Chapter 7:
"Ahhhh, this is the life," Gin said as he propped his feet over his desk.
"Also Alex, stop eating the moss," I said as Alex suddenly froze from his current position while leaving a trail of cleaned up concrete and moss slowly being dissolved with in his body.
"If you get something like an infection or an ability that screws you over I will find away to fix you," I said while Alex slowly slimed back, i'm telling him because Alex like any other slime get abilities from consuming random shit, it isn't bad per say but I don't want him to get some weird ability, he already has some abilities that he got from being a slime.
Over all his abilities are.
Dissolve, racial.
Shape shift, racial
Harden, racial
Acid, racial and a pain in the ass.
Shock absorbent, racial.
Dragon aura, consume.
Demonic aura, consume.
Holy aura, consume.
Devour, racial.
Expand, racial.
Compress, racial.
And last but not least is imbue, which I think is a learned ability? I sure as hell don't know since he just could one day.
Some of the abilities are self explanatory, but some must sound confusing, so let me explain.
Holy, demonic, and draconic aura are self explanatory but you must be wondering how in the name of fuck did he get those? I don't know either, but to my experience trying to mix demonic and holy steel are already nearly impossible to combine, even I tried, but my results are varied, depending on the quality of the material I used, since the holy or demonic element within the material is depending on the quality.
When combining both they either destroy each other, or start to eat away at each others durability so much that they become as brittle as dried leaves, but there were those rare cases that they empowered each other but sooner or later it collapses, and adding dragon steel only adds to the fire.
Dragon steel is made by dropping any normal ore or already shaped items, but having them in there raw state helps with purity, but after having your item of choice one just needs to drop it into a pool of dragon blood, let it stew in for a few days or years if you want, but depending on when you pull it out or even what metal you put in the energy of the blood, or the blood itself gets sucked up into the material, also this way you can make shit like, dragon wood, dragon rock, and basically any material that can be dunked inside the molten blood of dragons, because yes dragon blood is hot as hell, well it depends on what the element of the dragon but you get the point, though they don't actually burn anything, but putting anything that is flesh and bones that isn't already dragon related would melt inside, and I even dunked my fist in and I had some second degree burns for a few weeks.
But the reason why its bad to combine it with anything is because of the dragon nature, and anything dipped inside the dragon blood gets the dragon aura and in turn becomes draconic, and funny part about draconic materials is that it dominates, putting it together with something like an inanimate material with no aura inside it, it would just take over it, but add something that has its own aura.
Do you know what happens then? Well they start fighting for dominance, and they over all just crumble to the ground, but there is one way to actually make it work with the other, and that is to let the metal burn red hot and quench it inside the dragon blood, you get holy draconic, and demonic draconic, respectfully but combining both leads to them dissolving, I don't know why but to me its probably the dragon blood empowering the elements of each other and leads to mutual destruction.
I also used my alchemy to basically combine them and the same shit just happened, I even tried to use runes but that just ended up in only adding time.
So with all that you must ask how the fuck is he still alive?.
Honestly I cant answer that since I myself don't know, but to my knowledge is that there is three spaces that he dissolves them, but honestly I think that's a load of bull but that's the only theory I have for him still being alive so its all i got.
Hmm? Whats that? You want to know how Alex became like that? I can answer,
It was about a few months after I got Alex, he was still slightly untrained and still liked to devour random things, so when he entered my forge he saw the bits of shaved iron on the floor and the slag around the floor, so he was like, hmmm food and ate it all, and that continued for two weeks until I got suspicious of the area because in my head I could swear it was way dirtier than this, don't get me wrong it was still dusty and dirty but, its, uhhh, less… metallic? So I just shrugged it off and continued to work, but after a quick break from grinding the blade to get the blade's edge I noticed a shiny blob of gray under the grinder.
Swiftly picking it up, it squirmed a little until it stopped and I saw it was Alex, well his name wasn't Alex just yet, but it was still the same, after that experiments and most of his abilities began to appear.
Also I have to inform you that Alex isn't actually a regular slime, and i'm not pointing at his attributes, i'm talking about his mass, because at first his weight was about the same amount and size as a small dog, but as time passed bye, Alex grew, and grew, and grew, and grew, it came to the point that I could actually use him like a dam bed, and he began to disturb my work, so he learned to compress himself, and subsequently he learned to expand by releasing his compression.
