Chapter two: Building an Army, Recruitment, the date the twist
Eren POV
It's been three days since we killed...that one guy. Fuck I can't remember his name, but it's not like it really matters anymore since he got offed, and it's not like he was particularly important either.
He was just a trash person given an immense amount of power that he never had any right to have, so now that it's in Rune's hands, the Boosted Gear will be used to its fullest potential.
Plus, he's doing that Ria's chick and all respectable women of the world a favor by killing him.
Speaking of the Redhead.
When Rune told us of her situation, I couldn't help but feel angry at her parents and the bastard who just wanted her for her body and power.
So when he told us we'd be fighting his ass in two months, I began to train harder. I hate seeing people's freedom of choice taken from them.
Then again, I hate freedom takers in general.
All we have to do is wait for the word.
Until then, I train.
I've been training my crystal manipulation, magic, and aura. However, I haven't unlocked my semblance yet, which is unfortunate, but what could I do about it?
I just hope it's a useful ability and not something stupid.
Meanwhile, my creativity in manipulating crystals has increased immensely as Im no longer spamming the shit out the spikes. I now use it to create powerful yet flexible weapons and massive to small structures.
The magic training was surprisingly easy to use, and so was my aura, but I was still nowhere near Pyrrha's level as she's had years of experience using it compared to all of us who had it for only a few days.
And I would ask Rune for help, but the nutcase has been locked away in the workshop doing something with the Boosted gear.
We were beginning to worry for the guy's health as he hadn't eaten, drank, or slept in days, and every time we tried to get him to take a break, he brushed us off or ignored us entirely.
It pissed me off, but I wasn't about to fuck with him as I knew he would absolutely beat my ass even in my Titan form, so I just left him alone.
All we can honestly hope is that the crazy bastard is alright.
Rune POV
I sighed joyfully as I finally finished upgrading the Boosted gear, and now I don't want to give it to anyone anymore.
All the things I had to do were completely worth losing my sanity and sleep over as I upgraded the shit out of my Artificer, which allowed me to upgrade the shit out of the gauntlet.
Ultimate Boosted Gear
Description: The Ultimate Boosted Gear is a superior version of the Boosted Gear that contains the spirit of the welsh dragon Ddraig.
-Increases Physical and Magical stats Tenfold. -Increases the Individuals power every ten seconds tenfold. -Increases Aura level Tenfold. -Can transfer power to others without worrying about the gauntlet's power weakening as it can now absorb magical or physical energy from the individual's enemies to replenish itself.
Yup, I may have gone overboard but fuck it!
I'll eventually be facing enemies beyond the power of the characters of DxD, and I need all the strength I can get, so if I have to go overboard, I'll fucking do it without a moment of hesitation.
Now it's time to equip this bad boy and become the new Red Dragon Emperor.
Once I equipped it, I felt an immense amount of energy surging through my body, and I nearly collapsed from the pain.
When the pain went away after a few moments, I looked at the gauntlet, and my eyes widened at its new appearance.
Instead of two green jewels and ten spikes, it had four golden jewels and twenty golden spikes, and the design was slightly bulkier. It was also a combination of red, white, and black, yet red remained the dominant color for obvious reasons.
I grinned.
Oh, I was going to fuck shit up big time and become the biggest menace in the DxD universe.
Hell, I'll be the biggest menace in reality!
But that's not gonna happen for a long ass time, so I need to chill the fuck out for now.
(So you are my new host, hmm. You certainly are far more compatible, and you're a part dragon? Indeed a superior host.) Ddraig said with an approving tone.
"Glad you approve," I replied to the Welsh dragon.
(How could I not? Whatever you did to the gauntlet has dramatically increased my power, thus increasing the amount I can grant you while adding several new features I previously never had before.)
"And you're welcome. It took me days to do so, but it was worth it, and we can effortlessly make your rival our bitch in a few weeks if I non-stop train!!" I replied in a chipper tone.
The Welsh dragon chuckled. (Indeed, we can, and I see us doing the same to many powerful gods one day. Until then, we must continue to grow in strength.)
"Already ahead of you, big guy. However, we can focus on that later. I need to focus on another important project."
(As you wish, partner.)
Anyways, I now need to focus on building an army Im thinking about using some of my DNA and Sangheili DNA to create an entirely new species.
For now, though, I'll be doing a heavy amount of recruiting, and I know the perfect crowd who will jump at the chance to serve me and make my goals a reality.
The homeless and the lower-class citizens are the near-perfect people to recruit. However, I'll still take precautions as not everyone will be hundred percent loyal, so a little magic here and there will ensure that they can't betray me even if they wanted to, but other than that, they'll have their free will and get incredible benefits.
I'll also recruit other races to mix it up cause variety is the spice of life. However, my creations will be the primary fighting force whenever I get them up and running.
I'll have to expand my territory in the future but for now, let's focus on growing.
Pyrrha POV
I wonder if Rune has finished working on that strange gauntlet as it's already been several days, and Sona, for some reason, has been suspicious about us despite us not doing anything that would warrant it.
Nor did she believe us when we told her Rune came down with a fever which I couldn't blame her as he looked completely fine when they last saw each other.
"Hey, Pyrrha," I turn my head to see Eren.
"Hey, Eren," I said with a soft smile.
"How are you holding up?"
"Eh...im alright."
Eren looked me deadpanned. "Bullshit. You're worried about him, aren't you?"
I sighed and nodded.
"Figures since you have a little crush on him," He commented, causing me to blush. He looked at me with the same expression but raised an eyebrow. "Did you think you were slick or something? I noticed the way you looked at him. You couldn't have been more obvious."
Now my face is red from embarrassment, great. "I guess I was never good at hiding my feelings unless said person is extremely dense." "And none of us are."
"Yeah. You think Rune noticed?"
He scoffed at me as if I had said something stupid. "Most definitely."
Right stupid question.
"Then why hasn't he done anything?" I asked, sounding desperate.
Not one of my best moments, if I do say so myself.
"Probably cause he's busy," Eren slightly smirked as if he had come up with an idea. "Why don't you help him out?" He suggested.
"How?" I asked somewhat incredulously.
Eren shrugged his shoulders and smirked. "Only one way to find out."
He then began to drag me toward Rune.
Once we got to his workshop, our eyes widened as we saw hundreds of his droids in formation.
"Uh, Rune..." Eren said, dumbfounded by the scene.
Rune looked at us and gave us a friendly smile that made my heart skip a few beats.
"Hey, guys!"
"So uh, what's up with all the droids?" Eren asked.
Rune looked at us and grinned. He walked up to one of the droids and put his arm over its shoulder.
"These guys right here are going to be my little recruiters," he replied surprisingly, the both of us.
"Oh, ok...but how did you even create all of these?"
"Easy, I had my builders make them," he said, pointing to the right.
We turned our heads to see that the builders were droids but, unlike the recruiters who were sleek and slim. The builder was broad, bulky, had four arms, and stood at seven feet.
They were currently working on other projects that were unknown to the rest of us.
"How the fuck are you affording all this shit?!" Eren incredulously asked Rune, who just smirked at his reaction.
"Remember all the gold and jewels we got from the dungeons?" Runed asked.
How could we forget?! We were practically drowning in all of it until Rune used his ability to store in his pocket dimension instantly.
We nodded, but our eyes widened as soon we realized what he was implying.
"You sold all of it?" I asked.
"Bingo, and before I forget," four cards appeared in his hand, and he then handed them to us. "Thoughs are your guy's debit cards. Every month you will receive an allowance of ten grand, so enjoy it but don't go crazy.
"Are you sure, Rune?" I asked in disbelief. "This is way too generous."
