Chapter 24. Days Before Storm
Ise POV
"Touki? The thing that like Koneko-chan do?" I asked and sensei nodded. I can't help but frown a little, why I should train in that?
"Yes. You can say so... But first come here." Sensei call me by waving his hand to me and I go to him. When I in front of him he close his eyes and place his hand to my head
He seem in deep thought what he doing?
Few minute later Sensei open his eyes and his always frown face become deepened
"Your life force decreased. What happen?"
Eh? My life force decreased? What he mean by that?
[Remember about what Azazel said about your lifespan decreased when you use Albion power? That what he mean.]
I see so that what he mean
"Err you see Sensei, I kinda steal Hakuryuukou power and when I use the power it decrease my lifespan.."
I says that sheepishly while rubbing my back head. Sensei and San seem surprised hearing this
"You steal Hakuryuukou power?! I don't know either I have to smack you for such idiocy or praise you for such bravery.. You do realize Albion power are poison for Ddraig, right?"
"Yes. But I didn't thinking that time! Honest! I don't know the consequences would be that bad!" I defended and I can tell Ddraig groan inside me
[Yeah. Act first then thinking, that really you.. Idiot...]
Well sorry for being idiot then!
Sensei merely shook his head at my retort and let out sigh
"Well. The damage aren't too severe. I still can replenish your lifespan."
"Eh? You can do such a thing!? How you going to do that?"
I can't help but asked in surprise
"Using Senjutsu, as you remember when I explain Senjutsu to you and Kai when little, Senjutsu is the power to control the flow of life. By controlling the flow of Ki, I could strengthen physical bodies or cause vegetation around me bloom which mean I can strengthen your lifespan back."
Eh?! Senjutsu is that great?! Wow I didn't realize it was that good! That mean Koneko-chan, Kai and Kuroka are strong person to be able to do that! You also able to do such thing right? Wow your incredible Sensei!
Sensei seem notice my thought and he chuckled
"While my mastery over Senjutsu not too great in battle but in healing I still better. Since I retire as warrior I focus on healing to heal nature around me..." Sensei paused and take a deep breath and his hand slowly glowing in gold aura
He then place his hand above my head and I close my eyes
Bashuuu!
!?
At that moment I feel something entering my body! It feel like something warm entering my body and it began to spread over my body! It like my body being fixed and replenished! I feel my body seem pumped by unknown energy!
"Its done.. It seem you lost 1 month of your lifespan by using Hakuryuukou power. It really high price considering you only use it once. I already replenish it back, you had to be more careful from now on.. Let begin your lesson now.."
"Y-Yes Sensei!"
I saluted to him! Uooooo when I was little I only see him as lazy and annoying old man! But now I see him as strong man! Well he was the Legendary Nature Warrior after all! I didn't knew I was trained by such strong person!
If I think again it seem all my trainer are scary person! Like Tannin-Ossan the former Dragon King, Azazel-sensei the Governor of Fallen Angel and now Jin-sensei the Legendary Nature Warrior!
"Now we will train you. First let strengthen your life force, usually you should be trained in Senjutsu so you able to use Touki but... Your body isn't able to adapt to nature with easy since you basically are human before turned to devil... The train to make your body adapt to nature energy will be hard and long time. It maybe going to take a year."
A year!? Are you serious?! That long? Hey you knew I didn't have time for that right?!
"Not to mention it need a strong heart and patient one, while you are man who are weak to woman and not patient.. Basically you are pervert and also delinquent."
[It hit the spot..]
Shut it Ddraig! Well I'm sorry for being delinquent and pervert oh almighty Nature Warrior!
"But I already anticipate that part.."
Sensei said with grin before he pull up a sword. Oh isn't that the sword you used yesterday?
"This sword are replica of Yawarakai-Te, we call it Honjo. It created by Shodaime-sama for our successor, the successor will learn how to use this first so the human body able to adapt with Senjutsu since this sword also contain Senjutsu aura. Unlike Yawarakai-Te, Honjo not strong as the original Yawarakai-Te, it more weaker and also can be wielded by anyone and any race. Bur this sword pack quite Senjutsu..."
Sensei then handed me the sword and I slowly take it before look into it closely, well it was like Yawarakai-Te, it hilt also green and it shape almost same like what Kai always wield
"With this we can make your body more adapted to Senjutsu, it maybe still going to take time. Maybe few weeks before we able to start your training in Touki, but it better than year right? Now I want you to give me 500 Kata with this sword! START FROM NOW!"
"Hai Sensei!" I said as I began to do Kata with Honjo
'You got long way to go Ise. But I sure in no time you will able to get stronger... I hope you will able to save Kai...' Jin thought with sad
With Kai (Kai POV)
"Senpou : Kuroi Burotu Rasenshuriken (Sage Art : Black Bolt Rasenshuriken)" I shouted and threw the black electric shuriken with sphere of Rasengan in middle of it to the doll training
Baaaaaaam!
The giant dome of black lightning around 10M created and destroy everything around it. When the scene clear there no trace of the doll!
I did it! Yeah! I manage to complete Rasengan manipulation!
Though I need one clone help for that
"Amazing it even surpassed Ultimate-class attack!" Le Fay who watching the computer that measure the damage to the doll spoke with awe
So it even surpassed Ultimate-class attack huh? Well as expected just like what Madara said. The more often I use Senjutsu, the more powerful my chakra become
Currently I was on 2nd Basement and train along with Ophis and Le Fay who watching.. These two often stay with me, well I always stick with Ophis but Le Fay seem stick to me
I was inside the barrier training that cover me, this barrier can make simulation of various place, it also can change to defend mode and anti-sound one.
"Le Fay, change the barrier into agility mode.." I said
"Yes!"
The barrier around me seem blurred before the scene now changed into some forest and in front of me is various log and obstacle for runner
I concentrate chakra on my leg and deactivate my Sharingan. Its time to train my reflex
I blurring away and dashed straight. I ducked under the branch and immediately jumped to dodge another branch in ground. I landed using both hands before push my body, making me stand and run again
I twist my body to the left and dodge the log that I almost hit. The moment I finish spun I had to jump in order to dodge another log but I quickly lower my head and dodge another branch
I dashed when I landed and move to the right, left, duck! Jump! Crouch! Dash! Right! And!
"Finish!" I declared as I stopped and sweating a bit
"3KM in 7 seconds!" Le Fay reported and I grunted
At least there something good. My speed increase and my chakra reserve also increased due to physical training
I panted a bit as I feel tired due to already use Kuroi Burotu Rasenshuriken and try to make it. Damn! My chakra reserve still not enough! Against God level enemy this attack can be blocked!
I let sigh escape from my mouth
"I'm done today! Le Fay put down the barrier." I called and soon the area around me blurred before it back to the basement
"Wow Kai, that last attack amazing! You maybe already surpass Onii-sama!" Le Fay said with big smile and I can't help but smile too seeing her antic
"Thank you Le Fay. But it because your Onii-sama didn't learn another technique.. As you can see me and everyone in here different. While everyone in here fight using their own weapon, I not. I fight using everything I can use, from enemy weapon, experiment and science... That's why I stronger, if I pure train on sword only I will defeated by Vali in few minutes unlike now, I can go toe on toe with him.." I answered honestly. It was true, I only stronger because I want to learn and I always use different method unlike every member on Outlaws who only expert on their own talent.
