Chapter 7

"Now let me show the power of the Red Dragon Emperor!!" Issei continued shouting now donning Draig's Scale Mail.

'Wow, he shot up from low-class to high-class' thought Craig, a little distracted which Issei unknowingly took advantage off. He appeared before Craig while throwing a punch which blew Craig off his few and threw him a few metres back.

"Not bad, it really would have been boring if you couldn't take a few claws" said Craig as he stood up with a bruise on his chest caused by Issei's attack. Right now Issei was slightly more powerful than Craig, but that wasn;t for much longer.

*ENHANCE*

"This is my current limit" said Craig as his power multiplied six times.

"Careful patner, He is now at the uttermost limit of high-class. If he could enhance himself one more time, he could reach the Ultimate threshold." Commented Draig.

"Correct. It seems I can't enhance myself to Ultimate class without the Principles you possess. This is why I won't stop until I get them" explained Craig seriously before he spread his mouth wide open and started gathering an enormous amount of mana.

"Be prepared. This next attack could kill you if you make a single mistake" urged Draig seriously.

"Yes" said Issei before he also started gathering mana but in both his palms.

*Wyvern Overlord Blaster*

*Double Dragon Shot*

The blast from Craig's mouth and the one from Issei's palms mashed into each other with tremendous force. The area in a twenty-metre radius around the spot of impact instantly disintegrated before the area of effect started spreading causing Rias, Sona and co. to quickly fly off into the distance.

A minute before, in the sky away from the battle, Stephen was busy deflecting light spears from Kokabiel with his strengthen Light sword which could barely hold on.

"I wonder how much longer you can hold on" laughed Kokabiel as he continued throwing his barrage of spears.

[Ding!!] [Adept Swordsmanship skill has evolved] [Veteran Swordsmanship has been obtained]

Suddenly, Stephen got better at deflecting the spears from Kokabiel which caused him to throw more spears faster. Unfortunately, his light sabe… sword had decided that it had had enough and snapped.

Kokabiel smiled as he saw his spears hurled off at the defenceless person before the person in question swatted of the spears with the back off his hand.

"How is that possible? You were struggling just a second ago" questioned a surprised Kokabiel. He really wasn't worried as he hadn't been taking this whole seriously from the start.

"I just practising with my sword. Thanks for that by the way" replied Stephen.

'With partial transformation, Sturdy Saint and hardening, I didn't feel a thing when deflecting those spears.' He thought as he undid the exo-skeleton on the back of his hand.

Kokabiel frowned a bit when he saw that his opponent wasn't taking the fight seriously as well.

Suddenly, a large explosion happened on the ground not to far away from them causing them to take a look.

"Who knew that joke of devil had this much in him?" said Kokabiel after a short whistle.

"He is full of surprises, but since the Wyvern is taking this seriously I think I should as well. So be prepared." Said Stephen with a grin on his face.

A sphere of ominous black energy immediately surrounded him for a second before it burst apart with a strong shockwave revealing a figure completely covered in dark red and black energy with seven tails sprouting from his lower back dancing graciously in the air and a pair of insect shaped wings made from the same energy. The pressure that the being was emitting was so dense that the space around it was slightly distorting.

"Damn" said Kokabiel as a thick bead of sweat dropped from his temple. The aura of the thing in front of him had long surpassed his. It was comparable to that of Azazel if not even higher.

Suddenly, that things tails all pointed at him and golden spheres started gathering at the tips of the tails. Kokabiel quickly conjured two longswords made of yellow light.

'Golden Nova' Stephen mentally screamed as the golden spheres shot at Kokabiel who used his swords to start deflecting the spheres which exploded in the background recking the school even further.

"Take this!" shouted Kokabiel throwing a spear the size of a small lorry at Version 2 Stephen. The tails as if they had a mind of their own all charged at the spear, colliding with it causing yet another explosion.

'Even Azazel would be injured if he took that spear head on' though Kokabiel as he waited for the smoke from the explosion to blow away. But with a loud roar, the smoke surrounding Stephen was blown away by a small shockwave revealing the beast unscathed from the attack.

'This is going to be troublesome' thought Kokabiel with his eyes fully focused on the thing in front of him. But even with his trained eyes focused on it, he instantly lost sight of it only to feel sharp claws dig deep into his back for a second before he was blown to the ground at hyper-sonic speeds.

*Booomm!!!!!*

Seeing Kokabiel unconscious in the crater he had clawed him into and his danger sense tingling, the energy surrounding him started peeling off revealing in his version one form. He had to power down as he couldn't speak in version Two form.

"Craig, prepare for teleportation. We are out of time" he said loudly while charging at a certain unsuspecting holy sword user.

"Damn, I thought we had a few more minutes." Said Craig who was standing in front of Issei in his busted Scale Mail, missing a chunk of its chest, left leg and a lot of other small pieces from all over. He quickly jumped away from Issei and immediately a red circle appeared below him.

Stephen also quickly charged to his side with something on his shoulder and a Bright red light covered them right before he saw a large blast made of red and black energy charging at them at impressive speeds.

"Damn, they got away" I said with some frustration in my voice.

"It seemed they sensed us even with our auras concealed, impressive" said Greyfia who was now back to her old self. Milicus' death had hit her worst but it seemed the war it caused helped her put her mind off it.

"Yeah, but those two seemed familiar" said Serafall as we walked towards Rias and Sona. We weren't worried because we had already sensed their presence even before our arrival. Rias was kneeling besides what I assume was the Red Dragon Emperor whose armor was beyond repair, with her Bishop, the Twilight healing girl healing him and Sona was standing by the side with her and the rest of Rias' peerage. There was also another presence that was unmoving a small distance away, but I had already sent some people to investigate. The other ones that tried to escape where also captured.

"Brother!" shouted Rias when she finally saw me.

"Are you alright? And how is everyone?" I asked on habit, although I already knew most of what happened.

"Everyone's alive." She replied weakly.

"That's great. Can you tell me what happened?" I said, wanting to know about the mystery people who had just escaped.
