Who is this guy? I thought as I wiped sweat from my forehead as my black hair stuck to my skin.

His black hair locks waved on the wind while he stood up, several thin trails of blood ran down on his arms and chest yet he still smiled. I winced as I felt my left arm's bruise.

"Mao-chan are you alright?" My friend, Sakura asked. She was breathing heavily and held the handle of her katana tightly.

"I'm fine Sakura," I told her and glared at the guy. Forming my magic around my katana and sent several slashes at the man.  He held his sword on one hand and used it to block my attack.

His sword is lighter and a bit shorter but it proved that his skills are the same as ours. Its blade is nothing compared to its initial form. The blade and the crossguard resembled a cross, on the pommel, a jewel is now on its place surrounded by claws, its black blade edged with silver contrasted nicely with its handle's dark gold accents and his emblem is engraved on top of the cross in the crossguard.

I admit that it was us that gave the first blow. We were both angry when he kicked the dog, I was angry and lost it. I tried to kill him and when I finally recovered, I was horrified. I just killed someone who didn't harm anyone. But, he surprised me when chains wrapped itself around my katana and I saw that it was connected to a handle in his hand. What amazing speed and reflexes. He also flirted with me... I think?  He was able to damage us when we fought and it seems like we pushed him enough. He used his large sword and used it. He was able to use such a large sword like that, I was impressed but sad shocked when he spoke Japanese. Now, that I look at him he does have Asian features.

He looked at us his sword now leaning on his back and a neutral look on his face. I let my sword change to a battle-ax decorated with skulls and spikes. If skill won't help me beat him then I'll use strength. I ran towards him but he skillfully blocked my heavy strikes and gave me some light cuts while he was stabbed in the arm by Sakura.

"you're good," he said only for us to find out that it was on a small part of the tip that stabbed him due to a chain that runs around his arm. He dashed towards me, and I readied my ax. Suddenly he jumped back and jumped from some of his summoned chains to gain distance. I looked and from where he was supposed to be in front of me stood someone I know very well.

A black hair tied in a ponytail wave gently in the wind, a loose haori draped on his shoulders,

"I don't know who you are, but if you think you can just attack my little sisters then your wrong," The man in front of us said.

"Taka-nii, be careful," I told him as my ax turned to a katana again and I now lost my gauntlets. Taka nodded at me and then went down a sword stance.

"It's a beautiful day today, the sun shines brightly, the wind blows gently," I heard Tala-nii said as I went to Sakura and I helped her up. Big brother already won this. "On days like these, people like us..." a shadow appeared in front of big brother,

"LOOK OUT!!!" Sakura shouted and the man did something again that shocked all of us

"SHOULD BE BURNING IN HELL," He said calmly as on his hand was a knife and was blocked by a katana.

"T-this speed and knife skills and those words..." I heard taka-nii said and then he grinned, pushing our attacker away and threw his cloak away and charged.

we watched as both of them danced, metal hit metal, blood was shed in every exchange yet they both have a happy smile on their faces. Big brother's sword skills were able to match the man's unpredictability with his sword and knife. 

"So you were summoned here as well huh, Falcon!" the man said calling my big brother his gamer name... no way! 

"And it seems like you too, right Welfin!" Sakura's brother said and they both charged at each other appearing with their backs facing the other as cuts appeared on their chests but were healed by a white light that surrounded both of them. 

"Ara Ara, You guys are getting messy," A new voice said and I turned around to see my BIg sister.

"Kao-nee!" I said smiling happily as Sakura and I hugged her.
________________________________________________________________________________

I smiled as while sitting down and leaning on my partner. I grabbed a sauce cup and sipped some of the sake that was given to me by my friend. I was now wearing a male version of a yukata that was a bit loose on my shoulders. Now, I feel like a Japanese warlord.

"Remember in the zombie bloodfest event?" I smiled, I remember that. I ran away so fast and came back with shotguns while swinging a machete wildly.

