Issei was image training in the library when he felt a sudden disturbance in the atmosphere.
'A Barrier?' He opened his eyes with an scowl and went near the window to see what was going on.
He knew something was going to happen today, but this was beyond his expectation or even imagination.
Hundreds of Fallen Angels had gathered in the sky with an huge dome like barrier around the school campus.
"Come out and die, Bitches of Gremory and Sitri Clan!" A loud voice bellowed and Issei spotted the man. He was the strongest Fallen Angel in the entire group with four pair of wings on his back.
Issei chose to observe the enemy first.
[Name: Kokabiel
Level: 67
Age: Millennials
Race: Fallen Angel
Rank: Cadre (8 Wings)
Title: God's Lunatic
Strength: 116
Endurance: 162
Agility: 82
Intelligence: 62
Wisdom: 24
Luck: 21
Relation: 0 (Unknown).]
This was the second strongest person Issei had observed after Wukong. Even so, he wasn't intimidated by the figure because he knew he had a fair chance of defeating him.
Although, that wasn't the problem right now.
The Hundreds of Fallen Angels that Kokabiel had brought along started attacking the students on the campus with thier light based weapons, causing several explosions all across the school.
'What am I supposed to do?' Issei thought by clenching his fists. He was smart enough to know that he wasn't supposed to take any action right now, because otherwise the System would've already issued an Quest.
[Your Wisdom has increased by 2 Points.]
[You're correct. The Gamer has already been issued the Quest to deal with the Invasion, your objective is something else.]
'Hm.' Issei nodded as he understood what Isis meant. He still had to retrieve the other two Holy swords that were with the Exorcists sent by Church.
There was a loud roar of an dragon that caused an tremor on the school grounds. Issei saw it, like an Red flash it appeared in the sky and decimated the Fallen Angels one after another with its single blow.
The Red Dragon Emperor, the Sekiryuutei.
Issei had to admit, the Bastard was strong with that Draconic Ki continously pouring power into his body. His Stats were going twice and twice with every single Boost, to the point that Issei doubted if Vali was the stronger of the two Dragon Emperors.
If the Ability to divide powers was absurd, then the ability to twice boost one's power was even more ridiculous.
Still, Issei felt an hole in his chest when he looked at that armour. A sense of emptiness that was eating him from inside.
He was so busy contemplating Yuuki that he didn't notice that others had joined the battle as well. Rias' Peerage, Sona's Peerage and rest of Yuuki's group, which included the Pervert Duo, Kalawarna, Mittlet, and Raynare.
The Fallen Angels on Kokabiel's side spewed curses to the Fallen Angel bitches who had joined Yuuki's side. They were called traitors, until the same traitors plunged their heads with light sabers and spears.
Raynare was a rank above the normal Fallen Angels, and considering she was also using her Sacred Gear, her stats were also boosted twice. She was close to a Fallen Angel with three pair of wings, only a rank below Kokabiel.
"Where are the Holy Swords?!" Kokabiel demanded as he came face to face with the Red Dragon Emperor, "I know you have them! My subordinates found Valper and Freed dead in the forest!"
"Dead?" Xenovia frowned, "We fought that crazed maniac last night but they had managed to escape!"
"Was it you, Yuuki-kun?" Irina asked her childhood friend.
"No, it wasn't me." Yuuki answered without looking back at her, as his sole focus was on Kokabiel.
He could easily defeat the ugly Crow, but it was something else, a matter entirely different that had been bugging him for a while now but he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.
"Where are the Holy Swords then?" Rias questioned as her Peerage dealt with the rest of the Fallen Angels.
Much to Kokabiel's annoyance, his army was falling down faster than he had expected. The entire campus was getting covered in the feathers of the dead Fallen Angels, because their bodies turn into light upon death.
Suddenly, the barrier around the campus shattered as a unknown figure made his appearance. The White Amoured figure broke through the barrier like an flash of white light and pummelled Kokabiel into the ground with an single punch.
"Divide!"
"Kokabiel, you've gone too far this time." Vali stated by glancing at the thrashed Fallen Angel, "But you're not the reason I'm here." He looked at Yuuki by flying on the same level as him, "The Red Dragon Emperor."
"We finally meet." Yuuki grinned behind his helmet. Only if the Primordial could've approved his wish to Genderbend Vali, he wouldn't have to kill him.
"Oy, Pink Baffoon." Albion called out.
There was no response.
"Ddraig." Albion called out again in an stoic voice, "This isn't a joke."
"I think you were right, Albion." Vali remarked seriously as he took a fighting stance, "He isn't the real Red Dragon Emperor."
Everyone who heard Vali was astounded. The fight literally stopped for a moment as they were all too baffled to process the information.
"How can that be possible? Yuuki is the Red Dragon Emperor!" Rias defended her boyfriend, "The fact that he can use the Balance Breaker is more than enough proof, because most of its host were not even able to control its powers."
"Ddraig." Albion called out in an desperate attempt to reach out to his rival, "You are the Dragon of Domination, Power, and Pride. How can this happen to you?"
