"Alright." Aiden picked up the wooden sword with a serious expression.

The rest of the afternoon, man and god spent their time in the training room.

Takemikazuchi's guidance addressed Aiden's final weaknesses.

Although the immediate improvement in Aiden's strength wasn't substantial... mastery over combat techniques and control over his power would require time, the session broadened his horizons.

The swordsmanship Takemikazuchi taught differed significantly from the m...

DN : [282] The Banquet

Time flew by, and before anyone realized it, a week had passed.

After staying at the Gremory household for three days, August felt it was time to return to his own territory. He had spent three days with the House of Sitri and three days with the House of Gremory, maintaining a balance.

Upon returning to the place where his journey in this world began, August felt a twinge of nostalgia. This place was both familiar and strange to him.

It's worth mentioning that this time, Ri...

DH : [81] Good Lesson

"Thank you for the lesson. Please continue." Aiden nodded thoughtfully. Despite understanding the gravity of Takemikazuchi's words, he couldn't help but suppress a laugh. Takemikazuchi seemed to think Aiden's sharp intake of breath was due to his divine presence, but in reality, it was just concern for his delicate area.

However, Aiden grasped the underlying message: not to be constrained by identity or methods; any means could be used to defeat the enemy.

Even though Aiden wasn't...

DN : [281] Predicament

Without disturbing Rias, August dressed and stepped out of the room. Outside the door, Hilda and Yolda were already waiting.

As soon as they saw August emerge, their eyes instinctively darted toward the room, filled with a burning curiosity. Rias's late-night visit had clearly sparked their interest.

"My lord, it seems you had quite an enjoyable evening." Hilda remarked with a smile, while Yolda turned away, stifling a giggle.

"Alright, go prepare some breakfast. You know wh...

DH : [80] Swordsmanship

Aiden woke up naturally, just as Hestia was about to return.

"Hmm, it's already this late. Should I have breakfast or not?" Aiden glanced at the clock out of habit. It was ten o'clock.

For Aiden, who usually had lunch around twelve, this in-between time was a bit awkward.

"Hestia must have made breakfast. It would be a waste not to eat it." He decided without much thought, to get out of bed.

After washing up, Aiden headed to the kitchen.

Sure enough, Hestia had p...

DN : [280] Done!

The scene shifted to Rias's room, where Venelana looked at her daughter.

Rias looked back at her mother, puzzled by why she was suddenly so anxious to see her.

"Rias, I want to ask you, what do you think of August?"

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Just asking. If you truly don't like him, I can personally talk to your father and dissolve this engagement."

"What does that mean?"

"I am your mother, you are my daughter, naturally, I will stand by you."

Hearing...

DH : [79] Takemikazuchi

"Phew, finally back." 

"We really owe it to Aiden this time." 

"Aiden is indeed powerful, especially for someone who just leveled up to Level 2." 

"No one can doubt Aiden's strength. If he hadn't appeared when he did, we might not have made it back unscathed." Kashima Ouka said gravely, who had been silent until then. "We need to be more cautious in the future. We can't always count on Aiden being there to save us."

"Yes." The other five responded in hus...

DN : [279] Little Brat Return

All around were the House of Gremory's territories, essentially the personal property of the House of Gremory.

Here, including Xenovia, Koneko, Kiba, and all other peerage, each person had their own territory, acquired after becoming Rias's peerage.

Each territory had specialized caretakers, so they didn't need to manage it themselves and could go anytime.

August wandered around for a few laps. Unlike the human world, the number of devils in the Underworld was not large, and...

DN : [278] Widow is the Best!

Without much conversation with Venelana, August left.

Under the guidance of Grayfia, he made his way to the guest room. Unlike the Sitri household, Rias had not yet become August's woman, so naturally, he did not receive the same treatment as he did at the Sitri household.

This was also the first time August carefully observed Grayfia. However, while looking at her, he noticed something strange.

His nominal sister-in-law seemed to haven't bloomed yet.

Moreover, even th...

DH : [78] Reciprocating

Aiden gladly accepted Kashima Ouka's offer of assistance. After gathering the spoils, the group set off together.

The journey back was uneventful, with no more encounters with infant dragons or monsters. Thanks to the enthusiastic Kashima Ouka, Aiden and the members of the Takemikazuchi Familia engaged in lively conversation, making the trip back to the surface smooth and pleasant.

An interesting episode occurred along the way. The members of the Takemikazuchi Familia had already ...

DN : [277] Bad Man!

