Chapter 52

At least I got down two leaves; it's good and all, but I have to do the same thing with other power sources. This is going to take a long time before I master any of them.

Akeno already left me because she has a client to handle.

What is the percentage of Yamato?

[ 48% ]

Dammit, it only increases by about two percent. If Yamato takes this long to create, how about other overpowered swords? Some of them will likely take about 100 years or even longer.

I stretch my arms up and rise from the ground. Then I head to the town first, just in case I find Asia in the nearby area.

Now, I guess I can learn how to use Ki. I can already sense the Ki within me, but now I need to learn how to sense Ki in other people.

This could be hard, but I need to master it quickly because time is ticking.

While I was walking around the town, I tried to sense the Ki in people, but it seems not to be working.

I have to keep trying until I can, because even Goku took a few weeks before being able to sense Ki. Wait, that's Goku, not me; I'm not that talented in using Ki.

Shit, I just noticed that mastering Nen will take me months or more, but the others will likely take years.

Cursed Energy, if I use Yuta as a benchmark, I'll need at least a year or more to become that proficient.

As for Senjutsu, I applied Naruto world rules to it, so it will probably take me years, especially considering Naruto mastered it in a month with a lot of Shadow Clones.

Reiryoku is a real challenge; Ichigo learns it in 3 months, and I know it's easier for him due to his genetics, which is fucking unfair. It will probably take me around 5 years or more, and I'm not even sure if I can master it in that time.

Ki is no different; becoming skilled in it will likely take a few years. I guess Nen is the easiest to learn and master.

Let's start by learning how to sense Ki first, and then I'll continue with learning Nen.

While I was walking around the town, I didn't even catch a glimpse of Asia's blonde hair, but I did notice some suspicious people wearing white cloaks or some kind of religious outfits.

There are at least three people.

I follow them stealthily, using my Demonic Power to mask my presence and eliminate any noise I produce.

As I followed them, I overheard their conversation.

"Have you seen the new exiled nun who joined our group?" Guy number 1 asked.

"She looks quite cute and innocent. I wish I could get close to her," Guy number 2 remarked.

"Forget about getting close to her. She's being protected by Freed and the Fallen Angel. I heard a rumor that a Devil wants her dead body or something," Guy number 3 added.

Great, I have the information I need, and I may need to hasten my plan to save her because her future power will be of great help.

Let's go see her first at the Abandoned Church.

"Whoever has been following us, show yourself!" Guy number 3 called out.

I thought my camouflage magic was good enough to avoid being detected by these guys.

"So, what got me caught?" I asked, revealing myself to them.

The other guys seemed surprised to see me appear.

"Your poor magic control. Do you think it's a good idea to hide yourself using magic when you have poor control and release whatever disgusting aura from your body?" Guy number 3 said.

Ah, my poor control of Cursed Energy is what made them notice my presence.

"I guess you guys are going to try to kill me, right?" I asked them.

They are equipping their weapons, which are a Gun that can shoot light element bullets and a Light Sword.

"Then no one here will escape from my grasp."

I cover my whole body with the symbiote. It looks similar to the Spider-Man symbiote suit but is blank.

"What is that Demonic being?" Guy number 2 said while his body tensed, seeing me transform.

You guys are going to be my first prey in this world.

I tense my legs as I get ready to dash toward them. The ground cracked just as I did that.

"Be prepared," I said with a smirk beneath the mask.

+ 3rd Pov +

In a burst of speed, Kiba lunged towards the exiled exorcists, his Knight piece granting him superior agility.

As the exorcists readied themselves for the impending assault, they couldn't have anticipated Kiba's audacious move. With a swift jump, he skillfully ensnared their weapons using his symbiote web, pulling them towards him before the symbiote devoured the armaments.

Stunned by this unexpected display of power, the exorcists quickly began preparing a counter spell. However, in the heat of the moment, Yuuto positioned himself in front of one of the exorcists, seizing the unsuspecting individual by the throat and ruthlessly slamming them to the ground.

As the other two exorcists strained to unleash their magic spells, Kiba's eyes sparkled with keen insight. Seizing the opportune moment, he swiftly crossed his hands, releasing his symbiote web, which deftly ensnared both exorcists by their chests, pulling them closer to him with unwavering precision.

With the two exorcists now within his grasp, Kiba's adrenaline surged. Channeling the spirit of Spider-Man, he leaped into the air, taking the captured adversaries with him. With calculated precision, he executed his signature move, forcefully slamming the two exorcists into the ground, creating a small crater upon impact. The ground trembled as the shockwave of his attack reverberated through the battlefield.

In that critical moment, a chilling realization washed over the exiled exorcists - they were utterly and hopelessly outmatched.

"Too easy, but I must stay cautious and control my Cursed Energy to avoid detection. If they can somehow sense my Cursed Energy, Rias and the others might pick up on it too. I'll discuss this with them tomorrow."

Surveying the lifeless bodies before him, Kiba contemplated a way to harness their energy to strengthen the Symbiote Sword.

"Hmm, should I rush to save Asia now? But if I do, I might appear suspicious, like a man who just killed her new family..."

An intriguing notion crossed Kiba's mind. "I should instead grant Asia a portion of the symbiote, enabling me to sense any danger she might face. That way, I can protect her discreetly and efficiently."
