Chapter 2, a long chapter this time

.

Just so you guys know, I'm going to throw these chapters out as fast as possible, I wanna get back to working on Book 3, Rebirth of the God of Speed, Team Free will Gains 2 more, and a couple other things in the works

.

Disclaimer: I own nothing

.

Alice walks over and into the house as Luke is reading a book as the girl stands there confused before she coughs into her hand
.

"I am one of the knight guards that protect the independent trade cities of Houseman, my name is Cecily Cambell. I want to thank you for saving my life, I owe you one" she says extending her hand

"Yeah great, my names Luke Ainsworth" Luke says continuing reading his book

.

Cecily huffs before grabbing his hand and shaking it as he snatches it back as Alice laughs as she gets noticed

.

"Hey, you're the girl that was with Luke, I'm Cecily" she says extending her hand

"I'm Alice, nice to meet you Knight Girl" Alice says shaking her hand

"Please call me by my name" Cecily asks not wanting a nickname like that

"Nope, it fits and I find it amusing" Alice says grinning as Cecily sighs

"Was that a dungeon outside your house?" Cecily asks

"Yep, literally got it half an hour ago" Alice says as Luke looks interested

"You got a dungeon? How new is it?"

"Didn't fix its location yet before I claimed it"

"It will produce a great quantity of Tamehagane; tell me before you go in. I'd like to go with you"

"Sure"

"Hey, don't ignore me" Cecily says whining

"How's introductions going, you all friends yet" Lisa says bringing in tea

"Were getting there" Cecily says as Luke huffs and Alice laughs

"Is there a reason you're still here" he says sipping his tea

"I was hoping you might forge me a sword. Like the one from earlier, strong enough to slice through other swords" Cecily says

"Sorry, we don't take requests, we stopped making them a while ago, you can try Alice, she says she's a blacksmith, she forged a pretty good sword, it conjured lightning" Luke says throwing Alice under the bus

"You're the one who made the lightning sword, I placed a bid on it but lost by a large amount, it was so cool, I watched the demonstration they gave and wanted it so badly" Cecily says with stars in her eyes

.

Alice glares at Luke who turns away before nodding to Cecily

.

"That was several years ago, I haven't done much since then, I would need at least a month if you want one like that"

"Okay, let's shake on it"

"You sure, my blades are strong but waiting a whole month for one seems a bit extreme"

.

Cecily takes Alice's hand and shakes it vigorously

.

"You won't regret this Alice; I'll use your sword to protect the people"

"I should also mention that if you want one of my blades you have to be trained by me to use it"

"That's okay, I'd actually be really grateful"

.

Alice laughs softly before exploding into full blown laughter

.

"You say that now, wait and see Cecily, wait and see" Alice says leaving as Cecily seems to gulp and pale a bit

.

Alice's house, near the dungeon

.

"Hollow spells are too costly right now so I can replace that for the blacksmith class and work on it in the dungeon" Alice thinks messing with her settings

.

By not possessing [Hollow] Class or [Hollow Reiryoku] RP cannot be used

.

.

Alice checks her skills and makes sure [Sacrifice Enemy] is active, leaves a note for Yuno and the others and calls for Luke, who comes to her location and sword in hand and walks with her into the dungeon

.

Floor 1

.

Alice and Luke walk through the dungeon and emerge in a large flat plain-like area, the sky is red and there is only one road available for them to travel on. Luke bends down and examines the ground

.

"Tamehagane dust, the lower floors might actually have the pure stuff, it's really hard to come by" Luke says as they continue walking

.

The two walk forwards and hear howling as the several somethings come towards them. Black dogs with rotting flesh and blood red eyes

.

Demonic Hounds
Lv: 2
HP: 300/300
MP: 75/75

.

"Not bad for first floor enemies" Alice says as she faces the dogs as Alice grips her right hand with her left

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the magic beast that dances through the skies!"
.

She raises her hand to the sky twirling her index finger in a circle as her hand glows and three red magic circles descend to the ground. She throws the ball of magic from her hands into the circle and an equal number of wolves of light shoot from the circle at the demonic hounds. The dogs, being demons, are weak to light based attacks and are destroyed by the double damage the attack does

"Estabul Magic, very effective, especially that spell you just used" Luke says as they continue walking

.

As they walk and see a cave going into the next part of the cave, in front of it stands another Demonic Hound, bigger than the rest, and with three heads

.

Demonic Cerberus
Level 5
HP: 750/750
MP: 150/150

.

"Looks like it's time to get serious" Alice says looking over the creatures stats

.

Alice raises her hand to the creature as red and purple fireballs surround her and two red square circles form a star with her in the center

.

"Alice, what are you doing" Luke asks cautiously

"Relax. This is a special ability. [Sloth],[Thundaja], [Firaja]"

.

Two creatures appear in front of her. The first, a large cloak, emerging from it are snakes and within the cloak two red eyes. The second is a leech like being, in a floating chair

.

The two beings glow yellow and red respectively, the creature falls to the ground, alive but unmoving as a large blast of lightning and fire shoot towards the Cerberus who howls in pain as it disintegrates in purple flames

.

Alice looks over her stats approvingly before dismissing the screen and following Luke down into the next floor. Upon reaching the next floor they see boulders of shiny rock, Luke touches it and realizes what it is

.

"Alice, this is pure Tamehagane, we need to take some of this with us" he pleads

.

Alice reaches up and opens up her inventory, expanding it and covering three large boulders as Luke looks curious

.

"Don't ask, it would take too long to explain" Alice says as Luke shrugs and they leave the dungeon as Alice looks back

.

Alice's Dungeon
Lv: 15
7 floors

.

Alice and Luke walk back to his place and Lisa stands there curious as Alice pulls out three large boulders of Tamehagane to which she widens her eyes at the size

.

"Thank the dungeon, it provides great incentives to keep going into it" Alice says

"Enjoy the Tamehagane Luke, I need to get forging Cecily's sword and some armor myself" Alice says walking to the house

.

Inside the house

.

Alice walks into the house and finds Yuno, Keeno, and Morgan reading in the living room

.

"You have fun in the dungeon Allie?" Yuno asks closing her book

"Yep, maxed out the blacksmith, Yokai, and exorcist classes so I can make Cecily's sword now, along with armor and gained pretty good abilities from the maxed out classes"

"You can make good swords now, because I've needed a new one for a while now" Yuno says as she places her Katana on the table showing signs of wear and tear

"Okay, shape the same, color doesn't matter, what attribute and what element do you want it to have?" Alice asks equipping her blacksmith class and her two supports to lower the cost by 75%

"Vampiric and Poison" Yuno says

.

Alice holds out her hand and a purple magic circle appears in front of Alice with the symbol of the fell dragon on it as a screen appears. Alice takes a vial of Dragon's blood from her inventory and places it in the magic circle and she floods it with MP to increase the power of all attributes

.

Vampiric and Poison Sword

Element Imbuement: 40MP
Attribute Imbuement: 60MP
Damage Increase: 50MP
Durability Increase: 40MP
Decrease Weight: 20MP
Total Cost: 340MP
+ 150 cost

Total Cost: 510
-75% MP cost

.

Alice looks over as the stats for the sword rise and is greatly surprised at what the final product is.

.

Yuno's Sword – BloodMetal
- Slashing: Str + 95
- Piercing: Str + 74
- Poison – Deals 18 damage to enemy every 5 seconds. This ability stacks
- Vampiric – 35% of damage dealt heals the wielder
- Durability: 1225/1225
- Weight: 5lbs

.

Alice hands the new black katana sword to Yuno who looks at the stats surprised and in shock, before she rushes up and hugs Alice tightly
.

"Thank you, it's amazing" Yuno says taking a few practice swings

"And really light too" She says noticing the weight

"It's quite powerful" Alice says as green balls of energy circle around her and she notices her health and Mana are back to where they were before.

