Chapter 43: Azule The Azure Devil

(Artwork is done by AI. It's Azule The Azure Devil.)

Anton's POV:

After half an hour to a full hour of digesting the Demon soul I absorbed,
I decided to start making my way towards home.
I shadow swung all across the city as fast as possible,
coming across the clock tower Big Ben and spotting Genesis telling his clone something while dragging Futab Mine off.
Yep, the world is following its canon event.

After a long time of shadow swinging,
I spotted Weissal, Gram,
and Elias jumped from rooftop to rooftop in the same direction as me.
My instincts were telling me to stop them as in my timeline,
Reed and Jeffrey killed Gram and Elias. I decided to test out my new Demon Form on them,
so I shadow swinged into one of them and transformed mid drop kick.
All three stumbled back and fell over as I got up in my skin like armor.

I felt stronger and heavier,
but I could still move,
just a bit slower than my usual speed. Gram gets up and hits me several times with his tazer gauntlet,
but I only felt a small tingle.
He kept punching and punching until he wore himself out,
and Elis tried shooting me with his gun and using magic infused bullets.
It didn't make a dent.
So I collberd them,
and Weiss unfortunately got away,
but hey,
at least I know how durable this new form is.

By the time I was done with Elias and Gram,
their skulls were caved in from my fist.
I revert back to base form and get to swinging again,
only this time,
I smelt my dad and Clay!
I want to stop Weissal from going in the direction of the mansion,
but dad is a higher priority right now.
I land on a rooftop and look at the street below to see Clay in his full-blown Hollow Demon Form and Seth in his Dragon Demon Lord Form.

It was obvious they just encountered each other,
but dad has always struggled against Clay,
and even then,
their first fight was Clay holding back.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU HURT MY DAAAAAAAAD!"
I jumped off the building and kicked the ground where Clay was standing.
I throw off my hood as black dragon scales begin to become visible on my head and arms.
"Who are you?"
My dad asked,
surprised but then put his head in the game.

"Never mind, we can talk about this later when everyone is safe!"
I nod,
and dad summons his new sword on his back.
The sword that him and Zoey have been working on for 5 years,
the Fusion Saber.
A broadsword shaped like Cloud's iconic Buster Sword,
fused with a bit of technology.

The design was made with the sole purpose of utilizing all Seth's different swords and merging them into one sword.
Seth puts the Yagito into the spine of the sword and locks it in,
then the Anakanos Barack.

The spine of the blade closes and locks so that no one other than Seth can pull them out,
and lastly,
this behemoth of a sword was as stall as him.
Five foot seven inches.
"Hey Clay!"
Dad calls out as he takes his sword stance,
to which Clay slowly tilts his head to the side,
acknowledging the call out.
"Remember that old sword you gave me back in Regalia? Your sword sucks and my wife made a better version!"
This sends Clay over edge as he lets out an angry roar at us and charges with his old sword the twins broke.
Dad and Clay clash,
and I back my dad up!

Narration: With Gram and Elias dead, their souls transfer back to the cloning machine in the Exorcist HQ where they walk out chaos.
steal some lab coats hanging on the hangers,
and finally,
they take the pants off some corpses of Exorcist and put them on.
"Maaaan. We were so close to that mansion. Now we gotta restart all the way here."
Gram complained.
"Close? Bro, we weren't even out of the city. Besides, with a fresh new start, that kid probably won't hang around there, so we can meet up with big bro Weissal still. Hell, I bet he's already nabbed the twerp."
