My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

….

Alice: this is the kitchen!

Varakiel: you wanted me to know it first don't you?

Alice:…..*nods*

Varakiel: hehe, but I must admit is so big, I like it~.

Alice:….good~.

Varakiel: alright what's next?

Alice: let me show you our training grounds.

Then alice gives a complete tour around the castle.

Back on the throne room. Both varakiel and alice were sitting together in the massive throne.

Alice: and here is the throne room where I stay most of the time dealing with being the monster lord.

Varakiel: or pretending….

Alice:….shut up idiot, I get tired of it real quick.

Varakiel: yeah yeah I know, little princess isn't ready to bear such responsibility by herself yet.

Alice:...h-hey I am more than ready, the job is just…boring.

Varakiel:…..do you mean heavy?

Alice:…..sometimes I don't know what to do….

Varakiel: hehe, don't worry about that, no one is perfect, if you don't know what to do, ask Tamamo, she is very wise she didn't serve under aliphesse I for nothing you know~.

Alice:…I guess you're right…..wait…what did you said?

Varakiel: that she's very wise?

Alice: don't be an idiot you know what I mean.

Varakiel:…you don't know?

Alice: know what?

Varakiel: Tamamo is Tamamo-no-mae one of the six ancestors.

Alice: I see…..wait whaaaaat!? 

Varakiel: you really didn't knew!?

Alice: how I am supposed to know idiot!? The six ancestors supposedly were sealed with the dark god aliphesse!

Varakiel:….maybe the evaluation of promestein of you as naïve was really accurate…..

Alice: say that again, idiot. 

Varakiel:...well, I suppose she wanted her past to truly be buried down and never be know again, even to the monster lords, woops, keep it as secret alice, I don't want Tamamo to get mad at me.

Alice:…I am just surprised for several reasons, the main being you still trust a character like Tamamo-no-mae ... .known for deceiving kingdoms to fight each other….

Varakiel: haha, you see I wouldn't ever trust Tamamo-no-mae, but I know a 101% that I can trust on Tamamo.

Alice: That doesn't make sense but I know what you mean…..

Varakiel: Mhm, there's no one more trustful than someone that manages to overcome their evil nature to turn good.

Alice: Did you create that quote? 

Varakiel: quite, the original came from an dragon from another world where dragons want to destroy the world it reads: ""What is better – To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"

Alice: I see, he sounds like a very wise fellow. 

Varakiel: I know right, other worlds are amazing.

Alice:…..say if you leave to another world will you come back?

Varakiel notices the highly serious tone that was mixed with a bit of sadness.

Varakiel: (hehe, my little princess is so cute)...hehe.

Varakiel then pats her head.

Alice:....

Varakiel: of course I will, here's where my family is and I wouldn't ever change it for absolute power, and is not like you can't come with me you know, say in the future let's go on an adventure in another world only you and me or you, me and luka what do you say?

Alice: that would be awesome~. 

Varakiel: (lily bring me the device.)

Lily: (¿?)

Varakiel: (I mean take a picture of her smiling!)

Lily: (got it!)

Varakiel: it's a date then~.

Alice: a date?.....~.

Alice and varakiel smile at each other.

Meanwhile in the drain lab on sentora.

La croix: dammit, how did she knew about this place!?

La croix deep in the laboratory, is escaping from the facility.

La croix: is there an spy!?

Suddenly someone appears behind la croix.

Alma elma: ara trying to run away~?

La croix: ugh! How come you defeated my zombies already!?

Alma: I didn't defeat them dear, I just went straight for their master I can't let you run away after all~.

La croix: laplace hold her down!

Suddenly a girl appears on the room.

Laplace: understood!

Alma: that won't work~.

Alma elma bypasses everything laplace threw at her and arrives to la croix side.

???: oh my, it seems you're in a pinch la croix~.

Suddenly a barrier between alma elma and la croix appears…

La croix: black alice….

Alma: ara? The 8th? 

Alma elma then retreats back.

Black alice:hehe, it seems I arrived on a great time~.

Black alice appears besides la croix.

La croix: why have you come here?

Black alice: don't be like that I have come to save you after all, someone told me you needed help, hehe.

Alma: hmph, thats not fun….(this is getting out of hand I have to escape…) well seems like it's my time to leave~.

Alma elma then with the power of wind rushes out of the drain lab!

Hainuwele: I won't let you run away!

The next doll quickly pounces onto alma elma.

Alma: too slow~.

But alma elma evades easily!

Hainuwele: what!? Impossible!

Alma: see ya~!

Alma elma then manages to slip away and leaves from where she came from.

Hainuwele: I won't let you!

La croix: stop!

The next doll quickly stops.

La croix: she is crealy faster than you, we have been completely tricked by her.

Black alice: Alright my job is done~.

Black Alice then vanishes.

Laplace: master la croix, black alice took our knowledge of the white rabbit.

La croix: hmph… I need to go with promestein now!

Then la croix vanishes.

In the laboratory on remina. La croix appears before promestein.

Promestein: oh it's you.

Promestein isn't surprised that la croix appeared right now.

La croix: the drain lab has been compromised.

Promestein: I know….

Promestein, still working on her desk, doesn't move her head to look at la croix.

La croix: then why are you...wait? The repair units? Did she make a rucuss before you could seal her?

Promestein:...*sigh*

Promestein then stands up and gets near a screen.

Promestein: we have been utterly and completely annihilated, la croix.

Then promestein plays a recording of what happened….

From the moment she went inside the chimera laboratory…

La croix: weird why they suddenly died and thanked to the air?

Promestein: there's someone there.

La croix: what!?

Promestein: keep watching.

Then the moment when alice meet promestein.

La croix: so is she sealed?

Promestein: no, like I said we have been completely annihibilited.

Then the moment when the seal failed.

La croix: what!? the seal failed!? How is that possible!?

Promestein:they were aware that we were researching it for a very long while, they can completely counter it.

La croix: then we have a spy in our facility!

Promestein: That would have made things easier la croix.

La croix: what do you mean?

The recording then arrives when promestein was going to use the "white rabbit".

