Me and Alice after speaking with the villagers have left Ilias village and are currently on our way to Iliasburg. I pretty much know that Granberia should be there later, which is one of the reasons I decided not to fly. Another being that Alice doesn't know that I can fly, so I want to keep my powers hidden from her, for now at least.
"I meant to ask though Alice, why exactly are you interested in seeing the world?" I asked the monster lord.
"Isn't it obvious? to taste all the food that's out there." She said with a smile.
"..."
"Is that the main reason?" I asked her with a deadpanned expression.
"Well it was, now the main reason is to see exactly what you can do." she said as the smile faded from her face.
I put on a smile as I knock a spider off Dustice. Alice looks at the gun and puts on a serious face.
"I sense a very high amount of power from those weapons you have, and the shield. What are they?" she asked.
I look at her the at my sheathed Shadows Innocence.
"These weapons are not like the average weapons that knights use. The more I fight, the stronger they become however, my primary weapon Platinum Dramic, has a special ability." I said as I took the great sword off my back and showed it to Alice.
"Along with being able to change its form, Platinum Dramic is capable of analyzing any weapons data and copy it so I can use its powers. For example, if it was to come in contact with Angel Halo, it wouldcopy all its abilities and let me use utilize them in combat." I said
Alice looked at the platinum weapon in awe. She didn't know what to think of this. A weapon that could copy the abilities of any other weapon it went against. It was unheard of.
"Oh and I also have a similar ability, but for me all I have to do is see part of an attack and I can copy the rest perfectly." I said.
Alice looked at me with a glare.
"Oh really? and how can you do that mister copy cat?" she asked offhandedly
My pupils suddenly had a star like cross pattern in them that gave off a slight shine surprising Alice.
"Something I picked up during my travels. It's called devils eye, aka Alpha Stigma." I said as my eyes turned back to normal.
As I waked forward Alice followed slightly behind.
'This boy, what in the world is he? copy abilities, weapons that get stronger, there's no way he could possible be human, could he?' she thought to herself.
Suddenly from the side of the road, a slug girl showed herself. I felt my eye twitch and looked back to where Alice was only to see she had disappeared.
"Oh a human, and unbaptized as well." said the slug girl.
"'sigh' I guess your not gonna just let me pass are you!" I say in more of a statement then a question.
"hehehe nope, I'm gonna suck you dry." she said.
I just let out a sigh and not even bothering reaching for my weapons, walk over to a nearby tree causing the slug girl to look at me funny. I draw my fist back slightly and swing at the tree. The impact leaves a massive hole in it but that's not the surprising thing. That was the fact that the whole tree was uprooted from the force and sent flying across the road into a lake that was nearly 120 feet away from us.
o.o
"You still wanna..." I turned around to see the slug girl disappear into the forest.
"Wow, who knew slugs could run soo fast?" I said to myself as Alice became visible, her eyes wide in shock.
"What the hell was that? you just uprooted a tree and sent it into the lake with a single punch." she said wide eyed.
"And you just answered your own question there." I said with a slight smile.
Alice regained her composure and looked at me.
"You are a jerk." she said.
"Hey its better the killing them right?" I asked with a shrug.
She looked at me and sighed. Then she put her hands in front of her chest and began to materialize something. Moments later, the ugliest sword I had ever seen in my life was in her hands.
"I believe this is what you were wanting to find." he said as she held Angel Halo in front of me.
I took the repulsive blade in one hand and after examining it I took out Platinum Dramic and crossed the swords together. Dramic started to glow for a couple of seconds before...
"New power detected." a voice came from Dramic, surprising Alice
"What the..." she said as she slithered back slightly.
"Powers analyzed...All powers...have been copied." it said
With that I gave Angel Halo back to Alice.
"So that's the swords copy ability?" She asked as se grasped Angel Halo.
"Yep." I said as I put Platinum Dramic back onto my back.
We continued walking as the sun began to set. I started looking around for a place to set up camp. I found a clearing along the path so I decided to set up camp there. I had only one tent so I let Alice use that and I would sleep in a nearby tree.
"Hey Alice, do you know any sword skills that might come in handy around here?" I asked.
