Guess who's back, back again~
I'm back for a new chapter!
Like always, let us start with the Review Response section!
ENDDRAGON369 says: "Are there elements from Type-moon."
A: Not really. I'm not very knowledgeable in Nasuverse things. But the future is still uncertain, so... maybe later on, who knows?
snowyassass1n says: "Poor poor IsseiXD, Although seriously tho is this gonna be like one of those anime where the main character isn't shy about female contact at all but still finds a way to always get fucked over anyways when it comes to engaging with them due to some sort of promise or other plot bullshit? If it is I'm out."
A: Hell no! I dislike that sort of premise as well, let the MC get some! That being said, I have big plans regarding Issei losing his virginity, which is one of the reasons as to why it hasn't happened yet.
Xerzo LotCN says: "sorry about random error touch screens suck
so you did answer my questions thanks
larger harem nice
i liked the reason behind the name it make sense
he can use the powers
but a question from that is it a finite amount of lightning or was it a blessing giving him power from the tattoo
so until his arm get healed he cant go back that doesn't sound good fuck well at least he didn't give in he can get is healed
that test while probably scary was cute man at least the aftermath
i do like it wasnt the real one so everything is fine phew still powerful
wow his lust energies is off the charts for that to happen haha
pervs incentive man but damn the effect it was pretty cool lust overload might as well just be a incubus lols
too bad no rando succubus orgies maybe later?
but just wait till he tell of old crow or old man of the north so jealous haha
so a question i forgot to ask genderbends or no?"
A: Whew. Let's see...
'but a question from that is it a finite amount of lightning or was it a blessing giving him power from the tattoo' You'll have to wait to learn about the tattoo. No spoilers here!
'too bad no rando succubus orgies maybe later?' Mhm...
'so a question i forgot to ask genderbends or no?' For now, I'll have to say no. I'm not much a fan of the genderbend format, generally speaking. The only genderbends I like are those of characters who are, in a general form of speaking, already feminine. For example Haku from Naruto, that's a genderbend that I can enjoy. But if you try to get like a female version of Sairaorg or Vasco Strada, that's where I draw the line for the most part. So...
DarkxKitsune15 says: "Awesome chapter as always I can't wait to read more in the future so I do have a question will he be able to heal his mangled arm with his own tantric energy in the future or is it just going to stay mangled"
A: I really don't want to give story spoilers, so you'll just have to keep reading to find out.
Another Guest1029 says: "HA! This definitely had some good old DxD humor in it! Not much to say since the chapter was mostly exposition, but the exposition was good. Although my mind grinned to a halt when Lilith said dis-pon-ibilizing. Is this a real word or a spelling mistake, cause I looked it up and the first thing I found was Portuguese translations.
Also, something naughty is at least going to happen between Issei and Lilith, right? Cause having shenanigans get in the way of a Harem MC fully determined to be one, in the sex capital of sex demons no less, is just ridiculous and annoying."
A: About the first thing, it was my bad. My main language is Portuguese, so I sometimes confuse terms between languages. What I meant when I wrote 'Disponibilizing' was 'making available', except I fucked it up and mixed the two languages together. Naughtiness between Issei and Lilith will happen, but I'm saving it for a future, special occasion.
MrSpice says: "Phahahaha the ending is fucking amazing xD. This like something entirely new in a long time. I've been here 3 years on the dxd fanfiction hahahaaha. This fucking briliant, just briliant my dude. I want more. All though the Eagle tatto... What does it do?"
A: A lot of people are curious about the Eagle Tattoo... Good. Means I'm doing my job properly. You'll just have to keep reading if you want to find out.
Guest (and actual guest reviewer, not someone with the screen name Guest) says: "So, he destroyed his arm? Well fuck, will he recover it somehow?"
A: Who knows? The future isn't a certainty, and many things can happen. You'll just have to stick around and find out!
And with that I end the Response Review section! Now, we get to our (Not so regularly scheduled) programming!
