Man, 3 months went by flying, we are so close to winter break and I can barely wait for it!
I have been to the devil twins house many times, so now it's marked and ready for when Mundus tries anything, I will be there
We also decided with the Hyrules that winter break is the perfect chance to go see the temple, Zelda's magic is incredible, her talent was so overwhelming, that in less than a month she had some scary levels of magic, stronger than me that's for sure, hell, Analyze gave me a scary result
"Zelda"
"Rank: C"
"Age: 11"
"Strength: D-"
"Agility: D"
"Magic: SS"
"Endurance: D"
"Charisma: S"
"Luck: SSS"
"Perception: B-"
So yeah, she is made of thin paper, but if she attacks, something dies, all the time
That luck is also pure bullshit by the way, such bs!
Still, she is ready to help out in the battle that will come, so I am confident, also yeah, it was her birthday, and as usual, I got her a gift, normally I give her a book about flora since she loves flowers but, this year I decided to be fancy and well…the result kinda scared me
I gave her a pendant, one that resembled the symbol of Nayru, I got an actual Sapphire to get it after all, I thank the contract with the record company for all that cash
Anyways, I made the necklace and gave it to her in her birthday, so yeah, when she saw it, Monica said everything for me
"Zelda"
"190 (…)"
Needless to say, I nearly had a heart attack to see that massive increase, I didn't quite catch why it increased so much at once and much less why the usual helpful words are now dots, all I know is that she has been giving me weird looks ever since
I know I didn't mess up since the number went up but things have changed and it concerns me
Regardless, my relationship with my friends are all going well, so I am certain that I have secured their help, besides…I do like hanging out with them
I have visited the Kagura twins and trained with them a lot, the relationship has not deteriorated at all but it also hasn't progressed
Leona on the other hand has been a surprise after another, shall we start with the basic?
She controlled the Blood Riot, not for long, but she was able to cancel it after hearing my voice, we celebrated a lot that day but, what worried me was…
"Leona"
"230 (…)"
The same fucking dots! I am concerned when I see them! Also! 230?! Holy shit we are reaching obsession real soon!
Now she can cancel it on her own when it happens but it takes a lot of effort, still the constant training has payed off, I am certain that soon, the Blood Riot will just be another card she can play in the battlefield
If we can use it against Orochi to maximize the "Fuck You" points, I would appreciate it
Samus has been as usual, cryptic on her training, she says it has been going well while I tell her all about what we have been doing, I also sent her the video of my performance in the competition
She was quite delighted to see that, but…well, again, something happened since I decided to be fancy again on her birthday, since I can't get her a gift, I sang a song for her, she found it adorable so I went through with it, and well…
"Samus"
"200 (…)"
Monica just won't tell me what those are no matter how I ask, so I have decided to ignore it
The song? Uh…Counting Stars I think it was, bit foggy on the details, I just sang without too much thought since I didn't have any support
Still, aside from that, everything is going well, today is another day that I will visit Dante and Vergil's home, usually I go there to play games or rock out, still, this day was gonna be a bitch
After having fun, I went back home but as night hit…
"MASTER!!"
Monica?!
"EVA'S HOUSE! DEMONS!!"
Leona realized my face as I looked out the window and the sky was unnaturally red
-That's…
-Leona, I am going
-?! No! You-
-My friends need me, sorry
I jumped out the window and this time flew by myself using fire, I just used it as if I was a rocket and soon after, I arrived at their home
A fuckload of demons were there but I am confident
"Mundus demon: D-"
Not strong at all, I sliced through them like tissue, that's when I heard struggles and combat deep inside the property, that's when I heard
-MOM!
-MOTHER!!
Yup! BLOWING SHIT UP!!
I blasted the walls and got everyone's attention, I saw a demon about to claw Eva into Sparda's arms, so the second I saw it, I nearly teleported and sliced the thing in half, then I blasted tornados sending all monsters everywhere and tearing multiple apart
-Mind if I join in fellas?!
-ERIC! (X2)
-Yup! I can't believe it guys! I thought we were friends! Yet you start this party without me? How cold!
