Nine Tailed System 116 The Thunder Empress

Marco: Alright, now give me 3 pots of gold!

...However nothing happened this time… Marco clicked his tongue and turned towards the mysterious girl.

Marco: So… You should be Lily.

Lily: Yes, I am Lily, also known as the Thunder Empress, I noticed that you had all 4 the other spirits, and when you were yelling, I thought about "Why not visiting the other 4?", and here I am.

It was a while since the other 4 were together, unfortunately Heinrich directly got to the Monster Lord's castle instead of finding me…

So… What's your name?

Marco: I'm Marc-

Sylph: LILY!!

Marco jumped out from the sudden voice, before he realized that it was Sylph.

Her voice came from Marco's head, but everyone was able to hear it.

Lily: Hey Syl! It was a while since we last seen each other.

Sylph: Mhh! Hey hey, can you join us?

Lily: Well, I wanted to ask about it. So… Mark?

Marco: Marco.

Lily: Marco… Do you have more space for me?

Marco: Huh? No test?

Lily: You already getting the other 4 spirits is the proof I need to acknowledge you.

Marco: ...Okay… It is a bit anticlimactic, but alright…

Lily: Yay!

Then she vanished in white particles that entered Marco's body, and then, a message he would never think to hear appeared.

*Ding*

*Congratulations for Host to obtain the Special Enchantment: Lightning Manipulation.*

*Fusing with Support Feature…*

*Host will be able to fuse Lightning in the Nine Tailed Chakra Gates to increase his reflexes and speed.*

*Ding*

*Congratulations for Host to collect all the five main Elemental Manipulation, Host can use the special ability: Juubi dama.*

Marco: 'I can do what?!'

Then Lily's voice was heard from his head.

Lily: What a big room…

Sylph: She's here! Heeeeey!

Gnome: …

Undine: Hello.

Salamander: Nice to see you again!

Lily: Hey girls! So, Marco, with me, you can increase your reflexes and speed to a lightning speed, it is faster than the wind's speed, but you can't turn around normally, so be careful when you use my powers.

Marco nodded, before he pinched with his fingers and separated them again, revealing a small lightning.

Marco: Neat.

Marco closed his fist and opened it, feeling his new powers.

Marco: I wonder…

Marco clapped, before he extended his arms at his sides, revealing a big lightning bouncing between his palms.

Marco: Good Lord, call me Zeus!

Alice: Uhhh… Marco…

Marco: …

Alice: *Sigh* ...Zeus.

Marco: Yes?

Alice: We should go before we attract more Chimera Beasts.

Marco: Oh right. Well, this power is really easy to control.

Lily: Obviously, you have already a control on the other elements never seen before, and your willpower is really impressing! It's obvious you could easily master the Lightning.

Marco nodded and smiled.

Marco: Let's go to the Sealed Sinner's Prison now.

Alice nodded in agreement and slithered beside him to the next destination.

They started heading to the Sealed Sinner's Prison, it wasn't that far, maybe they would reach there at night, which is a bit dangerous going out under the darkness, so they just got far away from Remina and set up a camp.

When Alice finished eating, she spoke.

Alice: This is the last camping…

Marco: …

He didn't say anything because he knew the truth.

Alice: Anything on your mind?

Marco: Yeah, but I'll keep quiet… You will be surprised, however when you reach your castle, give the order to be in alert.

Alice: Why?

Marco: I told you, you will be surprised.

Alice sighed, she knew she won't be able to force him to say much, she was getting a bit suspicious when he used Daystar, even if she didn't recognized the signature attack of Lucifina, she knew that she never taught it to him, and never seen him use it until he had the katana.

He already told her about the bijuudama, which in her opinion something like that should be a secret, she really appreciated that he told her about it, even if he didn't say anything, she stood with him long enough to understand that it is a fatal information.

Alice: 'How much does he know…'

This was a question that was bugging her, and it made things worse when she found out that everything would be understood at her own castle, making her a bit impatient.

However, if he didn't said anything, it means that he gave her a white paper about how to help him, and she would use a method that Marco would never think about… Based on her own knowledge.