~oOo~
"Very good so far, Mr. Hyoudou... Now, let's see... What metrics can one use to measure and qualify Tantric Energy, and what do they represent?"
Issei, completely focused on the prospect of Acing his evaluation, responded in a serious tone.
"Tantric Energy can be measured on a basis of quantity, potency and purity. Quantity relates to the raw amount of Tantric Energy one releases through libidinous thoughts/actions, with people who perform more of those releasing a higher amount of Tantric Energy than someone who only occasionally allows themselves to think/do perverted things.
Potency relates to how powerful the Tantric Energy released is. It relates to the relative level of perversion of the thought/action, with more perverted ones generating more potent Tantric Energy. Differences in potency influence just how much activity can be performed using Tantric Energy, since more potent Energy can achieve a certain goal in smaller amounts than it's less potent variant.
Purity relates to the emotion backing the thought/action that actually led to the release of the Tantric Energy. If those emotions are wholesome, such as love, passion, a desire to connect with another and grant them pleasure, then the Tantric Energy generated is generally pure. If the lust is backed by negative things such as Ire, anger, wrath, hatred, envy, or would result in a violation of any kind, it becomes less pure, eventually corrupting the heart of the one actually generating it. "
"Excellent. Final question, what are the traits of Tantric Energy, and how can they be utilized in practice?"
"Tantric Energy possesses a single primary trait, which is 'Union', or 'Togetherness'. That trait led to the development of three primary branches of magic circling around making connections.
The first branch is 'Togetherness with Oneself', which spawns two primary fields of magic, Reinforcement and healing, and makes the Succubi some of the best healers in history, aside from passively bestowing them an accelerated regeneration.
The second branch is 'Togetherness with the World', which lends itself to two specific fields of magic as well, camouflage and sensory.
The third branch is 'Togetherness with Another', which allows for emotional manipulation of others, Illusions, and a certain level of empathy, with the first two depending on the imposition of the caster's will over the will of their target."
"Excellent, Mr. Hyoudou! You went above and beyond what I expected!"
The professor paused briefly, before flashing an alluring smirk at Issei as she spoke.
"I believe that deserves a reward..."
The brunette was all but hopping in place, his eyes wide in excitment, two little rivulets of drool escaping his mouth as Miss. Bernice sashayed towards him, her pink tongue escaping the confines of her mouth and gliding over red, juicy lips in a manner that caused Issei Jr. to jump straight in consistency from clay to diamonds.
~LEMON ALERT~
The woman stopped in front of Issei's desk, her fingers playing with the buttons of her shirt while her hips swayed left and right in an extremely hypnotic manner, causing Issei's eyes to dart up and down as they tried to find somewhere to settle on.
She surprised Issei by grabbing onto the two sides of her shirt and ripping them apart, causing the buttons to fly past and around the now-frozen Issei.
"Th-They're... Marvelous..."
The brunette could feel very little other than amazement, deference and respect for the pair of breasts that had just been bared completely to him. They had to be at least double D's, tipped with dark pink nipples, with no veins on dispay.
"So, Issei, are you going to just look-" Bernice emphasized her words by gliding her hands along the sides of her breasts "-or do you want to do more?"
She didn't really have to say anything more.
Issei dove onto her breasts with the ferocity of a thousand starving beasts, his right hand taking hold of her left breast, while his mout went straight for the right one, sucking on the pale, supple skin of the large mammary.
While his hand had it's fill of squeezing and groping, Issei's mouth nipped and sucked hard on the flesh of Bernice's other breast, leaving a myriad of hickeys and wet spots, all the while trailing closer and closer to the nipple.
The level of arousal caused Issei to lose the precarious grip that he had achieved over his Tantric Energy, inadvertently flooding the entire classroom with a high amount of extremely potent Tantric Energy.
The effects were almost instant.
Bernice's wings unfurled from her back, her tail slid out from under her skirt, while a pair of curving horns emerged from the back of her head, moving alongside her temples before stopping slightly ahead of her forehead, both pointing forward.
