Saw dozens of spears of light that were about to pierce him.
"Ddraig"
Issei muttered and at the same time a red gauntlet with golden spikes and a green orb attached to it appeared on his left hand.
"Leave this little attack to me, partner."
"My aura alone is enough."
A masculine-sounding and arrogant male voice sounded from inside the gauntlet that was flashing with green light.
Instantly, the green aura from the gauntlet exploded in all directions, making all of Raynare's light spears shatter and the girl herself bounce several meters back.
The bouncing Raynare was only slightly physically injured, but her soul was filled with terror.
The green aura that crashed into her made her extremely frightened.
Her instincts as a fallen angel instantly told her that the being with the green aura must be a being of a higher race than angels.
It was clearly a superior being that was at the top of the food chain!
Looking at the red gauntlet attached to Issei's left hand.
She finally understood.
Although initially she had already suspected that Issei had a very powerful Sacred Gear which was why she had even gone to this extent to steal his Sacred Gear.
But she didn't expect that the Sacred Gear that the perverted boy had would be one of Longinus' 13 Sacred Gear!
The gauntlet's familiar appearance...
Inside that thing was the soul of the dragon that resided within.
No wonder her instincts were screaming to escape from this place right now after being hit by that green aura.
As someone who had been a Sacred Gear thief for quite some time.
She would instantly recognize what kind of Sacred Gear Issei had.
That was...
"Boosted Gear!"
"To have that kind of Sacred Gear..."
"To even be able to use it..."
"Issei-kun, you're hiding too deep."
Raynare rose from the ground, her body trembling slightly. Even so, she gritted her teeth and looked at the Boosted Gear in Issei's hand with gluttony and jealousy in her eyes.
Why?
Why did that weak and disgusting human have such strong power?
Why were they chosen as people who could possess Sacred Gear?
Instead of choosing your own children, father... God of the Bible, you insist on giving this much alms to mankind.
That's not fair...
If I knew Issei was faking, I should have brought the others with me.
Facing Issei alone, now she was even less confident.
"Yuma-chan... Or should I call you, Raynare? You know the name of my Sacred Gear just by looking at it? As expected of you."
"It's natural to memorize Sacred Gear's every appearance as the recently famous Sacred Gear thief, right?"
Issei walked calmly, he continued to approach Raynare with an arrogant expression.
Seeing that the bitch who traumatized him for so long in his previous life looked terrified and kept stepping back every time he approached her.
He couldn't help but laugh.
"How did you...."
"How do I know your real name and profession? Curious?"
"No, I'm..."
Raynare continued to step back, she felt humiliated and very angry to see the perverted boy she had previously treated as an idiot treating her like prey instead of the other way around.
She was so angry and humiliated!
But... What could she do?
The other party clearly looked very confident and even communicated with the dragon inside the Booster Gear familiarly to use its power.
Although she was also an arrogant person, she knew she was no match for Issei, at least not for a dragon inside a gauntlet whose aura was even enough to intimidate her.
She did not want to admit it, but in a situation like this she was actually a coward.
"Issei-kun... You, what are you going to do to me? I'm sorry, can you let me go?"
"I promise I won't appear in front of your eyes again forever after I leave!"
"Let's forget about this matter, okay?"
Raynare's expression changed and it became gentle like when she was acting as Yuma.
But seeing this, Issei's expression did not change, even sneering.
{The same trick she used in previous life before she was beaten to death by me}.
{Raynare, you bitch... Do you think your acting is enough to fool me? You think I don't know that as long as I let you go, you will definitely ask other fallen angels for help to deal with me?}
{Although that bunch of crows will be useless against the current me.}
{But hey... Too bad I had no intention of letting you go.}
{Death is too cheap for you too, I just want to torture a bitch like you until I'm satisfied.}
{What kind of torture is that? I've been thinking about it for a long time.}
Looking at Raynare's hot figure, Issei's cold gaze gradually became lecherous.
His smile looked crooked, making Raynare shudder and back away in fear!
Damn, what's wrong with this guy?
Why do I feel he has ill intentions towards my body?
That look...
It's a perverted sadistic gaze.
He, this disgusting human wants my body!
"Bastard! What do you want to do!?"
"Oh? Not going to act as Yuma? Why don't you get on with it? I actually kind of like watching you beg, Raynare." Issei asked amusedly.
"You! Stop, don't come near me, don't touch me!"
Raynare who now had a terrified and fierce expression created another spear of light from her hand and this time directly thrust it at Issei's face!
But Issei casually caught the spear of light with his red gauntlet-covered hand.
The spear of light again broke and looked very fragile in front of him.
