Sup my fans. Welcome to another oneshot fanfic crossover. Like the Undead and the High Judge threeshot, this will be a crossover between BloodDevil and The Fifth Hero of the Underworld. Now, I think this may be a little more interesting since Akai will not be an assassin but more in a "wrong place at the wrong time" situation. Meaning he will be at the city of Kos during the invasion of it. That will be fun and a whole lot of action. So expect shit hit the fan very quickly.
Enough gawking, let's get started. Also, I highly advice listening the OST when que. Makes the immersion much more realistic…in anime/fanfic terms. By the way, this is a few days after the Devil's Party in BloodDevil.
Disclaimer: I don't know anything expect my OC

City of Kos, Day one of the invasion (Akai's POV)
(Kingdom Hearts II OST- Sacred Moon)
Where in the hell am I?
That is the first question that comes to mind to the place I am at now. I tried to use the portal to get to Kuoh to find some more ice cream for Ophis. She kept on nagging and begging me to get some more of them. Geez, I think the girl has an obsession with them now.
Only to be teleported to another place in Kos knows where. I looked up in the sky to see the violet sky. Though it looks like it is turning dark soon. It seems I have been teleported to the Underworld, but at the same time it is not. Like I am in an alternate universe of the place. Well, not the first time I been sent to another world.
As I walked around the city, I see tons of fortifications, guards, troops, and weapons in the area. It seems like I'm in a fortified city. But for what? I soon spotted a bar up ahead and decided to find my answers there.
DING DING
The bell of the door and as I went inside. The bar was busy with drinking or drunk men laughing and sleeping around. One thing they all have in common; is that they all have weapons and armor at the ready. I also noticed there is little to no civilians here. What is going on?
I went to the barkeep and wrote him a question. What's up with all the commotion around here?
"Hm? Just a last drink on the house for us. Have to be ready for the damn bastard's army, the Inquisition." The barkeep informed me. Inquisition? Have to ask without asking like an idiot.
I'm sorry. I got recruited and had a sheltered life so I don't know anything here. Can you please inform me?
"Humph. A shelter boy huh? You don't look like a greenie, but I will give you what I know from these guys and the higher ups." The barkeep said. I gave him money that I materialized with my blood echoes and he started to talk.
To put it in basic terms, the city I am in called the City of Kos (weird of having a city named after the Great One I worship) is under siege by a man's army called the Inquisition. I asked him who is the supreme leader of the army and the barkeep told me the man is named Tiberius Caesar, High Judge of the Underworld. This proves I am in an alternate world since I never heard of this man back at my world.
Tiberius Caesar is a Devil of legend. Singlehandedly rescued four Pillar Devil heads during some battle at Agreas, legendary swordsman, and claimed the title of Super Devil along with the four current Maous. But then the barkeep told me the dark parts of the story. The tension between Tiberius and the Pillar Devils.
Tiberius had already placed the Rias Gremory of this world and a High-class Devil named Diodora Astaroth in custody. He also made the Pillar Devil angry for existing and being the pillar of might for the common Devils. Honestly, I don't care about politics. Is this man a threat or not?
So, what is the situation here? Why is this city under siege?
"Tsk. The "great" Tiberius wanted to purge us rebels for our cause. We are just a mercenary army enlisted by Old Maous faction to put Tiberius in his place. Ohh, what I would do to smack that smug face off of him. Even I don't have that much arrogance like he does. Makes me sick!" The barkeep retorted.
What are you going to do now? The army I mean.
"The higher ups told us to barricade and make a defensive perimeter around the 72 Pillars that symbolizes our city. I even heard talk that once they liberated this city from us, they are supposed to give it to the rotten spoiled house of Amon. Like hell I would work for them."
Knowing that this is much information I can get from him, I thanked him and gave him more money before leaving the bar. "Hey! Make sure you sleep with your weapon close. You never know when the scum will attack." The barkeep warned me. I nodded and headed back outside. Looking to my right, I saw the giant pillars that represents the Pillar Devils. So, what is his endgame to capturing this city?
