Chapter 516 – Ddraig VS Albion (END) & DXD Asgard (END)…

[Unknown Location] 

Slowly Ddraig also started to transform into his True Form. He could probably beat Vali and his new transformation while remaining in his human form, but he wanted to leave a long-lasting impression in Vali's mind. 

Oh, yes. Ddraig decided not to kill Vali. He wanted to defeat the hybrid and keep him alive so that he could keep tormenting the boy throughout the rest of his life and always rub the fact on the boy's face that he was weak. Yes, Ddraig can be really petty if he wanted. 

Death would be too easy for the hybrid… no no… he needed to be taught a lesson…

Ddraig finally finished his transformation and flared his nostrils. Ddraig rolled his shoulders and moments later, he started to float in the air. "Come on, Vali. Show me what that transformation is capable of" Ddraig growled and rushed towards Vali, who also rushed towards Ddraig in a similar manner. 

Both of them were so fast that anybody watching the fight would only see two beams. One red and one silver. Both beams collided against each other, creating a massive shockwave. The shockwave was so strong that it ruptured the ground beneath them even though both of them were floating in the air. 

"Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!…" Several chants rang out endlessly. In a similar manner, a different chant rang throughout the area. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!…" Both of them kept using their primary abilities without a pause. 

As soon as the first impact subsided, both beams shot out towards the sky, then all of a sudden they changed direction when Ddraig landed a blow on Albion. Only after a few moments, once again they changed direction when Albion landed a blow on Ddraig. 

The whole scene kept repeating for a couple of minutes where neither of them seemed to have the upper hand in the situation, but if anyone would watch closely then they would easily notice that Vali was having a hard time keeping up with the incoming blows from Ddraig. 

Only after a few seconds, Vali faltered for the first time during the second round of their fight and Ddraig tossed Vali towards the ground. Vali crashed on the ground creating a giant crater underneath him. Ddraig stopped moving and his chest plate opened. 

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!…" Chants rang out from Ddraig as the green orb on his chest started to glow brightly. "Longinus Smasher!!" Ddraig exclaimed and a massive green-coloured beam shot out of the orb, heading towards Vali who was still lying on the ground. 

"Compression Divider!" Albion's strained voice rang out, and the massive green-coloured beam heading towards Vali started to become smaller until it flickered out of existence. "Compression Divider!!" Vali activated the ability for the second time, but this time he used the ability on Ddraig. 

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Transfer!!" Ddraig's voice rang out and he simply Transferred all the boosted raw power into his physical body to avoid Vali's attack. Slowly Ddraig's wings transformed into two cannons, but he still kept fighting. 

"Dragon Blaster!!" Ddraig exclaimed and fired the cannons. This time two beams shot out towards Vali who was still lying on the ground. 

Fortunately for Vali, he was able to get back some of his strength while Ddraig was posturing in the sky. So, Vali swiftly moved away from his spot and moments later, the beams landed on the ground, obliterating a huge chunk of ground. Ddraig simply clicked his tongue and the cannons transformed back into wings. 

Ddraig took a deep breath and spewed out red flames from his mouth, the flames easily burned through the dust cloud and it burned through anything it touched, even the ground. Vali flew out from the dust cloud, desperately trying to avoid the flames. 

'No matter what happens, don't allow those flames to touch you Vali. I am immune to them, but they will burn you into nothingness even through the armour and even souls aren't spared from those flames!!' Albion screamed inside Vali's mind. He didn't want to lose Vali in such a way. 

"How did you unlock these flames? From what I remember the God of the Bible has sealed away this ability" Albion asked and Vali arrived in front of Ddraig. The Red Dragon grinned viciously, at least Vali and Albion thought that Ddraig was grinning. 

"Yes, that is when I was sealed inside a Sacred Gear. Now that I have my own body… I am free from all the shackles he had put on me, in an attempt to control me" Ddraig answered back in a smug tone. "But you don't have to worry" Ddraig said and the flames went out. Internally, Albion was relieved that those blasted flames were gone, but he wouldn't say it out loud. 

