LAST CHAPTER
" FUCK OFF IT'S MY PRECIOUS " Lucy screamed as she bolted from the table with youth Zaleem didn't know she had , She was followed by Ava and Sasha as they ran around the estate , All the while Zaleem sat chuckling in his chair .
" Now this ... This is nice " Zaleem said as he sat .
CURRENT CHAPTER
After Finishing their meal , Everyone went back to their respective duties , Cleo had gone back to the youkai faction to monitor their alliance .
Sasha , Ava and Lucinda had gone back to the human world to the residence while kanae and tsuba went back to Kuoh .
Mathews himself went back to the foundry to overlook everything .
Vali team as well as Issei were working with Apophis to further themselves .
Ophis herself was currently sleeping in Zaleems bedroom While the three fallen were wandering the castle .
WITH ZALEEM
" Assimilate " Zaleem mumbled as he worked on his latest spell , He had his left palm on the floor with his five fingers spread wide , Black kanji being imprinted onto the ground as black tendrils of energy burned and marked the floor working to finish the spells formula.
Zaleem watched as he completed his spell , The kanji spreading in five directions before it started morphing and creating a triple spiral pattern of kanji .
With the spells formula complete , He stood from his seated position and walked over to a small bonsai tree located on his study desk .
Looking at it before smiling to himself , Zaleem reached out as the Kanji formed on the palm of his hand before he placed his palm against the small tree .
" Assimilate " Zaleem uttered as he watched the tree shift as it started to disappear infont of his eyes , Every part of the tree being sucked into the palm of his hand dissecting and incorporating what made up the small tree , Finally finishing his goal of spontaneous evolution .
With the Bonsai tree gone Zaleem cast his attention to himself ' Did I just make myself part plant ..... ' He thought as he opened his palm and faced it to himself .
" Construction " Zaleem uttered another one of his spells as Kanji yet again formed , But this time all over his left arm , Looking as if it were moving to the palm of his hand as he focussed on the aspects that made up the small tree .
Watching with satisfaction as as his skin morphed and split as small roots sprung from his palm before taking the shape he had imagined in his head , Soon after leaves quickly grew from the newly formed bonsai in the palm of his hand which was followed by it fully maturing .
Now having full control of his newfound ' construct ' Zaleem concentrated as the small plant in his palm shifted once more , Specific roots on the tree enlarging before completely overtaking the tree as three large roots sat in his palm .
Facing his palm to the wall , Zaleem reared his arm back before shooting it forward , The roots becoming animated as they skewered the wall before receding back into his palm .
' Now lets see ' Zaleem thought to himself as the roots dissapeared from his hand as he closed his fist .
He walked over to his work bench before long tendril made its way from Zaleems pointer finger and onto the table .
' Interesting ' Zakeem thought as he changed the tendrils properties , He watched it shift and elongate as the tendril moved from his left pointer finger to the centre of his palm once more .
He watched as the construct became thinner and thinner as its other end connected with his right palm , Effectively bridging his arms together .
The construct took a more refined shape , Twisting and turning and splitting itself to come to the rough form of a twisted chain .
Standing once more Zaleem spread his arms out wide as the chain erupted and became longer and longer , Taking cells from his body to fuel it's length . Each and every cell being replaced by his infinite regeneration .
Twitching his fingers , The chain moved according to his thoughts exactly as he wished , Wrapping and constricting anything he wished .
Sighing to himself , Zaleem walked back to his study as the chain retracted into his body as it was converted into extra cells inside his body , Not needing to feed the ever expanding and condensing reservoir of energy inside his very being .
Looking over his notes of his studies , He looked over everything as his mind went into overdrive , recording amd noting everything inside so he would never forget and be able to rewrite them if needed .
After finishing Zaleem picked up the notes as they caught fire in his hands , destroying all notes containing his research , not wanting his work to fall into the wrong hands .
Reaching back over to the small pot , Zaleem constructed another bonsai tree from his hand before animating it and making it move into the pot . The small root working as legs as it dug itself back into the soil .
With a small smile , Zaleem left his study and went to his throne room as he thought about his recent success in his spells . The small bonsai acting like a tree while having no orders from its creator .
Taking his place on his throne , Zaleem clasped his hands together as he closed his eyes .
