The Seraphic System
Chapter: 06
Notice: I just feel I have to clarify this for some people, this will not be a generic hero fic where the mc lets his women walk all over him and lets himself take the blame for everything even though it's not the mc's fault, which a lot of authors seem to love doing.
It's the reason I put Grey/Dark mc in the description. The mc is selfish and won't be letting himself get walked on. I'm sorry if that's what some of you wanted, but I despise those kinds of fics.
You don't need to worry about the mc just going around killing everyone, since he will help people if it benefits him. So, things like the goblin city slaughter won't be happening much. That was more of a retaliation.
Thanks for all the support recently, I appreciate it. It is hard writing while I'm sick, but I'm glad you seem to enjoy it. I will also be adding more people to the harem, as for whom I'm unsure of right now.
I read the reviews so if you have suggestions do let me know, the same applies with the familiar egg.
Update: (Redoing some of it since people didn't like the torture part which is fair I suppose don't want to many people bitching about it so I'm changing it. I admit due to my illness I wasn't thinking straight when making it, so I've decided that it needs a redo)
(Also for people complaining about riser's character it's literally how he acts in canon, I don't intend to just throw him away as a shitty side character, he will be having his own development in terms of personality.)
(Stalker Revealed)
I was at a loss for words. After destroying the small goblin city, I was making my way back for some much needed rest. Only to find a massive fucking fireball shot at me from nowhere.
I had quickly knocked out Grizella and placed her in my inventory since she was in the way.
Now, here I am, gazing down at two familiar faces before me. The culprit that decided to attack me was staring up at me with an annoyingly smug face.
One was a male and dressed in a dark red suit with a white shirt underneath that had both of its top buttons undone, which made him seem like a delinquent, along with his messy hair and rugged but admittedly slightly handsome face. He gave off the vibe of a wannabe bad boy.
The shorter female stood next to him, on the other hand, had a more mature air around her, even though she looked to be only a few years older than me.
Her curly blonde hair cascaded around her face, framing features that were nothing short of captivating. Her porcelain skin, delicate and pale, seemed unblemished by any taints.
The depth of her pure blue orbs, filled with innocence and curiosity, held a magnetic allure. My eyes were drawn to her lips, which were soft and inviting. Her body hinted at developing curves, which made her extremely beautiful.
My gaze lingered on her for slightly longer, as I hadn't seen such a beautiful girl in my old world before, but I quickly composed myself. I had a sneaking suspicion who they were, but to be certain…
{Name: Riser Phenex}
{Title: High-Class Devil}
{Race: Pure-Blood Devil}
{Power level: 4380}
{Name: Ravel Phenex}
{Title: Mid-Class Devil}
{Race: Pure-Blood Devil}
{Power level: 3015}
"To think the great and mighty Riser Phenex would encounter a filthy little dove in the underworld and the dove would survive my Ultra Fire Blast. Consider yourself worthy, little dove. You have my attention." Riser laughed arrogantly. Which I admit was much more annoying in person than in the anime.
What basically happened was that I was peacefully returning to my humble abode after massacring an entire city of Goblins. But this PRICK, threw a fucking fireball at my face.
If not for the fact that even in my weakened form I am way stronger than him, I would have been seriously hurt. This flaming chicken would have made me waste my precious credits on plastic surgery. He would pay for this transgression.
Unfortunately, I was still feeling exhausted from all the mana usage from today. But not so tired that I wouldn't be able to teach this brat respect.
I shot a deadpan expression at the arrogant dirty blonde haired teenager standing before me and gave him an "Are you serious?" look, which he pointedly seemed to ignore.
Seriously, was this guy for real? I couldn't help but wonder if he was just putting on an act, or if he genuinely lacked any semblance of intelligence.
Ravel beside him blushed in embarrassment at the look of incredulity I sent through my mask.
"Do you perhaps suffer from some sort of mental dysfunction or are you just acting?" I questioned curiously.
Riser's face went red in anger at my taunt.
"How dare you insult the mighty Riser Phenex!" He gritted out in genuine anger.
"Do all devil nobles act like this, or are you just a dick?" I asked boredly which seemed to infuriate Riser even more.
"The mighty Riser phenex has worked hard to obtain his power and status, I will NOT be looked down on by a mere pigeon!" He shouted at me with contempt.
I snorted and looked at riser with amusement, "the only hard task you've performed in your worthless life was the act of climbing out of your mother's cunt"
Riser's eyes turned bloodshot with rage at my taunt directed towards him. His teeth were clenched tightly as a large magic circle formed in front of his hand and he summoned a massive fireball with a single swift motion.
