Chronicle 12: Heir of the darkness

[You won the title [Imouto Master]]

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[Imouto Master] - passive

Description: This title will allow you to receive a boost of 20% of your stats and that when you are on the ground, it gives access once a day to the skill [Battle continues] when your imouto cheer on you. 10% increase, every 10 imouto (nb:10)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

As soon as I saw the title my mouth twitch, I admit I like having a lot of imouto but to have a title like that,

I and Kiana are talking about ourselves our family, our hobby, I tell her about who we are, what we are.

Zero: In short, we are Team that protects the world from human and supernatural threats mainly, if not most of the time everyone does what they want, the main members are all students in their own right and most of the time they are at school.

Kiana: I see, thank you for letting me stay with you, I hope I'm not a burden to you?

Zero: Kiana-chan you are not a burden, you learn that your world is going to be destroyed and nobody can do anything, I see in your eyes that you are lost and that's why I reach out to you because such a sad look does not go very well with your beautiful face.

Kiana starts crying, I too would have cried in her place, see your loved ones disappear, then learn your true origin and the reason for your existence then that your home will also disappear with all the memories there, I take Kiana in my arms then wait for her to calm down.

Then suddenly a kind of colorless smoke begin to spread in the room, I didn't care about it because it didn't harm me because Semiramis introduce me on how to use poison by making me drink poison to make me build an immunity against it, the smoke may not have an effect on me but it has one effect on Kiana, she looks in my eyes and blush.

???: Good luck to add a new girl in your harem Onii-chan

/ In the inner world of Zero/

Alastor: How many times has it been?

Lapiz: ...11,12 it's the 13th girl who falls for him

Reb: Sometimes I wonder if he's doing it on purpose or not.

Lapiz: I think it's in his nature

O-E Pendulum (Arios): Ahahah It's not so strange that he has the soul of 5 dragons in him, it's normal that he attracts so many girls around him.

Est: Uhm

Yamato: Master Zero is a man among men

/ In Zero house living room/

Zero: Kiana, are you alright?

Kiana's face approaches mine, we are face to face and I can feel her breath

Zero: Kiana we shouldn't...

Kiana: Onii-chan

She tells me with a cute yet erotic voice, at that moment something inside me breaks, I kiss Kiana gently on her lips. It was a very sweet kiss.

Zero: Kiana, we really shouldn't doing that

Kiana: Why? I'm not pretty enough

Zero: No, you're pretty and from our talk, I can see you're a sweet girl

Kiana: Then it good, no.

Zero: It's not, you must know that I have other girlfriends, I'm a bad guy who date many girls, do you want to be with someone like me.

Kiana: I can see you're not this kind of person, you listen to me with care, you comforted me when I was sad, you tried to make me smile when you shouldn't have to.

Zero: You won't let go of me right?

Kiana: Hum, tell me will you be there for me and protect me?

Zero: Yes I'll protect you

Kiana: Then, I don't care to share you with others, if you can give me I place to belong, and I feel safe beside you and which dumb girl would not have a sexy boyfriend like you.

Zero: I don't know what you girl seeing in me?

Then Kiana's riding me and continue to make out, we started to clash with each other's tongues. The kiss lasted only a few minutes until we couldn't breathe. Being driven by my lust I was about to squeeze her breast when...

???/???/???/???/???/???/???: Ahem

I feel several murderous aura behind me, I turn my head mechanically, and I see Sakuya, Ruruko, Atalanta, Illiya, Miyu, Kuro and Miyuki looking at me with murderous eyes, which make us sober immediately but Kiana still hug me

Zero: Hey, girls, welcome back.

Sakuya: Zero-sama you have 5 seconds to tell me what you were doing otherwise...

Sakuya tells me with a Hanya mask appearing behind her.

One thing you should know, the only person who can give me a beating in our group is Lu and Sakuya and personally the last time she was angry I had nightmares about it for a week

Kuro/Miyu: Let go of Onii-chan

Kiana: Try to make me go

Miyuki/Ruruko: Your beast

Zero: 'Let me alone it's not my fault if I'm a chick magnet' Girls, I present Kiana Kaslana, a new family member, who will live with us

Illiya: Onii-chan how many girls will you bring in this house. It like you are trying to create a harem

Kuro: Illiya he's not trying, he's creating one

Illiya / Kuro: What ???!

