Chapter 405: A Small Hiccup (2)

—

Sacred Gear: Nereid Kyrie

Rank: Longinus

Details: Exists within the being of the wielder; does not have a physical form. It grants the user two distinct abilities, one is the power to manipulate dragons by using their singing voice and manipulating the sea.

1. The user can detect dragons with a glance, no matter what sort of disguise they may be under. In singing alone, the user could enslave dragons, making a dragon fall asleep and powerless. It can also make dragons stronger if the user wishes, causing their power to rise as long as the ability is active.

2. Its second ability to manipulate the sea could be used to control an entire ocean, letting one sink an urban area, reaching the point of an entire country. Not only seas but even rivers and lakes too can be controlled – however that comes from the special circumstances that the current bearer possesses the Bloodline Ability "Sea Serpent of the End".

===

The ability was much more potent than it seemed. Neji recalled that Ajuka Beelzebub stated that even Dragon Gods such as Great Red and Ophis could be potentially controlled. This meant even Neji himself may fall prey to this, and while he was sure [Gamer Mind] would stop him from getting literally enslaved, this could at least make him powerless and maybe even fall asleep.

He was sure he had fallen asleep for a while just now until he opened his eyes and found the girl staring at him. It didn't seem like she knew the effects of her own powers, however, at least not all of it. But she was aware that she had such a Sacred Gear.

"You are... a dragon?" said Ingvild Leviathan, one of the two banes of all Dragons existing in this world. As her ability stated, she could sense what he was.

Ingvild was just a little girl right now, despite what her age said. She had been asleep for most of her lifetime. She was no danger to Neji, but she could be. Killing her would stop her from ever growing to that state, where the manipulating Gods and Goddesses of this world wouldn't be able to use her against him.

However, since when was Neji that paranoid? He did have intrusive thoughts like this every now and then, but he wasn't one to give in to them.

"Yep."

Neji smiled at the girl, reaching out a hand to pat her hair. She flinched back, but Neji's hand reached anyway as he looked into her eyes. No, instead of killing her, he should hire her as his personal musician. That right there was a special power.

Neji was so relaxed right now that it was equal to an insomniac man getting the best sleep of his life after a month of sleepless nights. Neji felt amazing.

Just as Neji was about to open his mouth, to thank the girl, his hand on her head exploded.

Neji was under attack.

"So? You're not gonna win sitting still like that, Grayfia."

Back in the bar, it had been a few minutes since Neji left, but the girls were too drunk to notice. Though it was only half true, as Grayfia had drank just a little – and though her cheeks were rosy, she wasn't drunk. Drunk Grayfia wasn't silent and shy, she was a whole different person.

The maid looked back at Serafall with contempt, her frown dangerous. She didn't say anything, making the Satan laugh. Taking a gulp from the cup in front of her, Serafall replied to the DM of Aphrodite, playing with the Goddess, before she looked back at Grayfia.
