Tales of the Ruin Princess

Chapter 28: Issei and Sairaorg's Final fight.

After doing rigorous amounts of training the past few days before the upcoming fight, Issei finally felt prepared to fight sairaorg. The two met outside of town so no one else would get hurt.

"You ready kid?" Sairaorg asked

Issei's boosted gear appears on his left arm.

"I'm more than ready to take you down." Issei said assured while clenching his hand with his boosted gear on it

"Good." Sairaorg said intrigued.

The two prepare themselve to fight. Once they were ready, they charged at each other. While charging at each other, Issei entered his scale mail and  rammed Sairaorg, forcing him back.

"You've gotten stronger." Sairaorg noticed after being rammed by issei.

"Dragon... CANNON!" Issei yelled before firing the cannon that formed on his shoulder

Sairaorg sees the beam and evades it. After seeing Sairaorg dodge the beam of his cannon, issei fired it again multiple times to try and hit him. Sairaorg manages to dodge most of the beams before being hit by one.

"Lucky shot." Sairaorg said while shrugging off the damage from the attack

"..." issei remained

"You've really come a long way kid." Sairaorg admitted

"Don't flatter me." Issei demanded aggressively

"Fine, i'll do that after i win." Sairaorg agreed

"No, after i win!" Issei said before firing a dragon shot

Sairaorg blocks the attack, and looks unscathed.

"Damn... he's strong.... i have to save crimson cardinal until i've weakened him." Issei said to himself

Issei remembers what zaveid told him yesterday. After remembering what he said, Issei fired 4 more dragons shots at sairaorg. Sairaorg blocks the shots like the last one but, the combined power of all four of the shots damaged him.

"Not bad." Sairaorg admitted

"I'm just getting started!" Issei told him with eagerness

"Good to know." Sairaorg said intrigued

Sairaorg rushes up to issei and punches him several times

"Think you can dodge? Just try! Perfect mayhem!" Sairaorg said before delivering the final attack of his mystic arte.

After being hit by his mystic arte, issei was forced out of his scale mail and away from sairaorg. Issei manages to stop himself and draws his sword, then charges back at him.

"Rip to pieces....! STAMPEDE STRIKE!!!!!" Issei yelled while using a sword mystic arte on Sairaorg

"Gah! Hehe... not bad. I can definitely feel the power difference since last time." Sairaorg admitted

Issei merges his sword with his boosted gear.

"NO MERCY!" Issei yelled with anger

"Huh!?" Sairaorg wondered in confusion

"wounds that won't heal! Carved into flesh! LETHAL.... PAIN!" Issei yelled while using rias's mystic arte on Sairaorg

Sairaorg gets back up after being knocked down by the arte. After getting up, issei was suddenly in front of him and stabbed sairaorg in his right shoulder.

"ANNIHILATING... CRASH!" Issei yelled before blowing sairaorg away as a vortex of red and black swirls follow his right hand.

"Impressive, you mimicked my cousin's mystic artes, all except one... impulse desire. You can't use that one, can you?" Sairaorg taunted

"..." issei remains.

"Fine, let's end this!" Sairaorg said with determination

Regulus nemea appears on his body, covering him in golden armour. After seeing him armour up, issei defused the sword from his boosted gear and held it in his right hand. The two then charged at each other and fought. Since issei didn't have his armour on, it was easy for him to avoid some of the incoming attacks thrown by sairaorg. As sairaorg threw attacks, issei saw points where was left open, he used those points to strike in between his attacks. After hitting sairaorg with his sword, issei back away from sairaorg and entered his crimson cardinal. After entering his crimson cardinal, Issei charged towards sairaorg then delivered a series of punches and kicks.

"Final fury!" Issei yelled before landing the final blow of his attack

After being hit by issei's mystic arte Sairaorg was forced out of his armour. Issei exited out of his armour and red light gathered at his left hand.

"The arte to end it all? Very well!" Sairaorg said intrigued while a golden light gathers at his left hand

"Bael!" Issei yelled with anger

"Hyōdō!" Sairaorg yelled back with anger

"Dragon's...!" Issei yelled

"Lion's...!" Sairaorg yelled

"HOWL!" They both yelled

Then a aura of a dragon's head and a lion's head clashed with each other. The attacks seemed to nullified each and it forced Sairaorg back, after being forced back he notices issei's right hand glowing

"This is.... MY EVERYTHING!" Issei yelled while using dragon's howl one last time ending the match.

15 minutes later...

"I can't believe... i lost that battle..." sairaorg admitted in awe and exhaustion

"I can't believe... i won that battle..." issei admitted in awe and exhaustion.

"You've really improved kid. I'm not going to lie about that. you've a lot stronger since our first fight. I mean from what i saw from our first fight, you had a lot of potential to be a worthy opponent, not to mention all that hidden power you unleashed on me today. It really does prove how far you've come on this journey." Sairaorg praised

"Thanks. The only reason why i won is because i believed in the path i chose. I was taught by someone that if i believe in the power of the path i've chosen, i'll win most of my battles." Issei admitted

"Let me guess... Zaveid?" Sairaorg wondered

"The very same. He's a weird seraph sure but, he gives good advice when he wants too." Issei answered

"I see." Sairaorg said intrigued

"I have to write this down in my celestial record. That was really memorable." Issei admitted with excitement

"If you don't mind, i want to help you write that in. So it's a bit accurate and the reader gets both sides of the fight." Sairaorg asked

"No problem." Issei reassured

"Now that was an interesting fight." Someone admitted

"Huh?" They wondered

The two sit up and look around before noticing Rias with Irina, Xenovia, kiba, vali, and Dezel nearby the gate.

"You saw that?" Issei wondered

"Indeed we did, from the point you entered your crimson cardinal all the way to the point of the last attack." Rias admitted

"I hate to admit it but that battle was a bit better than the one you, Zaveid and i had yesterday." Vali admitted grudgingly

"The way you two used the dragon's and lion's howl was so cool! I have to learn an arte like that!" Xenovia admitted astonished

"Same here but i don't think kiba wants to learn it cause he already has a second mystic arte." Irina agreed

"That's true." Kiba admitted

"I like how you saw gaps in between Sairaorg's attacks and used those to your advantage. Really nice kid." Dezel admitted

"Heh.... thanks. I really owe a lot to zaveid, Vali, xenovia, kiba and dezel. If i didn't train with them, i would have lost for sure." Issei mentioned

"True." Vali agreed

"Heh." Issei chuckled a little.
