Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 30

"If you don't mind me asking, what do you aspire to be, Igor-kun?"

And as if a light had been switched, Igor confidently grinned. His eyes blazed into her soul as he uttered this sentence.

"The strongest in the universe."

Shuri was quite taken aback by his declaration. While she certainly didn't expect the blonde to aspire to gain wealth, it didn't cross her mind that he would make such an arrogant statement of becoming the strongest.

But the weird thing was, she believed him. The level of confidence Igor had in his words and the strength he has now proved that he certainly has the determination to reach that goal.

It made Shuri even more curious him.

"Ara ara, Dimori-kun. I never expected you to have such a lofty goal."

"Of course, aunty. You better believe I'm going to surpass everyone and become number 1 on the list of strongest people."

"Fufufu~. You certainly have an admirable goal, Dimori-kun. But how will you achieve it?"

"Easy. I'll train and climb up the ranks. I've already surpassed the old man. Next on my list is Uncle Azazel. Although he doesn't show it, I know he's crazy strong."

Igor could still vividly remember when Azazel blocked his punch. Although he didn't pay attention to it at the time, he noticed the issue when he was reviewing the entire battle during his feast.

"I still remember when Uncle A blocked my punch. Although I managed to break his arm, it's like some invisible force prevented me from tearing his arm clean of his shoulders."

Shuri almost froze at Igor's sudden description of the events.

"You...you broke his arm?"

"Yeah! Although...I feel like he let me break it or something. I think he intentionally weakened himself just to get a feel as to how powerful I was."

Shuri was getting a bit light-headed, something Igor noticed.

"What's wrong, aunty?"

Shuri waved away his concern with a sigh.

"It's nothing, Dimori-kun. It just amazes me that you can talk about breaking someone's arm with such ease."

"Oh. Well, you have to be ready to do much more than that if you want to embark on the path of the strong, aunty."

Shuri's face darkened in dread.

"What do you...mean?"

Igor easily replied.

"I'm talking about killing, aunty. You have to be prepared to either lose your life or take lives if you want to be strong."

Shuri had a bad premonition.

"Dimori-kun. Have you killed before?"

Igor looked up in thought.

"Yeah. A couple of times actually."

There was silence. Shuri did not know how to reply to such an answer.

[So young and yet...]

Noticing that Shuri was suddenly quiet, Igor looked over at her with a frown of confusion.

"Aunty? You there?"

Shuri's absentmindedness ended when Igor started waving his hand all over her face.
