Dxd: Master Of Shadows - Volume 1 Chapter 6 6 Rewrite Maximus
“Huh?!”
My mother tilted her head, and followed my so called sister, the 2 could possibly destroy a nation with it but for it to be directed at me was too much.
“Young man~ are you doubting the blood of your sister?”
I quickly shook my head, anything worse than disagreeing with my mom? The worst place in Hell. Suddenly, a few different men in the oh-so-familiar clothing of mages came and took a look at the damage. They acted like bigshots and saw me holding the spear and was standing just right in front of the ‘accident’, the man in front with the aura of c.o.c.kiness pointed a chin at me and the 2 other women with him came to me and tried to grab me, my mother didn’t move and so did my father as they just listened what the man wanted.
“Hey, kid. Did you cause this?”
His voice was, regular glasses noble dude stereotype. The 2 women, brought me into him with a bit of force but not enough to even bother me, I was positive that I could make them fly right now but allowed them to do so, why? Because if my mother didn’t move, then it was either important or they’re stronger.
‘I doubt the latter’
(Oooh, they look fancy! Who’re they my friend?)
‘I dunno, we’re going to find out right now though’
“When I ask you a question, you answer! Understand?!”
The glasses dude started shouting at me and used a bit of air magic to make me submit, I scoffed at him, no seriously, a little witch could make me fly a few meters away at the age of 6 and this guy couldn’t…huh, doesn’t that actually make Elaine scarier?
“You! A lowly brat like you dares?!-”
“Mongrel, your talking to a 3/4 demigod, a quarter human, a half and a quarter God, your the lowly one mutt.”
(Woah there, friend! Your sounding like some old goldy somewhere, also your only technically 1% human but whatever~)
‘I’m 1%?’
The glasses dude heard my words and looked around him, there was the infamous ‘Thunder’, the famous ‘Goddess of Night’ and several others, he pieced by pieced it and when he realized he immediately knelt.
“I sincerely apologize, your royal highness. We are the representatives from the Mages Association and we ask that you allow us to question you for the sudden rise in magical fluctuations around this area. I have not seen you in real time, so I could not recognize you.”
‘Bullshit, my orange hair is a dead give away!’
I looked at my mom and dad and they just gave me a smile, a smile that said ‘you go now’ aw come on! Why?!

*Unknown Hall, a few hours later*
“Umm…”
“What?”
“What exactly am I supposed to do?”
Right around me right now, was several people I’m very familiar with, excluding my…sister? Anyways, after this mysterious scarf of mine made me apply his ‘shadow’ to my [EX Knight of Owner] while using all of my power to launch a strike at mom’s hair dummy. The fact that I actually made it exist no more gathered several attentions toward me, not that they didn’t already but-
“Victor Malum Noctis Lionheart, crown prince of the Lionheart royal family, a demigod with only a quarter of humanity in him, a genius among geniuses.”
An old man with black hair with several white strands spoke to me while reading a certain book, surrounding me was my mom, dad, my witch, my sister, and several others that know me and is connected to the royal family.
“You claim to have the power to destroy a dummy with as much godly defense as your mother itself, along with some of our defensive spells and her defensive spells?”
“I…don’t really claim it. It’s just kind of obvious, no?”
He raised an eyebrow slowly and fixed his glasses while putting down his book, he stood up and touched the scarf on my neck, he fixed his glasses once more while observing it, he took a look at it for a few more minutes before doing the same to the spear. After that he went back to his chair, wrote some notes and then said to me.
“That spear just became a weapon that could possibly kill Gods, but now it’s back to a generic spear. Explain this?”
(Don’t explain my friend! The secrets of me and your [Skills] are worth more than this entire kingdom!)
‘Is it worth more than my family?’
(No…or well I’d like to say so, but sadly…yes.)
I sighed internally and scratched the back of my head.
‘I’m not sure about keeping the secrets for my family but for this situation? I can.’
“I, have no, actually solid, living idea, of what the unspecified, flying trickery, in the age of Gods, that was.”
He narrowed his eyes at my answer and slowly used force by materializing a earth stick near him, this was allowed by my father, like, every knight and mage in the castle was allowed to use force against me but-
“I’m sure~ that you wouldn’t~ right~?”
My mother made the people still not use force against me, this poor mage judge dude from the mages association who came and investigated about a shocking amount of magic, mana, something power tried to probe me a bit but, alas.
“N-No. I didn’t plan to Nyx-Sama”
“Oho~ I see~ I’ll let you probe my son~ but once he shows sign of injury too much for what a child can handle-”
She manifested a shadow from her hand, it slowly floated to the guy’s neck before forming into some type of hand.
“Puchi~”
Gulp. Yes, you could hear him gulp.
“Puchi!”
The mini-mom, my sister, imitated her puchi but in a cuter manner. I’d have to ask about her later, but first the mages.
“Okay, since the Goddess has given me permission, I will do as I have promised and use adequate force that the crown prince can handle.”
So, a few rocks under me rose and started making the shape of a cell around me, I wanted to get out but I decided not to, or we decided not to.
(Don’t you dare do anything, my friend, did you know that the best way to escape interrogation is usually to act like you cared naught?)
