Chapter 10: I May Have Changed Too Much?

Month: 6 | Week: 4 | Day 4: Ouch Part 2

(Hime's Mansion: Front Yard)

After waiting on the others, I just finished removing 10% of the total flaws in my fighting style, then afterward, work on improving my [Soul Transmutation Circles] by fixing the flaws in them that I can't see even with [Rank: Grandmaster] for [Alchemy].

Thanks to [Outer Body Training Method], I'm able to use [Zebul Spell] without having it blow up in my face, but I had to use my own [Soul Energy] instead of using Baby Beel's [Demonic Energy] from the link between us. Nonetheless, Baby Beel's [Demonic Energy] already merged a decent amount with mine to use [Zebul Spell] in [Outer Body Training Method]. In fact, I got it to the point where I could use [Zebul Spell] to create an emblem for me to stand on in mid-air and use its explosion to increase my own speed, and unlike Oga, who required [Super Milk Time] to do it for the first time. I don't, thanks to having my own [Demonic Energy] to use.

Now, I just wonder how strong Shigure became over the years while possessing the [Persona System].

If it wasn't for the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought]. I know for sure I have zero percent of facing Shigure. And having [Outer Body Training Method] would seem limited for some users, but I faced countless beings beyond powerful than most universes. So, I can continue gaining more experience using my new abilities in time fact, and without having to end up with lots of injuries during the process.

20 minutes later*

"Okay, I placed down the last [Defensive Rune Spells]. Now, we don't have to worry about destroying the area. As long as someone continues to support the [Rune Spells], then it will stay active." I said to everyone, mostly towards Serafall and Artoria, as those two are the ones that have to keep the [Defensive Rune Spells] activate until either Shigure or myself are no longer able to fight.

"You sure Serafall and Artoria will be enough?" Yoruichi asks with concern in her voice, as she doesn't know how much destruction will occur soon, and she rather not take any chances.

"You can help them out if you wish. I would ask Hilda, but she has to watch over Baby Beel. While Asia can't do it as she requires to stay in peak condition when this is all over." I replied to Yoruichi's question while ignoring the way Hime got Flandre to record this entire thing with a camera. "You ready, Shigure?" I glance at Shigure, who already draws out her [Nodachi] and ready to attack at any moment now.

Shigure gave me only a nod as her response, as she keeps her eyes on me while trying to see how I fight. As my old fighting style won't work for me after losing the [Persona System].

Taking this as my cue to get ready; I relax my body and didn't get into a fighting stance. As the newly formed [Ancient Martial Arts: Ogata Style] actually don't have one after moving up the basics.

Neither Shigure or I begin our attacks yet. As we continue to study each other body language to see what kind of moves each of us will do.

However, the battle has already started, where we're doing a mental battle, trying to see who will strike first and how, while thinking of a way to take down the opponent down as quickly as possible.

The silence was unnerving for the people on the sideline, as the fight hasn't started, but to towards that have enough experience can already tell the fight already started and the real one will soon begin.

So far, I haven't activated my [Pure Eyes] and just wanted to face Shigure without having to rely on it; well, not so early into the match.

Using [Time-Skip] first, then [Flash Air] to appear behind Shigure, who already spin around while swinging her [Nodachi] at me before I could do anything. But, that didn't stop me as I tried to disarm her by using the unnamed [Technique] from the [Specialize Aikido Mixed Style] to curves my arm like a snake and have the choice to throw my opponent after I get my hands on them.

However, Shigure faced this [Technique] years ago and easily avoided losing her weapon to her opponent. In a blur of pure speed, Shigure appears behind her opponent and attack with a swift [Sword Strike] to the back of their legs.

Instead of using the [Wind Step]; a [Movement Technique] belongs to the [Specialize Aikido Mixed Style], where the user moves their body fast enough that it look like the user's body splits apart and turns into the wind.

I use the more powerful version of [Wind Step], the [Thunder Step], that makes the user's body look like lightning instead of wind and is a lot faster. Furthermore, thanks to having a stronger body and not limited to the effect of the [Limiter Seal] back when I still had the [Persona System]. I'm no longer restricted and can use the full power of the [Specialize Aikido Mixed Style], that I merged into the [Ancient Martial Arts: Ogata Style]. Furthermore, I even merged another [Movement Techniques] I grab from another [Soul Fragment], which also gave me the [Outer Body Training Method].

I disappear from Shigure's attack and affect her mind and willpower as well, along with the people on the sideline, where everyone can see me being in multiple places at once.

I've merged the [Walking Techniques] from the same series where I got the [Outer Body Training Method] from, and I must say, trying it out on everyone show a great result, that I could affect people's mind and willpower, even if it's limited.

In reality, I was actually using a bit of [Soul Energy] to spread out a thin layer across the entire area, which affects everyone's mind and willpower. At first, I didn't know how to use the [Hwan], the [Secret Technique] belong to the [Walking Techniques] until I reach near the end, that provide a small theory of how to use it, to affect more than one opponent, which helped me perform the [Hwan] after years in the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought]. In fact, this helps me lay down a small foundation for me to learn [Illusion Skills] later on, as I can affect people's minds already. Through reading minds and now manipulating it some degree.

However, this still wasn't enough to counter Shigure too long, as she literally has enough time to raise her [Detection Skills] further than possible in the mortal realm. To not waste any more time, I use [Time-Skip] again and attack while Shigure took the time to find which one is the real me under the effect of [Hwan], but all of them all are fake.

Attacking Shigure with a series of rapid and powerful palm strikes, which caught Shigure off guard for a second when I managed to land a hit on her, but quickly readjusted her stance and started blocking all my palm strikes by returning her own fast [Sword Strikes], to force me to stop or end up injuring myself from fighting barehanded while facing a weapon user.

Too bad for Shigure, I just use [Structural Grasp] to scan myself, then use [Alteration] to give my arms, including the clothes and gloves, the ability to withstand bladed weapon while using [Reinforcement] to increase the effect.

