Chapter 690: Fight with the beautiful demon commander

Chapter 690 - Fight with the beautiful demon commander

Back to a few moments ago.

"R-Really? You guys are really willing to help me?!"

Hearing what Eiji said, Okto was moved and immediately stood in front of her with teary eyes.

"....." Lilith and the others.

They stared at Eiji flatly because as expected of him, he quickly wooed the beautiful girl he had just seen.

Looking at the girl she knew, Ilia pretended to cough. "Ehem! Sister, at least introduce yourself first to my master and the others."

She stood beside Eiji as she said that as if to show that he was her master.

"Ilia? You're right." Okto looked at Ilia with a guilty expression and immediately became polite. The two of them, of course, knew each other because they were both Chapters of the legendary grimoire, Ilias Fragment.

But unlike her, Ilia was the third Chapter of the Ilias Fragment which made her her older sister. This was the first time she had seen her again after all these years and was surprised.

Not because Ilia's appearance was more beautiful than she remembered, but what was with her magic power?

Her magical power was immense and might have surpassed the combination of all the Chapters. She couldn't help but think Eiji who became her master was amazing!

"I'm Okto, the Eighth Chapter of the Ilias Fragment. Ilia and everyone, please forgive my impoliteness and forgive me for summoning the Demon Lord's troops to evaluate your powers."

That's right, the Demon Lord's troops that were previously destroyed by Akio were actually summoned by Okto.

Lilith and the other women were a bit surprised but Eiji? He already knew from the original work so he nodded and said, "That's fine, actually it would be good if you summoned more of those creatures so that my other women have a chance to destroy them."

"Eh? That..." This was the first time Okto had heard such words from someone, she didn't know what to say.

Should she summon more of the Demon Lord's troops with the remaining magic?

As if knowing what her younger sister wanted to do, Ilia hurriedly said to Eiji. "Master, please don't joke. Okto will take your words seriously."

"....." Eiji.

[I'm not joking.]

Even so, there's no need to do that!

Ilia and the other women complained in their hearts.

"By the way, what kind of help do you need from us, Okto-san?" Mira changed the topic of conversation.

But what she said also made the others curious, except for Eiji.

"Ah, it's about my other sisters!" Okto said.

Ilia furrowed her brow. "Our sisters... What happened to them?"

[In the original work, I remember there was this kind of plot.]

Eiji, please hold your spoilers for a moment.

The heroines who were there looked at him as if they wanted to say that. Eiji pretended not to know for the sake of the plot this time!

It was the same as usual.

"My other sisters are sealed inside the Demon Lord's castle and our master, the Witch of Witches has been killed!"

"What?! Who did that?" Ilia's expression became cold because of the sad thing that happened to her sisters.

However, what stunned them was that Okto shifted her gaze to one of them and pointed at her. "There she is! The culprit is the Demon Lord's grimoire!"

Everyone's gaze now turns to a beautiful woman with gray hair and a voluptuous figure.

Eiji looked surprised. "Radix, I didn't expect you..."

Radix's lips twitched, she was certain Eiji wasn't surprised at all. But in this situation, she looked at Okto calmly. "What she said was true, I remember I did it."

"Radix, you really did it? You betrayed us!" Ilia was angry, and the magic inside her surged. If Radix's answer didn't satisfy her, she would probably fight with her.

Radix remained expressionless, she was not afraid of Ilia at all. Although she had to admit that unlike her, Ilia who had become Eiji's woman and accepted the Master-Servant contract was now stronger than her.

[Radix, I didn't expect you... you did the same thing as in the original work.]

Sure enough, Eiji knew.

Still, could he stop pretending to be surprised?

"I didn't betray anyone. It's true that I did it, but that was long before I met Eiji. If we count the days in this world, it was 347 days before now."

Hearing this, Ilia fell silent and was still angry when she saw Radix. She wanted to defeat her but held back because Eiji was greedy for her body.

Eiji rubbed his nose before saying, "You two, enough. Don't we just need to save the other Ilias Fragment Chapters? That's easy. Leave that problem to your man."

