Chapter 109 - Second Year Part 9

DEMONWORLD TOWER BOSS END Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 4, Boss Area: Top Floor

Laharl he started circuling around the downed Guardian Boss. As the Guardian was standing back up from the onslaught its suffered. When the Boss realized that Laharl was kicking up a large amount wind. Creating a large, and powerful gust. Eventually lifting the Guardian off the floor, being airborne. As Laharl increases speed and wind, when he slashed the Boss on the back with a powerful, fast wind and cursed flame coated slash. The Boss crashed hard, onto the floor, as Laharl slashed with another wind and cursed flames in the front of the Guardian. A powerful Hurricane Slash. As Laharl lands on the floor smoothly. He retracted his wings, and reverting his scarf back to its normal state. Using Flare-Up a couple times, igniting his Vritra Zanbato in greater amounts of cursed flames. Rising his sword high, he flashes forward using a Blade Rush on the Boss. Causing considerable amounts of damage, as Ranko followed up Laharl's attack, using Metsu Hadoken. Charging a large amount of ki and demonic power into a huge, blue fireball projectile. Blasting the Metsu Hadoken at the Boss.

Hitting the Guardian on the chest. Smashing the Boss onto the side wall, crushing some jack-o-lanterns around the chamber. It was clearly this Boss was highly durable, and has a lot of vitality. Since it was still alive, after all those attacks and techniques used on it. Slowly the Guardian got up to the it's feet. Clearly eager to keep fighting, Kneesocks rushed in to attack the Boss, as the Boss used Flame Bullet, swinging its right spike-arm to shoot several fiery projectiles at Kneesocks. She zigzags, dodging the fire projectiles, as she'd closed the distance. Kneesocks, she started slashing away at the Guardian, following her assault with her Luscious Grand Flash. Making her scythe massive, wielding it over her right shoulder. Using both her arms to swing the scythe blasting a cresent pinkish-magenta wave at the Boss, once the wave connects, the Guardian grunts in pain. As she sent another wave in a vertical swing, causing a huge magical explosion between the collision between the waves. Knocking the Boss back onto the wall. Caulifla attack next.

Caulifla, she charges her demonic power and ki, firing a stream of powerful red ki wave at her opponent. This wave is the Burst of Energy technique. Causing a lot damage, continuing to smashed the Boss onto the wall, as a continuously causing damage. Laharl, he banishes his Vritra Zanbato, as he channels a huge amounts of demonic energy. Rising his arms, creating a multiple huge spheres of hellfire energy, as Laharl was about to unleash his Overlord's Wrath onto the Boss, taking it out once and for all. With a smirk, he told Caulifla to back off, she nodded cut her attack and flying away. Leaving the Guardian wide open. Laharl, he swiped down his arms, unleashing the Overlord's Wrath onto the Boss, as several balls of destructive hellfire, crash onto the Boss and huge fiery explosion consuming the Boss. And finally taking it out. Laharl, walked over the body of the Boss, and stretched out his scarf wrapping the Boss entirely. Storing the Guardian, this by far has been the largest monster that they'd taken down, and stored to sell later. As the exp-drops appear. A vast a amount of red, yellow, white, and purple exp. Quite a hull, as Laharl and the girls walked over and absorbed all the exp-drops, several of them managing to level-up their stats, from the amount and power behind these exp-drops. With that the Demonworld Tower was conquered, as a light blue and white ring, waypoint appeared at the end of the path where the Guardian, first emerged from. Still eager to hunt and maybe even conquer the Catacomb Dungeon, once and for all. They went onto the waypoint to go to the next area.

FINAL CATACOMB AREA Location the Catacomb Dungeon Area 5

After teleporting to the new and final area of the Catacomb Dungeon. Laharl and the girls watched the massive dark castle, with a long path leading to the castle. He recognized the castle, as Grimoire Castle dungeon from Atelier Iris 3...seriously, Laharl felt nostalgia. This is one of the altelier best games, next to Ar Tonelico, and Mana Khemia games. Laharl, he recalled his massive sword and they'd started walking down the path to enter the Grimoire Castle. It was a rundown, huge medieval castle with a dark ting to it. As they'd traverse the paths. Passing debris and ruined red drapes and curtains, they came up to their first monsters in this area. A bunch of huge, hard shell worm monster, known as Caterpillars have emerged. Daki immediately attacked, and slashed apart the bugs. Clearly not liking bugs, the caterpillars...which were still in tact were stored by Laharl. As the Caterpillars, left behind blue exp, this helps Morrigan as she'd easily level-up her stats. This dungeon dive, have been greatly beneficial, all of them growing stronger. As they'd proceed...and unfortunately facing more Caterpillars, that faced Daki's merciless wrath. Well at least they'd gained a lot of blue exp.

Continuing on. Laharl and the girls found a group of Red Punis...the iconic puni from the Atelier universe only red in color, and a greenish Heal Puni in the middle of the red punis. Raven and Morrigan make short work on these "punis" he'd never understood why Gust, doesn't just call them slimes...regardless. Morrigan rushed in. Turning her wings into stabbing spears, and swinging chained pendulums, while Raven she'd attacked with magic. Creating stone spikes, impaling all the monsters. In the end the punis, disintegrated onto the old, castle, stone floor. Leaving behind yellow, orange, and green exp. They'd absorb them, and continue on. Fighting and killing more Caterpillars and Punis, for a while. Until they walked through the path next to many window, giving view of the dark environment around the Castle Grimoire. As they heard wing flapping approaching them. Laharl recognized the new monster, as Shadowgirls which are a light violet haired, bat-type harpies. A few of them have appeared, along with a eye-ball guard, demonic, floating living sword. A monster known as a Vorpal Sword. Caulifla, Ranko, Raven, and Mizore attacked from long range. Shooting ki-blasts, hadokens, black fireballs, and sharp icicles at the shadowgirls, quickly taking the bat-type harpies.