"Heh! I went wild that Time! I remember doing things that one won't do," I replied and held my cup with both hands and was filled again by the beautiful pink-haired girl beside me. Naturally, I nodded at her but she just ignored me.

I looked at my friend Taka and saw him laying his head on his girl's lap while she is stroking his hair. I felt the air get colder and felt something sharp poking my side. I looked at the black-haired girl by my other side with her katana out.

"Stop staring at my sister or I will poke your eyes out," She said to me calmly before sipping her own sake. sheesh, snobby much.

"Please if I would stare at anyone then I would rather stare at the both of you and pinkie, Blackie," I said while tilting my head to dodge a slash that nicked several strands of my hair. Smiling I grabbed her cup and quickly drank from it, ignoring her slightly reddening face.

"Why you?!" She tried to grab my neck but I kept her away using my foot. Ignoring her attempts in trying to grab my neck, I merely nodded to Pinkie and drank my sake.

"I'm sorry for my sister Ren-san," Taka's girl said and bowed to me, looking at the bastard I notice his grin and can't help but chuckle and sat down properly.

"It's alright miss Busho. Besides, I am having fun after all," I said truthfully and sat down properly. seeing me smile, I felt Taka looking at me happily and said something that surprised our female companions.

"You've changed a lot. When we play games when I went to your country you were always so reserved and timid but now," He looked at me and I noticed that I was no longer slouching, and I got more social.

"I don't believe you big brother," was his sister's soft reply as she offered me more sake but I refused.

"It's true... I also agree with you that Taka can't be trusted... sometimes," I replied to her and she looked at me, her eyes widening slightly and she looked at me while shaking.

"Y-you too?" She asked me and I nodded as I thought back to my... least trustworthy moments with Taka. I have half a mind to stab him now.

"Don't remind me... He made me sneak around while wearing a dog costume for shits and giggles... and that's not the worst thing!" I shouted and I can't help but feel hot all of a sudden. after hearing what I said, Pinkie suddenly chugged down a sauce cup full of sake in one go.

"That's right!" Pinkie shouted and grabbed my yukata's collar and pulled me closer to her. "Do you know how hard it is.. to live with someone like him?!" I can imagine that... that was unpleasant. I saw her face was now flushed red and I ignored it.

"I can imagine and it's something I don't want to experience!" I  shouted as I hugged the pink-haired girl beside me. She hugged me and we both cried, remembering the humiliation. 

"Please take me with you Ren-san! take Mao-chan with us too please!" She begged and suddenly the elder siblings looked shocked. Although for some reason they do look happy. I glared at Taka and took the pink-haired samurai on my arms.

"-hic- Very well then young maiden you wish is my command! -hic-" suddenly the pink-haired maiden giggled and I felt warm all over suddenly.

"Hey! put her down!" Blackie shouted and she jumped on my back and I can smell the alcohol on her too.

I laughed and put her on my other hand acted like a demon lord. "-hic- Very well! you two shall be mine," I smiled and suddenly both of the girls laughed happily along with the elder siblings as we both spent the night partying all night.

ow, my head!

I can't think of anything. head hurts so much. 

God, why is not my regeneration kicking in and healing me? 

I groaned and tried to focus my magic to try to flush out any trace of poison on my body. Scheisse! everything hurts! scheiß drauf! I opened my eyes and was thankful for the blinds covering the sunlight. 

God, please help me! I groaned and my body felt heavy. Damn! did I do a pillow cover again? I felt a small breeze run through my skin and warm breaths on my body. I feel like I was lying under the shade of a tree after finishing my training. This feels so good!

hmm, wait.

WAIT!

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a large room that was not mine. A beautiful and addicting scent suddenly assaulted my nose. The weight on my chest and the warm breathes on my skin. 

'Where the hell are you?! More importantly, where the fucking hell am I?' I shouted my thoughts to my sword and partner Warheit.

'...ZZZzzz'

"hmm... Mr. teddy so wuvvy cuddy" A groggy voice that sounds familiar.

"Noooo... Don't go..." Another familiar voice said.