I working hard to improve myself, every night I memorize everything I learn and keep it repeated in my mind thanks for Sharingan grant me photographic memory
I keep repeated until my head hurt and then go to sleep before doing the same thing tomorrow. It hard for few days but when passed one week my body start to adapt with it
Looking back all of that I still not strong enough, if I got direct hit to my body from Serafall it will be fatal
My Senjutsu shield also grow stronger and I can take on high-class attack with ease at least and if I use Susanoo plus Senjutsu chakra and shield it will become stronger and even able to fight Vali Balance Breaker
But using Susanoo... My limit only 1 hour, not bad seeing last time when fight Hero Faction I only got 15 minutes to go. But if I use Balance Breaker and summon Shinus I will only had 45 minutes.
"Do you want some drink Kai?" Le Fay asked me and I nod
"That will be pleasant, please do.." I said and she go to upstairs while I turn to Ophis who approach me. Gone her Black Gothic lolitta outfit that revealed her body, now she wearing pink jacket with black t-shirt underneath it and gray skirt (just like in Light Novel cover in introduction character)
"You doing good..." Ophis commented and I smiled
"Thank you Ojou-chan..."
"But you still weak..."
I can felt an arrow seem stab my heart just now. Damn she and her bluntness
"Is that so.." I said with forced smile "Sorry then..."
"But you still my friend..." She finished with little smile and I blinked before my smile got wider and warmer
"I... Thank you Ojou-sama... I really glad to be your friend..." I smiled and she has wide eyes for moment before she turn around, make me blinked
'What did this feeling? I feel I can't look into his eyes directly... And why my face very hot?' Ophis thought as she blush and try to understand the strange feeling in her chest.
I stare at Ophis strangely, lately she seem distance herself from me. I wonder why?
Suddenly my instinct screamed for danger and
Booom!
When the smoke clear it shown I was unharmed and on my right hand was gray mechanical pentagram shaped shield with violet jewel in middle of it, it diameter around 60CM enough to cover one-third of my body
"Your instinct got better.." Vali said as he appear from the stairs with his palm extended and had trail of smoke
"I just barely in time calling Shield of Blaster." I smirk back
Yes this is my third Sacred Gear, Shield of Blaster. It was defensive Sacred Gear, a high level one though it act only as simple shield and even able to block one ultimate-class devil attack. But it simply a shield can't be used as other thing
And no, it not heavy it weight just like sword
"You still not attain Balance Breaker of that?" Vali asked and I nodded
"Yes.. No matter how many time I use it, I still can't active it Balance Breaker..." I sighed as I lower Shield of Blaster. I don't get it
I already use this Shield very often but I still can't active it Balance Breaker!
According to the data about this shield from Azazel, which Vali gather. Shield of Blaster are high-class defensive Sacred Gear, but the Balance Breaker about this skill never known! Heck none ever active it! The user only use this as shield!
While I found it fine but who knew the Balance Breaker of Shield of Blaster is good! Beside it was shield and I am a human, I will need it
"Well at least you can use it as shield" Vali said and I grunted
"Yeah but if the attack too strong I will got blasted away.." I retorted calmly
"You make a good point that mean you need to train more in endurance.."
"I am a human Vali, no matter how strong I become my body won't change like you, Bikou and Kuroka. If a direct hit from high-class attack got me, I'm good as dead. Lucky me my Senjutsu barrier that I combine with Magic able to hold Ultimate-class attack... But it just matter of time before my barrier got blasted away, leaving me only in armor."
Vali hearing this sighed and rub his temple
"Kai, of all human I ever fight you are the best... Other than Cao Cao, you maybe the Strongest Human in the world. You are growing fast... Very fast..." Vali said with stern tone and I narrowed my eyes
Well thanks to Madara for that. My skill and reflex increase greatly
"You maybe a human but your mind... I must admit I was impressive. You not a power type but a technique type.. A very good one too... You knew how to use something that given to you... Let just say, I give you one gun with one bullet and you had 3 opponent, you trapped in forest, you can't use any magic, physical body only and you only had 5 minutes to prepare yourself... What you going to do?" He asked me and I blinked
"I will use the gun to break the branch before use part of gun or something near me to make the branch into sharp. It only going to take 3 minute at least for that and the 2 minutes left I will hiding. When the enemy come I will take down the bigger one using gun to kill him.."
"Using gun first?" Vali asked me
"Yes. It will work as intimidation then after that I will hide while they shooting me and I caught their guard by throwing the sharp branch to one of them then the last enemy will become panic seeing his friends down, I will quickly throw the gun to him and then quickly beat him.."
"And what if your enemy good at shoot?" Vali asked again
"I will remove my shirt and use it to cover their sight, at least it give me moment to attack, if shirt not enough what for my pants?"
Vali blinked, one, twice... Before he smirked and burst into laugh
"You... You really genius! I didn't even think like that! Hahaha!" Vali laughed with amused expression while I keep my face calm
Well I guees I kind of happy being complimented by him, I mean he are the Strongest Hakuryuukou in history and possible future
"Kai- ah Vali-sama you also here?" Le Fay come down from the stairs and give me the water
"Thanks..." I said as I drink the water
"Hello Le Fay..." Vali greeted, Le Fay smiled and nod to him before Vali turn to me "Anyway. I plan to visit your brother later.." Vali said and that caught my attention
"Huh? What for?" I asked
"Well. Nothing much but to visit, I see he get stronger a little.. I also want to talk about something to him.." He shrugged and I narrowed my eyes
Oh well I think it won't be bad. Vali fight to defeat not to kill, though he won't have problem in killing but he rather choose defeat so he can fight them again
"If you say so then..." I replied nonchalantly
Speaking about Nii-san and the other, I also have to plan something for Asia... If I recall Diodora and Shalba will kidnap her. Diodora? I can handle even if he using Ophis power but Shalba?
He another case... According to the data that I manage to gain from his experiment data when my Blood Clone sneak on their base, he will on par with the original Beelzebub if consume Ophis snake, not to mention his light device ability. I don't know how he create it but if I can get the data about that device it will help me so much
I will need Saphiron or Shinus help to take him down... Well maybe I will need Saphiron since he are on par with Tannin while Shinus maybe strong not to mention I already add the extra light I gain from Azrael to him but he still not strong enough...
Now... I sure Azazel will use Nii-san team as bait but... If Shalba showed up taking him down will be difficult and there no way in hell Nii-san and the other able to beat him! Yet...
"Umm Kai..."
"Yes?" I turn to Le Fay who point to Ophis
"Why Ophis-sama staring at Vali-sama like that?" She asked and I turn to see Ophis stared at Vali... Long and hard...
"Don't attack Kai without warning again..." Ophis said to Vali in cold tone make us blinked
'Did she just threaten Vali/Vali-sama/Me?' Everyone present thought at the same time
(Hahahaha! To think Ophis will saying such thing! I REALLY like that kid now!) Albion who watching the scene laughed in amusement inside Vali head
Later
"*sigh*This damn thing is hard to learn..." I muttered
Currently I was on living room with 15 bunshin around me, sitting in random place. Some of them sit above cell room, some of them stand on wall and few of them simply leaned on wall. The purpose is to train chakra control while reading. We read various book of magic that maybe useful for me because I try to create some strong spell.
