(Chapter 14: Burn the Wolf)
December had soon enough come with a quickness that was matched by the swiftness of Gin's reputation going down the drain once Adrian put out and published how Gin for the past 2 years has been a serial rapist and sexual assaulter, with a bulk of the female body coming out in vicious outcry of what Gin had done to them. Suffice to say Gin's image of being known as the pretty-boy upperclassmen that you couldn't help but be enamored by was quickly shattered, and as such was consistently attacked by the female students in vengeance and monstrous disgust of his actions.
With Adrian in the meanwhile feeling on top of the world considering that he pretty much obliterated Gin's reputation to the point of having made him the equivalent of a plague-riddled leper, something that brought a massive amount of glee to Adrian. While that going on Adrian had been putting an emphasis on leveling up his Engineer and White Mage class, as he had been working overtime in the Demon Dungeon to get it to Level 35 and getting Engineer to level 34 from building attack drones, aerial attack drones, attack turrets and flash-bombs as examples.
(Demon Dungeon, 6:54 Pm, December 7th, 2016)
It was 6 minutes till 7 at night as Adrian was with a number of his attack drones modeled after Droideka's and Super Battle Droids from the Clone wars television series, as he was once again coming up on the 2nd mini-boss of the Demon Dungeon. With him having them go forth and attack said mini-boss while he went to check what new sorts of abilities he gained from his White Mage class, while eating more of the cookies Kurumu had baked for him.
"While they're taking him down a few pegs. Let's see what goodies I get from doing this good in my White Mage class." Adrian spoke as he pulled up his tab on his White Mage class to see what all new stuff he'd gained
Vitality Drain
MP Cost: 5,100 per 10 seconds
Range: 40 feet
Type: Cone
Description: Sometimes it isn't enough to give life to others and heal them. Instead, you must take that precious vitality and sap it away from others so that you may live to fight another day. You drain the life-force of all enemies within range of the spell for 4,800+ (INT*3) Necrotic Damage. Gaining Half of the damage dealt to the target as HP.
Holy Malediction
MP Cost:5,400 per 10 seconds
Range: 30 feet
Type: Line
Description: You condemn your target with a beam of divine energy that punishes them with radiance and revitalizes you and your allies. This attack deals 8,100+ (INT*4) Radiant Damage to an enemy in range. While also dealing an additional amount of Radiant Damage equal to (WIS+CON) *3 over the next minute. You and up to 3 allies regain HP equal to this damage dealt over the next minute.
Zone of Truth
MP Cost: 6,000 per minute
Range: 60 feet
Type: Sphere
Description: Tired of people bullshitting you and just lying to your fucking face. Well, with the Zone of Truth they'll speak the truth and only but the truth. When you cast the spell all creatures within a 15 foot sphere of the casting point must make a Charisma saving throw against your INT. If they fail they're unable to speak any deliberate lie for the duration of the spell. Yet the creature can avoid answering the questions if they're aware of the spell and can be evasive in their questions as long as it remains in the boundaries of the truth.
"Vitality Drain and Holy Malediction for the win! Also, finally, I got a lie detector spell!" Adrian cheered to himself as he was gonna make great use Holy Malediction and Vitality Drain and especially Zone of Truth to make the chances of double-crosses far more slim
That out of the way he went to see how his drones were fairing against Scrap Archfiend which they were fairing surprisingly well considering that their laser blasts had been able to leave a considerable number of dents against the demonically powered machine. Yet still not enough to seriously overwhelm it evident by even with the decent amount of damage dealt by the dents and scorch marks in its armors, that it was still able to smash and crush his attack droids with impunity, something that he decided to take notes on in noting to work on making the next series have improved armor plating and increase the power of their blasters by 25-35%.
Once he saw that around half of his attack droids had been destroyed he dismissed the rest of the remaining ones, as he had written down all of what he needed in order to start improving his attack droids for future use. He soon rushed forth and once he was within the maximum range he used Admonish to knock down Scrap Archfiend with it letting out a roar from being damaged by the radiant energy, as it felt itself unable to move.
Something of which was followed up by him running forth and bombarding the demonically powered machine with a bombardment of Holy Malediction, the multiple beams of divine radiance crashing into it scorching and eating away at its armor. The flashes of emerald light coming to a close one Adrian saw the 2 story tall beast of machinery and demonic power rise to its feet and with a mighty roar make the charge towards Adrian, who already was trying to think of a way to counter the creature.
"I wonder how it'll get its way out of this? Since Judgement Dragon had its wings, I wonder.." Adrian pondered to himself as he cast Molten Mire at the charging Scrap Archfiend
With Scrap Archfiend finding its movements greatly reduced as it tried in vain to sluggishly move out of the swamp made of bubbling molten rock that melted away at its metal carapace, every effort made in struggling against it. All the while Adrian had teleported some 60 feet away from the struggling mechanized demon with amusement as he watched it struggle to escape the quicksand-like mire of magma that melted and scorched the creature.
The mechanized archfiend roared and writhing as it was melted away by the magma as it scrambled to try and claw its now half molten form out of the mire as it used all of its demonic energy stored within and diverted it to its wings. Adrian watched as its wings began pulsing with scarlet colored light as it forced its body slowly but surely out of the mire of bubbling magma, which saw its body that had its lower half completely melted away from his swamp of molten rock as it began to lift off the ground.
Yet it didn't get far as Adrian merely snapped his fingers and cast Light Chains, causing the bindings of radiant energy to burst out of the magma and slam Scrap Archfiend back down into the magma with slick whoosh as it found itself submerged in its depths once again. The Gamer in watching as Scrap Archfiend's attempts at getting away were soon rendered in vain as the combination of Molten Mire and Light Chains made escape all but futile, as within mere moments Scrap Archfiend was...well reduced to molten scrap.
