P5: If he wishes

The barrier trembled at the clash of magic, the heat spread throughout the place, such was the heat that the very oxygen was evaporated.

Two fireballs were moving across the place at speeds so fast that they left a line of speed behind them.

These were Issei and Ametarasu, both surrounded by their respective flames.

The red-black and orange-gold color moved, leaving a trail of heat so intense that it melted everything nearby.

Any debris that still existed was melted as it passed through the chestnut tree, leaving a path if a lake of lava had passed through, which instantly turned to magma as the goddess passed right behind it, little by little the place was melted until begin to form magma and flow like a lake.

They both cared little or nothing and increased their intensity, they both met and banged their fist against each other and disappeared again and reappeared in another place, each blow produced an explosion that would be considered a small volcanic explosion, the blow near the lake of magma that began to flow in ripples enough to lift and eject it everywhere, just as if a hammer hit water and it would splash.

Issei tried to use [Divide] but it was as if she was immune, on the contrary she was getting stronger, but she wasn't the only one who could keep getting stronger.

[Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost][Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost ] [Boost]

The voice of the boosted gear repeated continuously and Issei felt her getting stronger little by little.

They increased their speed, if that was possible, and clashed frantically again.

He launched a kick and disappeared again however before he even moved Amaterasu appeared in front of him, a quick spin and a perfect ninety degree kick hit his jaw sending him skyward, she increased her aura of flames that covered her and flew straight to him.

Issei spat blood, he felt how that kick came with enough force to almost break his jaw, he wanted to recover when the goddess appeared on top of him and together her hands hit the chestnut's back with a mallet, he curved from the blow and was returned to the ground.

She again moved faster than the chestnut's fall and appeared where the fall trajectory came from, a knee impacted his abdomen, the blow produced another shock wave and he returned to the sky again.

Once again Amaterasu flew again until she surpassed the chestnut tree, she turned like a wheel of fire, when the chestnut tree was within her reach, her right leg was filled with more fire, she reinforced her own body with more energy making the attack more powerful, and an ax kick hit the brown-haired man's abdomen, he spat out a large amount of blood and like a bullet he shot to the ground.

He was pushed by a ball of fire in his abdomen, it looked more like a meteorite than anything else, the sun goddess didn't waste a second and launched a huge pillar of flames.

The chestnut tree impacted the ground and a large crater appeared instantly, but even before the crater finished appearing a huge pillar of flames impacted right on top of it, the pillar was there for a few seconds before its glow faded.

When the light went out, huge pieces of glass were seen protruding from the ground, the crater was nothing more than fragmented glass, and everything around it was completely black and ash.

The heat was so much that it crystallized the ground, the huge fragments of protruding glass were caused thanks to Issei's impact, when the rubble, dust and earth were going to shoot out, the pillar wrapped them and crystallized them, something impossible and it still happened.

In the middle of the glass crater was Issei with her upper clothes completely destroyed, burns all over her body and dried blood.

Magma reached the crater and began to flow into it.

It didn't take long for the magma river to fill the crater and swallow Issei.

Amaterasu just watched from the sky as the chestnut tree was consumed by the sea of magma.

Around thirty seconds with no signs of life, the sea of magma began to churn violently, as if it were water, it began to rotate in its center, rings of fire emerged from within and rose up into the sky.

All this was observed with complete tranquility by the goddess, one could even say that she was bored.

An explosion from within the sea of magma shot amounts of it to different places, the sun goddess looked at the center of the explosion as if she expected to see someone, however there was no one.

With a calm in her expression and without taking her eyes off From the center of the explosion, she raised her forearm and blocked a kick from the chestnut that appeared above her, her calm expression telling her he was screwed.

The only thing that moved slightly was his eyes to meet the chestnut's face, a smile appeared on his lips, a smile that he didn't like.

His tails caught him so tightly that there was a slight crack, a crack that was his bones being crushed.

With tremendous force he tossed it straight into the sea below them, the brunette skidding on the magma and looking around for the goddess.

"Where are you looking?"

She trembled, behind him, the melodious and calm sound of the goddess's voice entering her ears, and making her skin crawl.

He kicked back looking to hit her, however he just punched into the air, a tail slamming into his right cheek sending him rolling over the now almost complete sea of magma that covered the whole place.

He rolled a few times before pulling himself together and getting up only to find the goddess to one side of him and a ball of fire focused on her abdomen.

"Birth of a Sun" Disappears"

The attack dragged him across the place in a straight line, on his way he split the sea and in just seconds he reached the end of the barrier and a massive explosion shook the place violently, and created fissures in the barrier.

He calmly flew back to where yasaka was recovering slowly, he knew that the goddess Amaterasu was strong, but this was out of what he thought.

"I had no chance of winning...even if I had-"

"He's tough I admit, however he lacked control so he asked me…why didn't you kill him?"

"I-I n-no, he didn't have a chance, he was very strong-"

"The truth... you only used physical power and part of what true senjutsu energy can do, if you had really gone in with killing intent, you would have killed him, you are not stronger than the dragon kings for nothing and the training you did where was it?" Scolding.

"..." Yasaka was silent, "I-I couldn't, I didn't want to" the tears began to flow "I wanted him to..."

"I understand, but you should know what is important and what n-"

"He is important!"

Amaterasu stared at her, she could see the despair and longing for her in her gaze.

