Chapter Seventeen: Fairy curses, Beasty trainers, and Strange reapers? What's next?!
The Void Emperor
As I walked behind an injured Saji, I suddenly felt a spike in power from somewhere across town. Now while this had been going on all day, this time it was something different. This time the power actually belonged to someone friendly. Although it certainly didn't feel friendly to anyone at the moment. Apparently my kitten seemed to pick up on it rather quickly. Although when she spoke up about it she sounded confused.
"That power… is it Chirno's?" At her words everyone stopped walking to try and get a fix on the strong energy. However seeing how this might cause some confusion, I decided to answer Shirone's question.
"That was indeed Chirno, although I wonder what happened to get her so worked up. Probably nothing good…"
At my answer Kiba quickly questioned me. "Um… not to doubt you or Ko-Shirone but… When has Chirno ever been this strong?" Every quickly turned to me for an answer causing me to sigh.
Still I answered them, just not in the way they expected. "Truthfully… she's always been this powerful. However… she's a fairy, in other words it takes quite a bit to motivate one to action." I then said something which made everyone look at me dumbfounded. "You know I really do hate most fairies… most of them are nothing but lazy magic users, which have no care beyond their own kind. Really our two fairies are wonderful exceptions." I couldn't help but sigh again when I stopped talking.
"You seem to know a lot about fairies Booker." At her statement I turned to Xenovia as she continued. "Would you care to explain how you know about them?" I gave a hollow chuckle at her question but I still answered it.
"That's because I had to go on a diplomatic assignment to their home. Sure it was joint thing between the Yokai and Grigori. But it was still annoying as hell. Let's see now… it was a right after I recruited Sakuya, and there was an issue of a fallen and a tengu going over there to have a… well let's just call it private time. They were both caught so me and Baraqiel were sent to get them out." I couldn't help the shiver that went down my spine when I explained what happened next.
"We talked with King Oberon and guess what? He was displeased and turned me and Baraqiel into talking pigs! In the end we needed to have Ophis and Red threaten him into letting all of us go. And as I was there no one cared about anything! And I mean anything! There were some humans and other species, which they kept turning into random thing just for fun! Seriously fairies have no moral foundations. At least not in the way we have them, no they only think of the rest of us as playthings! Minus Rosalia and Chirno of course."
When I finished my story I saw everyone looking at me in pity and or curiosity. And of course Saji had to speak up first.
"Um… not to sound rude. But I have to ask, what did it feel like to be a pig?" Everyone turned to him and then to me waiting for an answer.
So with a sigh I answered the question. "It felt weird, I had a desire to go roll around in mud and eat slop. Thankfully I restrained myself; still I couldn't eat bacon for six whole months after that incident. Really I only eat it now is because I can't resist the taste or smell." Everyone gave me nods of understanding as Xenovia asked an interesting question.
"How was it that the king of the fairies turned you into a pig? Is he really that strong?"
I hummed for a moment before answering. "Well I wouldn't call him overwhelmingly strong… but he has fairy magic. Fairy magic is quite strange in the way it works. For example the way he was able to transform me into a pig, was by impressing his will onto my very being. In other words if my will had been stronger that wouldn't have happened to me. Basically that's how their magic works. Forcing their very will onto the world, so ever since then I've been upping my mental fortitude. I really don't want to experience that again!"
As everyone became silent Shirone walked up to me and just hugged me. "I'm sorry you had to go through that Ro Kun." With yet another sigh I hugged her back before thanking her.
"It's no fault of yours kitten. Still fairy magic is different than anyone else's. Trust me in this world there are quite a few kinds of magic. Draconic, devil, angel, divine, wizardry, Fairy, and too many to actually name. But out of all of them, only fairy magic can truly bend the laws of the world to do what their masters want. Sure devil magic is a close second. But fairy magic is just plain scary. Trust me fairy cruses are nothing to scoff about."
And with that our little conversation was over. Well at least it was for me, especially since I don't want to have to talk about fairies anymore. Seriously they catch you talking bad about them and they will curse you. And really… I don't want the Thomas the Rymer's curse thank you very much!
[Yeah we have enough to deal with already, without you rhyming the truth all the time.]
Don't I know it… but still what could upset Chirno this much? Really I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this… As Kuros agreed with me, I started moving again hoping that things would be alright. That was also when I felt a new presence in the area, something faint. Narrowing my eyes I stopped before closing them.
"What is he doing?"
"Shush! He's trying to sense something out sempai, so please shut up." I couldn't help but mentally chuckle at Shirone's berating of Saji. But I still needed to focus, because for some reason it was hard to get a read on this. Really it felt like death… yet I knew whatever I was sensing was alive. Eventually I pinpointed it and opened my eyes.
"There's a strange life signature a couple hundred yards to our right. However it also seems weakened, so my suggestion is that the lot of you go on. I'll take Shirone with me while Freed… wait where did he go? In fact where did Raynare go as well?" At my question we all turned around to try to find our wayward companions. We were unsuccessful…
'You know… they actually disappeared after you killed the Jersey Devil thing. I thought you noticed that?' I grumbled while saying a few choice words about Freed and Raynare. Although I did believe that Freed got bored, and dragged Raynare off somewhere to kill more things. They were quite similar in that regard, not the boredom thing, but the love of killing things thing. So sighing I turned back to the others.
"Alright never mind… You guys stay here and call for some backup. We have actually quite a few people in reserve for moments like this. I'll take Shirone with me to go and investigate whatever I'm sensing. Just don't die until I see any of you again." They all nodded and Kiba took out his phone to call someone, as for me and Shirone we left the area.
Alright let's just hope this doesn't turn out to be a trap.
[Kid with our luck it probably is…] With that cheerful thought, I followed my senses towards the source of the strange energy.
Whoever says that fairies are cute tiny creatures should die! The Line Break
The Icy Fairy (Chirno)
When Issei went down in a bleeding mess, I couldn't help but call out his name and run to his side. The other two were right behind me as I heard Fraz laugh a bit. Thankfully he wasn't attacking but he was getting on my nerves. Still I did my best to ignore him as I examined Ise Kun's wound. My thoughts on the matter were expressed quite well by Irina.
