The Act

Hinata looked at Akihito with a cold glint as they looked each other in the eyes. Suddenly her eyes glazed over and she went completely stiff. Akihito was reading her memories. After a mere second Hinata looked at her surroundings like she didn't know where she was.

Akihito even after looking at her memories didn't change anything of how he would be acting. He also found some rather useful information.

"As much as I would like to beat your ass, I have more important places to be." With that Akihito disappeared from his spot. Hinata immediately started surveying her surroundings.

"Tch!!" She clicked her tongue with a look of annoyance on her face. Her calculative eyes looked at the rapier with disappointment. She turned around and ran back to the castle to alert the guards, she had a new mission.

Alert the king and captured Akihito.

…

(Akihito POV)

After looking in her head I saw all of her memories from this and her past life. She was an other worldly that killed her dad cause he was a gambling idiot that piled up debt from horse races and she killed him for life insurance.

Her mother also suffered from emotional breakdowns and became a cultist causing Hinata to plan on killing her, but she was transported here before she could get it done.

She was like 15 at the time and was just beginning her first year of highschool. Upon arrival, she was attacked by three bandits. She ended up gaining two Unique Skills and managed to kill the three bandits.

Some time after her arrival in the new world, Shizue Izawa took her in as a disciple. Hinata claims that Shizue was the only person who had been kind to her during her early years in the new world. Within a month, Hinata had surpassed Shizue in strength.

Hinata went on her own way and eventually became the Chief Knight of the Holy Ruberios Empire's Imperial Guard, as well as the Leader of the "Ten Great Saints".

At one point she discovered that the Western Holy Church was under the control of the "Vampire Princess", Demon Lord Luminous Valentine. She beat the Demon Lord's servants and finally confronted the Demon Lord herself. However, Hinata lost the battle.

After some negotiations, Hinata agreed to become Luminous' vassal as she deemed the Demon Lord's governing methods to be acceptable in the big picture. Nonetheless she keeps honing her abilities regardless in case she ever needs to fight the Vampire Princess again.

While it was "sad" and all that Akihito didn't really care. After all her life and her decision had nothing to do with him so, meh. He went through her head to see if she knew where Kayda, Mufasu, and Severus were.

She did and they were being held up inside a dungeon, with multiple ant-magic barriers covering them. They were getting weaker as time went on, as of now they had also been poisoned, so their health is slowly but surely deteriorating.

Akihito appeared in front of the castle that stood in the middle of the kingdom. What dungeon isn't at the bottom of the castle? With that way of thinking he went to the castles and he could see a small army guarding it.

"What is you-uck!!" Before the guard on the right finished talking Akihito already planted his hand into his throat and ripped out his esophagus.

These guards didn't sit around and immediately ran at Akihito with their swords out. The first one swung at his neck, but he blocked the sword with his right forearm and kicked him in the balls, feeling them explode from the force.

He then grabbed his arm and threw him to the side. The guard behind him ran in front of Akihito charging at him with his sword looking to stab him in the chest.

He stopped the sword with the tip of his finger and grabbed the blade pulling it and the guard towards him. With the guard in range Akihito gripped his neck and slammed him into the ground.

He was surrounded by 15 guards and he saw the rest run into the castle. He dashed to the one in front of him and the guard raised his sword in a wide slash. Akihito ducked under the slash and sprung back up, sending a devastating uppercutting the guard knocking his head and spin out of his body.

One guard to his left and another to his right ran at him and he jumped up with a backflip in the air. He landed on the shoulders of the guy to his right and stomped on his head.

His bones sounded like crunched bags of chips as his skull was smashed into pieces. Akihito jumped off of his body and with an ace kick he split the other guys body right down the middle. He then ducked under another sword slash and swept a guys legs.

As he was falling face first to the ground Akihito kicked his head in the opposite direction. The sound of his neck breaking was like the sound of breaking a stick.

At this point the guards were horrified. They started backing up as they looked at him. Of course Akihito wasn't going to let them run, so one by one he ripped off their limbs, choked them with their own intestines and ripped out their spines.

He was a bloody mess once he was done and he did it all with a little smirk. He wasn't into this type of stuff, but he wasn't unpleased with it either. Looking at the castle where he let the others run to, he waved his hand from right to left.

Suddenly a huge white arc of lightning struck the right side of the castle completely obliterating the top half. Akihito flew into the exposed castle and saw completely fried corpses and some were just ashes.

