What's up everybody back again with another Chapter, now before we get into this chapter let me start with my rant session.
The Curse that Kazuki will be using (Which should be pretty obvious after this part) Will be used as a support for his... Future team.
Now for all you wondering,"What's the point of making him Etherious just after mastering his magic. Seems kinda dumb and rushed"
That's mostly because it mostly is. The idea with the story is to see how an ordinary boy can become great if given the right tools.
And well him becoming a low class Devil and working up in Devil Rank, Guild Rank, and possibly Wizard Saint Rank if he trains hard enough.
But the only way he'll get there is hard work and trail and error, something I don't see people doing a lot. Anyway back to the topic, his Curse will be supportive and his magic will be offensive.
So yeah... That rant took a lot more space than I thought. So I think it's time to get into the chapter.
Chapter 11: Curse
(" " is Regular Talking)
(' ' is Regular Thinking)
( "Example" is Xenovik Talking)
-Hall of Illusion-
"So you picked that Curse?" Xenovik says to Kazuki. Kazuki nods,"It's seems more of a support thing, and your magic is really powerful so there's no reason to increase the powerhouse."
Xenovik mentally nods,"Ok reasonable... But here's what I forgot to tell you." Kazuki sighs in annoyance,"You've been doing that a lot lately..."
"Well... a part of Becomig a Etherious is one of two things. 1) Realising the Seal on me or completely merging together into one being. 2) Killing me" Xenovik says seriously.
Kazuki is taken back by his words,"I don't know how I feel about this honestly" Kazuki says plainly thinking about his decisions.
"On one hand I can kill you, but to be honest you'll put up a fight and most likely kill me. Plus your extremely smart so your pretty useful is that situation."
"I'm not merging with you cause you'd most likely try to take over my mind or make me do things that I'd wouldn't want to do... So the only thing I can do is free you."
Xenovik is taken back by is statement. "Your kidding right?! Please tell me I heard wrong!" Kazuki laughs outloud,"Hey as much as I hate you and what you've done to my family... But I can admit if it wasn't for you I would never be in the state I am now."
"...So I'm grateful... In a weird "I hate you" kind of way" Kazuki says smirking. Xenovik nods,"Plus I'm very observate and realized I have magic made to kill your specific breed of Devils."
The Ruin Devil King is about to respond to that but says nothing besides a long deep sigh. "I guess you have a point... Let's get the removal over with."
Kazuki nods and waits for directions,"So how do I do this?"
"First apply magic to your stomach, cause that's where the seal itself is." Kazuki takes off his shirt and applies magic to his stomach as if on que the same pain he felt all those years ago resurface.
Kazuki fights back the pain and waits for directions but realizes his part is done. Suddenly the black seal slowly dispells itself, after almost a minute a small part of the seal is still left.
"What's the hold up!" Kazuki shouts in the pain this is causing him. "You have to destroy the rest of the seal, it's so I don't have all the power to escape. You would have to let me go"
"Ok" He reaches to his stomach and applies magic to the seal as Xenovik does the same as the seal in destroyed in a Purple light that engulfs the room.
Once Kazuki opens his eyes he see's something he never though would be possible. The same Devil in front of him from all those years ago...
"Shit that hurt!" Xenovik says sighing. Xenovik starts stretching like he just woke up,"Feels weird to have a body again."
Kazuki just stares at him before speaking his mind,"Do you think... You can like... Make some kind of human form?"
Xenovik actually thinks about that for a moment before shrugging,"Never would hurt to try."
Another bright light but this time Green appears around Xenovik as you can hear the cracking and changing of bones. Once done reveals a man around his 30's with black skin and onyx hair.
His most noticeable feature is his Green Emerald Eyes. He has on a Black Cloak with no shirt underneath showing off his muscular body. Also a dark purplish combat pants and black shoes.
"This good for ya kid?" Xenovik ask Kazuki who looks at him nodding his head liking the outfit. "Yeah... man I can't wait to get back and tell everybody about this-" Kazuki says as a buzzing sound goes off.