I already try to create some certain strong spell based on Light Magic since I start to join Outlaws... Yet the spell I try to made is very hard...
Well it more like I try to remade it in this world rather than create it
The spell I create it can be used but the display of strength that spell I made is not what I hoping for. So I try to find the way to make it stronger
Since it was Light Magic, I need a large amount of Holy energy... Sure I can gather large holy element if I go hunt Fallen Angel in Khaos Brigade but my body can't take it since my body are human body
Contain large of holy element? Sure I can using Blade Blacksmith, I also can made stronger holy sword thanks to Azrael light elemennt. But to use it in Magic? No... My body not created for that.. If I use it in magic it mean I need to channel it to my body and if I did a little mistake it will become poison in my body and BANG! I dead
So that's why I store all light element to Blade Blacksmith and make it stronger... I also had demonic energy inside Sword Birth to make my demonic sword stronger
In order to create holy-demonic sword. I need to make the balance amount of holy and demonic energy, and because of that I also need demonic energy inside me. The more potent demonic energy inside Sword Birth and holy energy inside Blade Blacksmith, the stronger holy-demonic sword I can create
"Kai..."
I turn and see Le Fay come from kitchen. Bikou, Vali and Arthur is on basement on daily spar while Ophis playing game on my room... Well our room unofficially...
"Yes Le Fay?" The 16 of us including me, the original chorused and she blinked
"Err, what are you doing?" She asked
"Reading to make strong spell..." I said quickly before the clones able to answer
"Oh... What spell you trying to create?" She asked again as she sit on my side and peek on the book I hold
"Various... I learn everything I can... Unlike everyone in here, I use everything I can. My primary weapon maybe sword but I'm not troubled to use Magic, Hand to Hand, Ki, and anything I can found..." I answered simply
"Ooh.. Isn't it make you become a Pawn just like your brother?" Le Fay asked and I blinked before shook my head
"Pawn can become anything. He can become Magic user, hand to hand, Knight, Shield... I'm not... I'm fragile Le Fay..." I said as I close my book with one hand "One bullet from Vali... If it manage to pierce my barrier..." I then rise my finger in gun shape before shoot simple magic attack to my clone who looking to us and it explode in smoke
"I'm attacker not defender... That's why if there a good piece for me in chess... I'm Knight... Fast, deadly, yet fragile..."
Le Fay seeing this scowl a bit
"I see... If may I ask, what you plan in future?" Le Fay asked me and her tone seem filled with worry. I turn to her with usual stoic face
"Dead as human..."
Le Fay scowled hearing this and I turn back to my book
"You know... I still remember the first time we meet..." She said with big smile and I smirk a little under the book
"Yes.. I also remember..." I can't help but having flashback when we meet. I was trying to make barrier which ended very pathetically
"Yeah... You can't even make proper barrier! And look at you now! Become very famous..." She beamed proudly and I can't help but smile a little, she still kid after all. I lower my book a bit and turn to her
"Well.. I have a good teacher, Le Fay-sensei... I really grateful you become my teacher..." I said and Le Fay immediately blushed then dodge my gaze
"Emmm.. T...Thank you I suppose ehehe." She said little shy which I find adorable
"You know. The first time Vali meet me, he mention your name in order to gain my attention. Of course I that time didn't know you are part of his group think you in danger in result I gone to meet him that night.." I told her as I recall the meeting with Vali
"You... You did that for me?" Le Fay said with surprise and I nod before remove her hat and pat her in head
"Of course. I can't let my precious Sensei being hurt aren't I?" I smiled and she blushed while lowering her head
"Thanks..." She said shyly and I nodded with grunt before turn to my book again while rub her head slowly like some kid
'I... I hope you stay with us forever Kai-san...' Le Fay thought with blush as she enjoying Kai rub to her head
Meanwhile with Ise (Ise POV)
The ones sitting around the table are Buchou, Diodora, and Azazel-sensei who is sitting there as an advisor.
After pouring green tea for Diodora, Akeno sits next to Buchou. We, the remaining servants, are looking at them from the corner of the room. It kind of reminds me of the incident with Raiser. It was also like this back then. The difference between a High-class devil and Low-class devil that is. What's different from the incident with Raiser is that this time it isn't about Buchou but Asia instead. Asia who is sitting next to me is putting on a troubled expression. I hold onto Asia who seems nervous and she also grips back on my hand as well. Her nervousness even reached me.
Buchou knows what she is doing. And Asia…..No matter what happens, I will protect you so be rest assured.
After what happen to Kai... You are like little sister to me... And this time I won't fail you like Kai... I will protect you!
-I will even turn into Balance Breaker in order to decline him.
…Though if I end up doing that to a High-class devil, then it will cause a problem. I have broken off Buchou's engagement by doing that once. I can even do it again!
Diodora who doesn't even know I had determination says it to Buchou while making a gentle smile.
"Rias-san. I will say it straight forward. I would like to "Trade" Bishop."
Trade. The Rating Game system where the King's can exchange their servants who are their "pieces". I hear that it is possible between the same chess pieces from Ravel. If it is Bishop…..then it would be either Asia or Gasper!
But there no doubt the one this guy after is...
"Iyan! Is he talking about me!?"
Gasper tries to protect his own body, but I slapped his head.
"Of course not."
This guy sure has become stronger. Until recently he would be screaming "Heeeeeee! I-Is he talking about meeeee!?" and maybe hide himself in a box. So there is a result in the Underworld training even for Gasper. By the way his training with overcoming garlic is still in progress. Sometimes he smells like garlic, and it's like his charm now.
…Anyway the Bishop that Diodora wants is Asia. The moment she heard him say "Bishop", she gripped onto my hand strongly. It feels like she's saying "I don't want to".
"The servant I am seeking from Rias-san is…the Bishop Asia Argento."
Diodora says it without hesitation and looked at Asia. His smile is a refreshing one. When seeing his smile I can't help but remember what Asia said what Kai tell her
[Personally. I don't like him, the smile he wear are disgrace for evil peoples. And also... Think it as gift for humor me when I live with you..]
That what Kai said, now I look into it I can tell something is strange with his smile! Like I thought, he was aiming for Asia! Not just that! Isn't it horrible that he's trying to get Asia through a trade!? She's the one he proposed to!
"The one I will be arranging is….."
Diodora tries to get out a catalogue, quite possibly the one with his servants on it, but Buchou says it without any pause.
"I thought so. But I'm sorry. I thought that I should say it before you show me that catalogue with your servants, so let me say it before hand. I have no intention to have a trade. It's not that your Bishop doesn't match up with mine, but I just simply don't want to lose Asia. She is my important servant devil."
Buchou said that face to face!
Uooooooooooooo! Buchouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I became emotional! The reason she didn't look at the catalogue is because she didn't want to show us that she will be comparing us!
"Is it because of her ability? Or is it because of her charm as an individual?"