Her pupils turned into slits, while her irises gained a violet glow, her instincts rearing their head.
All of this went unnoticed by Issei, as did the fact that a purple-hued nimbus of energy started surrounding him, but he felt a certain voice in the back of his head start to guide his actions. Feeling that this voice came from within, Issei decided to follow it's instructions.
The young man released Bernice's left breast completely, before, instead of groping it in it's entirety, lightly gliding the tip of his index finger along the outter rim of her areola, his touch feather-light and, unknowingly, suffused with the same lust-based energy that filled the room.
A light moan emerged from the succubus at the inordinately skilled touches of what should have been a fumbling, overeager, virginal boy.
Taking Bernice's voice as confirmation to keep following the voice's instructions, Issei allowed the tip of his finger to make full contact with her areola, rubbing circles around the slightly ridged flesh, even while he licked at the canyon between the two large mammaries.
Feeling a further nudge, Issei dove into her right breast face-first, fully taking the erect nipple into his mouth and sucking on it hard, while his other hand trapped her left nipple between his thumb and forefinger, rolling the nub between them.
What were light moans leaving Bernice's throat turned into deep, guttural ones, the amount of pleasure she recieved feeling disproportionately high for the skill that Issei should possess.
Feeling another nudge from the voice, Issei kicked things up a notch by lightly grazing his teeth along the instructor's nipple, while flicking it with the tip of his tongue, while his hand lightly pinched and tugged on the other one.
Bernice felt a familiar feeling starting to build up on the lower part of her torso, rapidly growing and intensifying.
"Oh... Ohh... Ohhhh... OHHHHHHHHHH!"
A feeling akin to a coiled spring decompressing slammed into Bernice, stars exploding behind her eyes as what could only be described as pleasant electricity ripped through her entire body, causing her body to seize as her breath hitched, her back arching as her mouth opened into a wide O.
"IYAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
Screaming the strongest orgasm of her life out, Bernice felt the strength leaving her legs, causing her to fall to her kness, her face covered in a blush and sweat, her now-loosened hair matted to her forehead and to the back of her neck, an absurd level of slick wetness stained her panties, skirt and ran down her thighs, making a large puddle under her.
Issei's eyes were shadowed by his hair at the extremely erotic scene, before the brunette slammed the desk that was in front of him away, causing it to slam into one of the room's walls and burst into splinters.
Using his right hand, Issei worked on unbuttoning the cargo shorts he had been wearing, allowing them to drop and reveal the thick volume inside his underpants. Seeing the volume, Bernice could only smile semi-brokenly, the smell of masculinity wafting from Issei's member and flowing into her nostrils.
The brunette followed up by lowering his underwear, revealing a member that would be considered large even in an adult, both in length and girth, though in girth mroeso.
Bernice licked her lips at the sight of the throbbing member, hungrily eyeing the bead of clear pre that dotted the purple helmet.
Issei walked towards the kneeling succubus, his member bobbing with each step and her eyes following along, until he was within her reach.
Bernice reacted by shuffling closer to Issei, raising his flesh pole and going straight for his egg-sized testes, licking and kissing them, all while anticipating the marvelous treat she'd be getting from them later.
She followed that up by licking her way up the underside of his length, allowing her tongue to trace the thick vein and to collect the thin trail of pre that had been running down the length, before giving his helmet a teasing flick with the tip of her tongue, before planting a kiss on the crown.
She was surprised when Issei grabbed onto one of her horns with his right hand, prompting her to look up at him only to shiver in a mix of excitment and trepidation at what she saw.
Issei's eyes were lit up with an intense purple, his nostrils flared and his teeth bared into a feral snarl.
She was surprised by the sound of tearing fabric, which was followed up by a red, gauntlete hand gripping her other horn, before guiding her lips to the tip of his member.
She barely had the time to open her mouth before feeling the large member invading her throat with that single thrust, causing her eyes to water and her mascara to run.
She felt herself being pulled back, the thoroughly slick member gliding along her tongue as it happened, before Issei thrust back into her throat with no hesitation.