With all that said and done, let me introduce you to our humble abode, a dingy, old, rusty, musty, crusty, storage house, yup I wanted to live in one for a long time now, plus with the size of the area I can easily do my shtick here, I got free space to the right…. Hmmm I might need to clean up a bit.
And a piece of wood holding the roof suddenly came crashing down.
"Yup, need to fix this place up, but luckily azazel bought me the materials I needed," I said as I walked over towards a pile of boxes.
Materials.
"Ent wood, finely chopped into uniform pieces.
Demon bear bone nails.
Dried Goliath hide and in the shape of metal roof sheath.
And a shit ton of dragon blood.
Holy silver and gold.
Along with demonic steel and demon cores.
Oh and never forget about the severed orc heads, with anti oder and rot free.
"Yup, everything is prepared," I listed one by one as I took them out of the boxes.
"Ok, now I just need to fix the area, well since everything is scrap metal here, i'll just destroy everything and build from there, also this time make sure to add the middle support if I don't want it to come crashing down on me,"
And so it began, Gin, being Gin, pulled out a grail, one of his most prized possession, he placed it on his palm, and a few magic circles later, wind began to flow, the materials began to glow, the storage house that was rusting and looked like a strong breeze away from falling down suddenly got crushed, no it did not fall, no it did not get blown away, but it got crumpled, and under that was a boy stretching his hands out as the once bolder size mush of moss, metal, wood, and glass, became the size of a tennis ball and dropped calmly at his feet, and by calmly it crashed into the dirt due to its compressed mass.
"Alright, time to get to work," I said as I used the power with in the grail to use telekinesis, and began to build my dam storage house, wood began to line up, nails driven into the wood, walls of metal roofing were placed side by side, and the shape of the storage house could already be seen, and seconds later it was done, and it looked so natural that you wouldn't believe it was just freshly made, because on the outside it still looked like the rusty and rundown building it used to be, but the in side was all brand new, floors were cleaned, walls are sparkling, and doors were placed inside the living room with no room to enter.
Afterwards I dispelled the magic barrier that hid the extra magic power I stirred up using my grail, since the cup itself is a giant beacon of power so pulling it out generally gathers unwanted attention, after storing it I walked in the warehouse.
For some that might as well be a peculiar choice of furnishing, because aside from the table's on the side, the kitchen on the other, and the small futon over a long slab of wood, would make you think that this might be a house for the insane, some would say your on point, some would say there accurate, and some would deny it but, undoubtably this is all practical.
The red door leads to the forge.
Blue door leads to the bathroom.
Green leads to the storage area.
And the yellow door is still pending.
"Alright, lets prepare Alex's favorite food," I said as I stored the grail in a sub dimension.
"Oh before that," I said as I opened the box of orc heads and swiftly slung them on the nails over the doors, then Proceeded to enter the forge and opened the giant blood bag of dragons blood and let it flow into a container, then proceeded to throw swords I had prepared for this day.
"Welp, now we wait for a day for that to ferment," and yes I am treating them like pickles, because why not, since there literally metallic pickles for Alex.
After preparing Alex's favorite I walked out and prepared a barrier around the building, its nothing special just some concealment runes along with hide and distort, after finalizing the simple barrier inside my new house I then took out the same gray cup and used telekinesis to lift up the boxes that held holy silver and gold, along with the boxes of demonic steel and demon core, and stuffed them inside the forge, same with the other materials I just stuffed them in the storage room while neatly throwing them on corners which roughly has the same material, and closed the nightmare of a storage room, and took a bath before I called it a day.
"Hmmm, still needs some refining," I said as I tossed the cup behind me into a portal as I left my house I exited the woods later and melted into the crowd
…
…
…
"Hmm," Issei said as he looked behind him to see nothing.
"Whats wrong Issei?" Asia asked as she also turned back to look where he was looking.
"Oh its nothing asia, its probably one of those food stalls I told you about," Issei quickly responded as he did smell something familiar, almost like that night when they rescued asia, a smell of ash, fire, steel, and gunpowder.
-I didn't know who the mystery person was but if i find him again he would like to thank him,- Issei thought to himself as he held the grocery bags for asia.
