Chapter 4: Threat

There was an incredible dark corridor magnificently built, also highlighting decorations belonging to an upper class.

Although they looked like antique objects, their first-class quality was noticeable at a glance.

On the way down this corridor, an older important person was walking to his respective office which was at the end of this gloomy dark corridor where there was nothing to illuminate.

Lord Astaroth was confused for some reason.

He even had a chill running through his body.

He kept walking straight to his office, not caring about the chill.

Once he reached the door of his office, he slowly brought his hand to the handle to enter his own office.

For some reason his hand was opposed to turning the handle to enter.

As if he fears that something bad is going to happen to him when he opens the door.

He began to breathe slowly as he thought to himself that nothing bad was going to happen.

Until he decided to bravely move forward by opening the door to see that there is nothing to fear inside his own office.

It was like another normal office highlighting its premium decorations.

Looking around at the furniture, tables, coat rack, chairs, lamps, sofa, your desk and your favorite armchair.

Where sat a dark silhouette with its luminous red eyes.

...

...

...

He had a sudden fright; he hadn't noticed the presence of that mysterious being.

But he forcibly remembered again, and looking at his memories, at no time was that mysterious being in his armchair.

... Then he showed up just now as he checked the surroundings of his office.

—Who the hell are you?!

He asked excitedly, not hiding his fright at the mysterious being.

He ended up being surprised back.

The mysterious being had disappeared.

—What the hell was that?

He tried to calm down as he kept an eye on his surroundings in case the dark silhouette magically appeared.

Killing intent!

Lord Astaroth froze.

His body didn't obey his mind. Even his mind went blank from the sudden pressure falling into his body.

He felt the blades of blades running through his entire body, he felt that if he took a step he would die instantly.

Right now, his life was in the hands of his predator.

I couldn't compete with him.

He began to get goosebumps as he glanced sideways to his right, seeing the dark silhouette slowly advancing in front of him.

I could see all that darkness in his "body" where he began to feel nauseous. That darkness gave off destructive emotions, bloodlust, murder, deaths, malfeasive madness, and more disgusting emotions that came from a monster that only likes to kill and see blood around it.

And his red eyes, which glowed with a desire to fight and kill, stared with a repulsive desire to kill him.

It seemed that his life had come to an end today.

—I can't kill you right now, but don't worry, I'm sure I'll come for your life; After all. You have a clairvoyant magic that will bother me in the future, for now enjoy your life that is already told Lord Astaroth.

Without warning, a deep, monotonous voice was heard coming from the dark silhouette.

Even as it appeared, it had disappeared immediately.

For now, his life was not in danger... Or maybe not.

It seems that he has no escape and that his life will come to an end sooner than he had imagined...

Suddenly, he felt like his body was being rocked by someone until he began to regain consciousness.

He was sitting in his armchair and his upper body was leaning on the desk on top of several documents that had information about his territory.

He realized very quickly that he had slept in his office.

He saw his son Diodora on his left side as he looked at him in confusion.

—Father, did something happen?

His son asked with a strange concern in his voice.

—No, why?

He calmly replied to his son.

—You're pale and sweating, too.

His son said as he handed him a small mirror to see his face.

Where he was right.

He was pale and sweating profusely.

Until he remembered the "nightmare."

—Ha, ha, ha. —I laughed nervously as I settled my body on the couch. —It's nothing worrisome, I had a little nightmare, you can leave with peace of mind.

Still with a worried look, Diodora nodded to his request and began to leave the office.

—Haa~. What a strange nightmare I had...

Now he was in limbo, whether what he saw was a nightmare or something that happened in real life.

But watching as he was sleeping in his office until he was woken up by his son.

I correctly conclude that it was a nightmare.

But even so, there was still an unknown.

How the hell did I get to him?

—At least it gave me an important clue. My clairvoyance is something that will bother him, and he will want to kill me... But who will it be?... I don't know anyone in my circles who is bothered by my clairvoyance, haa~ there are too many demons that maybe if it bothers you, finding it is like a needle in a haystack.

