DxD 0052: Familiar Forest
The sky was red as if painted with blood, the surroundings were filled with dead trees with no leaves. The soil was moist, yet dark and unappealing.
A group of people was walking through this dead forest as they talked animatedly.
“This place is… freaky,” Asia commented as she looked around apprehensively.
“Don’t worry so much, Asia. This is the underworld, of course, things are dreary…” Akeno commented as she also looked around. She’d been with Rias for a while, but she was also a human initially. So the underworld was a freaky place for her too.
“Gotta catch ‘em all!” The voice made Asia release a terrified yelp as she grabbed the nearest thing for support, which was Abaddon’s sleeve. Although Asia’s reaction was the most pronounced, the others were also startled by the guy.
“Who are you supposed to be? Some Pokèmon master?” Abaddon looked in the direction where the voice came from and asked. The guy who had a hiking bag and was wearing the clothes of a hipster asked.
“I’m the familiar master, Zatuji!” He said emphatically before continuing, “It’s a nice full moon today, the best time to catch some familiars.”
Abaddon turned to Akeno and whispered, “Are they all like this, or is this one a special little snowflake?”
“They’re all a little eccentric. I’ve met four others before this and they were all very eccentric.” Akeno said.
‘…Wait, four? Doesn’t Rias have only Koneko and Kiba other than Akeno?’ Abaddon’s thought was never verbalized as the familiar master started speaking in that attention-seeking emphatic voice again, “Tell me! What do you desire in a familiar? Strength? Speed? Poison?”
Abaddon decided to tune the guy out for a while since he was getting annoyed. And they were here for Asia’s familiar anyway. He was just here to give it a go if he finds a worthwhile one.
…
“She had such kind eyes…” Asia commented as they walked through the forest.
“Girl, that water sprite looked like the fucking Hulk. That is not a she from any angle…” Abaddon said to Asia with a shudder.
“Fufu… Come on, A-kun, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Maybe she really was a gentle girl on the inside.” Akeno teased him.
“One more word and I go back to eradicate it.” He threatened.
Rias saw that the familiar master was about to say something and beat him to the punch. She knew what kind of bullshit would happen if he said something wrong to Abaddon. She didn’t want them to get into a meaningless dick-measuring contest right now, “Come on, Abaddon. This place is under the protection of my brother and the other Satans. Don’t be an ass.” She said to him as she walked up to him and held his hand.
“Yeah…” Abaddon sighed as he looked at her with annoyance.
“What’s that? It’s so cute…” Asia’s voice distracted Abaddon from his annoyed feelings as he turned to look in the direction that Asia was pointing.
“That’s a sprite dragon. They are draconic infants that can shoot cerulean lightning.” Zatuji, the familiar master said.
“Those guys are quite rare…” Kiba commented.
“It’s actually the first time I’m seeing one…” Rias said as she looked at the cute blue reptile with draconic features.
“If you want to catch it, now’s the time. They’re almost untamable when they are mature.” Zatuji said.
[A-kun, since you are the holder of the Boosted Gear, a draconic familiar would make a good fit…] Akeno suggested to him telepathically.
“That makes sense…” Abaddon agreed and just as he was about to say something he heard Draig’s voice in his head.
‹Don’t bother. Dragons are extremely territorial and are hostile to almost all other dragons. The only exceptions are the two Dragon Gods. You’d have a better chance of going celibate than taming another dragon to be loyal to you.›
‘Oh…’ Abaddon didn’t have too much of an issue.
“Ahh!~” A sexy exclaiming moan came from the side and distracted Abaddon from his musings. It was Rias who was being covered in some green slimy stuff.
“Is this what I think it is…” Abaddon commented, mesmerized by the view that was in front of him. The slime was slowly dissolving the girl’s clothes.
“These are slimes that primarily feed on textiles. They’re mostly harmless except for their habits of eating women’s clothes…” The familiar master commented from the side as he stood idly by with the slime covering his eyes. Unlike the females, the slime hadn’t affected the males’ clothes and had fallen on their faces to presumably detect their gender.
Abaddon looked up and saw one of the pieces falling on his face too and was disgusted, so he destroyed it, letting him view the erotic scene unimpeded.
“It’s eating my clothes…” Rias said with a sexy moan as her hands were held behind her back by the slime, preventing her from using her magic as the slime wrapped around her body, dissolving her clothes slowly.
‘Should I make this guy my familiar?’ Abaddon thought as the presence of a slime-based familiar would open up quite a few avenues for him in the lust department, ‘Nah… Too troublesome… I wouldn’t know when it would get out of my control and cause problems…’
“Help me, A-kun… This is so slimy and wet~” Akeno’s voice naturally came out as erotic as her hands were held above her head while the slime wrapped around her body. As her clothes slowly disappeared, Akeno’s pink areolas were peeking through her quickly disappearing bra and making the scene even more erotic.
Abaddon’s gaze then went to Kenoko and Asia who were also trying to resist but was unsuccessful in getting rid of the slime.
‘Enough fun I guess…’ Abaddon smiled melancholically and cast a ball of destruction magic, “Stop overexaggerating, Akeno. I’ll get rid of it.” Abaddon commented as he saw Akeno’s sensual actions in response to the slime.
He cast the spell and all the girls were freed from the slime, although their clothes were practically destroyed, “You couldn’t have helped us sooner?” Rias asked angrily.
“And miss the amazing scene I got to see? Hell no.” Abaddon said.
“And what about the other two that got to see that scene?” Rias said angrily.
“What other two?” Abaddon smirked as he gazed at the two other guys who were passed out on the ground beside him.
“Pervert senpai…” Koneko commented as she hid from his gaze behind Rias.
“I told you, Koneko, I won’t eat you up until you beg me for it,” Abaddon said with amusement. The girls all conjured new clothes for themselves before waking up the two guys.
Meanwhile, the sprite dragon that was enjoying its time up on a branch suddenly released a huge jolt of lightning as it flew down.
That lightning hit the unsuspecting Abaddon as it was instantly destroyed by his Armor of Destruction. He looked at the dragon that had just flown down to land on Asia’s shoulder with an annoyed look.
‘I know what you meant now…’ He thought to Draig.
‹Yeah…›
“You damn blue lizard…” Abaddon gave a scary look at Asia’s new familiar who didn’t cower and growled at him instead, it released another blast of lightning at Abaddon that fizzled out of existence just before it reached him. Abaddon snorted with an annoyed look.
“The sprite dragon only attacks those it deems as enemies… Though why would it attack you… peculiar.” The familiar master commented, “There’s no way for it to think that you were attacking that blonde beauty.”
“Whatever… Looks like you got your familiar…” He commented while looking at Asia.
…
“In the name of Asia Argento, I command you to accept this contract as my familiar.” Asia was standing in front of the sprite dragon with a green summoning circle having formed under it.
As Asia finished, a glow covered the body of the dragon to signify the formation of the pact.
“Well done, Asia-chan...” Akeno commented with a smile.
The dragon came up to Asia and started licking her like a dog, “Hey! That tickles…” She said while giggling.
“You know, Asia… They say that Sprite dragons only follow the most pure-hearted of people and it’s very rare for one to form a pact with a devil.” Rias said.
“Well, it’s probably because Asia-chan used to be a nun,” Akeno commented.
They then spent a few more hours hanging around the familiar forest to see if Abaddon found anyone that he liked, but in the end, he couldn’t find anyone and they all teleported back home.
After everyone left, Rias was alone in the Occult Research room looking out the window when she was surprised by the presence of a white magic circle appearing in the office. With a flash, someone appeared in the room.