…
-well now, paint me pink and call me bitch because that was a close call, I thought I was far from those people cause i'm pretty far away from there bace of operations, and if I hadn't just noticed him when his eyes landed on me for a second I could have been caught, well then I might need to back track and reinforce my seals if a fresh devil could sense me,- I thought to myself as I etched some runes silently into my clothing while siphoning slivers of mana from the people around me, so that incase they got a hold of my mana signature they couldn't track me specifically.
…
[next day]
…
"Ughhhhh, FUCK!!!" A loud and clearly pained voice echoed out through the warehouse he had just recently furnished, and zed person is on the ground grunting and is letting pained saliva drip from his mouth.
"Blub, lub blub,"
"Ugh, I, i'm ok son, ugh, just, just give me a little more time," I told Alex as I grunted on the floor because what i'm doing isn't even fully finished yet.
"Blub,"
"Yeah, I know Alex, ugh, plus if I do this half baked I might just end up killing myself," I said as I got up and continued to right across my skin with a surgical knife, but it wasn't any normal surgical knife, no, no, no, because if it was it would have been to easy, and in fact it was a weapon meant for torture and modified by yours truly.
The magically modified surgical tool was meant to torture as stated before, but in what way? You may ask, well that's simple, because when you cut, peal, or stab, the enchantment on the knife will flare up and stitch the severed skin together, this may sound like a blessing but its not, the hastily stitched together wound can actually cause more harm than good, but in my case its slightly different cause I modified it, The modifications aren't anything special since its just to stabilize the healing, and to imbue magic into what it severs, but it still fucking hurts.
And that's where we are now, looking at a man sitting inside a circle with blood flowing from every part he had glided that scalpel through, though luckily they are already healed, but the drying blood is still on him, currently he only finished his torso and legs, and he is currently working on his left arm.
…
…
…
[issei]
Its been a total of a week now, since I had saved asia, her position hasn't changed but from time to time I seem to see her spacing out as she has been thinking deeply about something.
I don't blame her though, she only has until her 30's now, but despite that it looks like she hasn't changed at all, she is still as energetic and friendly as usual, she is currently stationed at my place since it's the most normal among us, though I didn't know why she was blushing when it was finalized.
I mean it made sense, Kiba is living in a one person apartment so it would be weird to invite someone in, specially a girl.
Though it would have made sense if she had lived with the president, since Akeno, and Koneko were there, but it to made sense that she didn't agree to that because they were both strangers and devils, so yeah, we even tried to buy her an apartment but that was instantly nocked down cause she would be defenseless.
And so with that she landed on my jurisdiction, seeing as I was her only friend, currently, and the only one she trusted not to mention the promise we made, and so she was on my hands, though after that miss Rias suddenly started visiting me everyday, case and point today.
"Why are you here again president? ahhh" Issei yelled out in surprise as Rias suddenly pinched his butt.
"I told you just call me Rias when we're alone," she said and despite her sitting on his back, he swore he could feel her pout.
"O, ok, miss Rias, why are you here again?" Issei said as he continued his thumb pushups.
(Sigh), "you know you can talk to me without the honorifics right Issei," she said almost jealous about something, (A/N: but Issei doesn't know that cause he is stupid, and dense, and is probably denser than the original)
"Oh, ok Rias,"
"Ok good, and as for why i'm here, i'll say it again, i'm here to over see your training," she said as Issei could here rustling of clothes from her putting her leg over her other leg.
"Ok? Then whats the training?" Issei said as she stood up signaling him to stop doing pushups.
"What do you mean by that?" She said perplexed due to the fact that Issei is already doing her training, and he is doing remarkably well at that.
"Well, i'm asking what this training would be? Since all we've been doing is my warm ups and all?" Issei asked as he scratched the back of his head.
"Ah, I, I see," was Rias's smart answer due to the fact that this generally was exhausting for newly reincarnated devils, even if they were already an athlete, because aside from the radical improvements they get from reincarnating and having an unknown magic basically enter and reshape there bodies.
So despite the quality of the human it should have taken a month at best to adapt, because aside from the magic coursing through them, there body also becomes unfamiliar with the new energy and there increased physical aptitude, so she is a little surprised at his ability to adapt.