The fireball was bigger than the previous one, as big as a house even and with a roar of rage it came hurtling towards me with tremendous force. I grinned, even though I was feeling sluggish from using up too much of my mana, I still had enough physical strength to dodge that enormous fireball coming straight my way.
I launched myself from the branch in a burst of speed, just in time to avoid the fiery explosion that scorched the tree I had been standing on just a moment ago. Landing quickly on another tree, I turned to face him.
With a menacing glare directed at me, two fire wings materialised behind him, and he unleashed a powerful torrent of fire from his magic circle towards me. Luckily, I had a decent amount of chakra left to spare.
I swiftly evaded the flames with a bit of effort and In one quick motion, I summoned wooden branches and sent them towards the blonde-haired idiot who seemed to have no comprehension of how to not be a dick at extreme speeds.
They moved so quickly that all he could perceive was a blurred onslaught heading his way. The three large branches I sent shot towards him, and he didn't bother evading them, which, I assumed, was his confidence in his regeneration. He was impaled by the three branches.
The three roots stabbed into two of his legs and arm, holding him in place as he gritted his teeth in pain. I instantly began to feel his regeneration fight to push the wooden roots out of his body, but to no avail, as I made little wooden spikes pop out to get a better grip, which made him clench his teeth in pain.
Immediately, I started to syphon his mana through the branches. I hadn't used this skill as much as I should have, but it was definitely extremely useful in this situation.
Due to the phenex regeneration, I knew I wouldn't be able to physically defeat them unless I kept doing it until their mana ran out and their regeneration stopped, so I decided that using the syphon ability of Mokuton would do the trick in defeating the arrogant phenex.
I instantly began to feel my mana reserves fill up as the wood roots greedily sucked the mana from the blonde teenager, who looked panicked at his current situation before he sneered at me.
"You think these mere roots can hold the great Phenex, I'll show you my true might, you filthy pigeon!" He screamed.
With his loud proclamation, he suddenly let out a large burst of fire all around him and tried to burn the chakra-infused wood that held him in place, which only gained slight burns as his mana began draining even faster.
The fire started to dim down as his mana was being sucked dry. Finally, the flames went out, and I gave him the most unimpressed look I could muster.
If this was high-class level strength, then I would probably put myself around the peak-high class or low ultimate class level. My eight wings testifying to that.
After a few seconds, his mana was fully depleted, and he was left panting for breath as the wooden roots held his body firmly in place.
I'm glad I had levelled up the mokuton since it boosted the drain ability by quite a bit, which was convenient.
I dodged another smaller fireball as it seemed the younger phenex had finally decided to try to help her brother, judging by the yellow magic circle in her outstretched hands.
She looked scared as my eyes locked onto hers and I didn't bother to dodge the fireball as I used my harden skill, which made the basketball sized fireball sizzle out harmlessly on my skin.
The only reason I had bothered to dodge Riser's large fireball was since he was a high-class devil and as someone who had killed creatures much stronger than me, even if it was barely, I knew an attack even if it was by someone weaker could severely hurt or kill me if I was too careless.
Seeing her attack leave no mark on my skin, she backed away and sent another few fireballs at me which bounced off my skin harmlessly, which almost looked comical.
The level between mid-class and high-class slightly surprised me, but I assumed her mastery of fire
manipulation was also sorely lacking.
She backed away and bumped into a tree. I took that chance to summon more roots that wrapped around her and bound her tightly to the tree, stopping her from escaping.
"Now that's out of the way, would you mind answering a question of mine?," I questioned casually as if their attempts at defeating me weren't a big deal, which they admittedly weren't.
I watched with a certain satisfaction as Riser's once arrogant and better-than-thou facade crumbled before my eyes. It was about damn time he realised just how fucked he truly was.
As I took a few steps towards Riser's struggling form, my progress was abruptly interrupted by a sudden bolt of lightning crackling down right where I was.
Caught off guard, I narrowly dodged the surprise attack, watching as the power of the lightning bolt destroyed the place I was just standing with deadly force.
I winced slightly, that definitely would have hurt. To my surprise, five figures with bat wings jumped out before me, forming a protective barrier around Riser and Ravel. The arrival of the 5 devils seemed to shock them both as they looked at them with hope and some familiarity.
Quickly deducing that the Phenex siblings had no knowledge of the new arrivals, I narrowed my eyes at them. Reinforcements?
At the forefront of the defensive group of devils stood a man who seemed to be in charge and appeared to be in his middle age, exuding a certain handsome charm in his tuxedo attire. Firmly grasping a rapier in his hand.
As I locked eyes with the devil butler standing before me, my attention was immediately drawn to the four other devils positioned behind him in the background. Among them were three females and a lone male.
It was clear that they were ready to spring into action at a moment's notice, with their magic circles prepared to launch an onslaught of attacks instantly.
