ตอน 50: 50 To The Underworld
"Lady Rias, while I distract him, you and your peerage should take this opportunity to leave," Grayfia said, preparing a teleportation circle.
"Alright, but please be careful," Rias responded, concern evident in her voice.
"Hoh? Are you running away from me now?" Otto's voice deepened, resonating with the menace of a muscular vampire.
"I can't protect them all if we both fight seriously," Grayfia stated, her magic struggling to neutralize his oppressive aura.
"Then run as far as you like," Otto declared, the air around them growing frigid.
"I think you should leave now," Brynhildr advised Otto, sensing his reluctance to unleash his full power.
"I know," he muttered, his gaze shifting to Rias and her servants, who had gathered in one place.
'Will that magic circle teleport me to the underworld?' Otto wondered, hatching a plan.
He pointed at Rias, and the magic circle beneath them dimmed.
"What's wrong?" Rias asked, confused by the sudden change.
"The magic circle seems to have lost its power," Akeno observed, trying to understand what had happened.
"No, you don't!" Grayfia shouted, scornful of Otto's interference. She launched an icicle crash at him in a desperate attempt to stop his advance.
Otto dodged effortlessly, his movements awkward yet effective.
"Bookmark." This ability allowed him to use more than two of the stolen abilities recorded in his book.
He glanced at Grayfia, who momentarily froze, pinned by black blades. Otto continued toward the magic circle, maintaining eye contact with her.
"He's not thinking of teleporting with us, is he?" Kiba realized, understanding the danger they faced.
Rias and her peerage couldn't move under Otto's intimidating presence. He snapped his fingers, and the magic circle regained its glow.
"Bye~" he bid farewell, pushing the others away from the circle. As it activated, only Otto was teleported, leaving Rias and her servants behind in stunned silence.
"Why did he go in?" Grayfia murmured, still processing the sight of Otto being teleported. She couldn't figure out if Otto was being smart about it or if it was just a pure accident.
"Grayfia, where was that magic circle supposed to send us?" Rias asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"It was meant to safely send you back to the Gremory Mansion," Grayfia replied politely.
"Was it really okay to accidentally send him to the Gremory Territory in the Underworld?" Kiba wondered aloud.
"Obviously not! That man has been sent to where my mother and father are staying!" Rias exclaimed, her worry deepening. "We need to move and get to the mansion immediately."
Grayfia nodded, her expression serious. "I'll prepare another teleportation circle. We can't waste any time."
As Grayfia began casting the new teleportation spell, Akeno approached Rias. "Do you think your parents will be able to handle him?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
Rias shook her head, anxiety clear in her eyes. "I don't know, Akeno. Issei guy is incredibly powerful and unpredictable. We have to get there as soon as possible to support them."
"Ready," Grayfia announced, the new magic circle glowing with energy.
"Let's go," Rias commanded, stepping into the circle with her peerage following closely behind. In a flash of light, they were transported away.
...
In the Underworld...
"So this is hell," Otto mused as he looked out the window, noticing that the sky wasn't purple as he had expected from the anime.
"You expected it to be horrendous, like what the Bible describes, right?" Brynhildr asked, noting his bewildered expression.
"No, it's not as bad as I had imagined," Otto replied, somewhat relieved.
"The reason the sky resembles that of the human world is because the Satan Beelzebub created it that way, using his demonic power to create an artificial moon, giving the Underworld a more familiar atmosphere to the human world for the Reincarnated Devils."
As they spoke, the two of them used their Curse Energy to scout the area.
"Do you think I can trick Beelzebub with my ability?" Otto pondered aloud, intrigued by Ajuka Beelzebub's unique technique, the Kankara Formula.
"His technique is exceptionally powerful, and he's incredibly cautious, especially around those who conceal their identities," Brynhildr cautioned.
"So I highly doubt you could deceive him that easily."
"I see," Otto said thoughtfully. Using his Curse Energy, he sensed the presence of numerous devils and realized they were in Gremory Territory.
"Was that stunt you pulled really intentional?" Brynhildr asked, watching Otto as he observed the maids outside the window.
"Do noble devils usually have this many maids in their households?" Otto inquired, though his mind was elsewhere.
'Rias' father must be enjoying the company of these maids when his wife isn't around,' Otto thought, remembering that devils accepted such relationships due to their low fertility rates, much like getting a 5-star character in gacha game.
"All of them do. In fact, the majority of those maids are commoners wanting to serve a master," Brynhildr replied logically, though she wasn't entirely sure about the specifics of their situation.
"Well, except for one..." Brynhildr thought of Grayfia but quickly shook off the distraction.
"Everyone has their kinks," Otto joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Suddenly, Otto's expression changed.
"Someone is coming inside," he whispered urgently, looking for a place to hide.
