Chereads / DxD: Rise Of Sloth / Chapter 24 - Ch22 Dragon hunter

Chapter 24 - Ch22 Dragon hunter

Hello there, yes I'm alive and the fic isn't dropped yet XD.

So I was just minding my own business till I got online on webnovel and saw a 1 star review on the fic.

Thought what I did wrong for someone to do that online to see that it says please update the fic.

And time sure flies fast, didn't know the last chapter I uploaded was around 20 days ago.

So yeah I might have forgotten that I had a fic. Anyway here's your chapter and sorry for the delay.

As for this chapters question,

What are the most overrated anime that you can think of? With reason ofcourse.

Now let's hop on to this chapter.

-----------------------------------------

After Roy had broken free from the dream world that Vermeil had created, he noticed that he was still sleeping on Snorlax's shoulder and nothing had seemed to be amiss.

And from the looks of it, it seemed like no one had noticed anything which proved the theory about the dream world being Vermeil's job to be true.

After all creating a dream world like that required a lot of skill which made Vermeil the only possible candidate of doing so.

Arriving at the location that he sensed Vermeil's aura, they were met by the figure of Vermeil standing alongside another person, awaiting them.

The said person had the appearance of a beautiful woman with straight and long beautiful pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a cold atmosphere that radiates from her beauty.

But the most notable thing that caught Roy's attention was her big personality, a simple glance was enough for him to be sure that they made good pillows.

Noticing the look that was being given to her, the figure could only sigh while Vermeil seemed to be smiling smugly about something.

"Sigh... it seems like I lost the bet."

As she said that, a blue portal appeared beside her and she took out a few boxes of gold and jewelleries and gave them to Vermeil which she accepted shamelessly.

Roy coughed slightly to gain their attention, which made Vermeil remember that they didn't know the woman that was standing beside her.

"Right, Roy let me introduce you to my old friend, the one and only chaos karma dragon, Tiamat."

Roy once again looked at Tiamat's Bossoms and gave a thumbs up to Vermeil as if approving that such a person was her friend.

"So this is the person you're serving... at first glance he doesn't look that impressive but since I saw him passing the test you made for him, I can say he's the real deal."

She then walked closer to them and approached Roy, her gaze studying him before her eyes fell on his familiar.

"Oh? so you managed to make contract with that one, colour me impressed."

Vermeil's curiosity was also piqued, so she too decided to observe Roy's familiar which was sleeping from the moment they arrived here.

The said friend was a familiar that had the same hobby as Roy, which was sleeping.

'As expected of him, he did find a familiar that has the same hobby as him. Birds of feather flock together I guess.' Vermeil thought to herself.

She then turned her attention to Roy "So you're not going to ask why I did that to you?"

"Not really, if you did it then it had to be for a good reason so there's no need for me to question you about it."

The thing that Roy said made Vermeil's heart felt warm since her contractor was telling her that he trusted so much that he wouldn't even question her action.

A smile appeared on her lips as she grabbed Roy and hugged him, making sure that he would be strangled between her breasts.

"Since when did you grow up this much to say something like that?"

Of course Roy didn't care about suffocating between her breasts as he was sure many would pay a lot just to feel like this once in their life.

So he simply accepted the hug and let his face be submerged in her large personality.

"I just said what came to my mind. Anyway what's up with the bet that you two talked about?"

Vermeil ended the hug and released Roy from her embrace "About that, Tiamat was kinda shocked that I was serving another being, especially a demon who's a child on top of that."

"And to prove that my judgement was right, I decided to make a test for you, on top of that we decided to bet on your ability to see whether you could pass the test or not."

"Sigh.. If you didn't pass the test, then I would have gained a lot of treasures from her." Tiamat growled while looking at her own collection that she had given Vermeil.

Roy eyed Vermeil's spoils from the bet and an idea formed in his mind.

"Dont you think that it's kinda unfair that you won something thanks to using me while not giving me anything?"

"I would have given you all of those golds if you just asked for it, no need to say it like that."

"I really don't care about those, what I meant is that since the bet resolved around me it would only be fair that I could also ask something from the loser of the bet. Think of it as the house fee for betting."

