Yandere Dragon

The Seraphic System

Chapter: 07

(Yandere Dragon)

-[Tiamat Pov - Two Months Prior]-

Reclining on my hoard of glistening gold, I languidly flicked a small golden coin with my sharp claw, its shiny surface glittering as it scattered down the massive sea of gold and various magical items I had collected during my long lifetime.

I swept my gaze across the lavishly adorned chamber that housed both me and my hoard of treasure boredly, with a dejected sigh, I lay my head down for some rest as nothing of interest came to mind.

Other dragons normally loved nothing more than to laze around like the gluttonous creatures we were, but I had always been different, more active in my search for power and treasures, which made this feeling of doing nothing unbearable.

With nothing to do apart from sleep, I began to drift off again on my comfortable bed, only for my eyes to snap open as my Draconian senses mentally screeched in alarm at the sudden cataclysmic influx of energy ripping through the familiar forest.

My eyes sharpened as all my drowsiness vanished without a trace, and I got up in a flash of movement, sending gold sprawling in all directions away from me at the sudden force.

Quickly leaving my cavern of treasures, I made sure to condense my aura, so nothing would be able to detect me and with a swoosh, flapped my giant wings upwards, leaving a shockwave in my wake as I soared through the Skies at incredible speeds.

I arrived at the location that the mysterious power I had last felt was, and quickly dove into the forest and stealthily crawled to the location of the impact and saw a massive crater had formed from the collision of whatever had arrived at the familiar forest.

My enhanced Draconian eyes scanned through the crater for any sign of the powerful intruder, the aura it had unleashed was far above her own, but her dragon pride wouldn't allow this fact to dissuade her from any intruders.

After a few minutes of nothing, my eyes instantly snapped over to the centre when my enhanced hearing picked up a groan and the slow movement of an… Young boy?

No, using her mana sense, I felt a distinct holy aura weakly emanating from him. Just what was an angel doing in the underworld? And what was that powerful aura?

Scanning him, I noticed his aura couldn't compare to the one I had felt before, but I felt heat rise to my scaled cheeks when I took a good look at his handsome face.

Which only served to make me even more suspicious, instantly I conducted various check-ups on myself to see if I had been somehow put under any sort of magical influence without my knowledge, only to come back with nothing.

The boy looked to be around 14 years old and had a surprisingly toned body for someone so young, I quickly calmed down as I felt myself go into a slight daze as I examined him.

Snapping myself out of it, I decided that observing him would be the best way to go for now, maybe that other aura would make an appearance, so she could confront it, but for now, she needed to gather more intel on why and how an angel had made their way into the underworld.

Was this a scout? Maybe the angels had finally decided to restart the war, too many thoughts were rushing through my head at the moment so I chose to leave those for later thinking based on whatever I found in my investigation.

I had no loyalty towards those devil brats, so I wouldn't bother telling them of the angel's appearance in my forest, even if I did act as a referee in some rating game matches.

That was more, so they didn't bother me with their petty politics and hunt me down like they had done to other lesser dragons, Since I had no doubt the devils would hunt me if I didn't agree to, at least that after I had refused to become one of their slaves.

-Scene Break-

I watched in fascination as the mysterious angel with blonde hair sitting on the ground, meditating in a lotus pose. But what really caught my attention was how his mana flowed, or to be more precise, how it became more controlled and dense the longer it flowed around within his body.

At first, it was chaotic and hard to handle, like he had never used it before. It was barely able to circulate around his body, But as time passed, his mana got more controlled and dense quickly, surprising even me.

Just who was this brat? I had noticed several things that didn't make sense and further amazed me as I observed him.

The first unusual thing I had noticed about the young angel was that fact he seemingly had no karma threads, karma threats were invisible threads that can be seen by special beings like gods of fate, luck, and karma.

These threads are like connections that link everything together. They have the power to influence events, either making them happen or preventing them from occurring.

The interesting part about these invisible threads could be controlled to a certain degree by any being powerful enough to have access to them.

It meant that I could cut or erase them, which can lead to two different outcomes. If a thread is cut, it disconnects an individual from its karmic ties, making it free from karma's influence. This effect was only temporary and took a tremendous amount of mana to perform.

On the other hand, if a thread was completely erased, it means both the thread and the object or being it was connected to would vanish, unless the one doing the erasing is stronger or as powerful as the being connected to the thread.

I was one such being, as a dragon who held the domain of karma, I had access to this power which had led me through many battles. Unfortunately, this power wasn't without restrictions, otherwise beings such as myself would be far more feared than we are.

These restrictions were, firstly, we could not directly manipulate the threads of being on or above our level of power. The most we could do is use mana to let us predict our enemy's movements by reading the karma threads, but even that consumes a lot of power.

(AN: This is an actual power from Dxd Cannon, slightly altered of course, but nonetheless don't bitch at me if you don't like it.)

The other restriction was the erasing part of the power was extremely mana intensive, It was not worth using since the only people I could use it on were people I could kill with my flames anyway.

