Blitzkrieg (DxD AU Vali SI) CH4
…
-Vali Lucifer-
I walked towards the dining hall, this time at a relaxed pace. Wonder what he wants?
When I was doing my physical conditioning (just basic exercises with running and some weight lifting), Euclid had interrupted and told me that my grandfather, Rizveim, was requesting my presence in the Throne Room.
Yes there was a Throne room, don't question it.
It was a phrase that I had learnt by living with Rizveim for the last six months. Because he did absurd things and nobody batted an eye.
One time he burned a man alive to show me how enjoyable the screams are.
Now I wasn't a good person but even I wasn't so heartless that I would enjoy watching a man (who had done me no wrong) be burned alive for no reason.
It also affirmed in my mind that despite, them looking like Human they were not human. As he said, they are Devils! They were born to do Evil!
Especially the Old Satan Faction.
He even gave a whole monologue about how no matter how much a tiger tried to live only on plants he would eventually succumb to its nature as a carnivore.
But besides Rizveim's attempts to "turn me to the dark side" my time here has been enjoyable and satisfactory.
I was even thinking of visiting Earth now that the gains had slowed down. I frowned as I remembered that tidbit. I had also been unable to find the Teleportation Circle in the Library so the only way I could go to Earth was with an escort. I was pretty certain that that was intentional.
These past months had been very beneficial to me, as I had finally achieved peak of High Class. And with the addition of Evil Light, I was firmly a low Ultimate Class combatant. But now my progress was slowing down as there weren't many stronger monsters nearby.
The stronger monsters lived deeper in the Badlands and to go deeper I required Rizveim's permission, which he hadn't given yet.
So I was stuck for now.
I knew that my progress would slow down eventually but I still didn't like it. This is where having a Sacred Gear made a difference as a Sacred Gear's progress didn't slow down as long as its user fought and used them.
Maybe that's why he's calling for me? I tilted my head in realization. A few weeks ago I had requested a Sacred Gear Extractor from him and he had told me he would get me one. But I hadn't heard a peep from him since.
It was honestly a little disturbing as I had come to find that a silent Rizveim was a dangerous Rizveim.
But I had decided to leave it, it wasn't like I could force him to give it to me faster. He was much, much stronger than me.
So I had bided my time training my magic control, learning new spells and training my body.
Which for some reason is looked down upon by Old Satan Devil's. I shook my head. I will never understand why they give themselves such a handicap. A strong physical body while not translated to better magic, it does keep your mind healthy.
But to be honest, the Old Satan Devil's were the type of people who believed that there was no such thing as mental health.
Finally, I arrived at the Throne Room and after politely knocking, I was ushered inside.
Walking up to the sitting royal visage of the grinning Rizveim Livian Lucifer, I knelt and bowed my head. "Grandfather."
These formalities were very important (according to Euclid) because we weren't alone here. Standing some feet away from me was a glasses wearing, tanned skin woman with brown hair that was arranged in a neat bun wearing a teacher-like getup that didn't leave much to imagination. But her most iconic feature was-
Boing. Boing.
-the tits the size of her head that bounced enticingly with her every movement. This person could be nobody else but Leviathan's "last" true heir. Katerea Leviathan. A "co-leader" of the Old Satan Faction.
Honestly, I wasn't a very horny person (I really wasn't!). But if I had the chance I would fuck her brains out. What man wouldn't?
Fun fact, Devil's are natural shapeshifters but the transformation they want takes gradual time depending on the change and it is not easy as just "thinking about it". You have to change your whole inner mental image only then the changes would begin to appear physically. The time the change takes depends on various things. Power of the Devil, how big a change is, etc.
And there were some changes that were impossible. Like changing your body into something inorganic and the changes happening could only be on the outside. And a stronger Devil's change would always be "better" than a weaker Devil's. For some unknown reason, Lucifer Clan's Silver hair and Gremory Clan's Crimson hair also couldn't be copied.
Naturally this means that I was much taller than 6 months ago, as my older personality influenced my time as Vali. I had started to regain my tall and strong physique. Thankfully, my face was still Vali's but much more handsome than before.
In summary, now I looked like a 12 year old rather than the 10 year old I was.
Something else was also much bigger~ I smirked inwardly. Did you know that Devil's don't have puberty? Yeah they were born ready to breed so naturally I had given myself a much bigger "tool".
Though I hadn't gotten around to using it yet.
Ahem! Ignoring that! My point was that every devil looked exactly what they wanted to and after looking through some of the portraits of old Devils, Katerea Leviathan would belong in the upper tier of beauty.
Still, she couldn't compare to the looks of my mother, her own ancestor and of course Lilith.
I shook my head of these thoughts and focused back on the conversation happening in front of me. "-See Leviathan! I told you my grandson was just the cutest and evilest child ever!" Rizveim said, showing the album of my photos where I was bloody and sitting on the corpse of a huge Earth Dragon.
