《Re:Demon Lord》Chapter 10 - Siblings
Advertisement
Limit Breaker, my forbidden technique.. It is the combination of serene state and adrenaline rush. It unlocks the nerves that prevent my body from releasing more power. Every being can only unleash 0.5% of their power but with limit breaker I can surpass that restriction.
"Limit Breaker 10%...." I shout as thousands of swords rain down on me. In an instant I see everything in a blur not because the swords are moving fast but because I see everything in slow motion. The reason I didn't want to use Limit Breaker is because it gives enormous burden on the body as the nerves in the body would be in the verge of snapping. It not only breaks the limit of the body's power but also the pain limiter. With every percentage of limit I break, the same limit of pain limiter is broken. That means if I even suffer a minor injury I will get 1000 times the normal pain.
Now the swords were closing in on me and right at the crucial moment I take the sword pinned on my leg and deflect all the swords that comes towards me in a flash. For normal people watching it may have been in a flash but for me it lasted eternity, using my limit breaker even for a second gives me so much pain that I can't describe and I am only using 10%... if I surpass more than that my body may instantly fall apart.
"Splendid!!! You never fail to entertain me, do you? You must really love me. Let me return the love by fighting you seriously." With that another thousands of swords appeared in the sky.
"Damn it... is there no end to this?" I mutter to myself complaining. No choice I just snap my finger with my hand to create a sonic boom with the force and repel all the swords.
"Arg... shit my thumb's broken..." My thumb is completely bended downwards due to not being able to withstand the power of creating the sonic boom. Damn.. it seriously hurts... I notice my eyes are filled with tears...
"What's this, you are so happy that you are crying? As expected of my love." The apostle speaks up. Damn do you think anyone in the world would be happy to suffer 1000 times the normal pain? I only enjoy seeing other's in pain, not myself. I need to end this quickly, my whole body feels like it's being ripped apart.
BOOM!!! I jump straight at her and hit her with my elbow but it is blocked my the wings of swords then instantly i thrust my palm forward.
"Air Canon!!" I shoot out air cannon which doesn't budge the wings but the apostle behind gets blown away behind by the sheer force of air cannon.
It's now or never... I instantly appear below her blown away body and send another air cannon to send her flying into the air. Again I jump to chase after her then the swords starts making a weird formation...
The formation the swords are making is that of a satellite dish and huge lightning is being discharged at the tip. I can see apostle's right arm with a magic circle... Damn if I don't avoid it I am dead.

"Hahaha... take this. HOLY JUDGEMENT!!!" With that a huge white lightning is released from the magic circle into the swords and further amplifying the power to create an enormous lightning.
"SHIT!!!! AIR CANNON!!!" I try to deflect the lightning by my air cannon but it's too powerful. Damn, my right thump is broken so I will have to do with my left hand. 10% limit breaker won't be enough. Arh... no choice.
"15% LIMIT BREAKER!! SONIC BOOM!!" *splash* Blood comes out of my finger as all the nails are tipped apart and my index and middle fingers are completely broken. But that isn't the end of my suffering, due to the collision of strong forces I am blown away straight into the ground.
BANG!!! A huge crater is formed as I am blown to the ground. SHIT!! my bones are broken... damn it. As I am about to compose my self a figure comes diving at me at incredible speed and lands on top of me.
"Brggg...*cough* Arg..." I start spurting blood from my mouth as the apostle land straight into me stomping into my abdomen. I feel like I am losing my consciousness but I am not gonna give up, but damn it hurts..
"To repel the holy judgement, that's quite a feat. Let me reward you with a painless death for entertaining me for this long." With that send she drives her sword straight into my heart.
"Guaaaa............*cough*" This is hell... I guess this is how it feels to be killed in a torturous way. Shit... I am losing consciousness... argg....
Slowly my mind drift towards the darkness... but in the midst of darkness I see a light. I must be hallucinating now.... when I reach the light I have a flashback of all my actions I did in all these 6 years. The idiot mother ignoring me, the succubus bitch laughing at me, the stalker Kybera stalking me and lastly Anna who was always worried about me.
Tremendous surge fill up my body, I just reincarnated in this world for fucking 6 years and my fate is to die like this!? Never!!!! I will not allow my death to be this ridiculous. I will at least kill a god. This bitch was talking about some god, wasn't she? Hell!! I will hunt him down if that's the last thing I do.
"FUCK THE WORLD! Limit breaker 35% As I use the limit breaker tremendous amount of pain surges which makes me feel like I am being skinned alive but heck I will live to see another day.
"Wha_" Before she can speak I grab her leg that was on top of me and start smacking her like a rag doll by pulverizing her into the ground continuously. I don't know how many times I smacked her but her face was beyond recognition.
Lastly, I take out the sword stabbed in my chest.. it seems to have missed my heart by a margin. Damn! I was lucky! I grab her with my right hand at the neck since my left hand is almost broken.
"You were taking about god fearing me and what not.. tell me about it." I choke her neck to make her talk out of fear. She tries resisting but the beating I gave her seems to have considerably weakened her.

