Chapter 25 Trihexa's doom...

God of the Bible and Issei were locked in a fierce battle with God showing Issei why he was known as the god of the bible.

Despite him only being an image of himself, he was able to beat back Issei in his regular balance breaker without much difficulty.

"Damn Old man, you hit very hard" Issei said as he lightly rubbed his forearm. It was slightly numb due to the force of the punch that Issei had blocked.

"So tell me, how exactly do I need to prove myself to you? Because asking me to outright defeat you is impossible without the use of my heavenly dragon king balance breaker" Issei asked with a tilt of his head.

"Well now that you are sufficiently warmed up, here is your task. You will have to find a way to disarm me" God said as he waved the true Longinus in front of Issei.

Nodding Issei opened his pocket dimension and took out three swords, Tia, Shadow curse, and Crimson rose.

.....FLASHBACK...

"Here Issei, I heard that Ascalon got destroyed so I want you to have this one" Said Gabriel as she handed him a sword of carmine and silver.

From its red pommel stems a knuckle guard resembling vines of thorns, these vines wrapping around the cross guard and even the upper portion of the blade.

The hilt is of pure silver with criss-cross designs. A rose bud sticks out from in between the pommel and hilt, with three more roses in full bloom appearing at the centre of its guard.

The blade's cross-section is broad fuller and its flat is decorated with the carmine colour filled with an engraved pattern of roses.

Its scabbard is also full carmine in colour, the insides being silver, and also had intricate designs of roses.

The sword was emitting a powerful dominating aura.

"That's Crimson rose. No one can wield it as it's made from Ddraig's scales. Only those who have boosted gear can use it. It's been said that this sword is stronger than Durandal" Explained Gabriel.

"Thank you for this amazing gift" Said Issei with a warm smile as he took the sword and put it in his pocket dimension.

.... ANOTHER FLASHBACK...

"Issei I have a present for you" Said Tiamat.

"Oh, What is it?" Asked curious Issei.

Tiamat then took out a blade that was covered entirely by ice from an enchantment given to it from her strong ice magic, giving it more power. The blade itself without the ice was an extremely sharp longsword, but with the ice it adds frost damage, making it more effective in combat.

"I made you a sword with my powers. It still doesn't have a name so I decided that you should give it one" Said Tiamat as she handed him the sword.

"Wow thank you it looks amazing and for the name....hmmm how about Tia?" Said Issei.

Tiamat blushed but nodded nonetheless.

Issei gave her a big and long kiss as a thank you.

... YET ANOTHER FLASHBACK...

"Partner, I know a powerful sword that could help you" Said Vritra.

"Oh? what is it?" , Asked Issei.

"It's a sword made with my powers called Shadow curse. It is really powerful and durable, it can curse anything and anyone. I suggest you go to my old secret cave and take it but just the sword nothing else" Said Vritra.

"Alright thanks, bud" Said Issei.

"No problem partner" Replied Vritra.

.... FLASHBACK END...

Issei held Shadow curse and Crimson rose in his hands while he had his balance breaker tail wrapped tightly around Tia's hilt.

God raised an eyebrow at the weird stance that Issei took but said nothing.

Issei however was mentally creating the best combo possible for him to disarm his opponent. Finally narrowing his moves down to 3 different combos he made his move.

Issei then sped forward before swiping down both Crimson rose and Shadow curse repeatedly with an occasional three-stroke attack whenever he involved Tia.

The random attacks kept God on the back foot as he wasn't able to guess or even read where the next attack was coming from.

Issei after a few moments added a new move to his assault as he started making diagonal and horizontal slashes in addition to his previous downward slashes.

He was now beginning to push God back who now could not hope to just keep blocking and was occasionally dodging an errant swipe that he could not block.

Sensing his opponent's discomfort Issei decided to speed up things once more as he added upward swipes using Tia all the while adding simultaneous errant strikes with Crimson rose and Shadow curse.