The more time I spent watching the angel brat he seemed to surprise me more as I watched him, I had originally decided to watch him out of boredom and wonder as to why he attracted me so much.

I had already confirmed it wasn't magic of any sort, at least nothing I could detect, and that ruled it out since he was far weaker than me and thus wouldn't be able to hide any magic from my gaze.

Even most gods wouldn't be able to bypass my mana detection, let alone some weak angel, could it be some sort of angelic bloodline?

Angels didn't possess many bloodlines like the devils, but there were rare cases like the first generation of angels, like Lucifer and Michael, had bloodlines given to them by the now dead god.

That meant he was either one of the seraphs' children, which was highly unlikely given how angels couldn't procreate, a massive oversight on the almighty father of angels part, I quietly snorted in amusement at that thought.

The other speculation was he had somehow developed a bloodline which was extremely rare but not unheard of. Of course, this was all just a speculation on what the alluring presence his body gave off came from.

I continued to observe the intriguing little angel and watched as he suddenly turned his head in my direction, had he sensed me?

No, that was impossible. My aura and body were perfectly concealed to the point even weaker gods wouldn't notice me. He stared for a while before shrugging and opening his wings up.

I was slightly speechless, had he just turned to face me on pure instinct? What sort of killer instinct does this kid have?

Watching him lift off the ground in a somewhat majestic fashion and begin to levitate, I was ready to follow him as I started to get up from my seat, squatting within the wilderness and bushes of the familiar forest in my dragon form.

I nearly face-planted as I watched him suddenly lose control and face-plant onto the ground in an almost comical manner. Baffled by the sudden change of events, I had to stop myself from giggling.

After calming down for a few moments and reigning in my laughter, I shook my head amused. I hadn't laughed like that in centuries.

Being a dragon king and a female one at that meant I could never truly let my guard down around other beings, especially the devils that seemed instant on having a close relationship with me.

So even if the angel decided to disappoint me and turned out to be just another average prudish angel, this trip was already worth it, but somehow I had a feeling that the little angel would continue to impress me.

-Scene Break-

Observing the angel's battle with the lesser fire wing amphithere I was amazed at the pure battle prowess he displayed. The past few days he had appeared to find a location to rest and had started training himself.

Initially, I had thought it was a foolish endeavour and was slightly disappointed, but I kept an eye on him nonetheless. While the idea of training itself wasn't a bad idea, I was always happy to see somebody attempting to improve themselves.

It was an attractive trait that many supernatural beings did not possess, since they normally got content when they compared themselves to humans.

The only real problem was that training would take ages without any magical equipment or support that was commonly used to increase the speed of training.

Even then, magical equipment like that cost an extreme amount of funds to build and even more to buy such equipment, which was mainly why you only saw supernatural nobility or high-ranked members of each faction have access to said equipment.

Then there was the fact that not many beings could break through each rank, with most beings getting stuck at a bottleneck at some point. The factions usually sought talented individuals, since their bottleneck was much higher than everyone else's.

Otherwise, they wouldn't bother spending their time looking for members when they could just train their already existing and loyal members to further heights. It would be much more convenient, but it was the reason there was such a high demand for talent.

That was why I thought it was foolish to train instead of finding a way out of my territory, which was admittedly dangerous, luckily for him, he was in a safer part of the forest, so the creatures weren't too strong or numbered but if I were him, I would be quickly looking for a way out.

There was a very good chance that even if he did train and refined his abilities that he wouldn't be able to push past the low-class level and break into the mid-class level, and even if he did, there was a high chance he could encounter a threat out of his league before then.

Well, that was my initial thought, of course, until I watched him train and, to my absolute astonishment, watched his power begin to increase at a rapid rate.

I felt my cheeks slightly heat up at the sight of his perfectly toned abs that were currently glistening with a sheen of sweat from his workout.

As a female dragon, power was extremely attractive to us on an instinctual level, so the rapid rise in strength made me look at his perfect details in appreciation, before I shook my head clear and continued to observe, my eyes only sometimes wandering the handsome angel's features.

-Scene break-

Gazing from afar at my darling standing tall and fearlessly in front of a miniature army of thousands of goblins, I sighed in admiration before turning my gaze to the dirty goblin scum that dared try to hurt my love. The rage that filled me was insurmountable. How dare they.

I felt my bloodlust rocket as I felt the need to destroy the filthy cretins that dared to try and harm my sweetheart and tarnish the perfect body of his wish their filth, if not for the fear of rejection that was in my heart from my love, I would have destroyed them in a sea of flames already and destroyed their ugly souls.

I couldn't help being consumed by my thoughts as I began to think about how this came to be. If the past of me from three months ago saw me now, she would be horrified.

Never in my thousands of years of life had I felt the strong emotions that consumed me every time I thought about him. These feelings filled my being to the point it hurt me when I thought about leaving him.

When I had noticed these feelings I had thought nothing of them, putting it down to his aura, but as the feelings grew stronger and stronger when I realised I had tried to back off and leave him in fear as for some reason, the thought of hurting him didn't even cross my mind.

