Chapter 52: Multiverse Tournament (Part 2) (Edited)

After informing Mic about there exclusion from the tournament, Issei sat down on a bench and as he waited for his fight, he watched, compiled and refined all techniques and fused them with his current fighting styles and martial arts. Then it was finally his time.

He walked upto the circular platform with a blank expression on his face, his expression unnerved his digimon and even some of the other fighters there.

Luce:"Rio, Sheng have you ever seen Issei this mad before?" said the demon lord of pride cold sweat running down his face.

Rio:"No not ever."

Issei and Burnz were then teleported to the universe specifically created for this fight.

Burnz:"Sorry about your pet lion pal! It was his fault own for being so fucking weak! Are maybe it because your such a trash tamer!" said the flaming haired man trying to get a rise out of Issei. His plan was to get Issei angry so he'd make mistakes during combat due to his rage. The brunette sighed he knew what Burnz was planning as he read his mind with [Reishi]. Without a word a punch caught Burnz off guard he was barely able to dodge. He did a few back flips and caught himself.

Issei:"[Re-Taekwando:Triple Kick!]" Burnz tried blocking by crossing his arms, but the kicks but Issei used [Hasshoken] which sent ripples of pain through the flaming hair man entire body.

He was sent skidding but he managed to stop himself. Pissed he coated his arms in a beauty white flame and tried punching Issei but Issei absorbed the flame.

Issei:"[White Star Flames] Huh?" said Issei as he called a small amount of flames to his hand.

Burnz:'Tch! Fire won't work, so I'll just have to use my physical strength.' Burnz is a fire user, he specializes in using different flames the [White Star Flame] is his strongest flame currently.

He dashed towards Issei and threw a punch that destroyed that entire chunk of the planet, Issei dodged the punch and summon his [Boosted Gear E-Neo] in its leg form and placed a powerful well timed kick at the fire user. Who was barely able to dodge.

The fire user then summon a sword it had a yellow gem in the guard and black markings along its Red blade.

In response Issei summoned a pair of a sleaker [Boosted Gear E-Neo] on his arms which extended to his shoulders.

Issei:"[Bo-Bup+Soru!]" Issei dissapeared and arrived behind Burnz and delivered a combo of punches clad in haki along with ripples from [Hasshoken] and [Advanced Armament Haki] which the rocked not just Burnz, but the entire planet as well causing massive earth quakes. The kick was so strong that it sent the fire user through multiple mountains causing.

The flaming haired man got up blood dripping from his head. Angered he blasted off at Issei faster than the speed of sound with his sword in hand and slashed at Issei which dodged all of his slashes with and countered here and there.

Issei:"Oi give up your flames are completely useless against me and your a complete novice when it comes to the sword." A deep scowl encompasses Burnz face as he snorted and his swings began to get wilder. Seeing this insult to sword fighting Issei clenched his fist.

And his the arm of his [Sacred Gear] began to bulk up, as he coated his fist in [Haki] and then fused it with [Touki] turning it Scarlet.

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

Issei kept dodging Burnz wild slashes even with his bulky arm, at this point the entire planet was almost covered in slashes, even the poor moon didn't survive this tragic fate, as it was sliced in half. Issei however kept Boosting until....

Issei:"[Mach Punch+Scarlet Dragon Ripple!!!]"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!*

The punched delivered to Burnz's gut caused him to be sent flying through the planets in the solar systems away. He died of oxygen deprivation as the shock from [Hasshoken] and [Ryou] was just too much, which includes the fact he was knocked out while in the void of space.

Both Issei and Burnz were teleported back as the crowd was going wild. Issei walked back to his group and took out something to eat from his inventory, though he doesn't need to eat, but he enjoys it, that and he doesn't have infinite stamina, even though he's an immortal.

After his fight the other contestants were then cut down to fifteen half of how the number of fighters in the tournament. Though Issei didn't pick up any useful fighting techniques but he did find a few unique pieces of technology, though that the other fighters used.

Issei:"Excuse me your Mika right?" I said to girl with black and a white ribbon.

Mika:"Yes that's me and you are Issei Hyoudou I presume! I hope you aren't like your perverted counter parts!" She said with a bit of venom in here voice.

Issei:"I apologize on behalf of my other counterparts, I know they can get carried away with they're.....hobbies!"

Mika:"I accept your apology, though I'd like to know why your trying to converse with me? I've already been eliminated from the tournament."

