The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

Three hundred million yen was instantly deducted from Rias's bank card, and the next second a bracelet appeared out of thin air in front of her. Rias did not sense any spatial energy fluctuations, and there was no magic power flowing on the bracelet. From Rias's point of view, it was just a fancy bracelet with a sense of technology.

The appearance of this item made Rias believe in the system about 70% of the time, but this was not enough.

"Akeno—come here and help me test something."

Doctor [Tallulah has been imprisoned in Chernobog. Chernobog now belongs to Rhodes Island, and reconstruction work has begun.]

Koya: [Congratulations. How did you deal with the members of the Reunion Movement?]

Doctor: [All those who committed murder, looting, and arson will be brought to justice. However, those disciplined yeti squads and guerrillas under Elena and the Patriot, who have committed no illegal acts, have been incorporated into the city defense forces. Koya, Rhodes Island's capture of Che City is truly thanks to your presence. Your presence, this 'behemoth,' siding with us, has given us the leverage to negotiate with Ursus and the Flame Nation.]

Keya: [Sure, if you need any help, feel free to contact me.]

Fujiwara Chika [Koya Koya~~ You're in the group too? I miss you so much. ]

Koya [Didn't we just meet a few days ago? Are you missing me again?]

Fujiwara Chika [We hope to always be by your side. ]

The only ones in the chat group who have had negative distance contact with Koya so far are the girls from the Doomsday World. The constant conversations in the chat group make the other girls feel like they have eaten dog food, which is very annoying!

Koya: "Come to think of it, didn't the system say that after I joined the group, they would change the way items are sold in the mall to prevent me from asking you for items? Has it been changed yet?"

Jizi: "Oh, really, I remember that this happened, but the mall hasn't changed."

[Because it's too troublesome, I won't change it. Besides, the host, Koya, doesn't seem like that kind of person, so let's keep it as it is.]

Keya: [This system is getting smarter and smarter. It used to only say a few words in my mind for a month, but now it can actually answer questions on its own.]

Fujimaru Tachibana: "Indeed! Let's not talk about the system for now. Koya, help! If you have time, please come to Chaldea! Artemis is going crazy. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she stole the Holy Grail and came looking for you."

Koya: "Uh, I get it. But besides going to Mafuyu and the others' world on my own initiative, I need an invitation to go to other worlds."

Fujimaru Tachibana: "Ah... so that's why I'm here. Summoning you once will cost me a lot of Saint Quartz."

[The system is now stable, and a cooperative relationship has been established with the hosts' worlds. The materials required for future travels will be greatly reduced.]

Koya: [What about my time?]

[Except for long-duration missions, time passes synchronously——]

"Rias, where did you get this?"

Akeno looked at the damaged bracelet on the coffee table with curiosity. The energy shield released by this bracelet was completely different from the magic power used by demons, nor was it the holy power used by angels and fallen angels. Akeno put this thing on the dummy used in daily training, and bombarded it for five minutes before breaking the energy shield.

"Akeno... I think I got the golden finger from the light novel. What do you think I need most right now?"

"Artifact?"

"No, it shouldn't be a divine artifact. Divine artifacts are all made by gods, and you can more or less sense some special energy in them."

"Hmm. I don't know what you've gained, but isn't power what you lack most right now? If you possessed the power of a demon king, you could cancel the engagement whenever you wanted."

In fact, Rias had been slightly strengthened when she obtained the system, because in addition to the mall items, the most basic ability of this cloud-raising system is sharing. However, Koya's Lv.4 ability was shared with Rias, which only made her slightly stronger, about one-tenth. But such strength is far from enough to face the subsequent tests.

"you're right!"

[System, can you filter out the products that are most conducive to my growth? ]

[Sifting - Confirming the host's situation, starting to search for related products based on compatibility - Search completed! ]

[Item: Demon Pillar Baal (Power): One of Solomon's seventy-two demon pillars, it grants the purchaser the power of destruction. Price: XXXXXXXXX]

[Product: Demon Blood: Grants the purchaser demonic bloodline. If the purchaser already possesses demonic bloodline, bloodline purification will be performed. Price: XXXXXXXXX]

[Product: Red Dragon Power: Replaces the original heart with the Dragon Core, granting the purchaser the Dragon Factor. Price: XXXXXXXX]

"Akeno, you think I should buy that?"

"Well, can't I have them all?"

"According to the system, I didn't buy these items for myself, but for the Cloud-Raised Hero, Koya, in the system. The abilities I gained were shared with him. Currently, he can only share two abilities."

"In that case, I recommend the Demon Pillar and the Power of the Red Dragon."

"Just as I thought. Then... Krypton Gold Activation!"

Chapter 206: Urgent Mission

[It has been detected that the newly loaded items are highly compatible with the original items and will begin automatic integration. The power of destruction and the power of the red dragon will be integrated into the black dragon template. The specific effects are left to the host to explore.]

