Chapter 8: The New Goat Sin of Lust
(Que Seven Deadly Sins Ost "Sky Peace")
The Queen of Riser groaned in pain in the smoldering crater that she made, felled by her own magic. Despite the pain, Yullebeluna but her lips in fury how a lowly peasant of a devil did this to get.
Painfully and slowly her arm reached to the phoenix tear bottle attached to her. Once she swallowed the whole contents of the bottle, Yullebeluna's wounds healed as though she was never scorched in explosive magic just seconds ago. She picked herself up, intent on finding the pair of the Gremory's servants. Her eyes locked on their forms running away like she was of no consequence.
Gritting in fury, Yullebeluna pointed her staff to blast them into oblivion. The sphere of explosive magic was charging at the tip. A sick grin made its way onto Yullebeluna's face in excitement of the enemy's retirement and her King's sure victory. Before it could fire, a bolt of holy lightning blasted down right in front of her with enough force to lose her footing. She grimaced in pain; just being in the presence of the holy magic was enough for it to burn her to the very core of her being. Yullebeluna looked up with fury as the crow Queen of Rias Gremory levitated down to her level. She would never admit it, but the sight of Akeno with three pairs of black wings surging with holy lightning frightened her.
"Ara ara, what do you think you're doing?" Akeno said in a sweet, yet devious voice. "We were just starting to have some fun."
"I've been waiting to for this moment to humiliate you, horrid crow." Spat Yullebeluna, standing up with a purple aura of magic surrounding her.
"So have I, crater face." Akeno replied 'sweetly', an even larger aura surrounding the fallen angel and holy lightning arcing off her body.
"Before, I would be very pressed to deal with you. But now…" Akeno's smile turned very sinister. "Now I get to see how loud and long you can scream for."
Yullebeluna stood her ground against the High-class fallen angel, but she could not keep down the shiver that served as an omen for what was coming to her. She kept her smug look upon Akeno even if winning didn't seem in reach.
"Oh, and how are you-" Yullebeluna was cut off as Akeno's fist blurred with the true speed of a Knight and struck her in the face with the strength of a Rook. It was so quick and strong the Bomb Queen's face rippled like a balloon before blood flew out of her nose and mouth. She staggered back, holding her nose that spiked in pain. A shocked look came over her face when Akeno was now standing just a meter away even when she couldn't sense anything.
"Kind of like that." Akeno said with a massive blush, going into a stance with her dominant arm pulled back behind her head and her left arm positioned in front of her body to guard. "I've been looking for someone to practice my martial arts skills that Asuna-sama taught me. Don't worry, Bomb Queen. We'll work up to the lightning very~ soon~."
Yullebeluna widened her eyes in terror as the full realization of the situation she landed herself in hit her with the force of a freight train… that was Akeno's fist digging into her gut followed by a few blows to the head.
Meanwhile, Issei and Koneko made their exit away from the
destroyed building of the gym.
"Do you think Akeno-sempai will be fine?" Koneko asked Issei.
Before Issei could answer, their attention went to a giant bolt of lightning coming towards the ground followed by the cackles of Akeno.
"I'm sure she'll be fine." Issei assured with a sweatdrop, which got bigger when the pair heard Yullebeluna's pain-filled screams. "Very much indeed."
Issei suddenly laid a hand on Koneko and stopped her in their rush to the athletics building. The Nekoshou was about to question Issei until she saw an unfamiliar glint in his eyes of a plan. A wry smile made itself known on his face.
"Koneko-san, how good are you with horses?" Issei asked.
Koneko could only quirk an eyebrow before a summoning circle appeared at Issei's feet. A mighty neigh resonated from the circle as out rose a creature that defined majesty and power. The audience that watched the Rating Game, including the noble houses and the Maou, all dropped their jaws in shock at Issei summoning Gowther the Kirin. Red eyes gazed patiently at the Nekoshou. Koneko could only match Issei's grin at his plan that she was already liking.
