Chapter 34. Who?
Unknown Place
Kuoh, Japan
There is a battle in the abandoned factory.
Yes, it's Satria fighting the Stray Devil, who has a shape like a horse with a human body.
"Eat... Eat... Hungry!" The monster said and charged him.
"Dark Platinum, Cover Fire." The fist of dark platinum is covered by black fire, Satria rain fire fist to stray devil.
"Ora...Ora...Ora...Ora!."
"Graaaaaaaaa." The stray devil was thrown against the wall.
Satria walks to him.
"Any last word?" Satria stands in front of him.
"Please, Kill me." The stray asks Satria to finish him.
"Gladly."
"Thank... You."
Satria separated his head from its body with his standing kick.
"Rest in peace poor soul." He burned the corpse, thinking how many people met the same fate as this.
Those evil pieces, damn'it.
Then he felt someone watching him.
"Show yourself; I know you're watching me," Satria says to someone who watch him from far away.
Someone comes out from the shadow.
He looked at a beautiful silver-haired girl with a bad-girl outfit.
'Who the hell is this?" Satria never sees this woman in the DxD series.
'I don't know too, brother. When I check your memory, I don't find someone like this in DxD.' Fatalis don't know about her too.
"You're interesting, Human who can kill that stray devil with invisible force. What's that? And who are you?" The mysterious woman grinned at him.
"It's more polite if you introduce yourself, first lady, before asking people's names," Satria says to her.
She nodded. "Okay then, my name is Valiana, the wielder of the Longinus, the Divine Divide, the Possessor of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion." She introduced herself.
'...'
'...'
'Huh? Vali, here is a girl.' He surprised gonna meet White Dragon Emperor, Empress this fast and it's the female version of Vali.
'That unexpected.' Fatalis said.
He smirked. "Because you already bother introducing yourself, excuse me for introducing you to my true self too."
"Of course," Valiana said, It's not a waste coming to this town, She didn't expect there is strong humans in Devil Territory.
"My name is Shidou Matsumi, but call me Shin. I'm a 16-year-old high school boy you can find everywhere. My hobby is not your business. My dislike is not your business too. My life is not your business too. My dream is not your business too. Nice to meet you." Satria introduces himself.
Both Valiant and Albion listen to that sweatdropped.
"That does not explain anything, you bastard!" Valiana was annoyed by his weird guy introduction.
"Be careful, partner; I feel something inside him that's strong too. It's maybe the same as or superior to my power." Albion warns her. 'What is this power? It feels dark and powerful, Is this perhaps Evil Dragon?.' He wondering The power inside him is unknown to him.
He lit his cigarette without their knowledge, making Valiana and Albion shocked.
'I don't see him moving. How?.' Valiana was confused, She never wavered her eyes from him, and suddenly this man had already lit his cigarette.
'This is not super speed or something like that; beware!" Albion doesn't know what this man did before. Is this guy perhaps stopping time? No way; he can't be stopped by something like that.
"So, what's your business with me? If you only want to know each other, can I go home now?" Satria asks her, He doesn't want to fight her tonight because he is not perfectly ready for it. His percentage of winning against her is 30-50%, He only fights his opponent when his percentage of winning is above 90%, Below that he prefers to escape from his opponent, Only fights when the situation forces him. He is not an idiot like the woman in front of him, after all.
"Fight me, Shin!" Valiana challenged him.

[Special Quest for Shin]
[Defeat the White Dragon Emperor in Duel]
God of Hope: "Hmmm, does your world have a White Dragon Emperor?"
Batman Junior: "Can you livestream this fight? I am curious about your ability."
Ice Sadist: "Do you know about this White Dragon Emperor? @God"
God of Hope: "Yup, he is a battle maniac and one of the bearers of thirteen Longinus."
King of Knights: "Longinus?"
God of Hope: "Put it simply, it's a weapon of humanity to protect themselves from supernatural forces and was created by God of the Bible himself."
Spider-Man: "Do you think my world has something like that?"
Batman Junior: "Weapon created by the God of the Bible, huh? With all the weird shit that happens in my world, I'm not surprised about it."
Man with Gender Equality: "Where the Livestreaming? I can't wait to watch Shin get kicked in the ass."
Shin: "Shut up, moron!"
[Shin open livestreaming]
___________________________________________
'I already predicted this, Fucking battle maniac.' Satria sweatdropped.
"Hoo~ If I win what I'm got? I don't like fighting, sadly. Better I'm sleeping in my bed or playing blue archive than fighting with you lady." Satria says He doesn't want to waste his time-fighting people without reward.