I even go as far as using the [Seikuken] to counter Shigure's rapid [Sword Strikes] that went beyond my own based body's speed without using any of my [Skills]/[Magecraft] to buff it. Furthermore, I could tell Shigure still haven't used [Aura Enhance] to increase her speed, showing me that Shigure didn't just improve her [Weapon Skills], but also her own body to be more powerful without having to rely on [Aura] the entire time, due to how limited she will be from a long-term battle.

Mentally, I curse the [Type-Moon System] for not having a feature that refills up my [Energy Reserve] back up to the peak like the [Persona System], but the [Type-Moon System] took this as an actual question for it and replied. Where the [Persona System] only has to work with one [Energy Source] before, but now I have multiple [Energy Sources], making it difficult for it to refill it back up, as it always changing and increasing before it could get a good read on. In fact, the [Type-Moon System] informed me that due the 'contracts' from Hilda and Baby Beel, this feature would no longer be possible due to the other people's [Energy Sources] linked to mine now.

Once more, I find more downside of having Hilda and Baby Beel forming a link with my own [Energy Sources]. Nonetheless, this didn't stop me at all. Hell, I was already fine without it in the first place and already got used to having a limited [Energy Reserves].

I mentally sighed in relief, that I can 'read' what the [Type-Moon System] say to me while taking on Shigure at the same time. I've already developed to the point of fighting on instinct and planning ahead at the same time. Including the [Seikuken], this made it easier for me, as I continue to block Shigure's sneak attacks towards my side by blocking it with my left palm while striking with my right at the same time, forcing Shigure to retreat, but only for a split second before she comes right back in, to resume our close-range fight.

Slowly, well, slow for both Shigure and me, but fast for the others, as we started picking up the pace. I starting using [Undying Rumble Impacts] to increase the speed and power of my attacks. While Shigure uses her own methods to do the same. But, still not using [Aura Enhance].

Even without enhancing my body with [Reinforcement] and only on my clothes and gloves for extra protection. I can still make my body go pass its limit for a short period before having to stop or risk damaging myself. As I started picking up the pace of attacking with palm strikes until flashes of lightning appear on my palms and thunder accompanied every time I strike, causing sparks flying in every direction.

Soon, the sound of the wind being cut and the sound of thunder started to appear not a second longer as Shigure and I exchange countless attacks with each other.

Neither advance nor retreat. At this point, just Shigure and I feel like it's just the two of us alone, and no one else in our little world. In our little deadly dance, where we could easily take each other's life away if one mistake was to happen. However, I won't be able to last this long by just relying on my body alone. So, I started using [Reinforcement] on my entire body to match Shigure, who start using [Aura Enhance] to speed up her attacks and power as well.

I quickly activate [Renkankei-kikou] to rotate my [Prana] evenly throughout my entire body without risking blowing up something important by mistake while increasing the [Prana] my body could handle at a certain amount.

Then, start using [Soul Menace] to increase the power of [Undying Rumble Impacts], causing Shigure to wince with the countless time she was shocked, and now with [Soul Menance] included, made it worst for Shigure.

I click my teeth when I start noticing how my [Soul Energy] and [Prana] reserves are being drained at an incredible rate and will soon be empty, or near as possible, in a few minutes.

Using [Time-Skip] rapidly, to increase my pace of speed and attack, to the point, Shigure is having a hard time keeping up when my attack speed increased beyond what she could handle before, where she could match the speed and increase her own speed to match me. But, with [Time-Skip], I'm literally cheating my way into increasing my own speed faster by shortening the timeframe.

But, like everything, there's always a cost for everything. The cost of increasing my speed with [Time-Skip] is using up my [Energy Reserves] a lot faster and putting a strain onto my body as well. Nonetheless, this helps me bring the battle in my favor as a result. Sadly, that's only for a short while as I had to use [Time-Skip] again, but using [Flash Air] to escape from the battlefield and appear at the edge of the barrier I created with [Rune Magecraft].

"Okay, you win." I said right away before Shigure follow up with another attack that likely to inflict a fatal injury. "Wow, I really need to work on improving my [Energy Reserves]."

I sat on the ground, with my body covered in sweat and my hair sticking to my forehead while trying to calm my fast-beating heart.

Shigure walk over to me as she sheathed her [Nodachi] on her back, then hand me a towel she took out of her [Inventory], making me feel like I should update the [Mystic Code: Zipper] or try to make those wuxia/xianxia [Storage Rings] that act like an [Inventory], but limited in space.

While the [Mystic Code: Zipper] is great and all, but there are just too many limitations placed on it. Who knows what would happen in the future if I don't have an [Inventory].

Back as Enma Nikos, it was thanks to having an [Inventory] that saved my life more than once, and that's just because I store lots of food alone that helped me survive.

"I'm guessing your [System] doesn't provide you a feature to refill up your [Energy Reserves] back to 100%?" Shigure asks me, hinting to the other that Shigure could do what I can't do with her [Persona System] unlike my [Type-Moon System].

"Nope. But, my [Energy Reserves] are still increasing and haven't stopped growing, and this spar of our just made it increase the speed for a brief moment by a few weeks, maybe a month's worth of time if I'm lucky." I replied to Shigure's question, as I dismiss the barrier before I stand up and walk over to the other, with Shigure walking next to me.

"You know, I find myself wanting to train more on my speed after watching all that." Yoruichi comment about how the spar she just watched along with everyone else affected her and wanting to train on her speed more if she may end up facing enemies that specialize in speed.

"I'm with you, but more in casting my [Devil Magic] to the point I can cast multiple [Magic] at the same time and instantly." Serafall agreed with Yoruichi on training speed, but not towards physical speed and more on her [Devil Magic]'s casting and activation speed.

Asia quickly rushes over to me and started healing me with her [Sacred Gear] and looks at me with a worried look, afraid that she couldn't heal me fast enough.

"Thanks, Asia. It must be tiring for you to keep on healing me." I rub the top of Asia's head, causing her to smile at me.

"It's okay, father. I love to be able to help out." Asia said in a happy tone, while she continues to heal my internal wounds I end up inflicting onto myself.

Artoria walks up to me, staring right at me in the eyes, then flick my forehead, sending me her thoughts about what she wanted to say to me. Making me wince a little, as Seira no longer block Artoria from sending her thoughts to me.

