Chapter 17

Haise Pov

By the time that I've arrived. The Order and their recruited Crimson Knights and Mages, has already reached the front yard of Lescatie. Well, I suppose I could've been fashionably late but hey, that's dumb. But at the same time, I'm not making Kakashi proud. Would've used the 'I got lost in the road of life's bullshit.

"Haise! As I feared and predicted, they've teleported through red and blue portals.!" Liliana suddenly yelled as she ran towards me.

"Hm, better than the walls already crumbling before my arrival. What's the situation.?" I asked, putting on a mask that unnerved those around me.

"They haven't attacked yet, but they're not going to ask for anything peacefully. Also, what's with the creepy mask?" I ignored her last comment.

"Liliana, dear. You do realize that while I may have already shown my face, I'd rather not be figured out by The Order. It's a simple case of bamboozling my dear. Plus, they won't exactly know that the person who humiliated one of their Heroes, is me." Upon saying that, my Black and White hair became pure white.

I remembered having the Metamorph mod, which allows me to become who I kill. But it has changed, from killing, to just focusing on the image of who I want to be.

Her eyes widened at the sudden change of my hair.

"How did you-" I cut her off, placing a finger now with black nails on her lips.

"No need to trouble yourself of how I can, just don't be alarmed when I massacre them." With that, I took off my coat, revealing a skintight black suit with white stripes on my wrists.

"They brought no mercy, why should we show them mercy?" Summoning the three Dragon Horns, I blew on each one, letting out Obsidian, Aurora, an Kirin for the whole battlefield to see.

"Obsidian, Aurora, Kirin. Stayed here and guard the City. If one of the Crimson Knights and Mages breach my line, your jobs are to kill them. The ones in White, you can capture them." The three let out a growl of approval.

"Liliana, the thing I'm about to show you. Is something I don't have much control on, once I'm on the field. It's only a matter of time before I snap, and if that happens. Only you can maybe keep me from killing everyone." I warned her ominously.

"Haise, what do you mean it's only a matter of time?! What you're saying doesn't make sense at all! I know you're powerful, but taking on Five Hundred thousand men alone is outright suicide!" She yelled, drawing in more attention from everyone else. Even Druella has started to glare at me.

"Lily. Look at me." I lifted her face, her once clear eyes are on the verge of releasing tears.

"Let me explain why I'm going to massacre them. Those Knights in Black and Red, are more than just a danger to Mamono. They are a danger to the whole realm." That made her pause.

"You may see them as Men, but no. They're anything but Men. They're cultists, they've abandoned their Humanity to serve the Old Gods." Her eyes widened, surprised gasped echoed throughout the walls as even some started screaming in fear. Hell, the Shoggoths who are normally calm and collected are slowly descending into panic.

"You mean, those Crimson Knights as you call them. Are allied to the Eldritch Gods?!" I nodded, much to her horror. She fell on the ground, eyes wide with fear.

"But, that can't be! Mother and the Gods that allied with her imprisoned them within the abyss!" She panicked, even Druella has started to haphazardly contact her Mother.

"That's the thing, their goal is to release them. Unleashing untold and unknown horrors throughout the entire world, not even Wonderland would be safe. How they decided to ally themselves with the Order, I don't know. But clearly those bastards know nothing as well." I clenched my fist, knuckles turning white and my teeth ground on each other.

"That's why I'm eliminating them, right here and now. Nothing but total annihilation is a must against them." I picked her up, placing a caring kiss on her forehead.

"It is also why I'm not holding back. So Lily, can I trust you to stop me if I dive into madness because of this ability of mine?" She didn't even hesitate as I received a kiss filled with intense passion and love that I almost recoiled from the sheer amount of it.

"Yes, you can count on both me and Deonora. We won't let you lose yourself, whatever this thing you are mentioning about." I gave a dry chuckle.

"Then I have no worries." Giving her one last kiss, I jumped off the wall. Landing with a heavy thud a few meters away from the front lines.

"Now then, who's ready to dance?" Without any order from The Order party at all, all the Crimson Knights roared and charged at me. Hah, it seems like the Taint is still attached to me. What a pain. Or maybe because they can sense that I've been in contact with their Gods?

