EPISODE 11
Fritz walking at the lakeside with his 2 maids beside him.
Fritz: Tell me whats the matter Jubei.
Suddenly the demon messenger of Azazel appeared in front of him bowing.
Jubei: Greetings my lord. I have got to tell you an important summoning of all of the big ones.
Fritz had a little shock and he sent his maid back and told them to not come back. He then sad at a chair beside the lake. He asked Jubei to state the matter in clear details.
Jubei: On the full moon night the kingdom is planning to launch a full scale demon's banquet. All the important entities will have to appear in the banquet. There is also a report that Wakehem will join this banquet this time and you're have been summoned to the honors of this banquet as the official ruler of Elderia.
Fritz puts a hand on its head and sighs with exhaust.
Fritz: That bastard now even called Wakehem this time does he wants to destroy the nation again. I'll have to reach the current matter of this topic. You're dismissed you may take your leave.
Jubei: Sure. See you at the banquet soon.
Jubei disappears in thin air. Fritz calls for the maids
Fritz: You two call the chancellor and make preparations to head out to the royal capital. An important matter has occurred in the capital and I've to reach as soon as possible. You two pack my stuff and hand it to me at the entrance. I'll wait or you two.
Both maids: Yes Master!
Scene Lahmos
In a bed
Arnos: Why is it so smelly??(half awake by foul smell)
He sees his face rub against something soft. He then grabs the soft stuff and after a moment fully awakes.
Arnos: Huh?
Arnos stands up with a shock and scream. Kirios wakes up with big yawn.
Kirios: Good Morning Man what are you doing here early in the morning.
Arnos realizes the smell he felt was of Kirios' silent fart and the thing he touched was his butt.
Arnos: Damn it!(he faints)
Kirios: Did I do something wrong.
Kirios stand up and stretches and washes his face at the sink and looks at the mirror. He looks at the razor near the sink and again looks at its face with a thought to cut his beard. He takes it and shaves it down. His face looked much young as if he was back 20-25 years old. His face looked much sharp and he cleaned of the sink and opened his buttons of his cloak. He had much better physique then a normal person. He then took a bath at the inn then got ready with his stuff. After picking Arnos on his shoulders he went out of the room they booked at night and went towards the restaurant where Lilith was resting. As he entered the charisma of his new look made all the female customer hearts flutter with excitement or rather attraction.
Woman1: What is he? Is he an angel or what?
Woman2: He is so dashing and handsome.
Woman3: His body is so exhilarating. I should try to hit on him before some other one do.
Mitsumi finally comes at counter and as she sees Kirios with Arnos on his shoulders but she can barely recognize Kirios in the new form. His looks were dashing enough to leave a woman fall in love with him in seconds.
Mitsumi: Is it really you Kirios San??(with blush on her cheeks)
Hima: Whoa Uncle Kirios you looks so handsome. What did you do to yourself?
Kirios: Hahaha just a little shave and some bath I guess.
Hima: But what is Uncle Arnos doing on your shoulder?
Kirios in mind: He was just knocked out the moment I woke up.
Kirios: Hahaha nothing much serious. He is just fine I guess Hahaha.
Hima pulls Arnos' hair to see if he wakes up. Arnos lifts his head as he starts to gain some consciousness.
Arnos: Where am I?
Hima: Uncle Arnos you woke up and why were you unconscious.
Arnos looks at Kirios who was carrying him but as he looked at him he freaked out and stood up in surprise.
Arnos: What did you do to yourself Kirios? You changed so much from an old-drunken looking elf to a beauty.
Hima: He said that he did some self-grooming.
Arnos in mind: Damn man he looks like he could just kill some ladies with just a single look. Being a pervy man like him. He might stand chance to go out with many ladies with a look like his. Even my looks are too shabby in front of his.
Arnos: Never mind that now we should first visit Lilith and check if she gained her consciousness.(feeling kind of jealous)
Mitsumi guides them to her room. As she opens the door, Lilith was upright and looking at the nature outside the window beside her bed. She shifts her attention to the guests.
Lilith: Good Morning Arnos and Kirios!
Both: Good morning to you Lilth!
Mitsumi: You two sit down comfortably while I bring up some food from the kitchen.
She takes her leave and closes the door.
Both of them sit down on the chair beside the bed.
Lilith: I don't know how to thank you for saving me.(with some tears in her eyes.) I was no longer had the will to live after I saw the heaven's door. I had no regrets of leaving the world behind since I knew that you two would be there but how do I say this. You put on your last efforts to save me but what I did was just tried to kill you. I just want to say
(her head bends down)
A passage of silence spreads between her lines and a sudden crying voice. She rubs her eyes with the regret. Arnos puts his hand on her head.
Arnos: The gone is gone. Past is something you can't change but the present is what that will decide your future and you know we are still the old friends we used to stop beating around the bush and join us in order to get this work finished for once and for all.
Lilith looks up at Arnos with tears in her eyes and wipes her tears. Her face was red and sniffed in some air then nodded with agreement.
Kirios: Well there we go again having another crewmate on board. Well welcome Lilith and lets have feast and all cost on me.
Lilith: Hmm (nods with a bright smile)
Both Arnos and Kirios sees the old Lily they remembered in the past with look on her face.
Frey: Arnos the base contract is still in effect you should try to remove this contract somewhere outdoors and be prepared of the penalties that might come this way.
Arnos finally catches a breath.
Arnos: Lily would you mind if come with us for a second.