When God was finally pushed into a corner Issei used all 3 of his swords and attacked from 3 different angles. One downward strike, one upward strike and one diagonal one.

The combination forced God to keep the true Longinus horizontally before the force of the 3rd swipe forced it to fly out of his hands into the air.

Issei then jumped up and used his tail to nick the spear out of the air before God could reclaim it and landed on the ground.

He looked up to see a clapping and smiling God who said " Well looks like you pass."

"So now what?" Issei asked as he eyed the true Longinus in his hand after putting the swords back into the pocket dimension.

"Well, now the only thing left is giving you my knowledge on how to use that spear the best" God said.

"Oh, and how are you going to do that?" Issei curiously asked.

"Like this" God replied before he placed his finger on Issei's head and transferred the knowledge to him.

In mere moments Issei was on the ground gritting his teeth as a headache erupted in his head thanks to the influx of information.

"Don't do that again old man!" Issei grunted as he unsteadily got back on his feet.

"Well, now that everything is set I'll send you back to the real world.

Tell Gabriel that I'm sorry for not spending time with her as a father should and by the way, these nightmares you were having all the time will end" God said.

"Alright, thank you, old man and I'll tell Gabriel your message" Said Issei as he woke up.

"Well, that was the weirdest thing to ever happen to me" Said Issei out loud. He looked around and right at that moment, Valerie came inside the room with a plate of homemade food.

"Hello Valerie, what do you have there? it smells really good" Said Issei.

"I made you some lunch while you were asleep" Said Valerie.

"Hey....how are you feeling?" Asked Issei.

"I'm feeling really good actually and a bit more powerful probably because of dragon's blood.....how about you?" Said Valerie as she sat down beside him.

"I'm fine, but soon I'll have to do a really serious job that might not end well for me" Said Issei with a sigh.

"What job?" Asked Valerie scared of his answer.

"Oh that's right I forgot that you don't know about it...I have to kill Trihexa" Replied Issei.

Valerie's eyes widened like dinner plates.

"What!? but you can't!" Shouted Valerie.

"Sorry but I have to" Said Issei.

Valerie just looked at the meal with a saddened expression.

"It'll be fine.....now how about we eat?" Asked Issei as he kissed her cheek.

Valerie nodded and both of them ate their lunch in peace.

Two hours passed.

"Ddraig, how long till I recover my power after that bonding?" Asked Issei.

"About two more hours if any earlier than that then you'll surely die after killing the beast" Answered Ddraig.

" 'Sigh'...if it gets out of control I might just have to get there early and sacrifice myself" Said Issei.

"That might be true partner.....but don't forget that I'm with you all the way" Said Ddraig confidently.

"Yeah, thanks partner" Replied Issei.

One hour later.

"Issei, are you awake yet?" Asked Albion as he contacted him.

"Yes, Albion I am" Replied Issei.

"Good, you have to come here immediately we can't hold the barrier any longer!" Warned Albion.

"Alright, I'll be there in a minute" Replied Issei.

" 'Sigh' so one hour too early.....Guess I'll die today" Said Issei.

"You what?!" Shouted Valerie as she stood behind Issei.

"Ummmm" Issei didn't know what to say.

"You will WHAT!?" Asked Valerie.

"There's a high possibility even higher than it should've been because I'm still not recovered fully and they can't hold the beast any longer" Replied Issei not daring to look into her beautiful teary eyes.

She hugged him.

"You have to come back I won't let you die just when I got the chance to be with you!.... Promise you'll come back!" Said Valerie as she cried into his chest.

Issei didn't know what to do so he just did as she asked.

"I promise" Said Issei as he kissed her.

When they parted Issei gave her a last smile before leaving via magic circle.

He appeared on a cliff. He looked around and saw a bunch of people holding the barrier.

"Look who decided to show up!" Shouted Azazel from afar a little annoyed.

"Shut your mouth you perverted crow" Growled Issei back.

"Gabriel" Called out Issei.

