章 101: Retaliation

Murayama and Katase were scared, they had never been in this kind of situation before and didn't like it. They were in a white room with the people who kidnapped them, numbering well over a hundred, a man with silver hair, and finally the worst of all, a giant dragon like person covered in dark green scales. Thankfully the people didn't do anything to them, but they were told the truth about those at their school, about the existence of beings known as Devils and magicians. It was hard to believe, but with everything in front of them, especially the giant dragon person, it was hard to refuse.

"GRAAH! Why can't I fight that shit Ddraig?" The giant dragon person yelled. The silver haired man sighed and explained,

"I already told you Grendel he's too unpredictable, Hades offended him and a few days later his domain became a mess. When we investigated it due to our alliance with him we found that he had disappeared. You will fight eventually, we need the data, but when we have more control over the situation." The dragon, Grendel, snorted in response, but didn't say anything else. The silver haired man turned to them and said,

"It's almost the appointed time, for your sake she better show up." The two didn't say anything. A person in this situation would normally hate the beings that they didn't understand, and according to the people that took them the very person they looked up to and hoped would save them was a monster. But when they looked at the way these people did things and the interactions with their senior in the past they still wanted him to come. Suddenly there was a glowing circle, and one of the new students at their school, Ravel Phoenix, appeared. She took one look at them and let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad the two of you are ok, don't worry everything is going to be alright." At her words the two felt relief and ran over to her, but the man in the silver hair spoke up,

"I hope you're not going to try anything, this space is sealed so no one can come save you, and you can't escape. Just be cooperative and let us examine your body." Ravel shivered at his words, but smiled a moment later. At that moment some mist appeared and wrapped around the three of them. The silver haired guy realized something must be wrong, and shouted,

"Grendel, get them!" Grendel smiled at getting to do something and rushed forward to attack the girls, only for his fist to be grabbed by a vice like grip.

When Murayama and Katase opened their eyes again they were in a different building surrounded by their classmates, the student council, a few others from school, and a woman with many fox tails. Seeing they were ok the student council president let out a sigh of relief, and said,

"I'm glad the two of you are ok." She then bowed her head at them and continued,

"I hope you will forgive us for not being able to protect you." The two didn't know how to react, but before they could say anything, a circle of fog opened in midair and they could see what was happening in the room they were just in. They couldn't believe what they were seeing, a red humanoid looking dragon was grabbing onto the one they saw before, and was glowing with a golden light. After recalling what the person before said, they then noticed some of the facial features matched their senior.

Alex looked at Grendel while his grip on his arm was getting tighter, accompanied by the sounds of crackling bones. Instead of showing fear or pain, Grendel was grinning like a maniac at Alex's obvious rage. He then said,

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I heard Ddraig was really strong now, but I didn't realize you wouldn't even flinch after my hit!" Alex's glare didn't falter, as he strengthened his grip even more before shattering Grendel's arm. The psychotic dragon didn't even flinch, and immediately leaped back to take in his opponent.

Alex had decided to experiment with combining the super Saiyan and draconian form, and the result was that his usual dark red scales had turned a golden red and his strength had gone up even further. With the combination of his natural defenses and now the scales Alex seriously doubted that Grendel's claws or the magicians spells could harm him now. His glare still fixated on Grendel, Alex disappeared and reappeared behind him. Before anyone could tell what happened Grendel was suddenly being blasted in several different directions from the multiple times Alex hit him.

He then turned his attention to more than a hundred magicians that were about to finish casting their spells at him. As the multitude of magic attacks rushed him, Alex didn't do anything but stand there. He was soon bombarded with hundreds of ice chunks, wind blades, fire blasts, and water jets. The attacks resulted in a massive cloud of smoke, allowing the magicians who believe in their victory before the smoke cleared. There in the center was Alex, as if nothing happened.

He then started walking forward, in no noticeable hurry before he disappeared again, and reappeared in the midst of the magicians. Suddenly there was a giant shockwave as he began his attack. All the spectators could only stand there and watched as he slaughtered all the magicians he could get his hands on. Meanwhile the numbers of the opponents didn't seem to go down at first, thanks to the multiple monsters they summoned, before Alex swiftly dealt with those as well.

He didn't use any area of effect attacks, as he didn't want to damage the equipment in the lab for investigation. As a result it took a few minutes to deal with them, before he turned to notice that Grendel and the silver haired man disappeared. He was surprised at he figured he didn't need to worry about Grendel escaping since he would want to fight him. He decided that the silver haired man, Euclid Lucifuge, most likely grabbed him and left while Grendel was recovering from his earlier attack.

As he finished dealing with the magicians, he looked at the space that was now collapsing. He went to the lab equipment and wrapped it with mist as well as he reentered Asora.

Sona watched as Alex rejoined them, conflicted in her emotions. She had wanted to attack with both groups to utilize the power of numbers, but Alex butted heads with her and wanted to go alone to cut loose. She didn't think this was smart, but yielded, and was ready to help at a moments notice before she saw the evil dragon Grendel, and how Alex singlehandedly massacred all of them. She tried not to think about it, and turned her attention to the two girls they saved.

At the school they used the grigori machine to wipe memories to deal with the witnesses. Thankfully there wasn't much they needed to wipe, but it had the defect of not wiping emotions experienced from the memories. For the two in front of them, she suspected that wiping their memories would do more harm than good, as they would most likely never forget the feeling of danger they were in.
