Capítulo 19: Mission Succes
~28 August 2006~
*Serafall Leviathan POV*
I dodge another fire bullet coming at me at high speed. After dodging the attack, I quickly launched my counter attack by creating an ice spike underneath the enemy. While I want to use my signature attack, I can't do that here. Not only is this place too dense with trees, but there is also a problem with the other young devils. I don't want a friendly fire, especially if the person getting hit by my attack will not be able to withstand my attack.
Because of that, I decide to use my ice magic. However, even though I know my spell can freeze even fire, the fire that cast by the vampire in front of me cannot be frozen. I don't know how they do that, but I know that a regular fire cannot withstand my ice spell.
I snap from my thoughts when another fire spell appears in front of me. With a wave of my hand, a blue magic circle appeared in front of me to block the incoming attack.
"Ice Rain!"
I create a magic circle in the air, and suddenly, a rain of ice spikes appear. Sadly, my attack was quickly blocked by the vampire in front of me. Before I could make another attack, the vampire that held a staff in her hand began to cast a spell and fire it at me. Coming from her staff is a powerful gust of wind that almost throws me away. Before I could even touch the ground, the staff user fired another spell at me, but this time, it was a fire spell. With a flick of my finger, a wall made of stone erected from under my feet.
I use this chance to prepare a counter-attack. I create a dense fireball in my right hand and use my left hand to destroy the wall stone and then fire the fire toward the vampire in front of me. Before the fire could touch the vampire, another vampire blocked my attack with his hand and flew at me at blinding speed. In a blink of an eye, the man appeared in front of me and punched me right in the face. I barely block his attack with my hand.
'Hard!. His punch is almost as hard as Falbium!'
When I see he wants to punch me once again, I grab his hand and throw him to the ground and quickly create an ice spike and stab him in the chest. Before the ice spike could pierce through his chest, a purple aura blocked my attack. Seeing my attack failed, the man then pushed me away before leap away from me.
'I never thought that vampire fog could be used like that. They usually use it for escaping and searching for prey.'
I snap from my thoughts when my danger senses scream at me. I leap to my left as I see the tree behind me get slashed in half. I look at the staff user in the back and see him pointing his staff at me.
'Invisible attack? No, it was a shadow attack. He creates a long thin shadow that he uses like a wire. It was effective in this situation. Not only does the forest around me hide the shadow, but it also gives him the ability to hook the shadow line to the tree around us and make his trap.'
I wave my hand at the staff user in the back and create a dome made of ice. I can see he tried to destroy my ice dome but failed. That ice dome is made using my demonic power and also a unique trait I get from my family, the Sitri clan. Not only is the dome dense, but it also has a magic resistance in it, making even a high-rank spell useless.
"Now, the only one left is you…"
Before I could even finish my sentences, the man in my ice dome disappeared from it and suddenly appeared above me.
"Quick Teleportation?!?"
The man opens up his hand, and suddenly, many magic circles appear in the sky and begin to bombard me with his spell. I create a massive magic circle to block all the attacks. While blocking the bombardment from the air, the other vampire decided to attack me. He appeared beside me and punched me in the back.
"ACK"
I glare at him and create a multiple magic circle and bombard him with my spell. I look to the sky and also glare at the man above me before pointing my finger at him. Magic circles appear in the air, and this time, I match him in the number.
The continuous use of spell continues to happen for at least a minute before suddenly, the leader of the vampire appears in the back and says.
"We are retreating!"
After the man says that, his fellow vampire disappears from their spell lock then appears beside their leader.
"Are you accepting that you don't have enough for power to decide to whatever we are allied ourselves to the Tepes clan or not!"
"Oh? Really? Then please look behind you."
I look at my back and see the young Devil is beaten. Diodora Astaroth is the worst of them all, leaking blood from all over his body. His eyes, nose, and mouth. I can even see his expression like someone has been through an agony.
How?!? I was looking at their situation the entire time!!!
"Ahhh, let me explain that."
As if he knows what I'm thinking, the man explains it to me.
"While my friend here is a master of Hand-to-Hand combat and also a master of magic, I'm a master of illusion and poison. I create an undetectable illusion to throw you off and use poison to finish them off."
"Bastard. Do you know what you have done? This will create a war between the Vampires and Devil races."
"Then we will let them come. KAKAKAKAKAKA. Not only we successfully kill the promising Devil, but we also get ourselves a souvenir."
Suddenly I can see Diodora's peerage floating toward him and unconscious.
"Goodbye, Dear Serafall. May we meet again but this time I expect an army. Oh, I must inform you that you should take care of them. The poison will kill them if it is not treated quickly. KAKAKAKAKAKA"
I grit my teeth as I see them disappear with Diodora Peerage into the fog. I want to chase them, but if I do that, then I know the rest of them will be dead. I quickly use my scan ability and see that the vampire is right. There is a poison inside their body that slowly weakens them from the inside.
This is bad. Every spell I use is not strong enough to neutralize the poison, and I can't heal them without proper equipment. Is there any healer in Romania? Wait, Lypha said something about Lady Amelia being the best healer, didn't she?
I create a massive magic circle around us and quickly teleport to the Faysummit. I hope they will help us.

