World Rebellion
What If I were to tell you that this was not your story. That your whole life was meant as a stepping stone for somebody else. That all this was long since decided in ages long past. That no matter how you resist nothing will change.
Tell me is such a thing acceptable
To Die knowing you accomplish nothing, To Die Knowing that you couldn't possibly accomplish anything, To Die knowing that all this was the hand you were given by a shitty God.
Perfected Pillar 1
Without Realization the 'World' Moves
I'm in pain, I can't move my body, I am freezing…
Those were the thought currently racing through my mind right now over and over and over and over again endlessly on repeat. Nevermind the fact that I was laying face first onto the muddy ground right now, nevermind the fact that it was freezing outside, nevermind the fact that it raining, nevermind the fact there were laughter echoing near me.
All I could focus on and on were those pure simple thoughts.
I'm in pain, I can't move my body, It freezing.
Ah wait no there was one other thing I could focus on. Honestly that other thing been bothering me for a while now. As I laid here but at this point I think it had long since grown to a level where I can no longer ignore it. When I first woke up here it was just a simple aching feeling that was simple to ignore. But every time the laughing in the distanced echoed out it grew stronger and stronger. As if to say to me that the source of that laughter was the cause for my current predicament.
Honestly it all really annoying. Before all this shit I was just going to bed when bam all the sudden I woke up here (wherever here is) faced flat on the mud feeling like I been just put through a meat grinder.
Using what little strength I can muster in what I am assuming to be my beat up battered body, I flipped myself up to at least lay facing the rainy sky and not mud. Suddenly the laughing in the distanced stop giving me some respite from that annoying feeling in my heart. Sadly my respite didn't last very long as I began hearing footsteps approaching my direction. Causing that annoying feeling in my heart to return because why fucking not.
" My oh my what do we have here? A rodent that yet learned his place perhaps?" Echoed out a voice belonging to 1 of the 3 stooges that currently staring down on me.
"I believe than we should teach him his lesson. Don't want him get a any strange idea right?" said a different voice.
" well than my fellow high class devils shall we proceed with our extracurricular lesson than." Proposed the last of the voices.
Devil? As in those thing that suppose to steal my soul away that appear way too many times in anime. If so no wonder these guy are acting like asshole then. Sheesh I deal with bullying regularly from human and now devils what next god?
" Now then do you have any opinion to state before we start our extracurricular lesson, well not that it matters anyway." Said a one of the stooges. (Honestly can't tell which is which they're all so stereotypical it hurts.)
In any normal situation I would just stayed silent and prep for the beating I was so obviously about to receive makes it end faster. But today been a shit day so far I woken up on the wrong side of the bed with SEVER back pain and I am freezing due to leaving my 'window' open. Not only that but I wake up having to deal with these idiots along with the fact that their an annoying feeling in my chest practically screaming.
KIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THHEEEEEMMMMMMMM.
Safe to say I am feeling VERY pissed off right now so fuck my vanity going to bitch and whine what I want to Bitch and whine about.
Gather every last ounce of strength I could I shouted with deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep, point in case it very deep ANGER!
"OYYYY YOU FUCKING BASTAAARDDDD I RECOMMEND YOU GET YOUR FUCKING AASSSSSS CHECK BECAUSE THEY'RE A FUCKING 30FT POLE STICKING RIGHT OUT OF THEM!"
And just like that I lost consciousness.
Timeskip no Justu
My eventual return to consciousness (THANK GOD) was greet by a wall of blinding light that were most likely just the lightbulbs in the room. So after my eyes got used it I sat up to inspect myself of injuries.
Good news there seem to be nothing to serious as there are not any casts covering over anything only bandages. Also I don't know why but it seems that I wasn't attached to any life support machine so either my life was not in any danger or this place has some strange standards. Since from what I can gather the guy that must own this place is fucking rich.
I mean from what I could see from beyond the curtains. The wall are colored all red with some really lavish wallpaper with a bunch of weird gold patterns printed on them. As for the curtain covering around my bed well they were also red with strange golden pattern on them though an interesting about these that I just notice is that their an emblem on said curtain made of the same kind of golden color as the patterns were made. Specifically the emblem of the Phenex, no not the bird but the demon from the 72 ars goetia (Thank you anime for the wisdom you have granted me).
