Chapter 4:

Unpleasant Memories

Devil Creed



*Hi, the chapter is kind of long but if you liked what you've read so far it's worth it*

Saotome Ryuu😁.

The Yamada clan members left their residence on the way to the big event that would be this party with the other clans. on the way, the carriage that takes them brakes suddenly and without warning-I thought she was going to meet us there- says Haruka a little surprised.-She hadn't mentioned anything to me about picking her up on the way.

-Your sister likes these spontaneous things.

The carriage doors open and a beautiful young woman with an enviable appearance enters, her eyes and hair a color between maple and black. It was Haruka's twin sister Akari and next to her was a bodyguard wearing a nice formal army attire, Sakurada Yuu was accompanying her


-I thought you said you were going alone.

-I thought that too my lord Haruka, but Miss Akari passed by my house and called me to go with you, and when I refused she said it was an order.- 

Everyone looks at the young akari with strangeness, even for a noble this was an invasion of privacy.

-If I hadn't ordered him to go alone and possibly be late, we can't let our youngest security chief arrive late at an event of this magnitude.

-Okay but ordering him to come with us is not too much...

-Haruka be quiet!

-OK, sorry

-bossy as always my sister

-Ryuu? I didn't even recognize you

Akari hugs her brother she hasn't seen in years with a force that would kill a normal human

-Yeah, bossy and strong as always.- Ryuu says with difficulty breathing.

The Yamada family was in front of a large castle of Gothic architecture, the date when it was built was not known but it could be said that it was more than 1500 years old, this castle belonged to the royal family of demons, it was the castle of the brothers Lucifer and Satan the King and Prince of demons

- Awesome as always

-Kojou don't drool at the entrance to the Demon King's house

-Sorry, and it's always an honor to come here

-It would be even better if it hadn't been here, let's go, this place doesn't bring me good memories.

Akatsuki remembers the last time he set foot in that castle, it was to celebrate the end of the competition between the demons to decide the most powerful of the children of the demon clans, the winner had been Sakurada Yuu who fought Okumura Kodaka and with a cameo from the reincarnations of the children of the demon king more precisely they fought the part and Ryuu was the winner who fought Kai of the Kawasaki clan.

Why did a night of celebration turn into a bad episode in that family's life? This is because that night Okatsu, Kojou's wife, Ryuu's mother and Akatsuki's older sister was murdered.

*Flashback*

During the celebrations, Okatsu found herself on a large balcony overlooking the forest, until she felt as if something was touching her back, it was her youngest son Ryuu who had consecrated himself as the strongest among the reincarnations of Lucifer's children, she hugs him. and at that moment she feels like her mind has been taken over by some mind control spell and before she reacts her body and mind are under control, she lets go of her son and starts walking towards the forest without anyone seeing her but Ryuu who follows her until the middle of the woods, meanwhile at the party Kojou and Aktauki were showing off their student, future head guard but also Ryuu's current bodyguard, Sakurada Yuu to the other demons

-Mom, where are you going?- Asks the young demon desperate to return to the party.

- YOU CAN STOP HERE.

A strong, menacing voice echoes through the trees. From the shadows appears a man with a black cape and silver armor underneath, the man introduces himself

-Good night young demon, let me introduce myself I am an ancient god of war.

God of War, this was a title given to the gods who fought against the demons in the last holy war, in total there were 7:

 The Sovereign of Oceans and Water Volm

the Lord of iron and steel, and of all that make up stones and mountains, the lord of the earth  Thror

The King of storms, rain and lightning, Lukast,

The Emperor of Flames and Guardian of the Eternal Fire, Pyros

The ruler of death and father of the Romanian underworld

the Messenger of the Light of Purification and Demer Exorcisms

The most powerful among them, the father of all the gods mentioned, the only son of the God among the gods who was born a God and not an angel, The King among the gods Omnos the most powerful God of war and direct rival of the only son Lucifer's living, Kurulucifer.

-Who are you

-I already said an ancient god of war. I think I can release it now but just to be sure

the mysterious man releases Okatsu from his mind control, and at the same time puts up a barrier that would not let anyone hear or feel anything that was inside, in the same second that Okatsu can analyze the situation said to his son

-Ryuu...run away.- Magic circles began to be conjured, the present God could feel the power and release the words.

- Impressive noble-grade magic for someone like you without little Okatsu who was once human.

-I didn't ask you son of a bitch, give me your power Kato.- A fire wolf appears on the battlefield was Okatsu's familiar, Kato the wolf of flames and shooting stars.- Combined magic, fire shot and alito of dragon, HELL'S ROAR.- Okatsu shoots from his mouth a blast of fire that would make a dragon jealous.

-Sacred weapon protection.- The god's body is covered by an armored blue aura the fire does not burn him.- Nice first attempt miss but...

-Earthquake.- Okatsu stomps hard on the ground and the area where the God is begins to shake causing him to lose his balance.-Earth pillars, Fire currents, Lighting bullet.

Pillars made of rock are summoned around Okatsu's opponent, followed by chains made of the most blazing fire tie him around the pillars and finally countless balls of lightning are fired from his right hand at high speed, this was one of the combo attacks. Okatsu's most lethal spell, consisting of one high-grade spell and two noble-grade spells thus creating "The Firing" one of their combined spells.

The impact causes a giant explosion capable of killing or obliterating anyone who opposes it, but its target was not just any and the God walks out of the smoke.

-You took me by surprise, it's not anyone who makes me use my protection at level 3.- divine protection has 5 levels with 5 being able to block divine level attacks and withstand Ethereal attacks.- You are strong Miss Okatsu, and it doesn't even look tired after this incredible attack. But anyway... The game is over , Aura of despair.