Issei's expression became extremely cold, his voice even more cruel as he watched Raynare run away and start flapping her wings to fly.
"Bitch, Raynare, who allowed you to leave?"
"Also, what's with the "Don't touch me" Heh, as if you're a holy woman."
"Who do you think you are!"
As if triggered by Issei's anger and disgust, the Boosted Gear again shone and it was brighter than before while chanting "Boost, boost, boost" many times until...
Issei moved his left hand as if to punch and at the end of his fist a red ball of energy was instantly created.
The ball of energy was struck by Issei and flew into Raynare's wings, making the pair of black feathered wings explode with blood and feathers splashing in the sky.
The energy ball passed through Raynare, crashing into a tree and creating a sizable explosion in the park.
As for Raynare, she fell from the sky and lay on the ground screaming in pain.
"Ahh!!! My wings!!! My wings... No, my beautiful wings... Ahh!! How dare you! How dare a disgusting human destroy my wings!!!"
Raynare roared, even in pain, her expression distorted as if she was insane.
It seemed like she considered her wings so important that losing them had a huge impact on her mind.
However, seeing the explosion of Issei's energy ball that passed through her and exploded in front of her.
Looking at the explosion marks, she also felt very scared and she knew that it had hit her earlier.
Not just her wings, even her entire body would have exploded into a mist of blood.
She would die with just that one strike.
Scary.
Is this the power of Longinus' Sacred Gear?
Is this the power of Boosted Gear?
Raynare was envious, but her envy was nothing compared to her fear that made her want to escape this place right now!
"Still want to run away? Raynare, why don't you just obey and let me do what I want to you."
The sound of Issei's footsteps echoed in the garden and the sound was getting closer.
Raynare who was trying to run with a limp leg and a bloodied back did not dare to look back.
She was really scared as if she was being chased by a ghost!
However, as she was running, a black shadow flickered in front of her and suddenly Issei appeared in front of her.
So fast!
Raynare screamed in terror and fell backwards on her butt.
Now Issei was standing right in front of her looking down on her with a lecherous grin on his face.
Raynare felt scared and disgusted!
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Azazel-sama and hoped that the other party could appear and save her.
But she knew that was impossible, she was no longer even his subordinate, she had betrayed him to become a Sacred Gear thief with the others.
It made her regretful and now she was desperate.
Looking at Issei's hand that seemed to be reaching out to her, she no longer knew what to do.
It seemed like she could not escape this situation.
Her body would be defiled by the human she had always looked down upon.
[Well... Should I show up now? Guys, I'm almost late for the supermarket.]
[And Lala is still waiting for me at home!]
"..."
"..."
Raynare and Issei certainly couldn't hear Eiji's inner voice.
But the two girls who had been watching the protagonist's revenge drama not far away heard this.
Rias and Akeno who were hiding behind the trees while concealing their presence with magic - rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Honestly if Eiji's inner voice hadn't interrupted, they would still be engrossed in watching this drama and almost forgot the time to comment!
"So protagonist is the owner of Boosted Gear? Interesting. The power he's displayed so far can be said to be strong."
"If he's invited to my peerage, maybe he can..."
Rias looked dazed as she recalled Issei's destructive power, but Akeno quickly patted her shoulder.
"Don't rush to decide."
"Although Issei Hyudou looks strong, but he's not the only one who can help with your problem, right? There's still Eiji-kun."
"Also, do you really want that perverted protagonist to join our group? If you do that. Rias, we might end up like in the original work."
Rias gasped and finally regained her senses when she heard this.
"You're right Akeno. Sorry, I was almost tempted just because of the little show of power."
"Don't worry, after all it's also one of our purposes to follow Eiji-kun after school. In addition to judging how strong Eiji-kun is, we're actually also curious how strong protagonist is."
Her queen sounded comforting.
Rias smiled wryly, but she immediately smiled as usual and said: "Well now let's see what Eiji will do? According to Sona, he should have a sword-type Sacred Gear called Excalibur whose power is probably stronger than the Holy Sword of the Church."
"I wonder how strong it is compared to Boosted Gear?"
It's as if the pause button was finally canceled by the author.
Issei and Raynare's scene continues.
At the moment Issei's arm was about to reach Raynare.
And Raynare looks desperate.
*Swoosh!
The sound of a rapid gust of wind could be heard.
It was right in front of Issei's face and the moment Issei realized it.
{Damn!}
"Partner!"
Ddraig shouted and Issei accelerated his response by raising the gauntlet in front of his face.
*Boom!
What hit him, was actually a white ball-like magic attack and it was strong enough to throw him several meters away!
Raynare who saw this was dumbfounded.
Issei who rolled on the ground and immediately got up.
