DxD Chapter 82: Heavenly Dragon (Patreon)

~Takumi Y. Goch~

I took a deep breath of fresh air, I felt my lungs thrum with power. I really wanted to release a breath but at the same time, I did not want to ruin Kuoh or trigger a lot of bad alarms around.  

So, instead, I settled for celebrating by looking through my status. And I was surprised, Iter Melius, well, I guess Deus seemed to have reformated the status a bit. Well, at least it looked easier to understand.

I nodded in satisfaction, my efforts had borne fruit. I was firmly in the Ultimate Rank, but there were flaws, I had an immense amount of mana and power but my physical stats weren't the best, especially agility.

But hey, this was the start of a completely new level. I was fairly certain I could whopple someone like Kokabiel, especially with my Holy and Light negation. Speaking of Holy and Light...

...Yikes, I just couldn't escape the label huh?

The Heir to Heaven's Throne.

A former human, now a former devil too was the future owner of Heaven. I am not sure how Heaven will react to information like that. But it shouldn't be too bad right? I mean even if they do I basically have an absolute advantage against any Heavenly Being.

Unless it was on the level of Azazel or Gabriel I could take 'em. Maybe. I don't know how good I am yet, I need to figure out moves for my new level. All of my other attacks were on the level of High and couldn't be scaled to Ultimate.

A sparring partner would be pretty nice, maybe Grayfia or Sera? Speaking of Sera, I know a perfect test for my new capabilities as a better alchemist fellow.

I was going to use my new Heavenly Dragon powers to make Magical Girl Sacred Gears. Considering the stuff he made and the nature of this world I think the Big G would approve of my actions.

With casual ease, I channelled teleportation to appear back in my lab. I promised Sona to help her get stronger and what better way to get stronger than a Sacred Gear, and I knew what precisely what she needed too.

...Sure, I may be cheating a little with Insight. But let's keep that off the records.

I was going to commit some actions that would surely make Sera really happy, I was also planning to make a gift for her but that was for later. Since I breached Ultimate Rank I could actually make something that would be useful for her.

What was I doing? I was ripping off the Kaleidostick.

But before I got to work I passed by myself in the mirror and had to stop to take a look. I looked... more handsome? No, more refined. Also, my hair colour had shifted from a brown to a rust colour and my eyes had gone from greyish blue to greyish green. I put a finger and my chin and looked closely.

'Hmm, how queer. I don't remember adding anything to my concoctions that would have altered my hair.' As I was musing internally I heard a rebuke.

'That's because it's not from your potions but rather from you taking on my blood.' I heard Ddraig's casual voice in my mind. I quirked an eyebrow.

'Awake already? Also, could you explain clearly. Not that I mind the new look, it's fresh but I am a scientist, I would like to know at least my own body.'

'You already know, by fusing with the Boosted Gear so thoroughly you have essentially become my kin, basically my child. And, Red and Green. Brown is already just a very dark reddish orange so your hair just lightened considerably. And the eyes you can guess.'

I nodded, that made perfect sense. A shit-eating grin wormed its way to my face.

'So... does that mean I have to call you dad now? Father perhaps? Maybe even daddy?' I felt Ddraig shudder in my soul as if I had recited the bible to a low-class devil.

'No, no way. You are technically right but just spare me from this, I am already stressed enough with you planning to take so many people's wives that you may as well be called the Wife-Taking Dragon Emperor, I don't need to be subjected to you calling me that.'

Day one and I am already abandoned by my father again, woe is me. Such a cursed existence. It's two for two now with my father abandoning me shortly after I was born.

'Oh my Ddraig~ I didn't think you would become a father at your age. Shouldn't you take some responsibility~?' A melodious voice chimed in and I could hear Ddraig groan so hard I could feel the facepalm. Yes Elsha, join me in making Ddraig suffer.

'...I just cannot win can I?' Ddraig sighed audibly ''Whatever, I will be sunbathing now that I finally have a body. While your sense of humor is lacking at least your mental world is pleasant. I do have to say that finally having a body is certainly nice.'

With that the connection was cut off, I already instinctively knew that Ddraig was inside of my newly constructed image world along with Elsha. A quick glance showed the old, absolutely massive dragon clad in armour plate-like blood-red scales splayed out across the beach with a content expression while Elsha was drinking tea on the balcony of my manor.

...Oh wait that's a potion. Right, nothing much else inside there. I should stock some stuff into my mental world for Ddraig and her to enjoy.

Well, I'll leave the old lady and dragon be for now and focus on making magical girls. Like a true Heavenly Dragon.