"Yeah, I got it." I said to Artoria, who nods at me and help Asia by using her own method to speed up the healing process until I'm fully healed and no hidden injuries left behind.

What Artoria 'told' me just now was that she wanted me to help taking care of Baby Beel and not just focus on training with Shigure here. After all, Artoria explained her experience with her 'son' and didn't want me to make the same mistake as her. Which I agreed to do anyway, but will push most of my training under the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] with [Outer Body Training Method] instead of physical training outside my [Soul].

"Master. I must say, having you as the young master's adoptive father is a great thing." Hilda walks up to me while carrying Baby Beel, who making baby noise in excitement about how strong I am; well, that's what I'm getting.

"Thanks." I have no clue if this is a great thing in the first place of having to raise the son of the [Great Demon Lord], but I get to speed up my body to be turned into an [Archdemon] and other benefits, I guess it's okay.

"You know, I expected lots of things. I expected to find my new servants to be somewhat decent, maybe better. I didn't expect to watch a short fight that blows my mind of all the battles I have seen with my own eyes. And I have seen a lot." Hime said to me, not bother to get up from her seat, while she calmly spoke out her thoughts. "But, what I just saw made me believe even more about what we talk about last night." Hime said to me, and the rest of my group, other than Hilda and Baby Beel, as those two are native to this dimension.

"Talk with them." I quickly remind Hime that I'm not the best to speak about the proposal she came up with.

Hime rolls her eyes at me, but did so nonetheless.

After getting healed up by Artoria and Asia, they walked up to Shigure next; however, Shigure decline as she explained how her [Aura] will heal her in no time, making me feel a little sad I don't have [Aura]. And by that, I meant the same [Aura] belong to the RWBY universe, which I no longer possess the same features. Of course, I could use something the same under the name of [Aura], but won't be the same as RWBY's [Aura].

A few hours later*

So far, Hime and the others, mostly Artoria and Serafall than the rest of us, are talking about a deal for both sides. Even if we're already Hime's servants, but we can still quit whenever and just leave her, which is why Hime provides some benefits to keep our services besides the money and the paperwork to give us citizenship.

If this was back in my universe, as in my life before Enma Nikos, this would have would take a long time, but here. Hime and Hilda only required a single day to get everything done.

Another benefit I overheard while I was looking through the [Skillls] to purchase from the [Type-Moon System]. Is that Hime willing to offer a few favors within her powers to give us after an entire year in her service before we could use those favors.

I already got one in mind, for Asia's benefit in the future. After all, out of our little group. Asia is the only that's mortal and have a short lifespan compared to the rest of us.

However, what I didn't expect was that Hime requested that after a year, that we've to bring her and Flandre along with us when we leave this dimension. As this is the best chance for her to escape her fate of being forced into the tournament for the throne. Lucky, for Hime, the others agreed to this request, much to my confusion on why the girls agreed, so quickly for this, but I may as well take her and the little maid along.

So far, I have picked a few [Skills] to grab, but I haven't picked any new [Magecraft] to work on next. As I still got plenty enough with the current ones I have at the moment. Sadly, I only have enough [System Points] to max out two [Skills], straight to [Rank: Grandmaster] or grab more than two [Skills], but without raising it to [Rank: Grandmaster], even under [Rank: Master] if I want more [Skills].

So I can go either in quality and/or quantity. But, decide to go with quality instead. And the two [Skills] I got will help me on the long-term, like a lot.

[Battle Continuation]:

Description: This allows the user to continue to fight after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce the mortality rate of injury. This [Skill] represents the ability to survive and/or the mentality of one who doesn't know when to give up, consisting of one's strength of vitality in predicaments. The best result is achieved when a resilient body is combined with this [Skill].

Type: Passive

Target: Self

Rank: Grandmaster

Cost: None

[Reduced Earth]:

Description: This is a [Technique] to cut down the distance between opponents instantly. Many [Martial Arts Masters] has pursued the extremity of [Step Movement] in [Martial Arts]. Rather than a simple quickness, there are numerous phenomena that are connected with each other and are completed with walking, body movement, breathing, blind spots, etc. The highest grade beyond [A-Rank] becomes a [Long Dimension Leap Technique] and it would be in the category of [Sage Techniques].

Type: Passive

Target: Self

Rank: Grandmaster

Cost: Varies

The former will help me fight even when I'm out of [Soul Energy] and/or [Prana] until the enemies are killed or damaged enough to allow others to finish them for me.

While the latter, of course, would be technically useless due to having the [Flash Air], but I still require taking a step or two in order to enter my own portal created by the [Flash Air], which is why this [Skill] will be very useful against very powerful enemies that specialize in speed and could easily bypass [Time-Skip] and stop me from escaping via [Flash Air]. Not to mention, that with this [Reduced Earth] together with my other [Movement Techniques]. I'll have a bigger advantage compared to others.

Thankfully, I still have enough [System Points] to feed Artoria or I may have to waste my free time to create more [Mystic Code] to gain more [System Points] again.

Lucky, for me, at [Rank: Grandmaster] for [Reduced Earth]. I turn it into a [Sage Technique] at the get-go. Giving me the ability to literally do a [Long Dimension Leap] without using the [Second Magic]. However, I can already tell that this is mostly just like [Flash Air] and only work in the current dimension I'm in.

Furthermore, it's similar to [Teleportation] that I used to be able to do when I had [Accelerator]. Pretty sure, Shigure had used that [Persona] many times during those years while she has the [Persona System].

After getting these two new [Skills], I went straight into my [Soul] and use [Outer Body Training Method] right away, but remember how one of them can't really be trained due to my [Energy Reserves] will be drained instead. So, the [Battle Continuation] can only be used in a real-life battle. As for the [Reduced Earth], I didn't need that much time to use it whenever I want, even by just simply walking would work for me. In fact, I have already merged it into my other [Movement Techniques], but only the version that's not the [Sage Technique] version.

Exiting my [Soul]; I was greeted with only Shigure, Hilda, Asia, and Baby Beel by my side while I was 'meditating' on my new [Skillls]. With Asia playing with Baby Beel and Hilda making sure to watch over the two. Shigure continues to watch Asia and Baby Beel playing with each other, where I could tell by her face, that Shigure going through a memory of hers.

