Chapter 92 - Calm before the storm

Issei never had expected that he would be able to have power of going back in time. He once trued returning in the present then used his power to go forward but it was impossible and only going back is the best he can do. Though, it was still extremely useful as he was able to trained Saraiorg for a whole year in the span of few days inside his temporary training grounds aa going to his would make the other notice him.

He was able to improve Saraiorg strength to the point of surpassing his previous self and become a S-ranked low Primodial god and D-ranked middle primordial god with Regulus on. Issei was able to improved it by tinkering surprising Regulus but he only received additional function that came from Uriel divine flames which dramatically increase his physical strength where the sun is at noon.

"Your getting better!"

"Of course I want to surpass you!"

In the present(or past?), Issei and Sairaorg was having sparring sensation. They flew in the sky where the latter was enveloped in golden armor and flames with his fist colliding at his opponent own strike. He grinned then roared increasing his strength pushing forward moment but Issei grinned revealing his eyes.

"Nephilim Strike."

Issei body moved on its own strike sairaorg that point all his fingers to pierces him but was able to barely evade then counter punching his head splattered it. He didn't stopped took the opportunity to kick him to the ise slicing him in half then used burst of flame from his sacred gear.

"Cruel sun!"

A massive miniature sun enveloped Issei body incinerating even the sub atoms along with the surrounding destroying the same mass as the whole north America.

Everything had turn into burning wasteland with only Sairaorg standing but was barely reacted when immense force launch him hundred kilometers into the sky then Sent back in high velocity resulting massive crater to form.

Sairaorg barely able to stand when he saw the person regenerating with only half of his face and an arm hover in the air.

"I'm impressed you even affected my regeneration. You are certainly improving."

"Hahaha your really monster. I had to give my all for split second just to scratch you."

"Don't need to be disappointed. If any other people then they would surely be dead or take thousand years to regenerate."

Issei finished regenerating that only took him longer time due Sairaorg distorted the flow his immortality. Though, he was barely trying and his friend knew it that his power far eclipses anyone beside the outer gods.

He approached sairaorg and held our his hand which the latter grabbed with a grinned. Both left training grounds and was greeted by brown haired woman who looked concern seeing them looked shit.

"Are you alright? Did you guy finish training?"

"Yes mother we had just taking breather then return back and spar again."

The woman was none other than Misla who had been healed when Issei arrived. She was surely shocked to be alive and was in the past but overjoyed that her son with other she loved was alive. Issei had been getting along with her that he noticed that she becoming passionate with him.

He was hesitant since Sairaorg was good friend of his and doesn't want to make their relationship awkward but does loved Misla since she was unfortunate woman to marry a bastard such as Lord Bael. Fortunately, Issei had enslave Lord Bael to at least provide support to Misla.

"Its been quite a while you've been here. This time manipulation is quite useful when catching up with people."(Misla)

"Yeah I thought this would at least help relieve your stress."

"Hey thanks a lot for the helped. You made me grow even stronger than before."(Sairaorg)

Misla was carrying tray of food as the two a snack with Issei drank a cupped of tea enjoying its aroma. He felt the air was calm before the storms and knew it impossible to enjoy tea for long time when dark apostle arrives. Issei was able to confirm that the only dark apostle remaining was in that secret area. He did used [entropy] to gain a small information.

'I need to head back after this. Or I am already there? Maybe once I leave sairaorg would meet with tea'

Both of them finished their break went back to the training grounds while Misla watched them arrived on the battleground

"He really that I won't recognize him huh? Issei even my son know who you are."(Misla)

She giggled since those who are guided would instantly know that person guiding them and the stronger their connection the easy he can be recognized. The screened showed immense shockwaves from each of their strike pushing the clouds along the way.

"Whip strike! Heavy fist! Swift claw!"

Sairaorg fist became a whip striking his opponent head who dodges then attacked with his other arm with a powerful fist strike next claw offensive that slice through Issei's thicker defenses. Every attack was coated in his [Sunshine].

"Impressive but dodge this!"

Issei cast countless magic spell in Omni directional place cornering Sairaorg who remained grinning accepting the challenged then used his [Sunshine].

"Crazy prominence!"

He burst smaller miniature sun all the magic circle obliterating the magic circle around him then loaded his fist placing an immense force in his next strike then.

"Lion king pride fist!"

Issei was shocked sensing the danger knowing it burst his stamina to go back into the present tried to evade but met Sairaorg's first blowing his head. He was forced to use spatial shift to escaped and regenerate.

"Alright you pass, I didn't expect that you'd force me to used Spatial to escape."

"Don't be like we can go at it much longer."

"Unfortunately, no as I already told you once that you force me used any of my special skills then you pass."

"If that's the case then are you going to confess your Issei?"

"So you know? When did you realize?"

"The moment you restore our memory but we all knew your hiding that fact for some reason."

"You got me there but I thought at least you wouldn't notices. Perhaps it's because of my Guidance's."

Issei hadn't been able to raise his level to any significant number only gain a small percentage. He needed to found a stronger opponent to gain another job.

"And as for my mother affection to you? I don't really mind it since I want to see her happy and I know you'd be able to give it."

"Sairaorg are you sure?"

"Hahah of course but don't expect calling you my dad anytime soon."

"Hehehe no that would be a nightmare to think about."

"Hey let's grabbed a drink like old times while you tell me what happened after we all died."

"Sure cause it will be a long story."

The two of them head back and met with his peerage who had considerably grown stronger as well. They threw a party enjoying the peaceful time before the war. Misla found Issei at the balcony seeing the artificial sky. She approached him giving warm smile then confess her feeling to him.

"Are you certain about this Misla?"

"Of course I know you're the only man who always think about his woman before himself. You are a kind person and despite how much pain you went through never stray in your path."

"if that's the case then you must know something."

Issei told her about becoming a dragon which she excited accepted enjoying their time in the bed. She was in bliss more than what her husband can do and fell asleep with a smile. Misla turns into a dragon after stabbing the dagger into her while she was asleep causing her to be enveloped in a cocoon then shatter resulting in her becoming more beautiful and stronger.

He waited for them to wake up then telling them about the upcoming battle. Issei didn't need to use much energy as he shifted back in the present returning in the training grounds.

'Issei Sairaorg came to visit!'(Rias)

"Don't worry I told them to come. Now today will be a showdown with the dark apostle."

Issei went to meet up with Sairaorg while telling his lovers what he had been up to shocking them about having [Time leap]. After discussing with them about upcoming fight the battle maniac couldn't help but be excited.