While Albedo she'd handled the Vorpal Sword. Ignoring all the slashes from the sword monster. Her defenses vastly greater, than the Vorpal Sword's power. With a wicked smile, she'd smashed her poleaxe with soo much force that she'd snaps the monster in half. A one-hit kill. As the shadowgirls gave cyan, blue, and green exp, while the vorpal sword gave red, cyan, and blue exp-drops. Greatly enhancing and level-up almost everyone's accuracy stat. Laharl stored away the monster bodies. They teamwork, power, and numbers are making this area easier, especially when it clear that they're too overleveled for the Catacomb Dungeon now. Morrigan and Daki gave Laharl a quick kiss, as they smile and continued going deeper to the Grimoire Castle. The monsters are in a large number, as more, and more punis, caterpillars, shadowgirls, and vorpal swords. After navigating the Grimoire Castle, climbing a couple of floor, and killing nearly hundreds of monsters...mostly punis...Laharl and the girls were getting tired. Not physically, but in mood, with exception of Morrigan, Caulifla, Ranko, who were exhausted. As they are the newest at this level of dungeon diving. So for now they'll go back home, Laharl, he thought that Sesshomaru will love being able to go deeper into the dungeon. The Laharl peerage, starts to make their way back to the exit of both the Grimoire Castle and the Catacomb Dungeon.

EXAM WEEK BREAK Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Kuoh Academy, Class B-3

Been a while since the latest dungeon dive. Currently, Laharl, Albedo, Mizore, Nero, Setsuna, Daki, Kyoko, Ruby, Cerberus, Kneesocks, Raven, Ranko, Caulifla, and Morrigan were in the classroom. Relaxing as it was exam week, having already taken and passed the tests on the first day. Even Ranko and Caulifla while being first years, they'd also taken the exam. And now they're hanging around the second year classroom. Passing time, before they go do anything else around the town. And only cause Sona asked them to do so...with Rias jumping in, and inserting herself in the after party of completing that day of exams. He and the girls sighed at Rias' meddling. But Sona asked them soo they'll be passing time, doing random thing around the classroom. Daki was painting her nails. Albedo, Kyoko, Kneesocks, Raven, Ruby, Caulifla, and Morrigan were reading either a book or manga. Cerberus were playing Mario 64-DS version together. Nero and Setsuna were listening to music on their headphones, Nero listening to Apocalypica, while Setsuna was listening to Fukai Mori from Inuyasha...kinda ironic, but it was great anime song. While Laharl he was playing on his PSP, GOW: Ghost of Sparta.

All while their friends Ruruko, Tomoe, Katase, Murayama, Ranma, Tsubaki, Kiba, Akeno, Tsubasa, Momo, Shampoo, Reya, Kaori, Towa, Ukyo, Kodachi...and Rias. To be done with their tests. Laharl, he has suggested to his girl, Sona, to make the same deal that he'd made with the faculty. In order to avoid all the hassle. But Rias would bitch and rant that they're not embracing the student life to its fullest...it took a long while of discussion. To get Rias stop annoying him and the girls about changing their deal of taking all the test earlier than supposed to. As Laharl was beating the Piraeus Lion in the Jails of Sparta area of the game. When he'd received a call from Sona, telling him the test were done. Pausing and putting his PSP on standby, he told the girls that they'd can finally leave. Making them happy, as they put away their stuff, and went out the classroom. As they were joined by all their fellow devils in the academy, they decided to go to the mall and have some fun. To celebrate the end of the first day of tests in exam week.

Location Kuoh Town, Mall: Cafeteria The teen devils headed to the mall. While on the way to the mall, they'd pick up, little Koneko to join them. Laharl giving the girls along with Sona and her peerage money to buy stuff. Making the girls very excited. As he'd jokingly told Kiba and Ranma, "Get ready to be pack mules." making his friends sigh in desperation. He noticed the girls, heading into a high brand, and sexy lingerie store. With the exception of Towa, she'd went anothed store, since she doesn't have a significant other. Koneko, went back to the guys, thinking the girls were way too ecchi for her taste. Laharl, wanting to lighten the mood of his best friends, he told them, "Seems like the girls wanted to buy, something special for us." gaining the attention of Ranma and Kiba, as they saw where Laharl was pointing towards, while Koneko has a small blush in her face. And the guys they'd blushed, deep red. This made Laharl, laugh as he suggested that they go to video game or movie store, find something worth their time. Agreeing with the young Bael heir, following him to check some Japanese movies and games, that Laharl has never played before. Later they'd meet at the Cafeteria, with the girls utterly satisfied with their shopping spree. Especially Daki, Morrigan, Caulifla, and Rias...while Sona was a bit flustered, when the Sitri heiress came out the lingerie store. She'd hid her bag from her boyfriend, while the girls in her peerage giggled and made subtle comments to Laharl, making her more fluster, and beet red on the face.

Laharl, he already knows that Sona bought some naughty underwear. Seems that Sona wants to go into the next level of their relationship. And from what Ranma's girls are hinting to the young master of the Anything Goes Style, they also were ready. Hope Ranma enjoys himself, since aside him, Issei is the only virgin in their guys group. With his traumas with Raynare, it took Xenovia, Rossweisse, and Rias, along with other girls, many years to get over his trauma. But now the girls in the Red Dragon Emperor harem, have a long time of a dry spell, until the protag is ready. Koneko, caught Laharl's attention offering him a sip of her drink, thanking the nekoshou-devil, as they'd enjoyed the burger and pizza lunch that they'd orderer, in order to celebrate the end of the first day of exam week.