"Well, its official. Light Chains plus Molten Mire make one hell of a combination." Adrian noted as he took out a notepad and wrote down of how the combination of the two spells were extremely effective
Once that was done and over with Adrian returned back to his dorm-room and changed out of his clothes which were covered in grime, ash and a few scorch marks here and there and was currently just chilling out until Mizore got back with snacks for their movie night.
"Dang it, I'm so stupid close to getting to Level 40." Adrian cursed at the fact that Scrap Archfiend had just barely gotten him to Level 39
Well, your getting past the easy stuff of that class. So its gonna be natural your gonna come up short in your levels, you dipshit.
"Fair point. Still one thing that I've been wondering if its possible, is if my power in White Mage can be used for something I've always wanted to try." Adrian pondered to himself
What exactly do you have planned?
"Soon enough I'm gonna be squaring up more and more with stuff from Fairy Tale and even what Kaneshiro is gonna be soon clashing with me. So that means I'm gonna eventually need help on that front. Which means I'm gonna have to figure out some way to override that rosary on Moka and bring out the big guns for a team up." Adrian spoke as he had his hands arc with bursts of holy magic
So you want to know if its possible for you to channel enough White Magic into the vampire's rosary, so you can either override it and force out Inner Moka. Or weaken the seal to the point you can bypass its safeguard to rip it off.
"Yeah, more or less. Because it is a possibility, as I'm pretty sure that if I pumped enough of my holy magic into the sucker that it'll either come off or I override it into having Inner Moka come out." Adrian theorized at the fact that it would certainly be possible to do so
It is definitely possible to do so. Considering that since its never been exposed to Holy Magic in any serious amount within its creation. Then I would say yes it is possible for you to do so, although the feat of doing so would take up a considerable portion of your mana to pull off.
"Luckily enough I've got a butt-ton of magic to work with. So I guess I'll find out when I test it out." Adrian said in being more than confident that he had enough mana to pull of the feat
"Hey Adrian, could you open up the door?! I got the snacks for movie night!" Mizore called out as Adrian went to the door
"Ah sweet! Anyways, I hope your ready for Fist of the North Star, and I also got Son of Batman, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and Justice League vs Teen Titans, on deck for movie night." Adrian rattled off at the movies he had prepped for their movie night
"This is gonna be great! I'll go get the popcorn ready." Mizore said as she went to get all of their snacks ready while Adrian put in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
'Man, my life is pretty dope.' Adrian thought to himself as he spent the rest of the night watching movies with Mizore
(The next night later, December 8th, 2016, 9:45 Pm, Moka's Dorm-room)
It was around a quarter till 10 at night as Moka had finished her homework and was currently studying up on learning Russian and German, since she had nothing else to really do at the moment.
"Hopefully my Russian will be good enough for the Summer program I applied for in Volgograd." Moka said in hoping that by the end of the school year her Russian would be
"With how much you study, I will be highly surprised if those maggots don't approve you for those programs." Inner Moka spoke briefly surprising her Outer self from the sudden hearing of her voice
"Oh, I didn't expect to hear from you. Then again I've been so absorbed in my studies that I forget your even there sometimes." Moka replied in having been so absorbed in her studying and learning more of the Russian language
"You should know by now that you can't forget about me. Since I'm the one thing in your life that will never leave you." Inner Moka told her as a projection appeared in parallel to where Moka sat on her bed
"I know. Something I'm thankful for considering our family. Honestly, half the time I'm glad that I'm away from them most of the time. Because even with Kahlua being nice to me, she's the only one out of them that is. Meanwhile, Gyokuro hates my guts and Kokoa tries to kill me because I'm not you. Really, who needs enemies when you have a family like the Shuzens." Moka said as she was honestly glad that she never lived with what was her 'true' family when with the exception of Kahlua the others weren't what you'd call loving family members
"I will agree with you on the matter. Especially, concerning that Akua is...for a lack of a better term unnerving in her obsession with us." Inner Moka responded as the two gave a collective shudder in memory of Akua
"She's part of the main reason that once I become a doctor that I'm getting as far away from them as possible. To be quite frank, you know its bad when you consider your inner vampire more of a sister than your own family. Especially since I don't fit in with mother and father dearest in being a proper vampire who wants to subjugate those beneath her. Or become an assassin like Akua or Kahlua." Moka said with bitterness, cynicism coloring her otherwise cheerful sounding voice
"Even despite us being polar opposites of each other. You've always supported my dreams of being a medic and helping people. Whereby contrast you just want to fight to your heart's content and assert your dominance and crush anyone who gets in your way. Yet even in all of our contrasts with your love for the ultra-violent and my desire to simply help people and help them with what I can. That you've always been there for me. Because of that, I will always be grateful to you." Moka added in finding it nice that even while they were opposites her inner self still supported her
With that being one thing that Moka from her childhood onwards had always taken comfort in, which was that even while she and her inner vampire were polar opposites in both the figurative and literal sense that her inner self still cared for and supported her no matter what.