" Zaleem " He raised his head as he caught the eyes of his lover .
WITH VALI TEAM AND ISSEI , APOPHIS
Issei sweated heavily as he tried to maintain the orb of energy in his hand .
" You're doing well , All of you , With the constant use of energy your reserves of energy will expand . Doing this exercise regularly is a good method to increase that rate " Apophis explained as he held an orb if his own .
" This ... Is so ... Hard " Issei drawled out as his orb destabilized and ruptured before dissapearing .
" That is because of your almost non-existant magical prowess resulting from your horrible control and magical reserves , However that is why I am here , to rectify that situation " Apophis stated which hurt and reasured Issei at the same time .
" Its because he is so week , I still wander why he got his sacred gear " Vali mumbled , Having started a proper rivalry with the other heavenly dragon weilder .
" What was that you bastard " Issei yelled back at the white haired teen .
" Shut it useless " Vali replied nonchalantly .
" Say it to my face you freak " Issei replied , However there was no animosity between them as it was just a good natured banter between comrades .
" You're both weak now shut it , I will not fail my king " Apophis stated which shut the two up immediately which caused the other members of Vali team to snicker at their expense as they too continued the exercise .
Issei once again performed the exercise , Having his reserves refilled by the environment around him .
HELL
Serafall as well as ajuka beelzebub and falbium asmodeus sat amongst the 32 pillars of hell , Having convened to relay the new laws apon their kind .
" I must say , I speak for all of us when I say we were surprised by this emergency summoning " Said the current head of the Agares clan .
" This ... is for our survival " Falbium said to himself as he knew what had to be done .
" Indeed " Ajuka said beside his long time friend .
" We must ask , What are we all gathered here for " asked gragg forneus .
Zeoticus and venelana watched on silently from their podium as they too were interested .
" For the first and least important matter , Zeoticus Gremory , I feel it is necessary that you know that your eldest son has been severely wounded in battle and i currently in recovery " Serafall stated with a withdrawn look on her face .
" WHAT , WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BOY " Venelana yelled out as she stood to her feet .
" I must second that , Afterall we all know how strong sirzechs is , Tell us , How and who defeated him " Lord sitri asked in a more collected tone .
" If you must know , Sirzechs was defeated in battle by his younger sibling , Zaleem gremory , It was an arranged battle with accepted deals by both sides . Sirzechs went into battle with his peerage and lost against Zaleem " Serafall announced with a sad tone .
" I DEMAND PROOF " Venelana shouted as her husband was forced to sit down with a heavy conciounce .
" Its true " Ajuka stated as he took to his feet " At this point in time , Sirzechs Lucifer is in critical condition and in a coma , He has twenty four hour care , It is unknown whether he will survive "
" HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN " Venelana yelled out as she grew hysterical .
" It was a challenge by Sirzechs himself , We had no right to interfere " Serafall explained .
" And what was the cost of winning " Lord sitri asked , Acknowledging that the satans were dodging around the subject .
" For Sirzechs, He wished for Zaleem to rejoin the Gremory clan " Serafall said as Zeoticus silently scoffed .
" And of Zaleem's " Sitri asked .
" Zaleem decreed that order must change within the devils , The current heads are to stand down from their positions , They must be tested as well as their children , If they fail then the next in line shall also be tested until someone suitable is found , Lowclass devils will be given the chance to lead clans of their own and join if they are proven worthy , This is his order " Serafall stated calmly as chaos all but broke out in the meeting room .
" THIS IS PROPOSTEROUS " Zeoticus shouted out as he once again stood .
" WHO IS THIS BOY TO REQUEST SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS , HE CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE REMOVED " yelled out another pillar head as he made his thoughts known .
Serafall watched as many of the households made their opinions known , Her face becoming more and more downtrotten as reality started to hit her .
" Serafall , What is your opinion , If it was possible , Could we stop this " Lord sitri asked as he studdied his daughters reaction .
" If it was just his military , I'm sure that we could win , As the majority of them are human " Serafall notified .
" And what of the rest " Lord sitri pressed on .
" From what we know of his underlings , They are incredibly strong in their own rights , The man known as Apophis was able to take on half of Sirzechs peerage without loss " Serafall said as the pillers payed more and more attemtion .