Three days had passed since returning to the Underworld, and August had spent the entire time at the Sitri household.

During these three days, August and Sona had discreetly explored many aspects of their relationship at home.

Moreover, with the consent of their parents, coupled with Sona's desire to bear children for August, these three days had seen August casting aside his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

However, after three days, Sona had put a stop to August's antics and in...

DH : [77] I Need More Powerful Monster!

"What kind of magic is this? Such amazing speed of release, such incredible power." Hitachi Chigusa exclaimed as Aiden unleashed five Firestorms in quick succession.

"I don't know, but at least we can finally rest easy." The captain of the group, Kashima Ouka sighed.

"So fast, such swift swordsmanship." Yamato Mikoto is no longer worried about Aiden, a faint smile finally appearing on his face.

"This young man looks about Mikoto's age, right?"

"Seem so."

"So cool...

DN : [276] Conversation

After letting out his frustration, Zeoticus Gremory also calmed down, casting a glance towards Grayfia beside him, a hint of apology in his eyes.

However, with everyone present, including Rias's peerage, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to his daughter-in-law, so he remained silent.

Venelana shared her husband's concern, grabbing Grayfia's hand.

As parents, they naturally knew about their son's situation. However, what could they do about it? Although it was a thorn in...

DH : [76] Vergil Must Be Proud!

In the end, the beautiful girl with a sword at her waist, Yamato Mikoto, joined the Hestia Familia out of guilt and would even become a member of the main party in the upcoming second season.

"Well then, let me lend you a hand. Let's have some fun~" Aiden wielded Dragon Slayer, leaning forward, then shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

"What's that boy doing? Why is he charging towards us?" Mikoto looked shocked as Aiden charged towards the infant dragons.

"No, he's c...

DH : [75] Its Time To Shine!

After landing, Aiden imitated Vergil's gesture by flipping his bangs and gesturing towards Durandal, then sighed, "Sigh, disappointing."

Before Aiden could even lower his bangs, the roar of a new monster quickly approached.

The creature emitting the roar was about one meter and sixty centimeters tall, standing on two short legs with sturdy claws on its forelimbs. Its body was covered with segmented armor, resembling a suit of armor with scales extending from the back to the head, ...

DN : [275] A Difference

At the dining table, everyone took their seats, naturally with Lord Sitri in the main seat.

But August sat right next to Lord Sitri, with Lady Sitri on the other side. Serafall and Sona sat on Lady Sitri's side.

As for the others, they continued to take their seats accordingly.

After taking their seats, dishes were served one after another. Since it wasn't a formal dinner, each person had their own portion.

"Uncle, I wasn't sure what to bring this time, so I brought a ...

DN : [274] Uncle!

[This train is about to pass through dimensional rifts, so there may be slight fluctuations. Please bear with us!]

Boom~

Amidst the rumbling vibration, August could see through the window a dimly lit dimensional rift.

This place could only be entered by the two legendary Dragon Gods themselves; anyone else entering the dimensional rift unprepared would be torn to shreds, requiring special means.

Soon, the dimensional train passed through the dimensional rift, ...

DH : [74] I Am The Danger!

Boom!

The fortunate roasted goblin quickly faded away, turning into a puff of smoke, and then dissipated.

Only a few small magic stones and some sharp nails remained on the ground, as the reward for Aiden's cooking this time.

"Talk about beginner's luck, this is a great start. With the Golden Rule, I'm practically blessed by Lady Luck herself. No, scratch that, I'm Lady Luck now, haha..." Despite witnessing the flaming storm tearing through and scorching the goblins...

DH : [73] Hunting!

"Seems like the demon form from Devil May Cry 5 won't be awakening anytime soon, but at least there's some hope with this Tempest." Aiden sighed, shaking his head.

"Wait a minute, did I forget something? Devil May Cry 5? What's in Devil May Cry 5?" Aiden pondered, rubbing his smooth chin.

"Oh, I remember now! Air Hike, Vergil Hair, and Magnetic Back!" Aiden clapped his hands together, suddenly excited.

"Air Hike creates a magical circle in mid-air to jump from, while Magneti...

DN : [273] The Dimensional Train!

Early the next morning, August was awakened by Sona; after all, they were heading home.

Everything was ready, and the group arrived at Dimensional Train Station, the same station they had used when they arrived. Interestingly, just as they had hitched a ride with the House of Sitri on the way here, they were doing the same on the way back.

Originally, Rias had wanted to arrange for the House of Gremory private train, but Sona had already taken care of everything, rendering Rias's ...

