D-Durandal!? The Great Holy Sword that comes from Lucifer's Feathers before he became a fallen angel... it is said to be the exact same counterpart of the Great Excalibur That is currently the Cave of Labrynthus More over does it mean the skeleton of this is Holy Knight Roland Himself!?!? wait... no no it's not Moreover this skeleton is much Shorter than Roland no even Shorter Than ME!... Does it this is mean his descendant?
"D-durandal? How is it here?"(Ulyssis)
"that Sword is Yours now, Because the Sword's owner is right in front of you, he was a tough one to fight..."
E-eh? M-mine?also shouldn't roland be tall? and more over this looks like Bones that haven't shown any signs of decaying... Shouldn't It atleast have Yellowish brown color in it? If it's durandal then i can understand It's A HOLY SWORD for God's Sake!
"ah i forgot, She will be your Personal Guardian from now on"(Mathilda)
"She? wasn't Holy Knight Roland Supposed to be Tall? Moreover this is a small one here..."(Ulyssis)
"Explaining things can be bothering when it comes to you Ulyssis *Face Palm*
I'll let her do the Talking"(Mathilda)
"enough Questions Ulyssis I'm tired of that noisy mouth... Now put Slice your finger and Let it drip on the skeleton, Also Remember where you Let the blood rip OK?"(Mathilda)
As of lately Mom is Slowly Slowly Getting out of character TvT
And It's hard understanding her lately... Was she Holding All of these Emotions and personalities back? i wonder...
Buuuuut she is my mother soooo let's get to it...
I Used My Handy Knife from my belt and Sliced a small cut on my finger Enough to let Blood to come out I let it fall on the Skeleton's Rib Cage... It's hard to aim because it almost Fell Through, Oh well atleast it landed
"Now use this and Read what it says Remember to SAY it CLEARLY"(mathilda)
geeez you're telling me off on a lot lately TvT
"Ok ok... eh? isn't this a Slave scroll? Aren't these Illegal? More over a High Class one at that"(Ulyssis)
Odd... How did Ma get one? Also the words here Are In Runes(Demon Language)
"These Slave Scroll is not From Ours? Where'd you Get this?"(Ulyssis)
"Oi, Oiiii too much Questions Ulyssis Get to it Already!"(Mathilda)
Fine...
"
following through Life And death, I Ulyssis D. Pendragon Hereby Bind you Eternally as My slave Rolanna De Chansonne"(Ulyssis)
Eh? Rolanna? So that means this is not the Holy Knight Roland? w-well i was Hopeful but this is the girl Mom is talking about? So she is a descendant of Roland then? she has his Last name and all...
as i finnished the reading the scroll It instantly Crumbled and turned to dust...
Wasn't it supposed to Glow? So it didn't work then?
Showoooon~!
Light Instantly Spreads out of the coffin for 10 whole seconds and then i see the Skeleton stand... EH? So i made a pact with an undead? undead are Human's Enemy Ma, You are making it harder for us to Go out... if this is found out we will get executed TvT
"Eh? Where am i?"(Rolanna)
"wait! i thought i was killed by a big Wave of mana and-... Vampire Queeeeeeeen!"(Rolanna)
S-she Moves so fast! I gotta cover for mother! How is she even Wielding Durandal!? Isn't It a Holy weapon!?
Shit she might hit her I gotta take the hit!
...
"W-why isn't it hitting?"(Rolanna)
ah yes i forgot... Slaves can't hit their master... On top of that This is A High Class Scroll one at that That means She wouldn't even dare to hit her master
"How does it Feel Holy Knight? To wake up only to be an undead serving My Son? Fufufu~"(Mathilda)
Mom actually has a Sadistic side to her? W-wait Holy knight!?!
"By Holy knight ma do you mean?"(Ulyssis)
God Praise my stupidity and Lack of Understanding TvT
"yes, She is The original wielder of Durandal, The only Holy knight who managed to fight off 1 Million Demons by herself, Roland De Chansonne or should I say... Kukuku~ Rolanna De Chansonne"(mathilda)
"Why can't i Hit You?- Kuha! AAAAAAAAAAH!"(Rolanna)
She Screams in pain and Instantly Drops On the Ground...
She fainted...
Omigod She actually is the Holy Knight Roland And to think i'm too stupid to even notice Only Hero Blood can wield Holy swords TvT
"Carry her later Ulyssis, And If you have any questions You don't have to ask her... Ask it directly at me When We Camp after we Get our Baggage"
"Yes ma"(Ulyssis)
Next time i should actually think things over rather than Asking stupid questions...