I can't believe he'd be willing to give away so much money to people he barely knows. Im flattered, but I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness.
Rune smiled. "Yeah, Im sure, plus you guys are my people, and I'll do everything within my power to ensure you are taken care of," he said while looking at me, causing me to turn red.
"Ok..."
He nodded. "Good. Now be sure Momo and Thel get their cards."
I smiled and nodded.
"So Rune," Eren started causing the said person to look at him. "Pyrrha wanted to ask you something."
"Oh?" Rune looks at me, causing me to freeze. "What did you need?"
"Ummm...I was wondering if there was any way I could help you since you've been doing so much by yourself," I said lightly, blushing while also not making eye contact with him.
"Sure," I looked at him, surprised. "You could help train the recruits alongside Thel If thats ok with you."
"Of course!! I'll gladly help with that," I said enthusiastically.
"Not the only thing you would like to do," I heard Eren mutter causing me to blush, and I looked at him with a glare while he had a stupid grin on his stupid face.
Rune chuckled at the remark causing me to groan inwardly, but he decided not to comment.
"Then I'll contact you when they get here."
I nodded. "Also, look at what I did with the Boosted Gear!!!" Rune said with excitement while also changing the topic entirely.
He summoned the gauntlet, and our eyes widened like saucers when we saw its appearance as it looked far more intimidating and deadly. It honestly looked like something Yang would use.
I missed her.
And the others.
I inwardly sigh.
I snapped out of thoughts when I heard Eren whistle, impressed by the Boosted Gear, and I couldn't blame him for it. It was undoubtedly a weapon I would use if I specialized in hand-to-hand combat.
"Huh, so thats what you've been doing for the past few days..." Eren replied with his eyes still glued on the gauntlet.
"Yup, I upgraded the fuck out of this bad boy and talked to the Ddraig."
"How'd that go?" I asked.
I can't help but feel slightly jealous as talking to dragons seems pretty interesting if you ask me.
"Pretty well. Ddraig was grateful that I gave him a power boost," Rune smirked.
"I bet."
"Yup, and Im looking forward to using it on my enemies, but for now, I'll wait. Now I need to talk to Thel," Rune then gestured to us to follow him.
Rias POV
Three days ago, I lost my last hope for freedom, and it's all my fault for taking so long and not training. I had all this time to recruit Issei Hyoudou, but like an idiot, I didn't do it right away.
And that cost me as Issei was found dead at a park. What's worse is that this was done on my territory, and we have no idea who killed him, which was strange as we always had familiars watching him.
I sighed and looked down at my desk, wondering why I was such an idiot, but I shook my head.
There was no time to be putting myself down. I need to start thinking about my freedom and how to keep it.
There was no way in hell I'd be the wife of Riser, who would only care for my body and not who I am as a person.
And even if I did have the freedom to choose, never in a million years would I ever choose him!!
Now it's time to start fighting for my future and begin training. I still have a few years left, so I still have time.
Rune POV
"So you're creating an army using your DNA and Thel's?" Eren asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yup, I thought it would be pretty cool to have Dragon slash Sangheili hybrid if im being honest with you. I thought of using familiars, but eh, too unoriginal. Then I thought of making an army out of mechs, and droids came to mind, but thats too costly. I'll still have a few hundred of them, though. Then I thought, why not create an entire race thats loyal to me only and is a mixture of two badasses species? It wouldn't be hard to create them in mass quantities anyway," I explained.
"Interesting thought of a name for them yet?" The beautiful redhead asked.
"Dragonborns," I replied.
I got lazy with the naming, alright, so fuck off!
"I suppose that fits better what I thought of."
"Oh, and what was that?"
"Dragonoid's."
I inwardly chuckled as that was the first name I came up with until I ultimately favored the latter.
"I thought about using that name too, as it was rather fitting, but I preferred Dragonborn for personal reasons," I said, thinking about Skyrim.
I should get a PC and install the game with mods as I miss playing it.
We got to our destination, and I knocked on the door to Thel's room. We patiently waited for the giant, and after a moment or two, he opened the door and looked down at us.
"Was there something you needed?"
After I explained everything to him, he looked at me unreadably and didn't say anything for several moments.
"You're an odd individual. But you may have a few samples of my blood as it would be pleasant not to be the only non-human here," he said with a hint of amusement.
I grinned. "Great!!!" I pulled out a syringe. "Give me your arm," he complied, and after a few seconds, we were finished. "Pyrrha, do me a favor and give this to one of the builders."
She perked up and gently took the syringe out of my hands.
"Im on it!" She chirped before heading toward the basement.
I smiled at her enthusiasm to help me.
"So when you going ask her out?" I turn my head to look at Eren.
"Why do you ask?"
He shrugged. "Curious, I guess."
"Fair, I guess. Eh, it depends once I return from the Dungeon," I answered.
It's not like I don't want to ask her out, but I want to ensure Im powerful and prepared enough to protect everyone, as I'll eventually have the supernatural world up my ass, and I can't risk being soft when I have to face them.
"You're going by yourself?" The Arbiter asked.
"Yeah, I wanna take the Boosted Gear for a test run and see how it fares," I said, summoning the gauntlet.
Thel Vadam looked at the gauntlet and was taken aback by the Boosted Gear's appearance.
"Impressive. It looks like a mighty weapon for sure. However, it doesn't suit my tastes."
"Fair enough, but yeah, I'll be gone for a while, so don't wait up," I said before vanishing.
Once I appeared in the dungeon, I looked at my surroundings to see I was in a ruined futuristic city.
(What is this place?) Ddraig asked curiously.
"Since we're partners, I feel it's safe to tell you this. We're currently in a different dimension thats called a Dungeon, and it helps empower me by defeating my foes," I explained.
(A remarkable ability...does it have limits to how quickly and how you can grow?)
"From what I know, I have limitless growth, and the speed I can grow is immense as what takes devils hundreds or possibly thousands of years to grow, I could do it in a matter of months."
Ddraig remained silent for a few moments until he spoke up.
(Then partner, let's get started.)
I grinned. "You got it."
Since I was already powerful, I unlocked the Balance breaker and was in the Scale Mail armor.
It was bulkier but kept its sleek and original appearance with the expectation of its coloration.
I then heard growling behind, so I turned around and saw a horde of mutated creatures slowly moving toward me in a threatening manner, so I summoned the Blade of Olympus, and I grinned like a manic as they were surrounding me from all sides.
"Well, what are you ugly bastard waiting for," I yelled. "Come at me!!!"
For the next few hours, I was fighting through a horde upon hordes of mutated creatures and mini-bosses throughout the city. Many buildings were destroyed as I eventually had to fight building-sized humanoid mutants.
After I finally killed off the last mutant, I fell to my knees, sighing with relief.
I wasn't tired due to the immense regeneration and level gains, but it was nice to take a little break.
(This is incredible!!! You are already two times more powerful than you were four hours ago. Im honestly delighted that you killed my previous host, as I fear that oppai obsessed imbecile would've dragged my name through the mud with his perverted antics.)
Oh, you have no idea.
(With you as my host, the supernatural world will know to fear and respect the Red Dragon Emperor!!!) He roared with passion.
I lightly chuckle at his enthusiasm.
After a few more minutes, I stand back up, and I go to find the final boss.
"Now, where is it?"
As soon as I asked that, I heard a monstrous roar that put thunder booming to shame. I turned around to see a knock-off version of Godzilla, who stood between two to three hundred feet tall, and sighed out of depression.
Why do the bosses have to be so huge?
(Found it.)
I deadpanned.
"Wow, really, where?" I sarcastically asked while staring at the near skyscraper-sized behemoth.
(I don't appreciate your sarcasm.) Ddraig huffed.
