Chereads / Highschool DxD : Johan's Dark Awakening / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The lonely girl and the restless world

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The lonely girl and the restless world

[Ding, the new game 'Kirby' has been loaded, please start playing the game! ]

At this moment, the normal system prompt sound appeared. Johan glanced at the virtual board that suddenly appeared, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

In addition to normal practice, the new game is now loaded.

After dinner is ready, let's go play the game all night.

Johan looked at the time on the clock on the wall of the living room, then got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

He opened the game interface of his system and activated the secondary occupation resident games, which were games that did not require completion and required leisure time to cultivate.

He opened the farm that was developed by some Antarctic evil beast in his previous life, opened the fish pond and pasture, took out all the animals raised therein, and put them into the space backpack.

"Today we eat fish and fish soup, that's you, the puffer whale!"

The puffer whale is also a creature from the world of Gourmet Captives, with a hunting level of 29. If poisoning is not taken into account, the hunting level is 1. It was originally a large cetacean, but later due to the influence of the living environment, its body was compressed to the size of a pufferfish. However, its deliciousness is concentrated from the original flavor of the whale. Because of the concentration, the toxins in its body are also concentrated to form poison sacs. It lays eggs every 10 years in clear water.

The pufferfish meat materialized using the fantasy food tablecloth does not need to have its compressed toxins removed.

"Da da da——" the cooking knife moved up and down quickly on the sticky board.

As a versatile person in daily life, Johan is as good as anyone in this world in cooking.

He stewed the fish to bring out its delicious texture.

"Gurgle—Gurgle—"

The sound of boiling water was heard.

Yam, corn, kelp, black beans, winter melon...

After Johan had processed the various ingredients used to enhance the flavor, he began to put them into the pot and cook them. The rich aroma soon wafted out.

There was still a lot of fish meat left, so Johan fried it directly into a frying pan, then poured in the seasonings and oil he had extracted from plant-based fantasy ingredients and started cooking.

The gradually mature puffer fish meat suddenly exuded a dazzling golden light, and the irresistible fragrance was inhaled into the nasal cavity by Johan, who was swallowing his saliva wildly. A comfortable smile bloomed on Johan's face.

Only when he cooks can he feel a little happier physically and mentally.

Finally, pour his special sauce on it and today's dinner is ready.

A whole plate of puffer whale dishes was placed on the table, and the other dishes were also served.

The crystal clear puffer whale meat slices, coupled with the tempting sauce, are extremely fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Give me a bowl of golden rice..."

Johan had just prepared his dinner and his own system when a calm and gentle voice came from the side of the dining table. It was an unfamiliar voice.

He subconsciously handed over the golden rice presented to the system, and his small, jade-white hands also took the bowl of rice handed over by Johan

Johan's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly turned into an extremely stiff polite smile. He did not let go of the bowl of rice handed over, and kept the posture of passing and receiving the bowl of rice to the beautiful girl with white hair and golden eyes who suddenly appeared at his dining table.

The other person was also sitting at the dining table and grabbed the fragrant rice handed to her by Johan. The girl raised her holy and seemingly dull golden eyes from the rice to look at Johan, and looked into his pale blue eyes without any hesitation.

Then, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and Johan's expression changed from a stiff smile to a blank expression. The domineering thunder energy in his body was secretly activated, and his pair of blue eyes filled with vigilance flashed with lightning as he stared at the girl in front of him with a delicate and dreamy face.

Pull~pull~

The other person's dainty jade hand grabbed the rice bowl and gently pulled it back. Her golden eyes were like beautiful holy light, pure and holy.

The girl looked at Johan without any malice in her eyes. Although her expression was flat, being stared at by those eyes gave Johan an inexplicable feeling of warmth and security.

It was as if a pair of gentle hands were soothing the vigilance in his heart, trying to make him unconsciously relax towards the girl.

But this time, Johan was not affected by the other party's inexplicable temperament at all. He kept urging himself in his heart not to let his guard down.

