In High School Dxd With Powers Of Nanatsu No Taizai - Chapter 13
*Read the author thought*
At the end of their conversation, Serafall led Leo to meet with the third squad, they could not waste too much time since the other squads were already ready to leave.
Along the way, Serafall kept insisting that he be careful and that once they crossed the barrier he would be alone.
“This is bad, it seems that Serafall sees me only as a small child who has enough potential. As she sees it, it would be to cultivate a talent for her evil pieces … this is problematic, it seems that it is time to demonstrate what I am capable of. “Leo thought to himself as he contemplated how to proceed with his relationship with Serafall.
Either now or in the future, Serafall’s siscon complex was more than known in the anime. Her obsession with her sister reached points where it was embarrassing, because of this, Leo thought of taking advantage of his age in his favor to get closer to her. But apparently, their relationship was not going in the direction he thought.
“Well, I’ll think about that later.” Determined to focus on dealing with the devils first, fixing his relationship with Serafall could wait.
“And that’s what could happen if you don’t take care of your injuries properly … Hmm Leo, are you listening to me?”
“Ah? Eh yeah. “Leo answered quickly leaving his thoughts aside.
¡Sigh!
“Do what you want, if you die, just make sure you’re close to me, there are bad devils that steal children to turn them into their evil pieces, so be careful. If that happens you will make me look bad faced with Sirhcez-chan. Good children do their missions correctly, okay?” Seeing how Leo was distracted and didn’t hear anything of she said, Serafall decided to annoy him a little.
Rolling his eyes, Leo decided to ignore her joke since they had arrived where the third squad.
Although she couldn’t see Leo’s face, Serafall knew him enough to know what his expression was. Laughing at this, she considered bothering him later.
“Who among you is the leader?” Once they arrived, Serafall asked the closest person by the squad leader.
“Leviathan-sama!” Surprised by the appearance of Serafall, the soldier quickly rose to show his respects.
“Yasuo, you have to be more attentive to your surroundings, Leviathan-sama doesn’t even try to hide her presence. you will die quickly if you keep your guard down.” An irritated voice shouted.
“YES, SIR!” Yasuo replied embarrassed.
“Excuse him Leviathan-sama, he has been promoted recently and isn’t used to this environment, but can be sure of his abilities.”
Nodding at his explanation, Serafall did not give importance to the matter and introduced Leo to the squad.
“Gacus, I’ve come to introduce you to your new teammate. His name is Leo and his fighting style is that of a knight if you compare them to a devil he would be in the Mid-class. Although he is not of high class he is strong and will be useful as support.”
Listening to Serafall, Gacus could not but be surprised, not only because Leo was not a devil but because he would be as strong as a Mid-class devil, even though Yasuo was a newly promoted soldier, he was already a top-class devil and not only Yasuo but all the devils that were selected for this mission were Top-class devils.
“Even if he is a Mid-class devil, there must be a reason for Leviathan-sama to present him personally.” Gacus thought
“As you know, I’m Gacus the squad leader and the tower, including you there are five members in the squad. Once they introduce up we will leave. We have already wasted too much time ” Gacus gave a brief presentation. Unlike Yasuo, Gacus had an experienced warrior aura, adding his ninety meters tall and sturdy physique, which made him seem imposing.
“My name is Toshiko, and I am a bishop”
“My name is Nara and like Toshiko, I am a bishop”
Giving only their names and a presentation and their piece. Currently, they wear a uniform similar to the others in the squad. Although unlike Yasuo and Gacus full body armor, her uniform consists of a black shirt and pants. In addition to this, they had a golden armor that only covered around their ċhėst, shoulders, and legs.
Seeing the armor of Toshiko and Nara, Leo could not help but be delighted with her dress although they lacked little to be a bikini armor.
“Well, you met. It’s time for me to leave. Besides, it’s almost time for what they have to be prepared for. ”
Seeing Serafall leave, Gacus walked to Leo
“Once we enter the barrier, we don’t know what awaits us inside. Be ready”
While Gacus warned them, Leo concentrated on examining the barrier.
Although Leo was not a magic expert, Serafall taught him a lot about magic so he could still know how the barrier works. How the runes were organized and their configuration was unique, everything was perfectly designed to optimize its effectiveness. The barrier function was to isolate the area from the outside but the only drawback was that there were more runes added to this configuration and they did not know what it was for.
After Leo finished examining the barrier, he waits for Gacus to finish his speech and he follows inside the barrier.
Once they crossed the barrier, everything changed.
Looking around, they saw a forest instead of a brush and cliffs as before. In the distance, what was once a building in disrepair, became a sinister castle surrounded by several magical formations.
“On the move, there is no time to lose.”
Nodding towards Gacus, they entered the forest.
