Chapter 58

I stood among the ashes of Kokabiel's followers, Laevateinn's flames finally dying down to nothing more than warm metal in my grip. The sword vanished back into my inventory with a thought.

Father Dante was somewhere behind me, probably staring at the devastation with wide eyes. I could hea...

Chapter 57

The look on Loki's face was worth every second of mana I'd spent maintaining that clone.

I'd been watching from above for the better part of an hour. The clone had performed exactly as intended. It let them think they were winning, let them believe their trap had worked. The clone spell had...

Chapter 56

Loki watched with absolute satisfaction as the boy staggered, blood seeping between his fingers where he pressed against the wound. The sight of that golden glow flickering and dimming in Leon's eyes was almost better than wine.

Perfect. The performance is flawless.

"Surprised?" Loki ...

Chapter 55

But Kokabiel was no mere fallen angel. He was the Star of God, the one who'd fought Michael himself during the Great War. A human boy would not make him cower.

"Ha!" Kokabiel threw back his head and laughed, the sound echoing across the mountainside. "Is that supposed to frighten me? Your p...

Chapter 54

The SUV's engine strained as we climbed higher into the Alps, the road narrowing with each switchback. Heavy snow reduced visibility to mere yards ahead, and occasional gusts of wind rocked the vehicle. I sat in silence, watching the world outside gradually trans...

Chapter 53

The jet's engines hummed as we flew over the Alps.

I glanced across the cabin at Rossweisse, who was calmly reviewing what looked like mission files on her tablet. When I told her yesterday that I was flying to Europe to track down Kokabiel, She insisted on coming with me.

Should've k...

Chapter 52

The abandoned warehouse smelled like rust and old rain. I'd chosen this location deliberately, far from any civilians, so that if things went sideways again, we wouldn't level half of Tokyo.

Azazel was already there when I walked in, leaning against some busted support beam. He straightened...

Chapter 51

The training facility beneath the Sitri family estate was impressive, even by supernatural standards. The reinforced walls could probably withstand a nuclear blast, and the space was large enough to accommodate full-scale combat exercises. Magic circles lined the...

Chapter 50

I stared at the bloodstained sheets for what felt like hours but was probably only minutes. The dragon's blood in my veins hummed with satisfaction, like it had claimed something precious, and that thought made my stomach twist.

A soft knock at my bedroom door made me freeze.

"Young m...

Chapter 49

Later that evening, I was in my study trying to catch up on some paperwork when a certain black shadow materialized from nowhere.

"Well, well," a sultry voice purred from the shadows near my bookshelf.

I didn't even look up from my reports. "You know, most people use the front door. I...

Chapter 48

Three days had passed since then. Three days of fielding calls from nervous board members, approving emergency window repairs, and pretending the hole in my thirty-floor office wall was just "architectural renovation."

Three days of Alessia handling an endless stream of "requests for audien...

Chapter 47

Indra stood on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower, the city sprawling beneath him like a circuit board made of light. The mortal realm always fascinated him - the way humans built their towers of glass and steel, reaching toward the heavens with stubborn determination.

But tonight, his tho...

The dinner was actually nice, once Serafall stopped making exaggerated heart shapes with her hands from across the restaurant. There's something surreal about being on a forced date with a devil heiress while her sister provides running commentary through interpr...

Chapter 45

"She's coming to see you. NOW. I'm sorry."

Wait what?

I stared at the messages, my brain trying to process what I was reading. Sona's sister knew about us? And she was coming here? Right now?

"Shit," I muttered, standing up from my desk...

Chapter 44

Back at the Mishima estate, I found Alessia waiting for me in my office, a stack of reports on my desk.

"How was your meeting with Sona Sitri?" she asked, her expression neutral.

"Enlightening," I replied, setting my bag down. 

She nodded, apparently satisfied with my vague...

Chapter 43

I stood amid the ruins, Laevateinn still radiating heat in my hand, when the first scream cut through the night.

Reality crashed back like a physical blow.

The city. The people. In my rage, I'd forgotten where we were, forgotten everything except my need for answers. My vision, so foc...

Chapter 42

These past few days, Azazel has been avoiding me. And it was probably for the best. I was not ready to face him yet.

Still, It didn’t help what I learned in Rome. 

He knew something and I need to know.

By the time Laevateinn finished. I decided to look for him.

I fo...

Chapter 41

The plane ride to Rome was quiet. I'd never flown to Rome without my parents before. Now it was just me and Alessia, my new executive secretary who sat across from me reviewing documents.

"We'll be landing in thirty minutes, sir," she said, placing a tablet in front of me. "The Vatican dele...

Chapter 40

That night, I couldn't sit still.

The mansion felt too quiet. Too empty. Every room reminded me of them—Dad's study where he'd explain company politics, Mom's sitting room where she'd plan charity events. Even my own room felt wrong, like I was wearing clothes that didn'...

Chapter 39

I didn't sleep that night. Couldn't.

Instead, I sat in Dad's office - my office now - going through everything .

By morning, I had three cups of cold coffee and a growing list of questions that needed answers.

The official crash report was on my desk when Hayama brought breakfas...

Chapter 38

I was in my study that evening, staring at papers I couldn't read, when Hayama knocked softly.

"Young master? Miss Shitori is here to see you."

Sona. I'd forgotten we were supposed to meet about the hospital thing. The thought of trying to talk business right now made me feel tired. 2025-05-22 14:47:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 37

The reality of it crashed over me in waves, each one stronger than the last. My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing my lungs, making it hard to breathe.

They were gone. Actually gone.

Not just away on business this time. Not just missing another dinner or school event. Gone f...

Chapter 36

Later that afternoon, I found myself sitting across from Sona in the student council room, a chess board between us as usual. I'd showered and changed, but couldn't completely hide the stiffness in my movements.

"You're favoring your right side," Sona obser...

Azazel moved to the edge of the room, giving us space. Vali stepped forward, removing his hands from his pockets in what seemed like slow motion.

"Don't hold back," he said. "It would be insulting."

I summoned my strongest practice sword from my inven...

Chapter 34

I woke up early, staring at my ceiling while Sona's words from yesterday kept looping in my head.

Trust isn't demanded, it's earned.

Something about that made me feel warm inside. I shook my head. No time to get distracted.

"Focus, Leon...

Chapter 33

My phone buzzed the moment I left my final class of the day. Sona's name flashed on the screen, and I felt a twinge of resignation. I'd been expecting this call since my rooftop conversation with Rias.

"Yes?" I answered, stepping away from the crowd.

Chapter 32

I walked into school with deliberate calm, head high, posture relaxed. Today was business as usual. Yesterday's incident at the café was simply that—an incident. Best to maintain my routine, keep up appearances.

The stares felt different today—more int...

Chapter 31

I walked away from the café with my fists clenched so tight my knuckles turned white. Each step was measured, controlled, as if I was afraid the ground might shatter beneath my feet.

Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

One moment of anger. One slip of control. That's all it had taken to re...

The rest of the school day dragged on with excruciating slowness. By the time the final bell rang, I had brainstormed and discarded a dozen different approaches for my meeting with Rias. In the end, I decided to play it straight, keep the conversation focused on ...

Chapter 29

I hurt in places I didn't know could hurt.

After two hours of getting my ass handed to me by Azazel in our "training session," my body felt like one giant bruise. Sure, I healed fast thanks to the Dragon's Elixir, but that didn't stop the pain while it was happening.

"Not bad for a fi...
