Hello there, Skylinemaster here with another installment of Servant of the Leviathan

"Speech."

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Highschool DxD.


"Where are we with our forces?"

Lord Asmodeus asked Lady Leviathan as I stood in the room.

"We have mobilized our supporters, but they are currently spread out throughout the Underworld. It will take time to gather all our forces in one place without drawing suspicion and attention."

Lord Asmodeus nodded at this, and then looked at me.

"He is one of your most trustworthy men?"

He asked of Lady Leviathan regarding me.

"I would trust him with my life."

Lord Asmodeus smiled at this.

"Perhaps we should look into alternate sources of manpower."

"What do you mean?"

Lady Leviathan asked him with a confused look on her face.

"Beside Devils. Monsters are often very loosely organized, and the disappearance of a coven of Vampires and a nest of Werewolves will fly under the radar, but they will swell our army."

"You know I don't like going out of house for our forces. Too many variables when dealing with outsiders."

My master looks worried at the thought of having outsiders in our forces. It's understandable as they are liabilities to us pure Devils.

"I know that there are risks Katerea, but we need to use the monsters. They will prove to be a valuable asset to us."

My master pondered this and then sighed.

"Good. Issei, I'm putting you in charge of gathering forces from the various pantheons of mythology."

I nodded at this.

"About how many should I get into our army?"

I asked as I wondered what big target we are going to use these forces to attack. The size and importance of the place will dictate the amount of forces necessary to conquer the place.

"At least a thousand. If you can find more, great."

Creuserey said as I thought about this.

"What about strays?"

My master and Lord Asmodeus made a sour face at this. They stared at each other before nodding.

"They are simply means to an end, take them in."

My master said.

"When should I have this army assembled by?"

I asked.

Lady Leviathan whispered something into Lord Asmodeus's ear, and he glanced at me and nodded.

"Next Tuesday."

Okay, five days then.

Let's do this.


I smiled as I entered a shady strip club in the heart of Paris' red light district.

Normally I'd be in Japan due to school, but I called in sick with a very bad case of the flu. It should cover me from suspicion from the Gremory or Sitri heiresses as to why I am absent from school during the gathering of the army.

Intelligence reported that this club is the location of a nest of Sirens. Sirens are female-only monsters that lure men to their deaths by charming and then eating them. What could be a better cover than a shady strip club, where the dead men won't have anyone looking for them?

I took a seat at a table, and it wasn't long before I was approached by a Siren. She was a beautiful person, creamy white skin, black eyes, and black hair with a charming smile that would melt many men's heart. Not mine though.

"Want to have a good time?" She asked me in French.

I nodded and followed her into a private room on the second floor.

I sat down on the seat as she locked the door behind her.

Her face was less than a foot away from my face as she smiled.

Her black eyes flared a bright pink for a second, that is their way of charming men.

"Not going to work, Siren."

I leaped out of my seat and punched her in the face, sending her crashing through a wall into the main room.

I heard the music outside stop as I left the room.

The strippers went off their poles and have surrounded me. There are currently nine angry Siren strippers in front of me.

"You shouldn't have come here, Devil."

The one who addressed me stepped forward, and she is wearing a slutty nurse outfit for some reason.

"You must be the leader. I have an offer to make you Sirens."

A look of confusion appeared on the slutty nurse.

"What kind of offer?"

She asked hesitatingly.

"Here's the deal. You will be part of my army, or I will kill all of you right here on the spot. You know the differences in our power. Save yourself a bloodbath."

Sirens aren't magical creatures and can't cast teleportation spells, so they can't escape me. Sirens are weak compared to Devils, so even though I am outnumbered, I can take them all down without much effort.

The leader gritted her teeth as she looked at the other Siren strippers.

"Fine."

She pushed out of her mouth painfully.

"Good. Don't even think about trying to go back on our agreement. I've cast a tracking spell on all of you. You try to run, I will torture and then kill you."

I said with a smile as I made my way to the door. The semi-circle of strippers parted like the Red Sea for me as I kept eye contact with them.

"By the way, sorry about the mess."


I smiled as I heard footsteps to my back.

I am currently in currently in Crete, the ancient city of Knossos to be specific. I am in the underground Labyrinth, the same Labyrinth that Theseus killed the Minotaur in.

That's where the myth becomes fiction though. Theseus killed a Minotaur, but there were others that resided there. They bred and bred, and right now, I am facing some of their descendants. Specifically, I am facing the leader of the pack that resides here, with the rest of the pack surrounding us in a circle.

"You Devil think you can beat me?"