"ah Also After you open the other Gifts i hope You Like them aside from the first one I can think you actually Like it, Fufufu~!"(Mathilda)
Aaaand she went off towards our Baggage... Honestly Today has a lot of surprises that It feels like a dream, Mom getting out of Character, Learning i Have Royal Demon Blood While Having Royal Hero Blood within me... then Recently Knowing that The Most Famous Holy Knight Was Actually A Girl... I wonder How much of a Surprise these other Two would be?
Nope Todays Curiousities and Surprises are too much already... i Might die from Mental Overload if i take on too much!
Thankfully I bought Two space bags That are worth 100 Silver In one!
i was Regretting to Use Our hard earned money For the whole 2 Years just to use all of it for this *Leave Hometown And Try Adventure*
that should do it... all set!
I'll open it tomorrow with her It is Mom's Present after all!
I went on and Carefully caught on to Our meeting place slowly But surely
"My, My You are taking care of your Slave? It's Tough you know? It shouldn't break that easily"(Mathilda)
"Ma, im not quite used to this Sassy and Sadistic talk of yours Can you just Please go back to the Sweet Talk? Because i'm not Comfortable with it"(Ulyssis)
"Eh~?! T-then Eherm... Mother will pamper you At times but... When it's serious i tend to Have a Second Personality, Is that all you want to ask?"(Mathilda)
"i don't really have a lot, About 2 of them atleast"(ulyssis)
"i'll try to answer them within my Knowledge"(Mathilda)
"Ma... Do you Hate Humans?"(Ulyssis)
"I Did... but that was before you were Born, I was Doing a Spy Mission Given by my father... Yes the Demon King Himself... and what was said was To Spy and Try to live amongst them"(Mathilda)
eh?
"After that... When it was the 2nd week Your father Was Just A Peasant that time... He Raped me as you known... i could've killed him if i wanted to But i wouldn't Dare Disobey My father... His wrath is not something I can Stop... i can kill him if i want but that would also Kill me because in terms of strength i can Equally Fight him But i wouldn't think of such Fight because i truly believed That Demons were Right and we'd only lose a Strong Member in our Ranks..."(Mathilda)
"when i came back to report to him that i was raped, He was enraged and even Go so far to Exile me from the demon Kingdom... i couldn't go anywhere else And only thought of Killing that man Arthur Pendragon... the problem is i was about to give birth and he is Now a king, If i came in And found out i was a Demon We would surely Perish so i Forgot about all the incident and Went to a Small village Like Skywind and Raised you there... All of my anger, despair and sadness, all of them disappeared the moment you were born, It was at that moment i had the Mother's instinct the village wives taught me... It was the first time i can Relate and Sympathize the joy they feel when loving a family... so that's why even if I had The worst past I'd Still Smile and give you a better future on where we'd be Happy..."(Mathilda)
eh? shouldn't a Father Support and Help her daughter? to actually even think He would exile her...
damn... to think she actually gone through so much... all just for me...
"no ma, this time it's my turn Taking care of you, I will get stronger and surely Protect you no matter what! Even if the demon king OR That Bastard Human Scum of a King Fights us i won't back down!"(Ulyssis)
"No you won't fight them alone Ulyssis, I am your mother... And i promise i will always be with you"(Mathilda)
Her Dark Blood red Eyes Softly shined and Somewhat Almost A tear was about to fall until she Rubs it with her Handkerchief
"now, Your last question? what is it?"(Mathilda)
"no need Ma you already answered it... so we're enemies of Both Kingdoms?"(Ulyssis)
"Yes, thats why i'm training you slowly from now on"(mathilda)
"every week i'm gonna check your status And We will see results by then"(Mathilda)
"yes mother"(Ulyssis)
after that long talk i've dug up Our baggage, Oh don't worry about the Food As i said it's a Space bag... Although it has Space it is also affected by time so if you Put A freshly Cooked Eggs in it After waiting 1 or 2 months yes as you would see it will be rotten or even completely Decomposed into nothing... It is said Items that are put there Are Sent to a New Realm corresponding tot he space bag and th only opening is As i've said The space bag... So if we were to count how many realms we're bringing is 2 realms... Sounds Unbelievable right?! sadly only Items can be put in it... Living Beings such as small rat's Can't be put although it fits they can Get outside as if though It was a normal Bag... But if it's a plant or An ingredient like A worm or a flower can actually Fit in... Weird... Rules of the world are so hard to understand -_-
"now that we're clearly ready to go i must remind you, I'm a Sassy mother When we're outside But when at a camp or Home I'm the Loving mother you always Knew, Understand?"(Mathilda)
"yes ma"(Ulyssis)
So we're finally gonna Leave huh? I look forward to what We'll find across!
