Two Days Later:
Dining Hall, Azathoth Manor:
Isaiah's POV:
"And that's everything that happened?" Sirzechs asked me as the head guard of our former protection detail took notes next to him and I nodded, turning to my peerage.
"That's everything, right?" I asked and they all nodded before I turned back to Sirzechs.
"Yeah, that's about everything." I said, to which he smiled and nodded and turned to the head guard.
"Go back to the Underworld along with your battalion, but leave a few men here to monitor Kuoh Town just in case. When you arrive in the Underworld, take those files to Ajuka and Falbium and they'll know what to do with them.
"Yes, Lord Lucifer!" The man barked with a salute and Sirzechs nodded before he teleported away, Air Current Sense showing that most of the guards were gone with them as the ones remaining floated away from the mansion.
"I commend and thank every one of you for taking care of Bedeze and his peerage, but I do wish that you didn't have to sacrifice an arm to do so." He said with a frown as he stared at the stump of what's left of my left arm, but I just shook my head and waved his concern off with a smile.
"Eh, it's just an arm. I'm already busy with a runic arm to replace it, so you shouldn't be that concerned." I said and he just chuckled as he shook his head while Grayfia sighed from behind him.
"I wish you would take this more seriously, but I suppose knowing you, you'd rather focus on the present instead of the what-ifs." He said with a smile and I chuckled as I nodded before we both stood up.
"Well, tell Rias and the others that they can now go back to their previous mansions, but a few of my personal guardsmen will be staying just in case Bedeze had someone to come for them just in case he lost."
"I'll make sure to inform them, though I don't think Tsubaki and Akeno will be happy about going back to their previous living conditions."
"You can bet on that." Kuroka said with a smile, making me sigh as Sirzechs chuckled and gave me a pat on the shoulders.
"That's why I only have my Fia~One beautiful and lovely wife that's just for me, isn't that right Fia?" He said to Grayfia, who just blushed slightly before she pulled him towards her by the cheek.
"Please act according to your title, Lord Lucifer."
"Ookayys." He said and she couldn't help the slight grin on her face as he gave her a grin before the Gremory crest appeared under them and they disappeared.
"They're going to fuck now, aren't they?"
"Really, Issei? That's the one thing you focused on?" I asked with a groan as the rest of the peerage shook their heads with sighs.
"Hey, everyone was thinking it. I'm the only one who had the balls to say it."
"…I can't even say anything to that. Just go and get the rest of the house and tell them to come meet us here." I said with a sigh and he grinned as he saluted and walked out.
"Why did you make him a peerage member again?" Kuroka asked as we watched him leave and I shrugged.
"He was a gullible little fool that wanted to become Harem King, but I guess it was also my greed talking. Then again, I don't regret my decision. He brings a breath of fresh air to us rule sticklers."
"Now, I know that's a lie. The only one who actually cares about the rules is Valerie and I and even then, we follow them very loosely. The rest of you are complete loose cannons." Kuroka said with a raised eyebrow and I grinned at her as Bardou, Samson, Meredith, Saji and I gave unashamed shrugs.
Hey, rules are meant to be broken, right?
A few minutes Later:
"Nope! I'm not leaving." Akeno said with a huff and a childish pout as she crossed her arms, not even looking at while Tsubaki nodded with a cute frown next to her.
"I agree. If Kuroka is not leaving, then neither are we."
"…I expected this kind of response from her, but you too Tsubaki?" I asked and she just pouted as she nodded.
"When a woman can't be with her man, she can't help but think about the kinds of things he gets up to while she's not there. 90% of the time it's focused entirely on him cheating on her." I just groaned at that and Kuroka's smug grin didn't help calm them before I sighed.
"You guys not going to help?" I asked Rias and Sona, groaning as they both shook their heads.
"Never get between a woman and her prize if you want to avoid death." Sona said with Rias nodding before I turned to the peerages.
"What about you guys?" I asked their peerages before letting out a defeated sigh as they all shook their heads.
"This is the best entertainment we've had from Fukukaichou in a long time, so why would we stop it?" Momo said with a smile, the rest of Sona's peerage nodding along with her words.
"Stopping Akeno from getting what she wants is a death sentence." Koneko said with a frown, Gasper giving a grave nod besides her and I sighed before I turned to my last hope.
"What about you, Asia? Can't you help?" I asked the former nun, which surprised me as I didn't think she would arrive this early in the timeline.
Apparently, the Fallen Angel incident happened earlier, though only Raynare had more than 3 other Fallen with her(about 300 total) and they also had a lot more exorcists, so Rias, Sona and their peerages had to take care of them while we were busy with Bedeze.
Apparently, Rias found the former nun when Raynare was just about to place her on the Sacred Gear Extractor to take her Sacred Gear and by using her silver tongue, she managed to get the naive nun to join her peerage after she took care of all the rogue exorcists and Fallen Angels.
"Um…I…" Asia trailed off as she was unsure of what to do before Rias spoke
. "He's trying to manipulate you, Asia. Don't listen to him." Akeno provided with a smile aimed at me and I sighed as Aisa frowned cutely at me.
