DXD OVERLORD

Chapter 45: Rematch Part 5



GOTH MAIDEN Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Kuoh Academy

A couple days, have passed since Raven has been summoned and reincarnated as a bishop, the third of Laharl's peerage. She was immediately was shocked by the levels that her magic has grown. Being at peace with being a full-devil, after her reincarnated, she was finally able to experience what it like to be a girl. She was transferred to Kuoh Academy, using her former alias combined with her actual name, as she is Raven R. Roth. Raven, she was quite a beauty in school, especially with her unique skin tone, and she'd spend most her time with Laharl that help her adapt quicker to her new life, no longer being a human or a self-sacrificing superhero. With her new demonic power and magic not only her own magical capabilities have evolved, but soo did her Soul-Self a construct that is her iconic raven she'd used throughout her run in DC.

She really got into various things. Poetry, gothic art, culture, and literature, and some manga of Case Closed, Death Note, and more. Raven, also gained the title of the "Gothic Maiden of Kuoh" and surprisingly, no longer bounding her emotions, she was quite happy to express affection to Laharl, she'll admit he quite handsome, charming, and kind. He'd promised that a romantic date for her, and her new friends, Kyoko Needleworker, Ruby Riotte, Albedo, Cerberus, Kneesocks Daemon, Mizore Shirayuki, and Daki Ume-Shabana. She'll admit that she misses Robin, Starfire, Cyborg...and even Beast Boy. But Raven, she has come to really appreciate being more selfish, and embrace her emotions. Eventually Raven meet Rias and she utterly disliked her...one thing is being selfish, but another thing is being a spoiled bitch. Akeno...she has a weird vibe, later Daki told her that, that Akeno is sadist and masochist, which made Raven stay away from the Queen of Rias. Koneko, she'd like she was a cute girl and quiet, they stayed around each other in peace. Koneko eating and surprisingly sharing her snacks and sweets with her, while she read her books.

Kiba he was alright. He was more Laharl's friend, to her Kiba's a acquiescence. Then she meet Sona who was quite a pleasant devil to chat with, she along with Reya and Momo would share magical knowledge and advice with each other. So they were considered her friends. Tsubaki and Tomoe were good girls, as when she's not reading in either the Adventures' Club or the Library, she hang with her friend or Sona's peerage. All in all, Raven was greatly grateful for Laharl...kun, for doing this for her, not only she'll repay him...and interested in more, at least this world doesn't have beings like Luthor, Joker and other scum, plus with Superman, Batman, or Flash, she'll no longer needs to hold back or care about being a hero. Never expecting that embracing her devilish nature would make her feel at peace, as her new life was just starting.

GETTING BLOODED Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 1

Some more days later. Raven has been truly enjoying herself, and has gotten closer to Laharl, while still not used to romance and those type of relationships. They were still on the getting know one another stage, but she'd has shown a lot of interest. With no challenger emerging that week, Laharl decide to take Raven with the rest of the girls into the Catacomb Dungeon. For her to slowly get more used to killing enemies, and get experience in fighting in their group. But with her being a team before, she was quite capable already in teamwork, all she'd needed is to get used to this team over the Titans. As he guided all the girls to the Abandoned Church in the outskirts of the town, they transformed into their true forms, and got on their usual attire for fighting over using the Academy uniforms. They went to the back of the run-down church, and going into the cementary, then after heading through the oldest grave they crossed over to the Catacomb Dungeon.

