Nine Tailed System 115 I'm a statue...

Marco: Jesus… This place is more fucked up than Billy's gambling abilities…

Alice: The clear air feels nice. Ahh, my birthplace is the best.

She said with a smile on her face, breathing the air of her own home, far away from there were mountains, dead trees, and some cracks on the wasteland in front of them.

Alice: Anyway… We have to go on the ground from here. Riding on Diane would make us stand out way too much, and you should be careful when you use the Chakra Gate, you may be easily found.

Marco nodded and Alice turned to Diane.

Alice: You are currently free of doing whatever you want, I'll call you in future…

Diane: Kweh!

Diane let out a happy cry, then takes off into the air.

Marco: So… If I remember correctly, we should be at south of the continent, right?

Alice: Yes, right now we're at the southernmost tip of the continent. If we head straight north, we should reach the Monster Lord's castle in a few days. But… I think you have already other plans…

Marco: Yes, are there other places other than Remina and your castle? 'Right now the Sealed Sinner's Prison should be unknown from Luka, so I should keep quiet about it for now…'

Alice: Yes, there is the Sealed Sinner's Prison at east. In this continent there isn't any village because the monsters are too strong to be grouped together without someone stronger than them.

Marco: I understand, where do you want to go?

Alice: ...Remina…

Marco: Alright, we will go there, then at the Prison, and for the cherry on the cake, the Monster Lord's Castle… Then I will have almost seen every place…

Alice: If I remember correctly, you mentioned the Navel of the World…

Marco: Yep, however we will be forced to go there in the future, if nothing is wrong.

Alice raised an eyebrow before shrugging, and then vanished…

Marco: ...Shit…

He turned around, and felt a shadow over the area around him, the earth around him was trembling, and Marco finally saw the monster threatening him.

It was a giant… Something? She had the body of a colossal dark blue dragon, it was as big as a small mountain, she had a long neck and a human face, on her back, there was a small forest, she had giant red eyes and a pair of curved horns from her forehead.

It looked more like a dinosaur than a dragon, and he forgot the name of this thing… It was Kyouru, or Koyruu… He doesn't remember. Too complex…

Marco froze on his spot, not for fear, but for a plan in his mind…

Marco: 'Don't move… I hope the movies were useful…'

The dragon thing looked at him, as if she was analyzing him.

Kyoryuu: ...….?

Marco: 'Thanks god she is dumb as fuck… If I be like a statue, then she will see me as one…'

Kyoryuu: ...Human…?

Marco: ...No, I am a statue…

Kyoryuu: ...Statue…

Then she looked disinterested and left, when she was far enough, Marco sighed in relief, it really works with stupid creatures… Even though he could beat her if he uses a Fire style: Bijuudama and Chakra Gate at his 100%, he would not risk his ass for a "Could".

The less attention he gains on himself, the better it is…

Alice slithered back to Marco and said.

Alice: You are lucky she was an idiot, otherwise she would really bite you…

Marco: I don't want to attract attention, this is the only place where using the Kurama Gate is really necessary, and using that could attract bad things… Let's go to Remina.

Alice nodded and followed Marco to Remina, they encountered random monsters, but Marco was able to hide away either behind some stones or in their blind spots, and proceeded to Remina.

When they reached the place, they saw ruins everywhere, the vegetation was more present than before, and already took everything, covering stones with leaves. Toppled buildings and stone strewn were all over the place, there were even bones…

Marco: ...Are you sure that there won't be any undead? Like a Dracolich or something?

Alice: Don't worry, I don't sense anything like that, and what is a Dracolich?

Marco: ..Just something I learned about years ago, a magical skeletal dragon with much intelligence… Still, this place is completely destroyed, if I wasn't in Remina I would think we were in Hiroshima during the World War 2…

Alice: I don't know what you are talking about, but it seems like they were trying to erase the city itself. Just who did this…?

Marco: ...There are some things that don't coincide… It wasn't a human or a monster… There are strange Chimera monsters around the world…

Alice: Do you think they are connected? That those strange monsters are the responsible of everything?

Marco: Yes… And I am sure this doesn't end here… There is this "Black Alice"... 'Maybe she will understand some things now…'

Alice: You are right… There is something wrong with everything… Let's go around.