She then grabs my wrist with both her hand and speaks.
"Divine Punishment..." Huh!? A huge white magic circle appears on the ground as well as the sky. When I look at her she grins as if her victory was certain. Damn!! I should have known that a insane person like her wouldn't fear death. I should have been more careful. I won't make it in time if I struggle from her grip.. OH SHIT!!!
A huge explosion is created which engulfs everything leaving nothing behind as a huge crater is formed with smoke covering the area. *ZOOM* In a very incredible speed I am sent crashing into the ground. I keep crashing on the ground due to the force of the explosion. I stop getting crashed after a minute.
My whole body is numb and I can't feel anything. I can barely open my eyes, everything I see is dark and blurry. My body is so broken down that I can't even feel pain. I guess this is what happen when you get cocky at the last moment. It seems I dug my own grave.
"....." I can't even move my mouth. Hmm.. I feel something but I can't move to see what it is. After a moment I see Kresta filled with tears. She's just moving her mouth with tears in her eyes. I can't hear a thing she's saying but I am certain that she is worrying about me. I guess it just a hallucination before dying since I seeing this impossible scene.
To be honest, all this time I wanted to grow strong to be loved and acknowledged just like before but fate isn't so kind. Maybe I wanted to grow strong to kill and dominate as well but my objective in my sub-conscious mind was to get the thing I most wanted, that is 'acceptance'. To see Kresta crying before dying has somewhat made me happy even though we haven't talked, the feeling that your sister worries about you is... very.... warm.....
After thinking all of that I start losing my consciousness with the warm feeling of happiness I got from the hallucination.....
************************************************************************************
Kresta's POV
With the news of my father's death I was sad. Sad enough to let my little brother go in the war alone. From my mother's description about him, there's no doubt that he was strong... maybe strong enough to slaughter the whole elves but still as an elder sister I should be watching over him and even more when father just passed away. I am a hopeless sister.
I know I haven't talked with Akira but I can understand him even if it's a little since he always shows a lonely expression same like me. Mother was always strict with me and as for my father he was very playful yet serious. He didn't know how to express his feeling so most of the time he would get misunderstood but overall he was nice. He was always busy so I barely got to meet him even in the campaign but due to becoming the demon lords daughter I was pressured and it was very hard for me, especially for Wyndia since she had more talent than me and was sent to Omega Behemoth for being disobedient.
It seems it wasn't our parent idea to send her there and they weren't even aware of it. But it was someone else trying to grab the power. But it was unsuccessful and Wyndia came through it but she had changed into different person. I also regret that day not being able to do anything for her but there was little I could do for her. Now, again the same thing is happening again... I left my little brother alone...
This time I will not allow anything to happen to my siblings. With that determination I headed towards the battlefield. I was moving in a quick pace but I couldn't see anything and I started having bad thoughts wondering about Akira if he was alright.
Moments later I came across a field filled with corpse. It was messy, I couldn't even recognize if they were elves. Wondering through the field I come across a scene... there was Akira covered in blood with a woman being grabbed by the neck. I was really far away to see very clearly but seeing that scene made me more relaxed as I knew he was alright but... I was mistaken.
Just in a second a huge magic circle appeared and a huge explosion occurred not leaving anything in it's path. My heart suddenly freezed... I couldn't even move. Again I am not able to do anything... thinking that Akira was dead I was completely frozen on the spot however from the smoke, a figure came out crashing into ground. I immediately went towards the figure.
Instantly my eyes were filled with tears seeing the scene before me. The arrogant little brother of mine was in a broken state. He had hollow eyes in which one could wonder if he was conscious or not and he was missing his right arm, his left eye was bleeding and his left arm was bended backwards... I cried cursing myself for being unable to protect him.
After a little moment he twitches and smiles a bit.. and starts closing his eyes. No... I won't let it end here. With that I begin trying to revive him back using my life force as a catalyst since he's still breathing for now but I can hear rumbling from smoke at my back where the explosion happened.
"Divine Heal" With the words smoke clear up revealing a figure who had all her wounds that she previously had healed up but something was amiss.. she doesn't have the atmosphere she had when I saw her.
"Damn! That was close... Hmm.. who are you? Another toy for me to play with? Well, for a small fry like you it's a perfect timing since I can't use Aldrake for now. Come now, entertain me just like the little demon did." With that I knew I was in a pinch because she was strong and Akira needed to get healed fast or he is gonna die. And I am not about to let my brother die because of this physcotic bitch.
[Phew!! I hope this is a long one.]

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
