Chapter 86: Chaos Karma
Third Person PoV
"So, Crom, do you want to join my peerage?" Cain asked the dragon lady.
"What is that?"
Cain motioned to Rayla and in a few minutes, Crom knew Cain's question.
"No."
"Why?" Cain asked, seemingly understanding her answer.
"I am a dragon, a free creature. Also, you haven't made me accept you! We still haven't decided a victor between us."
Cain nodded at that and said.
"How about this, you fight Scathach, and if you win I will fight you, if you lose, I will get you to join my peerage?"
Crom grinned at that and said.
"Sure, suits me, I get to fight two opponents!"
"Fine, Scathach please. Also, Fia I am going to find Tiamat, I will return after that."
"Yes, my lord. But your breakfast?"
"I will take it after finishing my job."
Cain said before unfurling his wings.
"Tiamat is almost as strong as me, don't be overconfident."
Crom warned. But Cain laughed and said.
"Wait till I bring her to you!"
And Cain blasted away at full speed.
"So Godslayer, I have heard of your fame long since, but you always stayed cooped up in that dimension of yours, let's see if you live up to your name."
"I am also waiting to see the might of the strongest evil dragon."
The two of them followed Zeaira who was supposed to be their referee, while Grayfia and Rayla went to do their jobs.
…
In the familiar forest, there was a huge cave, enough for even the largest creatures to enter.
But no one dared to enter it, even the devil's most used to the familiar forest didn't dare come near it.
Zatouji, the sixth, was as always trying to breed more familiars in order to gain stronger ones so that he could become a familiar master.
But he suddenly saw a shadow pass above him, at extreme speed.
"Who was that, no wait! That way is the Chaos Karma Dragon's cave!"
Zatouji ran behind the shadow but was too slow, but he was determined to save a life today.
He knew the destination of the fast devil, so even if he is slow he can reach there and hopefully save him.
His father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and more worked in the familiar forest. Maybe the dragon would spare the devil if he begged her.
…
Tiamat yawned, she was currently in her dragon form, it was huge and covered in celestial blue scales all over.
"Damn that Draig, he took my treasure and then lost it all, my current horde ain't anywhere near to even begin to match my previous one!"
This was normal to Tiamat, cursing the Red Dragon Emperor like nothing. She was about to go inspect her collection for the tenth time today when she sensed someone at the entrance of her cave.
"Hmm, which fool wandered here? He will go away on his own, wh-!?"
Tiamat had no time to react as a large spear of light crashed into her shoulder. Her scales weren't even pierced, but the blunt force forced her a few steps back, in dragon steps, that is.
"Which fallen wants to die!"
Roared Tiamat, her roar traveled throughout the forest, making every single beast go into hiding.
Only Cain and Zatouji were the ones still standing fine and working towards their goal.
Tiamat rushed out of her cave at an astonishing speed and came face to face with a silver-haired, red-eyed devil, instead of the fallen angel she had been expecting.
After all only one clan used light spears in the devil's.
…
"Tiamat I shall beat you and then you will join my peerage!"
Cain said dramatically, his newfound dragon knowledge from Crom on full display.
"You fucking idiot, couldn't you have just asked nicely then?" Tiamat roared.
"Don't dragons only listen to someone stronger who has beaten them?"
"No, only some dragons do that!"
"Oh! So we can talk?"
"No, I am going to kill you now!"
'Again, it seems that could have gone better, weird I feel like I have said that exact sentence.'
Cain dodged a sea of pale blue flames as ravaged his former standing place. He looked at the angry dragon and sighed.
'I shouldn't trust battle maniac's words casually from now on.'
Cain created more spears and launched them, Tiamat ignored them and rushed forward.
The spears once again failed to pierce her scales but the blunt damage accumulated.
Tiamat was aware of this thus she chose to end this battle quickly, but Cain was too fast for her to achieve this.
This she had to focus on dodging and defending from those spears. This made the fight harder as she was trying not to harm the forest.
'Tch, my cave is here and the forest is too precious to be destroyed. Damn this Lucifer!'
