A year later
a secluded training area, the sun cast dappled shadows through the trees, creating a serene atmosphere. Issei, a determined and eager student, stood ready, his eyes focused on Lancelot, the seasoned knight sent to him by his grandpa who was his mentor.Lancelot
He was dressed in his legendary armor, brandished his sword, a beacon of expertise. With precision, he demonstrated the art of swordplay, every move calculated and fluid. Issei observed every motion with keen interest.Their practice began with the fundamentals, footwork, and balance.
Lancelot: you see my movements try to copy it and if you can't just try to create your own remember as you move with your sword make sure you pace yourself and don't overdo it try to study your opponents move and then look for counters
Issei: ok sir
Issei began to perform and swing his sword while moving at the same time he was trying to master the elegant foot work of his trainer
Lancelot patiently guided Issei through each step, correcting his stance and grip.
Lancelot: you are doing well so come at me with your practice sword don't use your time magic infact only your sword skills
Issei nodded
Lancelot squared off, their swords ready for a sparring match. Lancelot, the seasoned knight from Fate, moved with grace and precision, his blade a shining extension of his will.
Issei, determined and eager to prove himself, met Lancelot's first strike with skill and determination. The clash of their swords rang out through the tranquil forest, a testament to their prowess.
Issei: CRESCENT SLASH
A silver sword light was formed and rushed at Lancelot who smiled but
Lancelot's experience was evident as he deftly parried Issei's attacks and countered with well-timed strikes
Issei: FLOWING WATER STANCE
A fluid and adaptive sword style that mimics the fluidity of water, making it difficult to predict.
He moved effortlessly, his movements fluid and unpredictable. Issei struggled to keep up but refused to yield.
But still Lancelot was able to counter
As they progressed, their swords clashed in a symphony of steel, sparks flying with every strike.Lancelot's wisdom flowed like a river
Lancelot: you did well I'm impressed but
He began to point out his mistake in his movements
sharing the knowledge of battle tactics and the importance of discipline. He emphasized the connection between mind and blade, teaching Issei not just how to fight, but how to strategize.
Lancelot ruffled Issei hair before teleporting away
Lancelot: also prepare yourself katarea is coming tomorrow
Issei face paled a bit before sighing
Issei: goodbye teacher
Lancelot smiled before teleporting away
Issei strength and knowledge has been growing this past few years
He got down to the basement
Deimos: it seems your training his done
Issei nodded
Issei had grown he is now 4 foot 5 his hair and grown a tad longer he looked more healthy
After practicing using the power of soul, aether and space his strength has grown very powerful
He took out his own labcoat and entered the lab with a few flying books
Deimos: your alchemy skills has increased you are able to create mid tier potions
Basic Potions: These are simple and common potions with minimal magical effects. They might include healing potions for minor injuries or basic antidotes.
Intermediate Potions: These potions offer more significant benefits. They could include potions that heal moderate wounds, boost physical abilities temporarily, or provide resistance to common ailments.
Advanced Potions: These are rare and potent concoctions. Advanced potions may grant enhanced abilities, such as increased strength, agility, or magical powers. They can also cure more severe ailments or provide longer-lasting effects.
Masterful Elixirs: Crafted by highly skilled alchemists or mages, masterful elixirs are legendary in their power. They might grant the ability to fly, turn invisible, or even bestow immortality, though they are exceedingly rare and challenging to create.
Mythical Brews: These are the most powerful and legendary potions in existence. Mythical brews are the stuff of legends, capable of world-altering effects. They could grant god-like powers, reshape reality, or
hold the key to the fate of entire civilizations. Very few, if any, are known to exist.
He said with a smile
Deimos: and thanks to zekram your potions have been selling
Issei smiled even though he just turned ten his mentality is already sharper than even people twice his age
Issei: thank you master i just finished the prototype for the armor I just made
Deimos: nice so what do you call it
Issei:

It was thanks to zyra's simulation I wasted a lot of materials the first time I attempted it, thank God(due to being an aether devil he is immune to the effects of holy objects and since he is an anomaly same with speaking the name of god )
Deimos: what's all this for?
Issei snorted
Issei: a stray devil killed her master and ran away
Deimos: and
Issei: It was a nekoushou that was reportedly drunk on senjitsu
Deimos: isn't that too dangerous?