Miyu: Lu onee-sama tells me that she permit Onii-chan to create a harem if she's the first wife and that she admits the new girl in his harem

Kiana: Thank you

The girls talk to each other and Kiana tells them her story, of course, the girls are shocked that Kiana comes from another world but that this world is going to be destroyed

Ruruko: Onii-chan, can't we do anything for Kiana-Nee?

Zero: Although I want to help her too I'm not strong enough and even my sempai who is 10 times stronger than me can't do anything about this situation, sorry.

I shut my eyes down, it is the first time I feel so helpless in a situation, I must become stronger so that this kind of situation does not happen here, I must protect everyone

??? : You want power?

Zero: what the...

Then an image of the city of Kuoh devastated, my family on the ground everyone Himari, Vali's team, the devils, fallen angels and angels and other allied faction, everyone was either dead or seriously injured then a click triggered in my head

I find myself in front of a girl in a cape, she as platinum blonde hair and blue eyes

???: Prepare yourself

Her name Evangeline AK MacDoell, creator of the Magia Erebea, but she also a Shinso Vampire (Pureblood Vampire)

Zero: Evangeline????

Evangeline: Prepare yourself, otherwise you will die

Evangeline create a [sword of conviction] which is a blade of mana creates with her hand and run at me, I try to counter with a mana blade made of wind and lightning but I get waltzed by the girl with blond hair

Zero: Damn it, I found myself in phantasmagoria and I'm not even ready, I let my guard down

I thought that I can override Evangeline trial to gain the Magia Erebea with the Gamer but it was useless, I found myself stuck in the middle of my study of Magia Erebea, I thought my training was not enough.

But I would never think that she would use my state of mind to get me tested.

Evangeline: What is darkness, boy?

/ Lu POV /

I'm in town shopping with Mio, Himari, Aika and Asia and then I start to feel something weird when all of a sudden my connection with Zero was completely disconnected.

Lu: Aaahh

My head begins to ache, I almost fall to the ground but Himari catch me up

Mio: Luciela, what's going on with you?

Lu: Zero, something has happened to him and we have to go home quickly, otherwise, I think something really bad may happen to him.

The girls acquiescent, Himari carries me on her back and the girls start running to Zero's house.

/ Outside the spirit of Zero /

Ruruko: Onii-chan??,

Miyuki: Hey Zero what's going on you're sleeping

OE Drive: Hey, the maid, takes everyone away from him.

Then OE Driver appears and surprises everyone, then my empyrean Sharingan appears with three tomoe and change to Mangekyo Sharingan, an aura of light and darkness begin to flare from my body, thank my rings some of my powers are sealed or Kuoh may have been destroyed completely.

Sakuya stop the time and moves the girls across the living room, Caster creates a barrier around me and the house

Zero: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

OE Driver: Odd-Eyes Driver ultimate release

My gantlet evolve one more time

My gantlet evolve one more time

/ Underworld /

In the underworld, two of the 4 Maou sense the fluctuation of energy that Zero release on earth, which bothers especially the brother of a certain redhead girl because he can sense a pure power of darkness mix with pure light power from this energy

???: What is this energy, are the two heavenly dragons fighting each other?

???: It more like someone losing control of his power Lucifer-sama

???: I think also, Grayfia go to investigate the origin of this energy

Grayfia: Understand, Lucifer-sama.

The women name Grafiya disappear inside a magic circle

/ In Heaven /

In heaven it the same thing mostly all the high-rank seraphine sense the pure light from zero energy which is mostly at the same level or purer than them. But what bothers the chef of the angel and current ruler of heaven Micheal is that pure light is mix with pure darkness.

???: Michael what's going on?

Micheal: 2 new Longinus has just appeared in the system, and maybe a pure angel of light and darkness

???: You don't mean...

???: Maybe a Nephilim is born

???: Are you sure about that, brother?

Micheal: Yes and the world will undergo great change

/ Somewhere in Japan /

Somewhere a certain fallen angel has also felt the energy of our protagonist.

???: Oh, that's very interesting. That's what you were trying to hide from me.

???: What are you talking about now, Azazel?

Azazel: Hey Valina, did you feel that?