"Yeah?" Answered Gabriel.

"I talked to your father and he said he regrets not spending time as much as he should have been. but it all was because of Trihexa he had to think of a solution" Explained Issei.

Gabriel went into tears hearing his words and hugged him.

"Thank you" She said.

They got out of the hug and heard a certain crow.

"Just go and do your fucking job!" Shouted Azazel.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say you annoying crow" Replied Issei.

"Balance breaker!" Shouted Issei.

[WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!!] Roared Ddraig.

"Alright open an entrance for me" Said Issei.

"You got it" Replied Azazel as he opened a big enough hole for Issei to fly in.

"Jet!" Called out Issei and with a flap of his wings, he flew straight through the hole.

Inside he felt sick and uneasy, the killing intent and desire for destruction overwhelmed Issei a bit but he shrugged it off.

He flew for a couple of minutes until he finally saw a beast in the distance roaring in rage.

It was just like he saw in his dream.

Issei reached far enough.

"Guys, you ready?" Asked Issei.

"I am partner, I already told you that I lend you my powers for everything you need" Said Vritra.

"I'm with you Issei Hyou- No Issei Y Ddraig Goch" Said Crom Cruach.

"Sure, let's just get over with this already" Said Yu Long.

"I'm always ready darling" Said Tiamat.

"Let's do this I want to sniff more panties" Said Fafnir.

"I'm with you" Said Al.

"I stand by your side" Said Tannin.

"I just want to sleep" Said Midgardsormr.

"I'm all the way with you partner, let's show that beast the wrath of the heavenly dragon king!" Roared Ddraig.

Issei smirked at the answers of the dragons.

"Alright then let's do this!" Shouted Issei as he started to flare his aura to its limits.

That action attracted Trihexa's attention.

I who shall awaken!

I'm the heavenly dragon that will bring fear to my foes.

I shall become the heavenly dragon king and protect my loved ones.

I, Who will destroy you

I, who will bring you to your doom.

You shall perish before me.

{HEAVENLY DRAGON KING OUTRAGE!!!!}

Roared out all of the dragons inside of Issei.

The power that Issei was emitting made everything shake and crack. Trihexa felt he was a threat and wanted to get rid of him.

He started to run towards Issei. He was far enough from Issei so he had some time to prepare.

He equipped the true Longinus in his right hand.

Trihexa was close enough so Issei had to use some extra power.

"Shadow chains of Vritra!" Roared Issei.

Shadow chains wrapped around Trihexa and his legs kept him in place as he tried to break out.

"I need to finish this fast I'm already getting tired" Said Issei.

The Spear of God, lend me your power!!!

Let me the heavenly dragon king win this battle

I shall destroy all evil

And save the world from its doom!!!

Roared Issei as the holy aura was flaring all around the spear and Issei himself."

"Hurry up Issei you don't have much time left!" Warned Vritra.

Just as Vritra warned him Trihexa broke out from the chains.

"Ophis now!" Roared Issei.

Out of nowhere Ophis arrived and used her snakes to bind Trihexa in place.

Issei pointed out the spear at Trihexa.

"HOLY DRAGONS ERASER!!" Roared Issei and a strong draconic and holy aura shot out of the spear straight towards Trihexa hitting it.

Trihexa screeched in pain as it tried to block the beam.

"Dragons within me lend me your power for the last time and help me defeat my foes" Roared Issei.

Suddenly Black, red, light blue, dark blue, dark purple, light purple, green, and violet pink draconic energies came out of the spear too hitting the beast.

But it still didn't do the job.

"Ghhhh it's draining me" Said Issei as he could barely continue the attack.

Suddenly the barrier broke and in the sky, a rift from the dimensional gap opened and a giant western Dragon came out of it.

He opened his mouth and shot a beam at Issei.

Issei closed his eyes as he thought he would die.

But the only thing he felt is getting back his energy, and getting even more powerful.

"Don't worry Issei, Baka red came to help" Said Ophis.