He also started leaving his office to try to get help from someone else, he couldn't do this job alone.

His life was in a delicate balance, suspended between the threat of death and the uncertainty of tomorrow.

—Several months later. —

He had spent the months where he had already turned 11 with Rias.

I had also already met my fiancée Ravel Phenex.

I can only say that in the future she will become a beautiful woman.

Something that can be backed up by Ravel's mother Phenex.

He has an elegant way of acting. A woman who would attract the attention of several men and even women.

Well, leaving that topic aside. I was training with Esdeath and even Rias.

I'm happy that he's agreed to train with us.

After all... she didn't train much, she has great confidence in the destruction magic of the Bael bloodline.

Mmm... What can I say... is she stupid?

Even if I feel bad for calling her that, after all, she's my precious sister, but she should learn things the hard way.

I entrusted Esdeath to fight Rias and destroy the confidence she had in destruction magic, so that she could then take rigorous training to become strong.

The result of the fight?

A trauma of Rias.

I had to be with her all the time and help her recover mentally and emotionally.

I didn't want to be around Esdeath for the world.

Something that pierced a big guilt in my head.

After all... I chose the wrong person to destroy Rias's trust.

Esdeath was a lover of fighting and especially of playing with her enemy as if she were a fearful mouse escaping from her predator.

Something that excited her.

I saw the fight that was clearly not a fight when you watched as Esdeath played with Rias destroying her psyche and heart. Esdeath's face showed a delight of amusement. And Rias's face was quite the opposite...

Her eyes no longer showed life, it was just a face of terror and horror for the person in front of her who was having fun playing where she was clearly a fearful little mouse escaping from her predator that was Esdeath.

Rias shouted just one word: "Get away."

As if his life depended on a thread.

It was like that throughout the fight.

Where she hid and then screamed in fear: "Get away."

After all, Esdeath found her easily as she moved to the side very close to her ear to whisper, "Hehehe, I found you my little mouse."

In a gloomy voice.

It didn't help that it was night and a dark forest all empty where you could barely hear some sounds like the Owl and the wind in the human world.

...

It was a perfect place to shoot a horror movie, to be honest...

Yes... I don't think it was a smart decision...

The next time I decide the location and time for a fight.

I spent 3 months helping Rias in his recovery.

I was fighting with Mikoto-nii.

It was a 2v1 fight, where Esdeath was my partner.

Where I have bad memories of her.

I still have nightmares about that night in the woods.

But it wasn't all bad, sometimes I go to Mikoto-nii's room to sleep because of the "nightmares" I have from time to time.

Sleeping with Mikoto-nii is very comforting and enjoyable, I can feel a tranquility and peace in sleeping next to him snuggling on his arm.

It was the best thing in the world for me.

Even if I was traumatized for 3 months.

I also sometimes hear that gloomy "Jijiji" laugh tormenting my mind.

I get chills just remembering it.

Esdeath eventually became the [Queen] of Mikoto-nii's peerage.

My father also told me that I had to start building my own peerage.

As fate would have it, or maybe my luck, when I was walking with Mikoto-nii in the human world, I met the right person for my peerage where I end up being my [Queen] and best friend.

Akeno Himejima.

A hybrid Fallen Angel, with human blood from a Priestess.

Right now, he was at home doing... the truth is no idea, perhaps receiving etiquette lessons on how a [Queen] of the Gremory Clan should behave.

I'd better stop thinking about something else and concentrate on my match.

Ha ha ha!

I'm very excited.

Mikoto had become stronger, where I ended up becoming the [Queen] of her peerage.

Right now, we're in a 2 vs 1 fight where we're even losing.

Impressive!

I end up using some fighting techniques that I don't know, where I end up getting interested; I'll ask him later what he's called to train him as well.

He grabbed Rias by the wrist to throw it into the air and gave it a spinning kick in the air with force and buried it in a gigantic rock where it was stuck like a pin.

