Arc 3 - Chapter 3

A week later*

(Kuoh Town: Plaza)

The town square surrounded by restaurants and shopping malls, with a giant clock tower at the center. Also, a common location for Rias and I meet up for our date. Today is the day for my first date with Rias.

"So, finish trying to find out my background yet?" I smirk at Rias, where we're sitting on one of the free benches to sit on when one's tired from walking for a while.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Rias wasn't going to admit of her doing such a thing. Though, that didn't stop the frustration continue to rise inside her during this entire week from not getting anything useful at all.

"Suuuurrree." I said slowly, not believing her one bit. "Anyway, you want to lead the date, or should I?" I give Rias the choice of her taking over the date or not. Plus, I got an idea of what Rias planning to do during the date.

"How about you lead the date? After all, you're the one that asked me out in the first place." Rias smiled at her boyfriend, eager to see what kind of date she will experience today.

"Alright." I didn't care either way since I have planned out rather on if Rias would take over the date itself or not. Even including the part, where Rias would bring in a company. In person or just watching from a distance. I stand up and offer a hand to Rias, to help her get up, even though she actually doesn't need it. But, I may as well and Rias even accept my hand to help her stand up. So no harm is done.


30 minutes later*

(Movie Theater)

So, to start of the first date with Rias. I brought her to the movie theater to watch a movie. A horror movie to be exact. However, it seems Rias wasn't even scared nor interested in the movie. In fact, Rias has a bored look on her face.

Of course, that all changes when I tap Rias' bare thigh, causing her to face me. I raise a finger to my lip to signal her to keep quiet. This just made Rias raise an eyebrow at me. But, kept quiet nonetheless.

I pull out a [Spell Shard], with the [Drone Jinx], then toss it in the middle of the theater, where it broke on hitting the ground and produce an undesirably loud noise, causing almost everyone to jump in fright.

People begin screaming in absolute terror while I kept my eyes on Rias, who flinched at the loud noise, but wasn't scared like the other people here.

For the rest of the entire movie. I would throw a [Drone Jinx] whenever a jump scare scene about to happen.


An hour later*

(Kuoh Town: Plaza)

"I will be honest. Movie. Wasn't the best." I said to Rias, where we just came from the movie theater and now walking to one of the restaurants to eat. But, that was before I changed my mind right away when I briefly saw a familiar person from the side and look like they are planning to enter the same restaurant Rias and I would go into after we enter first.

"I think those other people would like to disagree with you on that one." Rias look bored but failing as she was interested in how well her boyfriend timed the loud noise to happen right at the best moment, to maximum the scare level in the crowd.

"Eh, they will either get over it or develop a trauma towards loud noises." I shrug my shoulders, not caring that I might have caused many people to develop the fear towards loud noises or just cause them nightmares for weeks or so.

"Maybe." Rias smile, where she doesn't care about strangers either. Though, she does wonder where her boyfriend taking her next.


20 minutes later*

"Oh my, Satan! This is so good!" Rias exclaim in delight, for she never tasted something so good. This makes her wonder what else her boyfriend could do, and to think cooking is just one of the many things he could do.

"I got plenty, so help yourself." I said to Rias, as I watch her eat the handmade meal I made beforehand and kept it in my hammerspace. All food stored in a bento box and stays warm while staying inside my hammerspace.

As I decided for us to eat at a public table, where I use [Book of the End] to make food and knowing how Rias is with Japanese culture. I wasn't disappointed by the look on Rias' face when she saw me pull out two bento boxes for us to eat.

"Just these foods alone want me to get you into my peerage even more." Rias said to her boyfriend as she takes another bite from her bento box, something she hopes her boyfriend would let her keep it after finishing the meal.

"And like before, I'll decline to join your peerage." I replied without hesitating for even a second. "By the way, I'm planning to leave this town soon." I wait for Rias' reaction and watch Rias pause in eating, then look at me in disbelief.

