Ch.2 - Lucifer

"Magnolia bizarre blue forest fire starting inexplicably and ending just as abruptly. Locals have been calling it the Blue Fire incident."

July 7, 772

Living in the mountains isn't as bad as it may seem but unfortunately it seems I need to be basically perpetually calm since as I grow stronger so does my flames. and a burst of emotions my flames also burst alive at times. so that sucks. despite that it has been a productive few months. I did physical training, agility training. which is just making an obstacle course which is for me is poles made narrowly and the objective is clearing it as fast as possible.

as for magic control I am doing something semi similar as to what Rin did except with wood. specifically controlling which is to light on fire which is harder than it seems. for a solid month I had zero improvements but now it is as if I overcame a hurdle and am facing rapid improvements. another is my intent training. lighting stuff on fire but not wanting it to burn. I thought it would he easier but it is actually mentally taxing. another would be my theorized training for improving magic capacity. which is just to use it over and over. this also counts as some more control but in motion for attacks.

___

I forgot to mention this but once I completely rein in my flames my hair goes back to the pitch black and my pupils are no longer red slits. my ears aren't elongated but still a little pointy, same with canines, The horns and tail stay however.

Finally I added in pain tolerance improving which is for now just repeatedly punching hard surfaces. oh and my demon mood, flames and all, boost my physical attributes quite a bit.

I plan to head to town while bringing a carcass of some live animals and bring back clothes and tools maybe a few books.

___

Unfortunately the language spoken here is different from what I know. aka Japanese. so I'm sure I got ripped off, I got what I need and I also purchased books I plan to try and translate. for clothes all I bought was a thick winter coat should winter come for appearances sake, as well as black joggers and some tees.

___

A year since my reincarnation and I haven't had much success in the language department, my physical and flame training has been phenomenal though, imagine when I hit puberty, if in my last life puberty increases muscle mass then what now. since in some fanfics I've read they liken magic as a muscle where the more you use it the stronger it becomes, which is I can say for certain is true in my case.

Images and intent is the basis of all my flames although making concentrated flame attacks is hard. I wonder if I can make cryo flames... maybe healing flames...

what should I call my attacks? my magic is gonna be called Satan flames still maybe blue flames just in case the magic council snoops.

___

I've been contemplating some stuff, first is my conscious for the first week or so I had nightmares over what I did. killing the would be kidnappers. yet now I barely think about it and even if I did it doesn't really cause me to feel sick or anything. another is that I am more easily angered and irritated. also my tail fur is surprisingly fluffy, but if you squeeze my tail it hurts like a bitch. my passive horn flames though I've been thinking. why not use it like Ichigo?

___

Over 5 years have passed, my language is not the greatest but I know enough, reading is still a work in progress but still, I didn't want to stay in town for too long. another devilish thing about me is my beauty. yes beauty, and considering satan basically means light bearer it makes sense that like angels my 'father' is beautiful. maybe the most of them.

I mean I'm 12 and girls my age get an instant blush even older. I can see why honestly. with my long silky black hair intense blue eyes and my introvert nature they think of me as some sort of mystery prince. despite my cheap garb.

My training has basically made me into a bonafide beast. I may have had to move my hide out a few times and had to train a few miles away since my destructive attacks need to be mastered and I didn't want anybody finding me.

I have established myself in this town as the mysterious child. and thanks to this I feel like I'm not being cheated as much since I bring in a steady supply of animals and sometimes vulcans or other magical creatures.

of course some attempts to kidnap me has happened and some people concerned try to keep me here which while I appreciate I don't want. since after all regardless of how strong I am my flames are still volatile. I may be very good at controlling my flames and using my intent to not make them burn. but one mistake and I can destroy, kill and maim on accident.

as I was walking to the town called Fraschia town I heard screams of fear and the smell of blood my face turning grim at the possible implications I started running towards town, my speed phenomenal and done so with pure physical ability in my human form.

a few minutes of running and what I saw made my blood boil, a group of magical bandits ransacking and killing the towns people laughing maniacally and some women stripped and some already being raped, signs of struggle obvious in the forms of already bruising parts and bloody faces or limbs. children crying and some kneeling as they are bloody and injured men killed when trying to help their wives or just any women being raped by these filth.