(Athletics Building)
Issei had found Kiba, who had asked of the whereabouts of Koneko.
His only response from the Red Dragon Emperor was an assuring smile that Kiba himself would give. The two were hiding in the storage room of the athletics building, planning their next move or waiting for further orders from Rias.
"You know after the Rating Game, let's say we go for another spar, unless you're afraid of losing?" Kiba offered.
"No problem, just as soon as we win this for Rias." Issei agreed.
Over the ten days, the two had gotten closer as friends especially now that Issei had a good sparing partner with the blade. He was very skilled and with his speed as a Knight was able to keep up with Issei. It was because of Issei's personal style with the gladius that focused on harsh punishes and his training with Meliodas that Kiba had yet to win over him. Thought it made Issei excited that with Kiba's new magic arsenal of their next spar. Not many knew this, but besides feminine beauty Issei also lusted for the thrill of combat.
Somewhere in the world, the White One sneezed.
"Kiba, Ise-kun, do you read me?" Rias spoke via the communication spells on their ears.
"Read you loud and clear." Issei replied.
"I'm launching a sneak attack on their base with Asia and I want you draw as many of the enemy as you can." Rias announced, getting surprised looks from the Knight and Ultimate-class Pawn. "With Akeno busy with Riser's Queen, I'm left with no choice but to go on the offensive. Riser will think I will be staying back, so here's to hoping that I can take him by surprise. His body may be immortal, but his heart is not. I can take him."
"I don't mean to offend you here, Rias, but you're being awfully cocky here." Issei interjected. "There's no guarantee that you will actually surprise Riser, much less win against him. You've gotten stronger, there's no doubt about it, but that overgrown fried chicken at least has enough confidence in his regeneration. The least that you could do is survive against him."
On the other end, Rias narrowed her eyes. "What do you propose I do then?"
"Come forward, but don't engage Riser, not yet at least." Issei suggested. "This is your first Rating Game, Rias. The whole Underworld is watching this, and as your Pawn I find it is my duty to make it a spectacle in your honor. I will not just bring the rest of Riser's peerage to me. I plan to ultimately crush them and show them the might that is Rias Gremory."
"…" Rias took a moment to digest Issei's words, and her devil's desire were calling out to follow Issei's words. He was right; this was her first Rating Game, an event where she can place her own name in the Underworld. Simple victory will not suffice. "Okay, Ise-kun, Asia and I will go up."
"Alright." Issei replied, a primal growl in his voice as his dragon side was oozing with excitement to prove his superiority. He ended the call and glanced to Kiba. "Shall we get started on kicking some ass, my friend?"
Kiba smiled and took a playful bow. "It would be my pleasure."
The pair soon arrived out in the open and Issei called them out. The first to meet them was one of Riser's Knights by the name of Karlamine wearing armor and wielding a flaming sword. Kiba and Issei exchanged nods and the blonde Knight engaged Karlamine in clashing blurs of fire and steel. Issei waited only a moment, holding in a smug grin, before the rest of Riser's peerage entered the fray, probably hoping to outnumber and overwhelm him. The first to catch his eye was the last Rook and Knight Isabella and Siris. Isabella looked like she was formerly a part of a biker gang wearing a leather jacket, short shorts, and half of a mask that covered her right eye.
Siris had her hair tied into five tails of hair held by a gold band, and a zweihander was sheathed on her back.
Two Pawns and two Bishops followed them. The Pawns were twins cosplaying as cat people by the name of Li and Ni. One of the Bishops seemed to be a priestess of sorts wearing a garb decorated in flowers. The last Bishop however caught his eye as it was the little sister of Riser Phoenix, Ravel Phoenix, wearing a pink dress and her hair curled into two drill designs. She had only High-class magical reserves, but every other stat with her was pathetic just as much as Riser's peerage. Yet again, the cockiness of noble devils irked Issei to no end as they were born with such potential yet wasted in the end and meet a very early death in the real world.