But it still wasn't enough

"Everyone unleash all of your power!" Roared Issei.

"You idiot if we do that you will lose the last humanity you have left, and to regain the human form you'll have to train for at least three years!" Ddraig roared back.

"That doesn't matter anymore! if we won't kill the beast we will die anyways!" Roared Issei.

Ddraig and the others stayed silent.

After a minute everyone agreed to do it.

They unleashed their full powers.

Trihexa screeched in so much agony but it still didn't work?? Beast's regeneration was that powerful.

"Damn it what to do?!" Shouted Issei to himself.

"Wait!" Said Issei as he had an idea.

"Penetrate!" Roared Issei and Ddraig together.

As soon as they said those words the death beam went straight through Trihexa destroying its body.

"Yes, we did it!" Roared Issei in victory.

He looked up at the sky and saw that Great red was gone already.

Out of nowhere the spear and his armour broke and shattered.

The holy energy went into issei's body after it exploded massively from the spear and finished destroying the barrier and several orbs came out of him.

He immediately understood what it meant.

The gear's seals were removed.

All of the souls returned to their bodies only Red and dark purple stayed.

Issei couldn't hold himself in the air anymore with his wings and he started to fall and before everything went black he heard some shouts and cries from afar...

In a dream world, issei was in a dark void unable to move just hear and see questioning what was going on mentally until he heard a deep and powerful voice.

"Young one, it's not over, you shall face many more challenges and suffer a lot of pain... I hope you'll prepare yourself for what's to come...

.....With the leaders...

"Sairaorg, Saji, Kiba!" Screamed Rias and some others.

When Great red broke the barrier and when Issei killed the beast in some areas the holy energy blasted through people and the unlucky ones got either wounded or even killed from intense holy energy that came from the inside of the barrier and the few unlucky ones were Sairaorg Saji and Kiba they were burning from the holy energy as they screamed out of pain.

They were devils after all.

Sairaorg and Saji died a painful death while Riser got lucky enough just to get his one arm burned while he lost the other one and because of the holy energy he couldn't heal anymore.

Kiba had his left arm and face burned from the holy energy but he was still alive.

'That's Karma' Thought some people such as Azazel, Sona, and issei's girls.

Rias cried as she lost her cousin while Irina and Ingvild helped a passed-out Kiba. Sona and her peerage didn't react to Saji's death.

The beast was killed people returned to their homes and take a long rest.

The girls were about to leave too until Valerica suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Asked Ingvild.

Valerica didn't say anything as she hastily turned around and saw someone she hoped to find.

The girls turned to look where Valerica was looking and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s with dark silver hair and hazel eyes. He looked much like Valerica.

To some of the girls, it seemed that he possessed a bottomless and creepy aura around his body. He wore the same Maou Lucifer attire as Sirzechs, although coloured in silver and had his twelve devil wings full on display.

"Hello, Valerica, glad to see my granddaughter after so many years" Spoke the man.

"Rizevim... glad you had the chance to come" Said Valerica as her body tensed up.

She was looking forward to this very moment to finally end what she started years ago.

"Won't you give your grandfather a hug you fucking mistake?" Asked Rizevim with venom in his voice.

"Sure you'll get your well-deserved hug" Said Valerica as she started to walk toward the man.

The girls watched the scene unfold not knowing what to do but didn't lower their guard.

Valerica was ten meters from the man who was calmly waiting, she had a crazy smirk that grew bigger with every step she took.

"Balance breaker!" Shouted Valerica suddenly.

[Vanishing Dragon Balance breaker!] Roared Albion and Valerica flew with her energy wings towards the man who was still waiting calmly.

As Valerica was about to hit Rizevim he sidestepped and tapped her armour on the shoulder as she passed him and her armour suddenly disappeared most to everyone's, except Rizevim's shock.

Valerica stopped ten meters behind Rizevim and glared at him with hate.

"Surprised? this is my special ability that disables any sacred gear with a single touch" Explained Rizevim with a wicked and mocking smile.