Before I answer that question, I need find somewhere to rest my eyes. I searched around the fortified city for an hour until I found an inn near the Pillars. I also took note that everyone here is a mercenary or a soldier. No civilians. Does that mean they evacuated the civilians? No…someone else did. Otherwise, these guys could use them as hostages to force the Inquisition to pull out. Barbaric, but effective.
Night has fallen and I camped inside a small room for free. They have no time to ask for me payment since to them; this is our last day of our lives. Well, theirs might be, but I am not dying here. It will piss off Ophis when she discovers me bleeding and battered back at the Hunter's Dream.
I took one last look at the city of Kos. Looks like I'm in the wrong place, at the wrong time and now I am wild card here. On no one's side and will have to look out for my own until I feel this is getting too dangerous.
But hey, I explored and conquered the cursed city of Yharnam. I'm sure that I will be alright…I hope.
Afternoon, Day two of the Invasion (General POV)
On the high noon of the day, the Inquisition army of 20,000 has completely surrounded the historic city of Kos. Four platoons of soldiers were led by one or more of Tiberius's inner circle members. Leading the South platoon is Tiberius's own queen, General Esdeath. On the West is led by Tiberius's knight, Bronn. On the East is the Dragonslayer Orinstein. And on the North is the group of Esdeath's personal force, the Jaegars.
Inside the city is the rebel forces trembling in despair and loss. There was no way out and no hope of reinforcements since the army has completely surrounded the city.
"This is not good. Not good at all. With this many forces out there, we have no choice but to hold ground and wait." Said a lieutenant while gazing at the map of the city.
"We wait for what? Reinforcements? For all we know, the higher-ups have already abandon us and we wait for our deaths!" Shouted one of the panicking officials. One of the other officials slapped him. "Calm down! If we panic here, it will make the others panic and we will lose this fight."
"He's right. Despite the overwhelming army upon us, we have the means to settle up the defenses long enough for reinforcements to come. I have a plan, but I need it to be delivered to the other officers for it be successful." Said the lieutenant. Just as they were about to grab the plans and set out the operation, they felt a dreadful and deathly feeling in the room.
"What? Why do I…I feel empty?" Asked the lieutenant. The other officers felt the same way and drew their weapons in case a squad of Inquisition soldiers has found their location. Fortunately, it was not a squad of Inquisition soldiers. Unfortunately, it was something or someone far worse.
*sinister giggles* "What we have here? A bunch of lost lambs trying to defy the wolves. I should punish you thoroughly. Hahahaahaha." A sinister feminine voice laughed around the room. The rebels looked around frantically to find the owner of the voice.
"Show yourself you whore!"
"You know; it is not very nice to call a beauty such as myself a whore. I only value one man and one man only." The shadows then moved towards the entrance of the room and revealed a young woman with long, dark hair and crimson eyes. She is wearing an all-white suit, a winter cap, and a white scarf. She is called Alucard, the first true vampire, and is having a sinister smile at the panicking men. "And that man is known as Tiberius Caesar."
"FIRE! KILL HER NOW!"
The officers in the room unload their spells at the vampire. Alucard smirked, sink into her shadows and started circling around the room. The men saw the fast moving shadows and hurled spells after spells at the shadow. Alucard then pull out her gun and shot two of the officers, right into their faces.
"GLAAAAA!"
"AAAAHHH!"
The two officers landed dead on the floor as Alucard laughed at their deaths. "Damn you!" Shouted one of the men as he foolishly charged at the shadow. It was a fatal mistake as a large demon dog appeared in front of him and devoured the top half of his body.
"Don't go near the shadows!" Ordered the lieutenant. The men made a circle and pointed at the moving shadow. "Fire!" Spells soon erupted from the group and the room was covered by the smoke from the spells. There was no movement from the shadows though.
"Did we…did we get her? AAAAAHH!" An officer asked before he was grabbed by the legs and pulled into a dark void. The officers started to panic and threw spells everywhere. Some of them hit and killed their comrades due to the fear and smoke in the room.
Alucard giggled as she picked them off one by one. She loves to torment and brutally kill her flies as she become the spider sent to hunt them down. One by one, the officers in the room either gets shot, eaten by Alucard's demon dog, or killed by one of their own comrade's spell. The pandemonium lasted for two minutes until only the lieutenant remained.