La croix: oi, did you use it!?

Promestein: I wouldn't be like this if that was the case right?

La croix:...…

Then the moment were the syringe was floating…. in the air?

La croix: what? why is the white rabbit there?

Promestein: remember when I told you there was someone else? It was him who took the white rabbit…

La croix: who is that?

Varakiel: it was me.

La croix:!!!!

La croix completely frightened steps back!

Varakiel, who was sitting on the opposite side of promestein desk, talks.

La croix: w-who are you!?

Varakiel: promy?

Promestein:...(I guess I will need to get used to that nickname ...~.) La croix this is varakiel, the one who was invisible in that recording.

La croix:…..and who is him?

Varakiel: *cof* well it will take a lot to explain but in summary…

Then varakiel gives the same explanation that he gave to promestein to la croix…..

La croix:....and you believe him promestein?

Promestein: he already gave me living proof oh his capabilities…..we lost before we knew it.

Varakiel: don't be like that, is more like I won cheating, hehe.

La croix: what do you mean?

Varakiel: well you see right now all the attacks on the world are being completely repelled, grand noah attack was stopped by me, you came here because alma elma attacked the drain lab is it? That was my doing aswell, in short I used my knowledge of the future to won easily.

La croix:…..

La croix looks at promestein…..

Promestein: he indeed has won, if you wonder why I am still alive, is because he gave me a proposition I can't refuse.

Varakiel: mhm, I give you the same proposition to you aswell la croix, join my team, Chaldea.

La croix: and what you have to offer?

Promestein: to put it simply…infinity.

La croix: what!?

Varakiel: mhm, to be more detailed I can travel around worlds, universes, realities, even time lines, I offer you the capacity to do so aswell.

Promestein: he showed me a world that I never though possible to even exist.

La croix:....

Varakiel: if you don't get it la croix, is knowledge, new magic unknown to this world, different races, and also different truths.

La croix:….unbelievable….but why me, if you know the future and the past you should know about me.

Varakiel: of course I know, shirome.

La croix: ...

La croix then takes of her suit to reveal a zombie…

Shirome: so you know about me aswell…..

Varakiel: I only knew who you really were, but I didn't knew about your history, before arriving this world that's it.

Shirome: ¿What do you mean?

Varakiel: you see, your sister chrome has become my apprentice and she told me about her great sister.

Shirome: !! what when!?

Shirome quickly grabs varakiel from his chest.

Varakiel: calm down shirome, she is okay, like I said she is my apprentice, I wouldn't ever hurt someone related to me.

Shirome then looks at promestein.

Promestein: even though I barely know him, I can assure you that he's not a liar….

Shirome then releases varakiel.

Shirome: I am sorry….is just that chrome is the only thing I have left….

Varakiel:…..hehe, like big sister like little sister.

Varakiel then pats her head.

Shirome: !! (what is this? I am a zombie I shouldn't be able to feel heat…) how?

Varakiel: simple is a technique of another world, I can directly affect your soul with it~.

Shirome: …..incredible (so that feeling was on my soul…)

Promestein: incredible indeed…how is this technique called!?

Promestein excitedly took off her notes…

Varakiel: hehe, later promy, later, let me talk with her first.

Promestein:…fine.

Promestein then leaves the room….

Shirome: so where is chrome right now? Is she eating well? I know she can get obsessed has me while researching.

Varakiel: don't worry let me tell you about how I met her alright? First…..

.....

Shirome:...I see, so she's practicing this necromancy of yours to repair my body…..chrome…*sob*I am sorry I have been a bad sister….i have been selfish and casted you out….*hic*

Varakiel: shhh its okay little one, everyone makes mistakes.

Shirome: but what I did is unforgivable.

Varakiel: mhm it is but that doesn't mean you can accept it and move forward, child.

Shirome:…..you said your team was called Chaldea right?

Varakiel: mhm, it seems you are interested.

Shirome: to atone for my crimes I shall use my knowledge for the future….

Varakiel: if I remember well you wish to master all the dark arts right?

Shirome: ….yes.

Varakiel: well I can let you continue with those, let me tell you something since we can go to other worlds we have an infinite amount of test subjects, I am not against the use of science, biology, dark arts, or any other research classification, what I am against is the use of innocent people.

Shirome: So are you willing for us to use criminals and sinners?

Varakiel: exactly, I am not a saint, progress can't be stopped by moral problems, but my bottom line are innocents.

Shirome: I can work with that….

Promestein walks back in.

Promestein: I agree on those terms aswell.

Varakiel: great….but if it was necessary the use of a certain someone and he happens to be innocent….all the members will reunited and reach a conclusion.

Promestein: great even though it might slow things down, aslong we have you, we will have an infinity amount of research themes.

Shirome: indeed, honestly the moment I get a living body again I can't wait to see what other worlds have for us.

Varakiel: alright, then shirome welcome aboard.

Shirome: is a pleasure master varakiel.

Varakiel: please only call me varakiel, I am not your superior, everyone in Chaldea are equals no matter who they are.

Shirome: I see….very well varakiel.

Varakiel then extends his hand for a handshake.

Shirome then takes off one of her gloves and shake's varakiel hand.

Varakiel: now let's see what the future have for us my friends.

Promestein: I can't wait.

Shirome: you say chrome is going to repair my body is it?

Varakiel: mhm, right now she is practicing really hard on witch hunt village with the corpses than a corrupt noble had while researching….

Promestein: was it lily?

Varakiel: oh so the theories about that were real I see.

Promestein: theories?

Varakiel: well you see like any history it can't be perfect on my world no one knew how lily managed to be able to put tentacles on humans, one of the theories said it was your doing.

Promestein: I see, are you saying that there might be more secrets on this world that you don't know?

Varakiel: mhm, for example the east sea, the phoenix girl who guarded one of the garuda orbs even the creator of Giganto weapon.

Promestein: ah yeah Giganto, I couldn't ever replicate her to perfection…

Varakiel: is natural you couldn't

Promestein: why you say so, are you looking down on me?

Varakiel: nothing like that, you see I discovered that the one who created Giganto was someone from my world.

