DXD OVERLORD

Chapter 70: Ascension Part 10



THE DEMONWORLD TOWER AREA Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 4

Laharl and the girls were climbing the Demonworld Tower. Honestly it was more their flying, from platform to platform. Eventually coming across some of the monster in the area. They'd fought against some Big Crabs which it's literally huge crabs with a massive pincers and eyes more into their shell. Orange colored slimes with a couple eyes and antennas, and Lizard Men huge, bulky bipedal lizards resembling crocodiles, wearing heavy armor and carrying large axes. The big crabs were tanks, but Ruby and Cerberus strength crushed through their defenses, only giving out large amount of purple exp. Slimes were a bit difficult to deal with. Having physical resistance, but Raven took care of them, and they gave yellow and purple exp-drops. Lastly the lizard men while they should be powerful, Laharl and the girls teamwork easily took out those lizard men. As the lizard men gave only red exp. This area exp-drops granted a large amount of enhancement to their stats, they managed to level-up their toughness from the huge amounts of purple exp.

Obviously Laharl collected all the slain monsters. But apart from fighting and killing a huge amounts of Big Crabs, Slimes, and Lizard Men, it's a huge difference in amounts of monsters spawning then previous area. That wasn't the issue. The problem was them climbing, and going through several rooms trying to navigate the tower. But the constant fighting was eventually taking it's toll on the eleven devils, as Cerberus laid on each other's back, and slide down onto the carpeted floor. Whining that their tired, and Kyoko who was clearly fatigued also, along with the other girls, he frown seeing them in such a state. They'd already grown quite powerful in these last couple of days, he told the girl, "Let's head back, girls. We've done enough...what do say of having some ice cream, once we're back home?" they'd smiled, and nodded. As they started making their way back down to the entrance, and exit of the Demonworld Tower. On their way back down, they'd had to face more slimes and big crabs. More purple and orange exp-drops were welcomed. But they encounter a new monster in the way down, some small plant girls, called Mandrakes that immediately they'd casted Tetra Bolt on them, sprouting earth spikes beneath them. Raven protected them from the enemy earth spells, using her Soul-Self to cover them all. Once the mandrakes stop casting tetra bolts, and were panting she'd attack, commanding her Soul-Self to uncover them and ram into those monsters, crushing them with great force. The mandrakes were taken out, and gave a lot of yellow exp. Laharl, he collected the few mandrake corpses and finally they got to the exit waypoint and left the Catacomb Dungeon.

SHORT REST Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Abandoned Church, Cementary

They appeared back into the Humanworld. With the graveyard around them, and the broken down church in front of them. With no need for them to be on guard or alert, they'll including Laharl, felt fatigue sinking in. Daki and Nero leap onto Laharl's back. It was time for them to get back home, and get that ice cream that he'd mentioned. As they started walking back home, they stopped by the convenience store. To buy a lot of ice cream, and some toppings for sweet treats. Coincidentally they'd meet up with Kiba, Tsubaki, Murayama, Reya, Momo, and Tomoe. Kiba, he was happy to see his bro again, as they fist bumped and exchanged greeting along with conversations with each other. Kyoko, she suggested that they all go back to the mansion, Laharl, Kiba, along with all the girls agreed with her plans. They bought the double amount of ice cream, and left the convenience store. Laharl, he then said to Kiba, "Ohh once we get back to my home, I owe you two beers." laughing along with his girls, while Kiba and his girlfriends were confused by why Laharl and his girls were laughing about.