Valina: Yes, a very strong power similar to my Divine Dividing

Azazel: Oh, another dragon power that can compete with the two heavenly dragons, interesting, direction Kuoh, I should go and see Zero about the message he sends me this morning

/ Phantasmagoria /

Evangeline: What is darkness, boy? Shadow or light? Day or night? true or false? good or evil? order or chaos? reason or madness? but what you need is a much simpler force.

Evangeline: Lic Lac la Lac Lilac, Veniant spiritus glaciales!, Extendantur aeri tundram et glaciem, loci noctis albae! Crystallitatio Tellustris! (Frozen Earth).

The spell instantly freezes all moisture near the ground surface, causing shredded ice pillars to rise from the ground. I activate my eyes which allows me to see the ice pillars in slow motion and avoid them

Zero: Calm down, this phantasmagoria is here to make me understand what darkness is, it's not real.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Quest: Heir of the magic of darkness

Understanding the darkness in you and surviving this phantasmagoria

Restriction: all your demonic powers, your weapons, angelic power

Success: Magia Erebea, ???

Failure: Death

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Zero: Great I don't know why but my system is starting to give me dangerous missions I knew that my quiet days wouldn't last long

Evangeline: If you have time to talk to yourself, use it to survive

Zero: Tche, [Trickster], [Melodia Bellax]

I lean my chest back to avoid being impaled, sorry but don't want to be impaled like last time by Nero no thanks, I use my Hakkeshō while covering my hands with mana and magic of wind and lightning to add power in my blow and the speed bonus give to me by using Trickster, I begin an exchange of blows with the immortal vampire

Evangeline: Oh if you want to dance I'll go with you

Evangeline launched ice spears at me, I take a defense pose like Dante and shout

Zero: [RoyalGard]

I take the impact

Evangeline: Oh, you survive this but how long will it take before you crumble

During this confrontation, I use all the techniques I have learned so far but every time I lose against her, I have died 50 times and my mind starts to run out of ideas how long have I been fighting 90 or 130 hours I am so mentally tired that I wonder how I can still stand up

Evangeline: The prologue of darkness, a small black hole that takes everything. At the origin of chaos, if you don't understand what it means..... I will destroy you here and now. Die

Zero: Evangeline represents my definition of darkness, but what does darkness mean to me?

Evangeline: Although I expected you to already know what it means

Zero: Heh?

Evangeline appears in front of me and pierces me with a fist coat with magic

/Outside Phantasmagoria /

The girls don't know what to do, the body of Zero radiate uncontrollable energy, and his body begins to tearing apart and heal simultaneously altogether.

Ruruko: Onii-chan, Onii-chan wake up, Miyuki-nee what's happening to Onii-chan

Miyuki: I don't know I think he's losing control or something.

Sakuya: Arios-san what's going on with Zero-sama

Arios: The kid is trapped in phantasmagoria and passing a test if he succeeds he will gain a new power but from the injuries he suffers we would say he is at the end of the roll if this continues he will die.

Kiana: We can do nothing about it?

Illya: Ruby can we do something for Onii-chan?

Miyu: We can Sapphire?

Ruby: All we can do is to heal him, or his body may not survive

Sapphire: I agree with my sister it the only thing we can do.

Scáthach: Really what an annoying master

Scáthach uses her runes to confine the energy that Zero releases then saddles it in his body then Illya and Miyu use healing magecraft while Caster uses her healing rune to stop his body from breaking apart but this does not solve the problem but he will survive longer.

Jack: Dad, will be all right?

Miyuki: Now that I think about it, who are you, both of you?

Scáthach: Forgive me for the late introduction my name is Caster, I am this imbecile Servant and also his tutor in runes and fight

Jack: We are Assassin, Dad's daughter

Ruruko: ...Eh ?????

Girls: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh

Zero: Huuuuu!!!

/ Kuoh /

A magic circle appear above one house of Kuoh and from this circle appear Grayfia Lucifurge the Queen of Sarzecks Lucifer

Grayfia: The magic signature disappeared but I'm sure it came from here, I should go see Rias-sama she should know more.

The maid disappears and goes to the ORC of the Kuoh Academy.

