This chapter is brought to you by energy drinks and dubstep.
In the kitchen area of my room, I sat on a stool next to Kiba as we waited for the girls and Saji to wake up. It's been five or so minutes since Kiba got here and we are leisurely drinking hot chocolate while waiting.
"You know Kiba, I'm surprised Marian or Kay hasn't tried this yet. They seemed angry after hearing about Xenovia; I mean they dragged me to the bus stop."
"Well, they are girls so they are very delicate. You won't know what's happening with them until it is. You see us two, we are blessed with good looks and the girls fawn over us but we still make some mistakes."
"Yeah … no one can catch a break."
"Not even your wives, especially Seekvaira-san."
…Especially Seekvaira? I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant by that but I stopped myself and took out my phone. I quickly dialled her number and waited for it to connect.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?"
As I spoke into the phone I saw Kiba give me a disappointed look.
"I'm doing fine; I can feel the baby kicking already."
"Yeah, you are around halfway through. It's gone a month so about a month and a half left."
"Have you thought at all about a name?"
"I have for a boy but not a girl. I thought of Vesper for a boy."
"Any meaning behind that?"
"It means evening in classical Latin."
"I said any meaning."
"I just like it why?"
"No good."
You are gonna bust my balls thinking of a name. I might as well think of a name for a girl then, I'll make up one.
"Then I'll try a name for a girl, what about … Crysza?"
"Another name you like?"
"Yup, is it bad?"
"…No, I like that one. Be sure to think of a name for a boy and visit me soon."
"I will do. I'll come see you in a few days; I'll bring you a souvenir. Ciao."
The call disconnects and I turn to Kiba who was filling up our cups. He slid my cup along the table top to me and sighed.
"You forgot that your wife was pregnant, didn't you?"
"That coupled with this makes me sound bad. I didn't forget, my mind was just preoccupied with other things so it took me longer to think about it. She's safe and not in labour yet so I haven't had to worry while I work."
"I don't know if that makes it any better."
"Well … it doesn't matter now. I have spoken to her and came up with a name for a girl; also she doesn't know about what has transpired here so all is good in the hood."
Kiba just waves my words away with his hand as he takes another sip from his drink. My attention turns to the five girls on the bed, although they are still naked they are at least now covered by a blanket. Saji was still passed out by the elevator and I had no idea when he would awaken.
"We are meeting up at Tenryuu-ji later today?"
"I believe so Kiba, it could be dangerous though."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well it's the temple of the heavenly dragon; the enemies probably have it under watch. With it being the Khaos brigade then we will get some clues on Yasaka's whereabouts. It just seems like a place they would attack, maybe not the actual temple because that would be beyond rude but around there. If they do attack, I'll hopefully have time to store my souvenirs."
"Are you gonna buy everyone a stone or wooden carving of a dragon?"
"Maybe … I wonder if they'll have a marble statue or something there."
A small series of grunts appear near the elevator meaning that Saji was awakening. As a sudden thought popped into my head, I jumped up from the chair and ran over to the elevator and called it up. It arrived and as the doors opened I grabbed Saji by the collar and threw him in once they fully opened. I poked part of my body into the elevator and pressed the button to the bottom floor and the doors closed as I pulled my top half back into the room.
Turning my head to the side I looked at the panel which ran along the wall next to the elevator doors and had two buttons. One to call the elevator and the other was to stop the elevator from reaching my floor at all. I pressed in that button and returned to my seat and took a sip from my hot chocolate that was full again.
It seemed that Kiba had refilled my drink while I was dealing with Saji.
"So Kiba … You got a girl you like?"
"Where the hell does that come from?"
"Who knows. There are five girls here and are already naked so if it's one of them then you could possibly have sex with them, I mean I have barely spoken to the Kendo duo and they just had sex with me last night."
"So it was sex and not rape?"
"Who knows Kiba, at the time it wasn't because I was drunk and up for it but now I'm against it so I don't know. Consensual love maybe."
"You know that means it was actual sex, right?"
"…Can you stop being so smart and just let me skirt around the issue?"
Kiba just shook his head at me in disappointment and went back to his own drink. I finished my own drink while waiting for the girls to wake up, after getting bored of waiting I decided to wake them up. I stood up from my chair and walked to the end of the bed.
"5 clone illusion."
My body started to shake as four lined blurs appear beside me with two on either side. The lines started to thicken and enhance as they started to take form becoming exact copies of myself. Once they all took their final shapes we took our pick from the girls and grabbed onto their wrists. My body started to shake once again as the four illusions beside me were sucked into the girls around me as I held onto Xenovia's wrist. The four girls then started to breathe deeply and let out soft moans that were being held back slightly. My body then stopped shaking and my grip released from Xenovia and I stepped back as the same was now happening to Xenovia who was now joining the girls around her in pure ecstasy.
I stepped back again and I was now leaning against the windows watching the girls writhe.
"What have you done now?"
"Well its only speculation but I believe my clones are acting like vibrating dildos."
I said it with a smile as Kiba looked disgusted.
"Do they know that's what it is?"
"Nah, of course not. They will be having a wet dream about me and eventually get wet and maybe leak out fluids. When the clones stop so will the dream and all the girls will wake up with wet under regions."
