Chapter 46 Issei's heavy gamble!

"Are you ready for this Draig?" Issei said to the dragon that dwelled within his gauntlet.

"Of course. Let's show the world once again partner... Show them you are the greatest red dragon emperor to have ever existed by defeating the impossible once again!" Draig said as the king piece began to enter Issei's chest.

"I got it." Issei said as he prepared for what would be the riskiest move of his life.

All of a sudden, Issei dropped to his knees and clutched fiercely to his clothing.

"You can do it partner! Endure the pain and rise to the next level!" Draig said as Issei experienced unbearable and almost death wishing pain.

"It hurts! It hurts! Fuck this hurts! This by far is the most painful experience in both of my lives. But, compared to the pain I would have to endure with every second of every day. In a world without Rias, this pain is nothing to me! I will survive this and save Rias! This won't be enough to break my promise to her!" Issei said as he tried his hardest to put up with the physical and mental suffering his body and mind was undergoing.

"You're wasting time you fool! Even if you were able to defeat me before, there is no way that a punk like you could become a high class devil just by pushing your body to its absolute limits!" Raiser said as Issei cried out in agony.

"Shut up! I will save Rias! Just you watch you damn pervert! This power will not beat me! I will live!" Issei said as his eyes suddenly became lifeless and his vulnerable skull hit the ground.

"It's just as I said you stupid brat. Rias' fate now belongs to me." Raiser said with an evil grin.

Meanwhile, with the devil army finally on the battlefield along with the phoenix and Sitri household taking care of the rest of the enemy forces, the Gremory household made their way over to the mastermind behind this diabolical scheme.

"It's useless Sirzechs, you cannot defeat me." Euclid said as Sirzechs prepared for another attack.

"Lord Sirzechs! What happened to Rias and Issei-Kun?!" Akeno enquired as her and the rest of the peerage reached the demon lord.

"Rias' power along with her evil piece, have been removed from her." Sirzechs said making the Gremories look on in despair.

"No way..." Kiba said as he aggressively clutched his sword.

"I know it's terrible news. But as we speak, Issei is trying to absorb the power of the king piece I gave him in order to save Rias by bringing her back as a modified queen piece." Sirzechs said now finally looking over at his disciple.

"Issei senpai has fallen!" Koneko said leading the others to look also.

Akeno decided to assume her duty as substitute leader and took action.

"Lord Sirzechs, please go over to Issei and protect him from enemy forces. We will take care of Euclid Lucifuge and hold him off for as long as we can!" Akeno said making Sirzechs shocked.

"That's impossible! You can't defeat him. Even if you all attacked as one, he would defeat you all." Sirzechs said making Akeno instantly retort.

"We have to believe in Issei-kun! Like you said, Issei has found his resolve and is risking everything to save Rias and everyone else. After hearing you say that, we will put our complete trust in the fact that Issei will succeed and bring Rias back to us. So we will do what we can to hold off those who plan to get in his way! You need to protect Issei until he has finished this trial. As it stands, he is vulnerable and in danger." Akeno said making Sirzechs finally smile.
