Chapter 2
"adding Lighting module, set power to seven, and fire, and it's done!" Gabriel enthusiastically cheered as he finished crafting his new weapon. A Psi Gun, a mixture between magic, science, and programming.
"I'll call it, Bolt Flare. Yes, now that's a cool name" He grinned to himself. Of course, he has other spells he made such as, Air Wall, Flash Fire, Earth Shaker, and Scald. Bolt Flare is a combination of Electric and Fire, that both has the ability to either stun or burn an opponent.
Air Wall, is his anti-projectile spell, which can also be used to knock back enemies. Flash Fire, is an instant flash of fire that blinds enemies and set fire to them. Earth Shaker is basically an Earthquake, and Scald is super heated water.
"Thank you pokemon for the inspiration" We will ignore that.
"Now let's test it" He got up and exited his house. He then faced a straw dummy he made from scratch and aimed his Casting Asistant Device at the dummy. A bar then appeared to the left side of his vision that measures his Psi energy.
With a pull of a trigger, almost all of his Psi energy was consumed and a crack of thunder can be heard for miles away. The straw dummy itself was charred and has small embers on the ground.
He felt himself get exhausted after realizing the spell he made costed almost all of his Psi energy. Which is bad news, because if once would go below the threshold, the Spell will instead take your vitality as Psi Energy, damaging oneself in the process.
"Ok, I might have to lower the power. But then again, I plan on using it to obliterate or cripple my enemy to the point where one will have third degree burns" Of course, this was his precautions to whatever dangers this world had to offer.
"But I will have to create a new spell for Element resistant creatures" He told himself as he wiped his brow and head on back to his house.
Storing his CAD within his inventory, he decided to continue figuring out why a Kunoichi has infiltrated his abode.
"So, a ninja woman. Hm, I have a few ideas but it's either just a normal Kunoichi, or something else. But why am I feeling like it's the latter?" He shivered at the thought.
He sighed, as he opened a lonely chest next to a bookshelf inside his Bedroom. Once he opened the chest, his eyes widened as he saw what was inside. He then pulled out two Sabers, which he jokingly named Kanshou and Bakuya.
"That's right... I have these mods as well!" He then excitedly went back out to test out his discovery.
He hastily created a straw dummy and held both weapons with both hands. With a grin, he dashed in. Weapons ready to strike at any moment. Once in range, he started with a left stab, followed up with a right diagonal slash, spun around to hit another diagonal slash with his left, and while spinning, he adjusted his right to a reverse grip and aimed for the neck.
He pulled out the blade, kicked off from the dummy and dashed right in again to stab both weapons to the stomach and ripping them out to the side, dealing maximum damage to the dummy. He then created distanced and jumped, spun mid air and slashed both blades through the chest of the dummy, cutting it in half.
"Hah... That was amazing! Spartan Weaponry and Epic Fight is like peanut butter and jelly!" He grinned to himself and out of instinct, he spun both blades on each hand like he has handled blades his entire life time and put them on his back with a cross pattern. And much to his surprise and realization, the Sabers have stayed in place behind him, complete with sheaths.
"This is so cool! With Epic Fight Mod, literally giving instant mastery over every weapon, Spartan Weaponry has to offer. Ah~ I feel like I'm in an anime!"
He then pulled out the blades once more and shrunk them to be stored back to the chest, when he was struck by an idea.
"Hehe~ no rest, must learn!" He immediately went inside to grab the chest and he brought it outside. With an excited grin, he pulled out a Great Sword. Held it in both hands, and admired it's elongated beauty.
"While I don't like the design of the Epic Fight Mod's Great Sword design. But looking like Guts while doing cool shit is definitely a boon" He heaved the mighty Blade over his shoulder and posed.
"Why ignore possibilities when you can prepare for them, hm?" He set down the massive blade and started gathering Hay Bales and sticks to create a literal small army of dummies, to test out each weapon with.
================================
"Preparations are done Druella, however. Is all this really necessary? We are dealing with just one man after all?" Wilmarina confronted Druella.
Druella glanced at the prepared Black Ice Flower and her sibling's Carriage.
"It is a necessary precaution, Dear. After all, who knows what else this person can do" Druella reassured Wilmarina of her decision.
Wilmarina nodded, and walked over to Let, who is wearing Demon Steel armor without the helmet.
Druella watched the two share a kiss and reminisced about before, when Elt was not as built as now. She giggled at remembering how Elt struggled to keep up with training as she watched him under the guise of another Soldier.