"This doesn't look good! He's losing a lot of blood and I can- OW!" Irina quickly pulled her hands back from trying to put pressure on the wound. Looking at her hands I could see that they were slightly red, as if she put them into boiling water. Being my curious self I couldn't help but touch Ise's blood before pulling my finger back.
Just what we needed… Ise Kun is starting to show more draconic traits… Shaking my head I quickly came up with another way to stop the bleeding. So with a bit of concentration I formed a dense yet thin layer of ice over his wound. However I made it snug enough that it acted like a bandage. I then turned to Kiryuu who looked rather distraught. She must be blaming herself for what happened. I then looked at her leg wound and did the same ice trick. She looked at me in surprise and was about to say something but I spoke first.
"Alright ladies I think we need a new game plan here. Kiryuu San here can't fight someone like this with her leg like this. And Ise needs true medical attention. However Kiryuu can't move him on her own right now. Which means…" I turned to Irina before continuing. "You'll need to take him and her back to "headquarters." Now while you're doing that I'll hold off Wiet Fraz."
Irina quickly argued about my plan. "We can't just leave you here! Remember Booker San said to never fight a Darkwraith or an Abysswalker by yourself."I nodded my head but still tried to get my point across.
"I know that but right now we don't have much of a choice. Ise can't fight and Kiryuu can't fight either. And you aren't as strong as I am, so the way I see it, is that you need to go with them. Just in case they run into more of those feared ones, however as soon as you're far enough away you can call for backup. Here take Ise Kun's phone, now go on!" I then stood up and turned around, because really I didn't want any arguments here.
Did I have any misgivings about fighting an Abysswalker by myself? Tons! But I couldn't let everyone died because I was a little scared. Still seeing my clear dismissal Irina stood up while picking Ise Kun up as well.
"Alright but you better not die Chirno, after all I bet Issei Kun would be quite distraught if anything happened to you." I just gave them a thumbs up without letting my eyes off of Fraz. However with the way he was looking at my companions, he didn't seem so inclined to let them go.
So he stopped laughing and spoke to us. "Sorry… but none of you are going anywhere. You see I got this perfect record thing going for me, so I can't really let anyone escape. Since it would you know… ruin that record?" He then turned invisible again; however I had a plan for this. So with a grin on my face I froze the entire ground between me and him. He reappeared shortly only this time he was flat on his face. "Okay… for that you're first little bug." Though he was muffled I heard what he said clearly… I wasn't amused.
Little bug… little bug! I'll show him little bug! At my thoughts of anger, I started to unconsciously make the air around me colder. The others took this as the time to retreat, whether to just go and get help or to run away from me I don't know. But as you may have guessed I really didn't care. Still as Fraz stood up he saw me, and the retreating backs of my lover and possible sister wives.
He growled before speaking. "Well there goes my record… Crap Baskets! Okay no need to panic. You just need to kill the bug and then run after them before any help actually arrives." My eye twitched again at that comment. Still two other words left an impression in my mind.
Crap Baskets? Huh… I think I can actually use that later, if I survive that is… Shaking my head I got rid of those thoughts before looking back at my opponent. Then taking a deep breath and mustering all the luck I had, I attacked. However since I had already froze the ground I had decided to use it. So I manipulated it and created ice cones to stab out at Fraz. However he showed off his skills by jumping up, and slicing the cones into pieces before turning to me.
"I see… that last move wasn't just to stop me from acting against your friends. It was also to give you a home field advantage. Smart but it's going to take a lot more than that to beat me. Really I'm not like that idiot Faylen. Truly he was stronger than I am, yet he died to someone weaker than me. His arrogance was his undoing; I however won't make the mistake he made." At his words I gritted my teeth and decided to take his words as fact. After all he hadn't made an unfounded boast yet, so why should he do so now?
So letting out another icy breath I decided to just keep attacking. I did that by making even more ice cones and then I even sent some ice spears at him. I watched carefully as he dodged and sliced to pieces the ones he couldn't dodge. He then grinned at me and disappeared using his invisibility. Truly this was starting to get on my nerves. Still I heard something move across the ice to my left, and created an ice pillar as an arrow hit it. I then heard three more arrows hit it.
Each one stabbed into the other as the last one broke through the ice, and almost hit me in the eye. However I had decided to move to the left and send out a wave of ice at him. However as I heard more movement to my right I knew that he had moved. After another one of those dark arrows came at me, I became quite thankful that I had decided to make the ice thing. That way he would crack the ice with every step that he took.
So taking to the air with my ice wings I managed to avoid the arrow. However I then heard even more twangs of his bow, as dozens of arrows flew at me. Taking that as a sign I let myself drop as they all collided above me, I then moved out of the way as they fell to the ground.
This isn't fair! I can't seem to muster up a decent offense at all here. That's when I heard movement right in front of me as Fraz appeared. It shocked me and I took a step back and tripped over something. Looking down I found Ise's sword. Grimoire! Ise Kun must've dropped it when he saved me and Kiryuu. Luckily for me Fraz didn't seem to notice as he brought his bow back to shoot me in the heart.
"Well this has been fun but I guess it's time to part ways permanently." As he was about to let go of his bow string, I grabbed Grimoire and struck at his leg. I severed it, however much to my shock he jumped and landed. The wound I gave him gone, thankfully that allowed me enough time to roll backwards to my feet. Still I was lucky as I saw an arrow a couple inches away from my right foot.
How does he keep doing that?! It was the same thing with Ise Kun now that I think about it. Really every time we attacked him, Fraz always seemed to dodge or block it a moment before it connected. Or if it did hit him it seemed to not even matter. Still he seemed quite miffed about missing me like he did.
"This is starting to become tiresome; really I should've killed you by now. You were the second weakest of the group yet here you are still fighting me. Humph… I guess there's more to you than I thought little bug." My left eye twitched again as he called me a bug. So with a sword I my right hand, I lifted up my left and created a giant block of ice with him in it. I ran at it as it started to crack and stabbed Grimoire into it. However as I made contact with his body inside the ice something strange happened.
