Back Again
---
I had arrived here once more. The red sky and eerie forest. The Familiar Forest. The place I found Mochi and Umbra, my familiars.
This time I was with my peerage members-Garp and Yato.
"This looks like the real underworld."
Garp said with a smile. He always had a smile on his face.
"Yeah." Yato nodded. I looked at Yato's clothes.
"You really like the Kimono huh?" I asked him. He was wearing dark colored Kimono. It suited him with his ponytail.
"Yeah. It's comfortable."
I nodded; it suited him so I could not say anything, and I looked at Garp he was wearing a blue-t-shirt unbuttoned and brown pants.
While I wearing formal clothes suiting for a devil heir.
'We definitely had outfit problem'
I had already sensed Zatouji.
"You can come out."
With a white smoke, he arrived doing a..Jiraya pose?
"Who is...he?" Yato lazily asked
Zatouji now wore something that resembled Ash Ketchum.
"I am Zatouji! The soon to be familiar master!" He declared.
I had only communicated with him by using spell. It was my first time meeting with him in real.
"Greetings Lord Vael." He formally greeted me, and I nodded.
"So, these are your peerage members? Excellent. They are so young and yet so powerful."
He exclaimed.
"So, Zatouji. Will you join my peerage?"
"Nope." He replied and I nodded.
'His skills are not eye-catching but the item he possesses, [The Familiar Box] sure is.'
"Alright. Recommend some familiars for my boys and make sure to guide them." I said as I walked off.
"May I ask, where are you going?" Zatouji asked.
"Exploring."
"It's dange-
UNFURL
I flew off.
..
Flying was an awesome feeling. I flied through the familiar forest's sky. I could sense strong presence.
One such presence was suffocating. I knew it was the presence of Chaos Karma Dragon-Tiamat. She is depicted as a rampaging dragon in Supernatural History.
A legendary dragon, the strongest among the Five Great Dragon Kings.
...And my slime happened to be near her lair.
'I hope this does not end badly.'
I flew there, trying my best to hide my presence with control of [LifeForce] but I knew it would be futile against the Dragon King, Even El Cid could detect me.
There I saw-Mochi, he had a stronger presence than previously.
'Hey! Mochi~"
I called out to my slime, our mental link connecting us telepathically.
'Master!'
I flew down. I furled my wings back. He jumped towards me as I caught him, placing him on my shoulder.
'So, why are you here? This close to-
CHILLS
I felt chills go down my spine, a suffocating presence.
'Tiamat'
"Come here, little devil"
My instincts told me to run as far as possible and to never come here, sweat drenched my shirt.
'Shit'
But I had to go there.
'Wh-Who is it, Master?'
Mochi's voice was all shaken up, but I pat his head.
"Don't worry"
I walked towards the place. It was a large cave, larger than some mountains but it was eerily dark.
I entered the cave, and I instantly felt the change in energy.
'Some Kind of Space Magic?'
It felt like I was in a different dimension, I could feel the energies around me, strong and oppressive energy and then I saw in the darkness.
Dark blue eyes staring at me and just as I saw those enchanting eyes, the world changed-
Darkness became light and the cave lit up from the blue plants surrounding the entirety of caves. It was like I was in a mystical place.
And in front of me laid a beautiful blue western dragon who was peering into my very being.
The feeling of suffocation had not left instead by a different feeling. It was instinctual fear.
'The irony of a devil having power over fear. Fearing a being. All because of this damn slime who had already hid inside my clothes'
"What is your name, devil?"
I knelt down doing a formal bow. The only time I had done this bow were to the Great King and the Four Devil Kings.
"I am Vael Beleth."
"Beleth huh. Do you know what will happen to you now?"
Don't kill me please.
"I will give you a mission, locate my treasures and return it to me."
"Sure"
'Just let me go, I will never come here again'
"Here take this-
The space tore apart and a book came out.
'What's up with these powerful beings giving me books?'