"So you are using the powers of Great Red to stimulate women?"
I threw a thumbs up at him.
"Hell yeah, also I like the way you put it. You said it like it was better than it actually is."
…Silence. With the odd atmosphere that couldn't be named, the only thing was a smell. A sweaty smell now permeated through the room as a smell that was slightly recognisable now started to envelope the first smell making it a little pleasant.
The sounds of the girl's moan echoed through the room, they changed from each girl. Asia would release a soft, high pitched moan that if you were actually doing it would make you move slowly and truly pleasure the act. Xenovia was releasing fast-paced groans that were loud and stimulating as I found myself quickly enjoying the spectacle before me. Her moans gave off the feel of something animalistic and as if sex with her could possibly be dangerous or at least very rough. The three other girls all held rather similar expressions as their moans were more fruitful, it would make you feel proud of yourself that you were able to get such a girl and would be able to pleasure her to such an extent.
I heard a gasp come from Kiba as I saw Xenovia's body start to convulse as her groans grew louder and louder. Her upper body started to arch upwards as she seemed to be nearing an orgasm. Thinking this sparked something that I thought Kiba should know.
"You know Kiba; it's a myth that using the penis is the main way to pleasure a woman. Women only reach an orgasm around 25% per cent of the time during sexual intercourse but orgasm around 81% of the time during Oral sex."
With my little lesson out of the way and my attention back to the girls I felt the clone's power wearing off. They would have a minute total left. Knowing that this would be the end and the thing left would be the noise that would erupt from their mouths during the orgasm I took the time to go back to my seat that was next to a frozen Kiba that was dyed red like a tomato. I felt like he was completely out of it but I also felt like he completely heard what I said and it was swirling around his mind.
As I put the kettle on to reheat the water I leaned towards Kiba and started to whisper into his ear.
"There is also anal and nipple stimulation as well that can bring people to an orgasm. It's very rare for someone to do so through nipple stimulation but it is possible and more likely to be done so by a woman because their nipples and areola are more sensitive, I don't know the exact reason but I think it's due to the ability to produce milk and the need to feed a baby. A maternal instinct coupled with feeling horny on top the man you like stimulating something soft … I can understand a woman cumming from just that."
I decided to continue with my knowledge of orgasms after I took a sip from my newly filled cup of hot chocolate.
"Orgasming is healthy for your body. It has been scientifically proven that men aged between 45 and 49 are likely to live longer orgasming two times a week rather than not at all. There was another test that sexual intercourse is good for cardiovascular activity as it makes you 50% less likely to suffer from a stroke or a heart attack."
To round off my lesson I started to veer a little from my original point.
"When it comes to mammals, male are more closely correlated to animals than women are but when you add non-mammals then the women come back. In truth there are a number of non-mammals like Alligators that have clitorises. Also Dolphins are rather similar to humans in this respect as they engage in sexual intercourse in reasons other than to make babies. Even the duration of an orgasm isn't the same between mammals, female humans typically orgasm for around 20 seconds on average when it completely differs when you time other animals."
As the five girls come to the end of their orgasms, dreams and sleep I end Kiba's lesson with some inconsistencies.
"There is a small population of women that urinate during ejaculation and more often than not, it isn't even due to having bladder problems as some women say the two feeling are remarkably similar."
Coming to the end of everything in the room, I place my now empty cup in the sink and move to the bathroom as I start the bath for the girls. When I come back from the bathroom, the five girls are awake and all huddled together clutching on to the blanket that was covering their bodies. Both Asia and Irina had completely red faces compared to the Kendo duo that had slightly red faces. Xenovia on the other hand was fine, she looked happy more than anything.
To the extent of their problems, I don't think they had even realised that Kiba was in the room or they had but noticed his frozen state.
As I stood next to the bed, each of the girls looked up to me with confused eyes.
"Just think of your dreams as a little payback from me about last night. I can make you do all that without getting physical … anyway; I have just started the water in the bath so it should be ready for you soon. Once you are all sorted, come down for breakfast."
I threw a ball of magic towards the buttons next to the elevator to call it up as I walked over to Kiba and picked him up throwing him over my shoulder. I then took my place in the elevator as a frozen Kiba just dangles on my shoulder. The doors to the elevator close after I wave to the girls.
We arrived in the lobby of the hotel quickly and I stepped out with the still frozen Kiba except now he was muttering to himself. As I stepped into the lobby I saw everyone in the dining area allotted to the school and seeing some seats spare I entered the room closing the door behind me.
The few spare seats were right at the back of the room next to the student council members and opposite the teachers. My entrance caused a spark of emotion within the room as the lifeless breakfast turned and became lively. The guys seemed pretty pissed that I was actually here for food as the girls were excited for two reasons. They were probably excited for food and also wondering about Kiba who was still muttering to himself incoherently.
I traversed through the room and plopped Kiba down next to Saji who was glaring at me for reasons completely unknown to me. Just as I was about to sit down next to him a maid came into the room with a silver cart with a tray on top.
"Zagan-sama, your seat is over here."
I looked to where she had stopped and it was at the head of the centre table, it was also surrounded by girls. As I thought that this situation seemed a little fishy I nevertheless went to the seat and sat down. Once I got comfortable, the maid placed down the silver tray on the table and took off the lid revealing an extravagant meal that put everyone else's to shame.