"What was that?" Keeno asks putting her book down

"The greatest ability of the Exorcist class, [Auto Undo], it automatically restores HP, MP, and RP to previous values, so if I go into battle with everything full, and don't get one shot; then I can't lose" Alice says as the others look at her in shock

"I think we need to get that ability" Morgan says messing with her classes as the others go and do the same

"You also need the level 2 ability of the Yokai class to get it" Alice says going over to help them change classes

.

A week later

.

"Okay Alice, I'm here, where's my sword" Cecily says excited

"I'm going to make it in front of you but first I need to know a few things" Alice says as Cecily nods

"Shape, you want a Katana, normal sword form, or rapier?"

"Katana"

"Second, what attribute, Holy, Demonic, DemonSlayer, DragonSlayer, Vampiric"

.

Alice tells her what each of the attributes does

.

"Vampiric seems like the best option" she says after a moment of thought

"Okay, next is which attribute to choose, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Shadow, Poison, and Lightning"

"Lightning"

.

A magic circle appears in front of Alice with the symbol of the fell dragon on it, Alice reaches into her inventory and takes out a vial of dragons blood and pours it on the circle as she floods it with magic. She pulls out a black katana sword with a silver hilt.

.

Blood from the Demonic Fell Dragon Grima has granted an additional ability

Cecily's sword – BloodMetal
- Slashing: Str + 95
- Piercing: Str + 74
- Lightning – 35% chance to paralyze enemy
- Vampiric – 35% of damage dealt heals the wielder
- DemonSlayer – Deals double damage to demons
- Durability: 1225/1225
- Weight: 5lbs
- [Lightning] – Active
- Fires a bolt of Lightning from the blade

.

Alice reveals what the sword does and how strong it is compared to a regular sword and Cecily takes the sword which crackles with electricity as she takes a few practice swings before it discharges a lightning bolt which shoots at Alice who blocks it with her sword before sheathing it and taking the sword from Cecily

.

"And this is why you will be trained by me how to use it" Alice says putting the sword into a sheathe

.

Cecily nods with her head low and apologizes

.

"Good, let's get started" Alice says tossing the sheathed weapon at Cecily who fumbles with it before keeping hold of it

.

"Unsheathe the weapon and point it at me" Alice says as she does so

"You must wield the sword with strong intent, only use it when you have the determination to use its full capabilities" Alice unsheathes her sword and points it at Cecily

"Swing the sword, 1000 times, do that, get a feel for your sword, your range with it, max reach, area of movement, everything. Figure it out in those thousand strikes" Alice says sheathing her sword as she walks off and Cecily starts swinging as the sound of crackling lightning is heard

.

Alice walks into the house as Yuno walks up to meet her

.

"So how did it turn out?" she asks

"Vampiric Lightning sword, with an added DemonSlayer effect from the fell dragon blood, All in all pretty good, for her at least" Alice says as Yuno nods

"The sword drill?" Yuno asks as she hears the strikes and crackling lightning

"Yep, it'll be good for her, since she seems to have not received actual training" Alice says going and lying down on the couch

"I'm going to take a nap, my stats may be full because of [Auto Undo] but sword making like that makes me tired" Alice says as she opens her arms and Yuno lies down with her as Alice wraps her arms around her as they fall asleep

.

Several hours later

.

"A-Alice"

.

Alice rubs her eyes, one arm still around a sleeping Yuno as Cecily stands there, red face and stammering

.

"What, I was in the middle of a great nap" Alice says sleepily while nudging Yuno awake

"I-I finished the thousand strikes like you told me"

.

Alice waves her off and stands up, stretching her hands over her head, she picks up her sword and gestures Cecily to follow her as she walks outside

.

"Now then, I admit that I didn't tell you what to do after the strikes, so I'll be a little lenient. But do you know how hard it is for me to get any time to spend with either Keeno or Yuno" Alice says as her Alpha Stigma appears

"We always have to be doing something, so rarely can we genuinely relax that it becomes our bonding time, where we do nothing and talk or sleep. So I'll be generous and give you ten seconds" Alice says

"Ten seconds to what"

"Nine…Eight…Seven"

.

Cecily realizes and takes off into the forest with her sword drawn

.

"Two…One…Zero"

.

Alice shoots into the forest sword draws as she uses her Alpha Stigma to search for Cecily's magic sword. A hundred feet away she sees a glow and shoots towards it and ends up in a field

.

"It would have been smarter to stay in the forest" Alice says looking at Cecily

"It wouldn't be a fair fight that way" she says

"True, but a fight is not fair" Alice says stabbing her sword into the ground

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the spirit which envelops the air!"

.

Three red magic circles move from her head to her feet as she holds her hands in the direction of Cecily and a bullet of air shoots forward at Cecily who slashes her sword down and launches a bolt of lightning which meets the air bullet before dissipating as Cecily moves to dodge the bullet.

.

"Is that all you have Alice, for a punishment I expected more" Cecily says as Alice narrows her eyes and Cecily pales as Alice's aura spikes

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the magic beast that dances through the skies!"

.

Alice grabs her right hand with her left and raising her hand, twirls her finger in a circle as three red magic circles move from her head to the ground. A ball of energy appears in her hand and as she throws it down at the magic circle, three wolves of light emerge from the glyph and shoot towards Cecily

.

"I offer up this contract, to bear the wicked beast that sleeps within the earth!"

.

Alice repeats the process and as her legs glow beneath the three magic circles she grabs her sword and shoots forward along with the wolves

.

Alice clashes her blade with Cecily before moving as Cecily blasts one of the wolves with lightning before blocking Alice's sword again as she moves to dodge the other two wolves that graze her sides as they pass and dissipate. Alice shoots back dodging another blast of lightning before shooting forward, sweeping Cecily's leg and pointing her sword at her neck as Cecily lies on the ground

.

"I win" Alice says with a grin

.

Alice sheathes her sword and helps Cecily up

.

"That wasn't a sword fight, you're not allowed to do that" Cecily says as Alice sighs

"Your one of those huh, we'll break you of that real quick. Listen Knight Girl, in battle there is no, 'you can't do this' or 'I won't do this to be fair', you win or die. I'm not asking you to kill, not everyone has the stomach for it, what I'm training you to do is to seek to incapacitate. So do anything to win, it's time to fight smart and not hard, to avoid idiotic mistakes, and to take the smartest path to victory. Cheating, underhanded tactics and cowardly behavior, I think you mean common Sense." Alice says as Cecily considers her words

.

While Cecily thinks Alice uses her speed to sneak up behind her and sweep her, once again pointing the sword at her neck

.

"Get up, learn, fight me like a warrior, not a soldier" Alice says as Cecily glares and spins around in an attempt to sweep Alice who lunges back

"Better" Alice says as she swings her sword into the ground causing a large puff of smoke, obscuring vision

.

As Cecily looks around in the smoke trying to see, she hears steps and swings at them, only to hear them on the opposite side, then from all directions

.

"[Shining]"

.

A bright light engulfs the area blinding Cecily even further, and in the blink of an eye she is back on the ground, sword once more on her neck as the dust settles and the light dissipates.

.

"Seems I was right about you; that was a good fight, once you started fighting smart" Alice says helping her up

"I think I'll keep you around for a while knight girl, so every day we will do this, and if I like your growth I will reward it. Think of it as an apprenticeship" Alice says as Cecily smiles

"This should be fun then…Master" Cecily says bowing to her

"Yeah sure why not" Alice says shrugging

.

Alice and Cecily walk back as Alice looks at the screens in front of her

.

Alice looks over the stats happy at their progress before closing them and walking back with Cecily

.

Several days later

.

Cecily and Alice clash swords back and forth, Cecily sweeps Alice who flips back and lands in a crouched position, lunging forward she brings the sword up and goes for the neck only for Cecily to kick her in the stomach

.

Alice retreats and her left hand crackles with black lightning. She thrusts her hand in Cecily's direction as a black lightning bolt shoots at her as Cecily shoots a yellow bolt at it. The black lightning shoots through the yellow and strikes Cecily in the side. Alice lunges forward as Cecily is stunned and, unfurling her wings, flaps them, creating a large gust of wings, pushes Cecily back and to the ground. Alice stands over her pointing her sword at her neck.

