001 - What Makes it Hard to Go Home ?

What do I want to do with her?

Hmm...I don't even remember this woman's name, how could I do something with her?

"So, what's your name? And why do you want to attack the conference here?" I asked the woman.

The woman, upon hearing my words, immediately replied firmly, "My name is Katerea Leviathan Lord Lucifer, I want to kill the two of the four satans in this place to continue my plan to dominate the world and make the devil the ruler of the world."

...Huh? Dominate the world? Doesn't she know that there are many gods in this world that are much stronger than them?

Do they think that with a little boost of power from Ophis, she thought she can defeat all the gods in this world?

I could only facepalm hearing her words, while Katerea looked sweaty and scared when she saw my reaction.

"Is there something wrong, Lord Lucifer?" Katerea asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong is that you think with a little extra power from Ophis you can defeat all the creatures in this world. What about the users of Sacred Gears who are stronger than you? I don't know what you're planning to do with all this, and it's not my concern, but all you're doing is reducing the already dwindling number of pure devils," I snapped.

Katerea, upon hearing this, seemed unwilling to accept my words. I was sure they had a plan to dominate the underworld, but she hesitated to tell me because there were others people here.

But I had no more time and wanted to return home quickly, so I began to release my astral aura and directed it towards Katerea.

"Ughh..." Katerea immediately fell to the ground as if something was pressing down on her.

Seeing her like that, I began to want to make her tell us about their plans, but suddenly I could hear something.

"Keep it... Dissect it... I know you want it... Experimenting with new species... You, as a researcher, want it..."

Ughhh, I immediately grabbed my head. I felt a strong urge to dissect it body and examine how a devil's body works... Damn this stupid astral instinct.

I had to finish this quickly and leave. I ordered this creature to surrender to the devils here and inform them of their members' plans.

I really didn't have time to listen to all of this.

After that, I quickly snapped my fingers and made time returned to normal.

The sounds of fighting and many explosions started to reappear again.

"What's wrong, Rei?" Ophis asked me because everyone could see me holding my head.

But I did not answer Ophis and turned to the other devils. "I ordered this creature to tell you what they know. You devils just need to ask about their plans."

I could see that they were confused by my words, as I spoke to them in a commanding tone, which was different from my usual tone when talking to them.

After that, I released my hand held by Ophis and began to create a portal to return to my dimension.

I immediately entered the portal without further ado and left them all behind.

After coming out of that portal, I could see that I had returned to the place where Sturm and I had trained before.

I wanted to close the portal before anyone could follow me. Ophis already knew the location of my dimension, so if she and Grisella wanted to come here, Ophis could easily open her own portal.

But before I could close the portal, suddenly the headache became stronger, and a dark bluish aura started to emanate from my body.

12 black wings emerged from my back and began to emit a purple light that changed the color of my wing feathers from black to purple.

I really had no more time, and usually when this happened, Lyria would absorb the power I released and return me to normal.

But Lyria is not here, and I couldn't reach her location, so I could only resort to plan B.

"Come, Fenrir!"

After I said that, a magic circle appeared in front of me, emitting a blue light, and eventually a girl with blue long hair and two large ears on top of her head appeared.

Her hands and feet were also covered in blue fur and had long, large claws. She also had a very long and thick blue tail; usually, I would play with her tail, but now was not the time for that.

"What's up, Boss! Why did you summon me?" Fenrir spoke after she appeared.

But after seeing my condition, she began to tilt her head, and her large ears moved in confusion.

"Have you been consumed by your instincts again?"

Hearing her words, I could only smile with a little difficulty. "Yes... so, just do as usual."

Fenrir, upon hearing that, immediately nodded and began to change her expression to a serious one.

Her long blue hair rose up and she became enveloped in a blue and red aura.

*Booom* The area around Fenrir started to crumble, and she began to sink into the pit she created because of her energy.

Her tail grew longer, touching the ground, her claws became larger and sharper, and her eyes started to glow red.

Like a beast finding its prey, Fenrir gazed at me with a smile, showing her sharp teeth.

