《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.]

The Silver Wheel Game 2: The Wolf's Gambit
In part two of this three-part series, battle lines have been drawn in the once-peaceful realm of the Silver Wheel. In one corner, we have the enigmatic and brilliant Marie Walker, whose perverse dissection of the Silver Wheel and it’s operations has left a trail of destruction in her wake. In the other, we have the staff of the Silver Wheel, who seek to return to a time before their discovery and exploitation at the hands of mortals... using any means necessary. These two forces clash for the soul of the Silver Wheel in matches of wit and fortitude, forging strange alliances and suffering harsh betrayals. But when your battlefield’s a poker table, a little bad luck is sometimes all it takes to ruin even the best-laid plans… You can read part one right here, and part three here. Art was done by the amazingly talented nebai.
8 130The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com

8 265A Traveler's Tale
Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
