A/N: So, this is a very important notice and I want everyone to read it.
There might not be a chapter next week.
Now, this is not because I'm a lazy bastard(because I am but I would force myself to write a chapter if I needed to).
No, the reason there's not going to be a chapter is because of the fact for the past 3 weeks, I've either been having a very bad cold or very bad flu. Not sure which yet.
Even when I was writing the new chapter for The Unholy Wolf as the chapter for Arctic Trident, my mind felt sluggish as hell and it feels as if my body is in constant pain, but I forced myself to finish the chapters.
However, I will be going to the doctor on Monday(which is tomorrow since it's sunday midnight here where I live) and I'm fairly certain they're going to tell me to take the week off and rest my mind and body.
That's the reason for this A/N. Don't worry as that means I'll be doing a double update the week after that for both stories, but yeah.
If I don't upload, I probably felt far too sick to even think of beginning the new chapter.
Anyway, let me not keep you guys up any longer and let the chapter…BEGIN!
One Week Later:
Azathoth Manor, Kuoh Town:
Isaiah's POV:
Waking up, I gave a yawn as I tried to stretch before I froze as I felt my arms being pinned down while someone laid on my chest.
'Ah right, I forgot about this.' I thought with a soft sigh as I opened my eyes, seeing Akeno and Tsubaki lying on my right and left arm respectively while Kuroka was sleeping happily on my chest.
It's been a week since Sirzechs had made everyone staying in the Azathoth Manor and since that first night, the girls have decided to just sleep with me in my bed while leaving their clothes and stuff in their own rooms.
Hence, the bodies pressed against me and why I'm currently cherishing every bit of free time I can have.
"Uwah~."
'Ah, speak of the devils.' I thought with a smile as Akeno yawned cutely, Tsubaki snuggling deeper with a smile while Kuroka stretched herself out.
"I wonder if this is what Heaven is supposed to feel like." I muttered out loud with a smile as I felt mounds of bountiful flesh rubbing against me as the girls stood up, making them giggle as Akeno smiled at me
. "I think this is what your Heaven is supposed to be like." She said and I hummed in thought before I nodded.
"Yeah, that sounds about right." That made her giggle before I smiled as Tsubaki leaned over and gave him a soft kiss. Kuroka and Akeno pouted at that while glaring at Tsubaki, who giggled as she pulled back and saw the smirk on my face.
"Why do you always steal the first kiss?" Kuroka whined and Tsubaki shrugged.
"It's not my fault both of you miss the chance to do so. You're too lazy to think about stealing the first morning kiss and Akeno teases him too much before she kisses him."
"Hey, don't look at me. Like you girls said, all's fair in love and war." I said with my hands held up as Akeno and Kuroka pouted at me, making them frown before they both crossed their arms under their chests and huffed.
"And you girls wonder why I don't cherish my Isa-time." I said as I sat upright, giving each of them a quick kiss before I stood up and flipped over Kuroka and onto the ground.
"I'm going to go take a shower." I said as I walked towards the bathroom, chuckling softly as all thre eof them quickly stood up.
"First round is mine!" Kuroka exclaimed as I opened the bathroom door and she rushed in past me.
"Second is mine." Tsubaki said with a smile as she took off her negligee, making Akeno pout before I leaned down to her.
"They never said anything about round 3, 4, 5 or 6." I whispered softly and she smirked mischievously before she giggled and walked into the room, dropping her underwear on the floor.
'Ah, this is the life.' I thought with a smile as I watched the trio of beauties climb into the shower, fighting over the shamppo as I smiled and took off my pyjama pants before closing the bathroom door.
An Hour Later:
Dining Hall, Azathoth Manor:
"You guys heard everything, huh?" I said with a smile as I saw the bright red faces of the Gremory and Sitri peerages, Rias and Sona just as red as they glared at me while Samson, Bardou, Valerie and Meredith were laughing their asses off.
"You're a master of runes. I didn't need to hear my Queen's screams of pleasure." Sona grumbled and I gave a sheepish chuckle as Tsubaki turned a bright red.
"Nor did we need to hear how big you are, how deep you're going and how full you make them." Rias said with a glare and I winced slightly at that as Akeno and Kuroka gave unashamed grins.
"I didn't complain about your nightly playing you get up to, especially your fantasies about a certain black-haired guy we all know." Akeno said to Rias with a knowing smile, making Rias sputter incoherently as I chuckled.
"Now, now, Akeno. Let Rias keep her fantasies to herself." I said, making her giggle before we all sat down.
Sitting down at the head of the table, Akeno sat down next to Rias, who was sitting to my direct right, Tsubaki sat down next to Sona, who was sitting next to Akeno, and Kuroka sat down at my direct left.
Clapping my hands, maids and butlers walked in, putting down platter after platter of different foods from different countries while Rias gave me an amused grin.
"You've been wanting to do that for a while, haven't you?" I just grinned as I nodded, making everyone giggle before I smiled.
"Well, dig in."
"So, how goes your company, Isa?" Rias asked as most of the peerages spoke with each other and I smiled.
