Chapter 1053 Dragons

All the scrambling Deities stopped what they were doing to look at the sky where the strange but terrifying aura was coming from and saw two streaks of red and white light. Sadly for a few of them, that would be the last thing they would be seeing before they slept for all eternity, not knowing what hit them.

"W-what is that?" Miach loudly asked. The aura emanating from the red and white light was very different from what a Deity could emit. It was something more 'regal' and 'proud' which was also something very different from what Kisuke and his group showed.

Nobody answered his inquiry and instead, Ouranos asked Loki, "Should we move? The situation has changed." He and Zeus already understand that Loki had taken command of the group.

"No." Loki instantly answered, "Don't move nor show any hostile behavior. Their killing intent is all over the place and they might mistake us as being in the same group as everyone else."

Thankfully, Loki made the right call as the red and white light didn't really have a clear image of the battlefield and only received an instruction to assist the ones who were in a disadvantageous position and those who were not 'poisoned', "Do you think it's them?" the red light, Issei asked Vali.

"They're the only ones that don't possess the marked aura so it's probably them." the white light, Vali turned his attention to Kisuke and Yoruichi who were facing the strongest individual here while saying, "Go and talk to them to confirm their standing."

Issei looked at Vali for a moment before asking, "You didn't practice speaking their language, did you?"

Vali became silent and ignored Issei while speeding up.

"You're afraid that you'll embarrass yourself if you bite your tongue while trying to talk?" But Issei only received a mass of destructive Demonic Power in the form of silvery-white lightning. Issei immediately dodged it and the few Deities chasing behind them were reduced to nothing after a few seconds after being 'Divided' several times into nonexistence.

Issei only chuckled and flew towards the cornered Deities. Seeing their wary demeanor towards him, Issei released his helmet and revealed his face with a friendly smile, "Hello~! Are you perhaps Kisuke's friends?"

There was no answer for a moment until a slender woman with red hair and narrow eyes, "That's right. And you are?"

Issei sighed in relief as there seems to be no friendly fire that occurred, "I'm Issei Hyoudou, also Kisuke's friend. We came here after that guy asked for help."

He then turned around and shouted in Japanese, "Oi~! Vali! We got the correct people!"

But instead of acknowledging his words, Vali suddenly stopped and started chanting while his Demonic Power also spiked up to the highest degree, "The pure White Dragon dwelling within me, rise up from your supremacy..."

As he suddenly stopped mid-flight, the Deities around him thought it was a good opportunity and started bombarding him with various abilities.

At first, the attacks were being blocked by Vali's Defensive Magic, but it couldn't take more than a few seconds of attacks and soon went through it. Although Vali's Scale Mail boasted massive defenses, the attacks immediately started chipping parts of it with unique attacks that began to add rot to its unblemished surface. Within just a few seconds, Vali would be stripped of his armor and he'd be a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered.

However, he ignored all of those since none of them could kill him and the attacks that could prove fatal were still being charged, "Thou shalt kneel down before our bright and glorious existence!"

Before Vali's armor was completely stripped off, another one replaced it, and this time, with a mix of silver and black that was much more intricate and flamboyant. In addition to that, five more pairs of mechanical wings were added to his single pair which exuded a dangerous blue light.

"Diabolos Dragon Lucifer!"

However, hardly anyone was able to take note of his very drastic change in appearance as his aura went through a much more massive transformation.

"W-what is he?" Hermes asked with cold sweat dripping down from the temple of his forehead. He had to consciously stop himself from shaking in fear.

His explosion of Demonic Power that was enough to make most people kneel was accompanied by a Godly aura. But terrifyingly, the Godly aura was something far from the Deities present and they could only hope to achieve in their dreams, as it was much closer to Chaos' than theirs.

Nevertheless, Issei didn't really have the luxury to answer him since he's also looking at Vali with a nervous expression, "...He's not doing 'that', is he?"

But his wishes were trampled by his partner, [Why not? Isn't this the best situation for 'that'?]

"Fuck!" Issei cursed and hurriedly turned toward the Deities, "Hurry! Let's get away from here!"

Issei didn't wait for their answer as he noticed that they were still dumbfounded by Vali's appearance and forcefully dragged them with him using Magic.

After being forcefully moved, the Deities finally reacted and saw Issei's panicked demeanor and wondered what was making him so scared since it was his ally.

Thankfully, their confusion was soon answered when Vali put both of his hands together and muttered in an unknown language, "Satan Compression Divider."

When Issei heard this, the boosters on his back extended and erupted to further increase his speed while dragging more or less 50 Deities away with him.

The next instant, a flash of silvery-white and black demonic radiance illuminated the whole area for a few seconds.

When the magnificent light disappeared, the Deities within a certain radius around Vali vanished without any trace, as if they didn't exist in the first place, and those further behind them started dropping like flies with most of their strength sapped out, reducing them to almost powerless mortal-like existence.

Issei, who'd just got out of its area of effect muttered, "That insane bastard. I'll give his chuunibyou diary to Kisuke later."

[Hey! That's a low blow!] Even Ddraig, who didn't really react much to anything, thought that his idea was very cruel.

As for Vali himself, while still feeling a massive power welling up from his very core, a chill went down his spine suddenly and made him very alert, 'What was that!?'
