Chapitre 58: The Battle of the Two Dragons
Ilya's PoV
Father has also finished his fight with the foolish lady earlier. I noticed that his arm was gone.
"Father...! Your arm!" I cried out in shock and concern.
"Hmm? I am fine dont worry about it. I have been meaning to use that mechanical hand I created a while back so its fine." He said with a carefree smile.
It was then that the armor he was wearing disappeared leaving the jewel in his hand.
"Tch. So this is the limit of an artificial Sacred Gear. There's still muchroom for improvement…As long as the core jewel is safe, I can remake it again. I'll have you keep me company a little while longer, [Gigantis Dragon-kun] Fafnir."
The white-armoured Vali descended from the night sky.
"As expected of Azazel. However, your armour has been released. Your artificial Sacred Gears still require more study."
Father then pointed at Vali Onii-chan.
"Now then, Vali. What will you do? Shall I go at it again? Even if I have no armour and am one-handed, I can still fight with you adequately. After all you should have taken much damage from Ilya as well."
Father made a spear of light appear in his hand and pointed the blade at the Hakuryuukou. I also created a pair of swords as well while staggering.
Vali onii-chan glanced at Father who took a fighting stance, and then asked us a question.
"But don't you think that destiny is cruel?"
"I am the one who has inherited the blood of the first generation Maou Lucifer. But, I am a child of mixed blood born from a father who was the grandchild of the old Maou and a human mother. I obtained the [White Dragon] sacred gear because of my half human blood. I have been born as a true kin of Lucifer, and also as the [White Dragon]. You on the other hand was just an ordinary human. Before you became a devil you weren't even a good student in highschool. With the exception of the boosted gear you are nothing." Said Vali Onii-chan referring to Issei.
"Y-You mean me?" Issei pointed at myself. Vali nodded amusedly.
"I investigated you a little. Your father is an ordinary office worker. Your mother sometimes goes out to a part-time job as an ordinary full-time housewife. The blood relatives of both your parents are completely ordinary. There are also no ability-users or practitioners who possessed power among your ancestors. Of course, your ancestors had nothing to do with devils or angels either. You really are ordinary. Your friends aren't special either."
Vali Onii-chan laughed with a pitying expression.
"Boring. When I learned about you, who was so excessively boring, I laughed out of disappointment. 'Ah, so this is my rival. I give up.' If your parents had at least been magicians, then maybe the story would changea bit. That's right! How about this kind of setting? You can become an avenger!"
"Onii-chan, what are you planning..." I muttured listening to Onii-chan.
"I'll kill your parents. If I do that, your personal history will become a little more interesting. If your parents are killed by a valuable existence like me, don't you think you'll be able to openly devote yourself to a solemn destiny? Yeah, I'll do that. After all, your parents will, from now on as well, live ordinarily, grow old ordinarily, and die ordinarily. The setting I spoke of is much more brilliant than such a boring life Right?"
"Onii-chan... thats too cruel..." I said in a sad tone.
I then looked at Issei and saw that he was mad, he was starting to release killing intent. "Ill kill you, you bastard." He cursed out in a quiet voice.
"…Just as you said, my father is an ordinary office worker who works from morning to evening for our family. My mother is an ordinary housewife who makes delicious food for our family morning, noon and evening. However, they raised me up to this point. To me, they're the best parents."
His aura then increased in response to his anger as time passes.
"…Kill them? My father and mother? Why should they have to be mixed up in the situation of someone like you and be killed? As if I know anything about things like valuable or destiny!"
"As if I'll let you do it."
"I'll be damned if I let my parents be killed by the likes of yoooooooou!" Issei yelled out as his aura spread around us.
[Welsh Dragon Over Booster!!!!]
Red armor manifested throughout his body. It was similar to Vali Onii-chan's armor. It was his balance breaker.
Wait so this is what he is planning... he wants to fight Issei on even grounds as much as possible.
