Chapter 41: The Light of Humanity

Apophis got blinded by the light and he had to close his eyes as Mordred's aura exploded. A torrent of light escaped from him and Apophis' realm disintegrated.

Like the sun that shone to cut through the darkness, bringing in dawn. Signifying another day that will continue.

Mordred's scales were peeling and his body was riddled with holes. But he stood firmly and his fiery sword of light burned through the darkness.

Apophis started laughing with delight. "Come! Mordred Pendragon, give me a battle that is worthy for a dragon!"

Mordred flew to the skies and he pointed his sword at Apophis. Beams of light assaulted the dragon.

Darkness and light clashed. Mordred then started forming runes. Primordial rune magic floated in the air and he filled them with mana.

They glowed and Apophis roared in pain as lasers of holy light rained down on the battlefield.

"I will claim your powers as my own! Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin! As I shine bright! I will not neglect the other side!" Mordred's poured out a torrents of primordial water.

Tons of it crashed onto the ground and it formed into large tendrils as Mordred began to create his second mana core.

The tendrils that moved to his will latched onto Apophis tightly. Two sources of the terrible magic that corrodes fought for dominance.

"That's it! Fight! Burn brightly as we tear each other apart!" Apophis' jewels detached from his body and they orbited around him.

They turned into his conduits for his magic and pressurized water escaped from them, freeing Apophis from his binding.

Mordred suddenly found himself surrounded by the jewels and he quickly poured mana on runes he made.

He was assaulted by primordial water and he gritted his teeth as he poured more mana into it.

A spot on it got corroded by Apophis' magic and a thin jet hit his side while he dodged. A chunk of his flesh got taken away with it and Mordred groaned in pain.

"Apophis!" Mordred glared at him and the evil dragon started his ascent towards Mordred.

Beams of light and shadows clashed midair as they flew to each other.

Meeting in the sky, Mordred's sword crashed into Apophis' largest jewel on his chest that erupted with primordial water.

"Guhahaha! It seems you are losing! Fight hero! Kill me and give me the satisfaction of dying with honor!" Apophis controlled his jewels and Mordred's barrier was assaulted by his magic once again.

Struggling against the evil dragon's powers. The black water began encroaching on his arms and his scales peeled off. Starting to corrode his skin and muscles.

"The human mind is much more powerful than you think Apophis!" Mordred realized something and he poured in the last vestiges of his mana towards a final attack.

Apophis suddenly froze as a shadow spike pierced his mana core from the inside, making his magic go haywire.

"H-how?" Apophis looked at his chest and Mordred grinned while huffing.

"Shadows are everywhere dragon. Hah, hah. I told you, I will also reign supreme in controlling the darkness." Mordred smirked as he controlled a shadow inside of Apophis and stabbed it in his core.

"Excellent... Mordred Pendragon, that was a truly honorable battle between dragons... I never expected that my powers will be the end of me." Apophis gave a toothy grin as he fell from the skies.

Mordred then slowly landed on the ground, refusing to drop down even though he was already half dead.

"It was indeed a worthy battle between dragons..." Mordred absorbed Apophis' soul and his second mana heart formed fully as the primal eclipse dragon disappeared.

Mordred then stabbed his sword on the ground and a black crown made of shadows appeared on his head. Apophis' last gift for him before being assimilated.

Back outside, Scathach was having the time of her life. Her latex body suit is barely on her as Apophis' shadows and primordial water got a hold of her a couple of times.

"What a disgusting combination. His body's physical strength is already so strong. But this terrible magic means that I'm not safe in any range." Scathach had a smile on her face.

Mordred's body wasn't uninjured though, his torso has a couple of holes on them and it was plugged by a shadow construct as first aid.

When Scathach was about to go in again, she saw him suddenly blink and drop to the ground.

'Ahhh, he finished... That was disappointing, but he was fighting on instinct anyway.' Scathach quickly went up to him and healed his body.

But the reason for his immense tiredness is his fatigue on his soul.

"Master... I have conquered Apophis." Mordred smiled at her and Scathach smiled at him while caressing his golden locks.

"You have, I am proud of you." Scathach puffed her chest in pride.

"Mordred, you can ask something of me as your reward. I did put you up to this." Scathach gave him a soft smile and Mordred suddenly gained strength.

He then looked at her in disbelief as he sat up. "You said that rewards will make me train for gratification instead of strength. What changed your mind?" He tilted his head and Scathach snorted.

"That is true, but as your master. I should grant your request for something as momentous as this. Or you don't want it?" Scathach raised a brow and he shook his head immediately.

He then thought about it and Scathach thought it was good that he did not say anything immediately. Being prudent is a great virtue.

"Then, can you give me full control of your body for a bit?" Mordred nodded sagely and thought that it was the correct decision.

He eyed her voluptuous chest and thighs. She always rejected his request to fondle her. And the time to do so was now.

"Wha?" She blinked and thought that he would request her to make a weapon for him. She made gae bolg after all. And Mordred really likes his swords.

"Hmm? I thought that you'll grant my request?" Mordred raised a brow and she blinked at him dumbly.

