Reborn: Ulquiorra In DxD World - Chapter 43

“I could hardly sense what are you because part of you became a devil. But I could still sense that you are a soul. A conglomeration of countless human souls.” Ophis said.

Her words shocked them but there’s still some people who can’t understand what she is saying.

“Did you feel it too, Ddraig?” Ophis asked Ddraig.

[I felt it the first time we met.] Ddraig said. But now he couldn’t sense it anymore because of the demonic energy that was slowly fusing to his body and rebuilding it.

“You were born from the countless human souls. The souls either fused or it was something different. I don’t know. Your existence is very strange. It’s my first time seeing you.” Ophis continues, “I also sense a feint corruption in your soul the first time I saw you back then. But now I couldn’t even sense it anymore.”

She was talking about the incident when Great Red appeared in the underworld when the Old Satan faction attack the underworld.

“I don’t understand what she’s saying… ” Issei said.

“Me too, Ise-san” Asia said to Issei.

“Born from conglomeration of human souls interesting.” Azazel said in a low voice. He kept listening to Ophis words very attentively.

“The energy your using was extremely lethal to human beings. Just a slight touch you will burn a normal human beings to death. Those without energy in their bodies to repel your powers will burn them even it you just touch them. It feels that is an energy of a soul. A power of soul. How do you strengthen yourself like that?” Ophis said.

“Can burn human to death with just a slight touch?” Issei repeated those words. It seems he must not let his parent come near to Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra looked at Ophis for a while. After a few moments he finally opened his mouth, “I was born like this, we are a being that devour other souls, be it dead or alive.”

“Devour other souls?!” Rias was shocked when she heard this.

“We? Doesn’t mean that there are others like you?” Azazel asked. It must be that Arranacar group or something he talked about last time.

“Strange. You said we but I haven’t seen anyone like you” Ophis said.

“That’s what I want to know. That’s why I’m investigating it” Ulquiorra said to her.

‘Hmm… Now I know why you and Vali seems to work together.’ Azazel thought as he hold his chin.

“I want to look. I want to observe the growth of your possessor Ddraig. And this you, I want to know more about you.” Ophis said to the Issei and Ulquiorra. Even if she’s emotionless, her eyes have a color of interest in it.

Azazel placed his hand on Issei’s shoulder. “So like that, can you leave her in this house for a few days? Just as you see, Ophis wants to look at you. I don’t know what’s the reason there is behind this, but it will be fine if it’s just looking right?”

“No, no, no! It’s not just me Ulquiorra too.” Issei said to Azazel.

“He’s fine about this, so you don’t have to think about him.” Azazel said. In fact, before Azazel know this Vali already told Ulquiorra about it.

“…” Issei turned his head and looked at Ulquiorra. He saw Ulquiorra was calmly sitting in the chair with his arms crossed in his ċhėst.

“If he’s fine with it then I also…. ” Issei sighed and decided to give up. “…I just hope that they don’t disturb me, important test are coming soon.”

“I’m sorry for dragging you in every time, Issei. Putting stress to you even though it’s right before an important test…. But this is a chance. If it goes smoothly the threat that each faction is facing might lessen.” Azazel said to Issei.

He then turned to Kuroka and Ophis, “I’m not in the position to say this but Ophis and Kuroka, these guys have important test coming up so don’t disturb them.”

“Undrestood” Ophis nodded.

“I will just relax, nyan” Kuroka said.

…

It’s weekend and Issei and others we’re still studying for the test. There is one girl at gothic-lolita clothing sitting at the corner looking at them. Obviously it’s Ophis…

A few days have passed since that day, and they have their books out lay out on the table. They were studying in a spacious living room for the exam and promotion test… And in the corner of the living room, Ophis was staring directly at them. And that’s while she’s eating cakes that Issei’s mom gave her.

Everyone else was studying while trying not to think about it, but sometimes they couldn’t help themselves and looked at Ophis. There’s one man that wasn’t bother by this and it’s Ulquiorra. He was silently standing near the group.

Issei leaned his body forward near Ulquiorra. He asked, “Ulquiorra, how come your not studying? Your going take your promotion test too, right?”

This question bothered him for a week. In this week he haven’t seen Ulquiorra read a book, even glance at it he didn’t do it. Even Akeno still study for the test even if she know many things about underworld.

Ulquiorra turned his head and looked at him. He opened his mouth and said, “When I first came in Sitri household I went to library and read books about the Underworld for a week. So I know most of the things about Underworld.”

“Eh?!” Issei was shocked when he heard his answer.
