Chapter 75

•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~~•~~~~~•

Another 8 centuries have passed with Xander just lazing around in his house along with Sona. Many things have happened in the world as many countries rised and fell, Fullbrosia was founded as Ramiris died again. Xander was interested in today's happening as he felt his guts saying that something would happen. He called Sona and invited her while letting Carrera and Guinness handle the land.

They arrived at the place of disturbance as Xander was surprised. "Hm? Do you know this place, Xander?" Sona asked narrowing her eyes at Xander who just sighed. "Well, the owner of this land is probably looking for me, I insulted her too much that she became a demon lord" Sona analyzed his words and arrived at a conclusion. There is only one she in the second generation demon lords. And that is Luminous Valentine. "And why did you even do that?" Sona asked.

"Well, I wanted another part of our group to be strong so I just did it" Xander said while scratching the back of his head. Sona sighed while shaking her head at his actions. That was the same as saying he is bored at that time, she knew Xander enough to interpret his actions. "So? What is going to happen today?" Sona watched the peaceful land rid of something that would make it interesting. "Just wait for it.." Xander said while smiling mischievously.

Xander already know what happened when they arrived at Luminous's land, though he was also interested in those fanatics that are living in their. A minute later, something with destructive aura arrived at the place. "Isn't that..?" Sona asked as Xander just gave a huge smile. "Yep, its that brat. He really doesn't do anything except destroying things, I can somehow understand those two's feelings about this little guy here" Xander said as Sona nodded her head.

Even she would get a head ache handling this unstable dragon who do nothing but destroy things. Veldora floated at the top of Ruberios Holy Land before he started laughing out loud. "Kuhahahaha! This place is good, it has many beautiful structures that are nice to burn!" Veldora's loud roar was heard all over the land. But instead of getting scared at his presence, the people in the land started cursing him, calling him a heretic and they should purge them.

"Religions are really scary.." Xander said smiling lightly. "Are you sure we should just watch and let this place turn into ruins?" Sona asked while tilting her head. "Nah, we don't need to interfere at all, she can handle this.. probably" Xander said while being unsure about the last part. "Xander..?" Sona narrowed her eyes as Xander just laughed awkwardly. "Anyway, let's continue watching" Xander said trying to change the subject.

The people of Ruberios threw various holy magic to Veldora who just let it hit its scale while raising his chin. "Fools! No being could hope to challenge a being like myself!" Veldora said while giving a huge roar that shook the place. The sky was suddenly riddled with huge storms that is threatening to destroy the whole land itself. "The heretic is strong! Bring the FLAMER!!" One man said before they started bombarding Veldora again with Holy Fires. "For the God! Death to the accursed heretic!" Everybody shouted as Xander got a goosebumps at this fanatic believers.

Veldora just watched their antics with amusement on its eyes. "The small flamer is not working!" A woman said before another just slapped her head. "Fool! If a small flamer won't work then bring the HEAVY FLAMER!!" The believers started chanting some things like 'For the God!', 'The will of God!', while throwing some attacks with mass destruction to Veldora who just shrugged it off.

The believers widened their eyes when even the HEAVY Flamer didn't work, some started praying as a blinding light suddenly appeared infront of Veldora. The people below started crying, they were being basked by the blessing of their God, so they couldn't help but release their emotions. "Our God has descended! That heretic would die sooner!", "Kill the heretic!", "Grind his bones!", "Drink his blood!", "Don't left anythint left!" Some words were shouted as Luminous was starting to get annoyed. "Shut up!" She said as the place turned silent.

The people just bowed their head while kneeling, they were just followers. Any order from their god are absolute, those who don't follow it would be purge by the others! Luminous was satisfied with the silence as she stared at the flying lizard in the air. "You lizard, what are you doing in my land" Luminous said while looking down at Veldora who snorted at her words. "Big words coming from a bat. You should've just hid in your cave then you might have been saved" Veldora said.

Luminous was pissed by his words, "You accursed creature!" Luminous said before throwing a lot of Disintegration magic that Veldora accepted with a smug look on his face. But the moment it hit his body he felt pain he immediately moved away. "What?! How did that happen?" He muttered, something like magic is impossible to damage him, unless its an effect from a Ultimate skill.

Veldora also retaliated by spitting a huge Dragon Breathe destroying a part of Luminous's land as she dodged the attack. "Now you've done it! I'll kill you!" Luminous raised her hand before blood suddenly appeared in the air before turning into large spears that was shot towards Veldora. Veldora grinned before slashing his claw destroying the blood spears in the air. Luminous widened her eyed at what happened before she was thrown away by Veldora's slap.

"Hmph, I was just caught off guard the first one, those tricks won't work on me anymore!" Veldora said as he smirked. "Xander.. don't you think this us becoming really bad?" Sona asked while pointing at the battle, Veldora is still stronger than Luminous even though she is already using her Ultimate skill, she spammed Death Streak to Veldora who would just get injured before healing. "Well.. I didn't expect that it would be this bad, I was used to us man handling the True Dragons that I forgot that they are literally the strongest beings in this world" Xander said.