Speaking of the other Chapters of the Ilias Fragments, they must be as beautiful as Ilia and Okto. As the Harem King, he had to save them!

"Eiji, you want to save them, right? Not just because it's Okto-san's request and they're Ilia's sisters, right?" Mira looked at her boyfriend suspiciously.

Eiji looked confused. "Mira, I don't understand what you're saying."

Even though he said that, those who knew him well, including Ilia, knew the other motivations behind his actions.

He must be greedy for the other Chapters of the Ilias Fragment because he knows they're as beautiful as Ilia and Okto.

Ilia smiled wryly, but as long as her other sisters were saved, it wasn't impossible for them to serve the same master.

She also had to persuade Okto later.

"Thank you! Um..." Okto didn't know the name of the handsome boy in front of her.

Eiji, of course, introduced himself. "I'm Eiji Seiya, the Harem King."

"Eiji, thank you. Wait, you said you're the Harem King?" Okto thought he'd heard wrong.

"Pfft!" Akio, Liese, and Levi giggled.

"To say that without any shame... Just as expected of Eiji-san!" Selina gave him a thumbs-up.

"This guy must've thrown his sense of shame somewhere." Arsha couldn't help but comment on her boyfriend.

Lilith and the others fell silent, they were numb except for Lugh.

For some reason, she blushed and hugged herself while squirming.

Whatever it was, he was definitely thinking something lewd.

"Yes." Eiji confirmed.

"That means these women..." Okto glanced at the other beautiful women.

"They're all my women."

"Wow! All of them, and even the Trinity Seven? That's amazing!"

Okto was amazed because she thought the boy leading the group containing the Trinity Seven was the Demon Lord Candidate.

But she was wrong, not only could he not sense his power, but he could also make Ilia possess such powerful magic, his identity was the Harem King.

This was the first time she had heard of it, but he and his women might truly be able to save her other sisters.

Except for Eiji and a few other women, their arrival at Dante's Gate had actually been foretold by him 300 days ago. They arrived one day earlier and managed to force open Dante's Gate. This made Okto more optimistic about Eiji and his group.

A short while later.

Okto joined the group and now serves as their guide to the Demon Lord's Castle.

During the journey, she also explained that the interior of the Dante's Gate is divided into nine layers or circles. The Demon Lord's Castle is located in the lowest circle, the ninth circle, and they are currently in the first circle which will lead them to the second circle.

"However, every door leading to another circle is guarded by at least one or two Malebranches."

"Malebranches?" Eiji pretended not to know, so Okto had to explain what Malebranches were to everyone.

[It's definitely not a group of stone statues with the same name in Highschool DxD. I remember some of them were beautiful women.]

"....." The heroines.

Eiji is forgetful but when it comes to beautiful women, he has an extraordinary memory.

"Eiji, you don't know? Malebranche are the Twelve Demon Commanders who serve the True Demon Lord, and their power is extremely strong because they possess the Demon Lord Element from the True Demon Lord."

"Oh, I hope they're that strong."

"Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

Okto couldn't help but disagree with what Eiji said. But that was understandable because, unlike the others, she didn't know how strong they were.

The power Akio had shown earlier was less than 10%.

"Okto-san, ignore Eiji when he says things like that." Right after Lilith said that, the Demon Lord Element with the attribute of darkness appeared under their feet and expanded enough to cover the area around them.

It was a kind of spatial magic that could move some of them to different locations.

In the original work, Eiji remembered that Arata and the Trinity Seven members were separated into several groups due to this magic.

But in this life, Mira was more than enough to cancel the magic that would teleport them.

Nevertheless, Eiji stopped her. "Everyone, don't move. The enemy wants to move us to their respective locations and that's not bad."

[Or more accurately, it will save more time.]

"....!" Hearing what Eiji said, Okto wanted to complain. But the Trinity Seven and the other women complied.

...

