Chapter 21: Merciless
Underworld [Border of New Eden]...
The battlefield was the forest North of New Eden; the ground and sky were filled with demons from the Extra Demon and Old Satan Factions, each confident in their victory.
Naruto looked over at the greater number of devils the Old Satan Faction had; it looked like they were outnumbered ten to one, but despite this, the Satanchia was not afraid, but rather he was filled with excitement, as this would be the first time he would be able to cut loose and hold nothing back.
The plan was simple yet flexible; Naruto watched his wives and comrades look at the Old Satan Faction as their opponents they had to defeat in order for the alliance to win the war.
"Do you have eyes on your targets?" Naruto asked his allies and comrades through a magical circle that had appeared in his hand.
"Bidleid Bashalun Beelzebub is to the north east of here," Lady Isha stated as Mio nodded, seeing the man there too.
Mephisto said, "I have my eye on Damaidosu Zereikel Astaroth." He looked like he was going over plans to defeat the descendant of Asmodeus in his head.
Grayfia said, "I found Tsufaame Tereaku Leviathan, she's leading the charge on the northwest side." Mio looked ready for battle.
"Good. I see that prick, Rizevim Livan Lucifer, coming right at me." Naruto responded. "You all know what is at stake here, so fight with everything you've got."
"You all know the plan," Naruto said to his generals. "Let's go out there and teach those arrogant fucks why they should never mess with us."
"Yes, sir!" they shouted as the Abaddon, Belphegor, Mammon, Agaliarept, Fleurety, Sargatanas, and Nebiros, the clan heads of their respective devils clans, all went after the enemies with the strongest magic power, outside the Satan descendants.
Naruto released a spiraling vortex of darkness that acted like a black hole, sucking in several Devils from the Old Satan Faction to clear the way for him and his generals as they sped off towards the Satan Descendants.
Naruto charged at Rizevim, but Lord Lucifuge got in the way and attacked. Lord Abaddon intercepted his ice attack with his clan's magic, the power of the hole, sending his attack right back at him.
"So you little ungrateful shit, you've finally shown your true colors." Rizevim said with a smirk. "I always wanted to kill you and fuck your slutty wives."
"You will not get the chance, you filthy fucker," Naruto said as his magical power rose, preparing to cast a spell. The blonde glanced at his wives and generals to see if they had made contact with their main targets and saw they had.
"I can see that you are worried about your little whores down there. After I kill you, I will take special care of them," The son of Lucifer stated, making Naruto give him a disgusted look.
Naruto stood calmly as more magic gathered around him, while Rizevim prepared himself for an attack; however, before he could react, the blondes and their comrades suddenly glowed brightly, blinding the entire Old Satan faction.
When Rizevim opened his eyes, he noticed that he was no longer in the same location, but somewhere else entirely; looking around, he saw a barrier in the sky, and there, beside him, was Lord Lucifuge and several other demons.
"What did you do, you little shit?" the Son of Lucifer exclaimed, which earned him a middle finger in response.
"Fuck you!" Naruto shouted, trying to get under Rizevim's skin to make the fight to come easier, but internally the blonde was thinking about phase one of the plan his faction had come up with.
In order to defeat the Old Satan faction, Naruto and the others decided that they would split them up using a teleportation technique that Naruto had come up with based on his father's Flying Thunder God Technique from his time in the ninja world; it worked by teleporting everyone within a certain radius of the person who possessed the sealing formula to another location that had been previously marked.
The marked area was enclosed by a powerful barrier and spell to prevent teleportation, except for the Satanchia head technique; now Naruto with several of his comrades including Lord Abaddon and some Mid Class and Low Class Devils.
While Rizevim had the numbers and more high-class devils by his side, Naruto was not worried because he knew that some of those high-class devils would let their guard down, as they would be looking down on their weaker opponents and not using their full power from the beginning, giving his subordinates the opportunity to defeat them.
Naruto looked at Rizevim and decided to end the battle as soon as possible so that he could get to the other battlefield and assist his wives and mother, but hopefully they wouldn't need it.
Naruto disappeared into his shadow and reappeared behind Rizevim, who had been preparing himself for the blonde to attack him as soon as he saw him vanish.
