Chapter 2:

The Devil's Creed Gathering

Devil Creed


In another part of the city, more precisely on the highest mountain, was the headquarters of the Devil's creed. The building was built inside the mountain and protected with an almost impenetrable barrier. There is where the creed is. The organization was created by the Demon King to take care of the security, training and military power of the country, while the King took care of the political and economic part. In the most central part of the building was the meeting room where the 10 families, the main leaders, made their military decisions or discussed the security of the city or country.

-The attacks are more frequent. he comes during the night makes chaos and leaves without a trace.- Said the leader of the Kawasaki family heir to Raiko (Raiton twin).- He comes and burns the city destroys everything that comes his way.- He spoke with an angry tone. .- 3 days ago in his last attack I came close to capturing him, but the bastard used teleprotection magic and went away.

- Exactly, he's already destroyed orphanages, schools, restaurants and one of our weapons stores. the worst part is that whenever we approach a teleport spell as Dawein said appears and takes him away.- The owner of this voice was Mikaela leader of the Yuki family, a woman with white hair and skin as cold as snow, but unlike her body temperature, her spirit was fiery and she have a polite but explosive personality.- He also knows the day that one of us is not present that is not. and coincidence we have to spot and capture him or rather kill him.

-Let's not just think about capturing him, of course we have to do that but let's think about why he does this...- Said the man sitting in the central chair of the table, he had red hair and eyes, and was wearing military clothes with a mixture of red , black and gold, it was Kojou Yamada, the leader of the Yamada.- What does he gain besides burning the city and taking the fame of a crazy arsonist. What building is he burning and why is he doing it? These questions have to be asked. I'm going to show you something we found three days ago on the day of the last attack. Yuu come here please.- Yuu was a 21-year-old who worked as the head of the guard and bodyguard for the Yamada clan, he had black hair and wore the military uniform like his lord, in addition to being skilled in the use of illusion magic and in almost all magical elements, he was a skilled swordsman in the use of zanbato, and if it wasn't enough he was handsome enough to be one of the main targets for the women of the empire. On the day of the attack, he faced the arsonist and took something from him that he took to the forensics to find out what it was.

-You can give me what the forensics gave you back yesterday.- 

-Yes, my lord.- Said the young man taking a piece of grimy cloth where the look gave him the studied object. It was a round gold necklace with a ruby in the middle.

-Before you fought him last night Dawein Yuu managed to get this out of him.

- I wanted to hit the neck but he dodged it and all I had left was the necklace. It was my mistake not to be faster

- You making mistakes, what's new about that.- Said the bodyguard of the Hazuki Family mocking Yuu.

-DIMITRE SHUT UP AND DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.- Warned the leader of the Hazuki.- I will not tolerate this type of behavior.

-I'm sorry master.- Said the bodyguard bowing his head.

- it's ok.- Yuu said a little sad.- let's continue where we left off

-Obviously Yuu, thank you.- Kojou said trying to get back to the mood of the meeting.- The necklace is of divine origin.- Everyone was a mixture of surprised and scared.

-How divine Kojou?- Asked the leader of the Fubuki, Cleo.- The pact was broken, who violated it? We have to warn Gabriel now.- Said the leader imposingly.

-I asked Gabriel yesterday and he didn't know anything, he just assumed that the gods against the peace agreement started to secretly rebel.- Everyone was wondering why. After 600 years of peace, why attack again, who would go against Gabriel, the right arm and messenger of the Supreme God. who would do that?

Kojou took a deep breath and gave explanations that no one in that room wanted to hear, but it was what everyone needed to hear, they had to know the reality they were in.

-Gabriel has an idea of who it could be and its involved, but it seems that he doesn't have enough evidence of Gods on the earth plane, which he found strange, after all, unlike the supreme God and our King, they can interfere on earth and not have been interacting with humans as they used to do and something of divine aspect to fall to earth in our territory is suspicious.- Kojou didn't mince words to express what he felt at that moment.-After all, I'm sure that night...-Yuu was saddened to realize what his master was talking about, the same was true for Kojou, when he remembered that day.- I'm absolutely sure he was a god that night-.The atmosphere in the room became heavy, as if the heaviest of mountains were on their shoulders, they needed to change the subject as their leader had done before, except that unlike him, the others did not think of destroying the good mood of the meeting again.

"Say something I'm begging" were the words everyone was thinking at that moment.

-(knock knock) My lords, I'm sorry to interrupt the meeting in this way...- by chance of fate and for the joy of those present, the meeting was abruptly interrupted.- But I bring news for Lord Kojou.

-Please come in.

The messenger from the building entered with a smile on his face as if he was about to deliver the happiest news of someone's life. Kojou looked at that smile imagining what that young man standing there in a position of respect would say, he imagined good news but what would it be and what would it be.

-So, what do you have for me?-

-Your son sir.

-What's wrong with Haruka?- After years without seeing Ryuu, all the news about his sons was about Haruka, his eldest son.

-No sir, it's nothing with the young master Haruka. Your other son...Ryuu went back to town.