After Eiji and the others disappeared to another location within Dante's Gate, only Lilith, Ilia, and Master Liber remained at the previous location.

"Heh, I never expected to be paired with the daughter of the Demon Lord from another world and one of the Chapters of the Ilias Fragment," Master Liber said with an amused expression on her face.

Lilith rolled her eyes and looked around warily. "Liber-san, don't tease us and get ready because the enemy will be here soon."

"I want to say the same thing as Lilith-san." Ilia said.

"Do you mean the woman who flew here? The two of you are more than enough to handle her, I'll just watch the fight from behind."

Master Liber immediately volunteered to be a spectator.

As a Paladin and one of the members of the Heavenly Arbitrators, her casual attitude in this situation was actually understandable.

Ilia felt helpless.

Lilith's lips twitched, but before she could complain, the figure of the woman flying on a broom landed about ten meters in front of them.

She wore a wizard's hat and had a face familiar to Ilia, who was currently a bit startled. "Mother... No, you're someone else using her form and magic. Who are you?"

The woman widened her eyes. "Ohh? Is it that easy for one of the fragments of Ilias to see through my disguise?"

Her current appearance resembled the legendary creator of the grimoire, Fragment Ilias. The witch of witches, Mina Salem.

She had originally intended to deceive Ilia and the others, but she hadn't expected her disguise to be exposed so quickly.

"Not only Ilia, but I can also sense the Demon Lord Element from you. Who are you? Show your true form!" Lilith added as she activated her magic and made several magic cannons fly behind her.

"Since she has the Demon Lord Element, she must be one of the Malebranche members." Master Liber made her guess.

The woman resembling Mina Salem smirked. "The three of you are impressive."

Black wings sprouted from her back, and Demon Lord Element exploded from her body. "I am second in Malebranche, Arbariccia. Lilith Azazel, Ilia and..."

"No need to mention me, I'll just watch." Master Liber waved one of her hands.

"Really? Even so, I'll still kill you after I quickly kill these two girls."

"You can try if you can, Demon."

Master Liber's attitude upset Arbariccia; she felt underestimated.

After killing Lilith and Ilia, she will surely torture the woman and possess her body like she had done to Mira Salem.

...

In the eighth circle, one step away from the lowest level of hell.

Except for the area around the Abandoned Church, the surrounding environment was enveloped in the Demon Lord Element with a darkness attribute.

The owner of that energy was the one who had teleported Eiji and his group to different locations.

At this moment, Eiji was sitting on the sofa and looking at the beautiful woman with black bobbed hair who was wearing a black gothic dress in front of him with disappointment.

"Is the tea not good?" The woman asked kindly.

"No, it's not that... I thought when I was transferred here, I would find myself lying on your lap."

[Protagonist Arata experienced something like that when he was teleported to the eighth circle and after waking up from fainting, he found himself lying on this beautiful woman's lap.]

[Unfortunately, fainting is impossible for me and I forgot to pretend to faint... This is sad.]

The heroines fell silent.

Were those the words of a human?

Oh wait, Eiji wasn't human.

"You want to lie on my lap? Okay, you can try it now."

"Really?"

"Yes. From now on you are mine. You're my type, I've been watching you ever since you forcefully opened Dante's Gate with your words."

The beautiful woman smiled and said something very seductive. With her large breasts, Eiji couldn't help but be tempted by her.

"Waahhh! Wait, aren't we enemies? This situation is wrong!" Selina shouted, worried that Eiji wouldn't reject her.

By the way, she wasn't the only one there, beside her was also Lugh. "Just so you know, this guy already has many women. He has a huge harem!"

She pointed at Eiji.

Selina nodded as if to support Lugh's words.

"Is that so? It's fine, from now on he will be mine alone."

"...!" Selina and Lugh opened their mouths without saying a word. But before they could protest, what surprised them was that Eiji shook his head.

"Rather than being yours, how about you become mine instead? By the way, I'm Eiji Seiya."

The man didn't completely reject her, he was actually greedy for the woman!

Lugh blushed and hugged her body again while squirming.