♥♠♥♠♥♠♥♠♥♠♥
The next day...
(Rolanna's Pov)
"uwaaaaa~"(Rolanna)
"Oh, Rolanna you're awake! Goodmorning!"(Ulyssis)
"Goodmorning, Rolanna Had a nice Sleep?"(Mathilda)
"Ah, yes Goodmorning everybody Haoooom~(Yawning)"(Rolanna)
Eh?!?
"Vampire Queen!"(Rolanna)
why is a Human Following a Demon General? wait he has demonic aura Around him!? Didn't he Protect her when i was about to Stab her!? Is he a Traitor?!!
"Oi, you there if you help me kill her I'll reward you with an Honorary Knight's title!"(Rolanna)
"Oi, Ulyssis your slave is getting noisy can't you atleast have a strict Rule for you slave?"(Mathilda)
"Ah, im sorry about that but The one you're trying to Kill is my Mother"(Ulyssis)
"Eeeeeeeeeh!? So you are demon spies then!??! Let Me Kill youuu! KRrrk!!!"(Rolanna)
There it is again! The pain whenever i try to hit That Boy! Why does this keep happening!?
"Don't move any further! you are enslaved by Slave magic and as it's rules are The Slave CAnnot hurt it's master!"(Ulyssis)
What's this man Talking about? Me? a Slave? Impossible!
"Let her Suffer on her own Ulyssis As i said She can't hurt us"(Mathilda)
"Atleast explain it properly Ma -,-"(Ulyssis)
"Explain what!? and Why should i even Believe two demons!? More over HAving Slave Pact with me!?"(Rolanna)
i'll try to refrain my self from hitting the man... it appears that he is my contractor...
i don't know if i should feel joy to feel alive again or to feel anger only to see My most Hated Enemy in front of me
♥♠♥♠♥♠♥♠♥♠♥
(Ulyssis's PoV)
After Explaining her everything for about a whole day of what actually happened and who we are and What We are (Author: sure make up *How* *When* *Why* we are jokes you intelligent Freaks -,-) she actually cried and was touched On what We told her...
i didn't hold back on saying anything she's now a Slave after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"to think that Mathilda-sama and Master went through this huh?"(Rolanna)
yes... she even started Calling us in High Honorifics and respect just About an hour ago... it seems she accepted that she's a slave at this point My God Aren't you supposed to Have UnBending faith and Resolve to Kill Demons!? TvT
to think a holy knight... actually Became a slave more over to demons! and even calling them master and Sympathyzing! i don't even know how to react at this point -,- even my presents weren't open just to Tell a Whole lifestory to this Girl
"So i'm actually a slave now huh? More over an enemy of both a Human and Demon Race? wouldn't that be Tough Master?"(Rolanna)
"ah, yes I Hope we Get together well and Help each other from here on out"(Ulyssis)
I was about to bow to show respect but rolanna stopped me and even said *no good! no good!*
"Yes Thank you for having me as well! I will work hard as a slave starting today until the end of my Last breath!"(Rolanna)
She can even say those with a straight face? ( technically she has no face she's still a skeleton with black smoke around her Body )
"now that you've finally introduced yourselves tomorrow we will Start our Journey to find A suitable land, It is where we will Make our Own village"(Mathilda)
"ah, tomorrow was supposed to be training for my Magic right?"(Ulyssis)
"that was today Ulyssis, But you've wasted our time to tell it to your slave... Honestly you could've forced her and she would have no way of opposing you"(Mathilda)
"Sorry mathilda-sama, Master... This slave must've Been Disobedient I will accept any punishment!"(Rolanna)
She actually prostated her self! and isn't that supposed to be painful? bones might break in that position right!? Y-yeah right i'm actually hearing bones getting broken!
"oi! oi Stand up No Punishment! it was to clear a misunderstanding!"(Ulyssis)
"No I was disobedient master, You must give a suitable punishment for me!"(Rolanna)
Is she an M?
"Ok! OK! The punishment is Protect my mother at all costs!"(Ulyssis)
"Yes, i will protect her even if it costs my life!"(Rolanna)
"Seriously Ulyssis... I don't even need protection *Facepalm* I'm the Daughter of the Demon king! Seriously Use your Brain to think!"(Mathilda)
O-ouch! ma i was Just Panicking so I said random things at the moment! more over shouldn't you be proud!?
