Chapter 69: Chapter 69 (nice)

I was in a multi-coloured space. And in front of me was Red.

 

Ah I see this is a dream. What was I doing before this? I can’t seem to remember.

 

[Brat you won the battle.]

 

Ah, yes I remember. Great, all that training was worth it. But then why did I black out?

 

[You used too much of your demonic power.]

 

Ah,  I see. My bad, I should have been more careful, I saved a bit but it looks like it wasn’t enough. But why is Red here? Does he want to tell me something?

 

[You are correct. As I am sure you are aware, acquiring great power requires sacrifice. I am here to tell you what the sacrifice is]

 

Wait, I used Issei’s power and still have to sacrifice.

 

[Of course, you can’t cheat your way into power. Though using Sekiryuutei’s power has reduced the sacrifice, you still have to give something in return to the power.]

 

Wait, wait, if that’s true, why didn’t you tell me this beforehand? I wouldn’t have done this if I knew. I would have only relied on the holy water and cross.

 

[You didn’t ask.]

 

Wtf? You lizard faced bastard..

 

[Watch your language or I won’t help you. It’s not my job to baby you, unless you ask something I won’t answer.]

 

Ok, Ok I am sorry. Oh Great Red Dragon, can you please tell me what I have to sacrifice for the power.

 

[Sarcasm I see. I will overlook it since you apologized. Anyway there are two things. First you won’t be able to use your Sacred Gear for a day after unleashing the Balance Breaker. Of course once you can do it yourself without any boost later that won’t be the case but for now this is the limit.]

 

Ah, I see. That’s not too bad, I can live with that. What’s the other one?

 

[Until you can fully control and fully utilize your Balance Breaker, the energy from your Sacred Gear will leak into your body. This will cause your demonic power to weaken due to clash with the Dragon’s aura. I estimate you will be about 20% weaker. This happen because you pushed your Sacred Gear beyond the limits your body can control. Hence the excess aura your body can’t control will flow into your body.]

 

Wait, pushed beyond limit? This didn’t happen to Issei.

 

[He got one hand transformed into a Dragon so a lot more aura leaked into his body. You using his power reduced the damage. All you need is time, just get control of your Balance Breaker.]

 

Easy for you to say. That will take a lot of time. I don’t have that much time, we have bigger threats coming. Especially Vali. I am especially scared of him. But wait, didn’t that mean Issei was also weakened?

 

[He possesses very little demonic power, so it was no consequence. Anyway time for you to wake up.]

 

Wait…

 

Before I could say anything else my eyes opened and I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. It looked like an infirmary, there were beds on my either side. So this is place where they treat the injured from rating games.

 

I heard a voice, “Akira-san..you are ok” and immediately was hugged by someone. I looked and saw it was Asia.

 

I smiled and said, “Yes I am. Can you let go? I need to sit”.

 

Asia nodded and she looked relieved, she had tears in her eyes.

 

I got up to see Buchou was sitting next to my bad.

 

Akeno, Kiba, Koneko and Issei were all standing around my bed. They all looked relived.

 

I smiled and said, “Hello Everyone, we won right? So why the long face?”.

 

Rias said, “Akira, you know you overused your demonic powers? You were out for 2 hours. We were really worried”.

 

“Yeah man , you were out cold”, said Issei. KIba, Koneko and Akeno nodded.

 

I scratched my head sheepishly and said, “Yeah my bad. Sorry for making you guys worried”.

 

Asia then came in front of me teared eyed but with a determined face and said, “Akira-san please don’t ever do that again”.

 

“Yes, Asia is correct”, said Rias.

 

“I’ll try”, I said with a weak smile.

 

“Man that power was so great. Buchou said that it was almost ‘Ultimate Class’ level”, said issei trying to change the subject.

 

Almost ‘Ultimate Class’ huh? That’s good to hear.

 

“Is that so?”, I said.

 

“Yes, it was. But ‘Balance Breaker’ Akira, how did you achieve it?”, asked Buchou. Everyone was looked at me in anticipation of my answer.

 

I told them about borrowing power from Issei and the whole process, including the drawback, as I need to find a solution immediately.

 

Everyone listened and Rias said, “Still wasn’t the risk too great? Why did you do it?”.

 

“I didn’t know it would be like this. If I did I wouldn’t have. But anyway it’s not a bad thing per se. I can enjoy life normally. It’s just my combat efficiency is reduced. I just need to find a way to master ‘Balance Breaker’ ten it will be solved. Yeah, it wasn’t all that bad, I mean we won”, I said.

