There are people who think devils are not evil. That they have just been given the role of being the evil ones, while angels are the good ones.
They are wrong.
Devils are evil, merciless, and as soon as you expose your weakness to them, they will exploit it. I hate devils. They are the plague.
My name is Ayato, and I'm a half-devil.
Currently
I'm running trough the forest that is the uninhabited lands of the underground, a.k.a hell. It almost seems like a rain forest. My pullover got completely burned, and I have a scar on my right shoulder blade.
The devils are still chasing me. Even though I'm just a lowly half-devil, they aren't giving up. I felt killing intent, so I closed my eyes, and redirected my power to my feet and I disappeared , the devil that was levitating above the tree line widened his eyes in surprise. Of course, he couldn't know that I know the basics of using senjutsu, but I'm half-devil, I need everything and anything that can give me the edge over pure bloods.
And now I will give it back to you 10fold.
I appeared in front of him and kicked him in the stomach. He lost his balance and hit the ground 15 meters ahead. I span midair and got my foot ready to curb-stomp him from air.
He is a low level devil, so that should kill him. Before landing I felt a high level energy bolt coming my way in high speed. I tried to spin to dodge it, but I can only do that much. I can't fly yet, probably because I'm a half-devil. The energy bolt flied past me, but it scraped the left side of my face. I landed beside the knocked out devil, and I barely got my arms up in time to block the kick that was coming my way.
''Now you lowly half-spawn, come, I will grant you the only freedom you deserve. Death!'' – The devil was strong. Too strong for me.
I was using my right hand to get up. I coughed blood and could barely stand. I couldn't move my left arm, I guess it broke. He was waiting for me to beggin.
''Come, what are you waiting for? If you make this longer than it needs to be, then other devils will come.''
''You're right.'' – I answered. I stood in front of him. ''But you know what? It doesn't even hurt. I can still move. It's been a day already, yet I haven't stopped moving. Why is that?''
''...'' He just looked at me blankly, not answering. –'' It was your mothers fault. She created you with a human. You are weak. And the weak have no place in hell. You can only blame your mother and yourself.''
''Yeah, I'm angry. I'm angry at myself. That I was too weak to protect her. But I made my weakness my greatest ally. The basics of devil magic is will. So I created skills that help me. ''
He sharpened his gaze and got into a battle position. I cast a magic circle with my right hand. It was a fire magic circle. I blew it towards him and spun 180 degrees. I was stalling for time just for this. My skill that was born from weakness. Shadow Dash.
I dashed trough the forest, jumping over any obstacles, and focusing on my arm, which still wasn't moving. The devils were searching for me. I could feel their killing intent. A group of them found me and fired energy bolts at me. I dodged as many as I could but a lot them went so close to me that they left a lot of cuts all over my body.
How long has it's been since I began running? A day? Two? Some of the devils withdrew to stop the fire in the forest I left behind.I want to give up. Yet i'm still running. The anger is my power.
Suddenly the scenery changed. The trees disappeared. I was in front of a giant gorge. The devils were on my non existent tail so I decided on jumping.
''Quick, catch him before he gets too far, it's the fallen angel territory!'' – One of the devils screamed.
I focused my power on my feet, and kicked off. I appeared and disappeared few times in air to dodge the incoming attacks, I landed on the other side, and I rolled trough the dirt, my back really hurt, the burned part. I got back on my feet and ran further. I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
I was in a glade. The trees were destroyed by attacks. It looked like a training field for someone. And the one was standing in front of me in a daze. A man with dark silver hair and blue eyes were looking at me. His eyes were wide open, and no wonder why, with the way I look.
Beside him stood a little girl with a very bizarre expression. It seemed like she didn't have emotions. She was wearing a very revealing black and purple dress. Her hair was jet black.
..She didn't seem surprised. They were very powerful, I felt it in my skin.
''Please, help me!''- this was the only chance I had.
The man closed his eyes and looked at me sympathetically, but before he flew in the sky, the emotionless little girl stopped him.
''I, am Ophis.'' – the little girl said in a monotone voice.- '' What, will you give me for saving thou?''
Panic took over. – ''I have nothing to give, please. They destroyed everything I have. THOSE DAMN DEVILS!'' I started screaming.
''But, are you not a devil?''
The devils landed around us. They started showing off their aura.
''..I repeat, what shall you give me, child?''
The Dragon God Ophis, the only one stronger than her is the True Apocalypse Dragon. She is asking me for something. Yet I have nothing. I have only one, last thing to offer her.
''...My life.''
The man with silver haired man looked even more bewildered than before.
''.. I, accept.''
I heard screams from behind while the devils attacked. I started to put up my guard, but Ophis, the Dragon God, stopped my hands with hers. They were cold.
''..You, are mine now. You will become strong. What is your name?''
''Ayato.''
''..Surname?''
''I am a child of a human and a extra devil. I have no such thing.''
''..You have now'' – The little girl raised her voice – '' I bestow you the name of the true Dragon, the Ouroboros.''
The little girl effortlessly hit away all of the magic attacks. Everyone stood there in silence, bewildered.
The little girl, Ophis, raised her hand like a pistol, and aimed at the devil that almost killed me earlier.
''..You all will pay the same price as him. Only differently. '' She talked as murderous intent sparked all around her.
'..Perish!'' – she said in a cold voice, while acting as she was shooting a pistol. The devils disappeared.
They all vanished from the aura of the True Dragon alone. Every single one of them. She started walking towards me.
She walked right in front of me.
She ripped of my already weared and teared shirt.
She put her cold hand on my chest.
She tip-toed closer to me and bit into the area where my right collarbone is.
I felt explainable pleasure, but with that pleasure I felt strong power and anger.
I was standing in a daze, barely standing that is. There, where she bit, a tattoo appeared. It was a black, circle, a dragon that was almost biting his own tail.
Ophis stepped away from me.
''..Listen, learn, become strong, control the power. We will see each other soon.''
She turned to the silver haired man and said – ''Take care of the child. Teach and train him, White one.'' – With that, she disappeared.
I fell down.
The silver haired man took my hand and got me to stand up.
''Nice to meet you Ayato Ouroboros. I am Vali Lucifer. A half-blood, like you.''
With that, i passed out.
That ends the prologue.
Next chapter will be the past and after that training, then Kuoh Academy.
I hope you enjoyed it, this is my first fanfic.
With the next chapter, I'll look into the whole text block thing. Any suggestions?