"Of course I will always be at your side. Although we are opposites in every conceivable sense. It still doesn't mean I won't support you in your endeavors. Now if only it weren't for this pesky rosary, then I could actually defend you from harm." Inner Moka spoke in that despite their differences she would still support her Outer self in whatever she set out to do
"Something I'm very grateful for. While its true that you can't come out to physically defend me as some bloodthirsty guardian angel. The level of power and constant killing intent you put out is sufficient enough to deter most from messing with me." Moka said thankful for the fact that while her inner self couldn't physically defend her the sheer amount of power and killing intent she outputted in her sealed state was enough to deter most
"Yes, although you do know that I can only do so much. Eventually, for all of my might that is trapped inside this rosary. That even the fear I can instill in these loathsome creatures has its limitations and that there will come those who do you harm." Inner Moka told her counterpart in that her sealed form in the rosary had its limits in what it could do to deter threats to Moka's well being
"I know. I just..I just don't want to fight against people. All I want to do is to help and to heal people, not have to kill them. Yet it seems in this academy that murder and carnage are constant in this place. So much so that it must be a miracle that students even graduate here with all of their limbs and internal organs intact." Moka remarked sourly in not wanting to cause harm to anyone and moreso just wanted to be left alone so she could further her studies and then go abroad to become a doctor
"Sadly you know full well that isn't the case. Considering that at this school its become a predator vs prey situation where strength means everything. So there will come a time where you will have to fight and prove your strength to these wretched maggots." Inner Moka spoke in knowing eventually her counterpart would have to fight sooner or later
"I shouldn't have too. I came here to get my base education and then do what I need to do, to become a doctor. Not to have to look over my shoulder and constantly fight everything in front of me. All I want is to just be left alone, is..is that too much to ask?" Moka wondered if it was too much to ask to just be left alone so she could pursue her education and go onto the medical field
"Sadly, that just isn't how things work. With us being at a school for monsters, its simply a fact of our shared existence that we won't be left alone. Because of that, we will have to fight and kill sooner or later. Especially because of what we are." Inner Moka answered back
"I..I just don't want to. Hopefully, the day will come when I'll be far away from here and just live in peace." Moka said in hope that one day she'd be away from all of the bullshit with monsters and her family and be able to live in peace as a doctor and medic
"Perhaps, it'll be somewhere far away from the Shuzens. Especially Akua. She of all people is nightmare fuel alone for what she can do and how she acts. The further away I am from her..the better." Moka added in especially wanting to be far, far, far away from Akua
If there was one thing that made Moka feel both uneasy about and even fearful of was Akua, as the Jet Black Diva was one of the few people that both Moka's wanted nothing to do with and in fact wanted to be as far away from as possible.
"I agree with you wholeheartedly on being far away from Akua. The woman is a goddamned nightmare. So us being countries, nee continents away from her sounds fantastic." Inner Moka agreed in wanting to be as far away from Akua as possible
"Hopefully some of these programs in Germany or Russia will get us a good start in that department." Moka said in knowing that these programs abroad would be the first step in getting away from Akua and then some
"In any case, I'm gonna turn in for the night. Because talking about that pitch-black nightmare is something that I'd rather not keep discussing." Moka added as she turned out the lamplight next to her
"Fair enough, goodnight Moka." Inner Moka replied before going back into the rosary
"Goodnight, to you too." Moka said as she lie in her bed before going to sleep
'One day I won't have to deal with all of this. Just one day and I'll be far away from all of them.' Moka thought to herself as she closed her eyes to sleep
(2 days later, December 10th, 2016, 9:15 Pm, Yokai Academy)
It was a few days later as Adrian had recently got back from training in the Demon Dungeon and had gotten to Level 43 of his White Mage and was now checking over his White Mage class to see what new stuff he gained while checking over the feeds from his surveillance drones.
'Might as well see what new goodies I've got.' Adrian thought to himself as he pulled up the tab for White Mage to see all of what he gained
Radiant Resistance (Apprentice) (Passive)
You now have a 30% resistance to Radiant Damage.
Guardian of Faith

"Well, looks like I'm gonna be playing around with Guardian of Faith in my downtime. Not to mention I got a fucking sunlight lazor with Dawn..oh that's gonna be fucking fun to test out." Adrian said as he was very much happy to test out both of those spells
"Now let's see what's going on here…" Adrian spoke before he looked over too a feed with Moka running from something that made his blood boil
"That fucking mutt, how dare he do this to what's mine. He's dead, he's fucking dead!" Adrian roared with such fury that his magic cracked the walls of his dorm room upon seeing Moka's partially shredded clothing
All the while Moka who on her way from the library had been cornered by Gin who transformed into his werewolf form and had tried to sexually assault her, with her mouth being bruised and her jaw cracked from his unsuccessful attempt he made from forcing her to deepthroat him. With her clothing and body having paid the price for her resistance from punches and bites on her body and her mouth stained with blood and smatterings of semen from his ruined orgasm of her kneeing him in the balls.
Yet she soon found attempts to escape Gin being in vain as seemingly out of nowhere a half-naked Gin in his werewolf form stood his beastial face a mix of anger from nearly feeling his nuts implode, and primal lust at still wanting to have his way with the pink-haired vampire. It was in this moment that Moka found herself stumble and fall over, now frozen in shock at the fact that no matter where she'd run that Gin would get to and violate her as he soon stood over her with a savage grin on his face.
With him ripping away at her skirt and panties as finally after so much chasing after her he was gonna make this bitch is own and prove his status as an alpha, by doing what no other man could and fuck this vampire into a submissive bitch. But before he could do so and thrust into her with reckless abandon, he soon felt a stream of searing flames blast into his back knocking him over and forcing him to throw Moka like she was a softball, with him looking around to see a massive chunk of molten rock and flame crashing into him immediately after sending him flying back and exploding with an intense amount of force.
All the while Gin was recovering Adrian had got to Moka and decided to distract Gin by casting a Guardian of Faith several times in quick succession, causing glowing Harlequin green plate armored figures in plate mail wielding a longsword and tower shield to appear towering over the werewolf and attack him. All the while the pyromancer quickly carried the catatonic vampire away while the guardians distracted Gin, with him not stopping until they were some 3,000 feet away from Gin thanks to him both running for dear life and abusively spamming Misty Step to get away from the rapacious werewolf.