The ice broke and he backed away, however the strange thing was that I knew I had just stabbed him. But as he jumped away I saw that he was perfectly fine. And that's when I noticed that the cut Ise made on him was gone. Although I knew it was healed, his clothes showed no sign of being cut.
At that point I couldn't help but call him out on it. "Oaky just what kind of crap are you pulling? I know I just stabbed you right now! Plus I know for a fact that I cut off your left leg!" Hearing my question Fraz sighed before answering.
"While I'd be happy to explain it, it doesn't matter much to you. Suffice to say that Master Jin'wolo taught me the spell I'm using. It is an abyssal spell, so it is quite useless to you especially since I plan on killing you." He then charged at me before I could say anything else. However as he struck at me he disappeared as I tried to block him. My eyes widened as I felt pain coming from my middle. Glancing down as he reappeared I gritted my teeth.
He had stabbed me, but I didn't let that get to me instead I struck at him with Grimoire. However like before he dodged it even though I know I hit him. Especially since I felt my sword go into his shoulder as he looked at me in surprise. However I also noticed that my own stab wound was gone.
Okay now this is getting weird. Shaking my head I took a few breaths, before slowly walking backwards to gain some distance. I need to figure out how he keeps doing that. But what? I know I felt him stab me so why did my wound disappear. I don't think its Chronomancy; at least it certainly doesn't feel like it. Looking closely at Fraz I watched as he disappeared. Alright… if normal ice magic doesn't work, how about fairy ice magic.~ So with a vicious smile on my face I let go.
What I let go of was the leash I always have on my magic. Very quickly the air changed around me and became even colder. I could also feel my strength growing as I relished in the cold. Now while other fairies would make fun of me for this, I really didn't care. I specialized not in ice magic, but pure simple cold. However fearing that I might make it too cold to be inhabitable I usually restrained myself.
But this time… there's no one around me to get caught in the crossfire. So with a grin I saw the cold breath of air coming from directly in front of me. That's when I struck, just not with any ice spear or cone or spike. But just a blast of pure cold which made Fraz reveal himself. He was gritting his teeth and looking at me angrily.
"Stu-pid… fairy… ma-gic…" His teeth were starting to chatter as I just made things colder. Already it was cold enough to kill Kiryuu and Irina if they had stayed. Ise Kun would lasted a bit longer, but I doubt he'd be able to move without going into balance breaker. Though I was surprised when Fraz disappeared again, however his breath was clearly visible so I just flew out of his reach when he attacked me.
I then heard the twang of his bow only this time the arrow he fired was on… well fire. So scowling I made things even colder, and actually froze the flame making it drop and shatter on the ground. That's when I had to dodge a second arrow that had dark energy around it.
He's starting to get more serious. That's when I felt it, a pulse of pure dark energy which made my cold literally disappear. I also couldn't help but clutch my head in pain as I felt something start to worm its way inside my mind.
What's going on?! That's when I heard Fraz start laughing lowly. I looked towards him in pain while I slowly landed.
Seeing my look he taunted me. "Oh? I bet you're wondering why you're having a hard time thinking? Well it's simple it is an abyss spell and that's all I'm telling you. Although I bet you can figure out what it's for."
Yeah… you send a steam of continuous pain to your opponents mind rendering them immobile. But I can't give up like this! Gritting my teeth and sucking in air in pain I tried to think of what to do. Then it hit me harder than the almost mind-numbing amount of pain was dealing with. I guess it's time for more fairy magic! I then turned to him and tried to do something I haven't done in a long time.
This made him freeze in place as his eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare…" I just grinned through the pain as his face also contorted, as I tried to impress my own will on his. Thankfully as I did so I could feel the pain in my head disappearing, so I focused more on my spell.
Reality warping powers for the win! I then used all of my focus and casted a curse on him.
"As dark would have it, and light would not you can't be trusted enough. But since you've tried, and now you've lied, today you shall give away. For now until the end of days you shall not do as people say! Instead your mind will be against you until you learn goodwill!" With that I ended my spell and felt a large drop in my magic pool. Because really a spell like that had taken a lot out of me. Still his face of absolute horror as he tried to fight off my curse was priceless!
"NO! I can't let this happen! Must resist! Curse you and your children Bug! I will come back and break you in half! I swear it on the blood of Manus!" He then disappeared while yelling out in pain. As for me I just collapsed onto my knees and started panting.
Well thankfully he wasn't any stronger or that wouldn't work. Still I never figured out what that ability of his was. Oh well… hopefully he won't come back any- My thoughts were cut off as I heard movement in front of me. I then saw Fraz reappear with a crazed look. He only made it seem as if he was gone! He was holding his sword up and I knew it was the end for me. However before anything else could happen a familiar black snake appeared, and grabbed him with her mouth.
At least that's what it looked like; instead the snake bit air as he jumped back. I could only growl as I saw him do whatever he's doing again. That's when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Are you alright Chirno?" Looking behind me I saw Ophis and the Kitsune name Tsuyara.
Still I nodded my head before speaking. "Yeah I'm alright, though my last spell really took a lot out of me. But I think it's worth it in the end." She looked at me curiously while I gained an evil grin and spoke again. "You see… I cast a curse on him. One the makes him do the opposite of whatever anyone tells him." Ophis' eyes widened before she looked at him viciously.
"Do not do ten cartwheels." Fraz then proceeded to do just that as he cursed her, however after his tenth he narrowed his eyes on her. But then for some reason the widened in recognition and fear.
"That's… that's not possible… I thought… we thought… you…" Then if realizing something, he then grinned evilly before bowing to us. "Well this is a surprise, but I think everything will have to wait for later. For now I have a curse that needs to be removed. I'll see you again bug, and also you dragon." He then disappeared into a swirling vortex causing me to sigh in relief.
"Sheesh I really thought that I wouldn't survive this time. I mean Yuloto was scary enough, but this time was just freaking terrifying. Oh why do you think he looked like he saw a ghost when he saw you Ophis?" At my question she just shrugged before I asked another one. "So anyways why are you guys here?"
Ophis smiled before answering. "Well since we were the closest when Irina gave the distress call, we came to help." I nodded my head and was about to thank her. But before I could Shimi slithered herself underneath me.
