7. Chapter 6

A year later

I was done with some of my studies, I'm now ten years old good for me I've been doing well with my training, especially when it came to my other works instead of my elements I'm already making my first prototype sacred gear I've made armors and weapons in which grandpa helps me sell so business has been booming

I was busy packing some things

I turned back to see my two maids hurrying to my direction

Rem and ram

Rem: master let's help you

She grabbed it from my hands

Ram: you don't need to do such things when you have maids in the house

I laughed

Me: thanks guys just don't hurt yourself

They both nodded

I hurried to meet my other two companions Miko and Elizabeth

Elizabeth was practicing her holy magic while Miko was engaging in martial arts with a robot I made to assist her

She gracefully approaches the training dummy robot. With her heightened senses and agile movements, she engages in a precise and powerful combat routine, aiming to improve her combat skills and reflexes. Her every move is a display of precision and control as she honours the ancient techniques she has mastered.

While Elizabeth liones

finds a serene spot in a sacred grove, bathed in soft sunlight filtering through the ancient trees. She begins her training by centering herself, closing her eyes, and taking deep, calming breaths. As she exhales, her aura starts to glow with a gentle, radiant light.

With utmost concentration, Elizabeth channels her divine energy, drawing it from the depths of her soul. She extends her open palms, and a shimmering, ethereal light surrounds her, forming a protective barrier.

It's a testament to her unwavering faith and her deep connection to the divine despite being a fallen angel

She proceeds to practice her healing spells, placing her hands on a small, injured bird nearby. The soft, golden glow of her magic envelops the creature, and she can feel the warmth of her healing energy flowing through it. Slowly, the bird's injuries mend, and it chirps in gratitude before taking flight.

I let out a smile, things have been going well

A year back

I was covered in a yellow aura has I jumped from trees to trees with speed up and soul sense activated with Miko right behind me

Miko: it's so cold what are we doing here?

Me: grandpa said that there's an unusual activity going on here judging from it's statement it's something that we can handle come on Miko just hold on okay I promise you lots of headpats and food when we get back just bear with me

Miko: YEAH

Using ki her speed shot faster than a bullet and was ahead of me

Me: slow down you don't even know where we are going

I landed next to her

Miko: eh oh sorry

I smiled she's too adorable for her own good

And there it was some kind of hideout

We landed on the ground

Miko: let's go beat them up nya~

Me: wait we can't go there unprepared

I sat down in a lotus position

Me: use your illusion magic to cover us and hold on okay don't do anything reckless

Miko: ok nya~

ASTRAL PROJECTION

my soul temporarily left my body and I ventured into the building looking for the entrance

Oh found it

Access to the hideout is through a concealed tunnel entrance hidden beneath a dense thicket of thorns and vines. This entrance leads to a narrow, winding passageway that opens into a hidden cavern within the heart of the forest.

I can simply go through the walls but we still need to go inside especially with my real body

I entered the hideout and it was terrible

Did they ever clean this place

I floated without a care and I saw a cage with three girls, one with silver hair and blue eyes the others were twins with pink and blue hair the twins were devils maybe from a village and the girl is a fallen angel

They had one thing in commonly they were both malnourished

Since I'm in my true soul form I used soul sense and discovered they were fallen angels everywhere

Blue hair: do you think someone would come and save us

Pink hair: don't hope too much sister

Silver hair: of course there is you just need to have hope someone will save us

Pink hair: I highly doubt it

Blue hair: what's your name and why are you here

Silver hair: my name is Elizabeth liones I'm a fallen human hybrid my mum was an exorcist and my dad was a fallen and so I was born

My parents were hunted down by both factions and they told me to run away as they risked their lives for me I was captured and here I am. What about you two

Red hair: my name is rem

Blue hair: my name is ram

Rem/ram: we're both devils

Rem: our parents didn't treat us well due to a famine so we had to escape then we were found by them and imprisoned here

Ram: they said something about selling us to someone named kokabiel for experiments so basically we're doomed

Rem: pretty much

Elizabeth: you two can't just give up like that

Rem/ Ram: yes yes we can

I frowned a bit

I guess I should prove them wrong

I went back to my body and my eyes opened

Issei: so Miko let's go

Miko: okie dokie

SPEED UP

TIME DILATION

she covered her body with ki and both of us ran right through the entrance

Where a group of fallen angels were already gathering

Fallen angel 1: so when is the messenger from that kokabiel coming I don't want to spend anymore time here

Fallen angel 2: I know right it's only a matter of time before we're spotted by those damn devils

Me: i think it's already too late for that in the name of Lord zekram bael surrender now

They burst out laughing

Fallen angel 1: so the devil race has fallen so low they use kids now

Miko: they mock us let's beat them up nya~

Issei: ok

They stand united, ready to face this formidable opposition.Issei, wielding his masterful swordsmanship, steps forward, his blade humming with the power of the aether.