I had been protecting him from the pesky beasts anyway, well, the stronger ones that he wouldn't be able to deal with, why? I didn't know. I had assumed my interest in him was just high enough to protect him from any threats he wouldn't be able to deal with, but the warmth flooding my body suggested otherwise.

One day, that was the amount of time I could spend away from him before it became too much and I, for some reason, started to be plagued with feelings of despair and loneliness, the coldness of it scared me.

I realised this weakness and had thought maybe I had grown attached to him, which perhaps was natural for someone like me who didn't enjoy the presence of others. Someone secluded like me might have just gotten used to having his presence, is what I tried to reason with.

With this in mind, I had tried to slowly detach myself from him, which only worsened it to the point every time I left him the time I could comfortably let him leave my sight decreased until I simply couldn't go an hour without him.

One day, I spotted a female sprite Dragon begin to approach him. As I watched the red female sprite dragon draw closer to him, an intense surge of jealousy overcame me and took me over my emotions. I felt my very being burnt with it, and it began to twist my thoughts and senses.

Seeing the sprite dragon's dainty scaled form sauntering towards him like some harlot made me burn with both jealousy and fear in me. What if he were to be taken by her charms and deemed her worthy to be his familiar or even worse, his future mate?

Before I could rationalise my emotions and recognize she probably wasn't planning to seduce him, my dragon impulse took over and I ripped the sprite dragon's head off its delicate scaled shoulders and incinerated the body instantly. The little sprite dragon was none the wiser as she was instantly erased.

This was a strange phenomenon I had never encountered or even felt, these feelings were new and uncontrollable unlike my other emotions such as anger, fear, greed and such which I had long learned to conceal with my thousands of years of life.

I felt like I was missing the most crucial element to my existence, it was like I had finally got something I had been waiting for my entire life only to have it ripped away from my grasp.

Even though I normally loved spending time gazing at my many precious treasures, which I normally did at least every week. It was as if their brilliant luster had faded into insignificance before my eyes.

All I craved now was to smell that intoxicating smell his perfect body gave and to watch that angelic smile he had when he accomplished something, to embrace his flawless body in my safe arms and to drag him into the safety of my cave forever.

The new emotion that filled my being up was seemingly impossible to control. Every time I left him, I started having thoughts of what if someone stole him from me? Or what if he was injured? These thoughts drove me insane and sent me into a spiral of hysteria.

When I couldn't see him, the world itself seemed to lose colour. My heart began to claw at my chest, I felt sick at the thought of never seeing him. His perfect hair and those gorgeous eyes. That body and that intoxicating smell his body produced had me hooked like some sort of drug.

I had even used one of my treasures at one point, a magical golden chalice that could heal mental ailments, and used it to try to clear my head of the deep obsession I felt, but not even that had worked.

The past two months, I have watched my little angel grow explosively in power. His growth, his power, resonated deep within me. Igniting an intense desire that surged within my dragon instincts.

It was more than just his power and growth, it was more than just that, it was his boundless potential that drew me even further into the pit of obsession I had grown for him, a deep hole that kept getting deeper.

As I watched him jump down and commence a one-sided slaughter against the filthy goblins, I couldn't help the arousal that burned within me and the double movement of my hand lowering between my legs as I silently pleasured myself to the sight. Luckily I was currently in my humanoid form.

I wanted to go out and take him for myself, but something stopped me, the dark thoughts of rejection making me force myself to stop from jumping him and wrapping my wings around him for the rest of eternity in my safe embrace.

I could only take solace in the fact that I was sure he would one day be mine and mine alone.

No matter what it took.

-Scene Break-

Once again, I found myself seated in silence as an unseen observer of my beloved, just as I did every day as it had become my routine. As a dragon king, I could go without sleep for long periods of time, therefore making it easier to watch my beloved without interruption.

I couldn't help my thoughts wander as to what I had witnessed yesterday, as I had watched my beloved lay ruin to the entire goblin village in a show of pure ruthlessness that sent a shiver up my spine in delight.

Lastly, I had spent most of the time since then quenching the heat it had sent into me in waves, I felt pride and satisfaction knowing my theory had been corrected and that he wasn't like his prudish brethren.

Even if he were, I doubt it would be able to deter the pure devotion and obsession I had grown for him, but, nonetheless, it was nice seeing my suspicions being proven correct.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I watched with furrowed brows as the goblin maid my beloved had chosen, much to my rage and bloodlust, emerged from the mansion with a multitude of bags and items.

Where are they moving locations? Why? I watched as my beloved made all the items disappear in what I had long since come to assume was some sort of pocket dimension.

What was going on? I listened and widened my eyes in shock and fear, they were leaving the underworld? I felt a gathering of magical energy begin to funnel into a vortex.

No, No! He couldn't leave me. In a panic, I immediately went into my dragon form and released my presence accidentally. In my desperation, I blurted out the first thing that came to me, so he wouldn't leave me.

