Chapter 165

"Now. Can you not kill my sister's beloved pawn?"

Sirzechs Lucifer is one of the strongest beings in this world. Holding the power of destruction, he can destroy Japan with only a slight effort.

And now this man has arrived here, and he looks like he is about to enter his true form. The form that makes even Hades cover is because of its sheer destruction.

"Do you have a way to make sure he is not going on a rampage?"

Sirzech nods his head and says.

"Yes. My fellow Satan will be the one taking care of it."

I look at Issei and see a light green-haired man holding Issei with his power. This must be Ajuka Beelzebub.

"Ajuka! Can you do it?!"

Sirzechs shouts at Ajuka, who nods his head.

"Give me a few minutes."

Sirzechs nods his head and looks at me.

"As you can see, we will take care of this."

"Good. We are lucky he went on a rampage while here. Ah, how is your sister? Do I need to heal her?"

Sirzechs shakes his head, and I can see his anger flashing out of his eyes. However, he managed to hold it back and said,

"Thank you for your concern. Rias has already been healed by one of your people. I think her name is Asia. She will heal her and make sure nothing bad happens."

"That is good. If you need anything, call me."

"Of course. You have already done enough. We will do the rest."

I watch as Ajuka creates many formulas around Issei, and I widen my eyes when I see the shape of a dragon coming out of Issei.

"Is he doing what I thought he was doing?"

Sirzechs nods his head and says.

"Yes. He will separate Ddraig's soul and Boosted Gear out of his body."

"Will it be okay? Getting out a Sacred Gear is something that can kill the user, right?"

"Supposedly. However, Issei is unique. Because he is in Juggernaut Drive mode, his resistance and regeneration increase by a lot. He will survive the procedure. At least, that is what Ajuka told me, and I believe him."

"Right."

I watch Ajuka continue to create more and more formulas, and a minute later, an energy that looks like a dragon appears outside of Issei. It has the shape of Ddraig and has the same color as the Dragon of Domination.

"Ah. I am free. At least for a moment."

Ddraig smiles as he looks at his temporary body. But after a few seconds, he looks at me.

"You! Dragon slayer."

"Yes?"

"Fight me."

I look at him in confusion and say.

"You are free for a moment, and the first thing you want to do is fight. Are you insane?"

Ddraig laughs and says.

"We are dragons, fools! We do whatever we want! Not even dying will change that! And I want to fight you! You, Dragon Slayer! Tell me your name and fight me!"

I look at Ddraig for a moment before turning my head toward Sirzechs. I see him nod his head and take Issei away. I release a sigh and take a deep breath.

"My name is Ryan Hernandes, Dragonborn, and Sky Dragon Slayer!"

"Gahahahaha! Good! Show your fang! Show the world the roar of a dragon!"

After saying that, Ddraig appears in front of me and punches me to the ground. He then released a blast of breath toward me.

"Gahahaha! Is that all you can do?!"

I can hear his mocking laugh. I wipe the blood from my mouth and grin. I open my mouth and shout.

"Su Grah Dun!"

I shout and feel my legs and arms get stronger and faster. I grab my sword and throw Excalibur Galtine at Ddraig. He raises his hand and blocks the incoming attack. However, while he blocks my first attack, I appear in front of him and punch Ddraig.

"Sky Dragon's Wind Hammer!"

I increased the power behind my attack as it hit Ddraig in the head. I eat the air around me as I keep pumping more power into my attack.

"Gahahaha! That's it! I can feel it! However, it is not enough! BOOST!"

He slowly rises from my attack and uses his other hand to attack me. I cancel my attack and block the attack. I can feel my body get thrown away and land on the ground. I quickly jump away when I see Ddraig appear above me and use his body weight to try and flatten me.

I call my weapon back and raise it to block another barrage of attacks from Ddraig.

"How can a dragon like you know martial arts?!"

I roar and push him away. This bastard keeps sending a barrage of punches at me without creating any opening for me to use.

"Gahahaha! I learned this from one of my wielders."

Seeing I don't have any other way, I let his punch land on my chest and let Gawain's armor take most of the damage. I grunt a little because of the pain, but I can move and swing my sword.

*Thunk*

My sword hits his scale, and I follow the attack with another attack. Instead of blocking, Ddraig only grins and accepts my attack so he can keep attacking me. I even take out Doujigiri Yasutsuna and dual-wield it with Excalibur Galatine to keep up with Ddraig.

We fight in close range for a few minutes before Ddraig kicks me away and says.

"You are something, Ryan! Truly! I want to fight you a bit longer. Sadly, this body is at its limit. You are the best fighter who is not Albion. Come at me with your strongest attack. Let's end this with our strongest attack."

I nod.

'Grandeeney, can I use that attack?'

I can feel Grandeeney think for a few seconds before saying.

"I will allow it. However, use your strongest thu'um to make sure you are not dying after using that attack."

'Will do.'

I take a deep breath and gather a massive amount of soul energy. A few seconds later, I look to the sky and shout.

"Mul Qah Diiv!"

After I shouted, a massive dragon appeared in the sky and entered my body. A second later, an armor made of energy appears around me, and the head of a dragon appears around my face. Also, a pair of dragon wings made of energy appear from my back.

However, I am not done yet. I eat a lot of air and boost my power to the very limit. My body is now full of scale, and the energy wings behind me have changed into real ones. White wings appear behind me, and feathers appear around my legs and hands.

I put all those energies into one attack and even take a lot of lifeforce from my soul into this one attack. I am lucky that Dragon Aspect makes my life force into a dragon life force.

I can see an image of Grandeeney figure appear above me and Ddraig grinning at me.

"Who is that dragon?"

"My second mother, Grandeeney. Sky Dragon Queen."

"I shall remember her name. Come! Let's end this!"

I touch the ground and say.

"Charge!"

The image of Grandeeney roars into the sky.

"Flow!"

I raise and dash forward. I run with all my power, and when I appear in front of Ddraig, I jump and shout.

"Wrath of Sky Dragon Queen!"

I do a dive kick toward Ddraig, who meets my attack head-on with his head. Our attack collides and creates a massive explosion that destroys anything in its path. After a few seconds of battle, my attacker wins the fight, and I punch through half of his head and destroy half of his body.

As I land on the ground, I can see Ddraig still standing with a massive grin.

"Gahahaha! Fantastic! I, Y Ddraig Goch, the Red Dragon Emperor, declare you, Ryan Hernandes, the strongest human! Let this declaration be known throughout the world!"

After hearing his declaration, my entire body gets weak, and the last thing I know before darkness consumes is red energy entering my body.