Kazuki looks at his ring as he requips into Crow and digs into the pouch around his cloak and see's the communication Lacrima going off.
Kazuki answers as a screen appears seeing Erza and the rest of Team Natsu with Mirajane and Makarov. "Hey guys what's up?"
Kazuki notices the serious look on their face,"What's going on? Why do you all look so pissed?" Erza takes the charge.
"Kazuki we need you here back in Magnolia at once. We've been under attack by the Guild known as Phantom Lords, Gajeel Redfox."
Natsu shoves Erza away abit,"And Gramps is saying how we shouldn't fight them even after they trashed the Guild Hall!"
"They trashed the Guild Hall?!" Kazuki says getting a bit angry before Xenovik puts his hand on his shoulder pointing to the podiums.
"I'm sorry guys but I can't return quite yet and I really gotta get going. But if anything happens call me!" Kazuki says before hanging up.
Kazuki walks over to the podiums and sits in the center of the upside down star. "Well I'm on a timer and it's pretty late let's get this over with!" Kazuki says with red eyes.
-Fairytail-
"The hell can be more important than us to him?!" Natsu says siting down crossing his arms. Lucy walks in front of the hothead,"Big brother isn't abandoning us or anything so relax."
Erza and Mira nod in agreement with Lucy. "Yes I too believe that he will be coming here shortly he just looked busy at the moment."
Natsu sighs in annoyment. Makarov turns to look at everyone,"Ok everybody it's getting late. Since we're in high alert I advice everyone travel and sleep with your team mates or someone you trust within the Guild"
Everyone nods and proceeds to leave the Guild accompanied by someone,"Jose... What's your goal here?" Makarov mumbles outloud to himself.
-Hall of Illusion-
"AHHHHH!" Kazuki says screaming his lungs out as Black markings appear all over his body. Xenovik is leaning against a podium to his left looking at him,"Told you this would hurt like a bitch."
The circle bellow Kazuki starts glowing intensely before dying out. "Good you got through stage 1... Now 2 more to go" Xenovik says.
"So... Wha-at did I just... complete?" Kazuki says out of breath. "Your done with the magical and spiritual part."
Suddenly the Glow comes back as the circle changes to a black color instead of purple as it looks like Ethernano is filling inside of him. "What is this?... Feels like magic but it isn't."
Xenovik who was messing with his own magic looks at him,"It's your curse... It's fueling up your Curse which is seperated from your magic reserves."
Kazuki nods,"But it will take about 5-6 hours to complete" Xenovik adds which makes Kazuki look at him with open eyes.
"5-6 Hours!" He shouts glaring at the Devil. "What did you think it would be over in 1,2,3?"
A deep sigh is heard from Kazuki as he awaits this portion,'Wonder how worth it this almost impossible ritual is at the end of the day.'
-Next Day-
Kazuki opens his eyes slowly as he sees Xenovik leaning against a wall looking at him,"Your finally awake I see."
Kazuki rubs his eyes,"How long have I been asleep?" Xenovik summons a magic circle on the ceiling of the roof and blows it sky high. He looks at the Suns position before looking back at Kazuki.
"8-9 Hours" Xenovik says as the ceilings rebuilds itself. 'Must be due to the illusion this place has.'
"And you let me sleep that long because?" Kazuki says plainly. Xenovik shrugs,"Didn't feel like waking you up. And frankly you should be grateful while you were asleep I did the final stage which hurts the most."
Kazuki looks at him in shock,"Wait so does that mean..." Xenovik nods knowing what his question is. Kazuki stands up looking at his body not knowing the differences.
"Shouldn't I have like a Tail, some Horns, some type of Devil skin, Wings-" Xenovik cuts him off before he can continue the list.
"Ok Mr. Racist yes you do have this but you haven't activated any of that yet. I would explain but something tells me you should get back to your little friends, they've been hitting up your Lacrima since sun rise."
Kazuki takes a deep breath,"Once again... Why didn't you wake me up?!" Before he can answer Kazuki hears some buzzing going off. He answers the call and the first thing he see's is Mira crying.