Koya, who was having dinner with the hostess of abundance, Aisi and Lefiya, suddenly heard the voice of the system. Although the voice came suddenly, it was so pleasant to the ears, because Koya knew that he had become stronger again. Aisi, who was sitting on Koya's right, reacted even more violently. For some reason, Koya became more attractive in her eyes, the kind of attraction that made her want to draw her sword and fight him for three hundred rounds on the spot.

"Um... Aisi, why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little panicked."

Aisi's eyes were terrifying now, like a hunter spotting a rare prey, and Koya could clearly see the relentless determination hidden in them. Was he going to get beaten again?

"Koya, let's go have a fight later, okay?"

"Can I say something bad?"

"..."

Ais didn't answer, merely staring at Koya. It was clear she was saying no. Koya resignedly stirred the seafood pasta in front of him, knowing full well he'd probably get another beating if he brought it back. Sure, he was currently Level 4, with the strength of a Level 5; but Ais was only Level 6, the kind of adventurer who pushed each level to its limit before leveling up. He couldn't possibly defeat her.

Actually, getting beaten wasn't unacceptable. After all, in his dreams, he'd been pinned to the ground and hammered by Hercules quite a few times. But was being beaten by his master the same as being beaten by his wife? Being pinned to the ground and beaten by his wife was humiliating! And ever since Koya had grown up, Aisi hadn't held back. She'd always gone all out, and the scenes weren't exactly brutal, but they were unbearable to watch.

"Let's go to my clan later. There are a lot of ruins there."

"it is good."

Koya [Who in my family understands? I was beaten for no apparent reason.]

Keqing [Good grief! I suggest beating Miss Aisi up again.]

Jizi [This time I support Keqing and give her another beating. ]

Koya: [You guys... forget it, I'm going to sleep first, hiss. Aisi's attack was really strong. Honestly, that sword strike really scared me. It just grazed my waist.]

Kirisu Mafuyu [Koya, are you okay? ]

At midnight, Ais left with Lefiya, contented. Koya lay on his bed, a look of despair on his face. He'd undoubtedly been defeated again, but this time, he'd battled with Ais for nearly an hour, which was a significant improvement. He opened the chat group, hoping for comfort from the beautiful girls, but they all seemed to be eager for Ais to teach him a lesson, which was heartbreaking. Fortunately, Manfuyu and the others were as kind as ever.

"Rias? How are you feeling now?"

"...Very good. Honestly, I didn't expect this so-called system to give me such a huge boost. My strength is now at least three times stronger than before. I should have reached the ceiling of a high-level demon. If I can master the power of destruction, I might be able to reach the level of a demon king."

"Is that so? Then congratulations, you finally have a chance to resist."

"Yes—I will never marry that Lin Fei from the Phoenix family!"

[Ding—Anomaly detected, anomaly detected. Communicating with world consciousness, confirmation complete. Deviation of 40%, issuing emergency missions—]

Lin Fei Phoenix, the fourth son of the pureblooded, superior demon Phoenix family, was born to the head of the Phoenix family and a woman from the Yan nation. Due to his impure bloodline, he was not valued by his family. Originally born as Lin Fei, he inherited his mother's name. However, at the age of six, he awakened an unnamed Divine Destroyer. This artifact appears to enhance immortality and the Phoenix Flame, and is considered the most suitable artifact for the Phoenix family. After demonstrating his talent, he was taken into the family by the head of the Phoenix family and given the surname Phoenix.

Lin Fei is currently undefeated in the younger generation of Hell's ranking game, having won thirty-seven consecutive games and currently ranking 145th. He is a prominent figure among the demons and is also Rias's fiancé. However, Rias is dissatisfied with the engagement and, through the mediation of her brother, reaches an agreement with the Phoenix Family to use a war game to determine whether to fulfill the engagement.

"So... this Lin Fei is the reincarnated person from the light novel?"

[Yes, and he has already changed several key plot points, causing great harm to the world.]

"What kind of existence is a reincarnated person?"

Simply put, reincarnated beings without the world's permission are viruses that cause errors in the world's operation and must be eliminated upon discovery. It was discovered that Lin Fei possessed a dangerous system called the Harem System, which rewards him with each successful mating with a woman. However, perhaps to conceal himself from the world, he avoided the heroines blessed by the world.

"Hmm—sounds a lot like you."

[Don't insult us! These subsystems of ours all came from legitimate channels. Don't compare us to those thief systems. According to the feedback from the world's will, this Lin Fei already possesses the strength of a demon king and is deeply involved with the world. We must take action immediately, and strike hard!]

"So, you issued that emergency mission?"

A male voice suddenly appeared beside Rias. Turning around, she saw Koya sitting next to him in pajamas with some bruises on his face. Rias almost laughed out loud when she saw Koya's outfit, but fortunately she held it back, otherwise Koya's expression would have been even more melancholy.

"Hello, can you give me a room so I can change my clothes?"

"Okay, Akeno, please take this gentleman to the lounge."