Promestein: ehhh!? Are you saying than there was another world traveler before you!?

Varakiel: mhm, he created Giganto following the caracteristics of a monster from another world, we call that monster artema.

Shirome: impressive

Varakiel: the reason you can't replicate her is because much of her data might be on the many languages than are from my world.

Promestein: many languages? Your world have different languages?

Varakiel: mhm there are more than 50 or so i am not sure but anyways let me tell you how I found out about the creator of Giganto or artema…

Then varakiel tells to promestein and shirome about the creator of Giganto…

…..

Promestein: I see no wonder I couldn't find about her creator he probably hide to die so no one uses necromancy on him, very clever.

Shirome: indeed, so that's why the attack to the monster lord castle was a complete failure…you're very lucky varakiel.

Varakiel: indeed I am a lucky motherfucker, haha.

Promestein: I can agree.

Shirome: so what now?

Varakiel: right….now that both of you are here I can tell you about something cataclysmic that could occur in this world if we are not careful….

Promestein: cataclysmic you say? How is the length.

Varakiel: the whole reality.

Promestein and shirome are in shock.

Promestein: black alice uh? I knew I should have never allied with her…

Shirome: but we are safe right now, right?

Varakiel: mhm, right now I am like an anchor that divide us from that calamity, right now is safe to kill black alice without consecuences.

Promestein: and why we must be careful?

Varakiel: if an event is missing from the timeline it might weaken it a little bit, yeah is a little but I am not betting on little details right now.

Promestein: so you don't want a 99% you want a 100%, I get it, then I will take this matter seriously.

Shirome: so the hero luka going to the drain lab and fighting alice xv is a must right?

Varakiel: mhm, it doesn't matter the day it happens but it must happen.

Shirome: then why you made alma elma attack it!?

Varakiel: to drag you here and have this conversation~.

Shirome: ….you're good

Promestein: impressive.

Varakiel: thanks, I learnt from the best strategist. (Tamamo is the best~.)

…

In grandgold castle.

Tamamo: achi!...uh? is someone thinking about me? It might be varakiel~.

As Tamamo says that she takes a look down on the mountain she's sitting on.

Tamamo: alright we are done here time to go back~!

Tamamo then vanishes.

Grandgold king: she surely was scary right?

Ant queen: indeed…. My dears please clean up this mess.

Ants: understood!

… 

Back in the lab.

Shirome: so that would be everything?

Varakiel: mhm don't worry just follow as I say and there would be no problem.

Varakiel then tells them their course of action.

Varakiel then appears back in the monster lord castle.

Alice: hey don't disappear like that I got scared.

Varakiel: ah, sorry promestein summoned me, let me tell you what happened….

Tamamo: oh it seems you two have been having a lot of fun without me~.

Varakiel: oh Tamamo you're back, alright let me tell you from the very start.

…..

Alice: I see so chrome sister uh? Good for you and her I guess.

Tamamo: woah so everything went according to your plan? That's to be expected from my best apprentice~!

Varakiel: hehe, you taught me so well.

Alice: so what now?

Varakiel: we wait for the others!.

Suddenly alma elma appears on the monster lord castle.

Alma: wahhhh dear I was bullied~!

Alma elma throws herself to varakiel while fake crying.

Varakiel: hehe, thanks for your hard work alma.

Alma: so what is my reward~?

Varakiel: hm…..i honestly I don't know what would you like….

Alma: so I can choose? Then let's have a date when this war is over~!

Varakiel: sounds fun.

 Alice:.... 

Tamamo:... 

Varakiel: I guess I can have a date with everyone else, is a good idea to rest after war.

Alice:….. 

Tamamo:….~. 

Alma: fufu, who told you to make a harem my dear~.

Varakiel: my heart!

Alice:…..pervert. 

Tamamo:…..thats a very…. naughty heart. 

Alma: and I wouldn't like it in any other way ~ 

Varakiel: alright, who is hungry?

Alice:me~!

Tamamo: me aswell.

Alma: I would like something too!

On heaven…

Black alice:it's no fun, goddess ilias. The fun, fun party ended before I could participate!

Ilias: that's why I told to participate or else it wouldn't go so well

Black alice: but if I did that, their heads would turn in to mush.

Black alice giggles to herself.

Ilias: and now the queens you sent to grangold and sabasa were defeated, now eden is complaining again and again.

Black alice: ahh…that third…she's frantic after the failure in the monster lord castle.

Ilias: I hope you perform better than her failure. I have no desire to continue feeding a dog after it has lost its use.

Black alice: oh my…dogs aren't cute at all. I think rabbits are cuter…

Ilias: haha..that doesn't suit you.

Black alice: you think so? Hehe….

Ilias and black alice exchange a strange laugh.

Ilias: speaking of rabbits..that "white rabbit" data that you took from la croix did you keep it…?

Black alice: hehe…whatever are you talking about? Why are you concerned with that medicine, goddess ilias?

Ilias: because promestein was defeated and they took it, the plan may go astray if they use that strange medicine….but no matter what one drinks, they won't become the same as a god. And if they ever did…being a god is not as pleasant as one might think.

Black alice: oh my…that's the first time I've heard you say something truthful.

Ilias: I'm always telling you the truth. I'm nowhere near as skilled in deceit as you are.

Black alice: oh no,no. you seem to be quite skilled at it.

Ilias: now go, black alice. Do your utmost to meet my expectations and don't mess up this time.

Black alice: of course…for the goddess, I would spare no hardship.

Black alice then vanishes.

Ilias: haha, stupid fool, you arrogance makes you unable to see that his plan is flawless, and that all of you traitors have lost already.

Ilias laughs as she looks around the cities around the world.

Ilias: varakiel, soon we will be able to stay together and create our own tale~.

Meanwhile in enrika….

Elfy: lady Micaela, the angel and chimera offensive is being repelled!

Micaela: good, just like my husband said, as long we remain together we can prevail.

Micaela says with an smile.

Lucifina: of course, varakiel is the best husband to ever exist!

Papi: yeah big brother is the best!

Vanilla: thankfully big brother sent us a letter telling us how to protect the city better!