This makes his blood boil as he struggles to keep his anger in check. "Kazuki! I'm so glad you answered I don't know where your at but get here quick. Phantom is plan-" The screen gets staticky and the audio cuts out.
"Mira?!... Mira!" Kazuki yells before breaking the Lacrima into little pieces. Kazuki looks above them to the ceiling and blows it up with a small Berrow.
He uses the magic he put in his feet and jumps out into the forest. Xenovik jumps following behind him. "The only way to get there now is if you use your Curse to teleport us there."
Kazuki looks at him,"Wait it can do that?" Xenovik nods,"They can do multiple things, from making shields, Time Distortion, Platforms, Teleportation, the list is endless if the user as imagination."
Kazuki nods,"So how to I activate my Curse?"
"So you know how you occasionally turn your eyes red?" Kazuki looks at him confused. "My eyes turn red?"
"Wait so you haven't noticed?... Well it doesn't matter to make your eyes red you usually get lost in your emotions. But seeing as we fixed that by toning it down a lot just thinking about it should do it."
Kazuki thinks about his red eyes as in deed his eyes turn red but this time his vision turns blood red before going back to regular color. "Your eyes are the easiest way to tap into your new Devil blood."
"Now just focus on using your Curse." Suddenly a Purple Glyph appears under Kazuki as it turns White. "Each one of your Glyphs have different colors that represent different things. Apparently white is used for teleportation."
Kazuki having enough waiting around opens his palm towards the Glyph and moving it so its facing vertical. "Let's go!" Kazuki says as they both run through the portal.
-Fairytail-
"Erza! Don't be crazy you can't tank that blast!" Natsu cries to her being hold back by Gray and Elfman.
"Shut it Natsu before your hit with that blast yourself!" Gray yells to him. "This is your final chance! Hand over Lucy Heartfilia!" Jose says to them.
"Never! Lucy is family and your not taking her from us" Erza shouts requiping into her Adamantine Armor. "Fine have it your way pathetic fairies!"
"3..." Behind everyone at Fairytail a White Glyph appears behind them. They look back at the Glyph on edge.
"2..." Suddenly 2 blurry figures dash out the Glyph at insane speeds. The one with a cloak dashes first pulling Erza and throwing her into the crowd before she can counter him.
"Fire!" Jose says the Jupiter Canon fires directly at Fairytail. Suddenly the other man dashes insanely quickly sliding to a stop. He raises one Palm towards the beam as a gaint Blue Glyph appears in front of him.
"Huh?!" Erza says looking up at a man he's never seen before then at,"Kazuki!" Everyone yells in surprise. "WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE!"
Once the beam dies out Kazuki and Xenovik look at the gaint fortress. "You done pissed off the wrong Devil today!" Kazuki says with his red eyes and his newly mastered aura and glyphs under him.
"Time to see just how much training I'll have to do to regain my title" Xenovik says with his aura out.
A/N: Omfg well hope not a lot people expected Xenovik to be released so soon. Granted I hinted at it before but hope that most of you thought it wouldn't happen till around Edolas.
So yeah the Ruin Devil King and the Ruin Devil Emperor. That will be an interesting tag duo but it won't happen often but when it does... Shit gets crazy.
Now forgive me I was planning on giving him Illusions but making Physical Illusions practically makes anybody a god. And Glyphs in the long run was the weakest of all I can think of.
For those that don't know what Glyphs are, the glyphs I'm basing his curse of off is Weiss Schnee from RWBY. Just look up some of her fight scenes to get a better taste of the power itself.
Im also making the picture of this story the Glyph Kazuki will be using from now on. And he still has his Devil Slayer magic but is hard to switch between the 2 methods of combat seeing as they're different sources of abilities.
So yeah hope you all enjoyed. Now I really want everyone to Review for this chapter specially just to know how you guys feel about all that happened in this chapter.
And if I get enough maybe I'll personally respond to each in the beginning of the next chapter. But until then... See ya.
