11 Chapter 11: Demonic Legacy
"Could you repeat what you just said?" I ask to be sure of what they asked me.
"Make us your knights," Yuki replied with a serious expression on her face
"You're sure about this decision, there will be no turning back"
"We also want to fight by your side, so that we don't see you in this state like last time"
"My Big sister is right after you disappeared, we trained for not let what happened in the village happen ever again"
When I heard their words, I remember the day when I almost lost all my friends and went into a state of fury, which I almost don't remember at all, but only when I saw the damage I've caused and the reaction of the people in the village I knew that I was a... I should stop thinking about it.
"Ok I understood" I give the knight piece to Yuki and the bishop piece to Kurumi and integrate them into their body, for Yuki the magical energy of the piece and around her strengthens her body as for Kurumi the spirits of water, wind, lightning and a small amount of those of fire enter her body and increases her reserve of magic

Yeah, thanks for encouraging me to keep going.
"What's the matter, Zerono?" asks Yuki, taking me out of my mind
"Nothing at all, well everyone should go to bed, tomorrow morning everyone at the dojo at 5 a.m for the training," I tell everyone " Zest shows their rooms to Sakuya, Himari and my big sister"
"Understood Master Zerono"
Then I go to my room, when I get there put on my pajamas and get ready to go to bed when my card holder starts to shine and then the Lancer card comes out of the pile and positions itself in front of me before me then appears in front of me a young woman with purple hair and red eyes dressed in a purple combat outfit
"I come from the Land of the Shadow. My name is Scáthach. I suppose I should call you, Master? "she said with a smile
"Yes, that's right, it's nice to meet you Scáthach" and then she hits me on the head
"Ouch, why did you hit me?"
"I thought you had something else to tell me Master" she looks at me as if she was waiting for me to tell her something and then something comes back to mind.
// Flashback //
"Young man. Are you my "Master"?" she asked.
"Yes I will be your master during this war my name is Zerono P. Akatsuki, call me Zerono or Zero, nice to meet you"
"You seem to be troubled by something, Master."
"I wonder what class you are since you carry a spear, I'll say you're from the Lancer class but I feel a lot of prana in you"
"Fufu, say you are very observant young master indeed, I am a double class, but in this war, I was invoked as a Caster class, you are very lucky this kind of event is extremely rare"
////////////
" Indeed, thank you for assisting me and teaching me, you were a great help, too bad we can't spend more time together "
" Who knows, maybe we'll meet again somewhere else, here a gift for my student I'll give you these 18 original runes and also my spear takes care of it "
// End of the Flashback //
"Welcome back, Shishou"
"I'm back, Baka-Deshi" and then she takes me in her arms
We stayed like that for a while, then we talked all night and then Shishou went back into the Lancer card and said she had to prepare the training for the next day. As for me, I went to bed because that day completely emptied me out.
// Mindscape //
All of a sudden I find myself in the void of space with lots of bright stars and galaxies all around me
"Okay, where am I now?"
"You seem calm for someone who finds himself in the void," said a voice to me
I look around but don't see where the voice comes from
"You could say that I'm used to finding myself in rather strange situations since I'm a kid so it doesn't usually change" I answer him with a face that says "it's nothing exciting
"Interesting, tell me, young man, what is power to you? "
I start to think
"Power is only destruction, for me power is nothing more than a means of destroying what is in our way and has been since the dawn of time and I have learned it at my own expense. But in the lines of my travels, I learned to use it to protect and help people. For me, power is a way to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
"hahahahahahahahaha" the voice starts laughing
"What's so funny? "
"I like you, young man, you've passed my test" and then all of a sudden a light dazzled me, I cover my eyes with my hands
When the light retracts I look in front of me to see only a big dragon with 8 wings and black scales and red markings and green pupils
"Greetings young master I am the True Dragon God of Chaos and Creation Bahamut from this moment I will be your partner and mentor"
"My name is Zerono Pendragon Akatsuki, Nice to meet you Bahamut but what do you mean by being my partner? "
"You're really a funny guy normally when I introduce myself people are nervous to meet a dragon god or are shocked but you take it as if it was normal"
"Let me tell you with all these years with my grandfather nothing surprises me anymore I became insensitive sorry to disappoint you"
"Don't worry, it proves to me that you are destined for great things, to answer your question I would be your sacred gear and allow you to have access to my powers to succeed in your quest"
"Seriously? but how a true dragon god like you became a sacred gear? "
" That Young master I'll tell you another time because I don't have much time and many things to do with you "
" Ok, I understand so you telling me that I can access all your powers? "
"Yes, but you're going to have to fight me to get them and know that I'm not going to hold back my blows, on guard." Suddenly Bahamut puts himself in an attack position and triggers his aura. Although I know it doesn't go to 100% of its power.
