Welp,it’s chinese new year now,so happy chinese new year to those who celebrate and hope you get lots of red packet.Now,go and read this novel.
Village 64:Brother feud 1
The elder led us to a room,filled with nothing but papers.
At the end of the room,sits a man.
He looks alot like four-eyes,except he doesn't wear gla.s.ses.
"Aniki."
Aniki!!!
So they are siblings!!!
"You’re here,little brother."
"You know that the demon generals loved this place,so why did you took it!?"
"Err,we didn't give owners.h.i.+p of the village to anyone."
"Forgive me,but it's something that i must do."
"What are you saying!!"
"I've found the person who murdered our parents."
Parents?
So,are they real demons?
Or did they become a demon?
"Who is it!?"
"I can't tell you.Only an exorcist can know the truth."
"Oi,i'm your brother,tell me!"
"Shut up!"
With a shout,a bunch of people,
Wearing yellow robe and holding swords made of chinese coins appeared.
"After obtaining the power of a demon,i betrayed them to become a Fang Xiang s.h.i.+*."
(Chinese exorcist,so,are we gonna have chinese vampire?)
He turned and faced his back to us,
And slowly walk away,while speaking.
"I trained to raise up in the rank to know the truth.Now,i'm the third strongest."
He signalled the people,and they were about to attack us.
"Leave!Tell them that i'll give them back the village after i killed the killer."
I felt steam coming from underneath,
And sure enough,
The elder was so angry that smoke came out of his ears.
"I told you,no one have owners.h.i.+p to the village other then the creator!!!"
He moved as fast as the wind,
And moved as swiftly as water.
He defeated all of the minions,
And attack four-eye's brother.
I thought he was about to counter,
But he got caught in a trap.
"All of you,leave for today!!Tomorrow,meet here in the morning!!"
With magic or ninjutsu,we were teleported into a seperate room.
I'm curious about four-eye's past,
"Oi,four-eyes,do a flashback."
"Why should i?"
"I'll give you the ring."
I took out the ring that Drac gave me,
"Alright."
Hahahahaha,did he forgot that his giving me the full set of the ring as reward?
Hahaha,tricked him.
Village 65:Brother feud 2
It happened many years ago,
I lived happily with my family.
"But one day someone killed your family,and only you and your brother survived."
"No!You forgot about my lover as well as my aniki's wife and children!"
"Continue."
We were luck that we survive,
But we were at the brink of death.
He followed us,and when i thought we were dead,
But Seiryuu-sama saved us.
"Seiryuu-sama?"
"He's one of the four heavenly demon general."
He carried us,and flew away from our own land.
He asked us a question.
"Do you want to live or die?Live,and become a demon to work for me."
I was hesitant to agree,
But Aniki immediately replied without hesitation.
So,i agreed with him.
We drink Seiryuu-sama's blood,and became a demon.
But,a few hundred past,
Aniki disappeared.
And because of that,everyone treats him as a traitor.
"So?"
I'm the one person who know why he left.
He wants revenge.
He loved his wife more than anything in the world.
He used to be happy and cheerful,
But for the years we became demon,
He have not even smiled a single time.
"I see,so it's just a basic revenge story."
"Yup."
Sorry,but i left some details out.
I can't tell them that,
The killer,is our father.
This is something i'll tell you,readers.
My father,sold us to a merchant as slaves.
I was only 10,and my aniki was 15.
But,we managed to escape.
And for 20 years,we live in peace.
I found someone that i loved,
Aniki got married with his lover,
And mom died peacefully.
But,my father,appeared in front of us.
He doesn't look the same anymore.
His body was stiff,
He didn't walk,but instead hop with his arm forward.
He have his face covered with a talisman,
But it couldn't cover his sharp,vampiric teeth.
And the person who appeared behind him,
Is the merchant who bought us.
It seems that my father sold us for money,
And the money that he got was cursed,
Which turned him into a Kyons.h.i.+*.
(Chinese vampire.)
The merchant was evil,he tricked my father and is now,controlling him.
It's not just my father,
But countless others as well.
He went and killed all the villagers,and turned them into a Kyons.h.i.+ as well.
Yes.My lover,Aniki's wife and children,
All turned into an immortal beings who can't die.
They don't have any emotions,
Aniki properly become a demon in order to become immune to the curse,
So that he can kill the merchant.
I don’t know what happened to him,
But it seems that aniki know a lot of things.
Village 66:History
"Calmed down,have you all?"
"Yes."
"Could you please release us?"
"Yes,please!"
"My body hurts!"
"I want to sleep!"
"No!Look at them,useless.You’re strong enough to escape,why didn’t you?"
"I have to save my spiritual energy."
"He has grown stronger,ha."