But Diodora asks normally. T-This bastard! She said no, so just give up and leave! Buchou then gives the best answer to him.
"Both. I think of her as my little sister."
"-Buchou-san!"
Asia puts her hand to her mouth, and her green eyes get teary. I think she became really happy that Buchou said she is like her little sister.
"We live together. Having my affections deepen and not wanting to let go of her won't be a good reason? I think that is a good enough reason. I can't understand you for trying to get Asia through me with such a method, Diodora. Do you understand the meaning of a proposal?"
Buchou says that with a smile filled with intensity in it. She says it in the most appropriate way she can, but anyone can tell she is pissed!
Diodora still has a smile. That instead makes it creepy.
"-I understand. I will return for today, but I will not give up."
Diodora got up and walked towards us… towards Asia. He stood in front of Asia who seemed troubled. He got on his knee and tried to take her hand.
"Asia. I love you. It's okay, destiny won't betray us. Even if everything in this world rejects us, I will overcome them no matter what."
He said something I totally can't understand and tries to kiss Asia's hand.
SNAP
Something snapped inside me.
GRAB
Before I had realised it, I grabbed onto Diodora's shoulder and stopped him from kissing. Diodora then says it with a refreshing smile.
"Can you let go of me? I feel a bit sickened to be touched by a filthy dragon."
-! T-This bastard! He said it with a smile! So that is your true face! I was about to get pissed but…..
SLAP
Asia's slap smacked onto Diodora's cheek. Asia hugs onto me and says it with a shout.
"Please do not say that!"
…. I never thought Asia would have slapped him. But I feel relieved! Diodora's cheek became red because of the slap. Even so, he won't stop his smile. He can still keep his smile on, and that is so creepy that it scares me! Just like what Kai said somehow his smile is kind of disgusting!
"I see. I understand. –Then how about this. In the next match, I will defeat Hyoudou Issei the Sekiryuutei. Then I would like you, Asia, to answer my love….."
"There is no way I will lose to you."
I ended up saying it to his face. No, that's because he decided all this by himself. But this is okay. It's easy to understand. I just need to beat him. This guy that is!
"Sekiryuutei….Hyoudou Issei. In the next match, I will defeat you."
"Diodora Astaroth. I will show you the power of the dragon which you called filthy to the extreme!"
Diodora and I glare at each other. I won't hand Asia over to him! Then, Azazel-sensei's mobile phone rang. After a few exchanges, Sensei tells us.
"Rias. Diodora. Good timing. The date for the game has been decided. –It's in five days."
The day finished there, and Diodora went home. Don't come to the club-room ever again! With a new resolve, I got heated up for the upcoming game. The official information about the game which came from the Maou reached us several days later.
"I see... So you want my opinion on this?"
Currently I was on train with Jin-sensei again. After the meeting with that bastard Diodora done I go to visit sensei and do my training again. I do few kata with Honjo to make my body able to adapt to nature energy slowly and after that I do few movement with fist and leg, he teach me some Martial Art style called Gouken (Strong Fist), the style that purpose is to cause external damage and break bones
"Yes... You had see the video of Diodora rematch right?"
I asked while doing kick the giant log in front of me with bare leg and give punch to the log. I already give him the records of Diodora match against Agares before
"Hmmm.. Yes I had see it.. And I must admit it was really strange... There no possibility he able to do that unless he had put some seal on his body... Or... He use some medicine..."
"Medicine?"
"Yes... He must be bring something in battle and use it in middle of battle when no one see it.. Does it legal to bring something like that in middle of game?"
Eh? As far I know it was illegal to bring doping in game... Buchou also said it was forbidden
"Err no..."
Sensei expression hardened when hearing this and I paused do my kata and stare at him. His face is old but it still hold the sternness and scary!
"Ise, this guy is your next opponent right? Then be careful around him... Something is not right..."
Hearing that it caught my attention immediately as I turn to him with serious face
"Really?"
"Yes... But don't worry at his level even if he use his medicine you still able to beat him..."
Sensei grinned to me and I can't help but feel proud! Heh! I guess I'm just that good eh?!
"But don't let it go to your head! Remember do not underestimate your enemy, even Eagle can be killed by Cat if it let it guard down..."
"Yes sensei!"
I give salute to him! Uoooo I can't believe I got this stronger! It mean I one step closer to become high-class devil and...
Fufufu... Harem... You will be mine... Kukuku
Smack!
"Ouch!"
"Stop your pervert imagination and continue your kata! Who told you to stop?!"
"Hai sensei!"
As I hit the log in front of me I can't help but smile. If I get stronger it mean I also one closer step to Kai
Just wait for me Kai!
I let out roar and punch the thick log in front of me then continued by various kick
'Fufufu. It seem it not just his pervertedness that drive him to be stronger... Isn't that right Kai?' Jin thought with smile as he inhale the pipe and look to Ise
[You know, you surprising me again with your plan. Heh, if you really enemy I think I really need to watch my back very careful..]
"Thank you. I just do what I can.."
[With this we won't need worry about Diodora anymore... Your plan almost don't have any crack... I will prepare the material now..]
"Please do, I will go and take it later when I come to visit.."
[Sure... When you come?]
"Vali said he will visit Nii-san to speak about something. I will use that chance to go too..."
[Visit? What he want?]
"Don't worry he won't do anything rash, trust me. Vali won't kill Nii-san, after all Nii-san are his rival if he gone then Vali will become bored..."
[Hmmm if you say so then... I guess see you later eh?]
"Yes.. See you later, good night Azazel.."
[Night, Hyoudou Kai.]
Later with Ise
"High-class devil huh…."
The devils work late at night.
I just finish my training today and then have finished a single request and am pedaling my bicycle because I am on my way heading home. Thanks to the training in the Underworld, I am able to transport using a magic-circle. But my regular customers think that "I = Riding a bicycle", so when I showed up using the magic circle once, they felt let down. Because of that, I returned to my old ways of riding a bicycle. Even though I'm able to transport using a magic circle, it has no use. But I can't betray the expectations of my regular customers. And I think the number of requests will increase if I become a "bicycle devil". I also have to say that riding a bicycle is good training.
…..Training with guts has been put into my body strongly now…. And so I was thinking while pedaling. It's about the High-class devil. I experienced it in the Underworld, but noble devils tend to look down on other devils below them. Buchou and her parents won't do that. But just like the incident with Raiser and also with Diodora, basically the High-class devils from the old families don't have a good opinion towards the reincarnated devils and Low-class devils.
It's unfair! It's easy to think like that, but if I think carefully they are devils with a long history so they won't think well of those who suddenly show up and expand their authority. Those kinds of things are hated by the ones who have been present since long ago. I really don't understand them though. I'm a reincarnated-devil and a Low-class. So I desperately work hard to have myself acknowledged.
"Buha! Sports drinks taste good."
On my way back, I took a break in front of the vending machine. But I took a step back at the sudden presence! ~! Who is it!
The one who appears from the darkness is….a guy wearing rough clothes!
"It's been a while, Sekiryuutei."
"Bikou! Why are you here!"
Yes, it's the refreshing smiley faced Sun Wukong! This time he isn't wearing Chinese armour, and he appears dressed up like a flashy young person. I mean, why is this guy here!
