Chapter 100: The hybrid's true power

「How could this be? You're really Kibadios?」Thousands of emotions ran through Kailos' head as his face changed from the stern expression when confronting the chimeric siblings, to confusion, to hope, and finally to excitement as his eyes could clearly see the resemblance between Kibadios and his wife.

「...」Kibadios froze for a second, before letting out a faint smile.「Now isn't a time for reunion, father.」

「So, this is our Brother that Mu was telling us about? Very flashy!」The muscular chimera loudly spoke up, before jumping at the hybrid. Although the distracted Kibadios was able to react in time, crossing his arms in front of his body to block the incoming punch, the sheer impact of the attack sent him crashing into the house standing almost 50 feet away, shattering it into rubble.

「Kibadios!」Kailos worryingly shouted out before making his way to the hybrid. Yet, the ogre could barely make a few steps forward before his path was blocked by one of the chimera siblings.

「Don't worry, Kailos. We will make sure you join Brother in an eternal rest.」The red-eyed monster girl swung out her arm, which had now taken the shape of a silver scythe, decorated with snowy crystal. With one swing, the chimera created a large spiky ice sheet from thin air and launched it at her ogre opponent.

「You bunch of monsters!」Ogre gritted his teeth. Kailos skillfully reacted to the attack by drawing out his sword. Much like Yamamoto from Bleach, the moment his sword was unsheathed, a hot red flame instantly engulfed the blade. With one of his slash, the flame was projected outward, easily cutting through and melting the icy attack.「Don't you dare stand between me and my son!」The ogre immediately sent a follow- up attack directed at the red-eyed monster, intended to burn her into crisp flesh. Although she could see the attack incoming, the monster did not bother to move an inch away from where she stood.

「His elemental affinity is , Alaran.」The shota monster jumped in front of the red-eyed monster girl, raising his arms up. Instead of possessing normal hands with fingers, his hands took the shape of two large jaws, both were now wide open and sucking in the scorching fiery attack into the seemingly endless dark abyss, not unlike Wind Tunnel of Miroku from Inuyasha.「He's just a bad matchup for you.」

「Qwan… Are you trying to steal my prey?」Alaran leered down at the boy.

「Stop being competitive for once, Alaran. If you want, we can join forces and take him out together.」The shota monster, Qwan, suggested.

「Hoh? That sounds fun. When was the last time we fought together?」Alaran genuinely was excited.

「Some time last year, I guess.」Answered the shota monster as he effortlessly dodged Kailos' continuing attacks, floating in the air like a weightless feather.

「How long do you think it would take us to finish him?」Alaran grinned.

「Less than 5 minutes, I'd say.」

「Let's do it!」Alaran declared. Yet, her excitement for the anticipated battle was disrupted as behind her, from underneath the rubble, a sinister aura could easily be sensed by all those who were present at the battlefield. Before long, a shockwave blasting the debris away, some of which were sent flying at the muscular chimera and the levitating monster girl staying close to him.

「You two okay? Eadur ? Galahan?」Mu rushed to his siblings.

「It'd take more than a few flying bricks to hurt me.」 Eadur answered before crushing the debris he caught with his claw into dust.

「Since when were you such a worrywart, Mu?」Galahan teased. A shadow extended from her body, not unlike that of Kibadios, easily protected her.

「... Since, we're facing him.」Mu could feel a drop of sweat rolling down his cheek. At the ominous warning of their brother, the two chimera suddenly turned to Kibadios, who was now emerging from the settling dust.「Our brother seems to be much more powerful than we have given him credit for. I guess there's a reason why a dragonkin would work under him.」

In front of their eyes, Kibadios appeared completely unharmed. What caught their attention, though, was the fact that the hybrid had fully uncloaked his illusion and revealed his true self: His two ogre horns extended further outward from his forehead, while on his back, three pairs of dark, large wings were now fully visible, much like that of Belial or Sandalphon from GBF. The hybrid's shadows slowly extended outward from where he stood, resembling Pride from Full Metal Alchemist, right down to the eeriness that his aura gave off. The hybrid raised his right arm, conjuring up a large scythe that was much longer and larger than his usual weapon.

「Three pairs of wings…」Mu muttered.「Who could have thought that our Brother would be that special kind of Incubus.」

「Now, who goes first?」Kibadios grinned.

Without audibly responding to Kibadios' taunt, Mu summoned more than a dozen sharp crystal shards and projected them at the hybrid at an extremely high speed that if any regular person was witnessing the fight, they would not have realized what was going on. Strangely, instead of creating distance between himself and his opponents like he usually would, Kibadios simply ran forward. His shadow moved along with him, rising up from the ground and slashed away the attack Mu sent at him. Caught off guard by their brother's initiative, the three chimera stood frozen for a moment, deliberating what to do next. In just that few seconds, Kibadios had somehow appeared in between Mu, Galahan, and Eadur before swinging his scythe around, aiming right at their necks. Reacting in a nick of time, all three barely parried off Kibadios attack before swiftly dashed away from the hybrid to create some breathing ground. Once they had gained back their composure, Eadur was the first one to counter attack as blue sparks of lightning coated his right claw, before he sprung forth, thrusting his arm at Kibadios like an unstoppable spear.

「Wow, wow wow.」Kibadios grinned.「Did you intend to Chidori me? Too bad for you, but come forth 」Much like when he was fighting Ashura, a shield suddenly dropped down in front of him, blocking Eadur's attack.