"Look, Albion. Hyoudou Issei's power went up by an incomparable amount. The plain and simple reason called rage was the trigger, but this is…Hahahaha, what a dragon's surge."
[Sacred Gears use strong feelings of desire for power. What you're facing is pure rage. Well done this is one of the best ways to drawing out a dragon's power.]
"So what your saying is I'm even better at drawing out his power than he is at being one."
"Yeah, keep talking douchebag!" Yelled out Issei as he jumps towards Vali Onii-chan.
"Ascalon!"
[BLADE!]
A sword then appeared from his gauntlet as he punches towards Vali Onii-chan. Seeing this Vali Onii-chan dodged it.
"Thats the holy dragon slaying sword, Ascalon!" I yelled out in surprise. How can he use that as a devil and a dragon?
"It was a gift from Michael. We have already modified it so Hyoudou Issei can use it." Answered Father who my confusion.
In the sky the battle between the two dragons continued.
[Vali, that sword carries dragon-slaying powers. I wont be able to deflect a single cut from that.]
"Is that so, Albion. However there's no meaning if it doesn't hit!"
The two of them clashed throughout the sky exchanging blow for blow. It was then that Vali onii-chan punched towards Issei in his chest however Issei managed to dodge it.
"...! That technique is [Foresight]!" I yelled out in surprise. I didnt think Nanashi would teach him that technique.
"Whats Foresight?" Asked Father who heard me, the others are also curious hearing my words.
"Its a technique created by one of our comrade Nanashi. It allows one to see through the flow of energy as well as every single detail of their opponent's movement making it possible to predict their next movements. If you master it you would be able to see a few seconds into the future during a fight. However learning it and mastering it is incredibly hard and only a few in Regulus Dominion can even use it. So im surprised Issei managed to learn it from Nanashi." I explained while we watched the fight.
I noticed that Issei could see his opponents movements more clearly as time passed however he still cant perfectly avoid some attacks.
"Then doesn't that mean Issei would have an advantage?" Asked Rias.
"No, what Issei has learned is only the first step towards inside [Foresight], he still hasn't reached the extent to be able to see the flow of energy. He can only see his opponents movements more clearly."
"I have noticed that the Red Dragon Emperor showed only a few openings as well. Which is amazing considering he just awakened his sacred gear and became a devil." Father said in amazement.
"Nanashi trained him that way. She would always strike for his openings with killing intent forcing his body to learn the hard way. He was cut numerous times that his body would reflexively show as few openings as possible. Well the training caused him to have some trauma towards Nanashi. But all in all it managed to make him accustomed to killing intent and show as few opening as possible while also learning the entry level of [Foresight] as a bonus."
Everytime Issei sees Nanashi his body would start shaking while he would turn pale. It was quite funny at first but was somehow concerning as Nanashi felt a bit bad about it.
As we were explaining Vali Onii-chan sent Issei down in the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?" Asked Rias with concern.
"Im ok!" He said while raising thumbs up as he rose back up. He then glared at Vali and yelled out.
".... I cannot lose in front of her!!!"
[BOOST! ]
He then saw that Onii-chan was releasing the excess energy from his wings. It seemed like he has an idea.
"Come on! Come on! give me more!" Onii-chan yelled out as he shoots more magic bullets towards Issei who flied towards him.
"Ddraig, Transfer power to Ascalon!!"
[TRANSFER!]
He then punched the white dragon emperor in the face tearing his helmet off. He then held onto Vali Onii-chan and started to transfer power to him.
"Draig! Transfer power to Vali!"
[TRANSFER!]
"Im gonna boost the crap out of you!!! Eventually your precious wings wont be able to take it anymore!!!" As he yelled he continued to transfer power beyond what Onii-chan can handle.
[Vali, the suit is going into overdrive we must restart the system!] Warned out Albion.
"Feel the power of the Dragon Slayer!" Issei yelled out as he punched Onii-chan for the last time shattering his armor.