"Well, I came to accompany my partner."
Bikou looks back.
-Don't tell me it's…!
And the one who appears is…
"It's been two months, Hyoudou Issei."
Vali appears wearing a white shirt!
"Vali!"
I put my alert to the maximum and made a stance on the spot!
Shit! Why are these guys here!?
"I hear that you got stronger from your last time, now I check your aura it seem true. It makes me happy."
I became a bit peeved at his smile. He sure does look down on me like always.
Wait! If he here then! Maybe Kai-
"Seeing your expression you must be hoping your brother here correct? No he busy with his weapon in HQ."
Don't read my mind!
"I see... Then what do you want? Are you want to continue from where we left off here?"
I try to activate my Boosted Gear, but he just laughs.
"You are quite aggressive today, Hyoudou Issei."
"For me, you are a big hindrance to my future plan."
"To become a High-class devil? –Even if you don't worry about it, I think you will become a High-class devil in a few years time."
To have been complimented by the Hakuryuukou sure does make it likely. In my case, I don't think it's that easy so I'm desperately trying to achieve higher.
But
"No..."
Vali and Bikou blinked when hearing my word
"Its to bring back Kai... He with you isn't he?
Hearing this both of them seem taken back before Bikou burst into laugh
"Hahaha! You funny guy Sekiryuutei! I admit that!"
He laughing! Damn him!
"I don't care what your opinion but mark my word! One day Kai will return to us!" I growled to him, Vali merely smirked before he sighed a bit
"I didn't come here to say that today."
"Then why did you come?"
"I hear that you will be having a Rating Game? And your opponent is the next heir of the House of Astaroth."
Where did he hear that from? Well this guy is the boss of a special team of terrorists. He might have many individual connections….
"What about it?"
"You should be careful."
While not losing my stance, I ask Vali with a doubt.
"…What do you mean?"
But Vali just shrugs his shoulders.
"You saw the recorded video, right? The match between the House of Astaroth and the princess from the Arch-Duke."
Just like Vali said, after Diodora returned we, the Gremory group, watched the recording of the match between Diodora and that sis from the House of Agares.
The match was Diodora's victory… But Diodora's power was overwhelming. Only he showed abnormal power during the game, and he defeated the Agares sis and her servants. Diodora's servants just supported him, and the King fought by himself and showed the power of an ikkitousen[2]. Diodora is a wizard-type who specialises in demonic-powers. He oppressed the Agares by showing a powerful demonic-power that surpasses Buchou.
And we all became suspicious after seeing that. We didn't pay attention to the game, but Diodora himself. That's because he suddenly got a power up. Before that, that Agares sis had the advantage. Was he hiding his true power till the last moment? Sensei saw the match live, but he had doubts because of the intense power up of Diodora compared to the data he was given before the match. Buchou also had the same opinion. "Diodora wasn't a devil who was that strong". Both of their opinions were the same. Diodora was plenty strong enough before the power up. He was a High-class devil who had demonic-powers a bit lower than Buchou's. But during the match, Diodora showed a power which made everyone get astonished.
Everyone was like "Can you really become that strong in such a short time?". Even Jin-sensei said it must be effect of some kind medicine but this match also became a battle between the King's at the middle and also since there no proof of that it seem they let it go. Do all of the Youth devils have the wrong idea that the opening and the mid game should be about strategies and the end-game should be a direct fight?
Each of the VIP's from each faction who were observing the matches are enjoying seeing new types of battles though….. Especially the battles between King's seem to get heated up.
"Well, it won't get through the skulls of those High-class devils if it's coming from my mouth. But I thought that it might be okay for you to know it."
….Should I say thank you or what? And it happened when I was having mixed feelings. A shadow appears. Vali and Bikou also didn't anticipate it so they also looked that way. Who is it!?
Nuu…..
The one who appears from the darkness is… A big build "daughter born from a man" who has an unbelievable amount of muscles and is wearing gothic-Lolita clothes….! And he's wearing cat-ears on his head like always!
-Mil-tan!?
My regular customer! Did he come to pass by!? But for him to come past me while I am doing my job as a devil, some unknown power must be behind this Mil-tan! The moment he appears, Vali looks at him twice. He probably can't believe what he is seeing.
"Nyo."
He raises his hand and greets me and comes up to me. I also raised my hand and greet him with a smile I forcefully made…..
"Judging from it's ears, is he a Nekomata? Even I couldn't sense him until he came closer. Is it senjutsu?"
Vali asks Bikou with a serious face. That's not it! I made a comment at Vali within my head.
"No, that is…. Isn't it some type of Troll? ….Cat-Troll?"
Bikou also bends his neck and is troubled at how to answer. I'm also troubled at how to answer, so don't ask me as well! But because of the Mil-tan's appearance, the tension in here is gone. It also feels like Vali softened his battle instinct as well. You are amazing Mil-tan!
"Well, who cares. Let's return Bikou."
After just saying that, Vali tries to leave with Bikou.
"Wait. You came to see me just for telling me that?"
Vali shows a laugh at my question.
"I was nearby, so I decided to warn my future Rival-dono."
"See ya Sekiryuutei. Hey, Vali. Let's go to the rumoured Noodle-shop on oura way~"
"Hm? You sure? Didn't Kai said he going to make Banana Cream Pie for dessert tonight?"
Eh? W-W-W-Whaaaat?!
"What?! Then forget the Noodle! Let's go back already!"
Now just wait a minute! They then turn and about to leave but I called them
"H-Hey! What you mean Kai make Banana Cream Pie?"
I can't help myself but to asking them about that. Vali and Bikou turn to me and Bikou grinned
"What? You didn't know? Your brother are Chef on our place! And good one too!"
I can't help but gobsmacked at that! I-I knew Kai cook are amazing! He even better than Mum! But that not what I mean!
To speak something that strange casually... O-Oi! Are you really bunch of terrorist? Your group certainly filled with strange man! A battle maniac monkey, a insane cat, a man with God complex, what next?! A fangirls witch?!
Oh you don't had any idea Ise
"How... How Kai doing in there?"
Hearing this both of them put unreadable expression. Vali look into me with narrowed eyes and speak
"He fine... Know this Hyoudou Issei, your brother didn't hate you. His plan just to make peace in this world however he not hate you. Didn't acknowledge you? Yes, but hate you? No... He respect power. Someone that strong.. As the now you, Kai will beat you only in few minutes, he are second strongest in my group.."
After saying that, Vali disappears into the darkness while taking Bikou with him. I become speechless when hearing what he said about Kai
Is it true? K-Kai didn't hate us but... He just respect someone who strong...
...
That mean... I just need to keep getting stronger until he acknowledge me! Grin appear on my face! Yosh! That mean all I need is more training! After that I will knock some sense to his head!
Geez! I don't get it! I can't understand what's going on! How can he show up in front of me with a refreshing face after causing so much trouble? And he appears as if he was taking a walk!
[Your rival is a weird one.]
Ddraig also says that. Ah, right! How can he show up in front of me with a refreshing face after causing so much trouble? And he appears as if he was taking a walk!
[Well, you are also quite a weirdo as well.]
What a rude guy.
[-But I'm having fun.]
