TIMESKIPPU STRIKES AGAIN

Galahad yawned following behind Yuuki, now one may ask why not simply kill the man and take Skill Creation for himself? He wanted to take it but held off on it and that was because there was one thing he didn't want to change and that was the Freedom Guild/Freedom Association, without Yuuki it would never reach the level it had in the story as for why? Because it would allow him to bypass a lot of trouble later on regarding monster related incidents as well as hang a big fuck off or die sign on all the Demon Lords as well as a better threat assessment system, facilities along with many other advantages.

Yuuki curiously asked, "So, how strong are you?" he needed to know if he were to make new plans, first order of business was to take over the adventures guild which would allow him to gather a lot of information easily and also become a gateway to the Underworld for him in case he required something illegal. Even Galahad had to praise the kid for his intelligence, he scratched his cheek, "Well I could destroy a country if I went all out."

Of course it was bullshit because he didn't want Yuuki to change his plans after learning of his prowess. Yuuki rubbed his chin and nodded, "Hmmm..... you're quite strong aren't you? Well it'll help a lot." he said smiling happy with the first partner he had gotten being actually useful, he couldn't catch on to Galahad's lies because Galahad's mental defense far surpassed everything else.

Yuuki would immediately go forward with his plans in order to realize his dreams. Galahad tapped his ring and said in a low voice, "I won't be coming to the meetings.... I have something to do." his announcement surprised the other demon lords a lot but before anyone could ask anything he cut off the connection, he'd explain at the next Walpurgis he attended, now was not the time. "What are you doing?" Yuuki asked curiously glancing at Galahad who was walking behind him, Galahad shook his head, "Just finishing some business."

Yuuki shrugged and kept walking, they were heading to the the adventurers guild. He smiled and said, "By the way, I didn't get your name." Galahad thought for a bit and said, " Adrian." there was no way he was giving him his real name because there wasn't a single person in this World who didn't know of the name Galahad. Yuuki nodded and they continued their journey.

TIMESKIPPU! 25 Years Later!

Galahad sat in a lavish office room while drinking a cup of tea, he yawned and wondered why in the name of God he was having tea. A lot had happened in the pastyears because it was near canon time. Firstly, Clayman joined the Demon Lord Council because of Kazaream's previous declaration, taking his seat. Leon was officially recognized as a Demon Lord by the Demon Lord Council even though Galahad didn't attend any meetings. Secondly, The Eastern Empire had tried to invade through the Great Forest of Jura and had foolishly attempted to subjugate the Storm Dragon Veldora which resulted in the complete and total destruction of their invading forces as well as the city they had constructed as a forward base, while this would have happened 350 years before canon normally, some dickhead would launch nuclear strikes at the outskirts of the Royal Capital after random intervals delaying their invasion...it definitely wasn't Galahad.

Veldora then being the extremely intelligent individual he was proceeded to attack another major city on this side of the continent which resulted in the Hero being dispatched to take care of him, after what was described to Galahad as a battle that ravaged the land, the Storm Dragon was sealed under a cave in the Great Forest of Jura. This was good for him because he wanted these events to proceed as in the original or it would become a problem later.

He yawned and shifted about in his seat, he missed his maids and the other demon lords quite a bit, it had been 25 years after all which was to the him now quite a short amount of time. The teenager in front of him laughed, "What's wrong?". Galahad shook his head, "Nothing just thinking about how it feels like we met yesterday." his gaze fell on the other people in the room, he had no idea how in the name of hell Yuuki managed to convince the Moderate Harlequin Alliance to help him out without Kazaream but then again, those guys were people for hire so it was sort of understandable, thanks to that he had to be careful about accidentally running into Clayman the dumbass would ruin his plans.

Yuuki chuckled, "Well for someone as old as you, of course 25 years would be like that." he knew the person in front of him was more than 500 years old. Galahad slightly smiled, "Hey don't.....call me a geezer." of course he fed them a shit load of lies in order to hide his identity and since Yuuki trusted him from the beginning he didn't bother checking his background. Galahad sighed, this was one of the reasons for Yuuki's downfall in the LN. "Hey whatchu doin?" Tear popped up near him so he picked her up and threw her away, she rubbed her head, "Why are ya so damn mean?" seriously this guy kept yeeting anyone he wanted to.