She moved her hands underneath Issei to fondle his sac even as she looked up and made eye contact with him, causing him to snort heavily, before he started hammering into her throat with no semblance of pity, or mercy.
Bernice never gagged once despite the brutal invasion of her throat, nor did she ever stop fondling Issei's balls, thoroughly enjoying the bestial treatment that he was subjecting her to, promising to herself that she'd get repeats of this as often as possible.
However, as all good things, their tryst eventually had to end.
The continuous stimulation that Bernice was expertly giving him, alongside the fact that he had been without relieving himself from the moment he chose Amsterdam as a destination with the intent of saving his stamina for there, and that this dry period had extended so far, despite his constant exposure to sights that would have made lesser man finish in their own pants, meant that no matter how much natural talent he had, or how much his Tantric Energy was aiding him, he was slated to come eventually.
Gripping Bernice's horns tighter than he had before, Issei gave her one final stroke before he felt his balls empty themselves within her throat, blast after blast of what felt like liquid fire exiting his body with such intensity that he actually shook, all of them being eagerly swallowed down by the woman that had her mouth around his member.
After he finished coming, Issei felt Bernice bobbing a few more times on his member, sucking every last dropplet of his essence from within his urethra, before she lied back onto the ground, let out a loud burp, then fell asleep, a look of deep satisfaction in her face.
~LEMON END~
The brunette blinked a few times as he felt an internal haze fade back into the confines of his subconscious, before a sudden bout of weakness caused him to fall back onto his butt.
Covering his face with the back of his hand, he spoke to himself.
"I can't believe that just happened."
Tears welled up in his eyes at that, his lip trembling with emotion, before he yelled out loud.
"I LOVE MY LIFE!"
"My my, how impressive."
Issei's head whipped over towards the source of the voice, seeing Laveria standing by the classroom door, an amused look on her face as she looked him up and down.
"Quite the harsh treatment you gave Bernice. You may have some trouble getting her to stop following you now, though."
Gulping at that, Issei spoke up nervously.
"Uh... Hello, queen Laveria Ma'am. How are you today?"
The woman smirked at that, before answering.
"Amused at how you're just trying to play off the fact that you throatfucked the hell out of one of my best and brightest. Most men in your position would be gloating, shouting at the four winds about their achievement. After all, it's not just anyone that manages to screw a succubus into unconsciousness, instead of it being the other way around. Bonus points for doing so without losing your virginity, since I'm sure my baby girl would've been displeased had you done so."
Issei blanched at the mention of Lilith, hastily pulling his underpants back up, before stopping in surprise at the sight of his uncovered Boosted Gear.
"Oh yeah, I kind of unleashed it..."
Shrugging that off as something to deal with later, Issei re-dressed himself, bowed to the still amused queen, before making his way out of the classroom, never noticing the various different succubi eyeing him hungrily after the burst of Tantric Energy that he released reached the entire castle.
Well, to be fair to Issei, all of them were camouflaged, staying just outside the classroom door and doing their best to listen in on and peek into the actions being performed in there.
Laveria looked over the sleeping Bernice, making no further effort of hiding just how impressed she was now that Issei had left the classroom. She made her way towards the downed instructor, dabbing at the corner of her mouth with the tip of her finger, gathering some of the white cream that Bernice had failed to swallow, before letting said finger into her mouth. Licking said finger clean, she popped it out, before commenting, her eyes gaining a violet, predatory hue.
"Delicious and Nutritious."
~oOo~
Traversing the corridors, Issei ended up in the situation that he wanted to delay the most for now.
Face to face with Lilith.
"Hey, Lilith..."
While the brunette greeted her cheerily, the Succubus princess gave him a blank look. She walked towards him in slow, methodical steps, the echoing of high heels on the castle's flooring causing Issei to cringe with each step, before she stopped right in front of the male.
She took in a nice, deep whiff of him, before her blank face opened into a light smile.
"You're still a virgin... Good."
She leaned into Issei, her lips all but kissing his ear as she spoke.
