To all who read this. At the bottom is a message for those who are interested. Mirin
"Two Pawns of Riser are out." Sirsechs announced as the dust settled.
"Holy shit." I thought it was a Balance Breaker that supposedly destroyed the walls of Jericho!" Atlas yelled in glee as he saw the raw destruction of the Canary Overkill. "Reya, we are fighting against fire birds, drop the wind barrier, otherwise we will burn to death."
"Understood!" She yelled out before dropping the barrier.
Half an hour passed since the use of the Sacred Gear. Two of Rider's Pawns succumbed to the splinters of the trees that pierced their bodies.
Tomoe, Irina and Atlas just got ready to leave their spots to engage in duels, Tsubaki used an earth based magic spell to get Raynare an elevated spot and the others readied themselves for defensive magic. "Let's go." Irina ordered as she ran ahead, followed by Tomoe and Atlas.
"Lint, what is going on?" Sona asked as she concentrated on her hands.
"Atlas gave Ruruko a sacred gear that destroyed the entire forest in front of them. It even killed two Pawns of Riser." The silver haired girl with black spots in her hair, answered.
The King just smiled, he is actually keeping his part of the deal. "Say, what happened in Eden. The only way to survive was love. Michael loved the humans, since it was his job, Irina loved her future daughter. Bikou and Kuroka loved each other. So, how did Atlas and you survive in there if he can't love and you don't like anything enough to love it?" Sona didn't see it, but the knight behind her turned completely red and covered her face.
"We spent the twenty days before Eden together. We had to. It was the only way for me and him to survive. A second before teleporting there, we kissed. Atlas felt lust, I felt love. Lust can't replace love in low doses, so we had to engage in...sexual intercourse to keep his lust on the highest level." For weird reasons, Sona completely understood that. It was the most logical thing. She would have done the same thing in Atlas' position.
Sona just shook her head. Atlas was nothing but a devil who acted by the future...
He read the book of future in an emotional state, that's what Irina meant. He was possessed by the future just like Irina.
So many things made sense now.
The Bible was nothing but a fantasy book. Well the Bible that was sold everywhere.
But the Bible of Atlas was different. It held secrets far beyond human comprehension.
Maps to the different realms, the most feared spells of the strongest mythologies, a book of the true history, a record of the entire war and a book that reveals the future.
Atlas wasn't just any mage. He might even be the strongest mage if he would go all out.
But it didn't matter how strong he was or how many holy flames he could use to burn devils.
She couldn't fear him.
He did all this just for a family. To be a part of her family.
"Fuck you, you little cock sucking whore!" Atlas yelled before throwing six sharp cards at Rider's temporary Bishop, Ravel.
"I told you, I am not fighting you!" She yelled back while blocking the cards with fire.
"And I told you to fuck you!" Again Atlas threw cards at her and again she blocked them with magic but as soon as the fire disappeared he was gone. "Surprise!"
Ravel just jumped back and fell with her ass into the dirt before being pierced by a holy sword wielded by Tomoe. "I love this sword!" She roared out in joy before blocking an incoming fist strike. "You are next! Get her Anastasia!" As if the sword reacted to her command.
A perfect, thin light blue blade with a hilt covered in white bandages. A simple sword with the soul of Anastasia, daughter of tsar Nikolas the second, trapped inside of it.
Irina was simply blocking spell after spell, toying with her pray while her black katana was simply dancing in her hand. The red techno pattern on the blade mesmerizing even the wielder herself. Three Pawns using everything they had against her and yet she parried every spell. "Is this all you have? Block this!" She screamed out at them before swinging her sword at them and sending a wave of energy at the girls.
"One Rook, One Bishop and three Pawns of Riser's Peerage gone." Tomoe just smirked and high fived Irina while Atlas' eyes widened.
His face warm, his hair pushed to the back and his iris expanded. "One Knight and one Pawns of Sona were defeated."
In front of him was nothing but a crater in the ground. Across it stood Riser's queen. "I am sorry if I hurt your lovers, but I couldn't care less."
