Chapter : 15 Fight the Inner fear!

In the dimly lit room, a table was strewn with an assortment of papers, casting shadows that danced across the worn wooden surface. Seated in a chair, a man sifted through the documents with a furrowed brow, his focus consumed by the information before him. A discreet knock echoed through the room, prompting the man to look up.

"Come in," he uttered, his voice a low, commanding tone that resonated in the confined space.

The door creaked open, revealing a figure silhouetted against the muted light. A familiar silver haired lady entered, clad in a blue white french maid outfit that accentuated an air of formality. "Maou-sama, I have some important information to address to you," Grafia announced with a sense of urgency.

The man carefully removed the papers from his immediate vicinity, revealing a striking figure with crimson hair cascading down to his shoulders. His age was ambiguous, appearing as a handsome young man in his 20s. His eyes, a mesmerizing blend of blue and green, held a depth that hinted at experiences beyond his years.

"Important information, is it about our date?" The man teased with a playful glint in his eyes.

"Maou-sama, it's work hours, so please focus on the matter at hand," Grafia replied, her tone firm, deflecting his attempt at lightening the atmosphere.

"Is it more important than your date with your husband?" he teased again, but sensing Grafia's rising fury, he quickly shifted his tone. "Alright, what is this crucial information you have?"

"It's about a kid I encountered yesterday when I was out with Rias and Riser," Grafia began, recounting the events near the flower vendor where Riser found himself in a scuffle with an unknown kid.

"Anything special about this kid?" the man inquired.

"He was clearly at the ultimate class level, judging by the demonic energy he released," Grafia explained.

"How old was he?" he asked.

"Probably the same age as Rias," Grafia responded.

"Ultimate class at such a young age... shouldn't he be known as a genius and recognized in the underworld?" the man mused.

"I tried to find information about him, but there was nothing," Grafia admitted.

"If you can't find information, it means he didn't want anyone to find it. Leave it be; when the time comes, we'll know who this kid is," the man decided, then added with a sly smile, "By the way, you didn't answer me about our date."

Grafia, fuming with anger, prompted a quick retreat, "We can talk about that later, hehe." As he said Grafia leaved the room.

While In the quiet expanse of the Alistair mansion, Vali roused himself from slumber. "Albion, it's time for training," he declared with a sense of determination, his commitment to honing his skills evident in his morning routine.

Before immersing himself in rigorous training, Vali took a moment to partake in breakfast.

Meanwhile, his mother remained in the mansion, unaware that they were in the underworld. who still believed they resided in Japan, Vali's grandfather had artfully deceived her, maintaining the illusion that their residence was a mere extension of a house in Japan and brought her here for treatment.

After breakfast, Vali retreated to his room to pack essentials. "Let's check," he muttered, surveying the items he'd take for his training journey. "10 packs of instant ramen, some chips, and chocolates—all set," he declared, ready to depart.

"Meow...meow..."

"You're still here. I thought you might have left," Vali remarked, glancing at the small black cat he rescued from the monster forest. "Well, I'm leaving, so enjoy it here," he said before vanishing in a magic circle.

Appearing in a barren land with towering mountains, Vali dropped his bag. Summoning his Draconic wings, he soared into the sky. "Nobody will find me here," he declared, activating his Balance Breaker.

BALANCE BREAKER.

Vali adorned a white dragon armor pulsating with ethereal blue runes. Albion cautioned, "Vali, Juggernaut Drive won't be as easy as the Balance Breaker. Now follow my words."

As Vali, surrounded by an ethereal blue aura, prepared to unleash his power, Albion guided him.

I, WHO AM ABOUT TO AWAKEN

I, who am about to awaken," Vali intoned, each sentence enveloping the armor in an even dense ethereal blue aura. "Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God. I envy the 'infinite,' and I pursue the 'dream.' I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy, and I shall take you to the limits of the white paradise."

The chant echoed, resonating with the magical essence of the moment, as Vali embraced the power of his Juggernaut Drive.

As Vali slowly opened his eyes, he found himself engulfed in an abyss of darkness. The shadows seemed to dance around him, orchestrating a surreal scene from his past. His mother was in the kitchen, the aroma of cooking food filling the air. Suddenly, a doorbell rang, and as she opened the door, a towering man with dark silver hair stood before her.

"Mom, run!" Vali's desperate shout echoed, but with each step he took toward her, the distance seemed to expand, the scene crumbling away. Darkness enveloped him once more, his calls for his mother echoing in the void.

"Kill him... don't you want revenge?" a sinister voice whispered, urging Vali to unleash a torrent of violence. "Burn life force and drown the enemy in blood," it insidiously coaxed, as Vali descended into weightless free fall, the voice taunting him with every passing moment. "Kill him... show him... f*uck him... doggystyle.."

With a gasp, Vali regained control, collecting his breath amidst the torment. "Dammit, get out of my brain," he growled furiously, unleashing his demonic energy. The surroundings shattered, transforming the oppressive darkness into blinding white light, leaving Vali sprawled on the ground.
