Harem Hero

Fated Rivals

Vali is furious, "They told me that you only summon women, you cheating bastard!"

You shrug it off and laugh, "I never said anything like that. I think it's perfectly fair to summon someone who's much stronger than you. Looks like your divine dividing isn't going to be so useful after all."

Issei points to himself, "Leave him to me. That power is something that only the red dragon can defeat..."

Vali shakes his head, "I'm not going to lose to you again, Issei."

"Well that's too bad. Because I'm gonna' beat the hell out of you!"

Before you can get started, enemy mooks pour into the parking lot from every angle and surround you. Damn it – they must have been waiting for you to appear. You grab Issei's shoulder, "You take care of Vali. I'll handle these small fries."

"Got it!"

Issei disappears in a flash of red light, moving so quickly that your human eyes can't even perceive him properly. He rematerializes a second later with Vali clutched between his clawed hands. Both dragons tumble and fly through the air, crashing through the side of the nearest building and out of sight. A bolt of red lightning cuts its way through the herd of mooks as Rias runs over to you.

"Where did these fools come from?" she scoffs. Asia is shaking like a leaf behind her.

"We've gotta' take care of them. This shouldn't be too tough!"

You leap into the fray and punch a robot's head clean from its body, sending it tumbling across the tarmac like a morbid football. Rias claims some skulls of her own as she unleashes a blast of red lightning at the approaching mooks, frying several of them into piles of scrap and wiring. Asia doesn't seem too enthused to fight back herself, hiding behind a magical barrier being emitted from the palms of her hands.

You use some fancy gunmanship and blast more of them with rapid trigger pulls. There's nothing the robots can do to protect themselves from such powerful blasts. They just charge forward and try to overwhelm you with sheer numbers. Vali and Issei soon reappear, tussling and wrestling for control over the other. Their heavily armoured bodies crash down and plough through dozens of the enemy soldiers, destroying them instantly and leaving a huge crater in their wake.

The fight is so intense and destructive that Vali is quickly doing even more damage to the enemy troops than you are. He has little regard for the safety of his so-called allies, presumably as his loyalty lies with the mysterious person who Sundar has recruited to be your rival. They send bolts of energy at each other, delivering kicks and punches that are powerful enough to pulverise a mortal man like yourself.

"Why are you doing this man's dirty work? You're an insult to the lineage of the Red Dragon!"

"Because he's a real man, the one I look up to! And I'll always take the chance to beat some humility into you!" Issei punctuates his declaration with a haymaker of a punch, that sends Vali flying into the brick wall behind him. Vali retaliates by firing blue energy from both of his wings.

"DIVIDE!"

Issei just barely avoids the attack, but Vali is even faster. He dashes onto him and wrestles him back down to the ground.

"DIVIDE!"

There's nowhere for Issei to run now, the power of his sacred gear is drained before your eyes, weakening his abilities and giving Vali the upper hand. You quickly charge your Sledgehammer and take a pot-shot at him. The blast hits his helmet, smashing it into pieces and revealing his face once more. He glances up at you with murderous intent.

"Stay out of the way, you damned nuisance!"

Vali dismounts Issei and marches towards you with intent. This time you manage to put your arms up and block some of the punch that comes your way. You fly off of your feet and into the air, only to land between Rias' breasts as she flies up and catches you. You both fall back down onto the ground with a heavy thud.