What is it, all of a sudden?
[It feels like you speak to me the most out of all the possessors I ever had. You are the first host whom I think I have fun having conversations with.]
That's because I'm clueless and I need to ask many things, or else there are lots of thing I won't know about.
[…Maybe that was the good thing. You don't treat me like a tool, but as a single being.]
You aren't a being!? I'm rather shocked at that instead! Ddraig, you are a Sekiryuutei are you not? A-Am I wrong?
[Kukuku. You sure are a weird one.]
…..Hmm, I really don't understand Heavenly Dragons at all.
"Hey Vali, why you saying that to him?"
"... I sure you knew what Kai plan Bikou... You and Arthur must be know what Kai want to do in future..." Vali answered and Bikou immediately sighed and put sour face
"Yeah I knew, he plan to get killed by his brother one day. Mann I didn't think I can let him died like that after what we experience together..." Bikou muttered bitterly
"The reason Hyoudou Kai join us is to keep his brother save and 3 faction in peace. If his brother already strong enough then his time is over... As much I didn't like this but that was his goal... That what he want... And I had to respect it..." Vali repield calmly 'Though it really unfortunate... It shame he will dead before reach his full potential...'
"Yeah... I won't admit it but I grow fond to him... So do Kuroka and everyone, I wonder what Ophis will say.. She seem very fond to Kai... Man... I'm going to miss him..." Bikou sighed sadly with half opened eye
"Indeed... Ophis surely will be devastated... So do Le Fay after all both of them are the closest to Kai..." Vali added and Bikou nodded in agreement
'And I also going to miss him... Outlaws won't be same without him...' Vali thought bitterly, he maybe won't accept it outside but Vali himself also grow fond to the Sharingan wielder. He treat everyone equal, he didn't care what the background that person had and he didn't give any shit to it
Not to mention he got strange sense of humor, while everyone found it annoyed but Vali found it amusing and he must admit the boy really giving him good time
'Is what I going to do is right Albion? I never had experience something like this...' Vali asked his partner sadly
Albion for once is surprise seeing his host situation like this, it was rare for Vali to show his feeling
(... It depend. We, Dragon are being who respect honor and pride... If you asking my opinion, as Dragon then you doing the right thing to let Hyoudou Kai do what he want, after all it was his purpose to join us and his wish to be died as criminal in hand of Hero...) Albiom answered
'But if you look from human side?' Vali asked again
(Then you have to help him...) Albion answered once again with surprisingly amused and gentle tone like brother lecturing his sibling
Vali notice the tone Albion held but didn't make any comment he simply walk while thinking about his comrades
Meanwhile, earlier when Ise talking to Vali at Hyoudou Residence
"Kai-san..." Asia murmured with sad
Currently we found Asia and Koneko on Kai old room.
The room still same, nothing change except the school book, poster on the wall, picture of Kai is gone.
It always been like this. Asia come to visit Kai room sometime alone, in there she flashback all time she and Kai spent together. The first time they meet... The moment they share... The first kiss they share
Asia sit on Kai bed, holding Kai blanket like it was Kai himself
"Asia-sempai..." Koneko said sadly
"Why? Why he warn me about Diodora-san? What he want?" Asia asked sadly. She really afraid... Afraid of Diodora... She afraid she will be taken from Ise... Since Kai gone Ise was her protection... Her big brother... She afraid what if Ise also leaving her
"I don't know sempai..." Koneko said with bitter tone. Since she move to Hyoudou Residence, she also start to visit Kai room along with Asia or Ise. She only entering the room once when she visit him after the accident before meeting
Asia let out bitter chuckle and her eyes seem empty
"You know? When I lost myself after knew about God dead... I was devastated... I can lose myself and gone insane..." Asia said bitterly before tears slowly streaming down from her eyes "But Kai-san was there for me... He comfort me... He give me light when I loss.. He *sob* save me when I in danger... He are... *sob* The man I love..." She finished with choked tone and start to cry openly
Koneko put sad face seeing this, she notice Asia using "Are" instead "was" or "were" which mean she still love Kai until now. She alone also can't deny she still hoping Kai to back with them.. She miss her sempai... The warm aura from her sempai... The person who become her role model... The person who she admire... And comrade in stoic face...
Well the last part was bonus for herself... She still hoping to able to defeat Kai in stoic expression
Unfortunately this condition make both devils lower their guard very low and they didn't notice a black butterfly who watching the scene since the beginning from knot on the door
The butterfly slowly floating and approach them. It poofed surprising Koneko and Asia, they turn to see Kai standing with his eyes already on EMS
"Kai-sem-"
Koneko didn't able to finish her word since she immediately fall sleep when she look to Kai EMS
Asia who seeing this only can staring at shock. One moment she crying because Kai and now Kai stand in front of her!
Eventually the sound of 'thud' from Koneko snapped her and she about to scream until suddenly Kai move to her. She clamped her eyes shut to prepare go to unconscious... But imagine her surprise when she found a pair of arm engulf her in hug
"K-Kai-san?" Asia called in shock and slowly but sure she can hear he was sobbing
"I... *sob*... I'm...*sob*... I'm sorry...*sob*... I'm sorry..." Kai sobbed while hugging her
"Kai-san?" Asia was beyond shocked... What happen to Kai? 2 weeks ago he was cold and enemy.. And now he come and wail like kid
"I... I knew it was hard for you... But... This is for the best..."
Asia about to reply but suddenly Kai release her and pull her into soft kiss in mouth. Asia eyes widened but slowly she kiss him back
The kiss was simple, warm and full of love... They kissed for several second until Kai separated from her
"Kai-san?" Asia called weakly and Kai smile warmly
"I'm sorry for doing this Asia... But... It better if you move out from me..." Kai said, Asia about to reply but Kai cut her "Whatever happen I always love you... And you will always be the girl I love..." Kai smiled before kiss Asia in forehead
"Kai-san what you talk-" The moment Asia stare at Kai eyes, Kai cast genjutsu on her immediately make her eyes become blank
Kai sighed before he curse himself inwardly. He just let his emotion slip like that! He was not suppose to show himself!
"Damn... I getting soft..." He murmured before casting magic to Asia and remove the memory about meeting him and replace it with she fall sleep in his room. He then turn to Koneko who still sleeping and kneeling
Casting off the genjutsu Koneko slowly open her eyes but only to meet Kai EMS again and this time like Asia her eyes become blank but they awake
He sighed and began to look around his room, enjoying feeling the old time when he staying there
"Holy shit... Why Rias-nee didn't turn this house to Palace already?" He muttered in sarcasm when he see outside through the window. He notice his room still on same floor just like his house before upgraded. Sighing againg he rub his temple and glance to Koneko and Asia who had blank eyes
"Anyway... Time to move my plan..." Kai said calmly, he had limited time in here, right now Vali must be talking with Ise. He had to leave quickly
"Koneko... Asia... I want you to hear my command..." Kai said sternly with his EMS spinning
At Kuoh Academy Secret Basement
"I'm sorry I'm reporting to you by this communication system, Sirzechs. It's about the mysterious death of the heir of the Glaysa-Labolas and the increase of Diodora Astaroth's demonic powers…"
[So it was related like I thought. –The devils still have many troubles even now.]