"Wait! Don't kill me! I can give you advice! Plans! Everything about the defenses here! Just don't kill me!" The lieutenant begged.
*groan* "Why is it always the last one be the crybaby. You signed up for this war and so you will die for this war. And since you lost your will to fight like the coward you are." The room turned black and thousands of red eyes surrounded the lieutenant. A large demonic face of a dog appeared before him. "No…No please!"
"You will serve as dog food." Said Alucard as she appeared beside her canine with an unamused expression. She then pointed at the lieutenant and the demon dog charged, mouth wide, to the screaming lieutenant.
"NNNNOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Blood and screams hurled around the room as the lieutenant was devoured by the demon dog. While the dog was having its feast, Alucard picked up the plans and burned them into ashes. "Another waste of flies here. It seems these rebels has all the bark, but none of the bite to back it all up."
"Nya, of course that is what they're all are." Said an alluring feminine voice. "Oh, didn't expect you to be here Kuroka. Did Tiberius sent you?" Out came from the darkness is a very sexy and beautiful woman with long black hair in spilt bangs, hazel gold eyes and a voluptuous figure. She wears a black kimono with a yellow obi around her waist, golden beads, and have the shoulder area exposed, revealing a large portion of her chest.
"Nya~ I was sent here to join the fun, but I clearly missed the party nya." Kuroka said as she looked around the carnage. She is still sacred of the vampire, but at least Alucard is on their side. "They have no challenge whatsoever. All bark and no bite. Ha, they even had a plan to hold out until reinforcements came." Alucard giggled.
"Like they can save this city nya." The two laughed for a while until Kuroka looked at Alucard seriously. "However, there is something here that will pose a grave threat to us." Alucard stopped laughing and looked at the Nekomata. "Really?"
"Yes. While I was going over the city, I sensed a large god-like power within the city. Something that rivals us in terms of power. Of course, we can fight it in equal grounds it's just…"
"This thing can be a major threat right? All the more reason we need to take this city under our control. Then we can find the source of this vast power you speak of." Kuroka nodded as she teleported out of the room. Alucard smirked. 'My, there may be a hornet among these colorless flies. If Tiberius-sama doesn't turn him into ash like he will do to this city.' The vampire then sinks into the darkness, leaving a bloody room and its corpses to rot.
Nightfall, City of Kos (Final Fantasy X- Hurry!)
"We're under attack! All units, battle stations!"
The Inquisition initiated an extremely large attack, covering all four side of the city. Spells, blood, smoke, and cries of pain and death reign over the night's sky. Back at the inn, Akai was still asleep throughout the chaos. The inn was in the inner parts of the city, so the sounds of combat was too far to disturb his rest. That is until a massive fireball was hurled over the city walls and went towards the inn.
"!"
Akai woke up and bolted out of the room. The fireball exploded upon contact, destroying Akai's rental room and about the front part of the inn. Akai moved out of the inn and saw loads of fireballs hurled into the city. The fireballs destroyed many of the fortifications made in the city and screams erupted from the blast radius.
Akai knew the city is now under siege and must find a way out before the situation escalated further. Looking up in the moon, he saw the moon was almost full, so he can't summon his moon presence powers, but ha can summon the winds and fire. Looking left and right, Akai moved forward towards the Northern exit, hoping it can be a way out.
Chaos and destruction is all what Akai saw now. Bodies of the rebel forces laid among the streets as Akai moved swiftly through the city. Before long, Akai encountered a squad of Inquisition soldiers.
"Take him down. For Lord Caesar!" The first soldier charge at Akai with the intent to kill. Akai dodged to the left and swiftly cleaved the soldier's head off before shooting at the next soldier to his neck.
"Bastard!" A female soldier charged with her lance at the ready. Akai parried the tip and slashed her knees before decapitating her as well. Two more soldiers ambushed him and tried to strike on his back. Akai summoned the winds with his scythe and pushed back the attackers. He then jumped and did a wind slash, slicing the two soldiers in half.
