High School DxD: Return of the Crimson Dragon Emperor

Chapter 514: Chapter 504: Retainers Driven to the Brink

[Miu’s POV]

”Ni... Ni... NIPPLE BEEEEEEAM!”

Face flushed crimson, Alice-san let out a scream that was half-sob, half-war cry. Her nipples began to glow with a brilliant pink radiance. Then, twin torrents of milky-white light erupted from her chest!

The beams surged forward, swallowing a swarm of clones in their path—

THOOM!

The blast reduced everything to nothingness. Dulio’s clones were wiped out in a single, overwhelming stroke.

”Wh—Wha-wha-wha-wha—!? Alice-san’s... her nipples just fired a laser beam!?”

Why!? Why the nipples!? And more importantly, isn’t ”Nipple Beam” just the most horrific name for a move ever!? We’re in a life-or-death crisis, but I can’t stop my brain from screaming ”Are you serious!?” at the absurdity of it all!

Then, Ignis-san’s voice echoed in my head.

『She did it! This is it—the ultimate technique of the Switch Princess, the ”Nyu-type”! By concentrating all her Nyu-Power into her nipples, she unleashes the ”Mother of All Attacks”! It is a power so great that even the gods themselves cannot resist it!』

”Why are you so hyped up right now!?” I shouted internally. ”And ’Mother of All Attacks’? That’s just breast milk! Is it even okay for a beam to come out of there!?”

『Don’t worry, Miu-chan. If breast milk is the ”Power of Love” used to buff Issei the Oppai Dragon, then the Nipple Beam is the ”Power of Justice” wielded by the Nyu-type Switch Princess.』

”I’m sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about! My brain literally can’t keep up with this logic! And what even is a ’Nyu-type’ anyway!?”

『By the way, if Issei takes a direct hit from a Nipple Beam, he gets a massive power-up.』

”Then it’s exactly the same as the milk! It’s just another power-up item for my brother!”

Beside me, Alice-san was covering her eyes, her shoulders shaking.

”Ugh... wwaaaah... I finally did it... I actually fired a beam from my nipples... How did my life come to this...?”

『Because you are a Switch Princess, Alice-chan. A Nyu-type. This is your destiny as the consort of the Oppai Dragon. You should be proud! Your breasts... they are going to save the world.』

I don’t know why, but despite how insane she sounded, Ignis-san’s voice carried a strange weight of conviction. Well, I suppose given the results of things like ”T.O.S.”, I can’t really argue with her success. Even if her words are completely unhinged.

”Oh, god...” I muttered. ”Why does this feel so incredibly tragic?”

”I’m the one who’s miserable here!” Alice-san snapped, tears streaming down her face. ”Why am I always the one stuck with these roles!?”

『Because you’re the Switch Princess.』

”I’m going to cry! I mean, I’m already crying!”

『Now, now. While you’re busy complaining, the enemy is closing in.』

”Ugh... f-fine! I’ll do it! I’ll do it, dammit! NIPPLE BEEEEEEAM!”

Another milky-white blast tore through the air, vaporizing clones instantly. Even the entire volcano summoned by Bell was erased from existence.

And through it all...

”Waaaaaaah! Issei, you idiooooot!”

Alice-san was bawling her eyes out. Every time she fired that beam, I felt like a piece of her soul—something precious and irreplaceable—was being chipped away. It definitely wasn’t just my imagination.

As I watched her weep, a sudden thought crossed my mind.

”Wait, if Alice-san can do it, does that mean Rias-san can too? I mean, they’re both Switch Princesses.”

Alice-san and Rias-san—the Twin Switch Princesses. They were the ones who had ”awakened” my brother in so many ways. Alice Odilia, the Switch Princess of White Lightning. Rias Gremory, the Crimson-Haired Switch Princess. Their breasts were miracles capable of empowering the Oppai Dragon.

If Alice-san could do it... surely Rias-san could fire a Nipple Beam too.

