A Gamers Multiverse Adventure

Chapter 8: Overlord Finale

"What are you doing?! Get away from here!" Evileye yells, it's understandable since unlike Momon I don't have a reputation, I must seem like some nobody. I ignore her and keep my attention on 'Jaldabaoth'.

"You certainly are a persistent one, since you've come all this way may I ask your name, please?" Demiurge asks, sticking to the story we decided on.

"You left so quickly, back in the Arwintar. I am Yami, a travelling warrior. What are you doing here? Planning a repeat of the Empire?" I ask, that's right Shiro didn't destroy the Imperial Capital City of Arwintar, it was the terrible Demon Jaldabaoth. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. And yes Yami isn't the most original name but whatever. It means Dark, so I thought it'd be funny since Shiro means White.

"Not quite, it seems that a mighty item that can summon us and make us do its bidding has found its way into this city. I am here for the purpose of recovering it." Demiurge replies.

'He's trying to get information out of him through this interchange, is he? I wonder if he's a high level imperial adventurer? I haven't heard of any adventurers called Yami though.' Evileye thinks.

"I've come a long way to find you Jaldabaoth, I'll defeat you, right here. You have no issue with that, do you?"

"I am afraid I can't have that, so I will have to resist." he replies.

I leap at him bringing my great sword down on him, it's easily blocked by his claws, I'm holding back massively, with literally infinite strength even a floor guardian would be crushed if I didn't.

Ignoring the notification I continually swing my blade at Demiurge, pushing him back as he blocks.

'Amazing... What is that? Is that? But my heart stopped beating a long time ago...' Evileye thinks, grabbing her flat chest. 'Hang in there, Lord Yami!'

Demiurge goes on the offensive knocking me backwards before jumping into the air.

"[Aspect of the Devil: Tentacle Wings!]" he shouts, growing a large pair of black wings as he hovers above us. Small tentacle shoot out from his wings aiming at Evileye as she cowers. I jump in front of her like the Hero I am (lol) and start cutting them out of the air, it's hard my DEX is still at 50 and a great sword isn't the best for this to begin with, but I mostly manage.

"Thank goodness you weren't hurt." I say to Evileye once the volley has finished.

"Y-yeah... Ah, your arm! Are you all right?!" she asks noticing one of the tentacles I missed is trying to burrow into my arm, with my END stat it can't even break the skin.

"Something this minor is no problem at all. Never mind me, I'm just relieved that you're all right." I say kindly, I was worried that acting like this would get me a positive trait, but thankfully it looks like the Game acknowledges that I am just acting. I can't see her face but from the way she acts I'm certain that she is blushing.

"Bravo. Imagine, being able to keep her from any harm. I, Jaldabaoth, would like to sincerely offer you my praise." Demiurge congratulates me. He's so nice.

"I don't need your flattery." I say as I switch to a one handed grip and lift Evileye up. But feel free to praise me more.

"Wah! L-Lord Yami?!" Evileye blurts out as I hold her against me. 'Forgive me, bards of the world! Knights do fight while defending their delicate maidens in their arms!' she thinks.
