DxD: I know…I'm not the real one,just a cheap copy. but...I'd win-Chapter 44: 2 against 1? Start the stream...

Have you ever made a decision with joy and eagerness, but regretted it later?

That's the case with Sanguinius's clone, who went hunting for the goddess of violence and sloth.

"Here you go, handsome sir, a refreshing drink," declared an elf with tanned skin and salt-blonde hair.

Yet, despite her exotic appearance,

Sanguinius's clone didn't react much.

"Thank you very much," he said politely, taking the drink.

Arnes, who is the demon captured by him and disguised, also got a similar drink.

The atmosphere seemed relaxed and pleasant, but Arnes and Sanguinius's guard never dropped in front of the elf waitress's polite smile.

Finally, she showed her true colors.

"Oh, I almost forgot, but if you're interested in following the precepts of goddess Aqua..." before she could finish her words,

Sanguinius immediately used his Charm skill to avoid the embarrassing situation that had been tormenting him since his arrival.

The elf woman, who was about to express her desire to convert Sanguinius to the Axis cult, immediately got glassy eyes before leaving.

'I never thought I'd live on the other side of the gun.'

Sanguinius had lived in a devout family and had a friend who was pious.

Sure, he wasn't the incarnation of a perfect believer back then. But he had to participate in evangelization events.

Yet...

"I've never seen believers so determined to convert!!!"

The believers of the Axis cult had almost traumatized him.

Nevertheless, he was able to avoid the worst thanks to his Pheromones and Charm skills.

One was able to repel believers who were a bit too zealous in their mission, and the other allowed him to escape the clever trap used by them.

"*Sigh*... Arnes..." Despite his physical endurance, which wasn't really exhausted by hours of flight,

the fallen angel's mental fatigue had really plummeted because of the environment.

Taking a hot bath in a hot spring was no longer just a matter of tourism for the clone, but a priority!!

"Yes, Lord Sanguinius!!"

Arnes immediately responded to his call.

An action that delighted her internally.

"Go and try to contact your former mistress while I go explore... we'll meet at the inn."

Arnes nodded before leaving silently.

Unlike during their little fight, the demon wasn't just wearing a suspicious hood and revealing clothes.

Sanguinius had used transformation magic to camouflage the woman's demonic nature.

He had also made sure of the mark with his runic magic, which is a magic system unknown to this universe.

If she tries to flee, then Sanguinius would easily teleport her to him.

As for betraying for her mistress?

Sanguinius hoped for it internally, because he was confident in his victory, and at worst, the other clones would come replace him.

'While Arnes looks for Wolbach... I need to find this Hans guy.'

Instinctively, Sanguinius frowned.

He had nothing against people named Hans, but he had read a manhwa about them in his past life.

'I remember the protagonist was a barbarian named Bjorn Yander, and this guy always had problems after meeting an individual named Hans.'

Anyone would think this protagonist is crazy or just superstitious.

However, Bjorn Yander is a very realistic and coldly rational man.

He didn't hesitate to kill a Korean woman in a fantasy universe, even though she was from his country.

Why?

Just to avoid taking risks.

Unfortunately, all the times he was almost killed were linked to meeting a man named Hans.

It was while thinking about these kinds of 'funny' anecdotes from his past life that Sanguinius wandered through the city of Arcanletia.

He never stopped using his new Divination skill to find the two individuals, and particularly Hans.

The latter doesn't have a real human appearance, since he can change it.

'I... I... feel... better'

Finally, Sanguinius spotted a woman with red hair and possessing an exotic mark on her forehead.

The Divination skill doesn't work properly on her, because Sanguinius only observes a light.

He had to use the Suspicion skill.

To avoid causing trouble in town, he followed the woman to the city's exit without hiding his presence.

He just released enough mana to pass for a human slightly above average.

'If I fight in town, there could be damage, and if I hide too well, then she might leave thanks to teleportation.'

This pushed him to choose this approach.

He wanted to attract the demonic general to him through curiosity.

"The pervert behind the rock, show yourself!!!"

'As expected, she thinks she's in a position of strength.'

Sanguinius smiled internally, but he displayed a slightly embarrassed face.

"Sorry... I... I was fascinated by your appearance"

Yes, goddess Wolbach's appearance is no joke.

Despite his status as fallen, Sanguinius had rarely seen a woman like Wolbach.

'I hope she's like Eris and not like Aqua'

Despite her beauty, Aqua had given a very bad image of the goddesses of this world.

"Oh... I... I see, but don't do it again or you might attract divine punishment or be accused of harassment"

Although she was disconcerted for a moment by Sanguinius's honest words,

She immediately regained her composure and drew a clear line.

'Honesty seems effective against these goddesses too used to seeing through lies.'

Goddess Wolbach lowered her guard after confirming the truthfulness of Sanguinius's words.

The latter nodded with "understanding," but he suddenly attacked from Wolbach's point of view.

Some might call him a coward, but it's the wisest choice here.

'This woman has as much magical energy as the original'

Having a lot of mana doesn't mean being stronger, but it's a non-negligible factor.

The woman in front of him is a goddess!!!

The clone can feel the divine aura in her like with Aqua, but there's something wrong.

'It seems... incomplete'

Despite her formidable magical energy, this person is... incomplete.

This idea made the clone frown, yet his instinct seems to be right.

The Holy Power lance was stopped by intermediate magic with a very short chant, because this woman just whispered the spell's name.

Normally, such a spell couldn't stop a lance composed of Sanguinius's Holy Power, because the latter explodes on impact like bullets.

Yet, this woman managed to stop it and contain the explosion.

"Wretch!!!"

"Says the goddess, who gets fooled by an unemployed angel," he said, deploying his wings and his Holy power.

Wolbach blushed with embarrassment at Sanguinius's remark, but their attention went elsewhere.

Bam

'Shit, Arnes must have attracted negative attention from Hans during her search for Wolbach'

Sanguinius immediately activated the runic mark on Arnes's body, but the thing that appeared came from a scene straight out of an H manga.

"H... help..." Arnes struggles under the corrosive grip of the mutant slime.

Fortunately, Sanguinius had disguised her with less revealing clothes earlier, otherwise...

'A woman imprisoned by a slime...'

Despite his distraction facing the... immoral scene, the clone knew from experience that it wouldn't be easy to win alone and Arnes was out of the game.

He had no choice.

The original Sanguinius or the other clones should come to the area quickly to make things easier.

"Start the stream..." he said, in a serious tone while looking at the monstrous slime the size of a small hill and the goddess in front of him.
