Limits Of The Flesh In DXD

Even Ddraig was dumbfounded by my probably suicidal plan to say nothing of the people within the room watching me as I stared at the glowing green gem in the center of the Boosted Gear waiting for the dragon's answer.

"Such a plan... Even with it being a subspecies and more easily allowing such extraction along with the host being unable to even resist such a procedure. Either way, this act will harm your very lifeforce and greatly lower your lifespan due to the strain such an act will put on yourself if you succeed at all and don't keel over and die." Ddraig spoke frankly making me frown but with a glance at the people behind me, I shook my head.

Lifespan issues weren't a problem for me as I could just have Koneko teach me Bedroom Senjutsu arts in order for me to practice with Ei or Monet. If Ni and Li didn't already know them.

So basically, so long as I didn't die in the process, I could easily fix any issues either by using my-self applied fleshcrafting skills, or I could just suffer the process of sleeping with or otherwise cuddling almost naked with a bunch of catgirls... I didn't see any issue with this so long as I don't die in the process.

"Ddraig I am going to do it. Letting my future father-in-law fall into an endless coma just isn't right." I said with a confident smile as I placed a hand between Valerie's chest and reached within with my flesh crafting abilities and instantly, I found the three motes of light bound with a rope of misty light as the sub-species of the Sephiroth Grall was actually three grails all with the same abilities but would further enhance the user if all were together.

As Jake was being coached on how to integrate another sacred gear into his soul by Ddraig, Rias was holding Akeno's hand tightly as both girls were greatly invested in Jake succeeding in this endeavor. Not only for their feelings towards the young man that had come into their lives like a blasphemous blessing for them. But because Rias's father with his sleeping sickness apparently needed soul manipulation abilities to deal with the issue.

The amount of hope Akeno had for Jake to somehow bring her mother back to life also couldn't be stated either.

"Is he going to be alright Rias?" Akeno whispered to Rias as Ddraig went silent as his lesson was concluded and now it was all up to Jake to somehow integrate a Longinus within himself safely.

"I believe in him." Rias softly spoke as she clenched Akeno's hand within her own to steady herself and to reassure her queen/sister in all but blood.

The room didn't have to wait long for a reaction but rather than Jake pulling out a mote of light or something like how other Sacred Gear extractions were supposed to go with the previous wielder dying. But instead, Jake became the embodiment of the word holy.

Not righteous holy fury. Not holy love. Not holy wisdom or anything else of the sort. No, as a horn made out of golden light pierced his brow and curved a bit over his head. His hair that was a bit shorter than shoulder length grew greatly as it came to hang down to his waist as it turned from a sunny golden to a bright incandescent almost molten gold color. He became the embodiment of true holiness with no other attribute.

None of the devils in the room felt discomfort or pain at such an anathema presence should have brought to their kind. No, they only felt the comforting light of holy care filling the room as Jake fully unleashed the Unicorn bloodline, he had mentioned he had to Rias and the rest of her peerage. And even she didn't believe his powerful abilities came from such a being.

"To wherever you are. Be at rest. Your journey in the mortal world has ended and now you can find a new path to a much fairer life in the next." Jake's voice spoke out with a melodic tune of fall leaves crossing over the ground and strong wood groaning in a spring storm.

His voice was eldritch and rather than dull sounds, there were concepts that caressed Rias's ears as Valerie's body morphed and changed taking on longer hair and her breasts slightly growing with her emaciated body filling back out as Jake seemingly became a bit thinner himself as he broke down some compounds inside himself to fix up Valerie's body.

But finally, Jake staggered in place as his horn of light faded into motes of light and the extension of hair faded away as Jake tottered and before Rias and Akeno could dash over, Sirzechs all but teleported over as he steadied the young man with an arm around his shoulders.

"Good job Jake. I can feel the grail within yourself... Just rest for a bit my father will be fine for a while so you can just rest." Rias heard Sirzechs speak softly to Jake, and Rias could only see Jake's unfocused eyes focus on Sirzechs for a moment before clouding back over as he blankly nodded and then fully fell unconscious within Sirzech's braced arms.

