I asked the system,
Kousei:What should I do?
The system's voice echoed in my head.
System:If you didn't postpone your next breakthrough...
Kousei:You mean to the 9th stage?
I asked, feeling a flicker of hope.
"Yup," the system answered.
Kousei:Would it make a difference?
"Just try it."
I instantly held onto Issei, activating my stealth jade tag and throwing a smoke bomb. We disappeared into the cover of the forest. But I knew it wouldn't last; Grayfia would still find us. I held Issei tightly and placed him next to a tree.
"Big bro," he muttered, spitting out blood.
I grabbed a higher-tier healing pill and fed it to him. Anger surged through me. I was beyond pissed. I was going to make her pay.
I sat down and took a new pill, the Celestial Radiance Pill, and began to circulate my qi using Meridian Cleansing Technique and Harmony Breath. I felt a breakthrough coming. My energy exploded, and I grinned as I reached the 9th stage.
Kousei:System, give me five very powerful techniques to purchase.
The system responded, presenting options:
1. **Celestial Dragon Fist**
2. **Ethereal Shadow Steps**
3. **Divine Thunder Strike**
4. **Phoenix Rebirth Flame**
5. **Void Breaker Slash**
I turned to Issei, who was still down, feeling the weight of our defeat.
Kousei:No worries, bro
I said, grinning.
Kousei:I'm going to make sure she regrets ever messing with us.
This bar is personal
I purchased Void Breaker Slash and Divine Thunder Strike. However, the Void Breaker Slash was immensely powerful and consumed a lot of qi. Feeling the surge of power at the 9th stage, I grinned, the immense energy coursing through me. I leaped up, flying through the forest, sensing Grayfia locking down on me.
Kousei:Hey system, give me the chances of me beating Grayfia, surviving her, and escaping.
The system quickly calculated. The odds of beating her were slim, surviving her was a bit higher, but escaping was the most feasible option.
But unfortunately I plan to throwing hands all the way to the end, sorry dxd random I'm going to toss that maid's salad
I turned to issei he's going to be a major help in this fight, I began to jump several times like Goku
Kousei:Well, let's do this
I muttered.
I entered my peak strength and rushed at her, golden aura blazing with cosmic energy, the blue outline shimmering with intensity. Purple sparks of the Avenger's Aura crackled around me, enhancing my speed and power. This time the match was completely different from before.
I flew to the sky and saw grayfia, she was waiting for me the whole time someone wants to get her ass kicked
I took out avengers edge
I launched the Void Breaker Slash, a powerful arc of energy slicing through the air towards Grayfia. She raised a hand, a magical barrier forming in front of her. The slash collided with the barrier, the impact creating a shockwave that rippled through the forest, trees bending and breaking under the force. Grayfia's eyes widened slightly, impressed by the sheer power of the attack.
She retaliated with a blast of ice magic, shards of frozen energy hurtling towards me. I dodged and weaved through them, closing the distance. My Avenger's Edge glowed with golden light as I activated Divine Thunder Strike. Lightning crackled around the blade as I swung it down at her. Grayfia parried with a sword made of ice, the clash of elements sending sparks and shards flying in all directions.
Grayfia:You've grown stronger, Kousei
Grayfia acknowledged, her tone calm and measured despite the intensity of our battle.
I gritted my teeth, pushing her back with a surge of power.
Kousei:You haven't seen anything yet!
I spun, delivering a series of rapid strikes infused with qi. Grayfia blocked and countered with fluid precision, her ice magic reinforcing her defenses. We moved at blinding speed, the forest around us becoming a blur of motion. Each clash of our weapons created bursts of energy, illuminating the darkened woods.
Grayfia suddenly stepped back, raising her hand. A massive spell circle formed above her, ice crystals forming into a spear.
"Absolute Zero!"
she declared, launching the spear towards me.
I channeled my qi, activating Elemental Fusion Proficiency. My aura shifted, blending with the cosmic energy.
"Cosmic Veil!"
I shouted, a barrier of swirling starlight forming around me. The spear collided with the barrier, shattering into a million pieces of glittering ice.