She then started laughing, admiring his boldness. 'This young man... He definitely has balls of steel. I have never met someone that looked at me with such innocent desire.'

"So? Is that a no? Then I will be disappointed in you master." Mordred shook his head wistfully and Scathach flicked his forehead.

"Are you saying that I am a liar? You brat, I am a queen. I mean everything I say." She huffed at him. Mordred then turned towards her.

"Then I shall partake, thank you very much." Scathach was surprised as she felt his strong hands that were still soft even though he trained with the sword for countless of hours.

'A great warrior that has soft and delicate looking hands... This is definitely new, but I don't think it's a bad thing...' Scathach felt his hands on her waist and she was suddenly turned around by Mordred.

"Hmm, you have such soft and supple skin master. If I didn't knew better, I'd say that your feminine body is not for fighting. But for caressing, just like this." Mordred hugged her from behind.

Scathach blinked as she heard Mordred whisper in her ear. 'What a natural womanizer.' She huffed inside of her mind. Even though she is a warrior queen, a lady appreciates a genuine complement.

She then shut her mouth tightly as Mordred pushed on her nipples. "I thought that women make cute sounds when I do that? I guess I will have to try with my friends. I have been busy training with you master."

"Fool, do not talk about other women while another one is in your arms." Scathach glared at him and he took that to heart.

"How about here, master? Do you make a cute sound I wonder?" Mordred caressed her inner thigh and his high body temperature felt good on her skin.

'Damn it, I surely thought he would grab me like a thirsty man in a dessert, but his touch is soft, yet firm.' She could feel herself get moist.

'I think this was a bad idea...' Scathach gritted her teeth a bit so she won't let out a voice of pleasure.

"Teacher also told me that women have sensitive necks." Mordred kissed her neck softly and gave it a lick with his warm tongue.

'Ohhh, how I wish that appendage would be in another place... No! Mordred is still a boy, he just looks like a young, budding man with a strong physique.' Scathach cursed her lack of foresight.

"Hmmm~ isn't that enough Mordred?" Scathach furrowed her brows.

"No, I find this really enjoyable. And I can smell a sweet scent from you master Scathach. I want to sniff it more. It makes me feel all tingly." Mordred took a whiff of her neck and she gave off a hot sigh.

His hands roamed around her body and massaged her butt and chest.

'The flesh is weak indeed...' She let him be and Mordred sucked on her neck. "Hngh~ Go for my nipples." Scathach ordered and he complied.

"That's it master, I knew that teacher wasn't lying. I really like how you sound right now." Mordred whispered to her as he drew circles on her areolas and nipples.

After a slow and agonizing minute, Mordred remembered Odin's teachings.

'When they give off a sweet voice and is sweating a bit, go in for the kill!' Mordred remembered his toothy grin accompanied by a thumbs up.

So his hand snaked down on her abdomen and Scathach who was distracted leaned onto him while holding his nape.

"This is the weakpoint of women right? Teacher, I will be going in for the kill. Be prepared for my attack, Scathach." Mordred rubbed her little nub and Scathach gasped as she shivered. Odin did tell him that he should call their name softly as he did it.

She twitched and seized for a few seconds as she noticed that his hand was somewhere that it shouldn't be.

"Morded... That's enough." Her breath was quick, but she did hold his hand and stopped him.

"Okay, thank you master. I have learned a lot, let's do this again, that was fun." He smiled and Scathach felt conflicted about that.

"I will see you later master." Mordred waved goodbye and he disappeared.

"Ugh, I wasn't able to tell him that was just a one time thing..." Scathach brooded and she isn't sure if she should just let him or not.

After contemplating for a few hours, she just shrugged and said fuck it.

"As his master, I should teach him how to pleasure women too right? Yeah, the best warrior that the world will ever see will be a laughing stock if he couldn't, yeah." She convinced herself and rationalized the situation.

She then felt her legs were slick. "I need a bath..." Scathach did not know what to feel.

__Germany__

A few days passed and Mordred is having a meeting with Mephisto.

"So, have you made a proper curriculum with your friends? Establishing a mage association is no joke." Mephisto smiled at Mordred.

As someone with a lot of experience in the business, Mordred went to Mephisto. Not only was he the chairman that will approve of the school that Mordred will make. He also has tons of experience about the subject.

"Yes, we already have a large plot of land in all of the continents. We will proceed with building the schools." Mordred nodded at him and Mephisto chuckled.

'I wonder what the supernatural world's reaction will be when they learn that a new faction is being made? Ahhh, I could already imagine their faces.' Mephisto thought that it would be fun in accepting Mordred's idea.

"I will fully support you in this. I am an advocate of liberalism after all. That's why the old Satan faction was in my shit list." Mephisto grinned.

"Thank you very much Mephisto, I promise that you'll see a good show." Mordred shook hands with him and Mephisto was excited to see what he'll accomplish.

It was the largest instance of someone liberating people. Majority of humans are ignorant about the supernatural.

And Mordred's new faction will definitely have tons of members because they would take in anyone who is interested.