"That Karlamine." Ravel whined. "Her head is filled with nothing but swords, swords, swords. She was way too bothered by the loss of our servants and if you ask me she needs an adjustment."
Issei could safely say that Ravel had talent. In just under ten seconds, she had already pissed him off with her horrible attitude.
He is going to enjoy breaking these fools.
"If you ask me, I'd say that girl is in the most right mindset out of all of you." Issei interjected, his posture perfectly calm despite being surrounded. "At least she has the sense to not be a fuck toy and actually be a proper devil."
Ravel scoffed. "She should be honored that onii-sama invites her to his bed. But no, she and that Rook Xulean would rather act a 'proper devils' as they say. I don't know why onii-sama bothered with such garbage. And Rias Gremory is just wasting her time over a something so trivial. In all likelihood, she and the rest of the woman in her peerage should be glad for onii-sama's attention."
That did it for Issei. He absolutely loathed other people that would look down on them because of their noble birth, thinking they were on a higher-level of existence because of birth. The only exception would be gods, but that was a very thin line. He no longer could say that he disliked Karlamine and Xulean anymore since they had the courage and will to not be practical slaves to these arrogant bigots that have no idea how little they are compared to the world. As soon as he could, Issei was going to get the pair out of Riser's peerage.
But as for Ravel, Issei absolutely hated this spoiled little chicken for she just crossed the line by putting his King and fellow peerage members in the same boat with the rest of Riser's fuck toys.
"I have only three words for you." Issei snarled, his eyes glowing eerily green and his Sacred Gear calling out more [BOOSTS].
"Arrogant bratty chicken."
Ravel was about to retort at the 'peasant', in her mind at least, until the group stopped at the neigh that echoed throughout the dimension. They tensed up in preparation for an attack, but none of them can be anticipate the speed of the Kirin. It dashed through the trees, lightning striking along as it went. Lines of light glowed on the ground where the peerage members stood before they cried in agony as lightning bolts struck horizontally. The Pawns and the Bishop cried in pain as they felt the wrath of the Kirin course through them till they disappeared in blue particles.
"Two of Riser's Pawns and one of Riser's Bishops have retired."
Isabella was able to stay conscious thanks to her durability, if only barely, and Siris was just barely able to dodge the line of lightning.
Ravel was so caught off guard by the ambush, but when she got her bearings all that she could do was glare at Issei as if her glare would somehow make him disappear. Unfortunately for the arrogant brat, the Kirin sprinted forward with his horn poised down to strike. Ravel never saw it coming and her eyes died out in a silent scream when she was impaled by Gowther's horn through the chest. She was still considered in the Rating Game due to her healing factor, but couldn't get herself off the Kirin when she found her arms held back by Koneko who was riding on Gowther's back.
"You're not going anywhere, fried chicken." Koneko said, a dangerous glint in her eyes compared to her usual emotionless stare. Karlamine stopped in her fight to stare in shock at the state that Ravel was in. It costed her duel with Kiba as he dashed behind Karlimine and struck a blow to the back of her head with the pommel of his sword. In the distance, a flash of lightning split the sky quickly followed by the appearance of Akeno flying in the sky with a satisfied smile and a huge blush on her cheeks.
"Riser's Queen and one of Riser's Knights have retired."
Ravel's eyes widened in shock, or as much as she could in the pain of being impaled, at the loss of their strongest piece. Fire burned around her chest to try and heal her wound, but even her flames were useless to the Kirin's horn stuck to her. Siris and Isabella tried to save her, only for Kiba to block her way clashing their blades together and Issei appearing right in front of the Rook and kicking her back.
"Unhand Lady Ravel." Spat Isabella with venom.
Issei didn't waste words with the Rook as she took a fighting stance of a boxer and dodged him down intent on turning him into paste.
