Ch. 102 Lolopechka

( Yuto Pov )

" Those Rune things, can you teach me them?"

Gadjah:" You want to learn the mana method, I'm sorry, but the grimore you have doesn't have any elements or plant type magic as you need to have an element attribute to learn mana method."

I leaned back on the couch and spoke.

" Remember that move I countered you with when you attacked first?"

Gadjah thought for a while before he remembered I had used thunder breathing.

Gadjah:" Right, how did you do that?"

" How about this, I'll teach you the breathing technique, and you'll teach me the mana method."

Gadjah thought for a while before agreeing.

Gadjah:" Alright."

* Creak *

The door opened to reveal the princess.

Gadjah:" Princess, let me get that for you."

Gadjah spoke as he stood up from the couch and walked towards the princess to get the tea from her.

Princess:" Thank you, Gadj....kyaaa!!"

She tripped.

Scathach caught her, and as Gadjah caught the tea set since the princess was about to hand it over to him.

Scathach:" You're a princess, aren't you? You should act like one."

Princess:" I.. I'm sorry! I'm trying to!"

The princess sat down on the couch across from us, and she spoke.

Princess:" I am Lolopechka, the queen of the heart kingdom." She introduced herself.

" I am Yuto, and she's scathach."

Lolopechka:" It's a pleasure to meet the both of you."

Then she noticed the black bulls robe.

Lolopechka:" Are you perhaps from the clover kingdom?"

" Yes, we are."

Gadjah:" So you're already a magic knight? that's impressive."

Lolopechka:" I thought the two of you would be royalty from the way you two carry yourselves, perhaps nobles?"

" No, we're not. we're foreigners."

Gadjah:" I see."

Lolopechka nodded.

Lolopechka:" Oh! please enjoy the tea..."

* Click *

Someone opened the door to reveal a woman with long hair and a gown that is made of water.

???:" Lolopechka, she's back." She spoke in a serious tone.

Then she noticed us.

???:" And these two are the guests?"

Lolopechka:" Uh yes! this is Yuto and his partner Scathach."

???:" I see, I'm Undine, a water spirit that made a contract with Lolopechka."

Gadjah:" Wait, you said she was back!?"

Undine:" Yes."

" Who's back?"

Undine:" I apologize, but this is the heart kingdom probl...."

Lolopechka:" Undine, they could help us."

Gadjah:" I agree. They may not look like it, but they're pretty strong."

Undine:" Sigh, children shouldn't be on the battlefield. But if you trust them, then I have no choice but to let them help us."

Getting up, Scathach spoke.

Scathach:" This person who is she?"

Walk I ng down the hallway Undine spoke.

Undine:" She's from the spade kingdom, one of the dark triads. she's mostly been invading us for quite a few times and...she's been looking for a fight with us a few times."

Gadjah:" She's Vanica Zogratis. She holds the devil Megicula."

" Devil?" I spoke as I turned towards him.

Undine:" Devils are able to enter people and make them their hosts, and give some of their power to these hosts."

" I see."

Undine:" Lolopechka, change your clothes and well head out to face Vanica. Gadjah, you're still injured, so you'll have to help the citizens not get caught in the cross fire."

Gadjah nodded as he left to inform the other spirit gaurdians.

Scathach:" I guess well, wait for you."

Lolopechka:"Thank you two for helping us."

We just nodded as she went into a room with Undine.

* A few minutes later *

We stood outside as Lolopechka was dressed in her queen outfit and holding a staff.

I felt a large amount of mana heading our way as Lolopechka felt it as well and started floating in the sky.

Vanica:" OH!!? ALREADY READY FOR A FIGHT!!?? I SEE YOUVE BROUGHT TWO OTHERS WITH YOU AS WELL!!"

' Ugh, I'm getting creepy vibes from her.' I thought as I looked up.

I felt a large number of people infiltrating the heart kingdom.

These people were probably from the spade kingdom.

Me and Scathach looked at each other.

" You help Lolopechka and Undine. I'll go down and help the citizens."

Scathach:" finally its my turn." She smiled as she held her spear.

Dropping to the ground, I saw many people from the spade kingdom attacking the citizens and causing chaos.

'Breath of Massacre: Seventh form: Massacre'

Moving fast with gracefully footwork, I moved between the enemies and killed them with a fast strike.

By the time I was done, I felt mana was activating on their bodies. Seeing them get up after killing them, I knew they had some immortality.

' Sigh. Alight, so this must be something that involves the devils magic, I'll probably have to use the Holy Element.'

[ Ding! New Mission ]

[ Force back Vanica]

[ Make Vanica usee 100% of Megicula ]

[ Kill all of Vanicas' dark disciples]

[ Rewards: New weapon, new title, new equipment.]

' Holy arts: First Form: Radiant strike.'

Charging the Holy element to the blade, I started swinging it, killing another dark disciple. I kept doing this for a while.

Charging up the Holy element into the blade as I activated [ Delayed Attack ], I unleashed a Holy attack the surrounding enemies.

' Holy art: Second Form: Divine slash'

It was like the first form but more deadly and unleashes a Holy blade to the enemy.

' Holy Art: Third Form: Divine Barrage.'

I'm sending out multiple slashes in a second. I killed last dark disciples as dark smoke came from their bodies.

Looking up, I saw Vanica covered in dark markings as it reached half of her face.

' Seems like they need help.'

Flying up with Aeromancy, I sneaked and attacked her back with the Holy Element.

Vanica:" AAAAAAAAHHHH THAT HUUUURTTTTSSS!!!!" She yelled in a disoriented voice.

Undine:" That's It!!! keep doing the same attack."

Nodding, I used the first form again but was dodged, and Scathach tried to keep her from moving as she shot a rune that shot out fire.