Johan first let go of the rice bowl with an expressionless face. The other party also held chopsticks and bowl in both hands, blinking his beautiful golden eyes and looking at him.

Those beautiful golden eyes seemed to be able to speak, asking Johan, "Can I start?"

"...Can you please introduce yourself?"

This was the first question Johan asked. Since the girl suddenly appeared in his house quietly, it proved that she was difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and Johan was unwilling to have a conflict with someone he didn't know his own limits.

When the girl heard this, a hint of sadness seemed to flash across her golden eyes as she looked at Johan. She looked straight at Johan as if she was observing something.

Johan felt uncomfortable under the other party's explicit gaze, as if he was completely exposed under the other party's gaze.

Just when he was about to be unable to bear the other party's gaze, the girl suddenly stopped and looked at Johan, bit her pink lips slightly, and whispered to Johan:

"...My name is...kasugano, and I am a wandering soul."

kasugano, the wandering soul! ?

Johan felt that both introductions seemed to be something the other party had come up with on the spur of the moment to fool him, but the latter one, the wandering soul, was half true and half false. After all, the system had previously said that the girl's existence was a special soul.

Speaking of the system, there was a sudden stranger at home and they didn't even alert him! ?

[Hey, well... I was so focused on the food you cooked that I didn't notice this guy secretly followed me into the house...]

(What a low-level system, you idiot! Now, how should I deal with this ignorant guy? Can you find out his background?!)

[Yes, I can, but now that I am incomplete, I can detect others at will. It's okay if the opponent is not strong, but if the opponent is the top strength in the world, it will be easy for others to discover my existence. Johan, you decide whether to detect the opponent. If you die, I will die with you.]

(Your words seem quite touching, but why do I feel like you're going to die with me? Like you're going to drag me down with you to be buried with you!?)

Johan had a blank expression on his face, but in fact he was thinking a lot. He gave the middle finger to his own unreliable system in times of crisis.

[How could that be? You and I are of one mind, and neither of us will be well off if something happens to us. They are listening to you and are trying to detect the other party. If the other party discovers my existence and shows ill will, and you and I cannot resist, I will directly use emergency measures to take you across the world!]

(Okay, let's not explore yet. I feel relieved with the escape route you provided. Let's talk to this guy first.)

Johan looked at the girl's shining eyes staring at the food on the table, took a deep breath and said:

"We'll talk about other things later. I'll treat you, the uninvited guy, as a guest. Let's eat first."

Hearing this, the girl's face lit up, and she immediately started to eat the delicious food on the table with her bowl and chopsticks.

She didn't look embarrassed at all, as if she didn't consider herself an outsider, and ate the dinner made by Johan elegantly and quickly.

Johan was alert and started eating quickly. He couldn't let this guy eat all the dinner he made.

Even if the other person is an extremely beautiful girl, it won't work. Saying that she is a beauty is a feast to the eyes has no effect on Johan.

What's the point of being able to see but not eat?

Besides, looking at this girl's petite, delicate and cute appearance, she doesn't look like someone who can...eat...at all.

While eating, Johan looked at the girl who was eating the delicious fish like a little squirrel. He cleared half of the food on the table, and the rest was cleared up by the girl.

[Wuwuwu, shut up, that was clearly the food that Johan made for me. If I wasn't so weak, I would have accepted you, the evil creature who dared to steal my food!!]

The system in his body also didn't get to have dinner because of this guy, and it had to watch miserably as its host shared food with a stranger. It could only mutter and curse others alone in Johan's body.

"It's delicious. Thank you for the treat. I appreciate it very much."

After dinner, the two sat opposite each other in the living room.

Looking at the girl opposite him thanking him calmly with an expressionless face, with some food crumbs at the corner of her mouth, this look combined with her expression gave people a silly and cute feeling.

Although Johan was wary of the other party, his intuition told him that this beautiful girl who suddenly appeared seemed to have no ill intentions.