Her movements were slow even for a Rook and it showed Issei that Riser had never trained his peerage ever since he reincarnated them. He would be laughing if the fried chicken didn't have trash for attitude. The dragon/hybrid showed no mercy as he swatted the Rooks fist away like it was a fly and punished with a crushing punch that dug into Isabella's gut, making the Rook spit out blood. There was so much force into the blow that an air circle carved through the ground for several meters.
"What… are… you?" Isabella groaned before she was teleported away via blue particles.
Siris did not fare any better with Kiba. Before training with the peerage of Meliodas, the blonde Knight would have been pushed to use his Sacred Gear. At this point however he was playing with Siris, easily parrying and blocking her zweihander. She gave one last poweful swing in a desperate attempt to end the duel. Kiba still kept his smile as he lowered his sword and instead raised his hand.
Glowing lines started to form on his arm like circuitry as he channeled the new magic King taught him. Instead of cleaving his arm off, the zweihander stopped completely in Kiba's grip like it was made of steel.
"Impossible." Gasped Siris before Kiba slashed his sword and she soon disappeared in blue particles.
"All of Riser's Knights and Rooks have retired."
"And that leaves you, brat." Issei said, his now green eyes boring into her like she was an insignificant bug.
"You - can't beat onii-sama." Ravel gasped through the pain. "We – of the - Phoenix clan - are unstoppable."
"If it were anyone else, I would be laughing." Issei said, slowly walking up to the impaled Ravel. "It's just that you and your brother have done nothing but piss me off that I could go full circle. You have no idea what powers lie in the world. So what if you can't die? There are always worse fates than death."
"You don't - scare - me." Ravel defied.
"Hey, Akeno-sempai," Issei perked up, "how would you like to join in on a test to see just how immortal a Phoenix is?"
"Ara ara, what a wonderful proposition." Akeno replied, her blush returning tenfold.
"When I say it, you will aim your lightning at Gowther's horn while he at the same time channels his own power." Issei explained, getting fearful looks from Ravel. "And just for added measure, I'm giving you both the power from my boosts."
"Ara ara, what a wonderful mind you have, Ise-kun." Akeno almost squealed in delight. "I might just think becoming a part of your harem myself."
The fallen angel ascended into the air and by her command a magic circle took form ready to unleash holy lightning. Koneko jumped off Gowther as the Kirin summoned more lightning as blue bolts of electricity danced over its body and across the ground, increasing in intensity. Ravel was now whimpering when just moments ago was spouting about the invincibility of the Phoenix clan. Call him a sadist if one wanted to, but it made Issei grace a small smirk.
"Let her have it." Issei called out as he snapped his fingers.
"Please…" Ravel said. "I-I'm sorry about what I said." Koneko met the girl's gaze… and flipped her off. "Suck it."
Ravel screamed as Gowther unleashed his lightning into his horn while at the same time Akeno unleashed a bolt of holy lightning to come crashing down. Issei rose his hands up to for a transfer and finish Riser's last piece.
"NO!"
The sudden shout distracted Issei from his concentration. When he looked back to the source, his eyes widened meeting an inferno coming his way. His form was completely encased in the raging flames, getting shocked looks from the ORC. Riser soon appeared, his face etched in rage and he bolted to his sister. But it was too late as Akeno's lightning bolt already struck the Phoenix and she disappeared in blue particles as the holy element was far too much for her to handle.
"DAMN YOU, LOWLY PEASANTS!" Riser outraged, his body producing flames that took the form of three pairs of wings. "I WILL EVISCERATE YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY LITTLE SISTER!"
The ORC got over the loss of the Pawn, knowing that Issei had brought them this close through the Rating Game. Rias and Asia came out of their hiding spot from the bushes, the former brimming with red energy in barely contained rage for what he did to her Isekun. They were all still fresh with energy, and they wouldn't waste the chance Issei gave them.
"Well that was unexpected."