"Wait, No!, I won't let you leave me!." I screamed out in panic, successfully stopping and confusing him.

I burst out from my hiding space and in a blink of pure speed and power smashed through the fortress walls like they were made from paper and stared down at him in my towering form.

I won't let him leave me!

-[Kai Pov - Present]-

My breath hitched as my heart sank, and my expression turned dire, Tiamat was said to be high up on the scale of Satan class level. I finally got to see the difference between an ultimate class being and a Satan class.

{Name: Tiamat}

{Title: Dragon King/Chaos Karma Dragon}

{Race: Dragon}

{Power level: 68400}

I knew Tiamat was said to be close to the heavenly dragon stage of power from my previous memories of high school dxd but this was far out beyond my expectations, how was I supposed to compete with a monster like this?

I had seemingly deluded myself these last few weeks into believing my current level of power was impressive, but gazing upon the Chaos Karma Dragon's power level was disheartening to say the least.

Taking a deep but shaky breath, I tried to calm my emotions down, being afraid wouldn't do me any good and would simply cause me to make mistakes which I absolutely could not afford.

My past battles which I had deeply reflected on had made me curse my stupidity in certain things, such as not simply using my wings to fly up and out of reach when attacked by the shadow wolves.

Even if I had just arrived and was admittedly pissing myself at my first encounter with the large intimidating monsters and had never used my wings before, I should have at least tried.

Though to be fair, it had taken me a while to actually learn how to use them but regardless, there had been other instances in battles where I had made stupid mistakes with my rash behaviour, it was why I had decided I needed an intelligence skill to help.

My battle maniac side, which I had developed after overcoming my initial fear of being transported into a new world with magical monsters out for my blood, didn't help either.

A part of me protested that I was new to this world and that no normal human who was thrust into a world of godly beings could be perfect, which I partially agreed with.

No normal human would be able to, but I didn't want to be normal or imperfect. Those kinds of things had gotten me betrayed and killed in my last life.

I strived to be perfect in my own way, and I no longer had any desire to take the shit the world seemed to enjoy throwing at me.

Now faced against the giant but beautiful blue Western dragon who had appeared out of nowhere with a power level which made mine pale in comparison, I knew the chances of my escape were slim, maybe even zero.

Even knowing that, using a lot of my will, I forcibly shoved down my fear and calmed my mind. Glancing towards Grizella who was next to me, before anyone reacted, I appeared behind her and chopped her neck.

Without any time to react, she slumped unconscious and began to fall, but before she could hit the floor, I sent her into my inventory. I had experimented with my gamer powers to see its limit and learned I could only send living creatures that were unconscious into my inventory storage.

I couldn't afford to have her hold me back, and letting her die would be a waste of a good maid. I locked my eyes upon the Chaos karma dragon who was staring at me with surprise before it turned into joy?

It was hard to make out any expression on her serpentine face, but her eyes reflected what seemed to be an unhealthy amount of obsession and adoration. I really didn't know what to think about this.

Now that I had confirmed her identity and terrifying power level, I remembered the familiar forest was the territory of Tiamat, and it would be strange if a dragon close to the level of a heavenly dragon wasn't aware of my presence in her territory.

The real question was what did she want, she must have known about me for a while, or at least that's what I'm guessing. I looked around at the now destroyed fortress walls.

I still had the one-time use wormhole ready, I wasn't interested in fighting a being who I knew I stood absolutely no chance against. I may be a bit of a battle manic and stupid at times, but I knew fighting her was suicidal.

Immediately I charged the one-time usage wormhole and prepared it to appear under me, so it would drop me directly into the wormhole, while it would be interesting to know why she suddenly appeared. I wasn't going to be foolish and stay here for any longer than necessary.

Just as I charged it to appear and felt the mana rush out and begin to form a vortex, the magic immediately sputtered out as I suddenly, instantly I found myself forcefully pinned to the ground by a giant blue tail.

"No, you can't leave me." I heard the sweet, melodious voice of the dragon pinning me down shout with what sounded like desperation and fear.

I blinked in shock and confusion, dizzily looking around, what just happened? One moment I had been preparing to teleport out of here, and now I found myself struggling against an unyielding blue tail pressing me down.

I hadn't seen her move an inch, I felt the fear rise again as once more she showed me how much I was outmatched. I winced as cracks kept forming. The pressure she was exerting to keep me down was tremendous.

Her eyes widened at me and immediately, in another flash, the tail disappeared, letting me breathe properly once more.

"I'm so sorry I didn't realise, a-are you okay? Please forgive me, I would never hurt you! Please believe me." She spoke once again.

I looked at her and regained my bearings. What was with her strange behaviour? Why was she acting so desperate and caring with me? I had never spoken to her before, I was sure of it. I couldn't help questioning her.

"Why do you care for me so much, I'm pretty sure we've never met." I questioned her while thinking of ways to escape this situation, only to raise an eyebrow as a blush appeared on her Draconian cheeks?