‘My memories said that the best way to get out of an interrogation is to interrogate the interrogator himself’
(Sounds like you, indeed)
Anyways, the earth surrounding me slowly started becoming smaller with the intent of crushing me, will it work? Not really, I’ve been hit by a gigantic wall before. Don’t ask how, my mom just did it on her whim.
“Look, I really don’t know what you guys want to know but if you want me to fight you then just say so. This useless trap won’t even trap a fly version of me”
I scoffed and crossed my arms, to be absolutely honest, I did not like doing this and if possible just wanted to have a cool talk with old man. But, since I am a demigod, they don’t treat us normally and so I won’t either.
(Why didn’t you say mongrel? mortal? lowly being? I really wanted to hear you say those you know~)
‘Aren’t I actually the mongrel?’
(…)
“We don’t want to antagonize you any further since in the coming days, we are aware of how important you will be, but this phenomenon that happened allowed you to destroy, and I repeat destroy without any remains, a doll made with a goddess’ hair and further enhanced by her defensive spells and some of ours as. This doll was used as your training dummy, much to our disappointment. But it says here that you did not have the power to destroy it previously, but now after an incident of you passing out after the birt”
“How do you even know that?”
Oops, I made the situation bad. My father started releasing orange sparks while the rest of the mages supervising this were also releasing pressure.
“Yes, I do have that question as well, why does the Mages Association know that much?”
My father, who was only silently watching, asked with little bit of anger in his voice. The few weaker mages shivered but his next words also made us stare at him weirdly.
“IF I FIND YOU GUYS TRYING TO SPY ON ME SMELLING NYX-CHAN’S PANTIES I’LL KILL YOU DEAD!”
He stopped and slapped his mouth quickly, he looked at my mom who was glaring at him and the other mages watched as a shadow hand grabbed him and threw him out from the window.
“I’m…..Sooooooooryyyyyyyyyy!”
Twinkle.
“Please~ Continue the questioning now~ I really want to know if you’ve seen me sniffing my husband’s underwea-”
She ran out on her own with my sister, this leaves me and some others including Elaine alone with the mages.
(…I see now, the [Skills] aren’t worth it for this family huh?)
‘No, I think it may just be…just kidding~’
The mages, after this fun comedic situation all coughed in sync and the questioning continued. But just as I was about to speak-
FWIH!
[EX Instinct] activated and I saw a windblade, it was fast enough but my instinct allowed to just slightly move my head to the left, I looked at the caster but he ran away.
“CATCH THAT MAN!”
‘Oh? So it’s not one of them?’
A group of mages all started running after the robed man who ran away the first instant he saw me dodge his spell, I looked super cool doing it that Elaine had hearts on her eyes, as usual.
“Your royal highness!”
The few knights left, all covered me from different angles and Elaine was behind me, she already erected a barrier but I didn’t need it. It was an assassination attempt or something similar but the question is if they think that would actually kill me? If they did then the enemy had less brains than a dog but if they some other pla-
“Old man! Make you men stop chasing him! It’s a trap!” (AN: Star Wars? Anyone?)
The black haired old man looked at me and had a look of doubt but soon after a loud explosion could be heard at the entrance, we were on the tower of magic, the headquarters of the Mages Association. I looked towards the mini window and saw a weird looking muscly guy at the entrance.
“Oi! I heard there was a demigod in this place! I’m the one and only Armekreutz Agares! Gahahaha and I want you to be my minion!”
(Hoh~ A courageous Devil~ too bad he’s an idiot! My friend, face him. Do not worry, he won’t even actually be able to hurt you! Just tell me if you want to fight him, I’ll allow him to live within your presence, or tell you how to allow him)
The many mages inside the room came flying out of the window, they were a total of 45 and the devil was alone except with a little headless mage below him. He had a green tint blonde hair and the clothes that seemed to lean towards the blue color, he had a c.o.c.ky aura on him and the fact that he wanted me to be his minion irked something inside me but I kept it in.
(Oh? Your already feeling the superiority sickness of Gods? That’s a little to young but I guess being only 1% human does it huh?)
‘Just what do you mean by that?’
The 45 mages all shot their spells of different types and scales, but the man just disappeared and appeared instantly behind them. From that only 7 mages remained, they all had quite the barriers up and had shocked faces as the Devil laughed.
“Gahahaha! Agares is the strongest Devil family, don’t you know that?”
“But why are you attacking us?! What about the treaty?!”
The Devil laughed and gave the mage a thumbs down, he then grinned, the grin of a Devil before the mage lost his head and the Agares was behind the corpse.
“The treaty hasn’t even started yet, even more there’s chaos in the Underworld and we need good recruits for the upcoming war! I wanted to have a demigod for us Devils and I heard there was a strong one named ‘Thunder’ here? I don’t know much but he killed a lot of fallen and we need his power!”
Even that didn’t bother to be honest, but his next words caused me to sigh in irritation.
“I heard he also has a…good looking wife~ I don’t know what she is, but if she’s also a demigod it’s even better! Gahahaha! I’ll have fun with her instead, while that guy figh-”
(I guess you’ll show him?)
‘Fine, I’ll show him…’