Hoh~It materialized as a book?"
Even Tiamat seemed to be surprised by the book. And 'materialized as a book' What is its other forms then.
The Dragon King laughed, and I heard the answer.
"I had found this thing in one of my travels. The only reason I was able to locate this was because of one of my treasures. This carries an energy from the time of the Ancient Gods and the gap that exists between the worlds"
'Ancient Gods? And she means Dimensional Gap, doesn't she?'
"The same type of energy that you seem to have although a miniscule amount. I don't how you seem carry this energy, but it certainly is interesting.''
'The energy from the Dimensional Gap or the Ancient Gods?'
"What kind of energy are you referring to?"
I asked the Dragon King.
The book now floated in front of me.
[StorageMagic]-I placed it.
"I don't know the answer of it. Just start reading whatever that thing is and once you do, I hope you may find the answer of it. For now-
The Dragon King glowed a blue light as her form shrunk and, in an instant, - a beautiful woman with straight and long, beautiful pale blue hair and deep blue eyes blue eyes appeared.
I could not speak a word before she pulled me and lightly kissed me in the lips. I felt a surge of energy come through her lips to mine.
This will help you locate my treasure, now go. Little Devil"
I found my body get flung back. My eyes closed due to the bright light and when I opened my eyes, I found myself outside the...cave?
'The large cave was nowhere to be seen.'
Although I could still feel the faint presence of something huge.
"Oi. Mochi."
I looked at the slime, it seems to be unconscious.
'I don't know what the fuck is going on. I better contact Ajuka and tell him everything.'
UNFURL
I flew back to where my peerage was. I saw them-
'Why do these two have-Wyverns? Same familiars, really?'
I looked at the two wyverns-
The first wyvern was massive, its dark red scales giving it a menacing presence. Built like a tank, it stood tall with a heavily muscled frame and thick, armored plating covering its body.
The second wyvern was smaller and sleeker, its shimmering blue scales reflecting the light. With a more agile build, its wings were large compared to its body, hinting at incredible speed and maneuverability.
But what surprised me was that Yato had the red wyvern while Garp had the second one.
"Hey, Lord Vael!" Garp screamed and pointed at his wyvern as I expected it was the blue one-"This one is mine."
He had a huge grin on his face.
"Opposites huh"
They nodded and seemed to want to speak but Zatouji interrupted.
"I had them take on different wyverns to counter their weakness."
I reached the ground and Zatouji's expression changed.
"Why do you have the Chaos Dragon's energy lingering around you!? Don't tell me you managed to make her your familiar!?" He screamed and I could see the Wyvern's and my peerage member's eyes widen.
"I wish, I could. I just talked with her."
I said but Zatouji seemed to not believe me, but my expression made it clear I did not wish to further speak about this.
I moved towards the Wyvern; they lowered their heads, and I patted the two.
"What are their names?"
Yato and Garp both looked confused.
"You two don't have names?"
They shook their heads, and I looked at Garp and Yato. My eyes doing the talking.
Yato jumped and he screamed-"I name you-Red!"
Why was he jumping and screaming?
"Then I name you-Blue" I heard Garp's loud voice.
Wow-Red and Blue and why were they screaming?
I looked at Zatouji who had a smug expression on his face.
'It was his going huh'
The Wyverns also looked happy. They were happy with names like Red and Blue.
"Can we take them to human world?" Yato asked me and I nodded "Sure, if they can shrink their forms"
Yato and Garp looked at their familiar.
"We can" Red's deep voice resounded, and they shrunk their size.
They became small...So small in fact that Red sat on Yato's head while Blue became comfortable in Garp's huge shoulders.
"Let's leave now." I said and they nodded their heads.
Before that-
"Zatouji. You sure you don't want to join my peerage?"
"Yup" He replied, and I nodded.
[Teleportation Magic]
And we arrived in human world again-Mochi still sleeping inside my clothes.
Umbra had been guarding the house.