The elder know about this?
Then,does Kageyo know as well?
"Kageyo,do you know who are they talking about?"
"No.It's properly something that happened after i become a resident of h.e.l.l."
"Creator,didn't Hikari told you?"
"No.She told me nothing."
Hikari?
Is she Kageyo's sister?
"Then,i shall tell you."
"Oi,you're breaking our promise?"
"This concerns the creator as well!"
It concerns Kageyo!
Why?
Just who is the killer.
Why is he so important?
"Tsukikage,broke the most important rule."
As Kageyo heard it,
The shadow around us started to move furiously,
What kind of rule did he break?
Is it really that important?
"Master,are you able to sustain me in the human realm?"
"Of course."
I haven't felt any fatigue or dizziness at all.
"Everyone,please leave me and master alone."
"Understood."
The elder quickly moved everyone out of the room within seconds,
"Master,i want you to let me kill him."
"Who?"
"The person they are going to kill is my son."
"You're…son."
"Yes."
Kageyo took out a scroll,and unrolled it.
There's words and pictures,depicting the creation of the village.
Kagayo was the first ninja,
He got married and decided to train people to become a ninja.
After years of teaching,
The amount of student was big enough for them to make a village.
Thus,he made a village that's hidden within the ancient forest.
When he finished creating the village,
His first son was born.
But at that time,he found something horrible.
A scroll,created by an evil exorcist,
Which allow people to create Kyons.h.i.+,
A being that kills the human's soul and forced stray spirit to live in the dead body,
Making them thirst for blood and to create more of their own kind.
He fear that someone might use it,
So he decided to hide it.
He hid it in a secret room within the forest,
And forbid anyone to go through the forest unless they are using the normal path.
But at that time,the G.o.d of h.e.l.l wanted him to become his personal a.s.sa.s.sin.
He was hesitant,but agreed.
Thus,he sent a summoned beast to guard the secret room.
"I don't know when or how,but he took the scroll."
"Why didn't you try to destroy it?"
"I tried,but failed."
"Is that so."
There should be a reason why he stole the scroll,
But,how did he know about the scroll?
Kageyo didn't told the villager that there is a scroll.
But,since it's a family feud,
"I'll let you kill him with your own hands."
"Thank you,Master."
Kageyo bowed to me.
He signaled the elder to bring everyone in.
Within seconds,everyone were inside the room.
"As the creator of the village,Baal,i want you to tell everyone about your plans."
Village 67:Millenium earl
"Hai,hai.Release me then i'll talk."
The elder moved quickly a usual,and released the chinese exorcist.
The chinese exorcist took out a scroll,and told us to read it.
Seriously,
Is everyone here so lazy that they wouldn't even talk?
Apparently,Kageyo's son have been enemies with the chinese exorcist a.s.sociation for a long time,
And they called him,the millenium earl.
He lost his humanity and started to turn people into his slave.
He started at the east of the world,
But was stop by the chinese exorcist a.s.sociation.
So,he begin to rest and regain power while slowly growing his army.
After a few thousand years,his army have grown,
And he is now preparing to attack.
And it seems that his first target,is the village.
The chinese exorcist a.s.sociation's plan,
Is to prevent the war to happen in the village,
And to have the war in the forest.
"What will the villagers do,chinese man?"
"We'll help them escape,old man."
"No.The villagers will fight."
"Oh,what's wrong,a.s.sa.s.sin-san."
"If he is attacking my village,then he have to fight against everyone here."
"Oh,then why didn't you return?Why didn't you save your wife?Why didn't you stop your son?This is all your fault."
"Stop with that att.i.tude,chinese man!"
"What do you know!!!"
The normally calm Kageyo started to get angry
And the shadow around us all started to go wild.
The chinese exorcist stabbed his coin sword onto the shadow,
And the shadow stopped moving.
"Everyone,other than beelzebub and 99999 san,please leave."
The chinese exorcist talk in a calm manner,
"Why should i listen to you?"
"Elder,do as he speak."
The elder obeyed,and carried everyone out of the room.
"Will you be alright?"
"Umm.I'll be alright,Rin-chan."
Rin-chan walk out of the room with slight concern.
But i think it'll be fine.
"Do you think you can win?"
"His my son,what he knows is what i taught him!"
"Is that so,but his not a ninja anymore."
"So!"
"Do you know what is the millenium earl?"
"Like i care about that."
"He is the one that oppose the devil and G.o.d."
The one that oppose the devil and the G.o.d.
What kind of person is that?
Normally,it will be to oppose G.o.d or oppose the devil.
"That scroll,was made by the first millenium earl,to create something stronger than a demon."
"Stronger than a demon?What are you talking about,Aniki!"