'If I were to guess, it would be Shigure thinking about our Daughter, and grandchildren, which I never met.' I thought with a hint of sadness. Then, something distracted me from this. 'I feel like today was to be something important, or something important for Hime, but I can't seem to remember it clearly.' So, I went back inside my [Soul] to find out and finally realize today is when the Invisible Man comes here to assassinate Hime.

Once more, I find myself wondering why my group was sent to this dimension, where all of us, besides Asia, are way too powerful for all the beings in this dimension.

Using [Ecological Derivation System] to scan the entire area around the Mansion, and found there is an unknown person trying to get inside through the gate, which we really need to find a way to lock the gate somehow. Because it seems unlocked almost all the time.

Pausing for a moment, 'I take that back, the gates to this place are always unlocked and I can't even remember one time it was ever locked or wasn't destroyed right away.'

I allow the deadpan expression to stay on my face when I 'watch' the Invisible Man quietly walking around and towards inside, seeing how the others are inside the Mansion, leaving Shigure, Hilda, Asia, Baby Beel, and I outside. While they continue to talk about business.

Shigure has already noticed the unknown intruder and just picking the right moment to attack. A minute or two later, where the Invisible Man was just halfway to his goal, Shigure throws a few [Kunais] with a flick of her wrist and under a second, where it looks like she didn't throw anything. The cry of pain from the Invisible Man was heard throughout the entire area, where even those inside the Mansion would hear the loud scream.

This caused everyone in the Mansion to come outside to see who screaming and found Shigure's [Kunais] floating in mid-air while moving a little, and also, where they can hear the screaming coming from.

"Oh? So one of my siblings sends an Invisible Man after me already." Hime thought out loud, letting everyone know what's going on and why it looks like someone levitating the [Kunais], but actually, someone that Shigure dealt with.

"Anyone wants to interrogate the guy or should I kill him now?" I ask everyone, as I raise my right hand towards the Invisible Man in a snapping position, ready to use my [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] to deal the finishing blow.

When no one said anything, I snap my fingers, setting the Invisible Man on fire, and luckily everyone else is far away from the [Invisible Man], to not get burnt, but they can feel the heat coming from the flame before disappearing after a few seconds later. Leaving ashes and burn marks in the shape of a human burned to their death behind as the only evidence that the Invisible Man was there a few seconds ago.

"Just a quick question. Are you a Phoenix?" Hime asks me, with Hilda looking at me in curious if I am.

"Nope. Just [Alchemy]." I grin at Hime, causing her to raise an eyebrow, but didn't ask anything else. In fact, she looks like she planning to ask others instead of asking me directly.

Hilda looks at me with a confused look, then look back at the ashes of the Invisible Man, and then back at me. With a look that shows Hilda, wondering if I really used [Alchemy] to produce that fire, which burns the Invisible Man to ashes in a matter of seconds.

Letting out a tired sigh, I decided to explain to everyone about my [Magecraft: Alchemy] and mentioning the [Soul Transmutation Circle] as well. So for the entire day, I explain and answer any questions the girls may ask until it was time for dinner, where I continue as everyone was interested in my version of [Alchemy].

When it was time for everyone to sleep, I had to place the [Rune Spells] back up again, as it will be mostly a sleepless night and more of a nap for me, again.

The next day*

Month: 6 | Week: 4 | Day 5: The Little Sister's Arrival

(Hime's Mansion: Dining Room)

After explaining to everyone about my version of [Alchemy] yesterday. I resumed working on it. By making another new [Soul Transmutation Circle], which I should have made early on, but I didn't think about it early on.

So I created the [Combat Alchemy Transmutation Circle], that combines other types from the Fullmetal Alchemist series. Where I picked [Earth Alchemy] and [Water Alchemy] for [Combat Alchemy]. The former being the [Alchemy] belong to Alex Louis Armstrong and the latter belongs to Isaac McDougal. It wasn't really that hard to master those two [Elemental Alchemy] in my opinion, thanks to [Outer Body Training Method]. Save me lots of time outside my [Soul]. Plus, it would save me the trouble of having to wait to heal my body back to peak condition, over and over again.

Now, I can continue to use my [Alchemy] in combat without leading to friendly fire. Luckily, that hasn't occurred yet, and I hope it doesn't later on.

Currently, Artoria, Hilda, Asia, Baby Beel, and I are hanging out with Hime, while Flandre went off to somewhere for some unknown reasons, leaving Hime alone unprotected, which lead to the reason why we're here with Hime.

"By the way, Hime." I call for Hime's attention and kind of gaining the others as well. "Are you planning to gather more [Blood Warriors] later on?"

Hime looks at me with a dull look, then takes a sip of her tea.

"No. Not if I can help it. After experiencing having so many [Blood Warriors] in the past. I rather not have to deal with having to give out my blood to them daily. Trust me, it's a common mistake for some of my family members to turn many beings into our servants, either as a [Blood Warrior] or a [Flame Warrior]. Where in most cases, we would end up dead from giving out too much, even with our inborn regeneration as a Phoenix." Hime explained to me how she made this mistake while she was little and thought too highly of herself back then, and rather not have it happen again. "Of course, I'm not against it. Better have a good amount of servants to help me out and limited to a certain number that's bearable for me." Hime continues off about how she would like to have more servants, as in [Blood Warriors] and not [Flame Warriors] as she hasn't reached the point of making one yet.

"Nope." I said to Hime, causing her eyebrow to twitch at my response as if I was listening to her request to turn myself into her [Blood Warrior].

"I wasn't asking you. Even then, I would be surprised if someone could kill you and leave your body intact for me to resurrection you." Hime know the chance of turning one of the people among her new servants is close to zero, in fact, she can only think of one person the group that would become her [Blood Warrior], maybe [Flame Warrior] later on. But, for now, she won't have any chance of gaining any new [Blood Warrior].

Before anyone could say anything else, Flandre return and with a dead cat in her hands.

Flandre walking up to her master, then present the dead cat before Hime.

"Why are you bringing me this dead cat, Flandre?" Hime is a little confused about why her little maid would bring her such a thing.