Raven was impressed at the sight of a whole different dimension. It was quite the experience for her, as her friends and Laharl-kun wanted her to get used to fighting...and killing enemies. As they traverse the run-down, and withered mansion, she and her peerage came into contact with monsters, from what they appear as, she recognized the tiny bats and zombies from Laharl-kun's description. This was their first fight with Raven in their group, Daki slashed apart the bits with her obi-sash strands. Kyoko rush through the monsters slicing them with her kunai, or using her special techniques to eliminate the zombies. As she'd used her Ninja Art: Hell Drop on a couple of tiny bats and zombies, making the shadows bend to her will, and shadow-hands wrapped around the monster and on a simple hand swipe, these monsters were crushed and drown by the shadows. Ruby along with the Triplets, were crushing everything with their incredible power and strength. Lastly Raven fought as well, with Laharl standing by her side to encourage her in her first kills...using her magic to telepathically bind the tiny bats in black colored magical energy. Taking a deep breathe, she swiped her arms and she'd crushed the monsters...killing them, she was bit uncomfortable but her demonic nature was helping to have some ease of mind and spirit.

With that Raven saw the Blue, Red, and Purple Exp. Exactly like what Laharl described. As she was held tightly by Laharl-kun's scarf, making her smile and feel a bit better. They went over to the exp-drops, and Raven along with all the rest of her peerage, upon getting close to three colored floating orbs, these exp-drops were absorbed by them. Feeling her speed, stamina, strength, toughness, and more surged with great levels of power. With that Laharl, he'd stored all the tiny bats and zombies to sell later, as they continued their dungeon dive and hunting. Every battle and kill made Raven more accustomed to doing the act. Even using her Soul-Self to easily take down a few of will-of-a-wisps, absorbing some yellow and orange exp-drops. Increasing her spirit and magical abilities. After a few hours Raven, Mizore, and Daki lowest stats level-up. With everything going smoothly, the girls complimented and encouraged Raven, as she felt a bit better from taking down opponents, since they can't take any more advantage of the first area of the Catacomb Dungeon. He decided to lead the girls to the waypoint in the old library in the second floor, to go on the next level of the dungeon.

THE DUNGEON'S NEXT AREA Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 2

They appeared in another area in a flash of light. They'd appeared into a whole different area. Looking around they saw they are in some abandoned village, in a grassy field with a lot of broken down walls, roads, and structures. Laharl, he thinks he knows this new area, quite possible it is a one of the older makai games, so for now they'll check out this area. As he like usual rested his massive sword sacred gear, Vritra Zanbato over his right shoulder, and told the girls to be alert. They nodded to his words, and started venturing through this new area of the Catacomb Dungeon.

They'd reached a broken down cross road, a wide are with several places to check. Again Laharl, he found this terrain very familiar. When some noise, sounding like a...hoot...was made, as a bunch of owl humanoid creatures emerged from a far. In greenish garb like old knight, Laharl, he recognized them as Owl Knights from Phantom Brave. Then another new monster came into the area, a lotof brown furred bunny creatures came rushing in as well. These are Scrabbit also from Phanton Brave. That's when he realized why this area looked soo familiar, this is one of the areas from the Phatom Brave game. The owl knights were armed with basic spears, and scrabbits had their fists ready, seems that these dungeons aren't exclusive to instinctual based monsters, these enemies while these monsters aren't tough, they were capable of fighting with weapons and actual combat tactics. Meaning this area is quite possibly more challenging, cause these monsters are more capable fighters.

Lowering his sword into his usual stance. The scrabbits rushed in moving quite fast, and one even jumped at him with a arm drewed back, and ready to throw a punch, only for Daki to sent two obi-strands to slash the scrabbit in fatal points. One the neck the other across the body. Easily taking out the scrabbit, as he smirked and he used his Blade Rush to flash forward, slashing down a scrabbit the powerful and super-fast slash killing another scrabbit. Immediately using another Blade Rush to slash another scrabbit, and using another of his technique to rush in to fight the owl knights, staying away from main fight. Ruby, used her Killer Spin technique, stabbing into a nearby scrabbit lifting up her Infernal Sword, with the scrabbit stabbed onto the huge blade, with a smirk on her face as she channels demonic energy through her blade, causing several strands of energy to spin and cut apart her victim, killing it. Throwing away the dead rabbit creature, as two more rushed in at her, making her smile and she charged at those rabbits to take them down these monsters.

