Rise of Strongest Dragon Emperor

18 Chapter 18(1/3)

Lucifer's Estate.

Alexander had to admit that this was probably the longest and best sleep he had in recent months. He felt wonderfully refreshed and rested, much to his own joy. Yesterday was a really tough and hard day, not to mention it had brought a couple of changes in Alexander`s life, but not unpleasant at all. Because he could never call his new daughters Illya and Sakura unpleasant ,no he would never even think about it, especially after he glanced at his sides to see both of them sleeping, using Alexander`s shoulders as pillows for sleep. Both were completely at peace and had even blissful smiles on their faces. Even Alex couldn`t help but smile at them and pet their heads caringly. Sakura responded with a whispering whine, while Illya nuzzled closer and hugged her papa tighter.

Both of them were so different and yet had many similarities as well. After Alex took care of all the clothing and house arrangements, along with cleaning up Sakura from those worms and nightmarish memories, both girls revealed their real selves.

Illya was an energetic and upbeat little bundle, easily excitable and with a bit of temper, but very kind and caring none the less. She was active and didn`t like to stand around without doing something, but she did enjoy when Alex was holding her and playing with her or petting her head, like now. And she also had the appetite that could put to shame both Arturia, who was a pretty much a glutton, and Koneko with her sweet tooth. But that wasn`t anything surprising, considering that Illya was a Dragon, even if in human`s form, and she was growing, so she needed a lot of food. Not to mention that she was?really?strong, as her hug was equal to Koneko`s hug strength, and that`s her not even trying.

Sakura, on the other hand, was a bit shy and timid girl, getting scarred when not around someone whom she knew. She was also kind-hearted and caring as well, but she was not as excitable as Illya, preferring to be a bit more reserved and act in accord. Still, she didn`t feel herself safe when not around someone whom she trusted and cared for, like Alex and Illya. When Alex told Sakura that he won`t give her away in orphanage and adopt as his own, she really did cry on his shoulder, hugging her new daddy. Illya was on cloud nine when she learned that Sakura will be her little sister and slightly scared Sakura by her upbeat personality and response, but once Illya saw that Sakura was a little shy, she calmed down and started acting like a big sister, caringly and patiently. And Sakura quickly warmed up to her and Alex.

Both girls also have formed friendly relations with Grayfia, as she really did enjoy the two girls and cared about the children no less then Alex. Raynare also became a quick friend with Illya and Sakura, being awed by their cuteness. As for Rias.. His future bride has made it clear that she will tolerate them and even tried to get along with Illya and Sakura. But, much to her own dismay and chagrin, her attempts resulted in Illya biting her hand for scaring Sakura. Alex, unfortunately, was forced to scold Illya for such behavior, but that was only upfront, as he did praise her for being protective about Sakura and not giving into Rias` attempts to befriend.

Come to think of it, now Alex has remembered that there was something off about this whole situation. Alex searched up in his memory and remembered that he sent Sakura and Illya in their shared room, connected to his, while he was in his own room. And then he recalled that he trouble with getting any sleep, but then he simply began sleeping like log. But he was sure that girls were in their room, so..

Caringly petting both of their heads, Alex called to both of them.

"Illya, Sakura, it`s time to get up, sleepyheads." Alex caringly called to them, getting a combined whine and retort.

"Five more minutes.." Both of them responded at the same time, giving Alex a chuckle.

"If we don`t get up now, you`ll both miss your breakfast and cartoons they run at this time." Alex reasoned, getting a reaction from Illya, who shot her eyes up, and Sakura, who rose her head slowly as well.

Both looked highly interested in both, especially Illya, as a growl was heard already from her stomach, making little girl blush a bit in embarrassment. Alex chuckled and placed on both of their heads morning kisses.

"Good morning, girls." He greeted both of them properly.

"Good morning, papa/daddy." Illya and Sakura retorted, and then an angry whine was heard and Alex turned to where it was heard.

Alex looked pass Illya and saw lying on the floor stark naked Rias, sleeping, but clearly very uncomfortably. He wondered just how did she ended up on the floor like that and decided to ask his girls about it.

