1 year later
Issei was currently on a bed covered in dried blood still in the mystic library he has been in a coma for the last 1 year, Deimos still floating was confused and still bewildered
Deimos: what's wrong he hasn't shown any signs of movements he is breathing and his heart his beating but is brain signals are all messed up, he has been unconscious for the past 1 year
He shook his head
Deimos: his family are truly wicked even I as the son of belzeebub is disgusted by them they didn't even bother to check up on him
He sighed,
Deimos:if it was someone with this opportunity to obtain my legacy destroying their clan or killing those who wronged them would be the first on the list
Issei body shook a little which caught the eye of deimos
Deimos:this is the first movement he has made since he entered this vegetative state
Issei hands kept on twitching
Deimos: Issei you can do this, you want to prove them wrong right you want to be a super devil -transcendent right and help your real older brother
Issei eyes twitched too
Deimos: c'mon kid get up now you can do this
Issei eyes finally opened but they were completely different, his right eye was amethyst and his left eye was golden in color, his pale skin was smooth and lively, his pale red hair was fully crimson even more than a gremory
His eyes were heterochromic
Issei: what happened where am I?
Deimos floated infront of him
Deimos: you're alive aaah thank god of the bible
Issei eyes blinked several times
Issei: I remember now I've been exiled by my family and I drank some stuff
Deimos: yes you survived, You look dirty go take a shower and wear a new set of clothes maybe after that we could do some tests
Issei: okay to be honest I feel great, like my body feels awesome, the usual pain I feel is gone thank you so much master
He said with a bow
Deimos: no worries Issei we'll talk later
He felt dizzy but managed to stabilized himself, after 30 minutes he came out
He smiled
Issei: I feel awesome my body feels like my own
Deimos: you look great now let's do some tests
Issei stood on a platform and some laser lights scanned his body, causing himself to hold on since he felt ticklish
Deimos: it's done just take a sit I'm going to examine if there's any abnormalities in your body
He patted his head before leaving into a corner
He scanned the results and he was stunned
Deimos: his body has not just been restored every single abnormality has gone and his body even looks stronger
He smiled but that smile froze
Deimos: what the hell is that
On the holographic picture a crystalized orb on his abdomen
Deimos: please don't tell me this is... it's a ...no it can't be a Mana core how and a Mana vein and they are both supreme grade
He almost fainted
Mages have a Mana core that houses their Mana and mana veins that helps circulate it around the body and helps in powering spells
Common Grade: This is the most basic and widely available grade of Mana Core. Mages with common-grade Mana Cores usually have average magical abilities and limited potential. They can cast simple spells and perform basic magical tasks but may struggle with more advanced or complex magic.
2. Uncommon Grade: The uncommon-grade Mana Core signifies a step above the common grade, indicating a slightly higher level of magical potential. Mages with uncommon-grade Mana Cores are capable of casting more versatile spells and have a greater affinity for certain types of magic. They can delve into intermediate-level magic and may start specializing in specific magical disciplines.
3. Rare Grade: The rare-grade Mana Cores are considered quite valuable and are possessed by mages with significant magical talent. Mages with rare-grade Mana Cores are often highly skilled and capable of wielding more powerful magic. They have a larger reserve of mana, enabling them to cast spells of greater magnitude and complexity. They might even have an affinity for rare or advanced branches of magic.
4. Epic Grade: The epic-grade Mana Cores are extremely rare and coveted by mages. Those with epic-grade Mana Cores possess an unprecedented amount of magical potential. They can tap into vast amounts of mana and are capable of casting spells that can rewrite reality itself. Their spells are immensely powerful, and they can excel in various magical disciplines, often displaying a mastery over multiple areas of magic.
5. Legendary Grade: The legendary-grade Mana Cores are the pinnacle of magical power. Mages with legendary-grade Mana Cores are virtually unparalleled in their abilities. They possess an immense reserve of mana, allowing them to cast spells of incredible scope and magnitude. Their spells can reshape entire landscapes, control the elements at will, or perform extraordinary feats of magic that go beyond mortal comprehension.
