Kiyu’s expression looked as if he had seen a ghost but it wasn’t anything but a normal guy..? I think I might be going insane now.. I hear voices in my head Kiyu thought nothing more of it but more on who that unknown person was because they lived in a small town, they were only guarded by mediocre skilled knights but it was better than nothing.
Not like there was anything to guard against, Kiyu was always curious about the outside but all the monsters he ever saw try to attack the town were just small weak monsters.
This man had vantablack hair in a ponytail shape, a medium sized stature, a really fine looking suit, and the most noticeable thing.. the full black mask on his face. It was weird to Kiyu because there wasn’t anything on the mask, it was just… blank.
Kiyu was just curious on who exactly this random man was and went up to ask Draco
Kiyu walked up to the door “So da..” A hard large object smacked his face, interrupting him and then a thud sound could be heard next to him. His head instinctively turned and what he saw was nothing like he had seen before.
Kiyu’s legs collapsed but he quickly regained his balance and leapt away “AHH, IS THAT A HEAD?!?” He screamed so loudly even the world might have heard it.
“You aren’t fooling me, monster.” Draco’s blade finally unsheathed, the blade had a vibrant jade green on one side and pearl white on another. The green draconic energy that was emanating from Draco has also begun to emanate from the blade.
The man’s head twitched and flew right back onto the body with no blood in sight.
“How interesting.. blades that emit green draconic energy and that design.. HAHAHAHA!!! Seems like that stupid jade dragon died. What a pathetic primordial he was, always calm and collected. I hate people like that” The humanoid monster said with a playful tone.
Draco was surprised and jumped back He survived that? And on top of that, his regeneration is unmatched..! I’ll use a dissolving skill so he can’t regenerate from that part once he gets caught by it.
“I did kill Hisui, The Jade Dragon, to which these blades were given to me at his defeat. Now, you’ll also fall like your friend, by me, DRACO GALDSWELL!!!!” Draco dashed at a speed comparable to the wind as it breezes and was ready to unleash a devastating attack until he suddenly stopped.
Draco looked down to see a fleshy sharp crimson tentacle looking object coming from the man, piercing right through his leg. He grunted but swiftly sliced the tentacle off and charged towards the man with a finishing attack ready.
“I GOT YOU NOW..!!!” Draco conjured a giant jade dragon following its sword movements and with its head at the tip of his blade, ready to devour anything in its way. The humanoid monster just stood there with no defense in mind, instead it ripped out its own arm and threw it over Draco’s head and then it fell behind him.
Draco noticed this but didn’t think much of it since he though he would just regenerate his arm back. In one swift strike, the large conjured dragon dissolved the humanoid monster from the top to the bottom.
He sighed in relief but he couldn’t ignore the pain in his leg and especially how destroyed the house was. He looked at Kiyu and Isabell but they had a horrified and almost dead expression on their faces as they pointed behind him.
He thought they pointed to him
“Don’t worry, I’m fine” Draco grinned while patting the debris off of him.
“At least let me introduce myself” A voice comes from behind Draco. He turned around and saw the humanoid monster standing just fine and he patted off all the debris that fell. Draco leapt back instinctively as a giant crimson tentacle, the size of a pillar came from under the ground.

“Isabell, go to the transporter outside of the gate now! I don’t think I’ll survive so you guys should just leave for now. I’ll find you guys if I make it out of here alive” Draco then readied himself again for the upcoming attacks. Isabell and Kiyu both shed tears.
“Please make it out alive, dear.” Isabell then took off to this “transporter”.
“Dad, NOOO!!” Kiyu cried loudly and tried to resist against his mother taking him but his mom didn’t loosen her grip on him. Many other people in town came from all the commotion but crimson flesh seemed to come out of the ground and form a big sphere around them
“Do you wish to talk now?” The humanoid monster sat on a flesh stool that was made by him. Draco didn’t have much of a choice so he accepted, hoping to reason with the monster to leave.
“My name is Maot Von Equalia, you could say I’m a primordial classed monster. I was tasked with killing that white haired kid. I’ve been told by a deity, he’ll be this land’s end, the darkness that devours all, and I really do enjoy living so I’ll have to get of him beforehand, simple as that.’’ Draco didn’t listen to any words after that, how could my son end this world? He isn’t this kind of person, so this MONSTER THINK HE CAN TAKE ME FOR A FOOL?