~Vongola Castle, Faysummit~
*Lexian Vongola POV*
I sit down on the couch and release a relief breath. We successfully fooled Serafall Leviathan, one of the four maou's. In that fight, I let Medea and Carol distract Serafall while I cast an illusion around Serafall with the combination of Mist and Rain flame. While Serafall fights both my Mist and Cloud guardian, I fight the young Devil using Amelia creature. However, while I can fight one of them in one-on-one fights against one of the demons and win, fighting all of them at the same time is difficult. Not only do I need to fight four high-class devils, but I also need to fight against their peerage.
In the end, I use my Plan B. Amelia controls her mosquito and then gives Diodora a lethal virus that will kill him instantly. On the other hand, the rest of the Devil only gave a hefty dose of Rain flame that made them weak and unconscious. If someone uses a spell to detect what is wrong with them, it will say that they are poisoned, but the truth is they are only weakened to the extreme and will recover most of their power in a week.
I snap from my thoughts when someone knocks on the door.
"Come in."
As the door opens up, I see one of the castle guards walk inside with his animal partner.
"Forgive me to interrupt your time."
"It's fine. What can I do for you?"
"There is someone named Serafall, come to Faysummit begging for Lady Amelia assistance."
"What?!?"
"Someone named Serafall to come to Faysummit"
"No-no-no. I heard you the first time. What I want to know is how she knows about this location?"
"Ahhh. I think it was little Lypha that led Serafall to our city. However, at that time, she is under the name of Sera and conceals her magic making her look like a low-class devil."
This is a disaster. Is she coming here to attack us? Wait…
"Did you say she came here begging for Amelia's help?"
"Yes, My Lord. She also says that she has the authority to reward us for our service."
"I see. Very well. Come on. We should meet our guest."
My guardian and I walk toward the guest room where Serafall is located. As I step inside the room, I see the young Devil from before is still unconscious from that fight. On the side, I see Serafall sit down on the chair, looking at the people in front of her in worry.
"Excuse me."
Serafall snapped from her thought and looked at me.
"My name is Lexian Vongola, the Lord of this land. What can I do for you?"
"My name is Serafall Leviathan, The current Satan of the Underworld. I come here to ask for your help."
"To heal them?"
"Yes."
".... Very well, but you must say how this happened. It was rare to see one of Satan get beaten like this."
Amelia and I walked toward the unconscious Devil in front of us and activated our flame.
"What is that? It feels warm and calming."
I ignore her and begin to drain all the rain flame inside their body. Gradually their pale bodies start to regain their color.
I can see Serafall's shocked face from here. Is there no healing spell for
After a few minutes, we finished taking care of all the patients and sat down next to Serafall.
"How? I tried mid to high-level spells, but it did not work on the poison. You also didn't have any antidote in hand, so you are using a spell. How?"
"We can talk about it later. I still want to know how this can happen."
"Well, it's like this…"
Serafall then begins explaining about their diplomatic mission in Romania to create an alliance between the Tepes clan and the devil race. Still, somehow, they get ambushed by an unknown group before they could even reach the Tepes castle. Lastly, the Tepes did not send any reinforcements to help them in the fight.
I release an internal relief sigh. Looks like Medea mist successfully fooled even one of the Satan. It looks like we are safe from their wrath. I don't want to go to war with the Devil yet.
"...And that is all."
"I see, Yeah, those extremist groups are annoying."
"You know them, Mister Vongola?"
"Call me, Lexian."
"Then call me Serafall."
"Very well, and yes, we know about them. This group has been seen around here and terrorizing the area. So far, they only do a small battle to search for prey, but I hear a rumor that their group is aiming for the Tepes throne."
"I see."
"Yeah, but I must say that I was surprised to see that they were able to distract you long enough to kill one of the young devils under your care."
I can see Serafall clench her fist.
"They used an underhand tactic that fooled me. They are already planning for this attack, I'm sure."
"Really?"
"Yes. The leader of that group brought the right people to fight me. They have Hand-to-Hand combat master, Spell Master and Illusion, and Poison Master. With two people distracting me, the Illusion and poison master finish the job."
"So, what will you do? The thing I know is that there will be a fight. While I want you to win, I can't let you fight around my land. I have to protect my people as well."
"I don't know. I need to report this to my fellow Satan. If there is a fight between the Devil and the Tepes clan, will you lend us your land to be our temporary base?"
"What is it for me?"
"... I can't say it now, but I'm sure you will get compensation."
"I see. Then I can't permit you. Give us your offer before I let you use my land to be your temporary base."
"Very well. How long do you think they will wake up?"
"Three days."
"Then I will tell you in three days. I already sent some emergency calls to the other Satan. The clan leader of Amon and Glasya-Labolas will arrive here tomorrow morning. My fellow Satan also came here to take his relative corpses with him. Is it okay with you?"
"You already call them here. What can I do to stop that? I will let them in but make sure they don't cause any trouble. While I don't think I can beat you guys, I'm not a pushover either."
"They will not. I swear it in my name."
"Good. See you in three days. Also, you can send the payment for their treatment anytime you want."
I get up from my chair and walk away from the room.