The voice drew all attention back to the inferno where they could see a shadow coming out. To Riser's fury and to Rias' joy, it was Issei well and still in the game. His skin showed signs of severe burns that were somehow healing. Some of his clothes were burned away far from saving, but the most damage was his entire upper body no nude to the Underworld. Seeing what was now revealed underneath his red shirt, it caused some of the female viewers to blush at what they saw. It was more so worse for the girls of the ORC, except Koneko. Asia had seen Issei shirtless, but still covered her face that was burning red. Rias' face went as red as her hair and Akeno was licking her lips in excitement.
Issei's blazer and shirt did not justice for what lay beneath that caused these blushes. Instead of the figure of a regular teenager, Issei instead had a body that can only be described to have been chiseled. Abs and pecs that could grind meat and arms that could make any human girl drool. They weren't overly massive like a bodybuilder, but rather kept a lean build to focus on both speed and power. One odd detail that Rias noted was on the left side of his chest was a red tattoo of a goat.
That may have not held any significance to Rias, but to a certain group of Maou they were basically frothing at the mouth from their slack jaws that refused to stay closed. Even the heads of the houses seated with them were growing concerned by their reactions.
"If I hadn't released my darkness just then, that would've been a bit bad for me." Issei said. True to his words, the ORC and Riser noticed a miasma of darkness stemming off his back and a black scar-like marking going down his right eye. Wherever the darkness went, Issei's wounds instantly healed. Not only that but going passed the astonishment of his body Rias noticed that Issei's aura felt far more demonic than a devil's should be. She wasn't the only one as Riser himself was unnerved by how Issei walked out without so much as a scratch and oozing a presence of darkness that threatened to devour his flames.
"What are you!?" Exclaimed Riser, his tone betraying his fear. "What by the Maou are you?!"
"Well, since people have been asking that question repeatedly, I guess I should make my full introduction, and so announce the return of the Seven Deadly Sins here and now ." Issei said, summoning the twin bows of Herrit, the engines of the Boosted Gear roaring with crimson flames, and finally the unveiling of eight devil wings with the red membrane that symbolized his draconic side.
"Greetings to all. My name is Issei Hyoudou. Resident ass-kicker of Kuoh Town. This generation's Red Dragon Emperor. The future greatest Harem King. Part-time worker of the Boar Hat. Apprentice swordsman to Meliodas Satan-"
In the room with the Maou, Sizerchs basically went bonkers as he jumped from his seat and gripped the screen with both of his hands shouting, "He knows! He knows! He knows!" All the while his fellow Maou were trying to sit him back down with little success.
"-Holder of the Commandment of Selflessness." Continued Issei.
"The three-way hybrid of dragon, devil, and demon. And finally, I am the new Goat Sin of Lust of the Seven Deadly Sins. A pleasure to meet you."
(Just to avoid any flames on my way, anyone who possesses a Commandment also becomes a demon as evident with Mael when he held the Commandment of Love. The same goes with his dragon heritage that was given to him by his Sacred Gear.)
"D-Demon?!" Stuttered Rias.
The human race makes a rather commom mistake if mixing up demons and devils. The devil race were first created when Satan had turned the fallen angel Lucifer into one. But demons were an entirely different matter. Where fallen were to pure angels; devils were to demons. They were a race created by Satan himself in contrast to the angels of the Biblical God. The demonic magic within devils is in fact diluted when compared to the demon race. As far as Rias knew, the demon race was sealed away from Earth and the Underworld. Issei couldn't be a demon, but the sheer potent darkness leaking off of him just supported his claim.
"Y-You're bluffing!" Exclaimed Riser.
Issei sighed. "How rude. It seems I shall have to teach you more about humility, even after your entire peerage has been eliminated and none of us have retired."
Issei disappeared in a sprint then reappeared planting a fist into Riser. The unexpected blow made Riser cough out spittle and hold his gut in pain. Or he would if Issei didn't uppercut him hard enough to send him into the air.
"Let's go and show them what the peerage of Rias Gremory is really made of." Issei announced.