"Hey, Might as well go to full power then, AAAAAAAH" I invoke Brynhildr then an armor appears on my right arm and shoulder and I activate my power of the "Oni" at full power
"Bring it on, Gaki"
"Banishing Shift"
"Chaos Flare"
We fought each other until I couldn't move and to tell you the truth, I got quite a beating.
// The next day //
My alarm clock starts ringing it's 4:00 a.m.
"Um, already the morning" I wake up with a headache
"That old crouton didn't go gently with his blows."
"It shows that you need to train more," Lailah tells me.
"The young lady right Young Master, you have the power and the weapons to fight any kind of enemy, but if you don't know how to use them to their maximum you won't be able to achieve anything. From your memory I have seen that you have a good foundation and experience with it, it won't take you long to complete my Balance Breaker but only when the time comes, for now, I let have access to "Reload and Fire", "Absolute Knowledge", and my energy of chaos but you will have to learn and master it by yourself"
"Thank you very much."
"And you should integrate this Devil Bringer it will be very useful for your development and think about using Yamato to assist you" advises me, the God,
"Why?"
"Trust me and do it"
I try to get up but something is weighing on my chest. I look under my sheet to notice a certain redhead sleeping on my chest, I smile and then I approach her and then wake her up with a kiss on her forehead
"Mio, Mio, wake up"
"Onii-chan..., another 5 minutes," she replied, rushing under the blanket.
I waited five minutes and then tried to wake her up again.
"Come on, Mio, wake up, I have to go practice."
"Um, I don't want to, I want to stay with Onii-chan. "
"I'd also like to stay with you, but not today."
"No, I don't want to, not unless you give me a kiss," she said half asleep.
"Yochi, you wanted it" a smile appears on my mouth I put a barrier around my room and cut my connection with Lailah, Bahamut and my Servants.
As for Ruby and Sapphire are in a corner of the room watching me especially Ruby who takes out a camera but does not pay attention to her it's a secret to them what I will do
I began to crush my lips against hers. By squeezing my hands on her behind, and coarsely groping her. And this for 5 minutes
"Hmm, hmm,...Chu" Mio is now completely awakened with an unspoken expression probably caused by my kiss and molestation
"Hello Mio-chan"
"Hello, Onii-chan, kya" I keep massaging her behind and kissing her on the neck
(mini lemon end)
After my little session, Mio and I took a shower together and then we got ready for training and I took my cards and put them in my holder at the tight level and then look at the clock it's 4:40. I'm heading for the dojo.
When I get to the dojo, I sit on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Hey, Bahamut to be sure, I'm safe, right?" I ask the dragon god
"You're safe, well, you're only going to feel great pain, but don't worry me and the young lady watching over you."
"It's not reassuring at all, but being grandfather's test subject has its advantages, it gave me an almost infallible will and with the [Gamer's Mind] I should be able to manage
Then I take Yamato out of my inventory and put him on my knee and start meditating and then set up several barriers around the room.
I open my inventory and select the Devil Bringer
[ Do you want to integrate the Devil Bringer ]
"Yes, AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!! "
It hurt more than anything I had ever suffered, it was like being torn apart all the time and healing at the same time. "Resisting" was the only thing I could think of, resisting suffering as if I was resisting all my life...
In my reality marble, all the demonic swords and Yamato started to release their energy to assist assimilation and adapt my body to the demonic energy of my arms
After 35 minutes of suffering, I could finally see what was merging with me... It was two black arms with red and black energy emanating from a rift on top with a dark blue armor similar to what is embedded around it, the... claw... of the hand emanates from the same type of red energy...
Then I collapse to the ground
[ Congratulations, you have merged with the Devil Bringer at 666% you have a more than a perfect symbiotic relationship with her now and even 566% of your being, soul, spirit or other intangible thing has almost completely melted away too. You could make them appear and disappear at will. ]
[ Thanks to Devil Bringer the skill [ Power of the'Oni' ] have evolved into [ Aura Trigger ]. ]
[ Inheritance of the Dark Knight Sparda has been detected and unlocked race becomes Human/Demon/Heroic Spirit ]
Then all of a sudden Yamato moves on his own and starts to shine
[ Yamato Seal 1/5 open ]
[ Yamato Seal 2/5 open ]
[ Yamato Seal 3/5 open ]
// 10 minutes later //
"Uuh, damn, it hurts" and then I notice all the notifications that have appeared.
"Na...nandakoriiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"Bahamut what that means, why I became 1/3 demons"
"Oh, you're awake, it looks like there was a demonic legacy in you and the fusion with the Devil Bringer and the aura of all your demonic swords unlocked that legacy, I made sure everything went well by helping out using my chaos energy, hahahahahahah"
"hahahahahahah' my butt"
"Stop complaining, aren't you the one who said nothing could surprise you? "
"Yes, but... wait a minute" I'm looking at my notifications again
"What is it, young master? "
' No, it's not possible. He couldn't have thought until then, but knowing him he could. '
"I think I know who's responsible for this, I wonder if I'm lucky or if I'm unlucky to be his apprentice I really feel sorry for others who couldn't survive his experiences"
"Oh, you want to talk about him"
"Yes, Ruby puts me in touch with Grandpa"
"Aye sir" and then a hologram appears in front of me
"Oh, if it's not my favorite grandson, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call, have you received my gift?"