"EEP!" I couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise, and clenched my thighs together as my face turned red. Because really Shimi touched some sensitive areas with that move. But I then relaxed as she brought herself up so I was riding her. "Oh thanks, but warn me next time please? That felt downright weird."
Ophis' answer was expected. "Maybe I will, and maybe I won't. It was adorable to hear to you eep, and then blush heavily while clenching your legs like that." At her laughing I just blushed heavily as I held onto Shimi.
I'll get that trolling dragoness for this.
Whoever says that fairies are cute tiny creatures should die! The Line Break
The Clown King (Allen Walker)
Closing my phone I turned to the others. "Well it seems as if our groups are starting to spread out. And since Freed and Raynare have completely disappeared… again… it would seem as if I need to leave all of you."
Everyone nodded but then Jing stood up. "How about I go with you? After all Rodrick did say that being out on our own was bad right?" Though he did bring up a point I shook my head no anyway.
"Sorry but you're needed here, because no offense… but everyone here isn't quite up to par yet. Well minus Red, and Mittelt of course. No offense Rias, Akeno." At my comment they both sighed but just waved me off as Rias spoke.
"No worries here, I completely understand my place in the food chain right now. Loathe am I to admit it, I'm not quite as strong as I want to be. Although that does make me wonder why Shirone is walking around with you guys. Care to explain that?"
With a smile I answered her honestly. "Truthfully I'm not quite sure, but I do know that she's quite strong. Still I better get going; our group that Rodrick split from could use my help." Then with another wave I opened the clubroom door and left.
Okay now they said they were on Sakura road… that's to the north. Unfortunately as I made my way towards my comrades, I ended up seeing something I really didn't want to see again. So I removed my left glove, showing off my black arm with a green crystal cross embedded in it.
"Corpse puppets… it would seem as if Xilo is done playing around." There were ten of them and they were all coming at me. So with narrowed eyes I activated my innocence. "Let's go Crown clown!" With that the green cross on my black arm glowed, and then both my arms changed while my white cloak appeared over my coat. As I felt power flow through me I smirked before running to meet the puppets head on.
The first one that I made it to was quickly cut down by my claw. The next was obliterated by a punch from my right hand. The others quickly followed them as I destroyed all of them. It was over rather quickly if I was honest, which also honestly worried me.
That was way too easy… even with the draconic piece's enhancements that should've been tougher. Shaking my head I decided to worry about that later as I started moving again. Unfortunately as I moved on, I encountered even more corpse puppets much to my annoyance as I cut them all down. Really all the useless fighting was really starting to annoy me. But I suppose it's better for me to find them then some random civilian.
"Why won't you stay still?!" Upon hearing the voice of some girl I paused. But my eyes widened when I heard a screech of pain from some monster. However based on the descriptions given to me by Vali and Rodrick, I knew it was a Lendopo Diren. But why a girl was yelling at it, and also why it sounded in pain was a mystery. One that I intended to solve. So using my max speed, I zipped over towards the noises of different curses and screeching. What I saw… was not what I expected.
There was a girl wearing the academy uniform, she also a young woman with long, brown hair in multiple drill-like curls. And though I try not to notice such things, I could that she was indeed beautiful and was quite filled out. However the strange thing was that there was yeti attacking the Lendopo Diren. She was also getting frustrated about the fight.
"Come on I've never seen a creature like this before! Just knock it out! Really if I can capture this everyone else will be so jealous!" Pausing in my steps I really didn't know what to do. That's when I felt something moving around in my hood. Putting my hand back I grabbed the thing moving and held it in my hand. It was a small yellow creature with a sphere like body and bird like wings. It also had a cross on its "face".
"You shouldn't make such a ruckus Timcampy." I then looked back at the girl and sighed while letting my master's golem go. At that point I decided to walk up behind her as Timcampy flew around my head. "Um excuse me miss? I really don't think you want that creature." Upon hearing my voice she turned to me, and I had to admit that she had quite a cute face.
But after examining me she spoke to me with suspicion. "Oh? And just why don't I want this creature? Are you trying to just take this catch from me? Besides why should I trust someone so shadily dressed?" That actually stung so with a sigh, I deactivated my innocence to let her see what I really looked like. She blinked for a couple of seconds before speaking again. "Huh… I guess you're not as shady as I thought, especially with that baby face of yours. Still was that a sacred gear?"
Though my eye twitched at the baby face comment I still answered her. "No it was Innocence, a weapon used before sacred gears were made. Although if I'm honest there isn't much of a difference. Except that it can purify souls when I use it, plus it helps me become immune to most poisons. Anyways as I was saying you really don't won't to capture that creature."
"Why not?" Unfortunately before I could answer her question, the Lendopo Diren threw the yeti off itself and towards us. Seeing this I instinctually grabbed her and jumped out of the way. Just in time to as the yeti landed where we were just at. Upon seeing this the girl became a bit nervous. "Okay then… maybe you have a point but still as a beast trainer I have to try." She then got out what looked like a dart and threw it at the Lendopo Diren. Unfortunately it just swatted it away with a claw. It then started slowly moving towards us.
With another sigh I reactivated Crown clown. "I think you should let me deal with this. After all I know this creature can't be tamed by you." I noticed that she was about to yell at me but I cut her off. "Look I'm not insulting your skills but this creature… this Lendopo Diren already belongs to someone, and that someone has unleashed a whole hoard of them on the town. Trust me these creatures just aren't controllable." When I finished the girl slumped her shoulders a bit but nodded her head.
I smiled lightly at that before turning back to my target; it was preparing to charge at me. However what I didn't expect was its speed. Within a moment the monster was on me, and I was forced to block with my black claw. Bracing it with my right arm I managed to hold my ground as it slashed at me.
Gritting my teeth I then jumped up as it struck at me again, however as I jumped over it I stuck out with my claw and sliced open its head. It was messy but it fell down dead as I landed behind it. Then exhaling deeply, I deactivated my weapon before turning back to the beast trainer girl. Her expression was that of a fish.