"Alright, this should be enough to bring you back to consciousness, boss" Fenrir shouted towards me.

"Let me touch you, boss. Don't activate your abilities or try to deflect it!" Fenrir prepared to do what she intended to do.

Upon hearing that, I just nodded and tried to lower my power as much as possible.

Fenrir sensed my decreasing power and began to leap and run quickly towards me.

Soon, she was in front of me, her right hand clenched, ready to strike me.

"Take this! God Slaying Punch!" Fenrir spoke and her hand immediately hit my face.

*BAAAM* I was struck by Fenrir's punch and was thrown far away.

Meanwhile, as I was being thrown back by Fenrir's attack, Ophis and Grisella emerged from my portal and could see the blue-haired girl enveloped in a red and blue aura striking me.

"Hmm?" Grisella was confused by all of this because from the strength she sensed from Rei and the blue-haired girl, Rei was still much stronger.

And this girl was able to hit him and throw him like this. it was either Rei intentionally let the girl hit him or Rei let his guard down and became careless.

"Boss!!! Wait for me," Fenrir immediately ran after me as I was thrown.

*Boooom* Finally, I stopped being thrown and touched the ground.

But because of the force of being thrown, the ground looked shattered, and I was buried in it.

"Ow..." my cheek hurt so much. But in this way, I could feel my astral instinct slowly fading away.

I wiped the blood coming from the corner of my mouth; it seemed that Fenrir's punch had injured the inside of my mouth.

I could see golden blood on my hand as I wiped away the blood using my hand.

It had been a long time since I had seen my blood like this...

I then tried to stand up, but before I could do so properly, I suddenly heard someone running towards me.

I could see that it was Fenrir, and soon she crashed into my stomach, making me fall again.

"Ughhh..." Fenrir was on top of me and sniffing my scent.

Fenrir's tail was seen wagging rapidly, and her ears were doing the same.

"It's been a long time since I smelled your scent, boss," Fenrir spoke as she sniffed me.

What did she mean by 'it's been a long time'? It was just last week since we last met, and she too sniffed me back then.

After she's satisfied, she lifted her head and looked at my face.

Uh oh... her stare, I know exactly what she's going to do...

And true to my suspicions, Fenrir immediately started licking my face to mark her scent.

I could see her tail and ears moving even faster; it seemed like she enjoyed doing all of this.

I chose to let her do it because thanks to her, I could return to normal.

After some time, Fenrir had licked me enough and stood back up.

My face is covered in Fenrir's saliva, i eventually used magic to clean myself.

Fenrir didn't seem to care that I did that because even though her saliva was gone, the scent could still be detected on my face as her scent wouldn't be easy to remove.

"Thank you so much, Fenrir. Thanks to you, I could return to normal."

Fenrir, upon hearing that, immediately salute and joked, "Anything for you, Boss!"

Seeing her like that, I gently stroked her head. She looked at me while smiling and allowed me to pat her.

After a while of patting her head, I finally decided to stop. "Alright, let's go back to Sturm. I'm sure she heard the sound of your punch."

Now returning to Grisella and Ophis who were still standing in front of the portal.

They both seemed to be waiting for Rei and the blue-haired girl to return, but eventually, Ophis decided to close the portal created by Rei.

"Hmm? What are you doing, Ophis?" Grisella asked Ophis, who appeared to be directing her hand towards the portal.

"I want to close the portal before someone can enter here," Ophis replied to Grisella.

"Ah, you're right. In that case, I'll help you," Grisella then approached the portal too.

They both seemed to be trying to close the portal, but they found it difficult to do so.

However, after using more power, they both managed to see the portal starting to close bit by bit.

But suddenly, before the portal could close completely, they saw something coming out of the portal and passing through them quickly.

"Owch!" that something immediately fell to the ground behind them as it flew too fast through the portal.

After the portal closed completely, they both looked back to see who had come through.

They could see a girl with long red hair wearing a school uniform still on the ground while holding her forehead.