"Druella! Are we ready to go?" An excited voice broke her of her musings, but smiled nonetheless at her sister.
"Yes, everything is ready" She confirmed, much to her sister's delight. Liliana then hugged Druella and hurried off to her Carriage, as Druella spotted Francisca walking up the steps.
"Glad to see the Queen finally doing her duties" She bantered. Only for Francisca to roll her eyes and smiled at Druella.
"What can I say, after finally being able to be with my Beloved again, after all those years. I just wanted to catch up" Francisca retorted.
"I understand that, but must you have to constantly have sex with him since a month ago? Sure, he may be a Incubus, but he still needs rest" Druella mused.
"Don't, I know what you mean. That and you just want to milk him yourself" Francisca grinned at figuring out Druella.
"What can I say, I need Spirit Energy to sustain myself, that and I want to spend time with my Husband too" Druella countered.
"Fine, the others are also raring to go. Anyway, you should be going, your sister is looking too impatient already" Francisca told Druella, who then looked at the Carriage, that now has Liliana pouting through the window.
"I suppose you're right, Goodbye Francisca" Druella waved and Francisca waved back. Once she got in the Carriage, Wilmarina rode on a horse alongside Elt. With a signal, the group marched forward with the Kunoichi leading them.
Hours went by as the group travelled on a path, magically made by Druella herself, to allow passage for the Carriage.
As trees were being cleared by her magic, she could faintly hear music being played over the horizon. All thanks to her impressive hearing and a little bit of magic.
"Can you hear it, Sister? That faint sound of music?" Liliana asked her older sister with a smile.
Druella nodded, but kept quiet. For all her time traveling and turning Order territory to a Demon Realm, she has never heard of music like that before.
"I kind of like it, it sounds so festive and up beat" Liliana continued.
"I guess we are getting closer to our destination. It's already afternoon so, we might arrive a little before dusk" Stated Druella in a matter of fact tone.
"I wonder is he's willing to let us stay the night" Liliana spoke, as her sister only shook her head with a smile.
"No need to guess, we can always 'convince' him to let us stay" She smirked, as Liliana only stuck out her tongue.
"No fair! You already have Elt!" She pouted.
"No worries Lily. I am quite happy being with Elt" Druella reassure her sister so that she would stop pouting.
"I'll believe you, but if you so take a chance to overstep my own, I'll tell Mom" That made Druella sweat a little. While their Mother loves them all so much, she doesn't like it when they fight each other as any parents would be so.
The two continued to talk about each of their own achievements. While Druella spoke about how she felled Lescatie, Liliana spoke bout how she learned more from the Royal Makai.
A few more hours passed, and as the sun has set itself. They finally arrived at the beautiful Stone Walls the Kunoichi reported.
"Wow, the walls are more beautiful in person than those images" Liliana said, as she walked over to touch the walls. Only to step back as a loud noise interrupted their trance.
"Please keep your hands off the wall, thank you. Please state your business" A male voice spoke from somewhere. They all went into a defensive formation except for the Lilims.
"Where are you! Show yourself!" Wilmarina yelled to no one, only for to hear a rather unamused chuckle.
"And why would I do that? Currently, all of you are trespassing my private land, and if you don't give me a good enough reason. Well, let's just say..." The male voice trailed off, unnerving the Black Ice Flower and the Kunoichi.
When Wilmarina tried to reply, Liliana stopped her and broke off from the defensive circle.
"Uhm, we mean you no Harm good sir. We were only curious to why is such a structure has been built close to my Sister's border." Liliana tried to reason with our Protagonist.
"I see, I am willing to clear the misunderstanding, however. No conflict must be performed within my Compound, as I'd rather not exhaust myself before a good meal" The voice gambled.
The group looked at each other, before Wilmarina signalled them to lower their weapons.
"Thank you for your cooperation, please wait a moment" The Voice spoke and a few moments later. The walls shook a little, and revealed a path, as a part of the wall slowly got swallowed by the earth.
The group were surprised at such machination, as they have never before seen such an entrance. Once they were done staring with amazement at the gate, they found themselves making eye contact to the owner of the land.
What caught their attention most, however is the fact that the man has two hair colors. A silky black color from the top and halfway down is pure white. His friendly grey eyes, shined like polished steel and his smile made the non-married Mamono, including Liliana blush a bit.
"Greetings everyone, I apologize for my attitude earlier. I was rather on edge for private reasons" The man apologized and smiled even more with his eyes closed. The action made the ones blushing harder as they thought of him to be cute and adorable.