"Fuga." Flandre said to Hime, where everyone has no clue what she is saying, but Hime clearly understands her from the look of it.

In a way, Baby Beel could make baby noises and Hilda and I could understand him, somewhat.

"You want me to resurrect it with my blood and make it a vassal?" Hime started to get a little annoyed now. Who can blame her? Having a normal cat as a [Blood Warrior] would make things laughable. If it was some kind of special cat, that's abnormal, to the point of being a Yokai or something, then it be fine, but no normal average cats should be turn into a [Blood Warrior].

"Fuga." Flandre nods her head, not noticing her master's build up rage. Her response was just the last straw to cause Hime's rage to burst.

"Don't be stupid! Just because its a corpse, doesn't mean I want it!" Hime shout at her maid with frustration in her voice, "Go bury that in the Backyard!" Hime point in the direction where the Backyard is.

"Fuga!" Flandre quickly rushes off to the Backyard to bury the dead cat she found somewhere.

"Sheesh." Hime shook her head, rubbing her forehead as if she had a headache right now, which made Asia walk over and asked her if she requires healing. "It's fine." Hime rejected Asia's kind offer in getting rid of the small headache she got from Flandre, but it wasn't something that much of a problem and will go away on its own later.

Asia shyly nods her head, then quickly went back to play with Baby Beel, who looks like he about to cry from the lack of attention from his big sister.

I roll my eyes at Hime, but didn't say anything. 'Time like this, I should continue to work on my [Skills] and [Magecraft] while I still can, but also help Hilda and Artoria raising Baby Beel before he is influenced by an unwanted person.' But, before I can do anything, Yoruichi and Serafall walk in after Flandre left; however, they had someone with them, and it happens to be Riza Wildman, the little sister of the Werewolf that Yoruichi and Serafall took care of two days ago, the same day we were hired.

Also, Riza is bound with a rope, which wasn't an actual rope, but a rope shape made out of ice. Showing that Serafall was the one that captures Riza.

"Why did you bring her here?" Hime looks at Riza, then look at Yoruichi and Serafall with a confused look.

"Found her trying to ramp her Motorcycle into this place, but we stop her before she could and decide to bring her here to see if you want her as your servant." Serafall replied to Hime's question, causing Riza to pale at the thoughts of becoming a [Blood Warrior].

"Like I would become a servant to my brother's killer! I'm Riza Wildman! And I've come to avenge my brother for being betrayed and killed by you, his master!" Riza roar as she tries to break free from the rope made out of ice, but sadly, these weren't ordinary ice.

Serafall supercharges it with her own [Demonic Energy] to make them stronger than steel. So, Riza wasn't able to break free at all and just continue to throw threats at Hime, who she is mainly focused on than everyone else.

"Wildman? You're his sister?" Hime just remembers seeing the corpse of her former servant two days ago, where both Yoruichi and Serafall took care of a group of wolves, with a Werewolf leading them and she saw the corpse of the aftermath out of curiosity.

"I remember now. He did mention about his little sister before. Half Werewolf and half-human. His only family. That's you?" Hime walks over to Riza and gets a good look at her former servant's half-sister.

"That's right! Answer me! What dirty trick did you use to kill him?!" Riza tries to bite Hime, but failed to, when Serafall kicks her back and kept her foot on Riza's back, preventing her from moving.

"You do realize your brother's killers are the ones that captured you." Hime pointed this out, not bother to hide this fact to Riza, causing the poor girl to freeze for a moment before shouting at the time of her lungs as she tries to break free and fight to the death with Yoruichi and Serafall.

"Seriously. Is this going to be an everyday thing with you, Hime?" I ask Hime, but I know this already and wasn't bother about it at all. Since I and the others can handle these Monsters easily. Don't know about the Demons, but who knows.

"As long as my siblings and I are still alive. Yes. Now, where was I?" Hime looks down at Riza, then starts explaining how she disgraced her brother's honor for doing this. As before Yoruichi and Serafall finished Riza's older brother off, along with his pack of wolves. He revealed the reason for this action of his, which in return, Yoruichi told Hime about this. And now Hime explaining this to Riza currently.

After Riza listens to all this, she went quiet, lost in her own thoughts.

But, neither Yoruichi or Serafall let their guards down around Riza. After all, she is still considered as an enemy of a sort, no matter how defenseless they may look. Just one chance is all they need to deal a fatal blow.

"Let her go. We don't need to worry about her now." Hime orders both Yoruichi and Serafall to release Riza and send her away.

Serafall frowns a little, but did as she was ordered to, even when she doesn't like to be ordered around by Hime. So, with a snap of her fingers, the ice rope turned into water, wetting Riza and the ground a little.

Then Yoruichi grabs Riza by the back of her collars and drags the half Werewolf, half-human, back to where her Motorcycle is and just hope she doesn't do something stupid that lead to her death.

"I feel like this place wasn't the best idea to live if you're planning to stay out of the tournament, Hime." I'm a little curious why Hime would stay in this place if she wasn't aiming for the throne in the first place.

"Well, if you want the honest truth." Hime walks over back to her seat and sat down before continuing, "I came here in the hope my siblings would leave me alone, but it looks like I was wrong. However, I do have my pride and won't leave this place unless I need to. Otherwise, I would gladly move to another place."

"Alright then." I don't know if this was a good thing or not, but left it alone for now. Seeing how these assassination attempts continue to fail by my group so far. May as well continue, to allow us to work under Hime until it's time for us to leave.

So for the rest of the day, it went normal as nothing out of the ordinary happen besides Riza's unexpected arrival, for everyone else but me that is. As I knew today or at least tomorrow Riza would arrive due to her half older brother's death. Even without Hiro, the main character of Princess Resurrection was the causes of leading Riza towards Hime's location.

The next day*

Month: 6 | Week: 4 | Day 6: I'm Not Surprise

(Hime's Mansion: Frontyard)

"You know, I feel like something wrong with this picture." I thought out loud, and I have a good reason to speak my thoughts when I should keep them to myself instead of letting everyone know about them.

"You aren't using any weapons?" Shigure asks me, wondering why I haven't used any weapons in today's sparrings, as it's better for everyone to spar with each other daily to not get rusty, and Shigure hasn't seen me using any weapons so far.