I went to Mikoto to have the hand-to-hand confrontation.

All the fights we have are almost always hand-to-hand, magic aside.

It's interesting this kind of fight, really.

Feeling the enemy's blood dripping on my skin fills me with euphoric emotion.

Crack!

I received a heavy punch from Mikoto in the face with my body falling to the rocky ground with force where it started to crack behind my head.

I could feel the blood coming out of my nose, I think I received a strong stimulus in my head causing a nosebleed.

Mikoto hadn't stopped, grabbing the ankles of my legs to lift me up and down hard to whip my body against the rocky ground.

Now I could feel the blood rushing to my head from the frantic movements up and down to end up hitting the ground.

Aaahhh, I feel like I'm going to pass out.

Mikoto kept using my body like a rag hitting the ground until I stopped and threw my body in the air.

Oh shit.

As I fell, I looked at Mikoto doing a pose to prepare her right leg to hit me... This will be painful.

Contrary to what I had thought, Mikoto didn't attack me with her leg; He was moving forward with his left elbow where he connected with my solar plexus.

This was just as painful.

It's the last thing I thought about until I passed out.

Phew...

It was a good fight.

I thought that as I watched the passed-out bodies of Rias and Esdeath.

Well, maybe for them it wasn't a good fight.

I grabbed the body of each one and started carrying them like a sack of potatoes, it's time to go home; In addition, they will need a good rest to recover.

I began to open a portal to get home quickly and leave them in the care of the servants.

After that I started to leave in the direction of the bathroom, my body needed a refreshing shower.

"You really have a drastic growth."

Said a voice in my head.

—I suppose you're right, but maybe it's not enough; I have bruises and small wounds all over my body, so metaphorically speaking I'm still lacking growth.

I replied as I looked at the bathroom mirror my whole body bruised; I still needed more training if I don't want to have difficulties in a fight to the death.

I started undressing and went to a shower to wet my entire bruised body to cleanse my body.

After that I went to the large bathtub that looks like a thermal bath to finally bathe in the hot water.

As I relaxed from bathing, I spoke in the voice of my head.

He introduced himself to me last month in a dream, he introduced himself as: Sengo Muramasa.

He also said something chilling that froze my blood.

The katana that I had obtained by killing the demon that almost killed Elisa-san was in the possession of my older brother Sirzechs.

But for some strange reason he had been easily robbed by that demon and then escaped.

Something in my head was alarmed of imminent danger.

As if everything had been planned by someone meticulously. In order for the katana to fall into my possession, I even thought my brother was the mastermind until I discarded that idea, I remembered his surprised face at how the hell I had the katana in my hand.

... Or maybe he's really good at acting and I ate his show...

Let go of those thoughts, I don't need to worry forever about the smallest details.

Remembering the time, he introduced himself, my head had made a clip, as if I was already one step away from remembering who I am. But no matter how hard I tried, I didn't remember anything, so I got the idea that Sengo Muramasa wasn't the name I was looking for, but it was the closest to my past, something incredibly rare, it was like seeing something, but at the same time not seeing it.

Like my psyche was playing a trick on me to me up.

I let go of those thoughts for now and focused on relaxing, taking a bath while chatting with Sengo Muramasa.

—A few days later. —

I was in Elisa-san's dining room having... a date?... I think so, with my fiancée Ravel Phenex.

—She's a girl.

I said that to Elisa-san while frowning in reprimand so that she wouldn't make the same mistake from the past again.

—I know... Don't worry, I won't throw the glass of juice on your precious clothes.

She said in an unheard-of low tone as she made her way to the kitchen, the first time I brought Ravel Phenex to Elisa-san's dining room, she had been harassed?, by Elisa-san's actions; her emotions got the better of her, causing her to lose her morals, where she pretended to fall on purpose so that the glass of juice would fall to Ravel, obstructing our meeting, where she ended up leaving.

I had become angry at her for her actions.

He only replied that his jealousy worked against him.

