Dxd: Master Of Shadows - Volume 2 Chapter 15 15

‘Is this how being drunk and being sick the next day feels like?’

I tried to clench the first thing I felt on my palms, strangely it wasn’t Frigis Aurora but a handful of sand- wait, where’s the spear?!

I sat up quickly, ignoring the tsunami levels of pain my head currently feels. I looked around me and much to my disappointment, the spear wasn’t around.

“Where’s the spear?! Why is my hair orange again?! Why does it feel like this island just got a little bigger?!”

I stood up and tried to walk but my legs were weirdly numb, I crawled instead, no shame in moving. After a few hard minutes of trying to get myself near the edge of the island and getting a sip of water, a familiar voice finally called out to me.

(How does it feel to be corroded by death, friend?)

“Corroded?”

(Yes, purple hair, pale skin, literal bloody eyes, and a slight [D Mad Enhancement], I warned you not to be hasty but you ignored me by you 100th soul)

“Is this why I feel so…bad?”

I grabbed my temples and massaged them in a exaggerated manner, I also started banging my head in the sand, you never know maybe it helps.

(The pain is caused by being exposed to the aura of death, letting it invade you and then using all of your power suddenly to use Certa Mors, plus forcefully writing a name in the tablet of the dead would make you lose 1% of your life, that would explain your current numbness, friend stop using the spear unless you needed to)

I cringed at the super valuable news given super late for no reason, so basically the spear is a 100 time use before I die or something, great! Thanks universe!

“Wait, does that only count when I use Certa Mors? Or using the spear in general kills me?”

(The spear gathers souls every kill you make with it, the higher the souls you absorbed the stronger the spear gets, the more stronger the spear the more potent the corrosion becomes, and the only way to release those souls is by using Certa Mors and giving the true reaper the souls in exchange for the name and sure death of your target, so yes, the spear in general is pretty deadly)

“Nice! Even better, so aside from the f.u.c.k.i.n.g spear being a guillotine after 99 uses, where is it?”

The state I was in when the corrosion was happening, in more simpler terms, was hazy. I remembered what I did but I don’t exactly know why I did so, and the spear? I don’t know where it was either.

(The spear should be wherever it was thrown, I mean it’s not magical homing spear, if you want it back then just try to get a feel for something death-ish, it’s probably the only thing like that in here, friend?)

I wasn’t listening, I already started crawling away when he said ‘feel something death-ish’, why? Well, the nearest death-ish feel I can feel is about only a few kilometers away.

“I wonder how the spear got there, also, when will my legs be working again!?”

(Be patient, your body basically died and came back to life, rigor mortis is what it’s called)

I ignored him and continued crawling towards the direction where I could feel the spear close in, wait close in?

Umu.

(I say run or crawl away, right now, friend)

What would you feel when an army of fishes, bigger than big, are swimming or marching while pushing a slab of rock where a spear was lodged in. Oh, I mean there’s like so many of them that they almost seemed like a moving island, what do I feel? I feel threatened, especially if that spear was mine.

I was about to sneak crawl away and pretend that spear was never mine to begin with but-

“Oi! There’s the trial taker! LET’S GET REVENGE FOR OUR KING WHALE-LION!”

And so, the island like army of gigantic fishes turned to me, from octopuses-lion to jellyfish-lion, they all gave me a glare of death.

“So…umm, hello~ how may I help you uhh, many bunch?”

“We want revenge! To actually kill the king in a disgraceful manner, you’re not fit to be a king!”

‘Disgraceful? There was some shit I needed to do before I won? Also, how the hell do they even know where I was?!’

I wanted to retort but then, a certain item that I have not notice until now started shining blue, yes it was the literal whale shaped key in my neck, the fishes reacted to it probably as well. Great. I’m currently temporarily crippled and now…how many are they again?

“Umm, so. Hey! How many are you, guys?”

“The entire south den is here to kill you”

“…how many is the ‘entire’?”

“2 trillion”

“Oh look, my legs are working again! Hahaha! Cool timing right?”