"Albion? Albion!?" Shouted Valerica but no response from her partner.

"You see? your dragon can't even respond to you Ahahahahaha! now, what are you gonna do!?" Asked Rizevim mockingly.

The other girls took battle stances and got ready to help Valerica defeat Rizevim.

"Don't interfere! I will kill him on my own for what he has done!" Shouted Valerica as she noticed her harem sisters get ready for battle.

The girls became confused and were not sure what to do, they wanted to help but Valerica was against it.

"Hahaha! you think you can take me on without your sacred gear?" Asked Rizevim, but Valerica responded with only a battle cry as she charged at Rizevim while coating her limbs with strong and potent demonic energy.

"HYAA!" Shouted Valerica with a punch but Rizevim dodged it.

She launched a barrage of kicks and punches but Rizevim dodged or blocked them all easily.

Maybe if Valerica hadn't let her emotions take over she could land a lot more hits.

That went on for a while until Valerica suddenly launched a ball of demonic energy at Rizevim's feet as she leapt away.

Valerica landed in front of the girls and watched the smoke slowly disappear.

Once the smoke disappeared it revealed nothing but suddenly they heard a burst of laughter from above.

They looked up and saw Rizevim with twelve devil wings in the air.

"Bhahah! is that all you can do without your gear!? such a disappointment you are! always was" Said Rizevim with a disgusted look.

Valerica just continued to glare at the bastard who killed her parents and tortured her for days.

"Valerica.... please let us help" Pleaded Ingvild.

"No! I must kill him myself! he murdered my parents I must make him pay!" Shouted Valerica as she continued to glare at a flying form of Rizevim but her body was shaking from the rage and sadness that she felt.

Suddenly Valerica felt comfort and warmth as all of the girls hugged her.

"We understand what you mean.... but we can't just watch you fight him alone without your sacred gear... just think how sad Issei would be if he'd found out that you got hurt or even killed?" Said Irina.

Valerica started to think about it.

"Just let us help you, we care about you, we can't just sit and watch you fight alone that freak!" Said Murayama.

Valerica froze and slowly looked at the girls from the corner of her eye and saw all of her sisters smile.

Valerica let out a sigh and nodded slowly.

"Are you done? you almost made me puke" Said Rizevim as he landed back on the ground.

All of the girls took their battle stances and got ready to fight.

"You are going down you scumbag" Said Valerica.

"We shall see, you filthy hybrid" Replied Rizevim with disgust as he got ready to fight too.

Valerica didn't waste any time and charged at Rizevim once again but this time not alone as Murayama and Katase charged from the sides with newly created ice swords that were infused with destructive magic.

The three got to Rizevim and delivered their powerful attacks with an explosion.

Ingvild predicted Rizevim's next move and shot a charged demonic attack into the sky.

Ingvild's attack reached her target as they heard a grunt in the sky followed by a loud thud.

Rizevim tried to stand up but before he could do that Irina slashed with a light sword that was infused with intense holy magic.

But before she could cut off Rizevim's head he moved out of the sword's way just in time but still got slashed across the back as he rolled to the side.

"Garh! annoying brats, I guess it's enough of games!" Said Rizevim as he stood up with the help of his wings.

Suddenly Katase, Murayama, Irina, and Momo passed out from Rizevim's intense and overwhelming aura while Ingvild and Valerica struggled to breathe.

"Let me show you what it means to be beneath me you filth!" Said Rizevim while he created two magic circles in front of him with Lucifer marks.

The remaining girls felt what was coming.

"After I kill you filth I will get to that annoying dragon emperor that killed my experiment subject" Said Rizevim with malice.

When Valerica and Ingvild heard that their expressions became cold and emotionless as they stood up and glared at Rizevim.

"Hm? what's this? you are still able to stand?" Asked Rizevim with slight shock and amusement.

The duo didn't reply they just stared at him with killing intent.

