Baal PoV

As I woke up I felt something very large on top of me. As I open my eyes I found a LOT of fur on top of me and so i push and easily lift the ball of fur up and with it my tent comes out of the ground as well.

The sound of the ropes snapping seems to startle those who are already awake and they come over and get the tent off.

Baal: Someone help me get this thing off.

Suddenly the large ball of fur flies off and hits the wall with a loud thud. As i sat up I saw a large orange fox with 4 tails sitting next to me. Then when I looked at the ball of fur I saw a huge rabbit stand up snarling at the fox.

???: KITSU!!! DONT HIT ME AS YOU PLEASE!!!

The rabbit launched itself with surprising speed for its large size but was caught by the tails of the fox.

Baal: Kitsu?? Then you're Rook.

Kitsu: Yes master. One moment while i discipline this fat ball of fur.

With his tails wrapped around Rook he slammed the rabbit into the ground making its horns stick in it and then lets him go

Rook snarled as it started to pull his horns out.

Kitsu: Calm down fur ball you were crushing master while you slept so i just pushed you off him since you keep climbing onto him.

Rook: Hmp just lift me up and don't smack me then.

Kitsu: Its not like you feel it with all that fat and fur.

Rook: *Grawl*

Suddenly black flames erupt from the area his horns were stuck and the ground erupted around him letting him loose. He stood up on both legs, stretched and yawned before going back onto my bed and returning to sleep.

I was already up and was surprised to find i was much taller now. My build was riddled with quite dense muscles and i felt power in my body.

As I looked at myself i noticed something strapped to the right side of my belt which was in a strange sheath. It was a strange item which was blood red with a single empty barrel attached to a wooden handle and a small switch at the base of the handle. As i checked it out Hugh appears asking about the sudden commotion.

Hugh: What the hell is going on?! Hmm, who are you?

Baal: Its me Baal sir.

Hugh: Baal you're...big? Whats that?

Baal: Don't know, found it strapped to my belt.

Hugh: Let me see.

I had it over to him and he starts looking at it from all angles and after a bit his face brightens up.

Hugh: Oh I know what this is. Its a weapons a few foreigners invented. There were a few models, this one is called a pistol I believe. It has huge amounts of power that allows even a level 1 merchant kill a level 100 monster if the aim is right.

Baal: Why haven’t I ever seen one before.

Hugh: Easy they are expensive like nothing else. The materials needed to make this are extremely rare and expensive and the ammo needs to be of good quality or it would be a waste.

He hand me back the pistol. I looked a bit more and suddenly a window appeared.

Baal: this weapon is made from my old body. Its called an Imp magnum and it uses mana as ammo.

I injected my mana into the weapon and soon i could feel the bullet for inside. I pull the top lever and the bullet goes into place and aiming at the wall i fired.

The sound of the bullet was intense and the explosion of the mana was even more so. It left a 30 cm hole in the wall.

The gun fire and explosion woke everyone up. A few even had their sword draw ready to fight.

Hugh: Impressive.

That single word made everyone around me nod in agreement.

???: What was that sound. I heard it coming from here.

When i looked back and saw a girl with long blonde hair down to her waist with sky blue eyes she looked 12 like me and was in her developing stage where her curves are starting to show up.

Baal: ahh who are you.

???: I could ask you the same thing.

Hugh: wait don't tell me Lilian?

Lilian: of course who else would i be.

Baal: by any chance have you looked at yourself yet.

She blinked a few times and looked down. Her hair fell forward, before it was black but now was clear blonde and she was now much taller.

Lilian: I ranked up yesterday so that means your Baal.

Baal: Yep.

I put the gun in the holster that if it in.

Hugh: ok lets get this out of the way. What was the rank up?

Baal: High Demon: Lesser Tengu (Variant)

Lilian: High Angel: Lesser Angel

Hugh: Tengu…It has to be coincidence right or not

???: Whats all the noise about.

Looking at the voice we saw Slade with a tall green haired woman at 190cm and with two long horns riding close to her head. She had long black hair and on her sides were two strange long swords.

Lona: oh kids you ranked up as well. I guess that would happen obviously since you eat tha…

Slade: *cough cough* seems the goddesses blessing came into effect when you reach a certain level.

he looked at her with a powerful glare.

Slade: You probably got new forms along with the sudden growth. Let see them.

We nodded and turned into our original forms.

Lilian stood back and he body started glowing a bit and soon large white wings sprouted out of her back giving her a majestic look.

