Chapter 99: Strip Club Hijinks

September 28th, 2089

Vivians POV

I gazed around the blood-spattered, corpse-strewn room where the Royal Police Force attempted to apprehend the Demon Lord Dante, noting the many shattered artifacts and the damage the building itself took in the struggle. The carnage was disturbing to see, but I have grown as an individual since that royal ball in January and managed to keep my composure. What on Earth caused this? I muttered to myself. There were no reports of a bomb going off, did Dante have a power suit? Wilson! Did you get anything off the body cams? I called out to one of my subordinates. No, your highness. There was some kind of interference that made them useless.

I cursed internally at the news. The first terror attack by Pandemonium on my homeland and I have no means of retaliating. I should have expected an attack, given that my task force has been managing to undermine Pandemoniums efforts in northern Europe. A personal appearance by Dante here was obviously to send a message that Pandemonium is still going strong despite our best efforts. Deborah, have you finished taking inventory? Yes, your highness. Everything is accounted for except for one item. Which is? The Was-sceptre of King Khufu is missing.

But before I could wipe the floor, wall and ceilings with the automaton (this club needs the cleaning, there was glitter everywhere), I felt teleportation magic being used behind me. I turned to see the icy glare of my future waifu as she saw me and the maroon haired girl way too close together. Darling, I can explain. Youll always be the number one in my heart, its just that I get a little lonely sometimes The rest of my explanation was interrupted as the automaton and my darling both attacked.

The automaton was blasted out of her chair by Sparky (who had been dwelling in the lighting system) before she could shoot me, while I backflipped away from my darlings enhanced punch. Jumbo quickly killed all the patrons and staff in the club with a death hex before joining in the scuffle. I promptly punted him away. WHYYYY?!?! He cried out as he broke through two separate stripper poles before stopping. Like hell will I let Jumbo interrupt my one on one time with darling. Irene, take care of the storm demon. Dante is mine. Rins merciless blue eyes were glowing as they locked onto mine. *Shiver* Damn, Im so turned on right now.

I drew out my new toy from subspace, savoring the imminent beat-down Ill be applying to my waifu. Khufus Was-sceptre of Set, newly named as Dantes Pole (DP for short), started humming as my mana coursed through it. Rins hands hovered over a pair of holstered hand cannons as she waited for the first move. Wind started to pick up within in the building as Rin and I had a stare-down. Or as much a stare-down as one can have when theres a violently swearing automaton unleashing light machine gun fire on a prancing storm demon in the background. Poor Jumbo was caught up in that exchange, desperately trying to avoid the rampaging automaton.

I broke the standoff with a forward charge, whirling DP in front to ward off bullets as Rin opened fire. I sent a little more mana into DP, causing a concussive blast of wind to rush towards Rin. A pillar of ice flash froze into existence just in time to intercept, causing shards of ice to fly like shrapnel. A simple swing of DP annihilated the ice, along with a good portion of the bar. Rin leaned back to avoid the magical attack, kicking upwards as she transitioned into a backflip. I leaned sideways to dodge before stabbing my staff forwards. Rin parried with her guns, and chose to close the distance. A frantic back and forth ensued as I avoided her gun-fu and retaliated with my staffwork.

I was having the time of my life as we exchanged blows, but I feel like Im forgetting something. The sound of sirens reached my ears, reminding me of the trap that I had been preparing. Oops, tee hee pero. I should have told Jumbo to run interference. Entry points were blasted into the roof and walls, as other units charged in through the doors and windows. It was a veritable mosh pit of violence as the tactical teams were shooting at both sides. It was a chaotic mess and my previous plan was up in smoke, but I dont care. I swung DP, clearing a bloody swath of people as the staff caused them to dissolve into puddles of blood. I sprinted forward to reengage Rin. This is what I want the entire world to be like. This is the goal. An inferno of violence, mayhem, and fun!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
