The 'Devil'

[Later]

It was evening, and Solo, who was being followed from Alice, Tamamo and Luka, arrived in front of the cave where Yamata no Orochi should live.

Luka: So… How will you do this? Will you enter…? Or…

Solo: Don't joke, this… is a mission where stealth is optional.

Tamamo: So?

Solo grinned and extended his arm forward, while charging a dangerous scarlet orb towards the little mountain.

Solo: I'll gonna blast the entire mountain… Cero.

Then he shot his cero, which when it touched the mountain, it exploded, making rubbles fly everywhere.

While Luka had his mouth open wide from shock, Tamamo and Alice got a small chill in their back, the former is because she felt the power behind that hit in their fight.

Meanwhile the latter remembered his Gran Rey Cero, which had a destructive power big enough to heavily injure even the first Monster Lord or Illias herself.

What remained of the mountain, was the half of it, and had some holes inside, which should be the caves, and then they heard a voice.

Yamata no Orochi: Ok… Who in the Monster Lord's name destroyed my home?!

From the rubbles, a 8 headed and 8 tailed green dragon came out, instead of the dragon heads, she had a woman's torso and head attached in each neck, all of them were identical to each other, and all of them had a pissed off expression.

Solo: Oi!

Yamata no Orochi: Who the fuck is it?!

Yamata no Orochi turned to the voice and found Solo who had his hand over Angel Halo.

Solo: You didn't paid the rent, now I'll kick you out!

Then Yamata no Orochi, with an enraged expression said before rushing at him.

Yamata no Orochi: I'll suck you dry until you can't move!!

Solo smiled and took out his Angel Halo, and made a step forward, before vanishing from Yamata no Orochi's sight with a static noise and appear just over her main body.

5 heads turned towards him, while the other 3 fell to the ground, lifelessly, while releasing magic power from the severed part, surprising Alice and Luka, while Tamamo already knew his limits to a certain point.

Yamata no Orochi: ...You…!

Then all the remaining 5 heads rushed toward Solo, while he just raised again Angel Halo and brought it down with the tip of the blade.

Solo: Onibi.

And at that moment, a giant hole was created over Yamata no Orochi's main body, this time shocking only the victim herself, who started glowing.

Yamata no Orochi: ...Defeated… So… Easily…

Then it shrunk down and became a tiny snake with 8 heads, Solo stood in the ground and slowly walked towards the group with a disappointed face.

Solo: too easy… Hey Tamamo, can we fight again some times?

Tamamo got a chill over her spine and backed away some steps while wearing a panicked face.

Tamamo: N-No… Sorry Solo… But still I need my tails.

Solo sighed and gave back Angel Halo to Luka, then said.

Solo: Let's return back…

[tomorrow]

They were meeting with the Chief.

Chief: Thank you so much! Mighty Espada! You've really saved this village! I'd really love to thank you, but this village is poor, and there isn't much we can do for you…

Solo: It's ok… I don't need anything, I have both money and power… Maybe some food, if you could…

Alice was happy from what Solo asked while Luka smiled, Tamamo smirked under her fan and the Chief smiled.

Chief: If it's only that, then we could do it!

The Chief got in his house to gather some food that he didn't need, and gave it to Solo, who appreciated it, then they bid bye, and Solo, Luka, Alice and Tamamo left Yamatai Village.

Then Tamamo spoke.

Tamamo: Now then, I shall take my leave here.

Solo: Nn, bye.

Luka: See ya at the Monster Lord Castle.

Then Tamamo jumped and made a backflip, but before landing, she vanished.

Solo: She teleported away… I didn't knew she could…

Alice: Every Heavenly Knight can teleport in and out from the Monster Lord castle, and are able of telepathy.

Solo: Mh, that's useful… So, Luka, where do we go?

Luka: I was thinking about going to that village where many different monsters live together.

Solo: It exists?

Luka: Yeah, while I was gathering informations at Grand Noah, someone talked about it.

Alice: Are you really going…? Sheesh, whatever.

Luka: Why don't you want to go? Is something wrong…?

Alice: I do want to see it with my own eyes.

Luka: Are you going? Are you not going? Make up your mind…

Solo: 'I am already starting to hate the village…' Let's just go…

Then Alice, Luka and Solo headed towards Plansect Village.

[Later]

Luka, Alice and Solo were arrived at the entrance for the village. I don't see anything that looks like a building anywhere…

Solo: It's full of insects and plants…

Luka: Eh?

Solo: The monsters here are made only from insects and plants, and it seems that something is happening.

Luka: Let's go then…

Then Solo and Luka entered, it seems that Alice would look from far away. When they were deep enough, they found 3 monster insects fighting against two monster plants, and it seemed that the plants were losing.

Luka: What's going on?!

They were watching how the fight was going, and then Luka sprinted forward to guard the plants.

Caterpillar: Ohohoh? A human?

Mosquito: Oh… A human coming to this village? How unusual. But why would he protect the Alraunes?

Solo: Well, what do you think one would see when someone look a guy hitting another, while the latter would try to protect himself?

It seems that he was ignored, and the insects started to fight against Luka, meanwhile, Solo had a little idea and used sonido to get in a certain direction.

Solo: A war… Better knowing more about it…

Then Solo found his destination and appeared in a big hall made inside a insect hive, the monsters were surprised from his sudden appearance.

Queen Bee: Who are you?!

Solo: I do not wish to reveal my name and surname… But you can call me… The 'Devil'. And I want some informations...