Location the Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion: Living Room After a couple minutes walks, they arrived at the Krichevskoy Mansion. Immediately the two groups say down in the living room. Sharing some ice cream for everyone. Enjoying the sweet, cold treat, as they talked with each other, Kiba and his girlfriends were surprised that Laharl-senpai and the girls were facing off against Sairaorg. Along with coming to Kuoh to train. Kiba, he commented that he's a bit surprised that senpai would go to the humanworld to train. Laharl, chuckled as he explained that he has a special hunting ground hidden away in Kuoh, with monsters that will help them grow stronger fast. The girls nodding in conformation to his declaration. This made Kiba and his girlfriends chuckle, as this does sound like something that the senpais would do. With that subject done, it was switched to recent events. Laharl, he mentioned that he was now officially a Ultimate-class devil, a new race has become apart of the devil faction...as he'd describe a prinny to Kiba and his girlfriends, had different reactions. Kiba had a look of confusion and thinking about what a prinny is, while Tsubaki, Tomoe, Reya, Momo and Murayama had a look of intrigue and awe...probably thinking prinnies are cute. Laharl continue to catch them up, with things that they missed from the Underworld. Making things very entertaining, eventually it was the afternoon, and Kiba and his girls, had to leave. Saying goodbye and goodnight to their guests, Laharl and the girls decided to call it a early night. All going to Laharl's bedroom to sleep...

TRAINING WITH THE DEVOURER Location Mindspace of Yamato no Orochi & Vritra

Laharl, he went to sleep with his girls all around him, and snuggling up to him. As something is happing inside the soul of Laharl. He suddenly felt a strange sensation, no longer feeling the warmth of the girls and the covers. He opens his eyes and...he was suddenly outside seeing a whitish sky in his direct sight. Laharl, he started to stand up, he noticed that he has all his clothes on, and he was stuck to a Japanese feudal castle tower, and then he saw more towers allover the foggy landscape. He thought that it looked like a feudal version of Ichigo's soulscape. That's when he'd noticed a black scale creature, coiling around a far off tower, returning underneath the fog-cover. Laharl stood up, without any issue of gravity, as he spoke with a smirk on his face, "Orochi. Vritra. We share a soul, so I know you'd copy this place from Bleach." He'd started hearing low hissing and growling, as he turned around and saw his partner the Devouring and Envelope Dragon, Orochi no Vritra. As the eight dark scaled, horned serpents and the ninth head, a dark purple leviathan, Vritra. Orochi spoke in unison, in a whispered tone "We've... Thought that it would be... Fitting. (as Vritra continue to speaking for them) Considering you'd base this blade, after an anime. Good to see you, partner." making Laharl laugh. And then he asked, "So aside from the landscape. What did you call me, here for?"

They told him that he has grown powerful enough, to be considered a young dragon. A dragon, capable of reaching the king status and beyond. Now his body and soul can handle more of their power, so they call him into the mindscape, were time moves slower than in the real world. But experiences felt in this place, will be felt and gain in the real world. He started laughing, as he thought, "So it my training arc, with my dragon then." Laharl stretched out his arm and called out to his sword, "Vritra Zanbato!!", manifesting in his gloved hand a burst or purple flames, that soon became a handle. Then soon all his massive sword was fully manifested, and in his grasp. Looking at his partner, he'd asked, "So shall we get started?" he could swear, that he saw smirks on all nine of these serpents and leviathan faces. As they swoop at him, and Laharl made the Vritra Zanbato burst into cursed flames, as he charged right at Orochi and Vritra, eager for this spar...

To say he got his ass beat was an understatement. Laharl, he never fought with such a massive beast like Orochi and Vritra. Plus neither Vritra or Orochi allowed him to use anything apart his sword. Every night sleep, he'd would spend would be days training with his dragon. While awake he'd spend time with his girls, and hunting in the first floors of the Demonworld Tower of the Catacomb Dungeon. Growing much stronger, day by day. He'd even managed to create a new move, not an actual offensive technique, but a buff to his arsenal. He named it Flare-Up, which causes his sword to burst in power, sparking greater amounts of cursed flames, granting all his sword techniques with Vritra's flames. Another session with the dragon, he broke through in power and gained a extra set of wings, that merges with scarf devil-wings making them bigger and resemble actual devil like wings, over bat like. Granting him greater fight power and speed, along with his nightly spars with Vritra and Orochi, has improved his air maneuverability and combat. After several ass kickings, he would relax with his partner in the mindscape talking about things.

