The Testament of the Rosario DxD: Issei hyoudou the Makai Knight

by hoou224

After Issei triumphed over Riser Phoenix in the contest for Rias Gremory's hand, he faced a shocking betrayal from Y/n Hater and Sirzechs. This treachery not only forced Rias into a marriage with Y/n Hater but also resulted in the theft of his sacred gear, the Boosted Gear, leaving him to perish. Fortunately, Ddraig had sealed a fragment of her life force within him. As he lay in t

[ Fem Ddraig]

Once, there was a wicked entity that humanity feared... He faced off against the messiah, the embodiment of all the nightmares haunting the world. The messiah felt fear in his presence, yet she managed to triumph over him... For a long time, his spirit drifted aimlessly through the void. But eventually, he was reborn as the very thing he despised the most: Light. He remembers nothing of his former life, but he will experience both hope and despair. Will he rise above his dark past and the evil still lurking within him, or will he allow the shadows to consume his newfound light?

The female dragon of Domination bellowed, "Balance Breaker Scale Mail!" A boy with chestnut brown hair grinned and raised his hand high.

"Hell yeah, let's go!" he yelled, as an ethereal green light began to envelop him. When the glow faded, he stood there in striking red scaly armor that resembled a dragon. The crowd gasped in disbelief, witnessing the newest and least powerful pawn of Rias Gremory pull off a forbidden technique. Meanwhile, Riser Phenix maintained his smug, arrogant grin, dismissing Rias's pawn as insignificant, even with his newfound power.

Riser smirked with an air of arrogance. "So, kid! You really think you can take me down with that weak balance breaker? Think again! Once I'm done wiping the floor with you, I'll be celebrating with my new wife," he said, licking his lips to provoke Issei into making a mistake. Rias wrapped her arms around herself, feeling both disgusted and scared by Riser's words. Even if he won, there was no way she would ever let him touch her, much less hold his gross hand.

With a fierce glare, Issei retorted, "Not a chance! I won't allow your filthy hands anywhere near the president. Let's wrap this up, you cheap take-out yakitori!" A smirk played on his lips beneath the helmet. Rias felt a warmth spread across her cheeks at Issei's protective words, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her, leaving her in a state of confusion. She placed a hand over her heart and softly murmured her beloved pawn's name.

"Oh, Ise," Rias said, a small smile gracing her lips. Unbeknownst to her, both of her parents were watching her with disapproving glares. They were deeply disappointed, fully aware of how crucial this wedding was for their kind, yet she still refused to marry Riser. Noticing their daughter's flushed expression, they followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at her pawn, the current red dragon emperor. Their anger began to fade as they recognized the advantages of having the red dragon emperor as their son-in-law.

"Well, I guess having the red dragon emperor as a son-in-law wouldn't be so bad, said Zeoticus before stroking his beard and smirking. Nodding her head, Venelana also started to voice her opinion.

Fufufufufufufufu~! Absolutely, my dear! Perhaps we should just call off the engagement. It appears our daughter has developed a fascination with the current Red Dragon Emperor, Venelana remarked, casting a playful smirk at Rias. Rias turned crimson, quickly hiding her face in embarrassment. The Phenix family wore expressions of disappointment and discontent. They viewed this wedding as a serious matter, especially with the pure devils facing extinction. They had hoped Rias would step up, making a sacrifice for the greater good and the future of devil society, despite their son being an arrogant, self-absorbed individual. They believed Rias might be able to change him, but it seems she has no desire to do so, let alone marry him. Consequently, Mr. Phenix, Mrs. Phenix, and their elder son Ruvel all wore grim faces. They had invested so much time and money into the preparations for the ceremony, only for it to be jeopardized by the current Red Dragon Emperor's announcement. Mr. Phenix turned to his old friend with a desperate expression, attempting to persuade him to rethink the situation.

"Z-Zeoticus! Are you really serious right now?! What about the future of the pure-blooded devils?! I understand that Riser can be quite off-putting at times," but—[Interrupted by Rias.]

"What do you mean 'at times'?! He's the absolute worst!" Rias shouted, her eyes fixed on Mr. Phenix with a fierce glare. Mr. Phenix frowned but pressed on.