" And what of the brat zaleem , If thats all he has then we must be able to win " Venelana asked as Serafall shook her head .
" He is the biggest issue , I must let you know , He is incredibly intelligent , Possibly even more so than ajuka , His strength is ... unfathomable if nit downright terrifying " Serafall said as she had a lost look on her face .
" Explain my dear " Sitri asked as he leant his arms on his table .
" At first he fought sirzechs and his peerage on equal terms , After sirzechs dealt a seemingly fatal blow , Zaleem stated he would let us see a fraction of his true strength after seemingly being unharmed after having no heart " Serafall said as the clans started to understand .
" after releasing some kind of seal , He became almost impervious to all forms of damage , he instantly healed from any injury dealt to him " Serafall kept explaining .
" So his defence is high , We could just overpower it with our own power " one of the clan heads said earning nods from other members .
" No , What is even greater than his defence is his offensive capabilities , When he stopped toying with his elder brother , He unleashed the attack that has indesposed sirzechs " Serafall said as her voice grew more quiet .
" I do not know what else his capabilities are , But I am sure when I say this , If he along with his army were to attack , We would be dealt a quick death " Serafall stated as the room once again went into chaos .
" We must expect a rebelion from some of the houses , Hopefully he'll understand " Ajuka stated as he whispered into Serafall's ear .
" We can only hope " Serafall said as she took her seat once again .
" These tests are to take place immediately , We have four days to conduct them , In two hours , The clan heads are to bring their children to conduct the first set of tests " Ajuka announced as he stood and spoke .
WITH ZALEEM
HELL
Zaleem stepped through the rift as he looked towards the floor , Having connected himself to the ceiling to watch the proceedings .
Serafall stood with both ajuka and falbium infront of what remained of the 72 pillar families .
Zaleem watched as all families stood in their own groups , Some glancing at eachother and whispering .
" Will the current heir to the agares clan step forward " Ajuka asked as he came out of a room to the side .
A girl with long blonde hair and pink eyes soon stood up , She wore glasses as well as a noble looking attire which had the agares clan symbol attached to her clothing.
" Name " Ajuka said as he held out a clip board and pen .
" Seekvaira " The teen responded as she came to stand infront of Ajuka .
" Very well , come this way , I still be conducting your test " Ajuka stated as they walked away from the gathered devils .
Serafall was next to come through the door way as she herself carried a clipboard .
Zaleem watched this process continue for each of the remaining houses , nearly half of the devil houses had to replace their heirs .
But what came as a surprise to Zaleem was when he hear that Riser phenex was to continue as the heir to his house .
' It appears his defeat has humbled the boy ' Zaleem thought as he watched Riser converse in a civilised mannor ' Good , Id hate to have to reform the boy myself '
Zaleem watched as sairaorg left the chambers of his test with a satisfied smile However Zaleems own smile lessened when he saw the look on Sairaorg's father's face ' That man could eventually be trouble '
A commotion drew Zaleems attention from his cousin to his sister as he watched her slam through the doors followed by Serafall.
" WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS NONSENSE " Venelana yelled out as Rias ran to her and started crying .
" It has been decided that Rias is unable to lead the house of gremory at this time , And until she either changes her ways or her brother accepts the title of heir then the title falls to millicas Gremory who shows promise " Serafall stated as Venelana started to shake with rage .
" You don't think ... that my daughter ... is an unworthy heir " Venelana asked as her hair covered her eyes .
" Rias Gremory has failed crucial parts of the test , As such she has been marked ad undesirable " Serafall said with an even tone .
Without warning , Venelana swung round and pointed an accusing finger at her servant , Grayfia .
" YOU WANTED THIS THE WHOLE TIME YOU WENCH , IF YOU HADN'T OF HAD THAT BASTERD SON OF YOURS THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED " Venelana began spewing out as the power of destruction bled from her body .
" Restrain her and bring forward Millicas Gremory at once " Serafall instructed as the guards rendered Venelana unconcious and started transporting her to the gremory estate .
Zeoticus stayed silent in his fuming rage as he stormed out of the building .
" It will be done " Grayfia responded as she went to collect her child .