/ Phantasmagoria /

The fight becomes more and more fierce Evangeline throws icebergs at me, I dodge almost all of them, I stop one with the palm of my hand pushing me back then Evavangeline arrives behind I avoid the punch soaked in magic that destroys the iceberg, she tries to trap with an ice spell but I dodge it by doing, a back somersault

At that moment a tramcar falls between us and then I see Evangeline preparing a kick

Zero: Shit

She sends me with the tramcar in the air and then chases me

Zero: Sagitta Magica, 10 lightning arrows, [Raika Houken]

I blow up the tramcar hoping to have touched Evangeline but she appears not to have suffered any continuous damage with a series of blows to the body at one point she grabs my wrist and blocks it behind my back and throws me towards a roof where I crash, then she descends from the sky and walks on my face what freezes everyone around me and me with

Zero: Gnnn!!!

Evangeline: I'm surprised you can still move so much. In this phantasmagoria, you can't sleep, you can't escape, you can't die. The fact that you have lasted so long is nothing less than a miracle, really splendid. But even your soul has its limits. How many times has that been? 99? Do you think you can have another fight,... boy?

She pierces me again and once again I've been defeated.

Evangeline: What? Is that all? Then your path to light and darkness has been cut off, you will lose your powers, it won't be so bad to live your days in this academy enjoying the company of your friends. You did well, boy.

* Ba-dump *

Zero (head): I can't fall here, not until I reach the top I have too much to see, so many people to meet, I have people to protect, I make a promise

* Ba-dump *

Zero: If I fall now all these months of preparation and training will be for nothing

* Ba-dump *

I get up

Zero: I bet my soul on these last moves

And I begin moving at my fastest speed

Evangeline: What?

Zero: [Kakuda Chōchū]

I elbow her will my elbow was coated with a lightning magic arrow while releasing all the energy I've store with [RoyalGard] to make my attack more brutal.

Evangeline: That...

I'm heading towards Evangeline who still doesn't understand what just happened.

Zero: [White lightning] + [Black lightning]

[Resonance Activated]

Zero: Hi-Ogi Biako No Hikazuchi

My hand is covered with White and Black lightning that I put on Evangeline's throat that crashes against the ground and I drag her on the ground

Evangeline: Nivis Casus (Avalanche)

She counteracts me with her AoE of ice which creates a huge avalanche that sends me back and then she chases me and in exchange for quick hits, I become more aggressive, I don't let any hits touch me but I still end up losing

Evangeline: Too bad, my boy.

Zero: I lost again, Even that... wasn't enough?

Then I fall,

Lu: What are you telling Baka-Zero after everything you just said, you're going to give up like that?

Evangeline: Lic Lac la Lac Lilac, Veniant spiritus glaciales obscurantes! Cum obscurationi flet tempestas nivalis!

Zero: ...

/Flashback/

Evangeline: Although I expected you to already know what it means

/End Flashback/

Evangeline: This is the end, boy! Nivis Tempestas Obscurans

Zero: Haaa, let finish this

/ Flashback /

???: Follow your path, remain true to yourself and face all the obstacles that will come in your way. You're not alone I'll always be with you.

Lu: Whatever power you would gain in the future, even if it's the power of someone else, Light or Darkness, it's your power.

/End Flashback /

Zero: Aaaah

I stop the ice tornado with a magic circle and my hands

Zero: Magia Erebea is in other words

I turn my palm upward

Zero: Good and evil, strength and weakness is the power to welcome them all, exactly as they are!

Zero: Complexio

I compress all the magic in my hand and absorb it into myself, creating a big explosion that destroys the entire top of my uniform, the magic I have absorbed emanating from me.

Evangeline: Oh, wonderful boy, Magia Erebea... So you understand it now?

Zero: You're a shadow construct from my memories. In other words, you're a part of me. I knew that to overcome this trial I did have to defeat you.

Evangeline: Then why did you try to fight me if you knew about it?

Zero: You can tell, I wanted to test my self if I deserve so much power but also so much responsibility

Evangeline: Hum, you've wasted enough time. That's alright though you've been successful...

Evangeline jump creating a [sword of convinction] with her hand palm

Evangeline: Now show me what you've gained

I release all the magic in my body in an all-out punch again Evangeline which create a great explosion

/ Zero's house /

Zero: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I look around me, to see that I'm back in the real world, I notice that my clothes are in shreds, that I have multiple scars on me, that the living room is a complete mess.

