DXD: Hard To Kill

Chapter 17 - Plot device

17 years ago

It was a wonderful day in the underworld at the Gremory Manor. The sky was tinted a nice shade of purple, the servants were moving up and about, the artificial moon was off in the distance preparing for night

"SIRZECHS YOU CRIMSON F!$#@%! WHEN THIS IS OVER I WILL FREEZE YOUR [email protected]$ AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR A%*" And a wife in labor was shouting expletives at her husband

Within the Gremory Manor inside of a nursery, Grayfia Lucifuge was in labor as she was found crushing her husband Sirzechs Lucifer's hand with a vice-like grip so tight that the bones in his hand were fractured. To the Devil King's credit he just had a wry smile on as a healer and a maid with a first aid kit were ready beside him ready to save him.

When the child was finally born saving Sirzechs hand from further pain, Grayfia held the child close as she looked into his cute silver eyes.

"He has your eyes" Commented her husband with a genuine smile this time as he hid his bandaged hand behind him

"They are beautiful" She said as she watched her baby fall asleep

"Did you think of a name yet?" he asked, allowing his wife to name their child

"Aversis, his name will be Aversis Gremory" She decided as she rocked the protagonist in his sleep

However both of them frowned with concern as they realized something. The boy had little to no trace of demonic energy. Normally that wouldn't alarm them since their child was just born but they wanted to make sure the boy was alright.

"I'll go call Ajuka" Sirzechs said before rushing out the door

Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the four Satans and known as the most intelligent devil in the underworld. He is the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department and the creator of the Evil Pieces system and the Rating Game. The married couple was worried as the man checked up on Aversis.

"This should be impossible but... your child is completely human." concluded the scientist as he gave the news to the couple

"Are you absolutely sure Ajuka?" Sirzechs asked hoping it was a mistake

"He shows no signs of any devil traits. No manifestable wings, no signs of corruption in his soul and he has not produced any demonic energy." said Ajuka as he gave off his analysis

"What about evil pieces?" he asked but was shot down instantly

"I have already attempted that, the pieces show no reaction. I am sorry but your son is completely human" Ajuka confirmed as he apologized

"What will we do with you?" Grayfia asked as she b.r.e.a.s.tfed her son

"If the pillars find out or even worst the old maou faction.... we might not be able to keep him safe. We may need to consider hiding him in an orpha-" He was cut off by his wife's shout

"DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE" The second strongest female devil said as the room became encased in ice

"But dear... the pillars" he said trying to placate his wife's anger

"Let them come, we will teach them what happens if they dare try and touch our son. Right dear?" She said with a menacing smile as Sirzechs began to sweat on the back of his neck again

"Ofcourse! I'm not the strongest devil for nothing." responded the Maou as he showed his support towards his wife

The years went by as the underworld found out about the human child of the strongest devil. Many showed contempt only in the forms of idle chatter and looks while some tried to eliminate the boy viewed as a disgrace. However all attempts were mercilessly intercepted by the overprotective mother who would be with the child nearly 24/7. Some were lucky to die to the current Lucifer while others were unlucky enough to be caught by his wife.

Rumors began to form as the attempts at the boys life ended after the stories of inhumane torture orc.h.e.s.trated by the silver haired devil. Some rumors called it a fate worst than going to heaven. Which was pretty bad in devil terms. Finally on the child's 4th birthday as they were about to celebrate, tragedy struck.

In a completely different realm far away, an alarm clock rang as a colossal fist shattered it to pieces.

His eyes cracked open as he remembered the boy's wish 4 years ago.

"Ugh, is it time already? well might as well get it over with" the being known as 'ROB' said as he snapped his finger

within the Gremory Manor inside of the protagonist's room a magic circle lit up underneath him as Grayfia opened the door. Her eyes widened as she rushed towards her boy but found herself blocked by an invisible barrier. All she could do was watch as her son disappeared away from her as she let out a shriek that was heard across all of hell.

Sirzechs rushed in to find his wife in tears on the ground. He immediately went to check on the necklace he gave his son as a tracking device when he was born. Unfortunately no results showed as his son was not in the underworld, human world or even heaven itself.

He still wears the scars he received from his wife that day when he tried to stop her from slaughtering every single possible suspect.

Grayfia watched with tears of joy as she stopped herself from rushing into the arena to hug her child.

Rizer felt fear, as the silver eyed crimsonette continued to take slow steps towards the blonde he could feel the pressure increase slightly. The Phenex scion was forced to his knees as they finally gave out under the pressure. As the crowd watched the slow approach of the shinigami, the only person who made a move was Rizer's sister Ravel Phenex as she jumped into the arena via magic circle

"Onii-sama!" she yelled as she made it to the battlefield to stand before the soul reaper

Unfortunately before she could even attempt to plead for her brother's life, the pressure from being so close to the shinigami cut off her breathing as she fell on her bottom. She went pale as she looked into the silver eyes of death staring right at her. Ravel lost all hope as she was found wetting herself under the intense gaze. Once she thought it was over the pressure receded as Shiro's eyes softened.

"Not bad, you've got a lot of guts to try and save him from me. Take your brother and go" He said as he sheathed his blade

"wa-what?" She asked dumbstruck at being spared

"Don't make me repeat myself, I like you so go before I change my mind" Shiro said as she blushed and took her brother to safety

As the arena collapsed and the no longer disguised shinigami reappeared in the party, he gave a thumbs up to his apprentice.

"Well, you better make sure you invite me to the wedding. I always wanted to try a proper wedding cake." Shiro said to his student as he patted his shoulder

"You got it, it'll be the best cake you've ever tasted!" said the future harem king as he was happy it ended well

Turning back to his roommate and lover

"Alright mission accomplished, let's g-" He was cut off by a certain silver haired maid glomping him in a bone crushing hug

"MY BABY BOY IS BACK" she uncharacteristically screeched as cracking sounds were heard from the protagonist's body

'SYSTEM! HOW IS SHE HURTING ME? I SHOULD BE INVINCIBLE!" he screamed in his mind as he continued to feel his bones crack

[System detects potent amounts of 'plot device' from Host's mother. Plot device in many cases is on an even higher level than fate itself, thus Host's mother is able to quote "Kill you with love"] explained the robotic voice

'SYSTEM SAVE ME, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! THIS IS THE CLOSEST I'VE BEEN TO DYING SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN IN THIS LIFETIME' the shinigami pleaded as he was beginning to lose consciousness

[System has turned summoner feature back online, Summoning detected. Transporting host now] confirmed the system

A magic circle appeared underneath the protagonist as it pulled him, slipping him out of his mother's grip

"MY BABY!" The silver maid cried as the crimson haired Satan felt like he was struck with deja vu
