The World's Ego (Book 2)

World Retribution

Third Person POV

Guy clicked his tongue as a Gate appeared in front of his domain. Iris's plan was a bust now that Ivarage has decided on another course of action.

"Stubborn fella, huh?" Guy stood from his seat and prepared himself, "Raine, Mizeri."

The two maids bowed to him, ""Yes?""

"I'm heading out there. Put up barriers if you need to." Guy instructed the two and leapt out the broken window, "And don't interrupt me!"

""Understood, Guy-sama.""

...

Guy landed in front of the Gate and looked at it with disgust as it slowly creaked open.

"Well, won't you look at that?" Guy commented as the figure stepped out of the Gate, "You've even gotten a human form. That means you've evolved, haven't you, Ivarage?"

Ivarage stared at him for a moment before frowning, "It's you... from all the way back then."

"Yeah. The name's Guy Crimson. I'm a Demon Lord." Guy said with an amused grin, "It can talk now, unlike before. Gaining intelligence was the last thing we needed..."

"I will... gain more power..." Ivarage declared with a dark glare, "... to eliminate you."

Guy laughs loudly, "Try it if you can! Let's see you struggle!"

In an instant, Guy appeared in front of Ivarage with his longsword drawn. A loud resounding crack of metal against metal echoed around them and Guy grinned again.

"So..." Guy pushed his blade against the claws, "... You must have something convenient up your sleeves. Let me guess, an Ultimate Skill?"

Ivarage narrowed its eyes, "You are the same..."

"Yeah, I wouldn't sit still knowing that you are getting stronger, can I?" Guy said as he pushed Ivarage back again, "Come on! Show me what you got, Ivarage! But don't worry, I'll make sure to kill you once I'm finished!"

Hearing this, Ivarage couldn't help but let a smirk crawl up its lips, "... Try... if you can."

...

Testarossa narrowed her eyes as a Gate appeared a little further from where she was stationed.

"Testa, do you see that?" Ultima asks

"Indeed." Testarossa answered without hesitation, "From the looks of it, that Gate is in the middle of all of our entry points."

"Is that guy issuing a challenge now?" Carrera chuckled in amusement, "That's interesting! I'm in!"

"Don't be hasty." Testarossa warned her, "Whatever comes out of there won't be the easiest to deal with."

"Then let's get rid of that door before anything can come out of it!" Shion declared without hesitation

"Hold on, Shion-dono-"

However, it was proven to be futile as she noticed how far Shion had leapt as the ground cracked beneath her feet with every landing she took before she finally arrived at the Gate.

"Take this!"

Slamming down her weapon which flew at a supersonic speed, splitting the air as it dove straight for the Gate. The impact caused the ground to shake, leaving dust in its wake as the three Demonesses assessed the situation.

Suddenly, Moss appeared from Testarossa's shadow with a troubled expression, "Something's wrong, Testarossa-sama."

"What happened?" Testarossa questioned immediately, "What's going on over there?"