His voice was like a single to the rest of the ORC and they sprang into action. Koneko was the first to act, jumping high into the air and punching Riser in the back sending him further into the air. Kiba, as best he could with his new Reinforcement magic, jumped up to Koneko's level. The Nekoshou grabbed the Knight's foot and used her Rook strength to throw Kiba towards Riser. He materialized swords of ice but not of magic but the very concept of the cold thanks to King's mental training to improve his Sword Birth. As he passed, his twin swords, gleaming like blue diamonds, slashed at Riser's side and a second later ice erupted from the wound instead of the flames of his clan. Once gravity took hold of Kiba and Riser, the blonde Knight sent down a barrage of swords of his many creations with Sword Birth while at the same time giant blades grew out of the ground. Riser could only scream in agony as his healing factor was suppressed by the cold in his wound, leaving his vulnerable to pain.
Next, Rias took the opportunity to blast her power of the POD. The red ray of pure destruction hit its mark on point and sent Riser through several trees. Before he could get his bearings, a clap of holy lightning came down like the wrath of Yhawheh. His screams of agony from the holy element were music to Akeno, and the fact he didn't retire yet made her lick her lips in delight.
"I will…" Riser growled as he picked himself up and his flames were burning on the ground. "I will make you mine, Rias Gremory! You'll be my greatest prize that I do whatever I want!"
Riser gathered his flames above his head until he looked like he was holding a miniature sun. With a roar, he hurled towards Rias, knowing full well that if she retired this Rating Game would be his win. However, Asia gathered her courage putting herself between her King and the fireball. She held out the shield Issei made her while casting a barrier spell that came to life as a wall of green light.
The fireball impacted like the crack of a cannon and the flames roared passed each side of the barrier, but Rias and Asia were fine.
The spell did start to crack along the sides but didn't shatter as the flames died out. Asia released the spell a little winded but there was a greater fire in her eyes.
"I will protect my friends." Asia declared.
"You did well, Asia-chan." Issei complimented, then locked his eyes on the raging Riser. "I believe it's my return."
"I don't care whoever you are." Riser cried, creating another ball of flame. "My flames will fucking burn you all to a crisp."
"Then I shall leave them in ever-consuming darkness." Issei said, raising his left hand while his other drew out his gladius. "Blackout."
The mighty flames of the Phoenix were snuffed out to Riser's horror as tendrils of darkness sprang up and enveloped the flame. Issei literally rocketed forward as the engines on his shoulders propelled him forward, sword poised for a slash. But Riser was far from giving up as he concentrated fresh flames in his right hand, practically turning it into fire. It seemed the two would clash between steel and fire, where the former most of the spectators expected to lose.
"Hellblaze."
That is until upon Issei's chant the blade of his gladius was set ablaze in dark purple flames. They were not the divine black flames of Amaterasu, or the holy flames of Heaven. These were the most devastating fires that originated from the depths of Hell and its only purpose was to bring agony to the very soul. The flames of Riser stood no chance as Issei's blade cut through his hand like butter and continuing through his body and out his left shoulder. The slash mark left the burning blaze on his body and his healing factor stood no chance to stop it. All that Riser could do was scream in pain of he, a Phoenix, burning.
"How does the pain of burning feel, Riser?" Issei said. "Not pleasant
I can safely say that. Those flames are from Hell itself, and will hunger for anything to burn." He walked back to the ORC and glanced to Rias. "I leave the rest to you."
Rias blinked owlishly. "Me!? But you have him right there."
"No can do, Buchou, ni-shi-shi." Issei said with a wide grin. "Rias, this is your first Rating Game, and, as much as you don't want to hear this, they all think you're weak. So show them. Show them the power that's not Rias of the Gremory, Rias the Princess of Ruin, or Rias the heiress. Show them the true Rias you want them to see. The one that I have faith in."