I drew a blank at that moment, but I still replied, "Are you jealous of a girl?"

"You don't understand because you're not in love!" That's what he told me.

Maybe he's right. I'm not in love with anyone and I'm not in love with Elisa-san, she is appreciated to me as a friend and my caregiver.

So, she couldn't be jealous even if some man wanted to make a move with her, just let it go; Maybe it wasn't my problem.

But it also worked against me by receiving an angry look from Elisa-san.

Had he already said that he wasn't in love with Elisa-san?

—It's been a while since we've met, Mikoto-sama.

Ravel said, interrupting my monologue.

She behaved like a refined young lady with graceful movements.

He must have received a lot of label training.

The truth is that I didn't care about labels, but I still behaved politely.

It has already been ingrained in my being.

—It's been 2 months, I don't think it's a long time, really; But anyway, thank you for accepting my invitation to come to a place of an unfortunate incident in the past.

I began to speak in a moderate tone.

—Don't worry, Mikoto-sama, maybe it was a small mistake caused by Lady Elisa.

I wish you hadn't said that word poisonously at the end to Elisa-san, I really don't want to be caught up in a women's fight.

Elisa-san had heard what Ravel had said, and a small vein could be seen on his forehead as he prepared the plates of food.

—Mikoto-sama, you must know about the upcoming meeting of all the heirs of the important clans, is Mikoto-sama going to attend the meeting?

Ravel asked why an important meeting formalized a presentation of all the important heirs of each Clan. The truth is that he didn't intend to go, but for obvious reasons of being the next heir to the Gremory Clan, he had an obligation to attend such a meeting.

—Haah~. I think so, I'm obligated to participate in that meeting, well; I won't be able to see you in that meeting, I would really like to talk to you because I'm sure I'd get bored without your precious presence, you're like a beautiful lotus flower relaxing and calm in a lake where you will always get my attention even on such a tragic day for me.

I ended up smiling at the end of saying my words, being with Ravel was relaxing.

It seems that my words affected her somewhat, you could see a little blushes on her delicate cheeks.

—There's no need to worry Mikoto-sama, the non-heirs are also going to participate in the meeting to socialize equally with the children of other clans and maybe formalize a friendship. —He said as he looked away a little so as not to look at me.

She was embarrassed.

I have to be more careful with my words, I really don't want her to fall in love with me, I would like to have a great friendship with her.

Shhhhhhh!

I got a chill down my spine where Elisa-san had brought the plates of food.

There was a solemn darkness in his features as he looked at me.

—You never said that kind of thing to me.

Elisa-san said with severe anger and hatred.

—To me, Elisa-san is a very funny person.

—That doesn't make me happy.

He left once leaving our plates of food.

I think I'll need to calm her down and see how I can improve her mood.

I thought nervously.

—Ha, ha, ha. I think it will be better to eat before the food gets cold because of the icy atmosphere that Elisa-san gives off.

—Got it, Mikoto-sama.

We proceeded to eat while Elisa-san's icy atmosphere was felt.

I think if she's too angry.

I'll see how I manage later.

I regret my decision.

The next day after the appointment with Ravel.

Elisa-san ended up forcing me to wear a waiter's suit... But that wasn't the only thing...

I had cat ears and also a strap on my hip that had a cat tail on it.

Now I find myself working in the soup kitchen getting the attention of many people which includes more women, they seemed hungry for some strange reason; My body felt many chills as if my purity had been desecrated over and over again.

A very strange request to make Elisa-san happy.

I'll be more careful next time.

I don't want to know that you can ask Elisa-san as a reward to improve your mood because of me.

I'd better continue doing my job, I don't want to crush my mind of possibilities that I wouldn't like to think about on Elisa-san's part.

—Sirzechs' office. —

There was a strange sight inside Sirzechs's office, as if a hurricane had swept through the entire room.

Sirzechs was on his knees on the floor, but he was not injured.

But he was in a cold sweat.