"Ah, forgive him, Lord for his sins-Ow~!" She yelped at the spike of pain flashing through her head and I gave a smug smirk at the hint of pain on Rias' face before I sighed at the pleased smile on Akeno's.
Should have known it would only make her more horny.
Back to my current dilemma, I stared at two of my girlfriends and knowing that the two of them would rather tie themselves to my bed than leave again, I sighed before an idea came to mind.
"Fine, how about this? Since I know you girls won't leave unless I force you to, I have an alternative. You girls can stay and sleep in my room and we can even make my room, closet and bathroom bigger to fit all four of us living there, but in return, I have an Isa-day, where none of you bother me for the entirety of the day." I said with a smile, the three of them frowning as they glanced at each other before they nodded and turned to me.
"We accept." They said in unison and I smiled as I nodded.
And just like that, my Isa-time has returned.
"So, what is the latest news on Riser? Does he still want to marry you?" I asked Rias and I was confused at the happy smile that appeared on her face, my confusion growing even further as she giggled.
"Yeah, turns out Riser doesn't want to do the marriage at all." She said, shocking and bewildering me as I raised an eyebrow.
"…Huh?" Was all I could get and she giggled as she nodded.
"I know, right?! That was my reaction when Mother and Father told me the news. We both knew that I would keep denying it and he would keep shortening the date, which would lead to a Rating Game and the winner could decide what happened with the marriage contract. However, with your Holy-Demonic Blades and Abyss Break, Akeno' Holy Lightning, Koneko's Nekomata transformation and Gasper's Forbidden Balor View, he decided to end it because he'd rather spare himself, his family and his peerage the humiliating defeat."
"…So you're telling me that I could have ended it years ago if I just made him bitch out of the fight?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and she giggled as she nodded.
"…Good to know he has a bit of self-preservation that's still working in that gigantic ego of his." I said with a hum, making her giggle as she nodded.
Two Months Later:
Isaiah's Room, Azathoth Manor:
"So, what's the reason you have for pulling me from my peaceful sleep?" I asked Mel as I appeared in the desolate sword-ridden battle field I call a mindscape and he chuckled as he shrugged.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just going to inform you that Project Arsenal has been completed for the past three months and I thought you forgot." I froze at his words before I snapped out of my shock and glared at the smiling bastard sitting on his throne of blades.
"What the hell do you mean the project's been done for the past three months?! You mean I could have used it during my battle with Bedeze?" I asked and groaned as he chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah, you could have, but it wouldn't have made a difference." He said, to which I frowned.
"What do you mean 'It wouldn't have made a difference'? Of course it would have! Project Arsenal AKA Nephilim's Playground is our theorized pinnacle of the Sword Birth and Blade Blacksmith fused together. By releasing the seals the OG placed on both of the Sacred Gears and then fusing it with my body, I would have been able to use a bastardized form of my Concept without having to resort to Abyss Break every time I needed it and we both know how powerful Abyss Break is at full power." I said and he shook his head with a sigh.
"Turns out we completely underestimated the OG, though we should have seen it coming since he was able to seal away the Embodiment of Chaos and Destruction on his own."
"What do you mean by that?"
"The seals we were able to break were merely a fifth of the seals on both Sacred Gears and not just that, but those seals were only there to help keep the Sacred Gears from fusing with each other. Now that they're gone, Sword Birth and Blade Blacksmith are one entirely new Creation-Type Sacred Gear, but unfortunately, this new Sacred Gear can still only create swords."
"…So how long until we actually release the full seals on both Sacred Gears?" I asked and he just sighed.
"If my calculations are correct, two or three years if I focus only on unlocking every seal and a decade if I have to help you during battles or Abyss Break." My eyes widened at that.
"And that's with the extensive knowledge we have on all the runic languages?" I asked and he gave a tired smile as he nodded, making me sigh before I shook my head.
"With how strong our Holy-Demonic Blades are now, there's no need to worry about having something more powerful now and even then, it would take too long to unravel every seal while we're busy fighting. No, you take a break and if needed, we'll figure something out."
"Sure thing. Now, go back to sleep." He said and I rolled my eyes as he lifted his hand before flicking me on the forehead, darkness consuming my mind as I fell asleep.
Three Months Later:
Los Roques, Venezuela:
"This is a nice spot." I said with a smile as I looked out at the beach we appeared on, dressed in just a pair of swimming trunks and a Hawaiian shirt that was left unbuttoned, revealing my bare chest.
"Well, I wanted us to have a nice, quiet vacation and this is the most secluded on my family's vacation islands, so I decided to pick it." Rias said with a smile as she was dressed in a two-piece crimson bikini and a see-through lilac over her bikini, making me smile and nod before she walked off to unroll her towel.
"Freedom!/ Swimming Time!" Issei and Saji shouted respectively as the two of them threw off their shirts and jumped into the cold water, Samson roaring after them with glee as he leapt into the air wearing nothing but a speedo before crashing into the ocean. Issei and Saji sputtered for air as they tossed and turned frantically in the waves before the water calmed down and they surfaced, glaring at the grinning giant.