"....Hahaha, Your amazing. You blew away my sacred gear. Just what I would expect from my rival!" He said smiling as he coughed up fresh blood.
He then recreated his armor once more and stood back up.
[The battle doesnt end until one of us is made incapable of fighting. That is how we dragons battle. Its no use at this rate, You won't be able to win against a time limit. Run away or you'll die!] Draig warned him.
"I can't leave everyone here!"
[Then, what will you do? The difference in power is still wide. You could do something thanks to the arm band, but with a time limit you wont win.]
"Hey Draig, the sacred gear responds to strong feelings of emotion right?" Said Issei as if he got an idea.
During this time Regina has also regained consciousness. However she is also incapable of fighting strong opponents like me. However she is recovering faster due to Avalon.
[Yeah, thats right... but why are you asking?] Asked Draig.
He then picked up one of the jewels that belonged to Vali Onii-chan's armor earlier.
"What is he planning to do...?" I mutter in confusion.
I then thought of something and was shocked.
"...! Issei thats dangerous! Dont do it!" I yelled out in shock.
However ignoring me he picked up the jewel and raised it up preparing to smash it onto his other hand.
[…Partner, you've sent me quite a dangerous image. But, it's
interesting! We may die, but do you have the resolve?]
"I can't die. I haven't taken Buchou's virginity yet. —If it hurts, I'll endure it! If I can just exceed this damn bastard in front of me with that!"
Even in a time like this he is still thinking of such things?
I thought in surprise.
[FUAHAHAHHAHAHA, That is some nice resolve! Now Ill show you my determination! I am the mass of power known as the red dragon emperor! Let us show them and survive this as true Partners! Issei Hyoudou are you Ready!!!]
"What are you planning?" Onii-chan asked out in confusion.
"I will take your power and make it my own!!!" Yelling out he smashed it in the jewel on his other hand.
"Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! " Issei yelled out in pain as Green and Blue light flicker on his arm.
"! You intend to take in my power?"
Realising what Issei was trying to do, Vali onii-chan showed a shocked expression.
[What a reckless thing to do. Ddraig, we are existences that oppose each other. That is nothing more than an act of self-destruction. —Do you intend to annihilate yourself by doing such a thing?]Albion spoke indifferently.
"Kiba managed it! Holy and Demonic powers he combined it together! So I dont see how I cant do that same!"
Issei yelled out in defiance.
[Guooooooooooooooooh!] Draig was also screaming in pain and laughter as he said.
[Albion! You're as inflexible as always! Over countless eons, we've lodged in hosts and continued to fight each other! It's a repeat of the same thing each and every time!]
[That's right, Ddraig. That is our destiny. Even if our respective hosts are different, the way we fight is the same. You raise power, I steal power. The side that skillfully uses its Sacred Gear deals the finishing blow and it ends.This is how it always has been, and always will be.]
Ddraig gave a fearless laugh at Albion's words.
[Since meeting with this host—with Hyoudou Issei, I have learned one thing! —That anything is possible with determined stupidity!]
"I am the fool and I am proud of it! If I can't fight you with rationality then I will stick to being the idiot till the end!"
He then yelled out on the top of his lungs.
"Respond to my feeliiiiiiiiiiings!"
[Vanishing Dragon Power is taken!!]
White light gathered on his right hand as the previously red gauntlet changed into a white gauntlet.
"…Hehehe, so this is [Dividing Gear]?" He said in a weak voice.
Seeing this Albion was astonished.
"[This is impossible. Such a thing is impossible!]"
"No its is possible, it's only a little, but it's possible. My friend fused together holy and demonic, and produced things like holy demonic swords. It seems it was possible to achieve it because balance has collapsed from the non-existence of God. Well, if I borrow the words of the leader guys, it is as tate where there are things like system errors or program bugs? I just utilised it a little."