She turned to look at me with slight surprise.
"Why would you ask me that?" she asked.
"I may be strong but I don't know that many skills with my swords aside from the ones I picked up during my travels." I said
That wasn't exactly a lie but the skills I had picked up could rival even the most skill demon sword arts. I just didn't want Alice to see them just yet.
"Well...I do have one technique that I can show you right now." she replied.
Alice gets into a stance as she takes out Angel Halo but as she does she sees that I have gone into the same stance and the Alpha Stigma was active in my eyes.
"What are you..."
Before she could finish I jumped at a nearby tree and sliced it like I was slashing someone's neck. Alice looked on with wide eyes as she saw me do the move she was about to do.
(acquired Demon Decapitation)
I turned to look at Alice as she spoke.
"What the...how the...when did?" Alice said as she tried to compose herself.
"Alpha Stigma remember, I only need to see part of the attack in order to learn it." I said while pointing at my eyes as the AS deactivated.
"...You are a demon." she said.
"Nope, I'm just Daymond." I said as I sat down next to the fire.
'...are my knights going to be okay dealing with someone like him?' she asked herself before going into the tent.
-next day-
After some more walking we found ourselves at the gates of Iliasburg but it seemed deserted. I look around, not too surprised at the turn of events and Alice is slightly confused as to what's going on.
"It seems awfully quiet around here." she said
"Yea and I think I know why." I said as I walked through the gates, Alice slightly behind.
I soon heard the sounds of a battle taking place. I made my way towards the village plaza where the sounds were the loudest. As I rounded the corner the sounds halted and there she was, two out cold soldiers at her feet. She was a dragon-kin with arms, hands, feet, legs and ears of a dragon and some human-like traits on her upper torso and face. She was a little bit taller then me from what I could tell and had a sword resting on her shoulder that was almost as long as she was tall.
'Granberia' I thought as a smile crossed my face.
"Well?" the dragon-kin said to the only guard that was still standing.
The guard dropped hi sword and ran away.
'pathetic.' I thought as I witnessed the cowardly display.
"A wise choice but know this, you can neither call yourself a hero, man or a warrior with the choice you have just made here." she called out to the solider as she put her sword away.
"No if there is no one else then I am taking control of..."
"Hold It" I said cutting her off as I step into the plaza directly in front of her, a feral grin on my face.
She looked my way and seemed bored at first, until she noticed the sword on my back.
"Who are you kid?" she asked.
"First off, I'm a lot older then I actually look and the names Daymond, Daymond Sanctum." I say as I draw Shadows Innocence from its sheath.
"and who might you be warrior goddess?" I ask.
"Heh, a smooth talker eh? I am Granberia, one of thee heavenly knights who serve the monster lord." she answered.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you but I'm afraid that your little takeover here has come to an abrupt halt." I say as I take a fighting stance with Shadows Innocence ready for battle.
"You aren't using the other sword?" she asked curiously.
"Nope, don't need it." I answered.
"Your a cocky one." she said in annoyance.
"It isn't cockiness if I do throttle you." I id as my grin grew wider.
"Fine then, lets see what you can do." she said as she drew her sword.
-Battle commence-
"You first." I say the dragon-kin
She came me at me with a rather slow downward swing which I merely casually sidestepped before tapping her shoulder slightly. She looked at me with a look of interest.
"Better then I thought." she said
Okay that ticked my nerves a little bit. If there is one thing I know I cant stand its when people try to test me.
"Hey." I said with a deadpanned look on my face.
As Granberia looked at me I swung Shadows Innocence directly at her sword. The force of the blow knocked Granberia slightly off the ground and about ten feet away from me. She looked at me with a little bit of shock on her face as she shook her now numb right hand. I point the tip of Shadows Innocence at her before I spoke.
"You better not take me lightly, unless you want to get hurt." I said with some annoyance in my tone.
"Alright then try this." she said as she dashed at me
She attempted a cleave like maneuver and tried to slash me from the side, but as she swung her blade I jumped over it and gave her a swift kick under her chin then grabbed her wrist and using the momentum I gained as I was landing, I threw her down to the ground and quickly pulled her up and launched her backwards with a strong palm to her armored chest.
