High School dxd: cursing this second life from zero

Chapter 16: Observers(Part 2)

「Hey boy....One question, why are the observers looking at you so intensely?」

Upon hearing those words, he felt his skin prickling for a moment, Observers...?

"What do you mean?"

He remembers saying that someone was watching him in a not so serious way, But..Is it true?

「There's no problem in telling you, After all they have already set an eye on you」

As Issei sat on his bed, he looked at his sacred gear to continue

「The observers or spectators as you want to call them are the beings who watch us...Even if it is God himself or the beast of the apocalypse, no one can escape their gaze, although..What did you do to make them look at you in that way? Their gaze on you is chilling」

Spectators.., Are they something like a god?.. well he just mentioned God too, Are they something above a god? Wait a second, If that's true, Were they the ones who gave him this power? Wait, before he needs to confirm something.

"I want to ask you a question...When I killed that fallen angel..Did you hear what I said to her?"

He needs to confirm it, From the beginning the attitude of the red dragon emperor is not the attitude of someone who knows his situation, If he was watching him and knows about his power, Wouldn't he know why those beings are watching him?

「When you killed the fallen angel I was able to observe everything, although now that you mention it... some parts of your conversation with her are somewhat blurry to me, I must say it was a great performance against a supernatural being being a human, I'm still impressed that you noticed her nature so soon and acted according to the situation」

He understands, He didn't hear him, It doesn't seem like he's acting, So if that's the case, he can't reveal it to him, Since he will die if he does, But Did something intervene so that he wouldn't hear him? If that's the case..

"I see..About those observers..Do you have any other information?

If there is any more information, he needs to know it, It's easy to deduce why they have their eyes fixed on him, Since if they were the ones who gave him this power, They watch him so that he doesn't tell anyone about his power, they could even be the ones who prevented the red dragon emperor from hearing his conversation, Even that they are the ones who force his restarts.

「Not really, This is the only information I have about them, It will depend on you whether you believe me or not」

Issei closed his eyes for a moment, It's a shame, then.

"How did you get that information in the first place? Give me all the details."

He needs the maximum information he can get about them.

「The information... was due to one of my previous carriers. I'll start with the first person who detected them. That guy, my old carrier, was a really kind and good-hearted man for much of his life. But that moldable and good personality was his downfall, a person in whom he placed his trust betrayed him by poisoning his drink. Thanks to my intervention, he was able to survive. But that experience marked him deeply. After surviving with great anger, he killed the person who betrayed him. After that, he voluntarily exiled himself far from any civilization as a hermit. The main reason was to investigate some beings that he could perceive when he was between life and death, he gave them the name of observers.」

"What happened to him?"

「He died young due to his great obsession with those beings, Even in his last moments he said that those guys were watching him mockingly, as if his life was just entertainment for them, I actually thought he was really demented, But after he died and passed on to the next bearers I noticed their gaze too」

"I see"

As Issei looked at the ceiling, He couldn't say anything else, It seems that now he will have to deal with that gaze too, His point of investigation will be those beings right now, There is a great possibility that they are the ones responsible for this power.

"There's no way to contact them, is there? The observers, didn't your previous bearer's investigation make much progress?"

「No, it didn't make much progress at all, the only thing he discovered is that they can't intervene directly in this world, That's why he gave them that name, Because they can only observe」

Issei sighed, What will he do now? It's not possible to contact them, Apparently not many people know about these beings, Even the dragon emperor didn't know, Only because of the bearer of that time could he notice them, it will be difficult to get more information even in the supernatural world..

"About your question of why they look at me, I really don't know, I didn't know they existed in the first place, If they can't intervene, shouldn't we ignore their gaze? Right now let's focus on a more urgent matter"

Discarding the previous conversation and ignoring those beings for now, Issei asked the red dragon emperor about how to assert his dominion in this place to avoid the magic circles

N/T: Short chapter, I decided to end the raiser arc to see if I give it a reboot or not. If you notice any mistakes let me know.