(Akihito POV)

I cocked my arm back and punched the floor I was standing on making it completely collapse on itself. A massive hole was made and I had a straight view of the basement.

I hopped down and saw that the guards were in a commotion. The moment they saw me their weapons were pointed at me. Quickly I took out [Blank] and with a wide slash I cut the heads off of three people.

I looked down the hall and saw that Kayda and the rest were all in their smaller forms and they were laying on the ground. I could hear them barely breathing. I decided to finish this quickly.

I held my sword with both hands and sped up my mind. Time stopped and I ran at a quart that had his sword raised and cut his body in half. I saw it slowly fading out of existence with no sign of blood or anything.

There was three of them standing on the left side of him and I grabbed one of their arms and ripped it off then I stabbed my sword in their forehead before pulling it out.

For the last ones I got into a quick draw stance and with swift movements their bodies were cut into pieces. I put my sword away and got to the cell that they were locked in.

Breaking the anti-magic barrier I picked them up and sat in the corner, while giving them some of my own magiculs. Slowly I was able to see that they were getting better and stronger as time went on.

Soon they were back to normal jumping on me and licking on my face. Smiling at this I let out a sigh.

"Alright listen up, now that you're all back to full power, how much do you want to destroy this kingdom?"

Hearing my question they all grew in size till they were as big as me. I teleported them outside the kingdom and they continued to grow bigger and bigger.

Kayda was a good 400ft tall even on all fours. Mufasu was standing at 394ft tall while Severus was the shortest being 289ft wide he was a tremendous 700 feet long.

As I stood on the ground looking at them I was sorta…proud? I started using super voice to communicate with them. I could hear the screams and cries of people as they saw these huge monsters looming over the kingdom. There was no doubt that closer kingdoms saw this and was freaking out as well.

"Get ready!!"

They opened their mouths and different colors of energy started building up in a ball.

"Aim!!"

I saw their eyes sharpen as they looked down on the kingdom in contempt. I could feel the hate flowing off of them.

"Fire!!!"

The beams of energy shot out of their mouths and started combining together and formed this dark red and black beam of energy.

[Image]

The beam smashed into the kingdom, but unlike the massive explosion I was prepared for, I saw a sort of spatial crack appear and Famas along with the beam of energy was gone.

No sound, no wind, no nothing. It was just gone. But this meant something. Their power was so great that it cracked space and time and now everything that was there is gone.

They shrunk back down to their normal size and stood at my side.

"I think we good to go back now. Who wants to give me a ride?" Kayda's body grew to about 200ft and we jumped on. Of course I could have flew there on my own, but I didn't want to.

…

(Third POV)

As Akihito flew back to Tempest, Rimuru and the rest had already killed everyone and the other worlders with them. Rimuru already had the barrier up so that the souls wouldn't be able to leave the area and Mia was just going along with them.

Rimuru was preparing to summon some people to find the last survivor. He was almost going into "sleep mode" because the Harvesting Festival was getting ready to start.

…

(Rimuru POV)

"I have prepared a feast. Come out!!" I said as I casted the summoning magic. I was going to use the 20,000 corpses as compensation for the summoning. In a flash of light three figures appeared before me.

'Hold out a bit longer.' I was forcing myself to not sleep so I could at least give out orders.

"To witness the birth of a new demon lord. How nostalgic." The figure in front said. He had huge black wings, black hair with a strand of red in it. He was also quite tall.

"Hey, there's something playing dead here. Find it and bring it to Ranga alive." I said quickly. The fatigue was getting to me.

"Ranga you can introduce them to everyone in town. I..have…" Before I could finish I was already unconscious.

…

(Third POV)

Ranga ran off to Tempest with a sleep Rimuru in his mouth. When he got there, he gave Rimuru to Shuna, who put him in a throne.

Mia was sitting there waiting restlessly as she tapped her foot on the ground. She was in the conference room waiting for Akihito. Instead of mad she was more bothered at the fact he didn't just tell her straight up what the problem was and he just suddenly disappeared.

Suddenly she felt a pulsing sensation go through her body and she felt like a part of her was coming closer to her. Knowing the feeling and what it meant she left the house and flew towards Akihito hoping to meet him halfway.

Back on Akihito's side Kayda suddenly stopped as she looked to her left.

"I got it from here. You guys can get to Tempest. I want you alert and helping with patrol." He said as he started floating off of Kayda.

