Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

It's nothing if one of them is known, but once one is exposed it will trigger a chain reaction, exposing all of them, making his identity as a supporting actor questionable.

The solution is simple, as long as no one says it.

But it is easier said than done. He didn't tell them beforehand that the matter should be kept secret, and he couldn't tell them. If he did, it would make them confused. After all, signing a contract with the devil was not a big deal.

In order to convey the message of confidentiality, he addressed Himejima Akeno and Tacheng Koneko as senior and junior, and even added words like "first meeting" on purpose, which should make them notice this information. The key issue is whether Tacheng Koneko is willing to keep it secret.

There is no need to worry about Himejima Akeno, she is a pervert. Although she has never said it, and although it is not a good idea to say so, she is indeed a pervert. This is the conclusion he has drawn after more than a year of observation.

Himejima Akeno has a... mysterious obsession with backstabbing her master. To be precise, she likes the feeling of betrayal, or even a little bit bichi. She really has a good relationship with him, and she really wants to backstab Rias. Even if you say that Himejima Akeno will deliberately seduce Rias' future husband, he will believe it.

He once heard Himejima Akeno say that she was a shrine maiden, which sounded like nothing wrong, but he seriously doubted whether Himejima Akeno chose to be a shrine maiden because she wanted to do a lot of things in front of the statue in the future to satisfy her sense of guilt.

So Himejima Akeno doesn't need to worry. She is very smart and can understand what he means at once. Although she will be confused, as long as it does not cause serious harm to Rias, she will definitely not mind hiding this from Rias to satisfy her sense of guilt.

This guy Yuto Kiba is a bit difficult to deal with. He and Yuto Kiba were beaten yesterday. He said that this was the first time he met Yuto Kiba, which was a bit of a cover-up.

So he chose to retreat in order to advance, betting on his sister's concern for him, and directly said that he and Kiba Yuto knew each other in class, thereby hinting at it. Kiba Yuto was very smart and a good person, and he understood it immediately. As long as he could give a reasonable explanation later, Kiba Yuto would definitely help him hide the matter.

Afterwards, Claire rushed over, and he went with the flow and solved the most difficult Tacheng Kitten in one go. After more than a year of understanding, he knew that Tacheng Kitten was a hypocrite. He just hinted to her that she should keep it a secret. Even if she understood, she might not agree. The probability was 50-50, but with the eye attack, the probability of her agreeing was 91-1.

Although he was on the verge of defeat several times, the invincible Shadow Power Dragon Set Secret Skill won him victory once again and retained his status as a dragon set.

What if you don’t win the bet once?

Guess why the flow of magic power in the magic circle slowed down? Of course, it’s because if he fails, he will use the ultimate trick of the invincible Shadow Power, time stop and memory deletion to force a crushing victory.

Chapter 47: The Undetectable Demonic Chess Piece

"Anyway, this is what happened. Tell us what you think about Sid joining us."

In the corner, Cid looked coldly at Rias talking to her followers, thinking about how he could escape.

I originally thought that what Rias said about making a decision based on other people's opinions was a tactful refusal, but in this situation, it seems that Rias really intends to take a vote to decide whether to agree to his sister's bundling sale request.

In fact, there is no need to worry about deciding him by voting. He is quite confident in his disguise and is confident that no one will vote for him.

How could a lady like Rias, who comes from a top-notch family, accept an ordinary person like him who has poor talent, weak strength and no special features?

Anyone with a bit of common sense would not agree to let him join, but now his sister is doing bundling sales, and if she wants Claire to join, she must let him join as well, which makes this aspect more possible.

But it was not a big problem. With the help of Claire, his profits outweighed his losses, making the deal possible. But what if his reputation was affected?

Rumors like "The eldest daughter of the Gremory family actually chose such an ordinary person as her dependent. Miss Rias's vision is really getting worse and worse", "Such weak strength will really not become a breakthrough in the ranking competition?", etc., under the influence of these rumors, can this deal still be reached?

can!

Although it sounds far-fetched, if what Himejima Akeno and the others said about Rias is true, then it is really possible that Rias will accept him.

He once heard Himejima Akeno and the others talk about Rias. In their words, Rias was someone who didn't care what other people thought of her.

She herself doesn't care, and her followers are even less likely to care about it. Moreover, in his communication with Rias' followers, he can see that each of them seems to have an unknown past. To reject them because of reputation issues is to deny themselves.

He didn't care about other people's opinions, the gains outweighed the losses, and with the goodwill he had gained over the past year, he couldn't imagine how Himejima Akeno and the others could disagree.

"I agree, Sid looks like a very interesting little brother."

"I have no problem with that. Sid is very good and I believe he will be a good partner."

"Ah."

You see, in more than a year, no matter how boring he was, he had raised my favorability to above friendly.

