Chapter 50 Let the wave begin...

"Where are they? only thirty seconds left till the wave" Said an irritated Raphtalia as she was stomping the ground impatiently.

"Don't worry, we're here" Said a voice from behind and as Raphtalia and the rest of the party turned to look at the arrivers they saw Issei and Kiyomi of course.

"What took you so long?" Aksed Raphtalia with a pout.

"Well we took a little more time than we anticipated" Said issei as he scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Well, that doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that they are here, so let's just focus on the wave" Said L'arc with a determined look.

"Yes, let's concentrate on the wave and after we can go on a date" Said issei as he looked at Raphtalia and Kiyomi who were fired up to end the wave as quickly as possible so that they could go out on a date with Issei.

"Five seconds" Said Theresa.

Suddenly they were transported to one of the biggest islands of Cal Mira.

"So it has begun" Said issei as he noticed the sky was not normal again.

"Alright, let's get into formation! me and L'arc in the front lines, Kiyomi and Theresa will be our support and Raphtalia our back up" Said Issei.

Everyone nodded and charged at the monsters that appeared in large numbers.

They saw a lot of adventurers as well as Motoyasu and his party charge at the monsters too and what surprised Issei was that Motoyasu actually used his brains as he made a formation too similar to issei's.

He and one of his party members attack with him while the rest were support, because he had mostly mages in his team.

"As source of thy power I order thee, decipher the laws of nature and enforce my targets and give them the power of a fearless dragon!" Roared Kiyomi as she enhanced issei's, L'arc's and Raphtalia's physical and magical abilities.

"As source of thy power I order thee, decipher the laws of sacred jewels, cast the brilliant protection for my targets!" Shouted Theresa as all of her jewels glowed and issei, L'arc and Raphtalia had a thin but strong layer of protection.

"Balance breaker!" Roared Issei.

"Welsh dragon balance breaker!" Roared Ddraig.

Issei decided not to use his new balance breaker as he chose to keep the best for last, plus these monsters weren't that much of a problem, but they certainly got a lot more stronger than the last time they had fought them.

[BOOST!] With a loud boost Issei and L'arc charged at the monsters killing them easily.

Many adventurers struggled and watched as the three heroes with their parties eliminated all of the monsters in the matter of seconds while they had to waste at least a half of a minute on one monster.

[BOOST!]

"Damn it! looks like the more we kill them the more new ones appear" Said Issei as he used an aura bullet at a herd of monsters.

"Kiyomi! we need air support!" Roared Issei.

"Roger that!" Replied Kiyomi as she took her original form and flew above all of the monsters and just used her enhanced fire breath or fireballs to eliminate them.

"Let's keep going! we are holding out pretty well" Said L'arc as he slashed more of the monsters with his scythe.

"Dragon's claw slash!" Shouted L'arc as he swung his scythe downwards and a golden slash in the air went through all of the monsters.

"Hell yeah! It's way easier now that I'm a cardinal hero too!" Shouted L'arc with excitement evident in his voice.

They kept fighting until they came to a clearing with no trees and saw even more monsters.

"Just where did they come from!?" Shouted Motoyasu behind issei's party.

"I don't know, but we need to-" Before issei could finish his sentence he was stopped by a few roars.

Everyone looked upwards and saw three red dragons that looked demonic, black horns, four black and red eyes.

While the two were fifteen meters in size, one of them was at least twenty meters.

Although they were smaller than Issei and Kiyomi it was still a huge annoyance.

While issei and his party were pretty much unfazed some of the adventurers were so scared that they barely could hold their weapons let alone fight.

"Raphtalia, Theresa, Get all of the adventurers to attack the monsters, Kiyomi, me and you will deal with those three pests" Said Issei mentally as he looked at the three dragons that were ready to unleash their attacks at the adventurers.

"Oh no you don't! Airstrike shield!" Roared issei and a green shield appeared in front of the people and protected them from powerful demonic fire breaths.

"Incursio balance breaker!" Roared Issei.

[Welsh Tyrant balance breaker!] Roared Ddraig and issei was in his upgraded balance breaker.

As soon as Issei equipped his armor hee took off into the air with Kiyomi not too far behind.

They flew past the three demonic dragons so that they would follow them.

They didn't want people to get hurt while they were fighting these three.

They were dragons too even if they were corrupted they were too powerful for regular people.

"Kiyomi, you will take those small ones and I'll take the bigger one" Said Issei mentally.

Kiyomi nodded as she turned the other way from issei as two smaller demonic dragons followed her.

The last one caught up and stopped mid air in front of Issei at least twenty meters away from him.

"So I'll take it you're a demonic dragon eh?" Said issei as he crossed his arms.

"What if I am? that doesn't matter anyways! you'll die by the all mighty Chayrvid!" Roared the dragon as he released his aura.

"You call that power? let me demonstrate real power" Said issei as his own domination aura overpowered Chayrvid's aura.