Miko, her Senjitsu skills enhancing her agility, readies herself for combat.The fallen angels, cloaked in radiant energy, launch blinding beams of light toward the duo.

Issei: RIFT

with his space manipulation abilities, creates rifts to deflect the attacks, while Miko's agility allows her to gracefully evade the onslaught.

Issei: AETHER CUTTER

With a swift and precise strike, Issei harnesses his aetheric powers to cleave through the mages' defenses, disrupting their control over light magic.

Miko follows up with her techniques, using her illusion skill to disrupt the mages' concentration.

Capitalizing on this opening, Miko channels her spiritual energy, weaving it into intricate Senjitsu techniques. Her swift movements and focused strikes disrupt the mages' attempts to regain control.

Fallen angel : damn cat

Miko: hehehe pathetic

She had a sadistic grin

Issei:' why is she smiling like that'

He roared trying to skewer her with his light spear she easily evaded it and sent multiple strikes aimed at his vital organs trying her best not to kill him

He groaned in agony as he was basically beating black and blue by the young nekoushou

Their cries of frustration mingle with the crackling energy in the air.As the battle intensifies,

Issei and Miko's synergy becomes more evident. Issei's swordsmanship, space manipulation, and aetheric might lay the foundation of their offense, while Miko's Senjitsu and spiritual prowess complement his abilities perfectly.

They move in harmony, a dance of combat that leaves the evil light mages struggling to keep

More rushed at them Issei switched to his elemental magic

Issei: CARPET FIRE

The fierce flames shot out of his hand, before they could summon their barrier the flames severely burning them, screams of agony could be heard

One of the fallen attempts to strike her with a burst of light spear. In an instant, Miko channels her spiritual energy, creating a protective barrier of shimmering light that absorbs the attack, leaving her unscathed.

Miko:I thought you guys would actually be a challenge you fallen angels are truly pathetic now then scream FOR ME

Issei:' now I'm worried

She snickered

She retaliates with a whirlwind of strikes, her Senjitsu moves flowing seamlessly from one to the next. Her fists and feet are like guided missiles, striking precisely at vital points.

Issei :WIND BULLET STORM

He fired several wind bullets severely knocking the wind out of them

Issei: AQUA VORTEX

he was surrounded again

With a fluid motion, Issei transitions to water elemental magic. He summons a massive torrent of water from the very air itself, creating a swirling aquatic vortex. The watery maelstrom engulfs his assailants, dousing their holy energy and leaving them sputtering for breath as they struggle to control the deluge.

Issei: now then lightning SPREAD

several lightning bolts spread all over the ground shocking the entire group as combined with the previous assault of water added more wounds to their injury completely incapacitating them

My Pov

I finished up my on part and looked at Miko who sat down on a pile of fallen angels with a smile a sadist should possess

Issei: 'oh no I'm in danger'

Miko: I wish their screams of pain sounded nice

I smacked her head

Issei: I would not let my darling Miko become a sadist

Miko: owie that hurts nya~

She frowned

I kissed her forehead

Issei: all better

She nodded now let's go

We came into the dungeon and met Elizabeth, rem and ram

Me: hello there my name is Issei we came here to save you this is my best friend Miko

Miko: hi nya~

Rem: you came to save us

Ram: really

Elizabeth: I knew it thank God

She flashed a smile

I opened the door and they all embraced me

Rem/ram: thank you, thank thank you so much

Elizabeth: we're finally free

Miko:' get your hand of my Issei'

I gave them food from my storage dimension then I called zekram using the communicator

Then it was decided they would stay with me for some reason

Rem and ram became maids saying

Rem/ram: we were born for it

Currently

I couldn't help but smile I finally have people I could call a family

Ram:Issei Lady katarea is here to see you something about your peerage

I gave her a head Pat and began to walk to meet my teacher Ms katarea Leviathan

She smiled

Katarea Leviathan was once part of the old Satan faction,she wanted to bring prosperity and all that for the devil race

Zekram talk no jutsu her and she's basically his Bishop now and my teacher

Katarea: you look nice i hope you all are doing well

Elizabeth: yes ma'am Issei has been treating us well

Rem/ram: same here

Miko: me too nya~

Katarea: now that's good to hear so Issei go and have your bath we are leaving soon

I nodded

As I was showering I felt many presence in the shower I turned back and saw Elizabeth, rem and ram and Miko

Miko: we want to shower with you nya~

She purred

Issei: okay

They took turns when it came to cleaning my body after everything I wore a jacket and white jeans with a shirt

