Following day.
In the morning.
Issei, partially recovering after almost dying at Freed's hands, decides not to stay still by going to a nearby park to do some lifting. He did this looking to get stronger, since he realized he was too weak, to the point of not being able to protect a simple girl.
While in the park doing surveys, Issei ends up meeting Asia again. He then decides to walk with Asia around the city. When both were looking at the stores, they ended up coming across Akuro coming out of one with a manga in hand.
Akuro is then asked to take a ride with them, which he accepts. Incredibly, he makes friends with Asia in no time. Asia was surprised by Akuro's beauty. He with his hair darker than the night itself, his eyes redder than blood, accompanied by his pale, soft and delicate skin.
...
After spending the whole morning walking, they stop to rest in front of a lake.
Akuro, on the other hand, had to go to the bathroom.
With Akuro gone, Issei meets up with Raynare again, now revealing her true Fallen Angel form. Issei even thought he could defeat her with his Boosted Gear , but it was in the most primitive form, that is, weakest.
He didn't stand a chance against Raynare. Being skewered once more, with a spear of light in his stomach. However, with Asia around, she was able to heal him.
Asia realized that if Issei kept fighting, he would end up dying, having received an injury that she couldn't heal. Therefore, Asia decides to go with Raynare to save Issei.
Now, Akuro finally arrives, soon running into the situation. Issei fainted and slightly injured, and Asia who was no longer in that place.
He rhetorically tells himself:
Akuro : ( Scratching the back of his neck ) I guess it wasn't a good time to have gone to the bathroom, huh?
Akuro finally picks up Issei and carries him to the Occult Club room.
Occult Club.
Akuro enters the room with Issei on his back, unconscious.
Rias seeing this:
Rias: Issei!! - rushes to his aid.
Akeno : Akuro-kun, what happened? Why is Issei-kun unconscious?
Akuro: Good. That... you'll have to ask him when he wakes up. - walks toward the door - Oh, and one more thing. Keep an eye on this idiot. If he continues like this... all he will find is death!
Everyone : ... ( Speechless )
...
In front of a church.
Already in front of a Church, where Asia was captured, are Issei, Kiba and Koneko. These, who decided to come and help him, since if they let him come alone, it would be certain death.
Issei: Damn! Where is that guy?! He was all friends with Asia today, so why didn't he come to save?! - went up in flames, Issei, with Akuro's absence.
Kiba : After he left you in the club room, he said such words before leaving...
( FlashBack ).
" If he continues like this... all he will find is death! "
( FlashBack END ).
Issei: Damn! He is nothing but a coward!!
Kiba : Well, well, there's no use getting angry. Right now, we have to focus on saving her. - says Kiba trying to calm his nerves, given the current situation.
Koneko : Yes... - comments indifferently as always. Finishing eating his last candy, before the fight.
Issei: Y-Yes. You're right. - consented already calming down.
Thus, the three invade the church realizing that the enemies already knew they were there. The church was in total silence, the only sounds that could be heard were their footsteps.
Suddenly, a person appears. This revealing to be Freed again. When Issei sees him he is furious, remembering what happened last time.
The battle then begins, between Freed vs Kiba, Koneko and Issei. The young people were winning until then, and when Freed was about to run away with a light bomb, a blue energy attack hits him. Sending you headlong into a wall.
Freed: Damn! Who the fuck did that?! - he shouts irritably, leaving the hole in the wall he was in, with a trail of blood dripping from his mouth. Showing that the attack he received was not mediocre.
??? : Oh, oh. Sorry, it seems I was a little late... - the person walks through the dust that had been raised by his last attack.
Freed : Y-You... - He recognizes the person who attacked him.
??? : Don't think you're going to run away after what you did last time. Get ready. Well I... I'm going to rip you apart!
Issei: Akuro?! - surprised he's showing up now.
Akuro had Tensa Zangetsu wielded on his back.
Akuro : Oh... Looks like you guys arrived early. - indifferent.
Issei : B-But, Kiba said...
Akuro : Ah, ah, yes. I said if you kept this up you would die. But I don't remember saying it wouldn't help.
Kiba : Hehe... Exactly. - smiling.
Issei: Huh? Why are you laughing Kiba? Don't tell me... did you know he was coming?!
Kiba: Haha. I never said he wouldn't come.
Issei: So you knew! Koneko-chan too?
The only thing Koneko did was nod her head.
Issei : So I was the only one who didn't know and got it all wrong?! - asks comically.
Kiba/Koneko/Akuro: Yes.
Issei : Why do you keep hiding these things from me?! - asks irritated in a comical way.
Akuro: Issei! There is no time to lose! You three go ahead, and save Asia. I take care of him!!! - With determination draws and wields the Tensa Zangetsu.
Issei : But, are you going to take care of him alone?
Akuro : Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson!
Issei: B-But...
Kiba : No need to worry, Issei-kun. Akuro is strong.
Issei : Yeah... You're right! I'll leave it to you!- he shouts as he, Kiba and Koneko walked on.
Akuro : I swore, that you would try to stop them.
Freed: I don't need to do that. After all, they are going to die anyway. Here is full of priests and fallen angels!
