Deep within the Demonic Lands, a fight could be heard. Massive booms echoed throughout the forest as the trees and ground shook until suddenly a 4-meter tall bear was thrown through a few trees before crashing into the ground.
As the Bear looked in the direction it was thrown from, it whimpered in fear at the monster it'd been fighting.
"HAHAHAHA!" A booming voice echoed out as a giant figure stepped onto the trunk of the broken tree. The figure was 7ft tall, full of muscle that gave off a tyrannical and domineering feeling like it belonged to a primordial beast. His body was full of red vein-like lines that seemed to thrum in a calm but powerful manner. His hair was white and went down his shoulder and on to his back and his red eyes seemed more like a pool of blood than actual eyes.
His sclera was black with red crack-like lines running through them. This Gigantic Human was Felix and he'd been in the Demonic Lands for 4 months, fighting and getting stronger.
The first few weeks for troublesome because Felix could feel two unfathomably strong creatures watching him constantly but when they hadn't attacked him at all, he finally let his tense attitude go and got to getting stronger.
This proved to show Felix new problems. Such as fighting beasts physically stronger than him but after defeating his first Demon Beast and eating it, he found that his physical prowess increased drastically.
After 3 months of fighting and eating Demon Beasts, he'd grown vastly stronger physically. To the point that he could easily break through Dante's mage barrier. The Mysterious energy in his heart had grown from a single wisp into dozens of dense and pure wisps of energy.
Felix walked towards the whimpering bear with a ferocious gait and put his foot on the bears head. This bear was the leader of this part of the forest, it'd been Felix's goal to beat it in combat and eat it since he knew about its existence.
*CRUNCH!*
Putting some force into his foot, Felix crushed the bear's head and pulled out a bone knife he'd made. He then proceeded to skin the bear so he could get all the meat that was beneficial to him.
While he was doing this, he felt the two creatures watching him again but as usual, he ignored them and carried on with his business.
POV Change - Unknown
A pair of gigantic beast was watching a barbaric looking human skinning a bear and storing its flesh in a bag on it's back.
One of the beasts was a giant tiger. It had white fur with red stripes on it and red eyes. It looked lithe and beautiful but in a dangerous, predatory way. It seemed to be smiling as it looked at the thing it regarded as a young demon, it's long and sharp teeth glittering like the whitest of jade. "Unbelievable. A young demon like him only took 3-4 months to take over the outskirts of the Demonic Forest. What do you say, Sister Yui, do we take him as our disciple?" the Tiger's voice was incredibly different to its appearance as a giant killing machine, the voice was mature and smooth like velvet. Like a mature beauty had spoken and not a giant demon tiger.
The other creature was a Dragon, with white scales and red, slit eyes. Unlike the tiger, it was quite robust, having majestic muscle filling its entire body and giving off a feeling of power. All four of its limbs ended in five red claws which looked like 5 unmatched blades. "Hmmm, I think we should, Sister Mei. He has traces of two bloodlines similar to ours in purity and origin. He would make a brilliant test subject to see if we can combine our Demon Arts to make the perfect Demon." the Dragon's voice sounded more valiant than the Tiger's like she was a female knight who would battle against anything with a fearless attitude.
These two demon beasts were from the very inner part of the Demon forest, where only the strong can hope to barely survive. And these two 'women' were at the very apex of the pecking order there, so one could only imagine their power.
The Demonic Lands were split into 3 different lands; The Forest, The Mountain, and The Lake. The Forest was where Demon Beasts resided, The Mountains were where Monsters like Trolls, Orcs, and Ogre's lived and The Lake was where water-based Demon Beasts and Monsters lived. Each of these places had 4 zones of power, each leagues above the other in power.
From weakest to strongest, the zones were Edge, Outskirts, Middle Grounds and Inner. The only differences for The Mountain and The Lake were that the Inner was referred to as The Peak and The Deep respectively for each.
The two giant beasts were known as the Sisters of the Hegemony as they were considered the peak and only had each other to fight because everyone else was too weak. It was also a fitting name because one was a Divine Tiger and the other a Dragon.
The one referred to as Sister Yui, walked towards the barbaric boy who was obviously Felix and spoke.
POV Change - Felix
"BOY!~" Felix nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the booming voice full of power and dominance. He jumped away from the bear and tucked his bone knife in his bag as he got into a defensive position to go up against any attack thrown at him.
Felix could hear some giggling in the background as he started pumping as much of the energy in his heart as his body could handle. An aura of desolation spread out from him, flooding the area with a feeling of supremacy and ferociousness. The giggling stopped as the figures showed themselves, nearly causing Felix to collapse in fear.
He saw the massive forms of the two sisters; a massive Dragon and a Gigantic Tiger, both full of power and majesty.

"We are not here to harm you, boy, but instead we are here to offer to teach you the Way of the Demon." The Dragon spoke again but this time in a softer voice. Felix relaxed slightly but was incredibly wary still, as he didn't know whether this was an elaborate plot or something.
"Haha! Sister Yui, ease up on the pressure, you're scaring our poor disciple!" The Tiger seemed to reprimand the Dragon by sticking its tongue out. Felix was getting more and more shocked because their voices sounded like that of some impeccable beauties.
"W-why would you want to take me as your disciple?" Felix managed to blurt this out as he struggled to stay standing from the pressure from the two beasts.
