33 Life 2.3: The decisive battle Begins : Part 2

BANG-!!!!!

I heard a familiar voice scream.

"Kibaaa!"

"Rias-sama's [Knight] retires"

"[Knight] eliminated"

I heard the voice which was looking at me from the above

The queen of Raiser.

Damn you!

She flew over to where Raiser is.

I could fly over there but it would be bad to spend even a little of my demonic-power cause after boosting it would make a huge difference. Looks like I have to run.

After reaching where Raiser is, I saw his little sister standing in the way

"Are you in my way now!"

"No, I am just a spectator here"

I smiled at her and said

"Then please enjoy the show"

I went towards the roof where Raiser and Rias are fighting.

"If this is the stronghold of Raiser, then Promotion- [Queen]"

HEARTBEAT—!

"Good"

BOOOOM!

A sound reverberated from above

Shit!

I made my way towards the roof then

BOOM!

"Rias Gremory-sama's [Bishop] retires"

I saw Asia turning into light in front of me. She had tears in her eyes.

This is the second time I saw someone retire in front of me. First Kiba and then Asia.

A few minutes earlier~

"Kibaaa!"

I made my way towards him and held him.

"Ise-kun I leave everything else to you—!"

And he faded into light.

Present~

"Buchou. I am here! Don't worry"

I saw her with burned clothes. Her belly and under boobs were exposed. I took off my jacket and placed it on her.

She was shocked momentarily.

"Don't worry. I will take it from here"

The [Queen] of Raiser intercepted the path and attacked me.

"You aren't worthy enough. [Chidori-Current]"

CHIIIIII~

All her attacks were intercepted by my [Chidori]

SHUN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06fhZca9KuI

After the Chidori faded out she threw few bombs towards me at such an angle that if I dodged it would hit Buchou. I had to unfortunately endure those bombs.

Raiser Queen's POV~

The bishop of Rias Gremory's peerage was a little problem for us. She wasn't a combat type but her sacred gear, [Twilight Healing] was becoming a problem for us. No matter how much we injured their king she healed them up right next instant. It was getting annoying. So I decided to take her out first.

SWOSH-!

I fired some energy to wound her but, she dodged.

Her movement seemed to be the one of an amateur. She jumped back and tripped. She fell on the roof making her very easy to target.

"You won't be lucky this time!"

SWISH-!

The attack hit her and took her out of the game.

And suddenly another annoying brat came to take her place.

"Don't worry. I will take it from here"

As he arrived I gazed at him. He had his freaky eyes activated along with the sacred gear.

I send many small projectiles towards him.

"You aren't worthy enough. [Chidori-Current]"

He blocked all of the incoming projectiles with a lightning attack which seemed to create a lightning field around himself. The roof was all devastated.

I send a few more projectile attacks but this time he dodged them.

Seems like he is saving his energy for the fight with Raiser-sama. Unfortunately, his desire to fight Raiser-sama will be left unfulfilled as he will be going out by my hands.

"You are quite arrogant. Shall we test something?"

I said on which he replied

"What?"

"Let us see if you are just a bark or have a bite as well."

I threw some bombs towards him such that if he dodges it, then they would hit their king. Now with the healer gone the only thing he can do is to tank those bombs.

BOOM-!

The energy bombs exploded on his body. Good seems like you tanked them. Now how will you endure this!

FLAME-!

I summoned flames on my right hand and dashed towards him with my top speed.

Surprisingly, he was able to react but was too slow.

By the time he was about to take a defensive position, my hand was penetrating his chest.

"So you were only a bark…. That's why you shouldn't be arr-"

"shouldn't be arrogant"

He said.

Suddenly, the sound of chirping of hundreds of birds entered my ear and I felt pain in my chest. The scene before me changed. Rather than say changed, it was reversed. I was standing on the roof and a hand clad in lightning had pierced my chest.

"How? But you were lying there injured!"

"Sure I was lying there but, in your dreams!"

The scenery before me started to change. I was disappearing from the field.

"Please, forgive me. Raiser-sama!"

Raiser Queen's POV ended~

Ise POV~

STAB—!

She saw my face right next to her and my hand piercing her heart.

"How? But how you were lying there injured"

"Sure I was lying there but, in your dreams!"

Yes, I used my [Sharingan] and put her under genjutsu them the moment she gazed at me.

"Raiser Phoenix-sama's [Queen] retires"

"Now, Raiser it's just you and me"

"Splendid. But even if you defeated my whole peerage you have no chance against me. You would give me a good match if you would have boosted your power from the beginning of the game but pity"

[Boost!]

"You wanted a good match. You will get it."

[Boost!]

