[203] Dialogue with Ddraig!

The sudden emergence of powerful magic within the Kuoh Academy immediately caught the attention of many in the Kuoh Town.

"Such unfamiliar magic, and it's coming from the direction of Kuoh Academy?"

Rias, looking towards the direction of Kuoh Academy, had a face full of surprise.

"This magical power is strange, I have no impression of it. I wonder who it is."

Sona, after sensing this magical power, was equally astonished.

Not only them, but also stray devils, hidden fallen angels, some human exorcists, and mages, all keenly sensed this magical power.

Back at August's house, August, who was waiting for Tsubaki to come and start a cosplay show, chuckled upon sensing this magical power.

Because he recognized this magical power, it belonged to August's magic power.

"Yolda, let's go to Kuoh Academy."

"Yes, My lord."

Yolda, an interdimensional demon with teleportation abilities, directly summoned a dimensional rift.

On the other side of the dimensional rift was Kuoh Academy, where August wanted to go.

As for how she determined the direction, for an interdimensional demon, as long as it wasn't an extremely long-distance teleportation, they could freely travel. Besides, the distance from here to Kuoh Academy was not much.

August naturally walked straight into the dimensional rift, followed closely by Yolda and Hilda.

After all three entered, the dimensional rift slowly closed, as if it had never appeared.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"Die! Die! Die!"

In the corridor of the experimental building, a crazed Issei continuously beat the person in front of him.

His once handsome face was now blurred with blood and flesh, and there were shattered fragments of a camera on the side.

At this moment, the person being attacked was on the verge of death, gasping for breath.

However, Issei did not stop because of this. He continued to relentlessly strike the person's face. His hand armor and fists were already stained red with blood, and his eyes had turned emerald green.

"Hmm? Is he going berserk?"

Emerging from the dimensional rift, August, observing Issei beating someone not far away, was momentarily stunned.

This guy is filled with dense magic, and his life force is rapidly declining. His eyes emit green light, and his body is filled with draconic energy.

He's essentially being controlled by an sacred gear, turning into a beast driven only by the last bit of determination.

"Hmm? Bastard, I'll kill you."

Suddenly, upon seeing August, Issei abandoned the unlucky guy he had beaten to death and rushed towards August with a crazed look.

Bang~

However, Issei's attack was too weak for August, easily blocked by him.

"My lord, be careful."

"Scum, how dare you be disrespectful to My lord"

Hilda and Yolda were furious seeing Issei daring to attack August.

However, just as they were about to deal with this insolent human, August raised his hand to stop them.

"Issei, is this all you've got? You're really weak."

"I'll kill you, I will definitely kill you."

[Boost!]

At this moment, Issei's mind was filled with only one thought, to kill August.

Responding to his conviction, the gauntlet on his arm suddenly let out a roar, further enhancing Issei's strength.

However, correspondingly, his already rapidly depleting life force doubled once again.

If one were to pay attention, Issei's hair had started turning white, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

As a Longinus-type Sacred Gear, the power was undoubtedly formidable, but if one couldn't control it and was controlled by the sacred gear, it would eventually consume all of one's life, leading to madness and death.

Most of the previous host met their end this way.

"I'll kill you."

Issei launched another attack, this time twice as fast as the previous one.

August raised an eyebrow, the boosted gear was indeed terrifying with its doubled power.

Splurt~

However, no matter how much he multiplied, Issei, originally at level 1, still couldn't break through two digits in strength. He remained like an ant.

A shadow blade rose from the ground, directly severing Issei's legs.

"Ah~!!!"

A wail echoed throughout the entire experimental building. In the corner, Motohama and Matsuda huddled together in fear, witnessing their friend transform into a monster, only to be defeated by even more formidable beings.

[Such powerful magic, and this magic filled with the scent of the abyss, there's no mistaking this is the power of darkness from the demon clan.]

"Oh? Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig, you've already awakened."

[You, a demon brat, awakened me during the day because of your resentment and anger at your classmates for dying without help. However, encountering you, he was rather unfortunate.]

"That's not accurate. Meeting me isn't unfortunate, it's his own fault for acting recklessly, leading to such a situation."

[I don't disagree. Ants challenging a giant dragon, if it were me, I'd be even more ruthless than you.]

"Judging by your tone, you seem indifferent to the life or death of your host?"

[The life or death of the host? Over the years, I've had countless hosts. But for this guy to be so trashy, he's the first.]

"Is that so?"

August laughed. In the original story, Ddraig indeed looked down on Issei initially.

However, later on, even he had to admit that this guy was a freak. He was the first to choose a path other than tyranny and succeeded.

But now, everything was impossible. Since they had become enemies, August wouldn't let him off.

If he hadn't awakened the sacred gear, August had planned to torture him for another two days. However, now that he had awakened the sacred gear, August was determined to eradicate him.

Even though his life force had been depleted by more than half at this point, it didn't mean he was doomed.

As the protagonist, facing life-threatening situations only to make a triumphant comeback was commonplace. Leaving aside other matters, given his current situation, as long he became a reincarnated devil, there would be no problems.

And he happened to possess a Boosted Gear, there were undoubtedly many demons willing to accept him as a reincarnation devil.

"Ddraig, since your host is so useless, how about becoming my partner? I'll take you to experience the true heights of this world."

[Indeed, you are really a demon from that clan. You're really confident.]

"So, what's your answer, Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig?"

August gazed at the red gauntlet on Issei's arm, or more precisely, the green gem on it.
