"You're not getting away, Vali!!!"
She turned at the last second, just in time for Issei to slam into her full force. His boosted fist came crashing down.
"RAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
BANG!!
His punch landed dead-center in her stomach, right in the gut—and with all the boosted might behind it, it shattered her armor like brittle glass.
"GAAAHHH!!"
Chunks of her destroyed armor rained down like shrapnel as Vali plummeted from the sky, her body spiraling toward the ground.
"Eat this, bitch!!!"
Still midair, Issei charged up the most powerful blast he could muster—his signature Dragon Shot, now boosted beyond all limits.
Then, with a roar, he fired it straight at the falling Vali.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The explosion ripped through the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and dirt. The ground shook. And when the smoke finally cleared… a massive crater sat where Vali had landed—right at the center of it, her battered body lay motionless.
"Hah… hah… D-Did I get her!?"
Just like Azazel warned, the Balance Breaker form chewed through both magic and stamina like a ravenous beast. Issei felt like collapsing right there. Every muscle screamed, every breath burned.
Vali wasn't moving. Not even a twitch. She was completely out cold… or so it seemed.
Relieved, Issei exhaled deeply and began descending into the crater to secure her unconscious body.
But then—
"...Hehe."
The quiet, smug chuckle made him freeze in midair.
"Hehehe… Ahahahaha!"
With an eerie laugh full of twisted delight, Vali suddenly sprang back to life like a horror flick monster. Her eyes lit up with ecstasy.
"Wonderful! Absolutely amazing, Issei-kun! I didn't think you could push me this far in your current state!"
'What the hell is wrong with this lunatic?' She was grinning like she was having the time of her life, even after eating a full-powered Dragon Shot to the gut. It pissed Issei off.
"What the hell's so funny, you psycho!?"
[Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost!!]
Fueled by rage, Issei charged forward with a flurry of empowered punches.
But then—
[Divide!!]
A robotic voice echoed from Vali's jewel, the Sacred Gear of the White Dragon Emperor. Immediately, Issei felt the power drain from his body like someone pulled the plug.
"Gah—!?"
In that moment of shock, Vali spun and nailed him with a spinning kick to the ribs, sending Issei flying. The impact was brutal, it felt like getting hit by a truck.
"Damn it! What the hell was that!?"
"Careful, partner. That's her ability—Divide."
Divide!? That meant… the exact opposite of Issei's power!?
"Exactly. She Halves the power of her opponent. I can reamplify what she drains from you—but only later. The catch is, any energy she halves during combat… she adds to her own. That kick just now? That was your power, hitting you back."
'Shit… So that's how she was playing it.' Issei thought, but time wasn't on his side, he couldn't afford to hesitate.
"You little bitch—!!"
[Boost Boost Boost Boost]
"My my, how rude of you~! I'm a lady, you know?"
[Divide]
The two clashed in the air, fists and kicks flying with brutal speed. But no matter how much Issei kept boosting, Vali's Divide nullified him with ease.
It was infuriating; he was giving it everything, and she was just smirking through it all.
"Partner! Time's almost up!!"
Ddraig's warning rang out, but Issei's fists still couldn't reach her. And then—
[Time Over]
The words cut through him like a blade. The gem on his gauntlet flickered, and his crimson armor shattered into radiant red particles. The ring Azazel had given him crumbled into dust, and with it, his forbidden form was gone.
A crushing wave of exhaustion swept over him. His knees buckled. His body gave out, slumping forward as he gasped for air.
"Well, what a pitiful little ending," Vali teased with a devilish grin.
"But I have to admit—you were quite fun, Issei-kun."
She raised her hand in a deadly arc, fingers poised into a sharp, focused blade. Her hand sliced downward, aimed right at his skull.
And Issei… couldn't move. His body refused to listen. He was paralyzed.
'Fuck… Is this it…!?'
The descending hand moved in slow motion. Time crawled.
Then, everything turned red.
GIIIIIIIIIIIN!!
A blinding flash. Steel against steel.
"Giving up? That's not like you, Issei."
"Wha—Kazuki-senpai!?"
Standing tall in front of him, back like a shield, was the armored figure of Guyver Kazuki Fuwa—his High-Frequency Blade crackling with energy, locked against Vali's attack.
'Made it just in time,' He thought.
Summoned through the magic circle, Issei had taken off after the White Dragon Empress, Vali, and dove headfirst into the fight after activating his Balance Breaker. That alone had caught Kazuki off guard.
Apparently, because Kazuki had wiped the floor with Katerea a bit too quickly, the entire timeline had shifted, and now things were spinning out of control.
He had watched it all: crimson and white colliding in a violent, beautiful mess of power and pride.
But little by little, Vali started gaining the upper hand. And when Issei's time limit ran out, his armor crumbled, leaving him bare—completely exposed right in front of that white-armored psycho beauty.
So Kazuki didn't hesitate. He moved between them and blocked the killing blow.
"Heh... Today just keeps getting better," Vali said with a sultry smile, her bloodlust barely hidden.
"Not only do I get to fight the Red Dragon Emperor… but the Guyver boy, too!"
"You've betrayed us, haven't you, Vali?"
"Of course I have. What I crave is combat—raw, carnal, chaotic battle. A peaceful world with no war, no struggle? That kind of life would drive me insane!" she practically moaned.
"That's why I joined the Khaos Brigade—to chase the thrill of true power!"
'Fucking battle junkie… Fine then~!' Kazuki thought if that's what she wanted, he'd give it to her, with no mercy.
Kazuki took his stance in silence. Vali, sensing the shift in energy, fell quiet and mirrored him. Their eyes locked—his through the opaque Guyver mask, hers gleaming behind her white helmet.
Then they moved…