.

Alice sheathes her sword and helps her up

.

"Your definitely getting better, can't beat me yet, but I think you'll do just fine in a fight" Alice says

"Thank you Master" Cecily says bowing to her

"What was that black lightning, and those wings?"

"Hmm, I didn't tell you" Alice says as Cecily shakes her head

"How old do you think I am knight girl?"

"18, maybe 20?"

"Try 220 dear, I've been alive for a long time" Alice says flapping her wings before they retract

"A-a dragon?"

"Yep, one of the rare one's too, because of this" Alice says showing the Alpha Stigma

"I am a Fell Dragon, a breed of warlike dragons with abilities geared towards that, course lately I prefer to sleep then to fight" Alice says

"Since were done for the day, let me ask you something, does Houseman have any of its own magic?" Alice asks

"Yeah, once you reach a certain rank in the knight guard you get to learn it. It was created by a man named Nelpha" Cecily says

"And what type of magic is it?"

"Fire, Ice, and Earth magic"

"You notice; no country has more than a few spells that they repeat over and over again?"

"Yeah, that's why Alpha Stigma's are the most dangerous, because they can learn all of it and have the best chance to defeat anyone they come across if given enough time"

"And the occasional loss of control and destruction of the nearby area" Alice says as Cecily nods and scratches the back of her head

"Yeah, that's why most don't live long, how'd it not happen to you?"

"Immune, Dragons are highly magical creatures; a simple Alpha Stigma is not enough to overpower their magic and willpower. In essence, for dragons, it just allows us to learn new magic faster" Alice says

"And that black lightning was your magic" Cecily asks as Alice nods

"Were done for the day, I'm going to take a nap, wake me if and only if something happens" Alice says as she walks back into the house, waving to Cecily behind her

.

Alice walks into the house and lies on the couch; Keeno puts her book down and lays down with Alice who wraps her arms around her and they drift peacefully off to sleep

.

Two hours later

.

Alice and Keeno are awoken with a loud bell; they look around, grab their weapons, grab Yuno and Morgan and run outside only to see near town, there is fighting going on against something inhuman. As they get closer they see they are large human shaped wolves walking on two legs, eight feet tall and blood red eyes, beating knights left and right

.

"You know, they should've sent magic users" Alice notes as they observe the fight

.

Wolf Demon x 3
HP: 750/750
Str: 75
Def: 50
Res: 30

.

"Yeah, definitely going to need long range fighters for this" Alice says shaking her head

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the magic beast that dances through the skies!"

.

Alice unleashes the Estabul Magic as three wolves of light shoots forward and attacks the three demon wolves, dealing double damage and cutting off most of their HP. Cecily, Luke and Lisa show up a moment later, Cecily unsheathes her sword and it crackles with lightning. Cecily walks forward and stabs the sword into the ground sending a shockwave of lightning out and hitting the three beasts disintegrating them

.

"Be careful with that attack my student" Alice says walking up to Cecily

"Master? What are you doing here?"

"I was having a good nap when I heard the warning bell go off, came out here and was using long range attacks to weaken them before you showed up"

.

Cecily nods her head and goes to check on the remaining knights as Luke looks at the damage with a grim look

.

"If they had sent mages instead of soldiers, no one would have had to die" Luke says as Alice nods

.

A purple glow appears in the nearby tree line, expanding before exploding as the nearby are begins to freeze itself and continue into the nearby area at a rapid pace. From the forest a new creature emerges, a giant spider like creature made entirely of ice; it looks at them with one eye in the shape of a magic circle as it roars an inhuman roar

.

"Idiot, how could you sign a demon contract" Luke says staring at the demon

"I've got it" Cecily says running at the Demon

"No don't" Alice yells

.

Cecily shoots forward and strikes at the monster with her lightning blade, cutting off one of its legs before being thrown back being struck by another. It raises one of its legs and moves to impale Cecily who closes her eyes in fear. When the killing blow does not come she opens her eyes to see Alice slicing through it with her sword

.

"Master"

"Listen when I tell you these things okay. We train and you'll do just fine against humans, and most monsters, but this is a demon so let me handle it" Alice says softly

.

Ice Demon
Lv: 30
HP: 4500/4500
MP: 3500/3500
Def: 75
Res: 75

.

"Now then, let's see what you got. [Firaja][Mist]"

.

Two red squares form around Alice in the shape of a star and red and purple fireballs form around her. A blood red mist forms around the creature and fire emerges from the mist hitting the creature as the mist stays. Alice rushes forward, sword drawn as it glows white and she jumps and slashes at its body as it bleeds black blood and lets out an shriek as it tries to stab Alice with its legs, only nicking her sides before she gets a safe distance away. Green balls of energy circle around Alice as her health and Mana are returned to max. The ice creature roars and a pair of ice wings appear on its back, from the bullets of ice shoot from them at Alice

.

"I offer up this contract, to bear the wicked beast that sleeps within the earth!"

.

Alice uses the Estabul spell and her legs glow as she dodges a majority of the bullets and takes grazing shots from others

.

As the green balls of energy circle around her, restoring her, the mist once more conjures fire and damages the creature

.

"[Firaja] [Hammer]"

.

A blue magic circle appears in front of her, it is connected to strings of runic inscriptions hanging off the circle, along with familiar red squares in the shape of a star below her. A large red hammer appears and strikes the creature, exploding in a burst of flame. Alice pants after expending so much magic, even as it is restored by the green balls of energy

.

Ice Demon
HP: 2308/4500
MP: 2100/3500
Def: 75
Res: 75

.

Alice shakes her head in frustration before narrowing her eyes and facing the creature once more

.

"Let's try something new. [Gran Rey Cero] [Hammer]"

.

Alice cuts her hand on her sword and her blood pools into the Cero blast. Once the Cero changes to black it moves into the air changing shape into a black hammer before striking at the creature and firing a beam upon contact. The creature, now having a hole in its face, falls to the ground, dead and twitching before disappearing in a blast of purple flames. As the green balls of energy restore her to max Health, Mana, and Reiryoku, she looks exhausted as screens appear in front of her

.

Alice closes the screens and looking at the situation and seeing it well in hand, unfurls her wings

.

"Well, you seem to have this covered, I'm going to take a nap" Alice says waving before quickly taking off

.

Alice lands at home and walks in, up the stairs and into her bedroom, all the while leaving her coat, sword and boots strewn across her path. Alice lies on her bed and lies down on her back, wings still out as she falls asleep. Moments later, having seen Alice come in, Yuno and Keeno, walk in, her sword and clothes in hand, place them at the foot of the bed before curling up next to Alice and enjoying the feel of her wings as they snuggle together with Alice

.

The next day

.

"Master…Master, are you awake" Cecily says banging on the front door

.

Alice opens her eyes and seeing Yuno and Keeno snuggled up with her, using her wings as a blanket, she gently retracts her wings, puts a blanket on them and wanders down the stairs sword in hand, black lightning in the other. She opens the door with a frown on her face and narrowed eyes as she points her sword at Cecily's neck

.

"Give me one reason I shouldn't fry you right now, for waking me up this early" Alice says noticing that the sun has just come up

.

Alice looks behind Cecily and notices a new girl, wearing a green skirt, brown heeled shoes, and a green top that shows off her stomach, along with light, chocolate brown hair.

.

"Oh, you're coming out, I'm so happy for you" Alice says sheathing her sword and dissipating the lightning as she hugs Cecily who turns bright red and stammers

"It's so nice to meet you, Cecily sure chose a good one" Alice says shaking the new girl's hand

"My name is Aria, Cecily's partner, nice to meet you" Aria says shaking Alice's hand with a smile

"W-wait, I'm not…"

"This is great, Yuno and Keeno have wanted me to get a few more like us to go on dates with. Matter of fact, Yuno, Keeno; come down here" Alice says

.

A moment later, a sleepy Yuno and Keeno emerge rubbing sleep from their eyes

.