"Wait?! Why would you leave so soon?! Is it because of me?!" Rias begins to panic, for she did not expect that on her first date, which actually turns up going nicely even though it wasn't exactly the same as she saw in the anime. But, that wasn't important anymore as her first boyfriend would leave town soon! The entire situation wasn't going by the scripts that's suppose to go! Rias and her boyfriend, Daisuke, should have somewhat or actual nice date before leaving in their separate way and maybe call each other at night before going to bed, then have even more future dates after having a successful first day and later on, Rias will discover more about her boyfriend's secrets, maybe even help her get out of her arranged marriage too, yet that went out the window with him leaving town!

"Nah, I've already planned to leave town. I'm just a visitor." I decide to go with a bit of the truth. Plus, after thinking about it for a week while calling/texting Rias. I decided that Rias wouldn't be such a good match with me. Too prideful and she too easily manipulated and trigger if anything bad touches her servants. Also, I'll have to deal with her older brother and I might not be ready to take him on, even if with everything I have right now. Better to overestimate others than underestimate them.

"Then, what's the point of asking me to be your girlfriend if you're leaving?" Rias frown, that Daisuke was just playing around with her feeling. Though, she wasn't really in love with Daisuke. This relationship is just something she wanted to experience during her stay in Japan.

"I honestly thought you would reject me at the end." I lied, since I wanted to fuck Rias, but decided after a good week to relax. It was not worth it at all and my lower brain was in charge for a while. Again. "But, don't worry. I'm not going to leave you hanging. So, I decide to leave you with this. To help you with whatever you're having problems with." I place down a small box containing 3 [Sacred Water Shards] inside.

I start explaining Rias what these [Sacred Water Shards] are and what they could do along with how to use it. Furthermore, I made sure to give a warning to her that if used carelessly. Expect the entire Kuoh Town to be flooded. Not to mention, how they are fatal towards anything unholy. So if someone like Rias were to get hit by it. Expect either being in critical injuries or death. That's how dangerous these 3 [Sacred Water Shards] are. Once I finished explaining. I gave my farewell to Rias before heading off, leaving behind a blank facial expression Rias.


2 hours later*

(Kuoh Town)

I sighed in relief, that I manage to be on time before Issei turned into a [Reincarnated Devil] because it was much, much easier to get my hands on the soul of Ddraig. One of the [Two Heavenly Dragons] and the arch-rival of Albion. Also called the Red Dragon known as the Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, Red Dragon Emperor, and Red Dragon Emperor of Domination. Previously resides within the [Longinus: Boosted Gear], originally wielded by Issei Hyoudou.

But now, with the help of [Chariot Requiem]'s [Grand Scale Soul Manipulation]. I have stolen Ddraig from Issei and didn't bother to take the [Boosted Gear] itself while also leaving the souls of the previous hosts inside the [Boosted Gear], and just took the soul of Ddraig only. Afterward, I wipe Ddraig's conscious so the dragon can't go against me and from this point on. Ddraig only follows my orders.

I had the idea of merging Ddraig's soul with my [Innocence: Crown Clown] before realizing that would be a waste and would be much better to fuse with my [Noah Form]. Which I did without much problem thanks to [Chariot Requiem] and [Omnifabrication]. Especially the latter, that made it possible without any mistakes nor any downsides for doing this.

This lead to the [Noah Form] to transform, where now my amber eyes turn green. The bluish-black hair became crimson instead. That's pretty much it in my [Noah Form]'s chances upon merging with Ddraig's soul. Everything else the same. Of course, I tested out Ddraig's [Power Multiplication] and found out, that Ddraig won't voice out [Boost] as he does subconsciously in the [Boosted Gear].

Instead, I just will it and it happens. Going by Ddraig's memory. Voicing it out was something Ddraig did out of boredom while trapped in the [Boosted Gear] and pretty much turn it into a habit for all his moves. In the past, Ddraig wouldn't do such a thing and just will his moves to work. There was no talking; well, other than roaring at Albion's name during a fight between the two dragons.

Onto another good news; I have no such limits placed on me when using [Power Multiplication] without having to wait 10 seconds to work and using the [Balance Breaker: Scale Mail]. All I need is to think about the numbers of how much I wanted to multiple and it happens. Though, I do have some limits due to how limited my stamina is. Something I didn't really worry about since my stamina is already abnormal and I know a way to cheat my way into increase my stamina as well.