"That technique won't work on me, you bastard!" Rizevim yelled as his fist overflowing with demonic energy flew at Naruto's head, but the blonde dodged it at the last second and responded by sending his foot into the son of Lucifer's gut, sending him flying.
"Lord Lucifer," the Lucifuge head exclaimed as he saw the son of his deceased master getting hurt and was about to attack the Satanchia head, but Lord Abaddon intercepted him yet again, leading to a furious battle of ice and the power of the hole.
Naruto saw his subordinates joining the battle and knew he had to act fast before they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of Devils on the Son of Lucifer's side; Naruto had taken a large amount of enemies with him, making it about 30 to 1 against them.
"You cocksucker! I will kill you!" Rizevim bellowed in rage and fired a magical bullet at the Satanchia's head. It was dodged and the blonde started to fly away with the Son of Lucifer hot on his tail. Never stopping his attack, he shouted, "Come back here and fight me!"
Naruto ignored the son of Lucifer and began leading him around the battlefield to his subordinate's locations using Rizevim's own attacks to kill and injure his own soldiers, thus lessening their numbers. The longer that battle went on, Rizevim didn't care that he was killing his own men; all that mattered to him was getting rid of the blond pest at any cost.
When Naruto saw that the number of the enemy forces had been cut down to where his men now had the numerical advantage of 3 to 1, he stopped running and flying around and turned to face the enraged Rizevim.
Naruto created a mini black hole to suck up all of Rizevim's magic bullets and charged at him at blinding speeds. Soon, the blonde was in front of the son of Lucifer and unleashed a barrage of close-combat attacks, enhanced by his magic and Ki, landing devastating blows on Rizevim, sending him into the ground, creating a crater.
"Is that all you've got?" Naruto asked, taunting Rizevim. "You're just a big bully until someone stands up to you and beats your ass."
"Fuck you, bastard! I will kill you!" Rizevim yelled at the top of his lungs as a pair of gloves appeared on his hands; Naruto could feel his power weakening as Rizevim's doubled.
"What did you do?" Naruto asked as every few seconds he was losing more and more power.
Rizevim didn't answer but attacked the blonde, landing a combo of devastating blows on him one after the other; until Naruto was beaten bloody but still standing.
"How do you like that, no more cockiness now, little runt," the son of Lucifer said. "You can't oppose the power of my Devil Gear."
Naruto's mind started to race as he tried to figure out what kind of power Rizevim possessed, but soon a realization dawned on him and a wicked smile spread across his face.
"So your power comes from a Devil Gear, I bet your father put a fragment of the White Dragon inside it to steal the powers of others and grant them to the user. And the Red Dragon that doubles the users' power, but at a cost of their stamina," Naruto stated "But since devils are spiritual beings, you can restore your lost stamina with magic, so in fact, you can have unlimited stamina and power as long as your body can handle the strain."
"Knowing this won't help you here." Rizevim said a bit surprised that the blonde had figured out his power so quickly, but it was of little consequence.
"Now it is time to end this," Rizevim said as the Dragon Energy within his Devil Gear began to form a massive orb of power that cast a shadow all over the battlefield.
Rizevim's allies and enemies alike began trying to get outside the barrier to escape from the damage an attack of that caliber could cause.
"Hahaha! You don't know how long I waited to do this; ever since you humiliated me in front of my father." The son of Lucifer shouted with an insane look in his eyes before launching the attack. "Now die!"
Naruto watched as the orb of dragon energy approached him and felt his Devil Gear stir and awaken from having such a powerful enemy so close.
Rizevim watched as the Dragon Orb got closer to the blonde and a massive aura exploded out of him, surprising the Son of Lucifer. Rizevim attempted to absorb the blonde's power, but found that he couldn't anymore.
Soon, Naruto's aura expanded to consume the Dragon Orb like a snake eating an egg. Rizevim felt a shiver go down his spine as Naruto came back into view fully healed with a purple aura that made the Devil Fruit within him whimper.
"Let's try this again." Naruto said as he vanished from sight and reappeared in front of Rizevim before he could react, swiping at him with his purple aura that became like sharp blades cutting into the arm the son of Lucifer used to defend himself.
