Chapter 159 - Their Prey

Yaldabaoth finished his transformation that turned his soul into a massive serpentine dragon having a mixture of Ddraig and his eldritch form that was ever changing and fluctuating. He opted to fix it trying to retain a coherent form yet was far too difficult and just remained how he looked. Ophis who watched couldn't help but curiously wonder what exactly he was as his strength was now considered to be one of the strongest only below her concept of Infinity.  

As someone who represents the concept of Infinity doesn't necessarily mean she was a capable fighter and Ryuu could easily beat her if they were to fight. Comparing the power systems of each other's world always leads to vague guesses and answers. After a while, he returned to his previous form fixing his trench coat like gentlemen.  

"Forgive me for making you wait."

"Now your done, give me more biscuits."

"Alright, let's go."

Yaldabaoth picked her up and placed the dragon god into his shoulder who was confused why he was doing that but didn't mind and mildly enjoyed the weird action. He smiled as they teleported back to his home and spread his senses to find they weren't anyone home then found them near in the mountains and saw that they were training. 

He went inside his home to get more cookies and got some fresh batches of sweets for Ophis whose eyes seemed to lit up when she saw the bag of biscuits. Afterwards, he switched himself with the main body with little to no action to Ophis who just enjoyed her sweets. 

"This is what your real body looks like?"

"That's right, anyhow are you coming with me or are you returning back to Khaos brigade?"

"I'm going to head back but I'll return for more of this."

Ryuu didn't try to stop her knowing he'll be safe and it would be suspicious if she's gone for too long. He planted a small pathogen to act as spy and infect his enemy to turn them into his [ Daemon ]. It was important for him to be careful knowing how perceptive his enemy could be. Ophis leaves for the time being while Ryuu decides to head into where his lovers were training. 

He soon arrived to find Erza fighting Kanae in swordsmanship while Xiao Yan was fighting with Justine in hand to hand combat. Once he gotten closer, Mitsuri and Miia noticed him and quickly greeted him.

"Your back!? How was your meeting?"( Mitsuri )

"Where's Lucifer? And why do you smell…oh!"( Miia)

She immediately notices the aroma of debauchery on Ryuu's body despite cleaning himself. Afterwards, Miia notices how he appears a lot stronger than before he left for the meeting a few hours ago. He has a more fiery and intoxicating aura around him than before. 

"We're done here."

"Haaa….I have never seen a woman as scary as you."

"This world is really interesting in how they handle power. I'm still trying to figure out what this strange energy is around us."

Xiao Yan felt exhausted from the constant beat up that Justine landed on him yet kept going after he learned how to use Touki a few days ago with the addition of Senjutsu from the text book provided by Rias. Training them was similar to how he trained but doesn't use the system of breakthrough which could be applied endlessly to his body and energy.

Considering it to train both internal and external without limit would prove useful. The only problem is the polluted energy around but fortunately, Kanae could easily cause the vegetation to grow and remove population helping him train. Magic wasn't his forte and opted to train what he was capable of rather than worrying about what he lacked. They took a break from training to have a chat about certain things. 

"You've grown stronger than before brother?"

"I did a little hunting and found some gold. That aside, your processing with Touki and Senjutsu is quite frightening."

"I'll say, my disciples seem to be compatible with this type of training. My estimation of his training is around Dou Shi."

Yao Lao who was only dragged into the mess was shocked to find how his disciples were rapidly growing stronger than before. He theorizes it was the rules set by the world that Xiao Yan was progressing like a monster. Dou Qi may be stronger but the energy within Draconic Deus was more malleable and can be molded to varying degrees. 

Ryuu nodded looking at Xiao Yan being reminded by his brother. He even jokingly thought he was a reincarnation of his brother only to be bewildered when he peered through using his [ Pure Byakugan ]. It was only a few days ago and bw wanted to tell him that he was the reincarnation of his brother but knowing that he had a new life now couldn't take it from him now. 

He kept it to himself and focused more on helping him grow stronger. Ryuu is already happy knowing that his brother will be a great person in the future.

"I also find magic in this world or rather the public use of it to be rather bizarre. They should have helped people learn to use magic…but realizing how to use it for their evil desire can see why people refuse sharing."

Erza, who came from a world where magic was accessible to nearly everyone with only a select few who couldn't use magic still had magical items. However, the deeper she thought about the more she realized people would use magic to wage war and cause conflict that could ruin lives. 

"Putting that aside, is there anything I could do to save my mother?"

After finding out who her true mother is and where she came from wanted to do something to save her mother in her current path. Erza knew her mother loved her and only had her mind twisted by the isolation of being alone and trapped as a dragon for hundreds of years. 

"Unfortunately I do not, however, the best thing you could do is grow stronger considering confronting her as you are would be difficult. Perhaps, I could help you once I'm allowed to travel to your world."

"...I..Thank you, Ryuu-san, I appreciate it." 

"Anytime, I have the power, why won't I help? I'm your friend and the power of friendship is the strongest magic in your world."

"Stop it, I know how ridiculous my world is after reading it."

Erza realizes time and time again how her guild member manages to survive numerous enemies where they were heavily disadvantaged. She knew eventually they would be enemies that they'll face beyond their abilities.

"Same here, I realize how stupid my action in that fiction and I'm just extremely lucky."

After a while their group returned to their temporary home as the next day would be when they would hunt their enemies. The people going to Kuoh are only Ryuu while the rest would go explore and fight their enemy. Tanjiro declines going to school since he is already satisfied with where he is now. Though, his younger sibling was enrolled in a few public schools.

"I can't believe you did that to me!"

They were at the dimensional room where Lucifer woke up from her slumber complaining how she was ravished by him while his woman was aroused since he had never been that rough. Ryuu shrugged it off whispering to her ear.

"But you like it, didn't you?"

"I-I...shut up!"

Lucifer blushed recalling their night and enjoyed every moment of it. However, she couldn't accept that Ryuu was turning her into his slave rather than the other way around. Justine chuckled at the prideful while Shinobu evilly grinned, having plans concocting to tame the demon queen.

"Putting that aside, did Rias-chan join you and you accept it just like that?"( Kanae )

"Yeah, I stop caring anymore since all of you were right about my problem…"

".....here."( Trese )

"Hahaha told you, he can't keep it in his pants. Not like it bothers us at this point."

Justine laughed while Trese gave some money, losing the bet that he'll stay away from getting more women. They were already aware and accepted that their lover would have a lot of women and try to leave at least a big impression. 

"Well, how about we punish him tonight~?"

Kie said more proactive than before fywr spending time with them and having more confidence in herself. They nodded and looked at their prey who was chugging a wine bottle stopping for a moment. That night the sound of moaning and pleasure would have been heard if not for the sound proof barrier.