"Explode"

[Explosion]

Suddenly my whole body was overflowing with power. It was greater than my body could endure. A powerful aura not less than that of Raiser was flowing throughout the field.

"Ise don't do it."

Rias screamed from behind.

I ignored her. My body couldn't contain the power. And my skin began to crack there was immense pain but I endured it.

BOOM!

A huge wave of aura exploded from my body signaling that the power has settled down.

[Partner this power is the same as Raiser's but is not enough to take him down in one hit]

I know Ddraig. I know.

I looked towards Rias.

"Probably you are going to hate me after what I am going to do now. But if that's what it takes then so be it—!"

"Ise, No don't do it. Stop it ISEEEE!"

I just smiled.

I gathered concentrated demonic-power into my right hand and applying lightning nature to it.

COUGH—!

I spat a mouthful of blood.

I can't go down after coming this far. I endure the pain.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA—!

"No, you are not!"

Raiser shot a fireball towards me I couldn't move rather can't afford to lose concentration here. So I ground my teeth and endured the fireball.

"Stop it. ISE!" Rias said with tears in her eyes.

"So stubborn, let me tell you the death in [Rating games] are considered as accidents. So if by chance he dies then don't blame me for it"

Raiser bombarded me with series of the fireball. I forcefully endured it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"If that's what you want then fine [Hellfire]"

"Stop it! Raiser!"

Raiser condensed a strong concentration of heat and formed it in form of a bird. Ignoring Rias he shot it towards me.

"STOP IT, RAISER! I SURRENDER!"

"[Raikiri]"

A huge mass of lightning was concentrated on my hand was slowly ripping the skin of my hand.

The [Hellfire] was approaching me.

In the spectators' room

"Do you want to stop it SirZechs-sama"

"No, let it continue for a moment. I want to see how he counters the [Hellfire]"

Back to the arena

"Rias Gremory-sama has surrendered. The victor of this [Rating Game] between Rias Gremory-sama and Raiser Phoenix-sama is Raiser Phoenix-sama"

BOOM!

[Raikiri] clashed with [Hellfire] and completely decapitated it but the heat of flame was still there and burnt my whole body. At the moment I couldn't feel my arms, my legs everything I felt was pain and pain. I was holding up until now with my sheer will.

CHIII~

COUGH—!

I again spat a mouthful of blood. But I still made my way towards Raiser. My reserves were dry yet I was holding somehow. Then I heard the announcement of Rias surrendering. At that moment I truly lost my consciousness.

So it was all for nothing huh!

"You are worthy of becoming her pawn. You have the potential of surpassing most of the people of your generation. If this was a duel between you and me, then, maybe you would have stood a chance. If she hadn't surrendered in the end then maybe, you would have endured some more, just maybe for her, you would have..! Don't worry after our marriage, I will train you personally."

Rias POV

Even after I surrendered he was still going at Raiser until he heard the announcement of my surrendering his pace slowed down and when he went near Raiser what hit Raiser was just a simple punch with no strength behind it. His whole body was clad in blood. Raiser simply dodged his punch and moved away from him. But Ise was standing still there without any movement

I ran towards Ise and hugged him

"Ise"

His lifeless body fell on me. I gently placed his head on my lap.

"I am sorry Ise. I am sorry"

His condition was very terrible blood running from his wounds whole body was soaked in blood. His shin was torn from inside out

"Thank you. Akeno, Koneko, Yuuto, Asia, and …..Ise. Thank you for fighting for me. I will always remember this"

Spectators room~

After the game, the first one to leave was Rias's elder brother. Behind him was following a beautiful silver-haired woman with a maid uniform.

'He doesn't realize his potential. Rather say he doesn't know his power. What do you think Grayfia?'

'It is as you say SirZechs-sama. He is not aware of his potential. Besides we can't blame him, he didn't have any time to get used to the scared gear or the devil physic. Besides, if I may dare say, Rias-ojou-sama is too soft. If she didn't surrender in the end, that boy did have the will to muster the courage and give a final blow to Riaser-sama. It is due to her softness that she is not keeping her freedom.'

'You can't blame her though. She is too doting on her peerage. Besides, I don't think this is gonna end here. He will try to stop the wedding somehow'

'What are your instructions SirZechs-sama?'

'You know what to do. Let's have a match between a Dragon and Pheonix.'

'It will be as you wish Maou-sama'

'Also, contact the chairman of 'Grauzauberer' organization. We will be needing his queen for our little Red Dragon to grow into the Red Dragon Emperor'

'You mean to take help of Mephisto Pheles-sama in this matter'

'Not his help-'

'But the help of One of the Five Dragon Kings'
