Chapter 2: My wife

Chapter 2: My wife

The next day.

The room in which I woke up in a room unusual to me. The room used soft and soothing greys and silvers floor colours to create a sparkling, luxurious feel. From a Modern crystal chandelier that dangled over the bed to a plush silvery grey carpet that practically begs for your bare feet, The cerulean-coloured wall that reminded you of the ocean, waking up in this bedroom would be like waking up inside a warm storm cloud. And now I am doing it.

The bed was soft and clean. It was fluffy It tickled my back. I just wanted to keep myself on the bed. But I had to wake up. When I woke up, I saw Rhine sleeping next to me again. This time wearing clothes. I thought that I had too much power.

I could do anything. I lost my control I tried grabbing her chest when she woke up. She was smiling at me with the same weird look yesterday when she grabbed my hand and forced it to her chest.

I was immune to it now when I had already seen them. I got up avoiding her. I don’t know how I ended up here. But it is obvious who bought me hear. Rhine was still sleeping in the bed now probably ignoring me. “Only if I knew how she felt I would act in a loving way to her, but I didn’t dare to ask her that. Instead, I started to walk away outside the room.

‘I am pretty sure that this was the same castle that Diablos asked me to give the blueprints, as he said he wanted to build it for his daughter’. In the end, I am walking in the castle which I and my best friend had one day imagined.

“Seriously, I am spending my vacation trying to decide whether will marry or not, that is redisclosed” I was talking to myself as I was walking through the hallway. I recalled the moments of the past day which I spend with Rhine for some reason.

I was thinking that I may marry her in the future. ‘Outside she is just the perfect woman, the one who cares for others and keeps her words but when you spend one day with her you know that she’s not the person who you think she is. She is clumsy and doesn’t care what people think about her, she is direct with her feelings and is pampered. Which is out of my league. In reality, I hate a female of her personality, but for some reason, it doesn’t matter to me. And the end she probably even has a pervy side to her,’ ‘Why I am having feelings that I may end up accepting Diablos’ marriage proposal’

After what happened yesterday and the Rhine actions that the Rhine performed, I can’t get to know her figure.

“I see you are the faithful man”, A Young man who had blue hair and eyes with fair skin approached me. His outfit consists of a black coat with a white-coloured lining, coupled with a dark blue blazer and a white shirt underneath it. He was wearing a set of black pants and held a scabbard in his belt.

I turned towards him, “Sorry but do I know who you are”, ‘ah’ he knows who I am, that’s awkward. I know that most of the members of RA know who I am and respect me a lot. But they never approach me directly to greet me. “Well, there is no way you know who I am in this state”. ‘He looks so similar to Rhine; he is probably her brother’

“Ahaus, this may help, ‘The golden demonic form leaps into me, Alvis!!!! the dominator and overlord itself the Holic Demon Knight’ ” When I heard it. He grew long blond hairs from his black hairs replacing them. His eyes black eyes turned blue. four sharp teeth grew from his jaws. He was the HOLIC DEMON KNIGHT!!!

“I see, ‘I who shall be awakened I am the self-dragon who lost to the principle of domination. I envy the infinity and the nearness of death; I am who shall be awakened. I am the demonic self-dragon of destruction. Dragonborn!!!!!!”

My skin started to turn a faint blue while I cast one of my best and the biggest trump card, while my arms and legs started to grow dragon scales. My hair became 5 times longer and turned blue. My teeth became sharper my ears became pointed. Under them, mana was crystalised taking the form of 3 feathers

My transformation spells my most powerful state at my basic state. With berserker, I am even able to go against a great ace.

Our transformations forced each other’s to make distance from each other. “The self-dragon of destruction here I come, ‘Hakai Slash.’ ” He came charging at me with the full force he took out his sword,  it glowed golden as he was about to strike me, He was as fast as one could be. He was as strong as any ACE. “Dragon Claw” Golden sharp long pointed claws emerged between my knuckles and ankle. I Just them to block the sword slash attack by him.

‘Dragon Claw’ is a spell used by Dragonborn. It is a spell which can act as a melee weapon. The claws which were formed were strong as adamantine swords or stronger.

My magic spell claws and this enhanced sword clash against each other both on the side trying to overpower each other. Sparks let out as we tried to battle and come out victorious.

“You are pretty strong now, Holic demon”, “Don’t call me that, flying human lizard”

‘Flying human lizard???, what do you think. Working for 4 years on one mission doesn’t allow you to call me that’

We leapt against each other both exchanging sides and striking their left and right sides respectively. I was enjoying this fight but he called me Flying human lizard had me angered and had danged my pride as a dragon born.

We kept slashing each other again and again. He tried to attack me on my shoulder legs and chest reputedly, but I was easily able to block with my dragon claws. I went on offence and kept slashing him again and again on his hands and chest.

He was blocking my strikes effortlessly. The material of the sword he used started to wear off as he kept clashing with my dragon claws. In an instant, my claws started to become weak and soft. On Impact to the sword know they were bursting to fine friary shards. It was as if I was manipulating hot partially metaled iron into a war sword.

I took the incitive to draw back my spell claw, he did the same. At this point, I could imagine what he would be doing.

‘The Self dragon of destruction there is no escaping now’

I started gathering mana from my surroundings and infused it into an orb-like structure. The orb turn somewhat of a purply-pink which indicated it was ready to unleash, outside it looked just like a normal lesser version of Dragon Nova, but this was my own dragon art spell, Dragon Brust. Just like Dragon nova but instead of going in a straight line, it scatters itself into fine particle rays finally converging at one spot and then blowing up.