"As I mentioned, Riser can be... rather unpleasant occasionally, but with your influence, Rias, I truly believe you can help bring out his better qualities," Mr. Phenix said in a composed manner. Rias's glare remained steadfast as she delivered her final response to the head of the Phenix family.

"In all do respect Mr. Phenix, but my answer is no. I have no interest in Riser, and I highly doubt he will change... And honestly, I think this will only boost his ego. He is arrogant, brash, rude, and a sexist bastard!" Spat Rias. All the pure-blooded devils just stared at the two families with skeptical looks on their faces. And in all honesty, they pity Rias. Everyone in the devil society especially the high-class devils. The only reason why they agreed with the elders was that they were afraid of their own daughters being paired up with the second son of the Phenix clan.

Sighing, Mr. Phenix just gave up on this conversation. It really didn't matter at this point, because he knew Riser would surely win this fight. The boy might be the current Red Dragon emperor, but he doesn't have the experience, or power to defeat Riser. So this will be an easy win. Soon Rias and Riser will be married, and the Red Dragon will be under the control of the Phenix clan.

Scene Change

Riser and Issei were locked in a fierce exchange, neither willing to back down. Riser delivered a powerful punch to Issei's midsection, prompting a small grunt of pain from him. Issei took a step back, trying to create some space while cradling his slightly bruised stomach.

"Five minutes left, partner. Stop fooling around and get serious. We dragons don't toy with our prey," Ddraig urged, her patience wearing thin as she wanted to wrap up the fight quickly. With a determined nod, Issei began to close the distance to Riser, who responded with a smug smirk.

"Listen up, kid. Just throw in the towel. If you do, I might even let you have my Rook, Xuelan; she seems to have taken a liking to you," Riser said. Gasps erupted from his peerage as they exchanged glances with their fellow servant. Xuelan's cheeks flushed, and she quickly covered her face with her hands, feeling shy in front of her friends. Issei pointed at himself, looking surprised. Xuelan nodded eagerly before dashing out of the venue where the wedding was taking place. Rias frowned, already sensing that Issei would choose Xuelan. After all, his dream was to be the harem king. Tears welled up in her eyes, but just as they were about to fall, Issei spoke up, causing her heart to race.

"And!? Do you really think I would betray the president for a bribe? How dare you! The president means everything to me, far more than my ambition to be a harem king. If Pres—no, if Rias Gremory isn't by my side... then I don't want to be a harem king. To me, she's more than a master, more than a friend; she's someone truly special. I won't let you or anyone else lay a finger on her. Because... I LOVE HER!" Issei shouted.

The entire underworld was taken aback by Issei's heartfelt confession. The Orc couldn't help but grin at Issei's bold declaration of love for their master. Meanwhile, the Phenix family, with the exception of Mrs. Phenix, collectively rolled their eyes. Greyfia wore a smile, pleased that her sister-in-law had finally found a man who truly cherished her. Rias clutched her chest, tears beginning to stream down her face. With a sudden burst of energy that surprised her parents and the other high-class devils present, she stood up.

"Then win, Issei! Defeat Riser, and... make me yours! Only yours!" Rias declared, her tears a testament to her overwhelming joy. She had always found Issei attractive, but she had assumed he was only drawn to her physical appearance. It turned out she had misjudged him; her prince charming had been right in front of her all along. The high-class devils at the wedding began to feel sympathy for Rias. The reality was that the current Red Dragon Emperor faced an uphill battle against Riser, who had a long history of victories in rating games. Some attendees even chuckled at Rias for pinning her hopes on someone they deemed weak. The crowd's skepticism about the Red Dragon Emperor was palpable, and their doubts were shared among them.

I feel for the kid, but honestly, he should just throw in the towel... There's no way he can take down Riser, remarked a random high-class devil. The woman beside him nodded in agreement, echoing his sentiment.

"Absolutely, it's such a shame... Watching young love come to such a heartbreaking end is just too much to bear... I think the Red Dragon Emperor and the Princess of Ruin have a much nicer ring to them than the Immortal Phoenix and the Princess of Ruin," the female high-class devil said with a sigh. Just then, another guy stood up, preparing to leave.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" one of the high-class devils called out. The departing man turned back, offering a wry smile before responding to his friend.

