DxD: Emperor of Chaos

CHAPTER 14

-

The Kaio-Ken was in his opinion, the most powerful technique that Goku ever had. The ability to multiply your power level by an amount is insane, especially when he paired it with his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (SSGSS) with a 20x Kaio-Ken.

He ditched the idea of creating the 4 techniques and focused on this one instead, because he realized that he needed a definite way to boost his powers more than with just his Twice Critical’s one Boost after seeing Hyoudou destroy a mountain with his damn Boosted Gear.

The technique’s concept was simple in paper, condense the demonic energy and use it to power up his physical and magical attacks, but it harms his body in the process due to the limit of demonic energy transfer rates.

Let him explain about demonic energy.

So, there is the main component of a devil, the Devil Core. It resides in the soul of a devil, and it generates and stores demonic energy. So, the devil core is the responsible organ in the body for a devil to do Demonic Magic.

Then, to flow the demonic energy is the Devil Channels. These are akin to tubes or rivers that transport the demonic energy throughout the body. And since it is akin to a tube, there is a limit to how much it can transport demonic energy, demonic energy transfer rates.

Example, his Devil Core generates a total of 100 units a second, and his Devil Channels has a transfer limit of 50 units a second.

Now, he condenses the energy of 500 units, making the large amount of demonic energy shrink and condense into the normal flow of 50 units. He could now pass 500 units into transport, that was how normally one would do when using their finishing move, their ultimate attack. They pump and condense more than the limit before releasing it to create a more powerful attack higher than their limit.

He, however, keeps the condensed energy in his body and transfer it into his cells, nerves, every body part of his body. Meaning, his cells were getting energy beyond their limit, and he was forcing them to work overtime. This causes stress on the body, as well as the rapid drain of demonic energy.

At most, his Kaio-Ken at the level of x3 will drain all his energy in a minute of two, while the normal Kaio-Ken will drain him dry in under 15 minutes. Not ideal, of course, and the pain that accompanies the drain is severe. So, he simply had to train his body to withstand the Kaio-Ken.

Moe-Princess: You want to learn Gravity Magic?

Moe-Princess: That is quite random, may I ask why?

Dragon-Head: I’ve read that devils have quite the adaptability.

Dragon-Head : I’m thinking of training under gravity spells.

Moe-Princess: WHAT?

Moe-Princess: This is a bad idea, Ryuuto-san.

Moe-Princess: The stress under gravity even slightly above the normal is severe to your health.

Moe-Princess: You could die!

Dragon-Head: No pain, no gain, Ravel-chan. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, the grind never stops.

Moe-Princess: Ugh, what a muscle-head! Ca

Moe-Princess: Fine, here you go.

Moe-Princess: [Basics of Gravity Magic.epub]

Dragon-Head: Thanks, Ravel-chan.

Moe-Princess: Hmpf! Don’t text me when you’re begging to be healed!

Dragon-Head: Of course, I won’t. I’ll simply go to Argento for it. Ravel-chan, you’re not that smart, huh?

Moe-Princess: That’s not what I was trying to say, you idiot!

Moe-Princess: Muscle Brain! Go train and get squashed, I don’t care!

Dragon-Head: See you at the party later tonight, Hime-sama.”

Chuckling at the western princess with a cute moe gap, he tapped onto the file that she sent him before taking a look at it. The first few pages were just the author warning the readers about the high energy cost of a general gravity spell and its warnings.

Well, time to go back to training then.

“Ugh, I seriously hate wearing shirts… Why can’t I just wear a t-shirt, anything that doesn’t have to do with a collar.”

Akira mutters as he pulled on the tight collar of the shirt that he was wearing. They were currently in the men’s dressing room in the north wing of the first floor getting ready for the engagement party.

“I think that you look very dashing, Akira-kun.”

Kiba said as he wore his black blazer over his light golden shirt.

“… Kiba-senpai, that is kind of gay to say that. You need to say, “No homo” after to make sure that no one will think that you like boys.”

Kiba had a thoughtful expression.

“Is it? Pardon me, then, Akira-kun. I’ll use it when I say something like that to Ise-kun then.”

Now, Akira had a thoughtful expression.

“… You know what, don’t do it to him. It’s much funnier that way.”

Kiba chuckles as he slings a tie over his neck while Akira himself wore his own black and red blazer.

“It is funny to see his reactions, Ise-kun is quite the humorous person to bully.”

“The pervert is quite easy to bully — Man, do I really have to wear this, senpai?”

He showed Kiba his pinkish-red tie, to which Kiba simply takes it from his hands and started tying it for him.

“Just do it, it’s… For Buchou, we should dress the best that we can, to encourage her.”

They both stayed silent after that as Kiba knotted his tie. The beatdown of Hyoudou was a topic of taboo, especially their loss. The fact that Buchou hadn’t gone out from her room after the lost of her Rating Game held volumes to the long-time peerage members.

Akira scratches the back of his neck at the awkward silence.

“Listen, senpai. I… I’m not so close to Buchou and the rest of you all, admittedly. But just know that I got you guys’ back if you need anything, alright? I’ll do whatever I can, and then some more if shit goes to the fan.”

… Huh, since when was he such a battle junkie? Akira thought as he repeated the sentence over in his head. Fuck, Vali was right about powers. They make you addicted to show it off like a dick-measuring contest.

Kiba stared at him before snorting, transitioning to a good laugh. Once he was done, Kiba had a nice smile on his face, the first real one that he’d seen from the older boy as this one had a sense of radiance compared to his unemotional smiles.

“Sure thing, Akira-kun. We’ll throw you to the wolves if we need to.”

This time, Akira gave him a wolfish grin.

“Now you’re speaking my language, Kiba-senpai.”

“Hey, Ravel-chan.”

Noticing that the Phoenix peerage members had already arrived, he told his group consisting of Kiba, Akeno who wore a beautiful black and red kimono that resembled the clothing worn by shrine maidens, and Toujou who dressed herself with a bold black dress with openings that showed her sides, that he was going to apologize to their Queen and talk to Ravel before moving towards the Phoenix girl.

He ignored the sudden pressures that loomed over him. Was not going to pull the pin of that grenade.

And of course, Riser’s peerage members were all tensed up when they saw him coming.

Ravel, however, simply gave out a huff. Seeing as the moe princess was not going to talk to him, he turned his attention to the Queen of the peerage.

“Hey, I’m really sorry about almost killing you. You were just a really annoying opponent to face and I accidentally used more than I needed.”

The queen looked at him with a weird expression before turning her head to glance at the Phoenix child, and then back to him.

“… Ojou-sama was right, you would apologize for something so insignificant. Reincarnated devils sure are quite interesting in the perspective of devil culture… Rook of Rias Gremory, the Rating Game was a merely game, I do not hold any grudges against you. You simply did your job as the piece of a peerage, nothing more, nothing less.”

She said her piece as she walked away, the little baby birds following their mother as they went to greet Buchou’s father. Guess that’s the que to leave them then.

Man, when was Hyoudou coming? This was getting boring.

If only he could use his phone right now, he could be reading more stuff for his gravity magic mastery.
