DEVILS WILL CRY

Dragon Hunting

After returning to the mansion, I quickly got inside and met with my father and uncle. They were armed and ready to go, however, I needed to grab some things first. So, I went to my room and grabbed a backpack, and began filling it with stuff.

"Where are you going?"
"Hunting. Sirzechs gave us a special mission, gotta take down a little lizard that's been causing a bit of chaos"
"Are you aware of how powerful dragons are? Even Issei's potential abilities could be dangerous to you"
"A dragon is a dragon. How hard can it be? Besides, we got three Spardas at full throttle"
"Two, and one limited"
"My limit is still on their level. If something happens, I'll give you a call. If not, I'll probably be back tomorrow"
"I don't believe you understand the risk posed by this dragon. And you've still yet to tell me what dragon you're hunting"
"Don't know, don't care. Besides, in the rare chance that I can't kill it, I've got three backups. Either way, you've got nothing to worry about. Just don't tell the others, I told them I was hunting a demon"

I reached under my bed and pulled out a glass spray bottle full of crimson liquid.

"Aha! Now I'm ready to fu- fight! I'm ready to fight!"
"What was that?"
"Well I was gonna say fuck shit up, but Sirzechs said minimal casualties. So I went with fight instead" I bluffed.
"Very well. What should I do in your absence?"
"Whatever you want I guess. I mean, it's only one night, so go crazy. Just don't burn down the mansion or anything"

I gave the android a pat on the head before leaving the room.

"When I'm back, we can go fishing! I've been wanting to get into that recently, no clue why"

I went downstairs and found my dad and uncle waiting.

"You ready kid?"
"Got everything I need. How about you guys?"
"I'm prepared. Sirzechs gave us this teleportation seal to take us there"

Vergil held up a piece of paper with a complex red seal on it.

"Well, if we're ready, let's go"

Vergil activated the seal, and we found ourselves in a forest surrounding a great mountain.

"So, what's this dragon about then?"
"Its name is Azarnoosh. It means eternal fire, so expect things to get toasty. But, just to be on the safe side, we should scope things out first. No need to get caught with our dicks in our hands"
"That's a wise choice. It'll be useful to know what we're up against"

As we walked, a great shadow loomed over us for a moment, and a great purple and black dragon flew towards the mountain.

"Shit!"
"It didn't see us, we're fine"
"No, that's not the one we're supposed to be fighting"
"What do you mean?"
"Sirzechs was lied to. That's not Azarnoosh. Meaning all the info we got was made up"
"So this is a trap?"
"Yep. And I'm gonna guess we won't be able to leave either"

I tried to summon a teleportation glyph, but as I did, it turned out black and dull, which meant someone was sealing us in with the dragon.

"Odds are we could run out of the seal's area of effect, or we can take the chance, what'll it be?"
"We're already here, it'd be a shame to turn back empty handed"
"Agreed. We've fought worse than a single dragon"
"Then that settles it. Let's bag us a dragon"

To start, we made our way to the mountain, following the dragon we saw. Thankfully, the forest wasn't too thick, meaning our path was pretty easy. And soon, we were close enough to get a good look.

"Anyone want a drink?"
"Hell yeah, hit me"

My father tossed me a bottle of water with a cross on it. Clearly, it was holy water

"Last time I used this stuff I got put in a bed for a few days"
"Holy water doesn't affect us demons"
"It affected me quite well"
"Demons have joined peerages before, it didn't affect them"
"Why did I get hurt then?"
