"RAAH!!"

Issei's eyes snapped to the left, his eye's widening slightly. The one he'd just defeated had been an Illusion, he was no longer in a position to counter. 

[Partner! You should probably use me!]

Ddraig exclaimed, seeming a little nervous. Issei, realizing the Dragon was right, manifested Boosted Gear on his left arm- catching the sword by the blade. Issei bit back a cry of pain, glaring at the offender, as light coated right hand. 

[BOOST!]

With Boosted Gear's effect coming into play, Issei sent a haymaker to the suprised enemy. Catching them off guard and off-balance, his punch hit home and sent his opponent careening through the first magical barrier. Quickly searching the area, Issei identified the mages and waved his right hand- still enveloped in Light- at them. The action resulting in several laser-like magic attacks nailing the targets in their various joints, disabling- but not killing- the mages. 

Breathing a little heavily, Issei looked back to where he'd punched swordsman. Issei let out a soft growl.

"You'll have to do better than that, Old Man! Remember who you're dealing with!" Issei shouted, feeling angered at the fact he was fooled by an illusion- even if only for a few seconds- and angered that he had been forced to use Boosted Gear. Bringing his breathing under control, but not letting go of his anger. Issei whispered but two words. "Balance Break."

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!]

Boosted Gear announced, covering Issei in his Scale Mail, a red aura bursting around him like a blistering inferno. Green eyes stared at the Old Man who was his current enemy. "Old Man, I'm done playing. Promise not to die."

With those words spoken, Issei charged the Old Man. He feigned going for a punch to the face, dropping down to sweep out his enemy's legs, before standing up to punch them in the gut. He followed it up by kicking the Old bastard in side of the head. Crimson Energy gathered in Issei's left palm.

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]

"Dragon Shot!" Issei called as he punched the basketball sized mass of energy, sending a huge wave of crimson light at the seemingly Herculean Swordsman. The energy blasted torwards the man, creating an ear-piercing noise as the blast ruptured the atmosphere and carved a swath through the earth. The wave engulfed the man and Issei could faintly hear a scream. Once the blast faded, the man was on his knees. The ground was scorched and fractures filled the landscape, the ground being partially melted as steam and smoke rose into the air. 

The area looked like some kind of meteor had land... which wasn't too far from the truth. Yet, despite the damage to the landscape, the Swordsman was struggling to his feet, though disarmed. Issei grit his teeth and charged, yet the man disappeared in an explosion of wind and sparks. Issei growled as his vision was overcome only to gasp in pain as he was kicked in the back of the head. Issei rolled forward in response, conjuring an orb of energy in one hand before thrusting his palm outward torwards his opponent.

The simple motion sent a wave of powerful wind torwards the giant man, allowing Issei to dash forward and send a haymaker torwards his nose. It struck home! But Issei didn't get the chance to celebrate as the man had thrown a ball of electrical energy at him. Issei screamed in pain as the ball blew him backwards and nearly shocked him into unconsciousness!

The pain was almost unbearable... but almost wasn't bad enough. Issei roared and jumped to his feet, firing black lightning at the man as Isssi planted numerous traps around himself. These traps were to keep his opponent from reaching him for a short time.