"Girls, is this yours doing?" Alex asked with no anger, but with an amusement in his voice. "And why are you not in your beds, young ladies?" Both Illya and Sakura widened their eyes as their daddy remembered they were supposed to be in their beds.

Sakura was first to break.

"W-We were lonely and we didn`t want t-to sleep a-alone. I-It felt s-scary sleeping without daddy." Sakura looked like she was about to cry, but Alex simply hugged his younger daughter.

"Aw, Sakura, if you wanted to sleep with me, you should just asked and I would allow you two." Alex cheered his little girl, getting a pout from Illya, as she wasn`t getting papa`s attention.

Alex caught a glimpse of his older daughter pouting and hugged her as well, making her change her face from pout into one of smile. Alex then decided to ask his older daughter directly.

"Illya, did you push Rias out of the bed?" Alex looked in surprised face of his daughter and he smirked a little. "Ow, so it really was you? Your eyes can`t lie, little sweetie." Alex ticked his little girls, getting a giggle out of them.

Once Illya calmed down, she spoke firmly.

"She was clinging to papa and not allowing us to sleep with you." Illya was defending herself and Sakura. "She said that Sakura and I should get used to our own rooms and not claim papa for themselves, as she was papa`s future wife." Illya huffed and puffed. "So I moved her away from papa."

Alex mentally sighed and made a note to give Rias a piece of his mind for such treatment of his daughters. Not only did she insult them and scarred Sakura, but to so rudely send away little girls after they`ve been through nightmare.. Another good reason to kill Rias for him. Alex petted Illya`s head and kissed her forehead.

"Great job, Illya." Alex praised his daughter for actions. "I`ll tell you what: as my apology for not seeing your want to sleep with me and thanks for removing her out, I`ll buy both of you something really sweet. Does that sound good to you?"

Both girls nodded eagerly and hugged their daddy, with Alex hugging them back. He may`ve just adopted them both, but he damn sure loves both of them and if anything were to happen to them..

"Do I get something sweet too~?" Suddenly, Alex was forced to turn to Rias, who was looking with seductive smirking and revealing her absolute nakedness, awaiting his response. "Don`t you think it`s only appropriate to treat all of your girls equally?"

"Actually, I do think so." Alex suddenly agreed, drawing Rias` and his daughters` surprised looks, while he was mentally casting a teleportation circle beneath Rias. "Only problem is that you are not one of them." And with that, teleportation circle appeared underneath Rias and she immediately fell in to it.

"Um, daddy?" Sakura drew her father`s attention. "Where did she go?"

"Don`t mind me, but I too would like to know to which marsh did you subjugated her to?"?Lucifer appeared as a ghost.

"Oh, nowhere to worried about." Alex simply replied. "I simply set her where she could buy some clothes to herself. Do you remember that pretty shop we were yesterday?" Both nodded, Lucifer booming with laughter at a sheer thought of Rias Gremory, stark naked in a boutique and without a single yen to pay for clothes.

"Oh, I wish a could see the bitch`s face when she.. Boy, I think you`ve missed on this one."?Lucifer got a bit serious.?"I mean, doesn`t that mall opens up at 10 Am.?"

'Really? Aw well.. At least I got rid of her for a moment. After my last upgrade of my barriers here, there is no way in Hell she can get here through teleportation." Alex reasoned. 'By the way, I forgot to ask you about something.'

"Ask right away, kid."?Lucifer said.

'On Devil`s scales, how well do you think I fare at my current strength? I would like to know at what level I stand at the moment.'

"Hm.. With your current powers as a Nephilim, I would safely place you in the lower part of mid-tier Ultimate Devil-class, considering that you have 8 wings, which should be comparable to those."?Lucifer reasoned.?"10 wings would be enough to go up against a Satan-class at your level, but not the current 4 Satans. As for 12.. I would consider you ready to give one hell of a beating to most creatures in this world, but ultimately, you would be practically reaching my previous power level, which would be enough for you to battle against Sirzechs in his true form, but I do have my doubts about you winning it."

'What`s with that "True Form" you`ve just mentioned? Is it some sort of his transformation?'