"This is Aria, Cecily's girlfriend. How about we all go into town later" Alice says as the two perk up and go to introduce themselves to her as Morgan walks out tired and stretching and sees the happy looks

"What's going on?"

"Mother's found some more friends for her date nights with Yuno and Keeno" Alice says

"Good for you Mother, I'm going to cook some breakfast" Morgan says walking back in the house

"This'll be wonderful" Alice says as Cecily yells

"Hey"

.

The all turn to Cecily who is red with anger

.

"I. Am. Not. Gay" Cecily says as Aria puts on a teary expression

"I'm hurt Cecily, what about all we promised each other. That we'd be partners, and protect the people together, did that all mean nothing to you" Aria says tears flowing before smirking and wiping her eyes

"It's ok Cecily, you tell us when you're ready" Alice says patting Cecily on the shoulder as they walk back inside with Aria as Cecily screams to the sky before walking in and sitting down for breakfast with the others

.

Morgan gives each of them a plate of bacon, eggs and sausage along with some wine. As they eat Aria and Cecily have happy, dazed expressions

.

"It tastes really good"

"So much flavor"

"Thanks, I inherited my cooking from Mother" Morgan says proudly

"Oh, who's you mother" Aria asks

"Ali…"Morgan starts before Alice pinches her cheeks

"Morgan, you need to control that mouth of yours"

"Ywes Mwther. Pwese, it hwts" Morgan says as Alice lets go and sighs

"Ok, once more" Alice says unfurling her wings

"Names Alice, 220 year old dragon, Morgan's mother, and lover of Yuno and Keeno" Alice says as Aria shrugs, and goes back to eating

.

About an hour later

.

The group walks over to Luke and Lisa's, and are having tea when they all walk in

"Here you go Miss Alice" Lisa says handing her a cup of tea along with one to the others

"So who's the new girl" Luke asks

"Cecily's girlfriend Aria" Alice says taking a sip of her tea as Cecily chokes on hers

"Come on, I'm not…"

"Makes sense, I got that vibe off her when we met" Luke says reading his book

"W-what"

"Cecily and I promised to be partners and I look forward to the future" Aria says grinning as Cecily hangs her head in defeat

"You know at this rate, I'm going to need a bigger house, with all the people that continuously come into my house" Luke says

"The guy who built our house does great work" Alice notes offhandedly sipping her tea

.

An hour later

.

"Allie, I found it" Keeno says coming up to Alice, who is training in a field

"The Roland magic academy?" Alice asks as Keeno nods

"Wonderful, let's go see if we can get some new magic from the kingdom"

.

Alice and Keeno unfurl their wings and take off, out of the city and fly for several miles until they reach a remote part of the forest, covered by a fence is an academy obscured by the trees. The two land a mile away and trek the rest of the way, they look out from the tree line once they reach the academy and crouch down as to not be spotted as students emerge and walk into a practice area and use magic to duel each other. Alice and Keeno watch with their Alpha Stigma as the two complete a practice match

.

"What I seek is thunder, Izuchi!"

.

One student's right hand glows and he touches it to his left hand before placing his hands, one above his head and once below his torso and a green magic circle appears covering the circumference of his hands. The green magic circle has a diagonal cross covering the circle. From it a bolt of yellow lightning shoots forward and at the other student who dodges and performs the same spell as the other sidesteps it and charges with a sword, the weaponless student dodges a few times before lunging back. His hands glows and he takes the glow into both of his hands, separating them then pushing them back together as a magic circle within a square appears, in the center is a diagonal cross.

.

"What I seek is the water cloud, Mizui!"

.

A blast of water shoots forward, hitting the sword wielder and pushing him back, as the other student glows and a magic circle appears in the shape of an eye overtop a pentagram

.

"What I seek is the burning field, Kurenai!"

.

A blast of fire shoots into the sky, forming a blood red Y. Fire bolts shoots forward and the sword wielder dodges and blocks using the lightning and water spell. He stops and looks over at the student who unleashed the fire spell

.

"What the hell was that, this was a practice match?"

"I play to win, if you can't handle it, find someone else"

.

The two argue and head back inside and Alice and Keeno look over the screens in front of them

.

.

Alice and Keeno look over the screens and nod to each other before cautiously moving back and through the forest before using their wings to take off and head back to their house. They arrive and head inside, grabbing Yuno and Morgan before going into the field before showing them their new moves after making sure no one can see them. Yuno and Morgan pick up the moves before they go inside and Morgan falls asleep on the couch as Yuno, Keeno and Alice go upstairs and fall asleep together on the bed.

.

About an hour later

.

"Master, Luke and Lisa invited us for dinner" Cecily says knocking on the door

.

Alice gets up and nudging Yuno and Keeno awake walk downstairs, wake up Morgan and open the door

.

"The only reason, I am not mad at being woken up is that I'm hungry and I refuse to leave Aria without a partner" Alice says as Cecily sighs, not even trying to fight the accusation anymore

.

They walk over to Luke and Lisa's and sit down for dinner, as they eat they discuss recent events

.

"With Aria here, you now have greater diversity in you sword skills, but now it seems I have to teach you to dual wield" Alice says to Cecily who nods

"True, two swords with DemonSlayer properties, will provide much better chances in encounters with demons, along with the diversity from using a wind sword and a lightning sword" Cecily says

"What about the new influx of demon contracts. It is concerning given that we are getting closer to producing a sacred sword" Luke says as Cecily widens her eyes

"You are?"

"With Alice's help, dragon's blood and imbuement of specific attributes, we are getting close to producing a sword between the two of us that shall be strong enough, the ones we've produced are good but we melt them down to reuse the metal and it seems to strengthen the attributes as long as we add more dragons blood during forging" Luke says

"What's the current strength of your best sword?"

"A weak Demon Sword, but next time it should be middle tier, then high, then the last time should be where we want it"

"Honestly we might not even need that, I've figured out that grinding down dragon bones, if from a strong dragon, strengthens a swords attributes even more" Alice says

.

Luke thinks about this as the rest continue eating dinner before the warning bell is sounded. They all look up and Alice's group looks up with narrowed eyes as they make their way outside and into the city. When they reach the city they see townspeople running away from people with snake like parasites attached to their necks.

.

Alice takes her sword and begins going through the people left and right, making sure the parasites are dead and consequently the people they were attached too. Her group joins a second later and after a minute they go through all in the immediate area before separating to take the rest of the town.
.

Alice looks into an alleyway and sees Cecily holding the demon sword, which takes the shape of a silver Europeans sword with a gold hilt, and her forged sword from Alice, staring at a single opponent. Cecily only stares at the man, unmoving and Alice realizes what happened, she moves in and decapitates the man, and the parasite before pulling Cecily into a hug as she drops the two swords

.

"It's okay child; I understand. You're a kind spirit, you don't have it in you to kill something human, but that was not human anymore. There was nothing you could have done" Alice says softly as Cecily cries on Alice's shoulder

.

Alice picks up Cecily's sword and sheathes it on Cecily's hip as the other turns back into Aria

.

The next day

.

Cecily holds up her two swords as Alice unsheathes her one, and they fight, clashing back and forth as Alice is on the defensive due to the disadvantage of having only one sword. Cecily unleashes a bolt of lightning and a blast of wind as Alice raises her hand and a black ball of energy appears. Alice shoots the ball at the two attacks and as it moves it expands and explodes upon contact with the two attacks.

.

Alice charges through the smoke and blocks one strike with her sword and the other, Alice pulls out a Sword, the hilt and grip made of bone, the blade oddly shaped, spikes around the blade and on one side the spikes form the shape of a fanged mouth.

.

"What is that sword, it feels wrong?"

"It is a shadow sword, tricky thing to use, but very worth it in certain circumstances" Alice says charging

.

The two meet their swords as Alice's shadow sword glows every now and then causing small cuts to from on Alice

.

"That sword damages you doesn't it?"

"Yep, but when you have a plan it works"

.