I smirked under my mask, and my exposed left eye turning Black and Red. Angry cracks formed around it and the closest Crimson Knight, got impaled with a pulsing red tentacle coming from my lower back.

I cracked my finger, the sound echoing making the Order Knights, Wizards, and Heroes recoil in both fear and disgust at the haunting crack my finger made.

Blackened blood oozed from the wound I made, it's armored body spasming and twitching as the red glow within it's helmet died out. I then heard someone from the Order praying to their Chief God.

"Sorry but, your God won't be able to save you. And neither will I be willing to show mercy, not when you allied yourselves to these cultists." I flicked my Kagune to the side, discarding the body in a uncivilized manner.

The Crimson Knights resumed attacking, but their swords didn't even wound me. But rather, making a sound similar to metal hitting metal on my skin.

Using only a single Kagune, I sliced those around me with each, their upper bodies flying from the force of the cut. I jumped back, avoiding a Fire Ball from one of the Crimson Mages. While I may be immune to attacks when using this, I can still feel the heat. That and I don't want to find out how a Ghoul body reacts to magic.

After creating distance, I quickly formed Hand Seals with my hands.

"Fire Style! Great Fire Annihilation!"

I breathed in, and exhaled a stream of flames that quickly became a massive wave of angry orange flames to their ranks. Burning those unlucky enough to get caught by the jutsu, and those unfortunate enough to not form a barrier in time.

Their numbers quickly dwindled, my left Ghoul eye now sporting three commas within them, but instead of black, like that of a normal Uchiha Sharingan. Mine is reversed, red to black, and black to red. After all, it is on my Ghoul Eye.

There's only Four Hundred thousand left of them, while my Jutsu did engulf some Order Knights, Heroes and Wizards. The majority was safe behind erected barriers thanks to their Wizards. The Crimson Knights and Mages however, took the heaviest blow to their numbers.

I wonder how Liliana is reacting to all of this.

Meanwhile, Liliana Pov

A single attack from Haise just devastated their numbers. The once lush green grass of the plains in front of Lescatie, now nothing more but blackened remains.

"Well, that was something. I wasn't expecting something like that to happen." My sister commented when Haise used whatever spell that was.

"Is Haise some sort of male Roper? And what is with that Magic. Not even I could let out such potent spell without draining myself all of my Mana." Sapphirette added in. Her hands clutched around her head, as she tried to make sense of how Haise was able to do such a thing.

"No, I don't think so. As a Roper Queen, I can immediately tell. Haise however, is not a Roper, that much I can tell. But having a singular tentacle, does brings questions." Francisca said, a hand beneath her chin as she too, tried to make sense on how Haise has a tentacle.

"No, that wasn't magic. I was informed the day after we spent our time, that he has multiple sources of energy within him. I believe he has Chakra, Chi, and Psi. Whatever those three are." I said, making them eye me for more answers.

"As to how do we classify what he used, well just ask him after, including how he has a Tentacle." I said, ignoring their stares.

"Well, isn't that move a surprise." I turned around to find Deonora and a legion of Dragons, Wyverns, and Wurms arriving through a teleportation circle.

She is sporting a blush, which isn't a surprise considering she's a Dragon.

"To think my Husband have something like that, hidden underneath his sleeve." She commented, much to my dismay.

"We're in a middle of an ongoing war here, Wife or not. Now's not the time to fantasize about Haise when we can keep an eye out, just in case of an ambush from which side." I said, annoyance clear in my tone as I crossed my arms underneath my chest.

"Since when did you focus on military defence?" I groaned at my Sister's teasing.

"Ever since Haise chewed out the remaining Blue Ice Flowers about not looking up and being too lax." She raised a brow, before glancing at the clearly uncomfortable Blue Ice Flowers, except for Wilmarina and Elt.

My eyes were once again drawn in by Haise performing yet another spell, only this time. Plumes of smoke erupted behind him, and once the smoke cleared. Thousands upon thousands of clones appeared behind him.

Oh my, he didn't say anything about a cloning spell... No! Down Lily, now's not the time to get horny over the implications of said spell.

I shook off the blush I have on my face, except Deonora who's blush only grew redder.

"Whatever you're thinking, expel such thoughts. We're at war, not watching a play." All of us turned to our left, where on a tower, Haise or a clone stood on it. His feet planted firmly on the tip of the roof, and a bored frown is present on his face.