' Well that wasn't as exciting as i wished it to be but it'll do ' Zaleem thought as he took a seated position on the bottom of the roof , Zaleem looked at the entrance of the building as a smirk made its way onto his face ' It seems that the selected lowclass devils have made their way here '
" Please, Will all but the selected heirs vacate this room " Ajuka asked as the families began to disperse .
After a few moments Millicas was brought into the room by Grayfia before she too left .
Being alone Millicas began to grow worried as he looked around , Noticing this Zaleem decided to connect to the child .
' Don't be worried , You have nothing to fear here child , Move towards the front , Everything will be okay ' Millicas heard in his head as he looked around . ' Who are you ' Millicas asked .
' Later , Just go stand at the front next to the sitri heiress ' Without any more prodding , Millicas put on his bravest face and walked forwards, Making his way through the croud befoe standing next to sona .
The entrance once again opened as Falbium entered soon followed by each of the selected low class devils , Each and everyone of them having a look of hope and pride in their eyes .
' Well it's time ' Zaleem thought as he stood up and made his way to standing above the podium.
" Welcome , Each and every o ... " Serafall began before everyone was put on alert , The younger devils watching as someone dropped from the ceiling .
" I think it's time I addressed them , Don't you think Serafall " Zaleem asked as he stood up from his crouched position .
" O... Of course " Serafall stuttered out as she stepped back and Zaleem took her place before pulling down his hood for all to see .
Riser had to grab his hand as it started shake , Bringing himself to stand .
Sairaorg couldn't help the smile to came to his face as he saw his cousin .
Millicas grew curious as stared at the stranger .
The rest of the devil heirs recognised the man as Zaleem gremory , The rumored reason for this haooening in the first place .
" Welcome , Everyone to your new place as the heads of your clans , This is a trial period to see how you do as the heads . Do your best , Lead as you would have done " Zaleem stated as he addressed the clan heirs before turning to the lowclass devils .
" And welcome , Due to what i decreed , Each of your states has elected a representative, It matters not that you are lowclass , You have shown the potential to lead and will be given a chance to do so , To lead both beside the clan heirs and for your people " Zaleem stated as the lowclass looked up at him with gratitude for his actions .
" Are there any questions before this gets underway " Zaleem asked as he watched hands be raised .
Zaleem pointed at one of the southern lowclass devils .
" Im sure I speak for all of us when I ask this , Why " The man asked as he stared intently at the man on the podium.
" The devils are going extinct , If the heads of clans had kept going the way they had then they would have driven themselves along with each and everyone of you extinct . Sooner or later , Treaty or not , They wouldve made a decision that would have killed you had I not intervened . From this point onwards , You will work together , No backstabbing , No trying To get ahead of eachother , High class or lowclass is irrelevant, You will be working towards the betterment of not just you clans , Cities or towns , You will be working for the future of your entire species " Zaleem announced as most of the devils infront of him nodded with conviction .
Millicas looked up at the man infront of them in awe with his mouth open slightly .
" We wont disappoint you " The southern representative stated as he stood tall and proud .
" I hope not , For you sakes " Zaleem stated as he looked over the devils before snapping his fingers , The hall behind theing occupied by three large portals.
" What is this " Sairaorg asked as squads of foundry soldiers came through the portals , Equiped with their upgraded armor , Starves and both rifles .
" Each and everyone of you will be under the protection of one of our squads , They will be around you at all times to ensure your safety " Zaleem said as the captains of each squad picked who they would be protecting .
The new heirs and leaders watched as the soldiers stood back as their captains came and stood beside their charges .
Millicas looked up at the soldier standing beside him as the man looked down at him , Slowly leaning down the man removed his helmet to reveal a young man with brown eyes and short brown hair , He looked to be around twenty two years old .
" Hey , My names Nathan , What's yours " Nathan said as he held out a hand to the boy .
" My names Millicas, Its good to meet you nathan " The young boy said as he held onto Nathans hand .
" Its nice to meet you as well , Me and my boys will be protecting you , Is that okay with you " Nathan said with a small smile towards the boy .
" Thats okay , I look forward to it " Millicas said as he watched other captains converse with whom they would protect .
" Not that it is unwelcome , But why do we need this " Sona asked as she stood beside her guard .
