บท 41: CH. 41: Light Years Away
And that's how it ended. Carrera had obliterated <Primas Imperator> and left along the way an ancient monument ―Volcano― as proof of her battle against what was considered to be the strongest weapon in this world.
Akira and his harem were watching the erupting volcano from afar, standing on the cliff that gives a perfect view of the Empire. Testarossa and Ultima did not expect anything less from Carrera and her newly-named <Doom>.
Though Saeko and Esdeath couldn't help but admire the blonde devil girl even more for all her power. But unlike Saeko, this was the first time Esdeath would see Carrera in action, it was Fascinating to say the least.
She could feel the devil extract in her blood boil, not due to the Volcano's warm breath, but because she was getting excited to see what the future reserved for her, as long as she sticks with these powerful beings.
Carrera teleported at their position still holding <Doom>. The weapon faded into her spectral arsenal due to disuse.
Akira could clearly see the adrenaline rush on her overjoyed expression, "DID YOU SEE THAT?! WASN'T THAT THE BEST FUCKING THING YOU EVER SAW??" Carrera yelled with happiness in her voice.
"That was a delightful show, Carrera. I've heard that demons had an abnormally high mastery for magic but your spectacle has exceeded my expectations." Esdeath congratulated her. Carrera laughed heavily and thanked her.
Akira waited for them to settle down until it started becoming dark. The night was replacing the noon and the glowing moon reflected its light on the sleeping volcano in the middle of the Empire. But by that time, the ones who caused it were already gone.
[[ During That Time ]]
Akira teleported with the others back to home in the Tensura verse.
"Welcome Esdeath, this is the start of something very big" Esdeath listened to Akira's welcoming and she was astonished by this city's architecture, "So this is your domain... I find it very fitting for someone like you my dear~" She responded.
"It's good to be home again, I missed toying around with the weak demon lords" Ultima said innocently.
"Yeah me too, i kinda missed that good ol' face slapping" Carrera added with a grin and her fist upwards.
Esdeath raised an eyebrow in confusion after hearing Ultima's line, "Demon Lords? Are they perhaps some sort of danger beasts?" She questioned.
Akira lifted his hand and touched Esdeath's forehead. She goes in trance and her eyes flash because of the thousands of information about this world that craves itself forcefully into her mind. She regains consciousness after a little second.
"I see..." Esdeath simply says. She takes her time proceeding the colossal amounts of knowledge she just gained.
"These... Demon Lords, they seem to be the strongest existences in this world... I'd love to see them if possible" Esdeath exclaimed with growing excitement.
"Really? I could take you to their former leader. He used to be the strongest before these three in front of you dethroned him pathetically" Esdeath looks at the three primordials who wave innocently at her. She starts comprehending the extend of these three girls' power.
"Rouge and his companion Velzard live in the frozen continent, that's their domain" Testarossa said.
"Isn't his name now Guy Crimson?" Ultima questioned.
Carrera held her laughter but still giggled, "Pfft— Who cares about his name his weak ass doesn't deserve it anyway!" The three girls start laughing all at once.
Esdeath and Saeko just shook their heads, maybe one day they'd reach the same power level, and have a pride like the three primordials in front of them.
"That sounds good, and since Esdeath's main element is ice then let's get going!" Akira said. The primordial demons summon their long devil wings and float on top of the sky.
"Wh—Whoa! U-Ultima!" Ultima holds Saeko. Then a huge pair of crimson wings emerge from Akira's shoulder blades, he grabs Esdeath from the ground and carries her.
Multiple blushes appear on her face, seeing Akira growing those evil wings and enveloping her with them felt very romantic for some reason.
"Ready?" He asks her, "Yes my dear~" She responds.
And so, the six set for the frozen continent to give a little greeting to the demon lord head and his trustworthy ice dragon.
――――――
In the farthest continent of this planet, resides the ice throne of the most powerful existence. Until it was dethroned by the newly-born dragon and his monstrous subordinates that humiliated him during the Walpurgis.
Guy Crimson has been ever since, training with Velzard day and night to try and regain his dominance as the strongest, and repair the balance that he had been maintaining for tens of thousands, until it was destroyed by the three new demon lords.