"I must apologise for not interrupting much sooner Lord Riser, but Lady Phenex and Lord Phenex asked me to not interfere unless completely necessary." The man at the front spoke calmly, while his cautious eyes never left my figure.
"Luther! Release me at once and let me kill this filth who dared to harm me." Riser shouted in rage as he continued to struggle.
Wasn't this dude shitting himself just a second ago, what's with the sudden bravery?
"I'm afraid I cannot adhere to that order Lord Riser, this adversary has shown himself to be capable. Let us take care of this… Scoundrel." He said with disdain.
Honestly, his polite but passive-aggressive tone pissed me off, he's calling me a Scoundrel? When he has to deal with people like Riser and stuck up nobles.
I was going to interrogate with force if needed and leave them alive, but these other devils would not be receiving the same courtesy.
I had gotten back a bit of my mana from draining Riser, but unfortunately, even with draining most of his reserves, I wasn't up to the point I could spam powerful attacks carelessly.
Which was slightly surprising since Riser was only a few thousand power levels below me. I had assumed that the stat points of a person gain more value as they go up, but this proves that theory.
Unless his MAG stat is just that awful, but since he's a high-class devil, I was thinking it was the latter in this case. Especially with my explosive rise in strength.
Looking back at the butler with a glare, I used appraisal.
{Name: Luther Malachi}
{Title: High-Class Devil/Phenex Butler}
{Race: Reincarnated Devil}
{Power level: 5460}
My eyes widened in surprise, this butler was stronger than Riser. I quickly scanned through the rest and was a little relieved to see they were only Mid-class Devils, on about the same level as Ravel in terms of their power level.
If they were all High-class devils, I would have had to go all out or even might have had to escape with my chakra and mana being so low.
We stood and stared each other down for a few moments before I summoned three golden chains of light that shot towards him at high speeds.
He narrowly evaded one and used his Rapier that glowed red to strike the other chains, flinging them away.
The chain that he had initially dodged went through and pierced the woman behind him directly in her heart, whose magic circle had just lit up as she had been in the middle of forming an attack that blew up when she lost control.
Leaving her head half gone in a spray of gore. The other two female and male eyes widened in shock before they gained a look of anger and began shooting attacks of mainly what seemed to be mana blasts and different small elemental spells.
I dodged the balls of mana with speed, the elemental attacks were mainly consisting of small blasts of lightning or fire that were easy to evade, yet I was surprised at the versatility of devil magic.
They got to throw around all sorts of elemental attacks, while I was stuck with light manipulation.
Evading the devil butler's powerful sword thrust, I raised my hand and unleashed a concentrated blast of holy-infused light towards the magic-wielding devils.
The burst of radiant energy surged forward, engulfing the magic-wielding devils in a dazzling shower of gold. Instantly, they disintegrated into mere dust, the other devil got faint burns from the proximity, making her scream in pain.
Two of the devils, a male and a female, were caught in the explosion, their forms obliterated effortlessly.
Refocusing my attention on the devil butler, who swung his sword at me once again with more vigour at the sigh of his dead devil friends, I speedily dodged to the side. Witnessing the ground being grazed by the blade, leaving behind a small gash, I capitalised on the opening.
I kicked the devil butler's leg at an odd angle, causing it to snap with a sickening crack. Making him keel over in pain and loss of balance.
I used hardening on my skin again as the devil behind me once again sent more magic attacks of various elements at me.
The attacks bounced off my skin without harm, only pushing me back very slightly. I had mostly been evading since I would rather not get complacent with my hardening skill as I doubted it would be long before I started fighting beings much stronger than me.
Appearing in front of her in a blur of speed, I sent a punch into her stomach. With my hardened skin boosting my strength even more, a resounding crack followed by a scream of pain as she flew back with all her bones shattered and a small shockwave that blasted outwards.
I was feeling seriously overpowered, I hadn't even used all of my strength in that punch, and yet, it was strong enough to completely destroy her.
I felt like the last boss in an anime who beats up the hero and shows him true power, of course, there would be no hero rising his way up into power enough to defeat me, but the power was nice. I definitely wanted to get out of here and begin training again.
This was just the start, and I estimated I was Peak-High class or Low-Ultimate class, so thinking about what the power of a Satan class being, or even a super devil had made my liver itch in pure desire.
The devil girl flew through the air like a rag doll and hit one of the trees before getting embedded in it. Blood leaked from her eyes and she coughed up blood. Her stomach was completely, for a lack of better words fucked.
If she did somehow manage to survive this, she wouldn't be able to do much without some sort of powerful healing item, which she probably wouldn't be able to afford.