Dragons can blush? That was oddly fascinating.

"W-well, I've been watching you for a while-" she stammered out.

"Wait what, you've been watching me?! Why?" I asked, surprised. She had been watching me and I hadn't noticed. I was glad she wasn't hostile, or I would have been dead ages ago.

"Isn't it obvious! We are meant to be together! You're perfect for me, I've never met anyone like you before, even smelling you now is intoxicating!." She replied loudly, with craziness tinting her tone.

Hold on a second, could it be? No, being like Tiamat couldn't possibly be that of all things… right?

"I won't let you leave me, you can't! I have been watching you for months. Please accept me, I promise I'll be a good mate. I'll keep you safe forever in my cave and I'll do whatever you want, just don't leave me!" She screamed with desperation laced deeply within her crazed tone, tears starting to stream down her scaled cheeks.

I stared in pure disbelief at the large dragon before me, her eyes were locked on me intensely, waiting for my answer, I was speechless, Tiamat was a yandere…

How the fuck had I managed to make a powerful dragon king who was probably thousands of years old become obsessed with me?

This wasn't good, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't just take no for an answer, judging by her reaction. I honestly didn't trust her one bit, being stuck in a cave for the rest of eternity didn't sound great, I would rather not stay in this damned forest a moment longer.

Wasn't there a rule about not sticking your dick in crazy and taking one look at her draconic eyes poised on my form with a crazed intensity, there was definitely a screw loose in this woman.

Ignoring Tiamat's declaration. I quickly raised my hand and let loose a blazing flash of light that burst from my open palm, illuminating and blinding the area for miles around. I had put a large amount of holy power and mana into this.

I wasn't willing to spare any expenses and foolishly underestimate an opponent who could move faster than I could even register. I was hoping the flash would be powerful enough to briefly blind her to allow for my hasty escape.

Immediately I tried to activate the ability once again, the mana swirling into a vortex and beginning to form only to once again be interrupted as Tiamat almost lazily slams her tail on the ground creating a giant crater and shockwave that erupted outwards.

Sent flying back, I collide with multiple walls and crash through in a giant explosion of dust. Getting up I cough and wave away the dust.

"I-I'm sorry, are you okay? I thought I held back enough to not harm you." I heard Tiamat's sweet voice call to me.

That's humiliating… she was holding back so much and still was able to send me flying. What a terrifying being. I chuckled. I felt my blood pumping despite my anxiety.

Not needing any thought I pressed accept.

"I don't want to hurt you, but you have to get it in your head that we're supposed to be together. I can feel it, and I'll have you, no matter what it takes," she said, her voice all firm and possessive.

I merely narrowed my eyes in response. It seems the flash of light didn't work, clearly her senses are too powerful to overwhelm.

It was worth a shot at the very least. I honestly knew I had no attacks that were powerful enough to harm her, but nonetheless

I opened my palm and made three bright, condensed balls of holy light. Moving as fast as possible, all while racking my brain to figure out how to escape her.

I hurriedly hurled the balls of holy light at her, the radiant balls of light packed to the brim with mana. The first two were aimed at her eyes, hoping to cloud her vision briefly.

The third ball, I aimed at the ceiling, hoping falling debris would slow her down. Just a few seconds, that's all I needed to open up the wormhole and escape.

Raising her tail, she effortlessly swiped both balls of light away, the condensed mana balls instead of exploding, bouncing off the scales on her tails harmlessly and sent into the distance where they exploded in a massive shower of heat.

The other ball of holy light hit the ceiling and created a massive explosion, I quickly unfurled my wings in a flash of golden light and back in a burst of speed to avoid the fall out of the explosion, watching as it made the whole fortress collapse on itself.

I skidded back into the courtyard of the fortress and I instantly attempted once more to activate the wormhole, it could be seen as cowardly of me, and it did sting and anger to scamper away instead of fighting, the simple fact was I knew I couldn't win.

Not yet anyway. I'm merely thinking with the mindset of a true gamer now, if there is something I can't defeat, I'll fuck off, find a secluded place and train until I can.

I would have many chances to improve my abilities and gain more experience. To do that though, I needed to escape. Feeling, the wormhole once again starts to form.

I feel the anxiety in my chest as the wormhole just starts to form before I'm blown off my feet from a shockwave as Tiamat's large dragon body appeared in a flash of speed not befitting her large frame.

All of this happened within a mere few seconds. Sent into and out of the large walls of the fortress. I landed and skidded into a large tree. I coughed harshly as I felt my whole body ache.

"Fuck." I scowled and winced at the pain.

I looked up again to see the large form of Tiamat slowly approaching me as I slowly and unsteadily rose to my feet. I felt hopelessness trying to claw at me, but I refused to give in. This encounter merely increased my motivation to get stronger.

Furiously racking my brain for a way out of this situation, I cursed myself for not choosing an intelligent skill for my repertoire. It would have really been helpful for a situation like this.

