Clouds were gathering over the new battle that was now taking place outside E-rantel. The half asleep Frisk slowly walked to the black knight with the intent to kill. The knight prepared himself, this would be the first most challenging fight since arriving in this new world. "Come now then Frisk, show me what you can do!" This was the first time he was actually excited to fight, a real obstacle now stands in his way for world domination.
The human stopped their slow charge and tilted their head. "You ask for death? Since you made Aura sad I'll grant you that wish, but it'll be slow and painful!" They seemed to blur out of even his sight when they went full speed against the knight.
Now even if he could barly make out the human form, he did not have the agility to dodge it. "I need assistance, slow them down!" He felt a little embarrassed to ask for help, but the human was more swift then he had expected them to be.
Evileye aim her hands at the blury human of death. "Crystal wall!" A green rune flashed in front of her hands before the same type flash in front of the knight. A large barrier made out of crystals rose from the dirt in front of the knight. A large thud resonated with the area, the human ran right into the wall of gems. Then there was silence, was it already over? "That's it? What a dis-!?" The red cloaked vampire fell over as the human knocked them out from behind with a neck chop.
Frisk shook their hand as if they dirtied their hand by the chop. "You mistake me for an enemy, young bloodling." They somberly muttered before kicking her across the grassy field. "Now stay out of this..." The human then looked at Kage, who look unsure of what to do next. "You as well."
Kage pulled out his magical dagger, but now unsure if he could even scratch them. "I knew you weren't weak, but this is beyond what I had expected." With a carefree laugh he ran to the sleeping human. "Secret martial art: Demon decapitation!" He thrusted at dagger at the human's neck, if it'd killed them then he would morn for the loss. He then felt what Evileye did, dizziness and darkness of unwanted sleep.
"I warned yo-!" Frisk then held onto their neck as it beld slightly. They were surprised that he managed to hit them even if it was only a nick on their flesh. "Impressive, an afterimage strike. Penance for me being cocky I supposed." With a growl they looked at Momonga with a glare that would have shakened gods. "You will pay for misleading them!"
Aura aimed the empty gun at her love, they didn't even react to the weapon threat. "Frisk, this isn't like you. It was my fault that Nabe attacked me, not Momonga's." It was the truth, but she suspected that the human already knew that. "Please just stop fighting, please."
Frisk looked back at the elf and smile. "Not until I know you're safe and sound. That requires his death as well as the lady's." Aura wanted to cry, the human was asleep yet they wanted her to be alright despite a bad approach to the problem. "I will never rest until then."
Momonga laughed at the human's promise of death upon his head. "You sound so sure I wasn't going all out. I'll just show you how wrong you really are!" Inside the helmet of the black knight, the undead overlord wasn't so sure he could defeat them. In his current state he can't do magic or even do martial arts, he was basically restricted inside a black armored coffin. Still, he had to keep up impressions if they were being watched by a third party.
(Cue music: Dance with the devil- by D-devils)
The half-asleep human opened a portal and pulled out the cloudy glasses. "Then I shall do the same!" After they equipped the glasses they charged at the black knight with blinding speed. They stopped in front of the knight giving him only a fraction of a second to react. With a swift swing the human grazed the armor of a very lucky Momonga. But the knight was giving little repite as the human followed up with a side kick to his chestplate, sending him flying across the field. "I thought you were legendary the both of you." They commented on a winded Momonga and blacked out Evileye. "How wrong I was..."
Meanwhile in the tomb, Albedo was getting more and more infuriated by the battle. "How dare they touch my lord Ainz! If he wasn't merciful he would break out of that armor and murder them with his mighty wisdom!" As the succubus raged on the ice insectoid let go of the bug maid, too bothered with the yelling to care anymore about a fruitless task. "They would be begging for the mercy of death by then!"
Cocytus stood up as he had enough of the yelling. "Albedo, a floor guardian to this grand tomb shouldn't be so whiney!" He walked over and peered into the orb and saw his lord fighting the demonic human. "So, this is the human causing everyone so much trouble." He narrowed his eyes on the young combatant and sighed at the honest end to this fight. "As a warrior Ainz has no chance at winning this fight."
Albedo glared at the frosted bug with immense hate. "Explain yourself before I beat you to a pulp for such treasonous words!" Instead of talking he pointed to the two spots where Frisk struck. "What? No that can't be right!" The obvious slash and large dent in the chest plate as well as the rusted marks made the succubus do a once over. "The armor is damaged and deteriorating? That can't be right, no one could make such a mark besides the other supreme beings!"
Cocytus noticed her disbelief and fully realized why Demi-urge has stressed secrecy in the missions recently. "The human is powerful, possibly the same as lord Touch-me. He was the only other being that Ainz could not win against in a real fight. But he was a holy paladin so why is Ainz losing to a dark demon such as this?" It was real puzzling and in the insctoid's warrior mind, he was being fired up and wanted to fight Frisk for himself. "Maybe Ainz will let me test their real combat prowess in the field."
