Chapter 22 : Killing Riser

Yes, you are right pale as always. Thank you for reminding me of my goal.' He thanked the ancient dragon as he was feeling a new fire in him started to burn.

['One last thing Partner. I found out who is that presence that was waking up. And from the looks of thing, you will need only a little more power to awaken her.'] Stated Ddraig.

'Her?' Issei ask as he felt a bit of his perverted nature coming back at the thought of a beauty that might be awakening.

Before Ddraig could answer Grayfia appeared still in her maid uniform form the magic circular.

"My lady, is everyone ready for the battle?" Grayfia asked in her regal voice.

"Yes, Grayfia everyone is here and is ready to go." Issei's master answered as Grayfia nodded and then created a new circular.

"Everyone please step onto the magic circular that will take you directly to the battleground.

Good luck everyone" Instructed Grayfia as everyone did what was told and vanish in the bright light.

When the light died down they were at the exact spot where they entered a magic circular making Issei confused.

"I thought that we are going to the battleground, not to the ORC clubroom." He stated as he looked around.

"We are Ise in an artificial dimension and it looks like it's a copy of our school. That Riser sure has some guts for doing this."

Akeno answers him as he nodded satisfied with the information he was given.

"Everyone gather around me. It's almost time to start this game. So let's do our best and beat the crap out of this how Issei call his Fried Chicken."

Rias told them in a mighty voice to bring their spirits up.

"Yes, President!" All members shouted as all of them made a final quick check of their gears before the match.

'Now is show time' Thought Rias as she eagerly awaited Grayfia to start the game.

As they waited for Grayfia to announce the start of the game. Rias took the opportunity to unleash what remained of Issei's sealed power's that his outburst at church didn't unleash.

"Ise, come here and sit in front of me," Rias told her Pawn in a calm voice that made him confused.

"Sure but are you sure that we could sit down and chat while the game is about to start?" He questioned as he did what he was told.

"Don't worry, Rating games were created so that it would prepare Devils on how to handle every type of situation.

From blitzkrieg to a more objective type, like infiltration or capturing and holding specific strategic point's that were represented by flags." Informed him Akeno as she just finished brewing tea.

"That is correct and you don't need to be worried Ise I'm just going to unlock the power that was sealed when I revived you," Rias spoke as Ise did what he was told.

As Rias put her hand on his head he started gloving crimson and after a moment or two, he could feel the power in him rising as he looked at her with wide eyes.

"W-what is this? What is this power I feel?" He asked in shock at the new power that was flowing throw his veins and couldn't help but feels awestruck.

"That power, my dear cute Ise is the power I had to lock up when you were revived. Your power is dangerous and leaving it runinig wild would harm you even more.

At the church you almost unleashed all of your power, and all of us would be dead if you did, however, you were able to regain control over yourself before that could happen."

She explained as Issei stood up and started to power up a bit to feel his new powers that were dormant till now. He felt like he could fight anyone and still be at the top. But Ddraig decided that it was time for him to get his head back to reality.

[Partner as much as I also enjoy your added strength, you still need a way how to defeat a Phoenix and that's not that easy even with your power.]

Ddraig stated as he too felt the increase in power of his host that surprised him a little that if he was a little more powerful than maybe he would get a Balance Breaker state earlier than most of his host would.

"Yeah, you are right Ddraig I need to focus now." He answered.

At that moment all members of the Gremory and Phenex household heard Grayfia's announcement.

-Hello everyone. I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phoenix.

In the name of my Master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match.

By using both Rias and Raiser opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kuou academy, which Rias attends to in the human world.

The location where both teams were transported will be their "base". Rias "base" would be the Occult Research Cub's club room located in the old school building. Raiser "base" would be the Student Council's room located in the new building.

For the [Pawns] to use "promotion", please head to the enemy's base to do it. You have 5 minutes to strategies. After 5 minutes the game will begin. Your time to strategies begins now.-

"So I need to get to Fried Chickens Base to promote. That would be difficult." Issei said after hearing what Grayfia said.

"That's why my adorable little Ise we are going to make a plan to help us get a victory here," Rias said to her Pawn.

"Kiba can you please bring me a map of the school?" She requested her blond Knight as he nodded and left to look for it.

It only took a few seconds before the blonde boy returned with a map with him that he spread in front of Rias.