Me: so girls how do I look

Miko: handsome nya~

Rem/ram: master looks so adorable

Elizabeth blushed and looked away

Me:I guess I'm off so rem/ram you're in charge

Rem/ram: we won't let you down master

Miko: what about me nya~

We all looked at her with the ' remember the last time we left you in charge eyes '

Miko: hmph

Me: and if anything happens ask Lord Deimos and zyra to help okay

They all nodded

I went to meet katarea who was patiently waiting for me

Katarea:ara ara~ what s handsome young man it would have been better if you were older

I blushed in embarrassment

Katarea: let's go

Issei: GATE

we walked into the portal and appeared in the territory of ajuka belzeebub

Me: so where's grandpa

Katarea: he should be here just hold on and please behave

Issei: I'm not a trouble maker

I pouted

She pinched my cheek

Katarea: I mean your former family are also coming here too

I frowned

Issei:ok

As we entered his laboraory like mansion and saw other Noble devil children with their parents

" Wait his that Issei he looks so different'

" Why do I feel some kind of power surrounding him

" He's changed he looks so handsome "

We entered the hall we're we saw grandpa alongside onee Chan, seekveira and another girl

She's also a gremory but she had red eyes instead must be from a branch family

My eyes met sairorg

Me: onee Chan

I waved at him

Sairorg turned back

Sairorg: ' what is that Issei how come he looks so different and what's this power'

Sairorg: Issei how are you doing

Sairorg was a year older than Issei but due to some family issues he had to come for his peerage pieces a year later

Issei was ten and had the power of a high class devil while sirzechs was 14 when he had the same level (if it's inaccurate it's for plot purposes) how would he be when he's already a teenager

Issei: I'm doing well,.good day to you grandpa

Zekram ruffled Issei hair with a smile

Zekram:' just as I predicted what a monster'

Seekveira: good day to you my name is seekveira agares

I shook her hand

Issei: Issei Darien

I with a smile

Seekveira:hmmm

She nodded and then I turned to a possible relative

Issei: and you must be

Makima: makima gremory from a small count family with the gremory bloodline

She said with a bow

Me: I'm not part of the gremory clan anymore so you don't need to bow

Makima: ok

Jeez she should learn to smile more

Two magic circles appeared revealing the crest of the gremory and sitri

Sairorg: it's going to be okay

Issei: fine

Makima: Don't let them get to you, you've changed your name to Darian right you're free from them they threw you away and you got back up so don't let them interfere with your mission

Seekveira: she's right you know can you compare yourself to a few years back?

Issei: no

Rias, venelena, zeoticus with grayfia appeared same with sona and her parents

Then ajuka belzeebub came in

Zeoticus eyes darted around and met zekram and me in the crowd

Zeoticus:' it's that brat what's that power within him and his eyes so he decided to be a dog of the bael hmph and that girl must be part of some branched off family of the gremory '

He walked towards our direction

Seekveira grabbed my arm

Seekveira: calm down okay

She whispered in my ear

Zekram: zeoticus how do you do?

Zeoticus: I'm doing all right so how come you took interest in my ' son '

Zekram: you sense it don't you his potential has blossomed so why not nurture it

Zeoticus: so you've been hiding things from me BOY

me: it's not my fault that the Gremory clan is blind

Zeoticus: what did you say?

Me: did I stutter

Zeoticus: you brat

Zekram: ENOUGH as the patriarch anyone that is exiled and disowned from their clan by the patriarch himself as lost all connections and family bond with such person meaning he is no longer of your blood you do not have any rights to force him unless he agrees so move along zeoticus

Venelena: such energy I've never felt it before what did happen to him during those years

She sighed as she spoke to grayfia

Grayfia: he barely left his house and still stays there but zekram seems to be visiting and communicating to him and the landmass of such area doesn't have any form of treasure and his completely barren meaning what he said his true it seems his potential has begun to surface

Venelena: so you could say our impatience cost us

Rias: ' how did he become so strong '

Sona:' interesting'

Grayfia: yes milady

Venelena sighed

Venelena: zeoticus pride would never allow him to reconcile so we should rule out the possibility and zekram is surprisingly fond of him

Ajuka belzeebub, I used to respect him same with the rest of the devil Kings but now ...what a joke

Ajuka:hello everyone I am ajuka belzeebub I would like for everyone to collect a number and you'll be called after that number is called out if you didn't show up after your number is being called you'll have to take another one

Serafall and sirzechs appeared in their respective crests

I as before ignored them

Sirzechs: I hope we're not too late

Serafall: where's my So-tan

Sirzechs turned to zekram

Sirzechs: zekram

Zekram: sirzechs

They didn't say anything else and looked away

Sona: oh no

Seekveira: so Issei I wonder what kind of evil pieces we would get?

