Chapter 25. Battle of the Titans

"Oh, when I'm done with you, you will beg for mercy." Issei told his opponent as he slowly started to walk towards him.

If Issei was pissed before the arrival of Wulfrik, he was now livid, not only had he watched those close to him fight but seeing them getting hurt, some even came close to dying, was something that he absolutely hated. And he was very much ready to knock some teeth of the War God in the room, but he managed to restrain himself with a huge help of both Elsha and Belzard.

But now all restrictions were off, seeing that Lucy was almost sliced in half was something that even the 2 strongest Sekiryuutei's couldn't let happen, so they released their restriction on him and let him go wild, which he was planning on doing anyway. Though they did hold back the other hosts of Ddraig so that Issei don't use 'that' horrid form.

"Hehe, I like to see you try small lizard…Ahh I can already hear your screams of pain and your pleading to end your life quickly… I can tell you now that won't be happening." Wulfrik told him in a voice that reeked violence and bloodshed.

"Funny, that was something I also wanted to tell you. Hope you are ready to meet your maker!" Issei shouted as he finally took his position and entered his battle stance, which didn't go unnoticed by the seasoned warrior.

"Hmm, I see. I know of only 2 people that use that stance and both were Ddraig's me child, who trained you?" Wulfrik asked as he also went into his position, with his sword in front of him at the angle.

"You'll just have to beat me to find out. Now enough chit chat let's fight!" Issei shouted as he was ready to charge and beat the crap out of a man who nearly killed his lover. Göndul quickly appeared before the two, giving them last few rules that were implemented into this duel, making it very clear to 2 fighters that should they break the rules, they would be begging for death.

"Now this is the Final match...On the Asgardian side...Wulfrik, The Chaos Champion!" Göndul said as she pointed at Wulfrik, who was grinning from ear to ear while glaring at Issei with a battle lust look in his eyes. Before Göndul pointed at Issei, who was glaring at Wulfrik with so much hate, that it made some think that it was pure luck that he didn't enter 'that' already.

"On the Red Dragon Emperor's side...Issei Hyoudou, The Red Dragon Emperor!"

"Fighters...BEGIN!" Göndul shouted before disappearing, just as both Wulfric and Issei rocketed at each other with so much force that it made ground where they stood,created a massive crater.

Wulfrik was caught off guard at the speed that Issei had, which didn't give him enough time to react when Issei shot forward, not even bothering to defend himself at this point. Jumping in the air, Issei tucked in his legs and drop kick Wulfric in the chest sending the giant skidding back a few feet.

While the attack itself wasn't powerful enough to damage the mighty warrior, it was just annoying to the man but, Odin's keen eye caught onto what Issei was doing and he couldn't help but show a little grin.

"What will you do now Wulfrik? This boy is about to teach you a very painful lesson." Odin asked himself, confusing Thor and everyone else but their thoughts were interrupted by a massive explosion.

Issei was blasting at Wulfrik with his dragon shots, so fast that the champion of Chaos could only put his sword and brass while taking the shoots that grew more powerful one after another. It surprised everyone that Issei was starting to surround himself by a powerful crimson beam of energy mixed in with green.

"YOU WILL DIE WULFRIK AFTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

Issei's voice boomed as the brute still didn't manage to get out of his defensive position, all thanks to Issei's fury attacks that made it impossible for him. The barrage of energy shots continued for a few more minutes. With each explosion more devastating then the last one.

After it was over, everyone could only gaze in awe at the destruction. The whole area was completely dull, as it was just one huge crater that was about 100 meters deep with only a small patch of land still in the original height.

And there stood the Chaos Warrior, panting heavily and riddled with cuts and bruises, even his clothes were torn almost to shreds. But before Wulfrik could even attempt at anything, he was hit with so much force, that it sent him flying to the arena wall and straight to the wall, but before he got the chance to stand and recover, Issei grabbed Wulfric by the nape, picking him up and chucking him into the wall again.

"AHH!" Wulfrik shouted as he was slammed into the same wall again, with enough force to leave a large crack onthe wall.

