DN : [250] Woman?

As the evening slowly approached, everyone in August's home gathered there.

Rias and her peerage, Sona and her peerage, along with August's companions, and finally, an outsider named Ravel.

Boom!

In the dusk of the evening, as night fell, a boiling surge of magical energy erupted in a corner of Kuoh.

August, who was sitting on the sofa resting his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. It was time.

The moment August stood up, both Rias and Sona also rose to the...

DH : [49] Update Status!

"Then we'll take our leave. Goodbye." Riveria nodded slightly, a gesture of farewell.

"Goodbye, Aiden-kun!" Tiona and her sister waved at Aiden.

"Goodbye, Aiden-san." Lefiya smiled and waved.

"I'm Ais Wallenstein. Until next time." Ais, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Eh?" Riveria and Lefiya, who knew Ais well, looked at her with some surprise. It was unusual for the usually aloof (and sometimes clueless) Ais to bid farewell to someone she had only met t...

DN : [249] Outstanding

While Rias and the duo from the Church confronted each other, August on the other side had almost finished his meal.

After everyone had gathered in the living room to eat, Sona approached Asia. The little girl couldn't hide anything; it was evident that something was bothering her.

"Asia~"

"President Sona."

"Just call me Sona at home."

"Sona-san."

"You're so good~"

Sona chuckled and ruffled Asia's hair, then sat down beside her, assuming the role of a...

DH : [48] Magic

"Thank you." Aiden smiled at Ais, who was closest to him, then nodded towards Riveria not far away.

Aiden didn't sheathe his Roman short sword or choose to wipe away the bloodstains on it. Instead, he continued to hold it in his hand, letting the crimson trickle down the blade.

He then turned to face the two men behind him, thanking them for their support. "Thank you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Aiden Sparda." It was like introducing oneself at the beginning of a college semester...

DN : [248] Holy Factor

Facing Xenovia's questioning, Yuuto Kiba showed a cold smile, especially as he saw the Holy Swords in their hands, the murderous intent in his eyes continued to expand. But even though he couldn't forget his hatred, he hadn't forgotten August's words.

His hatred wasn't directed at the Holy Swords themselves, but at the people who had caused tragedy for him and his comrades because of the Holy Swords.

So, he suppressed his killing intent, knowing that if something were to happen to...

DN : [247] Natural Enemy

Back at the apartment, Asia finally breathed a sigh of relief; only here did she feel at ease.

At that moment, Yolda happened to walk by.

"Asia, did you manage to buy everything?"

"I did, Yolda-san."

"That's wonderful. Thank you so much, Asia, for making the extra trip."

"It's no trouble at all. It's a great blessing to be accepted by the Lord August."

"It's truly heartwarming, Asia."

"Hehe~"

Asia chuckled, and Yolda ruffled her hair affectionat...

DH : [47] First Step!

Under the peak strike of his sword, the vital spot received a fatal blow. The already heavily injured infant dragon inevitably reached the end of its life.

Bang!

The crimson eyes of the infant dragon dimmed visibly at an astonishing speed, its colossal body, devoid of life, shattered like a fading figurine, swiftly losing color and luster. Exploding into countless ash-black fragments with a muffled sound, then fading away into nothingness. Only a large rhombus-shaped magi...

DH : [46] Mutated

One of Bell's nicknames is Rabbit Foot, while Tiona, alongside her title of Amazon, also carries the moniker of Crusher.

"No wonder this lad dares to challenge the infant dragon alone, but he's still too young after all." Seeing Aiden's impressive strike, which, despite its grandeur, didn't directly hit the target's vital spot, the sword-wielding youth expressed some regret in his words.

Dunn shook his head, sighing as he noticed Aiden's weakness after the strike. He couldn't help...

DN : [246] Two Homeless

As August nodded in approval, he felt satisfied. The reason for collecting magical energy was also for the sake of the World Tree Sapling.

This little fellow was still in its infancy, requiring an immense amount of nutrients. August was unsure how to proceed, so this method came to mind.

Of course, August also considered the Infinite Dragon God Ophis. If he could bring back that endlessly adorable dragon, it would be fantastic.

Ophis possessed boundless power. Having her hel...

DH : [45] I Need More Powah!

But Aiden couldn't care less about the scrapes elsewhere on his body; he only felt an unprecedented sharp pain in his right hand, as if the bones of his entire palm and forearm were cracking open, and Durandal slowly slipped from his grip, forcing him to switch to wielding the sword with his left hand.

In the official novelization of Devil May Cry 4, the game's protagonist, Nero, awakens his Devil Bringer in a demon attack to protect his childhood friend and girlfriend, Kyrie, and the c...

DN : [245] Holy Grail

Time passed quickly. After obtaining the Moa Moa no Mi, Rias couldn't help but delve into its mysteries.

And August was happy to relax, holding onto Sona, watching a movie in the living room. However, his attention wasn't on the movie, but on Sona.

Sona noticed that August, now, seemed to really like, even adore her.

She thought, perhaps this was fine too. After all, she was just a woman. Compared to power, she hoped for a partner who would accompany her.

But the man s...

DN : [244] Envy

After spending some time with the World Tree sapling, all the maids had mostly recovered.

August also gave orders that from now on, this little sapling was the boss in this world. It was his treasure, and it must be nurtured with magic every day and taken care of with diligence.

The twenty maids understood. This little sapling had absorbed all their demonic power for such a long time. If something went wrong with it, their lives would be at risk.

Before leaving, August chatt...