Akuro : If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate them. After all, you might end up breaking your face.
Freed : I already told you, they don't interest me. But you... You are another story! A human who works with demons, is... I can't wait to see the color of his blood! Hyahahaha...!! - creepy laugh.
Akuro : Sorry, but... you're not capable of that even in your dreams!!
Freed: You arrogant! This fight will be over quickly! - he says with a disgusted face.
Akuro: I agree. But that won't even be a fight.
Freed: Huh!? What are you saying—
Get punched in the mouth. Being dragged out of the church, through several trees.
Akuro : This will be a massacre!
...
Forest around the Church.
Freed was on the ground after being thrown so far.
Freed: Damn! What the... damn!! My teeth!! - Spit some to the ground - Honestly... This boy threw me so far, just with one punch? - wipes the blood dripping from his nose.
Walking in the wake of the destruction he had caused was Akuro, walking through forest and broken trees. He approached Freed slowly.
Akuro : ( False Surprise ) Ohhh...? Are you still alive?
Freed: Hahahaha. Don't get cocky, brat. You... You just got lucky. This will not happen a second time.
Akuro: Hmm? Oh yes? It is good then.
Freed: Well, well? Have you accepted your fate yet?
Akuro: Hahahahahahahahahaha...
Freed: ( Slightly irritated ) What's funny?!
Akuro : Ahh... go. Stop talking nonsense. Of course not! - takes his left hand to his knee, and his right fist closed, to the ground - Gear Second!
As he said that, his skin turns red and smoke starts to come out of his body.
Freed: Huh? ...Ha...HAHAHAHAHAHA... I don't know what's going on with your body, but do you think you can beat me just because you have steam coming out of you? Huh? Hahahahaha.
Akuro : You can laugh all you want. But now my punches are one step ahead of everyone else! - putting a smile on your face.
Freed : Hahaha... Anyway, I appreciate you. You gave me a good laugh. But you know how it is. I will have to kill you.
Akuro: Hmph!
Akuro, on the other hand, the only thing he did was look at him with his left hand outstretched, as if he were aiming. And with the right fist closed, about to make a punch.
Akuro: Gomu Gomu no...
Freed: DIE!!!
Akuro: ...Jet Pistol!
As he said that, his punch was so fast and hard, that he barely saw him punching Freed.
Freed: Aghrrrrrr!!! - he groaned in pain.
Freed took that punch right in the pit of the stomach, being thrown away.
Akuro : Don't think it's over!
Stretching out his arm, since in addition to using this technique he has also converted his own body into rubber, he holds Freed's two arms. Leaping into the air, Akuro prepares for another blow.
Akuro: Gomu Gomu no... Jet Axe!
Stretching his leg out vertically first, Akuro throws it with great speed and force, at Freed. With it, hitting the center of her face, and sinking it into the ground. Resulting in a mini crater.
Freed : D-Damn...! Where d-comes from so much strength...?! - tries to get up again, but to no avail.
Akuro, who was still airborne after performing the attack, now lands on the ground, still in Gear Second .
Akuro: Hmph! Didn't you say you wouldn't get caught a second time?
Freed : B-Bastard...!
Akuro : And I thought you could entertain me. You know, so far... you haven't landed a single blow on me. Are you really that weak?
Freed : Miserable... You are a monster!
Akuro : Anyway, since you're going to stay there on the ground, I'll deliver the finishing blow.
Freed : Bas... Bastard! It even seems... that I'm going to lose! - exerted enormous strength, to try to get up, after so much damage.
Akuro : One For All Full Cowling, 20%!!
His body is enveloped in multicolored rays temporarily, soon after green rays begin to overlay his already reddened skin. Finally, her eyes gain a slight glow in green.
Akuro : Power Combination: Gear Second! One For All!
[Power Combination] : A special Technique of the Infinityverse Gods, which allows them to combine or fuse their powers.
Akuro, with a simple jump, remains in the air on top of Freed. With the power of their combined Techniques, a single jump was enough to crumble the ground beneath their feet.
Akuro : Oh, Freed. This... will hurt a little! - seriously outgoing.
Freed: Your...
Akuro, still in the air, utters the following:
Akuro: Gomu Gomu no...
Freed : ...fucking brat!!
Akuro: ...Jet Smash Gatling! - pronounces the name of his new scam.
Freed could no longer see anything. The only thing he felt was countless punches hitting his entire body.
Akuro's punches were already fast with Gear Second , with One for All , never mind. In addition to the speed having increased exponentially, the strength as well.
His punches were so fast, so swift, so hard, that the ground beneath Freed cracked, turning into a crater that was getting bigger as the punches landed.
When Akuro realized, Freed had already lost consciousness and was all wounded. Deciding to stop, as well as landing on the ground, Akuro deactivates his Techniques. Taking a closer look, he noticed that there was a pool of blood around Freed. Soon deciding to approach.
Akuro : ( Bored look ) Somehow... I lost interest.
Looking boredly at a bloodied Freed, Akuro kicks him away.
Akuro : So... What am I supposed to do now?
Asking himself that question, Akuro turns his back to the place, heading towards the church.