" There is no civilisation or species that has ever accepted immediate change , Those that do not accept will fight like a cornered beast , Those who do not see things from their point of view are their enemies , These soldiers are here to protect you until the change has been fully implemented " Zaleem notified as four captains made their way to stand beside the maou .
" You think we are in danger , What of our peerages " Sona asked .
" Potentially , Each of these men are here to protect you , And advise you , The previous leaders may not accept this but you are now the leaders of your home , Some of your families will try to feed you ideas for their own gain , Thus , You will be both advised and protected , As well as your peerages have the potential of dying when out of a rating game if you come into battle , If you are protected , That is elliminated m " Zaleem instructed as the soldiers nodded .
" Well , I guess we dont have a choice " Sona asked to which Zaleem Nodded .
" I think everything has been explained so far , In three days I will return during your next meeting , Take the time to converse together and get to know who you will be serving with " Zaleem instructed as everyone looked at eachother .
" Now , I have things to discuss , Until next time " Zaleem said as he left the podium and watched as the heirs started to leave with the guardians .
Zaleem himself went to talk to Serafall ajd the other maou .
" Zaleem " A voice called out to which he stopped and turned around .
" Sona , What is it that you need " Zaleem asked as he eyed the girl infront of him .
" I wanted ... to ask your opinion " Sona asked not noticing Serafall coming up behind her .
" What is it my dear " Zaleem asked as he acknowledged Serafall.
" Do you think it would be possible to open up an academy for rating games , Not just for high class families but for everyone , No boundaries , No looking down on eachother , An academy where all are accepted " Sona asked as she tried her best not to wither under his gaze .
Zaleem brought his hands to his chin as he made a tbinking gesture before calling forward Sona's guard captain .
" Sona , Where would you have thought this to be built " Zaleem asked as the captain handed him something to whcih Sona didnt see .
" Auros in agares territory " Sona said as she grew more uncomfortable as she noticed Zaleem bring his palm to his mouth .
" Building squads a c and e are to accompany squad seventeen for a new project " Zaleem instructed as sona couldn't help the surprised look on her face .
" W...w...w... What are you doing " Sona asked as he nodded to the captain .
" Well i think you have an academy to over see the construction of , Wouldn't you agree Serafall " Zaleem said as he looked behind sona .
" Agreed , Sounds like she will be busy for a few days " Serafall said as she couldnt help the proud look on her face .
" T... thank you " Sona said as she hugged her sister before bowing to Zaleem and being escorted to auros .
" Now ... Serafall " Zaleem said as his expression turned serious .
" Y...yes " Serafall asked as she looked away from Zaleems eyes .
" This rebelion , Make them see reason , Or I will end their puny rebellion permanently " Zaleem said before a rift opened behind him " Got it Serafall "
" Of course " Serafall said as she bowed before Zaleem left through the rift .
REBELLION
" This is unacceptable , I will not stand for our great institution which has stood for hundreds of years be taken down by some irrelevant boy " One of the pillar heads said amongst the many who had come .
" I agree , Something must be done about this outrageous development " The bael clan head said as he sat in a chair .
" Then there is obviously nothing else to be done, Here , we create our rebellion, we will for the maou to join us or they will be taken down by force " The man stated as many others in the large room nodded .
Riser phenex had left his protection detail for the night and had snuck here , But apon seeing what was being discussed, quickly grew worried , Having faced the enemy they had been talking about .
' If it comes down to it , I'll have to choose ' Riser thought as he sat silently .
OPHIS
' Lemon , if you do not wish to read this then feel free to skip to the next part '
Zaleem lay in his bed with Ophis to his left as she clung to his leg and chest , drawing circles on his bare chest .
" You know , you haven't told me , What's your goal " Ophis asked as she clung to her mate .
" My goal ... My goal is equality , Peace , Freedom , I want creatures no matter their origins to have the capacity to live a life of their own choosing . They should be able to dictate their own future , Free from slavery, torture and pain . Nobody should control another . Anyone who stands in the way of peace shall be dealt with whether they be kings or entire nations , I will put a stop to them , And I will accomplish my goal " Zaleem reponded accordingly as he swept a hand through Ophis's hair .
Ophis silently comtemplated for a few moments as she lay ontop of her mate .