It seems yet again that I am being treated unfairly, well in the eyes of others.
"Karl-sama, as thanks for letting us stay in your hotel we would like to feed you."
Feeding me as thanks for staying in the hotel? Well, a standard room would cost more than the ones I got everyone in but is this enough for them? Is there a catch behind it?
There might just be a catch as I saw what the girls were wearing. They were wearing their own clothes and not the uniform reminding me that this was a free casual day, the reason for that was unknown as I probably signed some letter without thinking again. Anyway, all the girls were wearing low cut tank tops that revealed a lot of cleavage and for the girls that didn't have at least a considerable cleavage they went with tight shorts that seemed almost too small for the most part but there was the odd girl who had denim shorts that could barely contain the extrusion that is called the 'ass'.
"There is no need to thank me for that … but I will graciously take you up on your offer."
As I say that a number of forks appear in front of my mouth with an assortment of food, some that weren't even on my own plate. On top of that was the odd chopstick which was obviously a ploy by some of the girls to get an indirect kiss, along with my acknowledgement of it a number of girls decided to change their utensil of choice to chopsticks. It then came as a wave of choice apart from one girl and if I remember correctly, she was known as my number one fan. Rumours were going round that she had made her own plushies of me and slept with them at night, a few girls had even said that she also made a penis on the plushy of me to make her think that she was having sex with me. That may be too far I don't know but she at least chose not to follow the crowd in a direct sense of the term, what she did intrigued me and I couldn't help myself but stare at what she was doing either in confusion or a sense of 'want' like I wanted it or wondered what she was going to do next.
The girl ate the food of her fork but then started to make out with it, if that's the right thing to say. Her saliva was just dripping out of the corner of her mouth as it also started to glide down the design that was engraved in the fork. As I gulped she took the fork out of her mouth and stabbed a few pieces of different meat with it and dangled it in front of my mouth.
I was engrossed in the action she had performed and unconsciously opened my mouth where she quickly deposited the meat and her saliva. Her movement was rather sloppy as some of the meat didn't even enter my mouth and dangled slightly out of my mouth before being pulled in when I chewed. Her own saliva was trickling down from my mouth to my chin after it latched onto my lips from the fork as it dripped down when she put the meat into my mouth.
The girls around me just watched as I continued to chew the food, I kept chewing on the food because I didn't know what to say. You would normally say 'it's delicious' but I fear that me saying that would possibly cause her to do something extreme. She might put pictures of me all over her wall unless she hasn't done it already. Deciding to go with the norm I opened my mouth and spoke sincerely, "It's delicious."
My mouth hung open after I finished replying to her about the food. Of course it was tasty, my own staff made it but even still, I somewhat regretted it as she was obviously going to take it as a compliment to her … even if I was to rebut.
Then the chaos ensued, the girls argued amongst themselves and were relentlessly stuffing my mouth with food. At the end of it I felt like I had drunk enough of their saliva to be part girl. Some people could say that I already was part girl but those people just don't appreciate beauty like I do.
Sometime later and our three groups were standing in the lobby of the Kyoto station as we were waiting for Kiryuu to decide on what's first. I was sitting down as the others were stood up, I was feeling rather heavy by the amount of food that I was forced to consume earlier.
"So what's first Kiryuu?"
"We are going to Arashiyama and the girls told me that the only place you looked forward to is Tenryuu-ji so we will be going there first."
I started to feel warm inside as I shot up from the chair and a fire started to burn in my eyes.
"Yes, yes Tenryuu-ji. Let's go."
"We need to get on the streetcar and head towards Arashiyama, then get off at the closest stop to Arashiyama. Then we will walk to our destination from there."
I quickly led the group to the streetcar station and we all boarded onto one streetcar(tram) and left the station. With the other people on the streetcar it was pretty cramped but it didn't bother me at all as I was completely engrossed in just being able to see Tenryuu-ji.
We finally arrived outside the gates that led up to the temple, the gates were elegant as I had expected. I stood outside them and stared up to the temple as my eyes shone. As I looked around I saw that other students from our school was here and I felt happy that others were coming to see the temple of the Heavenly dragons, it made me feel that I was being worshipped in a way.
'Does this place hold significance to your guys?'
{This was the place the two idiots were killed. Parts of their bodies were buried here and the rest were put into the two Longinus' that you hold.}
Ooooh, so this place is that special.
We entered through the massive gates and quickly paid the entrance fee.
"Hello. Karl-sama, you came."
I heard a girl call my name and I turned around to see Kunou standing at the bottom of the steps in a priestess outfit. I jumped at her and picked her up holding her in a hug.
"Of course I did, Kunou. Coming to Kyoto and not taking the chance to see Tenryuu-ji is preposterous. You also said you would be our guide so it gave me another reason to come."
I put her back on the ground as I saw her face start to turn a bright red that contrasted well with her blonde hair.
"Come on Kunou, let's go. They can just follow."
Due to my insistence, Kunou's introduction didn't even begin as I was too focused on seeing the temple rather than allowing her to be polite.
