NOVEL WEB DxD 0032: Training Camp (6/6)
After two months spent training within the time-dilated zone, Rias was finally confident that she would be able to do the tampering process on her own. That translated to two days in real-time when incorporating the breaks that Seekvaira and the others took every once in a while.
Rias was sitting in front of Abaddon as she held both his hands. He wasn’t going to be supporting her this time, but he was still paying attention to make sure that she doesn’t inadvertently hurt herself.
She closed her eyes and roused her Power of Destruction to pass through her body. Her control had already grown by leaps and bounds after the regular training as she was able to maintain the flow of her energy through her body with relative ease.
Though soon, it flared up before backing down in front of her control. The Power of Destruction isn’t some meek energy that can be controlled at will. It took a lot of effort to manipulate it and one needed to have absolute control over it or else it would go haywire.
‘Well, well, well…’ Abaddon developed a smirk on his face as he looked at the effects of Rias’ energy flaring before she got it back under her control. Although her body was fine, her clothes were another thing. They got contaminated by the Destruction energy and were slowly disintegrating.
‘I can’t miss this view…’ He thought as he paid attention to Rias’ figure while she had her complete focus on the energy that flowed through her body.
Her face had a cute frown as she had an expression of utmost concentration, though every once in a while, her power would flare up and contaminate her clothes, making some of them disappear.
Abaddon was subjected to an amazing view as he saw her clothes slowly disappear, revealing some of her milky skin underneath.
As the clothes around her breasts started disappearing, Abaddon decided to stop them and help her sports bra and lacy panties survive the onslaught of her energy. ‘It would feel a lot more rewarding when she voluntarily drops them in front of me…’ He thought.
‘She really is a bombshell of a girl…’ He admired her almost bare body. ‘I want to cover her up in whipped cream and lick her all over…’ He had quite a few fun thoughts of things that he could do with her.
Soon, the first cycle was almost 90% finished as she was about to complete her training by herself without any support from him. Abruptly, a gust of wind blew through the room and Rias shivered as she felt the wind on her bare body.
Instantly, her concentration was broken as her power went out of control and went haywire. It would’ve started wreaking havoc through her body if not for Abaddon interfering and using his own energy to suppress her out-of-control energy.
Rias opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed was Abaddon’s concentrated expression as he focused on keeping her safe. Then she noticed the state of her clothes, though she didn’t react as she kept her focus on Abaddon’s face with concern as she tried to help Abaddon get her energy under control.
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief and opened his eyes, only to see Rias’ expression morph into a menacing one as she looked at him with accusatory eyes, “What happened to my clothes?”
“Your flaring Destruction energy disintegrated them.” He said nonchalantly with a small smile.
“I see… I see… Does that not include my underwear?” She asked, unamusedly.
“I thought you would get embarrassed and scream like a little girl if you were completely naked so I decided to intervene and protect your underwear. After all, having you voluntarily take off all your clothes for me is a much more appealing alternative.” His smile curled on one side in a provocative fashion.
“And you couldn’t do the same for my other clothes?” She asked although the menacing expression was still there, her cheeks were tinted with a faint red.
“I’m a devil. I can do the bare minimum for future satisfaction. I’m not some saint who would deliberately cover a naked woman up without looking at her. Hell, the only reason that your underwear is intact is because it’s you.” He shrugged.
She looked at him with narrowed eyes for a while before standing up and casting a magic circle and pulling out another pair of leggings and a top. She didn’t seem embarrassed about wearing her clothes in front of him as she pulled up her leggings.
“Though there is something I’m surprised with. You aren’t wearing matching underwear…” He said something that made Rias stumble.
“Actually you got a little unlucky. I’m wearing my actual bra under this sports bra. And it’s lacy and sexy…” She teased him while jiggling her tits.
“You really want to tease me?” His expression was challenging.
“I can tease you as much as I want. If you make a move first, I win.” She taunted.
He stood up and just as she was about to pull down her top, “You should know Rias.” He grabbed her top and pulled it away from her body. He held her bare waist and pulled her close to himself. He brushed his lips against her cheek as he made his way to her ear, “You are the one person whom I allowed to get a win over me last time… I can do it again…” He whispered with a throaty tone before biting her earlobe, hearing her melodious whimpering moan was a big turn-on for him.
She was in a daze and blushed when he pulled back, “Let’s try again and finish this up quickly so that I can leave you to train by yourself. I have to train the other girls too.” He said to Rias before pulling her down to sit in front of him.
She came back to her senses after a few seconds and looked at him with a begrudging expression before closing her eyes and initiating the process again.
…
With everything finished, Abaddon decided to not do any more time-manipulation shenanigans. Seekvaira was getting mentally exhausted as she repeatedly powered up the magic circles. Time manipulation was a weird concept and even he didn’t understand it much. This is why he didn’t want Seekvaira to overexert herself with this stuff.
And now that the time-consuming part of Rias’ training was finally over, she had more than enough time to train her resistance so that she can condense the armor eventually. There wasn’t really a need for any extra time as the 8-9 months Rias had were more than enough.
Attacks with momentary effects of time were straight and manageable, but sustained time rooms were a whole different thing and once or twice was fine, but consistently casting this kind of spell was detrimental to Seekvaira’s mental energy. He had already been looking for something that would help her mitigate the effects, but his search was unsuccessful for now.
Moving out, he went to Koneko and pulled her away from the bruised and battered Queens who both looked at him with looks of indignation. He promptly ignored their expressions and brought Koneko to Sona. Leaving the Queens with permission to rest for a few hours.
He reached the lake and saw Sona manipulating the water with some nice progress. “Good work, Sona. At least you didn’t destroy the entire lake this time…” He said. This time the water in the lake was three-quarters of the way gone, leaving a quarter.
Sona had already completely cleared out the water more than ten times in the past two days.
“Thanks, I guess…” She said as she focused on her water manipulation. She still had some juice in her, “Stop. It’s time for you and Koneko to train together.” He said, stopping her.
“Oh… Okay, I guess.” Before she could continue, she found her lips being assaulted by Abaddon as he rejuvenated her using Aether.
“At least give me a heads up…” Koneko complained as she looked away. She’d forgotten about the previous time that she came with him when he had kissed Sona.
After a few uncomfortable minutes for Koneko, Abaddon pulled back from Sona’s lips which seemed so alluringly attractive.
“Koneko, you will jump on the water and Sona will be making water platforms that are free of the energy of Destruction. Meanwhile, whips made of this same water will be attacking you. This will train your reflexes while also making you improve your defense since you have to avoid them all the time.” He explained to Koneko who seemed determined and prepared.
“Good. Sona, are you ready?” He confirmed with her and Sona nodded.
“Then go.” He patted Koneko’s shoulder as she jumped on the water, a platform forming right below her feet as she touched the surface of the water. She seemed to have trust that Sona would make reliable platforms. Though if Koneko hadn’t flinched just before touching the platform, it would’ve been a convincing scene. For now, she was just doing it for the sake of doing it. She didn’t actually trust Sona to have her back.