Man the guy that own this place must be a chuuni I mean why else would he have something like this…. Wait a minute didn't those guy that knocked me out claim to be a devil… Nahhhhh they must be this guy kids I mean why else would they declare something like that without any shame.
Shame on you, guy that raised the fuckers that KO'ed me don't you bloody know it not a good thing to teach kids the way of the chuuni at such a young age. Now look at the result of your action a battered up high schooler that you now have to care for until he healthy again and 3 delinquent children.
Suddenly out of nowhere my inner monologue was cut short by the sound of the door to this room opening revealing I don't know who because these curtain are blocking my view. Thankfully that wouldn't last long as I slowly heard to foots steps slowly approach me until eventually the curtains opened. Revealing a tanned adult man that seems to be somewhere in his 20s with a slightly square shaped head with blond hair spiked toward the back and teal blue eyes. The guy sported a neatly kept goatee wearing what I could best described as a red tuxedo with red and gold shoulder pieces (Epaulette) similar to the ones the french wear except these were completely rectangular along with a red a black high collar.
" Ah you're it seems you are awake." the man said in a voice that slightly sound like Riser Phenex from Highschool DxD but well deeper. As he closed the curtain and walked closer to my side.
Now how to respond, well since he did save me from whatever injuries those brats gave me I guess I could try my usual shy and timid approach.
" U..ummm sir can you please tell me where I am and who you are."
" Ah forgive my rudeness I seem to have forgotten proper introduction." Said the guy as he took a few step back away from me. " My name is Gai Phenex the current head of the Phenex of the 33 Pillars." As if to prove who he is suddenly the curtains set on fire to create a wall of flame all around me as Gai spread his arms. "As for where we are well we are in the personal hospital room inside my manor. Now why don't you introduce yourself" He finished and lowered his arms causing the flaming wall to return to fancy curtains.
Holy shitooo. I am dealing with the real thing here ain't I. I mean there no way that wall of fire was just a bunch of special effect especially when I could feel the heat from it yet the bastard was standing in the middle of said flame like it didn't bother him at all.
Wait a minute wouldn't that mean that I am dealing with a genuine devil here?... OH MY VARIOUS GODS AND HADOU GODS. I am in a bloody manga or anime or light novel or visual novel or fanfic or any other form of media I am not naming.
Okay stay calm Zaxan and introduce yourself. You kept the scary flame devil waiting long enough already.
" Ah sorry for the wait sir my name Zaxan Ark I'm a human... Pardon the question but can you tell me why such a powerful devil such as yourself save me?" I asked pretty blunt at that.
Raising an eyebrow at my question Gai responded with " I admit that it would be pretty strange for a high class devil like me to just help a human out of the kindness of my heart especially with our reputation. But don't worry I have no intention to force you to do anything you don't want to."
Avoiding the question huh? Smart Gai. Eh eh eh… i'll stop now.
.
.
.
.
Anyway after that last question there wasn't very much to talk about. Leading to an very awkward silent staring contest between us. As we kinda just signaled using our eyes and various other actions for each other to start a conversation. Sadly for him however I am an expert in such an activity. I will have you know that I once avoided having to answer to a confession just by staying completely silent. In fact I am so good at it that I am pretty sure I could best even politician so don't even try buddy.
.
.
.
.
" Ahuuummm" raising his fist to fake cough into it. It seems Gai has finally learned the foolish price that is to challenge me in a awkward silence contest.
Moving farther away from me Gai eventually reached the curtain. Then with a snap of his finger the curtains around my bed opened completely revealing a room with even more fancy rich red and gold things that I am simply to lazy to describe right now.
"Well seeing as you just woke up from a 2 hour nap after such an intensive 'workout' I imagine you must be pretty hungry care to join me for dinner."
Thinking now yeah I guess I am pretty hungry. Dang it seems my many hours of playing Starcraft without eating has finally started to affect my sense of starvation.