Naruto jumped back when Rizevim fired a blast of magical energy at him, dodging it; however, the blast ended up killing both his allies and enemies.
The Satanchia watched as Samael's curse took effect; soon, Rizevim was on the ground, screaming in pain as his skin turned pale and a purple haze covered it.
"It looked like you were in pain," Naruto said mockingly to the man in agony. "I will put you out of it, but I will need you to break the morale of your faction first."
"Lord Lucifer!" the Lucifuge clan head shouted when he saw the state his master was in; he tried to get to him, but Lord Abaddon and several others got in his way.
Naruto had made the curse aura into one big blade and proceeded to cut the arms and legs off of the once proud Lucifer, leaving him helpless as he dragged him by his hair while flying towards the sky within the barrier.
"Look at your leader, he has been defeated. Put down your weapons and stop fighting, and you will be spared." Naruto announced while everyone within the barrier could see the broken form of Rizevim, who was twitching from pain and letting out silent screams.
Soon, most of the old Satan faction had surrendered and been captured, and the Satanchia Head said, "Thank you all for your cooperation; now, die." His subordinates proceeded to rain magical attacks on their captives which includes Lord Lucifuge.who was knocked unconscious by Lord Abaddon, killing them instantly.
It was cruel, but when the old faction decided to attack theirs, Naruto had decided that there would be no mercy for anyone on the enemy's side.
Naruto got ready to move on to the next part of the plan; once one of them had finished dealing with their opponent, they would then teleport to help the others until all of their enemies were dead.
Mephisto vs Astaroth...
Mephisto found it easier to fight alongside his allies because, out of all the generals from the extra demon faction he teleported with, he had the least amount of enemies while still being outnumbered 2 to 1. His men had better teamwork as a result of the countless drills Naruto has put them through in order to prepare for this war.
Astaroth has the power to dominate people, especially women, which is why Naruto didn't send his lover or his mother after him; instead, Mephisto was sent with an army of men.
Mephisto attacked Astaroth with a barrage of magical spells of all elements, from fire to ice, while Astaroth struggled to defend himself against the onslaught. He managed to create a shield using the ground beneath his feet.
"How dare you betray us, Mephisto? You served our parents for years; why turn on us now?" Astaroth questioned as he was being overwhelmed by the elemental attacks.
"I have always been disgusted by you all," said Mephisto in his blunt response. "Now that I am free from the original Satan, I refuse to be put under your control ever again; you spoiled brat."
Before Astaroth could respond, there was a flash of light, and Naruto with his army appeared, holding Rizevim's broken limp body in his hands.
The sight of Rizevim's power has caused the Old Satan Faction spirits to lose hope and give up their fight. The Lucifer heir has been defeated and is now in a pitiful state.
Naruto saw the battle was still going on and commanded his army to join the attack; soon the battlefield was filled with the sounds of dying Old Satan faction members.
In mere minutes, Mephisto had the severed head of Damaladosu Astaroth in his hand, and the last of the old Satan faction members were eliminated.
Beelzebub vs Mio and Lady Isha...
The battle with Beelzebub was going well due to Lady Isha's puppets and Mio's large-area gravity magic that took care of the numerical advantage the enemy had.
Lady Isha could see that Bidleid was getting more and more frustrated as the battle raged on; he used his clan's control over insects to try and attack his opponent from the inside with microscopic bugs, but Mio with her gravity magic had created a barrier too powerful for them to penetrate, so Lady Isha attacked with her puppet minions.
A flash of light appeared, causing Bidleid's heart to drop. The head of Damaladosu was in Mephisto's hand, while the limbless body of the barely-alive Rizevim lay in Naruto's.
The sight made Bidleid know his time among the living was coming to an end, but he would be damned if he didn't take at least one of those traitors with him.
"You fucking traitors! I will never forgive you for this as long as I live," Bidleid bellowed to his own amusement, knowing that it wouldn't be long with what he had planned.
The sound of the original Beelzebub charged at Naruto, forgetting about Lady Isha and Mio. "If I kill you, then I will at least take out the leader of this pit of snakes."
Bidleid's body began to glow bright as she went at high speed towards the blonde, intent on self-destructing if it meant weakening these bastards so Tsufaame could at least kill off the rest of them.