"So, are we gonna do the special training?" Issei asked a little sheepish from her staring at him as if he was a piece of meat.
"Ahh, sorry about that, lets do it another day," she said as she noticed that is already the afternoon and was already planning to head home.
"Ahh, ok, bye Rias," Issei said with a smile while waving, and her giving him a gentle smile and a wave goodbye, and if you looked deep enough you could see her cheeks were tinged in red, that isn't added due to her makeup or natural rosie cheeks but was done by something else.
"Ok, time for me to also head home, hmmmm what route should I run through, ohh well, i'll probably pass by a super market to buy some banana milk," Issei said as he walked aimlessly with his hands behind his head.
…
[Rias]
"Welcome back Rias," Akeno said as she opened the door for her.
"Thank you Akeno, is she already here by chance," she said as she took of her shoes and placed it in the shoe rack.
"Yes, she is at the living room table with Tsubaki," Akeno calmly said as she stood to the side.
"Perfect," rias said as she took the lead and Akeno followed.
…
"So your telling me that this person jumped in, saved half of your peerage, and when you tried to interrogate him he threatened you?" As a bespectacled woman with a bob cut asked as she took in a sip of her tea.
"Correct," Rias said as she pushed her pawn forward.
"Honestly Rias i'm not surprised," she said as she moved her knight to eat Rias's pawn.
"And whats that supposed to mean Sona?" She said as she positioned her bishop to eat her knight.
"Your too straight forward, and to aggressive, so in all honesty i'm not too surprised that he took your suggestion as a threat, plus from what you said he is a mercenary and a talented one at that to corner you in such a manner," she said as she placed a pawn to intercept the bishops line of sight.
"Don't be like that Sona," Rias said as she gave up, as it was clear that if she continued the fight she would lose to her friend eating all her pieces or a checkmate.
"Hmm, so who do you think sent the mercenary?" Sona asked as she nodded and the chessboard was already being cleaned up by her queen, Tsubaki.
"Its obviously my brother," she said.
"I'm not so sure about that one Rias, you already told him off before so I doubt that," Sona said.
"Then who could it be?" Rias asked with a brow up.
"I don't know either, but from the looks of it, its someone among the 72 pillars or someone equal, so they might get a favor from you," Sona said.
And so there conversation went on, theorizing who could it be, but unknowingly knowing that they already have the culprit, but he just mailed a friend of a friend to hire a friend of a friend.
…
"Ughhhh," a silent grunt echoed through the empty warehouse as a boy could be seen in front of a desc that is in front of four colored doors, The boy in front of the desk could be seen lying down on the floor inside a circle of what looks like runes, with a surprisingly large amount of blood around him.
"Ugh, I lived, bitch," I said as I felt so weak, weak enough to not be able to stand easily, as standing up now takes a monumental amount of energy, but with stubbornness and a desk I got my half dead ass up, to which alarmed Alex enough to instantly coat me, and is helping me stand and walk like some sort of exoskeleton suit.
"Thanks," I said as I now simply walked inside the yellow door and opened the fridge, I grabbed myself an energy bar and some water.
"Hm hm hm, if Azazel knew about this I bet he would lose his mind," I said to myself with a grin as I did make a super food after he came into my room, its nothing much just a simple looking ration bar but upon consumption it gives you a week's worth of food while still providing nutrients instead of just taking long to digest, though the materials are hard to procure since half of it is monster parts and its on the dangerous side so hiring someone won't work.
After that Gin leaves the storage room and enters the forge, though its hotter than what he is used to its still bearable, simply entering and grabbing a ball he sits on his spinning chair and tries to focus on the magic ball he grabbed.
"Good," Gin smirked as he left the warehouse and leaving a ball with something inside that seems to be a small unstable light that is contained inside.
…
…
…
"RUN ISSEI," Matsuda and Motohama yelled out while they sprinted towards him, and of course an army of angry girls brandishing anything they got there hands on, some held tennis rackets, sticks, shinai's, and most curios of all a metal pipe.
"Wha—," Issei got out before he got jumped by both Motohama and Matsuda.
"RUN ISSEI PLEASE," Matsuda pleaded as he got on his back.
"Yeah, if you get us out of here will get you that gorilla grip brand you wanted," Motohama said.