"Yeah, it is. It`s a forbidden form that Zekram once discovered after I`ve granted him permission to use Power of Destruction. Basically, this form is the living embodiment of Power of Destruction and it increases Sirzechs` powers to the point when he was 10 times stronger than I was when we battled."?Lucifer explained.?"Don`t get the wrong idea of Sirzechs` overwhelming power. The single reason he was able to defeat me is that I was exhausted after battling God and if I were at my fullest, even without my Nephilim powers that God took away, I would`ve taken care of that snob no problem."

'Well, then I`ll just have to become even stronger then you, gramps, if I want to defeat Sirzechs.' Alex reasoned. 'This means that I got to get to work on my new powers.'

"I`m surprised to hear that you are planning to fight Sirzechs eventually."?Lucifer responded to that.?"You never said anything about it up until now. And just what`s your reason to battle the current Lucifer?"

'Reason? That guy has sold my mother to Phenex family, but before he kept her as nothing more but a criminal. He allowed that rotten house to **** and abuse my mother and not to mention that Riser eventually killed her. And now I`m forced to eventually marry his little sister, reinforcing his own status.' Alex angrily explained his reasoning. 'I don`t give a damn if he calls himself a Lucifer or not, but when someone messes with me and my family, that`s when I do give a damn and get serious. I don`t care if he was trying to do the good thing or not, I don`t even care if he justified it or not. What I do care is that this crimson-haired bastard thinks he has the right to dictate me how to live, not giving a damn for what he did to my mother. Are those good enough reasons for you?'

"More than enough."?Lucifer understood his grandson very well.?"I can relate to that myself. Don`t worry, with your determination and sheer potential, you`ll be able to catch up to him with no problem. Only thing that`s required is patience and determination. Even if your Sacred Gear has been destroyed, I`ll be more than happy to help you out, but not at the moment. For now, you should carry on with patience and determination."

'I`ve got both in abundance, believe me.' And with that, Alex rose from his bed with his daughters and walked out of the room with them.

On route to Kuoh Academy. 2 hours later.

After a breakfast and watching cartoons on the TV , Alex ,his daughters and Raynare were now on their way to Kuoh Academy, where he was kindly requested to come by Sona, or, more specifically, by Serafall and Sirzechs. He was even suspended from the lessons and given a legitimate excuse for such, so he couldn`t complain and was simply moving with his daughters, who didn`t want to stay home and were very persistent on letting their daddy show the town. Plus, he did have to buy something sweet to them, after all, so on their way they stopped by and he picked up the ice cream for them, fulfilling their promise. And now both were happily licking it away, Illya concentrated on her vanilla, while Sakura was focused on her chocolate one.

Honestly, he was glad that he was given a day off from school and he wasn`t too worried about him getting a bad rep or decrease in his marks. His marks were all perfect, scoring at the same position as Sona. To tell the truth, he could easily pass all of the exams for second and even third years of Kuoh Academy, all because he already had the entire program covered and recovered when he was back in Russia, due to his eidetic memory and his father, who did get his son a lot of knowledge and stuff to work with. Seriously, the only reason Alex was basically in the Academy was the fact that he needed to socialize more and be a far more open person. That and the fact that he wouldn`t have anything to do in his free time, but that problem was already fixed with his daughters here. They`ll probably demand a whole lot of attention and Alex wouldn`t mind giving it to them. After all, they are his daughters, and if anyone wishes to say otherwise, then he`ll introduce those unfortunate ingrates to Frostmourne`s pointy end.

As Alex was already crossing the school grounds, he could clearly hear all the talk and whispers addressed about him and whom he was walking with. Good think that Sona managed to alter the memories of everyone in the school, so there was no need to hid his new looks. Raynare, in her human form, was staying relatively far away and was subjugated to those rumors. Alex already was hearing the girls talking about him:

"Oh my gosh! It`s the Silver Prince walking with two cutie little girls with him! Look how adorable they look!

"Hold it, why are those two clinging to him so much? Are they his sisters or what?"

"I don`t know, but my do they look absolutely charming! I think I`m in love~!"

"They look more like a young father walking with his daughters! I don`t know about you, but that makes him even sexier and hotter in my book!"

"My, what sight to behold!" Suddenly, before Alex appered the Queen of Perverts, Aika Kiryuu, eying him and his daughters with her glasses. "I never took you for a father material, Black, but damn.. Did you adopt these tow cutie pies or are you simply taking a partake job as babysitter?"