Issei: that's not the worse part the clan is now calling for the eradication of the nekoushou village in the underworld and if such goal is attained the nekoushou race would become nearly extinct
Deimos: that's just uncalled for it's obvious they are already looking for an excuse to get rid of them
Issei: that's not the worse part the worse part is the devil Kings has allowed them
Deimos shook his head in disappointment
Deimos: this could spark a war between the Shinto clan and the underworld
Issei: the fallen angel would then use it as a chance to weaken the devil race I already informed grandpa and I'm going to warn them
Deimos: no worries I already support you I've already checked their coordinate but there isn't a suitable place due to the spirit energy there and it could affect the magic circle all you just have to do right now is focus on your new space magic ability
GATE is a powerful space magic spell that allows the caster to open a celestial gate to another place entirely
The OP part all you need is the coordinates you don't even have to know or see the place just have the coordinates or if the place exist the only problem would be the amount of Mana or in his case aether
He packed a few potions and a
Deimos:ok then be careful
Issei:GATE
My Pov
A magical gate formed and I hoped through it
I saw towering trees are cloaked in moss and vines, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. A soft, otherworldly glow emanates from bioluminescent fungi, casting an eerie but captivating light on the forest floor. The air is heavy with an unsettling silence, broken only by the distant hoot of an owl or the rustle of unseen creatures. It's a place where beauty and unease coexist, inviting both wonder and a sense of foreboding.
A transparent energy coated my body
Soul Sense" is an extraordinary ability that allows its possessor to perceive the innermost essence of living beings. When someone with Soul Sense focuses their power, they can see the unique, shimmering aura or "soul" that surrounds each individual. This aura reveals a person's emotions, intentions, and even their spiritual energy.Soul Sense can be used in various ways:
Emotion Detection: Users can easily discern the emotions of others, helping them empathize and connect on a deeper level.
Truth Seeking: By reading a person's aura, they can often tell if someone is lying or concealing their true intentions.
Healing: In some cases, Soul Sense can be used for therapeutic purposes, identifying emotional or spiritual wounds and offering insight into how to heal them.
Spiritual Insight: Those with Soul Sense may use it for spiritual guidance, helping themselves and others navigate their inner journeys
I sensed the souls for several creatures but most of them were small critters
But then I sensed something else
Me: SPEED UP
TIME DILATION
Using my time ability my speed increased back then I used to have tunnel vision due to the ability but now that I mastered time dilation which slows than my perception of everything as I used the skill
I jumped through the forest feeli the cold wind smashing into my face
I began to jump from trees to trees,I landed on top of a tree branch and I saw a little girl the same age as mine playing on the grass
I jumped down in front of her spooking the girl
Girl: who are you? What are you doing here?
A translucent silver glow formed on her arms as she did a battle stance
Me: I came here on an important message for your leader a grave danger is heading here now
Girl: who are you First?
I removed my hoodie revealing my crimson hair and different eye colors
Her eyes had stars
Girl: your eyes are pretty my name is miko what's yours
Me: Issei my name is Issei please we don't have time we need to get to your village now I come in peace
I did the peace sign with my fingers
Miko: how did you get your eyes to look like that
She titled her head cutely
Me:ಠ_ಠ
I just told her there is a danger and the first thing she said is about my eyes
Miko: you wanna play
Her face came closer to mine
Me: i said there is a danger coming to this place I need to see your leader
Miko: then we can play right?
Me=
Me:Yes,yes we can play
VIvi: come with me
What is wrong with her,or is it the fact I'm way smarter than the average 9 years old
I followed her and met a beautiful village the ki in the air made it very nice to breathe in
(This art is owned by me your welcome)
I met a group of nekoushou's at the center
VIvi: mama
She jumped into the woman with the giant gravity defying chest of the woman in front
Two nekoushou's appeared infront of me and released their aura
Kuroshi: my name is mevaria and I'm the leader of this village what brings you here traveller
Her four tails were revealed
(In the light novel the most powerful nekomata has seven tails on the same level has yasaka)
I got down on my knees and bowed
Me: my name is Issei I was exiled the gremory clan and I'm here to reveal some information
Her eyes widened a bit
VIvi:gr...Emory what's that
Nekoushou: a very powerful clan in the devil race you'll know these things as you get older
Kuroshi: what information?