For several more minutes the two go back and forth, after a moment Alice sheathes her sword and places the shadow sword back in her inventory, pulling out a gold three pronged lance, twirling it and pointing it at Cecily. The lance glows with purple flames as Alice rushes forward and thrusts the spear, breaking through Cecily's defense of her two swords in an x formation and strikes her in the side, causing her pain.

.

Alice removes the lance, placing it back in her inventory, and reequipping her abilities as green balls of energy surround her and restore her health and mana

.

.

Alice walks over to Cecily and uses [Undo HP] to restore Cecily's health before helping her up

.

"You did well today; I had to use more than one weapon, and had to use one of my more interesting combinations to beat you"

"What exactly was the combination?"

"Lower health by taking damage and the sword's effect, and then change to the lance which deals greater damage the more health I have lost"

"A risky but effective strategy"

"Unless you have a lot of health to spare"

"Your dual wielding is coming along nicely, even though I don't really know much about it. Honestly I prefer one sword to two"

"You teach me well Master, anything you can give me will help sometime soon" Cecily says as Alice smiles

.

Several days later

.

Alice walks through the ongoing festival with Yuno and Keeno, each holding one of her hands with happy smiles on their faces.

.

Alice places a silver bracelet on Yuno's wrist, the design formed into a diamond shape and in the center a blood red ruby; on Keeno she places a silver necklace which hangs a small silver tome with a blood red ruby

.

"Allie, it's beautiful, thank you so much" Yuno says holding her bracelet

"I love it, thank you" Keeno says smiling while admiring it

.

The two reach over and kiss Alice on the cheeks before linking their arms to one of Alice's before they continue walking

.

"Go find a real man to show you a good time instead of that girl you pathetic wenches" a man yells

.

Alice turns to the man filled with rage as her eyes change to solid black as her aura turns blood red

.

Alice grabs her right hand with her left, raises it to the sky and twirls it in a circle as three black circles move from her head to the ground

.

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the demonic beast that prowls through the underworld!"

.

A ball of blood red ball of energy appears in Alice's hands, she throws it into the magic circle and three black wolves with blood red eyes made of shadows emerge from the circle and charge at the man, devouring him and causing large amounts of pain as he dies, when the wolves dissipate, the body is completely gone. Alice spikes her aura and looks to the crowd

.

"Anyone else!" Alice yells as the area is flooded with killing intent

.

Everyone quickly shakes their heads as her aura dissipates and her eyes change back to light purple as Yuno and Keeno calm her down as they walk away

.

"You didn't need to do that Allie" Yuno says

"We don't want to cause any you trouble" Keeno says

"You don't cause me any trouble. If anyone ever treats you like that, I'll do the same to them, because you two have done so much for me. Pulled me away from the darkness several times, and I love the both of you for it"

.

Alice kisses each of them on the lips briefly before they link their arms together and continue walking

.

A loud explosion is heard and Alice, Yuno and Keeno rush towards the arena where it came from and see a large golem, at least 8 feet tall, made of lava, slashing a sword which they quickly recognize as Aria in her sword form, as it slashes the sword, arcs of flames fire out and at the surrounding area. They see Cecily trying to combat the golem with her forged sword, shooting blasts of lightning

.

"Give back Aria. Now" She says firing more powerful blasts of lightning

"My mood had just gotten better then you had to go and ruin it again" Alice says looking at the golem

"Master, he took Aria, help me get her back, please"

"You never had to ask, child, I will always be here for you"

.

Alice closes her eyes as her aura spikes and turns blood red, she opens her eyes and they change once more to jet black. Her hands glow blood red and she holds them out, in front of them forms a jet black magic circle, in the center is the symbol of the Fell Dragon, six eyes connected by lines that intertwine on the bottom.

.

"What I seek is the darkness that strikes the earth, Jigoku Izuchi!"

.

From the magic circle, black lightning shoots out and at the golem, striking through its heart and it stops moving and its flames go out, slowly reigniting from the ground up.

.

"I offer up this contract, to bear the wicked beast that sleeps within the earth!"

.

Alice performs the Estabul spell and as her legs glow, she shoots forward and grabs the sword from the monsters unmoving form, tossing it to Cecily who, grabs it and charges the golem with her two swords as Alice unsheathes her own and it glows a white color as she charges at the monster and slashes it, as it screams and reignites immediately and breathes fire, forcing the two back, Cecily shoots a blast of lightning and wind at it as Alice holds her hands up as a blue magic circle appears with strings of runic inscriptions attached to it as two red squares appear beneath her forming a star with her at the center

.

"[Blizzaja] [Hammer]"

.

A blue ball of energy appears in front of her, moving ahead it changes shape into a large hammer, strikes the golem, who is pushed back into the stadium wall. It stumbles forward before falling down and disappearing in a blast of purple flames as several screens appear in front of her

Alice looks over her stats before dismissing the screens and looks over at Cecily hugging Aria tightly and sobbing into her shoulder

.

"You did very well until I arrived, I think you would have been fine without me" Alice says as Cecily shakes her head

"No, I couldn't have done it without you Master"

"We'll work on your confidence later, for now spend some quality time with Aria" Alice says turning around and waving as she leaves with Yuno and Keeno. When Cecily does not defend herself Alice turns around and sees Aria and Cecily kissing, she smiles and links her arms with Yuno and Keeno's as they walk home

.

Several days later

.

Yuno, Morgan, Cecily, Aria, Lisa, and Luke go into town on a shopping trip leaving Alice and Keeno at the house, for both do not like shopping. Alice stands in the field ready to create another sword this time for herself, Keeno stands next to her to provide further magic power. Alice summons a purple magic circle with the symbol of the Fell Dragon, she places her sword on top of the magic circle, along with several dozen dragon's bones and several dozen vials of Dragon's blood, before flooding it with Reiryoku and Mana as Keeno does the same as a screen appears

.

Alice looks over the sword, seeing no physical change, but the great internal changes to her weapon; she smiles a feral smile at the growth of her weapon

.

"This will definitely be fun" Alice says

.

An hour later

.

When they return, Yuno and Morgan, carry bags of new clothes while Cecily and Aria seem to have gone home. Luke is holding Lisa's hand, while she smiles happily while playing with the small hat on her head, wearing a new outfit, brown shorts, a brown and white top with a red bow that shows some of her stomach and a small brown and white hat that has a small feather on it.

.

"Did you all have fun" Alice says sheathing her sword

"Yep, Morgan and I got lots of new clothes to wear"

"And they look so good on us"

"Honestly I don't get how you two like shopping, Keeno and I are content to do magic research and make new inventions"

"You're you and were us" Morgan says profoundly as Alice shrugs

"And what about you two, you look cozy"

"Luke bought me this hat, it goes with my outfit, isn't it nice?" Lisa says happy

"Yeah, its real nice, now why are you holding hands"

"I think it's time to go home Lisa" Luke says

"Luke, don't you want Miss Alice to know" Lisa says teasing voice

"Oh that you two got together, I figured that out a while ago" Alice says

"But It was just now" Luke says before covering his mouth with his hands

"Hey I don't judge, Lisa is a bit older then she looks, I mean look at me I'm well over two centuries old and I look 18" Alice says

.

Luke and Lisa walk back to their house holding hands and go inside as Cecily and Aria run up after a minute

.

"Did you see where Luke and Lisa went" Cecily quickly asks

"If you mean the two lovebirds, you just missed them" Alice says

"We missed their confession and were hoping to catch them in the act"

"Leave them alone for now, give them some time, then you can bother them" Alice says in a scolding tone as the two lower their heads

"Yes Master"

"Yes Miss Alice"

.

The next day

.

Alice walks through the market, getting supplies when she hears fighting going on nearby

.

"Can't we get a week without this happening?" she asks with a sigh as she puts the supplies in her inventory as she draws her sword and takes off in the direction she heard the fighting from

.

She rushes into an enclosed area and sees Cecily fighting with three people wielding Demon Swords attacking her at the same time, she is doing well with both swords, but is slowly losing steam. Alice unfurls her wings and goes into the sky before shooting down and landing in the middle of the fight, stopping all of them

.