"You've finished your meal, can you tell me why you came to my house?"

Johan stared calmly into the other person's eyes and asked his question.

The girl, who introduced herself as Kasuga Sei, had a pair of calm and gentle golden eyes that flickered with light. She looked directly into Johan's eyes without any stage fright and said:

"I have no ill will towards you. I came to your house to confirm an important matter. Now that I have confirmed that nothing has gone wrong, I have an important matter to do next."

"Oh, can you tell me what it is and what you want to do next?"

Johan was obviously not satisfied with the answer of Kasuga Saint Riddler. Apart from the first sentence that he had no ill will towards her, which needed to be considered, he did not say anything important.

Buzz!

In response to Johan's detailed questioning, kasugano did not answer the other party. The light in his eyes became more and more terrifying, and tens of thousands of spells flashed in his golden eyes.

Then, in Johan's shocked sight, the petite girl in front of him began to grow rapidly. The small front armor became huge, and the delicate and dreamy face became more mature, appearing graceful and noble, sacred and inviolable.

The warm light particles released from his body surrounded Johan and the drastically changed kasugano. Johan wanted to move quickly, but he found that his consciousness could no longer control his body.

Johan was surrounded by these warm light particles, and in a trance he seemed to hear beautiful singing that soothed the pain and anger deep in his heart.

"■■'s cause and effect are all in the present. This way I will grow up with you. I am so happy..."

Warm and comfortable light particles poured into Johan's body, causing his body to float uncontrollably. A gentle and loving voice seemed to come to his ears, soothing his lonely heart. kasugano, whose appearance had become sacred and noble, looked at Johan and smiled softly.

Her beautiful and perfect figure gradually became illusory, and then she slowly flew towards Johan, opening her arms in the air and gently hugging him.

A soft touch, a warm embrace, and an intoxicating fragrance; this is how Johan felt when he was hugged by the kasugano who had changed drastically in appearance.

His sight seemed to be blocked by a warm light, making the objects in his vision a little blurry. Johan vaguely saw the face of the delicate and dreamy Kasuga Saint approaching him, and the pair of golden eyes were looking directly at him with a hot and inexplicable emotion.

An inexplicable feeling of relaxation came over Johan, making him relax unconsciously. He forgot his worries and hatred, and then he fell asleep peacefully with his body and mind relaxed.

In the outside world where Johan fell asleep, the girl kasugano completely transformed into warm light and merged into Johan's body.

The moment his body lost the unknown force that supported it and landed on the ground, a complex and mysterious golden magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground, with the center of the circle being the unconscious Johan himself.

*********

After the unidentified and mysterious kasugano merged into Johan's body, some huge causal gears in this world began to officially start moving.

In the dark corners of the world unknown to humans, all the powerful people who could be ranked among the top frowned, and a feeling of fear emerged in their hearts for no reason, and their bodies, which were such special beings, shivered unconsciously.

"What on earth is going on with this nauseating feeling?!"

The top practitioners in the East call this feeling a whim, and it can be good or bad.

Countless ordinary strong people with extraordinary powers do not have this feeling. Only the world's top strong people have this feeling. Their intuition is very close to the high-level intuition, or revelation, in Type-Moon.

This was a very bad revelation for them, but they could not find the root cause of the bad news, so they raised questions.

The New Demon King's Castle is located in the underworld of the human world and is the city where demons live.

"You feel that way too, don't you, Ajuka?"

Sirzechs Lucifer, the leader of the four trusted devil lords of the underworld, sat in front of a table with black tea. He looked at his good friend Ajeka Beelzebub, who was also one of the four devil lords, and they saw the bad emotions in each other's eyes.

The two were drinking tea and chatting about the political affairs of the underworld demons, but suddenly they felt a bad premonition.

The attractive-looking man sitting at Sirzechs' desk, Ajuka Beelzebub , nodded silently in response to his friend.