Tiamat began to make this a battle of attrition but Cain had other plans, he wanted to end this quickly, a long drawn-out battle was not in his mood right now.
Cain transformed, it's not that he wasn't capable of defeating Tiamat in his normal form, but it would take time, she wasn't like Crom who gave up the fight for pride.
Cain's body changed, he grew taller and more beefier. His hair became back and landed till his neck, horns grew on his head.
A tail grew behind him and his eyes became purple. He looked at Tiamat whose eyes were opened as wide as they could.
The pressure radiating by Cain just by standing there was already suffocating Tiamat, she didn't even want to think what would happen if they fought now.
But Cain wasn't thinking about that.
'My breakfast will get cold, gotta end this fast!'
Cain created several blacklight spears, the same size as before but the power stored in them was numerous times stronger now, and launched them at Tiamat.
Tiamat cursed her luck and dodged but two managed to pierce her scale, Tiamat had already covered herself in the thickest layer of dragon aura she could.
She growled in pain but her head was banged down to the ground by Cain's legs. Her scales broke and began to bleed.
She tried to fight back but Cain quickly immobilized her, punches and kicks landed on her legs and back, breaking her scale and creating a large puddle of blood below her.
To reduce the area she had to protect she shapeshifted to her human form, her body became smaller, but her strength was unchanged.
Dragons who have mastered their shape-shifting don't lose their combat power if they change to human form.
Tiamat, the only female dragon king, was lying on the ground, with multiple wounds all over her body.
Blood dyed her hair and skin red, her clothes were similarly damaged by dirt and the fighting.
Her slitted eyes looked at Cain with animosity but Cain looked indifferent to her.
Cain's tail snaked around her neck and lifted her to eye level with him, and began to constrict, her oxygen flow was being cut off, and darkness was encroaching on her, so was the feeling of death.
She clawed at Cain's tail but didn't manage to pry it off. Gradually her resistance died and she went limp, and then Cain asked.
"So, wanna join my peerage?"
"Y-yes!"
Tiamat answered weakly and the tail relaxed, letting her breathe again. Cain lifted her and put her on his shoulder as he began to fly back.
…
Zatouji was shocked, he had just reached the thicket near the cave and saw an astonishing scene.
The strongest dragon king, The Chaos Karma Dragon was hung limply by a tail from the devil.
Her body looked battered and brushed heavily, blood was dripping from her body to the ground, making the already huge puddle even bigger.
The two talked about something and then the devil put Tiamat on his shoulder and flew away.
"This is bad, I need to inform the Satans that Tiamat has been abducted by a devil!"
Zatouji quickly teleported to Agares and rushed to see the satan he could get an audience with.
…
Cain landed in the arena to check the results of Scathach fighting Crom and the scene in the arena was about what he expected.
Crom was layed flat on the ground, on her stomach. Her jacket was ripped, her shirt had holes, and Her pants were ripped in multiple places.
One of her boots was missing, her hair was looking more orange than golden. Her body was also noticeably redder.
And Scathach was sitting on her back. Her clothing was also not the best but she was in a much better state than Crom.
The Arena was destroyed, it would require a week of repair. Just at that moment, Cain landed and put Tiamat on the ground.
Scathach looked indifferent at that but Crom looked wide-eyed, first at Tiamat's body and then at Cain.
"What is that?" Her mouth said weakly.
"My super devil form." Cain said as he snapped his fingers and Grayfia appeared behind him.
"Fia, heal the two of them and let them rest, I will have my breakfast in a while, after showering."
"Yes, Cain-sama, but isn't Tiamat-sama in a really bad state?"
"Believe me, Scathach was even worse when I fought her."
Cain winked at Scathach and then teleported to his room.
"He beat you worse than that?"
"He killed me, literally, and revived me."
Scathach said to Crom as she stood up and went inside the castle. Crom then looked at Grayfia and asked.
"Why didn't he fight me in that form?"
"Master probably wanted to end the fight quickly, as he still hadn't done his breakfast, he was drunk when fighting you, and then he let Scathach-sama get some relief."