"I see... I feel like things will end like this" he told her with a guilty voice, he didn't like seeing yasaka like this.

"N-no, it's not his fault, it's mine, if only I hadn't made those mistakes, maybe he..." Amaterasu just kept silent "the... hmm" yasaka felt like the energy of the ley lines she was beginning to weaken, after all she was using it to heal herself.

"What's going on?" the goddess asked.

"Senjutsu energy weakens"

"Huh, but you don't have control of her?"

"Yes, but it began to weaken"

"Hmm... I don't like something, try to find where-"

« super dragon nova »

A scream was heard and instantly a huge pillar of purple energy headed towards them at high speed.

Amaterasu reacted in time and held onto yasaka and quickly left the place, the attack passed where they were, and he saw how she disintegrated everything in her path.

Amaterasu directed her gaze towards the cause and saw him, a kneeling chestnut with his left arm raised and tired, his breathing was heavy and uneven and blood was falling from his body.

He frowned, he knew that if he had hit that attack he would not have escaped unscathed, and yasaka would have been reduced to dust.

He left Yasaka in a high place and flew until he was close to the chestnut tree.

"You would have stayed without doing anything and you would have another day to live"

"Ha ha, and if you hadn't moved. You would already be. Hoping to live another day"

She frowned at what was said, she knew that she was partly right "it's not that I care, but I may know what is the reason for your attack"

"...it's in my way"

"Hmm? Wasn't it better to ignore it"

"Nah, it's better to destroy it"

"Innocents died-"

"I was innocent"

She only observed how the feeling of hatred arose from him "not now... they told me good things about you, now you're just another garbage in the middle of useless dung"

"Ha ha, with that mouth you kiss your parents, like that, you don't have hahaha"

She raised her power and fire began to rise "it's good to die laughing, but if it's any consolation, I'm going to kill you quickly for Yasaka"

"Thank you for that bastard goddess"

Amaterasu lifted her arm and a building-sized spear appeared above her made of fire.

"This ends now, damn it... Hyoudou Issei"

"Well, what are you waiting for, you piece of Goddess crap"

"It was not a pleasure to see you again «Incineracio-"

The barrier shattered like glass and was instantly replaced by another.

A light appeared above them all, a light so bright, a light that was instantly dimmed, darker than night, and yet it shone so brightly.

A surge of magical power invaded the area and forced the goddess to stop her attack. It was an overwhelming magical power, such a sacred magical power, so corrupted, a power that equaled...couldn't even be superior to hers, he felt corrupted yet so pure.

"A fallen angel?"

"No, there is no fallen angel that has such a pure presence and magical power is another matter..."

The light faded.

A silhouette was visible, despite the light gone, it continued to shine without equal, beautiful wings that before were a pure white color now turned into a darker black than any fallen angel, and even so they continued to shine so beautifully that it made them appear gray.

A golden color that shone by itself and armor that gave off holy power.

"What!?, It can't be, G-gabriel!, y-your wings, you, you are now..."

"Gabriel! But how? What's more, how is he a fallen angel!!"

At a speed that broke the sound barrier, a couple of times she appeared in front of Issei and hugged him with such affection and gentleness that it seemed like a mother's hug to her son.

Issei didn't react and just let himself be hugged, he didn't have the strength to do anything.

"My Ise" she spoke to him warmly as she continued hugging him carefully trying not to touch his wounds "I missed you, you don't know how much I missed you" she began to cry "I knew that one day I would find you, it won't matter if I had to reincarnate 10 0 1000 times to find you" she put her hands to the brunette's cheeks "I would do it just to be with you"

"E-eh, I can't, Gabriel you-"

"Stop" she placed a finger on his lips, we'll talk later, now let me take care" she smiled warmly at him "but first" she kissed Issei on the lips and then smiled even more, it seemed that her smile was shining.

She got up and stood in front of Issei, below Issei a magic circle appeared and she began to heal him slowly.

Amaterasu who was still surprised, was more surprised to see Gabriel's speed.

She thought that she came to help, and so it was, but not as she imagined, apparently she came to help her enemy.

"Goddess Amaterasu, can you please leave, I would appreciate it" she said more like a plea.

"...Seraph, no, fallen angel Gabriel, that's impossible, and I really don't know what happened for you to end up like this, but I know that you pursue justice and he is the complete opposite of what he believes, so stay away "

"Goddess Amaterasu, you are right, but... Ise-Kun, did you want to kill Amaterasu-sama?" I ask him.

"Uhm" he just nodded

"I really have nothing against anyone, but he hurt my Ise and I can't forgive him for that" she moved her spear and seraphic energy began to flow.

"And you can give me all the reasons in the world why he can be the greatest evil that exists, but if he wants it and you get in his way... I don't need any more reasons to kill you"

A thick aura of holy energy exploded from her and lit up the entire place.

The once innocent look of the purest and most innocent angel, now it was only icy and would be, all traces of innocence disappeared, her murderous intent that no one even knew she had was now directed at a single individual.

The goddess Amaterasu, was surprised by the magical power of the former seraph, and for the first time since she arrived she expelled all the power from her.

Both staring at each other, Gabriel began to fly until he was in front of the goddess less than a meter away, the aura of both was so thick that it seemed that gravity increased, powers so great that if it weren't for the barrier, all of Kyoto would have easily disappeared. the simple release of his powers.

What was going to happen during the fight they did not know, but they did know the end of the fight.

One of the two was going to die.
