Third person's POV
Diablo, Rem, Louise, and Guiche were standing outside the school a little after sunrise waiting to meet the knight from the sky legion, that Princess Henrietta appointed
Diablo had been training all the girls for some time now, including Tiffa
Diablo decided to have Shera stay behind to focus on training, Siesta couldn't come because of work, and Tiffa was still staying in secret so she wouldn't presenting her self until she was ready anyways
"How long are we going to have to wait ?" Louise said impatiently
Just then, twenty feet in front of the group cracks appeared in the ground and then a hole formed, and out of that hole came a mole
"What the heck is that !!??" Louise
"Oh Verdunde, my cute Verdunde !" Guiche cheerfully skipped over to his summoned familiar and started hugging it
" My precious Verdunde, you probably thought I was abandoning you, my adorable Verdunde♥️♥️♥️" Guiche
While watching this display of affection Diablo started thinking
(Where did that arrogant guy go, I still remember how he acted when I first met him.
I also remember him being this way when we went to see the water spirit.
I guess maybe I had the wrong impression of him the whole time, or maybe it's possible my slap during that duel gave him brain damage that changed his personality.) Diablo thought to himself
" There's no way we could bring that with us, we'd be all day." Rem
"Hey Guiche, you're going to have to leave that mole here !" Louise yelled to Guiche
Then the mole turned in the direction of the voice and seen Louise, the mole called "Verdunde" started crawling towards Louise and crawled on top of her
"Hey...get off" Louise struggled
" Guiche.... get your familiar off of me !" Louise exclaimed
The mole seemed to be trying to sniff Louise's hand
"Oh I see, he's trying to get the ring on your finger." Guiche said pointing out the expensive looking ring on Louise's finger
"What ? This ring was given to me by her majesty the queen Henrietta, it can't be touched by a mole !" Louise exclaimed
Just then a pile of dirt and sand crashed into the mole sending it hurdling away from louise
It was magic, everyone there knew it because that was the only logical explanation for something that doesn't make any sense
"VERDUNDE !" Guiche cried
Everyone looked in the direction of the origin of the spell, and seen a shadow coming from the sky, and the owner of the shadow was approaching them
Guiche pulled out his rose wand and pointed it at the large shadow and said
"Who are you?"
" A griffin?" Rem said, she saw it first out of all of them because of her enhanced sight from being a pantherian
What could be seen was a man with long hair, a magician hat, and he was riding a griffon
"Wardes ?" Louise said shocked
Taking a closer look at the man he had long silver hair, and a silver goatee, with a thin almost prod like sword
"That's right my dear." The man named Wardes said
" The Wardes, captain of the sky legion!?" Said Guiche forgetting his anger, and having admiration across his face
" Why are you here !?" Said the pink haired, obnoxious tsundere girl with a red face
"I had to, when the princess told the sky legion she needed someone as a guard, I personally volunteered." Wardes while picking Louise up princess carry style
"You volunteered!?" Cried Louise
"Of course, I would volunteer to anything pertaining my fiance." Wardes
"Fiance!?" Guiche and Rem shouted in unison
(FIANCE!? Aren't the authorities doing there jobs!? Someone call the FBI !!!) Diablo thought to himself
Hearing all the commotion outside a certain red-head woke up and looked out of the window
"(yawn)...What is all the commotion this early in the morning ?" Kirche said while stretching, and then looked outside of the window to see a handsome man next to a griffon
"Huh... Who's the handsome man ?" She said with a slight smile and blush
(A/N Like she was just all over Diablo only a few chapters ago, seriously?)