"J-juts because you are a little more powerful that doesn't mean that you can defeat the right hand of the demonic dragon general Attor!" Roared Chayrvid out of panic.

"Attor hm? the one I killed not too long ago? no wonder her right hand man is weaker than her, she was what? level 130? while you level 90" Aksed issei nonchalantly.

"Y-you w-what!? what a lie!" Roared Chayrvid out of pure fury as he charged at Issei.

Issei just flew to the side a little easily dodging Chayrvid's assault.

"Is that all you got?" Asked Issei with a voice that indicated that he was too bored.

Chayrvid turned around and glared at Issei.

"You killed my master and now you mock me! you will pay you trash!" Roared Chayrvid as he used a fire breath attack.

'Thats no ordinary fire, it seems like hell's fire but more potent and powerful' Thought Issei.

*Attention! player is correct! that flame is the most common flame amongst the demonic dragons but still powerful and gets even more powerful when the user of the flame level ups!*

'Huh so that's how it is.....could I steal that?' Asked issie mentally.

Before the system replied, issei used a counter attack.

[DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE!] Roared Ddraig as the flames went out completely.

*Attention! the player can steal their signature abilities by killing them and taking their magic cores.

Cores are their main source of magic, they come in different sizes, the bigger the core the more powerful and potent magic abilities of its owner.

They look like solid crystal balls, they are different in colours but the most common one is dark red that holds the common and weaker magic*

'So I could've stolen Attor's magic core?' Asked issei as he kept dodging attacks from Chayrvid who was getting more pissed by the second.

*Attention! that is correct but the only way to obtain the magic core is to slay demonic dragons in their dragon forms, if they are slayed in their human forms the cores get destroyed the moment you kill demonic dragon in their human form*

"Don't take me lightly and pay attention!" Roared Chayrvid as he charged at issei again.

"Don't bother me and just die already" Said Issei as he reeled his both fists back and small silver red balls appeared.

"Double Tyrant blast!" Roared issei as two massive silver red beams hit Chayrvid.

Chayrvid roared out of pure agony, he never felt pain like that in his entire life, his skin slowly melted, then his flesh and lastly his bones.

As the beam disappeared all Issei saw was a small dark red orb fall.

He quickly caught it before it fell to the ground and examined it.

'Now onto the main topic again, why then I got Attor's signiture poison magic if I didn't absorb her magic core but used her remains instead?" Asked Issei.

*Attention! that's because host still can get a unique shield form using their corpses but if the host chooses magic core to absorb instead host will get a more powerful, potent, and higher quality ability, it also will be easier for the host to master the ability and a higher level of succession on gaining the ability*

'Ah, that makes sense, thank you for the info' Thanked issei not that the system could reply.

*No problem master*

"Huh?" Issei let out a confused sound.

'Master?' asked issei but the system didn't reply.

'Hmm weird' Thought issei but shrugged it off as nothing.

Suddenly he was hit by a powerful dark red and black flames that sent him flying to the ground with a loud crash.

Thirty minutes earlier.

Kiyomi stopped and turned around to look at the two pests that were chasing her.

"So let's just get this over with, I have places to be" Said Kiyomi as she was excited for her date but the two demonic dragons snickered.

"Sorry, but you'll die today" Said one of the two.

"Yeah! it's your last day alive!" Said the other.

"Ha! like either of you could even scratch me!" Laughed Kiyomi loudly with pride.

"Grrr, we will show you the power of the mighty duo!" Roared both of them as they charged at Kiyomi.

"What an annoyance" Said Kiyomi with a bored expression.

As the two got where Kiyomi wanted them she let her powerful pink breath attack.

As it hit one of them while the other dodged just in time and saw that it's companion was just fried easily just like that.

He turned to look at Kiyomi and saw that she still had her bored look as she waited for him to do something.

He was feeling rage as he just witnessed his companion die like that to a freak like her too.

"You ugly shit! what did you do!" Roared the dragon as he charged at Kiyomi.

This time instead of feeling hurt Kiyomi felt anger as she remembered what issei told her about her beauty and she detected no lies from him that time so she was confident that she was extremely beautiful.

"I'm the most beautiful dragon in these lands!" Roared Kiyomi as she charged at her attacker with her jaws open.

As she was close enough she bit her opponent in the neck but she wasn't done yet as she unleashed her powerful breath attack once again and in a matter of seconds both dragons were defeated easily but not before the dragon said something disturbing that inflicted fear on Kiyomi.

"The....all mighty...general....Neme...sis....shall kill you all!" As the dragon mustered it's last strength to roar out a threat died painfully as it burned to crisp.

"N-nemesis!?" Roared Kiyomi out of fear.

Before she could go and warn issei she heard a loud explosion and saw a bunch of smoke and dust coming from the ground.

As she tried to figure out what happened there, she saw issei in his very damaged armor that was cracked and pieces of it destroyed and fallen with a lot of blood trying to stand up.

"Issei!" She roared before flying towards him at insane speed.