Sona also nodded her head at his words, after Sona surpassed Velgrynd, she now doesn't think of her as a treat. True Dragons are the peak of existence in this world, Xander's team are the weird ones for treating them as normal beings in the first place. "Then, I'll go help her" Xander said before dashing away leaving Sona who just watched it happen.

Xander arrived at the place and saw Luminous being ripped in half. Veldora laughed thinking that he already won before a disintegration magic was slapped on his face, he turned his gaze to Luminous who ressurected herself from death. A huge grin appeared on Veldora's face as he can now play with this girl for a long time, no. Maybe even forever! She can even bypass the laws of death, so maybe she could spar with him forever.

Xander saw Veldora raising his claw and was about to grip Luminous, so he stepped in and gripped his claw. Veldora and Luminous's eyes widen, for Veldora it is because he can feel the strength of the man holding his claw. It was even stronger than Dagruel! And for Luminous as she already sniffed this scent before.. she widened her eyes further more when she saw who was holding Veldora's claw. "You..!" She exclaimed while looking at Xander.

"Yo, did you miss me?" Xander give Luminous a huge grin while waving his hand. He raised Veldora before throwing him in the space. Veldora just blinked before he was now watching the world grow smaller before his eyes, he gained understanding of what happened before he used his wings to stop the momentum and began diving back towards the planet. Not even a second had pass before Veldora already returned in the planet, his landing brought a huge earthquake that almost destroyed the whole Ruberios if not for Luminous putting a barrier last second.

Xander stared at Luminous who was looking at him with obsession on her eyes as he backed down. "You finally revealed yourself!" Luminous said with a wide smile on her face, Xander was creeped out by this as he started backing away. "Oh? Where are you going? After I spent the whole 800 years looking for you, now that I found you you're going to run again? No, no, no! I won't let that happen! You're going to become my slave!" Luminous began saying some weird things that made Xander and Veldora stopped for a second.

"I'm going to make you pay by becoming my slave! You are going to be my subordinate!" Luminous said before trying to charm Xander using her skill that he just ignored. "What happened to you? I thought your anger to me was too much that you wouldn't hesitate to kill me?" Xander asked while a weird look was plastered on his face. "Yes.. that was indeed my first goal, but after looking for you for many years, I changed it! Instead of just killing you, I would make you suffer!" Luminous said making Xander sigh in relief.

"Fuuh, thank god. And here I thought you fall for me for a second there" Xander's words made Luminous stop. Fall...? What am I feeling right now..? This is not love right..? There is no way I could fall in love with this lower being! Luminous's thoughts were running while Veldora was finally losing his patience. He was being ignored the whole time while this two were having a lovers quarell. "Don't ignore me!" Veldora shouted as his aura was released from his body.

Xander stared at him before giving Veldora a weak punch on the face. Veldora flew away as he was enraged by what happened. Meanwhile far away from the fight, Carrera arrived at the scene while tilting her head. "What happened here, Ojou?" She asked Sona who just sighed. "I think that woman loved Xander.. she is obsess with him, she is now currently in denial stage" Carrera raised an eyebrow at that detailed explanation. "How do you know that, ojou?" Carrera asked.

Sona's face turned red before she looked away, Carrera understood just from her reaction. "I see.. you also experienced that huh.." Carrera said as the blush on Sona's face intensified. "Cough! Let's not talk about that anymore" Sona said while trying to return to her image. Carrera just chuckled at her actions as she turned her attention to the fight. "Hm? Is that the dragon who tried to bully Guinness?" Carrera muttered while staring at the sorry looking Veldora.

Since Luminous was still deep on her thoughts, Xander grabbed Veldora's tail before slamming him left and right like a ragdoll. Veldora roared while throwing Dragon Breath everywhere. Xander then saw Carrera before he raised Veldora one last time before throwing him at her. Veldora was thrown at the speed of light as Carrera catched her. Veldora grunted in pain, he raised his head and saw a face he didn't want to meet at all. "Yo.. its seems like you're still energetic huh..?" Carrera said with a smile.

As if possessing by something, Veldora's body blurred before everyone watched as he fled frantically. "Heh" Carrera said before throwing a Gravity Collapse at Veldora who was hit by the implosion and got thrown away across the other continent. Carrera patted her hand cleaning it from dust and nodded her head, Xander saw that Luminous is still not back so he just went to Sona's side before the three of them returned in their house.

A few minutes after Xander left, a masked black hair girl appeared on it. She stared at the still standing Ruberios as she tilted her head. "Huh? It didn't happen?" Chloe muttered before shaking her head, she can feel Veldora's presence just here a few minutes ago. Something must have happened for it to stop attacking this place, Chloe turned her attention to Luminous and widened her eyes. "How does she have her Ultimate Skill already..?" She muttered as Luminous snapped from her thoughts.