" That is indeed a noble goal , I shall stand by you , Helping you in whatever way I can , As is my duty as your mate " Ophis finally said as she kissed her lover .
" You are more than welcome my love " Zaleem stated before his pupils dilated .
" I only ask two things in return " Ophis said as she was ontop of her lover .
" And what are they " Zaleem asked with a cocked eyebrow .
" First , I wish to have your love " Ophis stated as Zaleem nodded .
" Done , And the second " Zaleem asked as Ophis removed her gown and straddled her mate .
" I wish to bear your child " She stated as she unbuttoned his shirt .
" Now " Zaleem said as he made no action to stop her .
" We have been interupted to many times , Im tired of waiting , I want it now " Ophis demanded as she started undoing Zaleem's pants .
" As you wish " Zaleem said as he sat up , grabbing her by the shoulders and pushed her down onto the bed .
Kissing down her bare body as he moved himself between her legs .
" Finally " Ophis drooled out as Zaleem moved his head down between her legs.
She grew surprised as she felt his tongue lap around her clitorus as he slid two fingers inside of her .
She felt tingling go up her spine as his tongue went to work with her clitorus , His fingers finding a steady rhythm as they delved into her . His fingers curling slightly ad he rubbed against her canal as he stimulated her clitorus , Causing her back arch as she screamed out in pleasure .
He stopped playing with her clitorus as he trailed kisses along her thighs , His fongers quickly becoming coated by her juices as they continued stimulating the wall front of her vaginal canal , Each time he did so causing her to spasm with pleasure .
After moving back to stimulating both her clitorus as well as her canal , Ophis moved and grabbed Zaleems hair as her legs tightened around his head .
Zaleem kept going as she gripped him , Reacher her climax as she screamed , Coating Zaleem with her juices as it erupted out of her body violently .
After a few moments she unfurled her arms from his head , slowly he came up licking his fingers as he did so .
" Tastes ... Sweet " Zaleem said as he moved her back down to the bed , moving her away from puddle of her juices .
" I want it ... I want it now " Ophis said with heavy breathes .
" If course " Zaleem said as he positioned himself above her , pulling her legs up and placing them over his shoulder .
" Ready " Zaleem asked as he got a nod from his lover .
Slowly he pushed his penis into his lover , Making her clutch the bed sheets due to his size .
Zaleem waited for a moment as he allowed for her body tp adjust to him , After a few moments he started to push himself deeper into her vaginal canal .
Eventually he started to thrust into his lover , Each time her head reared back as he did so .
After a few minutes of pounding into his lover before repositioning her , He moved her right leg over her right shoulder as he pushed deeper into the bed as his pelvis smashed into her , She screamed in pleasure as she felt him break through her cervix , Her head reared back as she screamed again , Zaleem grabbed her by the back as he stood up , He reached down and pulled her other leg up to her opposite shoulder , once again bringing his hands to support his lover as he fucked her , The length of his penis sliding in and out of his lover , Her juices running along its length as he pushed her against the wall again , Each and every thust pushing through her cervix , Eachtime she let out a satisfying moan .
After a few minutes in that position , Zaleem dropped Ophis onto the bed , Grabbing her by the hips as he brought her lower region up while her head was against the bed , Nearly making her upside down as he reincerted his penis into her , pushing deep into her nobody as she held herself up with her elbows against the bed .
Zaleems head reared up as his ears picked up footsteps somewhere in his estate .
" Someone draws near , I'll have to finish quickly " Zaleem stated as he forced his body to rapidly produce it's semen , Leaning down as he repositioned his lover with her stomach against the bed as he bent her over it's side , He grabbed her by the hair as he pulled it back , Causing her to yelp in pain and ecstasy , He pounded her repeatedly as she clawed at the bed , Releasing her juices as she squirted onto her lover .
Deciding this was time , Zaleem grabbed his lovers hips as he pulled her down the full length of his throbbing cock , Willing his body to release it's semen into his lover .
Ophis let out a yell of pure ecstasy yet again as she felt his fluids enter her body before leaking down her legs and onto the bed .
" I wish It could have gone for longer but it appears someone wants my attention " Zaleem said as he gently lifted his lover and placed her into his bed , Looking at the collection of cells spilt into the bed as they dissolved into the air by his will .