"Because you're the perfect disciple for the two of us. You seem to have an incredibly powerful and pure bloodline from a Dragon and another equally powerful and pure bloodline for a Tiger, Sister Yui and I have been trying to merge our Demon Arts together but we've failed because we can't find the right canvas to put them on." she leaped toward Felix and put her massive head right in front of him "But now! Now we've found you; the perfect canva--I mean disciple!" Felix fell backward onto the ground from the shock of having a massive demon tiger in his face.
"Sister Mei is right. You're perfect. And if you're worried about us plotting something; Don't. If we wanted something from you, we'd have taken it and if we wanted to eat you" She lifted her claws and pointed at the Tiger in front of Felix "We could've done it easily, just like how Sister Mei got in front of you instantly without you being able to react."
Hearing what the Dragon said, Felix figured it made sense. What could two powerful beings like they want from him? He had no heaven-defying treasure on him and even if he did, could he get away from these two? Felix sighed as he got on his knees and kowtowed 3 times.
"Disciple greets Masters." Felix's voice, while not loud and domineering like how it was when he was fighting the Bear, was neither too humble nor too impolite signaling that he would stay his own person even if he had two outrageously powerful Masters.
The Dragon seemed to be proud of her disciples' determination to stick to his principles and the Tiger just started jumping around trashing the surrounding forest in excitement.
White light surrounded both the beasts and they started to shrink and morph into different forms.
The Dragon morphed into a valiant-looking beauty with white hair in a ponytail and a fringe swept to the left. Her face was beautiful and slightly sharp, her skin as pale as snow and her eyes as red as the most expensive rubies. She was about 6"6 in height, meaning she was incredibly tall for a woman in this form, towering over most normal men. Her figure was incredibly curvaceous, having curves in all the right places but her body also seemed very athletic and toned furthering her valiant beauty.
The Tiger transformed into a seductive looking mature beauty, her hair was white with red strands here and there. Her body wasn't toned like the Dragon but instead just juicy curves in all the right places. Her face was impeccable and her lips were deep reds and moist-looking. She was shorter than the Dragon but taller than most men in this world at 6"3.
Looking at his new masters standing next to each other; A seductive beauty and a valiant beauty, Felix didn't feel that having Masters was such a bad thing.
"Okay, from now on call me Master Yui and her Master Mei, okay?" Felix nodded at Master Yui's command.
"Okay then, my cute little disciple, follow us and we'll take you to a place to teach you the basics on Yoki and Demon Arts!" Master Mei said excitedly before going to leave but Felix quickly asked her a question before they left "What's Yoki?".
Before Master Mei answered, Master Yui stepped in "It's the energy in your heart, idiot Disciple. Now shut up and ask your questions at the house."
Felix shut up and followed them.
15 minutes later~
Felix and his Masters were in a hut now. Felix looked around the massive 'hut' and thought that it was more of a mansion.
Right now, Felix was walking towards the bathroom area because that's where his teachers wanted to teach him the basics. Thinking about how his Masters were so beautiful, he had to calm his little brother down a bit before he entered the bathroom.
When he entered he saw that it was less of a bathroom, more of a hot spring. He saw his two masters resting in the pool with towels covering their main bits and some towels holding up their hair as well.
But that didn't really stop Felix from imagining what was under the towels when he saw their cleavage threatening to bust out of the towels.
"Oi, Disciple, stop checking us out and come over here so we can start the lesson." Master Mei had a deadpan expression as she guessed what Felix was doing. Felix quickly hurried over and sat down with an embarrassed expression.
"Okay, to start off with the basics of Yoki." Master Yui took a big breath before she carried on "Yoki is pretty much the life force of Demons converted into energy that can temper and refine the body to higher and higher limits. It's usually gathered by eating other Demons but you can get it from life and death situations and physical exercise."
"It's usually used in unison with Demon Arts to get the most effect out of it. What you've been doing these past 4 months is not tempering and refining your body but instead increasing its potential. The potential of your body determines how much training can improve your body. For example, if your potential is bad you won't be able to improve through training that much but if your potential is high you can improve your body a lot with simple training."
Master Yui motioned for Master Mei to carry on as she got a glass of something and started drinking it.
"Like Sister Yui was saying, you've been increasing your body's potential, so your fights training on the side have been improving your body immensely. This is the reason you could kill that peak 2nd tier bear without undergoing any Demonic Refinings."
She had a drink herself but soon carried on "Demonic Refinings are what Demon Beasts undergo when they reach the next level of the Demonic Body Realm. There are ten levels in this realm and the realm after it is called the Demonic Bloodline Realm, which also has ten levels in it. To level up in the Demonic Body Realm you need a Demon Body Art which will temper and refine your body. Lucky for you, the more potential you have in your body, the more gains you get from a Demon Body Art."
Master Yui carried on speaking again "You'll be using a Demon Body Art called "Tiger Dragon Hegemony Art", it'll give you the best benefits of each of your Bloodlines has to offer and pretty much none of the weaknesses. This is all we'll impart to you before you reach the first level of the Demon Body Realm and then Sister Mei will impart to you the basic fighting techniques you'll use as a foundation for the combined techniques."
Felix nodded to his Masters with excitement burning in his eyes. This is what he wanted! A way to get even more powerful! He said he'd become the apex of this Forest, so why stop there?! With these two as his masters, he could rule The Forest, The Mountains, and The Lake, then he could use his power here as a foothold for the rest of the country!
His Masters both looked proud as they felt the excitement, determination and resolve radiating off of their disciple; They knew they'd picked the right one.
"Come out of the Bathroom then, I'll impart the Demon Body Art to you." Master Yui stood up and motioned for Felix to follow, which he eagerly did. He couldn't wait.
