The demon maiden chapter six

I awoke to the shrink of a demonic, my body already burning with demonic energy. My wings were spread around me in a cocoon. I teleported to the edge of the cliff, to see a horror I have yet to see. A city of stone, burning with fel energy. Amongst the air large imps with wings similar to my own. If their wings were made like mine, then they hold massive power, though very few demons had more power than mine. Amongst the grounds were demons of snake , horse and many other, the most deadly was those in their demonic form. Similar to my own form their skin was more scaly than flesh, but their was had no demonic energy, they were simple demons with very little power. And hovering over the city, larger than any demon I had seen was a demon it’s skin as disgusting as mine own, it’s fel busting in the same war paint form as my own.

A general, a demon of so immersive power that it is impossible to kill it, being on a demonic worlds, and striking where it is weak. However you did not have to kill it, to stop it, that was my goal. The world once again opened up before me and before me was a imp demon. Upon seeing me, it summoned demonic flames and formed it into spears and flung them at me. I barely noticed them as I laid a magic sphere around me, any then sensed any demonic energies within it, then crushed them with demonic energy.

“So the spy comes out of hiding.” the general commander rumbled, demonic fire appearing as he breathed.

“So you followed me, used my demonic powers against me, like I do to your kind.” I responded, no grin on my face as I normally do.

“Your kind? Don’t make me laugh you are more my kind than those imps and demons you killed. You sense of power, sense of humor, benefits even me.” He chuckled“So I can kill you then?” I asked, no humor showing

“Not in this world, and neither can I you. Now let me send you to our homeworld, demon.”

I drew demonic enger and sent it at him, some of it taking the form of metal, some fire, some water. It pinged off him as it would had me. The problem with the demons I have taken power form, is that most are weak compared to him, even combimbing their power won’t do it, but their defensive powers should hold me. My mastery and twisting of their powers will hold me, everything I have learned will hold me.

“Oh is that all the demon maiden has to offer, let me show you my power.”

My wings became heavy , and I could no longer fly fast enough to attack. He tried to send demonic energy and form a demonic energy I was unaware of. I drew all my energy of my soul and drew that energy away from me. A metal formed in the air not two feet away from me, and hover there. I drew the power’s of the same demon that had made my walls, the demon of minds, and used it to sense the field of demonic gravity.

He drew a sword of metal, it’s ended in flames of demons. It’s power surely rivaled myself. I drew energy around myself and made as many barriers, walls, wards every defensive measure I could take. I made myself a blade and shield, it made of green demonic metal and was infused with shadows of demon’s made it one of the best blades I could make.

I only had a brief second before his sword was upon me, and my wings barley evaded the attack. My body started to burn, not with flames. But rather with engery, engery that as a demon myself I should not be experiencing. However yet again that blade was swung at me, while at the same time new spells of demonic power started to form around me. I nimbly dogged each other attack while slowly spending energy to dispel as many spells as I could.The few spells that got through I evanded and landed on the ground where the center of the gravity field was. Hours I spent this, I grew weavery and tired even as flying became easier and easier until the field disappeared entirely.

My demonic oppeanet roared in anger, and three demonic angels appeared. He spells grew more intense but his swings stopped, in exchange the angels came at me. Their weapons and armor imbued with holy and demonic energy.

I flew out of each swipe, and sent demonic energy at them, trying to form demonic energy within their bodies. But each and every time they counter and sent their own energy toward me. A combination of holy and demonic were one of the most powerful and hard to counter attacks I have dealt with.

I kept thinking out of the thirty or so demons I had most of them just gave me lots of power and energy. Only four gave me new abilities compared to the other’s. Three of those were spells and one was based on demonic martial arts.

Thinking of the last one, I changed my hands into claws and arms like a spear. I swung two fast arms, more deadlier and sharper than any spear, human or demon made I have seen. My wings slowed my speed slightly, causing the angeles to slipped by me too fast to slow. I formed the end of my wings into sharp pointed blades and swung them at the other two angles.

Surprised by my attack they stumbled with defences, unfortunately only my arms connected with their target. When then pierced the angel’s skin I released my demonic power through my skin, and the angel bursted into demonic flames, too powerful for it to handle, it’s holy power betraying it. The body fell to the ground, as bright as a star.

I had to use a lot of demonic power to fly forward and speed fast enough to dodge the two angle’s attack. I casted a spell, nearly impossible to dispel. It spewed forth demonic fire on the angles in front of me, causing them to become giant blue balls of fire, one of the only blue fire spells I had.

If they had decided to go get any distance, even a foot, it would have lost its power at the speed I casted it. But they attacked me, and that was their downfall.

A single spell came bearing down on me, it’s speed barley avoidable and it’s power would be fatal, a ball of demonic water mixed with shadows and caged souls. It left a trail nearly as deadly as the ball hurtling toward me, and I was sure those souls would summon something if I let it hit anything. Without even thinking, the world opened up and I was several feet away and the ball hit my teleport and went to a demonic world.

I turned toward the general to see him holding his sword and say “fire burst” in demonicia, or the demon language. The flames of the sword expanded outwards and them embraced me. By the time it stopped it had engulfed most of the city, and its structure was comparable to the field I had used to destroy the imps earlier.

The heat and energy of the flames kept building on my body until the pain became nearly unbearable.

“I guess I should explain, we generals have weapons of immersive power. But not even I can wield this properly. Only it’s true wielder and my master can wield it for it’s full power. But if you are not it’s true wielder but powerful enough you can wield it, however you have to say the name of each spell out loud to have the sword cast it, and with much lesser effect. Myself I am the true wielder of nearly six swords, but even I can’t use this. Even still this weapon has many instance casts, you know spells that can’t be dispelled because they happen as soon as you cast it. Though the spell caster generals have instance casts of their own.”

