Chapter 55 Rias was still fighting.

She had thought about fighting the best like this.

But yet, she found that their fight was one-sided. Issei Hyoudou did quite a number on their Peerage and he was just the push that Rias Gremory needed to be able to win over her older brother.

The [Bishop] of Riser Phenex got out better than most of her mates. But they were in capable hands.

The Phenex Heiress walked through the halls of the house. It was no surprise to find both her parents and Rias' watching the games going on.

She could imagine that the parents of Rias found the scene to be very entertaining. Especially Venelana Gremory enjoyed the fight with delight.

Her father didn't share the enthusiasm but there could be lessons to be learned here from Issei.

"Father, mother, Lord, and Lady Gremory." As the young lady, she bowed her head to the elders in the room. Her eyes found Sirzechs sitting back in one of the chairs.

Before she could bow down to one of the most powerful Devils in history, Sirzechs waved her away while her hand ruffled the top of her head.

"I am here for the same reason, you're here, Ravel. As a sister. So don't worry about it." The girl bowed down and then joined her mother while they examined the screens.

For the first time, Ravel didn't know if her brother would come out on top.

She, like many Devils, heard the stories of the White Saint. And well, it showed how he fought.

Ravel was intrigued by him. There was something about him.

For once, she would wait and see.

Scene skip

The floor boiled beneath them. Issei would give Albion all he wanted for saving him by activating his [Sacred Gear]. Without it, he would have been boiled alive. Even he couldn't withstand that much heat without his armor.

The shining white armor protected him from the heat that was coming through from the floor as Riser had fully shone through the place.

When he thought Riser, the yakitori had taken place in front of the school while he sent a full fire wave through the battleground.

Issei wanted to worry about Koneko and Kiba but found that it was impossible to move from his place.

His head turned to see the [Knight] and [Rook] screaming before it became too much.

[Rias Gremory. One [Knight]. One [Rook] retired.]

While there was relief that they weren't killed, it still filled Issei with anger that Riser would have done this to his squad mates. His eyes were narrowed to dangerous slits as he looked up at Riser.

The Phenex Heir scoffed when he watched how Issei had survived.

"I do not have time for trash like you. The heat will finish you off. I'm going after my prize."

His wings were made of flames and he took off to get to Rias.

He could hear the Gremory heiress shout in his ear.

[Issei, what is going on? Where are Koneko and Yuuto?]

The Dragon began to think about what he had to say.

[Rias, you got bigger worries. Riser is incoming. Get out of there.]

He wished he could crane his neck as far as to see what was going on but despite the impact that Riser made, the old school building was still standing.

And the fact that he didn't hear any announcements, meant Rias was still fighting.

[Rias, I am coming! If I can get out of this mess!]

It was like wading through a huge mountain of mud. Boiling hot, moving, and deep mud.

Issei didn't suffer from the heat but found that his heavy armor was actually keeping him stuck.

"Issei-kun." Turning his head, he was never more grateful to see Akeno standing with a spell ready.

"Ready?"

He didn't have a clue what she had in mind but just nodded.

Freezing cold water engulfed the magma which caused the ground to harden up. Issei broke through and shined through the damage.

Turning to Akeno, he was smiling through the mask and gave her a thumbs-up.

"Akeno, I can kiss you right now." The shrine maiden giggled when she heard that line. Especially given the fact that Issei didn't use his playboy voice but his genuine tone when he said that.

"I'll hold you on that. Glad to help you out."

Issei turned to see the magic flying between Rias and Riser. Summoning his sword once again, he checked out if the Jackal had survived the heated barrage.

Part of him wished he could find it again when the Game ended but another part knew that if the gun had perished, it went out the best way it could.

That was why Issei packed two handguns.

The Casull was still intact.

"I'd love to stay behind to help you, Akeno but I am afraid that Rias would need my help!"

The [Queen] understood his choice of words and Issei took off like a jet.

The distance wasn't that much to fly but he didn't want to waste any more time.

Especially when he heard Grayfia's voice echoing over the place.

[Rias Gremory. One [Bishop] retired.]

Now, Riser really pissed him off. He could see how the Phenex sent another wave toward Rias. He wasn't going to let anyone hurt her.

With a glance behind him, the Dragon realized that she had sustained one too many injuries.

Cuts and scrapes and that were if he ignored the burns that she had sustained. But that wasn't the worst of it. Her clothes had been burned away, revealing her most prominent assets.

Riser had been aiming at that for a reason. Too bad it was more fuel to Issei's fire to really tear him a new one.

Rias was running on fumes and that was with Asia's support.

The Riser Heir glared at him and sent another wave his way.

"I had hoped that the heat would make short work of you." Issei's glare was kept at him.

"Too bad for you." Akeno had caught up with the two and she started to retake the work of Asia.

"Akeno."

"Be still. Let him take care of this." Rias wanted to protest but she found that her best friend was right.