-Sorry man, invitations ran out!
-You'll be pleased to know, we had a special party for you anyways
-Aww you shouldn't have, aight, before we continue the festivities
I turned around and healed Eva, no need to think if she is hurt or not
Dante and Vergil arrived by my side and upon confirming their mother safety they sighed in relief
-So what's going on? I saw the sky turn red and rushed here, normally it's a gate that causes troubles
-Not sure if I am being honest…
-No idea, they just showed up and attacked
-I…
-Could it be related to Sparda aunt?
She had told me about it when I asked about the father of these 2, so I know about it
-Eh?
-Sparda betrayed some big shots down there did he not? Perhaps those vindictive twats decided to kill you guys since you have Sparda's legacy
-No, they were targeting mother not us
-So they want to reunite you with Sparda then aunt?
-…Perhaps…
-Tch, even dead, they still target his family, disgusting!
-Will you help us?
-Need you ask Vergil? I got your back guys!
-Thank you
-Now I feel confident!
-Thank you so much Eric…
-Come on, second wave is coming
Both of them stood by my side as more demons began rushing us, any neighbor they had must have either run or bit the dust
I raised a barrier to protect Eva, as long as I live, this barrier should last around 30 minutes, should be enough to kill them all and piss off
…
Ok! Over half an hour and they don't seem to be slowing down! The barrier is gone so we left Dante back to protect Eva while me and Vergil unleash the storm on these guys but holy crap they are many! Like! Take the L and fucking go! How many more must die?!
We tried to get the hell out mid fight but we crashed against a red wall, Monica quickly informed me that it was a demon wall, one that will only break once the hostile demons are gone, so we turned up the slaughter after that
…
Pretty sure we killed over 400 by now…this night feels endless…thank god all these guys are fodder, still…fodder or not, I ain't in condition to keep fighting like this, Dante and Vergil can switch out, I can't, so I am feeling the pressure…
My wounds are piling up too but compared to what Goenitz did to me? Child's play!
I can still keep cutting!
…
Gah…god…dammit…
-…How…many…is that?
-…1500? I…I lost count…
-How…bad do they…want you guys…?
-Hey…they are done right…? We…we won…
We fell on our asses exhausted, but my luck came into play again
-How did everyone fail?
We all looked at the source of the voice, it was a statue of a majestic man, a God, that's what the statue resembled, and while both brothers were shocked, I felt my soul leave my body
"King of Hell: Mundus (SSS)"
Bullshit…absolute bullshit…can I get one winnable fight!?
This guy is the strongest enemy I have faced ever since I awoke in this world…
"Master please tell me you have a plan…"
[I…I didn't expect fucking Mundus himself to come deal with us]
"…Well?!"
[…I…I got nothing…]
"Master?!"
[Oh god I got nothing]
-Who are you?!
Vergil stood up and aimed the Yamato at him
-Spawn of Sparda, you were able to delay the inevitable, but that woman must die
-Not happening! Stay away from mom!
Dante also got up and aimed the Rebellion
-Are you really going to defy me?
-Eric, get outta here
Vergil suddenly said that to my shock
-Huh?!
-I gotta agree with bro here Eric, you have helped us so much already…this isn't your fight
-We will handle this, as the sons of Sparda, we have to clean up after his mess
Ha, I can't leave, not like this
-DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!
I got up and got in between them, the 2 seemed surprised
-You guys are my friends! We fight like brothers, and we die like brothers! AND WE AIN'T DYING TODAY!
-Human…
-I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE YOU MICHAELANGELO REJECT! BUT YOU AIN'T TOUCHING AUNT EVA!!
"Dante"
"180 (Hell of a brother I just got)"
"Vergil"
"180 (A true warrior and a brother huh? I guess I can tolerate one more)"
"Eva"
"140 (This boy is a lot like you dear…)"
-You would oppose me?
-HELL TO THE YES!
Fuck it, all the marbles! SHOWTIME!
-Return to hell you abomination!
-Give it up while you still can!
