Chapter 9: Another Sparring

I wake up on my bed like usual after my job harvesting some soul. Today’s haul is rather low. I only get twenty souls out of seventy souls. Too many people really want to repent but never have a chance to do it, and when being offered a chance to repent, they take it and really mean it.

For example, there is a thief that steals to survive. He steals not to buy some drugs but rather to bring food to the table. To feed his family.

So, yeah. All in all, I did not really regret not getting more soul. After all, I still get souls for me to spend.

I already have enough souls to buy a tier 1 waifu. But, sadly, all the tier 1 waifu is not really useful right now. For example, Daenerys Targaryen is in the Tier 1 waifu. However, she is not a powerful woman, the only thing that makes her powerful is her dragon, and even then, I don’t know if it was a dragon or a wyvern.

I don’t know if her so-called Dragon Rider ability will work against the dragon in the DxD world. While she is hot, I don’t want someone who did not have the good battle experience to become my peerage member, especially with the rating game around the corner.

No, I need someone that at least has battle experience. That means I need to buy from the Tier 2 waifu at the very least or Tier 3 just to be sure.

However, I need to save my point to buy a pocket dimension of my own for now. It cost me two thousand souls to buy a pocket dimension the size of Australia. The pocket dimension will be fertile and filled with resources like Iron, Gold, and Oil.

I can also buy a robot worker to harvest those resources. This pocket dimension also will be one of my main incomes. The company did not only want a magical resource; they also want a mundane resource.

However, they buy it at a low price. They are a company, what did you expect?

I need to gather more points, but there is no high reward mission I can do for now. All the high reward mission given by my patron and company is rather difficult for me. The highest reward is to capture Angra Manyu and give it to my patron, Shub-Niggurath.

She wants to eat the Evil God of Zoroastrianism.

The reward for this mission is ten thousand points, and The company will loan me a capture device. However, I need to defeat the Evil God to the brink of death for the device to work. Before the Evil God is dead, I need to use the device. The device will make sure the Evil God is alive long enough for my patron to eat him.

There is also a mission to take the True Longinus out of Cao Cao. While I can do that right now because Cao Cao does not yet reach adulthood and increase his strength, he is currently in the mountain where the Monkey King resides.

That’s right. Sun Wukong trains Cao Cao. I know that he meets Sun Wukong at some point, but I never thought that the Sage of Heaven trained him for a little while. I cannot attack or even kill Cao Cao, for now. However, when he leaves the mountain where Sun Wukong lived, I can track him and steal his True Longinus.

The next one is to sell as many nekomata as I can. This one, I cannot do. While I know I sound like a hypocrite for saying this but I’m not a slaver.

I know that by signing a contract, I became a slaver, but I did not want to sell other things on my own. There is a reason why I want a contract waifu rather than Original and Clone. I want to help them in return for them serving me for… eternity.

ARGH! There is no way to make it sound good.

Basically, I did not want to sell those people myself. The only one I am willing to sell to the company is the people I did not like. If Cao Cao can be sold to the company, I will do it. Or maybe Rizevim.

I will ask the company later.

For now, I need to train my body and demonic energy.

~One Week Later~

“Huuuu”

“Good job!”

I smile at my mother, who decided to teach me how to control the bloodline that comes from the Vassago Family.

“Remember, while we can reinforce our body to the limit, it will destroy our body. So before you say that it has already been taken care of by your Phenex bloodline, that is true, but Vassago bloodline will deactivate itself once it sees your body is breaking.”

“Understood, mother.”

“Good. Now, you already know how to activate your bloodline. Let us do some sparring.”

“Already? I thought we were still in the learning stage.”

“We are! The greatest teacher is experienced. Come on! Here I come!”

Before I could even think, my mother appeared in front of me and punched me right in the face.

*BOOM*

Urgh. Holy s***. That hurt. I shook my head and immediately jumped away and just missed a flying kick from my mother. Then, seeing that my mother is serious about this sparring, I release a massive fireball from my mouth and let it fly toward my mother.

“You need better than that, Riser!”

I smirk a little when my fire freezes her hand when my mother tries to punch through my fire.

“Like said earlier! It needs more than that!”

I widen my eyes when I see my mother destroy the ice with ease. With a large grin on her face, my mother jumped toward me. I dodge the incoming attack, just barely. I land on the ground and see the place where I used to be is now a crater.

I don’t know about my family and their second personality. Every time they fight in a sparring or rating game, their personality changes completely. In public, they are polite and kind, but when they are fighting someone, they become something else entirely.

Not only that-Urgh.

“Never think too long in the battle, dear~.”

Once again, I get punched to the nearby wall. I shake my head and create a massive magic circle, and suddenly the ground rises and wraps her up. I know it will not hold her up for more than a second, but it was enough.

I charge at her and reinforce my body to the limit. When I see my mother destroy the earth that wraps her in place, I already appear in front of her and punch her right in the face. As she was thrown away, I ran toward her and was ready to punch her once again.

However, before my fist can touch her, my mother stops mid-air and catches my fist with her hand. She then twists my hand and punches me to the ground.

“ARGH”

I open up my eyes and see my mother sitting on my stomach with a grin on her face.

“You lose”

“Haaaa. Yeah, I admit defeat.”

“You still have a long road ahead of you, dear. However, I must say that your punch is really good. That punch is enough to make a high-class devil think twice to be hit by the same punch. Sadly, you can only use that kind of punch two more times before your body breaks down. After that, you need to train your body. Lucky for you, the Phenex bloodline is good for harsh physical training. Your bloodline will heal and make your body adapt faster than others.”

“Understood.”

“Good. Now come on! Lunch will be ready in a few minutes.”

I get up from the ground and follow my mother inside the Phenex mansion. I could have a higher chance of winning against my mother. Still, it involved an underhand method like poisoning the air around her or creating a tiny condensed hellfire that gets inside her body before detonating it. Sadly, I cannot do that. We are sparring not to fight the dead. Not only that, she is my mother, not my enemy.

“Oh yeah! Tomorrow, it is your father’s turn to train you. He will be the one that teaches you how to control your fire.”

“Yes, mother”

“Good! Because the next day after tomorrow is my turn, and we will do intense training.”

I get pale a little bit. If it is not intense training right now, I don’t know what kind of training I will experience.

I shake my head and take out my phone.

I have gathered enough points to buy my own pocket dimension. However, I cannot wait to get my own pocket dimension.