As we started our tour of Tenryuu-ji, Kunou started to tell us stories about the area that she had heard from others. She tried her best to explain them and even got caught up at times; she looked adorable when she did so. We then passed through the garden and looked at the different flowers that were in bloom as beautiful carps swam in the large pool that ran around the garden. The view from the garden and of the garden was both spectacular and well worthy of their place as a World Heritage Site.
Once we had finished touring the garden, we were taken to the teaching hall. Upon entering I felt new found energy that flowed through my body as my surroundings seemed submissive. I looked up to the ceiling and saw a number of dragons but one caught my eye the most. It was an eastern dragon with a long and slender body.
"Unryuu-zu, the 'Image of the Cloud' dragon. A true heavenly dragon."
I went full fan-boy mode the moment I passed through the doorway. I spent a lot of time looking at each dragon and the exquisite design of them. In the middle of the room was a large table which was basically a model display table as it had scenery full of mountains and trees occupying it. Dragons of all shapes and sizes were dotted around the table.
{Karl, can I ask you something?}
'What? I'm looking at dragons.'
{Yeah, yeah. Your favourite colour is yellow right?}
'Yup, closely followed by purple. Why?'
{Well … with being a part of you I have the ability to speak to Great Red and be noticed. I was speaking to him and he gave me some more details on your 'True Dragon' form.}
'What did he say?'
{Well … the name Great Red is strictly about him so it doesn't correspond with you but True Dragon, Apocalypse Dragon and 'Dragon of Dragons' do. The name changes from Great Red when someone is to mention you, the name would be 'Devil Yellow' because you are a devil and your colour is … yellow.}
'Why not red?'
{Great Red said that you are to take your own path and not be burdened by him. You are taking up his job and nothing else so he gave you the ability to grow into your true form. As you become more acquainted with your True Dragon powers, the more yellow your dragon form will become. As you have probably guessed it, your dragon eyes will be purple.}
'Anything else that dragon did?'
{Ahh yes. If you are ever to change your hair colour to yellow or blond, his powers will activate and change your eye colour to purple.}
'Is there a chance that my hair and eyes will permanently go those colours when I master his powers?'
{Before then, when you get to a sufficient point in the training your hair will naturally become blonde or yellow, your choice, and your eyes will turn purple. Also Great Red will then give up his post but remain in the Dimension Gap.}
Hmmm … that dragon is a really lax guy. Everything he does must be so he can be lazy again. Well he is definitely strong enough to have that kinda lifestyle.
'Tia, why haven't those two said anything? I can understand it with Albion but not Ddraig. I expected him to say something out of turn by now.'
{Albion is asleep, it seems he doesn't want to remember something that is connected with this area or the dragons in here. Ddraig is … Ddraig … I don't want to say. I can't believe I even made a kid with him.}
'Me too Tia. You should divert yourself to Albion; he is an all-in-all better dragon.'
…What could that dragon be doing I wonder?
With the day slowly passing by, the girls got impatient with waiting for me to be done with Tenryuu-ji so they dragged me out of the temple while I was pondering about the absence of my two Heavenly Dragons.
"Seen as I have been pulled out of the initial reason of coming to Kyoto, where is next Kunou?"
"Nison-in! The Bamboo Path! Jojakko-ji! I will take you everywhere!"
Kunou sounded excited as she listed off the names but with Tenryuu-ji getting smaller and smaller, I didn't care for the other places. After leaving the grounds of Tenryuu-ji we continued 'our' tour around Arashiyama.
After the lengthy tour through Arashiyama we finally stopped and were now in a tofu hotpot place that Kunou had recommended to us. As we sat around one pot, I was the only one not eating as I was in my head with Tiamat building something.
"Tiamat, while I am making this are you able to change the colours of Somnium Repelle?"
{You want them to correspond with your actual colours, correct?}
"Exactly, it will help with the feel."
{What are you making there anyway?}
"This?"
I looked down to my hands and there was three yellow dragon scales in my hand that were connected and shaped into a tube. I put my hand into it and grabbed onto the thin pole near the end and tightened my fist.
"This is a Pata. It's a type of weapon that originates from India; it's a blade that is connected to a handguard that is shaped like a gauntlet. They typically used to duel wield them and I feel like it gives you more security in a fight, because on top of sword techniques you can still get away with martial arts as they also have more reach because of the blade and if you do hit with a punch, there is the sword puncture before the fist's impact so the damage sustained from one hit can be immense."
{So you are making another weapon? Are you not going to make any armour?}
"I have no need, if I want defense I can use my multi-form Eevee to gain resistance plus if they use fire, lighting or water magic then I can just absorb them to strengthen myself. Besides I am making it like this then fusing it with the sword sacred gears to form a gauntlet similar to the weapon in the hilt and grip so all the swords have the handguard."
I then started to form four more yellow dragon scales that were connected to each other. I left the middle to as they were to make the blade look original and took to modelling the two end pieces. I left the top part of the end piece and curved the bottom part to a sharp point; just lightly touching my finger with it caused blood to leak out. The final piece of scale was the one connecting the scale blade to the gauntlet, with this one I had to model the top part and leave the bottom part as it was. As I modelled it I left the two spikes on either side as they were and cut into the space between the centre and the two spikes, this allowed the centre that was atleast a few inches lower down than the spike to connect with the gauntlet and now that the rest of that scale was opened up it allowed a clean fit and the two spikes ran alongside the gauntlet down to around where my wrist was.
