Chapter 246: The Crimson-White Fledgling Tyrant.

Chapter 246: The Crimson-White Fledgling Tyrant.

Assure Hestia doesnt cripple herself. The solar core is currently damaged and she has shown little interest in fixing it, so adjust its output by reducing the thermal energy fueling her flames. Redirect it into Mana and Stamina recovery. If you fail this task, I shall destroy all of you.

You piece-of-shit Kramps! We are all part of your granddaughter, too! Dont threaten us!

Yeah, what Parallel Mind 2 said! Were being oppressed by a tyrant!

Number 2 and Number 3, if you two are done, how about you resume your stations and help us out? Original Mind is about to attack!

How long has it been since we last took control of things? Oh right, when Original Mind went berserk after Shiterno messed with our skills and forgot to tone down the pain. And, once again, Original Mind was going out of control and now we had to ensure she wouldnt go around destroying everything like last time.

Fortunately, unlike last time, we made some arrangements with O.M. where, if she went crazy again, we would retain the ability to cast spells and control a few functions of our body. Although we were copies of her mind, we were still creations of the Divine System, so we needed her permission beforehand to be productive.

During the last berserk moment, we had to stop our rampaging body, but this time, I dont think we could stop her before she quenched her [Battle Frenzy (Major)]. Her mind was focused on a single thought kill. Our job now was to help her fulfill that goal while preventing too much collateral damage.

[Bearer of Kargryxmors Blood] has integrated certain abilities from Titles: [The Light], [Divine Inferno]. Seeking permission for activation Individual [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has usurped control over [The Light] and [Divine Inferno]. Permission automatically granted

Holy shit. Hey, Manager Mind, our hair is changing color! One of the nine other parallel minds called out to me.

Looking through our bodys eyes, I could see our crimson hair slowly turn snow-white and begin to glow like a lightbulb. Upon checking within our body for the reason for this phenomenon, it appeared that our general mana type was changing to the holy element. In other words, if we were a monster in a certain RPG game, we were becoming holy type alongside our usual fire type.

Has to be from that message. Is this one of the benefits of [The Light]?

But a reply to my question didnt come. The System didnt send me another notification to explain what abilities we received. Kramps said something about unlocking the true power of his blessing, but what exactly did he do? There was no information for us to work with.

Unfortunately, we did not have any more time to work on that particular issue since Origin Mind finished roaring.

Dammit! What is with that roar of yours?! I thought I was about toWhat?! The demonkin complained since we used [Draconic Roar], but he blocked it with an [Air Shield]. Was he a mage? We did not see him conjure a magic circle for it.

In any case, while the demonkin was speaking, our body used [Gale Steps], closing the distance between us. We used [Instant Heat Ignition] on our right hand, flaring up in bright flames despite it raining all around it. With [Inferno Coating], none of the flames on our body could die out for any reason without our consent, meaning we were creating a steam cloud around us.

Belarghk! he spat out as we landed a fire punch to his stomach.

But what made me wonder more was that, as we swung our fist, the flames around us created a trail behind us, lingering there before gathering around our fist. They grew in size, creating a propulsion effect like our rocket boosters, shooting the demonkin upwards.

[Solar Beam] already?! I shouted as our body gathered up the small amounts of solar energy inside our core, shooting it toward the demonkin in a concentrated laser. The demonkin used a [Wind Blast] to shoot himself out of the trajectory of the attack, landing on a nearby roof.

Oh shit! Everyone, get to work! Stop the laser prematurely, deactivate any [Corrosive Fire] powers, conjure up some [Air Shield] around Eshes, Alikars, and Anivhs bodies! And start playing [My Darkest Thoughts]! I gave out my commands to the other parallel minds. We had to support our body!

[Music Resonation (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Staring out the window while it rains

No one here to talk, silence is all I have

So I delved into my thoughts and wondered, What if?

That slightly depressing song we wrote for Ellaine to control KleaHatma began playing in the background through [Aerokinesis], doing everything in our power to forcibly stopp our body from spending too much solar energy on the laser. Kramps words about permanently crippling ourself still lingered in our mind; we had to control our usage of the solar core.