"Yeah yeah," I waved him off.
I want to look at his stats, but Im afraid if I do that, I'll cry. However, my curiosity got the better of me, so I checked it.
Wannabe Godzilla
Level- 72 Rank- Tier 1 Health- 1250000 Magic-0 Stamina-1000000 STR-20000 END-175000 DEX-3000 INT-100 WIS-0 CHA-0 LUK-0
And I immediately regret looking at it.
Well, no backing out now.
My glorious metallic wings popped out, and in the blink of an eye, I closed the distance between the Beast and me, then sent a horizontal wave of energy toward the beast's face causing it to roar in anger and agony.
With incredible speed, it swung its tail in my direction, and I dodged it, although barely due to this being the first time I used my wings. Luckily, Im quick to adapt, and I continuously spam my energy attacks until Im boosted enough to take the scaly bastard head-on.
While I was being a complete and total spammer, the oversized lizard continued to swing its tail at me or attempt to swallow me whole when it got close enough.
But there is no way in hell Im ending up as lizard shit, so I made sure to keep my distance better and not get cocky.
I was eternally grateful this wasn't in the real world, as by that point, the three factions would've definitely been up my ass, and of course, there would have been a needless amount of innocent lives taken.
After a while of dodging and evading, the oversized lizard was getting tired of my shit, so it began to send atomic blasts my way, which caused my eyes to widen before I dodged the attack.
I flipped the reptile off. "Fuck you too!"
It responded in kind by sending another blast my way.
(ALRIGHT, PARTNER, YOU'RE ABLE TO ATTACK NOW!!!) Ddraig roared.
I grinned as I could feel the immense power surging through me. I then bolted toward it and stabbed it in its right eye, causing it to release another thunderous roar.
I wish I'd brought the others. Not only because I wanted to level them up but also to show them the amount of awesomeness that Im showing off.
Oh well, there's always next time.
Thirty minutes had passed, and the city, or what was left of it, was all gone as all the structures within the dimension were flattened like a pancake, and I couldn't help but smile like the joker at the mess.
It was pretty fun causing all this mayhem and destruction without having to worry about innocent lives or pay for the damages.
I shudder at thinking how much it would cost to fix all this well, thats if anyone bothered to stick around.
Anyways.
The battle sadly ended as Wanna Godzilla succumbed to his injuries, and soon enough, it slowly collapsed to the ground.
I landed back on the ground and was surprised to hear the thing was breathing, albeit barely.
I walked up to the side of its face, and its right eye landed on me. It lowly growled, but other than that, it didn't do anything else besides watching me.
"You gave me a good fight, big guy, and it would've been awesome to have you on my side. Sadly though, you have to go," I said in genuine sadness.
Imagine the faces of the faction leaders if they saw this guy. It would've been fucking hilarious.
I sighed another time.
I walked up to its neck and then charged up my sword before slashing at it, completely decapitating it with ease, and the body was fading away.
However, what happened next surprised me and made me grin like a mad man.
The greyish blue skies then turned bright gold, and best of all, the skies rained loot.
For a moment, I thought I was in the borderlands series as the items, weapons, and money were color-coded by their rarity.
I quickly collected all the loot, and my jaw dropped at some of the shit I got.
Light Show [Legendary]

Bonus effects
-Does 25% more damage to non-humans. -Killing an enemy increases damage by 5% for ten seconds. This effect stacks up six times.

Summoning Gem of Moserah Hayussinian Yan-Lun al-Amir Andreyevna (Aka Moze)
Description: This Summoning Gem specifically summons Moze the Gunner and her trusty Iron Bear from Borderlands 3.
Moze and Fl4K were my favorites to play in the third. Hopefully, I'll get lucky enough next time to get him and the other characters from the series, although Im contemplating if I should be excited or dread getting Claptrap.
Anyways I'll look at the other shit I got later, but now I need to check out my stats as I leveled up a fuck ton after slaying the Wannabe Godzilla boss.
Rune Fall
Level- 105 Class-DragonKnight Rank- Tier 1 Race- Half-Human/Half Dragon Health-18630000 (per second 3105000) Magic-7452000 (per second 1242000) Aura- 37260000 (per second 6210000) Stamina- 22536000 (per second 3726000) STR-1863000 END-3726000 DEX-1863000 INT-3726000 WIS-3726000 CHA-3933000 LUK-2898000
And to think im not even the most powerful being in this verse despite the ridiculous stats I have right now. Im convinced if I look at Sirzechs stats, I'll have a literal heart attack.
Moving on, Ive required several new abilities, perks, and skills.
Black Whip (Ability)
Description: Black Whip is a powerful Quirk powered through emotions; the stronger the emotion, the stronger the Quirk becomes. The energy tendrils can be produced from any body part and commanded at will.
This ability is perfect for capturing enemies, air-maneuverability, and reinforcing the body.
I can already see myself abusing the living shit out of Black Whip, and I have no shame in admitting that.
Power Bestowal (Ability)
Description: You can bestowal a percentage of your power at the cost of being weakened by the portion that you granted the chosen individual for 200 hundred hours, albeit once thoughs hours are over, you will be at full strength.
When the individual is granted a percentage of their raw power, their stats will be increased by that portion, and the same can be said with their abilities.
The only downside is that your chosen cannot inherit any of your abilities, skills, or perks.
Wow, this is pretty good because, besides my summons, I can grant whatever amount of power I want to someone who fully earned my trust and not lose any of my strength permanently due to me sharing it.
It kind of sucks that I can't share my other stuff, but oh well, there's always gotta be a downside to things.
Evening the odds (Ability)
Description: This ability allows you to do extra damage to enemies beyond your power level at the cost of your stamina and mana.
The ability last for one and has a cooldown time of two.
-Enemies 50-75 levels higher than you receive 25% more damage at the cost of 15% percent of your stamina and mana. -Enemies 100-175 levels higher than you receive 50% more damage at the cost of 30% percent of your stamina and mana. -Enemies 200-300 levels higher than you receive 75% more damage at the cost of 50% of your stamina and mana.
This ability will come in handy whenever I accidentally run into someone who'll attempt to force me into joining their faction or try to kill me.
First Impressions matter (Perk)
Description: Depending on how you present yourself to someone you haven't met yet, you will either gain a great or minor amount of possible or negative reputation/affection.
Neat~
Giant Slayer (Perk)
Description: Do 25% more damage to giant humanoids, creatures, or whatever gigantic ass thing your stupid ass ends up fighting next.
Uh, rude but cool!
Sex god (Perk/Ability)

-You can magnify your or your partner's sensitivity by 10 to 100% percent, thus increasing the amount of pleasure you or your partner feels. -You can also please your partner through mental command, a helpful ability when you want to be a tease or be petty.
"Game."
(Yes?)
"I love you."
(Love you too!!!) It giggled.
Anyways back to what I was doing.
Pinpoint (Perk) Description: You are now 50% more accurate with ranged and throwing weapons.
Commando 0/100 (Skill)
Description: The higher your skill, the more damage you do with any type of firearms and throwables.
Gucci~
Oh god, did I really just say that?!
Well, thats about it for that shit, so I might as well summon Moze and level her up a bit.
"Im summoning Moze."
(Gotcha!)
Now time to meet my second favorite Vault Hunter.
Moze
Level- 1 Rank- Tier 1 Race- Human Health- 600 (50 per second) Magic- 0 Aura- Shield- 10000 (500 per second) Stamina- 850 (75 per second) STR- 125 END- 150 DEX- 125 INT- 500 WIS-0 CHA- 200 LUK- 1000
Iron Bear
Level- 1 Rank- Tier 1 Armor- 20000 (250 per second) Shield- 10000 (500 per second) Fuel: 50000 Fuel consummation: 100 per second STR- 1000 DEX- 75
Her luck and stats are nothing Im surprised by since she's a Vault Hunter, as Moze has to have the hands to scrap with the shit she deals with daily and have the good luck to get anything remotely decent.