Kojou was stunned, a discreet smile appeared on his face showing his happiness but also not losing his composure in front of his colleagues and friends present in the meeting room. He didn't know how to react, didn't know whether to jump with happiness or hold back, but the joy that both Kojou and Yuu were feeling was unquestionable. Yuu was Ryuu's bodyguard until the training trip, he was eager to see him again to see how the child he had taken care of was doing and how strong he had become, so it's just as excited that Kojou was something normal and it wasn't surprising.

- Excuse me. Yuu let's go- Kojou says this with some excitement and happiness in his voice.

- Yes master.- Yuu felt the same

Meanwhile Ryuu found himself in the room that was once his room, it was a big space for a 9 year old to sleep in, honestly it was the same size as a one bedroom house in that city. nothing had changed since he left. his bed was still messed up like the day he left, his coffee table still had the shogi board that he never used for anything other than a support for sheets that he used in his tasks, his desk was tidy because it was the only place in the room that Ryuu didn't use it, so it didn't seem strange to him.

- Nothing has changed here. Well I'm glad it hasn't changed actually.- He walked towards the balcony and was admiring the view he had of the city. in the 9 years he lived there he had never admired a view as much as that, he could see everything, from the bakery where he bought the pies to the city gate, but that's because the demons have great senses, Ryuu can see 10 km of distance on the horizon easily, if he concentrated hard enough he could see Stratos from his room but that would be a waste of his magic power.

- I knew I had felt your presence, the strange thing is that nothing has changed since you were 9 years old...- The voice came from outside the room and caused a nostalgic feeling in Ryuu.- You got stronger but I think it's still the same little boy as before...- said the man who entered the room, he was approximately six feet tall, black hair, wore a general's outfit and carried two swords at his waist.- it's very good to see you again boy.- the voice was from Akatsuki Ryuu's uncle, his father would be happy to know he came home...-Ryuu interrupted him with a giant and tight hug, I hadn't seen him since he was a child and they were very close, after all he was a of his instructors in the handling of sword and magic, that reunion took away the giant weight that nostalgia could be for someone.

-I missed you uncle.

- I also felt the same boy.

After a while the hug ended and they started talking about everything Ryuu had lost in the last 6 and a half years. How were his old friends and his family also talked about the arsonist who had been destroying random buildings in the city and who used fire magic almost as powerful as Kai's best friend Ryuu and his first rival, descended from the Kawasaki clan the twin clan to Yamada, the two specialists in magic of manipulation of lightning both physical and elemental only that while the Yamada summoned red lightning the kawasaki used black lightning, this was caused by Raiton and Raiko. The twins were born with different abilities but being the same at the same time, Raiton could use fast and powerful attacks that affected the opponent and his magic circuit, that is, his lightning attacked the physique and spirit of his opponents using fast and powerful attacks, already Raiko used his power to destroy his opponent to the point that he couldn't get up, Raiko's lightning was compared to being crushed by a mountain while being electrocuted, and Raiton were compared to being slashed by billions of swords that in addition to affecting the  even affected your magic circulation. The strength of the two was on the same level, but part of that changed when Raiko absorbed the magical power of her younger brother Ignis, on the day of his death. Raiko got his brother's power of manipulation making him the second of his brothers with the most powerful offensive power.. Different but equal powers.

- Your father has been after this lunatic for a few months and this has already started to make him stressed, capturing him is now a priority not only for the Empire but also for your dad's health.- Said Akatsuki worried about his older brother. It had been a while since I'd seen him relax or take a break, his concern wasn't for nothing.

- You told me that his fire magic control was advanced as Kai's, that means this guy has the same potential as Lord Ignis.- Spoke intrigued.

- Exactly and that scares us, Ignis could face Gods, and with the power that you reincarnated have now could handle a demigod above average. and even though Kai still has to train to reach his maximum potential which we know is not even close to the power he has now, the same goes for you Ryuu, we know this guy is dangerous. With the power that you the reincarnated have now could handle a demigod above average. If this guy has the same kind of potential that you, in the future he will be a higher level threat.

- This guy must be strong as fuck.- Ryuu thought "what will happen if I face this guy". After all he had an advantage over him. He was able to use advanced lightning magic in addition to being able to use ice spells up to rank 6 and wind magic up to rank 5 In addition to having his trump card in his high speed and mastering teleport magic at short and medium distances. He was someone who on a battlefield the enemy should act as quickly as possible, otherwise he would end up being cut by his sword, which made him rival Kai and other demons of the empire that at that time were much stronger, as an example his older brother Haruka and his sister Moegi. He would be an opponent feared by almost everyone, it was normal to want to measure his strength after everything he's been through.


Walking through the city as fast as possible to reach his address Kojou wonders how his son will be, how strong he got, he got faster than he already was. These questions echoed in his head the anxiety was great and he couldn't wait to see him. Didn't know what to expect from his son as he hadn't seen him in years, but he knew he had become someone strong. All these thoughts made his head work a million an hour making him enter some kind of zone and as a result time passed so quickly that before he realized he was in front of his house.

-How can I talk to him? he said nervously.- To tell the truth I don't know either.- Yuu tried to console his master, it was normal to be nervous- Do you think he remembers everything that happened that night?- Mr. Ichika sealed the bad parts of his memories, he must remember that she died but... I hope he doesn't remember the way it happened.- He said worriedly, and then said in a low voice.- If I hadn't been so useless that night.- Yuu said while belittling himself.
