"The boy seems to be holding his own against Riser very well. Impressive," Sirzechs did an internal analysis.
(In the rating game)
Issei didn't give Riser a room to breathe at all as he focused his boosted powers on his wings and charged at Riser to start another deadly dance.
Riser employed mental tactics and started taunting the young pervert.
Issei was getting angry and his punches were becoming sloppy.
Riser saw an opening and kicked him in the face.
"You are too young and inexperienced to challenge Riser. Give up and I might be merciful." His egoistical side reared its ugly head again.
Issei analyzed the current situation he was in, this guy was faster than him but his spars with Naruto had increased his overall speed and reaction time but a week compared to the years experience was too much for Issei.
It looks like I'll have to use that earlier than I thought.
"Fine, Riser has been merciful enough. I think it's high time you die so I can get on with my wedding," he said as he rushed Issei.
Riser went for a haymaker and to his surprise, Issei caught his fist and his grab was tighter and stronger. He went for a roundhouse kick which made Issei double over in pain but the Burnetts wouldn't let
Riser charged at Issei again but, this time, they were both matched and they kept on fighting with Riser healing instantly from any damage he received while Issei stamina gradually decreased. Riser charged up a ball of fire and threw it at Issei who countered by slapping the flames away with his Sacred Gear. Riser charged up a bigger fireball and took aim at Issei. He dodged most of it before Riser stepped up his game.
Riser's fist caught flames as he punched the floor. A pillar of fire rushed towards Issei. Acting quickly, he rolled over but a human-sized fireball was already on his face before a green wisp of magic energy appeared around his legs and he sped out of their way.
This technique was actually something Naruto suggested while he was picking his nose. He remembered Naruto saying that if he could boost his powers to a certain level and at a given time, would he be able to focus it fully or partially on a part of his body? The result was this. He would gain twice the boosted power if he focused it on a certain part of his body. It had its disadvantages, too.
He sped towards Riser, dodging all the fireballs launched at him. He got close and focused his boost on his feet. He kicked Riser's head off, a sickening crunch filled the air as his neck twisted in a grotesque manner before it snapped back in place.
Riser bellowed in anger and expelled flames from all around his body as his vicinity was ignited.
Issei jumped back a long distance and stared at his singed sleeves. Blocking a flaming fist wasn't easy. He had to finish this fight quickly before he reached his boost limit. His musing was cut short when the flames around riser gathered into his palms as he closed his fist and opened them wide at him before a huge blast of flame hit Issei.
His back made contact with the wall with bang as spider cracks appeared on it, he bounced off the wall into a crouching stance and wiped off the blood streaming from his mouth.
"This is the end for you boy!" Riser screamed.
He brought his hands above his head and his body itself caught fire before they gathered into the space between his hands. The ball of fire looked really small and harmless but the amount of heat it generated was insane.
(Back in the hall)
"Looks like this is the end of the line for your pawn, Rias," Ravel stated with closed eyes.
Rias, who had difficulty keeping her mouth shut due to Issei's new prowess, frowned when she heard that.
"He's been doing good on his own, Ravel. I have full faith in him," she said with conviction.
Sirzechs stared at the game with great interest. He watched the rating game and he was pretty unimpressed with Issei and that perverted technique of his. Sirzechs believed the name to be Dress Break. Compared to the White One, this boy was lacking in all areas but the Issei in front of him battling Riser was a far cry from the perverted Issei a week ago. He wondered how he managed to attain skills like this in a week.
Kiba never expected Issei to be this good. The boy was on fire today. Excuse the pun.
Koneko had an indifferent face on but her eyes were glued to the match
Akeno, Akeno... Well she had a blush on.
Most of the devils had disbelief written all over their faces. A low-level devil was holding his own against Lord Riser! They found that hard to believe.

Issei knew he had to finish this fight, he had prolonged it for too long. He dipped his hand into his pocket to make sure it was in there. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a rustling sound as his fingers ran through the object in his pocket. It was time to finish this.
"Oi, Ddraig, let's do this!" he screamed out to dragon partner.
Boost

Issei felt power course through him as he readied his own attack.
"Riser's ultimate technique will prevail over yours, Gremory servant!" Riser said as he brought both hands in front of him with his right fingers facing up and his left fingers facing downwards and his palms facing Issei. The hot fireball cracked and a beam of hot, intense flames rushed at Issei
Issei, too, drew his arms back and fired his own technique. "Doragon Shotto!"
Both beams met in the middle and it looked like Riser's would prevail before Ddraig gave Issei another boost. The Dragon Shot swallowed Riser's beam as it incinerated Riser's upper body. His body formed back later and he leveled a heated glare at Issei before he chuckled and it gradually became a full blown laugh.
"No matter what you do, Riser will heal from it. I am immortal!" he roared at Issei.