I on the other hand changed completely from the Imp form. First off my skin was pale bluish color and long horns that stuck close to my head appeared on my head but what was different was that I grew a lot of feathers on my head and torso. On my head it covered the areas around my eyes and the front and top of my head and made a crow like shape on my head on the back side my black hair stuck out at its end. On my back and arms the feathers ran down them making a kind of coat around it. My wings changed from the original red bat like wings to large bird wings similar to Lilians white angel wings. And lastly my short thin tail i had as an Imp changed into a longer reptile like one that reached the ground.

(Baals appears similar to this just without the giant cannon on the right arm. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/2/2c/Beelzemon_Blast_Mode_dm.png/revision/20130729042902)

Baal: woah i feel so strong in this form.

Lona: Thats a Tengu Variant!

Slade: whats a normal Tengu look like.

Lona: well from the pictures drawings i’ve seen a tengu is a large winged demon with a red face and small crow beak or a red face and long nose. This is the first time i’ve see in like this. It’s probably the reason you also got that overpowered weapon of yours.

I pulled the gun out and it fit perfectly into my enlarged hand. Seems it grew larger as well to accommodate the size change.

Special ability (demon form only)

Spell bullets

You are capable of creating mana bullets from spells and when it impacts it will activate the spell in the area of the impact.

(cant find an image for this)

The visual change was subtle but you could tell if you looked close enough. The gun unlike before looked more demonic with things that looked like veins passing through it. The edges also seem to become pointer and give off a more demonic appearance and feel to it. I pointed the gun to the wall again and infused mana into the gun. When the bullet was ready i pulled the trigger and the once loud explosion didn't make a sound as the bullet fired off and only the explosion made any sound. The explosion left a meter long hole in the wall as well as made a shockwave strong enough for us to feel it at a short distance.

Slade: this weapon...is dangerous.

Hugh: ya. In a ranged fight this would definitely put others in the grave.

Baal: doesn't mean i will stop with the scythes though. If someone stronger or faster then me appears they could definitely get close up. Also there's a huge charge timer and i think i need to train a lot understand the weapon properly.

Lona: hey while we're at it want to check it out? What i said yesterday.

Hugh: ya seems interesting. Baal come with us we want to check something out. All of you stay here and don't come upstairs thats an order.

We walk upstairs not caring to turn my demon form off. Passing the bed chamber we saw the demon exile still in bed and a few men doing treatment on him. I push that out of my mind after we reach the throne room.

Lona: ok now first off let me tell you what I talked about with those two last night.

She explained about the history of the castle and how the dungeon works and how a tengu is needed to bring the castle back to its former glory.

Baal: so now that I’m a Tengu i can revive the place to how it was?

Lona: We don't know for sure. Our best guess is that something will happen we just don't know what exactly.

I looked up to the large crystal over the throne and with a jump and flap of my wing i flew up to it. It was a beautiful shade of purple and red that seemed to swirl around within it. Not knowing what to do I touched it but when nothing happened i pushed mana into it and it started to glow. It was a strong glow and started getting brighter for a bit before dimming. It stopped glowing and began to release a dark mist.

Hugh: Miasma!

The smoke started covering the ground and came all the way to me and lona but Lilian and the other paladin were completely avoided.

Baal: what is this stuff. I can feel so much power in this smoke.

Lona: Its called Miasma, its the excess power that is released from very powerful demons. Its also what causes the area within the castle to one rifts to let in low ranked demons from the underworld.

Slade: with so much what will happen.

As he said that the miasma started climbing and entering Lona and me. As more and more of it entered me i saw images in my head. Memories of the past. A tall nobleman sitting on the throne in the castle but it still didn't have the great crystal above it. Birdmen servants that spoke with their master casually like a child speaks to his father. He told them to do a few tasks or to pass it to someone. Everyone was happy and even those in the village were happy unlike the somewhat run down town we see today.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The image changes to the leader standing in front of his castle where a large group of humans armed to the teeth with greedy grins on their faces. One man in great armor surpassing all others came up.

Man: You are the demon lord Galton correct.

Galton: I’m of the demon race and I am lord of this castle and town so yes I can be called demon lord.

Man: perfect.

The man pulled out a large crystal orb and threw it into the air and shot it with a powerful spell destroying it and activating a spell that was cast within.

Many summoning circles appeared around the area and many Brutes appeared all over the place and the largest appeared right in front of Galton mid swing. It was a powerful Oni much like the one that was killed yesterday. It caught him off guard and slammed into him full force and made him crash into the wall.

Oni: GRAHAHAHAHA!!! Worthless Tengu you die today. Castle belong to Oni.

Galton: If i was so weak to die from monkeys like you i would never have made this castle which takes in exiles who don't wish to fight.