Issei:"It's about the technology you used in your fights?" the two then went to talk about they're technological advancements, along with their equipment and they passed notes safe to say they both had fruitful gains an guess what Issei got a follow on his Multiversal Twitter and Instagram, but Issei wasn't stupid enough to reveal all of his cards and so was Mika.

Issei:"Anyway, looks likes my fights next, see ya!" he smiled and waved at the girl which caused her to blush, with his looks and his flame like birth mark any woman heart would skip a beat.

In the combat universe Issei was met with a bamboo forest and infront of him an oldman with wearing a beautiful blue and white kimono, he also had a katana at his waste along with blue tattoo of a dragon add the right side of his.

???:"It's a pleasure to meet you youngster my Kenishiro. But you can call me Grandpa Ken or Kenny for short." the oldman replied as he drew his blade.

Issei:"Nice to meet you my name is Issei Hyoudou." Issei withdrew [Ascalon] and from the gate in his right, and equipped the [Boosted Gear E-Neo] on his left hand, which went up all the to his shoulder along with the [Evoluzione Draconica].

Issei:"[Execute:Standard Combat Set]." The right side of Issei's became died with red and he wore a pair of jeans pants which had red armour like parts on it and the boots, he was also a wearing a black long sleeved v-neck shirt.

Each of these clothes were powerful metals, and parts of the [Scail Mail] that he alchemised to act like clothes but be as strong along with runes which boosted those stats.

Without waiting for a signal Issei blitz the oldman and brought down his sword but the elder blocked the hybrid dragon's strike by partially unsheathing his blade.

Kenishiro:"Not bad youngster." Issei then used [Bo-Bup+Soru] to arrive behind the oldman.

Issei:"[Two Sword Style-Red Twister!]" Issei spun his body clockwise and delivered a flying slashe in shape of a tornado. But it was sliced in half. Kenishiro then dashed towards the teen his sword in hand.

Kenishiro:"[Breath of the Blue Dragon, First form-Blue Dragon Slash!]" A blue dragon coiled around the elderly samurai's blade. A sense of dread picked up in Issei as he quickly dashed out of the way.

*SWUUUUUNGGG!!!!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

A mountain in the distance was sliced through cleanly, hell the clouds even parted ways, and Issei with his enhanced sight could see the ocean had giant split as well.

Issei:"That's some some real crazy [Sword Intent] you have there!" said Issei with sweat dripping down his face. But the oldman still had a small smile on his face.

Kenishiro:"Haha! Yeah I've been training for a while now I'm about at 25% Mastery!" said the oldman with the same smile. Issei smirked and dashed at the elderly man. He knew in a straigh sword fight he could never beat the oldman but this a good way to improve his [Intent]. Ever since he left Fate he's been stuck at 9% Mastery.

[BOOST!!!]

At high speeds Issei ran around the field at high speeds attacking the old man leaving after images to confuse him but...

*CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!!!!!!*

The elderly samurai parried each attack like it was nothing the small smile still etched on his face unmoving from his the place he stood.

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

[BOOST!!!]

He dashed at him again and began another assault, he was able to scratch the elder with a few narrow slashes, but the oldman then counter attacked it was like his blade was flowing like water it was unnatural, the attack struck Issei which sent the teen flying. It only caused some blunt damage due to the high defense but it was still hurt.

Issei:"Fuck that hurts!"

Kenishiro:"Not bad kiddo your at the 9% mark at [Sword Intent]. You should be at a bottle neck about now right?"

Issei:"How do yo-! No that's a stupid question, your an experienced swordsman who's been traveling the multiverse for maybe hundreds of thousands of years now."

Kenishiro:"Experienced yes. But I've only been traveling the multiverse for about three years now." This shocked Issei, Ddraig and Ranna to their core.

Kenishiro:"That and I was too strong for my original universe. I accidentally cut open a rift between space time. Hahahaha!"

Issei:'Okay so he's insanely strong!' Thought our simp of an mc, as a bluish hue came over the oldman as his face became stoic.

Kenishiro:'*Sigh!* Talking about home is bringing back bad memories.' his mind flashed towards and old elderly woman, and a grave with a katana embedded in the tomb stone.

Kenishiro:"Hanako." he muttered, but a smile spread on his face at the time, the aura around him expanded.

Kenishiro:"You better get ready kiddo I'm going on the offensive." he got into a pose and flashed towards Issei. Who barely blocked the old man's attack. The attack caught Issei off guard, it seems the old man was 'heavily' holding back, it was thanks to [Future Sight] he was even able to block.

The two then dissapeared in a burst of speed, sword clashing rang out through the entire continent they were on.

