Koneko 3rd POV
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at what's happening now; the first thing Deven decided to do after lifting the curse was to go and beat Kumiko. She thought that was understandable, but she felt like there's something wrong with all of this. Like how Kumiko's attitude toward Deven suddenly changed.
"Senpai" called Koneko "I feel like we're missing something"
"The only thing I'm missing is teaching that bitch a lesson" replied Deven.
"Please senpai, try to find what happened" said Koneko before stopping "Maybe… maybe we should just go back now… I have a bad feeling"
"There's nothing to fear Koneko" replied Deven, turning to look at her with confidence in his eyes "I don't have the curse anymore"
"But don't forget her knowledge of talismans and charm papers" countered Koneko "Attacking her in her own territory would be suicidal"
Deven was about to say something when he used his Lawbringer form to block a slash from Freed.
"Glad to see me again, you shitty devils?" asked the mad priest.
"You couldn't have appeared on a better time" growled Deven "I feel like I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed a voice, revealing the Greek warrior "How!? How did they forgive themselves?!" he sobbed a little "If only I had broken her legs, she wouldn't have given him the way to remove Lord Hades's curse" he then looked calm before grinning madly "Not a problem to me. Awaken! Blade of Olympus!" dark clouds appeared in the sky.
"Koneko, run" ordered Deven "Get away as far as possible"
"But-"
"Don't worry about me, just go away" he then sighed "And if you see her, tell her that we need to talk"
"But-"
"Go!" yelled Deven, causing her to teleport away.
"How cliche" commented Betherode "A knight trying to protect children. But, don't think that you stand a chance against me. Without that girl's help, you'll fall, like the previous ones"
Deven's grip on his weapon became tighter as he understood everything and his plan.
-Scene change: Kumiko's apartment-
Kumiko 3rd POV
In her apartment, Kumiko, along with the rest of Vali's team Lifain and Li Niang included, were looking at a young blue haired elf who was wolfing on the food in front of him.
"So… what should we do?" asked Arthur, not sure of the actions that he needs to take with him.
"Honestly, I don't know," replied Vali.
"He's really hungry" pointed Li Niang with a nervous smile.
"Looks like the lad was in a cave fer years" added Lifain.
"But he possesses an incredible magical aura around him" said Kumiko before holding her hand at her mouth and rushed to the toilets.
"Is she alright?" asked Arthur.
"She has been like that for sometime now" explained Li Niang with a worried expression "She passes sometimes throwing up in the toilets, eats a lot… I wonder if she should go to a hospital"
"I wonder…" stated Arthur while looking at Vali who was blushing and looking away.
"Is that so?" teased Lifain with a grin.
"You lucky bastard" added Bikou.
"Is something wrong?" asked Li Niang innocently.
"Nothing is wrong," answered Arthur while massaging his eyes.
"Sorry about that" said Kumiko while whipping her mouth, she then saw how both Bikou and Lifain were looking at her with a weird grin "What"
"Nothing…" they both said while turning away.
"Now" said Kumiko while walking toward the elf "Who are you?"
The elf looked at her and said "Sorry, my name is Glarion, I'm…"
"My son" interrupted Albion, shocking the ones present.
"Father?" asked the young elf while looking at the wings coming from Vali's back "So you've really fallen"
Albion stayed silent for a moment before saying "How about your mother? Is she well?"
"She died" replied Glarion "It's been 5 years since she died, killed by the fallens"
"I'm sorry to hear that" said Albion "If only I was present, I could have protected her"
"There's nothing you could have done" assured Glarion "You were trapped as a sacred gear"
"Still…" from the tone of his voice it's apparent that Albion was sad to hear what happened.
"Does that mean that you're a dragon?" asked Li Niang with stars in her eyes.
"I'm only half dragon" corrected Glarion "My mother was an elf"
"Half dragon" muttered Arthur "Does that mean that you can breathe fire?"
Glarion nodded "I can, but my physical capacities are low. The only thing that's great about me is my magical abilities"
"Now we have a chance to do what we couldn't do" said Vali with a sigh.
"We couldn't have predicted that Tiamat would try to destroy it" replied Arthur.
"It doesn't matter now" said Vali "We need to show him the anvil"
Glarion looked at Kumiko, then at her belly "Oh, it's a girl"
"What?" was all that Kumiko said.
POV- DEVEN
"HOW!?"
"What?"
"HOW DID YOU GET HER TO HELP YOU!?"
"Who? The samurai? She was not the one to break the curse. In fact I was just on my way to kick her ass."
"WHO DID IT THEN? THAT CURSE WAS MADE BY LORD HADES HIMSELF!"
"If you must know, It was the Curse Breaker Dragon"
"THE CURE BREAKER DRAGON!?"
"Yup, enough talk. I want revenge. "Balance breaker"
Devens form changed into the menacing knight in black armor. "Come and face death" Betherode gritted his teeth, but he would never turn down a fight. "You are a bigger fool than I thought." Betherode charged
With his sword. Deven raised his and they clashed. Deven pushed him back and slashed repeatedly, Betherode blocking them all but just barely. Deven summoned his kite shield and bashed Betherode hard. The greek soldier tumbling back. Betherode stood back up as Deven approached, his armor scratched and dented. Betherode charged again, every strike blocked by the shield. Deven swung his sword, knocking the weapon from the greeks hand. He bashed him with his shield, knocking him onto his back. Deven held his blade to his throat. "Do you yield?" Freed was sneaking up behind the knight, he raised his excalibur…..*CLANG* Deven turned around and eyed the rogue exorcist. "...well shit" Deven smirked under his helmet. "I'm not the only one who's pissed." Deven snapped his fingers and Tiamat appeared behind Freed. "You're going to pay for hurting my master"
"IMPOSSIBLE! YOU HAVE THE CHAOS KARMA DRAGON AS YOUR FAMILIAR!?"
"Yes, now surrender or die"
"I know better than to fight the Chaos Karma dragon. Know this knight. When my master comes here, Not even that dragon bitch can save you!" Freed threw a flash and they escaped.
Deven looked to his familiar. "We need to find that samurai". His balance breaker burst into black particles and he resumed his Lawbringer form.