"At least with the distance I covered thanks to me booking it like a motherfucker, and my Guardians. I should have some time." Adrian said to himself as he quickly cast Consecrated Benediction to heal Moka as a bright emerald sphere of radiant energy surrounded them and began to heal Moka's injuries
"Thank you for saving her life from that bastard mutt." Inner Moka thanked the pyromancer for his intervention
"No problem. I'm not even gonna ask how this even happened. What I do know is that fucking wolf is dead." Adrian replied as he saw the multiple bite wounds and the ones from her having been beaten on and clawed at by Gin soon close up
"While I respect your wanting to avenge what happened to my other half. Even I know that you aren't quick or strong enough to fight against the wretched dog." Inner Moka told him in knowing that in terms of sheer speed and strength Gin would tear Adrian apart in minutes
"I know that full well. Which is why I'm gonna need your help to do so." Adrian spoke as he drug Moka's unconscious form to where they would be safely inside one of the buildings of the academy
"How do you plan on going about that? Unless you can remove the rosary, which I highly doubt due to the enchantment upon it. Then the likelihood of you having my aid is slim to none." Inner Moka told him as Adrian shut the door as quietly as he could while his mana regenerated for his plan to work
"I've got an idea on how I can get you out, so we can square up against him. However, what I got is a hail Mary at best. But its the best I've got under current circumstances." Adrian replied as he began channeling large amounts of holy magic into his left hand giving it an ethereal glow that illuminated the dark hallway as he drug Moka's half-naked form into a vacant classroom
"How can you use holy magic?" Inner Moka questioned in surprise of his capability of doing so
"Not important right now. What is important is that you trust me on what I'm about to do." Adrian answered back as he channeled enough holy magic into his hand that it looked like a dense fiery miasma
"For her sake, I do." Inner Moka said as she saw no other reason not to
"Here goes nothing. Also, don't get mad at me if this hurts." Adrian told her as he gripped the rosary
That in mind he began to yank on the rosary which strained against Adrian's grasp, but with the amount of holy magic he concentrated into the silver cross which vibrated violently in his hand as the jewel flashed from blood-red to magenta to a bright absinthe green and did for around 30 seconds. Which afterwards shot off from the chain it was on and impaled itself on a nearby wall at the back of the room, where Adrian soon began to back away as he saw Moka's unmoving body begin to shake violently as though she were going through a seizure, as Adrian began to back away as bursts of deep magenta demonic energy began to burst from her body.
With the pulses of demonic energy growing in frequency more and more as she seemed to almost go into a seizure as her body became shrouded in more demonic energy, until it solidified around her into a pitch black cocoon of such dense energy that the floor crater around her and the glass cracked heavily. With the pulses of demonic energy glowing stronger until soon enough they reached their peak which had the walls and glass crack and shatter like cheap pottery as the cocoon soon stood up and peeled away in the form of bats flying off her body, made from pure concentrated demonic energy.
Once they flew away they revealed Moka's true form in the form of a silver-haired version of herself with predatory crimson eyes, pale skin and her expression more stern, noble, and arrogant looking that would've been beautiful looking had it not been filled with rage at Gin's actions. With her physical appearance having changed in her having gone up 2 bust sizes, her hips having widened, and rear end having grown considerably larger and firmer while her vampiric fangs had grown a good deal more prominent.
"Alright, now that your done. Get dressed. Because I don't think you want to go out fightin' in just your bra." Adrian spoke as he took out of his inventory some spare clothes that he tossed to the nearly naked vampire who caught them
"Anyways, if we're gonna do this. Then we're gonna need to hit him on two fronts. Because if we just go into this and try to bum rush him, then we're fucked." Adrian added as he knew that if they both went into this with just blind rage and fury that they'd get shredded in no time
"Then what do you have planned to defeat the mutt?" Inner Moka questioned as she had put on a Trivium t-shirt, and black sweatpants
"Well, here's the thing: you're fast enough to get up close to him and hit him at close range. I on the other hand can hit him from a distance and block off his trying to run away. Not to mention I've got a few things that can shut him down for a while, while you go to wreck his shit at close range... Unless you have any better ideas?" Adrian answered back in knowing that Inner Moka could cover him at close range while Adrian could do so at long-range
"Actually, that's a good idea. Besides, I've been in that rosary for so long that it'll be so much fun to finally stretch my legs." Inner Moka admitted in that if she weren't so furious with Gin right now she'd be excited that she'd get to fight
"However, after this is over. You and I are gonna spend some time knowing each other. Since I've had my eye on you for a long time, and its high time I know what your about." Inner Moka told him as she'd grown increasingly curious about Adrian and his powers, as such she wanted to know what he was about
"Sure, no problem. But now that you're all dressed up. Let's go kill us a wolf." Adrian said as his eyes glowed a deep emerald
Meanwhile, Gin was after being battered somewhat by Adrian's Guardian of Faith prowling across the campus after having defeated them and luckily having the light of the full moon to boost his physical prowess, namely his speed to such a high degree that he was able to evade them exploding upon their demise. Even still he had managed to recover from some of his wounds thanks to his powers being at their fullest from the full moon, and was now hunting down Moka who he had sensed from her powers spiking so drastically.
With him looking around for where his prey would be before he soon looked before him and saw a quartet of Fireballs come rocketing towards him, which had Gin use his great amount of speed to dodge out of the way of the raucous explosions that came from it. With the smoke clearing as Ginei was looking around for the source of where the fireballs had come from, only for Adrian to Misty Step behind him and cast Sacred Light at point-blank range to blind the werewolf.
Said werewolf was recoiling from the radiance searing at his eyes which left him open from Inner Moka rushing after him like a vengeful bullet train and unleashing a powerful roundhouse kick at his stomach that sent him spiraling away. With Adrian following to Misty Step aways towards Ginei to unleash Last Rays of the Dying Sun upon the werewolf, subjecting him to twin waves of blistering flame and frigid cold that tore into his flesh like a hungry velociraptor.
