Chapter 87

Somewhere in the forest, Akira and his group followed Zatouji to a place where their surroundings were surrounded by clear springs.

On the surface of the clear water that shimmered with a lively brilliance, Akira and his group could feel the sacred feeling in the water.

This place is the path leading to the place where the Undine race is located, at this time everyone was walking under Zatouji's lead and heard him say to Akira:

" Young man, after arriving at our destination, then you will surely be pleased with Undine in this lake! " (Zatouji)

However, at the same time Asia's voice was heard saying:

" That... Mr. Zatouji, may I ask a question? " (Asia)

Akira and everyone turned to look at Asia and the asked Zatouji smiled, then said:

" Of course! What do you want to ask Miss? " (Zatouji)

Hearing this, Asia pointed her finger in another direction and said:

" Is the Undine you mean like the one over there? " (Asia)

After that, Akira, Zatouji, Rias, and everyone followed the direction Asia pointed, but after that Akira and his group dumbfoundedly stared at the direction Asia pointed, except for Zatouji who was laughing out loud.

Because what Akira and everyone saw was a woman, but the woman's appearance was a little strange because her whole body was covered in stout muscles even her face was also muscular.

On the other hand, Zatouji's eyes sparkled, and said happily to Akira:

" Young man, it seems that you and your group are surely very lucky, because there is a rare familiar namely the Undine Knights and it can be said that the Undine is mutated! Come on young man, quickly make a familiar contract with the Undine! Undine Knights rarely appear! " (Zatouji)

Hearing Zatouji's words, Akira's lips twitched and said:

" I'd prefer a normal one over this, but before we go into Undine's quarters, I'd like to try one thing." (Akira)

After saying that, Akira suddenly took out a Monster Ball and dripped a drop of golden-colored liquid, this liquid was the blood of the 5,000 Year Old Golden Medicinal Turtle that was within the Realm of the Violet of Jade Immortal.

After finishing, Akira suddenly disappeared from his position and suddenly appeared behind the Undine Knights, without wasting any time he quickly knocked the Undine unconscious from behind.

Akira also dropped the Monster Ball right on the Undine Knight's body, but the Monster Ball didn't respond and just rolled down into the water from Undine's body and the ball floated on the surface of the water.

Seeing this he could only raise his eyebrows, before Akira shook his head and picked up the Monster Ball floating on the surface of the water, then a notification screen appeared.

[Attention: Monster Ball cannot capture Spirit Race or Beast that have assumed Humanoid form.]

After reading it, Akira was silent for a while before saying in his heart:

' Why not just say right from the start, that this Monster Ball can't catch Beasts or Spirits that have turned into Humanoids.' (Akira)

Akira's sudden action took Zatouji and everyone by surprise, but before anyone could say anything the entire surface of the lake suddenly glowed, then a group of Undines appeared from the surface of the water there were beautiful undines, there were ordinary undines, and there were also like the undine knights before, all of the undines glared at Akira fiercely.

Zatouji quickly became irritated at Akira, then shouted and worried, then said:

" Ahhhhh... you stupid moron, what do you think you are making, brat! " (Zatouji)

" Attacking one undine carelessly is equivalent to provoking all the Undines, this time we're in trouble! " (Zatouji)

After saying that, Zatouji thought of a way to escape the encirclement of this group of undines.

Rias, Shuri, Akeno, and the others moved swiftly to Akira's side, gazing warily at the group of angry Undines around them.

Although they didn't know why Akira had to do that just a moment ago, honestly, they knew that he must have his reasons because they could saw Akira take out a strange ball.

On the other hand, Akira didn't say anything and just stared at the group of undines, before he let out [Nullification Magic Dice] which was the natural enemy of magic users.

However, just as the undines were preparing to attack Akira and the group, it was Akira who was about to throw [Nullification Magic Dice] into the sky.

The gentle voice of the spring wind resounded and said:

" All of you stop."

A group of undines stopped along with Akira and his group, then suddenly from behind the Undine group the surface of the water rose.

Unlike the other Undines, only this Undine has a slender physique, a more beautiful appearance, a long water-colored gauze that coordinates the color of the water flowing gently, a silky satin ribbon floats in the air, it seems that the goddess of water is generally holy and noble.

