Chapter 16

Was Nyx attractive?

Of course!

When she smiles, even the sun and moon would be overshadowed by her beauty.

Even her beautiful figure couldn't hide within the dress she wears.

To sum up.

Akira had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life! In fact, even in his two lives, he had never seen a woman like her.

But if one thought that it is great luck to be in a relationship with a beauty like her, one would unfortunately find out how wrong that was.

Who was she?

She was the Primordial Goddess of the Night!

An existence that stands on top of the world!

She once destroyed an entire pantheon of Gods, just because a random Goddess had slandered her. And even with all the Gods in that pantheon coming together to face her, she still eradicated them with just a few moves.

All of a pantheon had been eradicated!

All the gods... dead!

This incident had shaken the entire supernatural.

For this reason, various factions of Supernatural, had gathered to hold a meeting on how to deal with Nyx's actions.

Even the Gods that belonged to the same pantheon as Nyx attended the meeting.

At first they wanted to get together to defeat her, just to show that a Goddess cannot act in an uncontrolled manner, but in the end it was decided that they would just hush this event up... And the reason?

They were afraid of Nyx.

Damn, if she has the courage to kill an entire pantheon just because a Goddess had slandered her, then what would she do if she knew that there were Gods wanting to defeat her?

Since then, the 'Goddess of the Night' has become a taboo for people of the supernatural, some have even forgotten her deeds as she has rarely appeared since.

To fall in love with such a girl, Akira's life was no longer in his own hands, but in Nyx's hands.

The pressure was too great!

At that moment, Akira could say, "Sorry, my confession was not for you, but for the ancestor of the Gremory clan?"

Of course not. This was not only seeking his own death, but also starting a war between her and the underworld.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time..." Akira was pale.

...

"Akira..."

Nyx's face flushed. She looked at Akira who had already stood up and was now looking at her gently.

'My heart won't take it.'

"Since you are a devil, you will live for thousands of years, so if you want us to be together forever, you must be on top."

"You must train hard and never relax."

"I...I will wait for you at the top."

Nyx could no longer bear to feel Akira's gentle gaze, so before he could say anything, she disappeared taking with her the shadows that created this dimension.

Akira was stunned for a moment, but then nodded, "Since I'm a devil I have a long life, so maybe reaching the peak of the world won't take so long."

"But of course, to reach the top of the world I will need to try harder, but with the help of the system, I will definitely make it..." Akira sighed before looking at his surroundings.

He realized that he had returned to Japan.

Shaking his head, he decided to return to the house he had lived in during his time as a human.

What he didn't know, was that in the shadows, a figure reappeared in the place he had just left.

Nyx looked at Akira's back, her eyes seemed moist.

Thinking of Akira's statement, her cheeks grew warm.

"So... Is that how it feels when you like someone?"

...

Akira returned to his home.

Looking around, he realized that things had remained the same since he had left with Nyx as a child.

He remembered that at that time he had gone through what they called the 'Awakening Ceremony'.

In reality, he would not awaken any kind of power or anything like that, it was just a test to find out about his talent and aptitude.

At that time, he discovered that his talent was indeed a Low Grade Talent.

Initially he thought that the system would classify him as a Low Grade Talent, but in the world of DxD, he would be considered a great talent, unfortunately the reality was harsh.

Once Nyx learned about his Low Grade Talent, she never met him again. This was something he had expected, after all how could a Goddess like her want to deal with someone with no talent like him.

Fortunately, after he failed in his mission to die under Rias' hands, he obtained a High Grade Talent, otherwise he wouldn't have known what to do.

Scattering his thoughts about the past, Akira felt a chill run down his spine.

He remembered his confession to Nyx.

"Although things didn't turn out the way I would have liked, the results were still good. Not only did I manage to complete the system mission, but I even gained an increment in my strength. In addition there is also a divine chest."

Akira focused his attention on the system. A divine chest appeared in front of him. This chest was one of the rewards for accomplishing the mission this time.

[Do you wish to open the Divine Chest?]

"Yes." Akira rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

The lid of the divine chest was slowly opened and a bright golden light shone in front of his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'True Longinus'!]

Akira's mind stopped working the moment he heard the name of the reward he had received.

The True Longinus, also known as the Spear of Destiny. It is the first and most powerful Longinus, this was the spear used to pierce Jesus Christ.

This spear was originally supposed to be wielded by Cao Cao, the leader of the heroes' faction.

But now, it was in the hands of Akira, a devil!

"Damn, this unreliable system, how do you expect me to wield that damn spear when I'm a devil?"

Akira cursed the system, hoping it would give him an answer. After all, that spear could decimate him the moment he touched it, luckily it seemed the system had an inventory to store it otherwise he would probably be dead right now.

As if listening to Akira's complaints, the cold voice of the system sounded.

[Host wants to turn 'True Longinus' into his Sacred Gear?]

The message from the system, made Akira become excited.

He a devil, could turn True Longinus into his Sacred Gear.

Despite knowing that his system was unreliable, he still decided to risk making True Longinus his Sacred Gear.

First, because he would further change the plot of this world, which would grant him many plot points, and second because he didn't care about Cao Cao.

"Yes, turn True Longinus into my Sacred Gear!"

Akira could not hide his excitement, we are talking about the 'True Longinus', with this spear he would no longer need to fear any being.

"Arrgh!"

At that moment, a sacred aura surrounded Akira's body, slowly destroying him. It was as if the sacred aura could not merge with his devil energy.

"F**K SYSTEM! I HATE YOU!"

Those were Akira's last words, before he lost consciousness.

What he didn't know, was that the sacred aura wasn't just destroying his body, in fact, this aura was slowly rebuilding his body, so that he could carry the True Longinus.

In the distant future, people would remember that this was the day the 'Holy Devil' was born!