"If you win, you can do anything you like to me," Valiana promised him, She was a Dragon after all, who prefers strong males as mates.
___________________________________________
Pervert Sage: "Hehehe, you're really lucky, Satria-kun. Can you ask her to become a model for my book?"
God of Hope: "..... Vali is a woman in there? What the hell?."
Man with Gender Equality: "Damn this womanizer. Why is this weird guy always surrounded by women? What he has, I don't have."
Silver-Haired Half-Elf: "Pervert, an enemy of women.
King of Knights: "You better control yourself, pervert, or you're going to regret it."
Evil Spirits: "Ara-Ara, let me join if you want to punish this pervert."
Pervert Sage: "I'm sorry."
___________________________________________
"You okay? It's not right, lady, to offer herself like that. What if I do something to your body if I win? Like you know." Satria licked his lips and made a perverted hand gesture, hoping she was scared of him.
___________________________________________
Evil Spirit: "This guy is not different than Pervert Sage and Trashzuma."
Man with Gender Equality: "Apologies! I'm not that bad."
Pervert Sage: "Satria-kun knows how to make use of opportunities in adversity."
God of Hope: "I take back what I said, and I thought he was a decent guy."
Spider-Man: "He is a weird but good guy."
Pervert Sage: "He is a man of culture. Don't judge him, guys; I'm proud of him."
Batman Junior: "This guy is hopeless."
___________________________________________
"I don't mind. We dragons always search for worthy males for mates. You can do anything you want to me if you win. Prepare yourself!" Valiana changed her form.
'Wadehel, I'm trying to scare her only to make her more motivated to fight me.' Satria ready his stance.
(Play OST)
'Are you an idiot, brother?" Fatalis asks him, This man is a dumbass.
'Shut up, no choice.' He summoned his driver's and belt. "Henshin!" His body is now covered by black armour.
"That interesting sacred gear you have? What is your sacred gear name?" Valiana asked him.
"The name of my sacred gear is not your business," Satria answers her, Only to make Valiana annoyed him.
"Bastard. Don't make fun of me!" She dashed toward me with incredible speed.
"Dark Platinum, stop time!" He stopped time and evaded her attack, then landed a left elbow on her stomach. "Time will be continued again."
"Ugh!" Valiana has been thrown away so far, and her armour is broken because of the impact. "What is that? I can't see his attack." Valiana was coughing blood, The damage done to her was immense.
___________________________________________
Spider-Man: "He didn't hold back, even to women."
Man with Gender Equality: "He is one of my kind, Go, Shin! Punish that bad girl."
God of Hope: "Is he stopping time?"
Ice Sadist: "Hoo, you notice it too, huh?"
Batman Junior: "What? Is that possible to stop time?"
Ice Sadist: "Of course, I can do that too, boy."
Evil Spirit: "Me too."
___________________________________________
"Who knows?." Satria shrugged his shoulders.
'I can't attack her carelessly without stopping time. Surely my attack will be absorbed by her sacred gear. Let's see what I should do next.' Satria is thinking of his next move.
'This is a bad partner. If we don't discover his secret, we will lose.' Albion says, This man knows how to fight, He's sure about it, and one of his strikes can even break the armour.
'I know damn'it. How the hell am I getting hit without seeing his move?' Valiana fixed her armour immediately.
Satria took out a card from his belt and put it in his Dragvisor.
'Strike Vent'
He summoned a black dragon bow in his hand.
Satria shoots his special arrow in the sky, When the arrow explodes, it makes a rain of many black arrows aiming at her.
'Get up and block it, partner!" Albion says to hers.
"You don't need to tell me, Damn'it!" Vali creates defensive demonic power to protect herself from a rain of arrows. "Heh, too easy." She grinned, Not noticing Satria already beside her.
(Illustration)
"Why are you smiling lady? Lesson one: never avert your gaze to your enemy." Satria clenched his fist, It's the fastest blow that strikes over the shortest range with minimal motion, This makes it virtually impossible to evade. He covered his fist with black fire, Satria named this blow the 'Black Dragon Shot'.
The impact made Valiana's armour destroyed and thrown farther away than before.
___________________________________________
King of Knights: "Impressive. He used the first attack as a decoy and changed his style immediately. How can this young man be so versatile?"
God of Hope: "He is a prodigy of martial arts; I can't believe I will meet someone like him here."
Batman Junior: "He knew where to aim; he targeted her vital point and used anything to gain victory."
Ice Sadist: "Mercenary, huh? He is fighting not for honour but for survival, unlike his enemy; I already know who is going to win in this battle."