[…So you mean you nudged the imperfections of the "Sacred Gear program" and achieved this? No, but such a thing is…Even if you think of that, to actually do it is just foolish. No one knows what will happen with the fusion of opposing powers. When that is something concerning dragons,you might die, you know? No, it would be natural for you to die.]
Albion still couldn't seem to believe it. Even we were astonished that he was able to do such a thing.
"Yeah, it was reckless. —But, I survived." He said in a weak voice.
[However, it certainly made your lifespan shorten. Some Devils live almost forever but you will not be one of them.]
"I have no intention to live for ten thousand years. But, since there are a lotof things I want to do, I'd like to live for at least a thousand years, though."
Even Onii-chan was surprised at what Issei just did. Seeing this Regina let out a smile and said to Vali Onii-chan.
"Onii-chan, I have told you before... do not underestimate your rival. He may surprise you."
Onii-chan then claps his hands in acknowledment.
"Yes, you are correct! Now let us continue this battle. I'll get a little more serious."
He then spread his wings wide.
"[Half Dimension!]"
He then started to warp the dimensions once more like what he did during our fight earlier.
"Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei. Let me clearly explain it to you."
Father spoke to explain to Issei who looked confused.
"That ability halves everything in his surroundings. In other words, if the Hakuryuukou became serious, then Rias Gremory's bust will also behalved."
Hearing that we were speechless.
""What?!""
Issei upon hearing that stopped moving for a second.
"Don't fuck with
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!"
That worked?!
"You bastard! Buchoooooou's! So you intend to halve the size of my Buchou's breeeeeeeeeeeeeeasts!!"
[Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!]
"Wait what?!" Onii-chan looked confuse as to what he just heard.
Voices from the jewels on various places of Issei's armour repeatedly resounded.
"I won't forgive you! You're the one person I absolutely won't forgive! I'll knock you down! I'll destroy you! Valiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
[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 surroundings flew off! The ground Issei was standing on was also greatly gouged out and changed into a crater.
[Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!]
The windows of the old school building completely cracked, and the outer wall was collapsing.
[Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!]
[Booooost!!!!]
His whole body was wrapped in the greatest mass of aura it had ever had.
"Ahahaha! What the heck is that!? Seriously! His dragon power sprang up because his master's breasts might become smaller!" Father is laughing his ass off as the whole surroundings were being destroyed and sent flying due to the power Issei is releasing.
"What the hell?" I am speechless at what I am seeing.
"[Projection : Aegis!]" I called out as a golden shield appeared in front of us to keep us from being sent flying back.
Regina has also deployed most of the shields from her treasury. She also looked speechless at this battle.
Everyone also looked speechless at this and deployed their own defenses.
"Just try to make a move on Rias Gremory! I'll thoroughly destroy you to the point where you won't be able to reincarnate agaaaaaaain! You halving maniaaaaaaaaaaaac!!"
"Today has been full of surprises but at least it is not boring." He said in a delightful tone.
Issei then disappeared and appeared at Onii-chan's side and kicked him flying.
"U- So fast! Such speed!" He yelled out in shock.
"This is for Buchou's breasts!" He yelled out as he punched Vali Onii-chan in the chest.
[Divide!]
"Guha!" Onii-chan who was hit spewed out some bile as he was hit in the abdomen.
"For Akeno's huge honkers!!!" He yelled out as he headbutted Vali Onii-chan breaking both of their helmets.
"For Asia who is still growing!!!" He yelled out as he kneed him in the abdomen.
"For Xenovia's killer tits!!!" He yelled out as he kicked Vali Onii-chan up in the air.
"For Koneko's breasts!!! You can't Divide them!!! The only thing remaining would be poor loneliness!!!" He yelled out as he sent Vali onii-chan flying back to the ground.
"…Interesting. Truly interesting."Said Onii-chan with a smile on his face.
[Vali, I finished analysing his halving power. When compared with the
control method of your power, you can handle it.]
"I see. I'm not afraid of him with this."