I groaned and didn't see either Taka nor his girl either suddenly, I heard the sounds of skin hitting against skin and several moans of pleasure from the room next to us. I felt my face burn and cursed those people with girlfriends.

'Fucking normies go die in a hole. WWWRRRRYYYY'

sighing I ignored the sound and summoned several chains that were inscribed with writings and went back to sleep letting the two who were embracing me in each side snuggle to me.

'this feels nice.'

________________________________________________________________________________

I felt our connection.

it was only for a while but I was worried.

He was my partner but for me who knew him for far too long was worried.

I am an existence that can see, no can see is not the word, but rather I already experienced may different timelines with my master.

I was merely a tool given life to guide him, yet he did so much for him. I knew him so well.

The way he will sacrifice himself for his mission, his determination, his loyalty and more.

He gave me a name, yet ironically, no matter what, when, or how we meet, he always gives me the same name over and over again.

He always saves me, me, a tool for him. He looked at me like a brother, sacrificing his life for me.

This time, I won't let you get hurt anymore.

I turned to my favored form, my silver fur blending in the shadows of the room, my dull, lifeless eyes went sharp examining every move that was made.

I stared at my brother's body underneath a blanket. Oddly enough, there were two bulges one in each of his sides, I readied my body, fangs bared and claws out but stopped when I saw pink and black hair poking out of the blanket.

I smiled and remembered the very first time that we both traveled, We were both naive back then. We did not hold back, we became butchers for our mission yet at that timeline, despite your cold attitude and cynical point of view, you protected me and made sure I was safe by giving me to your student and surrogate little sister.

I watched as you grew despite being the same, this time, I will be the one that will save you, so rest now my brother, I will let you enjoy your life. I stalked outside the resort and run towards the places I know that will be pivotal to the upcoming war.

I don't care if I have to fight humans, monsters, dragons, demons, nor gods. If it is for you I will fight till the bitter end just like you did for me all this time. 

Howling on top of the mountain, I signaled the world of my determination. 

FEAR ME WORLD! I AM WAHRHEIT, THE DEVOURER OF LIFE! ALL MY MASTER'S ENEMIES FEAR ME FOR I WILL DEVOUR YOU!

________________________________________________________________________________

On a dimly lit room, a man whose face hiddden on the shadows, opens his eyes as sweat pours down slowly on his face.

"My lord are you alright?" A female voice said.

"I am alright. but just now I felt something..." He paused and stared at his arm as black flames started to flare wildly around it. "The anger, the hate, the sorrow on it. It feels like it was a warning from a being stronger than me." The female in front of him appeared concerned as she stood up. 

"MY LORD!" The gates of the hall were suddenly slammed open, and a messenger ran inside sweat pouring down his face.

"HOW dare you interrupt us!" The female shouted, her red hair flowed in the wind, black horns on the sides of her head, her dress fitting her body, highlighting her figure.

"Apologies lady Sitri! But there is an emergency," 

"What is it?" The man on the throne asked rather lazily.

"My lord, The vantage points in all of the dragon continent has been destroyed," The messenger said as the room suddenly felt heavy. "There were no survivors sir."

"I see." 

"My lord?" Suddenly black flames engulfed the messenger and his screams of pain resounded throughout the whole castle.

"Pull out any troops in that continent. Make sure that all remaining personnel that will go there will return. Call Conquest and Famine and tell them to start operation DOWNFALL," He said standing up, and it revealed a handsome face with silver-white hair.

"YES YOUR HIGHNESS" The soldiers standing on the halls suddenly disappeared into the shadows leaving only the woman and the man alone.

"So the guardians have noticed me huh? But it's strange, from my calculations it should have taken them a few more months to react."

"GOETIA!"

a growl echoed throughout the halls, filling it with bloodlust as a silhouette of a wolf appeared in the middle of the hall. 

"RUN AND HIDE LITTLE DEMON. RUN AND HIDE! I'm coming for you!"

And that is when he felt that feeling again in such a long time. FEAR.