Arios: Hey, kid, how are you feeling?

Zero: My head and body ache as if I was bash by a truck, Eva hasn't held her punches against me at all.

Arios: But you managed to get out of that alive.

Zero: It wasn't easy, but you're right.

While I'm chatting with Arios I don't pay attention to the people around me, if I did I would have noticed a group of girls running at me.

Girls: Onii-chan/Aniue/Zero

Zero: Buhaa!!!!

The girls are all around me, some of them are checking if I don't have a serious injury, the younger ones keep crying because they were really afraid that something would happen to me.

When all of a sudden the living room door opens to see Mio, Himari with Lu on her back, Aika and Asia out of breath

When the girls notice the state of the living room and my state with girls crying on me, they come toward everyone to find out what happened.

I tell them what happened in the phantasmagoria without hiding anything because Lu knows when I am lying, what I was telling shocked the younger ones because it was no fun to tell how many times and how I was killed to test myself against Evangeline.

When I finished telling what happened, Lu got up from her seat and approached me.

Zero: What's up Lu?

*SLAP*

A slap resounds in the room, then I start to feel a pain in my right cheek, after a few seconds I understand that Lu has just slapped me, I don't know why that slap made me feel a lot of emotion, anger, pain, sadness, I feel it all from the depths of my soul.

Lu: You promise me you won't do something dangerous

Then she hugs me while crying

Zero: ...

Zero(though): I'm the worst making her cry

I hug her back

Lu: Baka

Zero: Sorry

Lu: Baka

Zero: Sorry

After that Lu sleeps on my lap, of course, Sakuya, my cousin berated me for making everyone worry and my Servant also reprimanded me for letting my guard down and that I should have finished the fight quickly if I knew how to finish it in the first place.

While the girls begin to clear the living room, I was sent back to my room to recover. While I'm in my bed I'm looking at the reward I've gained, because the mysterious reward makes me curious

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Quest success

Quest: Heir of the magic of darkness

Reward: Magia Erebea, Summoning: Evangeline AK MagDoell

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Magia Erebea (AKA Dark Magic) - Active - LV.50/100

Description: A forbidden technique created by Evangeline A.K. McDowell over 10 years, in which the user absorbs offensive magic designed to harm the enemy into his own body, to the point where it fuses with their very soul. The technique feeds on the user's body and soul, but in return, the user gains power many times that of any ordinary person.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Zero: Seriously, I wonder if I'm cursed or something, all I do is have loli around me.

I take off my top and concentrate a little mana in my arms while thinking of the Magia Erebea, the runes of my Devil Bringer disappears to give way to black glowing markings ripple throughout body from both my arms, that go from my whole arm to my all upper body, I notice that my seal of command is still present on my back, and the circle of the contract with Est is still present on my left shoulder.

[Host received the Blessing of Darkness, you received the title [Heir to the Magic of Darkness] any magic or technique related to darkness gains a boost of 40%, you can use pure darkness, having obtained the Magia Erebea you have become a Shinso Vampire and also an immortal].

Zero: It seems that my Magia Erebea already roots very deeply in my body, I can't turn back now.

Then I decide I invoke Evangeline because who better than the creator of Erebea Magic to teach me how to use it? a flash of light appears a few seconds after a young girl of about 15 years old appears in front of me she has platinum blonde hair and blue eyes, and she wears a black and red sailor uniform.

Zero: Hello, Evangeline A.K. McDowell

Evangeline: Hum, oh it's you boy, you summons me?

Zero: Yes, you don't mind

Evangeline: No, But why did you summon me?

Zero: I want you to teach me all you know about the Magia Erebea

Evangeline: You want me the "Dark Evangel" to teach you, you have a death wish, boy

I activate my [Actus Noctis Erebeae] (or Form of the Dark Night) This is the natural form a caster assumes when Magia Erebea is active. In this form, the caster's complexion darkens as their body generates a dark miasma.

Zero: Try me, during the trial I didn't use all my powers

Evangeline: Interesting, it's the first time I see someone comprehending Magia Erebea so deeply the first time they use it, but be warned this power will kill you.

Zero: I already meet the death more time that a normal human should and I'm already like you now, I can go back.

Evangeline: ...I understand starting from today you are my disciple and I'm your teacher

Zero: Take care of me Eva-sensei.