I blushed in embarrassment. "Grandfather!" I hadn't seen it when Euclid took a picture but it was very embarrassing.
The woman sneered and my attraction to her died an ugly death. "But he's still just a half-breed." The hall was instantly engulfed in suffocating silence.
Even the most beautiful of face's can have the ugliest of personalities.
I was glaring at her. The only thing stopping me from trying my luck in beating her was Rizveim's cold face. "So what?" He said, shocking me to the core with his one sentence.
Is he really defending me!? Did I make that much of an impression on him!? Rizveim Lucifer was supposed to be a cold-hearted person that was bored for a long, long time.
There was a reason he was so obsessed with causing chaos in canon. Because that was the only time he had at least some level of entertainment.
A Devil's long life is a curse. That was a fact. Out of the surviving Old Devils (the one's alive from the time of Lucifer) only Zekram Bael still bothered to involve himself in society. And it showed in how he viewed himself, looking like an old man.
Compared to him, Rizveim looked barely in his late 30's. Razevan had looked barely in his 20's.
But I still shook my head internally. All of this can be a ploy to make me look at him in a better view. To make me trust him.
Rizveim Lucifer was a master manipulator after all.
But what if?...
The woman's eyebrow climbs as does her voice. "'So what?' he represents everything our faction despises!"
"That's why I've called you here today." He responds, his voice ice cold but has a flicker of warmth. "Today my precious grandson will start walking on the path of Villainy! He would prove to me, to you, and to everyone else that without a shadow of doubt that he truly is the great-grandson of Lucifer!" He announces grinning madly brightly at us, his mood turning 180° in a blink.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
The busty brunette cocked one eyebrow, looking back at me appraisingly. "And how would he do that?"
Rizveim nods happily. "By slaughtering 13 Towns of course! It is what is expected from a Lucifer! My father made me go through with this and now it is time he goes through this."
There it is! While I showed a stoic face on the outside, inside I was grim.
I understand exactly what he was doing, if I did as he ordered my position in the faction would rise drastically. But on the other hand, it would close almost every other door for me and I would be stuck with the Old Satan Faction forever.
I didn't know if what he was saying was really a tradition or not. At least I hadn't read anything about it in the Library.
But what choice do I have? I was grim. I was being ordered to slaughter every man, woman and child in 13 Towns. All of whom hadn't done anything to me to warrant this.
This would be Evil.
"-and when he returns I will give him the gift and something more that he had requested of me before!" He grinned roguishly at me. "So what do you say Grandson?"
This bastard! I gritted my teeth internally. He had won this round. He had effectively cut off any other point of escape for me.
I would either die, or I would have to play to his tunes. At least for now.
I stoically looked up at him, and nodded. "You will not be disappointed Grandfather."
He nodded happily. "Of course your gift also depends on your performance! So don't just blow up the whole town at once okay? You should savor the moment! Kill them one by one!"
My eyes twitched. "Of course."
"But why am I here?" Katerea asks, interrupting our 'moment'.
Rizveim sneers at her. "Are you that daft? You will be there, as will Euclid, to act as a witness for the rest of the Faction." Also in case I decide to run away. Was left unsaid.
Katerea grits her teeth but nods reluctantly. Rizveim was the most powerful person in the Faction while she was the fourth most powerful being in the upper tiers of Ultimate class. His orders could obviously not be disobeyed unless you wanted to be killed.
"Now! Chop chop!" He waves. "The sooner you complete the task the sooner you'll get your reward Vali-kun!" Euclid walks behind me.
"Can I atleast have a shower before?" I ask. "I was just done with my exercise."
Rizveim's frowns in displeasure (I smirked internally) but he nods. "Of course."
I bow. "I'll be quick." And exit the room with Euclid tailing me.
It seems he's not taking any chances. I side-eyed the silver haired man following me.
Sigh.
Rizveim really put me in a tough spot. I grit my teeth. But what did I expect? My life here was always going to be hard and this day would've come sooner or later.
Right now, I either have the option to run away and try my luck in the Badlands while also ruining my chance of gaining a Sacred Gear, or just go along for now and slaughter a bunch of innocent people sacrificing my morality in the process…
It seems my choice has been made for me. I thought grimly. Because I pursued power above all else, even my own morality.
This was a dog eat dog world. I gulped. And it just so happens that I've been forced into the fighting ring.
It was time for any chance of goodness that I had to die a sad death along with the innocents I was about to slaughter…

You know, having written this story almost a year ago i had forgotten why exactly i wrote this but i just remembered yesterday that this was my answer to a power fantasy in DxD. Also apparently after looking thorugh my old plans for this i have learned that I had planned a sex scene between Shota!Vali and Katarea... Nothing long term, just kind of like a one night stand...
If you guys still want that then maybe i will write that (though for that i would have to write atleast 2 chapters in between where i left off)
