Solitude of A King

Chapter 6: In The Night

If words were to describe Rizevim Lucifer, insane was one of the few which truly captured the man in a single frame. For he rose above the normal levels of mental insanity and personified the very definition. This was a Devil who willingly looked for the most destructive force of chaos alive and the same Devil who was going to face a band of Heroes with a glowing grin stretched across his features.

"Ah, my boy how nice of you to drop by~" Rizevim cooed in delight. His crazed eyes shining in unmeasurable joy. "Oh how I wanted to meet you for so long, my boy! Look at you, all grown up! I remember when you were just a mere boy!~"

Frowning at the words, Naruto snapped his fingers once again and another barrage of weaponry appeared behind him. As if they were shot from a cannon, the weaponry bombarded the two Devils in a flash. When the blades, axes, and halberds slammed against a shield of magic erected by the simply dressed Devil, Naruto's frown deepened as his will flared and a new weapon appeared. Larger than the previous ones, the halberd shimmered with magical might as it floated a second more before launching at the barrier. Tearing through the rather powerful shield, Naruto gave the Devils little time to recover as more and more weapons rained down upon them

"Ohoho~ You grew stronger too! You make me so proud, Naruto-boy!"

The voice remained cheerfully teasing as the smokescreen of dust settled and Naruto eyed the now obliterated room with a critical gaze. Standing in the middle of the destruction had been the two Devils without a single scratch on their appearance. The two had managed to find a way to bypass his attack and escaped from any possible harm it could have brought. That idea itself angered Naruto.

"You're still alive." Naruto said simply.

"Oh, Naruto-boy, you're going to have to try harder than that to kill little ol' me! I didn't survive this long just because of my dashing good looks. I would love to play with you further... But, I just need to go. Ta-ta for now, Naruto-boy, don't forget to drink your milk!~"

And like that, the man vanished. In a flash of light the two Devils were consumed by a surge of magic and disappeared to a location unknown. As the tow vanished, Naruto's eyes narrowed in rage. Giving a shout of displeasure, the blonde slammed his hand against the wall and crumpled the stone like paper. The audacious behavior of the man had seemingly struck a cord in the blonde. In his struggle to obtain power against the scornful scoff of the higher powers had helped little in his own reaction to the teasing words of his former opponent.

"That bastard!"

Scowling at the events, Mordred gave a scoff before turning her attention toward the enraged blonde and Semiramis. Emotions masked behind her crafty smile, the witch strode forward in long, graceful strides. Moving forward without the consent of the enraged Naruto, Semiramis scanned the room the two Devils had left from. Smile growing at the contents inside, the alluring woman flashed Naruto an all too pleasing smile.

"It seems our efforts were not in vain." Semiramis proclaimed. Stretching her arms out open, she shifted her body in order to display the contents within the room. "Whatever the Devils were after, it was not the Sacred Gear wielder. She's still breathing."

Reigning in the burning rage which had consumed him seconds ago, Naruto nodded his head and beckoned for Mordred to approach. Accepting the wordless order, the knight strode right into the room and scooped up the unconscious vampire in her arms. As Mordred walked out with the vampire, Naruto took in the beautiful appearance of the young woman. Her short, bleached blonde hair seemingly shimmered under the small rays of the sun. The pair of sharpened canines in combination to the girl's delicate features, Naruto took notice of the natural beauty the girl wielded. In contrast to Semiramis' seductive beauty, the vampire's produced a sense of innocence, rather than raw seduction.

"Tch, let's go. That skinny bastard was all talk." Mordred complained in a sharp call. "He didn't even fight me!"

Accepting the words with another nod, Naruto swiftly turned and led the girls out of the ruined castle. Trudging through the cluster of bodies littered in the halls with blood stains plastered against the walls, Naruto gave little attention to the gore he had contributed to. Taking a sharp turn toward the courtyard, the blonde hero beckoned for the unmoving golems toward the castle. Spreading them all over the ruined structure, Naruto continued to walk forward with the two following silently.

"Uzumaki, why did you send-"

Mordred never finished. In a flash, the crude echoes of destructive explosions filled the air. Tearing through the once beautiful Tepes Castle, the golems successfully brought down the structure, leaving remnants of the foundation scorched. The sudden sound had brought forth a expression of surprise and awe clashing upon Mordred's visage as Semiramis continued to smirk.

"Ah, how cruel, Naruto."
