Kisuke Uruhara On DXD

Chapter 161

Standing on the balcony of a room in a large house located just outside Athens. A petite woman with long black hair wearing a nightgown was staring at the moon while enjoying a cup of tea. It didn't take long for this serene scene to be interrupted by a knock on its door. Without looking back, he replied, "Get in."

A tall thin man wearing a white coat and an inconspicuous white mask entered the room, "Good night, Miss Elexa. Sorry to interrupt your break, but I'm here for my daily report."

"..." - ".The woman continued to stare at the moon before saying, "Continue."

"There's still no news on the target. But we managed to narrow it down in the Isles of Saronic Bay." The man proceeded to bow as he reported the findings today.

"Is that everything?"

"...Yeah." yeah."

"You can go."

"understandable. Good night, Miss Elexa." The man walked back to get out before gently closing the door.

A gentle nightly summer breeze blew into the room ringing the bell hung on the window. Elexa picked up her teacup and drank it before speaking, "Petter."

From the shadow in the corner of the room, a man wearing casual clothes with shoulder-length dark red hair while holding a spear walked out, "What are you planning next, Teny."

Elexa who was called Teny looked back and glared at him, "I told you not to call me by that name!" Simultaneously with his words, a large amount of Mana spilled from him and befell Petter.

Petter had to take a step back and gulp down his saliva along with dropping his spear and raising his hand a surrender sign, "Alright! I won't call you by that name!" If anyone from the Perseus Clan could see this scene where the 'Strongest' of this generation gave up in front of the 'Weakest', they would question their sanity.

Elexa took back her gaze with her Mana and faced the moon again.

Petter heaved a sigh of relief and thought, 'This sadistic slut is too terrifying...' He picked up his spear again before saying, "What are you planning to do now?"

The real reason why Petter did not participate in the competition for the Clan Chief was because he knew how many monsters were hiding under the skin of the petite woman. Petter wasn't too afraid of his fighting strength because he welcomed him so much. Challenging him to war was one of his wishes if he really wanted to be strong. What scares her the most, however, is the fact that she will do anything, like anything just to achieve her goal. He would not even hesitate to eat human flesh if that was what he needed to do.

"For the moment... Wait." Wait." Elexa replied as she poured another cup of tea for herself.

"Can't you deal with that monster a few days ago? Why let him run away?" Petter finally asked what had bothered him since that day.

"It would be too boring ..."

"What?"

"Athena wouldn't like a show like that. If I finish him off then, I won't get what I want." Alexa laughed a little.

"...What are you talking about? You want to cheer Athena up? Why would you want to do something as troublesome as that?" Petter could not understand the reason at all because he could already get most of what he wanted if he became the Clan Head.

Elexa sat down on the chair before saying, "You're really not interested in this competition, huh?"

"..." - ".Petter remained silent and let him continue.

"In addition to the weapons from each house that won in the competition, you can receive additional prizes." Elexa placed her chin on her right hand as she looked towards Petter with a smile.

With his curiosity piqued, Petter asked with a bit of enthusiasm, "There is more? What's up?"

"Because..." Petter muttered but an idea came to his mind, "Ah...! You can't possibly be referring to that, right!?"

Chuckling, Elexa confirmed his words, "Hehe, yes. I want the Kibisis containing Medusa's head."

"What's!? Why would Athena think of giving up something as dangerous as that!?" He could not understand his words. Something as dangerous as the head of a god should not land in human hands. Adding to the confusion was that Elexa was very confident that Athena could grant this.

"It's dangerous, but it's not impossible to find someone you can handle." Elexa leaned back in her chair and expressed her opinion.

Petter finally understood what he wanted to do, "So you mean you want to put on a show for Athena so she'll give you a Kibisis?"

"Bingo~." Elexa answered playfully, but that only made Petter shudder.

Petter hesitated for a moment before asking another question, "...Why would you want something like that?" To be honest, Petter did not want to ask this question because he would be more deeply involved with his plans. He only visited her tonight out of curiosity, but he did not expect that she would get an answer like this. But no matter what, he had already heard of his goal of releasing Medusa and he wanted to ascertain what his next plan was because it would definitely involve him and his family.

"Because a big change will happen~. I want the strongest card I can get for me to have a place in it." This vague answer only gave Petter a bad premonition.

"...You don't make any sense..."

"You'll understand it in the future."

"And why are you telling me all this?"

"In addition to some people who know me, I also want some subordinates when war breaks out. After all I can't participate in it with just myself. It's just a suicide~."

"Damn it! I'm involved in something I shouldn't be doing!"

"Now, now. Don't be so hard on yourself. Because of your skill, I will pull you sooner or later~. By the way..." Elexa spoke happily but suddenly stopped.

"Why are you...!?" Petter who wanted to ask what happened heard the voice of a woman inside his head.

'Aegina Island.'

"What was that!?"

"Are you an idiot? That's Athena's voice. He was tired of waiting and now showed me the direction where the monster was."

"..."

"Ah~. It would be hard to pull him out even if we knew where he was." Elexa suddenly clapped twice and a cloaked man suddenly appeared beside her without Petter's knowledge. Petter tightened his grip on his spear to get ready for battle.

"Shadows. Prepare the woman. It's time for her to go on stage."

"Understand me, sir." With those words, he disappeared as quickly as he appeared.

"Who is that?"

"My precious pawn~."