" Well I am pretty hungry so I guess I will take you up on that offer." Though it pretty strange how dinner would be just about ready when I woke up or that Gai would visit at that moment to. But hey he a devil so I guess you can hand wave it as magic or plot stupidity.
" Well then why don't we get going...Oh but first quick question can you walk?" Gai asked me with a bit of concern in his voice.
" I think I will be okay as it is." I answered as I began to move my legs to the floor and stand up albeit with slight trouble most likely because I was just tired.
" Then follow" Gai said while motioning with his hand for me to come closer.
Taking his invitation I made my way to the door and then proceeded to follow Gai to wherever.
5 or so minutes timeskip
Awkward
Yes if I had to choose a word to describe the current atmosphere it would be just that. It has been 5 whole fucking minutes since me and Gai had left the hospital ward and we are still walking to what I can only assume to be the dining hall.
Throughout this entire walk me and him has been more or less silent thus creating this awkward atmosphere. Sure Gai would try to start a conversation every now and then but I would just shoot the idea down with a one word answer each time. Curse my horrible conversational skills for being a textbook definition of a nerd curse you.
" Well then I was saving this for dinner but with the atmosphere currently between us may as well ask now. Tell me a bit about yourself. Your hobbies, past, etc anything you feel like." Interrupting my train of thought Gai once again tried to start a conversation with me for what the 20th time now. Albeit this is an actually good question so I play along.
" Well where to start hmmm. Well I lived quite an average life up till now if not a fortunate one. My family after all were considered to be one of the more wealthy individuals. Though we were nowhere near as rich as you…" I said as I began to turn my gaze to the various expensive looking vases and painting on the wall left of me.
" I myself lived an averagely sheltered life until 2 hours ago. Focusing my free time on average everyday human things. As for hobbies well I don't want to talk about it."
And like that I managed to somehow even turn my short life story that should have jumped started an entire conversation on a sour note.
.
.
.
"No magic?"
"Huh?" I wondered
" Did your parents ever teach you any form of magic?" Gai inquired genuinely curious.
Why would he wondered if I was taught magic or not? I told him myself that I myself spent my free time just doing regular human things. Well no harm in telling him I guess.
" My parents did not teach me any kind of magic whatsoever."
At my response I noticed Gai raised an eyebrow probably in genuine curiosity. As his eye stared down at me as if studying an unknown animal. The gleam I saw in them spoke plenty for his current situation. interest as if he the investment he made for a mining site had just struck diamond.
In the end the whole thing only seemed to have increased to awkward atmosphere around us. Especially with the fact that Gai is no longer trying to start conversation as it seem studying me has taken greater priority. With me trying my best to avoid his gaze the entire time
.
.
.
" Ah it seems that we have arrived." Snapping both me and himself out of that strange situation we were in. It seems Gai and me finally reached the dining room. Or rather the gigantic 40ft tallish twin red doors that separate us from the dining room.
Walking just a bit closer to them as if in response to Gai oncoming presence the doors began to slowly open. Revealing a lavish dining room. The first thing I noticed about this room was the fact that there was only one chandelier just right above the rectangular dining table that look like it was made to comfortably serve for around 20 eaters.
The second thing I noticed after my brain fully processed it was that this gigantic room was being pretty well lit despite there only being one chandelier and here's why it because in the fours corners of the room there were pit of FUCKING FIRE patterned in the shape of the Phenex emblem! As for wall and such they were the same old same old like the rest of the mansion I have seen thus far there were painting, vases, and other expensive looking things. Finally the wall closest to the dining table were filled with window giving one a view of a vast country side.
" Will it be just us?" I asked Gai stilled in a bit of wonder at the FLAMING PITS OF FIRE!
" Ah no, the rest of my family will soon arrive. For now how about me and you take a seat." Gai answered as he slowly made his way to the table.
Following his action I to made my way toward the table sitting down on a random chair near the middle of the gigantic rectangular table while Gai sat at one of the ends with a chair clearly more well expensive looking than the others.
And like that there was simply another awkward silence. Dang how many does that make so far in the first chapter alone.