"Keep it up Velzard!" Guy shouts as he dodges Velzard's attacks while throwing some of his own.
"I'm at my limit Guy" Responds the frosty dragon named Velzard. A slender woman with blue eyes, snow-white hair and clothes.
Velzard keeps throwing huge icicles at Guy while weakening him with her ultimate skill [Patience King Gabriel] ; Its main perk is granting her an exponentially growing power the more she lasts in a fight.
Their grandiose fight has been going now for more than twenty hours this day alone. It started getting dark but Guy still had enough willpower for more training, "Another one" He says panting.
Velzard does not respond, she seems focused on something else, "Velzard, I said we fight more" Guy says but Velzard does not respond. She looks at the dark snowy sky with sparkling golden analyzing eyes. She was using [Perception] to analyze the surroundings.
"What's up?" He asks her, Velzard turns to face Guy with a worried expression, "They're coming..." She says.
"Wh-What who's coming?" He asks with a growing worry of his own. Velzard gets closer to Guy in a hurry, "It's them Guy! Testarossa, Carrera, Ultima and three other presences that I don't recognize! They're coming towards us with ridiculous speed!" She says as anxiety covers her conscious.
Guy starts worrying and thinking of a way to get away. But his pride wouldn't let him escape, his must face his future, escape was never an option. He abandons all hope of fleeing and prepares himself for the worst case scenario.
"It's too late." Guy looks at the shooting stars in the sky. A purple, white, yellow and a red stellar shadows growing by the second.
The land in front of Guy and Velzard explodes and makes all the snow and clouds to dissipate for a moment, though it was still dark due to the nighttime.
They look with terror at the four gigantic pairs of wings that disappear to reveal the people who came to annoy them during their training. Testarossa, Carrera and Ultima ; They all smirk at Guy and Velzard.
The two companions notice some unfamiliar faces, two humans and one other person that does not have any aura at all. Guy tried to start by killing Saeko and Esdeath but he felt like if he did so, he'd die before reaching them.
"Well well well... If it isn't good ol' Rouge, wassup?" Carrera mocked Guy with her question.
The primordial Red began feeling a growing rage dwelling up within him. His aura started leaking, in response Carrera unleashed a small portion of her unrestrained divine presence. Guy couldn't help but take a step back instinctively.
"So this guy is a demon lord?" Saeko asks feeling the demonic pressure that envelopes Guy Crimson.
"St-Stop this—" Velzard spoke but before she could do anything, a long pointy fingernail was pointing at her neck, ready to pierce through.
"Shhhh... This is about you little dragon..." Ultima said as she held Velzard from the chest with one hand while the other limb was threatening to cut her neck. Velzard calms down and Ultima lets go of her.
Guy's expression becomes very dark and he is ready to attack at any time. But to everyone's attention, Akira lifts his hand and tells the primordial demons not to attack. The three demon girls look at Akira who has a smug expression.
He walks slowly towards Guy with each step filled with
"So you're the infamous leader of the demon lords, Guy Crimson is it?" Akira speaks with an evil smile.
"And who are you" Guy asks with his guard up, ready to strike.
"The voice of the world had personally announced my birth yet you've already forgotten?" Akira asks with sarcasm.
'Shit...' Guy thinks, this was the worst timing for him to encounter Akira. He was confident to pull up a good fight against this newborn dragon with no experience, but if he inherited Veldanava's power, it could be a problem.
"I'm not here for you, I just want you to give Esdeath here—" He points at Esdeath and the mature girl waves at him with a smile, "—A good fight so that she can understand the might of a second tier demon lord" Akira says.
The primordial demons almost laugh at this. Guy is unnerved because he's been underestimated into an extensive degree. Guy starts emitting his deadly aura, "I won't be an experiment rat for your shenanigans. I will not go down without a fight." Guy pridefully speaks.
Guy finally starts to take action. He disappears from their sight at high speed then appears in front of Akira with his fist aiming for his head. But before he could land the hit, Akira snaps his fingers causing Guy to abruptly disappear, for good this time.
