Chapter 159: Pankration

"Very well then, both Lucy and I will go to get some food for all of us. So, girls, let's get to it!" Issei spoke, getting another nod from everyone as they all headed in their pursuit of things to buy.

Each have got a shopping list that Elsha made, each listing what they would need for the harsh Norwegian climate.

While Issei and his group were far away in Europe, back in Japan, the situation was coming to near destructive mood as a certain red-haired heiress was very pissed at her brother for what he did without her knowledge again.

"And do tell again my dear brother. Why did you allow one of my pieces to go to another country and faction without my thoughts or authorization? He is my piece and only I can decide if he can leave or NOT!" Rias yelled at her brother, while he was looking bored at her and slightly irritated by her actions and her behavior.

"Rias Gremory, I may be your brother but I'm also the Maou Lucifer, and my word is final. I told Issei to go to Europe to the Norse and Slavs for 2 reasons that could very much benefit both sides."

Sirzechs said in a voice that was no longer brotherly, but it was with more authority and power to make it crystal clear to Rias.

Hearing his strict voice made, Rias flinch a bit as she understood that she was starting to cross the line with her brother. So, she decided to ask why it was beneficial.

"And what will we gain by him going to Europe with that silver whore and other bitches?" Rias harshly asked, clearly still angry that at least she wasn't with Issei.

"If you really must know, Issei is there to revive Elsha the previous host of Ddraig, and while there to make contact with both Factions." Sirzechs answer making Rias rise her eyebrow at him.

"And why does he want to revive her? And why would we need to get into contact with some weak factions?"

"Why is something that isn't important to you Rias, as for "weak" factions that you mentioned? They are powerful enough to compete and win against us individually, combine I could say with ease that they would destroy the Three Factions with ease. So, I would stop thinking that we are the strongest when there are far more factions that are stronger."

Sirzechs answered her making her eyes go wide at what he said. But before she could say anything Sirzechs beat her to it.

"Well I will be off then, I will talk to you later about something also important. Till then little sis." Sirzechs spoke again and before Rias could even say a word, he vanished, leaving her alone in the clubroom as her peerage was off doing their devils work.

'Issei!' Rias shouted in her mind before she was brought back to reality by the magic circulars of her clan that light up the clubroom signalling that her team was back from their work.

As Issei and his team regrouped in the hotel, they all brought what they bought to Issei's room before they eat and calling it the day.

While everyone was asleep and resting, Issei, on the other hand, was in his mind again with Elsha, Belzard and Ddraig in Elsha's part of his mind.

With the former training with Belzard in his hand to hand combat, which proved to be hell, as Belzard was throwing Issei around like he was a used doll.

After his light sparing (ass whooping), Issei had magic training with Elsha, that was more like a shooting practice for her, Issei was also dominated in that regard. It was painfully clear to him, both past hosts of Ddraig where putting his training regimen into the next gear, while Ddraig just laid down on the grassy field of Elsha's domain. relaxing and laughing at his current host as he was again sent flying courtesy of Elsha's Ice magic.

After a few more rounds of getting his ass handed to him by both Elsha and Belzard, Issei finally managed to get some break as both hosts decided that Issei had enough for now, so they all sat down with Elsha, bringing some water and food for Issei with magic, which he devoured with dragons ferocity making everyone chuckle at his expense.

"Well Ise, that was a good warmup for what I'm about to teach you, Elsha also had to go through this so don't think that you are the only one."

Belzard said after Issei finished his bottle of water, making Issei go wide eyes as he started to pale a bit at what the Strongest Sekiryuutei said.

"T-this w-was just a... a... warmup?" Issei asked in fear making Belzard chuckle a bit.

"But of course, you didn't expect that this is all? Now what I'm about to teach you is somewhat similar to MMA, but unlike it, this is way more brutal.

It's called a Pankration, the ancient fighting style that was created by the most feared warriors in history.

The Spartans, as to how I know about it, was because an older Ddraig host that mentioned that on Mt.

Olympus where the Greek Gods' reside, is the place where the Greek god of war Ares also resides. Ares's personal guards are the finest, and bravest warriors in Ancient Greece's history.

They were known for their bravery, zeal, cunning and sheer brute strength and ferocity. I assume you heard of the famous 300 Spartans?" Belzard told Issei getting him to nod in acknowledgment.

"Good, the commander of Ares guards is none other than the great King of the Spartans, Leonidas himself.

The one that sacrificed his own life in order for the rest of the army to withdraw, and fight another while his royal guard and allies stayed to defend till their last breath.

From what I was told by the great Warrior King himself, is that it was on Ares's personal request that Hades let them out of the death lands, so they can serve their War God for eternity." Belzard explained more getting Issei so whistle in admiration for their deeds.