Thankfully this time around the silence did not last very long as 2 magical circles with the phenex emblem flared up from the floor near our table revealing 2 figures.
One was a beautiful women that looks to be in her early 20s with a perfect heart shape face and a quiet bountiful figure to say the least almost on the side of monstrous if you ask me but hey this is a light novel/manga/anime/fanfic/whatever I did not mention. So anything like this is okay and is consider fanservice I suppose. Speaking of fanservice let talk about her dress it was a pretty looking fancy red dress with what looks to be phoenix feather sticking out upward near the back of the neck and the area around her upper breast were quite exposed for all to see. The women had beautiful blond hair tied into a bun and her eyes were blue like Gai. Near to bottom of her dress I noticed that there were fancy gold pattern engraved near it. On the back of her hip there were phoenix tails sticking out downwards.
The other figure was a fairly teenage looking guy maybe 18 at most with a rectangular shaped head. The guy surprisingly was the only one amongst these people to not be wearing something red rather he just wore a ordinary business white suit. Also his hair was blond and his eyes were blue like Gai and the mysterious lady. His Hair styled in a hmmm how to put this rich billionaire play boy style.
"Ahh Ruval, Alma how nice of you two to finally join us." Gai greeted them.
Wait, Wait, Wait a minute Ruval. Concluding this guy last name is Phenex like Gai then well why is it that this guy name feel so familiar. I don't know but I honestly feel like I have heard of this guy before but where…
Actually I feel as if I have seen this entire castle before especially the flame theme. Then again I could just be seeing things and it could just be a coincidence concluding how these guy are suppose to be Phenex from the ars goetia. But even then Gai and especially Ruval remind me all of a certain Fried Chicken from a 2nd rate hentai or nukige.
" Sorry for the wait okaa-san meeting ended up being longer than expected." the guy I am assuming to be Ruval said.
" It was horrible honey you would not beleive the people I had to deal with-" After that the women probably name Alma just broke into a random tangent about political shit I didn't understand.
Her tangent just suddenly ended out of nowhere though when her eyes landed on me. For some reason the fact that she kinda just figured out I am here made her eyes widened in surprise before she quickly stiffened up as if to prepare for combat. Moving my eyes over to the side a bit I noticed Ruval seems to also be pretty weary to say the least about my existence.
Wonder why that is, I mean these guy are treating the fact that they just recently noticed me just now as if it was one most terrifying thing they have ever seen. Hell if I didn't know any better I say they were just about ready to attack me.
" Ahhh Alma, Ruval calm down this was the interesting guest I told you about. Zaxan why don't you introduce yourself to them." Gai said in a hurry.
Immediately after the 2 calmed down completely. Well guess it intro time.
" Zaxan. Zaxan Ark. Im just another high schooler that likes to waste his life doing nothing special." Thus like that the mood in the room dropped to an all time low. Truly my bad conversational skill has transcended that of something that would normally be indicated by having negative of a certain skill like charisma and transformed into a new ability of it own.
The specifics of this ability is that it create a negative aura around me that can instantly lower the general mood of the atmosphere. That combined with the skill Word To The Point allow to make any and all conversation turn awkward.
" Well that is certainly an interesting introduction. I must say that you are as every bit of mysterious as my husband made you out the be." Alma said powering through the awkward moment.
" Indeed I must admit at first I could not believe the things my father was saying about you but now after seeing things for myself. I must admit I am quite surprised." Co-Co-Combo breaker. Ruval in for the support.
Also the bloody hell are they talking about when they said I am 'Interesting'. In my eyes the interesting thing here is them. Unless… ccc-could they be possibly talking about my soul!?
Crap I should have known this day was coming. I mean with all the sins I committed i'm surprised these fucks didnt come for me sooner. Ah it seems this is Ji Endo for Zaxan pathetic excuses for a life.
" Well now that we're all here why don't we begins." Gai said.
" Hmm? Father will Riser and Ravel not be joining us today?" Asked Ruval as he made his way to a random seat and sat down.
" Ah well Riser is currently busy with school related matters and thus must stay for tutoring as for Ravel it seems she will be eating over at the Beleth manor with her friends." Answered Alma as she also took a seat at an end of the rectangular table opposite to Gai.