"Jii-chan, I'm going to be direct with you, you're the one who injected Sparda's inheritance into me, aren't you? "
"Yes it's me you remember when I gave you a pill and you had a high fever, I wanted to test a way to be able to pass on the inheritance from one person to another but that always ended in failure but you, you are my first success"
"Yes, I suffered martyrdom for 5 days because of this fever, because of it I thought about suicide quite a few times to stop it, that's when I started to feel the presence of demonic energy in me and to have this transformation"
"The experience is a success and from what I see, it would seem that there is progress on your situation, how you feel, son."
"My body is more resistant, supple, I think my regeneration factor is stronger too, I have better control over my demonic energy, and my reaction speed is 1.5 sec instead of 3.5 sec"
"I see, let's see how it evolving, and send me a report"
"Understood, Sensei" then the line cuts off
"Well, it would seem there's nothing I can do about it, so I'll take this opportunity to see how far I can go with my new abilities."
I get up then do stretches then pumps, pull and run around the room with weights like yesterday to warm up
I pick up Yamato, by touching her full of information gets into my head, swords techniques, and movements techniques, I activate a button on a switch that makes a hundred mannequins appear then puts myself in Battōjutsu stance and I concentrate my demonic energy in all my body
At that moment the girls enter the dojo to see me concentrated ready to draw
'Yamato seals 1 and 2 release'
'Activation of the aura trigger' then a red and black aura is released around me, my hair turns white and my eyes red
"Full concentration, breath of chaos, Rapid Slash"
I drew my sword with blinding speed then cut through the mannequins and then returned to my original position while re-holding my sword.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *clink*
Then all the mannequins are reduced to dust at the same time
"Fuuuuuuuuu, I can only do that with two seals,"
"Hoooooooo" Clap clap clap clap
I turn around to notice that the girls look at me with different expressions, Zest and Sakuya look at me with respect, Mordred looks at me with a look that says "I want to fight", Kurumi, Himari and Yuki are completely blown away by my performance, Maria and Mio look at me with a look of pride and idolatry and as for Chisato she looks at me affectionately like a mother looking at her child
"Well everyone is here, we can start training but first I'll introduce you to your instructors" I take out the Saber, Caster, Lancer, and Berserker cards
"Miyamoto Musashi, Scáthach, Minamoto no Raikō, and Merlin appear" all my servants appear all but Merlin
When I announce these names it surprises Himari, Yuki and Kurumi when at the same time it does not surprise the other at all
"Zerono there are only 3 people," Mio tells me and I frown
I use my sense of smell then I reach out my hand to my right at maximum speed and grab something between my fingers and Merlin appears in front of everyone
"Where are you going to go like that, Merlin?"
"It hurts Your Majesty," I hold on even tighter.
"I repeat my question where you're going like that, huh?"
"I intend to get some fresh air," he said to me with his nonchalant look.
"Work, stupid Merlin, don't think I'll let you do what you want here and don't think I'm like my father."
" Understood your majesty, can you let my head off "
That's how the training started, Yuki and I train with Mordred and Miyamoto she's very strong but I was able to advance on my sword mastery and she also showed us how to better use a katana by teaching us her sword style [Niten Ichi-ryu].
Zest and Maria develop their physical endurance and hand-to-hand combat with mama Raiko.
Himari is learning the basics of fighting with Scàthach and is showing signs of great progress although she was just a civilian yesterday.
Sakuya and Kurumi train to use magic and how to better use mana with Merlin and Chisato
After the training we had breakfast and then we went to school, I noticed that I started to have strands of white hair which proves that I received Sparda's inheritance because according to my research all the members of the Sparda family have white hair,
I asked Sakuya to make a new school uniform for Himari because of her new appearance her old uniform is too tight for her and to ask Mio to borrow some underwear.
I also gave the girls a mystic code of my fabrication to be able to hide and reduce their aura and power to a normal level, so as not to attract too much attention
Miya and Scathach will accompany us in their astral form as for Merlin and mama Raiko they stay at home with Zest and as for Sakuya, she follows me like my shadow. Tsukihime she positioned herself on my head hiding with her illusion, I don't want to leave her with Merlin she might get into a bad habit being just a baby yet
On the way to school, I get even more deadly looks than yesterday and the girls jealously watch Himari, Yuki, Mio, and Kurumi who are almost all stuck to me, arriving at school I notice Rias and her group advancing in front of us.