CLANGGGGG!

「How…?」Eadur frowned and gazed at the shield that stopped his attack dead in its track.「There should not be any object in this world that can withstand my attack…」

「Eadur, get back!」Galahan ordered her brother, to which the muscular chimera obliged without question, since he knew what was coming next.

「」 Called out Galahan to activate her Arte. The four floating black orbs surrounding her began to grow bigger and bigger, until each was of the size of a man's height in diameter. The moment they stopped growing, a shrieking voice could be heard reverberating the battlefield before sinister mouths salivating drools suddenly appeared on them. Though, as their drools dropped down onto the ground, Kibadios could notice an extreme corrosion quickly occurring at the impact, eating deep into the earth.「」 Galahand clenched her fists, signaling the four hideous floating mouths to release their streams of fluid, which swirled around the hybrid. As the four streams combined into one and created an inescapable vortexing dome, locking the hybrid in the middle, Kibadios realized the reason why the chimera named Eadur had hurriedly backed off, for had he stayed behind, he would be easily dissolved into nothing as the extremely corrosive vortex zeroed in on where he stood.

「Kibadios!!!」The hybrid could hear his father calling out in panic.

「... Ha. I trust you won't fail me, 」Kibadios gently reached out to his smol summon, who had been hiding behind the shield and holding it up: A sapphire hedgehog. As he touched its cheek, a hint of sadness crossed his face. The summon chirped in acknowledgement before radiating a bright light, enveloping its master.

「... What's that?」Eadur frowned. 「He's…」

As the vortex closed in on itself then disappeared, all the three siblings could see was a blob of light encircling their Brother.

「Galahan's Arte…」 The moment the light faded away, Mu could easily see Kibadios stood there, unharmed.「could not eat away that barrier? This is the first time it happens.」

Surrounding Kibadios were three different spiky shields made out of pure sapphire light, all remained intact despite the chimera's attack.

「Goodjob, 」Kibadios complimented his summon before dismissing it away, for he was now going on the offensive.「 」Kibadios called forth his summons, to which surprised all his foes, for none in recorded history, was able to command more than 2 summons at any moment. From the earthy ground emerged a weeping woman cloaked in simple earthy cloth. Each of her tears, once falling upon the ground, created a small tree on its track. From the endless sky, three large eagles flew down and rested upon Kibadios' shoulders. On each of their heads embedded a large, shining crystal that gave off a soothing light not unlike the stars of the dark sky.「Sorry, but please lend me your power.」 Kibadios gave his summon a slight nod before charging at the three chimera.

「You're kidding me…」Galahan sweated.「What are you, Brother?」

「Seems like we're picking a fight with someone we shouldn't have.」Eadur acknowledged.

「...」Mu was the only one who stayed silent.

「Wow wow, look at that.」Sitting on Ryuu's back, Uri turned around, trying to catch a glimpse of Kibadios after the hybrid had finally let loose and went all out.「Who would have thought the Boss is an Incubus Overlord?」

「Incubus Overlord?」Yue asked.

「You see, within the race of incubus and succubus, 1 in a million chance, an individual will be born with 3 pairs of wings. That person is considered an or since they possessed the power and vitality comparable to thousands of incubus and succubus combined.」Uri explained.「Since our population is usually much less than 50k at any given generation, you can imagine that the appearance of an is extremely rare.」

「... Vitality of thousands, huh?」Yue muttered under her breath.「No wonder Kibadios sama has been so vigorous in bed.」

「Oh, and legend said that an 's cum tastes delicious and is very addicting.」Without any filter, Uri blurted out.「I wonder if that's true.」

「...」Yue remained silent, though her face had begun to turn slightly red.

「I can attest to that!」Ryuu agreed.「Anything belonging to Kibadios sama is addicting!」

「Really?」Uri smiled, before changing topic.「Anyhow, I'm off here! Yue chan, please proceed to do what the Boss asked of you. The outcome of this entire battle relies on you.」

「Of course, Uri dono.」Yue politely nodded.

「Off I go!」Uri waved his hand before letting himself fall off Ryuu's back and crash landing onto the crowded battlefield below.

「Tsk, that guy, after daring to reject Master outright like that despite being Master's Fated Pair, he kept calling you "Chan" this, "Chan" that, as if he's that close to us and Kibadios sama.」Ryuu angrily said.

「You're jealous, Ryuu dono?」Yue chuckled.

「What? Jealous of him? As if!」Ryuu denied, though deep down, he knew Yue's comment hit rather close to home ever since he learned about Uri being his Master's "Fated Pair."「 Yue chan, please get off of me. You can fly by yourself, right?」The dragonoid's tone suddenly changed.

「Understood!」Yue, without needing Ryuu to elaborate any further, hurriedly jumped off from the dragonoid before conjuring up two paper wings to help her land safely on the ground.

「HYYYAAAA!!!」

Ryuu quickly transformed himself back to his humanoid form, readied his weapon to meet the surprise attack from below.

CLANGG!!!

His spear clashed against a large hammer, but since he's a dragon, he was strong enough to parry the heavy attack away.

「A Dragonkin?」The woman studied Ryuu from head to tail while smiling with confidence.「Handsome face, rather strong too… I've decided! I'll make you one of my concubines!」

「... HAAA??」Ryuu's disgust was rather obvious, though his expression soon filled with rage, since someone dared to claim making him, one of his Master's harem members, into one of her concubines.「You have a death wish, woman?」