After that all the undines turned to face this newly appeared undine before they knelt and saluted her, then the newly arrived undines looked at Akira and the group, then said:

" I'm the Queen of Undine, devil, please stop and don't hurt my people." (Undine Queen)

His eyes lit up after seeing the Undine Queen appear, then Akira sized up the Undine Queen and said with a smile:

" Relax, we came looking for familiars, didn't want to trigger a battle at will and I just knocked one of your people out to try something." (Akira)

At the same time, the notification screen appears.

[Undine Queen's Familiar

Type: Side Mission

Description: Make the Undine Queen accept the offer to become familiar.

Rules:-]

The Undine Queen looked deeply at Akira, then the Undine Queen said:

" Young devil, I can feel the aura of strong power from you, being able to become your familiar is an honor for me and my people, therefore I will make the strongest warrior of my clan follow you." (Undine Queen)

Akira just shook his head and looked at the Undine Queen with a smile, then said:

" Undine Queen, out of all the Undines here, I'm more interested in you. So how about you just make a familiar contract with me? " (Akira)

Just as Akira finished saying that, the atmosphere became tense again and all the Undines around looked furiously at Akira.

Shuri, Akeno, Yubelluna, and Jeanne felt a good game was about to start so they just stared at Akira and the Undine Queen.

Whereas Rias and the peerage members along with the two fallen angels started to be alert at the side, only then did Zatouji standing on one side open his mouth wide because he suspected that he had heard wrong.

The Undine Queen on the other hand was silent for a while, she gave Akira a serious look before saying in a gentle tone:

" Young devil, me or my life with other undines will only follow the imperial lord, if you want to make me your familiar, then you must get my approval." (Undine Queen)

Unexpectedly, the Undine Queen was not angry and this made Akira a little surprised, so he asked:

" How do I get your approval? " (Akira)

The Undine Queen simply said in a soft voice:

" The rules are simple, you just need to follow the ancient rules which are to beat me in battle." (Undine Queen)

Just as the Undine Queen's voice fell, a notification screen appeared in front of Akira.

[Undine Queen's Challenge

Type: Side Mission

Description: Accept the ancient rules and defeat the Undine Queen.

Rules: It is forbidden to use [Nullification Magic Dice] until the battle is over.]

Akira who saw this mission screen could only be depressed and said in his heart:

' You must be kidding me, right? ' (Akira)

However, he shook his head and looked at the Undine Queen, then said:

" Sure, why not." (Akira)

Hearing this, the Undine Queen began to say in a soft voice:

" Everyone here please stay away, because a dangerous battle is imminent." (Undine Queen)

Even though the sound was soft and small, the Undine Queen's voice could echo in the forest of the lake surface without stopping and make the birds and wild animals immediately move away from there.

Shuri, Akeno, Rias, and the others had launched demon wings and blackbird wings to fly through the air, then left Akira and the Undine Queen alone on the ground without any demon beasts and other life forms around them.

Zatouji started to wipe the sweat on his forehead and couldn't help but ask:

" Princess Rias, doesn't that boy have a problem? Won't you stop him? " (Zatouji)

Before Rias could answer, Shuri first said:

" Don't worry, he knows what he wants to do and we just have to watch." (Shuri)

After that Shuri and the group started to stare at Akira and the Undine Queen, on the other hand, Zatouji could only stay silent and stare at Akira as well.

At this moment on the ground, Akira and the Undine Queen stared at each other, before the Undine Queen said in a gentle tone:

" Young devil, are you ready? I won't hold back and will immediately use my full power." (Undine Queen)

Akira smiled and both his arms turned into dragon claw arms with golden scales, then said:

" Let's begin." (Akira)

Also, nothing else to say, the Undine Queen refers to a light hand, immediately a mass of water flew to shoot away like arrows at Akira

1 hour later

Bam bam bam bam bam!!!!

Hong hong hong hong!!!!

In the forest, countless masses of water and scorching fire relentlessly collided with each other, for an hour Akira and the Undine Queen fought using their respective elements, even if they managed to hit and injure each other, both of their wounds could quickly heal because of their Race's bloodline and immediately launched another attack until one of them fell.