Something was definitely broken, and he couldn't find out what before he was back onto being the defensive. Through all the red Issei was seeing, but something was clear to all onlookers, he was messing up his moves and Wulfric took notice and grinned, he would use this to his advantage. Even in this state of fatigue and damage Wulfrik finded the strength to damage and put some serious hurt on Issei.

Though what no one knew, was Elsha and Belzard holding back the current host of Ddraig with all their might, that was forcing Issei to mess up his moves a bit.

Catching Issei's punch, Wulfrik slammed his elbow into Issei's ribs with all the power he could muster, causing Issei growl to in pain, his armor being destroyed in that place.

Not letting go of this chance, Wulfrik grabbed onto the sides of his helmet, with a quick and powerful jolt, Issei's head went downward while bringing his knee up slamming it into his head shattering the helmet all together. Before quickly delivering a devastating punch to the face that sent Issei flying away.

After recovering from the punch, Issei stood straight up, his hair now covering his face as his helmet was destroyed, only now has he realised it.

While everyone was waiting to see what the young warrior would do next, some older and experienced ones already felt and knew, now was time for carnage. Issei lifted his head a bit, so that everyone can see his face, and some were confused while some were horrified at what they saw.

Issei's eyes were now glowing, but the major difference was that instead of two glowing emerald eyes, one was blood red while the other was pure emerald, and Odin and Freya instantly knew what was happening but kept it quiet, they could only hope that Elsha and Ddraig could contain this.

Feeling something running down his mouth, Issei wiped it with his fist before seeing the blood coming from his lips. He then felt something that he never felt before, a pure and unrefined feeling of pure hatred, fury, and satisfaction towards this battle.

Showing off his feral teeth and sadistic smirk, Issei roared towards the skies with so much power that sent shivers down everyones spines, both Lucy's and even the sadistic Arnett's spines. Lucy has never seen Issei this enraged, though she was almost killed so she couldn't blame him. And Arnett felt that she was near the death's door, as the power and brutality Issei showed was something that even in her wildest dreams she couldn't hope to do. And that scarred her a lot. Her a powerful and mighty Valkyrie who was always ready for a good and thrilling battle now seemed so scared that she was glad that she didn't have to fight this beast in battle, she was sure that if her or anyone aside of God's and Wulfrik fought the Sekyriuutei they would be dead 10 times over by now.

The rest of the Pantheon, not including Odin or Freya, and Issei's girls could only shiver at fear and the dread at what they felt and cowered away from the enraged Dragon who was about to show them why the Red Dragon Emperor was feared are respected through all the ages and was a force not to be taken likely. Even God's and other powerful beings respected the Dragon of Domination for his power and ferocity in battle, and Issei was a perfect exhample why.

Issei's body was now starting to get surrounded by the mixed crimson-emerald aura once though this time even faster before it exploded, revealing his newly repaired armor. However, his aura and power kept growing and growing scaring even Odin a little. "That's enough you brats! End the show!" Odin said quietly but sternly, but it fell on deaf ears.

Issei roared into the sky once again, his wings flew open, which in turn showed off instead of 2, Issei now had 2 more and it was clear to everyone that he ascended to a new level of power. The newly repaired armor was now even deadlier and sharper than before. His claws so sharp that it looked like it can cut throw anything even time and space, his tail was also sharpened and now had a small mace with spikes on them.

Looking back at Wulfrik, he roared again before he charged forward so fast that it shattered the ground below him. Getting low to the ground, Issei slammed his foot into Wulfric's jaw, launching him into the sky.

Jumping into the air after him, Wulfrik was able to block Issei's kick, but was unable to block the punch to the gut that sent him hurdling back to the ground, creating another large massive crater. Holding both his hands out, he started to gather power for his dragon shot but instead of launching it, he started to compress it while he still added more power to it making it slowly increase in size and power.