"Alright, say less," Issei said as he ran, and ohh boy, when he ran he was fast as fuck, because not only is he weights free, the demonic aura within him has slowly began to set, to which resulted in what you got, Issei carrying two over sized children leaving an army of women eating his dust.
…
…
…
"Here is my latest job payment," Issei said while placing a limited edition four star dragon ball on the table.
"Oh my, isn't this one of those limited items?" Akeno said as she picked up the clear box holding the four star ball.
"Yup, and apparently there are seven total each with a corresponding star, and over all there are only 8 pairs ever made," Issei said out the information he got from his client.
"Well done Issei," Rias said as she pulled a piece of paper on a pile.
"And with that, everyone should be done, Akeno would you please call everyone here," she said as she placed the paper on the other stack.
"It would only be a moment my lady," Akeno said as she left the room.
"What about me?" Issei said.
"Oh we'll wait, and while we do that why don't you sit with me," Rias said as she sad on the couch while tapping her thighs.
"Ok," Issei said as he sat next to Rias.
"Now Issei, I must ask you, is Asia doing good?" She said.
"She is, though she wants to go to school, so were currently teaching her our language, mom and dad has really taken a liking to her, they even treat her like the daughter they never had, I mean you know how they treated you right? Because its just like that, she enjoys shopping and cute stuffed animals," he said while smiling, but his smile slowly faded.
"but aside from her daily life I can feel her weakening, I don't know what it is but it feels like her presence is slowly fading, its not to the point of something uncontrollably releasing water, but more like a faucet leaking water, its like i'm loosing her and every moment could be her last, when she sleeps I could feel her tears, when she smiles I can see her in pain, I know its no—," and Issei was cut off with a hug from Rias.
"Its ok Issei, i'll ask her tomorrow, so please, stop blaming yourself," Rias said to an Issei who silently closed his eyes and decided to lean on her shoulders, and so they stayed like that for a while.
"I'm… oh my," Akeno said smugly as she began to push a peeking Koneko, and a smugly smiling Kiba.
"Wait… its.. its not," she tried to explain as she began to glow red and had finally noticed Issei's breath on her neck, because unknown to her Issei had fallen asleep, because to him, her sickly sweet scent that made normal devils lust over her was like a field of flowers for Issei.
…
…
…
[With Gin.]
"Fuck," I said as my grip wasn't strong enough to hold on to a jar of jam, but before it could fall I moved my foot so it landed on it harmlessly.
"Yeah I fucked up on something didn't I,"
Chapter end, well now tell me how you are enjoying the story so far, please I know i'm not the best so tell me what I can do to improve.
Omake.
[in gin's lab]
"What do you mean I got a special mission?" I said while I messed around with some bullets.
[its as I said, a special mission] Azazel said over the phone as blazing fire could be heard.
"What do I get for doing this?" I asked as I finished my 8th speed loader.
[i'll stop sending you missions for this month] he said as a small explosion could be heard.
"Deal," I said as I put them in my storage ring and walked out. "Where and who the fuck am I hunting,"
…
…
…
"Hahahaha, that's fucking stupid, hahaha, the greek gods were partying with the other factions and some dumbass thought that a snake looked cool and stole it, hahahaha," I laughed my ass off as I was being sent to the land of the greek's and the forest where it was last located.
"To be fair it was about 20 years ago, and its said to have grown too large and now threatens them due to it not being a native species and if left alone for to long would or could grow strong enough to harm them," my guide said while he summoned a modified car.
"And who's the dumbass who thought it was smart," I said while still chuckling
"Sadly we don't know," he said.
"What, then how in the fuck did they know it was some greek? Jacob!," I asked while yelling his name at him.
"It was the fact that it was there without anyone noticing, since greeks were the only one who could pass without signaling the alarm they were for sure greek?" He said as we got on jacob's car.
"Then was the snake greek dissent?" I asked as the car jumped up and began to fly.
"No dumbass it's a greek thing, so when they want visitors without signaling the alarm they can coat a creature with there magic," he said while we floated above mountains and rivers.
"Is that it?" I said while pointing at a small island covered in trees.
"Yup, i'll wait for you over the shore, so when your done just shoot this in the air," he said as he handed me a flair gun.