And Iron Bear is what I expected, and I can only imagine the stats and destruction it will cause when he gets leveled up.
Mozes First Impression- 25 Affection
Already starting strong, I love it!
"So your Rune, huh?" She asked, placing one hand on her hip while resting her big assault rifle on her shoulder.
"The one and only," I replied with a charismatic smirk.
Moze Affection- 30/100 Affection
She raised an eyebrow before smirking herself.
"I usually don't go for dudes, but I'll make an exception for you," Moze said, getting closer to me with each word until she was inches away from my face.
"Im honored," I said with a shit-eating grin.
"I bet," she replied. I take a risk as I slowly lean toward her lips, and she does the same, which slightly surprised me, but I'm not complaining; she's hot.
However, before they connect, she puts her finger on my lips.
Fucking tease!
"Before we continue this," her tone becomes serious. "Im a mercenary first and an ass-kicker second, so we need to discuss my payment if Im going to help you build up your empire while also kicking a bunch of supernatural ass. Which Im looking forward to, by the way," she said in that last sentence with her playful tone returning.
"Hmm, for the first month, you'll get ten grand a month with the addition of getting whatever loot I don't want or need and getting to keep whatever you find in the dungeons. How's that sound?" I asked.
Moze Affection- 40/100 Affection
She grinned. "Sounds like Im hired," she said before pulling me into a deep kiss.
Damn, that was faster than I expected, but the woman knows what she wants. I wish I could say for most women or people in general.
After thirty seconds, she pulls away but not before gently biting my lips, nearly bringing the primal side of me out.
"So what do we do now, boss?" Moze asked with her weapon at the ready.
"Easy," I rested the dungeon and put it at a lower difficulty. "We fuck up shit up."
Pyrrha POV
It's been hours since Rune left. I finished my daily training regime and had a protein shake before watching a bit of 'anime' which was short for animation with Momo. At first, I thought it was a cartoon when I saw her watching a show called 'Hero Academy,' but she quickly corrected me that their not.
The show was pretty good, and it reminded me a little bit too much of home, so after a while, I told Momo I was going for a walk.
I walked around Kuoh, and while doing so, I never realized how nice the town was until now.
It's a place I wouldn't mind settling down at when I got older and started a family one day.
I smiled at the thought of having a family and growing old. Well, having a family, at least.
I don't think I'll be able to get old anymore, as I learned from Momo that there were anti-aging spells, and Im sure Rune's planning to make us all immortal, which I don't mind so long as Im with him.
I sighed. I hate the fact Im able to move on from Jaune so quickly or from my old life in general.
What could I do, feel sorry for myself and not be happy?
Not a chance.
I want to enjoy my life, thank you very much, but I still feel slightly terrible though.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a girl scream bloody murder, and the inner huntress in me rushed toward the sound.
Once I got near the sound, it eventually led me to an alleyway. I looked to my right and saw a man with short white hair wearing strange clothing about to stab a girl around my age with a sword, so I quickly used my Semblance and took the sword out of his hand and into mine.
"What the fuck?! Who did that?!!!" The man shouted in anger.
"That would be me," I replied coldly.
The man quickly turned around, and if looks could kill, I'd be dead right now.
"Who the fuck are you?!!" He demanded quickly, taking out another sword and a gun.
"Who I am doesn't matter. What does matter is you are attempting to kill a defenseless girl," I glared at him fiercely.
"Who her the shitty fucking devil lover?!" He laughed madly. "The fucking bitch deserves to fucking die for associating with shitty cock sucking devils!!! She's lucky I was only going to kill her and not rape her as she deserves!!" He said disgustingly, licking his lips.
Thats it!!
I rushed at the man and closed the distance between us in seconds, surprising him.
Before he could defend himself, I stabbed him through the back and pushed him off my sword, causing him to land on his back.
"W-What t-the s-shit?" He said while coughing out blood, and he looked at me with pure hate in his eyes. I pointed the tip of the sword at his face and glared harder at him.
"It doesn't matter if she does associate with them so long as she's not harming anyone; the girl is free to do as she wishes."
"Fucking devil lo-" was all he could get out before I ended his pathetic life as I swiftly slashed at his throat and left him to choke on his blood but not before I disarmed him to ensure he didn't try to take me out with him.
I turn my attention to the scared devil girl. I moved toward her and got on one knee.
Poor thing was shivering.
"Hey, you're safe now," I said in softly.
She looked at me with fear and cautious in her eyes. "W-Who are you?" The girl asked.
"Im Pyrrha. How about you?" I asked with a smile.
"I-Im Lily."
"Thats a pretty name...so where do you live? Your parents must be worried about you?" I asked as gently as possible.
The girl's widened eyes, and tears began to form.
"H-He killed them..." Lily said, pointing at the disgusting dead man's body.
Damnnit!!!
"Im so sorry...I know it doesn't mean much since im a stranger but sincerely sorry for your loss...do you have anywhere to go?" I asked.
"N-No, I just moved her t-two days ago...all I had was my parents, but now t-they're," she couldn't finish her sentence as she began to sob uncontrollably.
I hugged her, and she held onto me tightly, crying into my shoulder.
Almost fifteen minutes had passed, and Lily was beginning to calm down, so I stood us back up.
"We need to get out of here, as standing right next to a dead body wouldn't look good on our part," I joked.
Oh god, that was terrible.
"You can stay with my friends and me," I said with a smile.
Sorry, Ru.
Lily looked at me wide-eyed. "W-Why would you do that for me? You don't even know me..."
"Because it's the right thing to do," I replied.
I really hope he doesn't get upset with me. Besides, Lily could be a potential recruit.

Jesus, her Iron Bear, hasn't even been upgraded yet, and I can already tell it's going to be a beast and Moze is doing pretty well herself, and she'll be even better an Aura and magic.
Speaking of Aura and magic, I might as well give it to her now since we slaughtered everything in the dungeon.
"Hey Moze, come here for a second," I shouted.
"Comming!!!" She ran over to me. "What's up, boss?"
"I need to unlock your Aura and magic. Think of Aura as a natural shield that grants you superhuman capabilities and a superpower. Magic well, thats pretty self-explanatory."
"Cool having another shield can always be helpful, and magic? Will I get to shoot fireballs out my hands and shit?" She asked in an amused tone.
"That and a lot more. You'll be able to imbue Iron Bear with magic to make him stronger and other cool shit," I replied, knowing the woman treats the mech like her own child.
She grinned. "Then what are you waiting for, Aura, and magic me the fuck up!" She said enthusiastically.
I smirked and did precisely that.
"How do you feel?"
Her Aura flared Red with bits of white in it. Once it disappears, she looks at me with a smirk across her face.
"I feel fucking amazing!" She goes up to a car and causally lifts it. "Wow, you weren't kidding about the superhuman shit."
She then dropped the car back on the ground.
I chuckled. "Yeah, Aura is pretty good. The only negative about it is that to earn your superpower is that you have to go through an intense physical or emotional event."
She frowned. "Well, shit," her frown slowly turned into a grin, and she got closer to me. "Does fucking each other until we can't walk for several days count as an 'intense physical event,'" she asked with a smirk.
Wow, she's awesomely straightforward.
"Hmm, I don't know..." I looked at the Vault Hunter beauty and smirked. "It never hurts to try and find out."
