Nine Tailed System 156 Dark Rebirth

Marco: ..*Gulp* I'm Marco…

*Ding*

*Warning: The other party is trying to break your mind through an ability of his.*

*Willpower is enough to resist "Mind Break".*

Doom Overlord: So you can speak…

The armor raised his greatsword above his head, and Marco immediately fell on his butt in the water and put his hands in front of him.

Marco: WAIT!!

The Doom Overlord stopped the blade in air and the deep voice turned back.

Doom Overlord: ...How did you resist Torture?

He was obviously talking about the mind breaking thing, and he kept talking while lowering his blade in the ground beside him.

Doom Overlord: You don't have any protective gear…

Marco: I...I have a strong mind… This is the reason that your ability can't break it…

Doom Overlord: From your voice, I can see that you even pissed yourself…

Marco: S-Shut up… Anyone would be scared shitless if they saw you behind their back…

The armor chuckled, and said.

Doom Overlord: What are you.

Marco: I'm a human.

Doom Overlord: Are you that blonde wretch's follower?

Marco: Ilias?

Doom Overlord: Yes…

Marco: No… I declared war to her two days ago, yesterday every town and village was under attack from angels and chimeras, but I defeated them all, and killed precisely 88 angels, some of them may be turning back to life or they are already…

Doom Overlord: Hoho, it seems I have lost many things while I was down here to rot away, how many Angels you killed?

Marco: 75…

Doom Overlord: Archangels?

Marco: 4…

Doom Overlord: Principality?

Marco: 2…

Doom Overlord: Power?

Marco: 2…

Doom Overlord: Virtue?

Marco: 2…

Doom Overlord: Dominion?

Marco: 1...

Doom Overlord: Throne?

Marco: 1…

Doom Overlord: Cherub?

Marco: Wormiel…

Doom Overlord: Seraph?

Marco: 0, but I am planning to fight one…

Doom Overlord: Micaela, Lucifina or Eden?

Marco: Micaela is my aunt, Lucifina is my mother and I plan to slay Eden.

Doom Overlord: ...Angelic heritage, now I understand where your holy aura came from…

Marco: Even if I have holy aura, I don't have angel bloodline.

Doom Overlord: Good, but never speak anymore without permission, otherwise I'll cut you down.

Marco: …

Doom Overlord: Excellent. You declared war to that wretch, you almost killed one angel for each rank… You have human father and angel mother, but you aren't corrupted with Angel Bloodline… And I see that your soul is as dark as the insides of my armor, but I see that your intentions are pure at the same time… Explain.

Marco: I promised my mother to achieve coexistence between humans and monsters, but… Let's say that some of my methods and words are questionable…

Doom Overlord: Hahahahahahaha!!!

The armor let fall his greatsword from his hands and laughed at Marco's objective.

Doom Overlord: Coexistence?! Haha! That's a good one! It will be very hard, maggot. Even though you are near to it, hearing that the goddess over our head is doing war… *Sigh* ...I'm getting too old…

Marco: …

He raised his hand, the armor saw it and said.

Doom Overlord: Speak.

Marco: Aren't you an undead?

Doom Overlord: No one is immortal, humans, angels, monsters, gods, even us, everyone has a lifespan, no one is really eternal, except the avatars, they are just the creation coming from something else, and will exist forever, like the wretch over us.

Marco nodded, it is indeed logical and understandable, except the fact that nothing is immortal, that is a bit hard to understand...

Doom Overlord: There are some exceptions to this, the first is reincarnation, and the second is not being part of the nature's rules, like Lord Sepulchure… He is able to return even if his soul is crushed, he just needs time to do so. To concentrate the dark energy.

Unfortunately, I am not like I was on my prime, being able to slaughter cherubs like simple dogs… Or being able to slay legendary dragons with a swing of my sword, *Sigh* I really miss being at Shadowfall, god knows where I currently am and how I got here… You know what? I'll give you a deal.

Marco gulped, and waited.

Doom Overlord: I'll give you my powers and my armor, but you need to kill Illias.

Marco: Just that? I promised in front of my mother's corpse that I would kill her, I'll do it anyway!

Doom Overlord: Hahahaha! Excellent, I like you, youngster! Your willpower is great enough to resist to the darkness, and your soul is not blessed, making it able to use the armor.

But… I want to challenge you.

Marco: ...I accept it.

He stood on his feet and unsheathed his katana. The Doom Overlord put his left hand on his greatsword and lifted it.

Doom Overlord: Survive a swing of my sword at my current 100%.

Marco's eyes widened a bit before he used the Kurama Gate with Gnome, surprising a bit the Doom Overlord, but he swung his sword at his fullest, the greatsword turned completely black and glowed with darkness.

*Crash*

Marco's katana was snapped in two, weakening the attack, and the greatsword slammed on his chest.

Marco's body was able to come out without any external injury due to Gnome, but he was flung at sonic speed at the other side of the room with broken bones, and he fell unconscious for a little time.

The Doom Overlord saw that he was still alive and looked at his greatsword, which had a micro-sized scratch.

Doom Overlord: Haaaah… I must be really far from my prime…

And so, the darkness invaded the room, before it disappeared, together with the Doom Overlord and the injuries of Marco.

[Some minutes later]

Marco: Urgh…

Marco groaned, just waking up from the big beating he had before, and put an hand over his head, surprisingly, he felt only a cold sensation on his head instead of his warm hand, he looked at his hand and saw only a crimson clawed gauntlet.