So with a small laugh I spoke to her again. "You know you'll catch flies if you leave your mouth open like that." Upon hearing my words she quickly closed her mouth with a blush. But then after a moment she looked at me suspiciously.
"So… you seem to know a lot about these undocumented creatures. Not to mention you're too fast and strong to be a normal human. Are you a devil perhaps?" At her question I shook my head which made her relax a bit, but not by much. Still I decided to be honest with her.
"I'm human like you; however I was one of the top exorcists' in the Vatican for a bit. However I quit with Michael's permission because I got fed up with them. Still I'm here because I joined up with Rodrick Booker. Now since you're wearing the Kouh uniform I'm sure you know him." She nodded her head as I continued. "Anyways I'm now part of his peerage through the draconic piece system, in other words a modified version of the evil pieces. Except this one just imbues the person with the king's longevity and energy. As since he's a dragon… well you can see what happened to me."
She nodded her head before relaxing completely. "I see then, I always knew there was something off about Booker San. I just could never really put my finger on it. Well at least I know that he's a really nice person. Still I guess you guys are just trying to protect the town now huh?" I nodded my head as she sighed. "Well that sucks; I was really hoping to catch a brand new unheard of creature. Still you called it a Lendopo Diren, what exactly does that mean?"
Grimacing I answered her question. "It means feared one in abyssal. And they do exactly what their names suggest, you see right now we're dealing with otherworldly forces which pretty much want to just take over this planet. Unfortunately they'll use any method to do it. Trust me they've already killed quite a few people in order to achieve their goals." When I finished the girl looked rather worried before speaking up.
"If that's the case then we have to do something! Where are the rest of these creatures?" Looking at her I raised an eyebrow before questioning her.
"What exactly do you mean by we? You should just take your yeti and find a safe place; really this mess isn't really something an untrained human should deal with."
The glare I got for that comment was scathing. "What do you mean "untrained"? I have you know I've trained many monsters and have even taught them all how to play tennis! Place this isn't a yeti, it is a Yuki-Onna!" Blinking I looked at the creature again before turning to her.
"Sorry but that is definitely not a Yuki-Onna, trust me I've met a few of them since hanging out with Rodrick. And he's adopted by the queen of the Yokai, so don't blame me if I believe him more than you."
She looked at me before folding her arms underneath her chest. "Well they only look like beautiful maidens when they're young. They turn into this when they're older."
Again I had to correct her. "No they don't. I met a forty year old one who still looked quite beautiful. Really yetis' are the ones that do that. Though I have absolutely no idea why. Anyways this isn't all that important, are you sure you want to try and help? I mean what can you even do?"
She sighed before answering my question. "Well for one I have quite a few creatures I can call on to help. Like the Yuki-Onna, which I will say is a Yuki-Onna until you provide proof so shut up about that." I closed my mouth as she cut me off and nodded my head. "Good, now besides her I also have harpy, Lamia, and mermaid. Though I don't think that last one will help that much. Still my lamia and harpy will be of some help."
At that point I interrupted her. "Sorry perhaps I should ask again, what can you do to help?" She glared at me before answering my question.
"Well I have a few paralyzing dart I can use, I can also make traps, use ropes to tie things up and other beast tamer skills." Sighing I decided to go against my better judgment on this. Because even though those skills won't help too much with this sort of mission. I do know that she's the type of girl who wouldn't let this go. So if I didn't want her to die I had to let her come with me.
"Alright you win, just do as I say alright? There are more than just monsters running around here, there are also undead corpses running around." Though she seemed to become a bit pale at that she nodded her head resolutely. She then stretched out her right hand to me.
"Well if we're working together we should introduce ourselves. I'm Abe Kiyome, a senior in high school and a beast tamer." Looking at her hand I smiled before grabbing it and shaking it.
"It's nice to meet you Abe San, I'm Walker Allen and I'll be a sophomore at your school. I'm also an ex-exorcist and the knight of Rodrick Booker's dragon peerage. A pleasure to meet you." We then let go as I turned to walk towards the group I was supposed to be joining. "Alright then, we should get moving. I was supposed to meet up with a few others a while ago." She nodded her head and followed after me, although she did start asking me more questions about what exactly was going on.
Questions that I was happy to answer for her, after all if the town was full of zombies and monsters… then she should best be prepared to deal with them. Even though her yeti thing was still following us.
I wonder what the others will think when they see this?
Whoever says that fairies are cute tiny creatures should die! The Line Break
The Void Emperor
As I slashed through another corpse puppet I found myself getting angry. Why can't we just catch a break?! I swear on the void that when I finally meet you in person Xilo that I will gut you like fish!
'You should really calm down you know? Really this isn't a good time to get sloppy with anger.' Conceding that she had a point, I took a few calming breaths before turning to Shirone who just beat her last corpse puppet.
"How are you holding up?" Turning to me she gave a half-hearted smile before answering me.
"I'm fine, though I just wish that these things would give us a break. Or at least that they smelled better than this. Really my stomach is turning by being near them like this." I nodded my head in agreement before moving onto our objective. We were getting closer now, and I was beginning to think that it was a lich. Mostly because the closer we got the more corpse puppets we ran into.
So after rubbing Shirone's ears for a moment, I began walking towards what I was sensing. Shirone followed just a few steps behind me. We were close now; in fact our target was just up ahead through a small alleyway. However what we saw when we made it to the other side of the buildings, was not what I expected. And I couldn't help but talk out loud.
"A reaper…" Indeed I saw a short reaper using a scythe to cut through a bunch of corpse puppets. However she looked like Ophis did, a young girl to be precise. She was actually kind of cute. She had long, dark purple hair and sleepy golden eyes. Her hair was tied in a long braid, reaching all the way down to her hips. She also had a white skull mask that was dangling halfway off her face.
This was how I knew what she looked like, because otherwise I'd just see her eyes. She was also wearing a grim reaper robe, under a white hooded cloak with a black interior. However the hood of the cloak looked ripped up. Her scythe however looked a bit big for her, though she was swinging it around just fine. Unfortunately she was covered in small wounds and seemed to be tiring as she swung at another corpse puppet.
