Just a heads up~ A relatively short chapter for now~ I promise another relatively big one tomorrow though~ After that i won't be posting again until Thursday/Friday.
Enjoy~
As we began to casually walk forwards towards the large beast, i noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Everyone in the surroundings was just casually chatting while watching us walk towards the beast.
Are they that sure of our winning that they don't give a fuck? ... Kinda pisses me off a little
The beast leaped up and landed on one of the nearby buildings, staring us down and howling.
I say it was roughly the size of a truck but...
"Wow~ Kinda reminds me of a behemoth from F-8, except it's not purple. And it even has wings! That's so cool~" I looked over towards Chio and tilted my head a little. "What?"
"Eh? .. Oh no don't worry about it~ Just a game reference is all. So shall we do this?"
I made a pair of green wings for myself and punched my fists together, pumping myself up a little. I wanted to see how well i could do without any weapons and assistance from my own magic.
"Hey you two? Mind if i take this guy on by myself?"
""Sure~"" They replied in unison as they stopped walking and relaxed a little.
I focused on the monster in front of me and activated my mana sight.
"Oh? So it had this function too?"
NameLugriuRaceSub Demon [Canis Gigas]Rank[S]ClassMid BossLevel241Affinity[Chaos] [Earth] [Fire] [Lightning]Danger Level8 [SS Rank Adventurer]A Sub Demon species of the Canis Ultima species. Can control the elements of fire, earth and lightning as well use some magic.
It is recommended to not engage these beasts directly unless you are of a high level or have special resistance equipment.
Is known to summon other monsters when near low HP so it is recommended to finish it with a strong attack if possible.
They can use a large array of tactics based attacks and magic and are known to be cunning. Do not let their size fool you. They are quite speedy and agile.
"Hmm" I leaped up towards the boss monster named Lugriu and sent a punch flying at it's giant face.
The punch slammed into the beasts muzzle and sent it staggering back a little, one of it's front legs swinging around and the claws slicing towards me.
I hurriedly drifted back a little and the claws just grazed past my chest, a small amount of fabric getting torn from my shirt.
"..." The power of this thing was no joke. But at the same time, neither was mine. Considering my low level and inexperience with real battles, i was doing fairly well. Just as i was getting lost in my thoughts, a surge of electricity came pouring from the beasts mouth, barely missing me as i flew to the side.
"Phew, that was a close one." I got into a stance, my wings controlling the mana in the air to keep me afloat. I kept a careful eye on the beast as it began to rise into the air, it's wings beating a heavy pressure of air my way.
"Grrraaaoooooo" It roared savagely before pouncing at me again, it's claws at the ready.
Just as it was about to swipe at me, i felt something amiss and turned behind myself, leaving my back exposed to the monster. Which i soon realized was a good idea as the beast suddenly appeared behind me, a confused look appearing in it's eyes. Unfortunately for it, i was ready and waiting as it's claws sliced forward. I threw an arm out and drifted to the side a little, the thick, heavy foreleg slicing through empty air.
I brought my arm down on it's foreleg as hard and fast as i could, putting all my weight down as i did so.
-crack- ... -snap- I heard bones breaking and flesh tearing as the foreleg was dismembered and sent falling to the ground.
"... What...?" I was dumbfounded at what i had just done. There is no way i was strong enough to do something like that right? I shook my head a little and then sent a fist flying forwards towards the beasts muzzle again, the force impacting it's snout and causing it to cave in.
A large amount of blood began to flow from it's snout and severed arm and it looked me in the eyes, a feral madness crackling away in it's own eyes. Before i could even notice what it was doing, a huge pillar of fire burst from the ground and bolt of lightning burst from the sky, both scoring direct hits on me. I felt the fire burning away at my skin and the lightning coursing through my body as i began to fall from the sky.
My wings had been torn to shreds and dissolved by the fire but i didn't care, using air step and bringing myself to a stop.
"Seems like i have to use a little bit of magic on ya now..." I smiled darkly at the beast as i healed my wounds and repaired my clothes, making everything seem good as new.
"Oi, Oi. Didja see that?"
"He di'n chant o nuthn"
"And that power..."
"SS... No SSS class?"
I could hear a few shouts from below as a crowd began to form, all gazes focused on me. I blocked it all out and activated shadow step, appearing behind the beast.
