Chapter 66 : Ultimate-Class Devils

She may be a sweet and gentle girl when not fighting, but when push comes to shove, she was like a force of nature that wreaked chaos everywhere she went.

She still remembered what Grayfia told her about what happened to a battalion of High-Class and Ultimate-Class Devils that murdered their father.

Though Grayfia was barely subdued when she heard it. Lucy had not so much restrained as she utterly destroyed and dissembled all of them piece by piece from the pure rage that she held for them.

Then Grayfia's and Lucy's brother died on the last day of battle by Sirzechs hands, it made Lucy desolate so much so that even Grayfia had a hard time with her.

Though looking at her now, it looked like she finally found her reason to live as she stood side by side with the Red Dragon Emperor.

Though that didn't stop Venelana from getting her answers. If she had to fight Lucy and Issei then she would.

Seeing that Venelana would fight them if necessary and that Lucy and Issei had each others back and were ready to fight back. Grayfia decided to tell her before a fight would ensue.

"Mother in law, I know that you are angry that something might happen to Rias, but you don't have to worry. Other than her pride nothing is amiss as Issei stopped Lucy before she could do anything to her."

"And are you certain in that Grayfia?" Venelana asked as she decreased her power at the mentioned that Rias was fine.

"It's simple, I was present when Lucy was insulted and attacked. As I said, if Issei wasn't there, we would have to glue Rias back together piece by piece.

I tried to warn Rias that Lucy was someone that was way above her league, though she didn't listen and Lucy had to show it, though she only made her peerage incapable of fighting."

Grayfia answered again while others sighed in relief that the danger was gone.

"If that's the case, then I owe you both an apology." Venelana spoke as she knew she could trust Grayfia.

She saw her as a daughter and if Grayfia says that the two of them are innocent then it was very possible. Though that begged another question.

"Though now that you mention it. Why didn't you, Red Dragon Emperor, stop Lucy and protect your master from her in the first place and only stepped up when she was about to attack her?" Venelana asked wanting to know.

But unlike how Rias want's to know an answer, Venelana clearly showed a more polite and smoothing approach unlike the red haired heiress.

"Since you asked nicely and not how Rias asked I will tell you. Though know this in advance, it was because Grayfia and Lucy that I went to that party and saved Rias from Riser."

Issei replied in a polite tone. As he said his story, though this time, Elsha decided to also speak letting them know that she was, along with Ddraig, were a contributing factor to Issei's win.

Her voice was full of power but also gentle as she told them that Issei was willing to sacrifice everything so he could get a shot of being a victor and that he would finally start the road to freedom.

Hearing the explanation from the 2nd Strongest Booster Gear possessor made Lucy along with everyone get wide eyes as they looked at Issei who closed his eyes and have a pout on his face as Elsha laughs at his misfortune.

(While there isn't any way to change Issei back from being a dragon/devil hybrid. That was necessary for Issei to attain his Balance-Breaker. It is unknown to everyone that for the chance to have that legendary move you have to give Ddraig a part of your body.

Though since Ddraig is reasonable and he is against taking anything extreme, like heart or anything, when the decision is made by the host he always asks for the left hand where the gear is. So don't worry Lucy Hyoudou, or Murayama, Katase and even you Chelsea.

He will still be the same Issei, though he would have a more dragon like feeling, his aura will be stronger as well as a track both allies and enemies. Speaking of enemy's, Rias had attained a very very wrong enemy.

Venelana Gremory, thank anyone you could think for Issei not killing her the moment he found about what happened.) Elsha explained to them getting them to nod in understanding.

Though that didn't stop Lucy from hugging him tightly while putting her head on his shoulder to let him know that she would be still by his side. Though, no one except Grayfia heard what Elsha called Lucy and it made her happy.

With a heavy sigh, Issei nodded his head at Elsha's words. "What she just said was true.

I did sacrifice my left arm so that I can beat him. Though I don't think that this will affect you all to much. I'm still the same Issei."

"While I can't say for others. I'm surprised, but hearing the explanation from Elsha, it looks like you didn't have a choice in the matter.

As you can only improve so much before you will just start standing in place."

Lucy answered him honestly that made Issei smile before he turned his head to look at the girls behind him seeing that all of them nodded in understanding.

"What Lucy told is right, even if you make your power rival any High-Class in your base form you could only do so much, but when someone with a higher power comes along you will be a sitting duck as he would destroy you.

So if doing that, secures the safety of others than it's all good." Grayfia told him as she smiled at him.

Murayama, Katase and Chelsea just nodded to their words also having a smile on their face as they knew why he did that.