I heard the wind whistle behind me as a rapier went for the kill behind me, tilting my body to the side. I avoided the rapier and came face to face with the injured butler, who had just tried to sneak attack me.
His butler attire was torn in some parts, contrary to its pristine appearance when he had first appeared and his brown hair was messy with his eyes looking at me in defiance.
Wrapping my hand around the hilt of the rapier, I hit him with my hardened palm with immense force, forcing him to let go of his weapon and be sent flying back.
He quickly got up after landing on the ground, only to find himself wrapped up by wooden roots that sprouted from the surrounding ground.
"I've had enough of these games, now, as I was saying before you and your squad of 'Scoundrels' rudely interrupted me." I said with a mocking tone.
I was feeling extremely sluggish now, I was draining the butler to try to give me some of his energy, but unfortunately, he didn't seem to have much, with him being mainly a sword wielder.
"Where are we?"
His expression of anger briefly turned into confusion, as if what I had asked was stupid. After a few moments of silence, I formed a light spear and sent it towards Riser's bound arm.
I wasn't going to pretend I was good or even knew a single thing about torture or interrogation, but I guess I could try it out if it got me the answer. I did feel a bit bad, but I quickly clamped down those emotions.
He screamed in pain as the light seared his skin, before I made the light spear float back and hover in the air dangerously. I heard Riser shouting insults but promptly ignored him.
I wasn't in the mood to play around, especially with an asshole like Riser, it didn't help that my angel instincts were begging me to punish the sinner.
"Stop! Please leave them out of this, We are in the Familiar Forest." He shouted out in panic at the sight of Riser's arm slowly being burnt.

My eyes glazed over as I checked the new prompt that appeared before me.
The familiar forest? The place in Dxd where basically everyone and their grandmothers get their familiars… isn't this also the territory of Tiamat, The Chaos Karma Dragon? Oh for fucks sakes.
It certainly made sense with all the different creatures I had seen, but this made me realise I needed to leave as soon as possible.
This would no doubt be reported. Even if I killed them, I'm sure their absence would be quickly discovered and actually be worse.
Not to mention The Chaos Karma Dragon, I'm surprised I haven't seen an appearance from her with all the killing in her territory.
I also had no desire to meet a pissed off dragon or any of the Satans looking for compensation. I was basically living in a hot spot for supernatural activity, and by some sort of luck hadn't run into anyone until now.
"Are there any more reinforcements that I should expect?, if I sense you're lying I'm going to kill the little struggling flaming chicken over there" I warned, gesturing at Riser.
I wasn't actually going to kill them but he didn't need to know that.
The devil butler shook his head reluctantly. Honestly, I had no way of telling if he was lying, but he didn't need to know that.
"No, we were only sent to watch over Lord Riser and Lady Ravel, I swear." He added quickly when my eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Who are the current four Satans?" I asked slowly.
It would be best to know if this world was the same dxd I knew or if there were changes. If so, my canon knowledge wouldn't be a reliable source of information. The butler looked confused at my lack of knowledge but nonetheless answered my question
"I don't know why you are asking this, but the current Satans are Lord Sirzhecs Lucifer, Lord Ajuka Beelzebub, Lady Serafall Leviathan and Lord Falmium Asmodeus."
The butler was visibly exhausted, both due to the battle and the constant syphoning of his energy. I guess the current four Satans are the same ones that appeared in canon, but nonetheless, it doesn't indicate that canon was still accurate.
For all I know god could still be alive and kicking, I suspect that would be troublesome to deal with. Deciding that I needed to get more information about the current situation of the world
"Ah well, thanks for your cooperation, I only really needed to know that first question." I said slightly embarrassed.
"What do you plan to do with me and the young masters?" He asked seriously.
I thought about it for a second. I would have to leave soon since I had no doubt this would be reported and my presence would be finally revealed, but what should I do with them?
Walking over to Ravel, I raised my hand and slowly patted her on the head and she flinched before calming down. She seemed frightened at first before she became confused.
Her blonde hair was extremely silky and nice to the touch. As expected of a Noble devil she probably has some magical enhanced shampoo. Man I really miss having a warm shower.
"You will be allowed to go free, I have no interest in killing you. After all, it was your young master over there who started the conflict." I spoke calmly, there was no need to escalate things further than they had already gone.
I realised this was a stupid mistake, but my curiosity got the better of me.
"Thank you for your mercy." The devil butler replies with gratitude and relief evident in his tone. It was obvious he was expecting me to kill them, but that would be akin to suicide.
This could be played off as an attack from Riser, since he initiated the conflict. Even though I was in the underworld, the familiar forest was not devil territory, so they couldn't try to say I was in the wrong, but my appearance here would be a massive breach in security for the underworld.