"I still don't have any evidence, but if we were to believe in Vali's warning, then Diodora is… Looks like we need to do that plan which we discussed after all. …Man, I already feel down because of one of the guys with me had a certain "event"…"
[I heard about it. It seems like one of the leaders of the Grigori got married.]
"…..Man, everyone is rushing things. Not just that, but they were having "fun(sex)" with women from different factions behind my back… Shit! Am I the only single guy left!?"
[Fufufu. How about you settle down with someone now Azazel?]
"Don't wanna. I'm a man who lives by his interests. …There are plenty of w-women!"
[Yes. I will make it that way. –Anyway that plan. I trust you in it.]
"Yeah, leave it to me. Though we would be having them go through harsh things though….."
[You do realize Kai will really angry when he realize you use them as bait right?]
"Ah... Well about that he actually the one who suggest this plan..."
[You sure!? It really surprising seeing he always want to protect them...]
"Hahaha! That kid is genius! He already had plan to repel Old Satan faction plan! Even I also astonished by his plan, simple yet effective with this we didn't need to worry about their safety."
Earlier outside secret room
'Who build this basement here?! Does it had permission to build something like this?!' A female figure grumbled in her mind
The figure sighed as she exploring the room, however one room caught her attention as she see there light inside the room. The figure then lower her presence and slowly peek at the room before sweatdropped when see Azazel talk with Sirzechs through monitor
'This man...' The figure groaned in her mind and about to step in and call Azazel but she stopped when hear Sirzechs speak in strained voice
[I see... Azazel... About Kai... I still...]
"I knew Sirzechs... That boy was our biggest failure... Kai betrayal was our biggest mistake... If only I can go back to time..." Azazel said sadly. The figure paused and stiffened when hear Kai name
[Azazel... Whatever happen in future we had to keep Kai legacy save... We can't let his sacrifice go in vain...] Sirzechs spoke grimly and Azazel nodded
'Mistake? Sacrifice? Failure? What Sirzechs-sama mean? And what it connection with Kai?' The figure thought with confused
"You didn't need to tell me that. I will keep them save... If that all then good night..." Azazel said bitterly and Sirzechs nodded
[Good night, Azazel.] Sirzechs said before his face in the monitor become blur and he gone. Azazel let out deep sigh while slumped to his chair with frown on his face
The figure seeing this had enough and decide to leave before Azazel notice her. She leave with puzzle in her mind
Where am I?
Booom!
Music - Bleach - Treachery ON
What the?
Baaam! Booom! Kabaaam!
Who fighting?
I slowly open my eyes and see I was... Floating?
I rise my hand and look into my body... I'm floating? Yes and then
Baaaam!
What the?
I turn and see 2 figure fighting in ground... I can tell everything is mess! Heck! Forget mess! This is deserted land!
Everything is almost like war zone! Crater everywhere, fire and explosion everywhere
Baaam!
I focus my gaze to 2 figure who flying and fight in sky
No way! That's!
"Its not suppose to be this way!"
"It is suppose to be this way!"
Baaaam!
The red haired man that familiar...
Sirzechs Lucifer... And his condition is not good. His cloth is tattered and bruise covered his body
He fight against some crimson armored figure, the armor taking shape like dragon... And
It look like Sekiryuutei Scale-Mail! Except it has silver blade grow from numerous it part and it jewel instead green is blue ice!
"Ise-kun... Kai-kun wouldn't want you to do this! Please return to us!" Sirzechs pleaded and my eyes widened
That was Nii-san? What that form? I never seen his armor in that condition! What happen here? What is going on?!
"Return? To where?! To the place that scorn my brother?! After all he done?! AFTER ALL WHAT HE GIVE?!" Nii-san roared as he shoot blue fire to Sirzechs!
!? He...? He knew!
How?! Who?! Who tell him!? And what that blue fire?!
Sirzechs float and dodging the blue fire! When it hit ground the ground immediately become black as if it become lifeless and become frozen!
What the heck is that?!
"Ise-kun, we don't want this! We don't want to sacrifice Kai-kun! Please believe in us! We-"
"THEN WHERE THE PEACE THAT MY BROTHER WANT!? YOU GUYS KEEP FIGHTING EVEN AFTER KHAOS BRIGADE DESTROYED!" Nii-san roared with angry make me grimaced, his voice is like possessed man!
He... He become traitor! No, no, no! He not suppose to become like this! He should become Hero! Why he fighting Sirzechs?! He suppose to be with Rias and the other! What IN the name of HELL is HAPPENING?!
Sirzechs make a numerous black ball and offensive magic then shoot it to Nii-san but Nii-san extend his armored arm and another blue fire appear and freeze the attack that shoot to him!
Impossible! To freeze Sirzechs-sama attack! I had seen what Sirzechs-sama capable of from the video of Devil Civil War in Khaos Brigade! How did Nii-san able to freeze it?! Beside isn't Nii-san is Sekiryuutei? He suppose to be strong in fire, not ice!
"I expect more from the Crimson Satan that 10 times stronger than the original Lucifer..." Nii-san said in bored tone
"Ise-kun. Can't we talk about this?" Sirzechs-sama asked
"The moment you betraying me and my brother, there nothing left to talk..." Nii-san replied coldly before he move his hand and creating giant black sphere and shoot it like laser!
Sirzechs quickly formed giant magical defense and block it however it seem the attack are stronger than it look as I see he seem breathing very hard just to block it
"You guys are pathetic! If I knew it will be like this I will using Kai fake plan to make this world entering the path of pain!"
"No! Ise-kun! Please listen! What about Rias? Akeno? Asia and everyone!? Your friends!" Sirzechs pleaded and Nii-san stopped
For moment I think Nii-san going to reconsider his opinion since he seem having flashback about Rias-nee and everyone. But all the hope is shattered with the next word he spoke
"This world... All of this... This entire world... The world where nothing left in it but misery... I don't care about it anymore..." Nii-san voice is cold and it really scarying me. I never hear him spoke in such tone it as if he was different person... For the first time I really scared to him...
Sirzechs-sama close his eyes for moment before slowly he open it and it give me chill
"So be it then... Know that everyday I regret what happen to Kai-kun, Ise-kun..." Sirzechs spoke in firm tone before his body explode in black aura showing his large amount of magic before it formed into basketball size sphere
DOOOOOON!
I can tell the intense aura from it. Even I can't sense it using Senjutsu but the sphere is no joke
The black ball shoot to Nii-san who quickly extend both his hand and hold the black sphere. Slowly but sure Nii-san got pushing back and
Kaboooom!
His whole body engulfed in black sphere! I was about to yell and charge to him but
DOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN
An crimson mixed with blue aura radiate from smoke and it shaking the whole earth! I can tell even Sirzechs seem worry seeing the aura Nii-san radiated
[I, Shall rise…]
{It started.} {Looks like it had begin.}
From the smoke Nii-san appear and he unscathed. What this?! He chanting?! His voice is mixed with hundred person, from old man, old lady to children! Just like the malice intent that I heard using Senjutsu! Don't tell me...! He intent to use Juggernaut Drive!