Seeing that there is no way to get out of this, Wulfrik grinned, this was exactly how he wanted to fight and to die, a true Warrior's death at the hands of a capable and worthy foe, and the boy in front of him was both. He was sure that even the Chaos God of Battle and Slaughter would be more then happy to see and hear about this youth that has so much power and will, but almost unhealthy amount of Rage and Bloodlust to bout.

But even still Wulfrik's pride and power wouldn't allow him to go out like this, oh hell No! So he stabbed his blade into the ground, as he also started to gather his power in front of him. As both fighters gathered their energy attacks to the power they wanted, it was clear to everyone that once fired there was no way to stop them from obliterating everything in their path.

DRAGON PURGATORY DESOLATION!

CHAOS DEATH STAR!

"EVERYONE SHIELD THE BATTLEFIELD NOW!" Odin shouted, everyone, heeded and followed command, just as Issei shot the ball at Wulfric and vice versa. There were sparks flying as the balls hit, fighting for supremacy.A large explosion occurred in the shield, creating cracks, due to the power both warriors used. It would probably be shattered if it weren't for Odin, who used a bit more power than he would have liked, to keep the shied standing strong. But the aftermath of the blasts of power were enough for everyone to know that those 2 gladiators were packing serious firepower and were willing to use it.

As the dust settled, it gave the audience the chance to look at the two warriors that, to their amazement, still stood strong and they did look like they were hit by a train, but that was too be expected from all those two did. Though what made Issei's girls worried, was that Issei started to wobble a bit and spit blood, though Lucy explained to them that it was probably because he overused his assets and his abilities in that magnificent fight, that sent shivers down her spine as she still remembered the dark sadistic look in his eyes as he charged at Wulfrik.

Seen enough, and not in a mood to see more bloodlust from the two man, Odin stood up to get their attention. Though before he could speak, he was shocked to see Wulfrik chuckling and smiling at the young man in front of him.

"That was some power you put up young Emperor, and I must say, I'm wholeheartedly enjoying this fight. I have to say also that Dragon Rage is extremely powerful and damn those hit of yours hurt as hell and that is just how I like my fight." Wulfrik spoke with a shit-eating grin on his face that Issei was more than happy to give his own towards the old warrior.

"Haha and here I thought I would have killed you with that! Oh well, you learn something new every day, but I agree with you, so how about it? Ready for round 2? I still have plenty in my tank!" Issei roared at his opponent, who just smirked and took his battle pose and got ready for a next round.

"By all means…Come at me Sekiryuutei!" Wulfrik replied as he gave his own battle roar.

To say that they were shocked from what Issei just said, would be an understatement of the he was, on his last leg and he wanted more. Was he hit in the head to strong or did his last attack short fused his brain? That was what everyone thought, as they looked at thebreathless form of Issei, who was grinning like a mad man and starting to generate boost again.

[ISSEI! ARE YOU INSANE! YOU ARE BARELY STANDING! YOU REALLY WANT TO GO FOR ANOTHER ROUND?] Ddraig roared in disbelief at what his partner was doing, and there he knew that Wulfrik would just settle for a Draw and be done with it, but no. His idiotic partner wanted to fight more.

(Issei dear you should stop NOW! I know Wulfrik and he would gladly settle for a Draw and let you off, so please just say I'm done, and he will let you go.) Elsha also jumped in the conversation, trying to stop the young Emperor from killing himself. However, Belzard just took a second to look at Issei and with a soft nod encouraged him to go for it. Which brought the wrath of the other two companions at him, but before they could do anything to him Issei decided to give his input.

'Guys, chill, I know what I'm doing, so there is no need to, I will admit, I'm spent but what can I do? If we are in a real fight and an opponent that is way stronger than me fought me, he wouldn't give me time to build up my strength and power …He will attack me again in this shamble state of mine without a second thought. Besides I think I earned Wulfrik's respect, so he won't kill me, kick my but hell yeah, but kill me no.'

(I say, let him continue to would be a good experience for 's a good way to see how he stacks up against a more seasoned warrior that has enough time to learn and refine his skills to the point of knowing were too strict to kill.) Belzard added making the other two extremely pissed off.