Teeny: yeah big brother is working hard for all of us!

Gob: I was unlucky than I didn't meet him when I got that letter.

Micaela: he's working very hard for all of us…dear, good luck….

Lucifina: he must have a great teacher to create such a good plan~!

….

Tamamo: achis! 

Varakiel: bless you…Tamamo are you sure you didn't catch a cold?

Tamamo: I don't think so, don't worry~!

….

Micaela: then how are the other cities doing?

Elfy: since we managed we rescue everyone from ilias village the only casualties come from the battlefield…for ilias burg the offensive is still strong, for happiness village, the harpies can hold themselves with the help of our reinforcements.

Micaela: so everything is going well….but we must remain carefull, eden will not spare efforts to keep attacking.

Lucifina: when this war is over I will punish her a lot!

Micaela: me aswell….

Suddenly an elf get's inside the house.

Elf: lady Micaela a powerful chimeric monster has appeared we can't deal with it!

Micaela: that's our signal.

Lucifina: yay! Let's show them what we got!

Micaela and Lucifina appearance turn in that of an angel and rush outside!

…..

Rapunzel: just as master promestein said, angels sure are unreliable.

Elf: h-help!

Rapunzel: is not use to scream hahaha!

Micaela: let her go in this instant!

Rapunzel then get's pierced by several swords of light!

Rapunzel: what!? that can't be! Micaela!? I thought you lost your power and parted from the world….

Micaela: then that means I hid pretty well.

Rapunzel: and you think you can deal with me?

Micaela: I'm more than enough for one or two dogs like you, if you believe my sword of the heavens has rusted, you can gamble your life on it.

Lucifina: ah Micaela, don't take away all the fun!

As Lucifina says that she plunges on Rapunzel while being followed by several spears of light.

Rapunzel:Argh!! Who dares…what!?.. the dawnstar!? You should be dead!!

Lucifina: hahaha, the news of my death were exaggerated~!

Rapunzel:….we must retreat! Withdraw!

At her command, the remaining chimeric beasts turn around and run. Dispersing into the forest, they're completely gone after a few moments.

Rapunzel:…but you've only just extended your life a little. Goddess ilias does not forgive rebels.

Micaela: you clearly still know nothing about ilias. She would neither forgive rebels nor her own worshipers. And monsters like you…it's blindingly obvious what fate awaits you at the end.

Rapunzel: goddess ilias entrusted the processing of the old world to us. Do you think I would be fooled by such a pathetic lie?

With that final word, Rapunzel vanishes into the forest. Finally, they've all been repulsed…

Micaela: no matter how strong those artificial beings are, they still lack experience…their battle tactics seem very primitive. But still, the sword isn't as rusted as before ...~.

Lucifina: yeah! Thanks to ilias we can fight again!

Thanks to varakiel, ilias has been helping Micaela and Lucifina to recover their lost power in secret all the time…

Lucifina: But still we are not strong enough we must recover all our strength to remain at his side.

Micaela: yes, you're right.

Then Lucifina and Micaela go back into the village.

In heaven….

Eden: So what is your excuse now? The spirits from the hero luka weren't affected by your seal, in addition all your invasion attempts failed…how pathetic.

Promestein: The same could be said from you, even with the strong power of angels you failed the invasion of the ilias continent.

Eden:….isn't that because your chimeric beasts failed to perform?

Promestein: who was it that declared they could perform the invasion with only their own forces? Well, I am to blame for the unexpected fragility of the chimeric beasts. It appears I need to strive further in my research…

Eden: be careful with that flapping mouth of yours, promestein…you don't honestly consider yourself equal to me?

Promestein: no, no…of course I don't consider myself the same as a great seraph like you. (after all with the help of varakiel I can become a being more higher that a simple great seraph~.)

Eden:…if you understand, then good. Keep this in mind, promestein. I can see through you, to the plotting you perform behind the scenes.

Promestein:hah…I'm a heartfelt supporter of goddess ilias, your corcern is unnecessary. You must take heed of your own duties, though…I wonder how she thinks of you now?

Eden:…ilias trusts me from the bottom of her heart. You lesser born angels couldn't possibly understand her honorable heart as I do. Now then, I must return to my supreme command over the entire armies. Promestein, continue devoting yourself to goddess ilias…

Promestein: haha…as you wish, oh great seraph.

Eden:...

Glaring at promestein with complete hatred in her eyes…..she slowly departs from the room.

Promestein:hmph. The third, huh?. (even the first and the second weren't as arrogant as her….)

On sabasa…..

Granberia was acting as the commander of the defense of the city.

The King of sabasa: thank you sir Granberia for your support.

Granberia: I must admit you were doing pretty good so far but the vitality of vampires on a battlefield isn't a joke either…

Suddenly a guard get's near Granberia.

Guard: sir Granberia, the enemy seems to be retreating we should pursue them!?

Granberia: no, retreat back to the city and treat the wounded, and don't let any suspicious character in, vampires are know for their illusions.

Guard: understood!

Granberia: then I will take my leave, I must return to hellgondo…

The King of sabasa: Thank you for your service to my kingdom sir Granberia.

Granberia:….hmph.

Granberia then vanishes.

Then Granberia appears on the monster lord castle.

Alma: ah, berry you're back~!

Granberia:…mhm, it seems you guys are done.

Tamamo: yeah it was fun to beat traitors~!

Granberia: indeed.

Alice: and you're back just right for dinner~.

Alma: so sad that luka-boy seems to be taking a long time.

Varakiel: that's to be expected I sent him in a secret mission~.

Varakiele with several plates comes close to everyone.

Granberia: secret mission?

Varakiel: he went to help Erubetie!

Tamamo: hm? Are you saying that she needs help?

Varakiel: mhm, promestein made 4 chimeras called next dolls to specially deal with the four of you, but with all the training we had they are pretty much obsolete, expect Erubetie who didn't come with us.