Draco then kept using the same move he had previously used to kill Maot but he just kept instantly regenerating through the arms he throws. Draco then suddenly had a thought and stopped attacking.
“Hey Maot.” Draco’s demeanor changing into a joyful state. Maros stopped moving and became curious on why he stopped attacking.
“Hm?” Maot still intrigued on why he stopped attacking after mentioning to kill his son.
“I know how your ability works.” Draco laughed in a playful manner. Maot’s eyes lit up and began to grin.
“Your ability, regeneration is insanely fast indeed, instant even but I wondered.. how could you not regenerate the arm you just ripped out? You must be able to turn off your regeneration so you turn off your regeneration and turn it back on at the exact moment my dragon finishes dissolving you and leaving you to regenerate from the arm you threw. That must require a lot of precision, won’t it? You’ll die if I get your whole body and the other piece of you.” Draco’s excitement can be seen at on his face, a big grin formed because of this information he established.
“Well you’re right about turning my regeneration off. You see, my flaw is that my regeneration only regenerates from the part of my body that is the biggest so I could’ve been already dead if you decided to use attack that could wipe my whole body at once.” As Draco was listening to this information, a tentacle stabbed him from behind and it went through his left thigh.
“Let me show you my other abilities now..!” Maot yells as the tentacle that stabbed through Draco’s thigh detonates and a powerful explosion erupted in Draco’s body and his leg was gone. He ignores the pain and forms a green leg out of energy. Draco and Maot both charge at each other
“SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!!!!” They both scream excitedly, Draco having a blast trying to kill Maot and Maot having a blast finally finding someone this strong to battle him.
1 HOUR LATER.
Isabell finally makes it to the transporter, supposedly a stone platform with 4 pillars and a teleport incantation on the floor, but finds it all destroyed with fleshy bits still scattered all over the platform. She then runs into the dark forest near her, scattering through all the bushes and plants to find something.
“Mom.. is dad going to be okay?” Kiyu wiping the tears from his eyes.
‘He’ll be okay, he is a really strong hunter so don’t even worry!” She finds a bundle of tall leaves and with all her might, rips it apart to find a large cannon.
“Alright this’ll be scary Kiyu but I’ll have my barrier magic protecting.. us..?” A sharp pain could be felt through her heart.
Splat
Splat
Isabell looks down to her chest and sees a crimson red tentacle piercing right through her heart.
“Honey.. you.. lost..?” She used the last bit of her strength to put Kiyu in a barrier ball and into the cannon
“Mom!!! Please don’t leave me!” Kiyu begged and cried but it was all ignored.
“Take care of yourself Kiyu and just know, we always love you.” Isabell then launched the cannon and cast another barrier all around the cannon and her. Maot walks up to the barrier and multiple hardened flesh spikes come out of Maot and they all attack at once and pierce through the barrier. He then goes for Isabell, multiple flesh spikes also pierced her–she falls limp.
He then shoots a flesh shaped hand towards the barrier magic that barely stabilizing at a lightning speed. Kiyu’s heartbeat raced and he screamed every second as the hand grabbed the ball and pulled itself towards Maot. The ball then stops getting pulled and falls along with the hand, it had been cut by something.
“This is all I could do.. Kiyu.” Draco’s body filled with holes and barely grasping to life uses his last ounce of strength to free Kiyu.
“You’re still alive? What a bummer, you didn’t accept my request to become a monster after losing to me. You were powerful indeed, you just fought the wrong person.” Maot then turns his arm a large hardened crimson flesh box and lifted it over Draco.
BOOM
Maot’s arm reverts to normal “Time to find this boy.” He leapt great heights to search for the barrier ball but can’t seem to find it.
Kiyu had been falling until he hit a rock in on the ground in a location farther away from Maot and the ball breaks but softens his fall. My whole body hurts like hell. he thought to himself as he crawled but heard the same voice in his head again.
“Turn to your left and go straight.. I’m there” The voice told him and Kiyu didn’t have anything left so he went for it. He crawled and crawled, blood dripping from his leg until he finally arrived at a hole and pushes himself in.
THUD
Kiyu wailed in pain as he held his other leg. FUCK, MY FUCKING LEG BROKE.. SHIT.. IT HURTS, PLEASE STOP IT!
“Look up, boy” The voice rang in his head. He looked up and saw what looks to be a large black knight with seals placed on it and was chained up? It didn’t look like a color though, it looked.. like darkness itself.
“Who are you..?”