Taking advantage of the opening, I surged forward, slashing at her with a combination of Void Breaker Slash and Divine Thunder Strike. Grayfia barely managed to block the first strike, but the second one hit her squarely, sending her flying back into a tree, which splintered under the impact.
She got up, her maid outfit torn and her face etched with determination.
Grayfia:Impressive, but this ends now
she said, her voice cold as ice. She summoned a massive wave of ice magic, the temperature dropping drastically as the ground froze over.
I braced myself, focusing all my energy.
Kousei:Horizon Avenger Technique: Celestial Nova!
I called out, unleashing a massive blast of cosmic energy. The wave of ice met the celestial blast head-on, the resulting explosion creating a blinding light that engulfed the entire area.
This technique is born from the Celestial Genesis something I created myself not the system
When the light faded, both Grayfia and I were breathing heavily, our energies depleted. Despite the intense battle, I could see a hint of respect in her eyes.
Grayfia:you have potential, Kousei. But this fight is over
Grayfia said, her tone firm but not unkind.
I nodded, acknowledging her strength.
Kousei:Yeah, I know.
As the clash of elements subsided, I knew we were far from done. Both Grayfia and I had shown our respective strengths, but the fight wasn't over. Issei, still recuperating, was out of the fight for now. It was up to me to face Grayfia and see this through.
Kousei:Alright, Grayfia
I called out, wiping the sweat from my brow.
Kousei:Let's take this up a notch.
She tilted her head slightly, her red eyes narrowing.
Grayfia:Very well. Let's see what you can do.
Time to get this hands, this hands are rated E for EVERYONE even hot maids
With a burst of speed, I closed the distance between us. My fists glowed with qi as I launched a flurry of punches. Grayfia met each strike with her own, her movements precise and calculated. Her ice magic coated her hands, creating a thin layer of frost that reinforced her blows. The air around us crackled with energy as our fists collided.
I ducked under a high kick, sweeping her legs out from under her. She flipped in mid-air, landing gracefully and countering with a series of rapid punches. I blocked and parried, our movements a blur to any onlooker. Each hit sent shockwaves through the ground, the force of our blows creating craters around us.
"Impressive," Grayfia admitted, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
Grayfia:But not enough.
STOP SAYING THAT
She spun, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick. I blocked with my forearm, the impact sending me sliding back. Before I could recover, she was already on me, her fists a flurry of ice-coated strikes. I gritted my teeth, focusing my qi into my hands.
"Harmony Breath: Iron Fist!"
I shouted, my fists glowing with a golden light. I met her blows head-on, the force of our attacks sending shockwaves through the forest. Each strike was a test of endurance and willpower, neither of us giving an inch.
Grayfia's eyes flashed as she summoned more ice magic, her hands forming intricate patterns.
"Glacial Barrage!"
she cried, unleashing a rapid series of ice projectiles. I weaved through them, my movements enhanced by Wind Steps. I closed the distance again, my fists a blur as I struck at her defenses.
Grayfia:You're persistent
she remarked, her voice calm despite the intensity of our battle. She caught one of my punches, twisting my arm and throwing me over her shoulder. I hit the ground but rolled to my feet, launching myself back at her with renewed vigor.
We continued our hand-to-hand combat, each strike more intense than the last. Grayfia's ice magic gave her an edge, but my qi-infused techniques kept me in the fight. I used Meridian Cleansing Techniques to enhance my endurance, allowing me to keep up with her relentless assault.
"Celestial Ascendancy!"
I called out, channeling my cosmic energy into my fists. My strikes became faster and more powerful, each hit glowing with a blue aura. Grayfia's ice magic met my celestial power, the clash of elements creating sparks and shards of ice that flew in all directions.
She countered with a spinning kick, her foot encased in ice. I ducked under it, delivering a powerful uppercut that sent her staggering back. She quickly recovered, her eyes narrowing as she assessed me.
Grayfia:You're stronger than I anticipated,
she admitted, her tone serious.
Grayfia:But this ends now.
Grayfia summoned a massive surge of ice magic, her entire body glowing with a blue aura. The temperature around us dropped drastically, frost forming on the ground and trees. She launched herself at me, her fists a blur of icy energy.