She started looking around and saw no one but Chloe. "That man..! He ran away again!" She said stomping the ground in annoyance. She turned her attention to the only person around, "You, did you see a man here? With gray hair and eyes? With an aura of a sinister being?" Luminous started describing Xander as Chloe just tilted her head, she didn't know anyone like that, even in the future there was no one with features like that. "Did he.. make Veldora flee?" Chloe asked as Luminous grumble before nodding her head.

"Excuse me but.. you have an Ultimate Skill right?" Chloe asked as Luminous narrowed her eyes, she was wondering why this girl wanted to know about that. "Why do you know about that?" Chloe confirmed her suspicions before she was stucked, she didn't know what to explain, Luminous would also find it hard to believe that she was her friend in the future. "It matters not.. I gained my Ultimate Skill because of that man. I even founded my religion just to find him but it was no use" Luminous didn't care about Chloe at all. She returned to her land leaving Chloe in there.

"This is bad.. something has changed" Chloe muttered, she needed to know this unknown variable that might change the whole future itself instead of just some minor changes. "I still need to seal Veldora.. Rimuru-san still need to be born" Chloe said before following Veldora's traces, he found him crashed in Great Forest of Jura making her sigh in relief that some things still didn't changed.

She chased Veldora before sealing him using her unique skill. The reason why Veldora could win against Luminous in the first place is because she was wasting all of her time looking for Xander instead of raising the mastery of her Ultimate Skill, the result was her having a hard time fighting against the likes of Veldora. The Veldora that Chloe encountered was also already beaten black and blue so the sealing process was not hard.

Chloe remembered whose land is this and that woman was rational enough to be talked to, so she entered the forest and went to the center. Along the way she also saw the pet of the woman living in this forest, she had a hard time convincing Guinness to let her pass, he only let her since she was interesting. She is not scared of him and was even acting familiar, Guinness liked that so he let Chloe entered the domain of her master.

She found herself infront of a house with a warm atmosphere on it, when she first entered this place she was dumbfounded as how does this place contain a comfortable house when it was littered with scary looking monsters. She went to the door and knocked it. After a few seconds the door was opened by a blond maid who tilted her head at Chloe. "Hm? Who're you?" The etiquette of the maid doesn't scream polite at all as her voice and actions sounded more like an delinquent.

Chloe just chuckled at her, she also met this woman in the future so she know who she is. This woman could handle True Dragons by herself so she is a major powerhouse that helped when fighting against those beings. "Can I talk to Lady Sona..?" Chloe asked as Carrera smirked before nodding her head. "Since you survive that hell, then I can at least let you talk to ojou" Carrera said as Chloe thanked her.

Carrera led her to a table as Chloe started reminscing about this place, they also used this place as a fortress as it had an barrier that could handle everything, even if the world collapse this place would still stood up. That's how sturdy the barrier is. Carrera called Sona who was reading a book in the veranda and told her she has a visitor. Sona closed the book before going to living room where she saw a unknown woman sitting.

"Lady Sona.. I want to ask a favor" Chloe said while looking at Sona who just assumed an emotionless face. "Introduce yourself first, you're in an Demon Lord's territory" Carrera said nudging Chloe who just did it. "I am Chloe, and I am hoping that you would seal me and kept my body in here" Chloe could only use this plan as trying to ask Luminous is impossible. Sona observed her for a few seconds as Chloe was unnerved by her gaze, she admired Sona because she was fighting in the front line when the war happened. Her ability is too strong that even Guy Crimson couldn't copy any of it. That is the explanation that was said in the future.

"Fine" Sona said making Chloe surprised, she didn't expect that she would just accept it like that. Chloe took off all of her clothes before Sona froze her using ice with the intention of sealing her. After Chloe went to her slumber, Xander revealed himself as he smiled. He realized something special that might have changed the whole situation.

Since Xander is an Acausality existence (Type 2, Type 4 and Type 5) he is not involved in any Time Paradoxes. The only Xander can be found in the world is this Xander, there are no other parallel version of him. Though he has Form that Transcended Causality, he won't use it unless necessary. That's why Chloe was only familiar with Sona as she probably saw her in the future along with Carrera. She didn't see Xander as he is not there at all. Xander nodded his head as he solved an question that was on his brain.

"This became rather messy, Sigh. I wonder if the future is still fixed in that direction" Xander said while sighing as he placed Chloe's enclosed body to Ramiris's Labryinth. Even though Ramiris died, her Dungeon still stood since Xander was pouring mana on it making it work on its own. It also became the house of thr Dryads as they said that they felt peaceful there. Xander just shook his head before smiling.

Thinking about the future is troublesome so he would rather focus on the present as it is more enjoyable. "Right, Sona?" Xander asked as Sona just looked at him with weird look on her face. Suddenly asking something without talking about the root, is this guy nuts?