Marco: What the…

He looked around his body, noticing that he was wearing a crimson armor that covered even his neck, there was no openings on his armor except from where his head came out, and yet, he could move normally.

The bigger parts of the armor were on his chest, shoulders, which was a bit shaped as a curved thorn, but unlike the Overlord's thorns, his was more uniformed, as if it is completely part of the shoulder plate, forearms, which had a normal curved big thorn.

The gauntlets, that he noticed they had the symbol of the Shadowscythe, that consisted of a skull-shaped helmet with curved horns pointed downwards, and had a ruby on the back of the hands, then at his waist there was a belt-like armor, and right over his dick there was a red skull, attached to that skull there was the familiar banner of the evil faction mentioned before.

Then there were the boots that ended with a plate for the knees, at his heels, there were more curved thorns, and finally, around his entire body, where the armor should not cover for greater mobility, was something that felt like his Enrikan Shirt, which granted protection and complete mobility at the same time. (AN: google for DOOMFire OF Gravelyn)

He looked down, in the water, and saw two glowing red dots, he looked better and saw that they were his eyes, which were strangely glowing.

Marco: 'System, explain…'

*Ding*

*The Doom Overlord gave you his cursed armor and sword, which got modified to fit your body and fighting methods, even if the armor is covering you, it will not be an hindrance for your chakra arms and the Nine Tailed Chakra Gate, which had some adjustments.

The armor will not glow because it is not completely compatible with the Nine Tailed Chakra Gates, but it will allow the passage of aura, in short, the armor is the Gate itself.*

*The cursed armor is highly compatible with Salamander and the darkness element, making it possible to transform the flames in hellfire, which will block the regeneration of the enemy, and at most leave a scar if cured properly, or cause death from blood loss in the worst cases.*

*The cursed armor and blade will permit you to attack angels and erase completely the holy effects of any being at the Seraph level and below. If Host managed to get the armor thousands years ago, he would be immune to the holy element of the God rank people.*

Marco: ...Blade…

Marco looked in front of him and noticed the same blade that hammered on his chest like a train. That was the only thing that didn't change, and it was as long as the length between the tip of his foot to his shoulder.

Marco touched the hilt and a message already came in his mind.

*Ding*

*Detected enchantment(Sword): Light's Bane (V), Empowerment (Darkness), Hellfire, Living's Bane (III), Undead's Bane (I), Iron Feather. *

*Ding*

*Detected enchantment(Armor): Light's Bane (V), Empowerment (Darkness), Auto-Repair, The Great Wall, Fire Immunity.*

*Ding*

*Congratulations for being the new Doom Overlord, now you can use: Torture, Dark Boost.*

*Angelic skills are turned into Doom skills:

Daystar -> Morning Star.

Fallen Angel Dance -> Devil's Dance.

Ninefold Rakshasa -> Five Headed Dracolich.

Heavenly Demon Reincarnation -> Dark Overlord.

Flash Kill -> Death's Strike.

Angelic Aura -> Impending Doom.*

*Morning Star: Counter attack stance that lets the user use a single, powerful, and blunt strike at the enemy, it is incredibly fatal depending on where one attacks.*

*Devil's Dance: Turn in shadows for an instant to avoid an attack.*

*Five Headed Dracolich: Strikes 5 times in 5 instants, each strike packs the power of a dracolich and the speed of sound.*

*Dark Overlord: The blade turns completely black from charging primordial darkness, it could easily turn any holy being in ashes.*

*Death's Strike: Like the Death, everything can be affected, it doesn't matter how many defenses you have, how much you live… Death will reach you, with a single strike you can tear space and time to reach the opponent.*

*Torture: Works only on targets without a really strong willpower, it is able to break someone's mind by showing the abyss of the hell to them, it could cause the target to die, being insane, intimidated, or fear. It doesn't work on dark beings like monsters.*

*Dark Boost: Unleash the power of your very core of darkness, and destroy on sight.*

*Impending Doom: An aura that only high ranked undeads have, just by their presence they could make the enemy understand that their end is near by unleashing your overbearing aura.*

Marco: Mother of God…

He was surprised from everything, but he wasn't shocked from long and extracted it from the ground, it was heavy, but at the same time it was light, probably Iron Feather was that. However, when it hit his chest before, he felt as if someone threw a giant dragon at him like a basket ball.

Even if he looked like he just came out from the darkest asshole in the hell, he didn't felt any problem in his mind, but when he remembered the Queen Alraune…

Marco: 'System, my mind status?'

*Ding*

*It was able to successfully resist Darkness' Temptation. There is no problem.*

Marco sighed in relief, and looked at the stairs that the Doom Overlord blocked before, he but the greatsword on his back and walked over there, as powerful as he was on the Kurama Gate, however he still need the Bijuu Gate it he want to end the war.

After climbing the steps, Marco reached an almost tranquil room, in front of him there was a throne in front of stained glass, at the sides of the throne there were red tents and candles.

Marco: Finally…

La Croix: Welcome, disgraced Sinn… er? What's that armor?

Marco: Don't ask me, I'm as clueless as you, I found it in the basement…

La Croix: I had that in the basement?

Marco: Apparently you didn't know about a fucking Doom Overlord down there…

La Croix: Doom Overlord? What's that? I had a Zombie Dragon Girl down there.

Marco: Whatever, where are Alice and Chrome?

La Croix: The other two are still wandering underground. That trap was just to separate you three… If all three of you attacked at once, it would ruin the show. I'll let each of you have your own private showing…

Marco: ...Thanks?

La Croix: It's nothing, but it's better making things soon, or they could come here, unless they are dead…
