DXD: LORD NETORI

Ken is currently seen traveling with Ophis in a special dimension created by himself.

The environment here did not look much different when compared to the Dimensional Gap.

Although the appearance is not much different, what makes the dimension created by Ken look special is its size which is much wider and more complicated when compared to the Dimensional Gap.

This dimension was inside a ring that Ken wore on his index finger.

It could now be seen that Ophis had returned to her previous 'little girl' appearance.

Although Ken knew that Ophis could freely change her appearance back at will, he was still curious as to why Ophis had returned to her 'Loli' form.

In the end, Ken shook his head and discarded those unimportant thoughts.

On the other hand, Ophis was amazed by the Dimension created by Ken.

Ophis himself could feel that this Dimension was much more complicated when compared to the Dimensional Rift.

Ophis could hardly even feel the difference if it wasn't for the fact that the Dimension created by Ken was wider and much more complex.

Nonetheless, Ophis felt very happy and very grateful to Ken in his heart.

Ophis then glanced at Ken beside him who was flying, before straightening his gaze back to the front.

...

Ken then focused on telling Ophis how to come in and out of this Dimensional Ring.

Within ten minutes, Ophis had mastered it.

Ken also told Ophis that everything here was his from now on.

And lastly, Ken also gave Ophis a book that contained how to organize and change this dimension according to his wishes.

"Since you already know how to come and go from this dimension, then I will let you get used to this place first." Ken said.

"Where are you going?" Ophis closed the book and asked Ken.

Seeing the strange glint in Ophis' eyes, Ken knew that it was a hint of emotion that portrayed reluctance.

"I still have other business to take care of. Besides, this Dimension is still inside a ring that I'm wearing, so it's not like I left and never came back, right?" Ken said.

Hearing Ken's words, Ophis nodded his head.

Ken then took out a Vending Machine that contained unlimited cookies and juice.

Since Ophis loved cookies and juice, Ken thought that this vending machine would be very useful for her.

Besides, if this trivial vending machine could take the development of his relationship with Ophis one step forward, why not?

"Look at this, you just need to press this green button when you want cookies or juice, got it?" Ken said.

Ophis then inspected the vending machine and saw the words "Unlimited Cookies and Juice" on the glass and a green button.

"It doesn't matter if you want cookies or juice, just press the button and this machine will give you what you want." Ken said.

"Hehe~ this machine is very advanced, so you better take good care of it." Ken added.

"Hmm... Un, I understand." Ophis nodded her head.

After that, Ken then said goodbye and went out leaving Ophis inside.

...

Not wasting any more time, after Ken came out from inside his Ring and appeared in the Dimension Gap again, Ken immediately teleported away from there.

Ken's arrival and departure looked seamless, but someone noticed him from a distance.

No- it wouldn't be right to say "someone", but rather a Great Red Dragon.

This big Red Dragon was The Great Red, or what Ophis called Baka-Red.

The Great Red was a large red Western Dragon with horns on its snout and two pairs of wings.

Its overall length measures about 100 meters.

Great Red, also known as the Dragon of the Apocalypse, Emperor of the True Red Dragon God, True Dragon, and Dragon of Dragons, is a powerful Dragon that resides in the Dimensional Rift.

Similar to Ophis, Great Red was born in the Dimensional Rift from an "illusion" "dream".

Not much is known other than the fact that he immediately took refuge there after Ophis left, becoming a stumbling block that defended the space.

Meanwhile, for his Power and Ability:

Dream Manipulation: As the God of Dreams, Great Red symbolizes dreams in the past, present, and future.

Immense Strength: As a Dragon God, Great Red possesses immense strength, making him the most powerful of all dragon types alongside Ophis. His strength surpasses even the Two Celestial Dragons (Albion and Ddraig), Gods of various classes such as the God of the Bible, Supreme Class Demons and former Dragon Kings.

Immense Durability: Like Ophis, as an existence from a dream, it can be assumed that Great Red is almost invulnerable. This is further proven as Ophis himself did not face Great Red himself after Great Red took refuge in the Dimensional Rift.

Body Creation: Great Red can create biological bodies, which are in perfect condition for others to inhabit.

All in all, Great Red is the only being that can rival Ophis, Ouroboros Dragon, become equal or superior to Trihexa after becoming serious, and a clash between them would destroy the world.

As for who or what Trihexa is, that is another story.