Moze Affection-50/100 Affection
LOOT LOOT LOOT!!! (Perk)
Description: This perk increases the loot quantity and quality of dungeons as 50% more gold and jewels from dungeons, 15% increase in epics, 10% increase in legendaries, and 5% increase in Divines.
Nice~
She smirked and gave me a quick kiss.
"Good answer," she chuckled. "However, let's do this back at your place."
"Say no more," with a snap of my finger, we appeared back at base.
"Welcome to my-"
"Rune," said the sweet voice of Pyrrha.
I turned around to see the red-haired beauty walking toward us.
"Hey Pyrrha, I want you to meet our newest member, Moze" I gestured to Moze.
"Sup."
"Hello and welcome to the group!" Red said in a welcoming tone.
Before anything else could be said noticed that there was another girl I'd never seen before sitting on the couch. Oh, no, my spidey senses are tingling.
"Red... whose she?" I asked, pointing at the girl.
"Oh, thats Lily. I saved her from getting killed, and she has nowhere else to go since the man killed her parents, so I brought her here," she leaned toward my ear. "Plus, she can be a potential group if you give her a chance," she said, whispering into my ear.
I smirked.
Pyrrha, you beautiful redheaded goddess!
I kissed her on the cheek and placed my hands on her shoulders. I stared right into her beautiful emerald eyes and grinned at the intense blush she had on her cheeks.
"For bringing me my first recruit, I'll grant you whatever you wish," I grinned. "However that can wait later."
Despite being blue-balled, I was still overwhelmingly happy about getting my first recruit.
It may not be much, but it's the thought that matters.
"Ok," she answered, somewhat disappointed, but she understood.
I took a good look at Lily, and I liked what I saw.
She had shoulder-length cyan hair and beautiful red eyes that had a mix of gold in them. She had a fair complexion, respectable bust, curves, and looked like she had one hell of an ass.
Lily definitely gave me that girl next door vibe.
When she finally noticed me and blushed before looking away.
Lily's first impression- 35
I guess she liked what she saw too.
I shook my head in amusement and sat a few feet away from her to give her enough space. "Heya, Im Rune," I said in a friendly voice. "It's nice to meet you, Lily."
She looked at me, and her eyes immediately locked onto mine for a few seconds. Lily seemed to have realized she was practically undressing with her eyes as she instantly looked away with a blush redder than Pyrrha's hair.
Awe, how adorable~
"I-I's n-nice to meet you too," she said shyly and with a stutter.
"There's no need to be shy. I won't bite unless you want me to," I winked at the shy girl causing her to blush furiously.
"Could you not flirt with her, Ru," Pyrrha said jealously.
I looked at her. "There's no need to be jealous. Im just being friendly," I turn back to Lily. "Since you have nowhere else to go, you can stay here as long as you want."
She looked at me with hope and disbelief.
"R-Really?"
"Yup!! You're one of us now, and here we take care of our own," I gave her a kind smile. "I know I can't, nor will I ever attempt to replace what you once lost, but I will happily take you in and make you a part of our family."
"Y-You want me in your family?..."
I nodded. "So, what do you say?"
Her response was to tackle me into a crushing bear hug or as crushing as it can be for a human.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" She said with tears of joy. I chuckled and hugged her back.
"Think nothing of it."
Pyrrha POV
I want to be mad at the girl for holding Ru, but I can't blame her after Ru made a generous offer, and Im more upset with myself for still being a coward as I still hadn't done anything to pursue my feelings for him. Perhaps I could use this favor to my advantage.
I'll think about it later as my attention is on the woman Ru brought with him. She's certainly a lot older than us. I'd say she's in her mid-twenties and has a military vibe to her.
"So, are you his main squeeze or something?" Moze asked bluntly.
That caught me off guard, but it didn't prevent me from turning as red as my hair.
"Uh no. We aren't together, unfortunately," I whispered that last part to myself, but it didn't seem low enough as Moze smirked.
"But you wanna be together, huh?" I hesitantly nodded. "You want my advice?" She asked.
I again nod.
"Then take him by the metaphorical balls and make him yours," she again said as bluntly as ever. "My life in the military and life as a Vault Hunter has taught me many things, and one of the greatest lessons I've ever learned is that nothing lasts forever," she then paused. She had a grim expression but shook her head lightly and continued. "So stop being a pussy and take what you want or don't either way; Im getting railed by him, and Imma gonna enjoy every second of it," she finished with a wicked smile. Does this woman have no shame!!
I sighed. At least Moze was honest and helpful. It doesn't make it better that I'll have to share Ru with other women, though.
I frowned. "Thanks for the advice."
"No problem, kiddo," she gave me a thumbs up. "And since im so awesome, I'll let you jump Rune first, but you better hurry up and do it as Im only giving two days before I rock his world," she winked at me.
"But-" before I could protest, Rune walked toward us with Lily in tow.
"Well, I'll be taking our newest recruit," he gestured toward Lily, "and the other recruit down to the basement. You're free to join if you like."
"I'd love to," I said with a beaming smile.
Moze rolled her eyes in amusement, and Ru nodded.
Rune POV
I showed Lily and Moze the basement; they were amazed by the sheer size of the place and the other shit I have down here. I had Pyrrha take Lily to the sparring area to get an idea of where she's at in terms of fighting and physicality.
Meanwhile, Moze and I were at the workshop working on Iron Bear.
"So these are the upgrades you were thinking about?" Mozed asked while looking at the blueprints Ive given her.
"Yeah, what do you think?"
"They're not bad at all if Im being frank," she said honestly. "Ive been wanting to give him the touch-up he deserves but could never afford as what I had in mind would cost me a fortune."
"Well, good thing you have me around, eh?" I said lightly, elbowing her side.
She chuckled. "Yeah, I guess so. Thanks again for the help."
I waved her off. "Think nothing of it. After all the loot we got from the dungeons, I can easily afford a lot of shit. Im not Hyperion or devil family level rich, but Im certainly well off."
I have over two hundred million to my name, but sadly that will only last me a few months due to all the shit I have planned. So I'll have to farm for a few hours later and also do some investing, but I can save that for later.
"Still, it means a lot, though. I definitely won't let this go unrewarded," she whispered huskily.
"Good," I kissed her passionately for a few seconds before hesitantly pulling away, much to her dismay. "Now you ready to give Iron bear a make-over."
She grinned like a manic at thoughs words and grabbed a toolbox.
"Fuck yeah!!"
It took us hours, but Moze and I were happy with the results.
Iron Bear's main body design remained the same at the request of Moze. However, other than that, the arms and legs got replaced but were all made with an alloy that made Iron Bear twenty-five times more durable while also being three times lighter, thus making Iron Bear significantly faster.
To make it an even bigger fuck you to our enemies, Iron Bear was imbued with magic that made him extra deadly to magical beings while also being highly resistant to magical attacks, immune to electromagnetism, and highly resistant to high temperatures.
His inner mechanisms were replaced, and he is now powered by magical energy, which is significantly cheaper since you know we can naturally produce that shit. He also has a secondary shield built into him, and it will instantly activate when his primary one is depleted.
On his back, he has a powerful jetpack which gives him superb aerial maneuverability as he can effortlessly fly and move around the air.
Iron Bear's arms were placed with ones that could instantly transform into miniguns, heat-seeking missile launchers, laser cannons, railguns, flamethrowers, swords, and emit energy fields. These abilities can be augmented to increase attack power at the cost of his energy supplies, so the more potent the attack, the more energy consumed.
His legs were longer and thicker but had three boosters, two when we're in his calves, and could be used to increase his running speed.
Overall he is far stronger, durable, faster, maneuverable, versatile, and hundred times more badass.

Hell, hot damn, he's going to be a complete fucking nightmare for enemies and dungeon bosses, thats for sure.