She flew off and Akihito flew off to the east. Just as he flew off he felt something coming at him and fast, but once he turned and saw who it was he sighed as he saw Mia.

She flew right into him with a hug as she pulled his head into her chest, hugging him tightly. She pulled back and looked at him dead in the eye holding his face.

"Why didn't you bring me with you?" She asked seriously.

"I beg your pardon?" Akihito asked grabbing her wrist and moving them from his face.

"Why didn't you take me with you? I wanted to kill some of the guards as well and find everyone, but you left."

"I thought you wouldn't want to do that, so I left without you."

"I didn't want the whole kingdom yo be destroyed, but I wouldn't mind the killing knights and stuff." She said pouting as she crossbred her arms.

"Like a big child." He sighed.

"But in another note, can you feel Milim's energy right now? I was headed over there, because I could feel Carrions energy as well."

"I'm going too. Apparently Milim has declared war on Carrion. We know Demon Lord Clayman has a huge part in this and we think he somehow brainwashed Milim and Frey."

"Nah that's impossible for him to do that to Milim. Think about it. Milim's older than 20,000 years old and is the first demon lord not to mention the dragon princess. She was born from the very dragon that made the world we currently live in and Milim inherited most of his power." Akihito paused for her to digest the information.

"With that we can infer that she has some type of mental Immunity skill or something like it. Plus she definitely would have got a skill like that after her evolution to a true demon lord. Well Milim is wayyyyy smarter than she lets on, so let's go meet her." Akihito said.

"Where did you get that knowledge?" Mia asked.

"I was flashing through knowledge I consumed from the library. Also after this I have a few things I want to gift you."

Mia was surprised by this, but ultimately nodded as they flew off to Yuurazania, the beast kingdom.

…

Milim and Carrion could feel it. Two incredibly strong being were coming towards them. Carrion was extremely serious. He had already transformed and he still felt overwhelmed.

He was already going against Milim and there was no way he was winning that, but now this? He was on wits end with all these people going after him. He didn't even do anything.

Milim on the other hand knew these two energy signatures all too well. She knew it was her bestie Akihito and the person she treated as a sister Mia.

She wanted go and hug them both right now, but she was too deep into the plan to do it. She had to keep up the act that Clayman's mind skill was still working on her. Her and Frey didn't know what he was actually plan so they decided to let him think he was in control of Milim.

Now she has to keep the act of a brainless killing machine for Clayman to command. They weren't actually going to kill Carrion, but they would fake his death to make it seem she did kill him. As for why she didn't tell anyone was because she needed the realest performance she could get. After all Clayman was a sly demon lord and he would pick up on a fake performance immediately.

So she did what an old saying said to do. She deceived her allies to deceive the enemy.

At this point Akihito and Mia had appeared in front of both Carrion and Milim.

"Ah!, You're one of Rimuru's companions, right?" Carrion asked.

"Yes, I'm a friend. What's your situation?" Akihito asked as he and Mia kept their eyes on Milim, suddenly Milim looked like she went stiff, but it was only for a second.

Of course Mia felt that Milim was actually a little sad. She didn't want to do this, but had to for now.

"It seems Milim has finally decided to settle things. I just don't get it though. She's acting weird and not like herself at all." Carrion said with a strained smile. He knew he would loose if he fought, but his kingdom was on the line so he had no choice.

"I see. Mia can you handle this?" Akihito asked. Mia was surprised and so was Carrion. He never seen her in action, so he didn't judge, be he didn't believe she could win.

"Of course." Mia said and nodded. She then took out a dagger made of pure energy. They could feel the energy and danger radiating off the dagger.

Milim took out her Magic sword named Tenma.

"To think I would be able to see the sword thats cut down countless demon lords. If I die, at least I know I died protecting my kingdom." With that he dashed at Milim with his spear covered in energy.

"BEAST ROAR!!" He yelled as he let out a beam of energy. Milim stood there as the beam completely engulfed her body.

Carrion staggered a bit as he was breathing extremely hard.

"That took more than I expected." He said. Suddenly a huge cut wound opened up on his waist. Blood spewed out as he heals his sides. Akihito and Mia watched this and Mia finally decided to stop Milim.

Milim came out of the smoke and was transformed.

"Pretty weak." She muttered in a boring tone. Just then Mia appeared in front of her and she cut at Milim's head neck with the dagger. One they clashed they were in a standoff. They made direct eye contact and came into a silent agreement.

They would both make this the best performance Clayman will ever see, before his life is ending.