{Oh Karl it looks like we have landed in something troublesome.}
"Eh what do you mean?"
{Well, I was looking after your body while you are here making your weapon and some things happened. Mainly with Rossweisse getting drunk and shattering the image of her that the three humans had and now we are surrounded by dark mist. All that's here are the members of your peerage and brave saints along with Azazel and Kiba, Rossweisse may be somewhere if Azazel didn't have enough time to get her out of here.}
"Can't they deal with it themselves?"
{I doubt it. The mist is from the Longinus 'Dimension Lost' so that means the 'Hero Faction' from the Khaos Brigade are here, your friends don't know who they are nor what they wield so they are in considerable danger.}
"Fine, let me fuse this with the sacred gears and I will take my body back."
I closed my eyes and started to focus my magic onto the Dragon Pata I had just made. A voice quickly appeared in my head asking for some input, so I replied. "Name: Harsh Truth. Apply it to both Sword birth and Blade Blacksmith." The gauntleted sword flashed briefly as I felt it connect with my magic.
I started to focus again but this time on my body and a second later I was back in it looking round at the situation in question. Dark fog was floating around our feet and we had a hard time seeing the ground.
"Dimension Lost eh? So we really are in another dimension."
My voice brought the others back to reality as I started to look around in marvel.
"..On the verge of death, mother's dying guard reported that they were also trapped by mist without warning."
While holding onto my sleeve, Kunou spoke in a trembling voice.
"I see, so it really was the Khaos Brigade. I believe it's the Hero faction this time and not Vali."
With a quick turn of my hand, my tablet appeared in it and I searched all documents for Khaos Brigade. When I found it I saw that there were a number of descendants of famous heroes and the leader of this squad was the descendant of Cao Cao.
With the tablet in my right hand, I quickly shook it causing it to disappear. I looked up to where the sky would normally be.
"Descendant of Cao Cao, please do not let me wait for you much longer. I have a kitsune to save."
Out from the darkness to my left came a young man, who looked the same age at me but possibly a few years older. He had short black hair that framed the right side. He was wearing what looked to be a school uniform and wrapped around his waist was something that resembled Han Chinese clothing. At least he had a distinct style.
More people then started to gather around him all wearing similar uniforms. They were all male and female around the same age only different ever so slightly.
They were all full-blooded humans with the only thing special being either excellent fighting ability or a sacred gear to boot. However, even with this 'Dimension Lost' Longinus I wasn't too bothered until I saw the spear that was resting on the shoulder of the man who led the group.
"So the wielder of it is you, Descendant of Cao Cao."
"That would be correct, True Dragon. My name though is actually Cao Cao."
I cast a quick glance behind me and I saw all the devil behind me shivering slightly, the only ones not fazed was Irina and Azazel due to the holy power. Kunou though was shaking although it wasn't for this reason; she was scared because of the mist.
Deciding it would be best for her not to be here, I started to flow my Ki into the surrounding area and closed my eyes. I started to feel blips in the area around me; this area was new and definitely not the one holding Yasaka. This must be a place just to fight us.
I took a hold of Kunou's hand and looked straight into her eyes.
"Kunou, your mother isn't here so I'm going to put you somewhere safe until we are out. Okay?"
She nodded to me timidly and focused my magic into her sending her into my pocket dimension. Despite being a 'Pocket dimension' it was at least the size of the Kanto region. When I say that I obviously mean the Pokémon one.
"So Cao Cao, you really are the only being with the ability to stand against me. That weapon, Holy Spear of the Setting Sun, sure has an ability to wipe me out. High-class devils killed by a little stab, I'm strong especially with 'Powers of the Apocalypse' but a few hits and I will be annihilated."
That spear truly was an enemy to me but it couldn't kill me, only a dragon slayer could do that but only after my devil power have gone. My life works in a weird way, my death would only come when you have killed the two sides of me. The devil side and the dragon side, the holy dragon slayer sword Ascalon would probably be the easiest way to kill me.
"It's a shame though Cao Cao. Even if you were to kill me, I would stay alive but I would have to return to the Dimension Gap."
The True Longinus was one of the holy relics and I also held one. The Holy Tunic, it was one of the Holy relics until it was lost and now that I have it, this will be a battle of relics.
"Allow me one thing though Cao Cao before we start this battle."
"What would that be True Dragon?"
"One on One fight between you and me. My side versus yours, the commanders get to fight."
"Even though my Longinus is the spear that the Seraphim of Heaven fear and able to kill you in a few hits, you are still willing to take me straight on. Awesome, I will do so."
Cao Cao and myself then walked off to the side to put some distance between ourselves. I turned back to Azazel and the others.
"Azazel, you better keep them alive. Those with the faith of Christianity, I forbid you to stare at my battle because this may just end up as a re-enactment."
As the Church Trio and Azazel stare at me a little confused, my voice radiates through the dimension. "Appear 'Seamless robe of Jesus'." A pure white robe appeared on my shoulders, connected by a gold rope around my front the robe swayed in the artificial wind dazzling Cao Cao with its purity and holy aura that was now sky high.