"HAHAHHAHA! THIS TOWN NOW BELONGS TO US THE BLACK RIOTS!" Screamed one with better clothes and raping the arguably best looking female now marred with injuries.

The others in his group cheering while laughing in delight. one noticed me and spoke up.

"Boss! we got a pretty boy here bet he can fetch a pretty jewel!" said one in a jovial tone the other laughing and agreeing.

As he said that my mind went blank. my anger seethed as I trembled with barely held back rage.

"Aww what's the matter need your mommy?" said one in a disgusting mock baby voice. the band of now confirmed dark mages laughing at the joke.

"I got this, no need to damage the good ey?" as one approached me with the intention of capturing me. as he was about to touch me it finally happened, I let out a burst of flames and his arm started burning.

"AHHHH! HELP ME! AAGHHH" As he flails his arms in an effort to be rid of the blue flames.

The laughing dark mages now looked serious as two people rushed to the one with a burning arm applying water magic that to their bewilderment unable to help the burning arm.

My intent was for it to burn slowly and painfully my rage letting my more immoral thoughts run rampant.

"Oi brat how bout you extinguish the flames and come join us. your unique magic seems strong. how about it? riches, women, whatever you want you can get?" the leader offered as he stopped raping the woman and pulled up his pants as others did as well taking a ready stance and some grasping weapons.

hnn, he must think I am naive so he makes such boisterous claims.

I calmly raise my arm and give him the middle finger. he seems confused at my gesture not knowing what it signifies, but looking at my face that shows open disdain he becomes angry and charges at me. chunks of earth attaching to him as makeshift armor.

I stand in place as I lowered my arms and side step at the last second while sticking a foot out and pushing him down with my arms. he fell to the ground with a thud causing the ground to crack and him to spit blood.

his goons now scared but the boss groaned out.

"What are you waiting for! it's only one kid!" that seems to let them recover some courage as I was sent a barrage of spells from all direction, chunks of rock to balls of water and even blades of barely visible air hell even some electricity.

I decided to finish this quickly and unleashed the beast if you will.

[Play Monster- Skillet.]

As the barrage of spells neared, at the last second I activated my demon form and as if responding to my magic the air rushed and my domain came into being. around me for a good 40 feet some flickers of blue flames were on the ground. the spells sent as me doing no damage not even reaching me disintegrated due to my magic.

Now standing covered in flames with my was concealed horns on display my snow white hair and glowing red pupils staring at them with a calm look. My tail unwrapping and flicking around lazily.

"D-D-Demon!" one screamed in terror, finally finding it within him to scream. they slowly tried to back away despite the screams of help and terror of their boss, but I trapped them in a wall of flames and looked at them each dead in the eyes.

"You call me a demon?" I said calmly when the truth is I'm barely stopping myself from killing them all.

"What else are you freak!" with a surprising display of courage one screamed at me.

"Oh, and you scum kill, rape, pillage you aren't? who's the true demon here? it is you scum who don't deserve to be called humans." I said in an emotionless voice.

"What's it matter to you freaks! you guys are worse being in league with acnologia and stuff!"

I said nothing and instead let the walls down a little.

"Guys it's only one kid freak! demon or not he is still a kid!" they rushed at me fully intent on battling me. hilarious. these 3rd rate mages are only flies.

"Satan Bomb" I said simply. and with me as an origin point and up to the wall of flames a column of flames erupted.

when the flames died out the most prominent thing was the smell of burnt flesh and cries of anguish of the dark mages. I chose not to kill them and permanently maim them instead. I burnt their legs so badly that I doubt even wendy could fix it. 3rd degree burns all over their body and particularly nasty on their crotch. of course my control isn't so good to be able to do this to nearly 30 men so nonchalantly, some are more burned, some even died.

"And correction. I prefer Devil." I let the man I was previously basically standing on up. a flame arm from the ground lifting him up while burning him slowly.

[Song end( If it hasn't already) ]

"The law may be more lenient to you scum cause you are human and have rights. but I think those who rape, torture, kill, deserve death or a life being a cripple. This is what you deserve truthfully I want to kill you all but I think a life of being a cripple in a prison cell is worse."