The pain has dulled ever since we returned to the surface, but once Original Mind used [Solar Beam] again, the pain started to return. Thankfully, we were currently in the third movement of [Symphonie des Feuergottes] minuet. Our offensive power wasnt as great as it could be in this phase, but our defenses and regeneration were superb right now. Our Mana and Stamina pools were quickly recovering from the fight with Eithalr.

The laughing kid stomping loudly upstairs

The damn lovebirds flirting on the streets

Those rich asses living in their golden bubbles

I just wish they would all just disappear

Argh! What are these sounds? By Lord Marsven, why does it feel so hard to control this form Urgh, arrgk!

The figure of the demonkin began to morph. Flesh and muscles began to twist around, contorting into impossible forms for something with a humanoid body. Eventually, the flesh warping stopped and the demonkins true form was revealed a single horn on the left side of his face, four eyes, long, ungroomed hair flowing down his back, and a single thick, hairless pink tail. There was only one word to describe this form ugly.

N-No, why?! Gaaaaaaaaaaah! No, no, no, no, no, not this face! Not this face! This isnt worth showing to the world! Morph, morph, I face the original sin of my bloodline, I call upon my Envy to surface, Original Sin: Demiurge!

But nothing happened.

N-No, youuuuuuu! What have you done to me, you slave of that unworthy Goddess?! Why can I not switch away from this obscene form! This isnt what I look like! The demonkin lashed out at us.

Because [My Darkest Thoughts] is a song we created to counter the power of demons. Good to know that it also seemed to reveal a demonkin of envys true form. I spoke my thoughts out to the other parallel minds, but obviously it wouldnt reach the demonkin. Our body couldnt gloat and speak what we say, but I couldnt lose this chance to do so, even if it was redundant.

After all, we parallel minds shared our Original Minds emotions, and, right now, we wanted this guy to suffer for everything he did. He deserved no mercy.

Kraaah! Our wings flapped, sending scale-dust around the demonkin and with a snap of our fingers, everything exploded.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

[My Darkest Thoughts] significantly weakened demonkin, but it also meant we couldnt play combat songs to buff ourselves like with [Dragon Fire]. We had to rely on our current strength.

But our body didnt need to hear this from us. It was obvious enough, even to our berserk Original Mind.

With [Solar Beam]s buff active, flames were exploding from underneath our scales even as we unleashed a dragon breath at the demonkin. He dodged it by jumping onto another roof. As if we had no control over the fire breath, the flames fanned around the area, spreading to every building it could.

Scheie!

Use [Pyrokinesis] and I wanted to give a command to the other minds, but for some reason, our vision suddenly became completely muddy, and in the next second, we were behind the demonkin!

W-What?! the demonkin gasped.

Flashfire, our body mumbled before landing another fire punch to his stomach, sending him crashing far away from the orphanages ruins like a bullet. As the demonkin struggled to get himself up after crashing to the ground, our vision went muddy once again before reappearing behind him once again.

Shit!

But this time, black mist gathered around his hand, materializing into a black sword made from voldunna, which he used to block our next punch at the last moment. Still, the sheer force of our attack was enough to blast the demonkin away. And then it repeated.

Our vision muddied and we appeared somewhere close to the demonkin. He would parry our attack, but he would still be blown away further and further away from Eshes body. One, two, three, four, and so on and so on. I had no idea how our body was able to do this.

I got it! Parallel mind #4 yelled. Its the fire! Shes teleporting towards the fire she spread around beforehand! Thats [Flashfire]s effect!

We still had no idea exactly what Kramps did, but we now knew that it actually gave us a pretty crazy ability. Knowing this, I looked into our senses, noticing that our body was intensely preoccupied with our hearing, touch, and smell whenever the vision muddied.

[Flashfire] wasnt some kind of teleport ability, but rather it was a high-speed movement towards any flame around us. But, due to the extreme speed involved, it was nearly impossible to see. Our body was focusing on the sound of the demonkins breathing, their smell, and the feel of the wind against our skin. Even if we couldn't see anything during [Flashfire], our other senses compensated for it.

The moment we were far enough from the orphanage for our taste, we dashed with [Flashfire] and conjured up a house-size [Scorching Sun] over us, aiming to end the demonkin with this one hit.