I understand your perspective, but I have to disagree. That kid is risking everything—his freedom and possibly his life—just to be with Gremory-sama. Sure, you might argue that he's the Red Dragon Emperor, but if you genuinely believe that a newly reincarnated devil who has just awakened his sacred gear can truly stand as an ultimate-class devil from the Phoenix clan, then I can't support that view, the high-class devil stated before walking away. This left several high-class devils at the wedding feeling a pang of guilt for witnessing the conflict.

Back with Riser and Issei

Issei is taking a severe beating. Even after reaching his balance breaker, it still falls short. Meanwhile, Riser appears somewhat annoyed. While he enjoys the compliments from his fellow high-class devils regarding his power, he can't help but notice that all their admiration and enthusiasm are directed towards Rias's frail pawn.

Issei Pov

My body ached intensely, as if countless tiny needles were relentlessly piercing my skin. My vision was so blurred that Riser appeared as a mere shadow. The green gem on my gauntlet began to glow, signaling that Ddraig had finally gathered enough power to take down the Phenix.

Riser was preparing to unleash a colossal fireball aimed straight at me, his eyes filled with a seething hatred and contempt.

"I had intended to spare you, to keep you as my personal servant, relishing in your despair as I took your beloved Buucho for myself every single day. But now, all I desire is your death," Riser spat before launching the enormous fireball toward Issei. I stood frozen, awaiting Ddraig's command.

The female heavenly dragon bellowed, "Now, partner! Finish him!" I lifted my head, harnessing the last surge of power Ddraig had granted me, and drove my fist hard into Riser's abdomen. His expression shifted to one of shock, leaving him oblivious to the veil of water I discreetly retrieved from my pocket, which I then amplified with the boosted gear. I hurled the holy water at Riser, eliciting a scream of agony from him.

"ARRRRRGHHHHHHH!" Riser howled, stumbling back as he instinctively shielded his face from the burning liquid. Without hesitation, I charged at him again, landing another devastating punch to his gut that forced a spray of blood from his mouth.

"Asia taught me that holy water and crosses are a devil's Achilles' heel," I declared, unleashing a flurry of punches aimed at Riser's face.

Riser began to retreat, unable to maintain his position after enduring a fierce onslaught from the Red Dragon emperor. In a moment of desperation, he conjured a wall of flames, hoping to create some space between himself and Issei. The fiery barrier worked, pushing Issei back and singeing his clothes in the process. Issei clenched his teeth, preparing to unleash a dragon shot, but Ddraig intervened.

[Partner, hold on. Don't waste energy recklessly, especially since we're unsure of the enemy's next move, the wise Dragon cautioned.

Issei acknowledged Ddraig's wisdom and took a moment to regroup. Emerging from the swirling flames was an enraged Riser, his face marred with burns and swelling from the repeated blows he had taken from Issei.

With his hands raised high, Riser began to harness the powers of wind and fire magic, forming a massive sphere that resembled a blazing sun hovering above the High-class devil.

HOW DARE YOU LAY A FINGER ON ME, YOU WORTHLESS SCUM! I, RISER PHENIX, WILL CRUSH YOUR PATHETIC EXISTENCE RIGHT HERE AND NOW! PREPARE TO BE TURNED TO ASHES, YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A LIZARD! Riser roared, hurling the colossal orb of annihilation at Issei.

Listen up, partner! In your current state, victory seems out of reach. However, if you were to sacrifice another part of your body, you might just stand a chance against him, Ddraig declared.

Issei shut his eyes momentarily, a smirk creeping onto his face.

Serious* "You don't even have to ask! I've said it before: I'd do anything for her. Take my left arm, take my sight—none of it matters. If it's for her, I'd willingly give up everything."

A woman adorned with red dragon scales began to close her eyes, a small smile forming on her lips.

Oh, Issei. I can't help but be drawn to you. Here I am, the dragon of domination, developing feelings for a seemingly weak reincarnated devil who lacks demonic power, yet is my wielder and has a bit of a perverted side, Ddraig mused affectionately, lightly touching her lips with a finger.

With a sultry smile* [Perfect! Then surrender everything to me—your body, your soul, your mind; I desire it all, Issei!] the female Dragon bellowed.

Issei merely smirked as crimson flames began to envelop him.

Smirking* "Absolutely!" Issei declared, as draconic armor began to envelop his entire form in a striking crimson jade hue. Moments later, the light faded, unveiling Issei in his new scale mail, showcasing his latest transformation.