Well I just need to train a lot more I guess, then I can be stronger so that the reduced power doesn’t effect me. Achieving full control over “Balance Breaker” in such a short time is impossible after all.

 

Well, there is also the method in the anime but no way am I going to suggest that myself. I don’t even know if it work on me anyway.

 

Rias was making a sad face.

 

Then Issei said, “You were so cool, we won thanks to you. I couldn’t do anything”.

 

I immediately said, “Don’t say that. It was team effort. Everyone contributed. Everyone worked together to weaken Rise before I entered the battle. Everyone contributed especially you Ise. Thanks to you I was able to achieve ‘Balance Breaker’ and defeat Riser. You helped us to win the match. I should be thanking you” and smiled.

 

“I-I see”, said Issei looking embarrassed.

 

“That’s true”, said Akeno and everyone nodded.

 

Buchou and Akeno said that they will research about Dragon’s aura so I will leave it to them to find a solution.

 

After resting for a while we decided to return back to the human world. We decided to eat at a restaurant to celebrate our win. I had the perfect place in mind so I said that I will choose the restaurant and everyone.

 

Meanwhile Grayfia came to the infirmary to tell us that the engagement has ben cancelled. Also our rating game will be shown to the whole underworld as it was “great”, whatever that means.

 

Also apparently Rias’s brother will hold a small party in the school tomorrow night to celebrate our win. It will be a small one, where excluding our group and Rias’s brother and Grayfia only the Student Council will be present as they helped with the broadcast.

 

He wanted to make it bigger as it was his sister’s first victory  but given the circumstances it will anger a lot of devils in the underworld hence this.

 

As we were making our way to the magic circle for teleportation Ravel suddenly appeared in our front and was glaring at me silently.

 

I sighed and asked, “What? We won fair and square. There shouldn’t be any complaints”.

 

My words were followed by silence as Ravel continued to glare without saying anything.

 

“Or are you angry at the fact that I didn’t fight you and had you trapped in the game? I only did that because you said you were a non-combatant. Well anyway if you want to fight one on one I am ready anytime”, I said and glared at her.

 

She flinched and moved aside letting us go.

 

We went past her. Then we teleported to the human world.

 

I took us to a restaurant. We ordered breakfast and then I suggested, “You guys have to try the ‘fried chicken’ here, that’s the reason I suggested this place. It’s delicious”.

 

So we ordered two buckets of “fried chicken” with our other food.

 

Issei then asked, “Why ‘fried chicken’ though suddenly?”

 

“Because we defeated one last night. Having one now is fitting”, I said with a smile.

 

Everyone understood and laughed.

 

After that I relished the juicy fried chicken a lot.

 

 

Third Person POV:

 

 

After the match between Riser Phenex and Rias Gremory ended, somewhere in a room in the underworld.

 

There were two groups of elderly devils sitting. One side had a middle aged man with Crimson hair and the other side had a man with Blond hair.

 

“So Riser lost the match huh?”, said the Blond haired man.

 

“Lord Phoenix. I’m very sorry that this engagement turned out like this. I know it’s rude but this engagement—”, said the crimson hair.

 

“You don’t have to say any more, Lord Gremory. It was a good engagement for pure Devils, but it looks like we both had too much greed. Both of us already have pure Devil grandchildren. Maybe it’s the greed as Devils that made us crave for it. Or is it because we saw hell in the last war”, said Lord Phenex.

 

“......No, I also forced my greed onto my daughter”, said Lord Gremory.

 

“His name was Suzuki-kun, correct? I wanted to thank him. What my son lacked was defeat. He overestimated the ability of our clan. This will also be a good lesson for my son. Phoenix is not absolute. Just learning that was enough for this engagement, Lord Gremory”, said Lord Phenex.

 

“Lord Phoenix......”, said Lord Gremory.

 

“Your daughter has a good servant. Looks like the Underworld won’t be bored in the future”, said Lord Phenex.

 

“......But, I never would have thought that my daughter would pick it up. One of the greatest powers in existence. And even the Welsh Dragon as well”, said Lord Gremory.

 

“——Dream Dragon/Apocalypse Dragon. I couldn’t believe that that absolute existence actually came to our side until I saw it, let alone the loathsome Welsh Dragon”, said Lord Phenex.

 

“Then the next will be—”, said Lord Gremory.

 

“Yes, it must be. No, perhaps it already exists”, said Lord Phenex.

 

“Vanishing Dragon——. It’s a matter of time until the red meets the white. What will the Apocalypse dragon do then?” , said Lord Gremory.

 

And with that the engagement ended. But the meeting left a lot of speculations in the minds of devil elders as to what the future has in store.