Damn you, do not underestimate me, Aurena pawn! Black mana surrounded his hand before an ominous purple-colored ball shot out from his hand. Mist Ball!

Demonic energy. It felt similar to the demon abilities KleaHatma could conjure up as well as that weird morphing the demonkin underwent earlier. The two spheres collided, causing a spell duel between the two of us, but thanks to all the power-ups we had active right now, we were pushing the demonic energy ball back.

The black streaks on his face glowed us as he roared, causing the ball to grow larger and larger. We werent losing the advantage, but I could feel Original Mind becoming annoyed. As such, with our spare hand, we emitted a bright light in our hand, without any spells, at the same time as our white hair lit up.

With this light, we smacked the two balls, somehow causing the space around them to literally crack. When it broke, it echoed like glass shattering from a powerful blow, turning the entire area completely black before the light returned. The two giant balls were gone.

How was this even possible was a mystery to me, but I could guess that this was part of our boon from [The Light]. We literally emitted light, something we normally couldnt do without using [Shine]. The fact that we erased what was inside that area was true magic, and it absolutely frightened us parallel minds that this power was in our hands.

And we werent the only one; the demonkin, too, was flabbergasted at what we had done. Before he could react, we unleashed [Dreadflare Aura], blowing him away from us. He crashed through a building while we parallel minds deactivated [Dreadflare Aura].

We wanted to continue the assault, but a sudden sharp pain stung our chest like a giant needle, causing us to roar out as it kept worsening. A chilling cracking sound resounded from our chest area as we were unable to continue moving, falling onto our knees as heat began to escape our body in the form of flame waves.

Solar core overheating! Turning fire into white flames to help cool things down.

Turning solar energy into mana and nutrients. Hey, I need help over here, we need to do all of it manually!

Shit! A crack in our solar core confirmed! No idea how to fix it but its probably from either overheating or mana usage. Deactivate any unnecessary mana usage, including the Symphonie! Keep the music!

No spells, no high maintenance buffs, or skill-based power boosts. Our glaive was also in our storage, but it seemed like our body had no intentions of taking it out. We were relying purely on our dragon and physical abilities at this point. Kramps warned us this could cripple us if we werent careful, so it couldnt be helped.

Daaaaaaamn yoouuuuu! Gluk GuuuAAAAARRRRGH! We felt a surge of energy from inside the building that the demonkin had flown into. [Detection Sensor] warned us how the target was growing in strength, and our instincts began to warn us to be careful. FooOOOurgGrh LOOOrghhhH MAARRRSVEEEEEEN!

Long, spiked tentacles shot out of the building at me, which I dodged. They dug into the ground, and dragged the demonkin out. What crawled out looked nothing like him. It was a giant mass of black flesh with his face fused onto it. We were struck with a strong sense of deja vu.

The troll shaman and Davison!

I pushed myself up, snapping my head towards that voice. And there I saw them.

E-ELLAINE!

My party. Saori, Tasianna, Ellaine, Grimnir, Uno, Song, Sarasa, and Quatre. With the exception of Shoyi, all of them were there.

Tears began to stream from my eyes, accompanying the rain, as I ran towards them, embracing Ellaine the moment we were close enough.

Y-Youre alive! Youre alive! I cried out, touching Ellaines face to make sure. She wasnt wearing her armor and her clothes seemed like some spares Saori had in her storage, but I didnt care. You didnt die! Waghaghagah Siiierpf! You didnt die, thank goodness, youre alive. Youre all alive! I didnt lose any of you!

H-Hestia Ellaine tried to say something but I didnt listen.

Hestia, where is Its alright. Its alright, were here. Dont w-worrrry. I could feel Saoris shaky voice as she caressed my back, supporting me as I didnt want to let go of Ellaine.

Lady Hestia, were all here. Were all safe. So did Tasianna.

Woof! our four garms barked as they came closer.

I could also feel Grimnirs strong hand tapping my back, but he kept quiet. I didnt know what he was thinking. I wanted to know, though. I wanted to listen to all of my companions voices. I wanted to selfishly have them with me forever.

Why Why couldnt everything be more peaceful?

A note from AbyssRaven

And with that, Hestia has killed a demonkin in the most explosive way possible in her berserk mode but at what cost?

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