As the two of them who have surpassed the demon race, their strength is naturally extraordinary, but feeling this inexplicable chill really makes the demons feel a little uneasy.

"Come here, tell the spies stationed in his realm to check if there are any strange things that cannot be ignored!"

"Yes, Your Majesty Lucifer!"

A senior demon guard responded, and then a magic teleportation circle appeared under his feet. With a flash of magic power, he disappeared.

"This inexplicable feeling of fear is really annoying, but I can't ignore it."

Ajeka agreed with his friend's statement that this kind of feeling from strong people like them really cannot be ignored.

Sirzechs's azure eyes were brewing blood-red fluctuations of destructive magic, and his sight seemed to penetrate the barriers of the underworld and look at something deeper.

*********

"This feeling is like a revelation. Could it be that there is a rebellious son who wants to usurp my position as the Divine King!?"

On Mount Olympus, a middle-aged man dressed in classic Greek attire and with a muscular body also had a bad expression on his face.

Zeus had just finished an anaerobic exercise with the beauty that was beneficial to his body and mind. While chewing on the golden apple, he also felt this fucking feeling.

Zeus attributed this feeling to the fact that some unruly people or rebellious sons wanted to usurp his position as the King of Gods of Mount Olympus.

After all, this old bitch, who has no restrictions on what she eats, including both men and women, and even livestock, has countless children.

The relationship between men and women in their Olympian pantheon is chaotic, and the position of the King of Gods is also cursed by the fatherly love and the filial piety of his sons.

Zeus's father usurped his grandfather's position, and he, Zeus, usurped the position his father fought for.

Look, do you think this pantheon is filial or chaotic?

Moreover, even his own brothers are somewhat dissatisfied with him because of his position as the God King. His position as the God King has always been coveted by other beings, and there are many people who want to pull him down from the throne.

"Alas~ There are always some villains who want to murder me! As long as I am alive, you can only sit in the position you belong to for the rest of your life!"

A hint of ferocious divine power flashed in Zeus's eyes with black sclera and white pupils. The inviolable and majestic fluctuations of divine power shocked the gods on Mount Olympus, causing those who were frightened by Zeus's momentum to wonder why this lsp suddenly got angry.

What do you mean by implicating us by releasing your aura?!

The Dragon Realm is a world inhabited by countless legendary dragons. It is also a Western fantasy world that is no different from the human world. There used to be gods in this world, but some of them were killed by the dragons, and the remaining gods were all expelled from this world.

If there are any gods in this world that humans have the impression of, they are undoubtedly dragon gods.

An old man with a long beard and a pair of cold orange-red vertical pupils, and a feathered serpent whose body is big enough to circle the earth, both sensed something.

Located in the dimensional rift and constantly traveling here, the colors of the dimensional rift seem like countless colors blended together, appearing extremely enchanting.

The huge red dragon that guards the world is over 100 meters long, a size that cannot be ignored.

Its appearance is also that of a typical Western dragon, with sharp fangs and a proudly erect horn, and a powerful dragon body covered with red dragon scales.

Suddenly, the dragon among dragons sensed something from the Great Red Guardian and the main world with which it had a close connection.

"I always feel that something that cannot be ignored is on the right track and has begun..."

With its wings spread, the huge red dragon eyes gazed at the main world. It had the most profound feelings and knew that something that could not be ignored was beginning to happen in the world it was protecting.

In the main world, where the Group of Disaster is located, this organization brings together many dangerous elements. The nominal leader and symbol is the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus.

The terrorist organization, the Group of Disaster, is actually composed of dangerous elements from many forces. The most famous are the old devil lord faction, and the hero faction composed of descendants with heroic blood and holders of the God-Destroying Tool.

The leader of the old demon lord faction is a certain demon who is a pleasure criminal and a terrorist named Rezevim Levian Lucifer.

The leader of the human hero faction is Cao Cao, the descendant of a certain thief Cao and the holder of the Holy Spear of Dusk, the God-killer.