Faced with this scene that was enough to make an ordinary extra ecstatic, Sid only felt regret in his heart and sighed.

If he was really an ordinary extra, he would of course be happy about this situation, because by becoming Rias's follower, he had all the nobility, blood, and power at once, and he had made a comeback from an extra, so he could not be a extra at all.

But the problem lies here, Sid is just a supporting role which fits Shadow's identity as a powerful shadow master, and if there is a problem with supporting role Sid, Shadow's identity as a powerful shadow master will also be in problem.

I have to think of a way to ruin this matter and then run away.

Thinking of this, Sid watched as Rias finished her discussion with Claire and turned her attention to him, and his expression immediately changed.

His body was trembling slightly, he was swallowing madly, and he didn't know where to look.

"Cid, welcome to join my army. From now on, you will be my soldier, Rias Gremory. Please give me your guidance in the future."

It's too early for you to be happy. I'm not interested in tying a tracking device to myself.

Looking at Rias, Sid thought silently in his heart.

"Thank you, thank you. I will try my best to fight for Rias-senpai in the future. It's just that..."

Pretending to be very grateful and excited for being recognized, but using "just" as a turn, and following this turn lowering your head so that others cannot see your face.

"Can someone like me really be a good soldier for you, Rias-senpai? Otherwise, Rias-senpai, you should not accept me as your retainer. Someone like me..."

The voice stopped here. It was not that Sid did not want to continue speaking, but Claire looked at him threateningly. When he was looked at by Claire, he could feel how angry she was, so he had to shut up.

But it doesn't matter, now that things have come to this, Rias should be able to see what kind of person he is pretending to be.

That's right, he has been disguising himself since he entered the door, pretending to be a man with low self-esteem, cowardice, social phobia, and lack of the heart of a strong man.

If you don't care about talent or what others say, then you should care about me holding you back.

Lack of talent can be compensated through hard work and physical transformation, but a person with character or mental problems can become a loophole that drags down everyone at a critical moment.

Seeing me behave like this, you will definitely hesitate to accept me as your retainer, right, Rias Gremory, hahahaha, hahaha…

At this moment, although he was exuding negative emotions such as nervousness, uneasiness, and helplessness, Sid's face was curled up in a sneer.

“Hahaha, Sid, it’s just like what Akeno said, you’re an interesting little brother.

I will introduce my 'bishop' Gaspard to you later. I believe you will have a lot in common. "

A chuckle broke the wild laughter in Sid's heart. He raised his head hurriedly, only to see Rias covering her mouth and laughing softly, as if she was amused by Sid's behavior just now.

Sid wanted to continue saying something, but when he saw the look from Claire, his body froze and he could only pretend unwillingly.

a plan, failed.

“Really…really?

Thank you, Rias-senpai!

I will be a good servant of Rias-senpai from now on."

"Okay, Sid, here you go, this is a soldier chess piece, let me see how many you can absorb."

After laughing enough, Rias took out a few red chess pieces of different appearances from her pocket, handed one to Claire, and placed the rest in front of Cid.

"Um... Rias, please give me the soldier pieces. I know that stronger followers require more pieces to transform."

Looking at the 'castle' chess piece in her hand, Claire hesitated for a moment before finally saying this.

Although she didn't say it, after trying for so long and still not seeing any outstanding qualities from Sid, she was actually about to give up the idea that her brother was actually very outstanding.

Now she just wants to find a good future for her younger brother, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life and will not die from any accident.

In order to achieve this goal, she even sold herself, and used the bundled sales method to secure the noble title and bloodline of the underworld for her brother. At that time, as a link between the kingdom and the devil, her brother would also be granted a title by the kingdom.

Chess pieces will change races and bring powers. Different chess pieces will bring different bonuses. Among all the chess pieces, the one with the biggest bonus to the Magic Swordsman should be the castle.

Of course, she could bet on whether her brother could absorb all eight chess pieces. If he absorbed all eight soldier chess pieces, the bonus would definitely be the most exaggerated among all the chess pieces, but as mentioned before, she had already given up.

So she wanted to let herself absorb the soldier pieces and give the castle, which had the biggest bonus, to her brother. This made her feel a little sorry for Rias. After meeting her several times, she could see that Rias was a good person.

"Claire, don't worry. This castle chess piece was specially made by my brother at the request of His Highness Beelzebub. It is a mutant chess piece."

Rias didn't realize Claire's true intention and gave an explanation with a smile. After hearing this explanation, Claire had nothing to say and could only accept it.

"Remember, you two, after absorbing the chess pieces, you will be under my command, Rias Gremory. I will not treat my followers as servants, I will treat you as family. If you treat your followers as servants like other demons, you will be stabbed to death by your own followers sooner or later. Hahahaha... I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, don't say this to anyone."

“…Hahaha, yes, yes!”