So, now with the full power of Ddraig. I'm going to aim for his arch-rival Albion. The White Dragon, Also known as the Vanishing Dragon, Albion Gwiber, White Dragon Emperor, and White Dragon of Supremacy.

I like to have both of the [Two Heavenly Dragons] with both dragons having powers that very useful in many worlds. Furthermore, these two dragons will give me the potential to kill the gods as well, which made me want them in the first place too. I still haven't forgotten about Chris, if that's her real name that is. Though, I have to figure out if I should merge Albion's soul with my [Crown Clown] or go with my [Noah Form]. Then decide to go with the [Crown Clown] since even without their consciousness. Their dragon instincts will demand to fight each other. So, better to put Albion with the [Crown Clown].

Either way, this just having Ddraig alone made my trip in the Highschool DxD worth it. But, I still want Albion to complete the set. So, all I have to do is cause some noise while using Ddraig's powers, which should cause the current host of Albion to find me.

I still have no idea if this world is canon or not, but this plan should work, otherwise, I can just use [Omnifabrication] to locate Albion. But, this idea would cause problems for me as people will know that I wasn't the original host of Ddraig nor do I have the [Boosted Gear]. Something I have no idea if Issei has the default power of [Boost] or not. But, not my problem.

Plus, I can do lots of things with just [Power Multiplication & Transference] alone. In fact, the only reason I even want Albion is out of greed to have a complete set. Though, that doesn't mean Albion's powers weren't useful as Ddraig's. Just a bit more limited in variety.

So far, I have traveled in many random places without any aim while causing a few problems to draw out Albion's current host. I mainly use my [Noah Form] to cause unwanted attention towards myself. Though I think I might draw some devils' attention too, maybe Rias due to my [Fox Mask]. Since it's something I didn't bother to hide and Rias might connect my [Noah Form] with my human form by just the [Fox Mask] alone. But, I didn't really care at the moment. I wasn't aiming to stay in this world for that long as I aim for almost all the [Sacred Gears] I want to grab from this world before going to the next.

However, 3 weeks in, even with using the power of Ddraig. I still didn't find Albion's current host. Making me wonder if I should head back to Kuoh Town since that the best place I could think of, where the Albion's current host would show due to canon. Hopefully, I come back in time before the plot takes place when Albion's current host first appearance as that's the best moment to grab Albion's soul.

Looking around, where there are scattered corpses everywhere, with all of them having in common are [Light Swords], crosses, the Bible, and [Holy Water], as well as guns loaded with [Light Bullets]. All of them are stray exorcists. All killed by brute force by punching them with enough raw strength to cause small explosions. Enough to blast these stray exorcists with weak squishy bodies to a meaty paste over the place.

Onto other notes. I noticed that I kept on meeting stray exorcists for some reason. Stray devils, I expected to find, but not so many stray exorcists. Making me wonder if this was a thing in canon or not.

BEEP!* BEEP!*

"Fucking hell!" I jump back a couple of meters away, where a truck almost ran me over. I look in the direction where the truck is going, but to my surprise. The truck is gone and through [Gold Experience Requiem]. I can't sense any lifeforce near me within a hundred meters. Making me feel a bit disturbed that a random truck with no one driving it would almost run me over or it just someone placing an illusion on me.

Frowning at this, I look around the area with caution, because for one thing. I'm nowhere near the roads. In fact, I'm at some town square of this unknown town I still haven't figure out the name of. Yet, a random truck came here still.

I continue to look around the area before deciding it's best for me to leave the place. I didn't bother to loot the dead exorcists of their stuff since I can make better [Light Swords] than the one provided by the Church.