"Well, I made a trading agreement with Shimura's Shipping and Trading Enterprise and I've also taken over 75% of the rival shipping companies in Kuoh after they tried to blackmail me into working under them, with Shimura taking over the other 25%."
"Your first thought was to kill them and if Valerie and I didn't talk you out of it, you probably would have just to prove a point." Kuroka said with a deadpan, to which I just smiled sheepishly as Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno sighed.
"Well, I suppose we can thank Kuroka for you not becoming a mass murderer."
"I wasn't going to kill that many people. Just the CEOs, their families and a few of their close friends to prove the point. After that, they would have joined me with no hesitation." That just made them raise an eyebrow at me as I frowned and huffed.
"Fine, I was going to kill the boards of directors, the CEOs and their families along with the Department Heads. After that, I was going to make a few of their most promising workers the new CEOs and Department Heads."
"…And we're sure he's wasn't a Devil before you made him one?" Sona asked Rias, making me groan as Rias nodded.
"Yeah, father checked his entire bloodline. His entire family are all humans."
"I wonder about that." Sona muttered and I rolled my eyes as the girls giggled.
"Anyway, yeah, after that, life has been quiet."
"Apart from fighting the Hound of Ireland and losing an arm?" Samson asked and I chuckled at the girls glaring at him as I nodded.
"Yeah, apart from fighting the Hound of Ireland and losing an arm."
"I still can't believe you survived a battle with the Hound of Ireland…and gave Tsubaki Gáe Bulg. What about me?!" Akeno whined, to which I just raised an eyebrow.
"Does your fighting style fit the spear?" I asked, to which she just pouted as the girls smiled amusedly.
"Besides, I know both you and Kuroka are Wizard/ Power-type fighters while Tsubaki is a Power/ Technique-type fighter along with the fact that she's the only close-range fighter out of you three, it would make sense for me to give her Gáe Bulg as while it's not a naginata, a spear is close enough to it that she can quickly learn to wield it."
"I hate it when you're right." She muttered and I smiled at her.
"Don't worry, dear. If I get something that fits your fighting style, then I'll make sure to give it to you."
"And what about me?" Kuroka asked with a raised eyebrow, to which I just smiled.
"Sorry, love, but you were second." I said and she just stared at me before she sighed.
"You're lucky you're the only guy I like." She muttered and I smiled as I lifted her hand and kissed the back of it.
"Oi! Let us in or else I'm ripping your entrails out!"
"Yeah! What he said!" We heard two voices shouted from the front courtyard and I sighed as my peerage giggled while the others looked confused.
"I'll be back." I muttered as I stood up, walking out of the dining hall and towards the front entrance.
"Boss! Tell these idiots that we're allowed here!" Issei shouted as the Boosted Gear was shining on his left arm while Saji was standing behind him with Absorption Line on both his arms. The guards gave them both nervous stares as they could feel the draconic aura flowing from their gauntlets before they let out sighs of relief as I walked towards them.
"Don't worry. They're a part of my peerage." I said with a smile, making the guards nod as they put their bidents away while Issei and Saji dismissed their Sacred Gears.
"Come on, boys. I'd rather not explain to Lord Sirzechs why half of the manor was destroyed." I said and they both grinned and nodded before walking into the manor, following me until we reached the dining hall.
Entering it, Issei's and Saji's eyes widened at the girls turning to glance back and I noticed Sona and Rias focusing on Issei intently as I smiled.
"Everyone, this is Issei Hyoudou, my pawn of 6 and the wielder of the Boosted Gear, and Genshirou Saji, my pawn of 2 and the wielder of the four Vritra Gears."
"You also forgot the biggest pervert in history." Saji muttered, making the girls frown as Issei glared at him.
"Don't worry. We've curbed…about most of it, but unfortunately, it's so deeply engraved into his soul that we couldn't get rid of all of it." I said with a sigh as Rias and Sona stared at me before looking back at the sheepish Issei.
"At least I don't shout boobs every time I see a girl now." Issei mumbled, making everyone raise an eyebrow as I chuckled.
"Nah, you just shout it the moment you see a girl you like." I said, making him huff as Saji chuckled.
"I don't know why you're laughing with how much we had to work on your delinquency." I said, to which he just grumbled as my peerage chuckled.
"Issei, Saji, this is Rias Gremory, heiress to House Gremory and my King, and Sona Sitri, heiress to House Sitri and her best friend." I introduced the two Kings, who stood up as Issei and Saji straightened up and bowed at the waist.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Sitri, Lady Gremory." Both Rias and Sona looked surprised before they turned to me as I smirked and shrugged.
"Like I said, Kuroka and I took a while, but we did manage to train them." I said, Kuroka nodding as the two Kings hummed in approvement.
"Well done. Mother would be proud." Rias said and I nodded.
"Yeah, because if their etiquette training wasn't well done, I'd be taught everything I know from scratch all over again." I said, to which Rias giggled but she didn't deny it.
"You can go sit, boys." I said, to which they both stood back upright and nodded as they walked to sit down next to Samson, both paling slightly as Samson grinned sadistically at them.