The ones who really have the final say are these two, and Orpheus is just an ATM that provides power.

Their awe was only awe of Orpheus' power.

The underground temple is a little cold and dark, with only sporadic candlelight emitting light around it, bringing a glimmer of light to the temple.

Inside the lookout temple, there are stone pillars everywhere that are used to bear the weight of the ground above, and there are probably hundreds of them.

Each stone pillar is engraved with the pattern of ouroboros, representing infinite cycle.

This is the temple dedicated to Orpheus, the mascot of the Misfortune Group.

This cute little dragon, who seemed extremely innocent, did not mind the unchanging dark environment around it and sat upright on the stone chair in the center of the temple.

This delicate girl, who looks like a black elf, has long jet-black hair draped behind her. Her delicate and beautiful face is lifeless, and her fair and flawless skin is like jade.

Those deep and emotionless eyes suddenly sensed something strange, and the little head looked around in the temple like a cute little kitten.

"It's a strange feeling. It doesn't feel like it's coming from the annoying Great Red..."

The cute little dragon started talking to herself, and when she talked about the great red that dragons hated, her calm and peaceful voice also became lively.

Finally, after the little cute dragon used his huge perception to explore without any results, he returned to his dazed state.

The only thing she had to do in the Disaster Group was to stay here as a dragon and provide her snakes to the members of the Disaster Group.

The simple little cute dragon never bothered to think about these losers who couldn't even beat her, why could they defeat the Great Red that she hated just by gathering more of them.

....

"What a huge causal chain. What kind of causal relationship is this..."

In other places in the vast underworld, the wind in the middle of the night seemed to carry a hint of coolness, but it was a bit deserted in this dark corner.

There are many races living in the underworld, including fallen angels, demons, undead, ghosts, etc.

Therefore, this plane bordering the human world is also very large.

This is a deserted ruin filled with pitch-black death aura. Any living being that comes into contact with it will die. Even the undead will lose consciousness and become a zombie-like being if they come into contact with the death aura.

Almost no one would come to such a place like a death place, but there was a fantasy-like beautiful girl who ignored the deathly aura like black mist floating around her and sat on a piece of rubble, holding a huge sickle tightly in her arms.

The unconscious death energy around all subconsciously avoided the girl and could not get within five meters around her body.

The expressionless girl has dreamy long silver-white hair that flutters in the deathly wind around her. Her petite body is wearing protective gloves and plate armor, like a cosplay costume.

Her long silver hair sparkled beautifully, and her blue pupils were like gemstones. Her entire existence seemed like an exquisite doll-like girl. Her childish and delicate appearance had a dignified and noble temperament.

In this desolate and dangerous place, she seemed to be the only beautiful sight here, shining brightly in the dark ruins around her.

She is Eucliwood Hellscythe, a necromancer with mysterious magical powers, and her race belongs to the underworld.

Her strength is considered to be among the best in the world, and her body stores super magic that can distort the world. She is usually taciturn because the magic in her body can make what she says come true and affect the people around her (what she says = indiscriminate attack).

Therefore, he spoke in pamphlets instead of words, and only spoke when giving instructions or expressing extremely intense emotions.

She has been using the plate armor [Silence Ban] on her body to suppress her own power. Even so, her emotional fluctuations will still affect her magic and cause "changes in fate", thus affecting the surroundings. Therefore, people who know her well call her "the center of everything."

She stayed in this deserted place because she wanted to avoid some guys who were annoying her.

As mentioned before, her power is enormous, an extraordinary power enough to affect the world and even the fate of all living beings. However, this power became out of her control one day. Unable to control her own power, she became the object of greed and fear for other forces.

The greed is because of Eucliwood's enormous power. If he can take it for himself, he can reach the top level in this world in one step. Even after the girl's death, her enormous power still exists, so she is hunted by various forces.

Although Eucliwood has strong magic power and her blood contains the magic power that makes people immortal, it cannot change the fact that she is a necromancer. If she is seriously injured and cannot be treated, she will die.