Seeing Louise in the man's arms she got angry that Louise was already ahead of her
"Oooooh... Louise !" Kirche said blushing with a pout, clenching her fists
Scene Change Diablo's POV
We were was about halfway to their destination which was Albion, and we were on horseback
Louise and her fiance Wardes shared a horse, Guiche had his own horse, and me and Rem shared a horse
I purposefully rode behind Rem so I could get revenge on her for last night
I would rub her sides, blow and whisper into her adorable pantherian ears, she's blushing while not trying to make noises to keep the others from noticing, hehehehehe
Currently right now I'm rubbing and stroking her tail, which happens to be her biggest weakness heh heh
"D-Diablo...stop mn..st-stop it...mn..." Rem Said while blushing trying to keep steady
"No, this is revenge for not letting me escape last night hahaha." I evilly laugh
"But...This is too mu-HYA..." Rem cried out as I touched the sensitive part of her tail and her butt at the same time
"What was that ?" Guiche said and everyone looked in our direction
"Yes Rem, what was that ?" I asked pretending not to know anything
" I...um was tickled, yeah that's what it was." Rem with a cramped smile
"Okay" Louise said with a suspicious look
Everyone turned their attention back to the rode and then Rem looked at me with gritted teeth
"Diablo" Rem said
"Are you embarrassed ?" I said to further annoy her
She growled and turned her head, and all of a sudden Guiche started talking
"Diablo, do you know that man is the captain of the sky legione, it is truly a proud and majestic legion." Guiche said with admiration
While Guiche continued talking about Wardes , Wardes came to a stop
"Are you doing alright my love."Wardes said to Louise
" Yes, I'm fine." Louise said
"Let's rest for the night in the next village, is that alright everyone." Wardes announced
"That's fine with me." Guiche said carefreelly
Louise looked at Diablo expecting his answer
"What ? Why are you staring at me ?" Diablo said
"You could at least answer !" Louise shouted
" Do I have to?" I said
" Its okay Louise, I don't really care for noble formalities." Wardes called
Scene Change
We arrived at a city and settled at an inn
Wardes and Louise shared a room,
Diablo and Rem shared a room
and Guiche had got his own room
We were at the dining area eating dinner and Wardes turned his attention to me
"So your name is Diablo right ? I've heard so much about you. Didn't you beat Guiche here in a duel." Wardes
Flustered Guiche waved his hands and cried" Let's not bring up the past....I still remember that painful day." Guiche groaned rubbing his cheek
I didn't respond I just looked at him
" Yes you beat Guiche, beat the famed Fouqet, and her golem. Truly interesting feats." Wardes said with a grin while rubbing his chin
I only sat there and watched him
"How about this....a duel ! How about it. I won't force you if you're not interested." Wardes exclaimed
"What! No" Louise shouted
" I don't see the point. And I'm not interested." I said nonchalantly
" I would like to know who is stronger !" Wardes
" Okay I'll tell you....me." I answered
" I like your confidence but I'm not sure ." Wardes said
" No dueling,lets just complete the mission." Louise said trying to steer the conversation away from a duel
"I accept, but don't say I didn't warn you." Diablo
" Tomorrow then." Wardes
"Whatever." Diablo
A lady wearing a cloak with long flowing green hair could be seen in the distance
Inside of Louise and Wardes room
Louise was listening to Wardes
"One day I shall be a king, Louise." Wardes said while flexing his well built muscles
"Louise do you remember when we decided to get engaged."
Flash back
I was about 9 years old on a small boat crying
When I heard a voice from the sky
"Louise why are you sad ?"
I looked up and seen man floating from the sky
The man landed on the opposite side of the boat from me
"Wardes !" I excitedly called out and jumped into his embrace
"Are you crying because you got scolded by your father again?" Wardes who looked about 18 years old
"Yes, all of the other noble kids my age can use magic but u still can't." Louise said with eyes that no nine year old should have, eyes filled with sadness
" That is okay, I'm sure you will be able to use magic someday everyone has their own pace."
Wardes
"You really think so ?" I asked full of Hope
"Yes, I know so." Wardes answered
"Wardes lets make a deal." I said
"Hmm okay what ?" Wardes
"When I'm old enough, lets get married." Louise
"Yes, I'll marry you." Wardes
Flash back ends
"It's been so long since then, yet it feels like it just happened." Wardes said
Louise looked as she was in deep thought "Yes...it does."