Rias hinged her head down like the ground was the most interesting to her while rubbing the tip of her toes against the ground. She cooled her composure and stepped forward to the still suffering Riser. Even as he writhed in pain, Rias didn't feel any sympathy of the snake in devil's skin. Crimson energy surged at the tip of her fingers as though she was ready for a blast. But instead of unleashing the magic, Rias channeled more and more into it while at the same time giving it shape. Sweat was going down her brow from the exertion and her breaths were becoming more haggard. Her body was soon screaming at her to stop but her will wouldn't allow it.
Issei gave her this chance at a free life. He had power that she dreamed of yet he helped her without asking anything in return.
I have faith in you.
And she will not waste the gift that her beloved Issei gave her. The stress on her body suddenly wafted away as though something inside her that was locked away suddenly blasted to freedom. Her crimson magic took form over her body, and the whole grounds were shaking under the growing pressure of her power that continued to rise. The Power of Destruction washed around her body, disintegrating her clothes and her magic was growing to the point that it was leaking off her skin.
No, her very body was indeed turning into the Power of Destruction itself. Her hair whipped into the air before turning into a cloud of red plasma surging with energy. The Power of Destruction wrapped around her nude form like the linen wrappings of a mummy. Rias' pale skin only remained on her left forearm and anything above her shoulders, and her eyes were blazing in crimson red.
In the booth with the Maou, the leaders of the Underworld sat in shocked silence at the young Gremory's new transformation.
Sizerchs especially, who had to be chained down with ice manacles thanks to Serafall, was the most shocked that his little sister was able to generate power similar to his own. And that could only mean that a new Super Devil has joined their faction.
"My Rias-tan…" Gasped Sizerchs.
"Well I'll be." Ajuka said with an exasperated smile. "Looks like we have a new Super Devil to join our little, huh Sizerchs? That form kinda looks like you when you transform, but it looks like it hasn't gone all the way."
"It'll be nice not to be the only Super Devil girl around here." Serafall beamed.
Back in the Rating Game, Rias held out her right hand that produced a straight, wispy tendril of the Power of Destruction. Through the pain, Riser could see Rias in her new form and the power it generated was enough to put fear into his heart. He wanted to let out a cry of mercy, but the flames would not let him.
"Red Night." Rias brought the arm down like a sword, and half of the visible world was veiled away in crimson red. Not even a single sound was made as the wave of destruction split Riser in two and still went further. It was unstoppable and so instantaneous that as soon as Rias arm finished its motion a trench was already formed at her feet. The very barrier that limited the dimension even cracked, barely stopping the POD wave. There wasn't even dust left since the very atoms of whatever was struck was reduced to absolute nothing.
"Riser has retired. The winner is Rias Gremory."
After a few seconds, Rias reverted back from her semi-demonic form. All her strength was lost to her and she fell to the ground. Her saving grace was Issei catching his King in her fall. Her brilliant blue eyes could barely gaze at Issei's own eyes that looked warmly at her. That soft gaze made Rias smile and cry tears of joy.
"Thank you… Issei." Rias muttered, her vision going dark.
"Get some rest, Buchou." Issei consoled. "You've earned it."
"Ara, who knew Rias packed so much power?" Akeno said in honest surprise, then glanced to her chest. "Wonder where it all was?"
"Thank you… everyone." Rias said with all the strength in her voice she could muster at the moment. "For everything… you've done for me."
"Don't worry about it." Issei said. "You're too fun to leave behind. All of us here will be with you wherever and whenever you need us."
Yes, Issei was right. Rias will always have her peerage to gladly fight and suffer with her. Because they were more than servants, but a second family. With those final thoughts, Rias' eyes closed to a soft slumber and the ORC disappeared in blue particles.
So yeah, a lot of shit just went down. I decided to make Rias a Super Devil because I find a bit underpowered in canon and Issei should not be used as a crutch for her. Kiba is only learning Reinforcement magic and not what you're thinking because in all honesty he lacked in strength.
The reason that Issei has one of the Commandments because it is part of his duty as the Goat Sin of Lust. Meliodas indeed does have the Commandments but he needs people to keep them separate, and the only way to do that is with a host.
More will be explained in Chapter 9.
