Chereads / Tales of a Dark Lord / Chapter 14 - First World: Titanis

Chapter 14 - First World: Titanis

After the death of both Lady Kazumi and Lord Uroshi, the heroes have risen. They knew of the Dark Lords arrival because of Yuto. They set up outposts and bases around the world. Their commander, Reid, awaited at the final base.

Misa walked appeared in Titanis via portal and was followed by the others. She looked around and saw how ruined the world was.

"M-Misa..?" A man walked to her. "You've returned unharmed.."

"Great Sage.." Misa held his arms. "You have to gather your people and family and retreat this world to that portal if you want to live.."

"But..You're with the Dark Lords..?" He asked.

"That's a different matter..Please..get everyone out of here.." Misa smiled.

The Great Sage nodded and gathered his people. Akichi followed with Tsuki and smiled at Misa. Tsuki looked at Misa and gave a thumbs up.

"I'll be coming back soon.." Misa smiled.

"You better.." Akichi chuckled and walked into the portal. Once everyone had left, the portal closed.

"Master..it's time.." Liliana said.

"I know...Now it's time..This Realm has met it's doom.." Misa said.

"Alright, there are many battles to be fought..let's get a move on!" Elizabeth smiled and her wings appeared.

They all ran to the first outposts and yelled. The heroes looked at the Dark Lords and blared the horns.

"Everyone get ready! They are here! Charge!!" The swordsman said.

Misa flipped on one hand and sprang into the air and her right eye turned green. Emma jumped in the air and took her hand and spun in a circle and threw Misa down.

"Dual Strike: Turbo Crash!" They both said and Misa struck the ground and her aura blew the heroes away.

"Don't take all the fun away from me!" Elizabeth giggled and bit a hero and her aura boosted by a lot. "Vampire Impulse!" She released all her aura in one blow, killing majority of the heroes.

"Black Ballista!" Lilith bellowed and sent a white ball of energy at the heroes and the ball exploded upon impact.

Rebecca walked up with her scythe and her maiden outfit flowed in the wind. Her aura was pitch black. She stopped as the heroes surrounded her.

"Rush her!" The hero said and charged at her.

The other heroes wouldn't move. They were filled with fear. Their bodies shook and they stared at Rebecca.

"I am a maiden cloaked in the aura of death..I am Death itself as I have died a millennia ago..I can not be killed! But your time has come! Death Command!" Rebecca said and her black aura rushed at the heroes, killing them all instantly. The souls entered her body and she gripped her scythe more and gasped.

"Outpost captured!" Misa said. "Let's move!" She dashed off and the others followed.

Reid sat in the office and watched the Dark Lords from a screen. He sighed and slammed his hand on the desk.

"If we had Lady Kazumi, she would've given us her blessings and we would kill those pathetic Dark Lords!" Reid said.

"Not true.." A man with black hair said. "Lady Kazumi sided with the Dark Lords..she suffered a major punishment..Death. Now we can revive her if we find her body first..but you have to stay here and guard the base."

"Right. Find her body then bring her here.." Reid said.

The man stood up and left the room. Reid looked at the screen again and sighed.

Misa blocked the attacks from a swordsman and kicked him away then vanished as Emma appeared in her place and slashed, blowing the hero away.

"Emma and Misa work yell together huh." Elizabeth said.

"Not better than us." Lilith smiled. "Hey girls, step aside. Let us show you real teamwork!"

Misa and Emma looked back and stepped aside and watched Lilith and Elizabeth. Misa was excited to see this moment unfold before her very eyes.

"Let's use that combo.." Lilith said.

"Right." Elizabeth nodded and dashed off and punched a knight then kicked her to Lilith.

Lilith kicked the knight in the air then Elizabeth appeared above the knight, spinning in the air and kicked the knight down. As the knight crashed both Lilith and Elizabeth fused their monsters to summon Shiva.

"Overhauling Blizzard!" They both said and Shiva caused a huge blizzard and froze the entire outpost.

Misa looked at the ice and was reminded of Lady Kazumi. She ran off to find her body and the others followed confused. Misa summoned Yllesa.