"Why are you attacking my student?"

"Master" Cecily says happy she arrived

"We want the sword, that's all; we all have demon swords so it's a fair fight"

"So, three on one is a fair fight, I think I'll show you why you don't mess with my students" Alice says as her aura changes to blood red and her eyes change to solid black

"What I seek is the water that corrodes the gods, Sutikusu no Mizu"

.

Alice's hand glows with a blood red energy that spreads to both her hands, she brings her hands out and then back together as a black magic circle appears with the symbol of the Fell Dragon in the middle. Black Water shoots from the circle at one of the opponent's hitting them before she turns and does the same to the other two. They all scream in pain as the water corrodes their skin slowly and painfully

.

"Who do you work for?"

"Princess Charlotte, she is a daughter of the current king"

"Great another brat to deal with"

"Hey don't you dare…" one of them starts before yelling in pain

"You're lucky I'm trying not to piss a kingdom off right now" Alice says using her [Undo HP] to return them to before they were affected by her spell

.

.

Alice knocks all of them unconscious, ties them together and drags them to the Knight guards HQ while Cecily follows. Alice kicks open the door to see Luke and Lisa sitting there with the commanders of the knight guard and a young girl with blonde hair in twin tails along with a blue coat

.

"What did you do to my retainers" she says looking over her unconscious and beaten guards

"You attack my friends, you're lucky I didn't kill them, especially when you're just a bastard child of the king. The only kid he recognizes is his son with the queen and you're not Sion"

"You know big brother Sion?"

"Know him, I saved his life, but that's not important, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand" Alice says as her eyes turn black and her alpha stigma shows

"B-because"

"Exactly, there is no good reason, and since Sion never mentioned you, we don't even know for sure you're a kid of the kings" she says unsheathing her weapon as Cecily puts a hand on Alice's shoulder

"Alice, violence is not the answer to everything" Cecily says softly as Alice puts away her sword

"Fine, but they come near me or you again, I can't promise their lives. I'm going for a nap. Luke, whenever you're ready, we can make the sacred sword" Alice says closing the door

.

Several days later

.

Cecily took the girl and her retainers to her house and they, Cecily included were made to work as maids. Eventually they got a response from the king, denying the girl as his daughter and ordering their immediate capture. Cecily helps them leave with the lesson that they don't need anything but each other

.

"Are you ready for this Alice?" Luke asks as they stand in the field

"Sure" Alice says looking over to Yuno, Keeno and Morgan

.

Alice summons a magic circle with the symbol of the Fell Dragon. Luke places a pure silver blade with no impurities on top of the magic circle. Alice places a thousand shrunk dragon's bones, and a thousand shrunken vials of dragon's blood.

Alice reaches into the magic circle and pulls out a black Katana with a white hilt. It radiates holy power

.

.

Attack power: None
Durability: Unbreakable
Greater Holy Sword and Greater DemonSlayer grant the skill [True Sealing]

- When the Demon Vaalbanil is stabbed with this sword it will permanently seal him away, never to be awakened

.

"This is the sword that will seal Vaalbanil forever. All we have to do is stab him through with it" Alice says holding the sword up as they all look on in awe.

"Soon, I'll bring this sword before the council, they will organize a trip up the mountain and then this will all be over" Luke says with hope in his eyes

.

Several months later

.

"Now then, with the sacred sword forged, we shall journey up the mountain to slay the demon Vaalbanil once and for all. For our protection the kingdom has temporarily allowed the Alpha Stigma Ryner Lute to join us, and if necessary to kill him when he loses control"

.

Ryner walks up to Alice who is also tuning out the man talking
.

"Hey Alice how've you been" Ryner says with a smile as Alice hugs him

"It is good to see you my friend, how has captivity treated you?"

"Meh, three meals a day, naps, and all the books I can read, pretty well in my opinion, you?"

"Been able to keep our Alpha Stigma hidden all this time, and the ones who know, don't care, so made some real friends, learned some good magic and even improved anything we learned with it"

"Really now?"

"Yep, combined their spells with my own special magic and created stronger versions" Alice says proudly

"How have you been Uncle Ryner" Morgan says

"Good, why do you call me uncle?"

"Believe in dragons Ryner?" Alice says smirking

"Really now, that's cool"

"Have you finished your thesis yet?" Keeno asks

"Almost halfway done now, that's pretty good for the almost year I've been imprisoned"

"Did you find any special swords when you were researching your thesis?" Yuno asks

"Only one but it required the sacrifice of body parts to use"

"Shame, I love the sword Allie made me but a legendary sword to go with it would be awesome" Yuno says

"How about Sion, how's he been?"

"Don't know, haven't seen him since he tried to break me out. Told him the same thing I told you, it would be nice to find out how he's doing though" Ryner says

"Alright, let's move out"

"Guess it's time to get going Ryner" Alice says

"Ladies first" he says gesturing into the forest

.

The forest day 1
Nothing happens

The forest day 5
Nothing happens

The forest day 10
Nothing happens

The forest Day 20
The group walks through the forest, the mountain bottom clearly visible. As they move to climb it they hear howling and loud steps as several somethings are coming for them. From the forest emerge bear like demons, standing on two legs with blood red eyes and brown fur covered in blood, dry and fresh

.

Bear Demon x 6
HP: 150/150

.

Alice sits back and watches as the knights easily dispatch the demons and they begin up the mountain. On the mountain a screen appears

.

Vaalbanil Dungeon
Lv 100
100 Floors

.

Alice recognizes the danger they will face the closer they get to the top floor as they enter the mountain

.

Floor 1
Lv 1 monsters

.

"Hey Ryner, discreetly use your Alpha Stigma on the nearby area" Alice says as he does so and is shocked at realizing what the mountain is

"A dungeon" he says deactivating his Alpha Stigma

"Yep, one hundred floors, each progressively harder" Alice says

"Were screwed"

"They are maybe, but dragons flourish in diversity, they also protect friends" Alice says patting Ryner on the shoulder as they continue in

.

Rat Demon x 100
HP: 50/50
Def: 0
Res: 0
This low level demon's strength comes in its numbers

.

Alice looks at the scene then at Ryner, gesturing for him to watch, her aura turns blood red and her eyes, jet black. Her hands glow at her sides as she brings them together, conjuring a black magic circle with the symbol of the Fell Dragon on it

.

"What I seek is the field of the infernal flame, Rengoku!"

.

From the magic circle, black flames emerge and bathe the area in front of them in hell fire before dissipating leaving nothing in its wake

.

"This is the result of magic research" Alice says as her group walks forward and the knights follow

.

1 week later, Floor 10

.

"This is taking forever Allie" Yuno groans

"This is what happens when you need to stop for sleep" Alice says looking at the knights and Ryner all asleep

"Well excuse those of us who need sleep" Ryner says waking up

"You have the right idea Ryner, naps are better, sleep takes up too much of the time we could be spending getting to the higher levels of the mountain" Alice says

"It's good someone shares my point of view on naps"

"Oh, we all do, they're very pleasant, and still allow for a lot of the day to be spent productively"

.

As the knights wake up and eat, they march on and soon they reach a large door

.

"Come on, this is the way to the next floor" a man says pushing open the door

.

Boss Room

.

Alice looks at the screen and thinks for a moment before following them in. Once they are all in the door closes behind them, Alice shakes her head, unsurprised before a loud roar draws their attention. They look ahead and see the creature that made the roar. Standing two meters tall, wielding a large broadsword, stands a bipedal ox, with red fur and blood red eyes

.

Kobold lord
Lv: 10
HP: 5000/5000
MP: 2500/2500

.

Alice looks at the screen carefully as the knight's charge at the boss blindly, raising their swords and surrounding the boss who swings his sword once and sends them all flying

.

"Come on then Monster, you're here for a reason" A man says shoving Ryner closer to the boss as Alice walks with him

"Use it on me Ryner, see if you can copy this, for I am very curious" Alice says as Ryner nods

.