Rias once again emphasized what it meant to absorb the devil's chess piece, and finally made a joke to ease the tense atmosphere on the field and express her closeness to Claire.

Claire's body paused for a moment, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly covered it up and smiled.

No one noticed what was wrong with Claire just now, except... Sid who was watching everything nearby.

After careful observation and a little analysis, I suddenly understood.

Based on his understanding of his sister, based on the action just now, Sid dared to guarantee that Claire had definitely thought about finding an opportunity to secretly kill Rias and take advantage of her for free if Rias made Claire unhappy.

After figuring it out, Sid had a lot of questions in his mind. When did his sister become so cruel? Why did she become so strong after going to the World Battlefield? Why did she say not to trust anyone in the World Battlefield?

As everyone thought about it, a red light flashed across Claire's body and demon wings grew behind her, and everyone's eyes were on Sid again.

Feeling everyone's gazes, Sid just silently picked up a chess piece. After a red flash, something grew behind Sid... nothing grew.

"Huh!?"

Rias followed closely with a puzzled sound, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Why, why can't I sense the chess piece in your body."

Ignoring everyone's gazes, Rias asked this question after closing her eyes for a while.

"I, I don't know, Rias-senpai, is there something wrong?"

In response to Rias' question, Sid pretended to be confused, puzzled, and uneasy to answer Rias.

Seeing Sid like this, Rias gave up asking Sid to give the answer and instead took out a book from the drawer behind her and started looking through it.

After flipping through the pages for a while, Rias seemed to see something, breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to that page to show everyone.

"I know why. Look, it says here that some people in this world need several days or even more than ten days to transform into demons. But other than that, there is no big problem. It's just that their bodies are not suitable and they need to spend more time."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Claire finally relaxed after hearing this explanation. She had already sold herself out. If she was told at this time that Sid couldn't become a demon, she would really want to kill.

"That's great. I thought I was going to disappoint my sister again, but it turns out it just takes a little time."

No, that is the wrong answer.

Looking at everyone so happy, Sid showed a relieved expression on the surface, but in his heart he denied the answer that Rias had just found.

The truth is that he never absorbed it, and the devil chess piece was kept in his body and isolated.

After all, not to mention the positioning function of the chess piece, just based on the fact that if Rias takes him as her follower, she might be backfired and die from him, it is impossible for him to absorb the devil chess piece.

Who do you think he is? Not to mention Rias, even if Rias's brother, one of the four great demons, dared to take him as his follower, he would still be stuffed to death in minutes.

The man who made this chess piece is quite capable. He couldn't find a universal reason to explain why he couldn't use the devil chess piece, so he delayed for a while. He was not in a hurry. Ten days was enough for him to come up with a way to ruin this matter.

"Okay, now that there are no more problems with Sid, Claire, let me tell you about the ranking game we're about to start."

After making sure that there was no problem on Cid's side, Rias began to talk to Claire about another matter.

Chapter 48 The Storm is Coming

"I disagree."

"But as my dependent, Yiwu originally participated in the ranking game with me."

"Then let my brother give up and leave the fighting to me. There is no need for my brother to fight."

"This... Claire, you can't protect Sid forever. There's no real death in the ranking game. Just treat this as training."

"Rias, have you ever experienced the feeling of having your loved ones almost die because of your own fault?

I've experienced it, so I won't allow myself to watch Sid get hurt again and I can't do anything, even if it's in the game."

As he walked on the road leaving the school, the conversation between Claire and Rias in the Rias team activity room echoed in his mind, and a trace of cold sweat ran down Cid's forehead.

His sister...seems to have some problem.

Claire exploded after Rias announced that three days later, Rias and her followers would play a ranking game with her fiancé to determine whether the marriage contract between her and her fiancé was necessary.

Claire wanted to exclude Sid and fight for him, but this was of course not allowed.

But in the end, under Claire's strong request, Rias agreed to Claire's request. This time, she used the reason that his demon chess piece was not fully absorbed and let him watch the ranking game from the side.

Of course, this is not important. It is even a question whether the demon chess piece will still be in his body in three days. Claire's request is completely unnecessary. What he really cares about is Claire's attitude.

Honestly speaking, ever since his sister dragged him to the Impossible City, he had always felt that there was something wrong with Claire's mental state.

Specific manifestations include but are not limited to the second-year syndrome, imagining that one's right hand has some mysterious power, wrapping bandages on the hand, and writing words that give one a headache at first glance.

Now there is one more thing: his sister seems to have an inexplicable paranoia towards him.

Considering what his sister said before about breaking his legs and locking him up, he was now a little worried whether his sister was serious about it.

So…whether he should strike first or break Claire’s legs.

Forget it. With current technology, a broken leg can be healed with some money and the world. Let's first think about how to get the demon chess piece out of his body, and make it so that it can't be put back in once it's out.