"Yllesa trace any faint aura of Lady Kazumi!" Misa said.

"Alright." Yllesa closed her eyes and found a faint trace of spirit energy. "Misa..Lady Kazumi is moving.."

"Moving? She died..how is she moving..?" Misa said.

The man was carrying Lady Kazumi's body and contacted Reid.

"I have the body. Our necromancer can bring her back to life.." The man said. "Right..I will be there soon.. Don't worry.. I'm sure I can handle 5 Dark Lords at once.." The man chuckled and hung up.

Misa saw the man with her Godmother's body. She ran to him and placed a trap in front of him with magic. The man dodged and looked back.

"Ahh..You appear..Misa. I assume you've come to retrieve your precious Godmother? Sorry we heroes have a different plan. Once we revive her, she will give us her blessings!" The man laughed.

"Can you corrupt a Goddess..?" Misa asked.

"Yes..it is extremely difficult to do so..but it is possible..what are you planning..?" Lilith asked.

"Rebecca..you're the best necromancer we have..When I get her body, revive her.." Misa dashed to the man and summoned her sword.

Elizabeth stopped Emma. She closed her eyes.

"This is one fight Misa has to fight alone.." Elizabeth said.

The man dodged her attacks and spikes of darkness appeared around Misa and shot at her at once. Misa summoned a barrier and blocked all the spikes, but the man kept putting more force behind the spikes and Misa growled trying to keep pushing back. Her aura flashed purple. She closed her eyes then her horns flashed purple.

A dagger hit the man on his shoulder, making him drop the spikes.

"Who did that..?" The man looked around.

Yllesa walked up and summoned more daggers. She looked at the man with cold eyes.

"My sister isn't yours to take.." she dashed to the man and slashed with the daggers.

The man dodged her strikes and shot spikes at Yllesa, but she swiftly dodged then went on the offensive again. Misa joined the battle and the man blocked their attacks at the same time and sent spikes at them then pushed them back. He summoned a black ball of aura and tiny portals surrounded the two. Spikes appeared from those portals then shot at them one by one, quickly.

Misa and Yllesa began to block and deflect the spikes the best they could. They blocked from all directions with their backs touching to keep a 360 motion going. The spikes soon disappeared and the man kicked Yllesa back and held a sword to Misa's neck and went for the slash then Yllesa blocked the strike and pushed him back. The man kicked her away and slashed at Misa. Misa blocked the slash with her sword and Yllesa dashed and slashed, but her attack was deflected. Misa summoned her lance.

"A Dual Wielder.." the man said.

Misa dashed to the man and slashed then slashed with her lance. The man parried and stepped into a trap placed by Misa then the trap summoned a large lightning bolt that struck the man. He yelled and fell on one knee.

"When did you...set that trap..?" He asked.

"While I was blocking those spikes..I calculated your every move you would take and settled on that one spot..I had to push you there...There's no outsmarting a Dark Lord.." Misa said and walked to the man. Yllesa took Kazumi from him and ran to Rebecca.

"What are you going to do..? Kill me...?" He asked.

"That's boring..I'd rather torture you...corrupt you...then sell your soul to the Black Market just to get an equippable orb that will boost my power..but we are on a time limit..so.." Misa stabbed through the man's heart with her lance, killing the man instantly.

Rebecca looked at Lady Kazumi and hesitated to revive her. She remembered what happened all those years ago. She didn't want to revive Lady Kazumi.

"Rebecca..it's for Misa.." Emma said. "We have to forget the past...Lady Kazumi sided with us for a reason..I wanna hear that reason.."

"Alright." Rebecca nodded. She then revived Lady Kazumi by giving her souls.

Lady Kazumi slowly opened her eyes and saw the Dark Lords look at her. She sat up quickly and scooted back.

"W-what's going on?!" Lady Kazumi asked.

Misa ran to Kazumi and hugged her tightly. She held her close and closed her eyes. Kazumi was surprised and looked at Misa.

"Misa..I get it now...You all are going to destroy this Realm.." Kazumi said.

