent him flying backwards as his back hit the centre of large rock, joined with the ground, createing a large hole in it. He did not stop there but flied back to the point that he could not be seen any longer. Issei then flied back quickly and stood on the top of the large rock with a hole in it. Regalzeva tgen sarcastically said.

"My bad, did that hit very hard? Hahaha!"

He also let out a small laughter, which made Issei even more mad as he was mad enough already. Issei then calmed down, inhaled and exhaled couple of times because he knew that negative emotions would only make Regalzeva even stronger. He then reverted back to his Kaioken 4 form and mumbled with a cool mind.

"Kaioken Times Five."

The pressure around the area started increasing as the red aura of Kaioken became vehmry fierce now. The travel time of each spike of the aura from Issei's feet level to a foot and a half above hisbecame very less. The height of the aura grew taller. The mere force, pressure and the degree of thrust not shattered the rock into many million pieces but also incinerated and decimated every single piece of stone into atoms. But the question is will ot be enough to stop Regalzeva? Issei then jumped down and took flight and rushhed towards Regalzeva. Regalzeva stood still waiting for him. Issei then disappeared and reappeared in front of Regalzeva and gave a really powerful punch to his face, Sending him flying backwards. Issei then rushed quickly at Regalzeva and suddenly was under Regalzeva, who was floating in mid-air horizontally after the punch that Issei gave to him. Issei hit Regalzeva in the centre of his back with his knee. The sound of the hit could be heared throughout the Underworld. The hit just stopped Regalzeva any further behind. Regalzeva then started falling down. When he reached near the ground, Issei came under him before he could even land on the ground. Issei then lied on the ground, put his hands on the ground, on the either sides of his body and raised his legs up while folding them. He then thrusted his legs up, both hitting Regalzeva's back as he kicked him far above. Regalzeva after a pont stopped and prevented himself from gojng any further above. Issei then appeared in front of Regalzeva and sent a series of punches, hitting everywhere in his torso and and head. Issei then increased the speed of attacking and also increased the power he put in each hit before. Each hit echoed throughout the Underworld. He then kicked him down a little lower. Issei then flew down a little lower, matching Regalzeva's level from the ground. He flwmew towards him and threw a heavy punch to Regalzeva's sturnum. He then flew back and took a short power up and again charged at Regalzeva with full speed. He then gave a punch tk his face, followed by a knee to his stomach and an interlocked hand hit on hiis head and then an uppercut under his chin, sending him flying even further above. He got above Regalzeva and then smacked him down with both his hands joined together. The impact created a large cloud of dust around the spot where Regalzeva fell. Before the cloud cleared, Regalzeva rushed out of it and tried to punch Issei. Before he could land the punch on Issei, Issei reciprocated him but faster and hit him in the face as Regalzeva's punch went just beside his ear. After this event occurred, Issei felt a bit weird.

"Strange? His movements and reflexes feel much slower than before. Something's fishy here."

Issei then performed an axe kick with sent Regalzeva crashing down to the ground. Issei then dropped a few meters away from Regalzeva. As soon as Regalzeva got up, Issei hastly sprinted towards Regalzeva and jump and performed a fall kick to Regalzeva's face, forcing him to take a few steps beck. Issei then proceeded to add on a backflip kick under his face, throwing him 3 to 4 yards back. Regalzeva then got back up and the closed in his fingers and formed a fist. He then drew his right hand back and a purplish-black aura surrounded his fist. He held his arm back for a while and when enough energy was charged, he thrusted his arm forward which released completely purple colored, thin beam, wrapped by zig-zag patterned black colored beam around it{Attack name - Evie Fist Blast} was shot at Issei. Issei decided to ise his arms as a shield and started walking slowly towards Regalzeva against the beam's force that was being exerted on him. Issei then moved to his right side and took flight. He the rapidly rushed a t Regalzeva. As soon as he reached near Regalzeva, he kicked his right hand with his right leg and then pressed it down with his feet and stapped on it, making Regalzeva bent down forward then did a 360 and hit Regalzeva with his fist on his face. A small drop of purple blood came of of his left cheek. Regalzeva then laughed for an instance at first then said.

"Hehahahaha! Did you really believe that you were damaging me all this time? Hell No! I have just been letting you hit me. So that you could be satisfied with your new powerup. You have got decent speed. But you are still garbage! All those hits I let you land one me and after all that, just a drop of blood? All that drama for just a single drop of blood. I AM DISAPPOINTED!"

