Vali's chanting of Juggernaut Drive stopped as he turned to the man standing beside him with a face of annoyance.
"Bikou, why are you here?"
"We're going to fight with the Northern earth gods, so I was told to bring you back." Bikou spoke with a heavy accent while resting the staff he carried over his shoulder. After hearing his explanation, Vali's annoyed face softened somewhat as he became thoughtful.
"I see, so it's already that time? What a shame." He sighed before looking over at me. My only response was to glare back as the visor of my helmet vanished at my mental command.
"Bikou? So even a descendant of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong, has joined the Chaos Brigade? The world truly is changing." From my left, Azazel walked up and expressed his distraught, causing Bikou to cackle heartily.
"Unlike my ancestor, I'm carefree and live as I please. Nice to meet you, Red Dragon Emperor. Sorry to interrupt your fight, but I'll be taking Vali now!" The bo-staff in his hand twirled violently before the butt end got slammed into the ground.
From beneath their feet, a black portal manifested that slowly dragged them down below. Just as Vali was leaving, he grinned and called out to me.
"Let's have an even more intense fight the next time we meet. I expect you to be even stronger than you are now, Issei Hyoudou!" I watched as his face submerged into the ground before the portal taking them away fully vanished.
All the intense power in the air vanished as the night finally settled in. With the battle over, I simply sighed before looking up at the moon shining in the night sky.
"It's finally over."
"I'm surprised you didn't just run after them. From the looks of things, you had the advantage in that fight." Azazel walked up and rested his hand on my armored shoulder before starting up a conversation with me.
"Knowing when to let a fight end and continue it is an important factor in battles. Vali had another power ready to take me on with, one that even my Balance Breaker couldn't hold up against should he have activated it."
"True, it was wise not to chase after him. Speaking of Balance Breaker, I can't believe you have one. I've seen Vali transform numerous times before and I can tell, this is a complete Balance Breaker." Azazel's eyes started roaming over my armor in fascination while I folded my arms.
"Of course it's complete. I've been training for the past four days to be able to do this, so I wouldn't accept anything else."
"Four days? You're kidding!" Azazel burst out into laughter before patting my back.
"I take back everything I said earlier, because clearly you're an exception. Let's see..." He fell into deep thought while stroking his beard.
"If Vali is the strongest White Dragon Emperor to ever exist, that makes you the most talented Red Dragon Emperor. A prodigy we won't see for another hundred- no, probably another couple thousand years at least. Being able to achieve the pinnacle of a Sacred Gears evolution with only four days of training..." Seemingly lost in his own thoughts, Azazel turned towards the rest of the group who had finally lowered their defensive barrier.
"Issei!" Once fully down, Asia ran out to me with tears streaming out the corner of her eyes. A smile formed on my face as I released my Balance Breaker and opened my arms to fully embrace her.
Her face landed in my chest as her hands wrapped around my back. I chuckled while stroking the back of her head. Her blonde strands of hair intertwined with my fingers at this action.
"You don't have to worry so much, Asia, I'm fine." She didn't say anything and simply hugged me tighter.
I held this moment for some time longer before looking at all the destruction caused by my and Vali's fight. Once more, nearly the entire school building was trashed and reduced to its base components because of me, but an azure haze started covering the remains. Up above, I saw a legion of angels, fallen angels and devils extended their hands to cast magic over our school. Slowly, the destroyed building was being rebuilt.