" Take ... your time ... My love " Ophis drooled out as she layed down . Zaleem leaned down and kissed her on the forehead before bringing the blanket to cover her .
" I won't be long " Zaleem stated as he formed a set of pants to cover himself before walking to the door to his room before opening it " What do you want , Issei , Vali"
" The fool felt the need to boast that his magic reserves improved " Vali notified .
" Well that's not the way I would have put it but yea, My magic reserves have improved " Issei said as hw had a wide smile .
" Congratulations , But You couldn't have waited until I was free " Zaleem said emotionlessly .
" Well yea I felt pretty good about it , I thought you would... " Issei didn't finish his sentence as he smelt an all too familiar smell .
" There's no way ... " Issei said suddenly .
" What " Vali asked with a raised eyebrow .
" WHAT WERE YOU DOING " Issei asked as he comically pointed his finger before sniffing again
Vali kept his eyebrow raised as he watched his friend continue .
" YOU HAD SEX " Issei yelled out as he attempted to move past Zaleem only to be stopped by the man who was easily taller than him .
" Yes ... I reproduced with my mate , What of it " Zaleem said emotionlessly .
" WHY DO YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT , YOU JUST HAD THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT " Isseo yelled incredulously .
" Sex is merely a way to reproduce , My lover felt the need to bear children , It is merely a way to fullfil her wish " Zaleem replied as Issei went slack jawed .
" WHAT THE HELL " Isseo yelled out " YOU DONT CARE ABOUT IT "
" No , Not necessarily , I am beyond the need of something so trivial , I could have impregnated her a number of ways but she wished to faunicate , Sex is just something worshipped by mortal beings , However , For me and my lover , It is merely a means to an end , To bear children to this world and care for them until it is their time to think for themselves " Zaleem explained .
" Wait a moment " Vali stated as he quickly caught on .
" Indeed , Lady Ophis will potentially fall pregnant and will bear my child " Zaleem said as he could sense the changes inside her body .
" Oh ... Congratulations " Vali said not being able to fully comprehend the news .
" Save it , Until my child is born , Now if you do not mind , I have someone to attend to " Zaleem said as he shut the door .
He sighed as he walked back to his bed , However he stopped himself from hopping into the bed as his pupils dilated .
" A development has come up " Zaleem stated before a cloak formed around his body .
" Where " Ophis asked with slight confusion evident in her voice.
" Something has developed in Kyoto , I must check it out " Zaleem said before gently lifting her chin and kissing his lovers forehead .
" I'll be here , Don't take to long " Ophis said without arguing .
" Thank you my love " Zaleem stated as he leapt through a freshly created rift .
KYOTO
Zaleem made his appearance a few hundred feet from the entrance of Yasaka's palace as he watched the guards scramble about ' Kunou ... Again ' Zaleem thought with a raised eyebrow before scanning the surrounding area for her .
After a few moments Zaleem turned on his heel and broke the surface of the ground as he launched into the sky in her direction .
WITH KUNOU
Kunou mumbled as she slowly woke up hearing the voices of those that had surrounded her .
" So , We just wait here until she is collected " A woman said as she stood near her colleagues.
" Yes , we recieve our payments and pretend this never happened " Kunou heard as she started to make out the figures around her .
The woman had long purple hair tied behind her back in a long pony tail , She wore simple looking armor made out of leather .
Her colleagues each wore rusted steel armor as they stood around Kunou, Obviously about to make an exchange .
" They're here " The woman stated as several members from the hero faction arrived .
" Hand her over " Their leader asked as he moved forward .
" First the payment " The woman demanded as she hoisted kunou up and into her grip .
" There has been a change of plans " The leader stated .
" Yes... there has " Announced a voice easily recognised by Kunou as she gained a large smile as everyone looked to the left of the clearing .
" Who're you " The woman asked as Zaleem approached both parties .
" I'm here to collect her , Now hand her over " Zaleem demanded as he looked at the woman behind his mask.
" Over my dead body , Not without my payment " The woman stated as Zaleem cracked his neck .
" Verywell then " Was all zaleem said as he swiped his arm , Kunou felt the grip on her decrease as she looked back , The lady had been decapitated by an unknown force .