Mordred then teleported to Kyoto so he could ask Yasaka to get permission about his new project.

"Hmm, now that I think about it. Yasaka also didn't have a reaction when I fondled her chest. Master is pretty stoic, so I should ask her later when our talks are over." Mordred nodded sagely.

Due to the time difference, it was evening in Japan and Mordred was walking leisurely. He was in a really good mood after his little tryst with Scathach.

He hummed with a smile on his face, but he was suddenly met up with a surprise.

A woman wearing a shrine maiden outfit with long black hair and violet eyes was walking her dog.

"You love this don't you? Fufufu~ Such a naughty little dog you are." The woman chuckled and her dog panted.

There was a problem though, her dog was a hairy middle aged man with gruff facial hair.

Mordred was stunned and he just blinked dumbly. Staring at the scene in front of him. A naked man had a leash on his neck and a shrine maiden was walking him around.

"Ummm, sorry. But this is public indecency. I would have to report you to the authorities." Mordred was about to make a magic circle to call Yasaka that there were some perverts in her territory.

"W-wha!? No! How can you go through the perception barrier?" The man immediately changed tunes and the woman was shocked to the core.

"Because it was weak? I don't judge people for their preference old man. But won't children that are going home from the park see you?" Mordred raised a brow.

"Sorry! Sorry! Let's just forget everything that happened here, please!" The woman bowed immediately.

"I'll just erase his memories." The man tried to use his magic on him and Mordred of course shrugged it off like it was dust.

"Hmm, a fallen? I see, now I understand. You are Azazel's ilk. Of course you would be a raging pervert. The guy is a pedophile, while his subordinate likes to be treated like a dog." Mordred nodded in understanding.

The man then had a realization. "Golden hair and green eyes. Incredibly dense mana as well... You're Mordred Pendragon... I'm Barakiel, a cadre of the fallen. Please don't call Azazel that." He introduced himself and Mordred huffed.

"I call them like I see them. A member of my kin almost got kidnapped by that man who surely loves defenseless children." Mordred glared at him and they were getting on the wrong direction immediately.

"H-hello, I am Shuri Himejima. Sorry about this young man. You shouldn't have seen this..." She apologized sheepishly and Mordred nodded.

"At least you know, please do that in the privacy of your home." Mordred looked at them with disgust.

"Damn... A kid just looked at me like I'm dirt." Barakiel got depressed.

"As an apology, can we invite you for some tea? My daughter would definitely love to have a friend." Shuri smiled and Mordred raised a brow.

"I see, so that's why you can't do that at home? Then why do it at all? Please have some restraint." Mordred chided them and the couple winced.

"But sure, I have to make sure that your daughter is in good hands. Or I have to call CPS." Mordred nodded at them and Shuri had a wry smile on her face.

"Shuri, that kid is a monster. He erased the Tepes faction of vampires with a swing of his sword you know?" Barakiel still remember the video that Rias has since taken down.

After a little of digging, it pointed to Mordred who debuted in the underworld all those years ago that revealed himself in Rias' birthday party.

And his group of friends were all heiresses too. So Grigori of course checked his movements. Not to mention that heaven tries to get any information about him.

"He's just a young man Barakiel. He is even a decent boy that wants to check on Akeno... Due to our little ahem, hobby." Shuri assured him.

Barakiel was still wary, but they invited him to their home that was a shrine.

"Okaa-san, otou-san, welcome home!" A little clone of Shuri appeared and Mordred squinted his eyes. Barakiel was sweating bullets because if Mordred decides to take her from them, he won't be able to do a thing.

'This kid's mana is making me really nervous. And he even has a tight hold on it. His attack that erased the Tepes would definitely kill me.' Barakiel prayed that Mordred won't decide that they're bad influences.

"Hello, I am Mordred Pendragon." He smiled at the girl and she blinked.

"A foreigner? Mom, dad. Why is he here?" Akeno looked at him curiously.

"Introduce yourself first honey. He's our guest." Shuri chided her.

Akeno then went formal and she bowed at him. "Hi, I am Akeno Himejima. Nice to meet you Mordred."

"Umu." Mordred checked if she was nervous or something. Because she might have been fed lines for guests. But she came out clean. He then nodded at Shuri and Barakiel.

Barakiel sighed in relief and Shuri scratched her head sheepishly.

"I am busy right now Akeno, so have this for now." Mordred gave her a Gameboy just like the others and he continued his trip to Yasaka's.

"Don't do something unnecessary." Mordred gestured that he was watching and Barakiel nodded immediately.

"Why did he say that mom, dad? Did you walk dad again?" After Mordred left, Akeno tilted her head while asking a question and the couple paled.

"H-how do you know that dear?" Shuri's smile twitched.

"Well, at night. Dad was moaning in pain, so I checked you guys out. And you were wearing this tight, black outfit while he had a collar. And dogs wear that when they go for a walk right?" Akeno blinked and Shuri almost fainted.

"Get a hold of yourself Shuri!" Barakiel caught her and Akeno tilted her head curiously.