Thankfully I very quickly understood the situation and why there were so many corpse puppets. After all a reaper could probably kill one with just a scratch thanks to their scythe. So it didn't take a genius to figure out that Xilo wanted to kill them all.
So with a smirk I held up Masamune and looked over to Shirone. "Let's go help out a reaper shall we?" Shirone smirked and readied her staff. Then we both turned forward and leaped into the fray. Right on time to since a corpse puppet was about to stab the reaper girl in the back. When she turned around she looked at me in surprise. However I just spoke quickly. "We can talk and thank me later, for now let's just deal with these corpse puppets."
The reaper girl nodded before smiling and turning back around. I smiled myself before turning forward and cutting down another puppet. Off to the side I could see Shirone slicing through them with her staff using the ice element I put on it. Still there were quite a few of them, and I noticed that as we cut down more of them they grew stronger and faster.
That's when I realized something and yelled out. "Why don't you stop letting your zombies fight for you, and come down and face us yourself!" As soon as those words left my mouth the corpse puppets stopped attacking. That's when I heard clapping from above. So looking up I saw the lich I was looking for. However this time it was a skeleton covered in purple ancient Egyptian like robes. Next to him floating was a bronze staff with a snake like head. There was also a black visible aura surrounding it.
When it spoke it sounded male but quite raspy. "Impressive that you were able to detect my presence young dragon. But I guess I shouldn't to be surprised by the one who slain my brother Hermit. No matter if you want me… then you will have to wait a bit longer. Right now I cannot allow myself to die; my part in this isn't over." He then paused as if considering something. "Well I suppose you earned my name at least… it is Razor, remember that because I will be the last thing you see before you die."
Razor then spread out his arms and a purple mist surrounded him. Then when it cleared he was gone and the corpse puppets retreated.
"Hey wait!" Seeing what she was about to do I grabbed the reaper girl's shoulder before speaking.
"Let them go. They're more than likely retreating back to their base of operations. And right now I don't want to have to fight a bunch of Darkwraiths, along with their Abysswalkers, and a whole hoard of Corpse puppets. Besides you're tired and you have some wounds that should be treated." She looked at me in frustration before turning forward and sighing. That's when she slowly fell to her knees with her scythe next on her right side. I then sheathed Masamune and knelt down in front of her.
Then smiling lightly I began my first aid treatment. "So… do you have a name cute reaper girl? Also could you tell us why you're out here?" She blushed before answering me.
"Yeah I'm Bennia, and I used to work for Hades along with my father. However Lord Hades was recently forced into working with that Darkwraith Xilo. Now Xilo has an infinite number of undead to call upon. Especially since he made Lord Hades trap most of us in the underworld prisons. Thankfully my father saw something coming, and got me and a few of the others out of the underworld before we were trapped. However I can still feel those who are trapped slowly dying."
She then sighed sadly before continuing with a few tears. "I think they're either experimenting on them before killing them. Really it's painful to feel but we need to keep working, especially since there aren't many of us left. We even had to ask the shinigami to help us out, and even Death himself is active. But we're still swamped, however now when we go out we're attacked by those corpse puppets. It's really starting to scare me how Xilo is able to predict where we'll end up. I've lost quite a few friends because of him."
Now while I felt terrible for her, I couldn't help but frown at what she told us. This isn't good…
[Isn't good? ISN'T GOOD! Is that really all you can say about this situation?! Isn't good is when accidentally cut yourself on something. This… this deserves a whole new word to describe the situation! Seriously Rodrick with Hades in Xilo's pocket, he could use his necromancy to summon the souls of anyone! Think about it… legendary villains and even legendary heroes can now be part of his army. Imagine what would happen if Xilo summoned back Heracles, or someone similar, and forced him to fight for him?!]
That… that is a horrifying thought… I then looked at Bennia who was talking with Shirone. And what's worse is that there aren't enough reapers, or their equivalents to handle the issue. And you know it's bad if the horseman Death is working on the issue. Biting my lower lip I decided to ask Bennia a few more things.
"Hey you said that there are other death gods helping out right? Do you know why Xilo hasn't gone after them?" She turned to me and shrugged while I continued healing her.
"I don't know… really if he wanted to he could probably take over the whole Greek pantheon. He's just that strong… and also scary… really I was hiding with my father when I saw him torture Lord Hades. I still have nightmares sometimes. But if I'm honest I think he just doesn't want to deal with having anymore gods on his side. After all he does want to kill pretty much all of them and put himself on top." I nodded my head at that while I finished up my healing.
I then patted her head before standing up. "Well we won't let him get away with this. Still I've now healed you the best that I can. However I think we should take you to our friend Asia. She's a better healer, and you also need some rest." She sighed but nodded her head and tried to stand up. However her legs were wobbly and she fell forward. Thankfully I caught her and spoke with a smirk. "I think your legs fell asleep." She groaned but nodded her head. "Here I'll carry you for a bit, just let me know when you're able to walk again."
With that I put her on my back before turning to Shirone. I know that look… On her face was a look of thoughtfulness as she looked at Bennia. It's the same look when I left to go get Lefay. Seriously what's with my girls and trying to find me more lovers?!
[HAHAHA! And I don't blame her for that look; just take a sniff of the reaper girl. Trust me, though you haven't noticed it she smells like lavender to you.] Inwardly grumbling I did what he suggested. Unfortunately he was right.
Oh you got to be kidding me! Just how many girls are my instincts going to decide are good for me?!
[The important question is to ask why all of them are Loli's… really you are a Lolicon.]
We've been through this; I like them for who they are! Their looks are second to me, even though I do find them beautiful. Besides I find other girls attractive! Like Kiryuu, Grayfia, and even Akeno and Sakuya to name a few. I just don't love them like I do my own princesses!
'Oh Rodrick… though you say that all the time I know you like Sakuya more than that.~'
[Yeah you should just really go with the flow. Trust me your instincts wouldn't be doing this to you if you couldn't keep all of them happy. Unless you're a complete jerk or are other nasty things. Still doesn't mean you're not a Lolicon though…] I really couldn't help but yell at him for that, even though his retort was obvious.
Screw you dragon!
[Sorry I don't swing that way.] Thankfully I still had Masamune mostly on my side.