"What? No." I look at Shigure with a confused look, then look back at Riza trying to land a hit on Yoruichi, as both of them are having a sparring match. With Riza being toy around by Yoruichi like nothing. Much to Riza's frustration. "Well, that too, but not what I meant. I mean, why is Yoruichi training Riza, whose brother she killed. Kind of weird in my opinion." I explain what made me think this feels a little weird or awkward. As Yoruichi helping Riza out in her [Fighting Skills], not out of guilt, but out of little respect from what Yoruichi told me before she helps Riza out first thing in the morning.

"If you need a weapon. All you need is to ask me to give you something. I have collected countless of them. Be it [Mecha-Shift Weapons] or [Fusion Weapons], even classic weapons." Shigure clearly wanted me to use more weapons as a way to bond with each other more than just spending time with each other, or working on some kind of medicine.

Yeah, having [Alchemy] kind of made me be able to make lots of different medications and easier to do compared to back then. But, there are some that I can't make due to lack of the [Skill] or my [Alchemy] would make it into something else as a failed product in the end.

"It's okay. I can just buy the one from my [Type-Moon System]. Way more powerful compared to the ones in our universe." Which is kind of true and false at the same time, as some of the weapons belong to the [Type-Moon System] are [Noble Phantasm] to regulars Earth's modern weapons. But, those [Noble Phantasms] are just too pricey. Plus, the weapons Shigure may give me will end up broken due to using [Endless Blade Slaughter]; well, if she gives me a bladed weapon.

So for now, I just have to deal with using [Projection: Weapons] until I get enough [System Points] to purchase one of the bladed types [Noble Phantasm].

"Oh..." Shigure glances down in sadness, as her own husband doesn't want to use the collection of weapons she gained over the years while being apart from each other.

Seeing this, I let out a sigh, figuring that Shigure of all people would feel sad, because I didn't want to use any weapons she collected over the years.

"Nevermind. I don't know when I will get my hands on one. So, just give me any [Sword] type weapons. I would ask for a [Combat Knife], but I know for sure they will end up broken in my hands if I were to use them." I said to Shigure, who look at me with a happy expression.

As I wait for Shigure to pick out a weapon for me to use. I look around to see if anything interesting.

I look at Asia, who's ready to read a book Hilda gave her, which seem like it belongs to the [Demon World] and not meant to be read by a human. Which Artoria took out of Asia's hands before she could read it and hit Hilda's head with the said book for making Asia read such a thing.

Watching Hilda rubbing her sore head as she tries not to glare at Artoria, as she is afraid of the Goddess, again, others that didn't know was shocked to find out Artoria is a Goddess, who is not affected by the laws of the universe.

Then, I look where Serafall and Hime are talking to each other about complex things that would make my head hurt. Really wished that I have taken my studies into other than combats or anything that's related to survival subjects.

Still, I managed to bluff and sometimes intimidate the people back in the RWBY universe without any trouble. Just that I don't have the right [Skills Set] currently to reuse those approaches of mine.

Just I was about to search for anything that may catch my eyes when Shigure present me a weapon to use by putting it in front of me, blocking my views of anything else.

"Why do I feel like I saw this weapon from somewhere before?" I use [Structrual Grasp] on the weapon to find out where it came from and see if there anything out of the ordinary. Besides the fact that it is a [Mecha-Shift Weapon].

[Item Type]: [Mecha-Shift Weapon]/[Enhanced Weapon]

[Name]: Harbinger

Durability: 100%/100%

Quality: Epic

Value: N/A

Description: [Harbinger] is able to take on four forms. The first form shown is a single-edged [Greatsword] with a clockwork mechanism of indeterminate nature built into space above the hilt, and a pair of parallel handguards is set beneath. A pair of [Shotgun Barrels] are also situated on either side of the main blade. Also, has been enhanced with special [Magical Symbols] to make the weapon itself unbreakable and possess infinite [Gravity Shotgun Bullets], but at the cost of never being able to change the type of [Bullets].

I sweatdrop when I realized who this [Mecha-Shift Weapon] belong to and wonder if Shigure killed Qrow to get her hands on this weapon. Hell, I wonder if Shigure killed Raven too, to get her weapon as well.

Not going to ask, but I got the feeling Shigure took in the pleasure of killing Raven. Just to get her hands on Raven's [Semblance] for her own usage after turning Raven into a [Persona]. Knowing Shigure, I'm very certain that she did.

"Do I even wish to know how you got your hands on this, and why are you picking this out of everything else you have for me to use?" I ask Shigure, but didn't reject it as I grab the hilt from Shigure and notice how light it is.

Then again, with my current state of the body, it would be laughable if I couldn't lift a mortal weapon, even if it's a [Mecha-Shift Weapon].

Right now the [Harbinger] is in the [4th Form: Inactive], where the top half of the blade retracts into its base, forming a more compact portable mode. Of course, I can shift the form into the other three forms from the hilt. Thanks to the [Structural Grasp] giving me the information on how to shift the forms of the weapon.

"Well, let just say a few people rather have their weapons for future usage and I took them. Just leave it at that. As for why I give you this one; well, isn't Seira's [Demon Weapon Form] a [Scythe]? So, you may as well get some practice out early." Shigure answered my question while not going into detail for the first part; however, she is willing to answer the second part.

"I see." I'm a little curious if this weapon can handle, under the stress of using the [Endless Blade Slaughter] and on fire, mostly the fire part. As the fire is very hot and will melt the weapon in a matter of seconds, maybe even less than a second.

"I guess I'll use this for now." I try to figure out how to carry it while not in use. Using Qrow's method while it is [Inactive Form] would be impossible for me. As I don't have the belt that goes with it. And it looks like Shigure didn't grab it either. Not that I can blame her when she possesses her [Semblance] that act like an [Inventory] for weapons only and the [Persona System]'s [Inventory].

Frowning at this little problem of mine, I just use [Projection] to create the belt. There, problem solves without taking too much effort into solving it.