I look at Moze to see her basking in on Iron Bears' magnificence, and I can't blame her.
We did one hell of a job.
"Well, that was fun," I then felt my stomach grumbling as I hadn't eaten all day. "Hey Moze, you hungry? Because I know I am."
She snapped out of it and looked at him but didn't reply.
"Uh Moze, you alright?" I was about to open my mouth to say more, but Moze pulled me down and claimed my lips with hers.
So being the type not to let this opportunity go, I pulled her closer by the waist and kissed back aggressively while also enjoying her bust being pressed against my best.
We were in an aggressive lip-locking session, with her attempting to dominate me with her tongue, but it was futile as she is nothing but a human while Im a mighty dragon that dominates all that attempt to tame me.
My tongue explored every part of her mouth continuously until she pushed me against a workbench to then get on her knees and undoes my pants.
[Lemon]
She looked at my dick, then up at me, and smirked before licking the palm of her right hand, then using said hand to slowly stroke my member, all while looking me dead in the eyes and with her sexy yet annoying smirk never leaving her face.
"It's a shame I can't fuck your brains out yet," she said before taking nearly my entire length into her mouth with ease and didn't even gag.
I gripped the edge of the workbench due to the immense pleasure I was receiving.
"Whys that?" I said, holding back a groan as I didn't want her to give her that satisfaction.
She pulled back from my length, which made a satisfying popping sound, and looked back at me while licking the tip.
"Cause I promised Red that Id let her have her fun with you first but gave her a few days do it before I swooped in," She answered nonchalantly.
Moze then went back to expertly sucking my dick from the sides before lifting it. She started from the bottom and slowly licked back to the tip, nearly causing me to shiver from the pleasure, but I stayed strong.
"How generous of you," I stopped for a moment to stop the moan escaping from my mouth, but I continued once I fought it down.
She then began to massage my balls while sucking my dick while her life depended on it.
I couldn't help but smirk as I could tell she was getting aggravated when I didn't let out any moans or show visible signs of pleasure. "I was going to ask her out when I had over a few thousand recruits, but I can do that after this," I said, leaning back and enjoying the blow-up.
Although I wonder why Pyrrha hasn't reported back yet, it shouldn't take that long to evaluate someone, but then again, I'm not in any hurry.
Moze grabbed me by the hips and shoved my entire length down her throat. She continued to do that rapidly that almost sending me over the edge as my groan and shiver threatened to make themselves known, but I fought down with my sheer force of will.
If I were any typical teenager, I would've busted after thirty seconds as her head was simply that fucking amazing. It felt like nutting without actually nutting, and Im honestly surprised I lasted this long against Moze's magical throat.
Moze growled in frustration which caused vibrations around my dick, making me grip the edges of the workbench harder enough that my fingers dented into them.
Like music to my ears, she made another popping sound. Moze looked at me with an intense glare that would've made any man cower in fear, but me?
I smirked. "Something wrong?"
Her glare sharpened.
"You know damn fucking well what's wrong!!!" She snapped at me
"Oh, do I? Perhaps you should remind me just in case I can be kinda dense at times," I said with false ignorance.
"Bull fucking shit!! You know what you're doing, and it's pissing me off! So why don't you do us both a favor and let it out already?! We both know you want to," she said while licking the tip like a lollipop. She's not wrong, but seeing her get worked up is amusing.
"Hmm, I don't know. It's kinda cute watching you struggle so much," that response caused Moze to growl. "But since Im so generous, I guess I can indulge this once, but next time, you'll have to earn it," I winked at her.
"You cocky motherfucker," was the last thing she said before she went to town on my member.
Ten minutes passed all that could be heard was slurping, gagging, and moaning, surprisingly though most of it was coming from Moze as she was getting really into it.
A minute later and I feel my end is about to come, so I increase my sensitivity to the max.
"Fuck!!!" I said through gritted teeth as I was overwhelmed with pleasure. I looked down to see a smug smile on Moze, so when Im about to bust, I grabbed her head with both hands and rammed my dick down her throat.
As soon as I cummed, I could hear Moze choking, but she didn't do anything to gain air. Instead, she grabbed my ass and pulled herself further to ensure she got every drop of my seed.
A moment later, she pulled back and gasped for air, but her smug smile never left.
"Wow, I didn't know you'd be that into suffocating yourself," I said with a smirk.
She looked at me, still heavily breathing and smiling.
"What could I say? You taste good," she replied with a wink.
I chuckled lightly.
"Thanks," I then put my pants back on. "Imma go check on Pyrrha and see how Lily is doing. Wanna come with me?"
Moze shrugged her shoulders. "Sure, why not."
Momo Affection- 80/100
What the fuck?
Momo POV
After a bit of reading, I went down to the basement to work on a personal project of mine. Once I was down there, I was about to enter the workshop, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard gagging and slurping.
I slowly walked toward the entrance to take a tiny peek but immediately pulled back with a furious blush on my face.
I leaned back against the wall and had my hand on my chest, thinking about what I saw.
Im not ignorant when it comes to the concept of sex. Like any teenage girl, I had my moments of arousal, but they were relatively rare, and in those moments, I only relieved myself a few times.
When I saw a woman I'd never seen before going down on Rune's impressive manhood stirred something within me, and I felt my body heating up.
So being as sneaky as I could, I took another peek, and my insides became hotter.
My hand slowly went toward my nether regions, and since I was wearing a skirt, I had better access to my sex, and I slowly began to rub my slit and lightly bit my lips from the sensation. Two minutes later, I slowly slid to the ground as the pleasure I was beginning to become too much for my shaky legs to handle.
A few minutes later, Rune began moaning, causing my high arousal to skyrocket, and making me accelerate my speed.
However, my climax was nearing, and so was he if his curse were to indicate anything. A few moments later, we both reach our point and cum simultaneous
[Lemon end]
It was difficult to stay quiet, but I managed, and by the end, I was heavily breathing.
"Imma go check on Pyrrha and see how Lily is doing. Wanna come with me?" I quickly but quietly left the basement.
Rune POV
(Six days later)
The following six days passed, and there were several developments. The first one was I got over a few hundred recruits. Most of them were homeless, but I didn't give a fuck help was help!
I made sure to cure them of diseases, disorders, physical injuries, or anything else that would prevent them from completing their duties. The next thing was that Pyrrha and I gave them all auras and schedules.
While this was going down, the recruits were in awe of the place, the tech, the droids, their newfound superhuman capabilities, and Thel.
Next up, I cast spells on them that made it impossible for them to betray me in any way.
The second thing was that I had a date with Pyrrha, which was terrific, and she was the one that asked, which surprised me, but I wasn't complaining. However, we would wait to go on a date until we got everything settled.
The third was that Sona was suspicious of us, not that Im surprised by it, but if she's going to have her peerage members keep an eye on the four of us, they should be a little more discrete about it.
Seriously I have at least one of their members in all my classes now, and the same for the others.
And we noticed them watching us like hawks during lunch and when we leave the school grounds.
The fourth was that the first batch of Dragonborns was created, and their appearance still resembled a Sangheili, but they had scales and retractable wings.
In total, there were a thousand of them, so I had to do a little bit of expansion, and what I mean by expanding is the basement has several levels below it that are used as barracks.
Now it was a Friday; we had everything settled as Thel was in charge of training the recruits with several of the Dragonborn alongside him and had several of them do other essential tasks.
"Now, sleep," I said before my whole body hit the bed.
It was five in the fucking morning when I finally finished the shit I needed to do, and there was no way in fucking hell I was going to school.
Sona can bitch at me all she wants on Monday morning. I could really care less because as soon as I have what I want there, the four of us are dropping out of that fucking school.