It roared as I smiled.

"I know I can beat you, then I'll command your herd."

It snarled at me, charging at me with the massive axe.

I dodged the blow and punched the Minotaur in the stomach before kicking it in the right leg.

That stunned it, causing the Minotaur to fly into a rage and try to gore me to death with the horns on its head.

I side stepped the charge and punched the Minotaur in the back.

I jumped on the Minotaur's back and repeatedly punched the Minotaur in the back of the head.

The Minotaur struggled to buck me off its back as I continued punching it in the back of the head.

I grabbed one of the Minotaur's horns and snapped it off as it cried out in pain, before jamming it in the back of the head.

The Minotaur slumped over as I got off it.

I just killed the pack leader, causing an eerie silence to come over the place.

I looked around to see the other Minotaurs, to see if they would attack me.

There were thirty or so Minotaurs gathered around me, each with a different expression on its' face.

"I killed your leader, you will follow me now or die."

No one moved after I declared this, until one Minotaur bowed down to me, and then another. All of them started to bow until everyone around me was bowing.

Ah, it is good being the pack leader of Minotaurs.


With my European tour done, I decided to go to Asia to recruit some Yokai. One of our contacts managed to set up a meeting with a very powerful Yokai leader, and that is where I am now.

I tapped my foot in this abandoned warehouse in the middle of the night as I waited for my contact's Yokai leader.

I am in Shuri, Okinawa and my contact is the leader of all the Yokai in the local area.

I felt a sudden temperature increase as flames materialized in front of me.

The person currently in front of me is Inari, a male Kitsune in a business suit and tie. He is in his late forties in appearance and has two bodyguards with him, both also in suits. He has slicked back gray hair, pitch black eyes, and is smoking a cigar. Very mobster like in his appearance.

His strength is something that is radiating from his body. At least High-Class in power. I must tread carefully with this person.

"Issei is it? You are the envoy from the Old Satan Faction?"

He said after taking a puff from his cigar. I grimaced when he said old.

"Technically yes. I heard about your situation from associate. Do tell, is that what you want to do?"

The situation I'm talking about is an unfortunate situation with a Devil and a few Nekomatas under his care.

Some of these "nobles" in our society feel that having a title gives you the right to do anything that you want to do. The noble in question is a member of the Dantalion clan, and he raped a few Nekomatas while he was here.

Inari heard about it, and killed the noble, provoking an angry reaction from the clan and the Underworld government in general.

The entire situation is ridiculous overall. Why mate with a Nekomata in the first place? That type of cross-breeding will not be allowed when we are back in power.

"One of your so-called nobles raped and tried to murder a few of our people, and you call that an situation?!"

His power flared as I frowned.

"And that will not happen if you agree to our offer."

"What offer?"

He narrowed his eyes as I thought of my response.

"We require you and your constituents to fight in our army. Once we topple the current government, we will withdraw all Devils from the face of the Earth, prevent any unfortunate situations like this happening again."

From what I have heard, there are more than two hundred Yokai under his rule, all from varying species, so he will be a welcome addition to our army.

He looks shocked at the offer, and quickly nods.

I offer my hand out and we shake on it.

Looks like you just made a deal with the Devil.


I decided to make a trip to Kuoh to investigate rumors of a stray in the area.

If the rumors are true, this proves that we were right about reincarnating other species into our ranks.

This particular stray is called Viser, and she killed a noble, then started killing humans for food.

The killing humans part doesn't bother me, but it is the attention that this stray is bring to us that bothers me.

Matsuda and Motohoma have already traced the stray to an abandoned warehouse just outside of town, and I am with them right now.

"Keep the barrier up."

I said to my friends. We can't have the stray teleport out of here, can we?

I kicked in the door and was immediately greeted with the smell of decaying bodies.

There are numerous human bodies hanging upside down from the ceiling.

The smell got stronger as I entered the warehouse.

"You smell absolutely wonderful. Are you sweet or sour?"

I frowned as I saw the source of these words. It's an ugly, disgraceful stray taking up my precious air.

"Stray, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to enslave you like the dog you are."

Her face twisted sadistically as she charged me, firing acid from her breasts, which are rather large and wonderful

Hm, that is a first.

I frowned, dodging the squirts of acid as I waded in.

She tried to slash me with her spears, to which I ducked underneath.

I punched her in the breast and then chopped her in the neck.

I jumped back as she screamed in pain, grabbing her neck.

"W-what did you do to me?!"

"I placed the crest on you."

My palm had my family's crest on it, and it is now on her neck.

