Multiverse Gacha

[185] Akeno’s Transformation

The reason for doing this is that the skill of the Great Spiralling Ring is obtained through gacha drawing. Although August has fully understood it after receiving it, he is not sure how to teach it to others.

So all August can do is let her experience the process of using the Great Spiralling Ring.

As the female protagonist of this world, Rias should be able to learn, after all, as the female protagonist, her aptitude is definitely not bad.

The appearance of the Great Spiralling Ring made Rias extremely excited because it appeared in her hands.

"Don't be distracted. Feel the rotation of magical power."

"Yes."

After a while, August dissipated the Great Spiralling Ring. Akeno didn't know what to write at the moment.

"How was it?"

"It seems like I understood a little bit, but also seems like I didn't understand."

"Did you understand or not?"

"No."

"Where didn't you understand?"

"The high-speed rotation of magical power, how to stabilize it in my hand. The moment you withdrew your hand, the magical power showed signs of chaos."

"So, it requires the user's control."

Upon hearing this, Rias seemed thoughtful, but it seemed like she didn't understand anything.

August was also helpless. He really didn't know how to teach. Four months ago, he was just an ordinary person.

If it was about fighting in dungeons, combat experience, swordsmanship experience, August had some understanding. However, these skills were obtained by cheating. How could he teach them?

"You need to explore and practice on your own. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

"I understand."

Watching Rias really thinking hard, August suddenly felt like he was deceiving others.

Next, August's gaze fell on the other three.

In an instant, all three were on high alert.

"As for you three, it's much simpler than Rias, especially Akeno and Koneko."

"Ara~, then please teach us, August-sama."

Akeno smiled slightly, showing a hint of charm as she spoke.

"The first step is to accept the blood flowing in your bodies."

For a moment, Akeno's original smile froze, and Koneko also stood still.

Rias stopped her practice and turned to look at Akeno and Koneko.

For many years, this had been their emotional burden. Even though Rias had tried to comfort them over the years, it seemed that now August had directly uncovered it, and she was afraid that something might happen.

"It seems that August-sama knows a lot of things."

"How should I put it? I'm Duke of the Underworld. Although I don't go out much, it doesn't mean I don't know anything."

"Is it because of that man?"

That man, the man named Baraqiel.

Originally, when one of the Five Principal Clans, the Himejima family's shrine maiden Shuri Himejima, encountered the injured fallen angel Baraqiel, Baraqiel gradually recovered under Shuri Himejima's care, and the two developed feelings for each other.

In the end, the two got together and gave birth to the fruit of love, which was Akeno. However, since Shuri Himejima, as a shrine maiden of the Himejima family, was with a fallen angel, she still had another daughter left, which was a serious crime.

When Baraqiel went out on a mission for Azazel, the Himejima family suddenly attacked. In order to protect her daughter, Shuri Himejima was killed by her own kin, and Akeno could only flee.

Although Baraqiel, who rushed back, killed all the attackers in the end, his wife had already died.

As a result, Akeno hated her black wings and fallen angel bloodline, and she hated her father, a fallen angel, who implicated her mother's murder.

After leaving her father, she wandered alone, making a living by helping people ward off evil spirits and exorcising evil spirits.

During her wandering, she was hunted down by members of the Himejima family, and when she was about to be killed, she was saved by Rias and later became Rias's peerage.

So far, because of the Gremory family behind Rias, the Himejima family didn't dare to provoke Akeno anymore.

"The blood flowing in you is essentially yours, and your power, which you despise, is originally yours. How can you become stronger if you refuse to accept your own power?"

"I..."

Hesitation, conflict, and hesitation. How could years of obsession be resolved in just a few words?

And August's words were not only for Akeno but also for Koneko.

Unlike Akeno, Koneko, because of her sister Kuroka, had always been afraid of her race and power, fearing that one day she would go berserk like her sister and harm others.

So, she had always been unwilling to reveal her true identity and use her power.

"Are you still hesitating? Unwilling to forgive your father? Unable to let go of the pain your mother suffered back then?"

"Stop talking!"

Her scales were being exposed piece by piece, directly stabbing Akeno.

"Then let me put it another way. If it concerns the lifelong event of your good friends, how would you choose? Would you continue your persistence, or would you accept your own power for your friend's sake?"

In that instant, Akeno froze. For the sake of Rias, was she willing to accept her true power?

In the original work, neither she nor Koneko had used their true power. Perhaps it was because of the plot where the protagonist would develop a relationship with both of them later, but this was also a fact.

"Akeno..."

Rias had just wanted to speak but was stopped by August's gaze.

August was not Issei Hyoudou, so he wouldn't wait for women to approach him. August would choose to take the initiative. Of course, it was also because he had been taken the initiative by two women in Orario, which was quite humiliating.

On one side were her friends, and on the other side was her father whom she was unwilling to forgive. She really didn't know what to do.

Click!

A bolt of lightning began to flicker around Akeno. This was Akeno's talent, the magical power of the lightning attribute.

Woosh!

Then, a burst of white light appeared, making everyone feel a bit uncomfortable at the moment.

In Akeno's surprise, the power of lightning and light merged.

Splash!

Behind Akeno, appeared a pair of black wings of a fallen angel and black wings of a devils. In Akeno's hands, the power of lightning and light merged and turned into magical power of thunder and light.

Unlike the original work, she did not forgive her father Baraqiel, but for the sake of Rias, she was willing to accept her bloodline and the power that originally belonged to her, because only in this way could she help Rias and her friends.

"Congratulations, Akeno."

August suddenly smiled. Unexpectedly, he also had the ability to shut people up, which made August quite proud.