I just needed something to stun her for long enough, then create the wormhole and drop my ass out of this messy situation. Seems simple enough… How do I stun a dragon king nearing the level of a heavenly dragon is the question.

Sighing, I realise I'll have to go all out with my next attack and with that in mind, I pulled out murasame from my inventory.

The beautiful and graceful katana appeared in my hand. The dark energy of the blade leaking out. Surrounding it with a dark purple light as it feels my intent. I had only used the trump card of murasame a few times and realised I could only use it for a short time.

After it ran out, I would be left with a severely aching body and even breathing would hurt. I hadn't used it in any battles due to that and the pain it causes while using it. Gritting my teeth, I activate Little war horn, the name of the ability.

Dark energy exploded out from the blade as Tiamat patiently waited, her curiosity piqued. My eyes turned black, with dark markings around the pupils, and a shadowy aura covered me.

Pain surged through my entire body, but I fought it, doing my best to ignore it, focusing on my power as it surged tremendously. I also begin to pour chakra in my legs to give it a bigger increase.

Deciding I might as well put even more power into the attack, I channel light and holy power into the blade, half expecting it to fail due to the dark energy fighting against the light power, I watch as the energies fight before gaining an idea.

Closing my eyes and focusing through the pain. Instead of making the energy cover the blade, I forcibly mix it with the dark energy coming from murasame.

To my shock, the dark purple and golden energy slowly mix and a shockwave violently erupts out of me. The grass and trees near me shrivelling up and turning into ash.

I grin only to nearly scream in pain as the dark golden red energy creeps into my hands and creates throbbing veins that begin to burn me like acid.

Quickly trying my best to focus, I put a tremendous amount of mana in and ran forward with all my might. Desperately trying to focus on attacking her instead of the brutal pain.

"Stop this foolishness in this instance. You're hurting yourself. I don't wish to force you, and I've tried to be accommodating to show I mean you no harm but to drive yourself to harm…" she says, only to be cut as I near her, and she raises her scales tail once again ready to block.

I grin savagely at her arrogance, she didn't expect the blade to be able to hurt her. Hopefully, this would at least give me time to escape. Before I hit her, I used sun breathing for some extra power.

"Eighth Form: Solar Heat Haze"

Slashing downwards, I watch as the fire from sun breathing becomes red and explodes with a tremendous force. All the power striking down in a massive explosion of pure destruction. Engulfing the area around us and incinerating the trees with ease.

I grit my teeth as the surrounding ground shattered and exploded. I felt the blade go against the scales of Tiamat. Just as I felt it press down by a small amount, I found myself bound in ropes of draconic energy.

Curse Resisted

My eyes widened as I looked around for murasame only to find it lying next to me. The blade was severely cracked and damaged. I felt the trump card of murasame slowly recede and leave me aching with a stabbing pain.

Gazing up to see the form of Tiamat above me, I glanced at her tail to see a small cut and immediately expected her to be angry only to see a pained look on her face before her eyes became resolute.

"Obviously, it seems you need to witness the true scope of my love and dedication to you, which can't be shown via battle like I had hoped… I'm upset, but I understand my love, and I'll help you see how good I can be." She says with a nod of her head.

I stared at her defiantly but ceased my struggling as I understood it wouldn't do any good. It would be nice to have a protagonist power up right about now…. No? Ok, I'll just find a way out of this by myself then.

I could only watch as the small cut glowed and healed after a few seconds, she proceeded to lift the ropes of draconic mana and pick me up and raise her to face and rub her scales cheeks against my body lovingly before flapping her wings and shooting up into the sky.

She flapped her wings and began flying in a certain direction, which, I assumed, was her cave. I could only scowl as she flew through the air. I think I was fucked at this point. My body was on fire and I really couldn't think of a way out of this mess.

Just as I felt myself at a loss on what to do, I heard a familiar ping that made me light up in joy.

"…"

I briefly stare at the sub skill section, my brain taking a few seconds to load the implications and swiftly ignoring it. Looking back up at the skills, I frowned, as much as I wanted to check out all the selections I didn't have time for.

I felt my body light up with mana as I selected the light fruit manipulation, my control, and understanding of the element of light grew deeper. My mastery over it refined as new knowledge was imprinted in my brain.

Through an intense fluctuation with your mana you have gained.

5 MAG

[Light manipulation and Light fruit manipulation have merged!]

[Skill Light manipulation has evolved into Light Embodiment]

[Light Embodiment] (LVL: 1/20) {Novice}

[Through the evolution of Light manipulation you have gained the skill Light embodiment, a much more powerful version of light manipulation. Allowing the user to not only manipulate, but incorporate and embody the element of light.]

[Passive Effect: Reduces light usage cost by 50% increases light attacks by 100% Negates all regular physical damage by 100%]

My mouth fell open in a perfect imitation of a fish as I briefly forgot my current predicament. I had predicted my light manipulation to become better with the additional usage of the light fruit manipulation, but this was far beyond my expectations.