"Mhm..and we needed your help..We need your blessings if we want to take on the Phantom God.." Misa said.

"I see..well I'll help you..I will help you all destroy this Realm." She looked at the other Dark Lords.

"Why do you want to help us?" Elizabeth asked.

"It's my Retribution...I paid it when I died..i even lost my arm..But since I'm back to life..it means I still haven't atoned for my sins.." Sbe said.

"I see.." Emma said. "We will allow it."

"Alright..our last stop is the main base keeping this world together.." Misa helped Kazumi stand.

They all ran to the main base. Reid watched from the screen and was pissed off. Not only did the man get killed by a singular Dark Lord and a Corrupted Hero, the Dark Lords got Kazumi on their side. Reid told all the heroes to prepare.

Misa and the others reached the main base and nodded. She walked in and the others followed. Kazumi summoned her katana.

"Charge!!" The heroes bellowed and ran to the Dark Lords.

Kazumi stomped on the ground and exhaled then dashed to the heroes and spun in a circle and slashed blowing the heroes away. Elizabeth smiled and chuckled.

"She's still the same Kazumi.." She said.

Misa kept walking ahead as Kazumi handled the heroes in front of her.

"Surround them!" A hero said.

Elizabeth dashed into the fight and followed by Lilith. Emma was taking care of the heroes behind them accompanied by Rebecca.

Reid walked to the roof and Misa followed. Liliana turned into a little bat and flew into the sky. Reid stopped on the roof and turned around.

"Reid.." Misa said. "You were a student of Lord Uroshi.."

"Yes.." Reid said. "I'm surprised you even remembered..but all of that doesn't matter anymore." He summoned his sword.

He looked at Misa and dashed to her. Misa blocked the slash and clashed blades with him for a few seconds. They were evenly matched. Reid jumped back and blocked Misa's attacks and flashed backed to when Misa and him would spar. He parried the attack and punched her away. Misa slid back and her cape flowed in the wind.

"Your style of the blade hasn't changed one bit.." Reid said.

"Then I'll switch it up.." She held her blade like Kazumi and got in a stance.

She dashed to Reid and clashed with him. She was much faster then clashed with him more and flipped over his head then spun and kicked his face. Reid landed on his feet and dodged then lance then Misa grabbed the lance and went for multiple strikes. Reid dodged and kicked the lance from her hand. Reid slashed and Misa blocked the strikes. He grabbed her arm. Misa was shocked then was pulled across to the other side of the roof, near the edge and Reid ran to her and kicked her off the roof. Misa fell off the roof. She used her aura and grapple along the building.

"Heavy Gunners! Shoot!" Reid said.

The Heavy Gunners on the ground began to shoot at Misa, but Lilith blew them away with a Black Ballista. Misa climbed back on the roof and looked at Reid. She was mad. She yelled and her aura surged then she dashed to Reid and punched his stomach.

"Misa.." Elizabeth felt her aura.

Misa blocked Reid's strikes and kicked him away and missed the next strike when he dodged. Reid slashed down, but Misa's aura deflected the sword out of his hand and down the building. Misa stood up and her hair slowly turned white and her horns turned purple. She looked at Reid and dashed to him. Reid blocked her attacks and pushed her away then went for a strike and it connected. Misa rolled on her side and her aura sent spikes at Reid. Reid dodged then was shocked. Misa sent a wave of aura at Reid.

"Revenge Wave!" Misa yelled and the wave of aura hit Reid and blew him off the roof.

Misa ran after him and jumped. Everyone looked up and gasped. Misa bellowed and the aura surged to her arm. Her eyes went white and she yelled.

"Catastrophic Crash!" She punched Reid and they crashed to the ground in high speeds. Misa rolled forwards then looked back. She turned normal and stood up. Reid was dead. "Mission complete."

"So how do we destroy this world?" Kazumi asked.

The world began to rumble, responding to Reid's death and began to break apart.

"Oh.." Kazumi said.

Misa opened a portal and they all ran into it to travel to the second world: Ori.