"Hmm looks like you accept him Sirzechs." Zeoticus spoke up as he looked at his son moving Jake into Grayfia's arms as he told her to personally watch over and care for him.

"Jake? Yes, he obviously loves you, Rias." Sirzechs said cheerily making Rias squawk in embarrassment, but the older sibling continued. "He is not only extremely strong for his age, but his abilities make him highly valuable to the devil race and I accept him as my brother as not only he has gone out of his way to protect Rias, but he has even helped our family out of the kindness of his heart as he knew such gifts in the Phenex clan cows would a great boon to use while asking for nothing in return."

Then Sirzechs looked back to her wife who was holding Jake in her arms. "Take him away to my estate for him to rest. Let no one near him and literally do not let him out of your sight. There are traitors in our households, so if someone attempts to touch or even approach him... Deal with them." Sirzechs said with finality and Grayfia nodded disappearing in a magical sigil as she teleported away with the unconscious form of Jake.

A couple of minutes later the Gremory family came to the conclusion that letting Milicas know he was previously poisoned would be a bad idea with how sheltered to the darker side of the world he was. And other than that Akeno began speaking with Venelana semi-privately as Rias went to go check on what became of Valerie.

"So, my dear how do you feel about losing your heritage? Are you alright with that?" Venelana softly asked Akeno who demurely smiled nodding as her pure devil wings flared silently behind her drawing the Gremory Matriarch's eyes.

"Losing a bit of power to rid myself of my taint to that man is worth it... And now with Jake, I could actually get the Gremory bloodline so you can actually be my auntie like I used to call you back when you guys saved me." Akeno spoke as she snuggled in against Venelana who smiled as she threaded her hands through Akeno's soft black hair.

"I have always tried to live up to the Gremory name of loving our Peerage members as Family and frankly out of all of Rias's adorable servants and friends you are my favorite Hehe." Venalana joked lovingly as she held the girl in her arms as she began to shake with repressed emotions.

"Auntie... He can bring back momma..." Akeno wetly whispered into Venelana's sweater earning a coo from the older devil mother who pulled the teenager against her breasts to comfort her as she did all she could to swallow the girl in a hug.

She all but considered her as her own daughter with how she had practically raised her past the age of ten when Rias brought her home.

Because in the end if your daughter brings home another child the same age and you spend years with them it just kind of falls into place where you naturally adopt them. At least that was Venelana's feelings.

"Yes, he can... You just got to stay strong and wait for him to get better. Then when he gets a hold of the Grail, he can do it." Venelana assured Akeno as she massaged her head and eventually, the emotional now pure-blooded devil fell asleep in her arms as Rias and Sirzechs were arguing in the background about Valerie.

Rias all but stomped her feet as she pointed at Valerie. "Big brother it's all your fault! If you didn't mention spirits and stuff Jake wouldn't have made Valerie's body into Arcueid from Melty Blood and FGO! I wanted a little vampire girl like Kiss-Shot or Yue from Ararifureta to pamper as Koneko isn't going to be cute for much longer!" Rias all but scolded her older brother pouting as he just chuckled.

"Sorry Rias I haven't watched anime with you for a few years, so I don't know or recall who they are. But is this Arcueid strong?" Sirzechs asked with a gleam in his eyes as he knew very well the creations Jake made were intensely loyal to him and also had great potential. More importantly, would all at least reach Ultimate class especially that swordswoman Ei who was being taught by his knight Okita Souji as the swordsmen couldn't bear to see her talent go unpolished.

"Is Arcueid Brunestud strong!?" Then the room became filled with white noise as Rias's voice rose to a higher octave as she chattered on about Arcueid's abilities in the games and went on about how if Jake could get Innovate Clear in her, she could actually manifest her Marble Phantasm/Reality Marble and such nonsense.