___________________________________________
"Ughhh!!! this again. How can you move that fast!?" Valiana wondered, What is his secret ability? She does not accept being defeated by this unknown human. She must use it to defeat him.
"Who knows?." Satria looks at her, who now has a weird pose, She wants to do something.
'That pose. Did she want to use Juggernaut Drive?"
"Hey crazy girl, There is no need to use that mode for sparing. Are you crazy or what? Not saying you're badly injured right now." Satria doesn't want this town destroyed because of their battle.
"Shut up!." She never felt like this. Her body screamed in pain right now, and some of her bones were broken because of his clear strikes to her ribs. But Valiana's pride did not allow her to surrender.
'I, wh-who shall awaken.' Valiana begins to chant, which is a bit difficult for her because of the pain.
"I'm the Heavenly Dragon who lost all principle of domination.'
"Dark Platinum, Time Stop!" He chopped off her head and made her fall to the ground. "Time will be continued again."
"Ugh! Damn you coward, just wait for me to transform first, Bastard!" Valiana glared at Satria, How dare he disrespect her like this?
___________________________________________
Spider-Man: "I feel bad for her."
King of Knights: "What a coward!"
God of Hope: "Poor girl, at least let her transform first, Shin."
Pervert Sage: "Hahahaha, I mean, why does he need to wait for his opponent to power up? It's foolish."
Ice Sadist: "Not fun. I'm interested in her next form."
Man with Gender Equality: "@Shin must be scared to be kicked in the ass by her."
Shin: "STFU!"
[Shin closes the livestreaming]
___________________________________________
"You think I'm an idiot who will let you transform?" Satria sweatdropped at her comment and already pointed his sword at her neck. "Checkmate!."
"Idiot, Even though your method is cowardly, you still won against me. What do you want from me?" Valiana asks him.
Satria only makes a small smile. "I'm just kidding before. Are you okay?" He lends his hand to her.
She blushed. "Yeah, I'm fine." She takes his hand.
"So, what are you going to do now?" he inquires.
"I don't know." She shrugged her shoulders, She don't have a schedule tonight.
He smiled at her and asked. "Want to eat ramen with me? My treat."
Valiana's eyes shine when she hears ramen.
"Of course, let's go. I know the place." She held his hand and dragged Satria somewhere, despite her injury.
'This is the first time I've watched her like this.' Albion says, He never sees his bearer this cheerful.
Satria chuckled, Then looked at her injuries.
"Wait, we need to heal you first, lady." Satria is stopping her.
"My injury? Auch, Can you help me, Shin?" Valiana makes puppy eyes and wants him to carry her in his arms.
Satria wraps his arms around Valiana's back and behind her knee. He bridal carries her.
"Ready to go, princess?" Satria asks her, Valiana blushes and covers her face because she is embarrassed.
'Waaaaaa!!! What the heck am I thinking about asking him to carry me? He's too close to me. If I watch him more closely, he is really cute, but his body is surprisingly muscular. And princess? How dare he call me Princess? Unforgivable. ... Why can't I be mad at him? It's surprisingly good to be treated like this by him, hehehe.' Valiana makes a strange smile.
'Is this your true plan, brother?" Fatalis asks him.
'I don't know what you mean.' Satria is clueless. She doesn't know what his partner means.
'Well, Goodluck.' Fatalis wishes him luck for some reason.
To be continued.

Side Story: The Amazing Spider-Man (Part 4)
"Peter! What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to get you out of this asylum."
"But... you're the one who put me here! And with good reason... I can't."
"Who is this master?" Baobhan asks her master.
"His name is Curt Connor, the scientist who unleashed Lizard in my city," Peter replied.
"Who is this young lady?" Connor has goosebumps just near this woman.
"Her name is Sith, my..." Peter's words were cut by her.
"My name is Baobhan Sith; I'm this guy's owner." She grabs his arms and introduces herself proudly to him.
"Owner? You're the kinky type, Peter? I didn't expect it, hahaha." Connor teases him.
"No! Let's get back to the topic. Time is running out, Connor. Something bad has happened. Something really bad." Peter say.
•
Midtown Manhattan
Peter and Baobhan were walking together in the daylight to a certain place because of some business.
"Master, what do you think about me?" Baobhan asked him, She is now wearing modern clothes: a red jacket, a white shirt, short jeans, and black stockings.
"You are beautiful, Baobhan. Please don't get too close to me." Peter is embarrassed because this girl's always so bold; Baobhan's hands are soft, and she smells good too.
They are now holding hands, and some people look at Baobhan because of her unusual beauty. Some men are jealous of Peter.
