Chapter 9: Cursed Black Flash

Riser POV

Going back a few minutes before I walk towards Rias, I can see her struggling with reality. She actually thought she could beat us. Or maybe she thought it wouldn't be an actual massacre. As I was nearing her. She looked more and more panicked. Eventually I even turned off my Infinity. I don't need it for someone like her.

I could see Asia hiding behind Rias making herself smaller to not catch my attention. Meanwhile Rias started throwing more power of destruction and parts of my body were destroyed but it just regenerated. Does it hurt? Yes, but I imagine it looks intimidating as hell. No matter what you do I will survive, as I am immortal.

But I can stand the pain. I know the pain of having my heart taken and paraded, I know the pain of being the bisected one. An injury that I can heal from is nothing.

As I stood right in front of her, I asked her "Is this all you amounted to?" with a neutral look on my face.

"Rias just stop this, give up, you can't beat me, there are only five of your peerage now." I told her.

"We will win the game, Riser!" she shouted defiantly. And she finally decided to be physical as she slapped me in the face.

Why does this irritate me so, this defiant, stubborn attitude of hers just makes me so mad. Why? There is something about it that just rubs me the wrong way. She knows it is useless but she still does it anyway. What is this heat in my chest I feel, this burning as if I am happy but angry at the same time.

"Fine then, watch as my peerage tears your peerage piece by piece. And they will not be as merciful as me. If you are prepared to see that, then continue your hard headed ways, I won't even interfere, let's just watch here together you and I." I gave her an ultimatum and sat on the ground beside her.

She immediately threw balls of destruction over and over at me, until she was panting. And then she saw her rook get teamed up by my girls, she then changed her targets to my pawns but I once again deployed Infinity and expanded it to only envelop us. Her power of destruction never reached the target of her frustrations.

And she had to watch as her rook was stabbed, beaten, and retired by my pawns, though she was able to eliminate some of my peerage. The Ruin Princess frantically started to try and break infinity, however inevitable that is. And then something even worse happened.

Her best friend, her right hand woman, was useless in a close combat situation. She was even more pathetic than their rook. Shirone fought until the end using her strength. She even broke her fear and turned into her full nekoshou form and used her most dreaded power, her ki, even if barely. 

She actually loved her master that much, her loyalty to Rias broke her fear, or maybe her adrenaline was just too much and she got carried away but she still used it. For that I respect her.

But Akeno, what is this pathetic display? Are you actually just a seductress? A tease? Is that all she was? Her hate for her father was greater than her love for her new family. She wouldn't even use her holy power. I prepared my rooks for lightning but not for the holy element. I have no doubt that we would be in trouble if she used her true power.

But she just ran and tried hit and run tactics against my rooks. Worst of all, she was caught and wasn't able to do anything. You're a queen, you are supposed to be the ultimate all-rounder. Why does every devil insist that their queen should only fill up their third bishop.

The last thing she did was a suicide lightning attack, I thought she was going to chant 'With this treasure…' with that move because that was just stupid. She should have just given up if she wasn't going to give it her all.

Rias was now on her knees, crying. However, she still had that hopeful look in her eyes. She is still hoping for her dragon to save her, and speaking of the devil, he appears. Clearly enraged with all that aura surrounding him. If I didn't know better I would have thought he would have gone to juggernaut drive.

"Get away from her!!" He shouted and his power skyrocketed once more with one more boost and finally releasing all that power with an explosion.

I see, this is why I was so irritated, she was being stubborn by believing in another person, but not in herself. Still she did hold out. Haa fine, let's end this already, let's fucking go.

I released my Infinity and started walking towards him.

"So, how many boosts did you do while taking your time getting here?" I asked him.

But he stayed silent, that was the first sign that I should have sensed that something was wrong. But wanting to get this over with because of all the disappointments that I have encountered this day, I just casually swung my hands and an invisible line to others started heading towards Issei but I could see it.

I could also see in slow-mo when the boosted gear slowly reached up and grasped my technique.

What.

What the fuck did I just see?

Did Hyoudou fucking Issei actually catch Dismantle?... No, ah I see now.

Looking once again into his eyes, I could not see his pupils, only white filled his eye sockets and slowly but surely from the boosted gear, small tiny spheres started spreading.

Not many people could see it, I doubt Gojo can see it, even Sukuna probably couldn't see it, maybe only that hand freak could see it. But with the six eyes and the knowledge of Sukuna has on souls. I could see shadows of people forming, the most clear of all are two figures. A green haired buff man, and a blonde busty woman whispering to the latest boosted gear wielder. Everyone here can only see spheres most likely. 

I recognize those two, Belz-something and Elsha, the strongest boosted gear wielder in history. Of course I recognize the woman she was in the catalog, and I am gonna tap that someday.

But what the hell is this form? This was never in the series, it looks like an incomplete juggernaut drive but he doesn't even have the balance breaker armor, let alone the actual juggernaut drive armor.

But… No… Surely even Issei can't fuck up this bad? He accidentally activated juggernaut drive, but was too weak to even activate balance breaker, so only the berserker mode was activated along with the souls of the boosted gear wielders.

In other words I am not fighting Hyoudou Issei. I am fighting all the boosted gear wielders in history. Hmmm. (JJK - Your battle is my battle OST)

"Hmhmhmhmmm… Haaaahahahahahahaha!!! You really are a fuck up Hyoudou Issei. The biggest fuck up in this world. This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever seen." This is great. I get to fight the actual wielders of the gear, one on a hundred. Let's get this started, let's fucking go.

I unleashed dozens of Dismantles in a second. The boosted gear caught the ones that would give the most grievous wounds but the other dismantles found their target and Hyoudou's body was wounded everywhere. 