Issei:'He keeps getting me with a that strike that flow like river, his breath style has been compiled, removed all flaws and fused with his techniques in the library, I've already learned them, even that technique. Why doesn't it compile in the [Library]!?!? Still though his techniques only had about two flaws he's amazing!!!' Thought Issei as he blocked another strike and delivered a combo of attacks with [Hasshoken] and [Ryou]. But the oldman countered with his own haki and his own [Hasshoken].

Issei:"How?" Asked Issei still locked in combat.

Kenishiro:"I went to One peice, of course I'd go there after all..." He delivered a heavy strike which sent Issei sliding across the grass.

Kenishiro:"My grandkids introduced it to me."Issei then released his wings and flew in the air to get an arial. But he old man walked on the air using [Geppo]. Issei know becauses that's what complete mastery over [Geppo] looks like.

Issei:"Should've expected that!" he muttered as he clashed again with the oldman. The two went on to continue their battle in the sky, when Issei asked.

Issei:"How did you do that technique where your sword moved like a flowing river?" he said mid-clash.

Kenishiro:"That's a [Intent] brat." he countered and threw Issei through a few mountains.

Issei:'I see he uses sword intent to communicate with his sword.'

*Shing!*

All of Issei's weapons began to ring in the gate even the [Boosted Gear] and even Junior.

[Weapon Mastery 10%]

Issei tightened his hold on his swords.

Issei:"Old man Ken I don't have [Sword Intent]." The samurai was suprised hearing this, but kept vigilant.

Issei:"I use [Weapon Intent]. I finally get it my weapons aren't just to kill tools their apart me their who have my back." The oldman smiled and got into a stance, his face now marked with a crazy battle lust smile on his face. His [Sword Intent] aura bursting from his body small slices could been in space time around him.

Issei:"[Breath of the Sun Dragon Third form-Dragons Edge!]" said Issei as two golden shining dragons coiled around his blades.

Kenishiro:'[Space Time Slash!]" but dashed to each other with Issei kept Boosting all that time.

*CLANG!!!!*

Kenishiro fell down as blood spurred from his chest, a cut in the shape of an X marking his body. Kenishiro may outclass Issei in skill, but he's able to boost his stats as much times as he wants now, that and he was able removed certain limiters from the, [Boosted Gear]. So he was able to outclass the old samurai in physical strength.

Both fighters exited the universe and exchanged contact information.

Issei:"See ya oldman."

Kenishiro:"Hahaha! See ya brat, if you have any troubles with your [Intent] just gimme a call!" I nod as he left the stadium.

Kevin:'That oldman was insane, he was able to cut space and time and if it weren't for that variant of Issei keeping space and time together with his magic, he would've probably died. I should probably strengthen space and time some more, it'll cause lag in space and time manipulation abilities, but I have no choice. These rookies are strong as always.'

Thought the most normal looking person in the stadium, well by our standards, he was impressed with the power of the noobie multiverse travellers, as by there power level other traveller's judge others time travelling, though it's not a really useful way to check it's still helpful.

Exiting his musing he strengthen the universe he created as the next two fighters showed up it was white haired young with blue eyes he had a mysterious feel to him his name was Nate and a giant lava like man he was called Bricks. The two were then teleported to the universe where they would engage in combat.

Nate:"Hello my name is Nate, its a pleasure to meet you." Bricks snorted.

Bricks:"Keep talking pretty boy." The hulking creature ran towards the young man at incredible speeds suprising for his size.

*BOOOOMMM*

He threw a punch which caused a giant shockwave which annihilated that entire part of that universes solar system. But Nate seems to be completely fine, hell not even a piece of dirt was on his shirt.

Bricks:"Bastard!!!" Bricks threw a number of high speed punches and kicks which Nate redirected all of them. Getting tired of the lava creatures onslaught. He simply stopped it's next punch with his pinky.

Nate:"*Sigh!* Your boring."

Bricks:"What!?!?!"

Nate:"You let your emotions rule you, which is something that could get you killed, you have no martial arts training and you just wildy swing your arms around. The only thing great about you is your physical strength. Which makes my point your a boring adversary. Have you ever trained in your life?"

Bricks looked like he was about to blow his stack as he went to through another punch but...

Nate:"[Complete Annihilation]." muttered the snow haired teen as took out a book to read, a white flash then shown through the entire solar system. What was left was nothing...the entire solar system, the teen was simply reading his book in the void of space.

Giro:"That flash it was him!"

Diego:"Yeah I recognised it!"

Giro:"He was the other bastard who eliminated the rest of us!"
