Chapitre 16: Red and White II
Issei Hyoudou (11 years old)
"Fuck! What was that punch?! I didn't even see her move!" My nose was bleeding, probably broken. Worst part was that she held back on her strength. My head was rattling and senses were having a hard time working.
[Are you finally ready to listen?]
'I get that she's the White Dragon Empress, Ddraig, but what's with this power level?!'
Before my dragon could answer, I saw strands of silver hair invading my vision. The next thing I knew? A hand held my face and slammed me down, effectively burying me in the ground.
"You lecherous brat...it looks like I need to teach you a lesson. I thought I'd scare you and motivate you to become stronger so I can have a good fight in a few years' time. But I changed my mind." I couldn't see her face, but I suppose she would be frowning right now. "I'll break a few bones in your body. That won't kill you, right?"
Her foot smashed against my face. My jaw hurt like hell, but I didn't scream. In fact, I didn't do anything. Except count...7...8...
"What? Don't tell me you're already dead-?!"
...10
[Boost]
[Explosion]
A surprise attack allowed me to free myself from under my attacker. The Boosted Gear on my left hand had unleashed a blast that forced her to step away.
Dusting off my clothes, I bounced from tree to tree. Hoping she'd allow me the time to keep boosting.
[Issei, she's actually...]
'What, Ddraig? WHAT?!'
[She's rumored to be the strongest host of the Vanishing Dragon. She's also half devil, that too from a higher lineage, so her magic reserves are insane.]
'Half-devil...just my luck. So she could be 100 years old for all I know.'
[No, she's still quite young. But she still had a much bigger head start than you, and that's if we ignore you used to be on the lower spectrum even for humans. If she wants you dead, you're dead.]
'Alright, alright. I don't need you to roast me right now.'
But...why isn't she moving? She's just standing there. I might be a child, but I'm still technically her rival.
"Fu-FufufufufufuFUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" A hysterical laughter resounded in the abandoned woods. "A human! And that too a little one! Thinks he has a chance against me? Pft-It's worse than an insult."
[Boost]
"Argh!!! That boost isn't going to help you, lecherous brat!"
"Wait! I didn't mean what I said! Well, I did. But not in the way you think!"
"Shut up!"
A blurred hand swiped at me. If I hadn't ducked, my head would be gone, evident by the missing half of the tree behind me.
My eye twitched as I realized just how hopeless this situation was.
I landed on the ground and threw my hands up. "How about we do a fresh start? I am Issei Hyoudou, this generation's host of the Welsh Dragon, and the Red Dragon Emperor. Who are you?"
"Tch, pathetic." she landed in front of me, glaring at my defenseless figure. "I am Valerie, the host of Albion and the White Dragon Empress."
I am not pathetic, you fucking succ-
No, let's calm down.
[Boost]
This one was silent, in my mind. I didn't let her hear the sound or sense my power up. My first boost was used for the explosion, so I was only four times as strong as my base level. Yet, I don't think I could land a hit.
"So, you said you came here to scare me into getting stronger. Am I right?"
"Hmph, I knew my rival was a human kid, so I came to see you. But you were just so weak that I kept laughing. I saw you training, which was good, but you can always train more." If I train more, I'll die you idiot. "So, I was going to show you the difference between us and make you despair. I want a strong rival who can give me a fight to the death. But you turned out to be a pervert who only stares at women for their body!"
A frustrated tick appeared on my forehead. "HUH?! Are you stupid?!"
"What?! How dare you call me stupid?! You're just a pathetic-"
"I'm not pathetic you fucking light bulb. I'm an 11 year old human, of course I'm weaker than a half-devil who's god knows how old. And as for the staring at your body part! When a beautiful woman appears in front of you, of course you're going to stare at her! Besides, I'm just a kid, a virgin. You're the one who's assuming my stare was lecherous."
"B-Beati-?! I'm not beautiful!" For some reason, she was blushing and looking at me like I had asked her hand in marriage.
"You really are stupid if you don't think you're beautiful, Miss Valerie."
"Shut up!" This woman is unbelievable. "It doesn't matter that you're a kid, all humans are just perverts anyway."
[Boost]
"That makes no sense, you're being very unreasonable and racist."
"I'm the one being unreasonable?! You said that my ass is about to pop out! That's...! Ugh-!" This time, it was a front kick meant to throw me back.
But she held back too much, and I was able to see it, and react.
Lunging forward, I interrupted her momentum before she could finish her attack. She was expecting me to either dodge or just block, so she was caught off guard.
I held her by her arms and pushed her down. A kid pinning down a grown woman, it was a weird sight. Before she could free herself, I began talking.
"Alright, listen. You want a good fight, right? Someone who can make your heart race with their strength." After getting a very reluctant nod, I continued. "Just give me time. I promise I'll gain enough strength to defeat you. Give me time. One year."
"Hah! One year? You won't even graduate from sucking on your mommy's tits in that time."
"I haven't done that in 9 years." Sometimes, an honest answer is the best response to sarcasm. "I'm your rival, I can do it. Believe in me."
I knew we would eventually kill each other, so asking her to believe in me was pretty weird. But this was a weird situation in and of itself. I mean, we were supposed to fight to the death the second we met. So, I played a gamble.
I think she meant to kick my abdomen slightly to push me off, but ended up kicking my groin.
"Ufghfgflfhgdgdf-!" My mouth made unrecognizable sounds as I tried to bear the excruciating pain.
She just chuckled and dusted her clothes before walking away from me.
So, I think she's giving me one year...?
"Lucifer." she suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"Lucifer. Valerie Lucifer. That's my real name. You have a year before our fated fight to the death, Issei Hyoudou." She turned around, and the smile on her face was as dazzling as the sunset at Isle of Skye.
But my expression wasn't of admiration, but rather doubt.
I had been forcing Ddraig to give me history lessons so I'm knowledgeable about the Supernatural world when I inevitable become the center of attention. I had been learning a lot. And the lesson about Devils was just last week.
"Lucifer...? But that can't...Unless? You're from...Rizevim Livan Lucifer?"
The next punch was straight and relentless. It wasn't playful, nor merciful. I think she barely held her strength back so I wouldn't faint.
My bloody eyes stared at the now truly furious expression on Valerie's face.
"Don't say that name in my presence."
She opened up a portal, or a crack, with the wave of her hand and disappeared. Leaving me to wonder the meaning behind her words.
