Chapter 13 : The Power of Destruction

Soon between the sake and water, my bladder wanted to release, so I said.

"Please excuse me, I need to freshen up in the restroom, I shall return."

So I left the married couple to flirt. walking down the narrow halls, I finally found the restroom near the back by the exit. So I helped myself.

And 5 minutes later, I felt better, and after washing my hands, I was preparing to head back to my room, but I stopped at a room that had not had its sliding door close completely, and I heard something disturbing...

An aged voice spoke respectfully.

[East Representative Kanji, it is good you arrived in time to stop the Devils from making peace.]

Then a younger cocky male's voice was heard.

[Tengu Elder, I of course had to come, with this gift, I can finally claim my prize. For 300 years I have pursued her, to only be rebuffed time and time again. Now show me the Elixir.]

The old voice spoke to another young woman.

[Witch, show him the elixir you created and tell the Eastern Representative why it will work.]

[Representative Kanji, this was made with the Princess own blood the elder retrieved. Thanks to the blood, this elixir cannot even be resisted by her. All you need to do is rub this on your body, and her instincts will do the rest. Be careful though, she will be feral and aggressive. It will last for two hours, and I could only make this one dose. Now elder, give me my payment.]

The Tengu Elder could be heard handing over a heavy pouch and the Witch retrieved it saying.

[I will be leaving then, good doing business with you two gentlemen, ha-ha. Have fun mating.]

I could see in the crack of the door, and the three individuals looked like what I expected...

An old bird-man, Tengu. A 20 something looking Kitsune male with blonde hair and golden eyes. And finally a slutty looking witch with a pointy hat and black silk robes. But she most definitely has the gothic-vibe of an insane woman.

[Wait, don't move...]

Judging by the name Princess, the fact this guy is from the East Youkai Faction of Japan, and the Tengu is from the West Faction, I can deduce that they must have an attack planned for Yasaka? But what should I do? Nothing, or call for big brother. Wait, they went quiet?

Crash Thud BOOM! Just as I was going to look, a wooden staff with metal ends and rings on it, shot through the paper door destroying it. The staff, to my horror, aimed into my stomach, launching me into the outside wall behind me!

The 2 Youkai and Human Witch came out of the two holes, to see me get out of the rubble, and stand. The woman said in surprise.

"It is only a Devil child?! But how did he survive your attack?"

No lady that fucking hurt, I am just born tough. I spit out a bit of blood, then saw the elixir bottle in the fox-man's hand and I instantly shot a golf-ball sized orb of Destruction hitting the vial and ruining the poison.

All three seeing the Power of Destruction had interesting looks on their faces.

"Greetings, I am Prince Ray Gremory of the house of Gremory, it is a pleasure to have met you. But sadly for you, I am in a bad mood."

The woman was fast, and threw up a total of 7 Defensive Magic Circles.

The Tengu began casting Youjutsu Magic with hand signs, and the Kitsune man who not only lost his elixir of whatever poison, and his hand, screamed at the top of his lungs and started to transform into his giant fox form.

[Little Devil brat, for ruining my plans, you will die now!]

I was going to attack, but seeing Mr Giant Fox, I thought doing what the Witch did was better.

I extended both hands and suddenly 10 crimson Defensive Magic Barriers stacked to block this onslaught. The witch seeing me cast 10 while she had 7 was dumbfounded how a 4 year old could be so magically proficient.

Blah! Fox Fire had rushed out of the mouth of the transformed Kitsune. And the spell the Tengu had cast was a magic barrier to keep Humans away and unaware.

Slowly, my shields began to break and vanish as his Fox Fire was eroding my Defensive Circles... 10... 9... 8...

Just as I was feeling the heat... 3... 2...

Whoosh-Buzz Whoosh-Buzz Whoosh-Buzz! As my last Magic Circle was cracking, I saw three Orbs of Destruction come flying through the chests of all three opponents, and I sigh in relief, because I was going to get cooked. I would have probably survived, but my little body would be scorched black.

Thud Thud Thud! As the three bodies hit the floor, the 2 Youkai turned into aspects of their being. The Tengu was turned into a few black and gray feathers,while the Kitsune left behind some scattered blonde fur and dust. But the Human woman just bled out with her heart missing, face down.

Grayfia swooped me up in her arms, initially looking me over because it was apparent I was injured in the fight.

Sirzechs assured no more foes were lurking turned to me. His face has a serious expression that I have never seen in my life, and I was actually intimidated at how imposing he is right now.

"Ray, are you all right?"

After seeing my face, he softened his look and asked about my well being. This in turn calmed me.

"I just took one staff sneak attack to my gut, but I am fine big brother, and thanks."

While Grayfia held me, my brother asked.

"Ray, start from when you left us, to now. do not leave any detail out and say what happened."

So without hiding anything, I told them everything I heard, names, and thoughts I had.

-

While I had finished my story, Sirzechs nodded and called for a technical squad to pull up past images of the encounter. This way the East Youkai Faction can see the plot against their Princess, and the fight I had with them. Even hearing what Devil Clan I was from they did not stop. But that Witch was definitely a criminal element.