"Mind if I join you," Huh didn't know Pyrrha could be so brave.
I slowly turned around to look at Pyrrha, leaning against my doorway.
I smirked. "Already trying to get into my pants, Red? You naughty girl," I said teasingly, causing the redhead to blush furiously.
"N-No, it's not like that!!" She said frantically.
I chuckled. "Im kidding. But sure you can join me."
She huffed in annoyance but quickly got over it and walked over to the bed, and snuggled up against me.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her body closer to mine before laying my chin on her head.
"I didn't know you were the cuddling type," Pyrrha said while getting extra comfortable.
"Cuddling is one of my favorite things to do," I began to caress her beautiful red hair.
She seemed to like it as she hummed in contentment.
"What are your other favorite things to do?"
"Gaming, fighting, drawing, and fucking," I answered honestly.
She lightly giggled. "I figured that last part but drawing? I never figured you for an artist."
My smile vanished, and I stopped caressing her hair.
"Ru?" She looked at me with thoughs beautiful emerald eyes with concern on her features. "Ru, is everything ok?" I snapped out of it and replied. "Yeah, just thinking about my old life. Thats all, but yeah, I draw, or I used to when I was a kid."
"What happened?"
"T-Thats a story for another time... let's go to bed, alright?"
"Oh, um, ok...you know you can always talk to me, right? You're not alone anymore," she said, placing her hand on my cheek.
I put my hand on hers. "I know Im just not ready yet. When I am, I'll tell you."
"Promise?"
"I promise," I gave her a small reassuring smile.
"Good. Now go to bed. You don't wouldn't wanna be late for that date, would you?" She said with a wink before giggling lightly.
I chuckled. "No, I wouldn't," I kissed Pyrrha's forehead and then closed my eyes. "Rest well, Red."
"You too, Ru."
It was now 8 pm, and I was waiting for Pyrrha by her door. I wasn't wearing too fancy nor too casual either.
Im wearing a bright red bomber jacket, white t-shirt, loose black pants, and combat boots.
Her door opened, and I couldn't help but stare at her as she looked stunning.
Pyrrha wore a loose crimson red sweater that exposed her shoulder, a medium-length black shirt, black leggings, and red heels. She also had her down, which I loved.
"Wow, you look amazing," I complimented.
She lightly blushed but smiled. "Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself."
I smirked. "So shall we go, my lady?" I asked while offering my hand.
"Let's," she then grabbed my hand.
My date with Pyrrha was even greater than I anticipated, as I never wanted it to end. I took her out to a nice restaurant that was nearby our area. We talked for hours about various things, such as ourselves, hobbies, favorite foods, and other shit you'd usually talk about to get to know a person better.
The food at the restaurant was pretty good, and so was the dessert. After that, we walked around the town while holding hands and talking.
I smirked at the many jealous glares I received from many of the men that we walked by, and Pyrrha received the same from the women.
It was amusing, but we soon ignored them and enjoyed each other's company. We eventually found ourselves in the park where I faded Issei, and we sat by the fountain.
Pyrrha rested her head on my shoulder.
"I had a wonderful time Ru," she said happily.
"Me too," I rested my head on hers.
"So..."
"So..."
"What are we?" Pyrrha said, lifting her head to look me straight with hopeful eyes.
Instead of replying to her, I gently placed my hand on her cheek, and I leaned in, capturing her lips with my own. To my surprise and joy, she tasted like strawberries which were my favorite type of fruit, so I deepened the kiss further.
Pyrrha completely melted into the kiss and let out a small moan, then wrapped her arms around my neck. She then pulled me in closer while grabbing a fist of my hair, and she continued to let out low moans.
Our passionate make-out session lasted a few more minutes until we had to break off the kiss, much to our displeasure.
Both of us were breathing heavily.
"Does that answer your question, my crimson goddess" I rested my head against hers.
She lightly giggled. "It does, my red dragon."
We stayed like that, content with the silence and each other's company. However, it didn't last long as I felt an ominous present near us.
"Awe isn't that just adorable," a male voice mockingly said.
We both snapped our necks toward the voice to see a figure who wore a black robe and had a hood over his head, completely hiding his face.
I tried to observe him, but nothing showed up. I was now extremely cautious.
"Who are you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
I was prepared to teleport Pyrrha away the second shit hit the fan as I don't know what this man is capable of, and I won't risk her getting hurt or, worse, getting killed.
"Oh, who I am ain't important, but who sent me well is," he replied cryptically.
Ive never seen him before in the anime or manga, so...oh shit, it can't be him, couldn't it?
"The Ancient One."
The figure chuckled. "Not bad, kid. Not many of the chosen could figure that out so quickly."
"What does he want?"
"The same thing he always wants. Entertainment and Im heard to entertain our creator," he said darkly.
Fuck!
He then looks at Pyrrha. "So will she be joining us, or will she be leaving? You have ten seconds to decide."
"I'll-" I quickly cut her off.
"She'll be going," that statement caused her to grip my hand tightly and look at me with worry.
"Im not leaving you!!" She argued.
I looked at her with a sharp glare. "Yes, you are. It isn't a discussion. It's an order," I said coldly.
Pyrrha saw red and said. "FUCK YOU!!! IM NOT LEAVING YOUR SIDE!!"
Wow, hearing her curse is kind of hot, not gonna lie.
"Anytime now," the man said in an annoyed tone.
Pyrrha turn looked at him. "FUCK OFF!!" she then looked at me. "Im staying whether you like it or not!! Thats what partners do!"
I chuckled. "It's pretty hot seeing you like this..."
My comment caused her to blush lightly.
"But as I said, it wasn't a discussion," before she could reply, I teleport her back to base.
Pyrrha can be pissed off all she wants with me later. I'd prefer that over her being dead.
"Oof, your little girlfriend, is gonna be pissed," the figure commented in an amused tone.
I shrugged my shoulders. "This is my fight, not hers."
"Not to her, but thats none of my business. Anyways back to why Im here. The Ancient one has noticed how quickly you've grown and how comfortable you've gotten, which bores him but luckily, Im here to keep you on your toes," the figure said cheerily.
"What do you mean?"
"Every hundred levels, me and you will throw hands. If you win, I'll reward you, but if you lose, I'll take away half your progress," this caused my eyes to widen astronomically.
Oh fuck, no!!
"Win or not, you'll also have to fight the servants of the Ancient One while you continue to grow in strength. The only place where you and your allies are safe is your home, any property you own, Kuoh Academy, and Heaven. Everywhere else is a free game," he explained.
At least I won't constantly be fighting like the doom slayer. That would've been a fucking nightmare.
I sighed. "Alright, let's get this started."
The figure took off his robes, exposing himself. He was a deathly pale, thirty-year-old-looking man with silver hair, blood red eyes, a body that would make the top bodybuilders in the world jealous, and was covered in strange tattoos.
"Go ahead and observe me," the pale said with a grin.
I don't like that smile!
Level- Irrelevant Rank-Irrelevant Health- 55890000 Magic- 22356000 Stamina- 67608000 STR- 5589000 END- 11178000 DEX- 5589000 INT- 3102000 WIS- 11178000 CHA- 210000 LUK- 2500000
Most of his stats are three times greater than mine, except for his intelligence, charisma, and luck.
I sighed.
Fuck you, Ancient One!
Mission
Objective: Beat the pale man
Reward: ??? EXP (High) Loot rarity (High) Ancient Tokens (100000)
The pale man chuckled. "Are you ready Red Dragon Emperor?" He got into a fighting stance. "Because I know I am."
I transformed into my Scale Mail and got into a stance of my own.
His grin went down feral. "I like the look...now SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!!!"
