The entire thing made his head hurt, it wasn't that he didn't understand the concept that the book was about it was that he couldn't stop cursing at the person who wrote it. The whole thing was a mess, starting from the ingredients needed for the portal all the way to the rune's used to make it. Not only was it ridiculously expensive, but each use also used at least 300% more energy as it should have.
Alex himself was well versed in portals and teleportation, he just needed to know a location and he could easily teleport there at any second. In the end, the way the teleportation portal of the book was just too primitive to him, but as a pioneer of magic, he would give the portal in the book a chance.
Thus began his week-long extortion of materials from random devils in Kuoh town. He would turn into Mournomon and start stripping down any devil he found for materials, it became so bad that Cleria had come to him while he was dangling a devil from its feet, meeting him she didn't say anything and just gave him the remaining ingredients before swiftly leaving but he could see the irritation in her eye's. Promising himself he would give her a present when he comes back.
He didn't want to use the portal stated in the book for two reasons. First, it felt unsafe and second the way it worked, it would link two portals with each other which means the one in front of him and an already constructed one in the underworld. The book gave a few different portals in the underworld that he could teleport to but he didn't want to do it that way.
Against his better judgment, he decided to tamper with the portal and the results were that it would transport him to a random spot in h.e.l.l, he hoped"
Having s.h.i.+fted into Mournomon he waved goodbye to Aura who was looking at him said he molested her, tears dropping from her eyes, and stepped into the portal. Before he was teleported away he heard her softly say "Stay safe Master". And then in a flash, he was gone.
...
Unknown Location In The Underworld.
With a flash, Mournomon fell from the sky slamming into the ground, "It's official, I hat teleportation", said Mournomon before slowly standing up from the crater he made on the ground.
Looking around Mournomon inspected where he was, "Well, all I see are trees so, might as well pick a direction and get moving,". Ma.s.sive dragon wings appeared behind him as he flew in a random direction.
After flying for an unknown amount of time he sensed the presence of several individuals in front of him and quickly headed towards it. "I wonder If I can reason with these devils to give me some directions," he thought.
...
"Is everything prepared", a devil, presumably the leader, asked another as he looked at the rest of his team. "Yes, sir", answered the devil next to him. The group comprised of eight individuals, all of them were mid devils except for the leader, he was a high devil.
"Okay, we will strike the Sitri household as soon as it becomes dark, I want you an..., who's there!" the leader was still mid-sentence before he felt someone approach and immediately shouted.
What responded to his call was a huge man falling from the sky and slamming into the ground not thirty meters from them. The man stood over two meter's tall with white hair and horns growing from the side of his head, curving downwards. He wore nothing but a robe around his waist made of white material and golden symbols on it.
...
Mournomon had heard the last few sentences of these devils and he couldn't be happier with it. Not only could he get rid of potential danger to one of his objectives here he could also keep one of these devils alive to help him figure out where he is.
Having landed not so far from the devils, Mournomon walked forward while giving the devil a happy smile. "I am but a traveler," said Mournomon as he stepped closer to them.
The leader of the group was immediately put on edge when he saw Mournomon. Showed his men a signal to get ready, he stepped forward while the rest of the group flanked Mournomon, "How may we help you, traveler, do you kneed directions?", the leader asked, he couldn't let this man escape or there could be big problems for them.
"Yes, I would like to know where I am exactly, you see I got lost along the way and have been wondering for quite some time," said Mournomon as he stopped ten meters from the devil groups leader.
"We are currently in the Sitri family's domain if you..." the leader stopped talking after seeing that they had fully surrounded this stranger, giving a vicious smile he spoke, "Hah, fool, kill him" the leader gave the command before standing back watching as his men charged at the stranger.
...
Seeing the seven devil's charge towards him, Mournomon gave a little chuckle before stepping forward towards the closest devil. His foot made the ground crack as underneath it as he pushed forward, appearing almost instantly in front of the devil he thrust his right hand forward piercing it into the devil's chest before gripping its heart and ripping it out.
The other devils were stunned for a moment before reforming there attack, but this moment is all Mounomon needed as he threw the heart into one of the approaching devil's faces and taking the opportunity of its destruction to deal with another devil that had approached his left.
The devil trusted forward with its spear only for the weapon to be grabbed by Mounomon who pulled on it and lifted it with the devil still holding it, slamming the poor devil into the ground. The earth beneath the devil shattered as the devil died in an instant.
Three devils appeared behind Mournomon, thrusting their spears against his back. With a bang, the spears connected, but before the devils could celebrate the sound of those spears tips shattering rang in their ears. Looking at where they struck Mournomon there was only a slight white mark not even enough to be called a scratch.
The final nail in the coffin was when they heard what Mournomon said, "That tickles", they immediately started retreating but it was too late. Mournomon disappeared from there vision and reappeared next to the rightmost devil, impaling the devil with his left arm mournomon threw the impaled devil at the other two, not being able to dodge in time they were slammed by the body of there comrade and fell heavily on the ground only coming to a stop after a few rounds of rolling.
Mournomon finally turned to the last three individuals, the leader the guy that had the heart threw against his face and another on who was shaking crazily from fear. Not wanting to waste more time than needed Mournomon charged at the devil who had the heart thrown against his face, the devil only looked at Mournomon for a second before turning around wanting to flee.
Mournomon reached him in a second and pushed his right hand into the devil's lower back and griped its spine. With a tug and a lot of screaming from the devil, he ripped out the entire spinal cord, cutting the devils scream short right before tearing its head from its body, but making sure it's still attached to the spine.
Mournomon turned towards the shaking devil which was now on its knee's beginning for mercy. Just as Mournomon wanted to put the devil out of its begging misery he was. .h.i.t with a huge amount of magic energy that did absolutely nothing other than to annoy him, turning towards it source he saw the devil leader preparing another spell. Mournomon griped the spinal cord with the head attached to it and swung it at towards the begging devil letting go of the cord and letting it fly forward with a ma.s.sive amount of force. The head-on the spinal cord and the devil's head hit each other with such force that both caved in ending another devil's life.
The devil leader finally shot out its magic which was in the form of a ma.s.sive ball of energy, it flew towards Mournomon with great speed ready to unleash its might on anything it was set upon. Mournomon swiped his hand at the spell and slammed it with his palm like a volleyball towards the two unconscious devils on the ground causing them and the ground around them to be obliterated by the magic.
...
The leader's face was pale, his magic was depleted and his will was broken. "What a monster he thought as he saw Mournomon walking towards him. He wanted to flee but couldn't and to make it worse his legs finally gave in under his fright, falling forward he caught himself with his arms but a shadow loomed over him. He looked up and there stood Mournomon with the same smile he had when he first appeared in front of them, no it should be that the smile had never left his face even as he slew all of the devil leaders comrades.
Mournomon's purple eye's burned brightly as he spoke while still smiling, "Beg, to whatever G.o.ds you wors.h.i.+p"