Wearing the belt, then attach it on the back of my waist. Now, I have a weapon, for me to use without having to use [Projection] to continue creating one. Of course, I'll continue doing so. Rather be safe than sorry if I were to break it, even with Shigure making it unbreakable. Doesn't mean it unbreakable towards a certain cause.

As there are multiple different levels of unbreakable, where things can actually destroy the unbreakable things or it just another fancy word for strong durable weapons that make it seem like it's unbreakable.

"Thanks." I look at Shigure, who gives me a small smile, to show she happy that I use one of her collections of weapons, even if they used to have owners before she got her hands on them. But, that didn't stop Shigure at all.

"By the way, why did she return back here?" I ask Shigure as to why Riza came back after trying to kill Hime yesterday. Of course, I know the excuse of coming back for her helm, but I know that wasn't the truth.

"If I were to guess. She planning to stick around with Hime, because there is a high chance of her older brother's true killer will appear sooner or later. All she needs to do is stick with Hime." Shigure replied to my question as she starts to analyze Yoruichi's fighting style and Riza as well.

"I see." I rub my chin, then close my eyes to think about how to make Pyrrha's new body, which I wasn't getting anywhere close to starting and may end up having to purchase one from the [Type-Moon System] to study or just save up enough [System Points] to buy a [Soulless Homunculus] that allows [Soul] to possess and regain back a physical body.

Of course, I could just use this option, but the chance of Pyrrha's [Soul] being damage once the [Soulless Homunculus] expire or anything cause it to be destroyed would affect Pyrrha. No clue if this would actually happen, but there is still a chance of that happening. So, I'm a little paranoid about picking this option.

But, I could purchase the one that very pricey and just hope for the best. Or, I could just buy one and study it until I can make my own. This is another option I could do, but it will take me a long time, like years. However, I rather not let Pyrrha continue to experience her current life within Shigure's [Sea of Soul] longer than she should.

Thinking about this, I decided I may as well save up [System Points] to purchase the best available [Soulless Homunculus] I can get from the [Type-Moon System], which cost me 10mil [System Points].

I was about to go into deep thoughts about the best way to earn 10 million [System Points] at the shortest time. When I remember how Hime and the others should have gone to the Beach, where Hime own a Summer Resort today.

Then again, I have no clue if this is the anime or manga version, for either the Princess Resurrection and Beelzebub at this point. I'm leaning towards a mix of both.

I'm just going to ignore most of it as the girls can easily handle all of the Monsters, no clue about the Demons, but the Monsters shouldn't be any problem while I focus on grinding those 10 million [System Points] for Pyrrha.

A month later*

Month: 7 | Week: 4 | Day 6: Whoopsie?

(Hime's Mansion: Basement)

Strangely enough. I honestly thought there would be lots of bloodbaths will occur with all the Monsters targeting Hime's life. But, so far, it has been peaceful for an entire month. One of the big things that happen during this month, where I've gained my [Archdemon's Body] 3 days ago and Seira just finished merging the aspect of Death into her [Death Scythe] yesterday. We've already tested it out in my [Soul] instead of testing it outside my [Soul]. Who knows what would happen.

Nonetheless, we only scratch the surface of what Seira's [Death Scythe] could do.

On another note, thanks to having my body as an [Archdemon] now. I can use [Endless Blade Slaughter] and [Undying Rumble Impacts] by producing the fire and lightning, causing thunder, and what not without using [Reinforcement] and [Renkankei-kikou] as a support for an hour.

Well, an hour for now as my body still continues to grow for some reasons. Nonetheless, this is great as I can use those two [Skills] without having to use up my [Soul Energy] or [Prana]. Well, my stamina will be used instead, but my stamina is already abnormal in the beginning before it turns into an [Archdemon]. Now, it seems like I can continue on for days or maybe months in fighting without rest. As long as I don't use either [Endless Blade Slaughter] and/or [Undying Rumble Impacts].

So now, Seira is outside my [Soul] and getting along with everyone else; well, getting too well with Shigure and Artoria for some reason. But, at least, Seira is getting along with everyone somewhat. Also, both Seira and I discovered we can speak with each other through our minds without having to be near each other. We haven't figured out the maximum distance yet. However, we did find a downside to having Seira staying outside my [Soul]. One: Seira can't access my [Soul]'s [Soul Fragments] to study and can't use [Outer Body Training Method] and [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] either. As she requires to be in my [Soul] to have access to these three.

So whenever Seira requires using either of these three [Skills], she needs to return back to my [Soul] in order to regain access to use them.

On a side note. I'm halfway towards my goal of 10 million [System Points] and managed to reach 5 million [System Points] after I created 4 [Mystic Code: Zipper] at [Epic Quality], that can be sold for 1 million [System Points]. However, my luck wasn't so good. As I managed to make only 4 in this entire month while the rest are under [Epic Quality].

After thinking about it for a while, I purchase the [Magecraft: Memory Partition] and raise it to [Rank: Grandmaster] right away, which cost me 211k [System Points]. Which is worth it, as it goes well with [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought].

[Memory Partition]:

Description: Is the ability to partition the user's thoughts to form multiple independent thought processes. While normal people can only have a single "room" in their brain and focus on one thought, partitioning adds partitions to the one room to create multiple rooms.

Type: Active

Target: Self

Rank: Grandmaster

Cost: Varies

It did cause me headaches, multiple times while using it for too long, though. Nonetheless, it helped me improve the quality of the [Mystic Code: Zipper] to [Uncommon Quality] with a 100% success rate now, with a small chance for [Epic Quality]. I really should have got this early on instead of now. Nonetheless, if I get a lucky chance to make the [Mystic Code: Zipper] at [Epic Quality] or above. I should be able to gather enough [System Points] next month.

As for working on using the [Harbinger]; well, I'm a little busy working on grinding for the 10 million [System Points], raising Baby Beel, and having to deal with the girls' sex drive. Now, that Seira and even Hilda is included each night, with the former having her first taste last night. Now, Seira can't get enough of it. So, I got to deal with Shigure, Artoria, and Seira now. None of the three willing to stop until one is satisfied or the sun has raised and knows when to stop. My poor hips would have broke if it wasn't for my body being an [Archdemon] now.

