Chapter 138 - 126: Tiamat (1/2)

As soon as he stepped foot on the land of the forest, he sensed many creatures that would be considered myths in human civilizations.

*Rustle* *Rustle*

He saw mythical creatures staring at him in confusion, but then they ran away when they noticed the smell of danger in him.

He ignored them, since they were pathetically weak. But he sensed a creature that is stronger than all of the creatures in this area, and even though it has dragonic features, he was sure that this reptilian creature is not a hydra. It might be a dragon.

He wanted to just fly over there really quick and enslav-- tame that creature and just be done with it, but he decided to take his time to appreciate nature for a bit.

He walked through the woods while humming a song called ”First Love” by Utada Hikaru. She was his idol back when he was a child in his previous life, and not to mention she was absolutely beautiful, for him at the time at least.

As he strolled through the forest like he was just walking in his own backyard, he noticed a bright shade of red through the corners of his eyes. He saw a crimson haired child, and noticed immediately that she's a devil. There was also a silver haired woman dressed in some kind of maid costume and two other children with her, though he can see the silver haired woman looking at him with cautious eyes while forming a guarding position to protect the three children behind her.

”Who are you?” The silver haired woman asked warily.

”I'm Hikaru, I was just strolling to pass some time until I go meet the giant lizard that lives somewhere around her. So you don't have to mind me.” He then turned around.

He was about to walk away, when huge ice spikes sprouted from the ground behind him, attacking him directly towards his head.

He didn't bother looking at him and just let it hit him.

And just as he expected, the ice spikes shattered when it tried to pierce his skin.

The silver haired woman tensed even more and shot hundreds of ice needles towards him, but all of them shattered upon contact with his skin!

He sighed, and turned back to Face the silver haired woman again.

'I guess I will have to show off some of my power.'

Why is everybody attacking him so suddenly nowadays?

”You know, you could've just ignored me and walked away, right? I really don't want to start some kind of fight with you devils, but if you insist,” He snapped his fingers, and thousands of black giant rasengans the size of mountains appeared in the sky, and then he finished, ”this happens!”

The three devil children behind her shivered in fear, so she teleported them back in their home so that they won't get injured from this battle… at least she's thinking this is a battle.

”Ho, so you sent those kids away? Smart choice, and dumb at the same time.” He mocked her, ”You could've just surrendered and I would walk away. Is this what they call the sin of pride that you devils have? How utterly stupid!”

The silver haired woman had an evidently annoyed face, ”Insult me how many times you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you have trespassed into our territory while the young sister of the current Lucifer and her peerage was here!”

Hikaru just shook his head and just brought his finger down, thus those thousands of balls of energy were brought down towards her one by one!

She coated her fists with enhancing magic and deflected each of those giant balls of energy the moment they came close to her!

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

10 of the giant rasengans that Hikaru made exploded somewhere far away the moment the silver haired woman, or Grayfia as he saw her name on top of her head using his special eyes, deflected them all!

Thousands of trees were uprooted by the force of her punches and the descending giant balls of energy!

He was quite disappointed when he saw her panting a bit, so he stopped the barrage of giant energy balls towards her.

She had the power level of 8500, so she must be a noble in the underworld, where the devils live. Now that he thinks about it, isn't he in literal hell? He must've done something bad in his past life to be here! (Note: A joke)

”Is that the best you can do? You're weak, and you must have already realized that I could've just killed you on the spot the moment you focused your attention on the balls that I made, right?” Hikaru said without any contempt in his voice, just disappointment.

She wiped some sweat dripping off her face and said, ”You're…*pant*… joking right? I'm not even the least tired!” She lied.

She is almost hitting her limit. Those giant energy balls were no joke, just one of those could've obliterated a city in the devil territories! This guy is strong; she can see that now. She should've surrendered the moment she got the cue earlier.

Anyway, she has to buy some time before her master/husband comes here. She hates to admit it, but she hopes that guy ignores his duty as a Maou and comes to rescue her.

Hikaru just sighed, and said in a voice full of boredom, ”You're boring.” With another snap of his fingers, the giant energy balls in the sky vanished without a trace. He turned his back around, and left with these words:

”Try becoming strong, you might be able to last a few minutes against me. Jeez, I didn't know you were the wife of the current Lucifer! I can certainly enjoy messing with you devils, but before my peerage is full, I won't do it for now. Train yourself, because in the future, this world shall know despair!”

Then he left without even looking back at her. It was insulting, but she knows when to stand aside. Whatever he meant with his words doesn't matter, what does matter is that he's a very dangerous individual! Even her husband would think twice before fighting her, but this guy's magic power seems to know no limit! Even she would find it difficult to create those many energy balls! But now that she thought about it, those weren't just normal energy balls, those things were made of chakra.

She has to tell this to her husband about this!

She teleported away immediately.

(With Hikaru)

She was… pathetically weak. Normally, those with 5000 or more power level will have the strength to at least resist him a bit… well, who is he kidding? Even those who have around 100 Million power levels wouldn't be able to put a scratch on him.