They all just kept glaring at me and the leader looking shark-lion, or probably a shark-lion, they don’t exactly have heads to guess from other than a lion, raised his fins.

“Kill this disgraceful bastard”

“REVENGE FOR THE KING!”

Victor was currently swimming his life out while being chased by a estimated total of 2 trillion gigantic fishes, it’s nothing that special but it’s pretty odd on it’s own, yeah.

HEY BIBLICAL GOD, I THINK I NEED PLOT ARMOR ARROWS! VICTOR IS DOING WEIRD SHIT AGAIN!

*Lionheart Castle, Lake ‘Thunder’ Lionheart*

‘A boring day…’

I gazed outside the window behind me, I was in my office, or as I title it, my punishment room. Weirdly enough, the whole week previously was full of stupid slander from the kingdom I least expected it from, Zerkraken.

“I wonder what got into that White’s head…”

I quickly returned my focus to it’s rightful owner, the papers of masochism! Oh dear, this things are full of idiotic prepositions and just suggestions of nobles to turn HALF of the commoner district into their plaza.

“This is just plain stupid, do nobles not study or something?”

I obviously cross out those types of suggestions and papers, from time to time there’s good things, ironically from the commoners like decreasing the price of certain items so they could be provided for those that need them or making projects about extending the sizes of some public farms so that they could provide a lot more. Seriously, why are the commoners so amazing?!

“That’s obviously a check…”

I stopped, I’m lacking energy, I needed to revitalize myself. I stood from the chair and quickly went below the table, there’s a hidden compartment in there that would react if I put just a little bit of mana.

“oOoOoOh, huehuehue”

There it was…Nyx’s pantsu! I took them out quickly and started sniffing the glorious victorious fragrant twirling beautiful amazing soft silky pair of covers! People often ask if I value anything material, heh, I always say no but in truth…panties are my treasure, NOT JUST ANY PANTIES! I need Nyx’s panties, they smell of a goddess is so mesmerizing.

“Hoh? You sure did a good job hiding them huh?”

“Indeed, it’s a cool spot that she nev-”

I quickly removed the panties from my face and looked at who witnessed my…oh, it’s my wifey.

“Hi, love you Nyx. How are you today? Do you want to have a vacation? Ha…haha…”

Run.

My usual orange sparks covered me and I started running out of the room, but before I even managed to lift a single feet from the ground, a black shadowy mist in the shape of an arm grabbed my leg and lifted me up, upside down.

“Give me”

NOOOOO! This was last of my collection in the ‘1st year with Nyx’ pantsu collection! THESE ARE PURER THAN GOLD!

“No! Stop! Don’t get them from me! nOoOoO!”

“They’re mine anyways!”

“THEY’RE NOT YOURS WHEN YOU DON’T WEAR THEM!”

“What sort of pervert argues when he’s caught being a pervert?”

“A pervert who fights for perverseness is a mighty warrior who sticks to his convictions and not falter even in the face of a God!”

“You just took the situation literally!”

I was about to say another retort to wifey but the door, yes that door, the evil door that usually means something bad opened. There came a fabulously robed noblewoman who rolled her eyes as she saw my situation, there’s nothing roll eye worthy about having panty on top of my beautiful orange hair! Nyx placed me down and walked and crossed her arms while using her chin to tell the noblewoman to go and do her business.

“My King, I have a complaint!”

“Uhh, what’s your name Mrs?”

“I’m Adelina Leighton, wife of Richard Leighton, my family is matriarchal so I hold more authority than my husband, now I ask of you to please allow slavery in this kingdom!”

What the f.u.c.k is this idiot talking about?

“No, that’s not even a complaint. If that’s all then please escort yourself out, I don’t think you have anything else smart to say”

I lightly shook my head and faced my wife to continue defending the pride of every pervert out there but the noblewoman didn’t stop there, like I asked her to.

“Why? Why must we spare a percent of our land to mere commoners?! I understand the witches, no matter how disgusting they are, they are still useful for war and stuff but what about those commoners? Even if we have them as slaves they can still do their previous works can’t they? Why must we treat them normally? It sickens me to have to look up to the taller few when I’m talking to them!”