Me:a nekoushou, a member of one of the peerage of the branch family of the nebarius clan killed her master rumored to be drunk on the power of senjitsu... I think her name was kuroka
Mevaria: did you say kuroka
Me: yes
Mevaria: she was my sister's daughter I've been trying to track her down but that's impossible she was said to be a master of the arts of senjitsu
Me: I don't know how but she killed her master and escaped
Kuroshi: thank you for the information I would find her...
I interupted her
Me: in rage the nebarius clan has called for the extermination of this village and if you say that where's my proof
I took out crystal and poured in aether and a holographic image of a man appeared
Man: the nekoushou village has taken it too far they sent a spy by the name kuroka and her sister shirone and acted as a spy among my cousin's peerage and killed him we must wipe out the nekoushou village near the devil territory or it would repeat itself
Me: this isn't fake you should know that right this is recording crystal
nekoushou 1:' why what did we do?
Nekoushou 2: those devils they're monsters
Kuroshi's face paled in fright
Sure she is has the strength of an advanced ultimate class devil but against a fight with an entire clan the entire Village would be destroyed and some of them would be taken in as slaves
Kuroshi: how long would it take them to arrive
Me: two days
Miko:mama what's going on?
Kuroshi: don't worry sweetie
" Chief even if we escape we aren't skilled in the arts of teleportation circle they could still find us and track it since we don't even know we're to go "
" What about Kyoto
" The location is too far "
Kuroshi: you came here to help us right, please help us
She got on her knees and began to beg making Issei blush
Miko: please help us too
Not knowing what was going on she also begged as the rest of the Villagers were about to do the same thing Issei interupted
Issei: I can help you as long as you tell me the coordinates
Kuroshi's eyes widened
Kuroshi: really but why are you helping us?
Issei: I should be the one bowing down to apologise it's my race fault, i deduced from what you just said I think there was foul play involved because nobody even bothered to investigate I'm sorry for what the devils has done
Kuroshi got up and wiped her tears
She hugged me her giant mounds almost suffocating me
She finally let me down and told me about the coordinates of Kyoto both land mass and dimension
Me:GATE
A glowing gate manifested over 1/10 of my aether gone just like that
If anyone else heard him would call him a monster
A 9 years old just opened a dimensional gate and only lost a 1/10 of his energy
Kuroshi: is this safe?
Me: yes ( I hope)
I said with seriousness
Kuroshi: thank you everyone please let's get ready
The entire village bowed and did the same
Issei:well no worries
Kuroshi stood on my level and kissed me on the lips my face turned red
(Your first kiss got stolen by a cat milf respect)
Miko: are we going to see each other again
Issei: of course
I said giving her a head Pat
Kuroshi: as a token for saving us how about my daughter stays with you
Miko: really
Me: wait what now
Kuroshi: you'll be turning ten soon right
Me: yes a few months from now
Kuroshi: then you would gain your own peerage my daughter would make an excellent addition you felt her potential right
( I Know where this is going)
Miko: as you wish mama
Me: but I don't want to separate both mother and child
Miko: I don't mind you saved my village from what I've seen and plus we can go and meet her again through your gate right
I pondered the whole village were giving me flirtatious vibes
I'm nine years old geez
Me: well okay then
Kuroshi: then it settled then
The rest were jealous since they wanted to give him their daughter
Miko hugged me while the rest began to prepare and true to what I said I played with her
It felt nice I've never played with anyone of my age ever since I got exiled it was lonely and now I have someone from my age group as a friend
We bade them goodbye before I summoned gate again and went into the mansion with my new companion and I wondered why I brought my stuff there was no fighting involved
Deimos: so how did it go
He appeared infront of me
Miko: a ghost
She hid behind me
Issei:well to be technical yes uhm Miko this is my master Lord Deimos and master this is my friend
I began to narrate everything that happened
Miko: cool this place is haunted
Me: to be technical again yes
Deimos: uhm Issei you know what this means right?
Issei: I have a friend now
I said patting miko's head making her purr
Cute
Deimos laughed
Deimos: actually she's your fiancee
Issei: "..." What
Miko: what's fiancee?
Issei: a type of food
Miko:oh so can I have it for lunch then I'm hungry
I couldn't help but laugh
Third person Pov
When the nebarius clan arrived the entire village was empty much to their shock and they couldn't trace any magic circle activity
So it was said that they ran away once they heard what happened and how they escaped left them baffled
