I groaned and sat up slowly on the couch. I held my head and Yayoi pushed me down again and looked at me as her eyes turned demon like. I looked at her and grunted a bit.
"Stay there. I won't let you even get the chance to think about leaving this house." Yayoi said to me. "If I lose you..."
"Mom.." I looked at her and grabbed her wrist and glared at her. "These people need me...I can't let my weaknesses stop me!"
We glared at each other and a loud boom was heard from outside near our home. We looked in that direction and she released me then I sat up. Kata and Kazaki ran down the stairs.
"Mom what's the hell was that?" Kazaki asked.
"I don't know..." Yayoi said then the boom got louder and a person burst through the wall with a mask on.
"Target found. Initiating combat." The person said and ran towards me.
I looked at them and teleported as they went for a slash. I appeared behind them and grabbed the back of their head and threw them against the wall and went for a punch afterwards. They grabbed my arm and pulled it down then punched my gut and kicked me away. I stumbled back and grunted then dodged their follow up attack. Kazaki ran towards the person and scratched at the person with her claws. They dodged and kicked Kazaki outside then aimed a fireball at Kazaki.
"Get away from my wife!" Kata bellowed and tackled the person and crashed through the wall. The person flipped Kata off them and stood up. Kata recovered off one hand and landed on his feet then summoned his blood swords. "I will not let you hurt my family!"
"You are not my target...therefore I will not waste my time on you." The person turned away from Kata then dodged an invisible attack from Oki. "Hmph..."
"They're fast..." Oki said and looked then her eyes widened as she was hit in her face with am elemental blast. She was sent flying and crashed on the ground.
"Sis!" Kufa growled and summoned his gun then dashed towards the person. He went for an attack and they dodged him then palmed his face. He grunted and fired a bullet. The bullet hit their mask and broke it a bit.
"A male..." I said and watched him take off his mask. "Who are you..?"
"My name is Nobuyuki Ioda. I am a part of an organization named the New Shattered Heaven. My mission...is to eliminate you at all costs!" He bellowed and his aura surged.
I was about to get into a stance then Yayoi stopped me and walked forward. She looked at Nobuyuki and her Demon Code shined brightly on her hand. She closed her eyes and her horns slowly grew from her head. I stood up straight and watched as my mother entered her Devil Mode.
"Mom?" I said softly.
"Get out of here...We will find you soon. I'll hold him off for as long as I can. It's too dangerous for you to stay with us." She looked back at me.
"N-No...I can't separate from you all! I'll fight with you!" I pleaded.
"And more will come and attack! I promise you...we will find you...so just LEAVE!" Yayoi shot a dark beam at my feet.
I took a step back and closed my eyes and ran off. Ibu watched and followed quickly behind me.
"Ibu..." Kazaki stood up slowly.
"You like playing hero, Yayoi?" Nobuyuki asked.
"Shut up...I am doing what I can to protect the one person who can put an end to this war.." Yayoi said and summoned her shield and sword.
Nobuyuki smirked and got in a stance. Yayoi dashed towards Nobuyuki and slashed downwards. Nobuyuki dodged the attack and grunted as he was hit with a shield bash and blown away. He recovered then Yayoi had lightning surging around her body. Kazaki watched and slowly stood up.
"Mother..." Kazaki said.
"Grandmama!" Nui cried from the window.
"It's okay my children...I will protect you all!" Yayoi bellowed and dashed towards Nobuyuki.
They clashed multiple times and sparks flew and shockwaves formed. Yayoi kicked Nobuyuki away and slashed quickly left and right at him then snapped her fingers and a lightning bolt struck him down. She looked back and he stood up then chuckled lowly. His hair turned white and his aura surged around him he bellowed and wings emerged from his back.
"Deification..." Yayoi said and got in a stance.
Nobuyuki's armor appeared on him then he summoned his lance then he smirked and his aura calmly flowed off his body. Yayoi gripped her sword and shield then lightning surged around her body more. Kazaki and the others retreated from the area and left Yayoi and Nobuyuki to their battle.
Meanwhile I stopped running after a bit and wiped my tears. I fell to my knees and covered my mouth.
"What am I gonna do now..? My family...the people who treated me like family are gone now. I hate this so much...Yui I wish you were here with me right now. I miss you so much. Where are you?" I lowered my head and tears rolled down my cheek. "Did I make the right choices? Why can't I just get some peace for longer than a day?"
"Big sister!" A voice called out to me.
"Huh?" I looked back and saw Ibu running towards me. She tackled me into a hug and I looked at her surprised. "Ibu! Why are you here?!"
"I don't wanna separate from you! You are my favorite sister ever!" Ibu nuzzled me.
"Ibu..." I looked at her surprised. Her words took me by surprise then I hugged her tightly and smiled softly. "You can remain by my side..."
Yayoi and Nobuyuki clashed more and more then Yayoi blasted Nobuyuki away and pointed her sword at him and a lightning bolt struck through him and she slashed in a circle and lightning struck him down. His clone vanished and he appeared behind her and palmed her back then slashed quickly multiple times faster than the eye can see. He appeared and an explosion blew Yayoi back and her weapons vanished. She grunted and stood up then he stepped on her stomach.
"You were always weak...I'm surprised you even lived for this long...Say hello to your husband for me in Paradise!" Nobuyuki was about to deal the final blow.
"Die." A voice said and blasted Nobuyuki away with a dark energy beam.
Elizabeth floated down and her aura surged from her body. Yayoi looked at Elizabeth and her eyes widened. She slowly sat up and gazed upon the Dark Lord's presence. Elizabeth is known to be one of the strongest Dark Lords known to ever exist. Her presence alone can see drive fear in the eyes of her opponents.
"Elizabeth..." Nobuyuki said and stood up surprised. "Shit...Nymphira never said Dark Lords would join the battle! Gotta retreat!"
Nobuyuki tried to escape, but couldn't. His body wouldn't move at all...better yet couldn't. A Zombie had a grip on his legs and slowly drained his energy. Elizabeth looked at Nobuyuki and walked towards him. He struggled to get away from her. She placed a hand on his chest and moved her hair to the side.
"This will...only hurt...a lot." She said and her vampire fangs grew then she bit down on his neck and drained his blood and aura. He yelled in agony and soon his body fell limp. Yayoi was surprised by this and closed her eyes. "Yuck...His blood tasted bad..and salty.."
"Miss Elizabeth...I plea that you refrain from feasting in front of me..!" Yayoi said.
"Sorry Master Yayoi." Elizabeth wiped her mouth and looked at her. "My sisters are dealing with the rest of the New Shattered Heaven members. You don't have to die for the sake of your children."
"Thank you...for saving me." Yayoi stood up.
"I am happy to help an old teacher." Elizabeth smiled then vanished.
Yayoi closed her eyes and exhaled. She opened her eyes and looked at her house then walked off.
"I have to get stronger...if I want to protect my family during this grueling war." Yayoi said and teleported off somewhere.
The Demon Faction of the Realm of the Unknown was saved from the New Shattered Heaven organization. Three more needs to be saved from them. Who knows what enemies lie beyond...What are they truly capable of..?