"Hmm, why can't I get close to you, master? Do you hate me?" Baobhan asks him.
"No, I don't hate you, Baobhan; it's just that I'm not used to being treated like this by girls," Peter said truthfully.
Baobhan smirked. "What a loser~ Don't worry, let this big sister take care of you, Peter." She patted his head.
"Don't treat me like a child, Baobhan, especially in public." Peter was embarrassed because people near him were watching him with weird expressions.
•
Oscorp Tower
Midtown Manhattan
"Baobhan, please hide your presence in here," Peter ordered her before entering the Oscorp Tower.
"As you wish, master." Baobhan in spirit form.
Peter enters Oscorp Tower and walks until he meets a blonde-haired woman.
"Hey." Peter waved to her.
"Thanks for coming with me, Peter. You're brave." A blonde woman holding Peter's hand.
Suddenly, on the wall behind her, there were words written with blood.
I'm watching you, Master :)
Peter had a bad feeling about this and let go of Gwen's hand immediately.
"Peter?." Gwen is confused. His face looks scared at something.
"No-Nothing," Peter says, And blood on the wall is disappearing.
"Okay, we must be careful here; I'm not supposed to be here after hours," Gwen said.
"I hope it's better than the first time I snuck in; that was not fun," Peter remembers his past. It's an unpleasant memory.
"We're not sneaking; we're investigating." Gwen denies it. She is here to investigate what happens in the Oscorp Tower right now. "Weird things happen here after hours; Doctor Smythe's trying to get rid of it. He's not a bad guy, you know. He wants to turn the company around." Gwen said.
"Yeah, that's what the videos said," Peter said with a sarcastic tone, They always act good only in front of the camera. "So what's the rotten part of Oscorp?" Peter asks her about the problems.
"I think they are continuing Doctor Connor's cross-species experiment," Gwen answered him.
"Huh? Like create more lizards?"
•
"Oscorp has the geniuses and the resources; why can't it benefit people?" Gwen said. "That's the reason I came back, and Doctor Smythe wants to change things." Gwen entered the code to open the door.
Peter watches his surroundings. This guy, Smythe, creates many big robots for some reason in the laboratory. He claims he wants to usher in a new era or something for humanity in the news.
They sneaked to a suspicious place, Everything seems normal until he finds weird shit. It's a humanoid rhino caged with an armed man.
"What the hell is that?" Peter wondering.
"Oh my God, this could be proof they're continuing Connor's work," Gwen said.
The humanoid rhino rebelled and tried to escape, but crashed into an invisible wall, and an armed man abused him after it.
Someone is running to Gwen. "Is everyone okay? Gwen? Are you alright?"
The man helped Gwen, who fell on the floor because she was shocked at Rhino, who wanted to charge her.
Luckily she was saved by the invisible wall, which protected her from it.
"Yeah, thanks, Doctor Smythe," Gwen said.
"Hey! You kid's in big trouble. What're you doing here?" The Oscorp Guard asks Peter and Gwen why.
"It's okay. They're with me." Doctor Smythe said to the guard: "What're you doing here, Gwen? You're not supposed to be here, especially with the guest." He was looking at Peter.
"Dr Smythe, I'm so sorry. It's my friend Peter Parker." Gwen apologizes to him and introduces Peter to him.
"Peter Parker, I've heard about you." Dr Smythe makes a handshake gesture, and Peter accepts it.
"And I heard about you lot tonight," Peter said.
"So, why do you..."
"Excuse me, I'm totally to blame, doc; I'm amazed at what you've done with Oscorp." Peter doesn't want Gwen to have problems with her superior and take all the blame on him. "Especially when I heard about the changes like you making the nanobots, I wanted to see them myself." Peter, tell him the reason.
"You worked with Connor, right?" Smythe asked him. "Funny, to see you here when I'm trying to dispose of cross-species."
"This is cross-species?" Gwen points at a humanoid rhino."You promise me, all Connor's work is over. How many of us have something like this in here?"
"I told you the truth, Gwen, the experiment is over-just not nearly as I'd hoped. No more humans will be turned into animals like Connor did, but what you see here is what happens when an animal gets a nice dose of human DNA." Symthe said while looking at Rhino.
'This guy is a liar. Don't trust him, master.' Baobhan whispers to him.
'I already suspected him a lot. We just need to search for more evidence and stop him for good.' Peter said.
"Here, follow me; I trust you'll keep everything you see in the strictest confidence," Symthe said, They followed Symthe to a large room. They found another cross-species caged in there too.
"Another one?."
Side End.