Moving on, even Galahad had to praise Yuuki's intelligence. In just 25 years, the man had sunk his claws into most illegal businesses and had also become the grandmaster of the Free Guild, furthermore he had completely overhauled the system removing any and all corruption and made much better facilities for all adventurers and the tiering system too. Galahad was glad that he had decided to follow through with his plan because it removed quite a bit of thing that would be pain in the asses. He yawned and walked over to the window, looking out his gaze fell on the majestic and advanced kingdom of Ingrassia, well the capital at least since the Free Guild Head Quarters were located here.

Though he had complained a lot during the past 25 years as well, this is because the young man called Yuuki didn't know the meaning of the word rest and had been working non stop for the past 25 years to achieve his dream and he also made them work a lot too, though Galahad still lazed around a lot, leaving the work to golems he created using magic. Galahad sighed, the shit he did for power.....the shit...he did...for pow-Oh God.

*FLASHBACK*

A Walpurgis had just ended with basically them catching up on each other's progress and discussing major events and movement....they were just messing around.... All the others including Milim,Dagruel and Luminous had left the place and the only two people in the room were Guy Crimson and Galahad himself. Guy was smirking at him and Galahad looked like he was going to die, taking in a deep breath he asked, "Guy can I copy your skills?" there was no other way about it!

Guy raised her brow, "Wow so blunt, you know you can't just ask someone something like that right?" what the hell was this guy thinking? Galahad shook his head, "Yeah I know.....just forget it..." he would find amid battle opportunity. Guy gained an amused smile and said, "I didn't say you couldn't~" oh this would be fun! Galahad narrowed his eyes, "So can I?" there was definitely something else at play here. Guy wiggled her finger saying no, "Don't you know my dear Galahad? Everything has a price~" of course she wouldn't let an opportunity like this pass.

What did she want from him? Galahad rested his head on the table, "So what....do you want?" he asked lazily. Guy chuckled, "I think you know what I want~" she would finally get what she wanted. Galahad's eyes widened, "Fuck...no" there was no way in hell but two ultimate skills were on the- NO he wasn't doing it!

Guy bit her lower lip, "Fuck yes" she said nodding, she knew Galahad would do anything for what he wanted part of why he was so interesting and with two Ultimate skills on the line there was no way he was going to reject her proposal and him gettting stronger would be to her benefit as well. Galahad just sat there thinking for several minutes weighing the pros and cons and in the end, ".....Fine.." he said begrudgingly, how did he not see this coming?! Now if only some told him, "Congratulations you just played yourself." Guy said grinning. Galahad grumbled, "Fuck you." she was too damn annoying! She nodded slowly, "That's what you're going to do." she replied smirking. Galahad stood up and walked over, intent on just going ahead and doing it, he kept reminding himself that Guy was originally a female.. What happened in the end was something neither of them were going to forget.

*End of Flashback*

Galahad shivered in place making Yuuki look at him curiously, this person was the one who had helped him out more than anyone and shared his dream, one of his closest friends and someone he would entrust his life to in other words Galahad was actually even more manipulative than he gave himself credit for. He looked to Footman, Tear and Laplace his other accomplices in this venture of his, today was the day they were going to crush the Dark Organization "Echidna".

Galahad gazed at him and chuckled, normally Yuuki would have been summoned around the same time as Hinata and be under the tutelage of Shizu but that role was this time performed by Galahad himself and he had been the guiding figure for the kid because he summoned him a lot earlier than the original time he was to be summoned at.

He looked at the kid he had been with for 25 years now taking care of him, teaching him about the World and helping him out, they had been 'partners' for the past 25 years and he could see how much Yuuki had come to trust him but now after those 25 years Yuuki had fulfilled his purpose and brought about all the changes Galahad required of him, in the end Yuuki's intelligence would be his downfall since it allowed him to obtain Skill Creation, something Galahad needed and the skill couldn't be copied either, Galahad knew because he had tried it.

He walked over to Yuuki who looked at him curiously, "What do you want?" Galahad yawned and stretched his arms before his eyes turned cold, it was the time to get rid of something that was unnecessary to Galahad's future. "H-Hey what's wrong?" Yuuki asked a bit surprised by his cold figure, this was a look he had never seen before. Laplace blasted forwards, "Yuuki get the fuck outta here quick!!" he shouted punching Galahad who grabbed his fist and casually threw him to the side.

==============

about 70-75 years till canon, got quite a bit of stuff left too since a lot of events took place in the 100 years before canon.