Out of my back popped my twelve angel wings but they didn't stay there for long as the robe made them all fuse together until they were one set of wings. The wings were unique and a whole stage above the archangels, they were a set of wings that belonged to the two men that originally ruled the world. The only beings to ever have these wings were God and his son, Jesus Christ.
The wings were only slightly bigger than the wings of an angel but my plumage was something different. The feathers themselves had changed, each white feather was now graced with gold points but that was not the only change as there were feathers that had become completely gold. This signified the level of holy power.
White was the standard colour of holy power but Gold was the true colour as it was the prime form. Gold has always been the colour of something great; Gold meant that it was a spectacle to behold. A King's crown, Great Red's eyes, Pharoah's Sarcophagus, they are all important things and they are gold.
"True Dragon, what heresy are you doing? You are the prime of dragons and a God of them and the Devils, yet you manifest the powers of Jesus Christ? What is this?"
"It is not something that you can understand quickly. I may be a being that is at the top of Dragons and Devils but if you were to think of me as just that then you would be wrong. The moment I picked up this robe, I became the new Biblical God. Even if it's not official, even though I am not the same as him, even if I am a Devil that is classed as a traitor, I am the Supreme King."
With ending on a high, my wings flexed and flicked out the ends causing holy energy to completely fill the area. It was dense but also thin in power; it lit up the area completely but held no effect on the devils here. They were all now in my dimension.
"That petty Longinus has power against the one who made it but not against me."
This dimension was my domain, a dimension created by the union of my True Dragon powers and my Holy powers. This could be called the Holy Dimension Gap, a place I would belong and blend into as the Yellow Dragon that reigns over all.
'I will show him the extent of the new True Dragon.'
"Let's go, Somnium Repelle."
As I held out my hands, a pair of yellow fingerless gloves appeared on my hands and I felt my eyes change colour, it was like a glass being filled up. A small purple flash appeared in my vision.
{The robe is acting in union with your True Dragon powers; with it equipped you have full control over your powers. Use this time get accustomed to it, it'll help you when you don't have it. Remember, as long as there is a weapon involved 'Somnium Repelle' can also form armour around your body.}
"Cao Cao, I may be the 'Son' of Great Red but do not dare to mistake me with him because there is no way to associate Red with my true powers. Awaken, form of the Yellow Walking Apocalypse." (Close to Unleash the Dream. Restricted to 'Harsh Truth'.)
'Harsh Truth' appeared around my hands and upper forearm but it didn't stop there as the process continued as yellow dragon scales then erupted out of my arms and joined the scales of 'Harsh Truth' making it take up my whole arm. Both of my arms were fully armoured in my own yellow dragon scales. The robe and wings stayed but my powers fused with them and added thin yellow scaled to the end of the robe and a thin line of scales that ran along the top of my wings. Two thin yellow scaled tails popped out of my back and went to either side of the robe. A pair of yellow scaled knee-high armoured boots appeared around my lower leg with a purple jewel that adorned the spot in front of my knee.
Finally was the change to my head, my hair became a gold-yellow as a helmet took form. The helmet left me face on view but took over the top of my head as it turn into the top half of a scaly dragon's snout along with a yellow blade-like horn with two small horns just above it. Two round extrusions aligned with the front of my ears and were filled with a small purple jewel that shone brightly, just behind the two round extrusions came out horns that swivelled round at the tip. The helmet covered the back of my head as well as it followed my hairline and then my jawline as if it was a beard. It went all the way down and ran along my chin where the two sides connected. On both sides where the chin became its own part, two teeth-like extrusions raised up from the yellow scales that ran along my jaw curving round slightly reaching the edge of my lips. The same happened at the top of my head, as two canine-like teeth ran down the curvature of my skull and stopped at my eyebrows that were now barely noticeable.
Flash! Flash!
I looked towards the flashes to see Azazel taking pictures of my new form. This is a serious battle and he is taking pictures? It's something he would do but I didn't think he would do it in this sort of situation.
"What do you think you are doing Azazel?"
"Taking pictures of course. Your wives would love to see you in such a form, plus I can probably get you more work to do by showing this to those bothersome Angels."
"Do as you wish, just don't interfere."
I can't be bothered to play games with him; I need to find out more about Yasaka, though the Angel thing does seem a little irritating.
I looked down to my hands to see how it all looked but I noticed little extrusions from the hand guard I had made, the hand guard itself looked wider as well. I wiggled the tips of my fingers to see that the extrusions were my fingers making it an actual gauntlet with a sword sticking out of it. That wasn't my intention but was probably done due to the form.
My clothes were also a little mismatch of everything. I was wearing black jeans that were being eaten by the boots and I wore a yellow t-shirt that had a design featuring different colours. Oh well, I can live with that.
"Where did you take the Kitsune?"
"That's one thing I can't tell you just yet."
"Then what are you using her for?"
"An experiment."
Damn this kid is frickin' cocky.
"What are you planning?"
"The main idea is to grant the wish of our benefactor."
"Is that Ophis or not?"
"No. The reason we are here now is because I wanted to meet you and the Governor first hand."