The forces in this world have many ways to kill this being with extremely serious power imbalance.

However, Eucliwood's power is not so easy to obtain. There are many people who covet her power, but there are also many people who fear her instability.

If this girl's power were allowed to run wild, it would be a disaster enough to destroy the entire world. No one would be able to bear this worst-case scenario.

Therefore, forces that are not sure of seizing superior power will never act rashly. Only those who are desperate for power will ignore the side effects of superior power going out of control and still try to seize it.

But this has become a vicious circle. If you can successfully seize her power, it is your ability, but if you dare to cause the power of Yu to run wild in the underworld or other worlds, then wouldn't all races in the world be buried with her! ?

That is something that the various forces living in this world will never allow. Therefore, there are some beings who desire the other party's power but are very rational and will protect Eucliwood, not because of her power, but because they want to protect the world they live in from the danger of the other party's power going out of control.

This girl is a hot potato for any force in this world. Because they are afraid of the instability of the power of the superior, other planes bordering the main world are not very happy about this bomb that may explode at any time coming to their own world.

So until today she is still a lonely person, and has to face the pursuit of some blind lunatics from time to time. She is unwelcome anywhere in the world, even in her hometown, the underworld. Although many people respect her, most of them are wary of her.

Today, as she was about to fall asleep hugging the Hell Scythe as a pillow, she suddenly sensed a new destiny line in the world that was so huge that she was shocked.

Eucliwood , whose enormous magical power is enough to influence the fate of others, can more deeply understand what it feels like to suddenly have a huge causal alien in the world than other people's intuition and premonition.

This made her lose all desire to sleep.

"The causal lines of the entire world combined are not as huge as this. The world cannot give birth to an existence with such a huge causal relationship. Could it be an alien from outside the world?"

Sizzle!

A huge and unstable magical wave was shaking the body of this delicate and petite silver-haired girl. The magic power, which was as bottomless as an abyss, turned into a wave that was enough to affect reality and shook the fate of some unlucky people in the underworld.

Beings that could have grown normally died prematurely, demons that could have successfully broken through the realm of power suddenly became possessed and died, the medicinal garden that was planted with precious spiritual creatures suddenly became a mess, and so on...

This is why this beautiful girl is called the center of the world. Simply because the other person's emotions cause fluctuations in her own huge magic power, it directly affects the fate of others and the world.

This is because Eucliwood was wearing plate armor [Silence Ban] to suppress his own power, otherwise the consequences would be far more than this.

This heavy and uncontrollable force caused You a lot of pain, but she had to bear it alone.

"Hmm..."

The unstable emotions caused the huge amount of magic power in the body to run wild. You frowned, and a look of pain flashed in his ice-blue sapphire eyes. A jade hand holding a giant sickle supported his little head.

The pain from the raging magic power seemed to turn into millions of sharp needles, constantly piercing her little head like a violent storm. If an ordinary person were to experience such pain, he would probably suffer a mental breakdown and die from the pain.

However, she had no way of speaking out her pain. She could only endure the intense pain of the magic riot and the severe headache to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

After a while, Eucliwood forced herself to calm down while enduring the pain, and the huge power riot also subsided under her insignificant control.

[Perhaps if I find this existence whose causal line is larger than mine, I will be able to control my power...]

Eucliwood pursed his pale lips gently, took out the small notebook he used to communicate with others, turned the Hell Scythe in his arms into a writing pen, and wrote down his thoughts alone.

The girl was very curious about this sudden existence. The causal line was larger than the center of her own world, so it was definitely not an ordinary existence.

So I hold on to a little hope and want to rely on the other party to solve my problems.

And because of her magic riot just now, her location must have been sensed by some guys. She couldn't stay in this place any longer and had to move to another place to continue wandering.

Eucliwood put away his little notebook, turned the writing pen back into the Hell Scythe, and left the place.