"I'm just a clone, here to answer whatever questions you may have." Is it me or Haise feels too arrogant right now.

"And apologies for my arrogant tone, it is merely a side effect of using such ability of mine. After all, in my own words, the best way to erect fear within enemy forces, is to show how incompetent and and little meaning their existence is to me." By my Mother's Name! Who are you! Where's my Hubby!

"Who are you! What did you do to my Hubby!" I shouted, enticing a raised brow from him.

"As I've explained, tis merely a persona the original likes to use. Using his Jutsu and being not arrogant is a slander to his name, the original might consider showing you who I mean. But for now, ask away." He folded his arms, walking down the slope of the roof, only to stick to the side of the wall like a spider rather than leaping off the edge.

He then did something weird with his hands, forming signs before slapping the floor. When an earthquake erupted and to our surprise, a wooden platform erupted within Lescatie and formed a large cage. Inside were clones all having the same expressions.

"Substitution Jutsu"

Inside the wooden cage, the Haise Clones are now replaced with every single Order Knights, Heroes, and Wizards. Our disbelief apparent as many of us had our mouths open.

"As the name suggest, I substitute myself for another. It can be an item, a rock, or someone. Helps you in the middle of a fight." The clone explained, much to my satisfaction, as I, have already concluded what it does before his explanation.

"Rub that smug look off your face, only the original can be smug in this situation." The clone frowned, but I didn't feel any hostility towards me.

"Then explain what the fuck did you just do! I need to know!" And of course, Sapphirette tried to tackle him, only to be stopped mid air when the clone raised his hand up. Telekinesis.

"And how many times do I have to tell you, tackling me only delays the answers you want. Now sit down, or I make you sit down." As expected, his authority when it come to others overwritten their own instinct. Except for me of course, we have a back and forth.

"What the original did there is called a Jutsu, a Jutsu is the mystical arts a ninja uses in combat or daily life. Either way, it requires Chakra, which is the Physical and Spiritual energy within one's body to perform Jutsus." The clone explained.

"But, don't think that anyone could do it. Without proper training, and reserves. One cannot perform the basic Jutsus. And seeing how none of you possess any means to control the flow of Chakra, and Mana is different. However, what I mean by controlling the flow. The Spiritual energy within Humans is literally just a crudely shaped pool, both overwhelming and underwhelming." The clone arrogantly said, much to the annoyance of everyone else.

"Basically, the Spiritual energy within you, is only able to be expelled in a slow but uncontrolled manner. And all of you lack Chakra Networks, which is basically a second pair of nervous system." He finished.

Sapphirette was about to continue, only for an explosion to erupt on the middle of the battlefield. Bodies of Crimson Knights and Mages flew in every direction as Haise is in the middle of it with both arms extended.

"Almighty Push" The clone snorted. "Wasteful, but the effect is much appreciated."

"By the Maou! What else can he do!" A random Mamono yelled in disbelief.

"Many more, in fact, he haven't used a quarter of his abilities." The clone stated in a matter of fact tone.

"Anyways! What happens if one tried to perform a Jutsu?" Sapphirette returned with full force.

"One will die immediately." That made her pause from asking another question.

"If one decided to use a Jutsu that requires Chakra far larger than one can muster." He finished, much to everyone's relief.

"Then, can you please explain why Haise has a Tentacle?" It was Francisca's turn to ask.

"Four actually, and no, it is not a Tentacle. It is called a Kagune." The clone answered, all the while showing four, red, pulsating Kagune tentacles that erupted from his lower back.

Now that I've got a better look at him, or rather, his clone. His outfit, alongside his ominous red and black eye, does make him look far more menacing. I don't doubt that if he decides to attack at night with this, he'll be mistaken as an actual monster.

His body suddenly lurched forward as he clutched his stomach. But before I could get near him, he raised a hand to stop me.

"No, don't. Shit, I expected this to not happen any sooner but I guess I'm draining stamina far faster than the original anticipated." The clone said.

"What? What's happening?!" I asked in concern, Deonora herself looked like she's ready to fly in and swoop Haise away from the battlefield. Even Obsidian, Aurora, and Kirin all looked ready to take his position.

