161 War: Devils, Demons, and Gods Part Four

Misaki watched as her kin began to retreat. She, with Chiho, Mo'mo, and Miyu took up the rear blocking the devils that were trying to attack her injured kin. Rya, Frell, Sato, Gen, and even Lor'ia were doing the same. As they retreated a mass of divinity rushed past them as she heard Lord Mevesis yell out. "Cover the demons as they retreat! Someone take over keeping that ship in the crack!"

Seeing the reinforcements come in and help with her kins retreat Misaki finally released a sigh of relief. Misaki flew towards the command area, her body beaten and tattered. She was covered in wounds, she had sustained thousands of attacks with just her body alone. It was a given that she would be in bad shape.

As she sat down in a chair, Rya quickly came over and began casting healing magic on her. "Misaki you're too reckless!"

"There was nothing I could do. If I did not rush in when I did more of those ships might have appeared. If that happened we would not have lasted at all. I can not let my kin die. Not if I can do something to protect them all. Unfortunately, some still died... " Misaki's voice was filled with sorrow, and her eyes became watery. To her, her kin was family. They trusted her and followed her expecting to have better lives. She looked at them as her brother and sisters. She hated to even see them get hurt but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it. She had hoped to at least not let any of them die but that was also wishful thinking.

"Mitsu, why don't we turn this area into a monument for all those who have fallen?" Chiho asked.

Hearing this Misaki nodded her head. She found this to be a very good idea. "Then let's do that. We can not bury them because they will turn into zombies. The least we can do is erect a monument in the name of those who had died sacrificing themselves while protecting this world."

"My little disciple, I am very proud of you." Leo came walking in. He himself had a few wounds on his body but other than that he showed no sign of tiredness. "During that onslaught of attacks, you did not even yell out in pain as you continued the task ahead of you ignoring everything."

"I was just doing what I could to protect my kin." Misaki answered.

"Even still, not many would do what you did, sacrificing themselves as you did." Leo really respected Misaki's actions. Her will to sustain so much to protect her kin was beyond his expectations. It was the first time in his life, someone like him who loved to live free and unfretted, felt that following someone and having someone under his wing was not a bad thing.

Although Misaki was a demon, although her ways could be very ruthless, she still showed compassion when it came to her kin. She was a leader who cherished those around her and showed no mercy to those who crossed her. The human race had made her lose her humanity, but her followers helped her regain it back to a certain extent. But her discontent for humanity was real. She felt nothing for a race of people who only cared for themselves. Only those that showed that they were trying their best to survive, did she think were worthy enough to become her kin.

Misaki had already decided to finish her purge of Japan once this was all over. She would then head for South Korea where her parents were supposed to be located. If they were still alive and still considered her as their daughter she would give them a choice to become her kin. If they said no and were willing to stay out of her way, she would not do anything to them and would make sure to give them a proper life. If they decided to stand in her way she would wipe away the relationship between parent and child and end their lives on the spot.

"Lass come here and meet some people." Lord Mevesis said as he walked into the room Misaki was in.

Misaki nodded and stood up before following Lord Mevesis into a building not far away. They entered a large meeting room where fifteen other people were waiting. "Everyone's here? Good!" Lord Mevesis gave a smile before sitting at the table.

"Let me introduce you. This is Misaki Mitsu. She has just entered godhood through the old ways. Although she is not ranked yet she will be once her world rises to the Gods realm. Now I know some of you might not want this but let me tell you now she is probably stronger than half of you here as she is now." Lord Mevesis introduced Misaki while at the same time dropping a bomb on their egos.

Misaki felt like this old man was giving her more problems than she could handle! Just by the looks and some of the gods in front of her, fully displaying their killing intent towards her, she knew she was going to have a headache soon. Lord Mevesis looked around and saw those who were on edge as if they wanted to kill Misaki now. "A word to the wise, do not attack her, or I will not let you off. Her world is off limits before its rise. If any of you break this rule I will have no choice but to destroy your clan or faction."