Marco had an idea about what she wanted to do at the castle to 'help' with the coexistence, and entrusting him with the Quadruple Giga was a sign about her own solution.

If he said anything about what Alice herself should do, then the plan may fail, which was going along with the plot and change some things that won't give him problems with the knowledge of the future.

But unlike the plot, he will have to employ a safer method to solve a part of the problem, first of all, he would make the Heavenly Knights surrender without really damaging them, and he will be sure that Alice would be unharmed, so that they won't be tired when the real problem will start, and will be able to fight back better.

Then he will check at Illias Village for things, and hopefully help more people than the ones that were saved in the game, and everything else will be planified later.

In the original dimension, Luka was weaker than before because he had only the spirits, which were temporarily sealed later.

But Marco was confident that he can be still strong thanks to the Nine Tailed System, the only problem is his personal strength, he is still unable to access the Bijuu Gate, which requires an incredible amount of willpower to use it. So, he had another plan, immediately attacking the problem instead of letting it grow…

The Juubi dama would assure him that he is able to take out the problem before it gets too dangerous, hopefully… He hopes it won't have any stupid cooldown, because a fist sized Juubi dama won't be surely enough… No, wait…

Marco: 'Tch… Alice would be caught in…'

It seems that the plan already failed, it is certain that a big Juubi dama will solve everything, but there is a possibility that not only Alice, but even he himself would die from the explosion it could cause, probably even the entire north of Hellgondo would disappear...

Alice noticed the frown on Marco's face and asked.

Alice: There is a problem?

Marco: No… Just thinking… Tomorrow is the day…

Alice: About the end of the journey, the problem, or start of the coexistence?

Marco: Yes.

Alice raised an eyebrow before sighing.

Alice: Well, good night Marco.

Marco: Good night…

Then Marco entered in his tent and started to sleep, while Alice coiled around a tree like she did every night.

[Tomorrow]

Marco and Alice woke up, and started their journey to the Sealed Sinner's Prison, however Marco isn't that lucky anymore, like yesterday, and got noticed from the first monster he saw.

The monster had purple skin, she had short blue hair, she was humanoid and was wearing a black dress.

The chest part of her dress was ripped off, revealing her breasts that were almost naked, if it wasn't for the white bra. She was a vampire.

Vampire: How unusual, a human is wandering around on this continent… Even more, he looks so tasty… Hehe.

Marco: Well… I could test Lily…

Vampire: Hehe… Do you want me to suck your blood? Or would you rather I suck your semen? If you desire, I can even suck both… I can suck out both your blood and semen until you're dry…

Marco grinned and used the Chakra Gate, covering himself in golden aura, then he stomped on the ground and lightning came out from his foot, covering his entire body, his eyes turned from red to blue.

Marco: Well, time to test this…

Marco crouched down, and disappeared, the vampire was surprised, and looked around, she found Marco behind him and turned towards him, however, she noticed that a part of her sight vanished, she put an hand where her left eye should be…

But there was only ashes, the vampire frowned and looked at Marco's lightning that came out from the katana in his hand.

He used Flash Kill and the Lightning that Lily talked about, reaching a speed and attack power never seen before.

The vampire started glowing, speechlessly from underestimating someone like him, and turned into a bat.

If she was going serious the entire time, she could have a possibility to dodge Marco, but she let down her guard when she saw a human.

Marco sighed and unsheathed his sword, before turning in front of him, and got face to face with another monster…

She had pink hair and a pair of long curved amber horns, she had knife ears and charcoal black skin, she was as big as a tree and had tuft on her arms and legs, behind her she had a tail with pink fur on top of it.

She was a Behemoth…

Marco: God…

Behemoth: What's a human doing here? Ah, did ya come here just to be fucked by me by any chance? You know, you have a great timing. I was just getting into my breeding phase, and it looks like ya could have some good sperm…

Marco: Fuck off!

Marco, without deactivating the Lightning cloak and the Chakra Gate, vanished from where he was, going to a straight line away from the back of the Behemoth, he used Sylph's too to acquire a greater speed, and now he looked like he could easily reach 30 times the speed of sound.
