DxD Crawling To The Top

Chapter 39



....
In the end, though I just look at Vali's armor sizzling in front of me. This is the difference when one has a weakness and who doesn't. I could kill Vali whenever I want right now. Holy and Dragon Slaying elements, that is double hard against him as a Devil and Strong Draconic Sacred Gear user. 


This is the weakness that comes with being anything else but human. My gamble at staying human paid off. I contemplated many times to change into a God, especially when Athena offered the so-called Golden Apple to me. But those are all weaknesses I can't afford to have.



*drip* *drip* *drip*  



Droplets of blood fall on the ground out of armor. I can feel Vali trying to move but I have hit all of the vital parts in his body that assist with his movements. 


Should I kill him? Nah, he will be useful as a pawn. He will go around fighting some troublesome people, so Vali is still useful, it's too soon for him to die. Also, he will be useful when fighting against Rizevim. Anyway, I can sense Bikou breaking through the Dimensional Gap barrier by the cut Caliburn created in it.



As expected of a Legendary Sword, it cut straight through space like it was nothing. 


Break!


The space cracks in reality too and Bikou uses his staff to attack me. I just tilt my head to the side, easily dodging that. I take out a small knife and throw it at him. Let's see how a Yokai like him will deal with the little surprise.


Baam!

Sadly the knife doesn't reach him as a magic circle appears and stops it. Then out of the crack, a purple mist comes out. 



Well, that is quite dangerous, so I jump away from Vali as the mist surrounds him and it teleports him away. Ain't Kuroka quite something, her work with poisons seems to be better than expected. It seems like a new type, it probably won't affect me too much due to the small Philosopher's Stone that I currently have under my tongue. It was just in case Vali succeeded in using -Divide- against me. So I can regenerate the lost energy immediately.


"Welp, it seems like he escaped." I tell everyone, I turn towards Rias' and Sona's peerage and say. "It seems that I was lucky and barely won. These Lizard Sacred Gears are good."


I know that everyone is looking at me with eyes that say that they don't believe me. Sirzechs also seems to chuckle a little. The red-haired bastard. He did nothing, he could have obliterated every single one of them by himself, Vali, Katarea... Kotarea? Whatever the dead Leviathan's name is. Sirzechs could have handled all of them together without breaking a sweat.


*Sigh* If he wasn't so strong I would have influenced way more into Devil Society. I mean in the church I did a lot of things in my younger days and except Gabriel coming down to reprimand me a little, nothing else really happened.



I look at Athena and see that she has a curious look in her eyes for a split second before she understands what I am doing. She probably used her special ability as the Goddess of Wisdom. She can analyze the future by what she knows now, she probably saw Vali fighting against Rizevim due to the former having the Lucifer name.



....
Later that evening I am just relaxing in the living room with Rias and Athena. Tsubaki also just teleported here recently to spend some time with us. I know that she is into knightley guys, so I acted like that during one of our sparring sessions before my identity was revealed and she is all over me now. 


Athena is just drinking some Divine Wine... made by the God of Wine. She truly has some extreme tastes, even I haven't drunk wine like that. But I am not a big drinker, after all, I supply booze all over the supernatural world too. You never see a monkey selling bananas... 


*ding*...



That is when I hear the front doorbell ringing. Rias gets a smile at that, immediately I understand that it's gonna be something troublesome. Her idea of a gun is having one of her female peerage members moving in with me...

Damn... I guess that is it...


"I got it." Says Athena as she goes and opens the front door.


"Excuse me, Haruto." Says Xenovia. "I will be staying with you from now on. Feel free to use me however you like."


"Ara~ Ara~ Xenovia -san, that is quite bold of you." Says my very own sadomasochistic half Fallen Angel. Welp, I guess they live here now. I would kick them out... who am I kidding, I totally manipulated the situation for this to happen. I just want to have my own s*x house. Especially now that I have my own house, I live right next to my parent's house now so mom won't be nagging me.


I look at Akeno. "Didn't think you would come here."


"Ara? Am I being a bother?" Asks Akeno with a pitiful look on her face. But I can see straight through her and know that she is just acting like that.


"No, you can stay." I tell her. No need to kick out a future threesome partner. She and Rias... they are perfect for some role play scenes in my head. They will also play then good enough too, Xenovia is a terrible actor and Athena isn't into that kind of thing. Serafall... well... she doesn't count. A threesome with her and another girl is too dangerous except Sona, and any role-playing with her will probably need to have a magical girl aspect to it.



....
  -Athena POV-



I just drink some volcanic whisky as I see Haruto once again playing his games with these girls. None of them being any wiser to see it.


Somehow Haruto knows the future, he told me that so I could use my ability to predict a most likely future and assist him in his plans. About every change he makes he tells me. He is probably some type of time traveler, though I won't ask him about it. He seems reluctant to say anymore, and I won't ask about it. That is all there is to it. 


I trust him, and the relationship between me and Haruto is special. Something that these naive girls would never understand. 


He uses these girls for his pleasure like s*x toys who can talk. But I and him are different, our love is true and shall be eternal. We made our promises upon the River of Death. 


Still though, now and then even I feel some pangs of jealousy that make me want these girls to have painful deaths.

But... that would be indirectly hurting Haruto, that is unacceptable. I would never want to hurt him. Still, though, Rias reminds me of Medusa way too much. The way she thinks she is the most beautiful woman in the world, thinking that her hair is perfect... just like Medusa. Well... look where the latter ended up. Branded on my shield to be used as my weapon.


Medusa, she was r*ped by Poseidon, turned into a monster, got her head cut off, and in the end, she became part of my shield. Some people call it cruel, but this is nothing, cruel would be how father made Prometheus have his liver eaten for eternity, even till this day that is still happening. Just like the Biblical God, Prometheus was obsessed with humans. Which in the end aren't anything special, they both called humans the perfect race. Though I can't see that at all. Honestly, if Haruto didn't exist, humanity wouldn't be anything special, but he has proven that some humans can reach quite far.


But I doubt that Haruto isn't your everyday human. He is the strongest, the best amongst them. He is the man who will one day sit upon the empty heavenly throne. I just know that this will happen, if he didn't achieve that, this world isn't worth living in. I will just start destroying the human world and destroy my soul. A world without Haruto isn't one I want to be part of.


I take another sip of lava whisky from the wine glass. Hmmm... I should try to get Haruto to drink some. He is always so serious, he needs to relax a little.



I think that I sense a strong presence appearing nearby. One that I haven't sensed in quite a bit, and it doesn't have any good intentions.


Haruto just gives me a side glance. That look is asking me if I can take care of it.


I nod at him slightly. Then I get up and go to the kitchen in which I teleport above the clouds and stay there.


"You can come out now." I say casually as I change into my godly uniform which consists of a white robe, shield, and spear. This person can be quite dangerous so better be safe than sorry.
