High school dxd: As Sukuna

Chapter 22: Chapter 22



Alastor watched the reaction, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. He knew exactly what he was doing, and it was a calculated move.

If Kiba was ever going to grow stronger, he needed to face the reality of his situation—not just in terms of skill, but in terms of his emotional baggage.

Kiba's grip tightened on his sword, his knuckles turning white. The calm, collected façade he usually maintained began to crack, revealing the raw, seething anger beneath. "What do you know about my past?" he hissed, his voice low and trembling with barely suppressed rage.

Oh, I like that, it been a while since someone pointed there anger at me. Alastor thought.

Alastor didn't flinch. He met Kiba's gaze head-on with his own eyes cold and unyielding.

"More than you think," he replied. Since he knows the how Anime went, of course Alastor know more than Kiba.

"But that's not the point. The point is, you're letting your past control you, and it's making you weak. If your friends/comrades/blood brothers, whatever you call them, sees you they would be laughing their ass of because they sacrificed their lives to save someone as pathetic as your."

Kiba snapped. With a roar of fury, he launched himself at Alastor, swinging his sword with reckless abandon.

Gone was the precise, calculated swordsman from moments before—now, he was a tempest of raw emotion, lashing out with all the pain and anger he had kept bottled up for so long.

Alastor didn't dodge this time. He stood his ground, letting Kiba's sword come within inches of him before raising his hand to block it. The blade met an invisible barrier, stopping dead in its tracks, and Kiba's eyes widened in shock.

"Pathetic," Alastor repeated, his voice laced with disdain. "You couldn't even destroy this flimsy barrier of mine. Is this what you call strength? Is this how you honor the memory of your comrades? If revenge is what you seek, then stop wallowing in self-pity and become strong enough to kill your enemies."

Kiba struggled against the barrier, but it was like trying to move a mountain. His strength, fueled by his rage, was nothing compared to the power that Alastor held.

but as much as he wanted to deny it, he knew Alastor was right. He had been clinging to the past, letting it define him, letting it chain him down. His desire for revenge had become a burden, not a source of strength.

"But you know, It's your lucky day," Alastor voice once again sounded.

Kiba looked up and saw Alastor smiling at him. But seeing that smile, A sudden chill pass through Kiba's spine.

"If you want, I will make you stronger and I will also help you get your revenge, Even if that means going against the church. But you know, how a devil never do a anything for free." Alastor said.

"So interested in making a deal with this devil."

In underworld, It's not uncommon for a devil to make deal with another one. But there is always the fact, who you should making a deal.

Seeing Alastor, Who look like the biblical personification of Devil, who are cruel and sadistic, will do anything to achieve their final good. Kiba started understand why he was famous and people fear as even Kiba's palms started to become cold.

Alastor's smile was unsettling, like that of a predator toying with its prey.

"What is that you want from me?" Kiba finally asked, his voice steady but laced with wariness.

Should he ask Rias's permission before anything. But it's seems already late for that. Kiba thought to himself.

Alastor's smile widened slightly, as if pleased by Kiba's cautious approach. "Oh, nothing too drastic.You see, there is possibility of Rias's going on a many Life and death situation in far future. So just that you will makes her protect her with your last breath if you have to."

Kiba looked at him with a surprise look on his face. He was expecting something more extreme.

But Alastor condition is he needs to protect his own master. Even if Alastor didn't tell him, Kiba will still protect Rias with his last dying breath as she is the one who helped him when he was at the lowest.

"That's it?" Kiba asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Alastor's expression remained calm, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. "That's it," he confirmed. "You see, Kiba, I'm not interested in controlling you or making you a puppet. I just want to ensure that when the time comes, Rias has people around her who are strong enough to keep her safe. I need her alive for... certain reasons."

"You don't have to worry about that," Kiba said firmly, a newfound determination in his voice. "I would protect Buchou with my life, whether you asked me to or not."
