DxD : i am the honored one

"Acnologia? Black Dragon Emperor? What do you mean?" Hanzo wondered, he had studied a lot of information and history of this world. He knew the strongest beings from the past and present. However, this name was completely unfamiliar to him.

"Huh? Don't you know that Acnologia has been sleeping inside you all this time? Hmm quite similar to how Albion and I were in our hosts… It seems like you possess a Sacred Gear, human brat." Ddraig said.

"No, I don't know anything about it. Not even the fact that I possess a Sacred Gear." Hanzo answered honestly. To be exact, he had never thought that he would possess a Sacred Gear. Hanzo had studied Sacred Gears and that they would appear inside the host from the moment they were born. Hanzo wasn't from this world so he always thought that he didn't possess a Sacred Gear. 

"You were already strong even before awakening your Sacred Gear. Now I'm curious about how strong you'll be after awakening your Sacred Gear." Ddraig said, feeling a bit impressed by the power the person before him possessed. A human who could overwhelm the powerful Hakuryuko. 

"So Ddraig, do you know anything about the Sacred Gear that I possess?" Hanzo wondered. 

"To be honest, I don't know. I only know that your Sacred Gear is linked to the soul of the Black Dragon Emperor. After all, in all of history, you were the first to awaken Acnologia. I'm also curious about this Sacred Gear, it might have powers on the Longinus level like Booster Gear and Divine Dividing. "As much as I don't want to admit it, Acnologia is on the same level of power as me and Albion." Ddraig replied.

"So this dragon called Acnologia is also a Heavenly Dragon? Why haven't I found any information about it? Most of the information I've found is about you and your fight with Albion." Hanzo wondered, wanting to know more about the dragon that resided deep within him.

"Acnologia isn't a Heavenly Dragon. Even though he has the power to compete with me and Albion for that title, he's too lazy to do so. He chose to lazily rest instead of fighting alongside me and Albion. He's a lazy dragon, but that helped me and Albion eliminate an opponent." Ddraig said.

"A powerful but lazy dragon? So how the hell did he get sealed into a Sacred Gear like you." Hanzo was a little speechless with the information he had just received.

'In the past, Ddraig and Albion fought the leaders of the Three Factions, causing their bodies to be destroyed and their souls to be sealed into Sacred Gears. What happened to Acnologia?' Hanzo thought.

"Hmmm… He got bored so he fought the Ouroboros Dragon and got killed." Ddraig replied simply. 

"Heh?" Hanzo couldn't believe what he just heard. 

"… He once said, 'I will sleep until I meet that person who will bring chaos to the world. He will help me become a dragon stronger than the Ouroboros Dragon and the Apocalypse Dragon. When I wake up, the world will collapse.' He once said that to me… What an ambitious man. And it seems like the person he has been waiting for has finally appeared. " 

"He was once a troublemaker, countless civilizations were destroyed by Acnologia. He then became depressed because he had no purpose in life. However, it seems like things are different this time. Once again the name Kokuryu will strike fear into the world." Ddraig continued talking about Acnologia.

"Pfff you mean the person that dragon was talking about was me?" Hanzo laughed.

"That's right… Although I don't know why he chose you." Ddraig said.

"Who knows." Hanzo shrugged at Ddraig's words. He wanted to rule this world but he didn't have any thoughts of destroying the world. Hanzo then continued speaking.

"Can you help me meet this Acnologia guy, I've always used my own power (system) so I don't know how to awaken my Sacred Gear."

"I think I can help you awaken your Sacred Gear but I'm not sure if you can contact Acnologia directly." Ddraig replied.

"How?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way. However, I won't help you for free." Ddraig said. "So what do you want, Red Dragon Emperor." Hanzo asked curiously.

"Help my host become stronger." Ddraig said.

"Huh? Why do you think I can help him become stronger?"

"You're the one who defeated Hakiryuko. So you can train or help my host."

Hanzo was at a loss for words at Ddraig's simple logic. Although he was willing to accept it, he didn't want to appear as someone who could be easily asked for help.

"This town is the territory of devils, currently Issei is being targeted by a devil in this town. She's the heiress of a noble family and she wants to make Issei her servant. Wouldn't it be better for Issei to become her servant and become stronger instead of me training him?"

"No… you mean my host becomes a reincarnated devil and becomes a servant? That's humiliating." Ddraig growled, he was a proud dragon so he didn't want his host to become a devil's servant. For Ddraig, that was a huge insult.

"Human, can you guide my host properly? Don't let my host become a devil's servant."

"Well, I can't promise anything. I don't have the right to force him to become a devil or not." Hanzo simply shrugged.

"Your name is Hanzo right? Hanzo, if you can convince my host not to become a devil, then Ddraig will owe you a favor." Ddraig said.

Hanzo pretended to think for a moment before he nodded in agreement to Ddraig's deal.

"Alright..." Before Hanzo could finish his words, a huge killing intent pressed down on his body.

Even though he was just a sealed soul, Hanzo had entered here to meet Ddraig, so the dragon's killing intent would still affect Hanzo. Hanzo grimaced and tightened his body, he also released his own pressure to block Ddraig's killing intent. However, it seemed that the gap in strength between the two was too great. Hanzo felt like a giant waterfall was pressing down on his body.

'Tsk, this pressure is too terrifying.' Hanzo clenched his fists trying to endure Ddraig's killing intent. 

A blue light appeared on Hanzo's left hand. A black gauntlet that looked like a black steel alloy with dark-toned details appeared on it. In the middle of the gauntlet, a blue gem glowed with a mysterious aura. 

As soon as he saw the gauntlet appear on Hanzo's left hand, Ddraig stopped his killing intent before saying. 

"How does it feel to become the first Kokuryutei in history?"