Snapping back to focus, I closed my eyes and focused on the new knowledge I had acquired as I was getting further away from the ground. Luckily, Tiamat wasn't using much of her speed, and otherwise we probably would have reached her cave by now.

Her pure speed was something beyond me, and I had a feeling I hadn't even seen the half of it. I felt my body begin to buzz with energy, my skin thrumming as my figure shook slightly before I glowed brightly and in a wink, I felt Tiamat's tail disappear from around me.

Feeling my position shift, I looked around and suddenly found myself out of Tiamat's clutch, falling to my previous location with the wind blowing harshly against my form.

Not needing to think about my next set of actions, I opened my wings up in a flash and flew down as fast as I could, hoping to recollect Murasame and leave before she could notice my departure from her embrace.

Feeling my heart beating erratically, I had no time to waste, so going by the instinctual knowledge I had gained when downloading the light fruit manipulation skill and acquiring my new light embodiment skill, I felt a layer of light enveloping me.

Like a shooting star, my max speed which I had been going at and ignoring the massive amount of pain and exhaustion I felt in my whole body became much faster, and I felt myself landing right beside Murasame. I knew I would be out of commission for a while after I had escaped.

I scowled at the blade's broken condition, but quickly placed it in my inventory and once again attempted to use the wormhole skill.

I felt elated as I saw the wormhole begin to actually form this attempt, only to scowl in fury, as I abruptly felt myself wrapped and bound in glowing blue chains, on the ground. Looking up at the now familiar face of Tiamat.

My body suddenly gave way and slackened, weakening and sagging as I finally succumbed to my overwhelming fatigue. I had gone far and beyond my limitations in my hurried attempts of escape but the disparaging level of power between me and Tiamat showed its difference.

I simply couldn't hope to cross the boundaries of power, I had now experienced my first true loss in my second life… is what I would presumably be sulking about if I wasn't the gamer. Opening the system store, I scowled in true wrath.

Even the times I had battled against the numerous deadly creatures that resided within the familiar forest, I hadn't felt this much anger, in those instances it was simply the law of the jungle, the strongest wins. So I hadn't really felt hostility beyond my desire to defeat them.

I had been putting all my efforts into escaping via using the one-time usage wormhole I had initially purchased, but it had now become apparent that wouldn't be a viable plan anymore. Now reluctantly I was forced to switch to my back-up plan.

Opening up the system store's panel, I quickly scrolled through the large selection, as I felt my foul mood rise the longer I skimmed over the numerous other products the system's store had to offer. Finally arriving at the instant teleportation skill with a one-time usage.

I bought it without bothering to look at the price. Now with the ability to instantly teleport, I looked at Tiamat's Face, which had stayed looking down at my prone form. I sighed.

"Oh my darling, you continue to impress me, but I'm afraid escaping my love is impossible. Give in and let me take care of you." Tiamat's admittedly alluring voice giggled.

"Love me or hate me, Respectfully, I truly don't give a shit." I said disinterestedly, I really couldn't be asked to deal with the shit right now. I felt my mind start to drift into the land of unconsciousness, without a real destination, I simply wished to go somewhere safe on earth.

Saying no more, I activated the skill. In an instant, mana swirled around me and her slitted inverted pupils widened in pure shock, overwhelmed with an enormous amount of fear and desperation. I felt her large tail wrap around my form briefly, only to feel it disappear as I finally was able to escape.

All I heard was the earth-shattering monstrous roar containing an unnatural amount of rage and despair as I felt myself finally transported away

-[Lord Phenex Pov]-

Briskly walking down a desolate street of Nasathern, one of many cities residing in the phenex territory. This city was one of the poorer ones so to speak and much less busy than the rest of the cities under the Phenex management.

Flanked by my personal guard, my mood hung heavy with a mix of melancholy and seething anger. My mind was fixated on my youngest son.

I didn't particularly have any attachment to him, but the realisation that someone would dare harm a phenex under my reign. Angered me to not end. Striding down the streets with a practised elegance and determined stride.

I finally happened upon the purpose of my visit to this frankly disgusting city, filled with the common filth. An unassuming hotel that seemed to be empty with only a few devils lurking about.

Making sure the concealing magic was active to not draw suspicion for his visit. Since angering the guild definitely wouldn't be worth the cost it would cause me. As prideful as I was and rightfully so, angering the guild would undoubtedly cause even someone as influential as me a lot of trouble.

I ascended the red staircase with grace, even if I knew only my personal guard could see me. Near the grand entryway, beside me, my personal guard briskly walked in front of me and opened the door for me with a bow.

I didn't bother sparing him a glance as I strutted in without a care, gazing around the normal-looking hotel that seemed not bad but luxury either. Just the perfect amount of normal they seemed to prefer.

Making my way up to the seemingly unassuming reception area, I patiently waited as was custom as the receptionist slowly glanced up and put his pen down from where he had been writing in a diary of some sort.

"Ah, lord phenex, a pleasure to meet you once again. I don't suppose you've come here to book a room, I'll need your identity and selected room. I recommend our vip penthous-" he babbled on in the normal way a receptionist would act.