Grayfia said as she teleported Tiamat to a room inside the castle.
"Relief?"
"You will understand in a few days."
Grayfia said as he teleported Crom to a room too. She then instructed the maids to heal and cater to the two dragons as she went to prepare Cain's breakfast and serve him.
This was the sole job she still did every day, as a maid. Other times she was busy handling the affairs of house Lucifer and helping the others in their jobs.
…
Cain ate his breakfast and then did some of his work. The day passed by quickly, and Cain went to see Nyx.
Entering Soulscape, Cain immediately went to find Nyx and found her looking at some black roses.
"What happened, Cain?"
"Can't I come to visit you without any reason?"
"Sweet tongue." Nyx playfully said.
Cain hugged her from the back and covered her palms with his own. Nyx leaned back to him, her black hair in contrast to his white shirt.
The two stayed like this for a while and then sat down on the grass. The two talked about their experiences for a while and naturally, things went into the adult section.
Cain spent the night with Nyx, and Ereshkigal joined in mid-spar. Cain was overjoyed while Nyx was amused.
Ereshkigal was bashful but in the end, her love won and the lovers' night became a threesome.
…
Cain sat down for breakfast, this time Medusa, Morgan, and Ingvild were sitting with him.
"Two dragons this time? What is next, a cerberus who transforms into a woman?"
Morgan asked as she drank water.
"Not really, Hades would begin to fight me the moment I enter Hell. But some Yokai's might be on the list."
Morgan only looked at him in astonishment, but soon shook her head and began to eat her food.
"Cain-san, can I go to meet Sera-chan?"
"Sure, you don't need my permission for it, Ingvild. I am not an evil guy who likes to enslave people."
Morgan spitted her food, Medusa began to cough, while two dragons suddenly began to have a bad dream.
"What? Did I say anything wrong?"
Cain said looking inquisitively at the Gorgon and Fae. Ingvild also did the same but said.
"Maybe their food got stuck?"
"Indeed, that was the case."
Medusa said, her expression was unable to figure out. Her eyes were covered by a blindfold.
"Didn't I tell you not to wear it?" Cain said.
"Yes, I shall change it after breakfast."
The breakfast was a silent matter after that, but Cain signaled to Morgan that he would deal with her later.
The woman in question only sent an ecstatic look at him. Morgan and Ingvild went away while Medusa followed Cain to his study.
Cain sat down and looked at Medusa.
"So, any reason for you following me?"
Medusa began to fidget, although it was a unique thing to watch, Cain restrained his mind and asked.
"What happened, Medusa?"
"I want your blood!"
Cain opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. And stood up, and stood near Medusa.
Her face was still plain, but her cheeks were noticeably redder and her body posture turned from predator to prey.
Cain sliced open his two fingertips and brought them near Medusa's mouth. Her response was as expected she took the fingers into her mouth and began to suck.
Her tongue licked the two fingers with fervor, and her saliva coated every bit of his fingertips and his digits.
Cain looked amused as soon his wound healed and Medusa stopped her licking l, but didn't stop nibbling.
Cain pinched her tongue and dragged it out.
"Did I say you could stop? Keep on doing it."
Medusa looked shocked at that but nodded and soon her act was rewarded with more of Cain's blood.
The act continued for a while and a red-necked Medusa came out of Cain's study. Which Grayfia observed.
"Was the act satisfying, my lord?"
"It wasn't what you think, but it was enjoyable."
"I see, thanks for satiating my curiosity."
"No problem, the time to go to Japan draws near."
"Indeed my lord."
…
AN:- F-it this is the last chapter of this volume. This has drawn too long, more than a 100k words, the plan was to be around 75k.
Don't worry the next volume would be a little bit fast paced with canon characters. We will be entering Canon from the next volume, it will be the Japan arc and then all pre canon events and births of all the characters.
The Aztecs will also be handled in the next volume.
Cheers! And as always, a heartfelt thanks to all who have supported me till now. I hope the support continues in the future!