"Tsubaki! Atlas needs help! Let me and Tsubasa aid him!" Genshirou yelled out while the girl shook her head.
She couldn't hear him nor see him. "He is facing the queen of Riser. He is out even before saying his first spell." Ruruko threw in.
"Fine. Saji, Tsubasa. Help him." She ordered while the two students ran off. "Now only Raynare remains as our defense."
Two knights, one Rook, one Bishop, three Pawns and the Queen.
That's all that was left.
Two of the girls carried swords while the last girl was a chinese fighter.
Definitely the Rook and the Knights. "Genshirou." Tsubasa spoke as she looked around.
"We walked into a trap, didn't we?" The boy asked only to see a yellow light flicker up.
"Four Pawns and one Rook of Sona left the battlefield."
"Your team is losing and you are really helpful in that matter." Another orb was shot at Atlas sending him flying to the back a few meters.
The boy just spat out blood and tried standing up while Yubelluna simply walked over to him and repeated the entire process.
"This will hurt more than the drop of holy water." The 'Bomb Queen' spoke out making him chuckle.
"Are you still mad because of that? You still won that rating game. And I don't give a shit about your health." Atlas stood up again only for an explosion to go off in front of him.
Two more explosions and he would be out.
What would they think of him if he lost to the weakest queen there is.
"Stand up you lazy boy." Penelope spoke while he gritted his teeth.
Her hand softly caressed his cheek.
Not another explosion. "Leave Pene-..."
He heard it... This yell of pain... He heard it before...
He carefully looked up only to see Penelope's body laying on the ground. "You hurt her." He whispered out as he stood up ignoring the pain in his body and stumbled past the Queen.
"Who was that?" She asked as she saw the girl laying on the ground. Her hand burned and her body slowly fading.
He fell on his knees and took the girl in his arms. "Penelope?" Atlas asked as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Hey wake up. It's just a scratch."
No one has ever seen him so emotional.
He was crying...
"Who is that?" Issei asked while Michael looked at the girl in Atlas' arms before losing a tear.
"That's Penelope, Atlas' first best friend and his holy spirit." The man answered as he looked at her body fading slowly away.
Everyone just looked at the Paimon. No one has ever seen him losing a single tear, and now he was actually crying.
"She had nothing to do-" Never has ever someone seen it. Since Valgan Paimon, no one had it.
As beautiful as the nights itself it rose from his lower back and danced around behind him. It was almost as long as he was tall, the pointy tip of it looking just like the tip of an arrow, but the edges reflected the light perfectly, indicating its extreme sharpness.
His eyes turned from a deep purple into the darkest violet everyone has ever seen. From the back of his head four horns grew around his head, all growing like a crown towards his forehead.
Everyone, be it inside of the arena or outside, was surprised by the fact that he carried an extra pair of wings on his back, shooting out eight wings.
His skin turned slowly darker in an almost demonic manner while his upper two canines grew over his lips, scratching them open.
"What is that?" Falbium asked surprised as he looked at Atlas completely ignoring his surroundings while holding his best friend.
Ajuka just looked down at the boy with wide eyes and then sighted. "The first pillar heads where the most feared beings. No emotions, no sense of regret or empathy. Insane beasts of destruction. The first Paimon was able to see souls through his eyes and steal them, as well as life force or organs. Full control of the Eye of Theft. It is said that Valgan's power was sealed into a weapon that God and the four Satan's used to steal the souls of the two, heavenly dragons."
"He is a third generation devil. They weren't far away from madness. It took the devils more than twenty generations to get the war mind out of their heads." Serafall explained as she looked at the boy. "If he learns how to control the power, then he might be able to kill the Boosted Gear and the Divine Dividing."
Her body stopped fading away. She just laid there.
He wasn't a monster. He was the good guy. An insane psychopath, but still better than most of the Khaos Brigade. But no one touched Penelope, she was the person he protected the most.
And yet there she laid.
He needed to end this. Riser was doomed the moment he ordered his Queen to attack.
