Authors note, while i know Alduin has revealed himself as Leviathan to the attackers I will still refer to him as Alduin so long as he is in his human form. I'm going to try a new format for POV, so please tell me if this new method was adequate*

(3rd/pov)

The expression on the Ouranos, and Freya familias changed immediately.

"Ru-ru-run," shouted one of the men.

"As if i would let you leave that easily," said Alduin.

Alduin took Torva's sword and threw it at the ceiling at the entrance of the tunnel collapsing it. With that attack their hope dropped once again. The men stared in horror, their only means of escape was cut off.

"Don't tell me you thought you could attack me and get away unharmed," asked Alduin rhetorically.

A group of 2 level 4 mages formed up trying to cast spells to take him out. Alduin raised his arm, aiming for the 2 mages.

"God of fire, grant me your arcanium, give this unworthy soul a sip of your power[Scorching Ray," chanted Alduin.

A beam of warm light erupted from Alduin's palm and rushed towards

The 2 men. When the beam made contact the room filled with the smell of searing flesh. A moment later the beam had ended, and all that was left of the mages was a pile of ashes and a warped adamantite knife. The mages and warriors started to panic forming a battle formation. Torva lacking a good weapon stayed apart from the others.

"Ah, I guess it's time to finish this; however, it seems most of my strength has yet to return," signed Alduin.

Immediately Cliff, Alfred, and two of the robed men, using short swords, charged Alduin.

"Die, monster," said Alfred with a stoic face.

Cliff, and Alfred both brought their swords down on him at once. There was a loud clang as the expressionless Alduin caught both of their swords with his bare hands. Both of them immediately jumped back to put some distance between Alduin and themselfs.

"I expected more from level fives," stated Alduin.

"I wouldn't doubt us if I were you," said Cliff pointing at Alduin's hands.

Both of Alduin's hands were bleeding. The orange blood slowly dripped down onto the floor.

"Allow me to apologise, you are worth more than a warm-up," said Alduin with sincerity

Before Cliff or Alfred could react Alduin rushed and decapitated Alfred with his hand. Cliff looked at his partner in shock. Alduin stood over Alfred's corpse, and slowly turned his head, and stared at Cliff with killing intent. Cliff started to back away fearing for his life.

"Please don't do this, I was only following orders," said Cliff lowering his sword.

"PuT Up yOuR SwoRd boY, ShOw mE tHaT PrIde YOu hAd eArlIeR," said Alduin, as his voice filled with an almost satanic aura.

Alduin charged Cliff, preparing to penetrate his armor but not kill him. Alduin's nails grew into sharply pointed bone daggers, capable of cutting through adamantite.

"Ekkk," screeched Cliff in fear.

Cliff raised his sword, trying to repel Alduin; however, he was far too slow. Alduin's hand penetrated Cliff's plate armor as if it was a peasant's tunic. Cliff cried out in pain as Alduin's hand pierced his chest. Alduin retracted his hand to strike again when he was hit with a fireball.

'Dammit, Messor' thought Alduin.

Alduin forgot to deal with the mages, because of his mistake he was launched into the wall across the room. Alduin's body slammed into the wall creating a crater and filling the wall with cracks. Alduin rose from the rubble with only a few bruises. Alduin looked at Messor with an angry look. As the mages started to prepare their spells, Alduin reached his hand out and grabbed the air.

(Alduin/pov)

To think they would make me use my powers, that's what I get for underestimating my opponent again,' thought Alduin.

I aimed my arm at the group of mages. They obviously learned from my attack earlier. I would need to use something with a bigger area of attack.

"Blight of a stellar mass, [Nova Ray]," I chanted.

While I chanted, I shifted his body to use Nova Ray. Pulling my arms into a ready stance by my side and pointed my mouth at the group. Once I finished my chant, I opened my mouth and a ball of light started to form between my jaws. When the ball was 3 inches in diameter I closed my jaw releasing a bright beam of light that vaporized all the mages, leaving only me, Torva, Cliff, and Leafalia. I quickly rushed Cliff, jabbing my hand into his rib cage once again; however, this time I took something with me, his heart. Cliff stared at me in disbelief as he reached for the hole left behind from my hand. Crimson blood flowed out of the two holes in cliff as he struggled to stay up. Cliff soon fell to one knee as the blood continued to drain out of him.

"Tell me Alduin, we never had a chance did we," asked Cliff.

"No, you did not; however, you are one of the few humans that have ever made me bleed, congratulations," I replied.

"Hahahahaha," laughed Cliff clearly losing his sanity.

I crush Cliff's heart and consume it, regaining some of my power using my reclaimer] skill. Cliff falls to the floor. (I wasn't kidding when I said it would be graphic)

Skill: Reclaimer

The reclaimer skill allows the user to consume the magic center of an organism and regain a proportional amount of mind and stamina; for humans, this is the heart, while with monsters the user can consume magic stones.

Alduin turned his attention to Torva who was starting to pull out her hair.

"Impossible, this was impossible from the start," screamed Torva.

"This is your payment for the sin of harming me and those I call friends, now prepare for your death," said Alduin his eyes glowing with rage.

