DxD: Chapter 243: Making a Big Fuss

The World of the Soul Reapers.
Hell.

Nelliel stepped out of Lynn’s office in a daze.

Pesche Guatiche, who had been waiting outside for quite a while, widened his eyes in shock the moment he saw her. Then, unable to contain his excitement, he rushed forward. “Lady Nelliel, you’ve finally recovered!”

“Pesche…”

Seeing the look on his face, Nelliel fell silent.

Because of her, Pesche’s mask had been shattered, and he had regressed from an Arrancar to a Hollow.

Remembering that…

Her expression grew even colder.

Nnoitra Gilga…

You truly deserve to die.

“Thank you… for enduring all this time.”

Pesche was on the verge of tears, shaking his head repeatedly. He was so moved he could barely speak.

Seeing this, Nelliel gave a faint smile. “Let’s go, Hueco Mundo.”

Then she added coldly, “Some people need to pay the price for what they’ve done.”

“But…”

Pesche hesitated, clearly worried.

“Relax.”

Nelliel’s eyes gleamed. She clenched her fists, feeling the newfound strength flowing through her body. “I’ve obtained new power from Master Lynn.”

Back when she was still the No. 3 Espada, Nnoitra was no match for her. He had only succeeded because he ganged up on her with other Espada and ambushed her.

Now that she had been reincarnated and empowered, she had absolute confidence, even facing the two of them together.

Later.
Hueco Mundo.

Miko and Nelliel reunited with Midoriko and the others.

“You’re… Nelliel?”

Midoriko was stunned the moment she saw Nelliel’s mature and curvaceous figure.

This...

The contrast was just too extreme!

Nelliel smiled gently. “Midoriko.”

Midoriko gave her a warm smile. “Welcome to the Peerage.”

Nelliel was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and nodded firmly.

Although she didn’t yet fully understand the personalities of every Peerage member…

She could tell immediately.

This wasn’t anything like Las Noches.

And…

After spending a few days with them, she had already begun to grasp their characters.

She liked the atmosphere here.

It felt right.

“These two are Ingvild and Katerea. They joined right after you left.”

“Hello.”

Ingvild Leviathan greeted her weakly, only to get bonked on the head.

Katerea Leviathan frowned. “As a Leviathan heir, show some pride!”

“Ugh…”

Ingvild shrank her neck timidly.

Watching this, Katerea rolled her eyes.

Tch.

With a personality like that, how are you ever going to get into Lord Lynn’s bed?

Looks like…

She’d need to come up with a solution.

On the side, Nelliel observed the two quietly.

Her thoughts were simple: Two more powerhouses.

But her eyes lingered on Katerea.

Strong.

She gave off the vibe of a first seat contender.

Katerea noticed Nelliel’s gaze. She raised an eyebrow, arms crossed, and said, “I’ve heard all about you.”

“As a welcome for joining the Peerage… how about we have a bit of fun?”

“Fun?”

Nelliel blinked, confused.

Katerea grinned and pointed toward Las Noches. Her lips curved into an exaggerated arc.

“Of course…”

“We’re going to turn that place upside down!”

A gleam of excitement flickered in her eyes. She recalled the moment Lynn single-handedly wiped out the Old Maou Faction’s garrison.

Back then, she had merely been a bystander—part of the scenery.

Eventually, she became one of Lynn’s spoils of war.

Now…

She wanted to follow that legacy. To demonstrate the true pride of Leviathan.

Nelliel’s eyes widened.

She stared at Katerea in disbelief.

Turn Las Noches upside down?!

She went silent.

Even she had only thought about luring Nnoitra and the others out to deal with them.

Las Noches…

Was still the domain of that man.

Aizen Sosuke.

Nelliel parted her lips, about to advise against it.

But Katerea raised a hand, stopping her.

“Don’t worry. I already got Master Lynn’s approval.”

Hearing that…

Nelliel closed her mouth.

If it was the King’s will…

Then as his Knight, she only had one duty.

To charge forward.

Her eyes gleamed with sharp resolve.

“…Roar.”

Katerea narrowed her eyes. “Excellent instincts.”

“Alright then, time to assign battle roles!”

Well…

“Assigning roles” was more like choosing who got to fight who.

Meanwhile.
Las Noches.

Nnoitra Gilga frowned.

“Where the hell did that guy Tesra go?”

…

Main World.
Warlord’s Domain.

After several days of back-and-forth negotiations with the Warlord’s faction…

The Lion King Organization finally located Beast Vassal No. 12.

Yes…

The death of Dimitrie Vatler at the hands of the Lion King Organization had caused massive repercussions.

At the very least, during the negotiations, the Warlord himself had shown them no kindness.

However…

Yukari only had one thing to say.

“Go talk to Lynn.”

The Warlord: “…”

His intelligence network was far superior to the Lion King Organization’s.

After all, he was the leader of the vampire race.

He had dealings with top-level leaders across multiple factions.

So…

Lynn’s feat of obliterating the Old Maou Faction’s base by himself was something he had heard in detail.

Even though he was a true vampire ancestor and one of the top-tier fighters…

At best, his strength was on par with an average Satan-Class Devil.

If he had charged the Old Maou base alone, not only would he have failed to destroy it, he would’ve been lucky to escape with his life.

Which was why.

He had a crystal-clear understanding of Lynn’s power.

That was someone far beyond what he could afford to provoke.

He had enjoyed a peaceful life for too long. He wasn’t about to get dragged into trouble over something like this.

Still…

As a leader, he couldn’t ignore his subordinate’s death.

Worse…

He had been mocked about it by Aswad-Guul and Giada.

Remembering that, Ki Juranbarada's lips curled slightly.

If it were them, they’d be panicking by now.

Especially that woman Giada.

She’d probably end up as the devil’s bedwarmer after a beating.

Knowing her personality, Ki Juranbarada couldn’t help shaking his head.

But…

There had truly been no reaction on the outside.

If even internal murmurs were absent, outsiders might start thinking the Warlord was weak and easy to bully.

So in that case.

He’d just use the Flame Banquet as an excuse.

Ki Juranbarada narrowed his eyes.

Elsewhere.

After leaving the Warlord’s territory, Yukari contacted the Lion King Organization.

“The location of Beast Vassal No. 12 is on Gozo Island, to the north.”

(To be continued.)