Alma: oh, so that's why that girl almost caught me back then…

Varakiel: oh it seems you meet your opponent already, hmm let me explain them to you…*cof* first the opponent for alma elma, hainuwele, focused on speed and agility, created to defeat alma elma, she can control wind freely, to counter alma's use of wind magic. Finally all of her senses were removed to render her succubus attacks useless, but in order to increase her speed and agility her protective armor was stripped to nearly nothing, leaving her near defenless. In summary she is pretty much a glass cannon.

Alma: I only need to connect a good hit to finish her off, fufu good to know~. 

Tamamo: who is my opponent then~?

Varakiel: mhm…Tsukuyomi, made from genetic material gathered from hair collected from one of tamamo's fluffy tails. After the base clone was made, various mechanical upgrades were made to increase her performance. To be able to contain the incredible strength of the earth imbued in Tamamo, her body had to be focused on defense. To protect against tamamo's magic, anti-magic charms and devices were installed throughout her body. Able to use the power of the earth and Kitsune magic, she is powerful all around. She suffers from some speed performance due to all the heavy armor, but it isn't much of an issue.

Tamamo: it sounds like a lot of pain…. 

Granberia: what do you got for me then… 

Varakiel: your's well, it's the strongest of them all….Arc-En-Ciel, boasting overwhelming physical ability, she was created to counter Granberia. Her body was improved upon with muscle tissue strengthening, ultra-fast synapses, metabolic over-limit through magic, and skin reinforced with nano-carbons. As a result, her strength, agility, and defense are all unmatched by any force in the heavens or surface world. The only apparent weakness is her incredible need for energy to maintain her body.

Granberia: any force in heaven or surface you say? I want to see her try …. 

Varakiel: and then the opponent for Erubetie, amphisbaena : covered in unique armor and weapons, she was created to defeat Erubetie. An ultra-vibration blade to destroy on a cellular level, vibration armor to defend against slime, a plasma field to microwave liquid around her, she is completely anti-slime focus. Her physical ability is also extremely high, and her ultra-vibration blade is effective against normal armor too. But due all the sensitive machines, she is quite weak to shock and damage. In addition, the extreme power use of her equipment doesn't enable her to fight for a long period of time. Though lacking in versatility, she is extremely specialized in countering the seemingly-invincible Erubetie.

Alice: no wonder you said she needed help, she is in huge danger…

Varakiel: mhm, but luka and her should be enough, with the help of the spirits he wouldn't have an issue.

Granberia: but didn't you said they could seal them?

Varakiel: oh about that I already dealt with it.

Alice: mhm, thanks to him their plan to use the six ancestors seal on me was a complete failure. 

Varakiel: and I used the same thing for the spirits aswell,

In Undine spring.

Erubetie: I must thank you for your help luka….i must admit that I was in a pinch. I've shown you

something pathetic of me.

Luka: ah…no, Is okay Erubetie, big brother told me that you would be in danger before coming here, he said that a chimera specially created to defeat you would come here.

Erubetie:….i see…I am still weak then.

Luka: but for now we should go back to hellgondo everyone is waiting for us there!

Erubetie:…..

Luka: listen, this is something than big brother always tells me whenever I do something wrong…nothing good comes of blaming yourself for everything accept the failure and use it to grown up!

Erubetie:….your brother is very wise for a young human…fine let's go back to the monster lord castle all the people here are safe for now….

Then two slime come near luka and Erubetie.

Luka: ah you must be aira and aika.

Aira: hello hero luka, our sister told us about you…thanks you for protecting our spring.

Aika: yeah! You were really awesome!

Luka: h-haha it was nothing really

Erubetie: I will take my leave to the monster lord castle I leave this place under your care.

Aira: leave it to us.

Aika: yeah!

Erubetie: be careful.

Erubetie then vanishes.

Luka: t-then I will take my leave aswell.

Aira: please when you have time come back when want to reward the hero that saved us~.

Aika: it will be fun!

Luka knowing what they meant was blushing deeply.

Luka: a-alright then see you later.

Luka shily runs away!

Undine: (fufu~)

Salamander: (he is as pervert as his big brother.)

Gnome: (....)

Sylph: (yeah you're right gnome like father like son!....even though they aren't actually father and son!)

Back in drain lab.

Amphisbaena: forgive me, I made a serious blunder. I was not able to kill them, given the amount of time I had.

Promestein:…that was because the angel wasn't even able to buy you some time. That damn eden is utterly incompetent.

Shirome: all the injuries are barely withing the acceptable parameters. The plan must be delaid for some days.

Laplace: I will commence with the repairs inmedieatly

Laplace then takes amphisbaena away.

Promestein: (is that cupid here?....that damn eden Isn't even capable of getting a decent spy….)anyway, the situation is still progressing at an acceptable rate. "white rabbit" has also advanced to the clinical stage, we were a little careless about black alice, but it should not be an issue. She still has yet to realize its true value…

Shirome: the movements of black alice's subordinates require some attention, as well.

Promestein: that's right, we must never let our guard down against her. We can ignore eden, however. She's useless.

Shirome: understood. With your leave?

Promestein: yes, that is all according to our schedule for today.

With that the group disperses.

Cupid: ahhh! They're saying bad things about master eden! I need to report at once~.

Back in the monster lord castle.

???: (h-hello varakiel are you there?)

Varakiel: hm? Chisa? (What is it?)

Chisa: (we are on a bit of a problem.)

Chisa then explains the problem to varakiel.

Varakiel:....

Tamamo: ¿? What is it?

Alice: did something happened to luka?

Varakiel: no, succubus village has a problem, black alice used the barrier of Babylon in there, even though I told them the countermeasures it seems it wasn't enough.

Granberia: what? why? So far your plan as been flawless.

*comi1*

Varakiel:.....the human males started to rape each other...

Granberia:… 

Alice:…. 

Tamamo:….. 

Alma:….je. .

Varakiel: why I am the one that gets the dumb problems!?

Alice: instead of worrying about that go solve that problem, idiot! 

Tamamo: just scare them away so they wake up from their excitement.

Alma: want me to go with you~?

Varakiel: no you flying obscenity, you will make things worse.

Alma: aw so mean, you're not wrong though~, 

Varakiel: ugh, I am going out, don't miss me too much and leave something for luka and Erubetie.