"Kyons.h.i.+ are weak,but the older they are,the stronger they become."
"So?"
"Right now,the strongest Kyons.h.i.+ strength is comparable to Benkei-sama 1000 years ago."
"So?Benkei-sama is stronger now.Even Vermillion-sama could defeat it."
"But,can the villager defeat it?"
"I'll admit,the villagers aren't stronger to fight a direct battle."
"What are you saying?"
"I'll fight and kill him."
"You do know that the Millenium earl is an immortal being."
"Then teach me."
"Easy."
The chinese exorcist's eyes grew sharper and scarier,
As if he is about to become a demon.
"Either have the power of a demon lord…"
As he spoke,he raise pointed his finger at me.
"Or the power of a G.o.d."
"Ee.G.o.d,me?"
"You are the s.h.i.+nigami."
"…Then how about the previous s.h.i.+nigami?"
"You are the first."
"Huh…"
"There have always been the one G.o.d of h.e.l.l,you're just a subst.i.tute."
A subst.i.tute!!!
Wait,that means,i have a small amount of G.o.d power inside of me.
Then,that means i'm connected to that useless G.o.d!
You must be kidding me!
"But,why do you need my help?Don't you have the power of a demon general."
"My little brother can't fight,and i have lost most of my demon power."
"Aniki,what do you mean?"
"I only have a small amount of demon power left."
"Huh?"
"The sacred water,what do you think it do?"
"It's tasty."
"It is,but it have another effect."
"Another effect."
"It is to prevent the lost of power."
"Huh?"
"The mystic water."
"Mystic water."
"We drink it so that we won't lose any of our ability to use ninjutsu."
"What do you mean?"
"Unlike normal human,ninja,demons and other races,have powers that cannot be explained normally."
"His correct.Why can beastman use spirit,but why can't the older beastman use them?We don't know"
"Then,the effect of the sacred water,is to prevent the loss of the power?"
"Correct."
"Is that so.You deserve to lose your demon power."
"Oh?"
"You are now a traitor to us.So whether you lose you powers or not,none of us are going to forgive you."
"Well,i don't need your pity anyways."
I'm confused now.
What are they talk about?
Not only that,there's no benefit for me in this war.
"Wait."
"What is it,99999-san?"
"What do i get?"
"Huh?"
"What do i get for defeating the millenium earl?"
"Little brother,what did you bribe him with?"
"My most precious collection."
"Is that so,what do you want."
"Return back to the demon general,ask them for forgiveness and tell them that the lv99999 have helped them retrieve their sacred water."
"How does that benefit you?"
"Tell them to stop attacking or doing anything bad for 3 years,and i'll tell G.o.d not to attack the demon for 3 years."
"……I'll try."
"Master,what do you want from me."
"After the war,i want to go to the hot spring."
Village 68:Millenium earl 2
A day before the war,
Many miles away from the forest,
Lies a tomb.
The tomb,is designed like the Terracotta army.
And the Kyons.h.i.+,stood like the stone soldier.
As we go deeper into the tomb,
We see the older Kyons.h.i.+,dressed differently than the normal Kyons.h.i.+.
Kyons.h.i.+ warrior,dressed in a chinese armour,and they are slightly taller then normal Kyons.h.i.+.
Kyons.h.i.+ general,are different.
They have the ability to speak and move normally but they lack intelligence.
Lastly,the Kyons.h.i.+ lord,resting in a coffin being guarded by the army.
Just like the Kyons.h.i.+ general,
The Kyons.h.i.+ lord can move and speak normally,and he have intelligence of a normal human.
Where is the Millenium earl?
His not in the tomb,
Where could he be?
Far away from the tomb,at the tip of the mountain,is where he is.
With grey skin that's different from a Kyons.h.i.+,
Wearing a ninja s.h.i.+rt,
And a creepy grin,is what he look like.
With his red,scary glare,he faced the rising sun,
And beside him,is your favourite demon,
Me!Mephisto!
"So,earl,how's the sunrise?"
"Not the best,but not the worst,if you know what i mean."
"Hahaha,your jokes are as funny as ever!"
"Hahaha!"
"How long have you been using this body?"
"Not that long,only a thousand years."
"Why didn't you change?"
"You know who 99999 is,don't you?"
"Ofcourse!"
"I want his follower to see despair."
He spoke with a grin that's different from before.
His grin now,shows enjoyment.
Enjoyment of seeing others suffering.
And i too,grin as well.
"Is that so."
"Oh."
"Let's have a bet."
"Sure!What is it going to be?"
"The usual."
"If you say so,Millenium duke."
"Don't call me that anymore,call me,Mephisto."
"But aren't you skill still the same?Being able to control time and s.p.a.ce."
"Hahaha,same to you."