Torva was overcome with fear, without thinking she ran towards the crystal in the middle of the room. Torva's got desperate and was going to try trapping him. Below the crystal was a 50-meter deep pit. The hole was 10 meters in diameter with the crystal in the middle, there was a small walkway about a meter wide leading to the crystal. As Torva ran Alduin gave chase; however, he didn't run as fast as he wanted the despair to taint Torva soul before he was finished. Torva slid and grabbed one of the dead Ouranos familia member's weapons. Torva continued running until she was in front of the crystal holding a steel broadsword.

"Torva, I'm glad you decided to finally face me," said Alduin with a genuine smile.

Torva was scared out of her mind, when she opened her mouth to instinctively make a smart remark, she couldn't even speak.

(3rd/pov)

'He must be low on mind (Danmachi version of mana) if he wasn't then he would have vaporized me," thought Torva.

What Torva didn't realize is that Alduin had plenty of mind left and that he was making the fight last because she threatened Leafalia, one of the few who ever showed him compassion. Finally satisfied with the battle, Alduin charged Torva. Once Alduin was close Torva used her skill [Null Friction, this ability allows her to nullify all friction in a 1-meter radius. Alduin suddenly picked up too much speed and glided towards the crystal. As Torva tried to make her way towards the exit she was punched in the gut by Alduin. The punch shattered her rib cage causing her ribs to puncture her heart and lungs. As Alduin slammed into the crystal it reacted to him activating the sealing spell. The exterior of the crystal transformed into a jelly-like substance that started to suck Alduin in. Torva's broken body hit the floor with a thud; Torva was dying because one of the ribs punctured her stomach and the acid was destroying her organs. A white mist slowly erupted from Torva's body and disappeared without a trace, to Leafalia this felt very soul-like. Leafalia slowly came out of her trance to see the crystal swallowing Alduin and Torva bleeding out on the ground. Leafalia ran towards Alduin, who was slowly being engulfed by the cyan blue crystal. Leafalia stood in front of Alduin crying, staring at him, her dark blue eyes locking onto his orange serpent-like eyes. Leafalia noticed a tinge of sadness in his gaze.

"You know, its funny; in the end, Torva still reached her goal," said Alduin, looking at the broken Torva laying on the floor.

"Hang on Alduin I'll break the spell," said Leafalia starting to chant.

"Don't bother, the sealing power of this crystal couldn't possibly be broken, even by me, I simply have to wait for the spell to reach the point that I can be released," said Alduin.

"Alright then, I will come back and release you no matter how long I have to wait," declared Leafalia.

Alduin sat there for a second speechless. Then something really rare happened, Alduin smiled a true smile of happiness, not one of necessity.

"Thank you Leafalia; however, I am sad to say that you could not wait long enough," said Alduin, his smile turning back to his neutral expression.

"What do you mean Alduin, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes," insisted Leafalia.

"Sorry Leafalia, but I'll be stuck here for at least 500 years," said Alduin with an optimistic tone trying to keep Leafalia from crying.

"Wait, what," said Leafalia in disbelief.

"I'm sorry Leafalia, you truly one whom I can call a friend," said Alduin holding out his hand as he was still being consumed by the crystal.

Leafalia took his hand and lowered her head and started to cry, "You idiot," said Leafalia squeezing Alduin's hand. Leafalia stayed still and cried until the Alduin finally spoke.

"Leafalia I need you to look into my eyes one last time, please," pleaded Alduin.

Leafalia looked into Alduin's eye's, and he was crying, this surprised Leafalia and then Alduin activated his ability.

[Dominance]," Leafalia's pupils went blank as she stood there awaiting instructions, "Return home, never return to Oratoria, and never mention my name or where I am hidden, do you understand your command," Asked Alduin.

Leafalia nodded as if she were a puppet controlled by strings. Alduin looked into Leafalia's eyes one more time and shed his last tear. He snapped his fingers as he thought of the High elf forest. A gray splotch appeared onto a nearby wall and slowly started to transform into a swirling gray vortex.

"Leafalia take this portal to your home and enjoy your life, I'm sorry it is not the one you wanted, but at least you will be safe," said Alduin.

Leafalia slowly walked through the portal, it was almost as if her body was trying to resist [Dominance]. When Leafalia was through, the portal collapsed in on its self.

"I've kept my promise Leafalia, now I must sleep," said Alduin to himself.

The Crystal was slowly consuming him inch by inch; however, it was a slow prosses.

Knowing his fate is sealed he gives one last remark, "It's funny Zeus, even though you told me not to seek revenge, my enemy simply put themselves in front of me, leave me for a while Zeus, I need time to think," said Alduin aloud to nobody.

Alduin knew that one of the members of the Zeus familia can use [Clairvoyance], which is a skill that allows one to remotely view another or a group of people. Zeus in his office viewing Alduin, let out a sigh and agreed mentally to allow him some much-needed rest after his many years of loyalty. Alduin was finally absorbed by the crystal completely

'I guess this is my home for the next 500 years, better get used to it fast, I wonder if the others will be okay,' Alduin thought to himself.

In the end, Alduin decided to stop worrying, and to finally get over what happened that day, that truly terrible day.

As promised, I have finished up the "back story" of Alduin or The Leviathan, now I am going to tie it into the main Danmachi story. A warning, I will have to change some of the lore of the series to fit the story; however, most of the lore will stay the same and the parts that are changing, most won't even be noticed unless you have searched the Wiki for the information. Before chapter 6 comes out I'm going to make a special bonus chapter. What's in the bonus chapter you may ask, well that's what makes it special.