I was basically doing damage control at this point. I admittedly fucked up since I was feeling sluggish from the lack of mana, but now I had drained a bit from the devils I could think a little more clearly.
If I was captured I could just go with this context, this was my backup plan if I couldn't find a way out in time before the devils inevitably send a squad of stronger devils to subdue and integrate me, which didn't sound fun.
Stopping the head pats I was giving Ravel, I smirked in amusement as she looked disappointed at the lack of head pats she was receiving.
I just killed her guards and threatened her life yet she was enjoying my head pats, devils were truly different from humans.
I gazed into her blue eyes for a few seconds before giving her a casual wave goodbye, opening my eight wings and blasting away.
I stopped the chakra pouring in the wood restriction and made them release the three devils as I flew back home faster than they could react. Only the devil butler saw a blur as I vanished.
My form kept wobbling in the sky as I felt myself starting to drift off without the adrenaline supporting me.
I couldn't wait to go to the fortress and sleep.
[Ravel Pov]
Watching the masked angel in front of me disappear as he shoots up into the sky with a bang, I can't help but feel disappointed, which confuses me.
Growing up as a noble devil, I had never really felt any sort of physical interaction apart from mother's occasion hug or when someone kissed the back of my hand in greeting.
So, the feeling of the head pats the angel gave me felt oddly nice and comforting, even as my heart was rapidly beating in my chest. In both fear and something else I couldn't quite identify.
I felt my cheeks heat up as I blushed. As a devil we were different from humans, a human in this situation would probably feel scared and feel some anger towards the perpetrator, but as a devil, I was raised with the ideals that strength was the most important thing for survival and influence in the devil world.
The powerful angel's show of dominating Luther and the other devil guards, even if it was scary then, felt thrilling now, I had never experienced something like it. Watching rating games while fun but it was still in a controlled environment.
Suddenly, the wooden restraints that had kept a tight hold on me released and fell to the ground harmlessly, I looked over and saw Riser and Luther's restraints had fallen too.
Luther quickly limped over to the both of us as Riser quickly gave him a phenex tear from his pocket and Luthera wounds quickly closed up with his leg snapping in place with a crack.
He began to check over us while I was still in a daze, and Riser was much quieter than usual. Luther quickly made a teleportation circle and rushed us into it.
He seemed almost afraid the angel would come back at any time to finish us off. I followed his instructions slowly as we started to teleport away.
just before we could teleport away, a flash of light appeared in the corner of my eyes and in the next moment a light spear impaled Luther through the throat.
My eyes widened in pure shock at the sigh of the a large light spear sticking out his throat as blood spilt out his mouth.
I could only stay there with my mouth gaping in shock at the now dead Luther as I tried desperately to ignore the heat that I felt down between my legs at the sheer brutal display.
this feeling so wrong but it just felt so good.
[Kai Pov]
-Time Skip (A Day Later)-
Standing atop the fortress wall, I cast my gaze into the distance, lost in thought. The familiar forest surrounded me, the devils would soon begin hunting for me after my encounter with the Phenex duo.
I admit it probably would have been the smarter move to ignore them and killing Luther probably wasn't the best choice but I wasn't going to leave someone who had actively tried to kill me alive.
The only reason the Phenex siblings had been left alive was to avoid the full repercussions that killing a devil noble would cause, I was nowhere near ready for to take on an entire faction with confidence, let alone the Satans themselves.
I sighed. When I finished my current download, I would definitely look into an intelligent character to download, since I hope it would stop me from making such stupid decisions in the future.
Now I would have to deal with an entire faction searching for me due to my actions.
The last few hours had been spent thinking of ways to escape the forest I was currently stuck in. I was hesitant to spend credits on a teleportation skill out of here, but I was drafting to think maybe that would be the only way.
I knew I wasn't a prodigy or really even that smart but making a stupid move like antagonising of the 72 pillars of the devil race.
Not to mention one of the richest and most influential pillar clans due to their clan traits, but attacking a pillar clan was definitely not my smartest idea since arriving in this world.
I was currently kicking myself for being so idiotic. If one of the Satan's or even a peak ultimate class came to investigate, I would be done for. I was not strong enough to antagonise factions yet.
At least I had been competent enough to leave my mask on during the encounter, so they didn't know what I looked like, but I was sure once they found me an angel alone in the familiar forest it wouldn't be hard to connect the dots.
I sighed while running a hand through my silky blonde hair. There was no use in crying over spilt milk. I would have to learn from my mistakes. In all fairness, I was just a human a few months ago. I was bound to make a mistake at some point.
It had been an entire day since the incident between me and the Phenex siblings. After dealing with Riser, I had not bothered spending any more time dealing with them due to my low energy and had essentially fallen asleep as soon as I fell onto my bed back at the fortress.
