Chapter 21 : Battle

"What are you a monster? Where did you get all that power?" Raynare demanded seeing that her attacks were almost nullified

"While you were sucking dicks and laying around I was training so that I can become as strong as I can you little crow."

He answered as he dodged a few more attacks sent his way from now fuming Fallen-Devil hybrid.

"Why You! I'm going to make you pay for that you little cockroach!" Raynare yelled as she started bombarding him with all she had, Issei was overwhelmed by the sheer number of spears and spells that he had to dodge.

And every time he got hit it hurt him a lot. He knew he had to finish this quickly or Raynare would brutalize him with the amount of power she was realising.

As he dodged, he started to gather energy in his armored palm reading it for a moment where he can spot a presentable site to him to unleash his Dragon Shot that would surely secure him enough time to cross the distance between them and make her surrender.

After a few more seconds he found an opening and let loose his ultimate attack.

DRAGON SHOT

He fired his attack just in time as more than fifteen spears were near him.

His attack completely obliterated every single spear that was in its path as it hurled toward Raynare, who seeing it put the strongest barrier she could muster.

It was all for nothing as the blast ripped through it like a hot knife through butter. Raynare took the attack head-on and was sent again flying, landing 50 meters away from the spot where she stood.

She was drained from it as she was left unconscious. Issei was on his knees after that fight that took a lot more out of him, since he made that attack strong enough to destroy her barrier that he would admit was powerful.

"Bravo, that was an excellent fight Ise. Kiba please wake Raynare up, she also fought well against a power type like Ise."

Rias applauded as her Knight went to wake Raynare up and help her come back to the group.

"Well done Raynare you made me proud. You manage to endure and even damage Ise in this fight.

You come a long way from when we met." Rias told her gently as she patted Raynare on the head.

"Yeah, but still not enough to beat him," Raynare spoke to her.

"Well don't sell yourself short, he did have a head start on you and from the looks of him, he had to put out a lot of power in his last attack.

Get some rest now. We have only a day or two to train before the game." She encourages her Bishop knowing what is like to have your attack do so little damage.

Next was the Knight vs Rock as they showed a very intensive fight that finished in Koneko's victory, do to Kibas small durability and her brutal punches that were on par with Issei's with about two to three boosts.

Finally, it was the grand finale as King and Queen duck it out. It was a fight full of magic of all kinds. Rias tried to overpower Akeno but every time it looked like she was about to be a victor Akeno manage to pull a quick surprise attack on her King. In the end, it was decided to call it a draw.

As no one was able to tell which would be a victor after half an hour of magic battle, leaving both teens tired.

This combat practice continued for the last part of the trip. With changing partners for more efficiency.

The last day of the trip it was decided that it would be a day to relax and to return all the stamina and energy that was lost and to everyone get closer to each other and have fun.

That last day was almost torture to Issei, as both Akeno and Raynare tested him with their provocative body's that made it very hard for Issei to not lose all of his self-control (which wasn't much) to get on both of them even if he was in a bad relationship with one of them.

Rias also join in "Fuck Issei's Mind" fun as she started showing him all her body had to offer which made his nose bleed and his brain to go offline.

The day after his torture "pleasure" was the day that they were waiting for, the day of the big match. The match that will determent Rias Gremory's fate.

As Issei entered the ORC building he privately felt anxiety that was building up. In the clubroom, everyone was doing there on things as they were waiting for the battle to start.

Koneko was strapping her fingerless gloves that had a cat's paw on them, Kiba was polishing his sword, Raynare was making and dispelling her spear's of light while his King and Queen were casually drinking their tea and talking about some other things.

Issei decided to take a seat on one of the sofas that were in the room and have a quick conversation with his pal Ddraig.

'So do you think Ddraig, do we have a chance in this battle?' Issei mentally asks his partner which was rearing to have a good battle.

['Yes Partner, there is always a way to beat someone, everyone has a weakness that can be exploited. You just have to find it. '] Answered the mighty Red Dragon Emperor.

'Yeah, but what if we are not strong enough to exploit it?' Question Issei as he felt that even now that he can boost up to 30 times it was still not enough to beat someone of a Riser's caliber.

['You need to believe in yourself, Partner. If you wish to go up and free your self then you need to start proving to everyone that your not just someone that got lucky, to have me.']

Ddraig spoke as he also hated to be under someone's control as much as his host. But Ise needed to overcome this obstacle in front of him to be able to move up.