Mizore rushed at the owl knights, using her freeze technique to freeze the ground and skate in a great speed. Avoiding the scrabbits that tried to punch and kick her. But she was too fast for them, as her love, Laharl-kun broke through a owl knight's guard, with one powerful swing cutting it straight down of the monster. While the other owl knight, has it spear pointed at her, performing a spinning jump dodging the attack of the owl knight, leaping over the confused monster as she created several sharp icicles around her. With a swipe and pulse of her demonic magic, those sharp projectiles flew straight at the unguarded back of the owl knight, taking it down, riddle in icicles, she named this technique Icicles cause it was straight and simple. Spitting out the stick of her eaten lollipop, reaching into her sweatshirt's pocket and pulled out another. Unwrapping the lollipop and putting in her mouth, as she resumed fighting.

Kneesocks used her Devilish Link of Pain technique. By creating a large scythe with her demonic energy Kneesocks, hits her scrabbit targets. Not only cutting them deep but also blasting those rabbits monsters into the air. With a wicket smile on her face, she used her magical manipulation to transforms her scythe into a chain-sickle. Spinning it in her hand, before swinging her demonic chain-sickle. Slashing and cutting in a brutal combo of demonic energy coated attacks, before swinging her chain-sickle over at the cut riddled scrabbits, hooking them all. Kneesocks she spins them barely alive scrabbits in the air, before she swing down her chain-sickle, smashing the rabbits onto the ground. Reverting her Double Gold Spandex into a scythe, adjust her glasses, as she walks to face another opponent.

Cerberus and Raven team-up. The Triplets were protecting Raven, while she blasted burst of pure black colored magical bolts. While she'd sent out her Soul-Self to provide some support to Cerberus, as three of her punch, kick, sweep, and smash the scrabbits. Eventually their combine actions they took out several dozen of scrabbits, and a dozen of owl knights. As this area proves to have a much more large amount of monsters, and capable of thinking of tactics and fighting in groups. All these monsters release a considerable amount of exp-drops, both type of monsters release green exp, while the scrabbits gave blue exp as well, and the owl knights produced purple exp. So it seems that these smarter monsters, will all give green exp to enhance the mind stats. They absorb all the exp-drops, as the power within these exp-drops was more stronger and rewarding. As their intellect, analytical skills and more were enhanced, along with their speed and toughness. Laharl, he stored away all these slain monsters, wondering how much these monsters would go for.

Seeing that this area was going to be challenging, since the enemy will come at them at large numbers. And more capable, Laharl, he'd decided that they should stop for the day. The girls agreed with him and they started to head back to the waypoint to exit, the Catacomb Dungeon. While walking back, Raven, she wrapped her arms around his, thanking him for being patient and helping her get used not only to this new life, but fighting to kill. He smiled kissed her on the cheek, making her blush happily, and the girls cheered their new friend, and future sister in relationship. Eventually they reached the waypoint and...

Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: the Cementary behind the Abandoned Church ...They appeared back in Kuoh. The old, rundowned church right in front of them. Stretching and cracking their bones, they were starting make their way back to their mansion...when Laharl, he felt a communication spell try to connect with him. As they made it closer to their private owned acres, he activated a red and purple colored glyph with the Bael crest on it, floating over his right gloved hand, and reaching up to his ear. He heard Grayfia, as she told him something...that made him stop right there, earing the attention and curiosity of the girls. As he said, "Grayfia...can you repeat what you just said? Who wants to talk with me? And for what?" the girls looked confused, as Laharl face went from shock, unamusement, and eventually utter annoyance. Cutting off communication magic, he sighed as he wiped his face with his left hand. And he just said, "The damned fried chicken, has started buking again..." immediately Kyoko, Albedo, and Ruby groan, as they knew exactly who Laharl was talking about. While Cerberus, Mizore, Kneesocks, Daki, and Raven were more confused, as Laharl, he sighed again and told them he'll explain as they went back home...