I quickly retreived the materials I knew I would need to make the things I wanted from my basement by ordering my homunculi to fetch them.

Even though I was making a dress it wouldn't actually contain any cloth, I knew everything about the Boosted Gear down to the very basics. What I was going to make this was the same thing armour-type boosted gears were made of.

I always wondered how the Boosted Gear or any sacred gear could break over and over again and then come back like nothing ever happened. Well, after analysing several sacred gears and most importantly gaining my Image World I understood how they worked.

They were made out of Image Materials. Basically ghosts of actual materials. They were non-materials that would form into real ones when activated with mana.

This was also how I could pull on the divine lightning in my Image World. I actualized the imaginary lightning in the real world with my magical power.

Easier than it sounds, it was like constructing a literal ghost. No wonder most sacred gears had to use souls and not real materials. Turning real material into the core of a sacred would be task incredibly infuriating.

To make a ghost you kill a guy, how the fuck would you get the soul of an object?

Don't know, don't really care right now. Souls are better cores anyway, I dont have to worry about power sources with them.

Although I didn't have access to true Image Materials I could cheat with Transmutation Arrays to achieve a similar. So I am not fully there but it was still serviceable, to make a true Sacred Gear I would also have to be able to turn actual physical materials into Image Materials.  

Heh, look at me, less than half a year ago I was nothing more than a street alchemist brewing healing potions with bananas, well, from my perspective, it's been over 2 years but it's the thought that counts.

Anyway, making the sacred gear itself shouldn't take too long in real-time. I already had suitable, I would make Sona a replacement when she would step into Ultimate Rank, for high-rank Demi Gears I could basically shit them out of my ass in a single hour.

Funnily enough, most of the materials I used came from the Sitri Territory. Like Eternal Ice crystals, zero sticks, glacial iron, ever flowing water etc.

After constructing the physical it was time to imbue it with enchantments and code it to materialize the magical girl gear. It took me a few mental hours to precisely construct the image of the magical girl dress that would materialize.

But in the end, it was finished, I even added my own blood and Sera's to enchant it.

I held up the magical girl wand in the air with an air of satisfaction.

[Magical Gear: Water Fairy~☆]

Tier: (High) High

A magical wand created by the Heavenly Dragon of Usurpation, while in its basic wand state, it is completely inert and functions as nothing more than a durable stick. But when imbued with the magical power of Sona Sitri, it transforms the user into Magical Girl: Water Fairy Sona-tan~☆

While in the magical girl form, all physical stats are tripled and the Magical Gear helps the user calculate and form Water and Ice Magic magic, improving their efficiency and power by magnitudes.

...Sometimes I ask myself if I am too cruel.

I know for a fact that a magical girl transformation is the last thing Sona wants, but mine was a trap.

It was too good and expensive. How can you reject something like this? Not only that but it was literally tailor-made for her, absolutely nobody else but her could use it. It would be spitting in my face for her to reject it, especially after explicitly asking for my help.

Ahh, even after becoming the Son of the Dragon of Domination, I was apparently still a devil at heart. Truly! My evil knows no bounds!

My evil genius monologue was cut off by an entertained mature female voice.

'It's really cute and endearing when you act like you are an evil mastermind~' Elsha cooed like I was a child or something, taking the wind out of my sails.

'...What do you mean "act"?' I quirked an eyebrow at Elsha's wording. My plans were pretty devious, at least to me.

'Takumi, honey, I would call what you are doing less evil and more like minor mischief. I just found it funny how you describe yourself as an evil mastermind with the amount of truly despicable Sekiryuutei I have seen.'

'...Like?' Elsha hummed thoughtfully as if she really had to think about the answer. Which was a bit concerning.

'Well, the one that I personally didn't like the most was the one who made baby fires. I know the Boosted Gear had its influence but he was especially twisted in the head.'

...Baby fires?

...Do I want to know?

No, no I don't.

Anyways, baby fires aside I should contact Sona and start our first lesson.

I will make a magical girl out of her.

A/N: Takumi, son of Ddraig and the Heavenly Dragon of Usurpation. A very fitting title isn't it? We are in the big leagues now, and the system has changed to reflect that, and definitely not because I was annoyed with managing numbers. Do you guys prefer the new interface?

Also, what better thing to do with your new godlike abilities than to create a magical girl cosplay right? That Sitri blood may have aligned Takumi with Serafall even more, they are basically on the same brainwave length now. Tune in next time to see Magical Girl Sona-tan~! What did you guys think about the developments and lore in this chapter? I would love to know.