I mean my soul probably be ripped painfully from my body and then-. Wait a minute did these guys just say Riser and Ravel. As in Riser and Ravel Phenex from Highschool DxD. Nah can't be I mean-
*Take a quick look at Ruval*
Hmmm now that I think about it Ruval and Riser do look nearly identical to each other especially since Ruval seems to be only 18 so I am guessing this is pre-canon.
.
.
.
Well, will you look at that I am in a 3rd rate hentai… FFUUUCCCCKKKKK. Why oh why did it have to be DxD of all shows. The one show that I hated on because it main character and a certain red haired main heroine were complete and utter shit. The show with rules so extremely loose that Oppai could become a source for POWAH UP.
I mean don't get me wrong I don't hate the show itself just the 2 center character that we spend 90% of our time with. I though it had genuine potential which is what made me read through like what 18 volumes of the Light novel. Hoping every moment it would get better. Spoiler alert it gets worse/ needlessly more idiotic and perverted. Well except for that one time Kiba basically took over as the protag when Issei was dead. Best part of the entire novel in my opinion 10/10.
Hmmm thinking now that probably why I am in this universe because author me felt cheated and wanted to vent his anger a bit by making a fanfic. How petty but that would be just like me to do such an asinine thing.
" Ah seems that the food is ready. Everyone feel free to start eating immediately to accommodate our guest." said Gai. Thus the entire table including me began to start eating a wide variety of food such as steak, chicken, salads, and soups.
.
.
.
" So..ch.. Zaxan how are you enjoying the meal." Asked Gai just as he finished chewing the slice of steak in his mouth. Just as I also finished the soup in front of me, pushing it away from me where it suddenly vanished. " The food good. the best I ever had in fact. I just wish there was a way to pay you back for all the hospitality to given me."
At that moment Gai mouth went up to make an odd smirk before simply turning into a regular friendly smile. I don't know how I noticed such a thing maybe it because my cognitive prowess went up… or it could be the fact that everything seems to look, well anime now all the sudden and I find reading anime expression easier then RL expression.
Either way Gai reaction was just how I wanted him to react. Making him think I am so indebted to him that I do almost anything. After all with the interest he has shown in me no doubt I have some kind of OP badass powah hidden inside of me. Devils like Gai would never pass down the opportunity for such power and no doubt try to get me under their slave leashes the first chance they get. Plus now that i'm in DxD I'm currently homeless anyways so this is better than nothing.
" Well there is something you could do but considering what it would be I am not sure you would like the idea." Gai said a bit nervously or acting a bit nervously I should say.
Leaning my body closer to him to make it seem like I am actually excited at the prospect of repaying him back I asked acting excitedly " Well what that? Cmon lay it on me it can't be that bad."
Scratching the back of his head a bit "Well you if you insist… You see my two younger son and daughter Riser and Ruval. I worry about their future. Riser despite all the talent he has that rival if not surpasses his two older brother, has his head constantly filled with the idea of only women and barely ever even train. For Ruval case it the exact opposite though she has a good head on her shoulder and studies plenty putting her absolute best in everything, she lacks the talent that her other sibling were born with. Though I have absolute confidence that they will without a doubt grow up to be something more one day as a father I just can't help to simply worry."
" So you want me to what exactly though I can't imagine someone like me can just barge in and change someone's entire ideals on life nor can I just give someone talent." I ask despite knowing all too well the direction this was more or less going.
" No neither of that I want you to simply be a pillar of support for these two or a motivator. Someone that they could rely on if they were to ever fall down a pillar of support if you will or perhaps a source of motivation for both of them should they ever fall behind in their training."
" Well that doesn't sound so bad in fact if that all I have to do I happily accept." Well this seal it in more than one way. The first and obvious interpretation is that I just sold my soul to a devil for eternal goddam servitude. What not obvious is the 2nd interpretation. That is, Gai believe I am someone strong enough to stand by his son and daughter side as a pillar of support despite having 0 training in magic and possibly beat them should they be lazy in their training. Man my hidden powah must be bat shit HAXXX OP.