Tamamo: okay~! 

Varakiel then teleports to the chief house of succubus village...

Kyu: ah varakiel you're here~!

Kyu embraces varakiel arm.

Varakiel: hello kyu….so what about the attack any one you got injured?

Kyu: nothing like that dear you see….

Before kyu can continue Lilith and lilim comes out of their room.

Lilith: you are here...

Lilim: varakiel wuu…

Lilim then throws herself to varakiel while crying.

Varakiel:…..she came to you isn't?

Lilith: yes…..we rejected her offer….you were right she isn't the kind lord of 500 years ago…..

Lilith was holding herself from crying.

Varakiel then hugs her.

Varakiel: shhh is okay to cry, let it go….

Lilith: uwaaa!!!!

Lilim: uwaaa!!!!

Kyu: oh dear….

Varakiel: take them to their room I will deal with barrier of Babylon.

Kyu: alright dear….

Kyu then takes Lilith and lilim back to their room.

Varakiel:…..come here dummy.

Then someone from another room pounces on varakiel.

It was a cute witch succubus.

Chisa: ehehe, I missed you a lot~!

Varakiel: hehe, you're as cute as ever, so tell me how did the defense went?

Chisa: with the help of Lilith and lilim we captured the one in charge on the attack but still we can't remove the great barrier of babylon.

Varakiel: leave it to me.

Varakiel then walks out of the house to the main street.

Chisa: my man is really reliable~!

As varakiel walks down the street he stumbles on a group of small imps!

Imp Girls appear!

Imp: Hyaa! The human from before! Why is he here!? I haven't finished my special training either…

Varakiel: ara, is the little one from the monster lord castle, how have you been little one?

Imp: uuuuu...I have come here to train to defeat both of you!

Varakiel: is that so? I am looking forward to how much you can grown up little one!

Imp: m-mhm, also do you know what that thingy in the sky is? It's kinda scary…

Varakiel: well, humans and monsters are in war against angels and some renegade monsters, the city was attacked before and the thing in the sky in what was left from their attack, I am here to remove it~!

Imp: ohhhh! How cool!

Rumi: ve…ry…co….ol.

Remi: uhm…

Varakiel: hello little ones I am the monster lord aide, varakiel, I leave this little imp under your care, alright~?

Varakiel then pats the heads of the two little imps

Rumi: yes…sir…she…is…our…friend.

Remi:how nice….uhm

Imp: hey I don't need for anyone to take care of me!

Varakiel: sure you do little one~.

Varakiel pets her head.

Imp: huhehe~~….

Varakiel: (they are very cute, when this is over they will become my apprentices aswell~) alright little ones you should back off a little bit and cover your ears as hard as you can, to deal with this I am going to scare everyone in here.

ROAR!!!

Varakiel then turns into Gregar beast….

Rumi: h-how cool….

Remi:so cool…

Imp: very cool!!

Varakiel: alright little ones cover your ears~.

Rumi: o-okay.

Remi: okay.

Imp: okay!

Then the little imps cover their ears.

Varakiel: (wake the fuck up you fucking idiots!!!)ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then the whole town started to shake due to the mighty sound waves!

…..

Human: ahh!!!!! Save us!! A demon has come!!!

Then several humans run away from the houses where they were locked up.

…..

Varakiel: mhm, that should do it….

Rumi: s-so powerful!

Remi: r-rami are you sure you want to fight him?

Rami: how cool!! I want to become that strong!!

Varakiel hearing those words couldn't help but smile.

Varakiel: (they are worth it~.) if you want to become this strong little one you must train very hard each day, are you sure you can do that?

Rami: yeah! Aslong I have my friends with me I can do it, are you with me rumi, remi!?

Rumi: y-yes!

Remi: o-of course were are your friends after all!

Varakiel: (mhm, mhm, I love them now, they have a huge potential!) so be it, when you end up your training here go back to the monster lord castle I will personally train you with the help of alma elma!

Rami:eeehhhh!? For real!? Yay!! Aren't we lucky rumi, remi?

Rumi: y-yeah! We might be the luckiest monsters!

Remi: b-but we must work r-really hard to not disappoint mr. Aide!

Varakiel: Don't worry I can see you will do well, you already have the attitude to grow up!

Rami: yay!

Rumi: yay!

Remi: yay!

Varakiel: Very well until we meet again little ones~.

Varakiel then walks back to the chief house.

Kyu: thank you, dear. Thanks to you, everyone here was saved.

Varakiel: I just finished the battle, you put all the effort on it, so don't put all the credit on me all of you worked hard.

Chisa: but is thanks to you that we could protect it this well!

Varakiel: fine, let's leave it at a 50/50.

Kyu: fufu.

Chisa: good.

Varakiel: then I will take my leave, come to see me on the monster lord castle when you feel like it!

Kyu: okay dear, yet again thank you, see you later~!

Chisa: bye bye!

Varakiel: mhm…

Varakiel then teleports back to the monster lord castle.

Varakiel back in the castle.

Varakiel: ~~~.

Alice: hm? Why are you in a good mood so suddenly? Did you….

Varakiel: oh nothing like is just that today I got 3 new apprentices~.

Granberia: oh? Are they good?

Varakiel: they have the conviction to grown up together, so I can say a hundred percent that they are very good.

Granberia: oh, great! And who are they?

Varakiel: they are 3 little imps, I will train them together with alma.

Alma: oh? Are they getting that kind of training? Do you think you are as good as me? 

Varakiel:…girls?

Alice:…. 

Granberia:….. 

Tamamo:….. 

Alma: a-are you kidding right?

Alice:…..no.

Tamamo:….no~.

Alma elma then looks at Granberia.

granberia: h-hey don't look at me....no. 

Alma: !!! 

Varakiel: *cof* is better if you don't ask why I am so good at it, is something so traumatic than I would preper to forget about it for the rest of my immortal life….

Alice:...okay. 

Tamamo: okay dear. 

Granberia: okay… 

Alma: alright dear, sorry if I made you remember something bad. 

Varakiel: is okay, I eventually will tell you about how I got to this point is just….i am not ready yet….