Alice walks forward and her aura turns red as her eyes turn black. She takes her right hand with her left, raises it to the sky, twirls her index finger in a circle as three black magic circles descend from her head to the ground

.

"I offer up this contract, to bear the wicked beast that devours the light"

.

The circle glows darkly and Alice glows the same as the light around her seems to disappear within the endless void she is covered in. She disappears and reappears behind it, performing the same ritual as three more black circles descend

.

"I offer up this contract, to unleash the demonic spirit that rules over the skies"

.

A black missile made of air shoots forward and at the monster, tearing through its hide and dealing significant damage. Alice disappears and reappears as it turns behind to look where she just was. She takes her glowing hands out and presses them together, summoning a magic circle with the symbol of the fell dragon

.

"What I seek is the water that corrodes the gods, Sutikusu no Mizu"

.

A black blast of water shoots forward and hits the monster as its skin slowly corroding it as she repeats the spell before rushing back and happily looking at the development as Ryner replicates her moves. Everyone rushes back as the monster disintegrates into nothing from the corrosion

.

.

One Month Later, floor 50

.

As they have climbed the floors, the EXP from enemies has dropped to almost nothing, only the boss monsters provide any good EXP but Alice still has not leveled up since floor ten.

"This is getting boring" Ryner says as they walk

"Yeah, well the enemies are getting stronger and we seem to stay about the same"

"Except you figured out how to control the Alpha Stigma completely" he says jealous

"Dragon, we can do just about anything we want to with enough time and energy. Secondly, do you know how hard it was hiding that fact when there is an army ready to kill Alpha Stigma if they use that specific power?"

.

Alice walks with her group and the army before reaching another door, they try to push it open and it does not budge. Alice places her hand on it and hides her face from view

.

"[Analyze Existence]"

.

Alice's Alpha Stigma appears on her eyes and one appears on her right hand placed on the door

.

Floor 50 boss room
Requirements:
One member of the party must be Level 50

.

"Bloody hell"
.

"What is it Alice?"

"Were nowhere near strong enough to open the door"

.

Alice slides away from the army who doesn't notice and slips down into the floor below where wisps of black energy are condensing into the boss they defeated three days ago. A black Phoenix forms ten feet tall, spreads its wings and screeches as it looks at Alice with its blood red eyes

.

Black Phoenix revived

.

Alice smiles at the creature, knowing it would get stronger since it was a Phoenix. She spreads her hands as they glow blood red and bringing her hands together, conjuring a magic circle with the symbol of the Fell Dragon

.

"What I seek is the water that corrodes the gods, Sutikusu no Mizu"

.

A stream of black water shoots forward and hits the creature as it begins corroding the bird's skin. It screeches at it propels itself at Alice, who takes off using her wings and releasing the spell again, raising the erosion to 20% per minute. The creature fires black flames at it chases Alice, who does her best to dodge before getting hit and being healed by [Auto Undo]. The bird surprisingly stops and begins glowing with a dark energy as it explodes and reappears from the explosion, bigger, and with another pair of wings

.

.

Alice fires the corrosive spell again as it works as the bird begins disintegrating again before it resurrects itself. Alice, getting frustrated, raises her hand as the Alpha Stigma appears on her eyes and her hand

.

"[Analyze Existence] and [Release]"

.

Her hand glows and a red beam shoots from it, hitting and cutting off its wings and legs before decapitating it as the rest of its body disappears in black flames. Alice looks around for the creature before sighing in relief as screens appear in front of her. Due to one person instead of a party, Share EXP does not affect this battle

Alice reads her screens, thinking she needs to come back here some time by herself, since it fixed the low EXP problem, before walking back up, seeing the others still pressing on the door as it clicks and swings open. Everyone walks in and they stand on a platform hovering over a large seemingly bottomless pit. They look around as the doors swing shut and the torches illuminating the room change to an ominous blood red color. They hear a screech and all look up as a creature drops from the ceiling. When the smoke dissipates, a bipedal ram with blue fur and blue-white eyes, curved horns, and a large sword in its hand as its snake headed tail swishes back and forth

.

The Gleam Eyes
Lv: 95
HP: 75,000/75,000
Def: 85
Res: 50
A special boss monster appearing at the halfway point between the beginning and the end of a dungeon, cannot be defeated by [Alpha Stigma] abilities

.

"Crap"

"What is it?"

"Alpha Stigma is ineffective against it"

"Were toast aren't we?"

"Well…The facts seem to support that, but I think we can do it"

"And why is that"

"My abilities are a cheat form of regeneration, constantly keeping me at top form, any drain from abilities used replaced almost immediately, allowing active spells to remain active indefinitely"

.

Alice walks forward, sword in hand and places her left hand on her sword as it glows a jet black color

.

"Hail to the Fallen Dragon, Grim Excalibur"

.

The glow spreads to her body and surrounds her completely as the glow blinds everyone. As it dissipates everyone notices Alice's new appearance with shock, bone white skin along with red tufts of fur around her wrists, ankles and forming a collar around her neck. Black lines across her body leading to a hole in her chest, black claws in the edge of her white hands. A skull mask covers her entire face with two holes for eyes and two horns on the top of its head pointing horizontally in front of her, Alice's tactician coat on its body protecting her chest and leaving only the hollow hole and the black lines across her body visible as her red hair flows in the wind as it emerges from the bottom of the mask.

.

The mask opens and Alice lets out an inhuman roar as she charges the monster with her sword raised as Black magic circles appear around her with the symbol of the fell dragon. As she slashes at the creature it hits and the magic circles fire each of the variants of the spells she has learned from the Alpha Stigma and modified with the Fell Dragons power. Black Lightning, Flames, blasts of water, bullets of darkness, they all shoots towards the creature who takes the attacks and is stunned for a moment before charging

.

The creature swings its sword down at Alice, who raises her sword with one hand and blocks the monsters two handed swing

.

The creature falls to one knee as its other leg is corroded to nothing; it strikes with its snake tail, which opens to bite, only to meet the steel of Alice's sword. Alice raises her clawed fingers and cuts the tail off effortlessly. The creature glows red and spews fire at Alice, who spreads her wings and takes off to avoid it as green balls of energy surround her and restore her mana and health, healing all ailments and injuries

.

As the creatures other leg disintegrates it roars and two bat like wings emerge from its back, lifting it off the ground as it strikes with its sword and blasts of wind as Alice disappears and reappears behind it, conjuring several black magic circles beneath her that glow with blood red energy before several dozen wolves made of shadows emerge and turn their blood red eyes on their blue furred foe and shoot forward

.

As the wolves dissipate the hollowfied Alice stands over the creature, its arms, legs and wings torn off. It stares at Alice defiantly as it shoots more fire at Alice, who stands there as the green balls of energy heal her injuries. She raises her sword above her head and in one clean movement slices off its head and it disappears in a burst of purple flames.

.

Alice changes back in a glow black flames as she looks back to the army behind her who stare with looks of fear, disgust and hatred. Alice, deciding to stoke the fires a bit more, activates her Alpha Stigma and grins at the as they all pale and look afraid, before they all raise their weapons and charge Alice who grins and glows with darkness as three black magic circles descend from her head to the ground

.

"I offer up this contract, to bear the wicked beast that devours the light"

.

As Alice dodges and blocks the strikes she grins and laughs

.

"Come on now, we got along so well the past month, can't we be civil?" Alice asks teasingly

.

"Monster"

"Demon"

"Kill it"

"Purify it"

"Kill it with fire"

.

Alice laughs, amused with their responses as her group watches her, ready to step in if necessary. After a moment of dodging the army seems to realize the implications of Alice being some kind of monster and turns to her group

.

"They were harboring a monster"

"They're probably monsters as well"

"Kill them all"

"Let me at them first"

.

Alice frowns and opens a Gargantua that transports her right in front of her group as she looks at the army with narrowed eyes

.

