DXD OVERLORD

Chapter 33: Kuoh Academy Part 3



PLANS Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion; Living Room

It been a day, since Laharl has returned from a new dungeon, and he told the girls about it being like multi-room area. With the monster that currently found being tiny bats, and will-of-a-wisps that might drop Orange Exp. Orange Exp enhance the spirit that increases one's magical resistance and durability. This was very interesting for the girls, especially by Albedo and Kneesocks that are highly magically stats. Laharl, Kyoko, Ruby, Albedo, Cerberus, Kneesocks, and Mizore got ready to challenge the dungeon, with Mizore quite curious on what's it like and fight the monster within it. As they rested and planned on the living room, which in mainly black furnished, with a white rug and a glass table on the center. This living room was near the kitchen and dinning room, mainly for them to relax but right now it's being use for these seven devils are preparing for a dungeon dive after some months of not doing so...

The next day, after a breakfast cooked by Laharl, being his turn. He lead them to the Abandoned Church, but they did have a bit of a delay, since once again Rias and her peerage came to visit, just when they were about to leave. It took them a moment, before they managed to convince Rias that their going to do their responsibility of hunting monsters. She, and her peerage were a bit sad but understood, instead Rias asked that they can, hang out the next day. Saying this request in a sad, pleading manner. Wanting to get her to leave and not follow them, they promised that they will. Making Rias and her group, very happy.

After settling that issue...and making plan with Rias and her group the next day. The girls sighed, they were...tolerant, of the Gremory heiress, as her bossy attitude, and desperate attempt to be dominant over their man and them doesn't sooth them well at all. Laharl, he sighed a much as he likes his cousin...she really needs to get over her crush, and focus on her destined future husband, and single pawn Issei Hyoudou. But he did promised her they can hang out, and since they still haven't anything to do, apart from hunting, it might be fun. Regardless, he turned to his girls and promised them that after Rias is satisfied from hanging out, he'll take them each on a special date, doing anything they wanted for the whole day. This made all eight girls, smile very excitedly happy, all imagining their dream date with their man, as they all blush red. Once they calmed down Laharl, he led them to the Catacomb Dungeon entrance. It took a couple of minutes, as they flew to the Abandoned Church, and landing right in front of the oldest catacomb of the cementary, as they all drew their respected weapons. He open the stone door of the gravesite and...

CATACOMB DUNGEON RUN Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 1

Laharl and the girls enter the Catacomb Dungeon. Just like Laharl-sama, describe it does look like abandoned, and run down mansion. Laharl, he smirked as he asked, "So girls? Pathway 1? 2? Or 3?" Kneesocks adjusted her glasses and suggested they take the first or third, since this dungeon is all about room they might find useful things. And if they find nothing in their search, they can focus on hunting. Since it was a sound suggestion, the rest of the peerage agreed with red-skinned bishop. Laharl, then pointed his Zanbato to the right at the third path, a hole on the wall and they started their dungeon dive.

Once passed through the hole, and they investigated the next room, they came across to a room filled with damaged and destroyed are pieces and armor. Seeing it as possible profit, Laharl, he started taking the least damage art and decorate armor, when a bunch of tiny bats, came into the room from a hole in the roof. The group charged in, Kyoko killing bunch of the bits with conjuring several, large, magical shuriken and letting them fly, as her Shuriken Wave technique was a deadly as ever. Mizore used a technique to provide support to the other girls, she'd came up with this technique, after being inspired from a fighting game out of everything. Gathering ice magic through her hand, forming a frosty blue and white ball floating and spining in-between her hands, she thrusted her hands out, unleashing a ice ball project that froze all hit. Allowing the girls and Laharl-kun to take out unmoving target. All in all they've killed thirteen tiny bats in the first room, gaining a large amount of Blue-Exp, that greatly enhanced with exception of Kyoko, how was the highest in that stat. But still having their speed and reaction enhanced by any amount is welcome. This level of this dungeon, might soothe the kunoichi and Knight piece of their group.

Done with the room, they checked the other. It was mostly empty, just filled with debri and they'd encounter a brand new monster. A couple of skeletons with some withered armor and a blue cape, and surprisingly these skeletons have a turf of hair on their skulls. Laharl, he recognized these monsters as the Zombies from La Pucelle. They drew their beaten up sword, and attacked. But they were really slow, which Cerberus took advantage over the zombies. Splitting up, to attack and take down three zombies at once, Vii threw a flying punch onto the center zombie, cracking it's skull under her knuckle-equipped fist. Mii threw two fast jabs, then finished the zombie with downward, heavy hell kick on the skull of the zombie. And lastly Kii thew a powerful kick to her zombie's ribs, then threw two more follow-up kick onto the thigh-bone and skull of the monster. Thus the triplets took out the first three zombies, while Ruby destroyed another with a Anarchy Bolt, blasting the slow creater with scarlet energy ball of chaos, hitting a one-hit kill. As Laharl, he finished the last zombie in one swing, crushing the zombie under the power and strength of his attack, as the zombies released red and purple exp. A new exp-drop. So aside orange there is purple exp in this dungeon.