" Don't' get too far ahead of yourself kiddo I am not finished yet." Gai said. Well technically he is right so far he hasn't officially ask me to become a servant under them yet. Just take care of them.
"The last important part is that you will serve under them as a member of there peerage in other words you will be a servant." And there the it is folks. " Sadly currently neither Riser nor Ruval is old enough to officially obtain their evil pieces so for now your basically on trial run"
Hmm didnt expect this part. "So to take advantage of that fact you will not be immediately reincarnated a devil. During the time from now to their time to receive the evil pieces you will make try to make friend with them and receive proper training to become a servant under a noble household while also being train in magic since as you said before you have never been train in the arts and that is something simply unacceptable for a servant under to noble Phenex house." Dang I really didn't expect this. To not immediately have to reincarnate as a devil but also receive proper magical training from tutors entrusted by the Phenex house. All the pluses! Though having to learn manners is a big black stain but who cares I going to be a WIZARD.
"Under all these condition do you still accept this deal." Gai finished loudly.
To that I only had one thing to do and say, Looking at him straight in the eyes I uttered only one word. "YES!"
And like that my 'uphill battle against the [World] of DxD began'. Though at that time I could never possibly imagine what those words truly meant even if I were to be told them then and there.

Timeskip 8 hours night time
In the dead of night in the living room of the Phenex manor. 3 shadowy figures had come together to discuss the issue of their current guess who was sleeping in a random servant room somewhere else.
With a simple fan of flame from the fireplace the identity of these figures were pretty swiftly revealed. The heir to the Phenex house Ruval Phenex. The current head of the house Gai Phenex. And finally the wife of Gai Phenex, Alma Phenex.
"Father are you sure it such a good idea to leave both Riser and Ravel future to this man, this human that never been trained in the art of magic before especially since you sense no Sacred Gear from him?" Asked the son.
" Trust me Ruval when I say that despite his lack of proper training and of Sacred Gear he is still someone worthy of such an investment simply watch the video and find out." Replied the father. Having watched the video already and thus knowing of his guess true potential.
" Is so dear I wonder can a normal human with no special bloodline nor sacred gear really be that powerful?" Alma questioned Gai.
In response Gai simply snapped his fingers to create what looks to be a hologram-ish floating screen from his magic and begun playing the video.
Immediately the video showed the sight of a batter bruised bleeding kid probably no older than 9. Wearing a jet black hooded trench coat with the hood down the bottom of the coat flapping due to the wind, showed the dirtied dark red jean he was wearing. His figure was quite skinny matching that of their guess. Their face was matching to messy jet black hair as if the universes itself was held within them. An average looking Asian man face with bags under his dead eyes, which were a hue of yellow that made it looked like he was looking down on someone as if they were trash.
The most attention drawing feature however were the wings coming out of his back though calling them wings in the first place could be a stretch. The 'wings' looked closer to that of pure white elongated cylinder that were 4 feet longs like that of a blade generated by a lightsaber from Star Battle [Star Wars] though the tips of both ends closed into a cone shape and well there was only the blade that existed floating near the boys back acting like wings. In grand total there were only 6 of them.
Immediately after the scene switch to the same kid beating up 3 recognizable young high class one sidedly with only his fist. Thought the other party tried to fight back against the hooded kid despite their superior number and skills in magic. Every magical spell that got close to the hooded boy were erased from existence 'as if they were never launched in the first place'. When they realized magic had no effect they tried their fist but like magic ' It was has if they never raised it in defiance in the first place'.
.
.
.
After a bit 3 more high class devil appear only this time they were all adults accompanied by their peerage. The 3 Phenex family instantly recognized them as the brother's and sister of the 3 kids now lying broken and batter under Zaxan feet.
The reaction was immediate within the instant of a single blink the older devils had personally procured the safety of their 3 brothers while also sending their peerage to deal with this 'filth'.