As she got to him she immediately made him drink the dragon's essence after she transformed into her human form and it healed his whole body while Ddraig repaired the armor.

"Wh-what was that?" Aksed issei weakly as he stood up.

"Issei! one of the generals is coming! his name is Nemesis and he is insanely strong we need to-" Kiyomi hastily tried to warn issei but then she was interrupted by a booming laughter.

""HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! Wow such weaklings! you think you have any chance at defeating demonic dragons!?" Roared amused voice.

As Kiyomi and issei turned to look at the source of the laughter they saw a dragon that had tough orange scales and golden eyes It had a long body like a snake with horns that looked like deer horns and amphibious eyes. It's scales flashed and black colors occasionally appeared here and there its scales were orangish-red.

"Nemesis..." Hissed Kiyomi because he hurt issei as other reasons.

"Oh Kiyomi! dear! how have you been!?" Roared amused dragon.

"I've been better" Groweled Kiyomi.

"Oh c'mon! don't you miss your uncle?" Aksed Nemesis as he faked a hurt voice.

'Uncle? wait.... didn't she tell me that she knew only one of the generals?.....I'll have to ask about that after the wave' Thought Issei.

"You were my uncle in the underworld.....but that was all a lie.....you pretended to be one only to hurt me..." Said Kiyomi saddened as she remembered what Nemesis did to her.

....FLASHBACK...

"Here, come little one, don't be scared" Said Nemesis to a small white dragon that was scared of everyone's gazes.

Everyone looked at her with disgust evident in their eyes and killing intent as everything around burned.

That's right, it was her homeland invaded by demonic dragons and completely destroyed.

She was the only one left alive.....well that's what she thought.

She was too young to even speak properly no lees when she was really scared.

In the underworld she was always treated like crap but not by Nemesis.

He always treated her kindly with care despite literally being a demonic dragon.

"Uncle, why does everyone hate me?" Asked a little bigger Kiyomi.

"Don't pay attention to those brats little one, know that you are precious to me and I'll always be there for you and protect you no matter what" Said Nemesis as he looked at Kiyomi.

"Alright uncle, I love you!" Roared Kiyomi with a happy voice as she smiled at Nemesis.

He always told her stories mostly about previous lord Tyrant and the underworld's history, he always comforted her whenever she was hurt by someone who called her a freak, ugly, abomination, he was always there for her.

Nemesis was always on her side and always protected her almost like his own daughter.....until one faithful day...

"General Nemesis! Lord Dracul wants you to meet him in his meeting room privately" Informed one of the subordinates.

"Alright I'm coming" Said Nemesis as he flew to meet Dracul.

'What does that bastard want now?' Thought Nemesis with an unhappy expression.

As he got to his destination he met Dracul.

"So what do you need from me this time?" Asked an irritated Nemesis.

"I wanted you to be my first subject" Said Dracul as he looked at Nemesis.

Nemesis had a confused expression.

Suddenly Dracul started to murmur something that even Nemesis couldn't hear and suddenly Nemesis felt extreme pain throughout his whole body mostly his head.

He roared from the immense pain until he passed out.

Moments later he woke up and started at Dracul.

"You can go and carry out your usual duties" Said Dracul

Nemesis nodded and left obediently.

After some time still a small Kiyomi saw Nemesis and she flew towards him excited and happy to see him again.

"Uncle!" Roared Kiyomi as she landed in front of Nemesis.

Nemesis just stared at Kiyomi with a blank expression.

"Uncle?" Asked Kiyomi with confusion evident all over her face and voice as she looked him in the eyes and saw his eyes became dull.

"I'm not your uncle" Said Nemesis sternly.

Kiyomi looked at him with a hurt and betrayed expression.

"Wh-what? uncle! don't joke around like that....it's really not funny" Said Kiyomi as tears were close to bursting out.

"I'm not joking, get lost you freak I have a job to do" Said Nemesis with disgust in his voice as he pushed her aside with his wing and walked away from a hurt and crying Kiyomi.

From that day he never helped her again, he never comforted nor he cared about her....

... FLASHBACK END....

"So what? gonna cry again?" Laughed Nemesis as Kiyomi got even more angry.

"Issei, let me show this moron his place" Said Kiyomi without looking at issei as she never let Nemesis out of her sight.

"But-" Issei wanted to protest but he saw her serious gaze and decided to let her do her thing.

"Ahhhh, alright just be careful, my system is still analyzing his level" Said issei as he started to boost.

[BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOOOST] Roared Ddraig.

Issei kissed Kiyomi.

[Transfer!] Roared Ddraig as all of the boosts were transferred to Kiyomi through the kiss.

Issei backed away as he looked at her with a concerned face.

"It's okay issei..... I'll be fine" Said Kiyomi as she transformed into her true form again before flying up into the sky to face off against Nemesis.

"That's troublesome...achoo!" Sneezed issei.

"For some reason I feel like someone is making fun of my sword skills" Grunted Issei.

[To be continued].....
