## Summary

After finally locating the location of the missing Agreas, Team DxD moved to finally put an end to Rizevim Livan Lucifer, with Issei Hyoduou and Vali Lucifer (the Two Heavenly Dragon) being the most determined to defeat him due to the pain he caused to both of them.

## Prelude

Following the disappearance of the Phenex siblings (Ravel and Riser Phenex) during their Rating Game against Diehauser Belial, Team DxD began to search for them. Ajuka Beelzebub called them over to his personal dimension to entrust them the recovered Ravel and reveal the existence of the King Piece, as well as the corruption that occurred in the Rating Games and the Champions' defection to Qlippoth. After explaining, Ajuka received a call from his personal hotline, informing him that Ophis had been attacked by a Evil Dragon. Returning to the Hyoudou Residence, the members of DxD witnessed Ophis' beaten form, which angered Issei as he exploded with rage after finding out his parents had been kidnapped. Kuroka and Le Fay later returned to the Hyoudou Residence, telling the members of DxD that the Vali Team had located Agreas's location.

## History

Teleporting to Agreas the main force arrived at the west side of the city’s central plaza, with the diversionary unit rampaging to allow the main force to move forward, with Tobio Ikuse moving to support the main force in secret as Azazel began looking for the power generator room.  The main force arrived at the Agreas’ Government Office, where their arrival was met by Niðhöggr and a large number of mass-produced Evil Dragons. Issei transformed into his Crimson armor and began to pummel Niðhöggr as Rias urged Issei to use their combination technique as she want to fight against Niðhöggr too. Issei equipped Rias with red Wyverns, which took the form of a Scale Mail-like Dragon Armor; **Crimson Extinct Dragonar**. Issei and Rias began to overwhelm Niðhöggr with punches and magic, though Niðhöggr healed his wounds with the use of Phenex Tears. Crom Cruach appeared and attacked Niðhöggr, due to him being the one to injure Ophis. Crom Cruach transformed into his dragon form as he began to easily overpower Niðhöggr, with Niðhöggr crying due to fear. Rias then told Issei and Asia to leave the current fight to the rest of the Occult Research Club and go save Issei's parents as their son and daughter.

Taking Asia and running up to the top of the Government Office, Issei and Asia witnessed the Champion's live broadcast which revealed the corruption in the Rating Games and the King Piece's existence. Reaching the top, Issei encountered the Champion and Rizevim, telling Rizevim to return his parents. Vali flew into the room, telling Rizevim he was cornered as Rizevim transported Issei's parents to the observation room in order to reveal Issei's identity as a Devil to them.

Issei and Vali teamed up to fight Diehauser and Rizevim, with Issei facing Diehauser and Vali facing Rizevim. Vali tried to punch Rizevim with a aura coated fist but Rizevim counterattacked with a fist imbued with demonic energy, shattering Vali's armor. Issei faced off against the Champion as he used Boost to enhance the power of his fist though Diehauser dodged Issei's fist and touched it, using his Worthless ability to nullify the enhanced aura. Issei continued to attack but all of his attacks were dodged and nullified by Diehauser's *Worthless* ability. Rizevim urged Diehauser to use the Dragon blood that Rizevim had given him, as he forced Issei to drink it, forcing Issei to dragonify against his will. Rizevim taunted Issei by telling his parents that Issei was a Dragon impostor who had usurped their son's identity as he had intended to break Issei's will by having his parents reject him.

Issei's parents, while initially frightened by Issei's dragonified form were able to tell that Issei was their son due to his habit of apologizing. Issei subconsciously used Pailingual, revealing his parents's feelings of parental love for him as he asked them if he could keep being their child, to which they agreed to as he thanked them. Due to the intense surge of feelings, Issei's Sacred Gear was empowered, as it released a red glow from his armor jewels. Issei charged forward to attack Rizevim, but the Champion would invalidate Issei's attacks as Rizevim would counterattack, though Issei did not give up and kept going due to being strengthened by the feelings for his family. Realizing that Issei was drawing power through the bond with his family, Rizevim attempted to kill them but his attacks were scattered due to Asia's Balance Breaker, **Twilight Saint Affection**, which she had attained due to her desire to protect her family. Ophis telepathically contacted Issei, telling him that she was satisfied and to sing with her. Issei chanted a forbidden chant, as he unlocked his **Diabolos Dragon** form. Using it, Issei punched Rizevim, who was shocked that his *Sacred Gear Canceler* didn't invalidate Issei's power. Ddraig explained that Rizevim's *Sacred Gear Canceler* was limited and that due to Ophis' power of infinity, Issei was able to overcome the limit of the *Sacred Gear Canceler*. After observing Issei's state, Rizevim realized that the form was unstable as he tried to use Phenex Tears to heal himself, though Diehauser revealed that he had invalidated them with his Worthless ability, angering Rizevim. Issei and Rizevim continued to fight as they flew out of the observation room as Rizevim tried to kill Issei with a massive blast of demonic power. Issei used *Infinity Blaster* to counter attack the blast of demonic power and severely injure Rizevim. Rizevim attempted escape with Vali chasing after him.

In the power generator room, Azazel attempted to get past Lilith to shut down the power generator. Rizevim arrived and Azazel gloated over Rizevim's defeat, with the two Evil Dragons (Apophis and Aži Dahāka) appearing to announce that they were betraying Rizevim and taking to Holy Grail with them, as they retrieved the Holy Grail from Rizevim's personal subspace as the two teleported away. Vali arrived and transformed into **Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive**, as he convinced Lilith to defect to their side and cut off Rizevim's arm. Before Vali could kill Rizevim, he stopped as he didn't want the pleasure of killing Rizevim without defeating him. Fafnir teleported to their location via Dragon Gate and bit Rizevim to death, killing him.

## Conclusion

After Team DxD's victory over Rizevim Livan Lucifer at Agreas, it seemed that Qlippoth was defeated and the release of the 666 (Trihexa) was thwarted. However, a recording of Rizevim revealed in the case of his death, his soul would be used the power source to awaken Trihexa. As Trihexa awakened, the two Evil Dragons, Apophis an Aži Dahāka, issued a challenge to Team DxD as they told Team DxD that they would face other in a fight to the death, with them telling Vali to bring Issei with him, marking the beginning of the Evil Dragon War.

Due to backlash of using his newly awakened Diabolos Dragon form, Issei fell into a coma and was taken to the Serafall Memorial Hospital to be treated.

Diehauser Belial was taken into custody and found guilty of assisting Qlippoth, being sentenced to prison for aiding Rizevim in stealing Agreas.

As a result of the truth of the corruption in the professional Rating Games being revealed to the public, the Great King faction had lost the trust of the populace as riots broke out in the Underworld.