Currently, I was thinking of a solution to exit the familiar forest. I would rather not spend any more time here, since not only had I finally reached a bottleneck in terms of training, but now the devils would be on the hunt for me in the familiar forest.
I knew for a fact if they caught me, I would be done for. While they may act civilised, I would probably become a slave or receive a harsh punishment for my "crimes" against the idiot and his sister.
There were a few options to leave the familiar forest, but they all cost a huge number of credits. Such as teleportation scrolls and magical items that could transfer me out of the underworld.
I had spent my morning looking for another solution, but it seemed I would have to spend credits to leave the underworld.
I searched for any cheaper options in the system shop, and sure enough, I finally found something that wouldn't eat up most of my credits.
[Wormhole] [One-Time Usage]
[A single use skill that allows you to create a passage between two points in the space-time continuum. Used for shortening travel distance between two locations.]
[Warning: it cannot bypass wards created by any magical means.]
[Cost: 13000 Credits]
Unfortunately, it turns out that teleportation or portal skills cost quite a lot, there were cheaper items such as teleportation formations I could have bought, but they would have left behind a trace of my existence.
I mentally added a teleportation skill to my list of skills that needed downloading. Preferably a skill that allowed me to open a portal instead of using the magical circles that every supernatural creature seems to use.
Scrolling through the system shop a while longer for anything of interest, I marked multiple items that would be helpful when I escaped the underworld and made it to earth. After a while, I found an item that intrigued me and clicked on it.
[Phantom Shifter Ring] [Uncommon]
[The Phantom Shifter Ring is an uncommon accessory that lets the wearer create a basic illusion to change their appearance. When activated, it projects a realistic but basic illusion that covers their body. Note can only be used to change the look of your body.]
[Abilities: Self-Shift] [Passive: None]
[Warning: Illusion only works on creatures without mana]
[Cost: 4000 Credits]
I looked at the description and nodded my head in thought. Since I would be going to the human world, I had been wondering how I could bring Grizella, my goblin maid with me since her appearance would obviously be an issue.
Since I doubt it would be good if I was seen with a goblin walking through the human world, I suspect it would garner a lot of attention and not just from humans.
Now looking at the Ring I had found in the system store, I think this would be a good solution from now.
The item wouldn't be of any use to me since it wouldn't work on any being without mana, but that was expected for an uncommon ranked ring, as for blending into the human world I think this is exactly what I needed.
Purchasing the ring, I frowned as I watched my credits go down, unfortunately, a lot of the strong objects and skills were costly. Which was why I had been browsing through the lower ranked objects.
I took another look through the shop, but the massive amount of items and products in the system shop made it impossible to go through even just at the lower ranks in just an hour.
Truly, the system shop was massive and probably my most powerful ability, being able to purchase objects across the multiverse by killing beings for credits was a villain's wet dream.
Eventually, I closed the system shop tab, I was ready to leave this place and I would rather not stall any further. I felt anxious that an army of devils would appear and capture me at any moment.
Normally, I would have just waited until I could download a skill for teleportation and not bothered spending credits on something I could get for free, but I was in a rush unfortunately, meaning I would have to waste credits.
Which, while annoying, was my fault for being too reckless and not thinking of the consequences. I wasn't powerful enough to fuck around without care yet, like I had been in the forest the last few months.
"Grizella!" I called out loudly, my voice breaking the silent atmosphere of the fortress.
I heard the hurried footsteps of my goblin maid, Grizella as she came out from the mansion within the fortress. I observed her new outfit appreciatively, one I had purchased in the system shop for her.
The black maid outfit with its elegant white frills complemented her green skin, large red eyes and smooth black hair well.
She stopped in front of me and looked at me nervously with a blush as she went dazed when she looked at my face. Courtesy of my allure perk.
"Grizella, prepare everything you need to leave. We will be leaving this place soon due to some unfortunate consequences. Bring everything of value, including my items into the courtyard." I spoke to her calmly. She looked surprised but nodded obediently.
"Yes my lord, b-but I won't be able to carry everything, please forgive me." She said, slightly scared at my reaction.
"I will be taking care of the transport for our items, just make sure to bring everything" I replied with a reassuring smile that made her blush even more.
Even though my appearance was that of a 14-year-old, the allure perk seemed to be stronger than I initially thought.
I had assumed it would simply make me more charismatic and handsome, but it seemed it was far stronger than that.
While I couldn't lie and say I disliked this mistake, there was a certain power to being able to make a cute goblin who was older than me blush.
In my old life, I had looked decent, but not enough to make a cute girl blush with my appearance alone. Not that I had been in that many relationships, anyway.
