Nemesis

3 months go by. I'm now 11. Aside from training and cultivating, I haven't done much else.

My cultivation is progressing at an insane pace. In 3 months I have almost doubled my power. If before I was as strong as a low class devil, now I am starting to reach mid class level strength.

Additionally cultivation seems to be refining my physique as well. My muscles have become more pronounced. I'm becoming ripped.

As I look into the mirror, I look increasingly more similar to Meliodas, which is a bit worrysome. I know that I'm probably not going to be a midget, however I can't help but worry. That drives me to measure my height regularly and so far... well, there is a basis for my worries.

...Anyway, today we have an off day, where we don't train. Every sunday is an off day, since putting too much pressure into training can backfire.

As usual, I'm together with my gang, Nemesis and Christopher. We are chatting and relaxing at the town/village sqare fountain.

As a sidenote, the village we live in has about 7000 devil inhabitants. There is a fallen angel settlement near here as well. Around 20km north, where around 3000 fallen angels live.

The clothing style is 'simple' I suppose. It reminds me of medival style clothing that I remember from my memories back on earth.

I'm wearing a brown tunic, with loose brown pants and simple footwear. Nemesis has a ankle length skirt on and a long sleeved blouse. Chris has a similar outfit to mine.

At the moment, Chris was telling us, how his neighbours father pissed off his mom and had to sleep in the garden, yesterday, when a flying rock comes my way.

*Click*

I tilt my head a bit and the rock passes me, hitting the fountain.

We all turn to the direction the rock came from and see a group of boys, with various appearances, the tallest being 160cm tall. They seem to be around our age and we seem to have somehow ticked them off.

Before I can even respond, Nemesis unloads on them.

"HOW DARE TOU LITTLE FAGGOTS THROW SHIT AT US?!" Her purple hair sways a bit, as her magic gushes out.

"Relax Nem." I quickly stand up and pat her on the shoulder. She looks at me with a frown and calms down a bit. But then turns back toward the group and glares at them murderously.

Nemesis is a pampered child. Her parents and older sister boisterously cheer her on, down to the simplest thing. This has caused her to develop a haughty personality, like a princess syndrome.

The things that are keeping it in check is her harsh training, where she endures hardship and gets beat down, in addition to me and Chris calming her episodes down.

Thanks to that, she is very confident in herself and isn't that big of a tyrant.

Her haughtyness makes it hard for her to make friends, but luckily for her, me and Chris don't mind it.

She consideres us as family, so she never seriously lashes out toward us.

However, blatant provocation like the current situation, makes her lose her faculties, or in simpler terms, she loses her shit.

"You kids looking to die?" She lowers her voice, while frowning and clenching her little fists.

The lead kid, who threw the rock at me points at us and laughs.

"Haha, look I told you they were lame. Both of them are hiding behind a girl. Pfft, such cowards." He jeers. The other kids laugh along with him.

"Oh dear." Chris comments, while looking at Nem.

"Ahh shit." I exasperatedly sigh.

'You idiots just set off a hellhound on your asses.'

Nemesis trembles and looks down.

"Huhuhu." A quiet chuckle escapes her lips, then escalating into a full blown laughter, as she raises her head.

"Hahahahahahaha."

By the tone of her voice, you'd think that the little girl is laughing out of happiness. However as soon as you look at that insane, twisted smile on her face, you'd balk at the sight of her.

Me and Chris just back off and sit back down at the ledge of the fountain.

"She is too far gone, we can't stop her." Chris tiredly says to me.

"Yeah, interfering now would only piss her off more." I exasperatedly respond back.

"What are you laughing? Are you stupid? Look the stupid girl has gone crazy haha." The same kid jeers to his friends again.

Nemesis kicks off the ground and arrives in front of them faster than they can react. She grabs the same kid by the hair and slams his head to the ground.

She doesn't let go after that, instead she repeatedly slams his head on the ground, again and again.

The boys face becomes unrecognisable after about 20 times and there is an impressive pool of blood on the ground.

The boys friends look at Nemesis in shock and freeze, while their friend is getting pummled.

Done brutalizing the boy, Nem stands up and looks at the rest of them with an eerie smile.

"Kill" She exclaims in a happy tone and attacks the next one.

We leisurely observe her beat down and brutalise 4 kids with her bare hands. Nem has trained for 5 years, so these kids, even if they're bigger, are nothing to her.

Once she is done, she sighs and comes back to us. She has a bit of blood on her hands, face and clothes, but other than that, she is unscathed.

"Let's go." I say, as she reaches us. If we stay around we might get in trouble. This isn't the first time one of us has let loose.

We leave the bleeding boys behind and go to my place to get Nem cleaned up.

When we arrive, mother greets us from the living room.

"Ooh little Micah you brought your friends. Hello!" She cutely greets them.

"Hey." "Yo." They casually greet her back. We have spent time in each others houses, so we're all familiar with each others parents.

"Ah! Nemesis is all bloody. What did you do this time?" Mom comes over and crouches in front of Nem, examining her.

"Some kids threw rocks at us, so she took care of them." Chris tells her.

"Oh ok. Come on, let's get your pretty face cleaned up." She stands up and takes Nem by the hand. Nemesis is very fond of my mother, since she pampers her as much as her own parents pamper her.

Nem briefly glances back toward us and then goes along with my mother.

Me and Chris go sit down on the couch and joke around. From time to time we can hear Nem giggle. Looks like they're having fun.

The thing about Nemesis is that, she has a twisted personality.

That's probably due to the fact that when she was 5, she went missing for 2 months. Eventually my father found her and brought her back.

She was kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to some drug farm in the underworld. The things she saw and experienced there, probably twisted her.