"Fine, lets see you avoid this." She said as she sheathed her sword and closed her eyes but still had her hand on the blade.
I knew what was coming so I activated Alpha Stigma. Seconds later She let loose a strong slash that left a blue streak in its wake only for it to be...blocked. That's right, I successfully blocked her Serene Demon Sword with Shadows Innocence.
(Serene Demon Sword acquired)
"What?" she said in shock.
"Hmm, good technique, let me try." I said as I jumped away from Granberia and did the same stance she did for her SDS but I decide to add a two for one.
"Are you mock.."
Before she could finish I jumped into the air and aimed a well timed slash at her neck which she managed to block but the force I applied was strong enough to send her back aways.
"That move! where did yo...GAH"
Before she could finish again I had activated Serene Demon Sword and the blow sent her flying right into a nearby building.
"That's gonna hurt." I said as Granberia pulled herself out the rubble, covered in bruises.
"Alright, if that's how it is..." Granberia opened her eyes with a lot of anger and determination in them.
"THEN PLAYTIMES OVER KIDDO" she shouted as flames licked her sword and began healing her injuries.
"Now things are getting good." I said as I go back into a battle stance.
Granberia charged at me with blinding speed but all I did was smirk as I matched her speed. The sounds of metal on metal were heard as the battle raged all around the city. I decided to pull something out my hat channeled energy into Shadows Innocence. Granberia charged again but before she could even get close I shot a ray of power off my sword. With no way to dodge, Granberia put her sword in front of her to block it but she and her blade were pushed back and the wave took her airborne before exploding. I activated Alpha Stigma because I knew what was coming next.
"Try this!" shouted Granberia as she dashed out the smoke ready to launch 'Death Sword Chaos Star'.
"How about you first." I said as she drew closer.
(Death Sword Chaos Star acquired)
We both unleashed the attack at the same time sending out massive shockwaves that caused more damage to the city.
Granberia landed back on the ground on one knee trying to catch her breathe. While I landed a little bit away from her, Shadows Innocence still firmly in hand but I haven't even worked up a sweat yet.
'How is this possible? he's using all my techniques whenever I try to use them. What is he?' she asked herself.
"You know Granberia I gotta say, out of all the women I've met in my life, I think I really like you the most." I say with a very slight blush.
Granberia's head shot up and she had a blush on her face as well but she quickly shook it off.
"You bastard, don't screw with me." she said with annoyance in her voice.
"I'm not screwing, whenever I say something like that I am always one hundred percent serious." I said just like that her blush came back brighter then the last.
"Which is why I am asking you to leave this town, I don't wanna have to get real here." I said with concern in my voice.
"No, I will not. I cant allow a human like you to exists." she said as she manages to stand up.
"Granberia, that determination is one of the things I like in you but you can barely stand and I don't want to hurt you anymore, but if you continue this then the next assault will do more then just injury you, so Granberia I am begging you, please sto..."
"No." She cuts me off as she steadies her sword.
I close my eyes and sigh.
"I see, please forgive me for this but..." I open my eyes and Granberia flinches at the power she senses.
"This battle is done." I said before disappearing
Before Granberia could say anything she was thrown high into the air and began getting thrown all over the place like she was in a pinball machine. she let off continuous grunts of pain as she was getting pummeled by the unseen force. She held tightly to her sword, determined not to drop it. For the final blow I appeared above her, Shadows Innocence in its sheath. She saw me and tried to impale me. Before the blade could reach my chest I palmed it to the left and with one strong strike from my left palm Granberia shot back down to the ground like a meteor leaving a huge crater in the ground where the plaza fountain was. Sehe was still conscious but was unable to move.
"'cough...hack'...'cough'" Granberia coughed.
"Granberia."
Granberia opened her eyes to see me standing over her. As tried to get up I walked into the crater and picked her up onto my back.
"What...what are...you doing? she asked in shock.
"Didn't you here what I said before?" I questioned.
