Upon hearing this Artemis' face gained another fearful expression as she tried to comprehend just how much power was now coursing through the teen's body, only for her nanosecond distraction to cost her a red clad fist to the face. The Goddess was then sent flying off the boar's back and cried out in pain as her body hit the ground, hearing bones breaking in her body.
Realizing that it's master was no longer on its back the Calydonian Boar began thrashing even more wildly as it tried to remove the insect off its back, Issei just stabbed his axe-sword into the beast's flesh and held on for dear life. The boar cried out in pain as it felt the blow before snorting as started rolling onto its back, trying to crush its prey beneath it.
Issei quickly removed the axe-sword from the beasts' flesh as he leapt off it and stood in between the boar and the outskirts of Kuoh, watching as both the boar and Artemis got back to their feet. Seeing the town beyond the teen Artemis gained a smile as she slowly pointed at the teen without a word, the Calydonian Boar then roared and the earth began shaking as it stampeded towards him with it eyes now glowing with madness.
"Nothing, not even I can stop the Boar after it has begun to rampage. So hero what will you chose? Attempt to kill it or simply let it rampage? I wonder, what would happen to your precious town if you did that though?" smirked the Goddess, seeing the teen look behind him at Kuoh with horror.
For his part Issei stared at the stampeding boar with horrified expression as he realized what Artemis had just done, he wasn't going to let the Boar destroy Kuoh. 'Should I Install Archer? No, there's no time. DAMN IT!' raged Issei before he placed himself between the town and the raging Divine Beast.
"You fool, once the boar has reached this level of power no one can stop it," laughed Artemis, whom was ignored as Issei braced himself for the approaching onslaught.
[BOOST!]
And so the clash of Titans began as the Boar crashed into Issei whom barely avoided being gouged by its tusks as he gripped nose of the beast and struggle to push against it. The ground beneath the teen cracked as the human was forced to give ground before the weight and momentum of the gigantic boar, his feet creating groves in the earth as he was continued to be pushed back.
Nevertheless, Artemis frowned as she saw the Calydonian Boar's progress begin to be slowed down and a tiny bit of worry started to grow before she pushed it aside. "Just give up human," she sighed.
"No! Not with Herakles helping me! I will protect my family! And this damned pig is not going to stop me!" shouted Issei, and suddenly the Boar stopped as the two reached a stalemate.
"No that's not possible," gasped Artemis in shock.
A grin spread across Issei's face, "don't you know? Herakles makes it a habit of doing the impossible."
The Goddess then watched in shocked horror as Issei began pushing the boar back a step, then two, then four, and suddenly the tables had turned as the Divine Beast roared in frustration as for the first time in its life, it was being overpowered. Artemis then swore she could see a familiar massive grey giant appear behind Issei and smile at the human before they both roared in unison.
"▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅" they cried and Artemis couldn't believe her eyes as she saw the human actually lift the gigantic boar off the ground!
Unable to speak through her shock Artemis just watched at the boar was thrown into the air, looking like a meteor as it began to descend back towards the ground. Watching the falling boar, Issei then braced himself as he pulled his gauntlet covered arm back as if to punch something before a small ball of green light appeared in front of his fist.
The Goddess could only watch as the green ball suddenly grew exponentially and winds began whipping around them both as the massive amount of power that had been coursing through Issei's body was transferred into the attack.
"Dragon Shot!"
And the world disappeared in green light.
All Artemis could see before she was blinded was a huge beam of green light shoot out of the ball of energy as Issei punched it before it enveloped the Calydonian Boar and she heard a squeal of pain followed be silence. No sound of the boar impacting the ground or even the sounds of the nearby animals panicking, just dead silence.
When her eyesight finally recovered she gasped as she saw no trace of the boar to be found, almost has if it had been disintegrated from the force. Looking up at the sky she saw a massive hole in the storm clouds where the beam of green light had passed through it.
"Now what to do with you?" questioned Issei as she spun to see him approaching her.
