That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Primordial Demon

「Note: I'll say this one thing. Events from here on may differ greatly but not so far off from the canon. This will be realized while reading this chapter.

Establishment of new characters, new skills, and other sort of things imaginable should be expected. Such a drastic change of events should've been expected considering the fact that our MC is not a canonical existence.

I made this change to make some chapters cooler. I know the introduction of new characters may create a bit of confusion, but I hope you all bear with me. What's a fanfic without one's imagination going wild?」

 ◇◇◇

With everyone prepared, they headed to the location of the main cause of the recent earthquakes.

With Sariel's unique skill, they were instantly teleported to the source of all this.

Before they could do a thing, a shocking announcement was released to the world.

VOTW: 「Conditions have been met. The individual Milim Nava shall begin their evolution into a demon lord.

Upon its completion, gifts will be bestowed onto the monsters under their genealogy.」

Such was what the World's Voice announced to the world.

They were too shocked to even act.

Sariel: 「Milim? Is she the cause?」

Sariel said, thinking about the sudden announcement.

Rose: 「If that's the case, we're in for one big fight. She isn't his daughter for nothing.」

If it was his daughter, then I don't even know what to think of.

Sariel, who was arguably the second closest to Milim, was dumbfounded.

What would possibly drive her mad enough to kill a whole nation's population?

He thought, confused at the sudden turn of event.

Before he could think of a scenario, a loud scream was heard.

Sariel: 「Wait, that's... Milim's pet dragon....」

He said to his group, slowly realizing the state of things.

Sariel: 「Rose, Norana, I think I need you to handle this dragon for me. The rest of us will deal with Milim.」

Rose: 「Why do you tend to be so mean? I would be more than happy to assist you with Milim.」

Sariel: 「....」

Rose: 「Fine. Have it your way... Meanie...」

Sariel: 「Thanks a lot.」

Rose: 「Hmph!」

Sariel: 「*Sigh*」

It looks like I have some making up to do after this.

He sighed at her antics. He knew just how much she wanted to deal with Milim, but he was the only one he could completely entrust the dragon to.

As they left, Sariel spoke up.

Sariel: 「Alright guys! We're in for a life and death battle. I hope you're ready to face it.」

They all gave him a determined nod. Seeing their determination, Sariel smiled in satisfaction.

Sariel: 「Good. Let's adapt ourselves to the state of things before making a solid plan.」

They headed off to where they felt Milim was.

On their way to the selected location, they stared at the lifeless land.

The earth had shattered beyond recognition; it had already swallowed the remains left by the destruction, making the land seem empty.

The earth was no longer a straight three-dimensional surface, but now a ragged and distorted area.

The buildings that survived the destruction were already on fire, producing dark smokes that suffocated the air.

Luckily for them, the need for breathing was non-existent.

This applied to each and every one of them as they were all spiritual life-forms.

Sariel: 「Damn. We weren't even late, and she has already caused this much destruction.」

As he spoke, another earthquake ensued, destroying the already devastated land.

Sariel: 「Alright, this has to stop now. I'll teleport to her location directly.」

Lunax: 「Wait, isn't that a bad idea. The fluctuating magicles could cause the magic to fail.

Also, you might meet a very bad situation by teleporting directly to the center of destruction.」

I knew this truth better than anyone, but that should be the least of my problem.

If this continues, the damages will be irreparable.

Thinking of this, Sariel shook his head in response.

Sariel: 「Don't worry. Even before we arrived, I had already thought this through. It will be dangerous—yes, but that is all.」

He said with a fearless smile. They all turned to look at each other before nodding their heads.

Sariel: 「Alright. You guys should take care of the damages. I have a child to tame.」

Saying that, he disappeared. Teleportimg directly to the culprit.

He knew the dangers behind such a careless action, but that didn't stop him from doing so.

Seeing that he had left, Garcia spoke up.

Garcia: 「Let's get started then.」

Pico: 「I guess we can only pray for his success.」

 ◇◇◇

I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but since when has life ever taken it easy with me?

As I disappeared from my previous world, I was faced with something I never thought I would experience.

Becoming a primordial demon. Something a layman like me would never expect.

Even so, I–

Milim: 「『DRAGO NOVAAAAAAA』!!!」

A furious blast was sent towards my direction at an insane speed.

I couldn't even react when the projectile blast hit me.

I faced the full force of Milim's attack as the blast became more intense.

With that, my consciousness blacked out.

I was transported to some unknown known place, where my perception of time was lost.

A place filled with primordial chaos.

A mythical chaos dimension I would never forget.

My Soul World...

Sariel: 「.... What just happened?」

「Answer, you were transferred to your soul dimension.」

That much is clear. No shit sherlock!!

「Notice. Your genuine praise is-」

——— Don't. Even. Think about it. I dare you– ———

「–Notice. Your genuine praise has been rejected.」

——— .... ———

As I was thinking, does that mean that barrier technique worked?

「....」

I mean, it did work, but it felt so natural.

Kalisha: 「Yes. I'm sure it worked out.」

I see. I didn't think I'd be one-shot the instance I appeared.

But that just goes to show how serious the situation is.

