Capítulo 220: Chapter 220
Vali came back a bit later with a look of irritation. To our surprise, he actually had found a large cave in the countryside that had lingering traces of Ddraig's energy, according to Albion at least. Sadly, Mephisto was proven correct and the cave had long since been completely looted bare.
As for the potential time traveler, Mephisto Pheles finished explaining the situation to me. He then had to leave claiming he had other urgent business to take care of. Mephisto asked me to keep the information on the time traveler on the down-low though, due to the area the temporal magics originated in.
Kuoh Town, Japan… Of course it came from there of all places!
"ICE SPIKE!" Asia shouted the spell and a large icicle launched forwards from her palm at high speeds. It tore right through a straw training dummy that I had created for the two girls. If that was a regular person, they would be very dead after getting hit by her Ice Spike.
"I did it!" Asia cheered in excitement and started jumping up and down.
"Good job, Asia!" I praised her. She had learned that spell fast! I'm glad she finally had a small way to protect herself.
"Yeah…good job…" Heather muttered dejectedly. She was a bit jealous that Asia had mastered the spell even faster than she had and with a lot more ease. Asia had mastered the icicle spell in only thirty minutes.
The reason for that was because Asia was NOT bad at math. Not at all! She didn't have tv or internet, all those years locked away in the church, but she did have textbooks. Lots of textbooks! Apparently, she had read through all of them multiple times and studied them thoroughly. Her dream was to be a doctor without using magic or her Sacred Gear, and I could safely say that was a real possibility with her current education. She wasn't bad at math…she only thought she was because the last few textbooks she had tried to learn were advanced quantum physics books and she was struggling with them trying to teach herself…
"Can we go now… It's boring here with nothing to do." Vali whined at us.
"You're the one who followed us after not being invited!" Heather snapped back at him.
Vali scoffed at her. "I just wanted to fight Layla. Now I'm more interested in this time traveler though. I wonder if they're strong. If they attack the two Devil princesses in Kuoh, will a Maou show up? I wouldn't mind fighting Serafall Leviathan or Sirzechs Lucifer." He said the last name with clear derision.
Two pairs of futuristic looking wings sprung forth from his back. "Don't be so Gung-Ho about fighting either of those two. One of my past wielders was slain by the hand of Sirzechs. Even my Juggernaut Drive couldn't match his True Form." The voice of Albion echoed in warning.
I was intrigued to hear that. I wasn't sure how much a True Form added to a Devil's power. For the Greek Gods, their True Divine Forms boosted them by 10 Levels. Did the Devil's get an even higher boost?
[Too bad for you, only the DxD Archangels have true forms. You could theoretically develop your own though. You could put your Faith Energy to use developing one. You'd need a lot more followers though...]
That was something to think about. It would be a cool way to power up without burning through MP at least. Mana Burst was awesome, but it was a risky gamble when I used it sometimes.
With everyone ready to go, I opened a portal to Kuoh Town.
"Well, the city isn't on fire at least. That's a good sign that whoever time traveled here is at least not insane."
Heather laughed. "When have you ever even been to a city that was on fire?" She asked me.
"Asgard was on fire the first time I visited." I replied to her.
Heather sputtered at me. Oh right, I hadn't told her that story because it ended with me and Hela in the sack for the first time…
"I sense the presence of my rival in this town. What a coincidence." Albion's voice echoed from the wings on Vali's back.
"Is Ddriag awake?" I asked him. Had canon already started here and Issei was a Devil?
"Hmmm. I cannot tell. The power I'm feeling is too weak. Whoever his host is, they have a pitiful amount of magic inside of them." Albion said.
Vali was initially looking excited to fight his fated rival, but he frowned when he heard how weak Issei was currently. "Cheh…what a let down." He spat out.
First thing first, I told everyone that we needed to find a place to stay in town for the next few days before we started investigating. The sun was already setting here due to the difference in time zones.
Good thing for us, Vali had been given a Black Card by Azazel that we could use to get a few hotel rooms for the next few days. I shamelessly guilt tripped him into paying for us all because he left Heather alone with Mephisto earlier. Nothing untowards happened of course, but it was the principal of the matter.
Tomorrow, I will start searching the town for the potential time traveler.
[And search for some cute Devil girls to flirt with while you're at it?]
Possibly that too…