It took me a couple of seconds to come up with the spell while I was doing this. My opponent started to accumulate his mana from his body and successfully managed to form a hundred pure light swords after him.

‘Using thousands of hands of gold swords’ in a single command of his hands he could demolish me as my defences were already low.

‘Using a Dragon nova in a small space, how stupid are you, the self-dragon of destruction’

“To be true I have rarely used this spell, I hope you will not die, it would be a shame to lose a worthy opponent”

“As I would” He does not understand me or does he.

The hallway started to get dim as we were about to unleash are spells.

“Dragon Brust”

“Thousands of hands of Golden swords”

My orb was about to burst and his light swords were about to advance.

“Stop it!!!”

We heard a familiar sound raging from the other side of the hallway from where I was standing It was indeed Rhine’s voice that I heard. This was the first time I heard her screaming in that way it sounded as if she was pledging. In the mite of battle, I had forgotten that Rhine was just a few meters away from us. In the room across the hallway.

The disturbance in mana flow must have been dictated by her. My spell was meant to be used outdoors but without any preparations or HD magic barrier spell using it would destroy the entire hallway if not the entire castle killing every non-Ra member near it. The light swords cast would surely kill any Ra member in sight as I would just avoid them and the homing effect would be re-use on the other life force.

Rhine approach us and was in a state of shock. She was cold to her toes. She wasn’t able to open her mouth seeing the Holic demon knight beside me.

Rhine grabbed me and started whispering in my ears. “Are you gone out of your mind”, “I don’t know, well it is my fault that I was about to cast in but. Still”, “No, not that. Do you know who were you fighting against?”

“Off Couse” I turned towards my opposition and called him. “Yo, check what Rhine is saying do I know who I am fighting”

At this rate, I already thought that he knew Rhine. If not then there was an option that Rhine is his sister or he is the one to replace her as the administrator of this realm.

“He is Kartos, my fellow ACE friend. We fought in the realm of Avatars for 4 years.”, “I know that” Rhine screamed in a childe’s manner. She shuttered behind me peeking by my back.

I looked at her when Kartos, the Holic demon Knight came towards me. We Shook our hands as remembered our times.

“Rhine good time seeing you, she glanced unto him. “Yeah” It was out of the matter that it was weird. Rhine has a childish personality with pampering also sometimes acting like an adult. She was now behind me crowding. He looked at me saying “It’s a surprise that you know Rhine, my younger sister”,

“Isn’t it obvious that I would know my Fiancé, wait”

I was in shock. That my trusty good old friend and rival is the brother of my fiancé. I couldn’t hold it. I looked at Rhine with a fear simile, whispering in her ears. “What the hell shall I do”

“Just do whatever you want”, “seriously!!!”

“So, Ascais can you explain something to me”, “No, it’s not like I want to or something” Kartos had a purple aura surrounding him. Encircling into a web prior to animation and death I was obstructor and felt my legs were cut off from my body, as he approach even closer to me, I was scared and couldn’t do anything. I was about to kneel and was going to ask him forgiveness so that he would not kill me.

In terms of strength, Kartos is like a bully. He has bested me in each and every part and he even looks way better than me.

As I was about to do it. Rhine stood up in front of me. She looked scared her legs were trembling. She open-ended her mouth.

“Onii-sama, please don’t hurt him. You may have something against each other but still, I, love him, He is my fiancé and a wonderful person. He has really good achievements and loves me the same. I fell in love with him as soon as I met him”

“Huh” I was speechless at what I had heard. On the other hand, Kartos had moved a few steps behind.

The little sister I knew feared me just as for my sight, but this time. “Rhine, what do you think. Father had already told me what he was up to. I am just a bit surprised seeing him as your fiancé. Ascais and I were really good comrades at arms. We just love to dual others, as for him he is just jealous of me”

‘Huh, what do you think of me Kartos’

“Father told me that you were going to marry someone, seeing the someone” He had a glance “I don’t think that there is anything is wrong, A person who has a good personality who loves RA and takes the best care of everyone. Good luck with your new life I hope that you take care of it”

“Onii-Sama” Rhine had sparkles in her eyes as she was a loyal flower for him. Only blooming for him and only him.

Kratos looked at me as he left for his room. According to the Rhine, he was the one who was going to replace her in administrating the Pharos realm. It is really weird seeing a frontline ACE in inland realms. I just hope that everything is going to be good.

When I had a glance at Rhine, her face was the blush of roses that peek champagne pink. The colour infused her cheeks dimpled with the blossoming shy smile and her eyes shone in a way that only deep happiness can bring.

“Stop looking at me Ascais.”, I turned around and realised just how cute was she. “Ah, what did you say to Kartos that was a lie wasn’t it”

Rhine launched at me rushing and sitting on my shoulders she blinded me with her arms shyly saying. “It wasn’t a lie”

My mouth was open wide. I found it very difficult to look at her or keep my mouth shut. “HAHAHAHAHAH, you”

“Seriously shut up” She was angry with me but the way she spoke it just felt so nursing. A relationship in which we are hoping for the best that someday this forced relationship may look natural at least enough for convincing people. I just hope that I can spend some days relaxing without thinking that the relationship between Rhine and me was just forced on me.

Just imagine that the most precious thing that you are in is just all for an order which was given to you by a person who barely knew you outside your job.
