Chapter 401: Right In The Bear Trap!

Neji floated over the city of Kuoh for a bit. He had explored a lot of its beauty recently, but he noted some parts were still left to explore. Not that it was important right now – right now, he had to figure out a way to get to the Underworld.

Neji didn't have any teleportation ability that let him go somewhere he hadn't been to before. That was a terrible weakness for someone of his power level, he admitted, but there was no immediate solution to that it seemed.

"Or maybe there is?"

Neji questioned himself. If he spent a minute thinking, he could find solutions that would let him enter the underworld. For example, he could go to Rias or Sona and ask them for the teleportation spell that they often used to return to the underworld. The problem would be, they would be curious why he wanted to go there, and the Satans might thereby come to know about his presence in their home. But that was just one problem he could probably fix if he tried.

There were also other ways he could follow, but really – all these seemed like a one-time path to the Underworld and something that had risks of alerting unconventional people. Was there something that would allow him to go back and forth as much as he liked, while also maintaining a level of secrecy?

"Maybe there is..."

Neji repeated the words, stroking his chin. In the end, he stopped hesitating and decided to visit the Arcane Plane right away. One of the top inhibitors in that continent under Yue knew Space and Dimension Magic, and Neji was betting his coins on that person.

With a click of his fingers, a portal opened to his side, and he slipped into it. Such a portal would usually be noticed by the strongest entities of this world, as it was leading to another world entirely. However, nobody noticed it this time – because this led Neji not to some world in this Omniverse... but one located within his own being. Well, technically.

Neji didn't have a particular location in his mind, but a particular person instead. He was not here for Yue, but she was the one whom he targeted anyways. He wanted to meet her since he was coming here anyway, even though he wasn't planning to meet many others, such as the Ogre and the Wolf.

When Neji stepped out of the swirling portal, he found himself in a royal bedroom. It was much more royal than any King's bedroom back in DxD World for sure. Grand windows that were veiled with red curtains, and a bed made out of gold and decorated with jewels rested in the center of the room. A white sheet covered the mattress, and a red blanket was on top of it, with a blonde little head poking out of there.

"She is... sleeping?"

The Vampire God of this realm, or at least this continent, Yue was currently asleep. It was certainly odd since she was a Vampire God, not a fledgling.

Neji was a little worried, so he used [Observe] to see if she had any bad status effects. To his relief, there was none, but to his shock, there was something else that was off. Her... level.

[Yue – Vampire God – Level 2498]

'That's... weird. She wasn't this high levelled before. What's going on?' Neji wondered.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he walked over to her. He would hate to wake her up, but maybe-

Just as Neji leaned over on the bed, the girl's red eyes snapped open. Before Neji could read, the blonde loli moved and her fangs were inches deep on his neck.