*groan* 'I did not sign up to be in a war. Hell, I did not sign up to be here in the first place.' Akai thought as he looked at the fallen soldiers he killed. 'Sorry. Went against the wrong hunter.' Akai then moved on.
The city was up in flames as war cries was heard all over the battlefield. Akai slew three more soldiers before reaching the Northern district. Akai looked at the wall to see a brigade of soldiers defending the wall. He inched closed to the wall to see what is the situation.
"Damn it! We're surrounded!" Stated a horned-helm soldier in anger.
"Captain, what do we do?"
"We stand our ground. They won't risk bringing down these spires." Akai looked back at the 72 Pillar, hardly doubting the enemy won't risk destroying the pillars of first Devils.
"Enemy incoming!" A shout was then heard. The captain, his mercenaries, and Akai (who followed discreetly) rushed to the frontlines to see the enemy.
"How many soldier?"
"One sir!" The soldier pointed at an armored figure walking towards them.
"Blast him to pieces!" "Sir!" The men started to chant and charge different spells to annihilate the armored figure.
"FIRE!" The men were about to fling their spells, but was pierced in the heart by several sharp feathers. Akai looked up to see a blonde man with angel wings out of his back. 'An angel?' Akai thought skeptically.
"What the hell!?" The captain then hears cries of pain as he looked at one of the ramparts they built. A girl with short dark hair in a twin-tail style and black eyes moved swiftly across the wall. She wears a black sailor uniform with a red belt acting like a red-side skirt and a katana in her right hand.
"I have you now!" Said a bulky man with a sick grin on his face. However, his swing was blocked by one of his dead comrades and was then jumped by several other undead soldiers.
'Necromancy? With her sword?' Akai thought as he conceals himself in the darkness.
"Go! Overwhelm her!" The captain's men hesitated at attacking the girl. "What are you idiots waiting for? We outnumber her. Surround and kill her!" With renew vigor, the men charged at the girl, but was engulfed by a sea of flames. The captain growled as he turned to the man wearing a white gas mask with three scars over his chest and a large flamethrower. The white-masked man looked up in the sky and shouted.
"Seryu! NOW!"
The captain heard a crash and screaming and turned to a massive muscular dog standing over a puddle of the captain's men's blood. On top of the dog is a cute, young woman with long auburn hair in a ponytail…and has a demented look on her face.
"Justice!" Shouted the woman as she carved a blood road with the "dog" in tow. "It can't be. Impossible…" The captain looked at the bloody mess that was his men. "Just who…who are these guys?"
On que, the armored figure landed behind the captain spoke in masculine, amused tone. "We're the Jaegars." It was the last thing the captain heard before a fist skewered his body before it pulled out.
'Shit. Time to go.' Akai thought as he quickly fled the carnage, unknowing that the black-haired girl, Kurome, saw him leave.
Western District
Deciding that the Northern district is a bust because of the six-man death squad, Akai decided to take his chances with the Western forces. As he moved swiftly through the ruined city, he spotted a family of Devils with rebel guards surrounded by Inquisition forces. Knowing that this is not his fight, Akai was about to leave but knew that he already killed some of the soldiers from Tiberius's army and the chances of leaving by himself is slim.
So, he decided to help out the Devil family to see if they know a way out. Akai jumped on the rooftops and swiftly cleaved off two heads of the soldiers before shooting one at the back of the head. The remaining three soldiers charged at Akai with vengeance for their fallen comrades.
"Die!" One of the soldiers shouted. Akai parried the attacked and pierced his stomach before making him block another swing with his body. Akai then let go of the body, cleaved the attacker's head off, then shot the last soldier on his chest.
The soldier was on his left knee and Akai pierced his armor and body with his hand before viciously ripping it out. Blood sprayed around the ground as Akai wiped the blood off his hand.
"You there! You can fight well! Help the escape the city. We will hold the enemy here!" Ordered one of the guards. Akai nodded as he followed the fleeing Devil family, who are Pillar Devils is what Akai figured out, flee the city.
As they ran, Akai looked at the Pillar Devil family. The family consist of an elder man, a young blonde woman, and a young girl wearing a blue dress (Looks familiar?). They ran with the elder man leading the way until they were stopped by the large dog Akai saw earlier.
