Highschool Dxd: The Neglected Transcendent Soul

chapter 10: a vengeful soul

As I sensed something off within Issei's body, a strange and unexpected sensation washed over me—an intrusion into the very core of his being. Before I could fully comprehend what was happening, I found myself plunged into Issei's mind space, a surreal realm tinged with echoes of his consciousness.

Me:What do we have here

I remarked casually, my voice resonating within the mental landscape.

Me:The Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig y Goch. You looked better in the books.

A flicker of recognition passed through the ethereal form of Ddraig, the ancient and powerful dragon spirit bound within Issei.

Ddraig:Who are you...

Ddraig began, his voice echoing with uncertainty before realization dawned.

Ddraig:Wait, Kousei?

I raised an eyebrow, surprised by his recognition.

Me:You... you know me?

I asked cautiously, the implications of our encounter stirring a mixture of curiosity and apprehension within me.

Ddraig's response was laced with remorse and resignation.

Ddraig:I've seen the things this useless host has done

Ddraig admitted, his tone heavy with regret.

Ddraig:apologize for his actions.

I shook my head, dismissing the need for apologies.

Me:You have nothing to do with it, Ddraig,

I reassured him, a hint of sympathy coloring my voice.

Me:issei's choices are his own.

Ddraig regarded me with a mixture of curiosity and contemplation, the weight of our shared circumstances hanging in the air between us.

Ddraig:What brings you here, Kousei?

Ddraig inquired, his eye metaphorical though they were searching mine for answers.

I hesitated, grappling with the complexities of our encounter within this surreal mental space.

"I seek justice," I replied firmly, my voice resonating with conviction.

Me:Those who have wronged me must face the consequences of their actions.

Ddraig regarded me with a knowing gaze, understanding the depths of my resolve.

Ddraig:vengeance can be a dangerous path

Ddraig cautioned, his wisdom tempered by centuries of existence.

Ddraig:But I sense a righteous fire within you.

I nodded, acknowledging the bullshit in his words.

Me:I will not rest until those responsible for my suffering are held accountable

I declared, the echoes of my determination reverberating within the mental confines of Issei's mind.

Ddraig regarded me with a newfound respect, a silent acknowledgment of our shared pursuit of justice.

Ddraig;Very well, Kousei

Ddraig said, his voice carrying the weight of ancient wisdom.

As Ddraig's eyes widened in astonishment, his voice tinged with disbelief, I couldn't help but relish the opportunity to unveil the truth behind my existence within Issei's mind space.

Ddraig:How are you alive?

Ddraig exclaimed, his incredulity palpable in the echoes of his voice.

I smirked, a sense of dark amusement coloring my response.