With legendary grade the Mana in his Mana core and his Mana veins would be immense capable of using very powerful spells
Even the likes of a super devil would only have epic grade devil core
I've hit the jackpot, now all we have to do is check his attributes
He came back checking on Issei who was busy reading a book
Issei: am I going to be okay master you look shocked and scared
Deimos: monster you are a monster...damn
His body trembled
Deimos even had the urge to bow to him,
Issei: are you okay sir
He asked tilting his head cutely
Deimos waved his hand and a holographic image appeared showing a list of elements
Zyra: lord Deimos i have measured his mana which isn't Mana to be honest and able to tell is attributes beware this maybe shocking
Name:Issei ' gremory '
Age: 8
Race: aether devil
Aether core: legendary grade
Aethr vein: legendary grade
Magic attributes
Fire
Water
Air
Lightning
Earth
Soul
Time
Space
Deimos looked at him like as if he was a freak even floating some steps back
Deimos: shouldn't it be Mana
Zyra: no there is no mana in his body it is filled with aether and little demonic power
Deimos looked flabbergasted
Deimos: how
Zyra: I've analyzed his genes, it seems your father and Lucifer fused aether with the genes of the female used to create the gremory clan
Deimos: but he didn't tell me and why didn't it show in the gremory line it's not possible aether is only a bit different from divine energy
Zyra: your father and Lucifer sealed it away to appear in later stages of the devil race if it had been shown during the era of the previous devil kings other factions would have wanted to destroy the devil race in fear of creating devils that can become gods and cause war with other factions since devils weren't seen in a good light then and even now
Zyra: your potion of ascendance had done the trick, to be honest with you master the potion fixed his genes which undid the seal and allowed the aether to flow through his system and remodel is body
Deimos: oh shit I'm dreaming this is definitely a dream
Zyra: I assure you you are not dreaming sir
Issei:uhm excuse me what's aether
Zyra: Aether magic is a form of magical practice that taps into the are magic energy known as Aether. Aether is often seen as a cosmic or ethereal force that permeates the universe, connecting everything together. Aether magic harnesses this energy and uses it to cast spells, manipulate reality, and interact with the spiritual or metaphysical realms.
Issei: can you compare it to demonic energy
Zyra:of course not, it is basically not too different from divine energy
Issei: awesome
Deimos turned to Issei
Deimos:' when I browsed through the new devil kings and I discovered about the two super devils i thought they were the future of the devil race I guess I was wrong I'm must nurture him he is basically the chosen one '
Deimos ruffled his hair making Issei giggle
Deimos: prepare yourself my student I'm going to train you and make you the most powerful devil of all time
KNOCK KNOCK
Deimos: it seems we have guests go and check and please be careful
Issei: ok master
Issei walked upstairs and opened the door
His eyes widened in shock
It was zekram bael
Issei was startled but later bowed down
Issei:lord bael what brings you here
Zekram's POV
So they just left him there, no servants no maid and the house looks old I am terribly disappointed at sirzechs and the rest of the gremory clan
As soon as the door opened, Issei could be seen
Wait this Is Issei
I checked his profile he is supposed to be sickly pale with dull red hair and dull turquoise blue eyes but is eyes they are completely different and what is this power I'm sensing it's not demonic power it's something else it feels so powerful
I smirked inwardly
Zekram:' I was right hmph I'm always right I must help him '
Zekram: ah Issei just call me grandpa
He smiled before ruffling his hair
And he's actually adorable
Issei: grand...pa
Issei: Grandpa
Zekram: I came here to check on you the gremory clan doesn't care about you even though you showed zero potential they could have just sent you to the human world same with your cousin and lived there not continue to treat you like trash but it seems you are better than the picture I've seen
Issei: haaa no worries grandpa I don't really think of such things wait... what happened to onee-chan
He looked worried
Me: the new lord bael banished them to the countryside of the bael clan
Issei: how could they do this it was fine with me but..
Me: no worries thanks to my influence they are doing well unlike here
My face turned serious
Issei: grandpa you want to come inside?
Me: I'm in a hurry don't worry I wanted to see how you are doing Issei I see potential in you I hope you won't use it to bring suffering to the devil race
Issei: why does everyone keep on saying that I only have 3 goals
1 become stronger
2 help my onee-chan become the devil king... legally by the way
3 and also become an adventurer
Not a bad goal he really cares for sairaorg
Me: by the way I would want you to protect the devil race If you truly reach your goals
Issei: in order to help my onee-chan become a devil king I'll also have to do that too no worries
Me: would you one day go back to the gremory clan
Issei: not interested actually they could go to heaven for all I care and we'll I do plan on giving my ' father ' a scar and possibly PTSD if that's okay
I couldn't help but laugh, as long as he doesn't destroy the whole gremory clan infact killing zeoticus wouldn't be a problem as long as he does it well
I handed him a communicator
Me: use this to contact me when in time of need and I'll use it to check up on you also your older brother sairaorg
Issei: thank you grandpa
I nodded before forming a magic circle and disappeared
My POV
I ran back to the library
Me: master so what do we do now?
I asked in a curious tone
Deimos: well then Issei I'll have zyra write you a good training session as a battle mage that you'll run for the next few years I wouldn't be surprised if you managed to become a Satan class devil at your teenage years
Me: well then let's go
I raised my fist into the air
Zekram's POV
I went back to my study room and sat down, my knight came in and bowed to me he was one of Arthur's knight before I met him centuries ago
Knight: you've arrived did anything worthwhile happen
I couldn't help but crack a smile
Me: when I met him I felt power, power that would one day suppress me
Knight: how could this be
He wouldn't dare doubt his master
Me: well then it isn't demonic power or mana but it's more powerful than both it has this otherworldly feeling like I can't explain and his potential something that was nearly non existent was now as vast as the ocean even stronger than sirzechs when he was his age
The knight's face paled
Knight: I can't believe I doubted you
Me: happens to the best of us like I said before sirzechs and zeoticus infact the whole gremory clan are fools, brainless fools well then sooner or later they'll reap what they sowed now both Issei and sairaorg are now under my wing
I smiled before a taking a sip of coffee
