DN : [171] Rias's Attention!
🕑 Added 2024-05-03 16:00:06 +0000 UTCJust as August and Hilda left not long ago, Rias, accompanied by her peerages, arrived.
After entering the residential house and seeing the minced meat on the floor, Rias's expression turned extremely unpleasant. She had been preempted.
Unlike the previous incident, this time, it seemed to involve a mage.
The residual magic in the air was incredibly powerful, and she had never encountered such strong and domineering magic before.
There was no need to guess about the pair of minced meat on the ground, it was undoubtedly the work of a stray devil.
As for the corpses of the family of three in the room, both August and Rias ignored them. For them, they were just humans, easily concealed with a bit of magic.
"This magical power is truly tyrannical, it directly destroyed my magic."
Akeno squatted down, subconsciously touching the residual magic on the corpses. She suffered a slight backlash from the faint touch.
Just a tiny exploration of magical power with her fingertips, and she got a cut from the lingering magic.
This didn't make Akeno angry. Instead, it aroused her competitive spirit.
She was quite confident in her own strength, but now, she couldn't even deal with lingering magic. If this were to be known, it would be embarrassing.
"Akeno, did you find anything?"
"No, this magical power is very peculiar, extremely domineering and corrosive, not like devils or fallen angels."
"Could it be another faction?"
"Probably not. This is the common territory of the Gremory and Sitri families. No faction would want to offend both satans simultaneously."
Akeno explained slowly. In the whole world, satans were rare.
In this town, Rias and Sona were undoubtedly the two princesses, each with a satan behind them.
Especially Sona's sister, the Satan Leviathan, was known for being a sister complex, exceeding all limits of affection for her sister. This was widely known.
So, no faction dared to come here and cause trouble, considering it was a shared territory of two satans.
"But this isn't right, that isn't right either. Could there be no clues at all?"
"No, Rias, precisely because there are no clues, there's a possibility."
"Are you saying a sacred gear?"
"Exactly, a newly awakened sacred gear wielder who knows nothing about this world. Hence, they act recklessly and without any restraint."
"If that's the case, we need to find them. We can't let Sona find them first."
Rias urgently said. She desperately needed to strengthen her peerage and enhance her own power.
Unlike Sona, who had already rejected her engagement, Rias still carried the engagement on her shoulders. Therefore, she wanted to win through the same method as Sona, through a rating game, and then cancel the engagement.
After all, devils valued power and honor. If a man was defeated by a woman, he wouldn't have dignity to marry someone else.
So, she eagerly wanted to recruit talents, especially humans with sacred gear.
Squeak~
At this moment, Yuuto Kiba and Koneko walked in.
"President, is everything around here sorted out? All the neighbors have had their memories magically altered."
"You've worked hard."
Yuuto Kiba and Koneko shook their heads.
"Well, let's tidy up here as well. This guy killed someone and didn't even clean up the scene, he really lacks experience."
As soon as she spoke, a crimson magic circle lit up, and all the corpses were instantly destroyed.
The power of destruction, inherited from Rias's mother's Baal bloodline, had the potential to destroy everything. As long as the magic was powerful enough, it was almost invincible among peers.
After dealing with the bodies, they used magic to clean up everything around.
This family evaporated just like that, and all memories and traces related to them were completely wiped out. It was as if this family had never existed.
This was the treatment for ordinary humans and also the current situation of humans in this world.
Various accidents were happening in this world all the time. The reason ordinary people were unaware was that the mysterious side was covering everything up.
Among the higher-ups of various countries, many were supported by the mysterious side.
With the help of humans managing humans and covering up all supernatural traces, ordinary people remained oblivious to everything. This was the attitude of the mysterious side toward humans.
Because, compared to humans, both angels and devils relied on humans for survival. Gods needed human belief, devils needed human contracts, and monsters needed human fear.
Although humans were weak, they were also extremely powerful, especially in modern society, where super weapons like nuclear and atomic bombs could easily cause destruction. Even those from the supranatural side dared not underestimate them.
Of course, that's only for the lower-middle level, because above that level, they can easily handle small attacks like that.
Moreover, in the current Three Faction, angels and devils both suffered heavy losses in the great war.
Pure blood devil became scarcer, and if it weren't for Satan Beelzebub inventing evil pieces, the number of devils would be extremely limited.
Angels, on the other hand, lost their gods in the holy war, unable to give birth to new angels. So, every angel was considered precious.
...
Back at home, Hilda went to prepare dinner. For her, making August a satisfying meal was also something that made her happy.
As for August, he continued to place orders for various uniforms of all types, and not just one set.
In addition to these, August naturally shifted his focus to the otaku culture of this world.
Light novels, anime, manga, games, and more, all of this interested August.
Before travel, August was at most a pseudo-otaku because he had to work to make a living. Moreover, many otaku things were expensive, and he couldn't afford them.
Now that he had no shortage of money, he naturally wanted to make up for everything.
About half an hour later, August put down his phone.
After browsing through 2D culture like light novels and anime, August rubbed his forehead.
Because he couldn't connect with his past self, there was inevitably some strangeness.
Most importantly, there was no novel or manga isekai he like in this world, which surprised August.
This gave August an idea. Since there was none, he would create one himself.
Just thinking about it made him excited. By then, he would be the pioneer of a new genre in this world.