Bit of a way to do it, did he kidnap Yasaka because of that? I'm sure there are others in the Khaos Brigade that might have been able to do this mission.
"Do you have any intention to give Yasaka back?"
"There could be a possibility, maybe when we are finished."
This guy … He is rather cocky. He is a human facing off against one of the top three yet he isn't scared nor shows any fear. This guy either lacks fear or he believes in his ability that much. A person like that is truly a scary foe; I think I understand the people who have faced me. I'm confident of my ability but I also know that there are things I can't do. I can't fully control my 'True' powers without help and I wouldn't say I am a technique type; I'm more of a tactical power type. I'm not a complete brawler but it makes up the most of my style, I would say my attacks are calculated and I watch the opponent gauging them and relentlessly deal solid attacks until I find a weakness.
This guy though, despite being a human doesn't show a weakness. He is a human though so his weakness is a physical fight, especially against someone like me but if I was to do that I feel like it may not be effective.
"Leonardo, I'll let you handle the devils and the governor with your monsters."
Cao Cao calls out to a young emotionless kid as I am still trying to gauge him. The young boy nods lightly and dark pools of shadows cross the floor sending an eerie atmosphere through the dimension.
The shadows then grew and took form, hundreds of differently shaped monsters that all looked ferocious and hungry. Their roars echoed around, it was almost deafening.
This was Annihilation Maker, another Longinus. I have come across around half of the 13 Longinus already. True Longinus, Annihilation Maker, Dimension lost, Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing and only briefly, Regulus Nemea. 6 of the 13, I still have a way to go until I meet them all. Some of them I could easily meet like Canis Lykaon as the possessor is a part of Grigori or Zenith Tempest that belongs to Dulio Gesualdo that is Michael's Joker. Finally is Absolute Demise, I've been told that a Magician that is a part of the Magician's association and closely observed by Mephisto Pheles but I haven't seen it myself. The others are all unknown to me.
Back to the monsters and despite their appearances and the fact they had just been made or conjured, they feel similar to something I have felt before.
Shadows? Beings of the shadow, they would disperse when killed. If that is true then Kiba and the others have fought them before but is that possible? The kid would have to be close by to make them unless he can give them straight orders or even see long distances through magic.
If that's true, then balance breaker or even a stronger form of that could be terrifying. He could create god-killers at will and plenty of them at a time. I guess we are lucky that he is still young.
'Tia, send a message to Azazel through Fafnir's Jewel. Make sure Asia stays back and is protected by someone at all times, preferably Raeffe as he is my Rook. I fear they may be able to use Light Magic, some of Rias' past battle have been test battles for the sole gain of that Kid's Annihilation Maker. Light Magic should be the worst they can deal though.'
{Alright I'll send it over now.}
Lightly nodding my head, I push off from the ground and charge towards Cao Cao who leisurely takes the spear off of his shoulder. As I charge towards him I can feel an everlasting sting grow stronger and stronger, it is in no way painful but it is definitely painful. It seems that this form doesn't completely restrict my devil powers.
I slash down with my right hand but Cao Cao was quick to block, I then went with a jab using my left hand but while blocking my right he positioned the spear to block my left. A true Technique-type, what else could he of been. Humans have no hope of being a power type unless they have a completely defensive sacred gear or preferably Longinus.
As I kept him locked in the guard with my swords, I manipulated my tails and used them as whips and hit Cao Cao in the sides of his stomach. It wasn't a strong hit due to not being used to moving my tails with my will but it should have been a good strike.
He then implanted his magic into the spear and then pushed me back several metres causing my boots to dig into the floor leaving a track behind. I regained my balance and ducked down slightly while arching my back. With my arms completely out to the side, my eyes flashed and I tried to look into his dreams. Nothing, there was nothing useful. His dreams were not something I could freely manipulate in such a short amount of time. His dreams were either basic or world changing; I can't do that in a few seconds … not now anyway.
I will need to use another route then … my tails could be a new way round this.
'Yo Tia, can I utilize my tails a bit more?'
{Like what?}
'Fuse them with a certain power. This is my true dragon armour form so could I morph my tails into a weapon or maybe like my Pata for extra reach on my tails or maybe use your powers and have them act like laser blasters or something?'
{Interesting. Great Red has the power to use other dragon's abilities through the use of 'Dream' but through your tail is out of the ordinary. Attack for the time being, I'll get back to you on that.}
That's better than nothing.
I charged back towards Cao Cao while moving my swords in a circular movement but at different intervals and also started to move my arms around. It may look and sounds stupid but it is at least dangerous and exceptionally hard to counter. My right arm was blocked but my left arm was able to cut into his side slightly allowing his blood to come out of his side.
That was the only problem with this technique and the length of the sword. With him blocking using his spear while his arms are fully open, I can barely strike him with the sword. It's just long enough to cut into his side but not long enough to reach his back.
Boom!
A shot of holy magic was shot at the floor in front of me narrowly missing me but blowing a hole in the ground. I jumped back a little.
With the spear being able to attack at a distance is rather annoying, it's like I'm fighting a fallen angel albeit that this fight is actually dangerous for me. Block of holy magic were being shot at me one after another, they seemed relentless. Cao Cao must have just let me attack so he could build up his magic.