Atlas stood up and looked at her. A smirk on her face. His eyes were pulsating and his heart was jumping in anger.
The woman lifted her hand for another spell, but the tail was faster.
With an immense speed it shot right through her throat and was out as quick as it was in.
"The Queen of Riser was defeated."
No one saw something. In the distance they could make out Atlas' figure and a woman dropping dead on the ground before vanishing.
He didn't move but the woman still died. How? And were these black umbrellas his wings?
"What is going on there?" Momo asked only to feel a sharp pain entering her back. "Grhh" She groaned out in pain, before falling to the ground and vanishing.
"Tsubaki! An ambush!" Raynare yelled before throwing a spear on the ground, blocking a sword from striking the queen.
"Two Bishops of Sona left the arena."
Atlas looked at three figures moving toward their base. His eye magic shining bright and multiple seals formed in front of his eyes like a telescope.
At first he vanished, then the air around him became lighter and in a loud air explosion everything flew away from his former spot.
Ni, Li and Shuriya. Three Pawns that didn't see him coming.
Out of nowhere standing in the middle of them.
He grabbed the neck of the brazilian dancer while his tail swiftly cut through the throat of the blue haired nekomata.
His eyes already directed at the last Pawn that still could flee.
Shuriya fought against his grip but he simply lifted her up and threw her with all his force on the ground, breaking her neck and spine.
His tail wrapped around the last member's foot and pulled her towards him to let her fall. His arms pinning down hers, his legs pinning down her thighs. His tail wrapping around the throat and slowly starting to suffocate her.
"Sona's and Riser's Pawns are out."
They already arrived at the hideout. Lint and Tsubaki were the only ones standing there.
His eyes still glowing and making out a house in the distance.
Atlas disappeared again in the same manner before landing in front of the house holding the wooden plank of the porch.
His eyes closed and he shook his head. "Enough is enough." His wings retreated and his skin became lighter in colour. His eyes turned back into the warm purple they were and his canines shrinked back to their normal size.
His hands ordered the proverbs and his book listened. "Proverbs four, Get wisdom at any cost."
He opened the door and started reading. "Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching." Perfect, fluent ancient Egyption. The mythology that claimed the Phoenix as their creation were Greeks. "For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he said to me, Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live."
Wrong. The mythology that first introduced an immortal firebird were the Egyptians. "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." His eyes white as the snow, his skin as hot as magma, his breath as toxic as the poison of a cobra. "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you."
"Queen of Sona was defeated as well as the Rook of Riser."
Two knights against a disabled King and a knight afraid of her own powers? "She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown. Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many." The air around him became thick and suffocating. The lights flickered and with every word Atlas' heart became heavier. "I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life."
Everyone watching was in awe. The words Atlas was saying were muted, censored, disabled and that just for the safety of the devil realm.
Irina and Tomoe were just watching with wide eyes as Atlas continued on praying and entered the room of Riser where he was greeted by the older man.
"Kill him." Irina ordered while looking at the display.
"Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." Atlas finished the chapter while Riser laughed.
"I've won. My knights should-..."
"Amen."
End
So. I have a message for my dear readers.
Maybe it's a confession, I have no idea.
Anyways,
This story started as a wild idea. What if there was a guy who would be a total asshole and has the ability to steal.
That was the entire idea behind it and the point from where I actually wanted to start begins now after the Rating Rame with Riser.
That's the reason why I basically shoved season 1, 2 and 3 into 30-35 chapters.
I feel like I outdid myself with this story. I love writing it, I love my OC and the character developments I did on those who needed it.
I love the abilities I came up with, I love that I managed to make an oc who is not a Gary Stu.
For those who don't know it, I basically came up with the ideas while writing the chapter.
The only think I ever really planed out was from Diodorah's betrayal to the kyouto arc. And I have a set plant for this. I will go through with this plan too.
Thanks to those who sticked to the story and fuck you first reviewer. I still have no idea what you wrote. It looked like you had a stroke.