Suddenly, Yuuki felt a deep burn as the Orb on his chest shimmered with an faint light, "Albion.. You shithead. " Ddraig answered in a weak voice.
"Quiet, you damn Lizard!" Yuuki lost his temper at the intense pain on his chest and pulled out the Orb from his armour before throwing it away.
Issei's eyes instinctively went to the green Orb that fell on the ground. He felt the object desperately calling out to him, so much that he had started to subconsciously move without his mind processing any actions.
"Vali." Albion called out to his host, "Forgive me, I need to do this."
Vali was confused by what Albion meant, until he felt the darkness slowly swallowing his consciousness.
"I, who am about to awaken," Albion chanted as an powerful blue aura enveloped around Vali's body.
"Albion, I can use the Juggernaut Drive on my own!" Vali shouted to regain control, but Albion proved to be way stronger than he had imagined.
"Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God"
Yuuki flinched at the sudden rise in his opponent's power and flew back to gain a safe distance between them.
'This is bad.' He knew he cannot match the powers of an Heavenly Dragon yet, because his own Boosted Gear was corrupt and incapable of producing such power.
"I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream""
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
"I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy" Vali groaned, surprising Albion with his willpower and determination to stay in control.
"And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise." Vali and Albion chanted together, "JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!"
"Boost!"
The gigantic figure of an actual Dragon sent shivers through the spines of everyone laying eyes upon it. The power was so majestic that the structure of the school campus and building had started eroding from the radiation of its Aura.
Vali disappeared in a flash leaving a trail of blue light behind him and crashed into Yuuki with an strong punch, which sent him crashing through the school building and into the mountains.
"Divide!" Albion roared with its form getting larger.
He charged an Sonic Beam, but was interrupted when the power of destruction and a thunderbolt blasted upon its armour. Despite the powerful attacks, there wasn't a single scratch on the armour.
Instead,
"Divide!"
"Divide!"
Albion used the attacks to make himself stronger by absorbing its powers.
"Pests." Vali grumbled when an wire was launched towards him to pull him towards the ground, "Worthless effort." He glanced at the bald headed boy and shot an blast towards him.
"Mirror Alice." Tsubaki stepped in front of the attack and used her Sacred Gear to rebound the blast with twice the force.
Vali staggered back from the attack, but was slightly confused. He couldn't understand how these people had the courage to stand up before him, despite their entire bodies shivering in his presence.
It wasn't determination or willpower like Issei had displayed in thier fight, it was something else that was forcing them to fight against him.
Issei noticed the same thing and frowned with an thoughtful expression. The Orb had somehow disappeared the moment he had picked it up, after which, he noticed what was going on with Vali.
"That's enslavement magic." He heard Kokabiel mutter, who standing not too far from him, "It's a lost magic that was used by the original Satans."
"What lost magic?" Issei asked out of curiosity.
Kokabiel snorted and decided to humour the human boy before killing him, "Their souls are bound to their master and what they are doing right now is protecting themselves, because if the master dies, so do they." Kokabiel laughed in amusement, "So the Gremory heiress has already been defiled by that Sekiryuutei."
Issei didn't have to be an genius to understand that the magic worked through sex, 'So everyone that Yuuki has slept with, now have thier souls bound to him.' He was a little flabbergasted.
Kokabiel launched his right hand towards Issei like an spear to slice off his head, but Issei causally slapped it away with the back of his right hand.
Kokabiel was too astounded to react for a while. Wasn't he supposed to be just an normal human who didn't stand a chance against him?
"Who are you?" Kokabiel asked seriously.
[You have discovered the Gamer's second minor and final wish.]
'Is there any way to break the bond between Yuuki and these morons?' Issei asked as he started walking towards the group that had started engaging Vali in a suicidal fight.
Kokabiel was speechless as the boy turned his back towards him and started walking away. He charged an light spear to attack his back for the insolence, but he sensed an intimidating force halting him on his tracks.
It was like an Dragon's blazing eyes had gazed right into his soul.
Yuuki returned from suffering the damage caused to his armour and grinned ear to ear when he saw his pawns fighting Vali in order to protect him. That's exactly what he wanted when he made the wish. Not only did he start with +50 relationship with anyone he made contact with, they would also be easily charmed by his looks and have their souls bound to him even before they comprehended what was happening.
All his pawns were madly in love with him and they would do anything to protected their loved one. So much, that they would devote their lives to his pleasure.
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
"Boos--" There was a sudden crack in the voice of the Boosted Gear and Yuuki realised that he wasn't Boosting anymore.
'What's going on?!' He demanded his System.
(The Source of your Boosted Gear's power has escaped through one of its Cores.)
Yuuki remembered removing a core from his chest when Ddraig tried to regain consciousness. He immediately started searching for the core but spotted something else.
His eyes went wide in horror when he saw an massive Aura exploding from Issei's body.
"Fuck!" Yuuki yelled an curse and immediately Observed the peice of shit.

Yuuki fainted for a few seconds when he saw Issei's Status. He was still stronger Stats wise, but what was wrong with his Hit Points, Stamina Points, and Mana Points? Why were they all twice their original capacity?