"That ought to hold him for a while." Adrian said as the two went forward to continue taking on Gin
"Do you have anything else in your bag of tricks to help against him?" Inner Moka questioned the pyromancer who cracked his knuckles
"Quite a few actually, I've got one that'll boost your attack power if I can get a clear shot on him." Adrian answered back in reference to his Zealous Sanction spell
"I'll hold him long enough for you to get a shot off." Inner Moka replied as they strode towards the one part burnt one part shivering werewolf
"I should've known you'd get in my way. As it's always you, Taylor." Gin snarled out at Adrian
"What the fuck did you expect. For me to roll over and let you be a horny beta male who can't keep it in his pants." Adrian retorted causing a guttural growl to escape from Gin
"After I'm done tearing your throat out. I can finally get back to making Akashiya my bitch!" Gin retorted as he turned his golden eyes towards Inner Moka licking his fanged mouth in a lewd manner that only infuriated the vampire
"Just die already you stupid mutt." Inner Moka snarled as she bolted after Gin with such speed the ground near shattered beneath her
With Gin meeting her charge or he would've had Adrian not used Misty Step to teleport some 20 feet away from the werewolf and with a punching motion used Volcanic Meteor to send a great chunk of molten rock and flame hurtling towards him. Gin having been so preoccupied by wanting to dominate the silver-haired vampire he was dashing towards that he didn't notice the large pickup truck-sized chunk of burning molten rock that came crashing into his side and sending him flying a few meters away, that promptly exploded into burning shards of magma.
It wasn't even moments later before Gin found himself on the receiving end of a reverse roundhouse kick from an enraged Inner Moka, which was enough to all but break his jaw as blood, saliva and fanged teeth came shooting from his skull. With Moka not letting up as she rushed up to the werewolf's still flying form and unleashed a short but devastating flurry of blows at the werewolf, all of which came with such force that they shredded his clothing and left multiple large bruises upon his body.
With Adrian having caught up with Misty Step to see Inner Moka in the middle of her attack rush as Gin had recovered and went to clamp his bloodied jaws down on Inner Moka, only for him to intercept by casting Zealous Sanction, which punished the werewolf in the form of flame-like radiance burning at his furred flesh. All the while Adrian had cast Admonish to momentarily stun the werewolf who felt the holy magic burn away at his flesh, which left him open for Inner Moka to jump up and land a vicious heel drop kick that smashed into his skull so hard that his teeth cracked like glass before she punched him square in his sternum to send him flying once again.
"I've got somethin' in my arsenal that will hold him down long enough for you to wail on him. Think you can stall him long enough for me to get it off?" Adrian asked because if Inner Moka could stall long enough he could bind the werewolf with Light Chains
"I can do more than hold off the mutt. All I need is to be within kicking distance of the lecherous whore to do what I need to." Inner Moka said as all she wanted to do was kick that rapacious dog's head clean off his shoulders
"I think you're about to get your chance to do just that. Because he's coming back for another round." Adrian told her as he felt the directed killing intent and primal bloodthirst racing towards them like a runaway freight train
All the while Ginei was racing towards them his mind fueled by rage that he was having so much trouble against that cunt that should be grateful to be fucked by a alpha wolf like himself and that fucking pissant Adrian who ruined his life to begin with. The werewolf still felt great about his chances as he felt the power of the full moon help to regenerate his burnt and heavily burnt flesh as he went to see where the duo were at, only to stop and see that neither Adrian nor Inner Moka were there.
With him having tried to sniff them out if it weren't for the fact that the silver-haired vampire's last kick decimated his nose into a bloody mess of snot and viscera, which left him to rely solely on his hearing and eyesight. Yet even with his sundered sense of smell he could sniff out the scent of burning flesh around and the feeling of something pulling him like quicksand, with him looking around with his beaten up and partially swollen face to see that he was caught in Adrian's Molten Mire spell as he soon screamed in pain as the swamp of molten rock tried to pull him under.
The werewolf scrambled for dear life and used as much of his great speed as possible to try and get out of it as it tried to drag him into his depths, Gin howling in agonizing pain as he outputted every ounce of energy into escaping from the mire. With Gin's demonic energy having blazed to life and by the sheer amount of speed and energy he forced out of himself managed out of the swamp of boiling magma and flame, tumbling out of it with a good deal of his own flesh greatly scorched by it as he whined and limped about from having it burn away modest chunks of his flesh.
While the lecherous werewolf was busy trying to recover from his wounds he was soon assaulted by Inner Moka who dashed out of cover from the trees like a bat out of hell, all to deliver a brutal mule kick to Gin's right knee as hard as possible. The werewolf howled in pain as he felt his kneecap and bones in his greatly burned lower leg shatter like glass, before another kick struck like a bullwhip at his ribcage breaking a small number of his ribs like cheap pottery.
'Gotcha.' Adrian thought as he used the moments of Inner Moka's sneak attack to bind the werewolf his Light Chains
"Let me go! Let me go right now and I won't bite you're fucking head off, Taylor!" Gin ordered from the pyromancer as he struggled against his bondings that held strong against him
"You see, I'm not the one you need to be convincing. Instead its the lovely young lady who you tried to force yourself on." Adrian told him as Inner Moka glared daggers at him seething with nothing but fury
"If you let me go free, then you can have a place at my side as my woman. No my alpha bit…." Gin tried to say but a hard punch from Inner Moka shattered his jawbone
"Shut your mouth you filthy mutt. Its high time that you knew your place." Inner Moka spat as magenta demonic energy radiated out of her
Adrian decided to wisely get out of the way from the wrathful form of Inner Moka who had waited for the light of the full moon to heal a good portion of his wounds, as she wanted to make sure that he didn't die in an instant. Once his wounds sufficiently regenerated she then unloaded every bit of anger she had onto Ginei whose body shuddered and quaked as it was turned into nothing more than a fur-covered punching bag, the rapacious werewolf could do nothing but be pummeled by her wrathful strikes that cracked the ground beneath her.