(Belzard I swear to every GOD! I know that if he dies fighting that monster, I will personally find a way to erase your sorry ass of the place of the Earth and history, so no one will ever know that you existed, you hear me! And before that, I'm going to kick your sorry ass and then torture you before I castrate you so that when you finally die you will be in so much pain and fear that you will be wishing you died earlier!)

Elsha told him, with every word coated in deep venom that made all three males flinch and sweat as they were sure that she would deliver on her threat, if Issei died fighting. Shaking his head to remove that thought out of his head, Issei mentally got ready for the next round, his blood pumping with such ferocity and Adrenaline was all time high.

Issei smirked before he charged at Wulfrik head on. This caused the brute to smile greatly, as he slammed his weapons down before charging at Issei at the same speed. With both warriors injured, it would only be a matter of time before one of them fell, and neither one of them wish for it to be them. Their pride would not allow them to give up in a face of a worthy opponent, to both it would be a great disrespect and huge hit on them.

They both reeled back their hands before they both launched them forward, slamming their fists into the others causing a shockwave. The shockwave was massive enough to shake the whole area, making many of the spectators fall to their knees. Lucy looked up with wide eyes as she witnessed her love fight.

All-out fist fight erupted as both kicks and punches were sent on both sides, it was turning into a slugfest, as both warriors tried to overpower another, but both were in a stalemate. Issei was, thanks to his boost and rage, overwhelming Wulfrick in the power department but to counter that Wulfrick used his overwhelming experience to his advantage

Wulfrik sent a kick towards Issei. He simply jumped over his leg, doing a front kick to Wulfrik head. The attack was successfully blocked when he raised his hands up blocking his kick. Grabbing Issei's ankle, Wulfrik grinned as he started spin around throwing Issei into the air. Doing a flip and landing on his feet, Issei breathed in through his nose before Issei's mask dispelled long enough for him to breathe fire from his mouth. Wulfrik widened his eyes,the attack was enormous for such a human to possess, but it wasn't good enough. Even though the fire was like Inferno, it was still not good enough against an opponent of Wulfrik caliber who raised his hand up and created a barrier blocking Issei's fire attack. Issei clicked his tongue in annoyance that his attack didn't succeed but began to charge again.

A sharp pain tore through Issei when he took a step forward. Screaming loudly, Issei fell to the ground holding his stomach as he was still yelling in pain.

The sight of Issei yelling and being in extreme pain force everyone to rush to the battleground...well what was left of it after the devastating battle that took place there...As soon as Issei's harem and the Gods arrive they suddenly hear silence...Fearing the worst Lucy and Cassie quickly started to see what was happening with Göndul quickly healing him. Though the only one that wasn't worried about Issei was his opponent, who knew what exactly happened and why he screamed in pain.

"You should all relax, he just passed out from all the strain he forced his body to go through." Wulfrik calmly spoke as he got near Issei, making Lucy and Cassie take up defensive positions in front of Issei's body ready to protect him.

Seeing this Wulfrik just sighed, honestly, he expected them to be like this, still it annoyed him to no end. Though he did admit that the both girls looked ready to fight him to the death if needed be for their "future master's" safety, that he respected.

"I won't do anything to him, nor to you all, I'm a warrior, yes, sadistic, yes. But I have my honor and those that can show me enough power and strength and will to fight and even injure me, are the ones that deserve my highest respect and that boy did deserved it, so I will not claim my prize." Wulfrik spoke as he pushed past both girls and looked down at the broken form of Issei, who even in his passed-out state was trying to get up.

The site was something that shock Wulfrik, he never saw and expected anyone completely broken and unconscious state, who tried to force his will and body to get up, his respect for the kid risen even more. Bending down, Wulfrik lightly tapped Issei's chest in a sign of a well fought battle before standing up and leaving. Odin, who saw it all, was still in so much shock from the battle and Wulfrik's behavior to even speak. Though he quickly shock his head and put all of this to side, as he was now focused on getting the young Emperor back on his feet and to full health as quickly as possible.