"Also That Kindness will be your death Ulyssis, Being Kind is a Good thing and all but sometimes People abuse it and take everything you have... and What are you gonna do if you have nothing left? They wouldn't help you back after all"(Mathilda)
"R-right... i will only be kind to Those Who have suffered, And Only help those who Need our help..."(Ulyssis)
"Yes, As i have taught you, Kind people are People with masks You wouldn't know what they truly hide in their Kind and Soft Skin, as i've seen many who are Lying as if it was a simple feat as breathing"(Mathilda)
"Traders, Slave Traders, Merchants, Nobles..."(Rolanna)
"yes, there are Demons amongst pure humans, who are more sinister and cruel than Us demons... We demons only Kill on a whim rather than Humans Who actually kill each other for no reason, only demon spawns do that"(Mathilda)
(demon spawns - as it's name suggests Spawned Demons that are The Lowest in the demon's rank can be referred to as Vengeful souls or Carnal Desires That Manifest into Pure demonic Energy)
"You Seem Affected by This topic Rolanna?"(Mathilda)
"My mother was a slave sold to a king in the north... she told me to run for my life and live on for my self... I grew up in the forest for 3 years and was taken in by a royal guard, then there is what the famous Roland Story came in, at firts i wanted to tell them it wasn't true... But Royalty didn't want an outsider Moreover A young girl to be a symbol of hope So i was forced to be engaged To Nobility It was the day before our marriage That when i Fought Mathilda-sama, Then all That went after is what happened now"(Rolanna)
"w-wait isn't that just like a recent happening!? when were you Born?"(Ulyssis)
"From when i killed her it was just a year ago"(Mathilda)
"Hmmm... Then that would make me 14 years old"(Rolanna)
E-EEEEEEEHHHH!? SHE'S YOUNGER THAN ME!?
"Y-your younger than me!?"(Ulyssis)
"Hoooh~? are you Intrigued Ulyssis? She's actually quite young?"(Mathilda)
"Ehem! now now a change of topic... Let me open the 2nd gift then, i'll open the last for my birthday tomorrow"(Ulyssis)
The First one is Rolanna with Durandal... although she can Hold it it's as they say it cannot inflict harm if wielded By an Undead or demon, so Currently It's inside the space bag, The second Would be An Old wooden Box that's half the Size of the coffin it looks like chest but Only Handmade... you can see no nails it's like the cover can be opened by anybody if it was left there...
"eh? i thought you already opened them Ulyssis?"(mathilda)
"i'll open them One at a Time ma, The first already Had me surprised So atleast i'll Maintain a small level of surprise than Seeing everything at the same time"(Ulyssis)
seriously! i would've already fainted to know that rolanna was the Holy knight roland More over Because she's an undead only I can Wield it!... well Somehow...
after Opening, the box What's inside was 10 Crystals with different colors the size of a Hand, A wooden Wand, 2 Slightly Curved Daggers that the same length as my Whole arm, 10 rings, 1 bracelet and lastly 20 Red Glowing Potions that are Smaller than a thumb
"Wow... i never thought Somebody was Actually able to open Pandora's Stash"(Mathilda)
"Pandora's Stash?"(Ulyssis)
"Only Demigods, and Gods Can open Pandora's Creations"(Mathilda)
"Then does that mean Master is a Demigod?"(Rolanna)
"No, He isn't and that's what i'm curious about, His father is a Royal Hero and even He cannot Open Pandora's Boxes, Even more impossible if it was me, A demon... Demonic Beings with divine powers are very rare Only 4 of them roam the world and the First one Would be Lucifer, second with his Son Satan, then The other two i do not know of"(Mathilda)
"that mean's You are a special case Ulyssis"(Mathilda)
i came back slowly bringing the stash and showing them What i've found
Rolanna had the *:O* look on her face and she could only identify the bracelet and the Small red potions, she said That when the bracelet is worn it cannot be taken off and Becomes one with the body of the owner... it can Give many Advantages like a near Bottomless Space storage and other benefits that she doesn't know
the potions However are Phoenix Blood Potions, These are Wayyy better than the Elixirs, and even the Elixir of life itself, it is said it can Make The One who drank it Be reborn anew and Become 20 times stronger than Before, also it is rumoured that With one drop it can already revive 5 dead persons... Too OP!!!!
after sharing her Knowledge about the rest Mom was also shocked by what the other Items i got she also has the *:O* face but bigger! She said the Crystals are called Elemental crystals... each Color has it's own Element and when Absorbed or Made into a refined potion Each can Grant Near Infinite Mana, and Insanely Boost The Element proficiency! even those who can't use magic will become the Number 1 Mage instantly in the world! well... if he can successfully absorb the Tremendous amount of mana and Live without exploding Because of Overflowing Power that is...
