The Maniac of DxD (Highschool dxd insert/ semi-crack): Chapter 34
🕑 Added 2025-04-28 05:36:31 +0000 UTC“FUCK YOU!! SHISHOU!!”
“I’LL HAUNT YOU FOR ETERNITY IF I DIE HERE!!”
“Haha! If you die here, then you will be nothing more than a failure. And how is a failure like you supposed to achieve his goals?”
“OOOH!! DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!”
Issei Hyoudou stopped running at full speed in an instant and brought out his sacred gear, which was once believed to be nothing more than a Twice Critical by his master, but had turned out to be a Longinus Class gear called Boosted Gear.
However, instead of using it to boost himself, Issei held the gauntlet in front of him, waiting for his attacker.
“Ddraig! Shield Mode!”
“Welsh Dragon! Bastion!”
The booming voice of the Dragon within made the assailant flinch a little.
However, the fire wyvern that was attacking Issei was a base creature that ran on instinct and did not care much about the identity of the Dragon within the Boosted Gear.
After all, it had reigned supreme within this ancient and uncharted world of Muspelheim for countless years, so why would it care for anything else?
With a powerful pull of magic, the Wyvern shot flames towards Issei, making him duck behind the tower shield that his Boosted Gear had transformed into, protecting him from the flames that could melt the eternal ice of Helheim.
However, despite the powerful defense, Issei was still stuck behind his shield, unable to close the distance and attack the beast, leaving him with no option but to use his ace.
But therein lay the problem. He had not yet mastered his sacred gear enough to use two different powers at the same time. This meant that he would have to abandon his defense if he wanted to go on the offensive, something that he was reluctant to do since his master was still floating in the air along with his companion, waiting for the perfect moment to ambush the teenager.
“Damnit!”
“The Wyvern cannot keep up the attack for long. Wait for the chance and go for the kill.”
“Alright, partner.”
Issei flooded his body with Touki, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Just like Ddraig predicted, the flames sputtered out for a moment as the Wyvern tried to breath in the magical energy in the air again for another breath attack. A process that would barely take a few seconds.
But that gap was enough for Issei to strike.
Instantly, the shield transformed back into the Boosted Gear, allowing Ddraig to use his primary power to help his partner.
“””””Boost!”””””
In a single second, Ddraig boosted Issei five times, a feat that would not have been possible if not for the hellish training that Ren put the poor boy through just for the sake of fun.
“Dragon Claw!”
Issei shouted out the name of the attack, allowing him to solidify the image of the attack in his mind and bring it to reality.
The claws on the Boosted Gear became even sharper, becoming something similar to mono-molecule blades that he had once read about in a manga along with his master, giving them the idea to create this kind of attack.
With Touki and Boosted speed, Issei broke past the sound barrier and appeared below the Wyvern, shocking the creature with his speed. But the teenager was not done just yet.
With a savage grappling technique that his master drilled into him based on the various dragon-type creatures he had fought in the past, Issei brutally clawed out the throat of the Wyvern, making its lava-like blood shower on his body.
If it were not for the layer of Touki covering his body, he would have been burned alive by the blood.
“Don’t waste the opportunity! Stand still!!”
His master’s words made the boy go still on instinct, allowing the blood to cover his body completely as Ren arrived by his side, chanting spells in Sanskrit and using Tantrik arts.
Slowly, Issei felt the draconic essence of the Wyvern flow into his body and soul, becoming one with him, and by extension, his sacred gear.
For a few seconds, it felt like his internals were on fire, making him experience agony the likes of which he had never experienced before, but just as quickly as he felt it, the pain left him as Ren gave a sigh of relief.
“Thankfully, you are not completely stupid and followed my instructions. If not, you would have wasted this unexpected opportunity.”
Issei gave his master a confused look.
“Why, though? Couldn’t we have simply drawn its blood after we killed it?”
The flat look Ren gave made Issei blush in embarrassment.
“Clearly, you were not paying attention when we were discussing Alchemy theory. Looks like I will have to use certain methods to make sure you listen to my words/ Perhaps, I should hire a hooker to get you motivated-“
“NO!! DON’T PUNISH ME!! I’LL BE GOOD!!”
Issei’s terrified reaction made Ren laugh gleefully, making the boy even more terrified.
If it were in the past, he would have jumped at the chance to touch the female body and would have been willing to do anything for it.
However, the grueling and torturous metal training that Ren put him through has thoroughly traumatized him, making him flinch in terror every time he sees a beautiful woman.
How could he hope to look at any woman with lewd intention when he had been burned so many times by his master, who always created illusions of beautiful women to fool him, and then turn that beautiful visage into nightmarish monstrosities that haunted Issei’s mind for days?
In the end, the boy could only find refuge in the 2D world and nearly became a Hikikomori.
Of course, Ren was having none of that and forcefully pulled him out of his room and forcefully continued the boy’s training, much to Issei’s despair and Ddraig’s delight.
Ren’s companion, the man called Theus, placed a sympathetic palm on Issei’s shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Issei. I understand your pain. Dealing with this Maniac is not easy.”
“Bro….”
Issei cried manly tears as he realized that this man had also suffered under his master’s hands, making him a kindred spirit.
With his fellow kin by his side, Issei was ready to break away from the tyranny of his master.
However, all his courage and bravado evaporated instantly as he watched his master casually toss a ball of Touki energy eastwards, vaporizing another fire Wyvern, one that was much larger than the one that Issei fought.
The flames of rebellion that were brewing within Issei’s heart were instantly smothered into nothing at that casual display of power, making him bow his head timidly as Ddraig roared in laughter within his mind.
Yes, life was not easy for the poor boy under the tutelage of his master.
Unfortunately, he did not have the choice to leave, so all he could do was grit his teeth and swear revenge on the man.
‘Ddraig said that a dragon should never bow its head to others. So, I will become strong enough to surpass Shishou and make sure he can’t bully me around anymore!’
‘You mean the same guy who has already entered the Ultimate-class with nothing but pure skill, despite being a human? The same guy who just vaporized a low-end Ultimate-class fire Wyvern casually when you were struggling with a low-end High-Class Wyvern?’
‘Hey! I did say I would do so in the future! not today!’
‘Hehe! Whatever you say, Partner.’