Suddenly Erubetie appears before everyone.

Varakiel: oh it seems the spring it safe for now.

Erubetie: it was you who sent luka….thank you for the support I was unable to defeat her….

Varakiel: that's to be expected they put emphasis to destroy Granberia and you.

Erubetie: so you know about her?

Varakiel: mhm let me give you a quick explanation

...

Erubetie:….i see, that's why all my attacks were futile...

Varakiel: but I know you can defeat her, youll figure out how.

Erubetie:…..you put a lot of trust on me….and I must respond to it.

Varakiel: hehe.

…..

Luka then arrives back.

Varakiel: welcome back luka, thank you for your hard work…

Luka: thank you big brother, thanks to your guidance I could become this strong!

Varakiel:…..and thank you to you and Lucifina for accepting me in your life's.

Luka: hehe.

Varakiel: luka…our enemy is strong even though we managed to repell their attacks this is but a part of their army.

Luka: I know, but we still have to fight!

Varakiel: mhm, we will never give up to protect what we care for.

Luka: yeah!

Varakiel: you must be hungry, come inside everyone is here already.

Luka: alright, I am hungry after all the fights!

Varakiel smiles to the view of his little brother rushing to the table to sit up with his companions.

Varakiel: prepare yourself black alice, your chaos ends now. I wont allow you to destroy this timeline!

Salamander: (count on me)

Undine: (me aswell) 

Gnome: (.....)

Sylph: (yeah like gnome said count with us!)

Varakiel: (thank you.)

Later at night….

Varakiel: HA!

*boom*

Varakiel: I have improved a lot….

Varakiel was alone in the training grounds of the monster lord castle…

Varakiel:....let's give it a try.

Varakiel with a practice sword at hand point it to the sky.

Varakiel then close his eyes. 

Varakiel: Wind, free my blade from doubt!

Sylph: (Here we go!!!)

As varakiel recites, he opens his eyes.

Then he puts his sword still infused with wind on his back!

Varakiel: Earth, Allow me to protect!

Gnome: (count with me….)

Then the blade infused with the two elements is dragged to his forehead.

Varakiel: Water, Clear my mind from deceit!

Undine: (very well…..)

Then the 3 elements in perfect synchronization revolt on the sword.

Then he points it ahead.

Varakiel: Fire, Purify my soul!

Salamander: (Bring it on!!)

Then the four elements converge on the sword creating a white blade.

Varakiel and the spirits: Together as one!

Varakiel then grabbing his sword with both hands cuts forward.

Varakiel: [Elemental Unity] 

Then a white shockwave is release 

*KABOOMMMM*

Varakiel: *cof* *cof* *uf* *uf* w-we made it! we finally created our own ultimate skill jajaja!

As the smoke disperses a massive crater comes into view.

Varakiel: uhaaaaa, they will get mad at me…..

Suddenly the monster lord and her knights appear In unison.

Alice, Tamamo, alma, Granberia,Erubetie : of course we will!

Varakiel: teehee!

Alice: not teehee me! what the hell are you doing this late at night!?

Tamamo: you know even my patience has limit, varakiel.

Alma: dear, don't do that again we though we were being invaded.

Granberia: uwaaaahhh, what kind of skill is that varakiel? You almost covered the whole ring…and how deep it goes?

Erubetie:…if we are not under attack then I'll go back.

Erubetie like she came, she left.

Tamamo: I can feel the breath of the four elements in there did you use quadruple giga?

Varakiel: kind of, I did with my own version of quadruple giga, I call it elemental unity! Is a complete different skill than quadruple giga, this version fix the problems from quadruple giga and you don't need to focus solely to maintain a single element, the draw back, you can only use it once a day.

Granberia: Ohhhhh! Impressive!! You must teach me!

Varakiel: hehe, I already used it today, so wait until tomorrow alright?

Alice: okay do as you want but go somewhere else to use it, some of us still need to sleep!

Tamamo: do as the monster lord says, I would get angry if I wake up like this every night.

Varakiel: alright, sorry.

Tamamo: but I must give it to you, good job!

Alice: I can agree with the fox for once, good job!

Alma: alright if you aren't going to continue on we will go back to sleep see ya~.

Varakiel: ok, sorry girls, hehe.

Then alma, alice and Tamamo leave the training grounds.

Varakiel:...

Granberia:... 

Varakiel:….*sigh* all right so you do it like this…..

Granberia:…..~ 

…..

Varakiel: alright let's go to give it a try.

Granberia: okay.

Varakiel with Granberia teleports to sentora desert….

Granberia: this place….

Varakiel: oh surprisingly you recognized it, yeah this is where I helped you to use sylph power.

Granberia: yeah....

Varakiel: alright you do as I told you.

Granberia: okay!

...

Granberia: ugh is hard!

Varakiel:of course it is, while quadruple giga can be perform even with a little unbalance of the elements, elemental unity must be done with a perfect synchronization on all of them.

Granberia: and why you said you can use it once a day?

Varakiel: is a failsafe, you can use it more that once but every further use will put a toll in your body.

Granberia: I see, how big is this toll?

Varakiel: if it's done more than 3 times you probably lose the functions of your arms for a month or more.

Granberia: that's a huge problem….but seeing the effects is not a surprise….

Varakiel: but is quite safe if you want to use it 2 times, you will feel a lot of pain for some days though.

Granberia: I see, so under the most necessary cases it must be used only 3 times….

Varakiel: mhm, but enough chatting, focus!

Granberia: yes!

....

*Kaboommmmmm*

Granberia: mhm, thats it!

Varakiel: good job!

Then varakiel and Granberia high five!

Varakiel: not even arc-en-ciel will be able to survive this attack!

Granberia: how powerful is she exactly?

Varakiel: she easily defeated you in the original time line.

Granberia: that easily?....

Varakiel: mhm, but now I know she doesn't stand a chance.

Granberia: of course she doesn't…..hey varakiel?

Varakiel:….go ahead.

Granberia: thank you very much…for allowing me to come on your adventure, showing me that I can still improve a lot, teaching me so many possibilities, you're the best thing that could have happen to me. 