"No, just don't come close! I need to dispell. Lest I, alongside the rest and the Original, lose control." With that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke. We then returned our focus on the massacre, calling this a battle is an insult at best.

But to both Deonora and mine's horror. Haise is... Devouring a Crimson Knight.

Casting a scrying spell, we got a closer look at what exactly is happening. But, instead of it being some sort of mistake, Haise truly is devouring a Crimson Knight. All the while his Kagune lashing out at whoever gets near.

"Hehe~ For a tainted piece of shit. You taste delicious, like fine stake. Hah~ maybe it's just the Hunger speaking." He said, eye wide with a small pupil. Is this what he meant by losing control? Even his voice is slowly getting distorted, and a blackish purple substance forming over his mask, rather, pushing it off his face.

The straps of his mask broke with a snap, his red and black eye with three Tomoes disappeared, showing nothing but white. And a new bird-like mask formed over his face.

"I never planned on using this to be completely honest, but after knowing you pieces of rotten shit are here. Holding myself back will be a mistake." He spoke with his distorted voice at no one.

"So~ Hungry~" His mouth watered, saliva escaping the edges of his mouth, the organ itself forming into a twisted, demented smile.

Two more Kagune erupted from his lower back, but instead of more tentacles, what came out was something similar to the lower half of a Oomukade, but far more menacing.

The enemy numbers is no more than below a Hundred thousand, and still dwindling faster. But then, we all saw a bright purple glow at the back lines. The feeling of dread suddenly assaulted our senses, like the very air itself has be corrupted by something unknown.

A larger, more menacing Crimson Knight, but from the looks of it, it's more akin to a Golem. A dark metal Golem.

The Golem roared at Haise, a sound so frightening that even Druella and I shivered from the sounds of metal grinding against metal, alongside the sounds of a thousand screams.

Haise jumped, intending to kick the Golem, only for the Golem to catch him below his shin.

To my horror, Haise spun. Twisting his entire leg, spurting blood and exposing bone in order to land a devastating kick to the Golem's head.

I feel my lunch coming back up, as many of us aren't so lucky, as they released the content of their stomachs. Both from Haise's earlier display, and his utter disregard for his safety.

But what is most disturbing of all is the fact that Haise didn't flinch from his stunt. As if, he's done it far too many times.

"Normally I say it hurts and insult you till you die, but I'm used to the pain. It's not like you could do more." He unknowingly answered my question.

He landed on his good feet, raising his destroyed left leg, only for it to make a sickening sound as it repaired itself.

Haise then cracked another finger, the sound sending shivers down my spine as I hug myself from the disgusting squelching crack it made.

The Golem picked itself back up, only to reveal the 'head'. It's 'head' is nothing more but a black shelled crab. It's mandibles clacking in a disturbing manner and it's black beady eyes disturbed me to no end.

Only for Haise to easily pierce through the armor with all of his Kagune, ripping it apart.

The crab thing fell, tried to escape but was killed by Haise slowly stepping on it with crazed, sadistic pleasure.

"I planned to kill you all with a single Jutsu, but it's not fun. A man needs his own way to vent out stress other than sex you know?" His deranged ranting continued.

"Now stay still and let me devour you all one by one." He shoved his Kagune down straight through the ground. An earthquake was created, and out of the ground. A crisscross pattered Kagune of massive proportions erupted from the ground, slammed down, and crushed anyone who got caught of it.

The Crimson Knights and Mages are down to their last hundred. And Haise slowed down. Only for another mad grin to cross his face.

He leaped, landing on a Crimson Knight, and started ripping the Knight to shreds. From clawing to biting, he continued, until there was nothing left but the armor and black pool of blood.

I need to stop him.

Casting a spell upon myself, I jumped off the wall, ignoring the cries of Druella and the other Mamono. This also caused Deonora to follow my lead, flapping her wings with such force that the wind knocked those unprepared off their feet.

Once I got close, I casted a barrier around Haise, preventing him from attacking and the enemy attacks.

He turned as soon as I reached him, but instead of hesitating. All I heard from him was.

"Food" My heart briefly stopped, the world going into slow motion as his hand was about to take of my head, when Deonora came just in time to tackle him to the ground.

Thinking quickly, I casted my strongest binding spell on him, and even that is barely holding on alongside Deonora.