They went over to the red and purple glowing orbs, and they all absorbed them. With the Red Exp given to Kneesocks and Mizore being the lowest level in that level, and was enough for Kneesocks to level up to Mid Black, while the Purple Exp, upon them absorbing it. They felt tougher, their skin felt more durable, and physical defense has greatly increased. Meaning Purple is toughness, or defense, something that they all can welcome along with the Orange Exp. Those two new exp-drops, are the top priority, aside from collecting everything that seems valuable, as Laharl stored the bones of the zombies, they left the room and went deeper into the Catacomb Dungeon.

For hours they investigated the withered, run-down mansion that served as their dungeon. Finding some antiques, old coins, and other old art that were the best in condition, were collected and stored by Laharl. Apart from that they fought and took down much more tiny bat, and zombies. Absorbing enough Blue Exp that Albedo, Ruby, and Mizore leveled up, gaining greater levels of speed, stamina, and more than they could imagine, as Albedo is in Brilliant Black or Level-3, and Mizore entered her first level up. Storing the monsters they'd hunted they found some old, wooden stairway that leads to second floor of this dungeon. Continuing their venture, they encountered more tiny bats, zombies, and finally a will-of-a-wisp. Together they took those monsters out and absorbed the blue, red, purple, yellow and orange exp-drops from those monsters. Mizore strength level-up, and they all level up their tough stat.

After checking all the rooms, fighting a few more zombies, and collecting all valuables, and the monsters. They only have one last room, which is a set of dusty and big wooden doors, with some withering on them. This was clearly the Boss Area. Laharl, told the girls that they should focus on hunting more monsters as they spawn, and call it a day. As Kneesocks and Mizore the rookies and lower levels in the peerage, still need a bit of grinding before, he'd felt secure of taking them into challenging the Boss. Everyone agreed, even if Ruby did complained a bit but they got away from the Boss Area, and did a second sweep of the first area of the Catacomb Dungeon. Taking out a couple more bits and zombies, along with another annoying will-of-a-wisp, enhancing their spirit a bit more, but it was still not enough to level up. That second sweep lasted a hour, and seeing Kneesocks and Mizore panting and sweating, he decided to call it a day, and return to their home to rest and relax.

SURPRISE VISIT Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Belladonna's Mansion

As Laharl, he teleported onto the entrance of his mom's mansion, when the maids in the area saw him, they were excited and happy. Bowing to him, making him smile, telling that he missed them as well. They asked where his girls were? Sadly he told them that they found a new dungeon, and it was tough for Kneesocks and Mizore, so they along with the other girls stay in his mansion to rest. A bit disappointed, the maids understood. He asked if his mom was home, they nodded and told him, she's in her study, with the constant flow of hellhounds, night hounds, ghosts, and gremlins have been greatly fruitful to their House but...yeah, he scratched his head, understanding that without Albedo and Kneesocks her workload most have doubled. At least Kneesocks made a administration team, before leaving with him, but even then the paperwork must still extensive.

Thanking the maids for telling him, about the happening of his home, he left to go see his mom, not only to talk. But also give his mom the hull of monster material and antiques that she can sell. Making his way to his mom's study, greeting every maid, butler, guard, and nekomata that he passes by. All excited in seeing him, as it been a month since he has returned home, cause both he and his mom at been to preoccupied. A shame, as Laharl continued his way through the mansion, feeling happiness, warmth, and nostalgia, his been gone only for a month, and he'd really missed his home in the Underworld.

Belladonna, she was finishing the last stack of documents on her workdesk. Not only profit has been steadily flowing, but the number of high-class leveled devils, and nekomatas have been growing, since her son, Laharl. He gave her permission and slight administrative control on who can enter the dungeon. She started missing him and the girls, just as they promised once they were settled in they visited every Sunday. Coming in the morning and leaving the latest time of the night. Enjoying some family time, and updating her on things going on in Kuoh...honestly, she'd should have guess that her nephew, Sirzechs, he would tell Rias where Laharl and the girls are living. As that niece of her is persistent, and starting to get in the girls nerve, poor them. Just when she was about to continue working on her paperwork, when someone came into her office. When she saw the jacket wearing, red and blue antennae haired boy that came in, she'd smiled and got up from her sit, and rushed over to her son. Hugging him with as much love and affection as a mother could do, her son hugged her back, and told her, he was happy to see her.

As she use her communication magic spell to call Marron, and ask her to bring some tea and snack to her study. It didn't take long for the head maid, Marron came into the study, pleasantly surprised that the young lord came for a visit. Presenting them with the requested snacks, and after placing some sugar cubes, and tea cups onto the table, she served them tea, and said, "It good to see you, Lord Laharl. How is Kyoko and Kneesocks?" Laharl chuckled cause of that, because those girls were clearly the ones that Marron bonded the most, he told them their fine...and like him and other girls, anxious, since they have to restrain themselves, as he said this in a exasperated tone. Marron, she understood and wished him and the ladies best of luck, as she bowed to them and left, mother and son to enjoy themselves. Laharl, he told his mom of his sparing match with Kiba, Rias' knight. Spending time with the girls and trying to get more used with their new house, as they still see their home in the Underworld. This made Belladonna happy on the view of her kids, and then Laharl mentioned the new dungeon that he and the girls just recently...like hours ago, have just got done hunting...and looting, which confused his mom, as Laharl smirked...