"I'm not ready to move forward yet, but keep saving yourself for me, Issei, and I promise that your first time will be unforgettable. Lesser men will sing songs of it throughout the ages, and it will be forever recorded in Luxuria's annals. This, I swear."
She punctuated that by giving his neck a good, slow lick, before pulling back, flashing him a bright smile, then walking away, leaving behind a bewildered, and extremely aroused, Issei.
~oOo~
Lunch was being a very awkward affair for Issei so far. Between the outright predatory looks from the maids and servants, the speculative looks from Laveria, and Lilith's surprising amount of cheer, it felt more like he was on display, rather than the veritable banquet spread out on the table.
He watched the maids pointing and whispering whenever they thought he was distracted, and he noticed how some of them would spread their hands apart at a good distance that he was very familiar with, causing him to blush lightly.
"Bernice told me, after waking up, that your theory on Tantric Energy is up to pair."
Issei choked on the piece of steak he had been chewing at the mention of Bernice, barely managing to push it down with water. Ignoring that, Laveria kept speaking.
"However, your control over your Energy is precarious at best. You may be capable of reeling it back in actively, but as soon as you got excited, or when you fall asleep, everyone notices. That will change. You'll be having some dedicated training to ensure that you can keep it under control even while asleep. That way I won't have my sleep interrupted by a spontaneous maid orgy at 3AM."
Issei's nostrils flared at that, causing Laveria to groan as she watched the maids vacate the dining room while panting and giggling as Issei's Tantric Energy flared. Again.
"There they go again."
~oOo~
Standing alone in an open field, Issei distracted himself by thinking back to the feeling of Bernice's breasts in his hands, and mouth...
"RAHHHH!"
The shout was the only warning Issei had before he was struck in the gut by a fist, causing him to to fly more than a few feet, before ragdolling through the ground into a stop.
Shaking off his daze, Issei noticed the fact that the sunlight was being blotted out by an increasingly larger shadow...
"Oh shit!"
The brunette rolled himself out of the way, his eyes widening at the fact that the ground where he previously was all but exploded. His surprise and nervousness faded into the background as he gained his focus, throwing himself back to his feet and shredding the bandages surrounding his boosted gear, his gaze firmly on the dust cloud that had emerged from the earth explosion.
A flicker in his vision was all the warning he had to raise his left arm in front of his right one in a cross defence, absorbing a heavy blow that had him sliding backwards and his feet carving a pair of throughs on the ground until he managed to stop himself.
Keeping his eyes peeled wide and swinging his head around, Issei tried finding his mystery assailant, the green gem on the back of his sacred gear lighting up in response to Issei's focus and determination.
He was completely blindsided by the fist that struck his right cheek, tossing him away.
He managed to right himself middair, only to have to block a punch to the chest as soon as he landed, causing him to fly further backwards.
Before his feet even made contact with the ground, he felt a kick to the back throwing him upwards, before an overhead double-fisted hammer blow threw him back down to earth with a small explosion.
By the time the dust of the explosion settled down, Issei's battered body could bee seen curled up in a small crater in a pose reminiscent of a fetus, his clothes ragged and dirty.
"Poor showing, boy. Very poor showing."
Issei, his face more than just a bit swollen, slowly crawled out of the crater he was in, his body sagging at the loss of power from the Boosted Gear, while conversing internally with his partner.
"Feaking tits, I just got Yamcha'd."
'...The hell is a Yamcha?'
"No idea, but it sounds weak, and offensive."
'It does, doesn't it?'
While Issei shook the dust off of his clothes, he heard the same voice as before speaking. The tone was harsh, austere and critical.
"Poor awareness, poor reaction time, poor form, an overall bad display. After hearing your feats from her Majesty Queen Laveria herself, I expected you to be... Better. It seems you're just a punk with a fancy toy and ludicrous amounts of luck."
Looking up at the source of the voice, Issei saw a tall woman, 6' at least, short Auburn hair arrayed in a myriad of spikes, steel-grey eyes and 165 pounds of lean muscle in weight, giving her the build of a veritable amazon.