I met her head-on, my golden aura flaring as I activated Void Breaker Slash with my bare hands. The sheer force of our clash created a shockwave that flattened the surrounding forest. We exchanged blows at an incredible speed, each hit creating craters and fissures in the ground
Grayfia's expression shifted to one of determination, her eyes blazing with an intense red light.
Grayfia:You've impressed me, Kousei. But this ends now. I will not hold back any longer.
I barely had time to react before she closed the distance between us with a burst of incredible speed. Her fists, now encased in layers of ice, struck with the force of a sledgehammer. Each blow landed with bone-crushing power, and I could feel my defenses weakening under the relentless assault.
I tried to counter with a barrage of punches, my fists glowing with golden qi, but Grayfia was too fast. She weaved through my attacks effortlessly, her movements a blur. Her ice-coated fists pounded against my body, sending shockwaves of pain through me.
She delivered a powerful kick to my midsection, and I felt the wind knocked out of me. I staggered back, trying to catch my breath, but she didn't give me a moment's respite. Her next attack was a rapid series of strikes, each one landing with pinpoint accuracy. My vision blurred, and I tasted blood in my mouth.
Grayfia:is this all you have?
Grayfia's voice was cold and mocking.
Grayfia:i expected more from you.
WELL FUCK YOU TOO
Gritting my teeth, I summoned every ounce of strength I had left. I activated my aura of the avenger, dark purple sparks dancing around me. My body glowed with a golden light as I poured my qi into my fists.
Kousei:This isn't over yet!
ZENKAI BOOST
I launched myself at her with renewed determination, my fists a blur as I unleashed a series of powerful punches. Grayfia met each one with her ice-coated hands, the impact creating explosions of frost and golden light. The ground beneath us cracked and shattered under the pressure of our attacks.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't land a decisive blow. Grayfia's speed and precision were overwhelming. She ducked under my punches, countering with powerful strikes that left me reeling. Her ice magic enhanced her attacks, each hit sending waves of cold through my body.
With a fierce cry, Grayfia summoned a massive surge of ice magic. A whirlwind of frost and snow enveloped her, creating a swirling vortex of frozen energy.
"Glacial Maelstrom!"
she shouted, unleashing the full force of her power.
The freezing wind howled around us, and I could feel my movements slowing as the cold seeped into my bones. I struggled to maintain my footing, my body trembling from the intense cold. Grayfia's attacks became even more relentless, her fists striking with the force of a blizzard.
I tried to fight back, but it was no use. Grayfia's power was overwhelming. She delivered a powerful uppercut that lifted me off the ground, and I crashed down hard, the impact leaving me gasping for air.
"Stay down," Grayfia commanded, her voice icy and authoritative.
Grayfia:you cannot win.
But I refused to give up. Summoning the last of my strength, I pushed myself to my feet. My body ached, and I could barely stand, but I wasn't ready to surrender.
Kousei:I'm not done yet
I growled, my voice filled with determination.
Grayfia's expression softened slightly, a hint of respect in her eyes.
Grayfia:Very well. But know that this will be your last stand.
She charged at me with blinding speed, her fists a blur of ice and frost. I met her head-on, my golden aura blazing brightly. Our fists collided with a deafening explosion, the impact creating a shockwave that rippled through the forest.
The ground beneath us shattered, and the air crackled with energy. Grayfia's ice magic clashed with my qi, creating a dazzling display of light and frost. We exchanged blow after blow, each strike more powerful than the last.
But I could feel my strength waning. Grayfia's relentless assault was taking its toll, and my body was reaching its limit. She delivered a powerful kick to my chest, sending me crashing into a tree. I slumped to the ground, struggling to breathe.
"Enough," Grayfia said, her voice firm.
Grayfia:you fought well, but this battle is over.
I looked up at her, my vision blurry. I knew she was right. I had given it my all, but it wasn't enough. With a heavy heart, I nodded in defeat.
Kousei:You're right. I can't beat you.....BUT WE CAN ISSEI NOW
Issei is seen breathing harshly with his gauntlet pulsing with energy
Time for the contingency plan