Ignis-san answered with total confidence.

『Oh, she can. In fact, Rias-chan’s aptitude as a Nyu-type is currently a head above the rest. I sent her a telepathic message just a moment ago, and she was showing off some truly terrifying firepower.』

[Meanwhile, with Ria-tan]

”NI... NIPPLE BEEEEEEAM!”

”Incredible, Rias!” an ally shouted. ”That many Evil Dragons wiped out in an instant! If only you’d mastered this sooner, we could have landed a decisive blow on Ladhon!”

”Uuuugh... why is this happening to me...?”

Rias, too, had mastered the Nipple Beam.

[End of Meanwhile]

『As expected of a bust like Rias-chan’s. Her rate of fire is incredible.』

”Wait, are you saying mine are small!?” Alice-san barked.

『There, there. Yours will keep growing, Alice-chan. Don’t worry. As the ultimate expert on all things erotic, I give you my personal guarantee.』

”Really!? They’re actually going to get bigger!?”

『Indeed. As long as Issei keeps kneading, poking, and sucking on them, they’ll definitely grow.』

Hearing that, Alice-san clutched her chest and gave a tiny, shy nod.

”O-okay... I’ll do my best. I’ll make sure I have the body he likes most...”

Yeah, she’s cute. Alice-san really shines brightest when she lets her ”dere” side show.

Thanks to Alice-san’s Nipple Beams, a vast number of the clones had been eradicated. Whether she intended it or not, the ”painted” scenery that had turned the ground into a sea of magma was also gone, returning the terrain to normal. Just as Ignis-san predicted: destroy the painting, and the summoned phenomenon vanishes.

Regardless, the path was finally open!

I flew straight through the air, finally reaching Bell. The moment I closed the distance, I unleashed my strongest magic.

A massive sphere of mana—a full-power attack intended to end this right here.

”HAAAAAAAH!”

The black mana surged toward Bell. The force didn’t just obliterate the magical beast she was riding; it tore through the surrounding clones and shredded the floating paintings in the sky. Among them were the portraits of the D×D members. With those gone, she shouldn’t be able to summon them anymore!

As the thunderous roar of the explosion faded, Bell emerged from the lingering black aura. Her clothes were tattered, but she seemed to have taken no physical damage.

Bell was strong with conventional magic, but her true value lay in the synergy with her summons. I had to press the advantage before she could paint anything new!

”This ends now!”

”...Bell. Won’t lose.”

A fierce magical duel began. We spiraled through the air inside the barrier at high speed, both of us layering magic circles in front of us to fire off barrages of offensive spells. It was a rapid-fire, multi-elemental burst reminiscent of Rossweisse-san. Every single shot had the power to reshape the landscape; a direct hit would be devastating.

Yet, Bell met every one of my attacks head-on, neutralizing them with her own magic.

”...Big Sister. Strong. Vika and the others... can’t trade spells like this.”

Just spells, huh? The other three of Asem’s subordinates had such specialized physical abilities that I couldn’t see them engaging in a pure magical shootout anyway.

Bell continued her relentless assault, but then she thrust her left hand out to the side. With her palm facing downward, she gathered her aura—and summoned a brand-new painting.

”There’s still more!?”

Bell turned her sleepy eyes toward me.

”...The ones before... were just a few. I have... many more paintings.”

One of the newly summoned paintings began to glow. Suddenly, the ground emitted an eerie aura, and something erupted from the earth. Giant tentacles! Within seconds, the entire area was carpeted in writhing appendages. And all of them were lunging for me!

I tried to fly higher, but they stretched, chasing me wherever I went. I blasted them with magic, but more grew to take their place. I tried to destroy the painting that summoned them, but the tentacles formed a shield to protect it.

Finally, as I banked through the air, a tentacle snared my arm. Using that as a literal anchor, others swarmed in, wrapping around my legs, stomach, chest, and neck. I was completely bound.

”You...!”
