Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 35

-Draconic Deus-

Jaune was in the ORC. He was drinking tea that Akeno just made. Jaune was hoping that when he arrived, it would be before Issei was a part of the ORC, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Now, Jaune was negotiating with Rias. He wanted to take the Boosted Gear with fair trade, it was always his intention to make a trade, stealing isn’t something he is willing to do unless necessary.

Even though he didn’t arrive at the timeline he wanted, this was the perfect time to make a deal with them since the tension is high due to the fact that the previous day was when Riser visited Rias and her Peerage. Jaune can tell that Issei will do anything that will help Rias dissolve the Marriage at any cost.

“Jaune-san. Why do you want Issei-kun’s Sacred Gear?” Rias asked.

“No need for honorifics, just Jaune is fine. As for the Sacred Gear, I don’t want the Sacred Gear, to be frank, I want the soul of the Sacred Gear,” Jaune said.

“I see. Even if Issei decides to accept your trade offer, removing a Sacred Gear from the wielder will result in their death,” Rias said.

“That’s true for most people wanting to extract a Sacred Gear, but for me, such problems are none existent,” Jaune said with confidence.

“…Even if that’s the case, what are you willing to trade for his Sacred Gear if he accepts?” Rias asked.

“I can help you train your entire peerage in exchange for the Sacred Gear,” Jaune said.

“Oh? What makes you think that I won’t be able to train them on my own to win against him?” Rias asked.

“Simple. I have been watching you for the past few days, not once have I seen you train any of your peerage members. If you decided to take my offer, I can guarantee that you will beat Riser Phenex,” Jaune said.

“I don’t believe that one bit. From the moment you’ve stepped in here, not once have I felt any magic from you,” Rias said.

From the beginning of this conversation, not a single person from Rias Peerage have spoken besides her. When Jaune walked inside the ORC, everyone thought that Jaune’s just a regular Human, but after he talked about wanting the Sacred Gear with Issei, they knew that he wasn’t just a normal person. Nonetheless, they could not feel any form of magic from Jaune, so they thought that he was just a regular person that knows about the supernatural until Jaune released an immense amount of magic after Rias questioned his words.

For Jaune, this was the first time that he released a hundred percent of his limit that had nothing to do with reviving Summer, not even when he made divine weapons or power such as Phoebus Catastrophe, Excalibur, Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, he would just slowly allow the magic to form the weapon rather than let it be completed at once, this way the power would not be leaked, after all, the magic within Jaune can only be hidden as long as it isn’t being used. That means that people who know about magic will only be able to feel the amount that Jaune was using not the amount that he has. Jaune has never released this amount of power before since he knew it would create chaos on Remnant since they would feel fear, but here on Draconic Deus, he didn’t care since there was no creature of Grimm that would be affected when people feel fear, so he let loose a bit.

Everyone inside the ORC was suddenly pushed to the ground, they could hardly breathe at the magical pressure that Jaune was emitting. They didn’t think that Jaune was someone with such immense magical energy, the others didn’t know just how powerful the amount of power Jaune was emitting, but Rias knew that the power was similar to that of her brother Sirzechs when he unleashes his true form. She couldn’t believe that someone can release this amount of power, and a Human no less. She may not be racist like other Devils, but she still has a sense of superiority for being a Devil and a member of House Gremory.

“Are you satisfied with this?” Jaune asked.

When Jaune asked, they had no words to say, there was nothing to say. A simple release of his magical energy was strong enough to suppress them all with no ability to fight back. Issei who was on the ground stood back up, he made his decision, he didn’t care if he lost his Sacred Gear, as long as he can help Rias dissolve the Arrange Marriage, then everything would be worth it.

“I’ve decided! You said that you would train me with a guarantee that I’ll be able to beat the Yakitori, right? And I also won’t die from the extraction of the Sacred Gear?” Issei asked.

“That’s right. So, are you accepting my offer?” Jaune asked.

“Yes! I will do anything to help Buchou in any way that I can! Even if I have to sacrifice something in return,” Issei said with determination.

“Alright, stand there and don’t move,” Jaune said. Then the next moment, the whole Peerage of Rias was in shock, Jaune sliced Issei in half with a sword, but of course, this sword isn’t just any sword, it was Yamato, the sword with the power of separation.

“Issei/ Ise-san/ Issei-senpai!” Everyone shouted, but the next moment, they realised that a green gem was brought out of Issei and he was fine.

“I’m fine…” Issei said while inspecting his whole body.

“Ise-san are you alright?” Asia asked. She was worried about Issei after she saw someone slice him in half.

“I’m fine…Asia,” Issei said to Asia with a reassuring voice.

“What is that sword?!” Kiba asked. He was shocked to see Yamato, he can feel the demonic power emitted by the sword, it was a level that Kiba wasn’t capable of making with his Sword Birth.

“This is Devil Sword Yamato,” Jaune said. He didn’t want to relieve any other information about his sword, tell them its name was good enough and would take them a long time to realise that such a sword does not exist in the world of DxD.

“Now that you have the Sacred Gear. When will we start the training?” Issei asked.

“We can start now, but you don’t have a weapon since I took yours and training you and the others can’t be considered a fair trade and that just won’t sit right with me, therefore…here take this,” Jaune said will tossing blue crystal to Issei.

“What’s this?” Issei asked. He inspected the crystal; it was as big as his palm.

“That’s a crystal storage, crush it and the weapon inside will be integrated to you,” Jaune said.

Issei followed Jaune’s instruction and crushed the crystal, the next second, he was covered in light. When the light died down, everyone saw that on both Issei’s hands was a long glove, this was the final form of the X-Glove from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

“Whoa! These gloves feel awesome! And they are on both my hands rather than just my left,” Issei said.

“That’s called the X-Glove. It is capable of controlling, producing, manipulating and absorbing any form of fire even hellfire or phoenix fire. And if you are proficient enough to use it at its fullest, then you may be able to activate its special ability Zero Point Break Through,” Jaune said. Technically, the ability to absorb fire was part of the Zero Point Breakthrough but is the second Generation or Modified Version. It wasn’t as hard as using the original Zero Point Break Through which requires the user to reverse the ability of Fire creating a never melting Ice.

“Now that’s settled we can start everyone’s training now if you like,” Jaune said.

“Unno? Where will we be training?” Asia asked. Jaune didn’t answer, instead, he summoned something from his Gate of Babylon, this was a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, though it looked different from dragon ball as it looked just like a normal door that isn’t attached to anything

With that, Jaune asked everyone to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, this was something Jaune made with his magic but it is incomplete since it is different from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball. It needs a massive amount of magic to create the completed versions since it is like creating a whole world with ten times Earth’s gravity just from entering and it gets stronger the more you train on it. The time though isn’t as good as the one in dragon ball which is 1:365, meaning one day outside of the chamber is one year inside, Jaune’s is only 1:180, but Jaune believes that it is enough to train everyone to reach the power of Super Devil and wait for the chaos to unfold. Jaune’s going to have fun watching Riser squirm.

Many people will think, ‘If he has a hyperbolic time chamber, then why didn’t he train Prime JNPR and RWBY on it or the version on his world?’ That’s because Jaune avoids using it, if possible, he didn’t want to spend too much time in an empty world or empty half-world in his case when he uses the Hyperbolic Time Chamber since it isn’t complete.
