I woke up from pain in my head, looking around to my horror I was surrounded by destroyed forest and parts of the bodies. A voice came from behind me "Master what is wrong with you?" when I turned my head I see giant golden lion covered in blood sitting near and staring at me.
"hi speaking!?" I freaking out... wait master? I think I have seen him somewhere.
"How are you called?" I am ask lion
"Regulus" Lion answer
This is high school DXD... looking at my arms and see huge muscle clenching rough fist, then memories of Sairaorg Bael start coming in my heat, now understanding that I'm start smiling my dream come reality. Stop with this for now it's not time to fantasize.
I need go from here, it is not possible for destruction of this magnitude to be not noticed by anyone.
Looking at Regulus.
"You can take smaller for? If yes, do it we need go to home"
With that said Regulus turn in bright golden light and became Battle Axe.
I took the axe and go back to Underworld.
First what I think no meter what I can't leak news that I taming Longinus spirit if what shows in my memory correct there huge chances that my now Father Lord Bael try take away or limited use of Regulus. Now I am understanding Sairaorg why he reincarnated lion into devil it solves many problems. Looking at sky with full moon idea come in my head. Making him familiar for now will be good I can use this cover to keep him near me without suspicion. With this in mind I decided to go to the pet forest.
Arriving at the edge of the forest I went straight to the place where lions usually live. After checking the territory I ordered Regulus to take his lion form. Making contact don't take long time since I already have full control thank my bloodline abilities rule over lions.
Now what I am remember Azazel mentioned that Regulus Nemea can transform into a huge lion that has a purple jewel in the middle of its forehead.
If I hide jewel then Regulus will look like normal nemea lion only large in size than other lions. The perfect familiar for someone with power from Vapula clan.
"Regulus bend you head down to me" huge lion line his head to my I covered the jewel with hair from mane. "Regulus lift you head" Looking at mess hair yup the hairdresser will definitely not come out of me.
For now it will be so "Remember not to say anything and hide jewel on your forehead" Heading from familiar forest we went to Bael Castle.
The road didn't take much time with my wings and Regulus running speed.
At the entrance I see guards coming down from the air I introduce myself to the security leader and my new familiar.
"I see... you what to keep him in the castle?" guard leader looked cautiously at Regulus.
"Yes, he is rare species nemea lion, I was lucky to meet him today " I responded with smile. "You can go with him inside I will inform Lord about it"
We went inside castle I led Regulus to the training field where I usually train.
"Stay here until I find where you will live" Then I went to report on my journey into the human world to Lord Bael.
I went straight to my "father's" office, walking through the huge corridors I finally stood in front majestic door behind which Lord Bael pretends to make some important work.
Knocking on the door I said "It's Sairaorg" after some time voice answer "Come in»
Opening the door I walk to the middle of room "Greetings Lord Bael"
His face resemble mine, having purple eyes, black hair and despite the fact that he never trained his body it looked pretty strong. Sitting at his desk he looked at me with disgust in his eyes having no idea to hide it "I got report from the guards that you came back from human world with huge nemean lion, it's him you want make your new servant?"
"No, unfortunately the person I wanted recruit in my peerage died at the hands of an unknown group but he was able to take them with him, so I have no idea who they are. The area was destroyed, so I decided to leave this place to avoid clashes with fallen angels or church. Not wanting to return empty-handed, I went to the Familiar forest and there met this nemean lion" I answered my almost truth with solemn face.
Hearing that my plan to find a new servant failed Lord Bael show small smile but it quickly disappeared when it come to Regulus.
"I will not allow this animal to be kept in my castle" said solemn
Like Sairaorg though, he was not allowed to keep the lions despite his love for them because of his fathers who forbade it, haha his loss
"It is not a simple lion but a Nemea strongest among all subspecies" l shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Lord Bael rose from his chair and shouted back "Don't you dare to raise your voice failure, I will not allow you to further disgrace the name of Bael by turning our castle in stable"
He really gets angry easily "As you wish" I turned around and went to the exit. "Where are you going I'm not done yet" Lord said at my back, I turned my head and said "I'm done" then I went out and close the door hearing an anger voice from inside.
Everything went according to plan despite the fact that Lord Bael never made a single decision on his own he had great pride and short-tempered which I can easily use to be able hide my Longinus.
Returning to training field I took Regulus to exit of castle and headed in the direction of my old house in the countryside.
Early in the morning I finally arrived at the place where my mother lives at this time line Sairaorg has not yet use his connection with Sona Sitri to transfer her to the Serafall Memorial Hospital.
It was a small estate with two floors and courtyard in front entrance.