The first wave of attack came from the magician who despite being in different peerages had somehow uniformly worked together to weave and strengthen their magic. Before the Zaxan could even react he was already surrounded by various magical spells that had been launched at him and chained down by various more magical spells. The assortment of spells surrounding the boy were all individually powerful but with them all together some even combining into one too further strengthen each other. The spell held enough strength to instantly vaporized any high class devil and perhaps even heavily damage and ultimate class.
Sadly for the peerage and their kings these spell would only meet the same fate as the ones launched by their younger brother's. Instantly when the various assortment of spells got too close to Zaxan his wing shone brighter than ever and like that each and every spells including the ones binding him down disappeared.
Simply choosing to believe magic had no effect on the boy 1 of the king sent a knight to
Deal with the boy while another chose a rook. Both dashed at Zaxan at the same time but the knight being the faster one of the two arrived first and with a single swing of her sword sliced Zaxan head right off his body…Or rather that was what she saw. In fact at that moment if one were to ask the entire party there what happened? The common answer would be that the boy head had flown off his body. Yet the scene shown to the Phenex family was that of Zaxan completely fine staring emptily into space while the sword of the knight had stopped at the skin of Zaxan neck not even making a small scratch.
Not knowing what exactly was going on the rook simply continue her charge to catch up with the knight who was for some reason frozen exactly in place. Disappearing in one final burst of speed the rook appeared right in front of Zaxan and with the a single blow of her mighty fist blew Zaxan head to pieces...or at least that was what she believed to have happened at that time. For once again the scene shown on the Phenex screen was Zaxan completely fine with the knight still frozen in place while the rook fist looked to be only touching Zaxan skin. Not a single wound had been inflicted.
Seeing that her attack had no effect the rook immediately jump back for safety. At that time the knight was also freed from whatever was holding her in place and followed after.
Once both were at a safe distance from Zaxan both servants began reporting to their king about the strangeness of Zaxan powers. The thing that caught the Phenex family attention the most however was the knight report. For according to her despite trying multiple times to get away, whenever she would reach her king she would come back to the same position she was in. Which is strange to say the least because according to the recording the Phenex family saw the knight was simply frozen in place the whole time.
Coming to the false conclusion that Zaxan power were limited on his reaction the 3 kings decided to simply continuous bombard Zaxan from different angles at different times until Zaxan could no longer react or at least exhaust his magic supply. Little did they know at that time however was that such a strategy would only lead them into an endless game of cat and mouse for the next 10 minutes with no result to show for.
Any and all attack launched at Zaxan during that time was completely nullified no matter what angle they tried to attack from. While at the same time Zaxan who began retaliating some when in that time had no way to harm the fully grown high class devil and their peerage. Zaxan attacks were normally FAR too slow to even land on any one of the opposition even the bishop and rooks had to use little effort to avoid Zaxan attacks. While the punches that did land due to the opponent carelessness or maybe underestimation, were not strong enough to do any damage.
This would all continue until the designated 10 minute mark when Zaxan pointed an opened palm toward the knight that first attack him right when she had begun charging at him. The knight noticing that Zaxan was trying something new since the start of the battle immediately cautioned up. Sadly despite that fact all she did was cautioned up for the scene that was shown on the Phenex side was her simply continuing her charge forward. Though the Phenex family did take note of the fact that mid way through the expression on the knight face turn into one of absolute horror.
Expectantly yet unexpectedly when the knight got too close to Zaxan something did happened. What no one expected however was that rather than some kind of energy blast a hole instead was suddenly made right through the knight stomach area and it was by no mean small either as said hole threatened to split the knight lower and upper halves in two.
From there on the situation would only ever get worse and worse for the 3 kings and their peerage. Much to the slightly partial dismay of the Phenex family mostly because they were actually kind of familiar with them. Finally the video would end on a shot of Zaxan standing on top of the beat up bodies of the Kings and their peerage with maybe 1 or 2 corpses littered here and there.
.
.
.
For a while there was only deafening silence between the Phenex family gathered there as they slowly and silently processed the footages they had just bared witness too.
"Father are you sure this was not edited in anyway or form." At last the silence would be broken by the oldest son of the Phenex household. Questioning the validity of the video he had just saw.
" I had the servants check with only my most trusted sources themselves according to them there were no form of tampering with it.