One of the subjects they'd talk about was the Balance Breaker. They were just at the edge of awakening it, all it needs is one last push and they can achieve it. Another thing they'd talk about is evolving them into a Heavily Dragon. Vritra Orochi need a powerful dragon to consume to ascend quicker. But the dragons that are still around DXD, few they can access let alone manage to absorb...that's when he had an idea. He has limited himself by summoning only girls into the world, with his Demon Summoning System. But that system can also summon monsters, non-humans, and beastkin, aside from demons and devils. That also includes dragons. He started telling the serpents and leviathan that were all looking at him, from various spots. They'd agreed that their partner and master's plans are sound, and could work, but then they'd asked, "What dragon would soothe our needs?" Laharl, he started to think of dragons that could fit the criteria. There was Igneel the Fire Dragon King from Fairy Tail. Slifer the Egyptian Sky Dragon God from Yugioh, then there's...Shenron... Shenron the Eternal Wishing Dragon. He is neutral but bond to the Dragon Balls, basically akin to a genie a slave trapped in his own "lamp" being the dragon balls until somebody assemble all seven of them. From what Vritra has told him, being with Orochi is ten time better in comparison to being slumber. With the couplw months of charge, he can summon Shenron, with knowledge of his plan and offer which will free him from all the crap of DBZ, plus Dende and Popo can just make a new wishing dragon...is not like Dragon Ball kills Shenron every other day, and they remake a new dragon.

Laharl, he told Orochi and Vritra about Shenron. And they were very interested in the Wishing Dragon. Shenron would definitely cause them to ascend, and transform their partner officially into the Black Dragon Emperor, much earlier than expected. They agreed with Laharl's plan, and soon they'll gain dominion over the Earth and Wishing. Soon they'll become the third Heavenly Dragon. Laharl, he could sense their eager to consume and absorb the Wishing Dragon into their essence. This also means that he'll be able to keep his girls promise, summoning their families and loved ones into their world. With this thought through, he stood back up and call fort his Vritra Zanbato, and he spoke to Orochi and Vritra, "Well...now that we are good and rested, ready for round six." without responding, one of the serpents opened its mouth and charged at him from the side.

THE GIRLS LEARN OF THE WISHING DRAGON Location the Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion: Kitchen and Dinning Room

Waking up from another ass beating from Orochi and Vritra training him. Laharl, seems that he'd woke up first than the girls. So he went down to the kitchen to cook a big breakfast for them all. As he cooked, one by one the girls came down to the dinning room waiting for Laharl's breakfast. He presented a variety of pancakes, waffles, and biscuits, along with different cooked eggs and bacon. Making the girls happy and excited, as they ate, he'd told them about his nightly training sessions with Yamato no Orochi and Vritra. Which surprised them, especially since they could sense that his power has been increasing per every passing day. But that wasn't the biggest news.

He told them that in a couple days, he was going to summon Shenron. Shocking the girls, having seen the DBZ anime, they'd knew about the Wishing Dragon. Laharl nodded to them, confirming their curiosity. He also mentioned that Shenron shall most likely join Vritra and Orochi in the Vritra Zanbato. Which shocked them once again!! That's when Cerberus asked, "Won't that mean you'll be able to grant your wishes!!?" this question cause shock, excitement, and more surges of emotions, from the other girls. Again Laharl nodded, as he said, "Yes. Remember I made a promise to you all? I'd find a way to bring your closest families, here to live with them." this made the girls very happy, and blush. Especially Setsuna, she was incredibly grateful to Laharl-dono for doing this for her. As a blush adorned her face, as she's assuring her growing emotions for Laharl-dono. They continue to eat their breakfast, as they'll soon go dungeon diving again for a couple of hour, they're going to spend what remains of their training period, taking full advantage of it.