Before she could answer, a familiar voice called her name I turned towards the crowd and saw Alice and she did not look happy one bit. She apparently noticed Granberia and walked over to Daymond. Before he had a chance to speak, Alice slapped him, hard.
"Is this your idea of peace between monsters?" she questioned, fire in her eyes.
I put Granberia and down against a small building and took out a bottle of clear blue liquid.
"No, this is." I said before taking the contents of the bottle into my mouth.
"What are you...mffffg" I silenced Granberia by clashing my lips onto hers and sticking my tongue in her mouth to let the liquid flow into her, once I confirmed she had swallowed it I removed myself from the so called kiss, moments later she began to moan as a warm feeling overtook her and her wounds began to heal.
"Wah... What did you do? what did you give me?" asked the recovered heavenly knight.
"Don't worry, its just some medicine I got from a friend of mine that's capable of healing all injuries." I told Granberia.
"You just keep proving to me more and more that you cannot possible be human." said Alice as she face palmed herself.
"Hold it, if that was medicine then why did you give it to me through mouth to mouth while I was still conscious?" asked the Heavenly knight of fire.
"...Because I knew you didn't trust me and...I wanted to claim my reward." I said with a smile and a blush.
"WHA..." Granberia said as her whole face went beet red.
At that moment Alice grabbed me by the collar of my cloak, which is now almost in tatters thanks to the battle that just took place.
"Don't flirt around with my knights." She said with a growl.
I smile at her and she blushes realizing she just basically told me she's the monster lord. Granberia has her body looking at us but her eyes are looking to the side and her face still has a small blush on it.
"So your the monster lord Alice." I said.
Alice puts me down and gives a soft nod to me. She clears her throat and gives Granberia a stern look.
"Granberia, what are you doing here? who gave you an order to attack this village?" asked Alice in a serious tone. I stand off to the side and watch as the conversation takes place.
"No one, I came here of my own volition." she replied with her eyes closed.
"You idiot, don't go doing these kinds of things on your own, how am I supposed to enjoy the food here with you messing everything up" she replied with a stern attitude only to have me and Granberia give her odd looks.
"Lord Alice, what is he? that boy." asked Granberia as he opened her eyes to look at me.
"To be honest I'm not really sure but I can be fairly sure he's not against us. I'm just observing him, I doubt I could to and yes I choose to follow him of my own free will." she said.
"Granberia!" I called to the dragon-kin
She looked at me with caution as I approached her. Once I was close enough I went and reached for her hand. She made a slight attempt to pull back but I loosened my grip so she knows I meant no harm now that the battle was over. I took her hand and place it on the left side of my chest. Granberia was confused for a moment but she then noticed my heart rate had speed up slightly causing her to blush slightly.
"You still think I'm not human and that I was fooling around?" I asked the dragon-kin.
She was silent for quite a while.
"Will Lord Alice be okay with you?" she asked seriously.
"You have my word Granberia, I wont let anything happen to Alice." I said with a smile as I released her hand.
Granberia Closed her eyes as she backed away from us. once she was a good distance she opened her eyes and gave me a smile.
"You better not, and I wish to fight you again after I train. I wish to see your true strength, if you desire to be my mate." she said with a smile before disappearing leaving me with a blush.
'Granberia's mate huh?' I thought.
"don't even think about it." said Alice.
I sighed and smiled at Alice who merely closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well I'm glade we settled that peacefully." I said
"Peacefully my ass, you two damn near razed the whole city." said Alice
I merely chuckled at that statement knowing full well that it was true. I guess I let the battle drag out too long and caused some serious damage to the village. After Granberia had left, the villagers all congratulated me on driving the dragon-kin away.
"One down, three to go." I said to myself as the crowd cleared.
Chapter 2 complete. Well lesson learned here don't try to match Daymond in a test of physical strength. The other monsters have sexual control over Daymond but Granberia has no experience with that so she wouldn't have fared well either way and it seems our OverSeer has developed feelings for Granberia but does she return those feelings? that comes later. Also
WARNING WARNING, H-SCENE IMMINENT NEXT CHAPTER, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Until next time, Daymond the OverSeer of Platinum Sanctum, signing out.
