After Tatsuya said the three magical words to Zeoticus, the red headed devil snapped and his brows immediately shifted to show his anger.
Zeoticus started to release his aura and glared at Tatsuya in order to make him scared.but soon widened his eyes when he saw Tatsuya smirking at him while sitting back more comfortably.
Tatsuya looked at the devil in front of him and said, "So did you like those three magical words?"
Zeoticus only gritted his teeth and said, "Don't cross the line shitty brat."
Tatsuya just looked at him with an amused smile and said, "Oh crossing the lines is one of my favourite hobbies. Seeing these shit like faces like you are making right now makes me feel so happy that I cannot tell you."
Zeoticus only narrowed his eyes and said, "You are making to light of me. Even if I have not fought with someone for a long time, you should still not underestimate someone who has survived the great war."
Hearing that Tatsuya started laughing which made Zeoticus anger flare up and he said, "What is so funny here? Or is it that you finally lost it."
Tatsuya calmed himself down and then looked at him and said, "No no, I just remembered a fallen similar to you who was proud of himself for surviving the great war. Do you know what happened to him?" Tatsuya then stopped smiling and glared at Zeoticus while activating his sharingan making him flinch.
Zeoticus who saw the cold look from Tatsuya's eyes whose effect increased because of the Sharingan took a step back.
Tatsuya who saw him taking a step back smirked and said, "All bark and no bite, heh. At least that fallen had the courage to stand up to me. Some great devil you are."
Hearing the insult Zeoticus started to release his demonic power and said, "You will pay for mocking me, you dare say that a fallen is better than me."
Tatsuya just kept smiling and said, "Congratulations your ears are working properly."
Zeoticus who now had enough of Tatsuya fired an orb of demonic energy towards Tatsuya who kept looking at the orb with a neutral expression on his face.
When the orb was just centimetres away from his face Tatsuya's sharingan changed and the orb started to get absorbed in a spiral like motion inside Tatsuya's kamui dimension.
The scene made Zeoticus completely shocked and he could only open his mouth wide in surprise.
Seeing that Zeoticus was shocked Tatsuya smirked and said, "You done, GREMORY" in a mocking tone
The devil who heard Tatsuya's mocking tone snap back to reality and glared at Tatsuya. He gritted his teeth clenched his fist and jumped at Tatsuya inorder to punch him.
Tatsuya looked at him with a bored expression and opened his mouth to yawn. He continued to look at the devil coming towards him in slow motion because of his Sharingan and used his telekinesis to send him crashing in the ceiling.
Tatsuya looked up and said, "You like my ceiling?"
Zeoticus pushed his body down with his hands and got his head out of the ceiling and jumped down on the floor.
He stared at Tatsuya and is now viligant of him, he then slowly started to charge up his demonic power for a big attack thinking that Tatsuya would not notice it.
But Tatsuya being Tatsuya noticed the energy being charged by the devil and narrowed his eyes and said, "You do know that there are other people beside us in the house, right?"
Hearing that Zeoticus got surprised but a grin appeared on his face and he said, "So what? I am sure that my son and Serafall can easily withstand the attack while saving their sisters, that's what matters to me. About the rest, well they might get caught up in action."
Tatsuya smiled at him and said, "You know you are very twisted unlike your personality you show to the others."
Zeoticus continued to grin and said, "Oh, I am very proud of my acting."
Tatsuya nodded and said, "You know I am also very proud of something."
He then disappeared from Zeoticus's sight making him widen his eyes in surprise. He then heard a voice which made him completely shocked, "I am very good at butt kicking." and used a bit of his strength and kicked him making him crash into the wall of the room which also broke the barrier he placed.
Zeoticus fell off from the wall and was not able to move Tatsuya's kick broke several of his bones and the only thing that he could feel was pain. He looked hatefully towards Tatsuya who was only looking at him with a cold expression on his face.
Seeing the look on his face Zeoticus was completely scared, he was not able to think what to do, he was not able to move, his magic did not work, physical attacks didn't work, and his experience from the great war was not helping him at all. He could only grit his teeth and curse Tatsuya in his mind.
Tatsuya then started walking towards him making Zeoticus twitch his body wanting to move away from there, but was not able to do anything.
Tatsuya came in front of him and crouched down to look at his face more clearly.
Zeoticus who saw him crouch down in front of him while his sharingan was still active was now shivering and was hoping for someone to save him.
Tatsuya moved his hand and grabbed his hair to lift his head to his level and stared directly in his eyes.
Tatsuya then said with a cold voice, "Listen here, I don't care whether you are a devil or how great your house is. Heck I don't even care if you try to kill me. But just now the attack you were planning to launch could have injured those dear to me and that was the only thing that you should not have done."
