Chapter 89 R-18+

"What the hell?" Valerie said in shock.

Issei looked at the bird and stared at him, "Get out of here buddy. I know Ravel probably sent you to watch over me like a mother hen, but now it's serious time. I don't want you getting hurt from the power we're about to put out." Issei said calmly to the intrigue of the others.

"Alright but you know Lady Ravel won't be happy." The bird nodded.

"Yes but that never stopped me before and it won't stop me now." Issei smiled.

"Very well." the bird nodded before vanishing in flames.

Issei focused for a bit to ensure that the familiar and any other observers might be gone and after knowing as much focused back on the other two combatants.

"You said that it's serious time now. Does that mean you've been holding out on us?" Valerie teased.

"Yeah. I was going to do something else before you showed up and now, I'd say it's time to take this to the next level" Issei smiled.

"If you're telling me it's time to take things seriously. I'll respond in kind." Kokabiel smiled before focusing his power.

The energy around the Fallen was visible and even Valerie shuddered.

"I hope you know what you're doing. I mean I've been holding back too but now Koky is taking it seriously." Valerie said nervously.

Issei looked towards his rival with a vicious grin., "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." Issei chuckled causing Valerie's eyes to widen before a grin of her own appeared on his face.

Kokabiel twitched heavily, "Any day now you two. If I wanted to watch horny people flirt all day, I'd have gone to one of Azazel's bars." Kokabiel twitched.

"Hey, I'm not that horny right now." Issei retorted.

"That's your complaint." Valerie sweatdropped.

Issei smiled before focusing as his expression turned from playful to serious, "But you are right. Maybe it's time I pump things up." Issei smiled "BALANCE BREAKER"

Valerie and Kokabiel's eyes widened as power exploded from Issei and soon Issei's balance breaker was revealed.

It was crimson armor with a dragon-like head and a red tail. "Now that's more like it." Kokabiel smiled.

"Yeah and since he was so nice to start the party. I think it's my turn to get into my dancing clothes" Valerie smiled before uttering the same sentence.

"BALANCE BREAKER." Now it was the White Dragon's turn to reveal her power and hers was a white and gold armor with a tail and the same blue energy wings.

"Now we're talking." Kokabiel smiled happily as he allowed his own power to flow.

The fallen Angel cadre knew that things were about to get good.

(Outside)

"What the heck is going on in there." Momo growled as she and the others tried to restrain the barrier.

Issei and Valerie both using their balance breakers upped the ante.

"The battle is getting serious most likely. Lady Valerie is a battle junkie which means she's going to enjoy facing a cadre." Le Fay sighed.

"Which means Issei is taking it seriously himself. Well this just got interesting." Sona continued.

"What do you mean by that?" Xuelan wondered.

"Issei suggested long ago that Rias wasn't nearly strong enough to reincarnate him, but although the performance against Riser was something, I always got the feeling he was holding back his true strength."

"So how strong is he when he's serious." Reya wondered.

"I don't know but what I do know is this. We won't be able to hold back or this will get ugly." Sona frowned as she poured more magic into the barrier.

"We'll discuss this later." Momo scowled before doing the same.

'This Red Dragon Emperor must be some person if these girls are fighting over him. I guess this will be interesting for Lady Valerie after all.' Le Fay mused mentally before doing the same.

(Battlefield)

With both Balance Breaker's ready the two dragon Emperors were primed to strike. "Mind if I go first Valerie" Issei smiled as he stood clad in his balance breaker.

"Go ahead but don't die." Valerie teased.

"Yeah yeah" Issei chuckled before charging Kokabiel.

"Bring it" Kokabiel smiled before coating his hands with Holy Power.

"I see what you're up to" Issei smiled rearing back to show a right jab.

"BOOST x 5"

"That's right boy. Show me what you can do" Kokabiel shouted as he met his jab with his coated fist.

The two fists collide and the brief clash made for a powerful burst of energy.

"Not bad" Valerie smiled as she felt the clash.

"Not bad boy but let's see you handle this." Kokabiel smiled as he disengaged briefly in order to nail Issei at close range with a holy spear.

Issei was ready and used his speed to create some distance.

"Nice try but you're going to have to do better than that. Thanks to training with Raynare Mittelt and Kalwarner I know even the most skilled fallen needs a moment or two to make their spears. If I can sense that timing, I can dodge it." Issei smiled.

"Yes, but I'm on a whole different level from Raynare. You are correct that most fallen need about a second and a half to make their holy spears. However I can make mine in a millisecond if I so chose. By the time you sensed my spear it would be through your gut and you'd be dead" Kokabiel countered.

"Well fuck" Issei groaned. If he was that fast then he wouldn't stand a chance.

"However if you make me even consider doing that it'll be your victory. So shall we-" Kokabiel taunted before he was forced to move because Valerie had taken the chance to speed behind him.

"He's not the only dragon in this fight Kokabiel and you know how dangerous I am." Valerie smiled her sacred gear ready to go.

"Damn you" Kokabiel cursed trying to move away but even he was too late.