For now... let's focus back into the story.

...

*In the Dimensional Rift.

When Great Red saw that Ken was gone, he appeared in a way that seemed to split the Dimension around him.

Great Red then stopped at the place where Ken had been standing and examined the surroundings.

"Strange... isn't he just an Ordinary Human?" Great Red spoke to himself.

Just like Ophis, Great Red was currently feeling confused about why a mere Human could survive inside the Dimensional Rift.

According to his knowledge, Ken should have died after just a few seconds of being here.

However...

"I don't feel any magic on his body..."

"If that man did have a tool or artifact that helped him, I could at least feel the power or magic coming from it..."

"But this..."

"This human is very strange!"

"Who is he?"

Great Red was left alone there with many questions popping up inside his head.

Great Red maneuvered his body to get out of there, but...

Suddenly-

Swooshh!

An ordinary wooden sword that appeared out of nowhere shot towards him very quickly.

"Humph!" Great Red snorted coldly when he saw the wooden sword coming towards him.

Although he felt a little surprised towards this wooden sword that appeared out of nowhere, but Great Red quickly regained his composure after seeing that it was just a very ordinary-looking wooden sword.

'Only this old sword? How can I be surprised?! See how it will shatter after hitting my scales.' Great Red thought.

But...

Just when the wooden sword was inches away from the horns on its muzzle, it suddenly stopped.

Great Red was confused for a moment before almost in an instant, his life flashed before him and played out like a Cinema.

The images from the moment Great Red was born in the Dimensional Rift to the moment the wooden sword killed him were played, like someone's last moment before death.

Moments later, the wooden sword returned, as if reversing by going backwards, before finally disappearing.

It was only at this moment that Great Red regained consciousness and felt a cold sensation all over his enormous body.

The scales on his body stood upright and his body then shuddered with horror that could be seen from the glints that flashed within his eyes.

If a Dragon could be seen sweating, right now Great Red was probably bathed in cold sweat.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Great Red could not help but tremble with pure terror in her heart.

No one knew why Great Red was frightened like that, but one thing was certain...

What Great Red saw earlier, while witnessing her own death, was the worst thing she had ever seen in her entire life.

And, "what was his death like?"

Only Great Red knows.

Ken could be seen walking and was almost at his destination.

Until...

Swooshh~

A wooden sword flew towards him and changed back to a small size, until it finally dangled and became part of his necklace.

"Good job, I hope you didn't scare her too much." Ken said as he touched the black wooden sword hanging from his necklace.

The wooden sword then flickered with a faint light to give a response to its creator.

"Hm? oh, why would I do that? it's just to warn him that there is something better left unknown."

"Sometimes a question is better off having no answer at all in the first place."

"See, those humans can live peacefully not knowing that Gods, Yokai, Demons, Angels, Fallen Angels, and Dragons exist."

"In short, most of them do not believe or even want to believe the Supernatural World and Supernatural Beings exist."

"Therefore, this is enough to make them become ignorant beings and just live in the dark even though events that cannot be explained by scientists are right in front of them."

"If they haven't gotten the answers to the 'strange things' around them, I'll bet they'll always say that their technology hasn't advanced enough to find those strange things."

Ken seemed to be babbling on in a low voice, until a familiar voice called out to him.

"Ken!"

"Oh? Akeno?" Ken turned around and said.

There were Rias, Akeno and Koneko wearing Kuoh Academy school uniforms.

They looked like they were monitoring or following someone from afar.

'Looks like they're watching Issei and Amano Yuuma, huh...'

Ken thought.

Knowing this, Ken then looked into the distance and immediately found Issei's location.

"What are you doing here?" Rias asked.

"To meet you, of course." Ken replied and pulled

Rias' waist using his arm.

Ken immediately hugged Rias and sniffed her fragrant hair.

Because of this action, Rias felt Ken's hot breath on her neck which made her exhale warm breath from her mouth before hugging him back.

"Ara~ how brave young people are these days in broad daylight like this~"

A middle-aged woman passing by spoke, after seeing Ken and Rias hugging openly in a public place.

Rias who heard the middle-aged woman's words became red in the face and broke her embrace with Ken.

"Ufufu~ as expected of Rias, how brave~" Akeno spoke and teased Rias.

"Ahem! okay, Akeno, that's it. why don't you tell her about the current situation." Rias cleared her throat and said to Akeno.