By the time he was done rambling, my body had become used to the flame and had absorbed small amounts of its power.

“You know I do think we have the same humor, your talking to insult my knowledge of weather instance casts were real, and bragging you had them, has given me plenty of time.”

He eyed me and then the fire disappeared, only to be replaced by the fire of the sword swinging toward me. I moved my hands to block my face and thankfully they were still hardened by being spears and only one of them became ripped, oozing green demonic power.

He began attacking in ernst again, no spells came after me, but the attacks were faster and more deadly and I could only avoid so many of them.

As I narley avoided his attack once more, he spoke aloud “metal splitter” The sword shifted and small metal fire spikes begun to come at me in rapid session. I put up demonic energy and burned them before they got to me. But I missed when he started to move the sword again and was once again pounded by sword I was flung toward the ground.

As my body was flung around I noticed, off the distance, the being of wisdom staring at me and then he winked and started to fly towards me. I landed and quickly put up a barrier and turned toward and tried to walk to meet the being but found I could not. He found me quickly but seemed to not be able to walk any close. Then a voice rang in my head

“Listen to me while you can, release it. You can’t win this fight with the power of the demon’s you have, so release it you damn fool. Your demon, the demon maiden that is within your head, if you listen to the power of these words, you will know how. Just do it and you can defend us,” A wall of flames appeared between us and no more voice rang in my head. However it was too late for the demon, I knew what he meant, I have heard a strange demon calling me, I thought it was just the side effect of collecting many demons in one body. I followed that voice in my head, and found a wall of demons blocking it. All of these demons had scales like I had not seen before, there was no slime on it, the demonic war paint now had a mist to it, sometimes lighting ran across the mist, running across the body. Sometimes small fire formed in the mist, staying there before disappearing.

I tried to use demonic energy, but it did not work. This was all in my head, other demons could not help me.

“Move you pathetic creatures, your master calls and I am telling you to move” I screamed in my head

Two demons, demons who held massive shields and resembled a humanoid-dragonkin, a dragon who stood on two feet and had the overall form of a human, moved away. Behind them was lines of the dragonkin demons in a line bowing, and I walked. When the line stopped darkness settled over me before a glowing eye settled upon me.

“Oh is my power going to be unleashed yet?” those eyes said

“It is time.”

I returned to my body, to feel the general sword hit me and lift up, before my body exploded in flames. The world shook and the ground crumbled inwards, as though I had crashed form space. My scales no longer had any slams, and a mist enveloped my body, my form had become that of a much more powerful demonic humanoid-dragonkin, the only ones I have seen were those in my mind. I had grow a tail, the light made it simmer revealing poison and detachable spikes, deadlier than any demon I had fought before this fight. My head became shaped like a dragon, and my wings had become dragon like, as well as forming a new smaller pair of wings on my tail. My arms had became more muscled and had scales more powerful and defensive than before, my hand becoming dragon claws. My chest became more muscled and now carried a new power, a power tied to dragons, instead of demons.

I stared at my new opponent, with my new green glowing eyes and without any thought cast five spells, powerful enough to have killed me four times over before this new transformation. My new spells, instant cast spells, sped at him at speeds I could not even fly before, though now I could do it with ease. The general desperately slashed but only destroyed two of the spell’s and the three that hit him made him go to his knees. I drew the power form my chest and fire, not demonic fire sprayed the demon before me.The demon beings started to collapse in on into self until nothing but ash was left of the demon.

As I flew back toward the rest battle a great pain filled my body and I roared as my body returned to the demon form I was in before I became a demon dragon. Most of the other demon’s were dead I sent some demonic flames towards the few remains I could see and then landed at the four being’s room.

The being of wisdom met me, and led me to a room with a room and a dresser in it. Without thinking I feel on the bed and lost myself to sleep.

By the time I awoke the battle was over, any loses were reborn, and a celebration had started, to the battle and to me. I went straight toward the four great being’s room.

“Welcome, demon maiden, please eat.” Skjold, the being of time said.

“I can’t,” I stopped as I saw that the food was neither mortal nor demon, “I guess it could not hurt.”

The food and drinks was sweet, and had a calming effect on the brain.

“I appreciate the food but what was that?” I asked, watching my tone to make it respectful.

“To what part of the battle?” Reheal, the being of the mind asked.

“Me, what am I?” I asked

“You are the demon maiden,” Hermund the being of wisdom said. “But I know that does not satisfy you, so let me explain. That was you, you may not have been a demon or a dragon, but what you have done, that is what you have created. That is your true form, the real you, a form of power and of beauty. However the reason your changed to your demon form, was the fact that you reject that body. You reject the title ‘demon maiden’ as though you can’t be with humans as a demon. Because of that you won’t be able to stay in that form, your true form, for any more than half a minute. You are just lucky then we lowered the demon’s power with our control on the world.”

“Enough of this, let me present you with a gift.” Skjold, the being of time interrupted. He brought a small necklace with a coin like object as the centerpiece of it. “You said you came here for power, you have discovered the wisdom of your own power. However if you still wish for power, then accept this gift. It will allow you to control your world, in a small area around you, as we control the world here.” And he handed me a necklace, with a small stone in it. It swirled with the primal elements.

I nodded thanked him, and cheered him with a drink and ate until late in the night. After the celebrations I went to bed, ready to set off for my home, whenever I awoke.