"You want a monster, I'll give you one" Alice says looking at the several hundred members of the army as two pairs of purple eye like tattoos appear on her face giving the appearance of six eyes, her six wings spread and her eyes change to blood red

.

"Do you know who I am" Alice says, voice filled with power as the others pale and step back

.

A black aura engulfs Alice

.

"I am the wings of despair."

"I am the breath of ruin."

"I am the Fell Dragon."

.

A black stone appears in Alice's hand

.

"I, am, Grima"

.

Alice holds the stone up to the sky and a black rose shape engulfs Alice as black lightning strikes the rose. When the light dissipates, a 300 foot long dragon floats in the sky above them, flapping its six large dark purple wings, staring at them with its six blood red eyes. Its horns pointed straight at them as its snake like body moves with its wings

.

"If you are what they call a 'human being' then I am glad I am a monster" Alice says as large black magic circles appear below the army with the Fell Dragon's symbol on it

"Die pathetic humans, [Expiration]"

.

Jet black spikes with purple veins emerge from the magic circles and impale everyone inside them. When they dissipate only a few dozen members remain. The Dragon glows a dark purple and begins shrinking, when it reaches the ground it turns back to Alice, who looks at them with narrowed eyes

.

"How about now, you still think you can kill us" Alice says raising her hand as black lightning crackles in her hand

.

Alice thrusts her hand forward and a dragon made of black lightning shoots at them with its maw open, as they scream as the dragon shoots through one and the next and the next until they all are dead on the floor in a smoking pile. Ryner looks at the scene then at Alice with sadness

.

"I understand, merely existing is enough for most to want us dead, and for plenty to actively seek our deaths" he says, a hand on Alice's shoulder as she smiles at him as the bodies disappear in a burst of purple flames

.

EXP: 9245/17400

.

"I don't feel bad about it, I admit, murder isn't my favorite activity, but I protect me and mine, friends and family" Alice says as her group comes up and hugs her

.

2 months later beginning of floor 100

.

Without the army to help in the fighting, it took a bit more time to clear dungeons, boss fights became easier, since they weren't getting any better and at times were actively in the way, EXP was hard to come by since the fight with The Gleam Eyes, Ryner and the rest of Alice's group level up considerably while Alice doesn't at all

.

"These past few months have been pretty good, gave me plenty of time to nap, and new ideas for my thesis. I think if Hero Relics are as magically charged as I think they are, dungeons would form around them, and lengthen or shorten depending on the amount of magic within them"

"That's good, we'll have to go search for a few after we get done here"

"Maybe, though once we go back I think, they'll put me back in jail"

"You could always run"

"Maybe, but being hunted is not very pleasant, I wouldn't get as many chances to nap, always looking over my shoulder."

.

The group silently continues through the dungeon until they reach a large mausoleum. The push open the large metal doors and lying in the center is a demon with its eyes closed, its wings spread protectively around itself, the moonlight showing through on its black skin. His hands, clawed, are placed across his chest. Through his hands and chest is a golden sword radiating Holy energy, not as powerful as an Excalibur level sword, but strong. Alice reaches into her inventory and removes the black blade and grips its white hilt

.

Vaalbanil
HP: 75,000/200,000
MP: 100,000/500,000
Def: 100
Res: 100
The Demon Vaalbanil, leader of the demon hordes, the demon who begun a war against humanity. He is sealed now, but if not stopped soon, in several years he shall awaken

.

Alice looks over the screen and is not really surprised, with the amount of Holy energy that he would awaken in a few years; even now she can feel the diminishing of the power, if ever so slight

.

Alice takes the sacred sword and stands over Vaalbanil, she raises the sword. In one motion, she stabs through the old sword and into Vaalbanil, whose body spasms as blood soaks the ground beneath him. The blood seeps into the ground as his body seems to liquefy and seep into the ground like his blood. After five minutes they watch the remaining black blood seep into the ground along with the sword, which had liquefied into a gold white color.

.

"All in all that is anticlimactic" Alice says looking over the ground shaking her head

"I almost expected we would have to fight Vaalbanil himself" Ryner says with relief as Alice sighs

"And here I was actually ready to fight him. I expected a great battle with the possibility of death, after a long drawn out fight, at the last moment some unexplainable force would come in, fill us with new power and we would come from behind in victory"

"Come on Alice, this isn't some story. Although maybe in the future I will tell my descendants this one" Ryner says as he stands at the door

.

One month later Base of the dungeon

.

Going down is often easier than going up; this was especially true when the opponents get weaker as you go down, after a month of descending they finally make it to the beginning of the dungeon, where they began their journey almost five months prior only to find a surprise waiting for them

.

"You are to stand down immediately and surrender Ryner Lute to imperial custody"

.

Alice raises her hands and black lightning arcs around them in a dome surrounding Alice and her group

.

"Say the word Ryner and I'll deal with this, you're my friend, if you say the word we will keep you from them"

"I appreciate that Alice, more then you know, you and yours are true friends and I could have asked for such great companions but I believe it is time for me to go. I promise, we'll see each other again" Ryner says putting a hand on Alice's shoulder

"You change your mind, use my lightning spell, and I'll find you, got it" Alice says lightly punching him in the shoulder as he nods and Alice dissipates the dome and Ryner is cuffed and taken away

.

Alice and her group make their way back to their house, only to be met, and then tackled, by Cecily and Lisa, saying how worried they were, and are led to a feast with Luke, Aria, Lisa, and Cecily

.

"So what was the mountain like?"

"It turns out it was a dungeon owned by Vaalbanil"

"One hundred floors, each progressively harder"

"And yet after floor 50 it became strangely easy, for us at least. They all tried to kill us, so we had to get rid of them"

"So after three months we reached the final floor"

"I took the sacred sword to Vaalbanil's form and stabbed straight through the old sword and into him; where he melted along with the sword into the earth, never to return"

"We spent the next month traveling down, fairly easy, and then when we reached the bottom floor the army was waiting to take Ryner back into prison, he didn't fight even though we were ready to defend him"

"I've actually heard some rumors about that" Luke says

"Yeah, and what do these rumors say" Alice asks

"That there is a coup soon to take place, led by the kings own son, course its unproven so it is uninvestigated"

"It would make sense, Sion was never fond of his old man, he would make a much better king, and then Ryner could get out of prison"

"Why are you so fond of him anyway?" Cecily asks

"I see things in people, potential, emotion, he didn't really care that we were dragons, so many people have feared or tried to offer things to us for favors, but Ryner, he thought it was cool and we kept moving along on our journey, he treated us like family and he became the same to us, he has the biggest heart and hides so much pain, yet an equal amount of potential, he's my brother, one of the few I allow that position" Alice says, her expression growing soft towards the end

"You really care that much about him"

.

"I didn't want to send him back to that hellhole. I would have killed all of them if he'd only said the word, but he didn't, that heart of his, he won't kill needlessly or for himself"

"And you will?"

.

"when I was 18 so many years ago, I killed eleven people, the face they were trying to kill me is irrelevant, I found Yuno again soon after, we tried to fix things, put balance back, we made it worse, condemned so many to a horrid fate because of a mistake. Millions were killed because of us; don't tell me it wasn't our fault, because that weighs on me when my conscience rears in my mind." Alice says laughing bitterly

"Age is a funny thing for us dragons; the older we are the less things bother us but the more we feel, that's why dragons are territorial creatures. Our conscience leaves slowly, but it returns every now and then, and the mistakes of our past rear at those times and it hurts more and more every time." Alice says as the others remain silent until Lisa walks over and hugs her

.

"I'm sorry" the small girl says holding Alice tightly

"It weighs on me too Allie" Yuno says softly joining the hug

"I was not around yet but I understand where you are coming from" Keeno says joining as well

"Everything will be ok mother, you'll always have us during those times" Morgan says hugging Alice tightly as Alice lets a few tears fall before wiping her eyes

"I really couldn't have asked for better friends and family" Alice says holding onto them

.

And there is chapter 2, don't know how many chapters this book will have but it will be completely posted by the middle or end of next month