An hour later, I found Grizella waiting for me in the courtyard standing obediently next to all our belongings, luckily I didn't own many items and most of my items stayed in my inventory, meaning I didn't have much to move.
With a snap of my hand, all the objects were sucked into the swirling purple portal that was my inventory. Grizella looked shocked but stayed silent.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked.
"Yes, my lord." She said with a well-practised bow, which I assumed she performed to her now-dead king many times.
I was surprised at the warrior's polite attitude since she was a goblin, but they did seem to have a surprising amount of discipline when I invaded their city. Perhaps they weren't as primal as they were normally depicted.
"Time to leave this place for good, finally." I said happily. I had been waiting to leave this place for ages. Now that I have hit a plateau in my training.
Reaching out to open the one time used wormhole towards the human world, more specifically Japan , since I had a few things I needed to do there. An unsettling sensation washed over me as I froze.
"Wait, No!, I won't let you leave me!" A voice full of desperation and obsession with just a sprinkle of craze shouted from within the woods. Making me pause.
The world went silent as all the wildlife seemed to go silent as an aura made itself known, and I saw Grizella next to me tremble before fainting. What the hell?
It was as if time stood still as terror unexpectedly coursed through my entire body. For the first time since coming to this world, I felt a primal fear rise within my chest.
My eyes frantically looked around as I forcefully snapped myself out of my fear-induced trance. I couldn't find the owner of the voice that had completely caught me off guard.
Suddenly, a large blue body smashed through the wall like it was made of paper. The whole wall easily shattered from the force. I instinctively took a step back to get a better look at it.
My eyes widened in pure shock and true fear at the colossal blue western dragon before me, its majestic but imposing form towered over me and the entire fortress.
The dragon's piercing blue eyes locked onto my figure with a crazed intensity, staring with an unhealthy amount of obsession. As if I were a national treasure about to be stolen away by a drunk hippie at a museum.
On pure reflex, I used appraisal.
{Name: Tiamat}
{Title: Dragon King/Chaos Karma Dragon}
{Race: Dragon}
{Power level: 68400}
"…"
Ah, shit.
[Serafall Pov]
Walking at a brisk stride, a beautiful young woman that had captured the hearts of many was outfitted in a sleek, dark green suit with her black hair set with two pigtails cascading down her back caught the look of many passing devils.
Her vibrant and normally purple eyes shimmered with seriousness. Her beautiful face was adorned with a frown marring her delicate full lips, Which made any devil in her way quickly move out of her path in fear.
This, naturally, was a well-known figure who all the underworld knew. Serafall Leviathan, one of the four devil kings of the devil race. A Satan class being originally from the Sitri clan.
She was normally seen as an overly joyful girl with an energetic attitude, with her magical girl show making many think she was bubbling and friendly, but right now, she was in no mood to act in her normal fashion.
A few minutes ago, she had gotten a concerning message about the third son of Phenex getting into an altercation with an angel, the result being multiple dead devil guards. With the devil, Butler being forced to use a phenex tear to heal himself.
She was currently walking through the Phenex mansion, where she had been told the two phenex brats that had been in an altercation with the unknown angel were currently located.
She quickly made it through the doors past the devil maids and butlers, Riser and Ravel could be seen sitting down on luxurious chairs while being comforted by lady Phenex.
She mentally cursed. This really wasn't good. She had no particular care for the snot-nosed Phenex brat, or any of their family for that matter. Her caring magical girl attitude was simply just a way to deal with her trauma.
Sighing, she could only lament at the amount of work this would cause, along with the reports from the familiar forest about the goblin army marching somewhere and never returning.
The army itself wasn't a threat, but to a peerage it could possibly take them out and only then for a massive explosion to destroy the goblin city.
Since it wasn't really a threat that required the devil military to act, falbium wouldn't bother to get involved, leaving more work for serafall as she had intended to watch for any trouble before sending devils to investigate.
after all Tiamat wouldn't take kindly to many devils entering her territory at once.
Too many things were happening and now with the appearance of an angel in the underworld of all places and said angel getting in a fight with a pillar devil was going to cause her a lot of work.
Sometimes Serafall couldn't help but wonder why she bothered taking this role. The only good part about the job was the distraction it caused. Quickly clearing her head of those thoughts, she stayed focused.
She needed to find to take care of this before it scaled out of proportion.
-END-
So, Riser got taught not to mess with Kai and a yandere dragon appeared. Gotta wonder how Kai will escape the big trench of shit he has dug himself, Sorry for the late update, just having problems n shit you know life.
Reviews:
Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwe: True, but the sword has helped him a lot and downloads take a long time, making weapons and things like that won't be happening for a long time. Familiar forest was just a location that I had plans for, which you can see now. On the other hand, he probably would have to be honest with the skills and allure.