Wait … Tiamat said I can use the powers of the other dragons. Vitra was a technique type dragon and put into four sacred gears. They had the individual power to burn with black flames; cast a prison of black flames, absorb power and direct it freely and finally delete field, the ability to take away an opponent's power. I can use that to take away his magic.
I focused in on his magic flow and pointed my right hand towards him.
"Delete Field."
A second later and the blocks of holy magic stopped firing at me. It looks like it has worked, it's not actually Vitra's power so I wonder if there is any restriction on it. I'll ask about everything later.
{Karl, according to Great Red, you can do what you wish with your tail. It's a part of you so it is also linked to your powers.}
'Great. Link the firing system of a Barrett 50. Cal to both tails and load Holy ammunition.'
{Got it. Want me to fire them? I can do it while watching and reading your movements.}
'Please do. Don't do a kill shot; we still need to find out where Yasaka is.'
The tips of my tails rose up into the air and then started to float around shoulder level while the tips were glowing bright gold.
I charged again but this time, I deactivated the Pata and was using gauntlets made from the scales. They were identical in design to the Boosted gear but of course, they were yellow.
I also restricted my power flow as I went in with feints. I didn't punch him until I could understand his agility while I moved at a pace slightly above human. This gave me the chance to dodge but not quickly enough to misread his muscle movement.
As I caused him to spin around but as I chose to move back to dodge, he seemed to anticipate it as his spear got longer and was able to strike into my shoulder destroying it and burning the area and destroying the arm that dropped to the floor.
I then started to up my speed and darted around the area near him while waiting for my Phenix powers to heal my arm. It was working incredibly slowly but my arm was at least coming back in the armoured form. Even with this Holy boost, it seems like my powers as the Devil god are too strong to be silenced. I am only being boosted and do not have the same blood so of course I wouldn't be so resisted against his attack. It seems I may have got too cocky.
'Tia, how long does it take for you to align a shot and fire?'
{4-8 seconds depending on distance and whether we are still moving. Why?}
'Wondering whether I could just continually dodge while you fire but he could probably lengthen his spear in time.'
{While you think of a plan, I'll tell you that Cao Cao will be able to fire his magic again soon.}
Damn, I'm taking too long to defeat this guy. I could use the monsters as backing to maybe try and stop his fire but he could then fire at my teammates and also at the same time the monsters could go after me … could I be overthinking this? Maybe it's because I need information and can't kill him that I am overthinking what to do.
This is annoying.
"Well, this was a fun opening!"
Cao Cao just shouted out to me while I was thinking of what to do next as I darted around the battlefield. He then started to laugh causing me to stop moving around and land on the ground.
"Tonight we will be using Kyoto's special leylines and the Kyuubi leader, and turn Nijou Castle into a great massive experiment! In order to stop us, please come and participate!"
So he is willing to tell us where. This soothes me but not completely, I am pissed. The fight was not over, not by any means. Pointless.
As I stood in front of the other fighters on my side, my arm had finished regenerating as the mist thickened. Tiamat unequipped the Robe from me and my wings shot back into my back along with my two tails but I stayed standing in my armour.
I also felt a tug on my magic as Tiamat pulled Kunou out of my pocket dimension and she appeared with the others.
The mist continued to thicken and started to cover our whole bodies until our vision was completely blocked. Then it just completely disappeared bringing us back to reality in the streets of Togetsukyou. I could hear the others telling me to deactivate my armour but I was too angry to care.
I could feel myself shaking with anger as I was looking down to the ground. That fight just ended so abruptly, I figured basically nothing out at all.
"What the hell is he wearing?!"
I overheard one of the two perverts and turned my head and glared straight at him scaring him. I went to take a step closer but Azazel stood in front of me. I couldn't try to hide my anger any longer and growls started to be released from my closed mouth as I stood planted in one spot now glaring straight at Azazel.
"Are you going to move or will I have to walk around you … Sen-sei."
No answer. I went to move round him but he put his arm out to try and grab me, I stopped caught his hand before he could touch me and span towards him grabbing his head with my right hand. Along with the movement of my other hand I kicked my leg out at his feet knocking him off balance before using my hand that was on his head to shove him face first into the floor cracking it slightly.
A second after knocking him to the floor I released my hold on him.
"Don't touch me when I am pissed. I'm going back to the hotel."
As I spun around yellow particles flew off from me and I walked down the path to the exit. This fight … I won't kill him but I will severely injure him for a good while.
...Wait. There was no gift shop at Tenryuu-ji ... Fuuuuuu-
Well i felt like this chapter actually went pretty well and it's not been that long since the last chapter of this was uploaded ... 4 days.
I have also just started the next chapter because it's a straight continuation and it also means that it's 3 chapters for one volume, so far at least.
I have some plans for side stories soon, some will be actual ones that are edited with characters in here but there is one that is based on an anime that i have re-watched and it's the one of three Anime that have had me laugh every episode. I'm looking forward to having fun with that chapter as well.
I'm a few hundred words into the next chapter so it should be out in 2 days time, i would have it done tomorrow but i have to attend my nephews birthday party.
Anyway, i'm having fun again writing this story so the jokes should be coming back in full. Until the next chapter, Ciao.