The crest is a spell that takes the form of a mark.

We've used it for generations to brand our slaves and to ensure their complete loyalty to us.

The spell takes away the slave's will to resist and makes them completely obedient within minutes.

"My work here is done."

I ran out of the warehouse as Matsuda and Motohoma looked into the warehouse.

"Make sure she doesn't kill herself. Bring her back to the safe house and completely tie her up and use a magical barrier."

Alright, one stray is in the army.


It is the night before Tuesday, and Lord Asmodeus will be expecting his army tomorrow.

This is the final stop for my gather the army tour.

I'm on the Asian mainland this night, specifically in China.

I was thinking as to what else the army needed.

We have Minotaurs, Sirens, various Yokai, but we were missing Zombies and Ghosts.

That brings me to an empty field outside Xiangyang, China.

This was the site of one of the numerous battles between the Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and with battle comes death. Many civilians and soldiers were massacred before, during, and after the battle, so they are great candidates for Ghosts as most are extremely vengeful.

I looked at the night sky and back down to the ground. I already cast a rune through the area, and am ready to begin now.

There will be five separate spells, each intertwining with the rest.

One spell will see how many bodies are there in the ground.

The next spell will see how much spiritual energy this place has. The higher the amount, the larger the amount of Spirits there are or the more powerful the Spirits are.

The third and fourth spells will raise the Spirits and Zombies respectively.

And the fifth and final one is the most important one. This is the spell to bind the Spirits and Zombies to me, otherwise they would run amok in the world.

Lucky for me that I am a natural spell caster otherwise this would take a lot of power out of me.

"O tellus, dic sub qua latet. Non possunt ea quae in te videbitur."

Wow, there are thousands of well preserved corpses here. Some of them are dressed in military ware with arms beside them.

"Fidelis cælum, dic mihi, quae ego autem non potest sentire. Ostendite mihi potestas esset!"

Okay, pretty substantial power. Hundreds of different spirits, many of them not particularly powerful, but there are five who are quite strong.

"Perturbabant populum, id quod olim. Consurge, consurge, et cecidit, perpetuo permanebunt."

I see them. Faintly rising from the ground. Their gray auras flicker into the night sky. I smiled as they hit the top of the invisible ceiling set by the magical rune I have over the area. Can't go anywhere. Sorry.

"Sanctus ossa, et suscitare vires conveniunt. Ex vobis os, et os ejus coram me sicut tu."

They're all coming up from the ground. Bony fingers reaching up from the ground, overturning the dirt as they struggle to get free.

There are thousands of them. Dressed in whatever they died in all those years ago. Some have armor drooping off their skeletons, others are just bare skeletons.

They'll do though.

"Et submittite voluntatem mihi. Fiat cor, corpus et anima est una cum magistro."

I smiled as I felt all of them linked to me. It's something you can't imagine. All of these spirits inside you, their hopes, dreams, rushing through your very being.

It's not good. I can feel their hatred trying to take over within me. Try to change who I am.

I knew this would happen.

I grabbed the pendant from my pocket and firmly grasped it in my hand.

This pendant was the property of Theophilus of Adana, and was used to bind many powerful creatures in it. It can be used to better manage the spirits roaming within my conscious.

"Oh sacred pentagram of fallen humanity, allow for the twisting of life, the mixing of truth, oh sacred locket of the night sky."

I feel all of the spirits slowly slipping into the pendant, which I placed around my neck like a necklace. I still feel the link between me and the spirits, and I'm sure I can influence the spirits and zombies. Still need to make sure though.

"Attack."

The spirits flew out and the zombies moved towards the direction that I thought of.

Good.

It works.

"How is the army?"

Lord Asmodeus asked as I appeared in the hideout the next morning.

"Very good. I've assemblied a pack of Minotaurs, a group of Sirens, various Yokai, Zombies, Spirits, and a Stray."

Lord Asmodeus smiled and placed his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm proud of you."

"As am I."

My master said as she walked into the room.

Lord Asmodeus walked to Lady Leviathan, and nodded at her.

"Issei, we are going to launch a massive attack with your army, and our forces. This is going to be the first step in taking back Hell and creating a better future for us Devils."

"When and where?"

I smiled at the thought of being part of history and making my master proud.

Lady Leviathan unfurled a sly smile, making her more beautiful than usual.

"Kuoh Academy. This Friday, which is classroom observation day. The fake Satans will be there visiting the heiresses, and we will strike them and kill them all."

I smiled at these words.

This is the first step to saving the Underworld.


I hope you enjoyed that.
