Red Dragon Emperor of Domination

Chapter 21: Once Again...

Gaspo! Oblivion-san is doing daily chapters?! Unreal! Man never stays in the kitchen this long, has he been possessed?!

And today, the star of the chapter is Akeno-senpai! You know, the most popular girl before the anime happened?

Seriously.

Also a bit of Ravel stuff first.

-cut-

Issei didn't wait for the Devils' magic, instead disappearing in a flash of crimson lightning and teleporting to the observation area under his own power.

Immediately, he moved to the.. sickbay, for lack of a better term. As he looked at Raiser's peerage, he couldn't help but feel he went a bit overboard.

They were in rough shape, and even with magic healing, there was a decent chance some of them might have lingering effects.

But none were worse off than Raiser, who was regenerating at a disturbingly slow pace, even with magic assisting him.

Even disregarding the psychological damage, odds were good that Raiser's body wouldn't fully heal. Such was the extent of the damage Issei had inflicted to him, fully destroying his arms and his body beneath the heart. The skin and much of the muscle that shielded the organs from the outside had been burnt away, and his face was completely destroyed.

You could plainly see his skull, and both eyes were clearly not in a functional state. He was blind, and one was even partially hanging out of the socket.

It was... A gruesome sight, to be sure. However, it wasn't the sight that bothered him.

It was who else might see it.

His eyes drifted over to the final member of Raiser's peerage, Ravel Phenex.

"Sorry.. you shouldn't have to see something like that."

Issei mumbled under his breath, before looking to Raiser once more.

Slowly, Issei made his way over the Phenex.

"Hey.. mind of I give a hand? It'll only take a moment. Just, look away or close your eyes, for a bit, okay everyone?"

One of the caretakers- nurses, basically- looked to him with an inquisitive expression.

"Why is that necessary?"

Issei looked away with a sigh, "I'm just going to use a secret trick of mine, I don't want you lot going around and telling anyone."

The nurse sighed and complied, closing ger eyes and looked away.

"Alright, you heard the man, don't look in his direction if you can help it!"

While the nurses eyes weren't on him, Issei summoned the Boosted Gear.

[Boost! Transfer!]

The Phenex's flames swelled up, the rate of regeneration picking up speed. As it turned out, magic energy played a role in the Phenex Clan regeneration ability.

Dismissing the Boosted Gear, Issei stepped away, "Alright. You can look now."

Getting out of the way, Issei moved back over to Ravel. It was apparent to him that the girl was in more or less perfect condition, she was only asleep. She could wake up any minute now... And he didn't want her to see the state her brother was in, especially not at her age.

"Oi. Is it fine if it take the princess here with me? At least have her hang out in the other room?" Issei called out to one of the nurses.

"Sure, go ahead. She doesn't have any injuries, so she's just sleeping at this point. Although, if you take her off the premises without parental or Official permission, you may suffer consequences. Do so at your own risk, and preferably not at all."