In that you get to see a beautiful albino teenager with blood-red eyes dressed elegantly in: a loose white blouse, a black lace skirt placed under her chest that reached to her knees, a small plain black cape on her shoulders held by a small hook, she has a black tie bow adorned with a golden chain in the shape of a bat where the tips of the wings at the bottom She had a cross in each corner, this was on the second button of her blouse; In her left ear she also has a cross earring.

This beautiful albino looked down on Sirzechs as if he wasn't someone important in the underworld.

But he wore a smug smile, and near his thin lips was a smear of blood.

Looking closely at Sirzechs who had his left hand covering something on his neck, where a small trace of blood could be seen coming out of two small holes as if someone had made them with small needles.

But looking back at the albino teenager on her lips, she was most likely to blame for making those holes in Sirzechs' neck.

Smiling slightly, the fangs could be seen.

A vampire in the underworld?

And he finds himself in front of Sirzechs who was in a bad state of mind.

Without warning, the albino began to speak.

—What I just did is give you a little extra to make you stronger, right now you must make an effort to control it for your benefit if you want to become stronger.

—Why are you doing it?! —A hysterical Sirzechs shouted.

—Fufufu, very easy; Much to my father's amusement, he is a battle freak, but he also likes to make his opponents stronger; It would be a bore for him to have a battle where it will be easy for him to win. So, I'm giving a little help, he's sure to make his own moves later on, he likes to be a puppeteer while looking for enemies with greater potential.

—Your father?!

—Fufufu, you don't need to know who he is; he will surely introduce himself in the future.

Sirzechs didn't understand anything, couldn't visualize what she had been thinking since he met her; she just knew that she was afraid of him, even a Maou like him who is considered the strongest in the Underworld, couldn't make him face her.

—Oh, by the way, I recommend you stabilize that quick power bonus, or you'll become a thoughtless monster you might kill your own family; I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that. Remember that this little gift was for "that."

In finishing saying that, the albino made a small turn showing her back revealing something written behind the small cloak where she had a print written 「恶」 (Evil), she had instantly disappeared from Sirzechs' sight as if she had never been in front of him, there was no magic trace in the air.

His abilities are to be feared, Sirzechs thought.

Then he quickly remembered what the albino said about "it."

He collapsed to the ground feeling desperate.

Now he was fearing for his family's future.

He knew exactly what he was talking about since he was the one who had let that demon escape so that the katana could reach his little brother, Mikoto.

Now the katana was a bad omen.

He couldn't snatch it out of Mikoto's hands, his life is also at the mercy of the albino, one wrong move and his heart could be crushed.

He could only cry out of helplessness, that she had met him was a bad move of fate.

For now, he must obey her order, he needed to stabilize the plus she had given him, he was dying inside and losing his sanity, as she had told him he would turn into a monster.

It was a tragic night for Sirzechs as he struggled to control himself and take control of a new force for himself, and the uncertainty of what might happen in the future.

As a strange, transparent dome slowly faded from his office, he began to hear the noises from outside the place he was locked in.

He started to leave while he was in a bad state, he needed to warn the other Maous, the girl didn't forbid him that, she only had the order that he would not take Mikoto's katana; but he was also afraid of why he wanted Mikoto to get the katana, an answer he will have to look for another time.

For now he needed to become stronger together with the Maous and explain the whole situation to him for what may come in the future, he no longer had an enemy like the old faction; There was another monster that could easily wipe out the underworld and needed more strength to counter it or even if it was lucky to kill it so that the underworld would be at peace.

She was a very big threat.

Hello, finally the promised chapter that I had said in Restarting that I was going to do, for now I think that I am going to finally advance the first part that I had in mind, but the girl you saw at the end had not thought about it the truth, well that it was a vampire the truth I had not thought of it, but that it would appear in a future chapter if I had planned it, I can't see how I can finish the first part that I want to get to with Mikoto (Muramasa) young.

Well, I'll say goodbye, someday I'll release another chapter, chao.