However, I did manage to recreate the [Harbinger] through [Projection]. But, I made sure not to include the experience of using it or else it may end up messing up with my fighting style.

On the bright side, I can literally dual wield two [Harbinger] and use them, together with [Endless Blade Slaughter] and not to have to worry about losing the original one.

I did, however, use [Alteration] to switch out the [Gravity Bullet] for something else. Which cost me more [Prana] though, still worth it.

However, I still didn't get the chance to try out dual-wielding two [Harbinger] yet, as I continue to grind for those [System Points].

Knowing Pyrrha, I may end up getting the hug of death, even with an [Archdemon Body]. I won't dismiss the thought of Pyrrha figuring out a way to make her hug still hurt me.

For now, I'm starting to think that maybe in this universe, the Princess Resurrection next Monsters won't show up anytime soon as long we stay here. But, then again, the previous ones continue to show up. So, I continue to rush into making more [Mystic Code: Zipper] to the point Hilda or Artoria would bring the food to me while I continue buying the material for the [Mystic Code], then reselling the finish products back to the [Type-Moon System].

Currently, I just sold another [Mystic Code: Zipper] and using [Memory Partition] to help me figure out how to improve the quality without having to rely on luck, as it looks like my luck is shitty for the entire month.

Before I start working on the next one, the ground started to shake and weird tentacles of some unknown creature, burst from everywhere. From the ceiling, the walls, even the ground. If I wasn't in the basement. The floor would have crumbled away.

I slam my right fist on the ground and use [Alchemy: DNA Manipulation] and [Alteration], to destroy the Monster if I were to guess as I implant an unknown virus, that aim to turn the Monster into ashes in a matter of seconds as I continue to pour my [Prana] to overpower the Monster from destroying the Mansion further.

Baby Beel seeing this, started laughing in joy at seeing me kill the Monster like nothing, even Hilda blushing at this and try to look anywhere but in my direction, after she watched me dealt with the problem so quickly.

"Um, father." Asia asks me, as she hands her little brother to Hilda. "Should we head back upstairs?"

I glance at Asia, who looks a bit scared right now and rather not stay in the basement, where the ceiling may fall on us. However, I already use [Alchemy] and [Alteration] together to fix the ceiling before it does.

"May as well." I get up from the ground and continue to use [Alteration] along with [Alchemy] to create a pathway to the outside from the room we're in.

(Hime's Mansion: Frontyard)

Once we came out from the basement. I notice Yoruichi is standing next to Hime, protecting her from any harm. While Serafall standing behind two people, where I know their identities right away.

Hime's 9-year-old little sister, the third royal princess and the youngest in the Royal Family. Sherwood. Along with her personal maid that's also an [Android], Francisca.

And it looks like Sherwood tried to attack Hime or something. I was a little tired and frustrated with all the time I was grinding for the [System Points], and I'm only a little tired if I didn't have any breaks in between and spending with the girls every night, along with playing with Baby Beel while teaching a few things he needs to know.

I completely ignore what's going on and look at the Mansion, very fragile and lots of holes. I'm surprised it didn't collapse yet with the countless holes. Hell, I can tell the hill that the Mansion is on should have collapsed as well, but with [Structural Grasp]. I discovered the foundation is just a bit shook and only one step away from caving in.

I didn't say anything and just went back inside to grab our things. I did let Seira know what I'm doing, where she tells this to everyone else, where they're outside.

Well, Hilda and Baby Beel follow me inside the Mansion, even when it's dangerous. But, Hilda can easily protect herself and Baby Beel if the Mansion starts to break down on us.

So quickly, I use the [Mystic Code: Zipper] to store all our things, even some of the things in Hime's bedroom and her armory room as well, then quickly leave the place before we test our luck any further.

Unlike the manga/anime of the Princess Resurrection; I killed the Monster before it could even fix the damage it's done to the hill and the Mansion. And as a result, Hime and everyone else, along with Sherwood have to actually move to another Town.

Thanks to my action, which I'm starting to think I may have been a bit too rush into dealing with the enemies to realize what I could have done something else before the enemies' deaths would affect other things. Nonetheless, we just found a small Inn to allow us to stay late at night. I did get an earful from my harem, besides a selected few, about how I should have left them to deal with the Monster instead of just outright instant kill them.

Because we would still have a place to live in and not have to move. Hell, the Mansion could have been destroyed and it wouldn't be much of a problem as Hime could have ordered a new replacement to be built. But, with the hill's foundation being a bit too unstable made it completely impossible.

On another note, thanks to my action. Hime and Sherwood agreed to an alliance and decide to stick together for the time being as we move to a new Town or City.

Also, I didn't know that Serafall made a friend during those shopping trips to restocking up our food supply. Serafall somehow made friends with the pure-blooded Vampire of this dimension. Yup, Reiri Kamura, and upon finding out that we're moving. Pretty sure the Vampires of this dimension are weaker than the one back in the previous dimension before coming to this one.

Well, let just say Serafall is delighted that Reiri is tagging along when it was 'discovered' that she was leaving as well, for another School as her time here was coming to an end.

In my honest opinion, I know for sure Reiri was aiming for Hime and Sherwood's blood, but I didn't care at the moment as for the rest of the night, for once. No one was planning to sleep and was planning which place we're going to live in. As the current place, we're in won't be an option after today.

Leaving the fact that I have no say into this as Hime and maybe both Sherwood and Hilda have a say into what our next location would be.

I do have to deal with Riza arguing with Reiri due to the whole Vampire versus Werewolf going on. With Serafall trying to be a peacekeeper, with Yoruichi backing her up.

Leaving Shigure, Artoria, Asia, Baby Beel, and I to ourselves. As we are planning if we should enroll Asia into the School, to allow her to socialize with people her age. Even if Hilda is just a year older than Asia, who is 15.

But, Asia never went to a School before and we may as well try it. We would even send in Hilda to keep her company. Maybe Riza as well, with her age being the same as Hilda. I know for a fact that Reiri will find a way to enroll herself in the new School once we find the place we're planning to relocate.

It just I don't trust Reiri try not to drink Asia's blood without our presence nearby to watch over Asia. So yeah, mostly sending Hilda and Riza together with Asia into School.
