The Abyssal Lord (DxD)

[Gremory VIP Booth]

“Interesting choice Ddraig, didn't think you were willing to help the kid”

After watching Issei yell on the top of his lungs at Ddraig, everyone here was equally surprised that he knew that the dragon was watching him, but they were even more surprised when they found the dragon not ignoring Issei immediately.

Xeron couldn't contain his curiosity to be honest, especially when such an entertaining outcome was the direct creation of his familiar's actions.

So, he was the first one to speak.

“Well, our deal stated that he remains the Red Dragon Emperor even after our separation, so whether I like it or not, he is still the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation”

The crimson haired man spoke with a hint of annoyance, like he had swallowed a bitter bill and had no choice but to go through with it.

Which was true, considering that if it was up to him, he would've just killed the kid and got done with it.

“That's true I can't have you ruining my fun after all, but that still doesn't explain why you're helping him, or in this case testing him”

The black haired demon leaned back into his seat as he observed the dragon inside the arena go on a rampage.

It was a mindless beast, drunk in senseless and mindless slaughter, its desire for destruction was so strong that Xeron could smell it from here.

'Quite remarkable to be honest'

The Demon may have stopped mindless slaughter and destruction a long time ago, but his nature was that of chaos, and nothing complements chaos more than destruction, which he found himself appreciating more and more as of late.

“As I said before, I'm testing him to decide what to do with him, I can't have him tarnish the dragons' name after all”

“So this was your doing, Red Dragon of Domination. I wondered what had happened to the pawn of my sister”

The new voice drew the attention of the devils in the room, and looking at the entrance to the booth, they found two figures standing there.

One was obviously Sirzechs, everyone recognised his voice after all, but the other was unexpected.

“Serafall, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be commentating?”

“Ahhh! Aren't you supposed to be my king Xeron! Aren't you happy to see your adorable and sexy Levia-tan!”

It was the Satan Leviathan, who looked a little different than she normally does, she looked more beautiful, more full of life.

But, when no-one reacted in shock at what she just said, it was obvious they knew the reasons behind her sudden change in appearance.

“Hey, Hey! Grayfia-chan~”

With a face full of mischief, the Satan snaked her way towards the stone-faced devil maid.

Grayfia just casted an annoyed look at her long time rival and huffed quietly, which elicited a particularly evil smirk from the Satan.

“Do you know that I was the first piece of Xeron's peerage~ Grayfia-chan~”

She got close enough to nearly hug the maid, and as they now both stand at nearly the same height, the Satan's breath was felt inches away form the maids ears.

“How does it feel to have your master abandon you? I guess he has a favorite now~”

Serafall had a grin nearly as wide as her entire face, as she circled the maid while speaking practically into her ear, she hoped to at least get a reaction from the devil.

Serafall knew that Grayfia took her work as a maid extremely seriously, so even when she felt annoyed, she wouldn't let her emotions get the better of her. That's how she got the title of Ice Queen after all.

Not like that stopped Serafall from annoying the maid anyway, their rivalry dated back to the time of the great war after all.

But, Serafall had a small premonition, it was like something extremely terrible was about to happen.

‘What is this weird feeling?’

“You're lord Xeron's first peerage member, right?”

Feeling her hand swatted away, Serafall looked back at the maid and was surprised to see her ice cold face plastering a small smile.

The smile was extremely beautiful, like a fine work of art on a refined painting that deserves its own memorial.

But to Serafall, it was as if something had been triggered, the terrible feeling that she had suddenly skyrocketed.

“And I'm his Queen”

“...What?”

“I am his Queen, so….”

She hadn't heard it wrong, what the white haired witch said wasn't something of her imagination, and looking at no-one being surprised, it was true!!

Serafall watched it in slow motion, the small smile on the maid's ice cold face slowly got wider and wider, and after turning into a full on mocking smile.

“Know your place, bishop”

….

….

With no words spoken between them, a violent torrent of blue demonic energy suddenly rose out of Serafall, heading directly at the maid, which the latter met with a scoff, and a similar torrent of silver magic of her own.

“I'm going to kill you, cold-faced hag!!”

“You can try as many times as you want, short stack!!”

As if finally dropping the pretense they hurled insults as they stared daggers at each other.

They looked like they were about to start a fight at any moment, and a fight of such a magnitude would probably end up destroying half of the underworld.

Thankfully, that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

“Ok, that's enough you two”

The moment the demon who still had his eyes focused on the screen said, all the power the two devils accumulated suddenly vanished like it had never existed.

Nothing happened other than that, nobody even reacted much because they knew that would happen sooner or later, especially when they were all aware of the rivalry between Serafall and Grayfia.

Grayfia immediately bowed in acknowledgment to her lord and stood beside his seat in silence like she had been doing previously.

But as for Serafall, she found herself sitting in Xeron's lap, with his hand rubbing her head like one would do to a pet.

“Do be quiet, Serafall”

When Serafall found herself suddenly trapped, kidnapped by the big bad demon and kept between his strong and manly arms.