Although he was unharmed, he felt very angry and humiliated that someone dared to attack him secretly!
The Boosted Gear slightly emitted smoke due to being hit by the other party's shots, but fortunately the Boosted Gear's defense was not weak and did not even leave any blisters.
With a dark expression, Issei looked in the direction the previous attack had come from and shouted.
"Who are you?! If you dare, come out and face me!"
"How dare you make a sneak attack!"
In response to Issei's shout.
The sound of casual footsteps could be heard and a blonde-haired figure appeared on the park path just like that as if he had just taken off his transparent filter.
Not only Issei. Raynare, Rias and Akeno's gazes were immediately drawn to that figure.
That figure was none other than Eiji.
After canceling his hiding magic that he mastered through the Demon King Varvatos character card that had just reached 6% fusion.
Although it was only 6%.
There were quite a few abilities of Demon King Varvatos that he could now use and they were all various magic spells.
The attack he threw at Issei earlier was one of Demon King Varvatos' magic.
"Magic Bullet. Looks like that's still not enough to defeat you, Issei Hyudou."
"I'm your Senpai at school, by the way."
"My name is Eiji Seiya, nice to meet you."
Eiji walked over with a friendly smile, completely incompatible with his sneak attack behavior.
Of course, his face was very thick after all.
Why be embarrassed for making a sneak attack?
In front of the enemy.
Any dirty trick is worth trying.
Who knows if it works, right?
"Senpai of my school, Eiji Seiya? Why are you suddenly attacking me? Wanting to be a beauty-saving hero for this bitch or are you actually in a group with her?"
"By the way since you dared to attack me. Of course you can't leave here, you have to accept the consequences for disturbing my fun."
Raynare wanted to state that Eiji did not belong to the same group as her, but putting that aside she had a little hope when she heard Issei mention the beauty-saving hero.
Could this boy named Eiji Seiya come to her rescue?
Eiji did not bother looking at Raynare who was now sitting on the ground beside him.
He just looked at Issei who was standing not far in front of him and said, "Tsk, is this your attitude towards Senpai in your school? Issei, can you be more polite to Senpai? Call me Eiji Senpai."
"You... Want me to call you Senpai? Are you worthy? The blonde bastard who attacked me secretly..."
Issei's expression was ugly, he believed the blond boy in front of him was indeed the Senpai of the same school as him since he was wearing the same school uniform as him.
But what's with this sudden seniority?
By the way was it just his hallucination that he heard a girl's voice laughing and giggling somewhere?
The ones laughing and giggling were actually Rias and Akeno, both of whom couldn't help but laugh at Eiji forcing Issei to call him Senpai.
To be honest if it wasn't for Issei's identity as the protagonist, they definitely didn't feel this funny to laugh.
Eiji whose hearing was as sharp as a superhuman certainly heard the sound of the laughing girls.
His lips twitched, although he was a little surprised, he could guess who the girls who might have been hiding and watching so far were.
But forget it.
Just ignore them for now and face the protagonist first.
"Too bad, you seem like a junior who doesn't respect your Senpai."
"Stop with your seniority, bastard!"
"Hey... Looks like I'll have to hit you."
The prominent veins on Issei's forehead, this blonde boy made him very upset.
"Partner, calm down. This guy probably deliberately made you lose your composure to loosen your guard and give you a surprise attack..."
Ddraig immediately advised Issei and Issei immediately became calmer.
"You're right Ddraig. I definitely won't fall for his sneaky tricks."
"That's good, partner."
As the gauntlet and its owner began to chat so harmoniously.
"Cough!" Eiji pretended to cough and said, "Can you guys not slander me? I don't play that kind of trick."
"And honestly I'm in a hurry right now. So let's just finish this in one strike, okay?"
Issei snorted, with a mocking expression - he said while gesturing with his hands:
"Even your sneak attack earlier meant nothing to me. You think you can defeat me with one strike?"
"I will give you one chance to attack me with your strongest attack."
"Come on, I want to see how strong your small strength is compared to a person destined to become a Dragon King like me."
The corners of Eiji's lips curled, his gaze staring at Issei as if he was an idiot looking for death.
[Hahaha as expected of the protagonist, especially the overly arrogant and confident Regressor type.]
[Underestimating me and giving me the chance to attack with my strongest attack? What an idiot...but it saves me time.]
"Strongest attack? There's no need. But I will use my own Sacred Gear to defeat you."
Issei raised his eyebrows.
Sacred Gear?
This blonde bastard also has Sacred Gear?
Not letting Issei ask, Eiji immediately took out his Excalibur.
Instantly, the fairly dark park was immediately illuminated by golden light!