[Am the Crimson Dragon of Chaos who destroy everything that stand in my path….]
{It was always like that, no matter what.} {It so wrong... Why it always be like that?}
"NOO! NII-SAN! DON'T!" I yelled as I flying to him
[Holding the "Unlimited" of hatreds and walking the path of "Nightmare"...]
{The one the World seeks….} {The one the World rejects...}
[I shall become the Crimson Dragon of Devourer…]
{It was always power.} {It was always hatred.}
I close! So close! Please! Make it!
Nii-san armour starts to change…. It became more sharp, and it grew large wings. From both hands and feet, claw-like things appeared. On the helm, many horn-like things appeared.
-That appearance is a dragon itself! Then it change! His armor slowly change to violet color! The spike on his body become blueish aura just like... Just like ice... What the hell is that?!
While thinking this I was close to Nii-san and I made it! Nii-san! I-!?
I... The moment my hand touch him I... Pass through him...
What the?
...
Nii-san...
{{{{{You guys choose destruction no matter how many times!}}}}}
And then, from all the jewels in its body, a mixed scream like voice of the old, the young, man, and woman is emitted!
" " " " " " " And I will devour every single living who stand in my way!" " " " " " "
[Chaos Juggernaut Activated!]
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON….
"NII-SAAAAAN!" I screamed as bright violet aura explode from his armor and engulf everything around him
Music off
Kai POV
I gasped as I awake and shot up from my bed
I panting heavily like just doing hell training. Slowly I brought my hand to my temple and close my eyes slightly to calm myself
From corner of my eyes I glance to Ophis who sleep on my side, she wearing black PJ with green chibi snake picture on many part of her PJ. I smiled softly seeing her and wrap blanket to her before go out to take some drink
While walking down I see it was 2.30 morning... I take the cold water from fridge and gulp it before let out satisifed groan
I sighed aloud and rub my temple slightly. That dream before... What it mean?
"Ise-kun... Kai-kun wouldn't want you to do this! Please return to us!" Sirzechs pleaded
"Return? To where?! To the place that scorn my brother?! After all he done?! AFTER ALL WHAT HE GIVE?!" Ise roared as he shoot blue fire to Sirzechs
The dream flashed once again in my mind as I try to understand what it mean
Is it vision? Or only rafflesia flower of dream?
"You trying to convince yourself boy... Do you really believe what you did? Look what happen to Sasuke after he knew the truth. He hunger for revenge and blame it to Konoha... Imagine what if your brother the Sekiryuutei knew? He will go Juggernaut Drive to Sirzechs.." Madara laughed
And unconsciously Madara world flashed in my mind as I recall our conversation...
"THEN WHERE THE PEACE THAT MY BROTHER WANT!? YOU GUYS KEEP FIGHTING EVEN AFTER KHAOS BRIGADE DESTROYED!" Ise roared in voice that like possessed
"Listen well boy. The peace you have now won't last long. The three faction united because there Khaos Brigade as threat. After the bad guy gone then what? It just matter of time before they fight each other again.. Don't deny it deep inside you knew the truth.."
Every time I try to remember that dream unconsciously Madara word also appear in my mind. I can't help but tightened my grip on the glass and it cracked little.
What it mean? What that dream mean?
"This world... All of this... This entire world... The world where nothing left in it but misery... I don't care about it anymore..." Ise voice is cold and give chill to everyone spine
"Think it boy. There many dimension in this whole world. That mean there must be dimension where your brother live without you! He become the success PROTAGONIST in there! And also there must be dimension where he been killed and beside that Gremory girl who revive him, it was a evil person and manipulate him to destroy the whole world! Is that what protagonist do?" Madara asked Kai sternly
I walked from kitchen to the door and went to backyard for moment. I rise my head and see it was full moon and the sky very clear
Nii-san... Is... Is that what going to happen in future?
But why? What happen to you? How could such thing happen?
"This world is full of things that don't go as you wish. The longer you live the more you realise reality is just made of pain, suffering, and emptiness..." Madara said sternly
Nii-san... I... Is this how Itachi feel when he found out about Sasuke betrayal? Why?
War... The three factions fight again after Khaos Brigade defeated... Did I do the right thing?
"Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war… Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something only humans can do. They're two sides of the same coin. To protect something… another must be sacrificed. That is, other than that of, say a dream world." Madara spoke stoically
What is my purpose in this world? Why I here actually?
...
I have no goal in this world except to help Ise in his path but... If the dream that I see was what going to happen in future then...
I think I just destroy this world fate...
...
Damn it!
"Kai..."
I almost jump in surprise but being stoic everyday make me able to hold that. I still didn't bother to turn and keep my gaze to the sky
"Vali... (A/N: I bet I surprise you in here! Ha! Take that xD) What do you want in such late?" I asked without turn around
"Diodora and your brother match will be tomorrow..." Vali said as he stand at my side
"I know..." I replied calmly and he nodded
"The Old Satan faction seem going all out tomorrow, all the leader also went to there... What do you think percentage of their success?" Vali asked me
"Zero... That was stupid of them to attacking now... After Diodora use Ophis snake on Agares they should stop their plan immediately and wait for later... But well I don't care what happen to them, especially Diodora..." I spat the last word venomously and Vali narrowed his eyes
"You really hate him do you?"
"To be blunt. Torturing him 1 day 1 night won't satisfy my anger to him..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So you will go to the fight too tomorrow right?"
"Yes, I'm Ojou-chan bodyguard. She said she will go to see the infiltration tomorrow, I will stay at her side..."
"I see..."
We then fall into another silence, and to be honest I don't mind. After all I going out to enjoy the sound of wind and nature around me
"I know you plan to kill yourself Kai..."
My eyes widened slightly when hearing that I turn to Vali who walking back to the house
"But if you think it will be fine.. Then think what going to happen to Le Fay, Kuroka and Ophis... I pretty sure Ophis will go to Hades and demand your soul if she have to..."
After saying that he enter the house, leaving me outiside. Is sighed before turn my gaze to the sky again and had unreadable face
"Gugh! I didn't think it will be difficult!" Madara groaned inside his cage. His hand is burn pretty bad, and he panting heavily
"Oh well... But at least the Seed I plant start to grow into branch... I just need to push him once more..." Madara smirked as his Rinnegan glowing before he scowl 'But still... His bond with this Outlaws group will hinder my plan... Especially that Dragon God... Kai seem really fond of her.. Other than his brother, Sona, Asia and Rias... Ophis is another one he hold in high regard...'
Madara sit back on his bed with burned hand. Oh yes he the one who caused that Nightmare. Kai actually can block it however Kai didn't know when he give Madara bed, he give Madara a little hole so he can influence him... That's why he can give nightmare
But he can't give him nightmare everyday because Madara knew Kai will get suspicious and in result he will got totally caged by Kai and that would not pleasant
Shooking his head Madara smirked again
"Regardless... Human always greed.. When the chance come, I will take over this body... Then using Shinju chakra I will collect all the Gods in this world to rise another Primordial God in order to defeat Great Red..." He said with wicked smirk that he rarely show
Oh crap! Oh crap! Kai made a big mistake by doing kindness to Madara! What going to happen?! Waaa! Kai in problem!
