DxD: The Holy Knight!

The surrounding areas were quickly restored.

Through Yasuhiro's immense power, everything returned to its state as if time had reversed.

As for the trees that were destroyed, Yasuhiro hadn't reached the point where he could create living things out of thin air.

Even if he could, the energy required would be considerable, and no one would waste it on something so trivial.

Things that were destroyed could only be concealed with illusions or magic tricks.

As time passed, the illusion would slowly fade away, and the hidden damage would be revealed.

Though, this would happen slowly with a long transition period in between, so the ordinary people wouldn't feel the change was abrupt.

They would assume that these ruined things appeared naturally with the passage of time.

Fearing that mortals in the human world might discover the supernatural and cause a panic, many supernatural factions took the same approach when dealing with the remains of a battle.

"Regarding holy lightning, I hope you can improve upon it and create a skill that truly suits you."

Inside the shrine, the three of them knelt beside a tea table.

"Improve it?" Rias and Akeno both showed expressions of surprise.

That was the terrifying holy lightning that shook the underworld.

It couldn't be improved with just a simple suggestion.

Moreover, Akeno hadn't yet integrated with or developed the holy lightning, let alone independently transformed it into her own unique skill.

"The improvement I'm referring to isn't some kind of refinement or optimization."

"It's simply about removing the factors that are detrimental to your control, making holy lightning more suitable for you to use."

"Of course, it's possible that the raw power will be weakened after the improvement but it'll undoubtedly be more suitable for you," Yasuhiro explained clearly.

He always believed that only what was suitable was the best.

Otherwise, even if another person's power was strong, forcibly taking it for oneself would lead to insufficient compatibility.

The strength that could be exerted would be only a fraction of what it was and it might even have a adverse effect on a person's own development.

He had seen this kind of thing far too often in the church.

Those people often ended up becoming eccentric exorcists, blindly pursuing powers that weren't suitable for them ultimately leading to their own self destruction.

Akeno and Rias nodded in understanding.

"Then how should I improve holy lightning?" Akeno asked in confusion.

"Your words are clear and but when it comes to taking action, I'm still clueless."

"I don't know what to do."

Meanwhile, Rias also perked up her ears and listened intently.

In Rias's mind, Yasuhiro was more like a knowledgeable person than a maou class being.

Whether it was questions about power training or the secrets hidden deep within the world, it seemed that he understood everything.

Moreover, time had consistently proven this point.

Whether it was the creation of the brave saint cards that could reincarnate people as angels or his knowledge, it was undoubtedly the most compelling evidence.

She also wanted to learn some useful experience from the improvements to holy lightning so she could develop and utilize her own power of destruction.

"Everything has two sides, just like you haven't mastered the fusion of true holy lightning yet."

"Making improvements in the early stages of your training will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble, and even increase your potential for growth."

Just as Yasuhiro said, if Akeno had already fully mastered holy lightning, all that could be done was to make minor adjustments in the later stages.

Making improvements in the early stages of training was equivalent to adding new and special elements.

It would change the appearance of holy lightning as the skill was completed, making it more suitable for Akeno to control and use.

"What you lack most right now is a thorough understanding of lightning," Yasuhiro said.

"What do you mean by understanding lightning?" Akeno was puzzled.

Yasuhiro seemed to see through Akeno's thoughts and spoke directly.

"Lightning represents violence, penetration, and speed. Fire is often born alongside lightning."

"Ancient people even regarded lightning as the scepter of the gods, acting as a kind of divine punishment."

"The lightning you used before lost all of those inherent characteristics."

"Without truly understanding lightning, even if you have the power within you, you will never be able to unleash its true might."

Akeno felt a little embarrassed.

Before, when she used her holy lightning, it was criticized as being all show and no substance.

Now, Yasuhiro was practically calling it a fake.