The Goddess said nothing, still in shock at how the battle had gone, the Calydonian Boar, the strongest Divine Beast at her disposal and in fact one of the strongest of the Greek Pantheon had just be wiped out. Suddenly Issei grabbed her by the neck and she was forced to look at him in the eyes.
"I should kill you, but I won't. Atalanta would be hurt if I did, I want you to know that. The only reason you live is because of the one who you insulted by calling an imposter," he frowned before dropping her to the ground.
"Better luck next time, sister," grinned Issei in a very familiar way and for a brief moment the giant returned as he lifted his fist up.
"Brother?" murmured Artemis as she stared at Issei before a fist slammed into her face and everything went black.
Issei yawned tiredly as he, Xenovia, Irina and Asia walked over to the ORC clubroom, everyone looking like zombies as they trudged through the school. "Are we really trusting the Devils after what they did?" questioned Irina, getting a nod from Xenovia.
The teen just sighed as this, "Irina I told you, Kiba was acting on his own, in fact he was likely being manipulated by our mystery organization."
"I don't know how the Church will take to involving them in this," muttered Xenovia.
"Just tell them I'm responsible for it, that should shut them up. Speaking of which, how did they react to the news about Arthur?" he asked, curiously.
"Not well, apparently the Pendragon family is taking a lot of flak for it," replied the blue haired exorcist before she frowned. "Are you sure we shouldn't have Scathach here helping?"
He shook his head, "as much as I'd like to have her help, we need her guarding Apollo and Artemis until Lugh can interrogate them. They're too dangerous to be left alone."
The group then opened the door to the ORC and shuffled in, Xenovia instantly summoning Durandal as she spotted all the Devils pointing weapons at them. "Stand down, all of you!" ordered Rias as she spotted them.
The Devils reluctantly followed her orders, although Sona's peerage didn't do so until they got a nod from their King. Issei frowned as he saw Le Fay and Kiba bound in separate corners of the room, 'so I was right, she was involved.'
"Sorry Issei, after seeing that massive battle last night we've been a bit on edge," explained Rias.
"Indeed the Sekiryuutei is pretty impressive isn't he?" muttered Xenvoia, getting shocked looks from everyone.
"That was the Sekiryuutei?! Wait, you've met him!" shouted Sona.
Xenovia's only response was to give a knowing smirk before she sealed Durandal back into its pocket dimension, causing Sona to growl angrily.
[Partner, you release that now that she knows it won't be long before the Church and by extension everyone in the Three Factions finds out about you.]
'I'll talk to her about it, maybe I can convince her to keep it a secret from her superiors,' sighed Issei. The sound of Rias clearing her throat caught his attention as the Gremory heiress and her peerage bowed before him, "please accept my most deepest apologizes for what happened to Kiba, Issei. I can assure you he was not acting under my orders."
"Then what was he doing interfering with our mission?" growled Xenovia.
Rias and the others sighed as Kiba spoke up, explaining what Le Fay had done as well as his own hatred for the Excaliburs and the Holy Sword Project. Both the exorcists seemed surprised at the revelation that he was a survivor of that accursed experiment.
"So let me get this straight, you attacked us because Le Fay convinced you that I was a descendant of King Arthur?" sighed Issei, pinching the bridge of his nose.
[It seems that the universe isn't without a sense of humor, right partner?]
'Mordred's being quiet, I expected her to rage about now. Especially after hearing how her father's sword was used in such horrible experiments,' mused the teen as he saw the bound Kiba looking at him with an ashamed expression.
[With her current depression, I doubt she's even listening anymore. Good reddens, although I wouldn't count on being able to use the Saber card.]
Issei frowned upon hearing this, remembering the deep sadness that had briefly overwhelmed him when Caliburn rejected him. 'Maybe, she'll snap out of it,' he thought with a shrug as he tuned back in to the conversation.
"I think th
e punishment should be up to Issei, he did try to kill him," pointed out Irina with a frown.