There was nothing she could do, she was reduced to nothing but squirming and begging for mercy, she knew it was helpless to resist, or the evil demon would swallow her whole.

So, she did the only thing a maiden in distress would do if faced with such a terrifying situation.

“...Yes, sir”

She leaned back into his chest and fully embraced her captive, not forgetting to move her butt from side to side to maximize the amount of skin contact between them as much as possible of course.

Xeron of course noticed what the little minx was up to and of course, he didn't plan to stop her anytime soon.

In fact, he decided to give her a reward for how hard she's working, so he leaned beside her head and gave her a small nipple on the ear lobe as he whispered into her ear.

“Good girl~”

‘shiver’

…

Everyone in the room chose to voluntarily ignore the antics of the Satan Leviathan, as they were used to them by now.

…They also chose to ignore how she appears to have been transformed into some sort of domestic animal, for their own sakes of course.

“Anyway, it has been a while since we saw each other, Sirzechs Lucifer. And yes, I was the reason behind the boy's sudden…change”

They all looked at the screen that was displaying the figure of a huge dragon tearing apart everything in its sight, flame and destruction were in its wake as it mowed down everything in its path.

It was certainly nothing a low class devil could hope to do, not even in their entire life time which by some was considered nearly infinite.

“Then I must thank you in advance, the matter concerning my sister's wedding has been weighing in my shoulders for a little while now”

The Satan bowed slightly in curtsy, which was quite a big deal considering that he was the literal Lucifer of the underworld.

But to the dragon, it was something minor, so he just nodded in acknowledgment and waved his hand in disinterest.

“Your stupid impulsive sister wasn't the reason behind my decision, as you may already have guessed”

“Still, it remains a fact that with this…dragon, running rampant inside the arena, it's a matter of time until she wins, even if she doesn't do anything”

“I still disapprove of you mindlessly supporting that spoiled little girl, Sirzechs”

The patriarch spoke with a noticeable frown in his face, which the Satan just responded with a wry smile to.

But before the Satan could defend himself, Xeron had already beaten him to doing so.

“Ignoring the sis-con. What did you do to the boy, Ddraig”

The sentence naturally triggered a collective stifled laughter between all of the devils inside the room.

Even Grayfia was giggling quietly to herself, which made the red haired the Satan's heart break all the more.

The only one who wasn't laughing was Serafall, whose brain isn't functioning properly at the moment.

“I pushed a greater part of my soul into his body, and while he is a devil and can't handle even a speck of my soul….”

“He's part dragon and shouldn't collapse on himself immediately. I see, do you want to turn him into a full dragon?”

The red haired dragon didn't immediately reply to the question, he looked once at the screen that displayed the climax of the fight, and as if confirming something, he turned back to answer the demon’s question.

“We'll see”

…….

[Rating Game Arena]

A dragon was the only thing that could be used to describe the creature that suddenly appeared inside the arena.

Monstrous fangs, a pair of ominous green eyes that glowed with power, two animalistic wings that sprouted from its back and spanned almost the entirety of its height.

Everything that was happening immediately froze, everyone that was moving immediately stopped dead in their tracks.

They couldn't do anything but watch as the beast slowly rose from the ground, their instincts frantically alarming them of the embedding danger, the severity of the situation.

But, they couldn't do anything, no one moved, and silence remained adamant even among the devils outside the arena, no-one uttered a single word.

“W-What is th-?!”

Siris, the knight that had been knocked back a few seconds before, and who was the closest to the monster, was the first one to react.

She rose to the sight of the dragon and slowly came to the realization of what she was currently seeing.

But before she could muster any sort of retaliation whatsoever, she was suddenly hit with a giant tail directly in the face, and was immediately bursted into particles.

One moment she was there, the second she was not, just like that.

Nobody even perceived what had just happened, the knights known as devils with superior mobility, rarely would you ever see a knight being eliminated by losing to a speeding blow.

But, with just one swipe firm a tail twice the height of her own body, the knight had been eliminated.

<Riser Phenex's knight have been eliminated>

The dry voice of the announcement slowly sank inside the mind of the participants, it slowly awakened their minds into what had just occurred, to what they had to deal with.

Ravel Phenex was the first one to realize what had happened, and she was to gather her demonic energy and prepare for a fight.

They were the superior team still, no matter how powerful a transformation could be, there's no way a low level devil could possibly overcome such a disparity in numbers.

“I-Isabella, Mihae. Distract him! Me, Ni and Li prepare a counter attack!!”

The Phenex daughter had a plan, she immediately noticed that the boy wasn't fully in control of his transformation, and no matter how much power he has, it wasn't infinite and thus can be used against him.

She quickly initiated a plan and actively ordered the two most capable devils under her to take quick action.

Her efforts were quite commendable, and if it was any other low class devil against her, they would surely lose.

But this wasn't any low level devil, it wasn't even a devil to begin with.