"Please, come in. I'd hate to keep my guests outside" He allowed them to enter, as he himself turned around and walked back inside.
The group followed and found the area beautiful. Each structure within appealed to the beauty and many were amazed by the Windmill and Watermill, as they passed it. They also found the animals to be in great condition, and the two Horses in perfect health.
What took their attention again however, was the white Mansion that the Kunoichi reported before.
"Oh my, it really is beautiful" Liliana whispered to herself as she continued to gaze upon the structure.
"I apologize for not introducing myself earlier" The man smoke again, taking off their attention from the house to himself. "But if anything, I am Haise. Owner of the compound you are visiting"
He then bowed and the group returned the gesture.
"I am Druella, fourth-born of the Demon Lord, and this is my sister. Liliana, fifth-born of the Demon Lord. I am pleased to be your acquaintance, sir Haise" Druella introduced herself and her sister, while the rest followed up with their own.
"Ah, once again, welcome. Although, there is no need to call me Sir. Haise is fine" The man said "Well, I suppose you lot could use some rest, please come in. There is enough room inside for everyone"
He motioned them to come in, double Dark Oak doors opened and revealed to the group the cleanest white they have ever seen. The inside was decorated by two potted plants on each side of the door, the walls have paintings, and a staircase has mesmerized them too.
Haise then lead them to his living room, and the group of fifteen people has fit in quite nicely. Haise then told them to sit down, and we're rather cautious of the four strange large seats that surrounds a glass table.
Liliana however, happily accepted their Host's hospitality and sat on the soft, furred large seats. And immediately felt like she was sitting on a cloud, with how soft and comfortable the thing is.
Seeing her reaction, the rest sat down as well, and they too received the same feeling the Lilims felt.
"Please excuse me, I'll bring over some snacks. Tea anyone?" Haise asked, and the Kunoichi raised her hand shyly for tea.
"Do you have green tea perhaps?" She asked, to which Haise sadly shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I have none of those" Kanna deflated, as her hopes of having something to resemble home has been taken away from her.
"Although, I do know how to make Sushi, will that be alright?" Haise spoke, to which Kanna brightened slightly, though hidden by her mask, she has a small smile underneath.
"I'll be back shortly" Haise excused himself. And once out of earshot, the group chatted in a low voice.
"I admit, he looks handsome" One of the youngest members of the Black Ice Flower mused, while many agreed.
"Now now, don't get too excited. Liliana here apparently, decided to see if she could woo the man on her own" Druella chastised the group with a smile.
"That will be easy, considering she is your sister Druella" Wilmarina added her own cent.
"I mean, you just appeared in front of me and here I am" Elt chided in with a small smirk.
"I could, but if I rely too much on magic. I'll become as lazy as my sister here, who just chalks it all up to her magic. While I, have learned the value of hard work" Liliana proudly stated as she placed a fist on her chest.
"Oh really? If I remember correctly, you cheated Mother's test" Druella smirked as Liliana's pride took damage.
"That was one time!" She almost yelled at her sister, luckily she held it back.
"Though I am curious of what would he offer as snacks. As royalty, I have tasted many dishes and desserts" Druella stated as she taps her finger on her arm.
"We will see once he returns" Wilmarina spoke confidently.
While the group was talking. Haise, or Gabriel, as he decided to use his nickname for himself. Is happily preparing the snacks. Which were cookies and of course, sushi.
The kettle made noise, indicating it is ready and poured the contents on a ceramic tea pot, and placed the homemade tea bags on the side. He then pulled out a food cart he made by hand, and placed the tea set on top, and the food at the bottom racks.
He rolled the cart to the living room and announced his presence to everyone.
"I apologize for the delay, I got carried away preparing snacks" He then placed the tea set on the middle of the glass table, and set up the cookies and sushi on plates.
To say that many became hungry upon seeing the snacks, is an understatement. As Liliana herself has a glazed look on her eyes and the younger members of the Black Ice Flower embarrassingly wiped a bit of saliva from their mouths, as the aroma of the freshly baked books assaulted their senses.
"Please, enjoy yourselves" He stated, and one by one. Each took a cookie that took their interest, while Kanna the Kunoichi took the chopsticks and picked up a slice of sushi.
Haise barely prevented a blush, when he heard a chorus of delighted moans as each one took a bite.
"My, thank you for all your compliments" He said, making the group blush in embarrassment. Liliana however, looked much more determined.