"That's a sight I didn't need to see." Meredith grumbled as she was dressed in a cute baby blue one-piece, making me chuckle before she, along with Koneko, who was dressed in a white one-piece, and Gasper, who was dressed in a pair of dark red swimming trunks and a sleeveless crimson shirt, all walked off to the side while carrying their tools for their sand castle adventures.
"I must say, I've never been thankful for the fact that being a Dhampir means I'm immune to sunlight." Valerie said with a smile as she lifted her shades, dressed in a two piece bikini that had a floral design on it along with dark blue rimmed sunglasses as she took them off and hooked them to her top.
"I know, right? This is a nice sight. I just wish Tsubaki was here to share it with us." I said with a smile before I grunted as elbows smashed into both of my sides.
"You have two girlfriends here with you and you're complaining that the third one that isn't here?" Kuroka asked with a cute frown on my left, dressed in probably one of the most scandalous bikini suits I've ever seen. It was a black string bikini, but her nipples were covered just perfectly to be legal and the bottom might as well have been painted on with how revealing it was.
"He must have forgotten about us two, Kuroka." Akeno said on my right with a far-too-friendly smile. She, on the other hand, had decided to go with a light violet two-piece bikini that, while far more revealing than the average one, wasn't as scandulous as Kuroka's one. She was also wearing a straw sunhat and sunglasses with a light violet rim.
"Come on, you girls both know I like to treat all of your equally, but I suppose I can make it up for her with a date night." I muttered before a punch in my left arm made me turn to Kuroka, who winced as she shook her hand.
"You forgot it was a prosthetic, didn't you?" I said with an amused smile and she rolled her eyes.
"When it works as good as the previous one, you tend to forget that it's made out of the Underworld's strongest metals. It's freaky how skilled you are with runes and enchantments." She said with a frown and I just smirked as I shrugged, glancing at my new prosthetic arm.
I didn't have to gather the material needed; just woke up one day with a pouch of Agreanite shards, which was the same material the Evil Pieces were made of, and three stack of Lilucium bars, which was the strongest metal in the entire Underworld, and talking to Rias revealed that Lady Gremory herself had personally seen to it that these materials were dropped off at my house.
Got to love the Gremory family.
Anyway, after a few experiments with how each material reacted to the different runic languages, a magical diagram of the human arm that also showed how demonic energy flowed through it when that human was a reincarnated Devil and three months of tinkering, it finally paid off as I managed to create an exact replica of my former left arm.
It also felt the same, even down to the sensations and how it channelled demonic energy perfectly, though there was just a slight problem.
That problem being that it took a bit of my demonic energy to use and if I stopped channelling demonic energy into it, the arm would shut down and fall off. This problem I couldn't fix no matter what language I used, so I just decided to keep it as is.
"Oh~Isa~ Do you mind putting a little bit of sunscreen on my back, pretty please?" Akeno asked from the side and both Kuroka and I looked to the right before we both gave a deadpan stare at the little sadist smiling happily, lying on her front on top of a towel with her bikini top taken off and a bottle of sunscreen in her hand that she was shaking.
"Do I even want to know why your top is off?" I asked and she giggled as shrugged.
"To make sure I don't get tanlines." She answered and I sighed as I walked towards her and sat down on her back, with my knees on both of her sides. She looked a bit surprised at my sitting position and as she turned to look at me, I grinned as I softly pushed my hand onto her back in-between her shoulder blades, making her unable to look up as I smiled and took the bottle of sunscreen from her hands.
"Stay still." I ordered and she gave a soft moan as she nodded, taking a sharp breath as I squirted a bit of the cold oil onto her back before moaning as I put the bottle down and slowly began to rub it in.
"I'm definitely next." Kuroka muttered as she hugged me from behind and I chuckled as I felt her bare breasts press into my back. Both of us ignored Akeno below me, who was biting a towel in between her teeth to stifle her moans and yelps as I sent a weak electric pulse through my arms and to all of her pleasure spots, making her shake with a weak orgasm as I slowly massaged her.
"That's if you can handle it." Kuroka just giggled as she nodded before I chuckled.
Oh, today is going to be a fun day.
A fun day indeed.
A/N: And there we go! A nice, little peaceful chapter to end off the arc.
Next up, the Kokabiel arc!
I also tried to explain Project Arsenal as best as I could and it was my way of giving Isaiah a more powerful tool to use instead of his normal two Sacred Gears because believe me…he's going to need it.
Now, I know that there are many people that are complaining that Isaiah is becoming too OP and that he's just another Gary Stu, but believe me, I did that for pure shits and giggles because now, the series is about to become serious and I'm about to show you how powerful these villains are going to be compared to their canon versions.
Kokabiel is a 10-winged Fallen Angel and I'm about to show you why he's feared by most of the lower ranks.
Loki is a Trickster God and I'm going to show why his illusions are feared by all.
Fenrir is supposed to be one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the world and I'm about to make him that strong.
Like I said at the beginning when I started this fanfiction and people were complaining about the power scaling.
Isaiah got stronger…his real villains got stronger.
Now, as always, enjoy, read, review and until the next one…
Ba-Bye~!