With that, Akeno then stopped playing around and told her about their current status.

As Ken had guessed earlier, indeed, the three of them were monitoring Issei and Amano Yuuma who were going on a date right now.

Akeno also told Ken details such as the real identity of Amano Yuuma and other information that they knew so far.

Even though Ken already knew all this, Ken still appreciated them sharing information like this.

"I see, let me summarize." Ken nodded and said, after listening to Akeno's explanation.

"So, that girl named Amano Yuuma is actually a Fallen Angel, not a Human, who has successfully tricked Issei into dating her, but her real goal is most likely to kill Issei, right?"

Ken finished his words and looked at Akeno who nodded her head in confirmation.

"Yeah, that's more or less all we know so far." Akeno said.

Although Ken already knew the reason about why the girl wanted to kill Issei, but in the end Ken still asked Akeno.

"And the reason? Do you have any information about the girl's reason for wanting to kill him?" Ken asked.

However, this time it wasn't Akeno who answered him, but...

"Sacred Gear..." Rias was the one who answered him.

"Eh?" Akeno was confused.

In the beginning, Rias had indeed discussed this matter with Akeno, but since Rias herself wasn't sure and it was just a guess, Rias put it aside and in the end the two of them didn't think too much about it.

But now Rias brought it up again, which confused Akeno.

"But Buchou-" Akeno didn't have time to finish her sentence when Ken's voice rang out.

"70 points." Ken said.

"""Huh?""" Rias, Akeno and Koneko became confused.

"You've done well so far, but in the end you became unsure, which reduces my judgment of you, Rias." Ken said.

Seeing that the three of them still didn't understand his words, Ken then decided to explain it to them.

"Listen to this carefully. if you're betting, don't make a bet just because you have a feeling that (A) will win and (B) will lose."

"Rather, you make a bet because you have the guts and confidence that (A) will win."

"Your last-second hesitation was a big mistake."

"If this is a battlefield, feelings mean nothing, because Doubt equals Death."

Ken finished his words and then we saw Rias who was bowing his head as if he was thinking about Ken's words carefully.

Looking at Rias who looked like she was thinking about his words and remembering them, Ken nodded his head silently.

Ken then looked at Akeno and Koneko with a serious face.

Noticing Ken's gaze, Akeno and Koneko's bodies stiffened and they both became nervous.

"This isn't just for Rias alone, Akeno and Koneko, you two should also remember this carefully and never forget it, understand?" Ken said.

""Understood!"" Akeno and Koneko said in unison.

Ken nodded his head and took out a pack of cigarettes and took out one which he put in his mouth, before lighting it with a lighter.

On the other hand, Akeno and Koneko were becoming increasingly nervous with their bodies stiffening.

"Fuuuhh~" Ken exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

"Hm? Hahaha... why are you guys nervous like that? Relax, relax." Ken laughed after seeing Akeno and Koneko who were tense and nervous.

It was only at this moment that Akeno and Koneko could finally sigh and breathe freely.

'Ken is still as scary as ever when he's serious.' Akeno thought.

'Ken-senpai turns into a creepy person when he's serious.' Koneko thought.

More or less, Akeno and Koneko were thinking the same thing inside their respective heads.

Pat! Pat!

"Alright, Alright, looks like things are going to get serious in a bit." Ken clapped his hands to get their attention, before speaking.

"Rias, you gave Issei the brochure at the beginning, right?" Ken asked.

"How do you know? Well, at first I did ask my familiar to look like an ordinary person handing out brochures, and my familiar managed to give the brochure to him without the slightest suspicion." Rias explained.

After saying that, Rias then summoned her bat familiar.

If you remember, this was the same bat that monitored Ken on his first day as a Kuoh Academy student.

"Hello little one, good job!" Ken said as he petted the round bat.

Just as Ken was playing with the cute bat, Rias raised her palm to show the Gremory family's magic circle shining faintly.

"Looks like it's time to raise the curtain and start the show." Ken said.

Rias, Akeno and Koneko glanced at each other, before smiling and nodding their heads simultaneously to Ken.

"Let's go." Rias only let out one word.

After the word fell from her mouth, Rias then took Ken's arm and pulled him to stand right beside her, while Akeno and Koneko stood slightly behind them.

Rias checked the surroundings and confirmed that there were no people, before finally using the Gremory family's teleportation magic and they disappeared from there.