"I must say Haise, your snacks are remarkable" Druella praised.
"Thank you, though I believe it is time for what you came here for" The temperature of the room dipped, as Haise's smile brought chills down everyone's spine. Of course the Lilims only felt unnerved, but they didn't expect a Human of all things to give them chills.
"So, tell me. What brings not only one, but two Daughters of the Demon Lord to my home." Haise smiled, yet to the group. The smile scared them.
"My sister was only curious to where that pillar of flame and smoke came from, and as my sister stated before. You are living close to the border of Lescatie, so I have an obligation to see if you are a devout follower of the Chief God." Druella confronted him with steel in her voice.
"I see, I suppose you have the right to do so. Very well, I suppose I am rather too harsh on my approach. But it seems it was nothing more but duty and curiosity" Haise nodded, and the room felt warmer.
"What was that?" Wilmarina asked, confusing Haise.
"What was what?" He tilted his head slightly.
"That thing you just did! Like I felt threatened for a moment there." Wilmarina accused Haise, only for him to continue playing dumb.
"I assure you, Lady Noscrim. I have no idea of what you are speaking of." Haise denied.
Wilmarina tried to continue but Druella stopped her.
"That's enough Wilmarina, I can tell he is telling the truth, so please. Do not be disresy towards our host" She chastised her.
"Hm, I guess this is a good time for business I suppose. I'd like to offer my services as a Vendor of vegetables and fruits, as I happen to have an abundance of such products." Haise offered, to which the Lilims were taken by surprise by the sudden proposal.
"While I have been sustaining myself for years within this walls, I am only one man. I cannot consume more than my fair share and happen to have bountiful harvests when the time comes." He explained.
"I see, very well. I suppose having more food couldn't hurt. Plus I am sure you are rather lonely being alone, as you said so yourself." Druella said as she carefully watched Haise.
Haise chuckled bitterly. "That is correct, though it isn't as harsh as one might think. Gave me much needed time to focus more on my tasks. But I suppose, interaction with people is a must for social creatures, such as we." Haise replied.
"I see your point, but before I set a plot for your shop, is it possible for me to see your products?" She asked.
"I suppose it is only right, I'll be back with the products" Haise then excused himself to gather his crops.
The group however, let out a breath of relief as Haise left them.
"Damn, he can be scary if he wants to" One commented.
"But what was that aura? I felt like I've been threatened by the Demon Lord hersellf." Another one spoke.
"He is dangerous." One of them spoke, a woman with a sword attached to her arm, and a body covered by black Demon Steel plates.
"What do you mean? Kirsch" Wilmarina questioned the Demon Sword Woman.
"The way he carries himself, he looks relaxed but he is prepared for a fight if one breaks out. Don't tell me your senses has dulled over the time you've been busying yourself with Elt?" Kirsch challenged Wilmarina.
"Girls, remember what our host said. No conflict must happen within these walls." Druella stopped the two of them before things could escalate.
Liliana however, ignored them as she decided to explore the bookshelves of Haise. She browsed through each shelf and found a curious title.
"The Greek Gods?" But before she could open it, another item has caught her attention. It was a music disc.
"Ah, sorry for the wait Druella. But here is the products I am willing to sell." Haise arrived before Liliana could show it to Druella.
Haise then placed a collection of crops such as Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Cabbages, and more.
"My, such good quality these are" Druella praised again.
"Thank you, I made sure to grow them with utmost care." Haise confirmed.
"Oh, it's already night. Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Are you lot comfortable with each other? I only have one other guest room and it has enough space for everyone." Haise stated, confusing the group before they realized the Moon has been up for more than four hours.
"Ah, we apologize for taking your time Haise." Druella tried to apoloy but Haise shook his head.
"No need for that.the guest room has enough space to accommodate for all of you, although I could set up a tent if you aren't comfortable to sleep in a crowded place." Haise said, as he prepared a tent in his inventory.
Many raised their hands and told Haise they are alright with sleeping outside with a tent. While Druella and Wilmarina, asked if they could occupy the Guest room with Elt.
"I see, but before anything else. Dinner everyone?" Haise asked, and the group nodded.
Haise then lead them to his kitchen and their eyes widened at the amount of food prepared on the table.
"Well then, please enjoy" Haise offered after letting them take a seat.
Ok so, build up is there I guess? Anyway, idk why it turned out to be like this but I had fun. So hope you guys like this chapter, and holy hell... I can't wait to make my OC lay waste with the technology-based mods lol. SOUL out!