"Sure why not."

Tiamat had considered what Roy said and saw that he kind of had a point and logic to what he said.

And while he was a devil, he was still just a child so the most he could ask for would be something childish or even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be something that she couldn't do, hence why she agreed to the young devils request.

A smile formed on Roy's face as she agreed with him, which would be perceived as an innocent one by anyone that didn't know him.

'Such a cute and bright smile just for that? I better apologise later for asking Vermeil to test him.' Tiamat thought to herself as she couldn't feel a single hint of malic from the young devil.

"Form a contract with me."

Satouji who had just arrived and caught up with them, reached on time to hear what Roy said and his jaw dropped from shock.

After all who was brave and bold enough to ask the great chaos karma dragon to form a contract with them?

"..." Everyone fell silent and only the snores of snorlax could be heard.

Meanwhile Vermeil began to laugh once again while Tiamat was frowning as the portal from before appeared and she gave more gold than before to give Vermeil again.

Roy raised a brow as he watched the exchange which looked like a loan shark taking money from their victims

"You guys had another bet going on?"

"Yep. The other bet was about whether would you ask her to serve you or form a contract with you, which as you can see you already know the result."

'So Vermeil planned all of this to get all of those treasures from Tiamat, didn't know she was greedy for such things but I guess it's natural since she's also a dragon.'

"And to rub salt on the wound, she agreed to accept your request to form a contract if she lost both of the bets."

'While Vermeil's plan is a concrete one, it would have probably failed if this world's intelligence didn't fall on the low side.'

Tiamat sighed and didn't make a fuss about it and approached Roy, planning to go on with her promise to make a contract with him.

She drew her hand forward which Roy took it and as he did, the magic circle of the Belphegor family appeared on her hand for a brief moment.

As the magic circle disappeared, a small mark similar to a tattoo took it in place and sealed the contract between the two of them.

'Second dragon gained. Maybe I have a talent for this, should I go and catch every dragon I find?'

As the contract was sealed, Roy eyes widened as he felt a strange connection between himself and Tiamat, more than that he could feel a new source of power awakening inside him.

The power felt different from what he gained from Vermeil or the ones that he gained from his devilish side.

"Surprised? since you became my contractor it's only fair to share some of my power with you to make sure nothing happens to you."

'I feel like there's more to it then she's telling but sure.'

And as Roy had thought, there was more to it. Tiamat didn't share her powers with him for mo reason, rather she had a good reason and that was her pride.

As dragons are prideful beings, they simply cannot let go of what belongs to them and since Roy already had access to the powers of Vermeil aka the great red, to not fall short against another dragon, Tiamat thought that it was a good idea to give some of her powers to him.

Roy bowed politely towards Tiamat as he buttered her up and thanked her for the power she had given him, making her mood raise up and a smirk appear on her face as she looked at Vermeil.

Vermeil only could shook her head and snort as she knew that Tiamat had fallen for her plans on making Roy just stronger.

Not only did she make Roy stronger, but she also gave him a new set of pillows that she was sure he would appreciate.

Truly the best girl.

------------------------------------

Meanwhile, as Roy was busy enjoying his new powers and more importantly his new set of pillows, in a dark room a certainpink haired girl was praying to a portrait that was Infront of her.

The room was dimly lit thanks to the light that came from the candles.

If one looked around the room to see what's in it, they would be shocked and more importantly scared for their life.

The room was adorned by numerous and different pictures of a certain young devil, each taken with high precision and diligence to draw the best image of the said person.

The portrait that the girl was praying was drawn of the same boy in the pictures, the only difference was that the devil looked older and more noble in the portrait.

"Ahh~ my darling looks as mesmerising as ever." The girl said with a hint of blush on her face as she watched the portrait.

suddenly she felt a jolt of electricity going through her body as if something was wrong.

"I feel disturbance in the force..."

------------------------------------------

And that's it for this chapter. By the way, about the novel I'm writing, thanks to a friend the art for few characters (waifus mostly) are ready and I quit like the end result.

Will probably upload it in a week or two after I'm done with rewriting and editing the chapters.

Anyway, like always take care of yourself and don't forget to kys.

Bye bye~