A week later*

"Okay, I'm lost." I mumble to myself, where I find myself in some warehouse near the shipyard. Of course, I know I wasn't back in Kuoh Town since if I was. I would have noticed the clock tower in the plaza, but didn't see one at all in this town. Also, I just realized something important. I do not have the means to detect others from spying on me from a distance with [Magic] while the only things I can sense from a long distance are life-force and the souls. Other than those two, I got nothing else. Making me realize how lucky I am so far from not getting assassinated from a distance by a sniper. Well, I have no idea if I still could be killed by a sniper bullet in my [Noah Form].

However, I just have an idea to solve this little problem. Thanks to having Ddraig's soul.

Using [Boost] on my sense of knowing whenever I'm being watched or not, 4 times, then I felt a small uncomfortable feeling that I'm actually being watched by someone. So, I will the [Power Multiplication] to [Boost] 8 times and the uncomfortable feeling got bigger and now I can say for sure sensed that I'm being watched. But, I still couldn't locate the person watching me. Therefore, I use [Boost] 2 more times. Putting me in using [Boost] 14 times in total. Now, I can sense where the person is watching me from. Then, looking out the warehouse on my right.

To my disbelief, I discovered it wasn't a who but a what, that's watching me. I'm literally being watched by the same fucking truck that almost ran me over. Now, it's waiting for me to lower my guard at any more to run me over. To make it weirder for me, there no one driving the truck and must be possessed or something.

Feeling a little disturbed by this since I'm still in Japan and being Japanese too. But, that doesn't mean I want to be run over by a truck, in fact, it might be the infamous Truck-kun that aiming to send people to another world. However, I rather not died a second time nor do I want to be sent to another world when I can already do that myself. Furthermore, I might lose everything I have worked for once I've been sent to the other world. So yeah, I'm not going to allow this to happen to me.

So without any hesitation on my side. I use [Domain Control] to use [Elemental Manipulation - Gravity] to float away, with Truck-kun following right after me. Something I did not expect to happen to me when coming to this world.

(Kuoh Town: Kuoh Academy)

Looking around the area with caution, then quickly use [10x Boost: Stealth & Concealment Presence] before entering deeper into the academy, where I search for Issei since I'm curious if he could still use the [Boosted Gear] like normal without Ddraig's soul. Also, to check if I have arrived before or after the moment where Albion's current host is introduced to Issei.

It didn't take me that long to find Issei in class and nothing out of the ordinary. So, I did a quick check on Issei's history with the help of [Book of the End]. To my surprise, instead of gaining the power of Ddraig like in canon. The [Boosted Gear] became the [Inheritance of the Past], where Issei now has access to multiple teachers from the past as the [Boosted Gear] host at their time. Though, limited due to not having the [Boosted Gear]. Issei now has the ability to temporarily use the past possessors of the [Boosted Gear]'s [Skill Set] and have limited access to [Boost] aka [Power Multiplication] by having the past possessors doing the [Boost] instead.

This is something I did not expect to happen at all. Furthermore, Issei is somewhat stronger than his canon version due to having multiple people backing him up and is willing to help him out after learning their current junior somehow losing Ddraig's soul, but kept the [Boosted Gear] before it transformed into a pair of bracelets during the training trip to prepare for the fight with Rias' former fiance Riser Phenex and awaken the past possessors of the formerly [Sacred Gear: Boosted Gear]. By pure bullshit luck and plot armor on Issei's side due to being the main character have managed to defeat Riser in the Rating Game that decides the fate of Rias marrying Riser or not.

Overall, in exchange for being unable to rely on the [Boosted Gear] throughout the series like canon. Now, Issei will become more all-rounder instead. No idea what else the [Sacred Gear: Inheritance of the Past] could do since it's something forcibly created by this world to give Issei the edge he needs to progress into the plot of Highschool DxD. No idea if the plot will stay the same or not with a different [Sacred Gear].

Either way, plot kind of got back on track and from Issei's history alone. I can say Rias fallen in love with Issei from saving her from the arranged marriage. Honestly, I wonder I can do the same of making Rias fall for me if I did the same, but I rather not reveal myself to the devil faction any time soon while staying in this world. Therefore, I shall camp out at Kuoh Academy to await for the current host of Albion while working on my [Noah Form] a bit more to get used to having Ddraig's powers influencing over [Dark Matter].