"Haise! Snap out of it!" I yelled, ignoring his thrashing and the pounding of swords and spells hitting the barrier.

"Liliana! Get back!" Deonora yelled just in time to allow me to dodge an incoming Kagune. Which was immediately cut by Deonora with magic.

"Haise! Get back to your senses! This isn't you!" I continued. Casting a spell to hypnotize him, but something is blocking it.

"You smell delicious, can I take a bite?~" I blushed, bit managed to reel it in. Damn his Baubles or whatever he called it!

"Liliana! Hurry! Your spell and my hold won't last much longer!" Deonora yelled, straining all the while to hold Haise in place. Thankfully, his Kagune are cut off by Deonora using magic.

I steeled myself as a stupid idea came to mind. I placed both my hands on Haise's cheeks, keeping him in place and stared directly to his white and third eye on his forehead.

"Haise! I know you can hear me! Please, come back to me, to Deonora! Don't lose yourself, you promised didn't you! That you'll stay with me until we die of age?! Please! I don't want to feel alone again!." That made him lapse briefly from his struggle.

Then with him somewhat calmer, I executed my plan. I loosened the corset around my chest, allowing me to lower myself and undo the strings behind my neck, revealing my shoulder to Haise.

I then moved closer, and without hesitating, he bit on to my shoulder. The pain is unbearable and I bit back a scream from escaping my mouth.

He took a chunk off my shoulder, and swallowed. For a brief moment, he still wasn't calming down, only for his white eye to become red and black, then back to his normal grey ones. The bird-like mask crumbling and his struggle ending.

"Lily? Deonora? Shit. I did lose control." He said, regret laced within his voice.

"Don't you ever do that again! You hear me!" I chastised him, only for him to chuckle bitterly.

"Sorry, I just had some bad experience with the fuckers. Next time, I'll do my best to not lose control." He said, trying to reassure me.

"And thank you as well, Deonora. If you weren't here, Liliana would've had a harder time subduing me." He thanked Deonora, who preened at his praise.

"I want compensation for this." Deonora said smugly, much to Haise's amusement.

"Maybe after, because right now. There's still like at least a Hundred thousand of them left. And damn, your barrier is strong. I guess I really did improve you." He joked, I slapped him playfully.

"Now if you excuse me. I need to finish this." He said while standing up, he then summoned a Golden Gauntlet, and it glowed gold. Mana suddenly gathered around him, and Golden armor formed around him, but leaving his upper body unarmored.

Golden jewelry then formed on him, forming a neckpiece and two earrings that looked like pure gold appeared on his ears.

Red markings appeared on his chiseled body, and his arrogant aura just jumped up a tier. His once pure white hair now golden blonde and grey eyes into piercing ruby red.

"Hm, to think I'd stoop so low just because I have a grudge against them. Justified but still a childish behavior." He reprimanded himself.

"Now my dear wives, please keep your awe at a minimum. These mongrels shall be nothing more but ash." He raised his hands, and a golden rippling portal appeared above him. Out came from it, a golden flying ship with emerald wings appeared.

"Vimana! Body Flicker!"

As soon as Haise said those words, we are now atop the flying ship. With him sitting on a throne made of gold.

"Heh, now behold! The power of Gilgamesh! The King of Heroes!" Haise yelled, and without any delay. More golden portals appeared, only smaller but far too many to count, all aimed down at the remaining Crimson Knights and Mages.

"Gates of Babylon!"

Our eyes widened at what came out of the portals. Every weapon and treasure imaginable, came shooting out from each portal like glowing arrows. But what caught my attention the most is how varied each weapon feels, some are Holy, some Demonic, and there are those which I can tell are Mundane.

The assault on his enemies resulted in nothing more but complete and total annihilation. Swords and bodies littered the ground as soon as the dust settled.

"Hmph. Mongrels like them are nothing but insects, to think I lost control. But enough if that, the job is done. Now let us return, and see what our prisoners of war chooses to become." He said with arrogance in his voice. Well, he did say it's a side effect of such abilities.



























Well, I managed to sneak this piece in my schedule. Fuck, that was a doozy to write. But anyway, hope you peeps enjoyed the Chapter. And yes, in the next chapter will be some clearing up on such things I've written. That's all and SOUL out!