(FFX OST- Hurry Stops abruptly)
On top of the dog is the same woman from the walls with the same demented look on her face. "Where do you think you are going? All of you need to face justice for the crimes to you have committed. Toro eat!" The dog Toro opened its mouth wide to devoured the elder man.
"Father!" Shouted the girl in terror.
The dog was then smacked in the face by a boot and launched over to a building. The woman, Seryu Akai recalls, looked at Toro in concern before glaring at Akai. "You bastard! You will die first! Koro kill!"
(FFXIII OST- Desperate Struggle)
Akai motioned the family to escape the city while he keeps the two at bay. The family hurried to the escape point while Akai pointed his scythe at Koro. Koro roared before swinging his arms around. Akai jumped over the dog and landed on top of the beast. He then plunged his scythe into its skull and plunged it four more times.
"RRRAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
Koro flailed around and knocked Akai off the beast. Seryu went behind Akai and swung her sword to slice his spine open. Akai noticed the attack and used the winds to repel the attack. He then spin-kicked Seryu in the ribs, and made her crash into a nearby stall.
Koro roared and charged at Akai again. Akai conjured fire into his Ethereal Blade and slashed downwards, making a flaming wind slash. Koro put his arms in front of him to block the attack. The slash cut his arms severely and the burns boiled its blood.
"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"Koro! Die! Die! DIE!"
Seryu shouted in anger at the mere thought of her precious Koro getting severely hurt. Akai dodged all of her attacks with narrow precision and landed a blow with end of his scythe's shaft. Seryu coughed and got on her knees to catch her breath.
Koro ambushed behind Aki with his arms ready to crush him. Akai quickstepped from the attack and delivered two slashes to Koro's right knee. He then did the same on the other knee, making Koro on his hands and knees. Akai then appeared in front of Koro and pierced its head with his hand before viciously ripping it out.
"RRRRROOOOOOAAAAAA!"
Koro soon collapsed on the wall before sliding down and reverted into a small chibi dog form.
"KORO!" Seryu yelled out at her beloved, injured pet. Akai stood behind Seryu and readied his scythe to cleave off her head. Seryu turned and saw the blade coming for her neck. 'I'm sorry everyone.'
CLING
Akai's blade was blocked by a katana from Kurome. "Back off." The katana girl said before kicking Akai in the face. Akai hold his face as he slid the ground with his feet. He then looked at Kurome, but had his heart stopped for a minute when he saw the armored man, the flamethrower wielder, and the blonde man with angel-like wings.
"Kurome. Is Seryu alright?" Said the armored man. Kurome nodded.
*exhale* "You have a lot of nerve trying to kill Seryu and Koro. For that, you will not leave here alive." The armored man said. "Wave. I sense a powerful energy coming within that man. It would be best if we all attack him together." Advised the angel.
"Right. Run, you cover the air. Bols, you have the ground. I will keep him on his toes." The armored man, Wave, ordered.
"I will have your back." Kurome said. "Let me fight too. I swear I will make him pay for what he did to Koro!" Seryu said as she glared at Akai. Said hunter readied himself but a fireball intervenes and destroyed a building on their sides. The rumble got in between the two forces and Akai used this as an opportunity to escape.
"Wait! Get back here!"
"Wave wait. We now have orders from Tiberius-sama to pull out of the city. Let him take care of the hunter." Run advised.
"Grr…fine. But if he survives, I will hunt him down myself."
Rendezvous with the Pillar Devil family (Akai's POV)
Oh my Kos, I thought I was going to die there! I managed to escape the Jaegars thanks to luck and met up with the Devil family I helped earlier. They were surprised I was still alive, but was glad I was and we found a convoy with the guards from the city.
(FFX OST- This is your story)
"Tiberius's forces are pulling out of the city. This is a perfect chance for us to get you guys out of here. You, hunter. Escorted them to the hidden Northern fort. They will be safe there for the time being." Ordered by the guard to continue doing what I was doing, I found a nearby horse and mounted it while the family boarded the carriage.
"GO!"
