"I am the Goddess of the Moon and Hunts, you who is so foolish to have wronged me shall suffer the greatest punishment I can muster. Now stand and bear witness to my wrath, I call upon you…the Boar of Divine Punishment!" shouted Artemis from within the swirling blue mist.
'Ddriag Boost my power!' ordered Issei as he leapt out of the mist and saw it beginning to from a scarily familiar shape.
[Partner I can't, if I Boost it anymore your body will tear itself apart!]
'I know Ddriag, in fact I'm counting on it,' smirked Issei as the gems in Boosted Gear began glowing a bright green. Ddriag was silent until the teen heard another sigh and got the impression that the dragon was shaking his head at him.
[Alright partner, you clearly have some kind of ridiculous plan cooked up. Now let's show this Boar who the real monster is.]
[BOOST!]
Instantly Issei screamed as he felt pain erupting throughout his body, it felt like every organ, every nerve, every cell, was being ripped to shreds. 'Just a bit longer,' grunted out the teen as the mist finally vanished to reveal a sight Issei would remember for the rest of his life.
Standing before him was a massive black boar, easily the size of most skyscrapers, glaring down at the human with a snarl on its face. "Behold the Boar that sacked the city of Calydon, the Calydonian Boar!" shouted Artemis as she looked down at the human from the top of the Divine Beast's head.
"How many lives does your pathetic copy of Herakles power have left human?! Because I'm going to take all of them!" she gloated, arrogantly.
[BOOST!]
Whatever witty retort Issei had planned for her died unspoken as he screamed in horrific pain again, the Goddess watching in amusement as he fell to his knees, struggling to maintain his consciousness. "Hah foolish human you are doing my job for me!" laughed Artemis as she saw Issei struggle to look up at her and frowned as she saw that, despite the pain, there was a smirk on his face.
'I win,' mouthed Issei to the Goddess as blood began pouring from his eyes and mouth, the teen then collapsed to the ground and Artemis watched as the human's body grew still.
Artemis frowned as she stared at the dead body of the human, waiting to see if it would be resurrected for a third time, all the while her mind was racing. 'What did he mean by that? How does dying secure him victory?'
Suddenly her eyes widened as she realized just how much of an error she'd made, while the shield and resurrection provided by God's Hand were powerful in their own rights…it was the last function that made it near unbeatable. If he had copied the first two functions of God's Hand, then it made sense that he had the third as well.
'Which means that when he died just then, what he gained an immunity to was Boosted Gear…' she realized, and drops of sweat began to drip down her back as she saw Issei's body start twitching.
After all, the reason Boosted Gear always fell short of living up to its potential was that its hosts could not handle the Sacred Gear's strength…but if there was a host immune to it's effects, the level of power they could reach was limitless. 'My only chance for victory is to kill him before he can Boost to unbeatable levels, I need to end this quickly,' she decided as Issei got up from the ground and smirked at her, his Sacred Gear glowing once again.
[BOOST!]
"Damn it! Kill him now!" she ordered the gigantic boar, before the Divine Beast bellowed a war cry and charged at the human.
Issei watched as the Boar rapidly approached him and jumped as high as he could with his enhanced strength and agility, easily clearing the height of the boar as it passed underneath him and landing on the beast's head, right next to the Goddess.
Artemis' sixth sense and experience was the only thing that kept her head attached as she ducked under a blur coming towards her neck and she retreated to the other end of the boar. 'He's even faster and stronger than I am, not good,' she realized through gritted teeth.
The Goddess then blinked as she saw the teen and frowned as she took note of the changes to his body, the human's skin had completely turned to a grey colour and his hair had seemed to grow. 'He almost looks like…no that's not possible,' she decided before readying another arrow as the teen became a grey blur.
Issei suddenly appeared behind her, his axe-sword slamming against her bow and knocking the weapon from her grasp from the strength behind the blow. However, she was still a God and far from powerless as Artemis didn't even flinch at the loss of her weapon and instead swept the legs out from under Issei as she used her skill in pankration to her advantage and quickly disarmed her opponent.
But she wasn't the only one who knew pankration, the greatest hero of the Greeks had long applied himself to the practice of Greek Martial Arts to an even greater extend then any God had before him. Therefore, Issei was able to recover quickly as he landed in a handstand and sent a spinning kick into the shocked Goddess, whom stumbled before she felt a hand grab her hair and pull her head down into an incoming uppercut to the jaw.
"Nine Lives: The Shooting of the Hundred Heads!" called Issei and suddenly instead of one uppercut hitting her, Artemis felt nine strike her so quickly that if she didn't have enhanced reflexes she would have thought that it was at the same time.
Reeling from the blows to her head Artemis could do nothing as Issei placed a foot over her own before tilting her leg until the Goddess' balance was broken and she was knocked prone. Instantly Issei was upon the Goddess as he used his now superior strength to trap her in a chokehold, and suddenly Artemis found herself struggling to breathe.
Realizing its master was in danger the boar started shaking itself like a dog, knocking Issei off its back while Artemis grabbed a handful of its fur and clung to her Divine Beast as it rushed towards the human's downed form. The human growled in frustration as he rolled to dodge the gigantic hoof that crushed the spot he'd vacated seconds ago, only for an arrow to strike his skin and bounce off. The teen's God's Hand coming into effect as it had developed an immunity to the Goddess' bow.
"Tristar Amore Mio," shouted Artemis as she sent another blinding white arrow into Issei, only to see the white projectile shatter upon contact with Issei's skin.
"N-no way, when did he gain an immunity to…" muttered Artemis at the sight of one of her most powerful attacks being reduced to nothing before she remembered back to the start of the fight.
"Orion would be so disappointed in you…" smirked the human.
Artemis trembled in rage as she glared at him, "you dare to mention him…you're dead HUMAN!
"Do you know what a vaccination is Artemis?" grinned Issei in relief as he remembered the pain of her arrows and most of all her attack Tristar Amore Mio. "Still it was worth it, now ready or not. HERE I COME!"
The teen then disappeared as the boar rampaged towards him, only to reappear above them again with his axe-sword back in his hand. Eyes widening Artemis rolled back to a safe distance even as Issei sent a powerful punch to where her head had been moments before, the two fighters then had to struggle to maintain their footing as the boar beneath them gave a pained cry and started thrashing.
[BOOST!]