Varakiel:…hehe, and you are the best partner I could have, fierce, mighty, chilvarious, kind…thank you for allowing me to see this side of you aswell~.

Granberia: ….hey I been wondering….w-who is the dragon that made you get through the dragon seal trial?

Varakiel: (salamander….is she dumb?)...…

Salamander: (.....i don't know at this point, *sigh* this girl sure is a lost case…..just go for it varakiel at this path she will never realise after you admit your relationship with the others….)

Varakiel: (you're right if we reach that point she will try to remain as my rival….)...

Granberia:I-its okay if you don't want to tell me, I was just wondering, I shouldn't be involving in your private life…..

Varakiel: (this girl *sigh* I wanted her to realize my feelings by herself but no one is perfect…is this how those heroines feel like with a dense protagonist? No wonder they get pissed off) well she's someone I meet in ilias continent.

Granberia:….i see.

Varakiel: we fought each other fiercely and honestly I began to feel in love with her on the fight, such fierce flames that spew from her blade, a mighty strength capable to defeat armies, and a calm and still heart despite the pressure of the fight.

Granberia: (….does he mean…)

Varakiel: she has beautiful green scales that glisten with her flame whenever she attacks fiercely, a pair of beautiful amber eyes that pierces through your soul!....

Granberia:... keep going….

Varakiel:a red tattoo that goes from her left arm to her left eye that overlooks her wild nature!

Granberia:....w-what else?

Varakiel: and finally her red scarlet hair that always reminds me of her flames…..

Granberia: d-don't you forget something else? 

Varakiel: and her unyielding spirit that never gives up….her name is Granberia, the heavenly knight of fire!

Granberia:y-you don't have to yell idiot, even I can realize with all those hints. 

Varakiel: well you weren't getting the obvious hints from before, so I had to use a more assertive approach.

Granberia:…a-are you sure you're fine with someone like me? I know you are in good terms with the others, s-so it's fine by me if we remain as friends….

Varakiel: I wouldn't like you any other way, you have been on my heart since the beginning I started this adventure, I wanted to get strong to be recognize by alice, ilias, Lucifina,micaela,tamamo, alma elma ,Erubetie….but the one who stayed on my heart highly was you, from the very start my objective was you Granberia!!

Granberia: t-t-t-that 

Varakiel: Granberia, would you become my partner forever?

Varakiel then shows Granberia the dragon seal that he got back then…

Granberia:...….. 

Varakiel:...

Granberia:…..i-I will be in your care….p-partner. 

Varakiel:...…..

Varakiel then stands up and walks up a hill made of sand.

Varakiel: *inhales*...…

Granberia: ¿….?

Varakiel: HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Granberia: !!! 

Varakiel then walks back….

Varakiel: s-sorry about that I got too excited, hehe.

Granberia:….so you liked me that much huh? 

Varakiel: there are no expressions to describe how much I love you!!

Granberia: a-alright c-alm down idiot I get it…..now listen I can tolerate you being with the others but not forget you're mine now.

Varakiel:I belong to my family Granberia not just you.

Granberia: I hate that part of you.....fine, but remember this words if I don't see you atleast everyday training I will drag you to the training ground even if I have to break your bones. .

Varakiel: yes madam!

Granberia: good…..

Granberia then sits closer to varakiel….

Then she leans her head on his shoulder.

Varakiel: hehe~.

Granberia: you better keep working hard idiot, or I will force you to do so… 

Varakiel: for you and everyone else I will never rest.

Granberia: good…. 

Then they relax…..

Varakiel:….~.

Granberia:…..~. 

….

Salamander: (…..i didn't expected it to go like this….)

Undine: (fufu, they look cute together~.)

Gnome: (...)

Gnome nods.

Sylph: (yeah, they are made for each other~!)

The next morning…

Varakiel: allright is time for us to go back there's much to do.

Granberia: very well….

Varakiel: after that our next world will wait us, I hope you're prepared Granberia.

Granberia: I can't wait! 

Varakiel then teleports with Granberia back to the monster lord castle.

Meanwhile in heaven…..someone is bullied….

Promestein: useless.

Black alice: incompetent…

Promestein: fool…

Black alice: obtuse…

Eden:urgh…gaah!

Black alice: third!

Eden:d…damn you! Was that "third" directed at me!?

Black alice: the first two angels became fallen, but the third was useless from the beginning.

Eden: I won't forgive you for that! I will punish you, right here!

Promestein: you should be the one worried…do you think ilias will excuse your failures this time?

Black alice: it's all your fault, after all. You only have your current position as a hand-me-down, too.

Eden: Grrr!

Promestein:now then, I think I should take my leave. I wouldn't want to trouble the great seraph so much that she holds a grudge against me.

With that, promestein leaves the room.

Black alice: oh my, she's so unsociable we should get along better….that's right…perhaps I should invite ilias along this time, and have a tea party with the four of us?

Cupid: uwa….i bet that would be a horrible tea party. I doubt your tea tastes good…

Eden: cupid, if you have something to report, do it later!

Black:…oh no, no, I don't want to disturb you. Perhaps I'll take my leave now as well. Have a nice day, master angel.

Eden:….

Cupid: well then..my report…master eden? Master eeeeden?

Eden: those two definitely hold a grudge against ilias…for ilias's sake, I must…I must…I'm the only one who truly understands her, after all…

Then several weeks later

Everyone in the monster lord castle is assembled for the last fight.

Varakiel: alright it's type to prepare ourselves, what do we got?

Tamamo stands up.

Everyone in the monster lord castle is assembled for the last fight.

Varakiel: alright it's type to prepare ourselves, what do we got?

Tamamo stands up.

Tamamo: our analysis for the four towers advanced quite well,thanks to the information provided by promestein through varakiel, each one of them has a generator that was used to maintain the seal on the spirits.

Varakiel: even though they didn't managed to kidnap them their power was still weakened.

Luka: that's right I noticed in my training that is harder to use their power.

Granberia: then what's the plan?

Tamamo: each tower is placed at the north south poles, and on the two opposite extremes to the east and west. The seal is focused through the four towers, and brings about the seal.