"Ok."

In the lounge, Koya did not take out any spare clothes. Instead, he took off his pajamas, and the next second, a luxurious black dress appeared on Koya's body after being wrapped in black mist. Some red lines appeared on the originally pure black dress. The red lines did not affect the overall beauty of the clothes, but made Koya look more like a villain.

After Koya finished dressing and exited the lounge, the two girls present were struck by the depths of his appearance. They were momentarily dazed, but a closer look at the dark circles under his eyes nearly made them laugh. Honestly, those dark circles were quite unsightly. I wonder if Aisi had any special abilities. With Koya's current physique (the default being a Prime Black Dragon in the other world), even a broken limb would heal in a second or two, yet those dark circles had persisted for hours.

Just as Koya was about to say something to ease his awkwardness, a scarlet magic circle unfolded before him, and a tall, silver-haired, queen-like woman in a maid uniform stepped out. The maid looked a bit cold, her aura at odds with the uniform. She looked like a queen, yet she wore the attire of a maid who meant service. But otherwise, Koya felt she was beautiful, a refined and beautiful woman.

"Are you entertaining guests, young lady? Nice to meet you. I serve the Gremory family, my name is Grayfia, and I'm looking forward to your guidance."

"Hello, Koya Constantine. I'm supposed to be a friend of Rias's, and I'm here to help her with a small problem."

"Grayfia, was it your own idea to come here? Or was it the idea of the whole family? Or... was it your brother's idea?"

Rias narrowed her eyes and looked at Grayfia, whose mood was changing. She seemed to be very unwelcome to her arrival.

"all of them."

"I understand. Akeno, go call Koneko and the others over."

Rias sighed. She'd only just come of age, and Phoenix was already impatient. But this time, she had a big surprise for them!

"Grayfia, according to the rules of the ranking game, I am allowed to seek external aid, right?"

“Yes, but only if you have a close relationship with the helper.”

After Grayfia finished speaking, the two women in the room simultaneously looked at Koya. Koya was quite confused about the current situation. Not knowing what was going on, he remained silent and sat on the sofa opposite Rias.

"Koya, come sit here."

"Ok?"

Rias patted the empty seat next to her. Koya had also heard their conversation and knew that Rias intended to show her "close" relationship with him, so he did not refuse Rias' invitation and sat next to her.

After Koya sat down, a warm and embracing body pressed against him. Rias held Koya's right hand in her arms and said to Grayfia.

"This is the husband I chose myself. Shouldn't he be able to join me in the ranking game as a reinforcement?"

"...Of course you can, but are you sure you want to do this, Miss? Trampling on the Phoenix family's reputation will lead to a life-or-death struggle."

"Grayfia, you've watched me grow up. Do you think I care about this?"

"I understand. I will begin to explain once your followers are gathered."

After saying that, Grayfia retreated into the shadows and stopped talking, quietly waiting for time to pass. Koya and Rias closed their eyes tacitly and leaned back on the sofa. Of course, their current posture did not change, this was done for Grayfia to see.

In the chat group——

Koya: [So my mission is to kill that time traveler named Lin Fei Phoenix? And then because of the engagement, he'll immediately engage in a battle with me? This mission is fine, the goal is clear, and the progress is smooth. I wish the subsequent missions could be like this too!]

Fujimaru Tachibana [What, who are you implying? ]

Koya [You jumped out on your own, it has nothing to do with me. ]

Rias: "Let's not talk about this for now. How strong are you now, Koya?"

Koya: [Well, right now... my divine domain can cover this island nation beneath my feet. A full-strength attack could wipe it off the map. Compare yourself to the powerful beings in your world and see if that's enough.]

Rias: [The top Demon King class... That's enough! According to the system, Lin Fei has only just entered the Demon King class, and there's a huge gap between him and you. However, the Phoenix family's immortality is very troublesome. Do you have any solutions?]

Koya: [Why is it immortal again?! It's fine that it tortured me in the dungeon, but why do I have to encounter this kind of attribute every time I go on a quest? It shouldn't be a big problem, though. As long as they're not stronger than me, I should be able to suppress this immortal with Divine Domain. I also discovered this when I bombarded those Lakhmu with Divine Domain in Uruk.]

Rias: "That's good."

[Rias's subsystem has already detected the traveler through the world consciousness. He is a small-time character.]

Keya [Your system actually pops up on its own? ]

Doctor: [It feels like I've evolved.]

[I previously turned off the smart module to save energy, but now that I have enough worlds to communicate with and enough items to buy, I've turned it on.]

Koya: [How about telling us more about that time traveler?]

There's nothing much to say about time travelers. Most of them are just puppets controlled by the system, doing whatever they're told to do. But be careful not to let them escape. The system's other functions may be mediocre, but its ability to escape is absolutely top-notch. But don't worry, considering you currently don't have the ability to restrict space, Keya, I'll take action when I capture the system.

Koya: "Then I'll leave it to you~~"