Albedo smiled at the thought of Cocytus making the human bleed like the maggot they are. "If our lord allows it and I hope he does." She soon frowned as it looked like the human was about to begin another onslaught. "Because personally I want a go at the brat as well."
Aura winced as her love went after the knght again with a figurative gleam of mirder in their eyes. Her hands were shaking on the gun's handle as the barrel flickered with her confused desire. She wanted Frisk to wake up, or better yet for herself to wake up and hope this was all just a nightmare...a nightmare. The reminder of a terror that seemed so long ago trailed across her mind. Was it leading up to this in it's own absrtact way as dreams and nightmares tend to do.
As Aura thought upon her delimema of what to do she heard Momonga grunt due to being roundhouse kicked through the crystal wall. Momonga stood up despite the heavy rubble of the precious minerals burying his body. He looked up and stared face to face with the sleeping human and felt exhilerated. It really was a fight now, an underdog fight for him even. He blocked the human's next blow using his greatswords, which cracked under such immense pressure. "You are definitly my number one rival, Frisk!" It was a claim that he hoped the human would keep, for he will remember their name for what it's worth. "Such a shame our first fight is under conditions such as this! No effect cause by this or even a dramatic set up, just a plain street fight out of the blue!"
Frisk scoffed at his battle hungry attitude that had risen up. "You are definitly a threat to Aura's safety and hapiness." They charged again, but was suprsingly countered by the knight via sword backhand to their face. "What!?" The force of the sudden blow sent them flying a few meters before they landed back onto their feet. "For a knight that barely knows how to fight that was an impressive counter."
Momonga chuckled because that was just a lucky guess and movement on his part. Then something occured to him on what they had just said. "So, you can tell that I'm not that much of a melee fighter." There was something about this human that rubs him the wrong way because they are definitely not from Yggdrasil. "So why do you believe I'm a threat to your dark elf friend?"
The half asleep human tilted their head as if to ask the same question. "No idea, just a very strong feeling. Enough talk, I will end this now!"
Aura for the first time around the human felt slight dread as they opened the inventory portal. Prehaps it was instinct or her lack of impulse control, but she fired at the human's arm. Since her desire to harm them was so weak it only made the human flinch in shock. "Frisk, I don't think you want to do that." Whatever her love was about to do, it would be something that they would all regret in the end.
Momonga saw his chance for a final blow as the human was distracted by the shot. He charged and used his full power for the twin swings of his swords. To his surprise the human jumped and twirled, which made them squeeze between the tiny gap of his sword swings. "Impossible!" He was wide open and was still in recoil from the weight of his all out attack. When the human did their final twirl they used all the momentium in their heel to kick the helmet's jawline. The force of the kinetic impact caused the other end of the helmet to blow out in pieces.
Momonga fell over as another result of the counter strike to the helmet's jaw. Speaking of the helmet, it's lower section was torn apart and almost showed his jawbone. "You're predictible just like Undyne, too bad she's a puddle now." Aura realized that Frisk wasn't asleep, but it was the double itself that was possesing them. For some reason they're not insane, but psychotically mad to the point where it was impossible to tell if they were actually asleep. "Now then knight, say good night!"
(Music ends)
Just as the subconscious double stepped onto the knight's chestplace with a knife raised to the cloudy sky, they felt the cold steel of a gun barrel touch the nip of their neck. "I know it's you, you psycho!" The double didn't even look back at Aura, like she was not apart of their world. "Give me back my Frisk, now!" The barrel was filled with a vengeful desire to see Frisk, no matter what the cost.
This time the double looked back at her, then at the fallen knight below their feet. "I've proven who is the better one here, such arrogance that monsters and humans have." They turned their head to face the others who had fallen. "Not you though, you weren't entitled or wanted more then what you really deserved. No wonder Frisk loves you down to the point where it even affects my psyche." Aura dropped her gun from the shock of what they had just said to her. "I mean look at me, I didn't even realize that I was fighting this knight of darkness until just a moment ago."
Although the double had a distorted voice of Frisk it was still Frisk's and to hear that declaration of love was a nice thing. "Still, bring Frisk back!" She quickly grabbed the empty gun and pointed it at the double. It was more of a formality as she did not have it in her heart to even activate the gun after what she had just heard.
The double looked at Momonga with a heavy glare. "You almost made me expose my new trick, but I'll let you go this time." They gave one last insane smile before falling backwards into the arms of Aura and went back to sleep.
Aura held out a free hand out to help Ainz up and his accepted. "You have a little bone there, Ainz." She pointed out the intense damage his helmet had suffered and it looked like scrap metal at this point. "I think you need to go back to your tomb, I have this covered." Ainz nodded and went over to a beatened up Nabe and picked her up.
Though the skeleton lord said nothing, the stare spoke a thousand words to the elf. The next minute he was gone with the battle maid of Nazarick. Aura then fell on her knees in exhaustion from the tense battle. She heard about fifty footsteps approching her position, but she didn't care at the moment. She fell down with Frisk in her arms and it felt both serene and joyful, a nice feeling.