I'll need to up my game, I guess.

Thinking of such, I decided to teleport back to my initial position.

Now that I come to think about it, she did use a very powerful blast attack on me, one which I definitely did not survive.

I turned to look at the kingdom I felt was supposed to be behind me, but it seemed like the attack was not meant for me, but them.

Perhaps they were the perpetrators?

I remember how corrupt the Super-Sorcery Kingdom's King became after the lizard subjugation.

It wouldn't be a shock if they thought that by enslaving God's daughter, they could become the new god or something.

I can definitely see a fat-as-hell king thinking of such a stupid plan with a sky-high ego.

*Sigh*

I ignored such humorous thoughts and focused on my main goal.

This time, it would be a dragonoid subjugation.

Looking at her, she had a completely different appearance.

Clad in a black draconic skin-like armor, with a rainbow colored horn protuding out of her forehead.

Floating above the newly destroyed kingdom, she had a crazed expression that showed just how mad she was.

Wasting no time, I appeared behind Milim, aiming to finish things as quickly as possible.

With my sundering ability, I aimed a punch to her head, intending to knock her out.

But as we have it, the attack did nothing to harm her.

Seeing as she was attacked, she aimed a strike to my torso, with a deadly infusion of energy that would absolutely destroy my magic circuits.

Not wanting to see the result of such an attack, I instinctively flew out of the attack range.

The space around where I initially was distorted to the point of visibility, a catastrophic result of her attack.

None of the opponents I've faced have managed to do such a thing with a casual blow of the hand.

Witnessing such a scene, I sweat-dropped comically.

Sariel: 「This is so unfair...」

Saying such a thing in a fight is beyond the heights of stupidity.

Since I came to this world, it was clear that this was a dog eat dog world. It was I who decided to have it the difficult way.

Even though I knew this very well, I still let my naive nature take the best of me.

Even now, I still do such things, but now, things are not going to be the same.

This fight is going to be beyond me, but just like I always do, I will win.

Becuase that's the way we silver demons play.

Kalisha: 「Wow. A whole speech created about genuine trash...」

Ouch.

Ignoring such thoughts, I got into a fighting stance.

Milim wasted no time to launch an attack of her own.

She wasn't an opponent who used strategic measures to ensure victory but brute strength.

Exactly like some brute I knew of.

A destructive wave of energy was sent towards my direction through a punch, one which I definitely had to escape.

Creating an energy sphere, I threw this ball of energy at the energy wave.

This was no ordinary energy mass as it contained the effects of 『Life Predation』.

Sucking in all the harmful energy, the attack was successfully nullified.

Before the moment of the nullification, I appeared beside Milim, throwing thousands of energy draining blows at her sensitive points.

These were aimed at where I sensed her magic circuits.

The attack connected as Milim was sent back some distance away from her initial position.

Seeing this, I did not let up and continued my assaults.

With punches, headbutts, and the occasional kicks, I relentlessly attacked her to prevent her from counterattacking.

But this would only last for a few minutes. She caught my wrist that was lunged towards her chest, pulling me for an overhead toss.

She succeeded in doing so as I was sent down to the land.

I couldn't control my forced flight, resulting in me crashing down to the ground, creating a huge crater that was so deep that one wouldn't be able to see the inner contents.

The pain was not felt, but the impact was enough for me to grasp the true strength of this girl.

She was far too strong for her age.

Heck, using age to determine her attributes would be one of the greatest errors you could make.

——— Damn. She really packs a punch. What could I possibly use on her? A plan was already set for me, but is it enough? ———

「Answer. The plan would be set in stone soon. Please hold on for now.」

Receiving such an answer, I could only hope she was right.

I activated my 『Existence Concealment』 skill and snuck up behind her.

Infusing the chaos energy (holy-demonic energy) with my fist, I landed a heavy blow to her neck with a backhand punch.

The blow connected, sending her back. With that,the chaos energy began to do its work.

The energy began to rampage inside her body, creating destruction within her spiritual body.

She felt the pain and began to fight against the corrosion.

At some point, Raziel-san contacted me with joy.

「Notice! Analysis of the skill 『Universal prison』 has been completed! It is now possible to replicate its function!」

——— ..... I see ..... ———

It seems like this was a thing clearly done without my permission.

I can swear that I never remember asking her to do anything like this.

And yet–

「Notice-」

Oh, boy...

「-You told me that everything concerning skills was left to me.

If this is interpreted correctly, this ultimately means that Raziel can do anything they want as long as it only affect skills. The range of effects was not given.」

I see. She always thinks things through.... more like always coming with stupid excuses that actually put up a good argument.

Even so, it was my own naivety that caused this. Bravo Raziel.

「Hmph!」

*Sigh*

Turning my attention back to Milim, she seems to have recovered from my attack.

Her wrath increased, and her power was doubled.

Only God knows how troublesome it would be to fight her now.

I need to find a way to return her rationality.

I thought so whilst defending a wild attack from Milim.

If this goes on any longer, I don't think the world would remain intact.

 ◇◇◇

Rose: 「Hm... This is going to be a lot more difficult than I initially thought it would be.」

Seeing the chaos dragon right in front of her, she could tell just how strong it was.