"Enough." I growled in annoyance.

I pulled out a golden coin with a red skull imprinted on it, the golden coin releasing a dark aura with the skull seemingly twisting in agony. I handed it to him without further prompting.

He inspected it closely with a professional attitude before he reverted to his playful charade.

"And here I thought you said you were done making deals with us "backstabbing rats"" he chuckled with amusement.

Not answering, I simply stared at him, he pouted in a childish manner at my reaction before giving me a key and pressing a button.

"Room 13." He said simply, but I understood and gave him a nod. Before walking off.

"Feel free to call me anytime." I heard him call out from behind me, but I ignored his playful attitude. I had seen what they were really like under the masks they put on, and I knew the only true demon in that room was him.

Walking to room 13, I raised the pitch-black key. Which was notably different from the rest and opened the door. I signalled my personal guard to wait outside. Even if it did come down to a fight, I knew how it would end.

I had simply brought him for appearance's sake.

Walking in, I'm greeted with a long dark ominous hall, instead of a hotel room. Shakily taking a breath. I regain my calm and stride down the long, dark hall with purpose. Making it to the end after a while of walking.

I'm greeted with a stone table I take a seat at. A diffuse bathed in shadows say across from me. Red glowing eyes staring at me with disinterest.

"You have sought us out, tell me who it is you wish death upon." His raspy demonic voice makes me shiver.

"I do not know his name, Grand inquisitor." I said hesitantly, only to gasp as an aura slammed my head down.

"You come here and request we try to find a target who you do not even know of." The raspy voice was deathly calm, making me pale even further.

"I-i have a d-description of him." I gasped out and coughed as the pressure lessened.

"Don't waste my time and get on with it." The voice said.

"He is a young boy at the age of 14-16, don't be mistaken by his appearance. He was able to easily beat a squad of mid class devils led by a high-class devil without damage. He is estimated to be peak-high class or low-ultimate class." I spoke quickly while pulling out a drawn picture of a mask.

"He is said to wear this mask and most notably is an angel." I said in hopes of not aggravating the man further. I pulled out a drawing of what Ravel had described the mask as looking like and placed it on the cold stone table in between us.

"Very well. This endeavour will cost you a lot of money. An ultimate class being is not an easy target. Do you acknowledge this?" The voice said, and my shoulders dropped in relief. Of course, they would accept.

"Yes. Also, if I'm allowed to so foolishly make a request I would be willing to pay extra for a more brutal death." I said with a vicious half smile, half scowl.

"Request accepted, it will be done, we will contact you soon regarding your payment." The raspy voice of the grand inquisitor said, and with a wave of his hand I suddenly found myself out of the hotel and on my ass.

Next to me was my personal guard, who had been transported with me outside. Scowling, I got up and dusted myself off while my guard looked around confused like the Buffoon he was.

That damn insufferable bastard just forcibly ejected us from the hotel, those pesky wards. I clicked my tongue in annoyance.

I smiled viciously. That brat would get what was coming to him for his arrogance against the phenex household. Against me.

-END-

Well, there's the chapter, thank you for your patience. Had some issues… this was more of a flashback on events leading to the battle. Kai has now officially escaped the familiar forest. In doing so, he's left behind a desperate Tiamat. Who knows what will happen next? Where will he end up?

Reviews: 

Guest: Thanks for the intelligent reply, I'm afraid that having the mc kill everyone like some edgy insane dude doesn't make for a good story without reason, of course. This story's main character is not good, of course, but having him mindlessly kill everyone without thinking of the consequences will just get him killed. It isn't smart. 

DarkSecretPerson: Good idea! Definitely something to take into consideration, I've been mainly focusing on basic skills such as defense and attack, while thinking about what will go well with his current skill set, instead of just giving him multiple random skills, so the skill you recommended would go really well to help with his attack power. Thanks for the suggestion, defo adding it at some point.

Guest: Sorry about that, people were complaining about me explaining skills too much, so I skipped it, I have a plan to go back to it. Trust me. It will appear again in the future after a few downloads.

Kamikazedrew: Firstly, mokuton can technically shoot roots of wood into the air, but I agree it's not the best skill I could have chosen. Still very useful for restraint. Why didn't he fly? 

Well, he just got sent to a new world and is now being attacked by monsters for the first time, so he's bound to make mistakes, on top of that, he didn't even know how to. If he had tried as seen he would have just fallen over and died and plus he was panicked at his first encounter with a real life monster like a normal human lol.

Korst: You do have a valid point, it's just that many fics do the hero thing wrong, and it's put me off the genre a lot. That said, I won't be making him just kill everyone like some insane purely evil mc, he just won't be afraid to kill and get his goals achieved. 

Bearticguy7: Ah yes, a spy ability is something I'll have to think of, maybe an ability to control animals or something along that line, thank you for the idea!

M2R: He won't be purely evil despite how it looks, he will be leaning to the grey area, along with certain scenes of brutality.