The gates opened and we ran out into the open fields. I was at the Western wing of the convoy while there are at least fifty other guards with us. As we fled the city, I felt intense heat suddenly. Where the hell did all this heat came from? I looked to see everyone looking back and was curious to see what's up…only to see a massive fireball over the city.
The fireball then dropped itself into the city and all I see was a pillar of fire consuming the city. Screams of pure agony reigned the skies. The heat was intense and I felt lucky that we escaped the city before this happened.
"The 72 Pillars…" Mumbled the old man. Really? You're worried about some rocks than the lives of your soldiers? I should have let you get eaten by that dog. We moved out of harm's way, the burning city, and the Inquisition and headed toward the fort.
Outskirts of Kos
"Lord Caesar! General Esdeath! I'm sorry, but I need to inform you about this important emergency."
Two figures separated from their little make out session with one annoyed while the other is slightly annoyed, but intrigued by the emergency. The one seething is a beautiful woman with long ice-colored hair and wears a general outfit. She has a tattoo on her exposed chest of her outfit.
The other is a young, handsome man wearing simple ceremonial robes adorned with jewelry and a Mithril chainmail. He has short midnight black hair and dead-fished eyes. He also wears a crown on his head.
High Judge Tiberius Caesar and his right hand queen, Esdeath.
"What is it?"
"I'm sorry to inform you, but Seryu-sama's teigu called Koro is critically injured. She herself is also bruised from a fight with an unknown enemy."
This information made both Esdeath and Tiberius angry and interested. Interested of someone able to be on toes with one of Esdeath's esteem officers, but angry at the thought someone nearly killed Koro.
"Who was it? What is his name?" Esdeath asked with venom in her tone.
"We don't know. From Wave-sama, he said it was some hunter with a large scythe and wears a hunter's garb. Nothing more about him."
'A scythe?' Tiberius thought. Only his teacher, Gherman and the Death race wields scythes naturally. So who?
"Lord Caesar! We have received word that a convoy is fleeing the city." Shouted another soldier. Tiberius did not expect someone to be able to escape the city before he turned it into ash.
"Tell me who are the escorts. What the convoy consist of."
"The convoy is one large, armored carriage harboring a Pillar Devil family, the bloodthirsty family of trio, and fifty guards. Sir…there is also a hunter with that group."
Tiberius narrowed his eyes at the new information. The Hunter who nearly killed Toro and beaten Seryu is with that convoy. And the Devils there are one of the few families who invited, torture, and kill innocent Common Devils.
"Should I round up an execution squad and hunt them Tiberius-sama?" Esdeath asked. Tiberius shook his head.
"No need. I will send Kalameet to deal with them and the Hunter. They will all burn for their transgression." Esdeath sadistically smirked as Tiberius summoned the Chaos Dragon.
"RRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!"
Forty miles away from the City of Kos (Akai's POV)
It has been over an hour since the destruction of the city. Knowing that I am in liege with these guys, this Inquisition army will no doubt kill me if I try to talk to them. I did nearly kill one of their top officers, I think. I looked back at the now anxious forces from the city. Guess the destruction of the pillars shook their resolves a lot.
Before we could calm ourselves, for them at least, a large roar was shouted in the sky. Two of the guards started panicking when they looked behind us.
"AHAH AHAH AHHA! KALAMEET! TIBERIUS'S DRAGON! WE'RE DOOMED!"
I looked back to see a massive dragon with one-red eye soaring over us. The dragon then got ahead of us and prepared a to spew fire out of its mouth. Uh oh.
(Kingdom Hearts II- Darkness of the Unknown (Dragon))
Dark fire landed on the ground and Kalameet flew towards us with the intent to burn us all alive. I leapt off my horse and got on top of the carriage and spin my scythe rapidly with the winds revolving around it. I then made a wind barrier and tried my hardest too block most of the flames, but some of the guards were engulfed by the flames and was never seen again.
The dragon roared and sound annoyed that it didn't killed its initial target. Kalameet soared above us and conjured a black fireball and fired at us. Conjuring my wind and fire, I jumped up and reflected the ball back to the dragon. The dragon took the attack head-on.
"RRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!"