My previously emotionless tone becoming furious yet still even in speech.

"P-p-please! I have a family and children!" One of the more badly burned ones choked out. that had me pause my face morphing to disgust.

"AND YOU PARTICIPATE IN THESE ACTIVITIES! HAD YOU JOINED AN HONEST GUILD THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN I EVEN SAW YOU KICK A CHILD REPEATEDLY! IF THIS IS WHAT IT IS TO BE A HUMAN THEN I AM GLAD I'M A DEVIL!" I yelled at him in anger. but a trickle of guilt was still there no matter how small.

The man had nothing to say and instead is now openly weeping and saying incoherent voices.

"...Take this as an act of mercy." I said in a small voice but somehow still heard by all.

"Firefly." A small flame became vaguely like a firefly and flew to him and exploded his damaged body, killing him instantly.

"... Don't misunderstand me. I don't like doing this, but I have major doubts in human justice systems, and for you. you deserve a slow death." I slowly raised the temperature of the flame torture of the boss of bandits.

"AGHH! PLEASE JUST KILL MEEEE!!" his agony filled yells filling the clearing. I punched his still floating form in the middle of the chest near the chest.

"Hopefully this symbolizes your heartless nature..." I said slowly as I let him drop. still in my demon- Devil form I trembled a little. I spotted a quivering figure and slowly moved towards it. as if magic a woman notices and ran to the trembling figure and proactively stood before it.

"Please! please leave my son alone!" It was one of the raped women her clothes still torn and her privates exposed yet she chose to 'protect' her son before me.

"I meant to harm... I only wished to heal him." I said slowly knowing that witnessing cruel acts would make it hard for her to accept it.

It seems she didn't believe it as she still stood defiant Infront of me, now clutching her child.

Accepting the fact she wouldn't believe me I made a huge flame and threw it to her engulfing her, she shut her eyes and bit her lips in an effort to brave the pain I presume.

"Phoenix arts: Flames of healing" I said, and she opened her eyes in confusion only to see her bruises and injuries as well as her trembling child slowly heal.

She stayed agape but realized who did so and looked at me tentatively but nodded in thanks. "T-Thank you..." She said.

It seems everyone is now looking at me still not sure what to make of the situation.

I let my flames spread to everyone except the dark mages and I closed my eyes and activated my current best Phoenix arts.

"Phoenix Arts!: Blessing of Yggdrasil!" And within seconds everyone injured is now alright, my flames doing nothing but heal. although some did a little burning of wood and stone...

Everyone stood their agape in awe of my skill but still. I am a self proclaimed devil but to them I am a demon. a creation of Zeref or kin of Acnologia

Meanwhile I started sweating and breathing a little harder, just a bit. I only had about 31% of my reserves left.

An awkward silence ensued and I just slowly started walking out of the village but to my and everyone's surprise one of the kids hugged me.

"Thank you onii-chan for saving mama and defeating all those bad guys!" her dirty face with tear stains looked up at me with a wholehearted smile.

I couldn't help but also smile and patted her head.

one man almost made the to call her but another held his shoulder.

"...your welcome, but you shouldn't have done this what if I was evil and hurt you?" I continued patting her head as she enjoyed it as well.

"Onii-chan saved mama, defeated the bad guys, and made everyone stop hurting! you are a good guy!" I smiled and gently pried her off.

"Goodbye..." I told her, She tried holding again but her presumed mother held her back and hesitantly nodded towards me.

I started walking off but her question made me stop.

"Onii-Chan what's your name?"

"...Lucifer...." I said as I continued walking away.

"The town of Fraschia in Magnolia saved by a demon proclaiming itself as a Devil?!"

"2 days ago in the quaint town of Fraschia disaster struck as a Dark Guild calling itself Black Riots pillaged their town. they proceeded to kill some and rape the women and torture the men or children who sought to help the women. Until when a long time visitor of their town who they didn't know the name came presumably for his resupply run.

when this child proceeded to transform! becoming wreathed in flames and horns showing on his forehead, his tail showing. he bathed the dark mages in flames and tortured and killed some, maiming most. yet the demon who proclaimed itself a devil actually healed all the injured and even entertained a small child who clung to him all the while smiling gently.