DH : [72] Testing

Aiden, dressed in his pajamas, entered the training room.

Gazing at the unused target dummy not far away, he concentrated and silently chanted in his mind.

Firestorm.

In the next instant, crimson flames filled Aiden’s vision.

A whirlwind burst forth from in front of him.

No, it was more like a whirlwind of fire.

When the Firestorm struck the target dummy, it didn’t explode immediately but began to spin in place.

The crimson Firestorm tore...

DN : [272] Damn Politics

"My parents want to meet you too."

At that moment, Sona's voice echoed in agreement.

August suddenly realized what was going on. This wasn't just a trip back to the underworld; this was clearly an opportunity for his prospective in-laws to meet their son-in-law.

Rias, he could understand, but how did Sona's parents know about him?

Seeing August's questioning look, Sona blushed slightly.

"My sister told my parents about us as soon as she returned."

"Oh~"

DH : [71] Magics

"Hestia, is that you?" Aiden opened his bloodshot eyes, looking at Hestia standing by his bed. He stretched and sat up.

The magic stone lamp above was already lit, and outside the window, a deep blue night sky cradled a silver crescent moon, silently watching over Orario.

It's already night, isn't it? Hestia's back too. Aiden thought as he glanced around the room, his head still a bit dizzy. Seems like he won't need to stay up all night, just an all-nighter in the dungeon will do....

DN : [271] Prepare

After the incident, Kuoh Academy had to close temporarily.

There was no other choice; the entire academy was in ruins, with a massive crater where the back hill used to be. To the public, it was explained as a meteorite impact, which just happened to land on Kuoh Academy and completely destroyed it.

As a result, the academy had to close early, waiting for further notices about reopening. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Sitri and Gremory families, they easily managed to contr...

DH : [70] I Need More Power!

[What do you seek in magic?]

"I seek power."

"I want to become stronger."

"Like the blazing flames that scorch the earth."

"Like the fierce wind that cuts through the sky."

"Stronger than anyone, stronger than anyone, stronger than anyone."

"Stronger than everyone."

"Burning my enemies and illuminating myself."

[Is that all?]

"That's it, I need more power!"

[Very well.] 

"So, am I going to sleep again?"

DN : [270] The Dust Settles!

Ignoring the fallen Vali, August turned his attention to Azazel.

"Azazel, where is my item?"

"Here it is, but I didn't have enough time. I've only managed to fill two-thirds of it."

"That's sufficient."

August accepted the Holy Grail from Azazel, then dispelled his demonization and put away the Boosted Gear.

This was part of the agreement he had made with Azazel earlier. Though it hadn't met August's full expectations, getting two-thirds of what he wanted was goo...

DH : [69] Effect

At this moment, Aiden was in the kitchen, deep in thought about how to continue the conversation once he returned to the living room.

"Ah, they're both characters that didn't appear in the anime. What should I say to them? Should I thank them for delivering the swords, then ask if they like the tea? Talk about their professions? Or pretend I need to use the restroom?" Aiden pondered as he boiled the water.

Meanwhile, in the living room.

"Of course, it's directly from Hephaes...

DN : [269] Cursed Blade

A dark ominous energy began to surface as August transformed into his demonization. A black pattern appeared on his forehead, and the darkness around him started to boil.

Even in her Juggernaut Drive state, Vali couldn't help but feel a subconscious fear as she faced August, who now resembled a true demon god. The previous battles had left an indelible mark on her memory, unforgettable and deeply ingrained.

There's an old saying that goes, "When you fear someone, you have already ...

DH : [68] I'm Done Being Poor, Dante!

"I'm here~" Hestia's right hand had already taken off her gloves, while her left hand held a thin needle. It turned out she had gone back to get a needle.

Aiden also skillfully lifted his clothes, revealing his sturdy back.

The familiar azure light appeared in the bedroom. Unsure if it was an illusion, Aiden felt that the Sparda power he had been so proficient at absorbing the divine blood from seemed to linger a bit longer today, and his right hand was also slightly throbbing. 2024-08-06 16:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

"A half-human, half-devil hybrid? And chosen by a Divine Dividing, no less. Unbelievable."

Sirzechs exclaimed in astonishment. This near-zero probability had actually materialized.

The chances were incredibly slim. With over seven billion humans in the world, the likelihood of a half-human, half-devil hybrid being chosen by the legendary Sacred Gear, Divine Dividing, was practically zero. Yet, here they were, witnessing it.