“Why is that even a problem? You’re already suppressing them by acting all mighty and not allowing them entry, even if not part of any law, to the noble district? Don’t you understand that a kingdom relies on the commoners and their works to be successful?”

She started gritting her teeth, does she not remember that I am a king?

“Fine! Remember this day you- tch, you’ll regret this”

She stomped away and made sure to bang the door as she closed it, I would need to talk with them later on, I won’t let those kind of thoughts go pass without any supervision, who knows what they might do.

I followed after the noblewoman who just left or so I hoped but, darn it.

“Where are you going~?”

________________________________________________________________________________________

“Stupid f.u.c.k.i.n.g king! He’s so biased towards the commoner, maybe it’s because he’s demigod, shitty mongrels”

The noblewoman named Adelina Leighton was riding a carriage and loudly stomped on the floor, this caused the man on his side to lightly place a hand on her shoulder and pat her whenever she stomped.

“A-Adelina, just relax…in fact I think you shouldn’t continue what you’re planning, treason is bad…”

“Shut up Richard! You wuss! That stupid demigod needs to learn his place, just cause he’s demigod he can do f.u.c.k all and forget about us?!”

“I-I’m sure that’s not his-”

“That’s his stupid fault! We’re here come on!”

The carriage stopped and they quickly went out and entered inside a totally not suspicious looking place, nope, the building with a sign named “Coup D’etat” was definitely normal, anyways, after the couple entered, several other guards took them and to a special room inside.

“Ara~ welcome Mr and Mrs Leighton, gyao~”

The same old busty ara ara Tigress was present, sitting in a chair surrounded by many other nobles, some were staring at her b.o.o.b.s and probably also came for the b.o.o.b.s but some had a distinct anger in their gaze while looking at the board behind her.

“You! We want in, we’re gonna join this stupid revolt against that stupid king of ours”

Tigress gestured for the two to sit and they did so without any problems, they waited for a few more minutes as several other nobles came, some were even dukes, and no barons due to the fact that most barons are mostly knights, and knights are very loyal.

“Ara~ it seems we are finally complete, again, welcome to our humble abode…of smart nobles with the mind of great genius to ally themselves with us~”

A nobleman suddenly asked a question, interrupting Tigress but she allowed it, image was important.

“Are you sure that this is going to work? What’s the kingdom behind you? Can you manage against our king despite his reputation of being a powerful warrior?”

“One question at a time, but since all of those are simple things, yes, we are absolutely sure it will work, the 3 kingdoms are, we KNOW his weakness. Does that satisfy you now oh great Duke?”

He snorted and crossed his arms, it seems like he was satisfied, by Tigress’ b.o.o.b.s bouncing.

“Just explain the plan, as long as I’m going to agree you won’t have any problems on this side”

“It helps that the Duke is very cooperative, anyways, the plan is that you will continue to weaken the forces from inside, it doesn’t matter how, all you need to do is sabotage the food supply and any other necessary requirements before we engage, it helps if you could also lessen the mounts and weapons, anything will do, gyao~”

The nobles started whispering among each other, the noise of the room rocketed and most of them were nodding their heads and some were saying stuff like ‘this is easy’ and ‘I wonder if clothes count’

“How would you promise us that we will be safe during the war?”

“You will sneak out of the kingdom a day before the war, we will assist you in doing so, gyao~”

And now the room became even more joyous, any tint of doubt towards the plan was gone, unknown to them that a certain Richard Leighton was keeping quiet while fidgeting…

‘T-this is wrong, the king never did us bad! What is wrong with thes-‘

“Richard! What do you say we take care of the food supply to the east? We can do it easily since we do own a farm in there!”

“I-I don’t think…this is a goo-”

“Ah, shut up you spineless wuss! We do this right and we get our future bright! The stupid king made an enemy of 3 other kingdoms! He’s finished, plus they know his weakness, whatever it is”

Richard could only stay quiet and silently curse his decision for coming here.

‘I’m sorry Adelina, I can’t do something as treacherous to King Lake as this, I’ll have to warn him’
