Chaos Devourer System: My Classless Ascension-Chapter 21 - 20:Boss Meeting (2)

"Welcome human, to my humble abode"..

A twisted sonorous voice sounded out...

[Warning]

[Entity exceeds dungeon classification...]

"Well... Fuck..."

I couldn’t help cursing..

Just the sound of that voice sent a spike of danger through my entire body system..

The system’s warning didn’t help that fact at all..

What do you mean exceeds dungeon classification...?

Just what the fuck had I gotten myself into...

"Hahahahahaha... yes, that’s the expression a pathetic little human should have in the face of true power"..

The voice continued, delighting in my confusion...

"Just..what the fuck are you?" I couldn’t help it..

The whole situation just didn’t sit right with me..

And something about that presence was sending a multitude of signals to my system..

Not only was the feeling wrong, but something within me was getting stirred, an almost irrational feeling of anger..

I suppressed it. I wasn’t about to let some unknown feeling drive me, not now, not when I still don’t know what I was dealing with..

"Hahahaha.. pathetic little human, allow me to introduce myself properly". The voice responded..

The moment it did, the crimson fog surrounding it was instantly cleared, and what I saw, sent that suppressed feeling of rage spiking, my eyes turned red, my blood boiled, and all reason flew out the window..

"I am VARETH KAL URG, son of the HIGH ZENITHAR OF THE ASURA DOMAIN, MOREN KAL URG"....

The creature stood up slowly, fully revealing its form..

I wasn’t listening, not anymore, not after recognizing what stood in front of me..

A monstrosity over 5 meters tall, dark crimson skin with twisted veins bulging beneath its skin, it’s muscles looked like darkened steel, muscular arms tipped with blackened steel like claws, it’s broad physique looking ominous within the dim lighting..

The tattered bat-like wings that unfurled behind it looking like banners of massacre and bloodshed, the jagged crimson horns protruding out of its forehead marking its identity clearly, even without any introductions, I recognized that foul aura, that vile presence....

"A demon..." the growl tore out of my throat, brutal, raw, filled with murderous intent...

Of course it was..

no wonder my body was reacting to that vile aura, of course it did, even in my bloody dreams, it did..

After all, it was this vile race that took everything, EVERYTHING FROM DANTE, FROM ME!!...

"This.....pitiful human—"

I wasn’t in the mood to listen to a third rate villain’s speech, I appeared before the creature, reality itself lagging behind, my fist flying with full force, nothing was held back, all my rage, my hatred, my pain, poured into that fist, wishing only one thing..

"DISAPPEAR!!!!!!!"

Boooooooooooooommmmmm!!!!!

The entire cavern exploded, the shockwave spreading wildly, I could feel the very dungeon shaking, but I didn’t care.

I just stared, unblinking at the sight before me..

The demon’s entire torso had been obliterated, but there was no notification, no kill notice..

"That...was rude...human"..

Came the creature’s disgusting voice, it’s torso rapidly regenerating, bones forming anew, as the creature regained its monstrous form..

And that’s when I looked, truly at what I was facing..

<VARETH KAL URG>

C-Rank

Level 25

That’s it..

No identifiers, no nothing..

The only reason I was even able to view its name and rank was because this thing, for some reason I wasn’t in the frame of mind to care about, had decided to hole up inside an E-rank dungeon, acting as it’s final boss..

"You’ll pay for that..human"..

Before I could register the words, a massive fist was already before my eyes, I could track them, and yet..

Boooooom!!!!!

The impact was disastrous, I was blasted backwards with such speed I broke the sound barrier, causing concussive booming sounds, my head spinning...

<Chaotic Adaptation activating.....>

I couldn’t even register the notification.

Booooom...

Crack!!

Another solid fist connected with my back, and I could here something snap, something important...

I bit down on the scream that threatened to tear out of me, I wasn’t going to let that thing witness me scream. I’m never giving it that satisfaction..

Woooshhhh

I heard it befor I even saw it, another punch, but this time, I reacted..

<Atmospheric Control(S)> kicked in almost instinctively...

Immediately, "STOP!".

I uttered, voice like a verdict, and the atmosphere adhered..

The demon’s fist froze mid air, the very air turning into still water, denying it the very concept of motion..

It didn’t last, the punch tore through the resistance with a wet crack!!

But it was enough with <Chaos Healing>, Chaotic Adaptation in tandem with <Primordial Titan’s Strength(S)> already mending whatever that thing had broken...

I distanced myself, appearing more than 100 meters away..

"Ahhh~~~ interesting, very interesting, hahahaha" the demon laughed, voice tinged with the faintest hint of interest..

"To think you survived a whole 50% of my strength, tsk tsk, who would’ve thought I’d find such a talented human in this backwater domain" the demon continued...

It was saying words my mind currently refused to register..

I was only seeing red..

One of Them was before me..

One of the things that stole everything from me..

The very reason a 5 year old Dante had decided to abandon everything that made him a child to train. Train to the point of exhaustion. Train to the point of losing his goddamn life. A life I’m just now trying to put back together.

They stole my happiness, they stole my childhood, they stole my warmth, THEY STOLE EVERYTHING!!!!

And now one of them appears before me? Mocking? Cocky?..

One of them appears before me, right when I had just begun my path to power? Power to annihilate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM? Daring to oppose me? Stop...ME?

Daring to threaten to take away my newly found warmth? My Aunt V? My Melissa???

"UNACCEPTABLE!!!!"....

I thought I had adapted, I really did, I thought I’d synchronized fully with Dante, accepted everything of him as mine..

But as I stared at the demon, it’s face twisted with manic glee, the disdain in its eyes, as if looking at some insignificant prey..

Something within me snapped....

Then came the Memories....

All short 5 years of happiness before darkness...

Then came the feelings..

The pain, the hate, the rage, the chaotic storm of emotions that threatened to drown him..

Only to be kept at bay by Her-No-Their Warmth...

"Little human, I’ve been dormant for way too long, so be a good little pet and make this fun".. the demon spoke, grinning maniacally..

In that single moment, there truly no longer were two souls within one body..

In that moment of shared anger and rage and pain and hate...

I became, fully and completely DANTE...

"WAR GOD ASCENSION"...

And this demon was about to regret ever appearing before me for the short span of its miserable existence...

********

A/N: Dante finally meets a demon, and he’s not happy, not at all..

Just to be clear, Power ranking and Talent ranking, despite all being graded from F~SSS are essentially different..

So seeing a C-rank warrior dog walking an A-rank is common territory for monstrous geniuses..

Our boy proves that easily no?

PS: it’s a new week, new goals, if we’re able to hit a 100 power stones, there’ll be bonus Chapters at the end of the week..

Each 100 ps gets a bonus Chapter..

Thanks for reading...