She was clad in a matching pair of breastplate and pauldron, a tunic for ease of movement, under which was a pair of elastic shorts, leather vambraces with glowing purple runes, and a pair of greaves combined with steel-toed boots.
She looked the part of a warrior to the T.
"Fortunately for you, I was chosen to whip you into shape, and do so I will. By the time you leave my... Tender care... You'll be less of a disgrace than you currently are. At least enough not to completely embarrass yourself, or lady Lilith. If you have to go through an inordinate amount of pain and suffering in order to achieve that goal... Well, sucks to be you."
Issei was about ready to cry at this, while the woman finished her speech.
"My name is Xinthia, and I will be your instructor both in combat and in the manipulation of Tantric Energy. You are to call me only by 'teacher' or 'sir', are we understood?"
"YES SIR!"
The woman smirked internally at the way the holder of the famed Boosted Gear trembled like a a bamboo shoot in the wind under her glare, before barking out.
"NOW GET OUT THERE AND GIVE ME 50 LAPS AROUND THE FIELD, AND IF I CATCH YOU ENHANCING YOURSELF WITH YOUR SACRED GEAR I'LL GIVE YOU A BEATING THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU'LL NEVER IMAGINE! GO!"
Issei had started running as soon as she said '50'.
~oOo~
"GET UP YOU MAGGOT!"
"HOLYFUCKINGSHITONASTICK!"
Issei's string of curses was a consequence of the loud shout that registered right next to his right ear, causing him to fall of his bed, aggravating his already sore body even further. Looking back up, Issei was met with the harsh gaze of Xinthia as she spoke.
"You have five minutes to be outside, in the training field. For each additional second after the 5 minute mark you get another lap of running. Clock started running the moment I said outside."
She then proceeded to leave his room calmly, leaving behind a panicking Issei, doing his best to put on a sweatsuit and shoes while simultaneously brushing his teeth, all with only his right hand availabe.
He somehow managed to make it onto the field on time, getting only a nod of acknowledgement from his instructor before the first orders came.
"Supress your aura."
Issei closed his eyes, trying to get a grip on his powe-
*SMACK!*
The downed young man reeled from the punch to the face that had become so familiar to him these past days, rubbing the bruised cheek while looking questioningly to wards his instructor, not even bothering to make his pain known lest he get hit with worse, as Xinthia had made it a habit of doing.
'If you have time to whine, you have time to improve! Complaining after blows shows me that your pain tolerance still isn't up to par! I'll be taking care of that!'
All in all, it was a hellish week as far as Issei was concerned, plagued with a myriad of aches in muscles he didn't even know existed, creaking bones, and ice baths, leaving him so tired that he didn't even have the drive to do more than oggle the maids.
Shaking off those thoughts, Issei focused on his instructor's words.
"Controlling the aura that you release, any sort of aura, is a vital skill. It allows you avoid detection by an enemy, keep your true power level hidden even during combat, regulate how strong of an attack you will be releasing, and to not uselessly tire yourself by expelling extra energy that could be focused on anything else.
Your enemies, however, won't be giving you the time to go into a meditative state and get it back under control, so neither will I. Your objective is to get your aura output under control during a spar with me, so that it will not spike or fluctuate under even extreme duress, pain or punishment of any kind.
The next level will be achieving a subconscious level of control, allowing you to keep your aura in check even while distracted, dozing, sleeping, or in any other state of consciousness."
As soon as she finished saying that, she struck, forcing Issei to lean back to avoid the neck-level chop that would have instantly knocked him unconscious, followed up on by by tossing himself aside to dodge an axe-kick that would have likely broken his collarbone.
"I may have forgotten to tell you that the longer your aura stays out, the more destructive I'll make my attacks."