Back with the high-class devils

The entire Underworld was left in shock as they witnessed Issei deliver an unforgettable thrashing to Riser. However, when the young Phoenix heir began to gather an enormous sphere of energy, despair washed over everyone, and they feared for the fate of the young Sekiryuutei. Except for one individual. Seated in her chair, gripping the fabric of her white dress, was none other than Rias Gremory.

She was filled with anxiety over Issei, guilt churning in her stomach. The evidence of his brutal beating was clear, with charred marks marring his skin. He was gasping for breath, and after the numerous boosts he had executed that day, his body must have been utterly exhausted. Just as she was about to call off the match, she caught sight of the fierce determination burning in Issei's eyes.

Unbeknownst to her and the spectators, Issei's power surged to an unprecedented level, unveiling a new set of draconic armor.

"That armor...! It resembles Belzard's, the former Red Dragon Emperor!" exclaimed one of the older high-class devils.

The onlookers from the underworld were left in utter shock at the mention of the previous Sekiryuutei.

"...He would push himself that far...? Just for her? He must be in excruciating pain," remarked a woman in a maid outfit. Next to her stood a young girl dressed as a magical girl, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement, and her long, dark hair cascading down her back.

"Yes, I initially thought he would collapse at any moment after all those boosts in the last 15 minutes, but I was clearly mistaken. I never expected him to break through his limits and evolve the boosted gear. By the way, Greyfia, where is Sirzechs?" asked the raven-haired beauty, taking a sip of her drink.

Greyfia, the maid, recoiled at the mention of her husband's name. The high-class devil, Serafall, noticed her best friend's reaction and frowned slightly, fully aware of the underlying reason for it, and feeling displeased.

"I'm not sure, Lady Serafall... He mentioned he had some urgent matters to attend to, but promised he would return in time for the match between Issei Hyoudou and Lord Riser Phenix," Greyfia replied, her hands trembling in fear at the sound of that name.

Serafall, the high-class devil, placed a comforting hand on Greyfia's shoulder.

"You know you don't have to stay with him, right? If you ever feel the need, you and Millicas are always welcome to stay with me—"

"No! I-I mean... I'm okay... Lady Serafall, that won't be necessary," Greyfia interrupted, clenching her fist tightly.

Serafall frowned but chose to set aside her concerns until after the battle was over.

Back with Issei and Riser

Riser felt a twinge of fear as he sensed the overwhelming power radiating from Issei. The new Balance Breaker, Scale Mail armor, did little to alleviate the anxiety coursing through the second son of the Phenix clan. Despite his instincts urging him to retreat, his arrogance held him back; he couldn't accept that he, a high-class devil, was being outmatched by what he perceived as Rias's weakest servant.

"So, you really think that your little power-up can take me down?! HUH!" Riser bellowed in frustration. Issei remained silent, not uttering a word.

Riser's teeth clenched in fury.

'How dare he disregard me! I am Riser Phenix, the future head of the Phenix clan, and this lowly reincarnated devil dares to ignore me!' he seethed internally.

"FINE THEN! THIS WORKS IN MY FAVOR, AT LEAST I WON'T HAVE—" Riser's words were cut short as Issei's armored gauntlet collided with his face, sending him hurtling across the arena.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Riser screamed, agony shooting through him as his jaw dislocated.

With astonishing speed, Issei charged toward Riser, moving so quickly that even some high-class devils struggled to track him. In an instant, he was behind Riser, delivering a powerful kick to the back of his neck that echoed with a sickening crack.

Every damn high-class devil flinched when they heard that sickening crack from Riser's neck. The Phoenix family was in a total panic over Riser's condition. Ravel shot up from her chair and zoomed toward her brother like a bat out of hell.

"Ravel! No!" Mr. Phoenix yelled, but it was already too late. She reached her brother and threw her arms out in a desperate attempt to shield him.

"I-I won't let you—" But before she could finish her damn sentence, a green energy field blasted her back, knocking her out cold.

"RAVEL! NO! RED DRAGON EMPEROR, YOU SON OF A BITCH, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SISTER—" Riser's rant was cut short when Issei's armored leg slammed into his gut, sending him flying through the air.

Gesturing his finger like a gun, a green aura started to surround him before taking the shape of two twin dragons.

[BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST![BOOST!]

The small, concentrated energy began to expand in size every ten seconds, and Issei's eyes shifted to a dark jade-green hue.

"Give up, Riser... This is my final request," Issei said ominously. Riser steadied himself in mid-air, glaring at Issei with a fierce hatred burning in his eyes.

"NEVER, YOU BASTARD! RIAS WILL BE MINE! ALL MINE HAHAHAH!" Riser cackled, charging up his own attack.

Sighs* "Then prepare to die... {Double Twin Dragon Jade Wave}!" Issei shouted, unleashing a green energy wave that morphed into twin dragons as it hurtled toward Riser. The look of horror on Riser's face was unmistakable; he realized he had made a grave mistake. The two green dragons roared as they collided with Riser, resulting in a massive explosion that sent a cloud of smoke billowing into the air.

The high-class devils watching the battle were left in shock, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed. Issei Hyoudou, the Sekiryuutei of this generation and Rias Gremory's pawn, had defeated Riser Phenex. The Phenex family was in disbelief, grappling with the reality that one of their own had been vanquished, possibly even dead.

Meanwhile, Rias beamed with joy, joined by Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno, as they started to approach Issei. However, they halted in their tracks when the smoke began to clear.

As the haze dissipated, Rias's once-bright smile transformed into confusion and then horror. Issei Hyoudou was impaled by a black great sword through his stomach, with a hand protruding from his chest.

Play Paradisaical Predicaments

Cough, cough, cough. "Y-You two... What are you doing? I thought—"

"Oh! You really think I would allow some lowly scum to date my sister? Sorry, kid, but even if you were the Red Dragon Emperor, I won't let the Gremory name be sullied." Issei turned to confront his next betrayer. Tears streamed down his face as he recognized the one who had turned against him; rage surged within him, a reminder of this deep betrayal.

"Don't make me laugh! Friends with you? I've always despised you, Issei! From the very beginning, my only goal was to take everything from you!" The mysterious voice declared, driving the massive sword deeper into Issei's abdomen.

"Aaaraghhhh! ArraGaAHAGaAAA!" Issei screamed in agony.

"Rias, the Boosted Gear, everything will belong to me. A pervert like you doesn't deserve any of it," the voice sneered, yanking the sword out of Issei.

"ISSEI, NO! Y/n, you traitor! How could you do this to us?!" Kiba yelled, his eyes burning with rage.

Y/n looked at Kiba with contempt, but as he was about to pull the Boosted Gear from Issei's soul, he noticed Rias, utterly shattered and in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the chaos around her.

"Y/n... What have you... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Rias sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Y/n responded with a disarming smile.

"Don't worry, Rias! This garbage won't bother you anymore, RIGHT, GARBAGE?!" Y/n taunted, delivering a harsh kick to Issei's gut, making him cough up blood.

"What are you saying?! Issei never bothered me, he never did anything wrong!" Rias replied, bewildered.

Grinning Madly* "Rias, you don't need to pretend; if that were true, you wouldn't be staring at me instead of him all the time!" Y/n declared, his smile growing more unsettling. For the first time in ages, Rias felt a chill of fear.

"Enough, Y/n. We don't have time for this. Help me retrieve the Boosted Gear—" But before Sirzechs could finish, he had to leap aside to avoid a sudden surge of water. His glare softened slightly when he recognized the source of the attack: Serafall Leviathan, who was clearly furious.

Furious and Perplexed* "Sirzechs! What have you done!? You didn't just kill one of our own; you took out the current Red Dragon Emperor!" Serafall exclaimed.

"Oh, come on, Serafall. This was the only way to ensure that our kind remains stronger than the four factions, and you know it! We can't rely on a wild card like him, so it's better to give the Boosted Gear to someone we can trust," Sirzechs explained.

Squinting* "And you think Issei Hyoudou is untrustworthy?! The very same person who has remained devoted to your sister since she rescued him?!" Serafall retorted.

Sirzechs covered his face with his hands, exasperated by the need to justify himself.

"He's loyal to my sister, not to ME!" Sirzechs replied, irritation creeping into his tone.

"And how can he not be—"

"ENOUGH! I am your King! You will follow my orders, now step aside," Sirzechs bellowed.

Shutting Eyes* "Fine. Just remember, you're making a grave error, Sirzechs," Serafall said before turning to leave.

