Romania. 

It was one of the biggest countries in Eastern Europe. 

While Issei didn't know why he was brought to this place, there was no doubt that this was the best place to hide. 

Why?

This was the territory of the Vampire, a powerful supernatural being that didn't join the alliance. Due to their nature and also origin, they were proud beings. Even if they were troubled, they wouldn't ask for help, thinking that they could handle everything. 

However, in front of the power of Gasper from the future and the remnant of the Hero Faction and also Vali's group, they quickly took down and controlled the entire territory of the vampire in Romania. 

As for why Gasper chose this place, it was partly due to his selfishness. Yet, there was no doubt that this place was the most perfect place to hide.

Still, to explain from the beginning, Gasper was born in Romania as a Dhampir, with a noble vampire as his father and a human female as his mother. However, due to a certain mutation in his body, no one liked him, and he was isolated or even hated due to this mutation. He didn't know the reason previously and thought that he was just an unwanted child, but then everything changed when Rias came to him and made him her servant. 

Nevertheless, many things happened, and here he was, becoming a powerful devil that reached a Super Devil level. 

However, even if Gasper had become so powerful, he was still helpless against Riser. Even in the future, Issei was unable to do anything, so here he was, returning to the past, trying to get rid of Riser, nipping off the bud before it bloomed into a carnivore flower. 

Issei was that hope. 

Still, as Gasper waited for Issei, he also went to Romania to clear up all the obstacles for his dearest friend, Valerie Tepes.

According to the timeline in the original story, at this moment, the leader of the vampire of the Carmilla Faction went to visit the devil, asking for Gasper. 

However, such a thing didn't happen on this timeline since Gasper from the future came and cleared up everything for Valerie Tepest. 

Like him, Valerie Tepes was also a Dhamphir, an existence that was born between a vampire and a human, and like him, she also had something special inside her body. 

Longinus. 

Yes, she owned Longinus, which was the strongest type of Sacred Gear in the world. 

Yet, there was no doubt that what Valerie had was among the unique types. 

Sephiroth Graal. 

It is named after the Holy Grail from the Last Supper that Christ used and the Grail of Arthurian Legend. Sephiroth Graal, along with True Longinus (Holy Spear), Incinerate Anthem (Holy Cross), Alphecca Tyrant (Holy Nail), and the Shroud of Turin are known as the Holy Relics. It takes the appearance of a golden cup. Still, hers are special, and it gives her three golden cups of the same appearance.

Still, this Longinus allows the possess to come into contact with the principles of life itself. The possessor is also forcefully told about how both life and souls are made, in addition to taking in the mind and concept of death, living, and various other things. 

Yes, if Valerie wished to, she could reincarnate death. It was also for this reason that she was being targeted by Rizevim, the leader of the Old Satan Faction, which became the Qlippoth. 

The lack of people and the weak were the disadvantages of this terrorist group, so how could they deal with this problem?

They decided to return death to the living world. 

In the original, their plan succeeded, as they had reincarnated many powerful evil dragons to help them with their plan. 

Yet, in this world, there was no way for Gasper to allow that to happen. Watching his beloved be tortured every day, even if he knew that she would be okay, he couldn't let that happen, so he directly attacked the headquarters of the vampire and then pushed the Qlippoth away. Naturally, he also took down the Vampire group along with two noble houses, but they weren't his opponents. Some of them might fight, but facing his power, nothing could be done. 

If they wanted to escape from Gasper, they needed the help of the alliance, but the arrogance of the vampire knew no bounds, so they might as well become followers of Gasper in the future, considering he was partly a vampire. 

Still, Valerie, who saw Gasper as the future, also happily helped him, and it was also due to her that their plan for this revolution saw bright hope. 

"Is this where the vampire is living?" Issei asked curiously and also felt a bit strange as everyone was staring at him with reverence. Still, he never understood his power, so he didn't know what kind of effects his small action, just walking like this, would have on everyone. 

"Yes, this is the territory of the vampire. It's a secret place that no one will come to us." 

"Isn't that a perfect place?" 

Nevertheless, Issei had to say that this place was quite gloomy as it was mostly dark. Still, compared to the hatred he felt at that moment, he didn't care much where he would stay. As long as he became stronger and defeated Riser, he would do anything! 

"Senpai, you will be surprised after this." 

"What?" 

Issei was confused, but Georg, who followed them, could only smile since he knew that under the leadership of Issei, Gasper from the future, and also Valerie, everything would be okay. 

Still, the surprise that Gasper wanted to show Issei hadn't ended, and he brought Issei to a luxurious mansion within the territory of the vampire. 

While Issei was confused, he still followed Gasper until his eyes widened. "Si-Si-Si..." 

"Yo, Issei-kun." Sirzech greeted Issei with a gentle smile. 

"Sirzech-sama!" Issei was crying when he saw Sirzech. 

However, Sirzech wasn't the only one since Ajuka, Azazel, Odin, and many others. Yes, with the power of Sephiroth Graal, Valerie returned everyone from the land of death. Moreover, they weren't the only ones, as Valerie also reincarnated many others from evil dragons and those powerful beings that were dying. 

At this point, it wouldn't be wrong to say that their force wasn't even lost to the alliance!

"Issei-kun." 

"It's been a while. 

"Yo, Red Emperor Dragon!" 

Everyone was so happy to meet each other, and when they saw the power emitted from Issei, all of them saw hope, so the moment Issei calmed down, they quickly told him what was happening. Still, to not scare Issei, they tried to lower Riser and told Issei what kind of evil Riser had done to the world. 

This time, the initiative was in their hands, and they would definitely take down Riser! 

With that thought, they made Issei full of spirit so he would be ready to fight Riser. 

"Yes, I will do my best!" 

Issei shouted with all of his might, showing his determination to defeat Riser, yet what they didn't know was that Riser was already on his way to destroy all of them.