"Wh-Where did Guy go to?!" Velzard asked with a growing worry, Akira turns to face Velzard then give her a little twink, "I sealed him in my Imaginary space, for now" Akira says.
Velzard sighs in relief but starts worrying once again because Guy was still sealed. To be able to effortlessly neutralize an ancient demon lord with thousands of defenses and resistances...
Velzard understood that Akira was probably more powerful than Guy if he did not need the assistance of any artifact to seal him. She wanted to test that out but it was a certain death.
"Such a shame Esdeath, you won't be battling against the strongest demon lord today" Akira sighs, "Such a disappointement, maybe another day..." Esdeath speaks with a smiling grin. She was enjoying very much the frosty landscape and the cold temperature of this place.
As the two continue their talking, Velzard transforms into her dragon-form. She gets enveloped in a white windy blizzard from which emerges two huge light blue dragon wings.
"She's a dragon!" Saeko exclaims in shock. This was her first time seeing such a legendary creature from the japanese mythology in person. She was amazed by its majestic shape but couldn't help to feel a bit of dread in distress of being in its presence.
She lets out a loud roar as the snowy storm disappears to reveal a huge silver dragon with blue scales.
"PREPARE TO DIE!!" She yells out, Velzard flies to the sky then shouts snow projectiles from her mouth. Akira jumps from his position dodging her attacks that crush the earth.
"I need to get you somewhere safe" Ultima picks up the surprised Saeko and takes her to a more secured place.
Velzard loses sight of Akira because of all the snow she projected. She looks around and sees Carrera and Testarossa. Remembering what they've done to Roy Valentine and Carrion, her rage intensifies, "YOU'LL REGRET WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO OUR FRIENDS!!"
Velzard launches toward the primordial demon Carrera. She summons a portal to her imaginary space then grabs <Doom>. As Velzard approaches, Carrera charges her weapon to send one fatal blow that'll get the berserk dragon for good.
Velzard feels her instincts screaming at her to get away. The more she approaches the yellow demon the more the feeling gets more remarkable. And as Carrera pulls the trigger, Velzard barely deviates from her trajectory then sees beside her a golden Lazer beam with an almost infinite firepower.
'Calm down... You've almost fallen into her trap right there...' Velzard thinks. Carrera clicks her tongue then looks at the dragon with a furious face, "DAMN IT! Why did you have to move??" She yells.
Testarossa mocks Carrera as she watches the fight from afar, "What's that? Can't a goddess like you even capable of defeating a mere dragon? Perhaps I overestimated your potential~" She teases.
Carrera's cheeks become red in embarrassment because of Testarossa's naughty remarks. The yellow primordial then grabs out two spectral pistol and fires hundreds of spectral bullets at Velzard, "DAMN IT!!" Carrera yells.
Hundreds of shooting projectiles invade the snowy sky and Velzard quickly founds herself in a big disadvantage due to her big body that makes it harder to dodge the attacks.
"GYAH!!" She groanes, feeling her wing pierced by a single spectral bullet. Velzard quickly reverts back to her normal humanoid form then easily dodges every shot.
Velzard takes her hands up and creates a huge compact snowball. She throws it at Carrera, and the latter dodges it by jumping away.
The impact causes a huge explosion that creates an enormous blizzard, blinding everyone's eyesight. Velzard breathes heavily but expects to have dealt a considerable amount of damage.
But then, something appears behind Velzard causing her to flinch. She turns around to see the figure but feels large pain and gets thrown away at fast speed.
The Frost Dragon gets ejected a few miles away then crashes on a nearby frozen peak. Velzard pulls herself together then looks around to see what just hit her, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" She asks in surprise.
"Don't tell me that simple punch knocked you out, I'll take my time before finishing you Velzard~" Says the dark figure.
"IM—IMPOSSIBLE!!" Velzard sees Akira, with one of his hand being that of a dragon with a pitch-black color and the cosmos on its surface. Akira could manipulate his body and transform any part of it into what he desires.
Velzard understood that Akira indeed had a dragon form but is still not deciding to use it. But now that he's showed himself, the fight could go on.