the Ten rings however are the same as the crystals each ring can make you Stronger with the corresponding but the same type as the bracelet It Instantly locks in the Owners body and get stuck
the Wooden Wand Is not a normal wand, It's made from the branch of the Yggdrasil Tree and said that It cannot be burned or be affected by any Magical Spell, it can be Cut though But it Infinitely regenerates so even if a single molecule was Left behind it can regenerate and Become The Yggdrasil tree! if it was possible though... This wand Has Insane Compatability with nature, Also This wand Is already inside my body... WHY ARE THESE ITEMS LIKE SYMBIOTIC BEINGS THEY GET STUCK IN ME! By the way i haven't put the rings or absorbed the crystal yet, mom warned me not to, I will explode from the tremendous amount of mana i can't Handle, It's Better to use One first which i'm able to Handle atleast is what she said
Lastly the 2 Daggers that Are Arms length, These are called Long daggers but these daggers are Longer than the Long dagger, Long daggers only reach elbow length or 21-24 Inches long but these 2 are 31 or 33 inches long quite long in fact i thought they were One Sided Blades
these Long daggers (i'll call them Blades now) are the only One that Mom and Rolanna doesn't know of these are quite sharp thankfully it has 2 scabbards Each, actually only these blades have the Best Look aside from the Yggdrasil wand you might mistake it for a Twig, the Scabbard has a Pitch black color around it and Has 8 Golden Symbols That i don't know what they mean... God language maybe? The Blade itself Looks like A normal white and clear Steel(usually steel is Bluish white, they sometimes get mistaken for mithril) although i don't know a lot about Minerals i can Clearly see that the Ore that was used Was not a Normal One...
The Hilt is Like the Scabbard, Pitch Black with Golden Lines, This time Normal Human Letters That Reads "Abyssal Blades"
"n-now, now You can test your Gifts it's yours after all..."(Mathilda)
I-i mean these Items are Actually Impossible to find Right? Mom said Pandora's stashes are only 10 around the world, Pandora's Chest However are only 3, And The only One is Pandora's Temple which isn't Discovered yet, The good side is Pandora's pouch Is Scattered across the world Mom said they have Fewer items in it but The number of pouches exceeds 1,000 and only 3 are found which is in Sun Country, Demon country And Lastly an Elf village That Hides from The outsiders
"a-alright, I'll test the Blades out first, If this is strong I want to atleast try to hit something with it's scabbard First"(Ulyssis)
"i can be a test subject if you want master"(Rolanna)
"don't be stupid Rolanna, i'll test it on trees at the moment or Passing Monsters, Just keep guard of our Baggage and Keep my mother company"(Ulyssis)
after walking near a Tree try to Swipe it using only the cover of the blade...
"E-eh? Just the Scabbard alone is enough to Cut a tree!?!"(Ulyssis)
"Then you're a lucky Man Ulyssis, You've found quite unique items for a stash"(Mathilda)
this isn't Just unique! The Scabbard alone is on the level Of a Holy Sword like Durandal!!! how Dangerous would it be If i Actually used the Blades itself!?!
"T-then Next is T-the W-wand..."(Ulyssis)
Such terrifying Sharpness I Even thought That The slice was already so clean you might even think that the tree was nothing but air and didn't stop the Scabbard!
But next is the Wand... When I held it at first it immediately sunk into the Skin of my palm... The problem is how to get it out?
Shuruk~
o-oh... Quite a Convenient Wand... It actually Is Listening to my mind... Just like The bracelet... Not only do i feel Immensely Stronger i Can Actually Feel like i Can stand Toe to Toe with a High Rank demon, or even A royal demon at that!
"
Showoooom~!
as i used an Intermediate battle spell Called
"
Thanks Ma! I actually Owe You one! Phew~!
"i didn't even try to Make a big one That was the Smallest Mana I've Put!"(Ulyssis)
Seriously I didn't Put any Mana! Almost Nothing!
The reason why a 5 meter ball of F*cking Hell More over
It's because The
If a 5 Inch
But for a
"That's it I'm only gonna use these weapons when A battle comes in"(Ulyssis)
Heck I'm even sorry for those who would actually try to fight us, To think a Clean Slicing Cover of a blade And A wand That can Make a 5 meter ball of hell without mana Like it's nothing, I'd even pray to the point that nobody would actually Dare to Encounter these Weapons of Destruction
"I feel sorry for anybody that would meet you Ulyssis"(Mathilda)
Of course! These are Forbidden Weapons God damnit!
"Now, That the Demonstration is finnished we should Sleep now, we still Have A Lot of places to go starting tomorrow"(Mathilda)
I Agree We still have to find a place that That Dirty Bastard Wouldn't even Try to Go to
and at that, Our Journey Has finally started...
A Surprising wild Start at that.
