S7ven 7

Danlgne (pronounced dan-line for some reason) is quite a familiar country. It is the one where Stercus and the gang's town is located. It is also where Daemonium went to maintain his Diamond persona during his first two arcs. It was called Hawksworth town for those who forgot. This country also borders the shadow country of Aissur, where C.D. Washington is located for some weird reason. This would probably be easier to follow if the author gave us a world map already but we'll have to settle for our imaginations.

Daemonium and the other Daemoniums decided to head to a random town by a portal and ask the people there if any 3ds had been sold. Unfortunately, it seemed the entire population didn't take kindly to a half-demon parading around the streets. So he decided to try again as Diamond, which just meant he had to explain what it was to like fifty people before realizing it wasn't there.

So he moved on to the next town. And the next town. And the next town. While the responses were interesting due to the other Diamonds behind him, he couldn't find the console.

Finally, after a few days of searching something notable happened. He was just walking around the street of one town when a pink-haired lady he didn't recognize ran up to him with hearts in her eyes.

"Diamond!" She hugged him immediately to the slight jealously of the three behind him.

"Is this the guy you talk about Krys?" Some big guy behind her walked up to Diamond and eyed him. "Seems somewhat sexy, but I didn't know you were into the knightly type."

"This is Diamond?" Some kid nearby had his eyes shine as he saw the guy. "This is the amazing guy who is so kind and thoughtful and a person I should look up to and be like?"

"You are already looking up to him," a young girl around the kid's age said. "He's clearly taller than you after all."

"Remember me, Diamond?" The girl apparently named Krys asked Diamond this question. "You were there to cheer me up when everyone was away and left me alone. Thank you!"

"Yeah," Diamond said, not having any knowledge of what he did. "No problem."

"Are those your familiars behind you? It's so cool how they admire you so much they decided to look like you. I've never seen someone take such a powerful slime or kitsune, and I didn't even know it was possible to charm a zombie. Amazing!"

"Of course," Diamond replied, getting many Calumnia vibes from her.

"So Mr. Diamond fella," the young girl said, also eying him up. "Krys here said that you were the strongest person she knew. Got any proof?"

"Well," Diamond said, trying to think of a way out of this. "I can breathe."

Diamond mentally facepalmed at how hard he bombed that.

"I like you," the girl said as she smiled. "You must be one of the few in this world who truly breathe and aren't faking it, that takes strength man. The name's Scitus by the way."

Scitus held out her hand with a smile while Diamond just stood there confused, eventually shaking her hand.

"Well you must be an interesting fellow," the big guy said as he put his hand on Diamond's shoulder. "Are you as interesting in bed?"

"Please stop being like this Pan," Krys mumbled as she covered her face with her hands.

"Well," Diamond said. "I wouldn't recommend it. You'd probably die from what I can do."

That was technically true. He was half succubus so by getting penetrated he would automatically absorb Pan's life force. If Pan stays in for too long he could get his insides sucked out of him.

"Well I like it," Pan said, not getting the implications as he grabbed Diamond's hand and started walking to the nearest hotel. "Let's try it!"

And he would've taken Diamond's virginity too if it weren't for those meddling familiars that looked like him for some reason.

Fake Diamond, Green Diamond, and Dead Daemonium didn't take too kindly to the one taking Diamond's virginity not being them.

And none of them realized that he technically wasn't a virgin. He was half succubus so of course, he utilized it one day.

"Wow," the boy said, seemingly amazed at his friend being knocked out instead of a more appropriate reaction like concerned or afraid. "Your familiars must be strong."

"They are," Diamond said, ignoring the fact that Dead Daemonium and Green Diamond were just level 1 and Fake Diamond was carrying the team.

"I want to get familiars like yours one day. Where do I find them?"

"Outside."

"Really!?"

"Yeah," Diamond said as he realized how much of an idiot this kid was.

"Diamond," Krys said. "You should come with us!"

"Yeah," he replied. "But I was looking for my 3ds so I don't think I ca-"

"A 3ds?" The boy mentioned the console as if he had seen it before. "Like the one Veritas had?"

"Veritas?"

"Yo guys," a dark-skinned, spiky blonde hair, powerful-looking adventurer walked onto the scene. He seemed like he was about to say something until he saw Diamond right in front of him. Diamond saw him too, and his mouth grew wide as he realized that the guy he had killed during the Lies arc was now perfectly alive and well as if nothing happened.

----------------------------------------

This would've been the perfect cliffhanger to end on, but I guess there's more.

So Diamond agrees to join the party on their quest much to Veritas's dismay. He tried to convince them that Diamond was actually a demon in disguise but Krys wasn't having it so he reluctantly agreed.

The quest was to exterminate some vampire bats in the nearby cave. Unlike vampire bats in your world, these bats are large. With a wingspan of 4-5 feet long they are known for biting into large animals, humans included, and sucking out their blood for their own nourishment. The population was getting too large and some were flying out and attacking the local populace so the gang accepted a quest to kill at least a hundred of them.

So far it was going well. The boy, which Diamond had learned was named Stercus, demonstrated that these bats didn't appreciate fire, and Krys had easily shot some down with her arrows. Pan was basically swatting them like bats while Scitus would cause lots of damage with the bottles she used. The MVPs here were definitely Veritas and Fake Diamond. Veritas was surprisingly fast and especially strong. His spells would kill a large amount at once. Meanwhile, Fake Diamond's illusions were great for support. The gang practically took no damage with Fake Diamond leading the bats into attacking the air or each other. The other three were mostly dead weight but Stercus did get Daemonium to learn a fireball spell so that was something.

Eventually, the group reached a fork in the road. There were two paths in the cave, and it looked like they would have to split up.

"I want to go with Diamond," Krys said eagerly.

"I enjoy the thought," Diamond said. "But I and my familiars can do it alone."

"Alright," she said, giving up surprisingly easily. "I'll go down the right then. Come on, guys."

The two groups split up. Diamond and his familiars went left while everyone else went right. Now alone Diamond decided to take a break and stretch as he transformed back into Daemonium. Green Daemonium and Fake Daemonium also returned to their Daemonium copying forms. After walking for a bit the group entered a clearing with a few cracks in the sky that shone a light that focused on the stream nearby. There were stalactites littering the ceiling, but hardly any stalagmites on the ground. The place did sparkle however as if it was sprinkled with tiny crystals.

"Finally, a place we can be alone," Veritas said as he walked into the clearing. "Now I can finally kill you."

"One question," Daemonium said. "How are you not dead?"

"I'm a god. The god of truth. Gods don't die when killed."

"No, I don't mean that," Daemonium clarified. "I've heard that when one kills a god their body reappears in the exact position of death. While this would normally mean death a clear shield would protect them for ten seconds after the revival, allowing them to run and survive another day. Sure it isn't entirely effective with them also regressing back to level 1, but it does mean that I should have seen that happen to you when you died."

Veritas was taken aback for a moment. "Who told you that?"

"Calumnia. Apparently, she knows a lot about gods, but I didn't want to listen to her ramble on about it."

"I suh sszzzss s-s-s-ss-zzz-zuh s-s-see. Error code 3449-2801!!" His body quickly shook as if it were a phone on vibrate. His hands went and waved every which way as if he had a seizure. He closed his eyes and snapped his neck unnaturally to the side. When his eyes opened again they were red.

"Solution," he said. "Extermination!"