Wardes was leaning in to go for a kiss but right as they were going to Louise hesitated and then retreated
Louise was unsure about still going through with the marriage, she was so young then and the age gap between them
"So it seems as you are unsure about our relationship as I have guessed, is it that man." Wardes
"Diablo, he is just a familiar...and very rude and arrogant." Louise
"Then what is it have you forgotten your feelings Louise." Wardes
Wardes wanted an answer,an answer that Louise couldn't answer at the time
so she sat silently
"So you can't answer...(sigh).....I'll be getting a forth room." Wardes said
"Wait wardes-"
"Good bye Louise"
Outside the INN that night
(SLAP)
Guiche had just recieved a slap from a girl, and the girl stormed off
"Jeez I only wanted a kiss, these mountain town girls are hypersensitive..." Guiche said as he walked away rubbing his cheek
If he would have looked up he may have seen a shadowy figure watching the event
The next day, behind the inn, Diablo's POV
"Are you ready for this duel." Wardes said drawing his sword
"Stop this now !" Louise shouted
We were in a wide open space just wide enough to do really do PVP battle
the walls from buildings surrounded us and barrels neatly piled up on each other on each wall, everyone had shown
"Yes, I'm ready to beat you." Diablo
"Show him the pride of the army of Tristain." Guiche called out to Wardes
"Just make this quick Diablo." Rem yawned
"Don't encourage them." Louise shouted at them
"I'm sorry my dear Louise, but us nobles are very troublesome, once we meet someone who is strong we wont stop until we know who is stronger." Wardes said smiling at Diablo, while pointing his prod-like sword at him
"I told you before I am. There is no one in this world stronger than this Demon Lord." I say drawing Derflinger
"Begin" Wardes shouted
Diablo pov
We both charged and met up in the center of the space with our blades colliding
The symbol on my hand glowed
(Yes after long grinding since I came to this world, I going to actually get to test my limits...hehehheh)
Wewent toe-to-toe with slashes, thrusts, and parries
Then to test his offense I stopped attacking and went on the offensive
He used his sharp prod to thrust at me but I blocked every single one
It was obvious that was his style of fighting
"Looks like you slowed down, familiar." Wardes said with arrogance
"Who me ?" I said as I went back on the offensive
I held back less to make him eat those arrogant words he spewed
I slash and slash, from one side to the next, and I as I do so I double the speed and power
He obviously could predict where the next slash was going, but this technique wasn't to actually land an attack on him, but to physically and mentally tire him out
I started to see him sweat so I know my method is working
"You are...(huff) certainly strong, I have heard you were a powerful mage....lets see how you fair against my magic." Wardes said as he began to what I think is chant
"It wont work." Derflinger said
A wind spell activated from his sword that was meant to blow me away, unfortunately for him it wont work
(Crash) he was blown back by his own spell and crashed into a pile of barrels
"How did you do that ?" Wardes questioned
" I am a demon king." I answered
"You must have some some sort of artifact." Wardes said as he got up and move closer to me pointing his sword back
"You... you're wearing two rings," Wardes said as his eyes
"I have two wives." I countered
"But only nobility would have more than one wife." Wardes
(Apparently Louise didn't tell him I'm from another world...good.) I thought to myself
Meanwhile Wardes looked at Louise and Rem
"He really does have two wives." Louise said with a look of disgust
"Yes me and Shera...though it's possible that there would be more." Rem said
"More than two." Louise and Guiche said
"Disgusting, why would you need more than one ?" Louise said
"Impressive." Guiche said
" Good men are hard to come by, and besides this gentlemen Wardes I doubt anyone else would marry you." Rem said bluntly
"Hurtful!!!" Louise cried out teary eyed at Rem's cold statement
"Well none of that matters because I can still fight." Wardes says pointing his sword at Diablo again
"HAHAHA... You know you cannot defeat me." I laughed
Then wardes casted a spell on his self and his sword.
Moving so fast that he left after images he closed the distance between us and our swords collided again
" A wind spell." Diablo
"Yes..." Wardes said as he attacked me with a series of slashes and thrusts
Looking closer at his blade I noticed that it was glowing blue
He obviously new I was going to deflect any direct magic spell he throws at me, so he chose to invoke the spell on his sword
I couldn't use the wind spell on myself, but I could further increase my own strength and speed with martial skills
We continue our exchange for a few more minutes and he is once again breathing hard, unfortunately for Wardes he didn't know I already surpassed the limit of humanity before I even came to this world, and now I further surpass humanity in the almost two months of me being here
I say I'm about level 120 by now ?
I kicked the ground and distance myself from him
(I want to try this out) I think to myself
I touched the ground with Derflinger and form a large light blue magic circle
" Ice Minotaur" I called out
What came out was a 13 foot tall Minotaur made of Ice
"What is that ?" Guiche shrieked
" You really just like showing off don't you." Rem said boredly
(This spell was based off the golem spell, inspired by Guiche)
"It's just a modified ice spell nothing more." Wardes said as he formed lightning on his sword, (ZAP)
Wardes blew the head off of my Minotaur, but the head regenerated
This time Wardes charged towards the Minotaur and sliced it in half horizontally, this time using my magic to control the Minotaur, I gave it an order....to remain still
When Wardes closed in on the Minotaur and performed the slash, the Minotaur reacted in an unexpected way...it kept it's shape, but momentarily transformed into
water, then slammed its computer screen sized fist into Wardes back sending him hurdling
"WARDES" Louise shouted
"Diablo I think that's enough." Rem said
"Yes I think so too." I responded to Rem, "Do you still wish to continue." I ask him hoping he would give up
"Of course I would like to continue." Wardes says getting back up
"That is some trick you used, having it quickly turn into water." Wardes
"How were you able to do that ? It should be impossible to change spells that
quickly." Guiche asked
"Who said I changed spells, it's just my Minotaur is immune to physical attacks." I explain
"What !?" Louise and Guiche shout
"Prepare yourself." I tell Wardes