Marco nodded and both of them walked to the path that looked like it was once the main street of the town.

Marco: Too many bones… Monster and human bones...

A shock-like feeling came to his mind all too suddenly, and pushed Alice away while turning into the Chakra Gate and used Gnome's powers, the next moment, a strange monster tackled him, however Marco stood on his feet and gritted his teeth.

He was pushed back a dozen of meters away from his previous place, however he managed to stop the Chimera monster that attacked him.

A chakra limb came out from his left side and grabbed the hilt of his sword at his right side, before pulling out the sword and cutting an appendix of the monster, which was revealed to be multiple tongues.

The monster backed away, and Marco was able to observe her, she was on her 4 limbs, like a dog, she had human skin on her face, neck, chest and abdomen, but instead of abdomen, she had 3 more pairs of breasts.

She had human forearms which ended in a blue lion's limbs, her back, ass and tights were covered in blue fur, she had a pair of black wings on her back and had lizard limbs on her back, she had a purple dragon-like tail that ended in something that looked like an onahole.

It seems that she had around 4 or 5 long tongues before he cut them off, on her forehead there were two horns, one was like the one of the giant dragon he found before, and the other looked like a deer's horn, she had knife ears and heterochromic eyes.

The true definition of "Chimera" was currently in front of Marco.

Alice: ...I don't recognize this monster…

Chimera Beast: Human… Monster… Eliminate…

The Chimera Beast kicks the ground and Marco grabbed the sword with his right hand, before using Daystar once again, however, this time he used Serene Mind too.

*Ding*

*Serene Mind activated, duration: 1:40*

When the Chimera Beast was in front of Marco, he immediately moved like a leaf and moved behind her, turning his back on her, the Chimera Beast stopped and turned around, before rushing again towards Marco.

Alice: Mar-

Marco: Shhhh...

Marco just put the sword back on his sheath, and when the sound of the sheath and sword colliding came on everyone's ears, the Chimera Beast's head fell.

Marco smiled and closed his eyes.

Marco: Finally I was able to do it…

Alice: ...Did you create this scene just to satisfy your urges?

Marco: Eeeeyup, now let's run…

Alice: Huh?

Another couple of Chimera Beasts rushed out from buildings, and turned towards Marco and Alice.

Marco grabbed Alice and runned away with Sylph.

Marco: Hey, Alice, can you let me satisfy another urge?

Alice: ...How much time you need?

Marco: 10 minutes…

Alice: No. Even if you would make a meteor fall from the sky, I will not wait for so long.

Marco: ...It was exactly what I wanted to do...

Alice: …

Marco: ...

Alice: ...Let's go away, I already got enough informations…

Marco: Alright, just because I can't create a meteor in the middle of a fight… 'And I wanted to try to be like Madara…'

Then Marco jumped on the buildings and escaped from the Chimera Beasts, some time later he got out from the town, and let down Alice.

She dusted herself and said.

Alice: ...Thank you…

Marco: Don't worry. Now let's go to the Sealed Sinner's Priso-

?: Human… Monster… Eliminate…

Marco: ...

He turned around and found a dozen of Chimera Beasts going towards him. He was really exhausted with this shit, there are always a monster to annoy him…

Marco: God-fucking-dammit!

He looked on the sky and yelled with an exasperated tone.

Marco: If Ilias is hearing me… May she strike me down where I stand!

*BOOM*

A lightning came down from the sky and cleanly hit Marco, Alice put her arms in front of her eyes to avoid getting blinded, and when the lightning disappeared, a smokescreen was raised.

And from that smokescreen, multiple lightnings shot out, hitting the Chimera Beasts and stunned them, before a larger lightning burned them to a crisp.

The smokescreen soon vanished, and revealed 2 figures… One was Marco, unharmed, the other was a woman with pure white hair, pale skin, and blue eyes, she was completely naked and looked like 20 years old.

Her hair stretched to her back, her blue eyes left out a trail of light whenever she moved them, and her body crackled with electricity.

?: Hey!

She turned around with a joyous expression to Marco, surprising him and Alice.