"The former." Alex relied, surprising Aika to no end. "And I would really appreciate if you don`t spoil their little adorable heads with your ideas, Kiryuu."

"Don`t worry, I`m not like those three freaks. I know my limits and when it comes down the family, I tend to shut myself up." Kiryuu honestly responded. "But, seriously, to adopt.. You do realize what happens when girls find out about it?"

"I can imagine, but I don`t actually care, as long as it doesn`t affect Sakura and Illya." Alex petted their heads. "And when it does, then whoever involved might expect some serious trouble."

"I can see that." Aika nodded. "Also, I should probably tell that on the resent popularity poll the girls have chosen you as our new Prince Charming. Congrats on that."

"Yare yare daze.." Alex simply sighed and continued moving forward.

And as he did..

"Damn this bastard! First he gets all the girls` attention by looks, and now with those cute little gals?! Die you Casanova!"

"Doesn`t he have enough attention already?!"

"I bet he is totally into ultra-loli department!" Now, that was a very familiar and irritating voice of Matsuda.

"Hot damn yeah! But I wouldn`t mind taking a closer look at those two cherries!" ..backed by equally annoying Motohama, ogling on Illya. "Uh, I`m so gonna smackin on my junk today.."

And that that moment the air in the entire town just became filled with a killing intent. Alex could deal with shit thrown at him, that`s nothing for him. But.. To openly ogle and perversely think about his?daughters.. That was something that couldn`t be overseen..

As Perverted Duo was planning their activities, Issei came closer to Alex to say hi and Alex used this opportunity.

"Issei, be a friend and look after my girls here for a minute." While Alex was speaking nicely, even Ddraig was terrified at the amount of death in his sentence. "I`ve got some.. education to reign upon certain people."

And with that, Alex set out towards Matsuda and Motohama. Issei looked down on to Alex`s little daughters and decided to stick close to them. Of course, he could feel just what Alex was going to do to both of them and he honestly wasn`t pitying them in the slightest. Some part of him was grossed out by the fact they would fantasize about so little girls, but most of him was simply not giving a shit about it. Seriously, ever since Issei has made his deal with Ddraig and became a full-fledged Dragon, he wasn`t as perverse or rapey as he used to be, far more focused and determined. He had suspicions that turning into a Dragon might affect his personality and view on the world, but to completely reverse from being a pervert was something he didn`t plan doing at all, but in the end, it did come in handy and did well on Hyoudou, as it was evident from the start.

In physical plan, Issei`s body changed completely and he almost didn`t recognize himself at first: he got a higher, reaching Alex`s 182 cm. now; muscles got really worked up and far more developed; his face became more sharper and his hair line extended a bit and was reaching the same level as Sirzechs`, along with bright red color showing off there as well; all of Issei`s senses were much more powerful and sensitive, being able to smell anything in several dozen meters or hear a flapping bird far away and find her with his own vision. But the most interesting a drastic physical change came in form of his own dragon scales, which practically covered his entire body and were reaching up to the face, creating a natural protection on his body and giving him quite the durability as well. Issei`s strength went up to a whole new league, along with his endurance, which allowed him to exercise far more and tougher than before. Seriously, those exercises that Rias set for him were now child`s play. He was actually thinking about asking Alex to grind him up a bit, because he knew that he was a training freak and even without Galeran, that guy wasn`t going to stop pushing himself.

As for his personality, Issei discovered that his mind was now far more focused when he needed it to be and wasn`t wandering off to girls and perverted thoughts as before. He wasn`t as hell bent on seeing boobs and naked ladies, like at all. There was a shift in his personality toward his aggressiveness, such as Issei became more aggressive and he had to contain his anger in check, like when Matsuda and Motohama were bugging him without serious reason. He was just a little away from smashing their skulls together and sending their dead bodies to the river. And he almost did so when they started fantasizing about Asia, which resulted in Issei yelling them off away. Just the nerve those two had to think about?his?Asia.. And that`s where the most frustrating and interesting part came in along: Issei began to look at Asia completely differently, not as his little sister, but as a?girl, like a very, very attractive and?intoxicating?girl. Just one smell of her was almost driving him crazy, being alone with her was seriously a testament to his tenacity and patience, and when she was getting affectionate with him.. It forced Ddraig to punch his host in order to prevent him from making a serious mistake in his life. Really, she was practically the most beautiful and sexiest girl in his life now. Just one look at her and..