He then surrounded the room with a soundproof barrier and stabbed a holy sword in his stomach after which Zeoticus started screaming in pain.
Tatsuya didn't stop there and started to release holy magic around the room making the pain more severe for the devil while also lowering his pain resistance.
Zeoticus was looking at Tatsuya and wanted to ask for mercy but the only thing that came out of his mout was screams filled with pain. Tatsuya also continue to look at him with cold eyes making him even more scared.
Tatsuya looked at the devil whose body was twitching and moved forward and held the hilt of the sword.
Seeing that Zeoticus got more scared thinking that he was going to stab it deeper but contrary to his expectations Tatsuya took the sword out and stopped releasing the holy magic around the room.
Tatsuya then casted a healing magic on the devil making his wounds and injuries completely disappear without any trace.
Zeoticus who was surprised by what Tatsuya was doing suddenly snapped and started checking his body and after he made sure that there were no problems he looked at Tatsuya and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for having mercy."
Tatsuya looked at him with a smile on his face and then said, "Now let's go for level two." making Zeoticus could completely shocked and look up at Tatsuya.
But before he was able to two swords were stabbed in his stomach and the amount of holy magic that Tatsuya was releasing also got doubled making it even more painful for the devil making his screams even louder.
Suddenly the door was pushed open making Tatsuya turn his head and look at the person who came here.
In front of him were the two maous who came there and had a pained expression on their faces because of the holy energy present in the room.
Tatsuya stopped releasing his holy magic and said, "Good timing Sirzechs, I was about to come and talk to you about 'something'." and glared at him.
Sirzechs looked at his father who was twitching in pain and thought, 'What have you done to piss him off father?'
Tatsuya who heard his thoughts smiled and said, "Oh, he just started to talk about handing over the territory back to the Gremory but quickly got angry a on being refused and was about to unleash an attack which could have harmed most of the people in the room you were before."
Tatsuya the walked towards Sirzechs and placed his hand on Sirzechs's shoulder and said, "Now just asking but, did you actually know about something like this to happen?" while he looked at him with a 'friendly' smile.
Sirzechs gulped his saliva and immediately shook his head stating that he didn't know anything about this matter.
Tatsuya nodded and said, "You should make sure that your father only open his mouth where it is necessary, otherwise who knows when a 'bad' person will attack him because of him slipping his tongue."
Sirzechs simply nodded his head and then bowed and said, "I deeply apologize for whatever my father has done. Please spare him for my sake."
Zeoticus who was now not in as much pain as he was before because of Tatsuya stop releasing his holy magic looked at his son and coughed some blood and said, "Don't believe him, he was the one who attacked me first. He is making things up."
Tatsuya only glared at Zeoticus and said, "If I were to seriously attack you first then there won't even be a hair of your pathetic self left. You didn't even cared about the safety of your own children and now is shamefully blaming me."
Zeoticus was about to say something more but Sirzechs raised his hand making him stop and said, "Father let's stop this here and not cause trouble. This is not our territory." Though his words were polite his tone was not, it was a commanding tone instead of the usual gentle tone that Sirzechs used.
Serafall looked at Tatsuya and said, "Tatsuya-chan I apologize as well for any misconduct on the part of us devils but please spare his life otherwise there will be a lot of problems that the devil council will raise. Afterall not only he is a pure blood but also is the head of a house of the 72 pillars.
Tatsuya looked at Serafall and seeing the panicked expression that she had, he sighed and snapped his fingers making the swords disappear from his stomach.
Tatsuya looked at Sirzechs and said, "Take him away, one more time something like this happens and he will be a goner, I don't care if you will have some elders from the council missing, bit he will die if he tries something against me."
Sirzechs gave a deep bow and immediately rushed towards his father and crouched down to lift him up but Zeoticus lifted his hand to stop his son.
Zeoticus slowly lifted his body and looked at Tatsuya and said, "Boy you will pay for all this humiliation. I will- no the whole Gremory territory will hunt you down."
Tatsuya snorted and said, "Like I said, I don't care about you insects. Come at me all you want."
Zeoticus glared at Tatsuya and said, "I will destroy you and your family and the-" before he was able to finish Tatsuya immediately rushed towards Zeoticus and punched his stomach making Zeoticus cough a large amount of blood and fall dawn on the floor.
Tatsuya lifted his head to his height and said, "You wanna have a taste of the 'game' we were playing now again, bastard?"
Seeing what was happening Sirzechs prepared himself to go in his super form and said, "Tatsuya, I beg you please let him go."
Tatsuya looked at Sirzechs and them threw the devil in his hands and said, "LEAVE."
Sirzechs didn't said anything and immediately teleported away with his father.
