Betrayed To Hell And Back

Chapter 17: The Battle That Shook The World Finale

The silence was met with bated breath as everyone watched the two colossal powerhouses stare at each other, they knew this battle was about to be ended.

However, they didn't know what would become of it.

If they did they would run to the hills, from the sheer power and determination that was about to be unleashed for the world to see in all it's glory.

They would realize they were ants compared to these monsters.

Great Red and Issei Hyoudou, two fighters that truly made a battle for the ages. It was in it's final legs as both of them stared each in the eyes. Great Red smirked as he saw his opponent, they both pushed each other farther than before.

(I must say, I'm impressed you made me use most of my power. Now I must say it's time to finish this. It was a valiant effort indeed.) He said aloud.

Everyone watched as Great Red covered himself in a red glow and charged at Issei. Issei didn't even care and charged forwards without hesitation, he didn't care about the risks of further damaging his body beyond repair. It didn't matter one bit to him.

Great Red saw this and was astonished, what drove him this far? He wondered dumbstruck, this boy was something else.

Something else indeed.

Fists clashed again as burst of piercing winds erupted from the source, the bystanders could only watch as both of them clashed in a battle of pure strength, determination and will.

They wondered how much longer it would last.

Great Red quickly delivered a kick to his ribs and followed it up by grabbing his arm and hurling him across the deserted piece of underworld that became their battlefield, he watched as Issei got back up like it was nothing.

He could tell he wasn't done, Great Red's window was closing too. It was a time limit before Issei could start to boost again. However he looked to the boy to see his feet covered in the black energy.

He rose an eyebrow as he watched an explosion that sent Issei flying towards him at blinding speeds, Great Red widened his eyes as he realized what he did.

Issei used the power of the pure energy to propel him towards his opponent. Great Red didn't even have time to think as he was elbowed in the face and kicked with a ton of force, thus knocking him back.

Great Red stood back up and looked his opponent in the eye.

(Tell me Issei Hyoudou, what pushes you forwards. What causes this insane amount of willpower you have? What drives you to throw caution to the wind and follow what you want to the ends of the world!?) Great Red shouted.

Issei looked at him directly, he scoffed.

"You want to know what makes me like this? What is my driving factor?" He said in a deadly quiet voice.

Great Red knew something was coming, and it was going to be bigger than anything they saw.

"It is the simple fact that I wanted to live a life where I was happy! I don't want this endless cycle of lies and deceit to go on anymore! After all that has happened, nothing has changed for my goals! I swore on that fateful day in purgatory that I would see the world changed by very hands! Even if it takes me a thousand years, that goal will come true! NOTHING WILL STAND IN MY WAY!" He shouted aloud.

Everyone was shocked as the very ground started to vibrate and crack.

An earthquake was being caused.

Everyone looked to the skies to see dark clouds forming, a few moments later a ton of lightning strikes were flashing non-stop. It was clearly something caused by Issei.