…
Well, we attacked, but did nothing, Rebellion and Yamato bounced off the statue while my blade straight up snapped in half, then Mundus just waved his hand and we got sent crashing back in an instant, no effort and he already got us on the ropes
-For Sparda's spawns, you are really weak…perhaps your human side is to blame?
-Don't you mock them!
I got up and began unleashing spell after spell, yeah, this is gonna make me bleed like I lost a knife fight in Yharnam, but this is my desperate play, we ain't gonna win regularly
-Futile
In one move, my legs snapped loudly and I fell, I swallowed a scream as they shouted my name
"Master if you have a secret plan, now is the time!!"
[…I…I kinda hoped you had one…]
"MASTER!?"
[Sorry Monica…I am fresh out of plans…]
"Then what do we do?! At this rate we are all gonna die!!"
[Uhm…]
-Enough, Die human whore, this is what you deserve for taking Sparda
He effortlessly lifted his hand and sent a ball of dark red energy at Eva, both Dante and Vergil stood up to block it, but…I kinda moved automatically
I blasted the ground to move and blocked the ball myself, it didn't hurt, despite seeing my body be torn apart and my blood spread everywhere, I didn't feel anything at all…
Am I…dying?
I can see all 3, Dante and Vergil are crying…how bad do I look?
"MASTER! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!"
[…Is that so?]
"THINK OF SOMETHING PLEASE!! YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE!!!!"
…
-Don't cry for him, you will join him soon
He sent another one of those balls, I tried to get up but my legs don't respond, I tried to move my right arm but it doesn't respond…my left arm worked though, and I could only do one thing, the one thing that made sense in my mind
"Ability unlocked, Unyielding"
-RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I slammed my left hand against the floor, causing a shockwave that forced my body upright and a beam of pure light emerged from my arm
-?! WHAT?!
The light consumed the dark energy and quickly consumed him too, but just like Ridley, it didn't kill him, it annoyed him
But it annoyed him a lot
-BUG!! HOW DARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOUUUU!!?
He rushed and got before us, his eyes now glowing red in hatred as he charged death itself in his hands
-DIE!
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Everyone looked at me in confusion, Mundus was the most annoyed
This is my hail mary play, if I die, at least I will save them
-What's so funny?! Did you lose your mind?!
-Nah! I feel clear! Hell, I never have felt more clear in my life! Go ahead! Kill me! See how everything you have worked up to, crumbles to ash before your fucking eyes!
-Explain yourself filth!
-I stopped you! YOU! THE KING OF HELL WAS STOPPED BY A 10 YEAR OLD HUMAN! NOT EVEN SPARDA'S SPAWN! A PURE HUMAN STOPPED YOU!! EVEN IF ONLY FOR A SECOND! I STOPPED YOU!!!
-?!
-SO GO AHEAD! DO IT!! LET ALL OF HELL KNOW THAT THEIR KING WAS STOPPED BY A CHILD OF THE RACE HE LOOKED DOWN UPON HIS WHOLE LIFE!! LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW THIS PATHETIC, PETTY AND USELESS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT WENT! BECOME THE JOKE OF ALL OF HELL!!
My last play, Pride comes before the fall
-Tch…you wouldn't be talking so much if you are ready to die…
-Of course! My offer is simple! Leave! No one needs to know you were here! After all, it's just killing half breeds and a human woman! Why would a King lower himself to the level of a fucking foot soldier?! Aren't you better than that? Leave! Blame the bad help on those pathetic demons who got killed by a 10 year old human!!
-…Ngh…
-If not! Kill me! Let all of hell know what you did! LET THEM KNOW YOUR TRUE WORTH!!
Mundus looked at me, his hatred was palpable
"King of Hell: Mundus"
"-80 (Scheming time bomb)"
-…Well…played
-!
-I can always send more demons to kill that whore, but my reputation will crumble if I kill you now, lowering myself to this level is unbecoming of a king!
-…
-I will not be responsible for your death freak
Suddenly, I felt a lot better, my wounds were gone even if I was bleeding
-But I will make sure you die
Before anyone could react, my vision went black and everything was silenced
*Title: Mundus