Its toughness was one thing to think about, but its attacks could not be ignored.

A dark corruption miasma that could corrode the spirit body of any spiritual life-form.

Seeing as it continued to massacre the humans below, she finally decided to move.

Rose: 「I'm gonna go deal with that chaos dragon. Once it is weakened enogh, I hope you will be able to seal it.」

Norana: 「Hm. That wouldn't be a problem.」

They had an agreement, and their next course of action was clear.

Rose would battle the chaos dragon with Norana nearby in case there was trouble.

After weakening the dragon, Norana would cast her sealing skill on the dragon to hold it until Sariel was done dealing with Milim.

Even from such a distance, the waves of Milim's wrath could still be felt.

The shockwaves produced from their battle affected their current location, making Rose sigh in disappointment.

Rose: 「If only he would allow me to fight her...」

Seeing her partner sulk for such a reason, Norana couldn't help but sigh.

Norana: 「It's best this way.」

Rose: 「How mean could Sariel-kun get?」

Norana: 「He's not being mean. He's just dealing with matters as they should be dealt with.」

Rose: 「Right....」

She decided to put it beside her and concentrate on the main objective.

Rose: 「Let's get started then.」

Saying that, she prepared to use elemental magic.

It was always such a normal thing for her.

Her innate ability to manipulate the energy of the abyss was a natural blessing to her.

With it, she could wipe any living material out of existence.

Using that to her advantage, she cast her elemental magic on the chaos magic.

With the void energy as its source, the chaos dragon could actually feel the threat behind the assault.

It turned to look at them with anger in its eyes.

And with a loud roar...

Norana: 「Hm? Watch out.」

The chaos dragon had let out a spirit corroding shockwave, possessing the effects of spirit destruction.

The wave of energy reached Rose at three times the speed of sound.

Seeing the attack, the corners of her lips rose up.

Rose: 「Hm... You seem to have a spirit decay effect. Not that it matters in the end. My body was built on that same effect.」

Unknown to even Sariel, Rose's constitution was extremely complex and powerful.

Something like spirit decaying attacks does not work on her, seeing as her body is able to handle the minus energy from hell.

It all stemmed up from her birth.

She reincarnated as a demon, with her location near the abyss at the time.

Being affected by the radiations produced by the minus energy, instead of dying, she had managed to conquer this with her will alone.

Her spirit adapted to the effect.

Along with that, her spirit body's constitution was restructured to withstand the foreign energy.

This was how Rose was able to manipulate the energy of the void without any problem whatsoever.

With her will and efforts, she had managed to acquire a skill that granted her the ability to produce minus energy.

But instead of allowing the energy wave to hit her to prove this fact, she decided to act.

Rose: 「I would normally test this theory out for fun, but Sariel-kun can be such a whinny babe.」

Saying that, she made a sweeping motion with her hand holding her fan and using it as the source to disperse the energy wave.

It worked successfully as the wind produced by her fan was no ordinary breeze.

Norana: 「Hm... you still have some hidden skills you didn't show us in our spar, don't you?」

Rose: 「Ara~ Don't make it look like I was trying to hide some of my skills.

I only recently learned how to properly utilize them for my future fights.」

Norana: 「You're not letting up, huh?」

Rose: 「Excuse me?」

Norana: 「Nope.」

Sariel warned me to always be careful with how I deal with her.

He is the only one who understands her for some reason and is also the only one who can deal with her, so I guess I'll do just that.

Thinking so, she decided to let the matter die.

Hmm... just what did Sariel-kun tell them about me?

Rose thought deeply whilst avoiding the blast attack the chaos dragon had decided to release.

She had already made a mental note to bug him about it.

Focusing her attention back to the chaos dragon, she already had a plan in mind to weaken it.

If I attack its magic circuits, it will make the use of any type of attack more costly in terms of energy.

This was every spiritual life-form's weakness.

Once they've depleted their energy reserves, death is the next best thing for them.

With that plan in mind, she began to launch coordinated attacks at vital parts.

Seeing her plan come to fruition, the chaos dragon roared loudly, attempting to grab hold of her.

She dodged each attack and continued her relentless assaults.

With her fan folded, she used it as a blade to stab deep into the chaos dragon's magic circuits, making its energy to leak out.

The chaos dragon could do nothing but attack relentlessly, but as time went on, it became weaker.

Hence, Norana stepped in.

Norana: 「Alright, my turn. Don't be stingy.」

Rose: 「Hmph!」

Rose gave her some personal space to perform her art, and with that, she began.

Norana: 「"Imprison all evil spirits, and seal all unwanted forces" 『Universal-!」

She couldn't finish her words when a dark evil light approached her at sub-light speed.

Seeing this, Rose intervened.

She pulled Norana out of the way, forcibly preventing her from sealing the chaos dragon.

The dark light from before crashed to the ground with a heavy force that was sure to leave a deep crater.

As the dust and debris produced from the crash settled down, the culprit was revealed.

「Note: Guess who the perpetrator is.」

I assure you that this is a canon character, so take your beautiful time guessing who this culprit is. So without further ado, see yah!」
