The Maniac of DxD (Highschool dxd insert/ semi-crack): Chapter 35

Our summer vacation ends today, and I will have to go back to school starting tomorrow.

This means that I need to inform my audience that the fun is over, and I need to go back to our routine.

But, before that, there is something else that I need to do.

I slowly sneaked around in the castle where I’ve been staying for the past few months, thanks to my work, making sure that no one could spot me.

Normally, my Senjutsu and Illusions would have been completely useless in this castle that has been enchanted to hell and back by its owners, thanks to no small amount of help from the Shinto gods in preparation for my stay here.

However, they failed to account for all the variables that I could call upon to get around their defenses.

Case in point, my disciple.

“Why are we even doing this? Shishou? Aren’t you already rich enough to buy out a small country? What more do you need?”

I lightly glared at my disciple who returned my glare with an exasperated on.

“It is not about money, Issei. It’s about my image. How can I call myself the greatest troll in existence if I don’t even try to steal from the Youkai?”

“Mhm, and it has nothing to do with your grudge against Yasaka?”

This time, I glared at him for real, making the fool shut up and do what I brought him here to do.

To boost my steal capabilities with his Boosted Gear.

“…..This and that have nothing to do with each other.”

“Are you sure? Because I would be pissed off too if someone cockblocked me repeatedly.”

This kid, looks like he has become too confident in his abilities to talk back to me like this.

Looks like another training trip is in order for him.

Where should I take him this time? Maybe Tartarus? Or Naraka? Oh! I know! I’ll take him to the Familiar Forest and throw him at Tiamat.

I heard that the Primordial turned Dragon King is seriously pissed off at Ddraig, should be a good motivator for Issei to train with.

[MonkeyWithACrown: He is right, though, MRen. Are you really doing this as revenge?]

[CuriousCat: Of course he is! The Youkai faction does not have anything worth stealing for MRen. That means that he really is doing this for revenge.]

[InvincibleDragon: Understandable. I would be pissed off too if I was cockblocked like he was]

[FallenBoobConesour: Wait! What is this about getting cockblocked? Was our boy on the verge of finally getting laid!?]

[CyclopsEagleHead: Give us the details! We were gone for a few days, and there was such a development!? Someone give us the recordings already!!]

[MgirlL: Of course, you two pervs would only think about that. Anyways, here are the recordings]

[MgirlL shared ‘record2815.mp4’ and ‘record2816.mp4’]

[MgirlL: Basically, MRen found out about the lay lines at the center of Kyoto and wanted to have a taste of its power, which Yasaka-hime refused for obvious reasons. He backed down and instead started searching for powerful opponents to fight against, which happened to be the guards of the palace. Once again, Yasaka blocked him from fighting. Then, he found an underground fighting ring of the Youkai, but he was once again blocked from getting in on the action because Yasaka stopped him, shut down the establishment, and banned him from getting in any kind of fights within Kyoto again under the direction of the Shinto gods.]

[FallenBoobConesour: That’s it? Lame. I thought MRen was finally getting laid, but its just a tale his battle junkie addiction not being satiated.]

[CyclopsEagleHead: True! You had my complete attention, thinking that we were finally going to see a woman brave or stupid enough to get involved with MRen. Oh well, I’ll have to sate my boredom with watching that Yasaka girl get her shit stolen from under her nose.]

I stared with annoyance at the comment section on my phone as I continued the livestream.

Why are these fuckers so interested in my love life, or lack there of?

I can get laid any time I want! I am just not looking for a relationship right now.

As we finally passed the last of the guards and arrived at the massive vault that I learned about during my stay here, I felt like something was wrong.

The vault door was wide open, and there were no guards.

I turned to look at Issei, who shared the same dumbfounded look as the one I probably held.

Feeling that something was wrong, I enhanced my presence concealment even further, covering both of us heavily in natural energies and illusions as Issei used another Boost to empower us even further.

The moment we walked into the vault, I realized that my gut feeling was right.

There were bodies strewn about everywhere, most of which belonged to the guards of the palace, but there were also a few corpses that were definitely not Youkai.

……..Shit just became serious.

[FallenBoobConesour: Holy Shit! What is this?]

[CyclopsEagleHead: Looks like you’ve stumbled on some kind of a plot, MRen. Mind getting close to those corpses? We should at least see who the attackers were.]

I simply moved forward, activating the energy detection enchantment on my phone, which would allow the energy sample from the corpses to be transmitted in the form of data.

The enchantment cannot transfer the quantity of energy or its quality. It can only detect the type of energy, hence the reason why it is not used much across the world.

But for the sake of identifying the nature of an energy? It serves well.

The moment I arrived at the location of the corpse, I immediately realized who the attackers were.

And so did my audience.

[CyclopsEagleHead: Demonic power. The attackers were Devils.]

[MgirlL: Impossible! No devil is insane enough to attack another pantheon so openly! They must be strays.]

[FallenBoobConesour: Are you sure? Because the identical clothing and weapons they have indicate otherwise.]

“Must be the Old Satan faction. This matches their usual mode of operation. Kill anything that gets in their way and take what they want with force.”

[InvincibleDragon: Possible. MRen, what do you reckon their power level is?]

I got down near the corpse and placed my palm on the body, channeling my Senjutsu across it to get a grasp on its remnant energies.

“I estimate them to be somewhere between low-end to peak High-class. Could be stronger or weaker by a level or two since the remnant energies are not strong enough to give an accurate assessment.”

[InvincibleDragon: Then they must be an elite group of the Old Satan faction, if they really belong to that group, that is.]

[FallenBoobConesour: What makes you say that?]

[InvincibleDragon: Trust me. Despite its reach and power, the Old Satan faction is not exactly brimming with talent or powerful warriors.]

Makes sense.

Now, what to do with this-

“G-Guards!! Help!!”

The terrified scream from behind us made me jump and bring out my gada on instinct, only to lower it when I spotted the horrified visage of the little girl with fox ears and tails.

Kunou, the princess of the Youkai faction and daughter of Yasaka.

Shit just got even more complicated.