But before he could reach Naruto, Bidleid was stopped in his tracks by a gravitational barrier that surrounded him.
"It looked like you were going to do something funny; stay in there and die," Mio said in an icy cold voice.
Beelzebub beat his fist against the shrinking barrier, knowing that no matter what he did, it would eventually crush him. The son of the original Beelzebub decided to activate the self-destruct sequence rather than be crushed to death; he may even take out a few enemies in the process.
Naruto just gave him a mocking smile as the son of the original Beelzebub self-destructed, killing himself as the barrier expanded but didn't break.
Laviathan vs Maria and Grayfia...
The fight between Grayfia and Maria against the original Leviathan daughter was not going as well as they had hoped; almost all of the devils Grayfia teleported with them besides the high-class ones had died. Tsufaame didn't care about friend or foe when she was being overwhelmed by the duo's attack; she transformed into her true form (A giant sea serpent/Dragon) and annihilated both friends and foes alike. Her own army was no more, and she was attacking everyone with endless amounts of water.
When Naruto arrived on the battlefield, he was annoyed to see the daughter of Laviathan had transformed into a raging beast that attacked everything in sight.
A part of Naruto's original plan was to defeat Tsufaame and breed her into his clan, as not all Extra demons cared about purity, but there were some who did, getting Tsufaame to bear his children would strengthen his position in his faction even more than it already is.
The blonde decided to get rid of the eye sore in front of him as Tsufaame was now just a wild beast that had to be put down besides if he was mistaken, there was a young granddaughter of the original Leviathan named Katerea Leviathan running around.
Naruto activated his Devil Gear and charged at the transformed Tsufaame at high speed, piercing right through her heart and spreading the curse of Samael within her. In seconds, the daughter of the original Leviathan was dead, and the war between the Old Satan and the Extra Demon had come to a close.
Naruto was about to activate his teleportation technique to take everybody home when suddenly the barrier containing them shattered from the outside.
Naruto's attack was mildly impressive, but not much since the barrier was weaker on the outside than it was on the inside; it was meant to trap people inside, not deal with those on the outside.
Naruto saw some of the rest of the Old Satan faction's army led by the grandchildren of the original Satans; Naruto had to hold in a laugh at how arrogant they were for being such weaklings.
"You filthy little extra demon; you'll pay for what you did today," the grandson of Beelzebub stated.
Naruto had enough of the Satan descendants' bullshit for one day, so he teleported in front of the grandchildren of the original Satans and began beating them as if they were nothing. He made sure to not hurt Keterea too badly though; he would have some use for her later.
While Naruto was distracted, a devil grabbed Rizevim and quickly teleported away with his barely-alive body; Grayfia must have recognized him as her brother Euclid Lucifuge.
The Old Satan faction seeing they were being overwhelmed, teleported away with their tails between their legs, Naruto decided to let Katerea go for today, he had enough fighting for today and he could always trace her, he after all had placed a teleportation formula on her so he can go to her location whenever he wants to teleport her to him, he thought with a smirk.
New Lilith [Capital of Eden]...
Naruto and his army have returned after a complete victory over the Old Satan faction; Rizevim was rescued by his subordinate Euclid Lucifuge, the younger brother of Lord Lucifuge Grayfia.
"Home sweet home," Maria said, and Naruto could tell she was just as happy to be back. He too was happy to be here, but he knew that this was not the end of the conflict; it was only the beginning.
"I'm so tired I could sleep for a month straight," Mio said. And as a devil, she could actually go into hibernation if she so chose; Lady Isha had once told him that there were some older devils who did this and stayed hidden.
"Thank you all for what you did today during the war; you can all hold your heads high because this is the first step to showing not only our fellow Devils, but also all factions, that we are not to be messed with." Naruto said to his army in a loud voice as they cheered. "Now, go home, rest, and mourn those who we lost, but know that their sacrifices were not in vain, but rather the foundation of our faction." Naruto paused, seeing the sad faces of some while others cheered. "You are all dismissed."
The soldiers shattered as Naruto created a teleportation circle, using it to take him and his family back to their homes to rest and recover.