DH : [44] Careless

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In just a fleeting moment, the golden sword clashed with the dragon's horn multiple times, the resounding clang of metal echoing incessantly. Aiden, a not particularly tall Level 1 youth, was now confronting an Infant Dragon head-on, a feat usually reserved for multiple Level 2 adventurers, and yet he held his own.

It wasn't until Aiden's greatsword swept down, forcing the dragon to jerk its head back with a powerful swing, that he gracefully r...

DH : [43] Female Powerhouse

Meanwhile, a group of adventurers was making their way through the 11th floor. They chatted and laughed as they walked, seemingly unconcerned about the monsters appearing around them.

This was an all-female team. Interestingly enough, Aiden recognized most of the members. Not from encounters in the anime, but from meetings in Orario.

Though all members were female, they were renowned in Orario, and even the world, not for their beauty, but for their strength.

The only member...

DN : [243] Papa~

Carefully sensing it, August realized that his demonic power was continuously being absorbed by the inner world within him. Not only that, but his mental energy was also being drained, which explained why he had been feeling constantly drowsy and exhausted.

"No need to worry. I know what's going on."

With those words, August's figure vanished in an instant, leaving Sona, Rias, and Yolda stunned.

Only Hilda understood that August had likely entered his own personal world, a r...

DH : [42] Matched

After all, Bell's magic and skills were both exceptionally powerful and rare. Firebolt was a highly potent magic that even Riveria Ljos Alf, the city's most powerful mage and a member of the Elven royalty with the title of Nine Hell, regarded as exceedingly rare. Meanwhile, Argonaut, Bell's unique skill, had a cooldown of one week.

The Infant Dragon defeated by these two abilities wasn't inherently weak; it just had the misfortune of encountering his overpowered skills.

"I wonder ...

DN : [242] Trouble!

August examined the brand-new Murasame in his hand for a moment before putting it away.

This enhanced Murasame could absorb curses to amplify its own curse poison. In this world, August was aware of two particularly potent curses.

The first was the curse of the Juggernaut Drive, sealed by the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, which was the source of their tragic fates over generations.

The second was from the legendary creature sealed in the depths of the Underwor...

DH : [41] Dragon!

Even in such a critical moment, they showed no intention of leading the monster towards Aiden to use him as a scapegoat. Instead, they shouted loudly, warning him to run away.

Thud Thud Thud Thud Thud

The ground trembled slightly. The adventurers' shouts could not drown out the heavy footsteps of the Infant Dragon.

The sound of the dragon's footsteps echoed in Aiden's ears, and through the dense, grayish-white mist, a gigantic silhouette gradually emerged.

Dra...

DH : [40] Dragon?

As the last small orc struck Aiden's leg armor, propelled by inertia, it continued its relentless charge towards Aiden's rear, only to be mercilessly crushed under his foot, transforming into a small magic stone.

All the small orcs lay defeated.

"Rahhhhhhh...."

Meanwhile, the two pig-headed orcs wasted no time. With heavy footsteps, they advanced towards Aiden, their hefty clubs whistling through the air with dull roars.

Aiden effortlessly dodged the swings of both pig...

DN : [241] Everyone Left?

Ravel quickly composed herself, but the grand gesture made by August left a lasting impression on her.

This large health potion, while not comparable to her family's Phoenix Tears, was impressive due to the sheer quantity. To produce two hundred and fifty bottles in one go implied that August had many more in reserve.

As a member of the Phoenix family, who sold Phoenix Tears, she understood the value of this potion. If August possessed the method to produce it, he could create a u...

DN : [240] Resolving the Curse!

Watching Sona filled with regret, August instinctively walked over.

However, as soon as he approached, August sensed a 'curse,' which surprised him.

To confirm his speculation, August picked up the two devil fruits on the table. As expected, within these fruits, he also sensed the power of the 'curse.' 

Since he could sense it, could he extract it?

With this thought in mind, the power of darkness surged in August's hand, directly merging into one of the devil frui...

DH : [39] Lets The Party Begins!

The orc roared, the large club in its hand tearing through the air as it charged forward with the powerful inertia generated by its obese body, aiming a hefty blow at Aiden's head.

Aiden, unwilling to back down, though he didn't shout it out loud, swung Durandal viciously towards the orc, the blade slicing through the air with a resounding crack.

A trail of golden sword light flashed by like a fleeting gleam, and at the same time, the blade struck the massive club with unstoppable...

DN : [239] Accidentally!

After spending a little time in the inner world and giving some instructions, August left.

The current inner world was still too small, twenty people were already quite a crowd. As for them, with not much to do every day, life was rather dull. Therefore, in addition to some food, August left some books and electronic devices to help them pass the time.

Upon returning, August found several people in the living room. Among them, Sona was sitting there continuously spitting something...

DH : [38] Gul'dan

Its height was about six feet tall and entirely black from head to toe. The contours of its limbs closely resembled those of a human. Its head was particularly unique, with a cross-shaped structure inset with a round mirror-like object.

Its blackness wasn't due to fur, scales, or skin, but simply pure blackness, like that of a shadow. It was because of this characteristic that adventurers gave it the name... War Shadow, as if a monster emerged directly from the shadows. Although its app...

DN : [238] The Forgotten Maids! 

Swoosh~

Around August, darkness began to distort, and then a ninja of the Razor Khan emerged from the darkness.

August took a look, and their strength was only at level 3, equivalent to the level of the lower-class devil.

To be honest, their individual strength wasn't impressive, but the sheer number of Shadowkhan was overwhelming. Summoning them required very little magic power, and even if they were killed, there was no loss.

In the shadow realm within the d...