Within a few seconds, he was a few feet away from me, and his fist was mere inches away from my face. I quickly ducked and went to uppercut him, but I was kicked several feet away before I could land it.
I quickly recovered and rushed toward him. He did the same, and once we were near each other, we sent our fists toward one another. When our fists collided, it created a massive shockwave that destroyed the ground beneath us and the entire fountain as it was shattered into thousands of pieces.
The shockwave sounded like thunder on steroids, and it echoed throughout the skies. I sighed internally as Im pretty sure the supernatural world felt the power admitting from the both of us and will come to investigate soon, so I have to end this quick or take this fight somewhere else.
He went for a left hook, but I ducked again, but this time I tackled his ass to the ground and used my right fist on his face, landing blows powerful enough to crack the ground beneath his head.
I managed to get ten good licks within two seconds before he caught my fist and punched me off him. I landed on the ground, and I was about to get up, but I was spun around to receive the nasty naruto combo as I was now up in the skies. Then I took another punch to the face that sent my ass to the other side of japan in less than five seconds.
I ended up landing on top of a mountain, but I wasn't on for very long as the pale picked me up and threw me back toward the ground, but I stopped my descent by using my wings.
I took out the Blade of Olympus and the Crucible. I then flew back toward the pale man and was able to react fast enough to block his kick with my swords.
"Oh, we gonna be playing like that, huh?!! Then I guess I'll pull this out!" He pulled out a massive black sword and swung it down at me.
The force was significant enough to send me back to the ground. When I landed, I created a small crater. I quickly got back up to block a sword swing that sent me a few feet away.
Jesus fucking christ, how many more times do I need to boost to get on equal grounds with this guy?!!!
So far, he's been yeeting my ass for most of this fight, and it's beginning to piss me off!
I wonder what would happen if I transformed into my Dragonoid form while using the booster gear.
It could be awesome or disastrous, but I won't try it just yet because Im pretty sure the jackass won't wait for me to power up like thoughs dumbass Saiyans or most anime protagonists.
No, I'll have to wait for the perfect time as this guy isn't giving me any space as he's continuing to swing that blade at me like a madman, but they aren't wild, however.
They're incredibly accurate and powerful swings that any swordsmen would envy.
I eventually managed to stop his assault and kicked him in the balls hard enough I could literally hear his balls pop.
The kick sent a few away, but his eyes began to glow violently, and the thing I know, the Crucible was knocked out of my hand. I then received a headbutt hard enough that it cracked my helmet, and I received an energy blast to the chest.
I was tumbling on the ground for a few moments, but it stopped eventually. However, before I could recover, the pale man grabbed the back of my head and then slammed my face to the ground.
He continued to slam my face to the ground for twenty seconds straight before I got tired of it and summoned the Butcher, then shot the fucker in the face.
He stumbled backward, and I used Black Whip to hold him in place while unloading a fuck ton of shotgun rounds into his face causing blood and meat to fly everywhere.
However, I soon realized this fucker had a regenerative healing factor!
Just fucking fantastic!!
Hopefully, it's not Deadpool levels of regeneration but if it is, then fuck.
I screamed in pain as I felt something gigantic pierce my thigh, and I looked down to see it was a fucking spike!!
Then another pierced the arm I was holding the Butcher in, and soon enough, my hold on the shotgun loosened.
The pale man let out a sigh of relief before his gaze locked on me and grinned like a madman.
"Not looking so good there, Eli," the man mocked.
I growled. "Fuck you, and thats not my name anymore."
He chuckled at my response and walked toward me. I guess I'll have to use my Dragonoid form, as there's no way im going to beat him in my current state, so I transformed.
The pale man's eyes widened when I grew several feet tall and into a giant reptile covered head to toe in the Scale Mail.
Oh, this is going to be fun.
I pulled my arm and leg out of the spikes, and they immediately began to heal at impressive speeds. I looked at the bastard with a toothy grin.
Not the only one with a regenerative healing bitch!
I shot a massive elemental blast at the pale man. Unfortunately, he evaded the attack, but that didn't discourage me from turning our area into smithereens as the bastard kept slipping past my blasts while attempting to close the distance between us.
Once he got close enough, he went for a roundhouse kid, but I grabbed him, then slammed him down to the ground, repeated. I then wrapped the pale man with Black Whip as tightly as possible.
He tried to impale me again with thoughs stupid ass spikes, but the moment they made contact with my body, they shattered like glass.
I inwardly smirked. I had the pale man face me, then I grabbed him by the shoulders and blasted him with my elemental breath. After a few moments, I stopped and saw his entire head was gone.
I dropped his dead body to the ground, and I went back to my human form. I leaned against a tree, closed my eyes, and sighed heavily.
Fuck I can still feel the pain.
Ugh, this sucks ass.
"Welp, guess I lost," my eyes shot wide open to see the pale man regenerating his head back.
"Are you fucking serious?" I looked at him incredulously.
He smirked. "Kid, the way I can die is if the Ancient One wishes it, so until then, im eternal," he explained. "Now, time for your reward!!"
"But you're still alive, so wouldn't it mean the fight is still on?"
He shook his head in amusement.
"No, as I said earlier, you only needed to beat me. I never specifically stated that you needed to kill me to win."
"Uh, ok. So what's the reward?" I asked, wanting to get this over with and go home as I was pretty sure everyone was worried as fuck about me right now, especially Pyrrha.
Oh god, Im going to get an earful when I get home.
"A new ability, of course!!" He said cheerily.
Will empowerment (Ability)
Description: The more willpower you have, the great your physical capabilities will become, and you're able to ignore an immense amount that would normally put you down for the count.
-Physical capabilities and pain tolerance increase by two every ten seconds.
Well fuck.
"Hope you like it~," he said with a grin.
"Yeah, I like it," I stood up. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading home."
"By all means, don't let me stop you," he turned around but slightly turned his head to look at me. "Have fun with the girlfriend," he gave the peace sign before vanishing into thin air.
I sighed im not looking forward to fighting him again, but at least I got to keep my power.
With a wrist flick, I teleported back home.
Azrael POV
The fight finally ended between the two fighters, as the Red Emperor Dragon leaned against a tree after defeating his enemy, but much to his and my surprise, the man, was completely unharmed.
I listened carefully to their conversation. I only heard bits and pieces, but I managed to learn that the pale man was immortal that served an individual only known as the Ancient One and that the man granted the boy a new ability that was unknown to me.
However, from the looks of the mystery man, it must have been pretty powerful.
After they finished their short conversation, they both disappeared, leaving me to my thoughts.
My thoughts were primarily on the boy with the Boosted gear. My thoughts on the boy were what he was and what happened to the Longinus, it looked different, and it felt tremendously more powerful than before.
Did it evolve, or was that boy responsible for it? If it was the latter, then thats an even bigger reason to find him.
He looked pretty young, probably seventeen years old, so he most likely goes to school. The only problem is which one.
Another thing that interested me about the boy was his weapons, particularly his two swords. One looked demonic, while the other looked divine, and his shotgun was nothing to scoff at either.
What really interested me was that he could transform into a Dragonoid. Was he half dragon, or was it a new ability of the Boosted gear?
So many questions that I needed answered, but first, I needed to find the boy.
Hey, everyone hope you liked the chapter! Also, feel free to suggest who should hatch from the dragon eggs and who should be in Rune's harem. Just Pm me. It can be any female character from any cartoon, anime, tv show, etc.
However, I'll only take a few recommendations, but other than that, here are the current girls that will be a part of his harem so far.
Harem: Pyrrha (main girl), Moze, Momo, Lily (OC), Rias, Rossweisse, Serafall, Sona, Akeno, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Ravel, Raynare, Xenovia, Gabriel