Selina wondered if he had a certain fetish that made him excited in this kind of situation?

"I'm a member of the Malebranche, Rubine. I want to have you for myself and it seems I'll have to use a little force." Rubine stood up from her seat.

Eiji also stood up and said, "Rubine, how about if you lose, you'll become mine?"

"Hmm... Okay." Rubine then pointed at her own face. "I'm actually the strongest among the 12 Demon Commanders."

Eiji smiled. "Coincidentally, I'm also very strong."

"I'll help you, Eiji-san!"

"Me too, Eiji!"

Even though he could handle it on his own, he accepted the help of the two women.

Selina and Lugh were delighted. They immediately connected to their respective archives and executed their themes.

During the process, which only took a few seconds, Rubine didn't attack and waited patiently.

"Are you finished?"

"Yes, you don't have to hold back."

Eiji didn't perform any preparations like a mage from Trinity Seven.

Rubine, who had been expressionless from the start, now smiled wickedly as a dark aura exploded from her body.

*Boom!*

The Abandoned Church collapsed.

Eiji, Selina, and Lugh had used Shundo to retreat instantly, dozens of meters back.

Rubine was slightly surprised by their movement speed, but she remained confident. Behind her now stood thousands of ghostly figures resembling Grim Reapers, each controlled by threads attached to her fingers.

It was an ancient lost spell.

However, to Eiji, the scene before him reminded him of the episode in Naruto Shippuden where Sakura fought Sasori.

"The funeral begins," Rubine said. One of the three-meter-tall Grim Reapers behind her lunged toward them, swinging its massive scythe.

"Lugh." Like a party leader, Eiji gave the command to the woman he meant.

Lugh understood. She stepped forward and blocked the incoming attack with both of her swords.

*Clang!*

The ground beneath her and the Grim Reaper shattered, but with her strength, she was able to push the creature.

It wasn't over. Lugh activated the power of the Pika Pika no Mi and fused it with her magic. Her figure turned into light, and at Mach 20 speed, she sliced the Grim Reaper in front of her cleanly in two.

Then, she soared through the sky like a twisting beam of light, cutting down hundreds of other Grim Reapers in less than three seconds.

Rubine was stunned, her hands moving frantically to control the remaining Grim Reapers and surround Lugh.

But—

"Selina, stop Rubine's movements for five seconds for me. Can you do that?"

"I'll do my best, Eiji-san. Leave it to me!"

Unlike Lugh, Selina hadn't officially joined Eiji's harem and hadn't received any gifts from him yet.

But stopping a target's movement was her specialty as a user of Logos Arts. She pointed her camera-shaped grimoire at the alluring Rubine and then—click.

Rubine's body was wrapped in a soft blue light shaped like a roll of film, created by Selina's magic, and instantly her movement froze.

'This... Logos Arts?' Rubine recognized the technique. With her power, it was only a matter of time before she could break free.

But by then, her army of Grim Reapers would have been completely destroyed by Lugh.

And Eiji wouldn't just stand by.

"Rubine, this will hurt a little. Do you want to surrender?"

"..."

"I see, you don't want to surrender."

How could I even answer in my current state?

Rubine grumbled inwardly, but even if she could speak, she would've refused to surrender and wanted to see what Eiji would do next.

Eiji extended one of his hands forward, and without any magic circle, a vortex of wind and lightning formed in his palm.

It is one of the protagonist Negi's long-range magic.

"Jupiter's Lightning Storm."

Once the spell name was spoken, a terrifying storm of destructive energy launched toward Rubine.

The magical power contained within the attack made Rubine shudder. She wanted to dodge—or at least form a barrier using her Demon Lord Element.

But it was too late.

*BOOMMM!*

Her figure was swallowed by the storm of energy and blown back for dozens of miles. Instantly, the army of Grim Reapers vanished from the sky and the victor was clear.

...

A/N: Can you guys give me another reward suggestion for Eiji? I'm out of ideas. If possible, it's something useful rather than something OP.
