Yet again, Issei emerged unscathed, laughing heartily. "Looks like you're still not getting it, Riser."

Suddenly, Issei released his grip on Yubelluna and delivered a powerful punch to the back of her head, rendering her unconscious. "You won't want to see this, babe," he said, his voice laced with concern.

Sona announced, "Riser's queen retired," the concern evident in her voice.

Issei's body emanated an even more potent aura as he took a deep breath. In the next instant, he unleashed a powerful torrent of dragonfire towards Riser and Ravel's location, making it clear that their showdown was far from over. The battlefield trembled under the weight of their fierce clash, and the fate of the opponents hung in the balance.

Ravel couldn't bring herself to intervene as she dashed out of the trajectory of Issei's destructive attack.

On the other hand, Riser stubbornly attempted to counter Issei's powerful flames with his own, but the outcome was inevitable. Issei's darker red flames overwhelmed Riser's orange ones, resulting in cataclysmic destruction that consumed the entire Rating Game battleground.

The once-bustling field was now a scene of apocalypse, with red light illuminating the darkened skies.

The overwhelming energy and pressure forced Rias, Koneko, Gasper, and Ravel to their knees, witnessing the incredible display of power before them. Although Riser survived the attack, he appeared to be recovering slowly as Issei approached him, taunting the injured phoenix about his supposed invincibility. Riser attempted to retaliate with a blast of power, but Issei swiftly caught him and gripped his arm with an intent to incapacitate him further.

"Let's see how quickly you regenerate from this," Issei said with a sinister edge.

Riser cried out in agony as Issei systematically broke his arm in multiple places, exploiting the phoenix's regenerative abilities to inflict an endless loop of pain. The sight of such brutality horrified Rias, Gasper, Koneko, and Ravel, unable to bear the relentless assault.

"Give up, or we'll continue," Issei hissed, throwing Riser to the ground and repeatedly stomping on the helpless devil.

The savage beating left Riser's ribs repeatedly breaking and healing, leaving him defenseless against Issei's relentless attack. Despite his earlier defiance, Riser realized he stood no chance against the dragon's overwhelming power and could only suffer more if he resisted.

"I surrender!" Riser announced in pain, but Issei continued the assault without relenting.

Ravel, tears streaming down her face, couldn't bear to witness her brother's agony any longer. She rushed to his side as he lay in a crater, begging Issei to stop the relentless punishment.

"I-I-I surrender!" Riser pleaded fearfully, hoping to bring an end to the merciless beating.

Finally, Issei put an end to his assault, remarking, "About damn time."

"Sona's voice announced with evident concern, "Rias Gremory has won the Rating Game."

Ravel, worried for her brother, asked, "Onii-sama, are you alright?"

Riser remained silent, sitting there shaking, looking defeated.

Shaking his head at the fallen devil, Issei commented, "I hope you've learned your lesson, devil. Never pick a fight with a dragon."

As he spoke, Issei reverted to his normal form, no longer in his dragon state. Shortly after, both Ravel and Riser were teleported out of the battlefield. Rias and her remaining group followed suit, disappearing in a red circle. Once they were gone, a blue circle appeared under Issei, transporting him back to the student council room.

Upon arriving, Issei found only Sona and her peerage present, with everyone staring at him with wide-eyed astonishment.

"Where's Gremory?" Issei asked, looking unsettled.

"She's gone to check on her injured peerage. I summoned you back here," Sona explained.

Issei let out a sigh, "Alright, then can you handle the paperwork for me?"

"Dude, you practically defeated his entire peerage by yourself! Five pawns, two rooks, one knight, one bishop, the queen, and the king too! That was insane! We knew you were powerful, but damn!" Saji exclaimed, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Oh, you guys watched the whole thing?" Issei asked, perplexed.

"Of course, we did! I might even watch it again when it reruns!" Saji replied enthusiastically.

Issei looked puzzled, "Watch it again? How?"

"Rating Games are usually broadcasted on television for devils. It's likely that every devil in Hell witnessed this game," Tsubaki chimed in.

Issei's face paled at the realization. 'Oh no... they all saw me using my powers! This could have been worse if I had used my boosted gear too... Thank God I held back on that.'

Still shirtless and covered in ashes, soot, and Riser's blood, Issei couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious. Tsubasa, one of Sona's peers, was looking at him as though he were the most mesmerizing sight.

She approached him and bowed her head, saying, "You were truly remarkable in that game. A bit frightening towards the end, but I kind of like that aspect of your manliness."

"Um... thanks?" Issei responded, still feeling a bit bewildered by Tsubasa's compliment.

Tsubasa blushed and stammered, "A-are you, uhh, seeing anyone?"

Before Issei could answer, the door suddenly burst open, revealing none other than Serafall.

Everyone in the room was taken aback, their surprise only growing when Issei addressed her, "Serafall!?"

"Issei?!" Serafall exclaimed in astonishment. Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed over to Issei and embraced him tightly in a glomp.

Issei, still trying to process the situation, asked incredulously, "Serafall, what are you doing here?!"

"I came to find my sister, Sona-chan, and ask her where I could find you! I didn't expect to run into you here! And why have you been ignoring my messages?!" she demanded, sounding a bit childish in her frustration.

"Sona-chan? Sister?!" Issei's shock deepened, and he turned to look at Sona for confirmation.

Sona, her face flushed with embarrassment, stammered, "W-what are you doing at my school, dressed like... THAT?!"

The unexpected revelation of Serafall's identity and her unexpected visit left Issei and the student council members stunned. The atmosphere in the room became even more surreal as they tried to make sense of the situation with the devil heiress standing before them.