Even if Rizevim was powerful those stares sent cold shivers down his spine.

Rizevim got tired of waiting so he just shot two charged demonic energy beams at the duo.

With a loud explosion, the area was covered in a thick smoke and dust cloud.

"Hahaha! that all you had!? I guess I was excited for nothing" Said Rizevim.

He created a magic circle to leave but heard a deep growl from the dust cloud.

A loud flap followed by a gust of wind that blew away all of the smoke and dust revealed the duo still standing unscratched and still with emotionless expressions, but what shocked Rizevim the most was a celestial blue dragon that stared at his very soul with her cold icy blue eyes.

The celestial dragon released her cold and powerful aura and Rizevim understood who he was facing.

"A dragon king? what a surprise! now let's have some fun!" Said Rizevim as he took off into the air.

The trio did the same with their wings.

Ingvild launched a large barrage of water attacks at Rizevim.

He had a hard time dodging all of those attacks some hit him and slowed him down as well as damaged him.

Valerica shot two small compressed beams at Rizevim and one of them hit him in the back as he was too distracted by ingvild's attacks.

The cut from Irina hurt a lot already and another attack to the back put him at disadvantage.

The celestial dragon proceeded by freezing Ingvild's water attacks and creating sharp daggers.

It was too much for Rizevim to dodge so he had to hide behind a barrier that started to crack when the blue dragon launched a blue flame at the barrier.

The barrier shattered but Rizevim dodged the attack but not so lucky this time as his whole left arm was gone.

He drank phenex tears and the wounds healed except for the holy one and the arm didn't regrow of course.

"That.... was painful... but I will... finish with you... I saved this for the red emperor... but I guess I'll have to use it here... to get to him and torture him for eternity ahahahahahaha!" Laughed Rizevim like a complete insane maniac as he took out another vial from his pocket but it wasn't phenex tears.

"I'll kill that dragon first with samuel's blood next get to you two and later you know who already!" Shouted Rizevim.

After Trihexa was killed, Rizevim completely lost his sanity as his long planned plans failed so quickly.

Tiamat and Ingvild donned shocked expressions while Valerica was completely enraged.

"Balance breaker!" Shouted Valerica.

[Vanishing Dragon Balance breaker!] Roared Albion.

"What!? I deactivated your sacred gear so how!?" Shouted Rizevim.

Valerica gave a different reply tho.

"I, who is about to awaken, Am the White Dragon Empress who will take the law down to the darkness. I walk the road of domination with infinite destruction and by piercing through the imaginary dream. I shall become a pure Empress of White Dragon And I shall have you obey the silvery-white illusions and the perfect evil ways!" Chanted Valerica.

[Juggernaut Empireo Overdrive!] Roared Albion.

Valerica activated what looked like a juggernaut drive but instead of pure white it was silver.

"What is this!? how are you doing this!?" Shouted Rizevim but as an answer, Valerica used her final move

"Compression divider!" Roared Valerica.

Her energy wings spread and glowed light blue as Valerica slowly divided Rizevim out of existence.

"N-no! ugh! this is not how I will let this end!" Shouted Rizevim as he took a step forward but something stopped him.

It was ice that froze him to the ground.

He looked back at Valerica and said his final words.

"Hahaba I hope you are happy to kill me this time for real... it's a shame I didn't get to kill your mother! but I ain't giv....ing... up" Shouted Rizevim as a golden cup manifested into his hand but it was too late and he disappeared into nothingness and dropped the cup one ground.

Valerica's armour shattered and she fell but Tiamat caught her just in time.

She was asleep, she was too exhausted, after all, she did use her new form only a few times and her stamina wasn't built up yet for that.

"Let's go home" Said Ingvild as she picked up the golden cup and put it into her pocket dimension.

"Sure" Replied Tiamat as she gave Valerica to Ingvild.

Timat took every passed-out harem sister before teleporting to their house with a single thought in her mind.

'Stay strong Issei and please come back soon'