(Kuoh Town: Kuoh Academy)

I let out a yawn while watching the fight between the main casts against Kokabiel and surprisingly or maybe not. It was Issei who manages to prevent Kokabiel from killing everyone. But, he still having a hard time though. Overall, I would say at the very least Issei is doing better and much more compared to canon. Also, being more active than being as support.

Looking up the sky, through the barrier that Sona and her peerage set up to cover the entire school. I couldn't find Albion's current host in their [Balance Breaker: Scale Mail] and use [5x Boost: Sense of Sight] and I found my target. So, before Albion's current host could get away and I end up having to deal with the problems of finding the person. I use [Domain Control] to lock the person in place, stopping them from flying away.

This would have been a lot harder to do even with [Domain Control] if I didn't have modified the [Domain Control] to double my natural talent in [Telekinesis] every single day. Because I can do lots of things with [Telekinesis] and should be able to manipulate reality itself. Yet, I'm saving [Reality Warping] for later after I finished with the easier stuff.

Making a fist, where I form a wormhole via [Domain Control: Dimensional Travel] from my right and the other side being in the sky, where I see Albion's current host shouting in a panic. Before Albion could give some advice to his host to break free. I summon [Chariot Requiem] and rip Albion out of his current host while sending the said host into the local park through another wormhole I created for a split second. Then close both wormholes.

Afterward, I let [Chariot Requiem] merge Albion's soul into the [Innocence] while wiping Albion's consciousness as I did with Ddraig. And to make things a lot easier for me in the process. I use [20x Boost] on [Chariot Requiem] to get the job done faster.

In a matter of seconds, I dismiss [Chariot Requiem] and deactivate [Noah Form]. Then, I use [Crown Clown] and to see the changes of what Albion's soul has done to my [Innocence].

The white-hooded cowl and sleeve of [Innocence Energy] which covers my shoulders and right arm has become silver. My left arm and hand become noticeably slender and black, complete with razor-sharp claws. The gray part of my left hand became a dark shade of blue. Other than that, nothing changed much.

"Oh, wait." I snap with my right hand, then took the [Fox Mask] off my head and see the red color marking on the mask turned a dark shade of blue as well. "Neat." I place the [Fox Mask] over my face. And now, I have both of the [Two Heavenly Dragons]' powers under my control.

Same as Ddraig, there no limitations of waiting 10 seconds and among other things. Well, other than I need to touch something to affect it with the [Power Division & Absorption]. Of course, it doesn't have to be physical touch like with the [Sacred Gear: Divine Dividing]. Instead, I just need a medium to touch the target. Other than that, I can use Albion's [Power Division & Absorption] without any problem. So this makes it a bit easier to use Albion's powers to take down many foes in many ways. Though, it will be annoying having to switch between [Crown Clown] and my [Noah Form] to use the [Two Heavenly Dragons]' powers.

Looking down before, where I can see that Kokabiel is about to deliver the finishing blow to the devils. Then, I raise an eyebrow where I see Rias pulling out a small, but the familiar box and see the [Sacred Water Shards]. Two, in fact, and I knew through Issei's history, that Rias used one during the Rating Game, but it didn't take down all Riser's peerage and himself as they've fled to the sky before the water contains holy in it could touch them. While Issei's plot armor requires something to be triggered and Rias wasn't able to use the other two remainings [Sacred Water Shards] and was captured by Riser. This allowed Issei to come to the rescue.

So I have an idea why Rias decide to take out the [Sacred Water Shards], and sure enough, Rias went all out and throw both [Shards] at Kokabiel, who in his arrogant, allow the [Shards] to hit him in the chest. Where I can tell Kokabiel was shocked, to find himself blasted into the school with a raging flood of water crashing into him without any mercy. However, I got the feeling Rias didn't think about the damage the [Sacred Water Shards] would cause to the school to be flooded with water, not to mention the water is about to reach herself and her peerage soon.

"THE SCHOOOOOL!" I heard Sona's screech in absolute horror to see the school building is starting to collapse. Which is kind of bad for me, seeing how I'm still on the rooftop.