"Thanks duahhhhhhb," was me response as he pushed me off the floating car.
"GOOD LUCK!!!" He said as he backed the car to the shore of the other island.
"FUCK YOU JACOB!!!!!!!" I yelled at him while flipping him the bird.
As I was falling the only thought that passed by my head was, 'At least he didn't drop me in water,' as I then flipped myself midair and landed in the classic super hero landing.
As I was walking around I began to hear a static sound, I got scared since I didn't even feel something moving, but before I could piss my pants a voice came out.
[hello this is jacob, if your alive please respond] a voice came of my shirt and looking down I saw a walkie talkie, and sighed.
"Hello this is research rat responding, i'm alive," I said.
[Good to hear that research rat, currently I was told you will be looking for a big snake] he said while flipping paper sound could be heard over him.
"Copy that car fucker, over," I said while walking more
While walking I was greeted with multiple things, mostly rocks and grass either growing or leaning on a tree and the occasional life, the likes of lizards, snakes who I jokingly said I found it, wild bears whom I naturally backed off from, boars who seem like the alpha of the group seeing as it was as big as the bear and its tusks were as long as two meters and as thick as the logs, and its most defining feature was the multiple stab, claws, slash, and bite marks all over its back, also it seems like its being followed by smaller boars, I naturally bitched out and went to the other side of the giant island I was in, to which I thought was a small island due to the hight but being in it makes it a lot different.
"Jacob," I said while climbing a cliff.
[whats good rat?] a voice sounded out along with crunching of chips and beeping noises.
"Whats the abilities of this thing?" I asked as I took a rest on one of the tree's that grew off to the side.
[hmmmm]
"Nothing?"
[nah there are some things, aside from its obvious higher strength and incredible durability, it has the snake standard of being very long, super flexible, venomous bite, amazingly fast for its size, oh and get this it has a petrifying gaze] he said as he listed its abilities.
"Wait hold on, a snake with petrifying gaze and is a snake, you sure we aren't talking about Medusa here since you know it's a greek thing?" I asked while continuing to climb.
[what?]
"Yeah medusa, you know the story of the gorgon sisters, two immortal sea Goddesses and one mortal born from the Gods keto and Phorkys, story about a follower of Athena, who's goddess got jealous since she was getting more attention as she grew older, was raped by Poseidon cursed by Athena and was slain by perseus, after she killed her sisters in a blind rage due to her curse to which she gained immortality after bathing in the blood of immortal goddesses? Do you?" I asked since it sure sounded like it.
[yeah I do, but you know its kind of entertaining hearing you summarize a greek story] he replied.
"Ok thanks, but you sure this isn't medusa?" I asked.
[Well i'm pretty sure, oh and by the way there is a heavy magic signature in front of you] he said
"Thanks, but just saying man, all the things about being able to enter the greeks, and them fearing it since you know it can kill them, turn them to stone and kill them and all that, I mean they were so scared they didn't even want to try, they trapped her and just sent people to kill her, I mean if that was me i'd hold a grudge,"
[I mean I would to but focus now]
"Yeah but think about it, if people like Heracles could be reincarnated, since you know he is a pretty famous jackass, killing hundreds, tricking gods, and even stealing dogs, if someone like his ass can reincarnate i'm pretty sure someone who only defended herself and only wanted to serve the Goddess who betrayed her, to the point that even in some stories she continued to serve her despite being abandoned, and some stories Athena felt remorse and then she is immortalized on a shield that she wielded personally," I continued on while reaching the top.
[what got you all silent?] he asked after noticing I stopped talking.
"Hold on man, there's signs that someone was here before," I said while walking forward.
[what?]
"Yeah someone was camping here, I don't know who they are and what there doing but i'm pretty sure they shouldn't be here," I said while looking around.
And as I continued to look around something to the side went flying from the left stabbing into my head, soon a figure walked out, she had violet hair long and silky reaching down to her hips, and tied around her hands were chains which was attached to the thing that's currently jammed into my head, and she got closer, and closer, and closer, until she was over the dead body of the boy, but as soon as she got there she noticed something, and that one thing was that the corpse didn't bleed, and to add on to her shock the once dead boy looked at her shocking her while simultaneously making her jump back.