"They made him mad a few times." I explained to the ones who looked confused, chuckling as Samson roughly stabbed through a piece of bacon and the plate into the table while making the two boys jump.
Later that day, Afternoon:
Azathoth Shipping Corporation:
"You feel that?" I asked Kuroka with a frown as I looked through my window out onto the city, Kuroka frowning with me as she nodded.
'Samson, Bardou, Valerie, Meredith, come to my office right now. Valerie, while you're coming up, get Issei and Saji and make clones of them to disguise as them while they're here.'
'Will do.' Valerie answered back with her telepathy and as I disconnected and stood up from my chair, I loosened my tie as Samson, Bardou, Valerie, Meredith, Issei and Saji appeared from teleportation crests.
As they appeared, my frown deepened as I felt the air around my office vibrate and shift for a few seconds before it stopped.
"So, what's going on?" Issei asked, with both him and Saji looking confused at our frowns as Samson spoke.
"So, Bardou and I were not the only ones who felt the air shift?" Samson asked and I nodded, Issei and Saji looking confused before their eyes widened as Kuroka let off a youjutsu blast through the window and revealed nothing but a destroyed city below us.
"We're in a Rating Game arena, a one-day long war arena probably." I muttered as I saw the destroyed city before I focused my eyes and noticed the slight glint of light at the far end of the city.
"Anyone else see that?" I asked and they all nodded as we stared at the light before Kuroka waved her hand, a purple cube appearing around us and protecting us as a pillar of lightning came down onto the destroyed tower and completely destroyed it.
"Who wants to bet that this is Bedeze Abaddon?" I asked, making the peerage just roll their eyes as I chuckled before I shook my head.
"All right. Issei, Saji, Meredith, left side of the city. Samson, Valerie, Bardou, right side. Kuroka, with me. We're going centre. If you find anyone, eliminate and erase. Attack first before they can even see you. When you finish getting rid of all threats on your sides, go and help the others or come to the centre of the city. Also, Issei, Saji, the entirety of the city is enemy territory. Understood?"
"Yes!" They all chorused, with Issei and Saji grinning, before they disappeared, Kuroka undoing her bun and letting her hair hang loosely behind her as her secretary outfit transformed into her black kimono.
"So, why don't we go and say hi?" I said with a smile as I felt a powerful demonic aura, nearly twice my own, and another person walking towards us.
"By your command, my lord." Kuroka said with a teasing smile and a bow, making me roll my eyes as she giggled before she linked our arms and we walked towards the middle of the city.
Time to get this party started.
At the Same Time:
Kuoh Central Mall, Kuoh Town(Destroyed):
3rd Person POV:
"The enemy peerage had split up to the left, right and centre respectively." A beautiful woman said as she kept track of the Azathoth peerage, her luscious blonde hair hanging behind her and one eye a dark lilac as her other eye glowed a bright crimson. She was dressed in a low-cut yellow crop top with a tan jacket that exposed her midriff, a pair of tight, black, spandex compression shorts that reached her upper thighs and a pair of brown, knee-high boots with orange over-the-knee socks.
"What about the boy?" A handsome man asked as he swished a glass of red wine in his hand, his blonde hair slicked back and his dark grey eyes glinting amusedly as he sat in a throne, dressed in clothing fit for a noble.
"He has taken the centre route as you predicted." That made the man chuckle as he nodded, placing the glass of wine on the armrest of the throne as he stood up.
"Laxus, Luthor, go and face the two boys and the girl on the left side of the city."
"Will do, Lord Bedeze." A large, muscular man with spiky blonde hair and a bald man said as they nodded.
The blonde man was dressed in a pair of dark magenta pants, a dark purple shirt with the top two buttons undone and a black coat with a fur collar hanging off of his shoulders.
The bald man was dressed in a double-breasted black suit, a dark silver watch on his left wrist that also had green gems studded onto it.
A dark green magic crest appeared under the two men before they disappeared, making Bedeze turn to the other two occupants in the room apart from him and the woman.
"Tom, Netero, the left side is yours."
"Assssss you wisssshhhhh, my lord." A pale-skinned man with no nose and crimson eyes said with a nod, a forked snake tongue flicking out of his mouth as he was dressed in a black hooded cloak while a bone-white wand hung loosely in the grip of his right hand.
"Oh sure, send the old man to fight the dog and the young ones." A cheery old man with a ponytail, a beard and long eyebrows said with a cheerful chuckle, wearing a t-shirt with the Japanese kanji for 'Heart' on the front of it, black track shorts and white socks.
"Don't start with your stupidity, Netero." Bedeze said with a frown and Netero frowned before he sighed and nodded, a sickly green magic crest appearing under both him and Tom before they disappeared.
"Come, Yang. I suppose you can keep his Queen busy while I fight the boy."
"Finally! I get to fight someone!" The blonde woman exclaimed happily, a stark contrast of her calm attitude from before and Bedeze just shook his head before he walked towards the location of Isaiah and Kuroka, Yang skipping after him.
A/N: Another chapter, another day!