As the door opened, a woman's confused voice filled the room.
"Rias?" She called, unaware that Otto was now lurking under the bed.
'A long luxurious gown... Is she Rias' mother?' Otto thought, observing the lower part of her dress from his hiding spot.
'Urghh—it feels so awkward hiding in these clothes.' He shifted uncomfortably, hoping his cloak wouldn't stick out and reveal his presence, as getting caught would be highly embarrassing.
"Rias?..." The woman looked around, expecting to find her daughter.
"Hmmm... Strange, I thought she would be home when Grayfia informed me." she muttered, puzzled by her daughter's absence. She wondered if Grayfia had somehow made an error, which was unusual for her.
The woman moved closer, and Otto remained still, hiding all traces of his presence—no smell, no footprints, no magical signatures.
"But something did get teleported here..." The woman examined the area where Otto had appeared, noticing the faint mark left by the teleportation spell but finding no other traces.
Otto watched her closely, analyzing her every move. 'This must be Lady Gremory,' he thought, piecing together her identity. He knew he had to remain perfectly hidden, as any slip-up could lead to an awkward and potentially would lead him into a dangerous situation.
'A Blink Dagger, Yoru's teleport, or Omen's teleport would be incredibly useful right now. Oh, the fun old days,' Otto thought sarcastically, reminiscing about the games he played in his previous life. He recalled the thrill of using these abilities in the heat of battle, the strategic advantage they provided, and the satisfaction of outmaneuvering opponents. Those memories seemed distant yet vivid, a stark contrast to his current predicament. As he lay hidden, he couldn't help but wish for the simplicity and escapism those games had once offered him.
'Maybe I should make a game company myself in the future...' He thought.
"I'm impressed that you didn't panic at all or you didn't get turned on by her appearance." Brynhildr praised as seeing Rias' mother who had a humongous breasts, and Otto was quite aware of that.
"..."
"Damn look at those jiggle like crazy." Brynhildr commented as Venelana Gremory stood back up stretching her shoulders.
"Even my breasts aren't as big as those milkers, back in my body."
Hearing Brynhildr's statement, Otto's attention was piqued.
"..."
'Hmmm... Speaking of Brynhildr's body... What happened to it after she sealed herself?' Otto wondered, planning to ask her about it at another time.
As time passed, Venelana eventually gave up searching the room and left entirely, mistakenly believing that no one was there...
"Why did you take a picture of her? Are you planning to use it as material?" Brynhildr joked, curiosity evident in her tone.
"Just to mess with them a bit," Otto replied with a smirk. He had a mischievous plan forming in his mind.
"I might send the picture to Rias in the future just to let her know that I had teleported into their room."
"That should be quite amusing. It'll definitely catch them off guard." Brynhildr chuckled at the idea.
"Indeed, it might also serve as a subtle reminder for them to be more cautious." Otto agreed, nodding thoughtfully.
"Perhaps I should also inform them that I safely teleported using the magic circle. It could alleviate any concerns they might have about my presence." He paused, contemplating his next move.
Otto shrugged as he continued to lurk undetected in the mansion, eager to see the reactions and effects of his little pranks and messages later on.
At the same time...
Rias and her peerage arrived at the mansion, where they were met by a perplexed Venelana.
"Were you here the whole time?" Venelana asked, bewildered by the sudden appearance of Rias and her companions.
"I'm guessing you didn't find anyone?" Rias inquired, watching as her servants swiftly scoured the area for any signs of intrusion.
"What do you mean? Did someone else teleport in besides you?" Venelana's confusion deepened, her keen senses having detected no other presence.
"Someone did teleport in. We're not sure if it was intentional, but that person might still be here," Grayfia stated gravely, her experience recognizing the potential threat posed by the unknown intruder.
"I did find a mark where the teleportation occurred, but there was no one in the room..." Venelana reported, her expression troubled as she tried to make sense of the situation.
While they were absorbed in the mystery of the intruder, locking down the mansion and initiating a thorough search, Otto had already slipped away unnoticed.
"Runes are truly remarkable," Otto marveled to himself, employing a series of intricately crafted runes to move about undetected.
"That's because they were made by a master," Brynhildr remarked, acknowledging Otto's expertise in runic magic.
"So, am I good?" Otto whispered as he used a silencing rune to incapacitate a passing devil guard.
"You're not just good, you're exceptional," Brynhildr affirmed with a grin, impressed by Otto's skillful execution.
Once he had secured the guard's identification card, Otto grinned mischievously.
"With this, I've got myself a ticket to a little vacation," he thought, envisioning his escape from the Gremory Territory under the guise of the unsuspecting guard.
As Otto vanished into the shadows, escaping the wide territory of Gremory.