* Boooom!!!*

Vanica:" With her large right hand, she tried to attack me with the cover of the fire.

putting up the blade, I cut off her the hand. Lolopechka used her water element to attack.

Vanica moved back as she held her hand.

Amd. Before she could react, Scathach was already behind her with her spear.

Scatahch peirce her stomach and Undine held her I'm a chain of water and I used this chance to stab her stomach.

'Shit should've attacked the head.'

I made a rookie move when I came to demon slaying. always cut off their head.

Feeling the large amount of mana coming off of Vanica me and Scathach I retreated as Jndine tried to hold her down. And Lolopechka tried to help.

* Booom*

I felt my blood move but controlled it.

' Holy arts: Second Form: Divine slash.'

Sending a blade towards Vanica, which she destroyed by her hand, I realized that my holy element wasn't high leveled.

' Shit.'

I felt my stomach get peirce with Vanicas hand.

" Blurgh." Blood came from my mouth as I felt a curse was placed on my body.

' Shit I don't have anything that nullifies curses. Only dark elements.'

Vanica:" HAHA, 70%!!!!"

Grabbing her arm as Scathach attacked her from behind, but was blown away with blood magic.

' IRIS UNLOCK MY CHAKRA AND LIFE FORCE!!'

< Under stood, sir!!> I

I felt the demon slayer mark appear on my body and felt stronger. Using this strength, I held tightly on Vanica and held a paper bomb in between my fingers.

* Psshhh *

Vanica:" Oh!!?"

* BOOOOOMM *

I couldn't feel my regeneration kick in, so I had to use Life Force.

' Life force barrier!'

A golden light covered me as it blocked Vanicas attack but smashed by the next attack.

' Explosion jutsu! Landmine fist.'

Controlling the explosion chakra into my fist, I punched the air towards Vanica, whichever created some distance.

Undine and Lolopechka attacked with their water magic in. the shape of a dragon with both of their magic.

' Ugh.' I felt my stomach was on fire as I held on the surse that was placed on me before my clothes started mending itself.

Vanica overpowered Undine and Lolopechka, and just as she was about to attack Lolopechka, she was blocked by Scathachs spear as she used a rune to attack once more.

I attacked once more by increasing the power of the Holy Element.

' Holy arts: Fourth Form: Heavens Wrath.'

The blade unleashed a heavy Holy aura as I stabbed upward towards Vanica, whichever unleashed a Holy beam.

Vanica managed to dodged but her arm was taken from her.

Undine used a water tendril to grab Vanicas' remains arm, and Scathach was about to cut it off, but Vanica had another power up.

' Oh, come on!!'

' Sayuri!!'

Sayuri:' Yeah, yeah, I know.'

I felt her roll her eyes but ignored that.

Feeling her mana again, I spread it around my body, whichever filled my arms and neck with scales with a small horn on top of my head.

I put away my sword.

Concentrating the Holy element to my claws, I began to attack.

' Dragon breath: First form: breath.'

Black ice shot from my mouth as Vanica started to go crazy.

Vanica:" HAHAHA, THIS IS FUN!!!"

' Fun huh!?'

'Breath of Massacre: Eight Form: Frenzy of the abyss'

With little reason, I was able to keep the Holy Element on my claws.

I noticed that everyone didn't join as I was attacking without prejudice.

" HEHEHEHE!!"

Vanica:" SO FUN!!!" She talked as she was still fighting one armed.

( Third Pov )

Lolopechka:" Why can we join!?"

Undine:" Look at him. He's attacking without reason. We can't know if he's going to attack us if we get close."

Scathach:" She's right, He's beyond unreasonable now. only he can control himself."

Undine:' That's a scary amount of mana coming from him. Is that a dragon mana, I see, so that's why.' Undine thought as she analyzed Yutos fight with Vanica.

Lolopechka was watching on as she felt nervous.

Lolopechka:" Didn't she put a curse on Yuto? We should help, right?" She spoke again.

Scathach:" He seems to be doing well right now, but I don't know how long it'll last."

Scathach:' I'll have to check on him after this.'

Scathach thought as she was confident about Yuto coming out as a winner even if he's on the verge of death, as she saw him pull through death in their fights.

Though they she were worried that his luck may run out. Like the last time, he flipped a coin, which almost got him on the verge of death as he fell on his spear.

( Yuto Pov )

I didn't feel it, but hours passed as I fought Vanica as she went 100% devil mode. I noticed thatcher body couldn't keep up, but she pulled through it and kept fighting. I also felt Sayuris mana was about to deplete inside of my body.

So, I had to rely on Chakra and nature energy, especially since it's full of it here in the heart kingdom.

As the scales fell off, I activated [Gamers mind]

' Activate blessing of chakra.'

< Yes, sir .>

[ Blesskng of Chakra ] [ Active]

[ 5 minutes of unlimited chakra]

[ Cooldown: 15 days]

I was absorbing as much as nature as I could as I felt myself overflowing in Chakra.

I managed to control the unlimited Chakra and also release 6 gates.

' Sixth gate open: Gate of view.'

I felt power ruch into my body as I also felt senjutsu kick in as I balanced the chakra and nature energy, and Cat ears, Tails and claws as well as the markings appeared.

'Neko Kata: First claws'

Vanica:" HAHAHA NOW THISNIS GOING TO BE MORE INTERESTING!! HAHAHAHA, HUH?'

Blood seeped out of her mouth as she looked down to see me peirce her throat.

Vanica:" Gurgle." She tried to speak as I looked her into her eyes as she looked up to me.

" Die." I coldly stated as her eyes widen.

as she fell to the forest. I felt the curse on my body activate. Making me lose conscious.
