Chapter 82: The Shadow’s Challenge & The Return of the Rizz King

  The atmosphere was thick with tension. Zeref stood before Issei, the dark energy radiating from him like a swirling void of destruction. The air itself felt heavier. The world was watching.

  Issei took a deep breath. “Bro, you really don’t quit, huh?”

  Zeref smirked, his crimson eyes narrowing. “I don’t need to. Power like yours doesn’t belong to someone like you.”

  Gray, standing at Issei’s side, cracked his knuckles. “That’s funny, coming from the dude who lost last time.”

  Zoro unsheathed his swords, resting them on his shoulder. “Let’s just cut this guy down already. We got more important things to do—like drinking and training.”

  Issei, ever the king of confidence, rolled his shoulders. “Damn right. And I got oppai to get back to, so let’s hurry this up.”

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  But just before the fight could begin—

  “ISSEI-SAMAAA~”

  A blur of pink and white came crashing into Issei, knocking him off balance. Softness. Warmth. The unmistakable feel of prime-grade oppai smothering his face.

  “M-Melina?!” Issei choked out, his face turning red as the fox-girl priestess clung to him like a koala.

  “Waaahhh! I missed you so much! I thought you’d never come back!” Melina cried, pressing herself closer, making sure to emphasize her opulent, divine-grade oppai in the process.

  The entire battlefield went silent.

  Zoro sighed, rubbing his temples. “This guy’s got no sense of priority.”

  Rias & Akeno, standing a few steps back, exchanged knowing glances. Rias crossed her arms, tapping her foot. “Looks like some things never change.”

  Nyx, the dark sorceress, raised an eyebrow. “You really do have a gravitational pull for women.”

  Issei, now completely flustered, tried to pry Melina off him. “H-Hey, now’s not the time for this!”

  “There’s always time for oppai~” Akeno teased, giggling.

  Zeref, watching all of this unfold, was absolutely dumbfounded.

  “…Are we fighting or WHAT?!” He snapped, visibly irritated.

  Issei sighed, finally getting Melina to let go. “Alright, alright. I get it. We’ll handle this after I deal with emo-boy here.”

  Zeref’s eye twitched. “You absolute degenerate.”

  “Damn right I am.” Issei grinned. “Now, let’s go.”
