Chapter 2: Escape
Third Person POV
Issei: 'Ddraig... We've been Isekai'd into another world'
Ddraig: ['we've been what now? What is Isekai'd?']
Issei sweatdropped, he forgot that Ddraig has been sealed into many other hosts in different periods of time so he probably wouldn't know about the changes that the world has been through. How Issei knows this is because he believes he recalled Ddraig saying something like "so this is my new host" or something along those lines, the boy wasn't really paying attention.
Besides, the dude came to him in a dream and nearly traumatized Issei by putting him in a literal inferno. So as the saying goes, the ends justify the means. Issei hopes that is correct because he doesn't want to be proven wrong, especially since he was in a very bad situation right now.
He had been Isekai'd into another world, one full of magic and whatnot because that is normally how the story goes in those types of anime/manga/light novels. If that is true, then he must have been brought to the other world for a reason, what that reason was is currently unknown.
Issei hopes that he doesn't have to kill the Demon King or whatever, he wasn't in the mood to go on some sort of quote-on-quote "epic" quest where everyone learns about friendship and becomes friends.
Like, why the hell is the power of friendship even a thing? Like what the fuck? Why was it even made, it's pretty much useless.
Issei: 'Well, Ddraig. An Isekai is a-'
Ddraig: ['You know what, tell me about it later because we have more important things to worry about']
Issei had to admit, Ddraig had a very valid point right there. They did have more important things to worry about such as the White-haired woman before him, who was actually giving him devil or demon-like vibes and he had to admit her appearance was also giving him vibes.
Maybe it was because of her red eyes which shined like rubies or he was just thinking of something entirely different, but he had to say that the woman before him almost resembled something out of a video game, like Devil May Cry but if they made the demons more human-like in appearance and not... whatever they currently were.
She was like both Rias and Akeno, they were mature but they had appearances that made them look young or the same age as Issei. The brown-haired boy would bet his life that the woman before him was at least hundreds of years old like she was a demon so she had to have a long life span.
As he stared at the woman, he noticed something resting on his stomach and it was none other than the Golden Ring that he saw before.
Issei: 'That ring...'
The white-haired woman turned to the old woman with the staff, an unhappy expression slapped across her face.
???: "High Priest, is he really the one that The Prophecies speak of?"
Hearing that gained Issei's attention, Prophecies? What Prophecies was she talking about?
High Priest: "The Legends say that the one that wields the magic ring which is like the Queen's is the chosen one"
Magic Ring...
Issei's eyes widen as his gaze moved down to the Ring that was on his stomach, that ring was magical which should have been obvious since it was most likely the reason he showed up in this new world.
But after hearing what this high priest just said, him the chosen one? Yeah, Issei wasn't so sure about that for numerous reasons.
First of all, sure he knew had the power of the Red Dragon Emperor which from what he could remember was ONE of the most powerful Sacred Gears in his world... but he was still getting used to it. Like, it took the boy ten whole days to even be able to do some damage to a mountain before he reached his limit.
Second, Issei was already involved with the supernatural world in the form of being the [Pawn] of Rias Gremory, who he needs to get back to right away or else he'll be labeled as a Stray Devil. If that happens then he knew for sure that some rouge Fallen Angels or Stray devils would go over those he cared for such as his parents and friends.
He hopes that this High Priest is able to send him back home, but seeing how regular Isekai go... he didn't have high hopes.
Issei: "You're talking about this aren't you?"
Both the white-haired woman and the High Priest watched as Issei picked up the golden ring that laid on his stomach and showed them.
Woman: "That's right, that's the magic ring!"
She then held up one of her hands to reveal that she had an identical one, though hers was sitting comfortably on her... wedding finger.
Woman: "It's identical to mine!"
The woman then grabbed the brown-haired boy by his shirt and brought him slightly close to her face.
Woman: "If you're the chosen one, why do I not feel a drop of magic on you? And you're part of the human tribe too!"
No magic.
Human tribe.
Hearing that confused Issei, she couldn't sense Ddraig's power or that he wasn't human. That was very strange, but he has to remember that he wasn't in his world anymore which meant that there different kinds of magic and things. That could be a good thing now that Issei thought about it, a trump card to keep secret.
He wasn't human so he possessed a stronger body than a regular human, but this world could have people who were also stronger than a regular human. Issei can't be cocky, this was a situation that needed him to be calm, collected, and reasonable.
Although, what did she mean by why human tribe? He figured that there were multiple races within this new world, having tribes and whatnot. However, the way she said that word... sounded like something all too familiar to Issei.
Issei: "I-I don't understand what your talking about, the last thing I remember before I ended up here was falling in a black void and seeing a golden glow"
The woman narrowed her red eyes at Issei's words, she could tell that he wasn't lying... but he wasn't telling the truth either.
She let go of the boy and sighed in annoyance, looking at the High Priest.
Woman: "High Priest, is there something wrong with the summoning spell?"