Then as if an invisible signal started we both started running towards each other, I threw a punch and he caught it, I unleashed a dismantle and made him dodge by backflipping. His legs almost caught my chin but I used blue on his back to pull him back.

I continued the blue to suck him in, but multiple boosts from him and with a stomp he was in my face again. And his fist pulled back.

I tried to knee him but he converted his punch into a palm that caught my knees. I used another dismantle that struck him in the face as he was too late to pull back. And first blood goes to me.

But after that he spat on my face with his blood and blinded me in one eye. That is just disgusting, though doing everything to win hahaha, good job.

And with that he also landed a blow to my head which erased the right side of my head.

It was painful but when he erased my head he also erased the blood blocking my vision. Hahaha he is actually trying to kill me. Come boosted gear, let me enjoy this more.

I sent a hundred continuous dismantles and he didn't even bother dodging or catching. Instead he boosted several times and I heard a transfer, hehehe he even unlocked transfer now. I bet he transferred all that power to his muscles or something to strengthen his defenses, and he tanked all my attacks. My attacks turned from threatening attacks to gashes on him. Not scratches but gashes large enough that eventually, he will run out of blood.

Then several boosts sounded out once more, and with another transfer his wounds healed at a rapid rate. Okay, this is bullshit, the other wielders are definitely in control because Issei would never think of this all he would do is smash, smash, smash. Or at least try to, hahaha.

Glancing at the other people in the arena I could see even more of my peerage now backing away, they knew that I can't hold back anymore and they would just get in the way. They have seen me practice dismantle during training so they know what to expect. But they have never seen me do hundreds of it all at once and they could see that horrifying result if it lands on them.

Meanwhile Rias is smiling worriedly, she seems happy that her servant seems so strong now while worried for his wounds that are slowly healing.

"Wipe that smile on your face Rias. You better pray that I succeed in defeating him or he will die. Do you really think he became this powerful on his own? He is currently burning his life force to sustain this power, so if you don't want him to die then cheer for me hm?" I explained to her what is happening right now and she turned from worry to frantic now.

"What? You're lying, how do you even know that?" She accused me.

"Because the phenex's are more aware of life force than any devil out there." I told her the most bullshit story I can come up with.

And then I once more rushed into the fight and just as I was once more face to face with my enemy, someone punched him right in the face that sent him skidding on the ground. 

Looking at who it was, it was Ravel. What the hell is she doing?

Just as I was about to tell her to go away, I stopped as I saw her face, full on smile and concentration in her eyes. It was one I have seen before. She herself is doing a gamer move. She was the most locked in I have ever seen from her before.

"I'm sorry Onii-sama, but there is something inside of me telling me that I have to do this." She told me with a giddy voice, she was so hyper that she was shaking, not from fear but excitement.

"Fine, I can't say no to my cute sister after all." I can't say no when I can see an awakening right in front of me.

I went behind her and at the same time, both of us raised our right hand ready to fight.

"Let's get cooking then!" I intoned.

"Hai! Onii-sama!" Both of us went running towards the Dragon Emperor. When the standing still emperor showed he wasn't standing still for nothing. He was boosting himself to create a dozen dragon shot spheres behind him.

And the moment that we started running towards him, lasers shot out from those spheres, tracking the both of us. We continued to bob and weave through all the lasers when eventually we were trapped and I activated Infinity to act as a shield.

I can't launch any of my techniques like this but I am not alone. Ravel who I was protecting started launching fire arrows from the air, and thus birthed the Gate of Babylon: Disaster Fire Edition. Tens of arrows were formed and then launched at the same time.

Then I realized something, this would most likely actually drain me but if not now then when, I don't even know if this would work but, YOLO this shit, let's go.

"Phase. Twilight. Eyes of Wisdom." I released my absolute defense and activated the only other technique I could use from Gojo. "Cursed Technique Lapse - Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue"

It's not as big as when Gojo used it against the bum but it was big enough that it sucked up all the lasers and the Dragon had to dodge to the side as I sent it towards him.

I grabbed Ravel and spun her around like an olympic hammer throw and threw her towards Issei. She was launched like an actual rocket as she used her flames on her shoes. And she hit his diaphragm.

I used blue once more and pulled them towards me. I chanted "Divine." and sent a dismantle his way while he kneed my sister and then tried to dodge but his right arm was still caught and finally, my dismantle was strong enough to completely sever his arm. I am surprised, just one word from a chant was strong enough to empower dismantle that much.

And then he completely turned his attention to me. He boosted several times and instead of several dragon shot spheres this time there is only one. One big enough to envelop his whole body.

This bastard is copying what I did by creating a blue big enough to envelop him. Now he wants to show that he can do it too. Fine bitch, here is my response.

"Divine. Sublimation. Deliverance" I chanted and slashed in front of me and my cursed energy was drained more than ever before. "Maximum Cursed Technique - Dismantle"

We sent our attacks towards each other, and the attacks struggled against each other a little bit. Until his dragon shot gave out and was cut cleanly. His cut attack went straight through both my sides, but I myself was unscathed.

Then like a shadow, my sister appeared behind him. And he immediately turned around but he was too late. My sister punched him in the stomach. And at that moment, a spatial distortion occurred and a black light came from where her fists impacted Issei.

The light of the strong came and only one thing could have happened.

"Black Flash!!!"

A/N:

Sorry did I trick you into it? That title is misleading isn't it hahaha. I really do feel bad though. By the way, what did you think about the chant I made for Sukuna's technique? I did 'Divine' to represent his Shrine. 'Sublimation' for one of the processes in flame cutting from converting solid to air, and for the word sublime which means glorious or resplendent. And 'Deliverance' because in Buddhism a knife means deliverance. Kinda cringe maybe? Cool? You tell me.