He yelled the last sentence out louldly as he proceeded to pull his hand up and getting rid of Issei's feet that was above it, making him fall back. Regalzeva then sent a barrage of punches to Issei face as he lied on the floor. He then brabbed his shirt and pulled him up and then proceeded to grab his head and slam him down with full force while he was grabbing his head. Regalzeva then threw him far forward from he was standing. Regalzeva chased him down and hit him multiple times, sending him flying in different directions. Regalzeva moved so fastly that Issei could not even follow him. It was clear now. Regalzeva was just letting Issei have his fun for a while snd the time was up, Regalzeva showed him who is the boss here. With all those hits, Issei's body completely went numb. But he got back up everytime. Thinking about the promises he made, the reputation his is carrying. He was the last hope of the Underworld. If he does not succeed, Regalzeva shall exterminate the entire Underworld along with the people living in it. Regalzeva hand completely overpowered Issei with his strength. Issei then tried to hit him with a powerful punch. But, he got smacked down, crashing to the ground, creating huge cloud of dust. Regalzeva then dropped down inside the cloud. It was going to be a fight inside thr cloud. Issei rushed at Regalzeva in his Kaioken 5 form and tried to punch he. Regalzeva dissappeared and appeared beside him and kicked him in his stomach. He then disappeared the next second and kicked him in the back. He then placed his right bicep on Issei's throat from the front and pushed him up with it. Regalzeva the sent a barrage of kucks and punches from all the directions inside the cloud, thrashing him violently. Regalzeva then gave an uppercut under his chin, throwing him out of the smoke. Even if Issei was ising Kaioken 5 all that time when the two were inside the smoke, he could not even see where Regalzeva came from. Such was his speed. Issei then turned upright as he scraped out the dirt the ground in order to stop himself from going back any further as he was being pushed back bacause of the hit that he took just earlier. Issei then rushed above while looking inside the smoke where Regalzeva just was a while ago. Suddenly, Regalzeva appeared behind him and said.

"Nobody likes a sore loser to fight with. So loosen up and have fun."

Regalzeva then kicked Issei down, sending him crashing down to the ground. The impact when Issei fell created a small crater with broken stones inside it. As soon as Issei got back up on his feet, Regalzeva appeared behind him and kicked him above, suspending him in mid-air. Regalzeva then kicked him in the face, which threw him inside the water. Regalzeva then slowly descended diwn and stepped on the ground. Issei then jumped ouf of the wayer. He was completely drenched with water as his wet clothes Increased his body weight which was unnecessary and made it hard for him to move. His wet hair fell on his faces, just leaving a few gaps through which his eyes could be seen and he was breathing heavily. Regalzeva then raised his right hand halfway, with the back of his hand towards Issei. He the curled his all 4 of his fingers inwards twice, while the thumb was folded inwards on the palm, touching it. The curling of the fingers inwards showed that he was taunting Issei to come at him. Issei then let out a loud roar at the top of his voice.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Issei then jumped and dashed at Regalzeva at full speed of his Kaioken 5. Regalzeva lavitated up and the flyued backwards while he had his arms folded under his chest and facing Issei and looking at him straight with a emsmirk on his face. Issei chased him down. But he couldn't come close to him beacause the difference of speed that they possesed. Regalzeva knew what he was doing. He kept flying backward looking at Issei while slowing up as every second passed. Issei then finall came close to him and when he came very close to him, planning to attack him, Regalzeva disappeared from front of him. Issei's eyes had wide opened as he saw an enormous sized rock in front of him. Just when Issei started to slow down in order to prevent the collision between him and the rock. Regalzeva appeared behind him. He was facing the opposite direction Issei was facing. He then turned around 180 degree and swung his leg in the action. The leg then hit Issei's back and he was thrown at the rock. He broke inside the rock through one side of the rock and broke out from completely opposite side of it and fell to the the ground. Before Issei even could get up, Regalzeva grabbed him by his shirt and tossed him far up in the air. Regalzeva the dash up and hit Issei from every direction in a interval of few seconds. Regalzeva then gave Issei a hook hit to his chest, sending him even further above. Regalzeva then appeared behind a him and said.

"Please. Where is the fun if you don't fight back."

Regalzeva then kicked Issei down, sending him crashing to the ground. Issei then stood back up. Regalzeva then dissappeared from his place and hit Issei in the gut. Issei then got hit by a series of hit to his face from both left and right directions. Issei then fell back a few meters away from Regalzeva. He was lying upside down on the ground. Regalzeva then kicked hit him high above in the sky. The move got followed by a series of strong and fast hit from every direction. Regalzeva then again released the purple aura from him and grabbed Issei with it. He then slammed Issei down, crashing to the ground. A hole was created from the impact when Issei hit the ground. The hole was 5 meters deep and was quite wide in size. Issei was lying upside down inside it with dust all over his clothes. Parts of his body were covered with dirt on him. A few broken shards stones were also present on him. Issei then used the strength in his hands and took their support to get up. Regalzeva after noticing that, jumped down instantly and stood on a the wall of the hole in the ground behind Issei vertically. He then pushed the wall with his feet and jumped forward and hit Issei, which sent him inside through another side of the hole. He broke through the wall and dug a hole in the ground from the side that he hit and made the length of the hole a bit longer. He then lost his motion and came out the hole and hit the ground. Issei then stood up. His legs were trembling as the had now taken much a very powerful hit on his body. Regalzeva was standing in front of him. Issei started feeling dizzy now. He was very much fatigued. Issei was again about to fall on Regalzeva's body. Regalzeva, after noticing that yelled.

"My body is not you rest piece! And it is definitely not for free for anyone to lie on it."

Saying so, he gave a powerful jab to Issei's gut, making him cough ou some blod out of his blood and fel back on his hips. Issei then stared up at him in fear.