An evil air permeates the ground causing Ryuu to fall to his knees in fear on the ground and Okatsu paralyzed by the pressure.

The God quickly advances towards Ryuu passing by Okatsu, upon seeing this she casts 3 spells to stop the attack.

-Physical enhancement, magic enhancement, assassin fire fists.

Okatsu advances quickly, points his fist covered in flames in the direction of his opponent, but this effort was in vain, her attack is stopped with a single hand and she is thrown away. She starts casting noble-grade spells without thinking but none of them work so she has no choice. She positions herself with her fist forward and a large magic circle appears under her feet.

-I don't believe it.- says the God, laughing in surprise.- YOU ARE ABLE TO USE DIVINE GRADE MAGIC HAHAHAHA.- Screams with emotion.

-Shut up you bastard... I never thought I would use that against someone.

When she noticed that the God was distracted she quickly cast a spell of protection towards her son, the attack would not hit him but she felt more at ease knowing he was safe.

-COME YAMADAAA.

-Releasing Divine Grade Magic...BLOOD LIGHTNING.

A dome of lightning appears around the battlefield and from Okatsu's body comes a ray made of his mana and sacrificial blood to increase the power of the attack, this was a spell that could really kill your opponent if he was distracted but this one was not the case.

His attack is undone by a blue lightning coming from the hands of the God present there.

-Lu...Luka...Lukast

Okatsu starts taking steps back in fear at no time she believed he was a god of war, she thought he was just a sent angel or a human with a divine tool but everything was true at that moment she was present from the 3 god of war most feared the god of lightning and storms Lukast.

The protection around Ryuu disappeared, her mother's Lightning was so powerful that he couldn't see anything that happened.

-Bastard you could have hurt me but anyway...

-RYUU RUN, ESCAPE FROM HERE NOW IS AN ORDER, RUN...

The god advances towards Okatsu's throat

-I'm tired of you interrupting me you bitch

-MAE, YOU SON OF A BITCH.- Ryuu enters a battle stance more precisely in a position to make an iai cut and shoots towards the God.

-LIGHTNING CUT... CRIMSON ATTACKS...

He is met with a kick to the stomach right before he unsheathes his sword and rolls across the floor.

-What a disappointment...You used to be faster...Raiton. I just wish we had a little fun like the time we fought on the Kamado River, on the Rahom plains and if I was lucky, the battle in the skies of Kita City, but look at you trapped in the body of a useless, phlegm child who cry for mother. YOU COWARD.

The God kicks Ryuu's head hard enough to split the ground in two.

-*Sigh* Let's make this more interesting.- He sits Ryuu on the floor looking at his mother on the floor.- The first time we met you were about that age and you almost killed me when I did that.

-What are you going to do.- says the young demon angrily but at the same time scared

-I'll repeat the experience to see if you go back to being who you were.

The God pierces Okatsu's chest quickly destroying his heart the only part that was still human. Ryuu's mother is murdered in front of him

-Mom...MOTHER.- The desperate young man screams for his mother's name with the hope that she will answer him, but obviously nothing happens. Ryuu burst into tears not knowing what to do, his mother was dead

-It didn't work.- Lukast brings his hand closer and lifts Okatsu in the air. A light appears around her, Lukast was bringing her back to life.

-What happened?

-Mae.- Ryuu's eyes fill with joy to see his mother alive again.

-RYUU WHAT'S GOING ON...

Lukast cut off Okatsu's head as a second attempt. Okatsu's head rolls on the floor like a ball and stops in front of his son who quickly goes into despair. Disappointed Lukast revives her again and this time controlling Ryuu makes him kill her this time dismembering her mother's body, which made the young man vomit in disgust for what he did.

Lukast revives her over and over and over again killing her over and over in hopes that Ryuu will attack him but that never happened.

It's been 20 minutes since Ryuu and Okatsu disappeared from the party Kojou started to despair

-Where are they. Yuu you saw them

-No sir, I looked for them all over the castle. The last time I saw her was on the balcony

Kojou quickly looks at the balcony and deduces where she could be and if Okatsu left the party and Ryuu followed her to him that meant something happened, Okatsu would never leave an event she helped organize without telling anyone.

-YUU, AKATSUKI COME WITH ME!!-Kojou leaves towards the forest following the trail his wife left him


-Come on, kid, do something. I already killed your mother 72 times and you did nothing.

Ryuu found himself on the ground without the strength to move and with lifeless eyes. Of the 72 times his mother died, 12 were by dismemberment, 10 by fire, 8 by suicide, 3 by skinning, 2 by crushing, 17 by hanging and 20 by Ryuu's own hands through mind control.

-I'll have to reach 100 deaths apparently...

- Lightning bullet.- Kojou and the others found the energy dome in the middle of the forest.-Help me destroy it this is not done by humans or demons

-All right, Deadly charge

- Yes my Lord, Destroyer

 Lukast saw the demons and realize he didn't have enough time so he decided how this was going to end. He grabs Ryuu by the hair, looked into his eyes and say.

-Raiton... I have to go now but not before I leave you some gifts. First you'll forget that it was me Lukast who killed your mother. Not that I care what you know, but orders were given to me. Second, I want to repay you for all the despair you gave me in my life, whenever I saw those damn lightning in the sky I thought that day was going to be my last, so every time you look at the sky and see a blue lightning released for me, fear, despair and anguish took over your body. Third and last, its more like a promise, stay strong so the next time we meet I will gladly kill you and take that sword from you as a trophy. You understand me, Raiton?

Lukast performs the 2 gifts and leaves Ryuu on the floor looking at his mother's inert and lifeless body. he tries to think of revenge but his head is filled with images of his mother being killed by a tall being in armor and a black cape that will haunt him until the day they meet again.