Issei snapped out of his daydream and saw that Raynare was now standing along with him, while the girls were simply totally focused on their ice creams. While they did have bad blood between them in the past, right now he was totally cool with the Fallen Angel and had no problems whatsoever to begin with.

Raynare was the first one to speak up.

"Hey, do you know where did Alex and those douches go?" Fallen Angel asked right away, forcing Issei to look around and.. not find them anywhere.

"Huh, come to think of it, I didn`t even notice them leave until now." Issei admitted, until his hearing and nose began to search for them. "Wait, I think they are in the basement and.. Oh man.." Issei paled significantly.

"What? Are hearing something?" Raynare asked him.

"Yeah.. And now I think I`m scarred for life." Issei replied with a gulp. "Damn.. What he just did to them was just.."

"You know, if you keep saying stuff like that, then I`ll only get more curious." Angel pointed out. "Just what the hell did Alex to them?"

"Honestly? I think he went full Inquisition on them." Issei said. "And I mean like not one in Dragon Age, but like that one from Spain, only 3 times worse."

Raynare understood that one perfectly and nodded, gulping as well.

"Okay that explains quite a lot." Raynare decided to change the subject. "So, how`s life treating you? Being a dragon now must be pretty new to you."

"Well, to be fair, I`m really glad that I did that deal with Ddraig and now I feel like I`m who should be." Issei replied. "Seriously, never even realized it, but not being obsessed with boobies and girls feel nice, along with having one hell of a stamina now."

"Wow, never thought that I would hear those words coming from you." Raynare was serious. "I thought that the moment you would become a dragon the entire female population of this town would be in danger, because that aura of yours now seriously drives all those girls towards you. They may not see it, but I can clearly feel it in the air. If I wasn`t interested in Alex, would`ve actually asked you out on a new date."

"Really? I thought you didn`t like our first one." Issei reminded her.

"Well.. Truth to be told, I did have a blast of a time with you and the single reason I actually said otherwise was because.. I didn`t wanted to admit it myself at the time." Ray admitted. "Can you do us both a solid and not tell about?"

"Sure thing." Issei dissed it, seeing Alex coming their way. "Oh look, he is all done already."

Alex came in closer to both Raynare and Issei, along with his daughters who were still not finished up their snacks. He looked at both of them and asked directly.

"Something wrong?"

"Nope." Both replied without hesitation.

"Hm..Okay." Alex dissed and looked down at his daughters. "So, were you two behaving while I was busy?"

Illya and Sakura both looked up to their daddy and nodded anxiously. Alex smiled to their happy faces and placed kisses on their foreheads and took them by hands.

"That`s my girls." He praised them both. "Now, let`s go. I`m sure auntie Grayfia would love to play with you, while daddy finishes up all the boring stuff with grownups." And with that said, the group went directly towards the Occult Research Club building, while Issei went towards his own classes.

ORC cabinet.

As the group was about to enter the cabinet, Alex could already feel that 2 Satans were already there, along Rias, Akeno, Sona and Grayfia, but there was also another interesting source of energy. It was quite a bit weaker than the rest of them and it wasn`t refined or trained, more akin to a natural source within a young being. And this source was of demonic energy, very similar to Gremory and Lucifer at the same time. Lucifer clicked in, also sensing it.

"Hm.. It feels like someone with both Lucifer and Gremory blood."?Lucifer reasoned.?"It must be Millicas, Grayfia`s son and your cousin."

Alex silently agreed with that one and entered the cabinet, looking at all the people that have gathered here. As he sensed, all of the people were present there, along with a small addition. Near Grayfia stood a little boy of roughly the same age as Illya, dressed in noble clothing and with his most distinct features being red crimson hair and almost silver like eyes, but still with light blue in them. The kid and Alex looked at each other, while Lucifer also examined the child as well.