"Woh there beautiful, you can't just leave after trying to penetrate me so deeply, at least take me out on a date first," I said while she landed in between my hands while my illusion disappears and to which I hugged her tightly while grabbing her forearms to make sure she cant just stab me with her spikes.
"Let go of me," she said as she jumped back taking advantage of her hight as she was a foot taller than me.
"Ugh, wow now your trying to pound me, truly you're a fast one," I said as she slammed me on to a tree.
"Grrr," she tried to move forward but soon noticed she couldn't move forward.
"To bad, i'm quite sticky," I said while she continued to try moving forward. "Alright now that were so close, mind telling me who you are?" I said while making sure to whisper it directly into her ear.
She did not however respond normally, but instead responded by ripping the tree out of the ground and slipping off my grip, and in that instant she tried to stab me, I blocked it with pin point reinforcement making it only be able to draw blood and not stab straight through, but the force did throw me far, far enough so that it mattered, I was back at the campfire and she was at the tree's about a 20 foot distance.
We stood there far apart, but as I finally got a good look at her I noticed something, her forearms and shins seems to be covered in what looks to be gold scales, but after that I noticed the bruises around her body, she also looked like she had been running for a while now seeing her clothes were scratched up, and all over her were dirt and small scratches to which I deduced to be from the small branches but reaching her face I saw she wore a blindfold, to which reminded me of a certain character from a certain series.
"Yo, car fucker, we looking for a purple haired girl?" I asked.
[what? Hold up] he said as multiple taps were heard.
But before he could complete it the other side went static.
[right before Gin asked Jacob]
"So….. what's a sweet thing like you doing here?" I asked.
But instead of deeming me with her voice she instead growled like an animal and ripped of her blindfold, and upon laying my gaze on her light purple eyes they glowed and I was frozen, I could still move since I could wiggle my fingers, but what shocked me most was the giant green snake who's eyes were red and blazing, I looked down and two giant nails were flying towards me, but with a increase of reinforcement I moved my hands to catch the nails and soon jumped back, and as soon as I did the giant snake's eyes widened and where I stood the dirt turned gray and was violently caved in, after that she looked up seeing a giant snake coming down to strike her, I how ever pulled the nails which had chains attached to a device that extended her chains, she rocketed towards me and I caught her, with her force and my jump back we fell off the cliff.
"Hold tight lady," I said without my playful tone.
She held tight as I punched the dirt with alchemy turning into sand and softening our landing.
"Fuck," I said while carrying the woman like a sack of potato's on my shoulder, she did let out a high pitch squeal when I placed my hand on her ass when I went forward.
"This is my last hope," I said while running towards the beach while hearing wood and rock being destroyed behind me, reaching the beach I pulled out the flare and shot it towards the sky, while I tossed her to the right side while running left, and as I had thought it went for me.
Blocking its head with my blade it raised its head launching me back, landing on my feet I got a good look at the giant, its head was the size of a giant truck, its body could easily swallow a house, and its length could easily be as long as a train. [imagine a train but is a giant green snake with spiked scales]
"Yeah, i'm totally fucked now," I said while I loaded my gun with the special bullets I had made, and held my blade on my right hand.
I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply, I breathed out and let out my battle cry.
"COME AT ME YOU SACK OF SHIT,"
And a wild battle ensued, the bullets that Gin made personally were as effective as rocks to a gold wall, while it dents and breaks it was over all useless.
The snake despite its relatively large size was fast but since Gin was smaller I took advantage of that, the blade was useless due to the fact that I couldn't damage it since its scales were extremely resistant, but what I could do was simply throw a giant sword beam at it, not with the intent to slice but the intent to do as much blunt force as I could, this did some damage to it seen through its bleeding mouth and livid look to its eyes, and speaking of its eyes they fucking suck, a single look can turn me to dust, it can act like a laser, and his eyes are covered in scales that can handle a compressed armor piercing, anti material, 50 cal round with enhancement impact rune on it, so if this thing wasn't a monster it sure as hell is now, also have I mentioned that i'm throwing massive blunt sword beams at it? Because I've thrown in total 5 of them, and I got to say i'm fucked, since i'm fucking loosing way to much mana.
