Kiba was wondering the Gremory castle, worrying about his master. Ever since they left Alex behind two days prior Rias had been sinking into deeper despair. They were all worried about him, but Rias and Kuroka seemed especially bad for some reason. The two of them were locked up in Rias's room simply saying "status, status, status" over and over again. He had no idea why they were saying that, but judging on the way they repeated it, it must have been something to do with Alex.
He looked at the screen displaying the news in the devil world and grew nervous, they all wanted to go and help, but their master was so unresponsive that they couldn't. The worst part was that with each passing day that the two were like that, everyone else started sinking into deeper despair regarding Alex as well.
"He's ok, right?" Koneko asked him, with tears forming in her eyes. She had been affected most by the way her big sister reacted, and so was the one believing the most that he was gone.
"Of course he is, nothing could kill that guy!" They heard a voice behind them, and turned to see Sun Wukong. He had come to heal Vali after being poisoned by Samael, and hear the current status of his student. The Vali squad was behind him, and he turned to Bikou and said,
"You could stand to learn from him you know." Bikou sighed at his ancestors words, and didn't say anything. They all then turned back to the screen and listened to the news. According to them there were thirteen monsters released by Shalba, twelve bandersnatches, and the biggest one was called a jabberwockey. They were each wreaking havoc in the underworld with the jabberwockey making its way to the Capitol of the Maou territory, Lilith. Even when ultimate class Devils were dispatched they did no more than tickling them.
Meanwhile Rias and Kuroka were in her room muttering the same thing over and over again.
"Status, status, status." But no matter how much they repeated it the now familiar screen never appeared. It had vanished not long after they left Alex behind, and both Rias hand Kuroka had long learned that they could use it to determine if Alex was alive or not. If it vanished then that could only mean one thing. After two days of this someone suddenly entered the room. They briefly looked up and say a small monkey like figure. He strode over and looked at the two of them and declared,
"I should really scold my disciple when I next see him, choosing such useless women to be around him." When they heard his words both girls looked at him curiously, though the light had yet to return to their eyes. He then continued,
"Instead of having faith that he'll return to you, you immediately assume he's dead, and instead of doing something about it, you sit here and mope. So what are you if not useless?" At that moment a small light returned as they were both insulted. Before they could say anything however,
[testing, testing. System functions now returning, connection is reestablished, we are sorry for the inconvenience.]
Both of them were dumbfounded, and immediately became fully alert as they pushed a message through, ignoring the monkey in front of them.

When Alex opened his eyes once more he was on a red landscape and the sky was a bunch of different colors.
"So I ended up in the dimensional gap regardless, huh?" He said out loud. He suddenly looked around in a small panic, and saw Ophis sitting a little ways away. He let out a sigh of relief, and said,
"Are you alright Ophis?" She nodded her head and replied,
"I promised not to fight, so I didn't." Alex didn't need to ask what she meant, as he looked around and saw he was riding a giant red dragon. He was actually very pleased she listened to what he asked her, because he didn't want to wake up in a battlefield. Alex looked at his body and was pleased with what he managed, at first it seemed as if he wasn't going to be able to fight the poison, but he suddenly got a surge of strength and forced it to submit. He didn't know where the strength came from, but was pleased it came when it did.
'What do you mean my own strength?' But this time Lauren answered,
'Soon after the fight with Loki we noticed that you were weaker than you should have been, but there was nothing to determine what crippled you. Ddraig then mentioned what maybe "nothing" was the clue for us, to think he was right. It turned out the one who restricted your strength was great red, the dragon born from illusions.'
Alex was stunned at her words, but also thought they made sense. He didn't think super Saiyan would be omnipotent in the dxd world, but he did seem to be weaker than he should have been. Now that he thought about it he felt ashamed that he didn't notice it sooner. Ddraig spoke up,
'But why did great red cripple me?' Lauren answered once more.
'Ddraig asked him that as well, and the answer actually surprised us. When you combined the boosted gear and super Saiyan he detected your power, and investigated your dreams when you passed out. He learned about what you have planned, but also that you were severely lacking in training. He then placed blockers so that when you noticed your weakness you would continue training the basics and reach your ideal level of strength. I have to say his idea worked beautifully.'
Alex was dumbstruck at her words, but she didn't let him recover before her next bombshell.
'Oh by the way, congrats on making level one hundred Alex.' When he heard her he froze, and suddenly looked at his status to see that she wasn't lying.

When he saw that he was level one hundred Alex leaped with joy,
"YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS! Finally I'm there!" He swiftly went to the shop and bought Asora. Once it was bought he suddenly felt different, and saw it was added to his abilities. He then also chose his next job, and went with ruthless draconian tyrant.
[NOTICE! Asora added, strength increased, defense increased, dragons glider, claws, and plate scales were replaced with draconian form.]
When Alex heard his new ability he was surprised, and activated it. He was suddenly covered in scales and his hands and feet changed to claws, and his tail changed to become more reptilian. A pair of wings opened on his back, and he felt a pair of horns grow on his head. Ophis's eyes opened wide at his new form, and Alex was amazed at his new forms look.
As he was looking at his new powers he suddenly got another notification,
[connection reestablished with subordinates]
He wondered what this meant, until Lauren clarified and Alex started sweating.
'When you were busy meditating, you were fighting Samael's poison, great red removed the blockers, you reached the limit of your current job, and you reached level one hundred, the system couldn't keep up and cut off some functions. In other words it removed your subordinates until some of it could be fixed when you woke up. He didn't like what this might be mean, and asked,
'Does this mean-'
'Yes they've most likely thought you were dead for the last couple of days.' Alex was sweating at her words, and before he could react, received video calls. He opened them and instantly,
"ALEX ARE YOU OK?!" Rias screamed from the screen. Kuroka was right next to her, and they were both listening to hear from him, until they saw what looked like a humanoid dragon looking back.
(A.N. Squeezed one more chapter out since the last chapter kinda sucked. And for anyone curious this is the point he pretty much becomes a true super Saiyan.)