On the other hand, for an hour Rias, Zatouji, and Rias' peerage group along with two angels fell to stare at Akira in amazement because Akira was able to defend against the Undine Queen, but on the other hand, they also knew that the Undine Queen was still holding back a bit even though at the beginning she said will use full power.

Unlike Rias and the others, Shuri, Akeno, Jeanne, and Yubelluna frowned their brows, then Jeanne said in a small voice:

" Why doesn't master use his magic dice to finish quickly? " (Jeanne)

Shuri, Akeno, and Yubelluna were also curious, but they couldn't answer and just stared at Akira's fight.

At the same time on Akira's side, at this time he and the Undine Queen stopped attacking each other, they started staring at each other, and then Akira smiled, then said:

" Hey Undine Queen, how about we end this with one of our strongest attacks? I knew you held back even though you said you were going to be serious from the start and now I'm getting bored from taking too long." (Akira)

The Undine Queen just looked at Akira and said in a soft voice:

" Of course, if that's what you want." (Undine Queen)

Akira who heard this smiled widely, then a Boosted Gear appeared covering his left arm.

On the other hand, the Undine Queen was stunned after seeing the red glove covering Akira's left arm, it was because the Undine Queen felt that she recognized the red glove, Akira ignored the Undine Queen's stunned expression and said:

" Balance Break." (Akira)

- Boosted Gear: Scale Mail -

At this time Akira's appearance changed, his entire body was covered by red armor, with a pair of red dragon wings behind his back.

Zatouji who was in the air saw this stunned before shouting:

" That brat is the Red Dragon Emperor?! Damn it, how come I didn't notice in the first place! Now it makes sense why he dared to challenge the Undine Queen! " (Zatouji)

On the other side, the Undine Queen looking at Akira who had used Scale Mail, the Undine Queen pulled a long skirt to raise it slightly and bowed ritually, then said:

" Originally the sir Red Dragon Emperor in this day and age, please forgive me for being rude." (Undine Queen)

Akira just shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:

" Oh, does the Undine Queen want to stop fighting and accept becoming my familiar? " (Akira)

The Undine Queen shook her head and said in a gentle tone:

" Although being able to become sir Red Dragon Emperor's familiar is I and my Undine race are honored, but still this cannot be achieved and I am still following the ancient rules, if Lord Red Dragon Emperor wants to make me your familiar, then defeat me." (Undine Queen)

Akira just smiled and said:

" Well, [Hellfire Phoenix Mode]." (Akira)

After that, Akira's entire body which was covered in red armor was covered again by hot black flames, then a sound resounded from the green jade gem of the Boosted Gear.

Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!

At the same time, the Undine Queen also created a huge dragon made of water, then she ordered to attack Akira.

On the other hand, Akira just looked at the Undine Queen and said in his mind:

' [Shadow Steps] ' (Akira)

Akira then suddenly appeared in front of the Undine Queen's body instantly, Akira raised his fist and struck right above the Undine Queen's slender body.

Due to using all her energy to create a huge Dragon from the water, Queen Undine was quite exhausted and unable to dodge or merge with the surrounding water, she could only surrender to Akira's blow.

However, before his fist touched the Undine Queen's body, Akira's hand stopped a few millimeters from the Undine Queen's body.

Even so, the shock wave from the blow was still there and made the trees behind the Undine Queen disappear, fortunately, Akira managed to deflect the shock wave so it wouldn't hit the Undine Queen.

Akira lowered his hand and looked at the pale face of the Undine Queen who was exhausted from running out of magic energy, then said with a smile:

" Alright, give it up Undine Queen, I can see that you're already quite tired, so just accept being my familiar." (Akira)

The Undine Queen just stared at Akira, before looking down and muttered in a small voice:

" I can't believe that I was tricked by his words into using all my strength." (Undine Queen)

Even so, the Undine Queen knew Akira was still not serious and she remembered an object like the black dice that she saw earlier, so the Undine Queen could only sigh and knelt on one knee while bowing her head, then said:

" Undine greets Master." (Undine Queen)

On the other hand, Akira could hear the Undine Queen muttering but he just smiled without saying anything, after seeing the Undine Queen acknowledge him as master, Akira said with a smile:

" Then let's make a contract." (Akira)