Adrian watched as her demonic aura flared more and more as she kept kicking and punching at Ginei long after his pleas for mercy and to be freed were silenced, and much more after his body had stopped moving from having holes punched into it. The rage-filled venting of her anger at not being able to protect her counterpart from being nearly raped continued until the ground was a crater where what remained of Gin's body was nothing more than a puddle of liquefied gore and pulverized bones and organs.
"Well, at least she got a portion of that out of her system." Adrian said as he looked from where the crater was and saw the vampire coming towards him
"...Thank you for rescuing my other self and releasing me. Had you not that mutt would've violated her in the worst ways possible." Inner Moka thanked the Gamer for having stepped in when he did to save Outer Moka from getting raped by Ginei
"No problem, by the way. Before we headed out I grabbed your rosary for ya." Adrian told her as he handed her the rosary
"Thank you...this has been a problematic night for me. I can't believe I let this happen." Inner Moka cursed in feeling great guilt that she failed to protect her other half
"...There wasn't much you could've done, considering you were locked up in that rosary." Adrian replied in knowing not much could be done due to her being sealed off by the rosary
"..Still. You have my thanks. However, I wish to be alone after what transpired tonight." Inner Moka said as she took the rosary and bounded off into the night
(+33 Affection to Inner Moka for having saved her counterpart from being raped. 64/100)
(+27 Obedience to Inner Moka for having fought alongside her and given her vengeance against Gin. 35/100)
(+36 Affection to Outer Moka Akashiya for having prevented her from being raped. 89/100)
(+40 Obedience to Outer Moka Akashiya for having saved her from Ginei. 74/100)
"At least a few good things came out of this shitshow." Adrian sighed to himself at the complete fuckery that was this night
(The next day. December 11th, 2016, Yokai Academy, 11:25 Am)
It was the following day after Gin had died with the atmosphere being a mostly somber one as Inner Moka was staying to herself to deal with the aftermath of what had happened. All the while Adrian was taking time to himself what with the absolute fuckery that was the night prior.
"Alright what do you want?" Adrian asked as he felt an approaching heat signature
"My name is Keito Fukunaga, and I am from the Public Security Committee." Keito introduced herself to the Gamer
"Well, Keito what is it you want?" Adrian inquired
"Our leader Kuyo, wishes to see you. If you'll follow me, I'll take you directly to him." Keito answered as the pyromancer took a moment to dust himself off
"Ok. Lead the way." Adrian told her as he got up from his seat on the bench
That in mind Keito led the way towards the dungeon-like headquarters of the Public Security Committee, which to Adrian felt was cliche as all get out considering that they could've done something to make the place look less like a stereotypical villain's lair. With him being led to a room where none other than Kuyo himself was sitting in a comfortable leather chair his composure radiating nothing but self-assurance, confidence that bordered on arrogance that was made all the more known by a smile that all but screamed 'I'm better than you' on his face.
"So we finally get to meet each other, Mr. Taylor. Please take a seat." Kuyo spoke as Keito went over to Kuyo's side and Adrian took his seat
"Can I get you anything, tea, coffee?" Kuyo offered the pyromancer
"No, I'm fine. Anyways, what can I do for you? I imagine that you wouldn't just have me come unless it was something important." Adrian spoke as in his boredom he caused a small flame to appear in his hands
"You are correct, Mr. Taylor. The reason why I had Keito come get you, was and is for a very important reason." Kuyo told him as Adrian continued to manipulate and shape the flame in his hands
"Alright, I'll bite. What's the reason for why you want me here. I mean unless you wanna thank me for killing Ginei. I swear the fucker had it coming with all of what he's done." Adrian said in disgust of the deceased werewolf
"While I am vastly appreciative of you killing Gin. Who I swore had learned his lesson after what I did to him last year. That isn't the reason why I had Keito escort you here. Although thank you for doing Yokai Academy a massive service in disposing of him." Kuyo thanked him for disposing of Gin
(+20 Reputation to Kuyo for having aided in killing Gin. 28/100)
"The reason I had you come here was simple. I want you to join the Public Security Committee." Kuyo told him as to the reason why he had Adrian come here
"Alright, while I'm down with joining you. Since you guys seem like decent company. I do have ground rules and stipulations for joining up with you guys. Because if I'm gonna work with you then I want to make clear of how I want things to go since we're gonna be partnering up." Adrian replied as he wanted to make crystal clear that he wasn't going to sign up for this without having something in his advantage
"Of course. I am a reasonable man, so I am willing to hear you out." Kuyo said in being willing to hear out what Adrian had to say
"First things first. I want to make clear that while I'm joined up with you. That we are equals in this, as I am not going to be a lackey or lapdog to anyone. Because I'll help you out no doubt, but I will not do so in being your underling. Which is why if I join up with you that I'm given the respect as your equal." Adrian told him as one thing he refused to do or have happen was be an underling to anyone
With Adrian refusing to ever be subservient to anyone or anything wherever he traveled, as he would rather have to devour salt-covered glass than ever be an underling to anyone as the thought of being in such a position infuriated him.