Kalameet soared over the convoy, burned another group of guards before soaring over me. The dragon swung its claws at me and scrapped the top part of the carriage. I jumped and made the winds to hold my feet, while the roof of the carriage was cleaved clean off.
"Aaahhhhhhhhh!" Screamed the blonde woman. I looked to see the old man's head nowhere in sight and rolled off the carriage. "FATHER!"
Not feeling any regret of being unable to save him, for some reason. I don't know. But what I do know is that this dragon has gotten its eyes on me dived towards me. I jumped over the charging the dragon and landed on its back. Grabbing on one of the scales, I slashed its scale with much force…but did no damage.
The dragon rolled forward and knocked me off its back. Using the winds to stop my descent, I stood up and rolled under a claw strike from the dragon. Kalameet then send several fireballs at me, I reflected almost all of them and one of them hit Kalameet in the face. Why did I say almost?
One of the fireballs missed me and was aiming for the carriage. I looked at the destruction power of the fireball as it hit the carriage with the other two family members. The wife and daughter screamed in agony, but I felt no remorse from them. Not sure why? Are they evil or something?
Kalameet roared before grabbing me with its talons and hurled me across the sky. The dragon then roared and charged at me while spewing fire from its mouth. I made a wind barrier and tank the flames with a few third degree burns on my back arms. I applied some blood vials to restore my skin before jumping high in the air and slashed downwards.
Great waves of fire winds slashes crashed onto the Dragon and it roared in pain while flailing around. Kalameet conjured up a large fireball and spew it at me. I countered it and made wind slashes to make the fireball faster. Kalameet reacted too slow and took the fireball to its face.
Kalameet roared before looking at me with its one eye. The dragon then turned around and retreated back to where it came from. I don't know why is it retreating, but I think it has something to do about the deaths of the Pillar Devil family I was "supposed" to guard.
Flying back to the remaining troops, I landed on my horse and continued to ride it to the fort. Sure, I could fly to the fort, but I want to horse ride dammit!
(End OST)
"Hey! I can't believe to were able to repel that monster!" One of the guards shouted. I nodded as I went on further from the rest of the group, but not before hearing the rest of them said.
"Unfortunately, I spotted two cavaliers behind us while the dragon was attacking us. If they reported the High Judge about us and about that man's power…"
"Oh fuck! Fuck! We are so screwed!"
"Calm down! The bastard will find the fort anyway. We will just need to fortify the fort when we get there."
Great, I made another showcase for Tiberius. Now I may have fucked myself from this slip up. Oh well, I think I should stay here a little longer. This is a lot more fun than killing beasts any day.
Outskirts of Kos
"RROAOOAAARRR!" The dragon Kalameet roared as it heads back to its master. Tiberius waited the dragon, with the scouts he sent with it, along with Esdeath by his side. Tiberius is a man made out of steel. Being surprised is a bit of tall order, but Akai delivered it when Kalameet crashed into the ground. Shocked at the sudden collapse of his familiar, Tiberius and Esdeath rushed to the down dragon.
The scouts were near the dragon with several members of the Inquisition started to heal the down dragon. "What happened?" Tiberius commanded.
"Milord, the Pillar Devils have been killed by Kalameet like you requested, However, the Hunter was able to…stand toe to toe with it. He even managed to reflect some of your familiar's fireballs!"
Astonishment. That is what Tiberius is feeling right now as he looked at the healing dragon. He then dismissed it once it was healed and looked at Esdeath with amused, but angered eyes. "Tell my peerage to meet me here. We are going after this hunter."
"Yes, Tiberius-sama."
The Hunt for the Hunter now begins.
Scene
Yeah, this may, may not be a oneshot. Probably like a series until I feel like it should end when I feel like it. However, I hope you guys like the chapter. Also, if you are worried that Akai was a little OP, the full moon was out so he had the powers that ranks similar to Tiberius. Any other night he will have a struggle against Seryu, Toro, and Kalameet. This is just to make Akai gain unwanted interest from the Inquisition.
Anyway, please tell me what do you think of the chapter and tell me should di make more of these. Special thanks to AngraMainyu-Chan for giving me the green light and you're welcome to post your review as well.
Ja Ne!
