ALL NOVEL Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Issei was happy sitting down with his mother watching a movie that she wanted to watch. Rias did keep her end of the deal with allowing his mother to believe that her son was always this behemoth. His father would come home soon, and he was excited to see his father after avoiding his parents for a couple of days. Seeing as though he was at the borderline of eclipsing Rias and knowing that she was the most powerful out of her peerage, Issei would feel more secure knowing eventually Rias and her peerage would be left in the dust when compared to his power.
"Issei... Did you see that scary monster?"
The problem with having this system was that he couldn't watch a movie because whenever he would feel an emotion too powerful, the system would immediately calm him down. Turns out, his mother couldn't see the bright white aura that surrounded him. Was it a supernatural only thing... or him exclusively that could see the white aura.
"Mom... it wasn't that scary?"
His mother clung onto him while screaming multiple times when the killer was revealed. She was a child at heart, especially when it came down to movies. He simply chuckled seeing her scared shitless... However, this moment was short lived.

New Quest: Go to the abandoned building where you can feel the presence of Rias Gremory
Reward: Level Up
+ Reputation points with Rias Gremory
----------------------
"Mom... I need to deal with something." Issei saw the rewards... Leveling up, hell yeah!
His mother pouted, "You never want to spend time with your mother... You always say that you have something to do..."
"I would love to spend time with you... but I really have to finish this little thing, but I promise I will be back in 2 hours." Pouting, his mother still ignored him. Issei simply sighed and walked away, "And I will bring a surprise for you and dad once I'm back."
"Fine... just don't get hurt." Issei smiled at his mother.
To ease her worries, Issei boasted," Do you really think anyone would be able to hurt this behemoth?" He was bluffing for sure, but he didn't want his mother to be worried sick... Seeing her cry once already hurt him... he never wanted to see his mother cry... He hoped he would never see his father cry either...
Sensing the magical presence of Rias from further away... Turns out, he learned how to do this by sensing huge mana presences in the proximity, with that he was able to deduct how to sense people who had excessive mana. Rias was just a walking landmine of mana... So, finding her was pretty easy for him.
Appearing right at the building where Rias and her peerage entered, Issei walked in to see them standing in front of a... large demon like creature. There was a woman's body sticking out of the middle of a large, mutated body with six large beast-like legs covered in fur standing in the middle of the room.
"Issei? What are you doing here?" Rias was shocked to see Issei.
"I should be asking you that..."
"Oh... another unfortunate prey." The beast-like woman spoke while staring at him with a predatory gaze.
"Another abomination..." Issei spoke while walking towards Rias. "You about to deal with it or will I finish it?"

----------------------
The strength that the stray devil had was something to be noted of. The level of the stray devil kind of made the devil kind of useless against Issei.
"Actually... I think this is the perfect time to show you the power of my peerage." Rias smiled in pride before signaling towards Kiba to begin.
Kiba rushed straight towards the stray with his sword in hand. Rushing in and swinging his blade, Issei watched as the stray swung her hand in hopes of swiping at Kiba, but the sheer speed difference was too much causing for Kiba to easily pierce straight through the stray, appearing right behind her and slicing off a leg before backing away.
"Kiba is my knight in my peerage. His specialty is-"
"Speed..." Issei blurted out while interrupting her. Rias turned towards Issei and watched as Issei's eyes were glued onto Kiba. "He's quite fast..."
"You guessed it right... well, there is still Koneko."
"Strength..."
'Yes... There..."
"Akeno is more well-rounded compared to the two, but she heavily relies on her magic."
Rias pouted before huffing..." Stop being right! It takes away the joy of surprising you."
Laughing at her pout, Issei noticed that the beast tried one last move against Rias. Squirting acid from the beasts... "body" ... Issei simply walked in front of Rias and let the acid cover him. Not a single bit of damage to him, but Rias still gasped. "ISSEI!"
Issei remained emotionless..." This is not the shower I was expecting to take today." Unfazed by the acid, Issei began walking towards the beast.
Rias watched as Issei was unharmed... Simply walking straight towards the beast, Issei looked like... an anime character in her eyes. "I'll deal with the monster..." Grabbing his sword, Issei continued walking straight through the acidic attempts from the beast...
"WHAT ARE YOU?" The beast woman began panicking seeing as her attacks were doing nothing to Issei.
Instead of answering her, Issei slammed his sword right into the woman. Piercing straight through the beast woman, cutting her in half. Issei simply looked at her horrified expression on her face... "Another one bites the dust..."
Rias looked at the pure raw power Issei showed with his sword. One swing of his blade was all that was needed. Not only that, but Issei also shook the building with his sheer power alone. "ISSEI! THAT WAS SO COOL!" Rias looked as if she was looking at some celebrity. Rushing straight towards Issei and jumping up and down in excitement. "You were like HYA! And the monster was like... Blah!"
Issei could only look towards the others in confusion... Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko could only chuckle in confusion. They didn't expect their king to act like a child suddenly. Chuckling and patting Rias on the head, Issei suddenly got a message...
----------------------
Quest Completed: Go to the abandoned building where you can feel the presence of Rias Gremory
Reward: Level Up
+ Reputation points with Rias Gremory
----------------------
Reputation points... How does that work?
----------------------
Reputation points work as a way of showing how much someone thinks of you. Having a higher reputation leads into more interactions, more bonuses, more rewards, and more opportunities.
Currently from the supernatural world of people you know, this is what they think of you.
Rias --> Admires you
Akeno and Kiba --> Think positively of you
Koneko --> Fucking hates you
Sona --> Neutral
----------------------
Well... He just met with Rias, and she was already admiring him. Koneko disliking him probably came from his reputation at school. He was surprised that Akeno and Rias didn't dislike him because of his reputation.
----------------------
EMERGENCY WARNING: HIDDEN BOSS INCOMING
----------------------
Widening his eyes upon seeing the message, Issei grabbed Rias and yanked her straight towards him before summoning his shield and barely blocking a powerful fist coming straight towards him.
Standing in front of him was a colossal figure shrouded in darkness, the creature's obsidian armor adorned with sinuous patterns that evoke primal malevolence. With eyes ablaze with infernal fire peering from beneath a grotesque helm, it wields a massive, wickedly serrated blade forged in the depths of the abyss. Accompanied by an aura of dread and suffocating malevolence, Issei looked at the knight.
----------------------

Bonus: 40% Damage Reduction
----------------------
This wasn't good... Issei was weaker in agility by a good amount while his level was lower by two. He was dealing with a monster with 60% damage reduction against him. Rias looked at the knight with a little worry. However, she didn't feel as if the monster would pose much of a problem... Before the monster began shining a bright red color and exploded in a fury of reddish aura that began melting the ground around.
----------------------
Boss had entered Enraged State
Enraged State: 15% to all stats
----------------------
Looking at the monster... Issei felt something he didn't expect to feel in such a long time...
He began to worry...