She then pointed at Issei who brought himself to his feet, which was a terrible idea because...
Woman: "How did I end up summoning a useless human?"
Hearing that caused Issei to do an anime fallback, and she called him useless. Hell, even Ddraig felt offended by the white-haired woman's words because not only did she insult his partner... in a way it was like she was insulting him as well.
Ddraig: ['That bitch! How dare she insult me!']
Issei: 'She didn't though? She only called me usele-'
Ddraig: ['Anything that affects you also ends up affecting me!']
Issei: 'Wait, so you're saying if I gained a title like... Crimson Dragon, does that mean you're also the Crimson Dragon'
Ddraig: ['Yes, also That's not a bad title. I might keep that']
Issei sweatdropped, the name of something that appeared in an old TV show he used to watch, Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds.
High Priest: "The summoning spell was executed correctly, he is the one that will be saving the Demon Tribe from extinction"
Issei: "Um, what!? I gotta do what now!?"
All eyes were on Issei when he said that, the brown-haired boy had a surprised expression on his face.
Issei: "Can someone please help me out here and explain...WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?"
Woman: "Listen up garbage human!"
Issei: 'Yare Yare Daze...'
Isabella: "I'm the seventh descendant of the Demon Tribe, Isabella Osa"
Issei: 'So that's her name...'
Issei had to admit that he kinda liked her name, it had a nice ring to it. In fact, he doesn't believe that there is any Isabella's back in his world and he has quote-on-quote "met" nearly every single female in the entire town.
Isabella: "Today is the day I sign the peace treaty between demons and humans"
Issei was surprised, normally in an Isekai the demons and humans would always be a war with each other. But he guessed that this demon queen wanted the bloodshed to end, talk about a surprise. However, he feels like there was more to the story than meets the eye because if there was peace between the two tribes... they wouldn't have needed to summon Issei.
He continued to listen as Isabella explained that her high commander named "Lilian" and some human came to a secret agreement with each other. They planned on attacking the demon queen when she was unarmed, it wasn't known what weapon Lilian used on Isabella... but whatever it was apparently extracted a large portion of the Queen's magic.
This left the brown-haired boy completely shocked, why would Lilian want to betray her queen? She was a high commander? Issei may not possess great knowledge of military statuses but he was pretty sure that meant that Lilian was viewed highly by the demon tribe and the queen.
Why would she betray Isabella? What was her reason for doing so?
Power?
Status?
Revenge?
Issei narrowed his eyes, this was something that he'll have to worry about if he was brought to this world for that specific reason.
Isabella explained that she was lucky enough to have her four guards who would give their lives for the Demon Queen, earning Issei's respect because they reminded him of his friends back in his own world.
They would give their lives for their King, Rias Gremory. It was their duty as servants to assist and protect her at all costs.
Isabella: "The only reason why I survived was because of their sacrifices. There are only a few here that would be able to protect me"
Issei crossed his arms.
Issei: "Let me guess, Lilian, convinced your more powerful servants to join her?"
Isabella nodded her head.
Issei: "That isn't good, if you lost most of your magic then you'll have to go into hiding in a mountain or something"
Isabella: "Do you think those slimy humans will let me go like that?"
Issei still felt a little offended by her words because he was still technically human, even though he was half devil and had a dragon arm.
Guard 1: "They were chasing us earlier, that's why we ended up being surrounded here"
Guard 2: "The Queen had depended on the chosen one as the last resort, but we didn't know that you were useless shit!"
Issei heard Ddraig growling within his mind, he swore he could physically feel the dragon's blood pressure rising and he was pretty that was impossible because sure he didn't have a body anymore. He hoped that this wouldn't be a constant thing because the last thing Issei wants is Ddraig losing his temper and him getting a splitting headache from the aftermath.
Isabella: "Ah!"
Guard 3: "My queen are you alright?"
Issei looked over at Isabella, she looked like she was in pain or something. He doubts that it had to be something more... important. He watched as the white-haired demon queen gritted her teeth, sweat running down her face.
Isabella: "I-I can feel my aura disappearing..."
Her eyes widen as she suddenly started screaming in pain, unleashing a shockwave that nearly knocked Issei off his feet.

Issei: 'W-what the hell is happening!?'
Ddraig: ['It's her power, Partner. She's losing her power!']
Issei's eyes widen.
Issei: 'If she loses that then...'
Ddraig: ['She'll be defenseless against the humans...']
This wasn't good, definitely not a good thing. Issei watched as Isabella's outfit started to tear itself off the demon queen, causing her to lose her tail, her long ears, her horns, and also her clothes.
The brown-haired boy's face went bright red as he couldn't help but stare at the woman's exposed body, he thought that Rias and Akeno had an impressive pair of breasts. Without a doubt, Issei can clearly say that Isabella knocks both of them out of the water with her chest size.
Issei: 'Oh my god!'
Just then Issei felt pain in his head, making him grip his head.
Issei: 'Ow! What was that!?'