'Okay that was a bit too far Kuros.' That's when I heard the sound of a frying pan being whacked over his head. 'Anyway he does have a point, you should just let things naturally happen. That's how I ended up with Kuros after all, well after forcing him a bit of course!~ Anyways I got to feed Rune Chan so don't bother me for a bit.' And with that she cut the connection. This left me to try and get to know Bennia while I tried to get my anger under control.
"So… how many times have you been out hunting the undead like this?"
Behind me she shifted her position a bit before answering. "About thirty times actually. Though I was usually with my father who was teaching me, however the last five times I've been on my own. Since you know… he's needed to coordinate everything. Now that's fine, but I've almost died each of these last five times. Though I did believe I'd die here if it wasn't for you. So thank you for that, most people wouldn't help a reaper after all. Because of the, you know who wants to be friends with death thing."
Next to me I saw Shirone frown sadly. I could tell that she was relating a bit, especially since she was a Nekoshou. Because even before Kuroka killed her old king they along with Kyuubi were rather feared for their abilities. Well Kyuubi are still feared, after all my mother could probably fight Serafall if she went all out. Though that'd probably destroy Japan in the process…
Still I tried to sound happy when I comforted Bennia. "Well that's their fault then, as for me I was happy to be of service. After all you're just doing your job, so really people shouldn't be scared of you for what you do. I personally always found Death and you reapers to be kind of cool."
She couldn't hide her surprise when she spoke up at my statement. "Really? You think we're cool?" At this point even Shirone was looking at me quizzically. I just smiled at her before answering Bennia.
"Yeah! After your entire job is very important. Plus there are your outfits and scythes, and your ability to cut away at people's souls while terrifying is just interesting. It just makes me wonder at the kind of metal, or enchantments are used to accomplish such a feat. Plus I do admire your work ethics after all you pretty much never get a break. I really don't think I could do that, honestly I'd probably only last three months tops before keeling over." At that point both Bennia and Shirone giggled cutely.
When she stopped she spoke gratefully. "Thanks I've never really gotten any compliments from other people outside the reapers." I just nodded my head while I carried her on my back to the clubroom. At least that was the plan until I got a call on my phone. So frowning I held onto her with my right arm while I answered with my left.
"Sorry I need to take this." Looking at it I saw that I was Sona who was calling. Frowning I answered it. "Hello?"
When she spoke Sona sounded worried. "Rodrick its Issei he's been carried back her with Irina and Kiryuu. He's quite injured and right now Rosalia is working on him. Kiryuu also has an injured thigh but it's not too bad. But the worst thing is that they were attacked by another Abysswalker by the name of Wiet Fraz. Apparently his master is the eighth Darkwraith Jin'wolo. But the worst thing is that they had to leave Chirno behind so she could stall him."
At that my eyes widened. "So that's what I felt from before! Do you need us to go back her up?!" Thankfully she answered me negatively.
"No we already called Ophis and Tsuyara, they were closer after all. I just hope that they won't arrive too late. Besides that we also have another issue, you see while we stopped Issei's bleeding he won't heal completely. I mean our magic is working but it is extremely slow going. So we need you to go get Asia and bring her back here. We could use her twilight healing right about now."
I unconsciously nodded my head before answering her. "We were already on our way there; you see we needed Asia to help heal someone we picked up. But we can also take her to Issei, so until then just do your best and we'll be there shortly."
"Alright we'll try…" She then hung up, more than likely going back to help with Issei's recovery.
At that point Bennia spoke up as I put away my phone. "It sounded like one of your friends is in trouble. Will he be okay?" To my side I could also see the Shirone looked rather worried so with a sigh I answered honestly.
"I really don't know. I hope so but we need to get Asia over to him after she heals you up. Still for the time being you should just stick with us, more than likely you'll get another chance at Razor that way. He is why you were sent here yes?" I could feel that she was surprised because of a slight jerk in her body, but she eventually answered me.
"Though I'm surprised you figured it out the answer is yes. Though please don't hold it against me for not telling you, it's just reaper business is all."
I nodded my head before reassuring her. "Don't worry I understand, but just know that we are willing to help you out. It's the least we can do since we're probably going to go after him as well." She nodded her head before resting it on my back and speaking quietly.
"Thanks… I have a feeling that I'm going to need it." She then fell asleep much to my amusement as I started moving faster.
Next to me Shirone spoke up though she wore a smirk. "So… based on your facial reactions from before… I can assume she smells of lavender as such she's a potential mate for you?"
I almost choked on my spit at that point but I still managed and answer. "This really isn't a time to talk about such things! Besides I just met her, and like you said potential… that doesn't truly mean anything in the long run." Shirone's smile grew wider and more cat like as she countered my argument.
"I understand that… but you like her a bit. After all I did here you say… "So… do you have a name cute reaper girl?" Or are you denying that in front of your mate?"
At that point my mouth became dry. How did I forget about saying that? I meant it in a way that would comfort her a bit!
[Sure kid… sure…]
Not helping Kuros!
So with a sigh I answered Shirone's question. "Listen while I did say that and I do find her cute. I really only said that to help her relax a bit. Anyways what I said still stand I just met her and don't know much about her. Everyone else I've known for quite some time, and besides we'd need the others to decide anyways. And that's if Bennia agreed or if I agreed."
Shirone pouted before speaking again. "Alright fine… but I already kind of like her, in fact she kind of feels like Ophis a bit. Oh hey Ophis!" Blinking I turned to where she was looking at to see Ophis, Chirno, and Tsuyara. However Chirno was riding on Shimi and looked rather miffed at Ophis. Still after what Sona said to me I was glad to see them alright.
And I tried to convey my relief in my voice as I greeted them. "Hey there girls! It's nice to see that you saved our ice fairy in time. Really when Sona called me I got quite worried about all of you." Ophis nodded her head before gaining a curious look as she saw Bennia.
"Who's the reaper girl?"
Unfortunately Shirone spoke up first. "She's our next mate sister." My jaw dropped along with Tsuyara's while Chirno began laughing at our expressions. Still what Ophis said next only made me want to go find a hole and hide in it.