"That seems quite reasonable. Considering that I am all for working with someone with such power and potential that I could call an equal." Kuyo agreed to this as he was willing to do considering that Adrian had the power necessary to be his equal
"Good, good. So long as we're equals in this and that I'm respected as such. Then I have no problem working alongside you." Adrian responded in first and foremost wanting to make it clear that as long he was treated as an equal then he'd have no problem working with the kitsune
"What are some of your other stipulations?" Kuyo questioned as to what his other stipulations were
"Another one that I have is that y'all put to focus on going after Hokuto Kaneshiro and his group. Because I've been onto them for awhile now, considering that they represent a threat to everything in Yokai Academy." Adrian answered back as he wanted to start putting pressure on Kaneshiro and Anti-Thesis as soon as possible and what better way than to have Kuyo and his thugs do so
"Ah yes, Kaneshiro and his thrall of abominations. Next to Ginei, he and his group are a rather troublesome bunch despite them being disgusting abominations. Worse than even that half-breed Yukari Sendo. They are still powerful yet bothersome threats nonetheless." Kuyo said in irritation of Kaneshiro's group of abominations
"Which is why I say that we start focusing on them. Because I've done my own digging and snooping around and found out that the school nurse, Mako Yakumaru, is part of Kaneshiro's faction."Adrian told the kitsune whose brow furrowed at that information
"Of course she'd be on their side. Seeing as she had the smell of one of them on her, like the scent of death on carrion. Still that makes them even more of a problem. With her abilities at Kaneshiro's disposal she'll present a massive problem." Kuyo said knowing full well that the school nurse's abilities in mind-control and mental manipulation could present a major problem
"That's why I believe that a game plan should be set in motion to get rid of her. Because every day she's left to be around Kaneshiro and his group. Is another moment that they can use to make Yokai Academy descend into a total shitshow." Adrian replied knowing full well that Mako was one of the priority targets of Anti-Thesis
"Something that I could take care of during the Winter Break. After all, it would be a shame if she mysteriously died in a house fire." Adrian suggested in being more than happy to eliminate the school nurse and leave Hokuto with one less ally
"That sounds like a great idea. While you get to that, I will have my forces start putting pressure on Kaneshiro's group. It is high time that we started eliminating those abominations from campus, once and for all." Kuyo spoke in knowing that it was high time that Anti-Thesis started to be exterminated once and for all
"Now then, are there any more stipulations you wish to add to your joining us?" Kuyo questioned
"Yes, that I be allowed to work as more of an independent agent. So here out my reasoning before you start objecting." Adrian answered as he continued manipulating the flame this time into the shape of a bluebird that he had fly around the room
"Alright, let's hear your reasoning. Because my allowing this will be a first if you can convince me of why I should let you operate as such." Kuyo said in wanting to hear out why he should let the Gamer operate as an independent agent
"Well, let's be honest. The Public Security Committee is something to be feared no doubt. It also comes with the caveat of me not being able to move as freely as I normally would. This means I wouldn't be able to get answers as easily from people like I would otherwise. Because fear is a great tool to have when you want information out of people. But with how feared and terrified the student populace is of you guys. Then I wouldn't be able to get as much accurate information from people. Which is especially important considering that as the face of the Newspaper Club, getting people to not be overly terrified of me when I interview them is a must." Adrian told him the main reason as to why he wanted to operate as an independent agent
With the Gamer knowing that fear was an hell of an effective tool for both getting people to do what you want on top of gathering information, but using it in too much and any information gathered would be rendered worthless as the source gathered from it would be tainted from wanting to say anything to save their skin.
"After all, even you can understand that with the amount of fear gained by your group that any real information you gain. And I mean anything meaningful will be rendered useless. Cause they're just trying to save their own skin so they won't be skilled or tortured by your lot. Hence why I need to remain as an independent agent while I'm with you guys, otherwise any information gained is gonna wind up being tainted and therefore rendered useless." Adrian added which had Kuyo actually considering his words
"Your words do hold a considerable amount of weight. So I will partially grant your request to operate as an independent agent. However, Keito here will be watching over you as a shadow. You understand that while I am fine with having you work with us. That I don't quite trust you enough to let you go around doing as you please without some oversight." Kuyo replied as he would let Adrian to extent operate in this manner but not without having some eyes on him
"Fair enough, I suppose. Then again I would do the same thing in your position." Adrian said as he would've done the same thing in Kuyo's position
"One last thing, though. So long as you don't fuck with the Newspaper Club, I won't write anything bad about what you guys do." Adrian added as he felt that it would be a good enough mutual exchange on his end of things
"That sounds reasonable." Kuyo replied in finding the request decent enough to abide by
"Good. Although, I would advise you to have your committee act as an actual security committee. Because take it from someone who has spent most of the school year fending for himself. That there are a lot of bastards here that fuck around and kill people by the handful, because they know they can get away with it. All because you won't have your people step in and do something about it." Adrian pointed out as he knew that if the people were to take the Committee seriously as such then they would need to act as a real security force
"I will put your words under consideration." Kuyo said in taking heed of Adrian's words
"Good. Now, if you don't mind I'd like to excuse myself." Adrian replied as he excused himself and exited the premises
"So do you have anything to say?" Adrian asked the system once he was out of earshot from the Committee
Oh yeah. Remember how I said that the daughter of the spider woman you killed during the summer was here at Yokai?
"Yeah, what of it?" Adrian wondered
Turns out you've just met her while you were conversing with the kitsune.
"...Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that Keito is the daughter of the spider-woman I fried?" Adrian questioned as he put the resemblance between the two together
Correct. Honestly, the odds of this happening are absolutely hilarious. This is gonna make for some great entertainment, that's for sure.
"Of all things to have happen. This being one of them. My life just keeps becoming this odd combination of it being awesome and at the same time weird as all get out." Adrian said to himself in finding this development to be a quite odd one to say the least
So what will you do now?
"Do what I've been doing. Keep training until I can take out those Fairy-Tale subdivision leaders. Then after that, make preparations to head to the Harry Potter universe." Adrian responded as he headed back to his dorm-room
'Soon enough, they'll be realizing what a true dark lord is like.' Adrian thought to himself with a grin creeping across his face at how soon enough he'd show that place how a true dark lord conducted himself
So with Gin having been put out of commission by Adrian and Inner Moka being released to prevent a terrible deed done by the werewolf. Adrian now joins forces with the Public Security Committee with the intent on having them focus their sights on Anti-Thesis. How will this all resolve itself? Find out all of this in the new chapters of A Gamer among Monsters.
Now with all that out of the way, let's get onto some of the reviews from the last chapter.