Yea, I was using them because wiki battles, which shows every anime characters' power using that ranking system does it, but I decided it looked kind of meh, so I removed it. Haha. Yea I thought, why not have a cute goblin maid right?
Lypros Melfdan: I assure you I could make it at least 100x more edgy, it's hard not to be edgy when your family fucking betrays you. Unless you want him skipping around with rainbows, but he is just a teenager, so it's obvious he's going to brood.
WatcherOfEternia: Once he mastered holy manipulation more he will be able to use it to heal, so that's already done, but I'll probably give him a healing skill from download since angel healing can only do so much and can't regrow limbs let's say.
Guest: thanks man, this helps. Seriously.
darknachouva: I skipped over it because I felt people were getting bored by all the skills but probably shouldn't have. May go back to it in the future.
Guest: Yes, my mc is an idiot. obviously he's a fucking teenager who's been reborn with a gamer system. He's not instantly going to be super smart. Would have broken the chains of light due to it not being mastered enough… He could have, but the point is he wasn't taking it seriously. Meh, I mean it's a being far above him in power can't really just one tap him, sorry kid.
Guest: Mc decides to spend his points on a metallic stick that is super sharp and can kill things with a simple cut, which also stacks every time he gets a cut. Yes, he did. True, I did regret not giving him a holy sword, but it's in the past now and I can't change it. That would be too easy anyway and yes, he is a weakling, but admit a one - cut kill is awesome and he has it that can enhance him if he uses its ability that gives him extra strength. He just hasn't used it yet.
moose3333: Famous last words he destroyed an entire city of goblins because they attacked him. He won't really be good, per se. Since having a good Angel who lets himself get stepped on is boring. But I've added Asia to the potential harem list. He may feel bad and help her. Since she technically would remind him of himself back in his old life.
Maybe he will corrupt Asia, who knows. He is developing an instinct though which will sometimes compel him to attack like a true angel. The cynical kind that kills all evildoers with a smile and may help some people, depending on if this instinct adds up. It's why I've made him a grey/dark character, he's in between.
Also, about acting skills. Allure kind of helps a bit with that, but that's definitely a good idea. Oh, I have a plan for him to take the throne of heaven lol.
A little spoiler, but yes, as I said, if it benefits him, he will act and gaining the throne of heaven would defo benefit him, so you can expect some appearances as a masked angel where he does good things for his benefit.
desropter: One for all boosts the strength of the user. So, it would just boost his strength by a level or so.
alergarzurpc: good idea thank you.
SirAlphonso: He doesn't want to be dragged into the angel faction. Not yet, He wants to be free.
Nomen Rider: Yes he is currently low-ultimate class.
daneanderson2011: He just entered a new world, he didn't even know he had wings at that point.
Dclago: defo a good idea.
Master Of The Judgement Nut End: Why don't you fuck off, out of my fanfic? His main ability is to download. He isn't just going to stay within the realm of dxd, that's stupid. Take your Naruto hate boner somewhere else.
Nastadoa: thanks.
ZeroSpearow: I have plans but yes, he will be able to stop angels from falling. It won't be hard with the system shop and when he ascends the realm of angels.
Polybenantony07: it's a large vault, what's he going to do to fly it out? It would have been troublesome to destroy it. He barely broke it apart with chakra.
ruelt99: idk man lol, he annoys me so much and akeno with rias has been into many fics for me to like anymore.
Nivek Beldo: I have plans for Ravel since she will become obsessed with him, let's just say, as he makes more appearances.
branphillips001: I read through all this and I find it very intriguing. Kai was just a simple name, but he has got an angel name. I will say, since we haven't explored his parentage, it's more of a human name. I've started to go with him acting like a true angel. I don't know if you saw, but he's gaining an "instinct" this will affect him a lot in the future and his morals are already fucked, so he won't resist it.
I'm adding a few more, but they will be the main ones. They will have a rivalry as they fall in love with the mc.
DeathKingAzrael: You already saw through the plot haha, yes there were devil's guards. Well, with the goblin girl, he wants a maid to do his shit because he's lazy, and he's kind of a horny bastard deep inside, but his trauma is holding it back for now, let's say. Glad you enjoyed it. I was exhausted when I finished the last chapter, so there were many spelling mistakes.
Also, good ideas for recommendations.
ah08302004: good idea.
disastrouspride: He did it more out of retaliation, but he did hesitate. He won't go around killing everyone, don't worry, but he won't be good. Sorry I'm so sick of hero fics that let the mc get bitched on by everyone, so he won't be saving everyone without a reason.
I did wonder about letting them live and him taking it over, but ultimately, it just didn't work.
RaizenKing: ooo yes good idea.