“ROOOOOOAR!!”

The dragon was infuriated, how dare such insignificant pebbles approach him in any way, how dare they try to even challenge his majesty with their inferior quantity of power.

Without even moving an inch, it turned its vicious maw and aimed it at the two approaching figures with a mocking look palpable in its eyes.

Crimson energy started gathering at the end of its mouth, a large torent of mana visibly swirled around the dragon in rage, the surrounding ground cracked underneath the force of the massive dragon.

Not even a second after, a huge beam of crimson energy bolted out of the monster's maw, it swirled with incredible power as it cut through the air and into its targets.

Which, didn't even get a chance to see what hit them.

<Riser Phenex's Rook and Bishop have been eliminated>

Even after completely annihilating the two girls, the beam power didn't just stop there and with a massive explosion sound, it hit the principal's building in the distance, completely splitting it in half and toppling it to the ground.

It was the same building that Rias and Riser were currently facing off in.

“President!!”

“Brother!!”

The blonde pair of Gremory knight and Phenex daughter yelled out in horror, but even that didn't last much, because a blast soo powerful it produced aftershocks that knocked both of them back flying.

<Rias Gremory's mutated Bishop has been eliminated>

Amidst all the destruction and mayhem, the dragon stood tall among the ruble with the same animalistic expression, it didn't care about the amount of damages, it didn't care about who had been hit with such an explosion, and as it turned to the devils that were still conscious, only one thing was gripping at its mind.

And that was pure and unadulterated chaos.

“Ravel-sama!!”

After being knocked back by the explosion, Ravel got up to the sound of her brother's othe Knight dashing into her direction.

The Brunette immediately came to her comrades' side, and after unsheathing her sword, helped them get up.

“M-My head hurts, n-nya”

“I c-couldn't even do anything, nya”

The knight helped the catgirl twins get up as well, having been similarly knocked back by the explosion with their king's sister, but unlike Ravel, they were closer to the explosion.

“Are you both alright?”

Ravel gently asked the twins with great kindness, something that was unexpected for a high class devil who often treated low class devils as meat shields, but was to be expected from Ravel, who was known for her inherent kindness.

“We're fine Ravel-sama”

“Yes, that was nothing for us!”

The twins answered with assuring enthusiasm, but anyone looking even remotely with attention would notice the uncertainty hiding behind the surface.

And being the observant lady that she was, Ravel definitely did notice it.

She looked back at the dragon, who was slowly approaching, and deciding that they shouldn’t waste more time, she looked back at the three girls by her side.

“We haven't heard about my brother's elimination from the announcement yet, he's obviously still alive and preparing an attack with Yubelluna-san”

Her words made light return to the three girls by her side once more, the intensity and sudden shift of the situation had made them forget about their greatest assets.

But now that they notice, they still have a chance.

“The dragon seems to be eliminating every one on sight, we'll split and try to buy as much time as we can”

Her words ended with a pair of flaming wings that were suddenly let free from her back, and understanding her the meaning of her words, the knight and two pawns let out their own devil wings.

“Run as fast as you can and in opposite directions, and if you have an opportunity to attack, seize it”

““Yes! Ravel-sama””

Ravel was the first to take off, followed by the knight then the two pawns.

Due to being a high class devil, Ravel obviously had an advantage when flying, especially due to her superior wings, a pair of flaming wings that were a signature of the Phenex house main line.

So immediately bolted through the air and get as much distance away from the dragon as possible, and due to her significant effort in escape the dragon didn't seem to have followed her.

“ROOOOOOAR!!”

Or that's what she thought.

How could it let the prey escape form its claws? How dare the deny the fate it had laid out for them?

Its huge mechanical looking wings that were unused until now spread out in a large enough span to darken the sky, its eyes shone in green light that promised terrible fortune for the unfortunate souls that faced it.

The ground cracked under the monster's increasing weight, and with a huge sonic boom, it lunged at the direction where the prey had escaped to.

Ravel couldn't even look back, she didn't get the chance to even blink, a moment she saw a great shadow had been casted above her, the second she was hit in the back with enough force to send her plummeting into the ground.

““Ravel-sama!!””

The three girls screamed in horror, the force of such a hit would have normally killed any devil instantly, pulverizing any and all of their bones and if they're lucky enough and fact when they saw the their co-leader bursting into particles after creating a crater several meters wide after hitting the ground was proof of the brutality of the attack.

<Ravel Phenex have been eliminated>

The announcement did nothing but worsen the situation, it only confirmed that their third strongest link had been eliminated, and reminded the girls of their increasingly grim situation.

They froze in place, unable to decide what they should do. Should they flee like Ravel said they should, or should they fight and ultimately lose like all their comrades they did before.

But just as their thoughts suddenly started getting increasingly grim, a sudden voice was heard loud and clear, grabbing the attention of the dragon.

“Issei-kun!! What's happened to you! You got Gasper out! You would have eliminated the president!!”

It was the Gremory knight, Kiba Yuuto