Ddraig: ['Your a devil, remember']
Issei: 'Oh, right...'
Isabella: "M-my body..."

Isabella: "Why has it changed to this?"
She used her arms to cover herself as best she could, turning her attention to the high priest.
Isabella: "High Priest, explain!"
Issei: 'Why do I feel like they are gonna blame me...'
High Priest: "It's probably because the Queen's aura has been depleted. This is probably why your body altered to this figure"
Isabella's eyes widen.
Isabella: "How am I supposed to present myself to my own people..."
The guards were shocked to hear this, one of which covered her mouth from the shock.
Guard 3: "Your majesty..."
Guard 1: "the queen extended her aura for us..."
The first soon grew an angered expression as she pointed at Issei.
Guard 1: "It's all because of this useless piece of trash, come sisters, let's end him!
If Issei could say that he called it, he could be screaming it right about now.
Issei: "Woah, Woah! I'm the victim here! I didn't want to be summoned to be this world!"
However, before the four guards could do anything to the brown-haired boy. The door of the building they were in burst open to reveal two people, both Heavenly injured from what Issei could tell.
Random: "The human tribe is about to penetrate our defenses! We ask that your majesty be escorted out of here!"
Isabella sighed in annoyance, putting on Issei's shirt that she stole from the brown-haired boy who was now standing in his boxers. The Pawn crossed his arms in annoyance, why did he have to get his clothes stolen? Couldn't they have taken some others clothes instead?
Isabella: "That was quick..."
Guard 1: "My queen, we will defend you with all we've got!"
Isabella smiled.
Isabella: "I'm so fortunate to have fighters like you that care for me so much!"
High Priest: "My queen, you look no different to an average human. This will make your escape easy, but you can't let the humans find out about your identity. I'll remain here to fend for these guards here, all so that we can buy time for you"
Isabella was shocked when she heard this, there was no way that she was just gonna leave her people to die.
Isabella: "I refuse! High Priest, no matter what, I will not leave my own people!"
The High Priest didn't say anything as she held out her staff, the gem on it glowed blue as a magic circle appeared around Isabella, Issei, and the four guards.
Isabella: "High Priest, this..."
She tried to stop her, but one of her guards prevented her.
Guard 3: "My majesty, don't go!"
Isabella: "High Priest!"
Issei slowly started to back away, he didn't want to get involved with any of this. This wasn't his problem, he had to find a way to go back home. But fate was cruel to the poor devil boy as one of the other guards grabbed him.
Guard 1: "Take this one with us!"
Guard 4: "Yeah, we can't let him run!"
Issei: "Hey let me go!"
The High Priest smiled at Isabella.
High Priest: "I've been here to aid five generations of leaders, this will be the last time... please allow me to be of service for the queen once more"
Isabella: "No!"
Years threatened to pour from the white-haired woman's eyes, but before she could do anything else... they all vanished in a bright blue light, leaving the High Priest the only one in the building.
Silence filled the room, but it was all soon taken away as an explosion occurred behind her which destroyed the massive door.
She turned her attention to the doorway as a man with several army soldiers walked through the dust clouds, weapons in hand and ready for combat. The man stared at the High Priest, a cold and serious expression in his eyes.

Man: "Where is the Queen?"
Meanwhile, far away from the castle on a small hill a bright blue light appeared followed by Isabella, Issei, and the four guards.
Guard 1: "Are we still surrounded by the human tribe?"
Guard 2" Look, that was the castle that we were at a moment ago"
They all looked in the distance and saw the castle they were hiding in, an orange light shining in the darkness which could only mean one thing... the castle has fallen and was now on fire.
Guard 1: "It's still not far from here, let's leave quickly"
The third guard looked at Isabella.
Guard 3: "My queen, please have a hold of yourself"
Isabella: "Don't worry, your queen won't mourn at a time like this"
She then gritted her teeth as her eyes shined red.
Isabella: "I will avenge all soldiers that have sacrificed themselves! Let's go!"
She then turned and started to walk off with Issei and the rest following, the brown-haired boy didn't want to but they weren't really giving him much of a choice in the matter. He could try to escape again, but that would be foolish since then he would be in a world where he knows absolutely nothing.
Sure, he has Ddraig to help him but the dragon probably has never traveled to other worlds before. Their only option right now is to follow Isabella and hope that he'll be able to find a way home and fast.
He can't imagine what his parent's faces would be like if he doesn't turn up home, they would be devastated by it.
Issei: 'Hey Ddraig, what are our chances of getting home by ourselves?'
Ddraig: ['Slim, Partner. The magic in this world is much different than ours, I doubt they haven't even discovered how to open portals to locations']
Issei raised an eyebrow.
Issei: 'You mean, teleportation?'
Ddraig: ['No, teleportation and portal are different from each other. Teleportation lets you go to a location like your home, while portal creation lets you make portals to places you can't simply teleport to like the Underworld or Heaven']
Issei: 'I see...'