Issei faltered at that declaration, being rewarded for it by a stomp to the face that tossed him against a tree, causing him to almost lose his consciousness. Groaning, the brunette shook off his daze before charging power into the sacred gear and slamming it against the ground in an attack that he had fashioned just to surprise Xinthia, so that she wouldn't just overwhelm him with her speed as she had been doing.
"Blast Wave!"
An explosive shockwave emitted from the point of contact, blasting bits and pieces of rock, dirt and grass away.
Xinthia, who had been en-route to introduce her fist to Issei's gut, felt herself get hit fully by the shockwave, blasting her backwards and causing her to roll along the ground for a bit, before stilling.
Taking the brief window of calm to recover his stamina - and Issei was under no illusion that his attack was going to do any real damage - the brunette focused on trying to pull his aura back into himself to keep the fight from escalating, only to hear a voice right next to his ear.
"Hoh... So you still had a few tricks in you that you didn't use before? That must mean I'm not pushing you far enough..."
Before Issei could react, a fist-shaped indent appeared on his side, before he was blasted away hard enough to release a shockwave, causing him to cough out blood, before slamming into a boulder.
His body battered and bruised, Issei put his hands under his body and attempted to force himself back to his feet, swaying slightly when he did.
His right eye was swollen to the point that he could see nothing other than darkness out of it, while the vision in his left eye swayed drunkely. His knees shook and trembled, yet Issei didn't allow himself to fall down.
'If I'm going to be so battered every time we fight... Then I'm making sure you take your fair share of damage as well!'
In that state of semi-consciousness Issei started feeling the aura of power surrounding him, a purple one stretching a few feet away from him, while the green/red one stayed consistently at a level just above his clothes, surrounding him almost like a second skin.
Grasping the purple one, Issei pulled inwards, causing it to overlap with the red/green one, before the two started compressing even further, to the point that they actually caused his skin to tingle.
He felt... Something. A brief flicker of purple, going straight for him, prompting him to react.
The layer of power around him started growing thicker, until...
"TOO SLOW, MAGGOT!"
"EXPLOSIA!"
As Xinthia's punch was about to hit Issei, a purple shockwave exploded outwards from him, slamming straight into the succubus and throwing her quite a few feet away, forcing her onto her knees.
The now-naked Issei could only let out a wheeze reminiscent of a 'Yes!', before passing out.
Xinthia wiped a thin trail of blood from the corner of her mouth, before, without turning around, speaking up.
"My queen."
Laveria released her basic camouflage spell, chuckling slightly before speaking up.
"How would you say Issei's training is going?"
"...Better than I expected, I admit. When he started he was absolute trash. Even with the maximum boosts from his Boosted Gear he could barely keep up with me at an easy pace. Now, I have to use a considerable amount of my strength in order to make it seem as if the power disparity between us hasn't changed at all.
He grows stronger at an absolutely ridiculous rate, and the fact that he's managed to go through every day of work out I've given him so far is nothing short of amazing. I was forcing him into continuously keeping the same level of intensity in order to know the limits of his body, but it seems that whenever he does reach that point he powers through things using sheer willpower.
A night of sleep, and he's ready for more punishment. What's more, any mention of 'Lilith', 'Breasts' or 'Harem' seems to fortify him. While he may be weak today, if he keeps going at this rate, he'll grow up to be a complete monster."
"...I see. Do you believe he could use... That?"
Xinthia was struck dumb by Laveria's question, her mouth flapping uselessly at that, before she spoke up.
"Milady, do you not think you're giving him too much credit? As much potential for the future he may present, I do not see him being capable of using that."
"Then make sure that he is, Xinthia. I hear murmurs of bad things to come, and if I could have the Red Dragon Emperor in a combat-ready state on the side of Luxuria, I would feel much more secure about future. Make him stronger."
"Yes, my lady. I shall prepare him for It."
Laveria nodded at Xinthia, before moving towards Issei and crouching beside him, her hand caressing his hair. Sighing, the queen of Luxuria stood up, walking back to her research projects in the royal library, asking herself if this was truly the way forward.
And through all of this, Issei lay there, unconscious.
~Chapter, End!~