Makima: I wonder too

Issei: well I'm not sure I just hope nothing bad happens to.mine at least

Sairorg: you got that right

Katarea: Lord zekram is it possible that Issei special abilities might hinder his evil pieces

Zekram: 70% chance

Lancelot: let's just hope for the best

Timeskip

After many hours all four of us where sleeping on a bench resting on each other's shoulder

Rias: I got a mutated bishop piece

She yelled in excitement

Sona: lucky you

Rias:' I wonder what pieces Issei would get '

Sairorg was later called and he got a mutated queen

Sairorg: impressive

Ajuka: no 150

Issei: I guess that's me

Seekveira: good luck

Makima: same here

Issei: thanks guys

I walked up to the platform

Ajuka: simply place your hand on the machine and your evil pieces would be created

I placed my hand on the Gizmo and poured in my energy

Nothing happened

Issei: is the machine broken

Ajuka:no I could have sworn I callibrated it correctly

" The machine even rejected him now that's a first "

" And I thought he would change"

Zeoticus: ' I had my hopes up for nothing still pathetic"

Zekram: KATAREA PROTECT THE KIDS Issei GET OUT OF THERE NOW

before anyone could react there was a huge explosion and it was massive several energy began to shoot out

Rays of amethyst colored lightning shot out of the explosion generating portals.

Time generated a golden glow seemed to rewind and fast forward between seconds and minutes

Another swarm of blue unknown energy began to scatter and destroy everything in it's path

" My soul something is wrong with my soul "

" My Life force is getting absorbed gaah "

Everyone was stunned

Seekveira: where is Issei

Lancelot: damn it

Sairorg: I'm going inside I have to save him

Zekram: you'll get killed what is all this I understand the soul but...

Deimos appeared next to them

Deimos: that's because it's aether and space and time the concepts that exists in the dimensional gap that holds the world together

Seekveira: who are you?

Lancelot reached for his sword

Zekram: Lord Deimos is that you

Deimos glanced at zekram before smiling

Deimos: you are a lot older than I remember yes it is me trying to input such concepts into a machine must have merged them together and caused a cosmic storm and since it's not like Issei body that there is always a perfect balance must have caused this, if this isn't taken care off bye bye underworld

Katarea: how do we fix this

Deimos: simple the person who could control it can dispell it

Makima: how are we sure he's alive

Seekveira: we can't just live him there

Lancelot: she's right

Deimos: have a little faith in the boy

Ajuka:' did he just mention that Issei caused all this and it's the concepts that ties the world together WTF this is going to be revolutionary if I can just...

Evil scientist mode activated

The devil Kings casted a protective barrier but obviously it wasn't holding well

Deimos: don't bother using demonic power it would just aggravate it, it should be over in a few minutes

Sairorg: how can you be so sure

Seekveira: Look

The fierce energy tornado began to calm down

And Issei figure could be seen his clothes were badly damaged and what floated above him were 16 unknown pieces it was covered in a mixture of colors

Deep blue for aether

Silver for soul

Golden yellow for time

And amethyst for space

They were perfectly synchronized

Diemos:This is a new form of evil pieces

Broken pieces

Pieces that have broken the natural laws of the universe

Deimos voice echoed throughout the hall

Zeoticus: what have I done

Issei:I did it

He fell on his butt

Issei: wow I thought I was going to die

Zekram:you did it boy

Those pieces floated in the air with ethereal moving energy

With a wave of his hand it vanished into is pocket dimension

Makima: grandpa I don't want my own evil pieces I want to be a part of Issei peerage

Seekveira: me too

Sairorg: now I wish I never even got mine

Lancelot: Lord zekram I just heard that there was phenomenon that occurred through out the supernatural world it resembled what happened here we must make sure Issei should be well protected if they find out about him there is a very huge chance of a great war but this time involving multiple factions the devil race may not survive

Zekram: I know I know make sure that none of this gets out spread rumors that itt must have been caused by great red in the dimensional gap

Katarea: that's a good strategy since these concepts exist in the dimensional gap it would be a perfect excuse

The word echoed in his head

" broken pieces "

Broken through the laws of the universe

He shook his head

He saw makima, seekveira and sairorg conversing with Issei with smiles on their faces

Zekram: ' he could be our greatest Ally or our destroyer depending on the path he chooses '

None of them realized that the likes of great red and ophis were watching what was going on

Great Red: how can a mortal like him exist

Ophis: Deimos is right infact his very existence goes against the laws of the universe

Great Red: are you going to use him to kick me out of the dimensional gap

Ophis: maybe