"Nii-san! Please, no! I love him! Why are you doing this?!" Rias cried out. Sirzechs offered Rias a sorrowful smile.

"It's just a fleeting infatuation, sister. Once you spend time with Y/n, everything will change," Sirzechs assured her before striding over to Issei and thrusting his hand into Issei's chest once more.

"AAAAAAAArgghaHAAAaAaAAAAAAAAAAA!" Issei screamed before losing consciousness. Y/N couldn't help but smile at Issei's cries.

"Now, let's retrieve the Boosted Gear," Sirzechs declared as a jade green light enveloped Issei's body.

Issei's Mind

[Issei, please wake up!, a feminine voice urged. As he opened his eyes, Issei found himself staring at a stunning woman adorned with dragon scales.

"Ddraig? What's going on—," Issei began, but Ddraig pressed a finger to his lips to silence him.

[Issei, we don't have time... You're in danger. I need you to trust me, alright?!, Ddraig said, her expression serious.

Determined* "Alright, but can you at least share your plan with me?" Issei asked.

It seems they are attempting to sever the bond between you and your soul, much like what they did to your nun friend. Clearly, you won't make it through this ordeal. These traitors are unaware that they cannot tap into my power, as they lack the essence of a dragon soul. But let's set that aside; my intention is to take the dragon-infused body parts and transfer them into your heart. You will shed your devilish nature and return to being fully human, but with the strength of a dragon... This is my final gift to you, Issei... I love you, said Fem Ddraig before kissing Issei and disappearing.

"DDRAIG, NO!" Issei bellowed.

Witness the might of one of the 13th Longinus, the Boosted Gear, proclaimed Sirzech with a mischievous grin.

"What are you waiting for?! Quickly transfer the Boosted Gear to me!" exclaimed Y/n, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. Sirzech nodded and promptly channeled the power of the Boosted Gear to Y/n.

With a sinister smile* "Now!" Y/n declared, summoning the Boosted Gear. "I am the new Red Dragon EMPEROR! Who shall be my first test subject?" His gaze fell upon a battered Riser, struggling to rise.

"Oh, this is perfect," Y/n said, pointing his finger as he prepared to unleash Issei's ultimate technique.

"{Dragon Shot!}" Y/n bellowed, but nothing happened. Sirzech narrowed his eyes, waiting for Y/n to finish off Riser. Frustrated, Y/n clenched his teeth and tried again.

"I. Said. {DRAGON SHOTTTTT!}" he shouted, but still, nothing occurred.

Laughs* "HahaHAHahahaHA! Tough luck, you traitor! Looks like your plan backfired," Issei taunted as he pulled himself up. Y/n froze, fists clenched, facing the furious Issei Hyoudou.

Growls* "How are you still alive?! It doesn't matter; I will end this right now!" Y/n shouted, grabbing his great sword and charging at Issei.

Issei closed his eyes, bracing for the worst.

'Sorry, Ddraig... I barely lived a moment, and now I'm about to die,' he thought, waiting for the blade to strike. To his surprise, he felt nothing. Opening his eyes, he saw a White Knight wielding a massive scimitar, effortlessly blocking the great sword. Turning around, he faced Issei.

Back in the real world

"Are you alright... Issei?" asked the armored hero. Issei simply nodded, still in awe of the scene unfolding before him.

"Yeah, but who—"

"There's no time for explanations! Quickly, get to my horse!" urged the white knight. Issei nodded again, casting a glance back at Rias and his other friends.

"I swear I'll come back for all of you," Issei promised before leaping onto the horse. Once he was securely seated, the white knight executed a stunning backflip, landing effortlessly beside him.

"YAAAH!" shouted the white knight as the horse surged forward, racing out of the underworld.

Human world

Issei Hyoudou lay on the ground, blood pouring from his wounds as the rain fell relentlessly around him. The weight of his loss was unbearable; Ddraig and Rias, the two most important people in his life, were gone. As he struggled to grasp the reality of his situation, a figure approached. The white Knight removed his helmet, unveiling the face of a man in his middle years. Issei's heart raced in disbelief at the sight before him.

"Uncle Jirio..."

And thus begins my new tale... the saga of Issei Hyoudou, the Makai Knight.

TO BE CONTINUED.