It came to the point that I even tried to use a sword technique, I think it was called Iaido its mostly a speed based attack or quick draw as its called, its basically taking your sword out in such a speed that it would either look like a flash or a very quick cut, but since i'm not a fully trained soldier or a combatant, I bastardized it by sheathing the sword and just flooded the sheath with as much mana as I safely could, upon reaching the breaking point via hearing a crack, I pulled my sword out as fast as I could and upon doing so, the mana I crammed in my sheath exploded outwards rocketing my sword like some sort of rock from hell, my aim was to split in two or at the very least get a cut from the cheek and continue down its body, but thanks to the power I had crammed inside it my aim was off so instead of cutting its cheek I cut lower hitting its chin, I managed to launch it back add that with the energy slash following it, it crashed to a small mountain around the beach, after that I walked up to it.
I tried to pull my sword up and create a final sword slash with all the mana I could, but I soon noticed that my arm was paralyzed, looking deeper it looks like my muscles were destroyed, my bones were dislocated, and ligaments were shredded, so with my exhausted state I dislodged the bullets from my gun and managed to used the speed loader inserting a section of bullet with labeled "destroy", soon after I pointed my gun directly at its eye.
Before I could shoot it moved and with my weakened state it unbalanced me, and instead of shooting its eye I managed to how ever shoot its scale under its eye, I had expected it to bounce off, while it technically did I was still surprised that it cracked a scale, after that its tail increased in speed and slapped me, I tried to reinforce my clothes, arms, ribs, and as much of my organs as I could, but despite all of that the shockwave that came from it blasted through me, and with its strength I skipped like a rock through the ocean and then smashed back first on a bolder.
"You good Gin?" A voice sounded out.
"J-ja-jacob?" I said weakly.
"Yo Gin, Gin stay with me man," he said while holding me his hand behind my head, and one shaking my chest. "by the way who's the hottie?" He asked with a goofy smile.
"Ughhh, yo-you know, I, i'm glad, th-that you're a simp, because if you weren't, you would have, tried to save, me instead of the girl," I said weakly.
"Hey! Who you calling a simp," I only responded with bloody coughing.
Sigh. "I get it, hey hottie get in the car, were going to save this douche," he said while princess carrying a limp potato.
"Ugh, w-what about, h-his weapons?" She asked hesitantly.
"Don't try, its like a normal human ripping off an items from a gorilla," he said while tossing haphazardly in the back, the energy sword had lost its light only leaving a handle and tsuba along with a few inches of the blade, and on his other hand he gripped his gun tightly.
"Uhh?"
"Just get on missy," he said as he got on the driver seat.
And soon she did, as she got on the back she pulled Gin on to her legs giving him a lap pillow.
"Tch, lucky basterd," Jacob said silently in jealousy.
Soon they had left the greek dimension not before leaving them a picture of what the beast was, and as they had suspected it was a naga, a surprising thing since what they had thought it was a rampaging gorgon something like another medusa on there hands, they had let us pass and soon I was at Grigori being healed from my injuries.
"Dam, I have to say I did not expect that," a voice said after reading a book.
"We to had thought that it was one of the gorgons, but it appears to be a giant naga," Jacob said as he sipped his tea.
"That's not what i'm talking about," Azazel said as he chewed on a wooden ice cream stick.
"What?" He asked instantly.
"I'm talking about the hottie he got, when you arrived here she has been asking for his condition and has been watching over him since we got here," Azazel said while pointing his wooden stick at the purple pink haired girl sitting next to a heavily medicated Gin.
"You cant really blame her, I mean paralyzed from the neck down, forearm bones broken like sticks, ribs shattered, organs ruptured and pierced, and mana exhaustion," Jacob said while counting down on his finger.
Sigh. "I know, if it wasn't for our expertise he would probably never walk again," Azazel said while looking at the papers.
"I mean out of all the factions we generally are harmed from both sides so healing is one of our expertise," Jacob said.
"Don't forget the fact that humans are generally softer than super natural creatures," Azazel said while flipping a page.
"Hmm, softer my ass, brotha survived having most of his organs ruptured, bones piercing him from with in, and his heart weakening," Jacob said with a smile.
"True, but Gin is weird though," Azazel said and they both just chuckled.
"Haa, how did it even come to this, I literally said it was a scouting mission,"
Omake end.