"That`s my grandson alright."?Lucifer simply chuckled light heartly.

Alex was the first to break the silence.

"Lady Serafall, Sirzechs." Alex nodded to them both, getting the same response, while he also looked at the little guy. "I believe we weren`t introduced. My name is Alexander Lucifer of Houses of Lucifer and Lucifuge."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Millicas Gremory." Millicas bowed to his older cousin, getting a bow from Alex as well. "I was told that you are my cousin, so I`m really glad to meet you!"

"Pleasure is all my, bro." Alex petted the kid`s head, before turning his attention to Sakura and Illya who were looking at the boy with curiosity. "Oh, how rude of me. Millicas, I would like you to meet these charming young ladies. My dear daughters, Illya and Sakura." Both of the girls jumped on the place when Alex spoke like that.

Millicas turned to both of them and bowed like a real life gentleman before both of them.

"It is nice to meet. I`m Millicas Gremory and it`s my pleasure to meet you." Both of Alex`s daughters flashed up red at the cute response, but then relied with a bow as well.

"T-the p-pleasure is all m-mine, M-Millicas." Illya responded flashing red.

"P-please t-take c-care o-of u-us." Sakura shyly responded.

Alex couldn`t help but mentally chuckle at their reactions. These two girls have been simply too much to handle in moe department already, but now..

"SO ADORABLE~!"?Lucifer was literally squalling like a small girl and smiling like an idiot.?"CAN`T.. TAKE.. ANYMORE~.."?And with that, formerly 5th Strongest Being in the World.. fell onto the floor and was in knockout from sheer moe.

Alex was at a full agreement with his grandfather at this one as it was easily the most adorable thing he ever saw. Still, he had kept his head cool and there were far more important matters to discuss, so Alex taken a look at Grayfia, who was also smiling at this whole situation.

"Why don`t you three go and play outside?" Alex drew the attention of the kids. "Kids shouldn`t spend their free time listening to adults talking about boring stuff, right? You should go out and have fun while you have the chance, am I right, Grayfia?" Alex decided to go with cunning maneuvers and Grayfia understood the hint.

"Yes, that is correct." Grayfia agreed and took her son and the girls. "I shall watch over them, while you conduct your business and negotiations."

All parties simply nodded and let the kids and Grayfia be on their way. Alex was glad that both girls could make a friend, even if it was a son of the man who sold his mother to Phenex family. As the matter of affect, Alex wasn`t thinking of Millicas as a Gremory, whom he simply began to dislike completely, but more as a Lucifer member and Grayfia`s son. After all, Alex could feel that Millicas did have their grandfather`s blood in him and a familiar sense of Power of Annihilation in him, most probably inherited from Grayfia. And if nurtured with care and practice, this kid could one day give his father a hell to remember.

As the door closed up, Sirzechs turned everyone`s attention to himself as he spoke.

"I must admit, I wasn`t expecting you to be so good in handling the kids, especially at their age." Sirzechs sounded surprised.

Alex turned to Satan and spoke in his serious disposition once again.

"I may`ve been orphaned, but that doesn`t mean that I don`t know how a real father should act." Alex responded. "My own father has taught that if a man can`t keep his kids happy and safe, then he simply no man at all."

"Those are some interesting words to use, especially for a Fallen Angel." Sirzechs pointed out.

Alex honestly felt like he was insulted, or rather, his father was insulted. Alex knew all about Azazel`s previous harems, but he also knew that his father was faithful to his mom and that whatever was the case, he always had the time for his family, despite being the Governor General of the Fallen Angels. And he made a god damn great work on being a father, that was for sure, as Alex remembered with love all those moments he, Lucina, mom and dad were together, like a true family. Those were some of the happiest moments of his life and when he finally reunited with his dad and sis, they were honestly crying when they saw him. Seriously, no one has ever seen Azazel cry like that before, hugging his long lost son. After that Azazel did the best in his power to make it to Alex for not finding him and letting Lucia die. Alex never felt any animosity to his dad for mom`s death, not even for a moment. Instead, he greatly respected and loved his father, along with his younger sister Lucia and he honestly wished to repay them both for basically giving him the second chance at life. That`s why he didn`t resulted to their hel-->>