"Surprise motherfucker" I grinned before slamming a water covered fist into it's neck, piercing through to the other side and out through it's throat. But as expected of this worlds rules of nature, it didn't die from just this.
I leaped back and flicked my arm to the side, blood and water detaching and falling to the ground below.
"... Human.... You will regret this... I heard a deep voice groan inside my head and opened my eyes wide. The beast before me flapped it's wings once before disappearing. I used shadow step to move 10 meters behind where i just was and slammed my fist forward, connecting with an outstretched wing.

"Grrrrr" The beast turned around unsteadily, it's one good wing barely keeping it afloat, a growl coming from it's throat.
I summoned a small black dagger in my hand and poised it in a reverse grip, a small amount of mana pouring into it from my hand. I readied myself to charge but stopped, a chill running down my spine. I quickly diffused the dagger and my air step and plummeted to the ground, just in time.
As soon as my feet touched the ground, a huge tremor shook the ground, buildings and even the very air itself as the beast exploded into fine dust and a small figure appeared where i was just a moment ago.
It turned and looked this way, a feral grin plastered on its face and a large amount of chaos mana swirling around it.
It looked like a small girl around 7 years old. messy grey hair falling around it's face and to it's shoulders. A grey tank top of sorts and a black pair of cargo pants. A single white wing was growing from it's shoulder and a long spiked tail whipped the air.
"..." I gulped once after reading the information that came to me after i focused on it.

"Guys i think we should do everything we can not to anger this one." I could feel myself trembling as Chio and Darkeria walked up beside me.
"... It's most likely stronger than Elementia was... Maybe even more than ....." I couldn't hear the last part of Darkeria's comment but just hearing that it was stronger than the worlds creator...
It suddenly locked eyes with mine and then tilted it's head, the feral grin from before was replaced with a more innocent and inquisitive look. With no visible time lag, it appeared right in front of me, just 1 meter away, it's legs dangling freely in the air as it hovered at eye level.
""!?"" The two girls behind me uttered shocked gasps and took a step back each.
I didn't blame them. This girl just moved so fast that she covered 800 meters in a single instant. I could tell she didn't use magic or anything like that. It was genuine movement.
".........." She gazed into my eyes, not uttering a word, the chaos mana surrounding her was slowly settling down as well.
".........." She slowly opened her mouth and pressed a tiny finger into my chest. "You.... Created..... Too...?"
I felt all my blood run cold and a surge of mana spread out from my body, slowly eroding all the elemental mana in the surroundings.
"W..... What did you ..... Just say?" I could feel myself starting to panic and the confusion in my mind began to take over.
She titled her head a little and repeated, this time a little more clearly. "You were created.... too?"
A small cracking sound reverberated inside my mind and i saw images start to flicker in my thoughts.
A young woman in the void, slowly shaping the world.
A young woman in the void, slowly bringing about the creation of 7 baby girls.
A young woman creating another young girl, this time one that was a little older than the others.
And finally......... A young woman forging a soul. A soul of a young boy with the blood of a human, the blood of a god, and the blood of an Aevolian. The young boy's soul was held in the young woman's arms, it's form unmoving inside her arms.
The young woman sent that boys soul through a door into another world, a world she did not create.
After the images stopped flashing through my mind, i jolted and fell to the ground. I could tell that my face had lost all colour and i probably had a shocked and defeated look on my face. A small tear began to form in my vision and i began to cry.
I felt a small hand on my forehead and my vision focused a little, bringing that little girl into focus.
"We....Same.... You.. Come?" She smiled a little, the smile looking cute and innocent. I hesitated for a moment and looked back towards Darkeria.
"......." She avoided my eyesight and tightened her fists by her side. She.... knew.... I looked back at the girl called Azriela and hesitated once more.
"I....." I didn't know what to say in this situation.
"Friends..... Won't hurt.... So you..... Come with me?" She spoke softly to me as she brought her hand down and opened it.
"......." I slowly reached out and took her hand in my own before everything started to blur.
A moment later i saw that we were standing on top of a fairly large skyscraper at the edge of the city somewhere, the view of a large ocean spread out below us.
Welp next chapter will be a Darkeria POV again~ It will follow what happens in the span of a few weeks since Nick's disappearance and lead up to reuniting them. This will however mean that i will not be sharing what goes on for that period of time with Nick and Azriela. Don't worry though as i will bring some small parts of this time into the main plot as time goes by~
Thanks again for reading my story and i'll see you all next chapter...