"Oh… well we better find a new rotation then, but at least she's small like us. Which means it'll be easier to squeeze her into bed; luckily Rodrick is a Lolicon right?" At this point Chirno was laughing even harder onto top of Shimi. In fact even the snake was laughing along with Tsuyara at this point.
Then Shirone said something that made me want to die in the hole. "Yeah we are lucky, but at least he cooks well and we Loli's need someone to love us. It is good that he's a Lolicon." At that point Chirno fell off Shimi because they were both laughing to hard. Unfortunately all their laughter woke Bennia up.
Oh crap… Yawning a bit she looked around before her eyes landed on Ophis.
She then spoke up in a very tired sounding voice. "I must still be dreaming because I see the infinity dragon god is here." I almost sighed in relief, but then Ophis spoke again.
"Yes although it's goddess not god. Anyways would you like to be another one of Rodrick's mates, and one of my mate sisters?" Still being half asleep she yawned again before just waving her hand at her and speaking.
"Hai, hai… it might be fun dream Ophis. He is nice after all, but this is a dream so it really doesn't matter what I say." She then fell back asleep with a light snore. At that point I couldn't help but slap my forehead.
Unfortunately Ophis just looked at me with a small smirk. "Well there you go Ro Kun.~" At that point I finally had someone come to my defense.
It was Tsuyara. "Um… Cousin Ophis I must say that while your acceptance and forwardness is admirable. I must also say that it doesn't count if the girl thinks she's dreaming." I sighed in relief at that, but then almost chocked on my spit at what she said next. "No instead you should wait until she's completely awake. And then force her to kiss him, and then lock them in a room naked until they have sex and agree to be together!~" At her words Ophis and Shirone nodded their heads while I just stared at her.
[Yep… that's definitely Kuyari's daughter alright… Wow it is strange seeing this from a different angle. After all that's what Kuyari did to me.] At that point my attention was directed at my dragon.
Wait seriously? Kuros replied positively.
[Oh yes… though I did kind of like her already, and I did find her beautiful. So it really didn't matter all too much to me. She even smelled of roses like my adopted mother. So you know that it was just meant to be. Like Masamune~ she also smells of wonderful roses.]
Huh… well let's hope that doesn't happen to me, it wouldn't be fair for Bennia or myself. So with a sigh I spoke out loud to my plotting princesses.
"Listen… as I've already told Shirone I barely know Bennia, so it's not fair to force her into anything. For now we'll just see where things take us, besides we don't have time to be standing around we need. Right now Issei is quite hurt and needs Asia, so let's just get moving." At my words everyone frowned but nodded their heads. However Chirno looked the worse as she climbed back on Shimi.
Don't worry Chirno I'm not going to let Issei die. After all… he's my friend to. And with those thoughts we all started to quickly make our way to the clubroom.
Omake! Fairy curses
The Necromancer (The following conversation is in Abyssal.)
"So… you were cursed and now have to do the opposite of whatever anyone says? And it's also one of those curses that you actually can't talk about is that right?" In front of me Wiet Fraz nodded to me with his mouth shut tight. "Wow… I didn't think that a fairy curse could actually work on an Abysswalker. Oh well food for thought." At my words he looked quite miffed at me. "Oh don't give me that look." He gave me a harder look at that. "Oh yeah… give me that look then."
His gaze softened while Jin slapped his forehead and spoke. "This isn't good. Wiet is pretty much compromised at this point. Really someone could say don't rip off your finger and he'd-" My brother was cut off by a loud scream of pain. We then both looked in front of us to see that Wiet had ripped his own index finger off. "My point is proven… Don't hold still while I reattach your finger." He then stood like a statue as Jin put his finger back on.
Behind me Yuloto spoke up. "This is insane… So how can we break this curse? I'm out of my depth here, you guys are better at casting curses than I am so what should we do?" I sighed while trying to figure out what to do next. After all while I might be good at casting curses, they were abyssal curses. Not stupid fairy curses.
So with another sigh I spoke up. "Well I guess there are a few ways… one kill the one who cursed him. Two find a stronger fairy to remove it. Or three cast a curse on him that overpowers the one he already has. I suggest the first one though… less hazardous for him." I then turned back to Wiet who was now being talked to by Dust. "Oh crap balls…"
"Don't do seven cartwheels! Don't fall down on your face! Don't jump up and stay frozen in the air!" Surprisingly that last one worked and he was just frozen in mid-air. And by frozen… I meant actually trapped in a block of ice.
"I shouldn't be surprised… after all fairy curses bend the world around them so they work." So with another sigh I blasted Dust to pieces while trying to come up with a plan to kill the ice fairy. After all… it's always easier to kill your problems.

As a side note if you want to see someone's stats just ask in a review. If you want to know history, ask for an encyclopedia Omake of that person.
Judan: Yeah another chapter so soon after the last one!
Slayer: The last one was part of the main series where everything connects.
Neos: Wow… so Rodrick now has a grim reaper, not the Grim Reaper but a grim reaper. That's interesting… but I still want to kill him for it!
Rodrick: Why does everyone want to kill me!
Neos: Is my niece just not good enough for you? Is that it! HUH?!
Shadow: I believe that isn't the point here, after all you're just a regular Broodknight. So you wouldn't understand an elders instincts.
Neos: Shut up you evil Darkwraith!
Shadow: Well I tried you're on your own now.
Slayer: Hey Neos mind if I help as always?
Neos: Sure now let's get him!
Rodrick: (Runs away) LEAVE ME ALONE!
Bennia: -Yawns- Is it always so noisy around here?
Judan: Actually yes, oh and welcome to the Beast Palace. It has everything an actor, or in this case and actress should want.
Bennia: Yeah I know the beds are so soft… -Yawn-
Shadow: Uh… you can't fall asleep quite yet. We kind of need you to end this one.
Bennia: Oh fine… this has been a Dark Guard production now signing off…
Everyone/Minus Slayer, Rodrick, Bennia, Neos: Goodbye!
Bennia: -Snore-
Rodrick: Leave me alone!
Slayer: Die! (Guns shots)
Neos: What he said! (More gun shots)
Shadow: How can she sleep through this?