Issei looked shock as he could still stand after all that.
"Albion, do you think he's worthy enough to show the Hakuryuukou's
[Juggernaut Drive] if it's the current Hyoudou Issei?"
[Vali, it's not a good choice in this place. If you recklessly enter "Juggernaut Drive", Ddraig's curse may be removed.]
"It'll all work out, Albion. —[I, who am about to awaken, am the heavenly dragon—]"
Shit this is bad! Issei wont be able to handle the juggernaut drive!
[Don't act rashly, Vali! Is it your desire to be at the mercy of my power!?]
Cried out Albion in shock as it was not the best course of action. I also agree as if he waited Issei would time out.
"Ilya! We need to move now." Said Regina who got up as well.
Hearing that I nodded as I knew this would be bad.
"Wait! Regina your in no condition to fight!" Said Kiba in concern towards Regina.
"I agree the both of you won't be a match at your current state."
"Even so..." Regina muttured as she retrieved Regulus from her treasury.
"[Balance Break!]" She yelled out as golden armor manifested aroud her. Golden aura covered her body.
"[Divine Dress!]" I also manifested my divine dress. A silver glow manifested around my body.
We then proceeded to enter our regalia's second verse.
"Illuminate the ages, For the time has come! Now Roar, [Neo Regulus!]"
"Open the gate of knowledge and wisdom, [Neo Elias Codex!]"
We then dashed towards Issei's side ignoring the concerns of our comrades behind us. Preparing to engage in battle. I have already manifested Kuromaru and Shirogane. While Regina took out Solis Catastrophe.
However it was at this moment that the barrier around us broke as an unknown individual entered the fray.
"Eh? Regina-san, Ilya-san." Issei was shocked by our appearance.
"Vali, I've come for you." The individual was a young man with a fresh looking face. He was wearing armour that would be worn bya military commander of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
"Bikou, what brings you here." Vali Onii-chan asks while wiping blood from his mouth.
"Isn't that cruel? I made a long journey and came all the way to this island country because my partner is in a pinch, you know? The other guys were making a fuss at headquarters, you know? Those from Phantom have already retreated as well as the magicians.
It is now time to fight the northern earth Gods, You were supposed to flee and return right away if the mission failed, right? Katera failed to assassinate the leaders, right? In that case your observation role is also over. Let us return now."
"…I see, so it's already time."
"Who are you?" Regina asked in a cold voice. The man called Bikou then noticed us along with Issei.
"—He's the descendent of the Victorious Fighting Buddha."
The one who answered was Father who arrived behind us.
"Let me say it with a name that you can grasp. He's Son Goku. The famous damn monkey in the Journey to the West."
"Son Goku?!?!" Yelled out Issei in shock.
"To say it correctly, he is a monkey youkai that has inherited Son Goku's
power. However, it really is the end of the world if even you have joined the
[Khaos Brigade]. Although I have to say the Son Goku and the White Dragon Emperor do look good together."
"So he is this generation's Sun Wukong..." I said while looking at the two of them.
However he just chuckled and said
"I'm different from the first generation that became a Buddha. I just live doing as I like. My name is Bikou. Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei as well as..."
"My younger sisters, Regina and Ilya." He said introducing the two of us.
"Ah!! No wonder they look familiar they should be the Golden Princess and Silver Princess from Regulus Dominion. I didn't expect to meet this generation's King of Heroes like this as well as the Great Bogatyr's Successor."
"Well its time for us to go... see ya!" Saying so Darkness spread from below them. It seized Vali onii-chan and Bikou, and made them completely sink into it.
"Onii-chan, here." Regina then threw something at him while he disappeared.
"Ah! Wait!" Issei tried to stop them but fell down as the armor disappears.
We also dispersed our forms and reverted back to normal. Regina returns her weapons to her treasury while I dematerialized mine absorbing the mana back into my body. Issei collapsed down from fatigue while the two of us let out a breathe of exhaustion.