"Regulus wait me here" approaching the entrance, I pressed the door look. After a while the door opened and a middle-aged man who is wearing butler clothing.
"Sairaorg-sama you are back?" Ask man
"Temporarily, less so I need to find a place for this little one" I pointed to a Regulus who was sitting a couple of dozen meters from us.
"It lion? Why he so big?" butler ask with shock on his face.
"Haha he is Nemean Lion the strongest of all lions" I said with pride "Lord Bael don't allow me to keep him inside castle so I think make here place for him"
"It will be difficult but we will try" butler response. "Good" I nodded "follow him" I commanded to Regulus.
Butler escort Regulus to the backyard.
Then I visited my mother who was already sleeping due to her illness. Like original Sairaorg speak to his mother. I told her that everything was fine after I returned from the human world. I'm said that I had found a new familiar (hiding that he was a Longinus).
After that I go to my room I'm fast check doors and windows, close everything and sat down to think about what had happened to me.
Yesterday before go to sleep I re-read chapter in novels again and again but not satisfied with ending, why Sairaorg must lose? Guy training like beast, have super good genetic for physical strength, learned martial arts and also have Longinus, this don't make sense it's had to be good fight in which at the end Sairaorg beat Issei and win the game. Sairaorg keep name of strongest young Devil but no, power up in the middle of the match will definitely come to help the protagonist.
Really as can be compared in hand to hand combat someone who has been trained from his childhood and had to have excellent muscular memory to school guy who trained couple of months maximum. Real combat experience? So it turns out that all the battles fought by Sairaorg do not matter much. It's like comparing someone who fought on the street without rules for a couple of months to a professional MMA fighter. No, it had to end the other way, with such a thought in my head I fell asleep and woke up here.
My memories were mixed with Sairaorg's memories, as if I be him since childhood, disgust from family and servants, sympathy from mother.
He really lived in horrible condition for the child, when his father discovered that he do not have Bael clan trademark Power of Destruction everything went awry. ( Who need it? When his fist can send flying any pure-blood devil with their high demonic power. )
Then he was torn from his childhood, becoming a defect of the highest-ranking clan amongst the 72 Pillars. Even low-class and middle-class devils can look down at him. His mother had to suffer to protect and in the end they were sent to the countryside of Bael territory...
It's not worth thinking about that now, much more important to write down all my memories from novel and make plan of what I should to do.
After some time of planning I heard a knock on the door.
"Young master it time for breakfast" butler voice from the door.
"okay" I response.
I'm got up from chair, hide my notes, fixed my clothes.
In the dining room were simple meal but form me who don't eat more that day It all seemed so incredibly delicious!
The food consisted mainly of vegetables and little meat. This body must have crazy genetic to gain so much muscle with such low amount of protein.
After dinner I go to Regulus now he live in garden, it is really hard to find places for such a big guy. He was lying on the grass.
I see you're resting well, It's time to warm up a bit having said that, I led Regulus towards the forest.
We lived on the outskirts of the village near the forest so that no one had contact with us, although Lord Bael did something good. In this area. No one will now about my existence and now will not know about my Longinus.
Using my new memories, we went deep in the woods were demonic beast lived. An hour later we arrived in area where the trees were over fifty meters high and the roar of animals was heard. This will be our training place, even if there is an earthquake, hardly anyone will notice.
"First let's hunt some beast for lunch and then we will train balance break I have idea which I want. It has to be an armor that will be able to fully demonstrate all our ability" I said with a serious face. "We will make it master" answer lion, short and clear as always.
Starting to search around we killed some weak beast until we found a cave with giant demonic boars.
"Hide behind the trees, I'Il pull them out of the cave at the signal you block their way back and we attack them from both sides" giving the Regulus command I waited until he hid then went to the cave and kicked a stone in her direction when the stone collided with another sound echo went into the middle of the cave and the angry Boars began to run towards me.
Without waiting for them, I began to run to the side where Regulus was hiding. Running the right distance with them on the tail, I suddenly stopped, turned around and started running at them at this time, my Lion jumped out of hiding and attacked them from behind.
We quickly disassembled with them and went inside the cave. It was about ten meters tall going deeper. I saw a bunch of bones they lived here for a long time. After checking that it is OK and that she will not collapse soon, I told Regulus to remember it from now on, this will be our rest base in the forest.
After that, Regulus had lunch and I went to gather firewood to roast the meat for my dinner. For the future I need to take cooking tools here.
It's time to train to achieve a balance break I need to evoke my strongest emotions and implement them with Regulus into the shape I want. Sounds simpler than it really is.
