The Human of DxD

Chapter 60: The Resolve of The Young Devils

Author's Note: Remember when I said I wasn't gonna post today... yeah, I lied.

Nimura: Saji-Senpai... I'm sorry...

Due to her defeat by Koneko, Nimura was taken away as she was engulfed and vanished in blue light.

Grayfia: One of Sona Sitri's Pawns. Retired.

Koneko: I'm gonna be a hellcat, I won't lose.

Issei's Thoughts: Koneko's already done with her fight... I gotta step it up on my end... I've got a minute left, but can I really hold out that long?

Issei's Thoughts: But all of that power is bringing down Saji too....

Koneko: I'll back you up, perv.

Saji: Tch...

Saji was a bit nervous taking on both of them, but was shocked as Issei raised his arm, blocking Koneko.

Issei: Sorry, Koneko. But I need you to leave Saji to me. I can handle him on my own.

Koneko: This is a team battle. Just let me help you.

Issei: This whole fight, you never aimed an attack at Koneko. That's because you're only trying to take me down one on one, right...?

Saji: That's right! I'll prove myself by beating you on my own!

Saji: Beating the Red Dragon Emperor will show that I'm strong enough to fulfill my dreams!

Issei: Do you see, Koneko? I can't call myself a man if I run away! The Underworld will call me a coward, and then, I'd never be able to face Rias!

Koneko smiled a bit before turning away.

Koneko: Yeah, I get it... but you better not lose, got it?

Issei: Leave it to me!

Koneko left the scene as the fight with Issei and Saji continued.

Saji: No more wasting time! I'm gonna end this fight in one shot!

Using his lines, Saji severed the line connected to Issei's gauntlet and used the other line to keep him on the floor.

While Issei was down, Saji charged another magic blast from his hand.

Saji: Heh, can't run now, can ya?

Issei's Thoughts: That jerk!

To Issei's shock, Saji raised his arm into the air as the magic ball began to increase in size.