Soulbow109: I thought it would be neat to give him that fetish for superhero cosplay as something as a neat little thing to set him apart from other Evil Gamers. Well hope you liked Inner Moka getting her physical debut..just not how you'd expect it to go down. Also you have to understand that Moka while she's for the most part a super nice person was not only raised around the Shuzen's for a good chunk of time, but is still a vampire. Which means that if she has to get blood from someone then its nothing personal, but her feeding and not hulking out into a blood-rage comes first. Well here's to hoping that Gin's end by Inner Moka turning him into a blood splatter was a satisfying end, I will be looking up San Otanashi later down the line to see how exactly I can fit her into the story. I checked out the Magia Erebea technique and found it was a pretty dope technique and something I may include as part of his Full Cowling, also having them bond over Power Rangers was something I felt would be nice to do and give a sense of depth that harem anime's don't explore.
TheOnlyKing: The main reason why Adrian wanted to do so was he wanted to get Mizore indebted to him seeing as how he both gets a ice-maiden assassin under his thumb and got to test out his Volcanic Lord and White Mage spells on Kotsubo as a bonus.
Lq840i: Damn..I wish I had thought of that earlier when I was writing the lead-up to the lime scene as that would've been hilarious to write. Don't worry man its really a matter of time before Adrian would get his hooks into femHarry who I'm still coming up with a name for. Once he does he'll pretty much point out and give her no real reasons to be loyal to both Gryffindor or the Britain overall considering how many times they fuck her over to where it should be a running gag. Also don't even get me started on Voldemort who pisses me off considering how he's more of a glorified terrorist than a Dark Lord, heck what's embarassing is that if he really thinks he's hot shit against muggles then he should take a look at people like Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini or Muammar Gadhafi who would make for some damn well terrifying Dark Lords.
Mckenray: That sounds like a great idea to be honest as it would be one less horcrux for him to worry about and a great way to get femHarry to trust him. With Adrian popping into the 4th year of Harry Potter about a month to month and a half before the Quidditch World Cup which should give him ample time to work with. Plus with Adrian being proactive and going Horcrux hunting the Battle at the Department of Mysteries really wouldn't happen considering by that time he would've gotten rid of a great chunk of Voldemort's horcruxes and severely weakening him in the process. Which means Sirius gets to live and a girl-who-lives falls further onto his side.
TheCuriousGuest: Well, hope you enjoyed how Inner Moka showed up as I told y'all it wouldn't be how you guys would expect. With Adrian gearing up his White Mage abilities in knowing full well that holy magic is gonna come in handy for more and more of the higher-tier monsters he'll have to face. Furthermore it'll be really hard to counter Adrian's Volcanic Lord abilities, seeing as how their all about mass destruction, AOE and denying speed based builds that zip around the landscape. Not to mention its real great at clearing out enemies en masse to where he doesn't have to hit you the first time, but once he does your fucked. Also thanks to Adrian swooping in for the save she's less jacked up than in canon and is now indebted to him as pretty much his own assassin/cute ice maiden to help him clean house and dispose of bodies. Also the likelihood of her leaving Adrian is very low. Also, thanks to Adrian's surveilance drones the whole Kurumu having the slug problem isn't gonna be that much of a problem. Seeing that once he finds out then he'll take him out for a little walk and then incinerate him.
GreyPhantomSith: I really did like the idea you gave for FemHarry which I will put to use as soon as I can. Also Adrian will drop into the 4th year of the Harry Potter universe around a month before the Quidditch World Cup incident pops off. Which means more than ample time for Adrian to start doing a lot of damage to Voldemort's reputation and drastically undercutting how many followers he'll be able to get back once he returns. Since I doubt many will follow him again once they realize that he's a charlatan that's slightly better than a Squib...granted a prodigious one but a slightly better Squib none the less. Furthermore I have plans on how things will pop off with the Dursleys and be the key point of which FemHarry turns to Adrian's side and as a ripple effect have Lupin and Remus turn on Dumbledore for leaving her with her anti-magic relatives. You are right about Saizo considering that monsters due to them having all of these conflicting interests with each other divided amongst each other and had they got their shit together probably could've enslaved or exterminated humankind. Also the idea of making Adrian his own Power Ranger battle suit based off those two sounds dope and something I'll heavily consider later down the line.
Austin: Trust me with Kurumu from this point onwards, Adrian's gonna be an extraordinarily happy man. Also a maybe on that suggestion. Furthermore having Mizore being a Power Rangers fan just seemed like a great thing to do as a bonding point for them, also no one mentions Megaforce or Super Megaforce. Considering that along with both seasons of Samurai they are the ones you don't talk about from how utterly garbage they are. Plus I've put Hero 108 on my list of stuff to watch later on in the summer. I've started watching the Mystic Knights of Tir na Nog and while the CGI is a bit hit or
Alright, that takes care of that. Since I hoped you guys liked this chapter and everything that went along with it. Yet without further delay, let's get down to it now shall we.
First things first we've got Dante doing some leveling in the Demon Dungeon and testing out his machines within it against the 2nd mini-boss of said dungeon.
After that we've got a moment between Inner Moka and Outer Moka, which I thought would be neat to do in showing what their relationship is like with each other.
Following that we've got Adrian coming in to help out Moka and Inner Moka making her physical debut into the story..just not how you guys would've expected it to go down at the very least.
Lastly, we've got Adrian joining up with Kuyo. The reason being is that what better way to weaken both the Security Committee and Anti-Thesis than by having both of them go at each other like wolves.
All that being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story out as much as possible. And flames for the most part will be ignored because at the point you're mainly wasting mine and everyone's time. Other than that constructive criticism and ideas on how to improve things are welcome.
So with that out of the way this is Pravus666 signing off until next time. The next chapter detailing what's going on with everyone before and a bit into winter break, so stay tuned for all of that good stuff.