" Anybody else " Zaleem asked as he stepped further into the clearing . Each and every person apart from Kunou grabbing their weapons as they stepped back .
A vengeful battle cry was heard as one of the iron glad warriors charged forward with his scarbard .
Zaleem twitched his right arm as the man grew closer , He stopped in his advance as his arms went limp , The cause became obvious when he was hoisted off of the ground by the condensed energy from Zaleem , Which had taken the form of a twisted , Malformed and elongated arm with atleast two more joints , Black in colour as energy seeped off of it and into the air , Its hands had long bladed claws with two more fingers than there should be .
The man was hoisted off of the ground by one such claw as he choked and vomited up his own blood as his skin started peeling off of his body due to the heat entering his body .
Without a second thought what remained of the mans body was tossed to the side before the rests of the warriors crew charged Zaleem.
Zaleem raised his right arm as a large silver greatsword shattered against his skin before he swung his arm out and decapitated the offending man with the bottom of his hand .
Zaleems body leant back at an unnatural angle as he ducked under the swing of a katana , Drawing in air as he locked eyes with the man whom had swung at him , The man was turned to dust as Zaleem exhaled a column of fire point blank into the mans face .
Reaching above his head to grab the ground as he was in his slanted position , Zaleem used his strength to back flip into the air as he dodged the ground shattering punch from another warrior .
On his way down Zaleem analysed his position before twisting to the left as an axe passed by him .
Landing on the ground in a silent crouch once more , Zaleem looked up at the final three warriors before smirkijg and slamming his hands into the ground .
It took a moment as everyone grew confused before the three warriors stopped moving , The Khaos brigade members looked confused before they noticed the thin black tendrils coming from the feet of the warriors , Having pierced through and wound through the entirety of their bodies before they fell to the ground having died before they realised .
Zaleem stood as he wiped himself off before coming and standing infront of Kunou , Reaching down and patting her head .
" You're from the Khaos brigade " Zaleem asked as he checked kunou for injuries.
" Indeed , And we request that you hand her over at once " The Captain asked as he held onto his weapon .
" I apologise , But I must leave no witnesses leading to me " Zaleem stated before the Captain jumped to the side , Narrowly avoided being decapitated or dismembered unlike his fellow members .
" You're going to regret that " The hero shouted as his weapon took on the shape of a scythe before he charged at Zaleem .
Rushing to stand infront of Kunou as he brought out his own weapon, Zaleem locked blades with the raging warrior whom Zaleem noticed to be crying .
" You Cry , Why is that " Zaleem asked as he broke the lock if their weapons by easily overpowering his opponent who was sent to the floor .
" You killed them , Without knowing them , Without mercy , You slaughtered them like pigs , I grew up with them , They were my family " The man said as he barely held his weapon .
" Do not blame me for your choices in life , This is the way of the world , The weak trample over the strong as they make their way in life . The weak clamper onto anything they can . While the strong come along and take what they wish . I am sorry for what this world has done to you and your life , It is a pity you won't get to experience the world I intend to make " Zaleem said as he knelt down to the man whom had since collapsed onto his knees .
" End me ... Please " The captain asked as he started to cry .
Zaleem knelt down as he brought the man closer to him . Holding the man close as he pointed his finger to the side of the mans head .
" I apologise , May you rest with your family " Zaleem said as the man nodded .
Kunou watched as a thin , black and purple beam of energy erupted from Zaleem's finger with resounding bang , Puncturing through the mans head and erasing a good portion of the nearby trees .
As Zaleem got up Kunou raced to his side and leapt onto him as she started to cry , The situation finally taking its toll on her as he held onto her while she cried into his shoulder .
" Lets get you home " Zaleem said as he cradled the child to him as he started walking back .
KYOTO
On the way back , Zaleem had produced a flower from the palm of his hand to which he had placed in the sleeping child's hair as he carried her home .
As he came to the palace in which Yasaka lived , Zaleem made his way up the stairs as the guards rushed him but made no move to take Kunou from him after it was known to be him .
As Zaleem made his way through the front gates , He noticed the guards running around like a bunch of headless chickens .
" What's going on here " Zaleem asked as the guards lowered their weapons .
" Lady Yasaka ... She's been taken "