"I am not going to kill Vali…" Ddraig said and immediately rushed towards Vali. Vali was completely taken off-guard by the attack and he couldn't do anything, but watch as Ddraig's clawed fist slammed on his face, cracking the armour. Before Vali could gather his bearings, another clawed fist slammed on his face. 

Ddraig continued to rain down punches on Vali and when he was satisfied with the damage, once again, he threw Vali towards the ground. Ddraig's wings transformed into cannons. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Transfer!! Dragon Blaster!!" Two massive beams shot out of the cannons, Vali could only watch the beams as they approached him. He was still in the sky. 

He no longer had any power to muster any type of defence. He was about to lose his transformation too… he couldn't believe that he was still so outmatched even after using a transformation stronger than the Juggernaut Drive. Now, he knew that once again, he was completely and utterly defeated. 

'Sorry, Albion. It seems I was no match for him…' Vali apologised to Albion inside his mind. 

'No need to apologize, Vali. You tried your best…' Albion said and that was the last thing Vali heard before he was engulfed by the energy beams and his whole world turned completely black… 

[Sitri Mansion, Kuoh Town] 

Yachiru was torment… *ahem*training Sona and her Peerage as usual while sipping tea with a gentle and kind smile on her face. All of a sudden, Ddraig in human form teleported inside the room with a charred lump of flesh flung over his shoulder. Yachiru furrowed her brows and placed her teacup on the table. 

"Heal him" That was all Ddraig said, but for whatever reason, Ddraig had a shit-eating grin on his face. 

"Take him to be infirmary, I will be there in a moment" Yachiru said and once again Ddraig was gone after giving her an understanding nod. Yachiru then turned towards her vict *ahem* students. "All of you keep training, I need to save someone's life" Yachiru said. Sona and her Peerage members nodded their heads in understanding even though they were barely holding up. 

Moments later, Yachiru dissolved into red mist… 

[Royal Palace, DXD Asgard] 

"So, what do you think of my offer?" Hela questioned with a grin as she leaned back in her seat and place her feet on the table. 

"What you are proposing is not an alliance" Odin spat out while gritting his teeth. Hela grinned and shrugged dismissively. 

"Alliances can only be formed between two equal parties… we have already established the fact that we aren't equal. Still, I offered you an alliance, am I not being magnanimous to you?" Hela cooed softly in a mocking tone. 

Odin barely held himself back from slapping the woman, but he knew doing that would start the Ragnarok. Hela's offer of an alliance was basically, 'I will allow you to keep your throne, but you will be following my orders' and she said that with a straight face.

Odin simply couldn't believe the audacity of the woman. She even told him to spread the news and get rid of all the opposition by the end of the Rating Games Tournament. If he could do that, then she would allow him to keep his throne. At first, Odin thought the woman was probably joking and she had a really bad sense of humour. 

So, he looked towards Grayfia to get the confirmation only to find that Grayfia had a strained smile marring her face. Only after that, Odin and Loki realized that Hela was completely serious. He had heard from Azazel that Hela had given him two options, either surrender or die. Looks like he was in a similar situation right now. 

"That is not an alliance! It is Servitude! Loki spat out in disdain. His eyes were radiating utmost hatred and loathing. Hela simply grinned at his expression, she wasn't even bothered in the slightest. They would surrender if they know what is good for them and if they decide to fight… Hela would never say no to a War. 

"So?" Hela questioned, looking like nothing was wrong. "Well, anyway, since I am magnanimous, I will let you have some time to think. The future of Asgard depends on your decision, you must think this through. Oh… and if you decide to deny my offer of alliance then I will have to show you the error of your ways" Hela said with a mocking grin and stood up. 

"Come on, Grayfia. Prepare the Teleportation Circle" Hela ordered and Grayfia was already working on a Teleportation Circle. Both Odin and Loki continued to glare at Hela. Grayfia was finally done with the Teleportation Circle after a minute. 

Hela gave her a nod and Grayfia finally activated the Teleportation Circle, Hela waved at Odin and Loki with a charming smile on her face and moments later, both Hela and Grayfia were gone with a silver flash…