Lilith agrees and they both grabs her hand and support her to the outdoors. They reach a open field near the dungeon.
Arnos: Kirios be on alert and be ready of the situation. I'll try to break Lilith's demon contract but be ready of the penalty we might face. Lily you should also stay on guard. So let me begin.
He puts his hand on her head. He closes his eyes.
Arnos: Frey issue the Libertas Order!
A light that gathered in front of them ignited and the demon contract was released. Lilith was about to fall but Arnos grabbed her just at the moment.
Arnos: Kirios be careful! Be aware of your surrounding. We must protect Lilith at all costs.
Kirios: I won't repeat the same mistake again.
Kirios made a careful stance and raised his perception of his surrounding.
Arnos: What is happening? Why is no one appearing?
But suddenly the sunny day was clouded the clouds began grumbling. The lightning strikes with great amount of mana. Arc Demon of rank 3 Helios came in front of them.
Helios: Let's make it quick and get on with the final execution shall we?
He raised his hand and used the lightning magic and advanced version of fire magic that only capable mages are able to use. Kirios used Wind emperor to dodge it and Arnos used Blitz dash. They used their most prominent move. Arnos used [Thunder God- Lv.6] to control the incoming and parry them back to the demon. The demon was also fast to escape and knew that his lightning magic was failing in front Arnos. But as he moved Kirios had already made earth magic traps to cease the demon and Arnos used strangling roots to disable the further movement. He further used slicing strings to restrict him from moving any longer.
Helios: Daaamnn itt!! I'll kill you insolent brats.
Kirios jumped with Gileword and just as he was about cut his neck suddenly the body slide into the ground and eventually appeared the blood from beneath the ground. They felt an ominous amount of mana flowing that was much stronger than that of any enemy they had encountered. Arnos was sweating from the intense lurking bloodlust. They both activated their blood lust to cancel the amount of pressure on them.
A voice: Didn't knew that bastard was so weak but anyways now its time to finish the left work. I'll make it quick so don't you worry.
Arnos: Kirios raise your guards to maximum limit.
Suddenly Lilith wakes with cough of blood.
Lilith: We must escape!
Arnos grabs Lilith and Kirios and used Blitz dash to escape the ground. They made in just time before the upper layer of ground turned to metal and crumbled in a spherical metal ball. Arnos drops them to their feet. Lilith had gained consciousness by the that time and was ready to face the impending disaster.
Lilith: Its him. He has arrived. The one who tortured me to hell all these years. Thorns(Arc demon rank 1).
Thorns: It seems that some old shits still have stamina in them. But whatever this shall finish you.
He appeared within from a cloud above the scene.
Lilith: He was able to cast long range magic but his specialty was not only this but the undead army he was able to summon. We need to flee before he cast another spell. The ground beneath them again began to tremble. Kirios used Wind emperor to create a jump force beneath them and launches them high in the air. Thousands of metal spears appeared from the ground. Suddenly again came a barrage fireballs in front of them in mid-air. Lilith used gravitation spell to displace themselves from the attack. She began to control their body in mid-air to avoid them from falling into the ground studded with the spears.
Lilith: I'll try to hold you above but try to strike him down at his neck. His body is fully made of metal.
Arnos uses the slice of heaven to strike him down but thorns had extreme speed to escape such attacks.
Arnos: Damn it! I am too slow. I need to get a close range so that I could use that technique again.
Kirios jumps in with his Gileword and used continuous air slashes with the help of skill Wind Emperor. But still he was enough to maneuver from those attacks with precise counter attacks to block some of them too while still attacking. The rage was extreme but still they reached a limit where they knew that the further they attack recklessly while fighting mid-air.
Kirios: It's been a while since we are fighting mid-air. Even master did train us for such situation but these fights use a lot of stamina.
Arnos: Kirios I am going heat the way up so stand back.
Arnos used [Prometheus Authority Lv.8] heat began to rise up inside Arnos. He opened his mouth and a large amount of heat surrounded him. Thorn again charged the metal spears but before they could hit Arnos the surrounding around him became extremely hot to handle. A big heat wave melted the spears down before they could hit him. The elemental immunity he gained avoided the excessive heat effects till some extent for Arnos. He finally released the heat blast which burned down the vegetation around the area.
Lilith: This ought to finish him off.
Thorns: Heats only melts the metal but can't destroy the metal itself.
Thorns who was like molten metal again molded into molten metal again restructured himself to the original shape. Arnos who finished all the mana from the final move was breathing with extreme exhaustion since it was his first trying such a skill of extreme amount of heat. He barely had any mana left.
Kirios: Hey what does it mean? Ho
Lilith coughed some blood out.
Lilith: I am overstraining myself and won't be able to hold up much longer. It would be better if you try to strike his real body. That thing was just a mere puppet the real one is still hiding far away.
Kirios: So be it. Its my turn.
He charges at full speed and with enormous pressure that defied even thorns at that moment.
Thorns: Idiot! Look down.
Kirios sensed danger and swirled himself in air striking the metal spears that rose up from the below. He lost the target in the turmoil but kept swirling to defend himself. On other side Lilith was struggling to parry all the continuous spells coming to attack her. Her health was getting much worse.
Arnos: Damn its getting hard.
Arnos was still trying to defend with his scythe. Some spears still bruised him but was still hanging there on the edge.
A voice across Lilith's ear: Still looks shitty as always huh Lilith.
Lilith Frowned and was scared as heck.