Galton stood up once more and now his body was much larger. He was fully armed in many unique pieces of armor protecting his who body. In his hand was a Powerful looking spear. His body had also grown to 2 and a half meters tall and his face was now covered with black feathers making a crows head over the top part of his head. His eyes were glowing red with rage and from his body a torrent of Miasma was being expelled and raising giving him the appearance of some great demon shrouded in black flames.

The appearance of his demon form made the lesser brutes step back fearfully as did all the players. Only the normal and high brutes and the Oni stay somewhat calm but even then they were shaken.

Human Leader: H-he’s releasing Miasma...What kind of freaking monster is he to be able to release that much.

The miasma soon started to spread out instead of upwards and covered the demon warriors under Galton. It empowered them and they began transforming as well into their complete demon form. All were lesser tengu and their bodies were hidden in the black smoke with only their red glowing eyes shining through the smoke.

From fear a few Brutes rushed in only for some red flashes of light to appear where they entered and their body to be thrown out of the miasma in pieces.

The red eyes looked at them and started to move forward and soon the first walked out of the wall of black fog. His body completely covered in black feathers. His hand turned into five digit bird claws. Their heads was completely like that of a crow and on their back large black wings.

Oni: ATTACK!!!

The brutes all rushed in and at the same time many bodies ran forward to intercept them as well as some flying up leaving a trail of black fog that clung to its body. The ones on the ground were very powerful and fast they easily dodged and sliced apart the brutes with their claws leaving only dismembered bodies. Those flying used advanced magic spells that decimated the brutes while healing and powering up their allies.

Soon they kill off most of the brutes except the most elite and the Oni. They circled around them like vultures waiting for their meal when suddenly large amounts of light magic flew from behind the Brutes. The view turned to the humans in the back. They were all grinning as magic was shot high up and down low catching brutes and tengu without a care for who it hit. The barrage of magic quickly killed many of the demons that were fighting leaving only those that were within the miasma. In the middle of the black fog the glowing eyes that belong to Galton became even brighter as his anger reached its peak. He slowly moved forward and leaving his cloud of power behind.

Even from far away the humans became nervous seeing the powerful demon’s powerful form appear from the fog. While hold his spear in one hand he held his right hand forward aimed at the Humans.

Galton: You dare attack my family. Know your place humans. I shall show exactly what a higher tier royal demon’s power feels like.

His hands began glowing reddish purple and formed a dark ball. He pulled his arm back and threw the ball at tremendous speeds and it reached the human wall after too quick for them to react and it hit their leader head on in the gut and took him with it as it pushed itself into the heart of the human army before it expanded and exploded.

The size it reached could easily destroy the whole castle and town around it which Galton built. With the explosion came the pressure and shock wave from it. Those that did not die from the explosion died from the shock wave or were crippled to the point where they fainted.

As the dust settled a huge crater could be seen on the land. Galton held himself with great pride as he looked onward. Suddenly a number of white chains sprang from the ground and chained the great demon and restricted his power.

Galton: W-What is this.

With a sudden burst of light an elderly man appeared.

???: ah the demon lord of this accursed castle. To be so easily fooled by us.

Galton: who are you!

???: I need not say to a lowly demon as yourself only that you will die today and will be forget in history.

Galton looked at the old man and then grinned.

Galton: you have blocked my power but not what i have released. I will make sure that someone will discover what happened today for demons are not all evil like humans who gain power.

Suddenly all the miasma all over including that which was on Galton’s own body began to converge into a single spot just above him.

Galton: I give my power to insure this place remains the home of demons!!!

With the last of his strength he made all the power he released for a beautiful reddish purple crystal. It remained in the air above him for a moment where a small ball of light came from Galtons head and entered it and it then flew to the top of the castle embedding itself above the throne room.

Greatly weakened Galtons form returned to his human form which still had his great demon horns proudly showing on his head. He was on his knees but he still looked up to the elderly man with a grin. The old man looked at him with a grim glare and pulled out a white dagger and plunged it into his chest.

Galton: you many...kill me...but good demons...will...always find...pro..tec...tion...he..re.

His body fell over dead and the chains binding him released him.

The old man looked up to the castle. A light came from the top of the castle. Soon it began to rapidly age and soon it was at its present appearance as a demons dungeon.

My view was back into my body and I was looked upwards and was still standing where i was before the memories flooded me. When i looked down the miasma was still flowing into me and Lona. I clutch my fist and began to draw all the fog within me. My black wings began turning abyssal black as more and more entered my body. It was five minutes before it was all gone. All my feathers were like that of Galtons.