Cocytus was restraining Albedo from destroying the orb again. He did not blame her as his lord was beaten as he had expected. If his lord was in his true form then he would have annihilated the human without a thought. "Albedo calm down, think happy thoughts!" Of course most thoughts about the possible battles to come were interupted by the whiney Albedo.
"No! No I will not let that function for showing such a foul image of my beautiful lord!" She was not having it as she failed to escape Cocytus' freezing arms. "That human will pay!"
"Calm down Albedo!" The lord himself yelled as he carries an unstable Nabe in his arms. "Rage is useless if not controlled, learn to temper it as I have." He layed the battle maiden down next to the door and switched to his regal mage robes. "It seems physical power will not aid us alone in the coming battles ahead and if we do not plan, everything we have built up will fall apart." He passed by a lustful Albedo and the stotic Cocytus before he sat on his throne. "As such we need Shalltear, where is she?"
"She is still traveling here, but any other information regarding it is sealed by her lips." The ice warrior informed which earned him a nod by the skeleon. "If I may speak about another thing, lord Ainz?" The lord motioned him to continue while the skeleton pulled out a thick parchment. "I wish to fight the human and prove that monsters are superior, though it is only a small request."
Ainz took out a quill and dabbed it in a nearby inkwell. "Don't worry Cocytus you will have your chance soon enough. Because as soon as Shalltear arrives I shall enact phase one of Nazarick's world domination." He then furled up the parchment and handed it to Cocytus. "Give this to Demi-urge and prepare." Cocytus looked at the parchment with a curious gaze of his blue eyes. "You may read it, but don't act without my permission."
Cocytus nodded and walked to the throne room door. "What about the maid my lord?" Ainz mearly waved and Cocytus took the maid in response.
Albedo gazed with lust at her lord, such wisdom and battle strategy and it made her want him more. "Ainz..." She cooed as she approched the throne and kneeled before her lord, her beautiful lord Ainz. "Do you want some comfort from...tonight?"
Ainz sighed and face palmed at the succubus's display. "No Albedo, I had enough action for one night..." Ainz didn't realize how tired he was from fighting the human, mages weren't known for their stamina so reverting from perfect warrior must have gave him immense exhaustion. "I need...a..." The red of his eyes faded as he went into a sort of standby mode, as he did not need sleep like humans did. It was like floating in a small space while being aware of your surrounding to a limited extent. It also made a nice space for a good quote, room for thought, which is what this place was for him. "Now, what to plan incase of the chance of failure from the human?"
Zaryusu looked out of his tavern room's window and his thoughts drifted. "I wonder how Rororo is doing with my brother?" He let out a small chuckle for none, but the night to hear. "Heh, he always hated the pets I would bring home." He tapped at the window as clouds start to gather around the town. "That was the best reaction I've gained from him, that shocked look on his face." He didn't need to realize he was home sick, he always was since the day of his branding. "Gods above, I hate backwater customs!" He hissed at the thought of the elder concil.
He then noticed something in the corner of his right reptilian eye, a squadron of soldiers marching at a quick and quiet pace. It made him curious enough to take his frost pain and walk out his tavern room door. He looked to the right, opposite of the staircase was Aldon's room. After the stare of the tavern owner's room door he walked down the stairs and out the tavern door.
He sniffed the air which was clean as a human city could be, but no smoke from torchlight. "A bit dark for a patrol, what's going on?" He walked swiftly across the road to where he saw the patrol. Again out of the corner of his eye he saw a squad whom ran to the city gates. "Strange, should I..." He didn't know know what to do anymore, this was new to him. "Follow them." It was a gut feeling, but he was homesick and his brother's advice usually sends him somewhere interesting."
After some quick stalking of the guards he found the ex-adventurer and captian of the guard, Xaver, arguing with his guards. "Look, are they okay?" His voice was in panic and despair. "Lord knows what would happen if that flower knew what had happened outside our walls!"
The guard on Xaver's left tried to calm him down a notch. "Geez captain they're alright, just bruised and resting in the castle barracks just like you ordered." That didn't seem to calm the guard captain down. "It is strange though, isn't it?"
The guard on the right nodded to his fellow guardsman. "That Evileye and that Kage fellow were knocked out as well?" There was a stern silence as if what is said next would determine their fate. "But, who or what caused it?"
Xaver started to rub his hair in stress. "First that damn flower then this, what the hell is going on!?"
Zaryusu narrowed his eyes at the three, hidden from their veiw. "Exactly what I want to figure out."
Hello all you beautiful people, did you miss me!? Yeah I did too...Listen the lack of reveiws gets me pretty worried now , because your comments gives me advice and helps me on my way to the new chapters.
But, anyways and away from that bit of insecurity, did you like it? Aura being told by the double that Frisk loves her, but will that make a difference for her worry of rejection?
