Nine Tailed System 119 I Declare War

In front of him stood a clear room and at the other side there were tall stairs that took to the throne, there were two statues of normal dragons at the sides of the golden throne, and there she was… Alice… Sitting on the throne.

She was staring at Marco as if he was a stranger, and started speaking.

Alice: ...Traveler. Well done making it here. I am the Monster Lord, Alipheese the 16th.

Marco: And I am Bob the Pizza guy, stop f.u.c.king around and come down…

Alice glared at Marco with cold eyes.

Alice: You came to defeat me, didn't you? Take up your sword, traveler! Burn the power of the Monster Lord into your eyes!

Marco: ...Oh G.o.d… You're seriously starting this s.h.i.+t…

He pinched the mid of his eyebrows and shook his head, while acting. He knew he couldn't do almost anything to stop her right now, and if he revealed the secret, Ilias would come down here and attack.

Alice: Now, accomplish your destiny. Pick up your sword, Magnus, and deactivate the Magic Dispersion enchantment…

Marco didn't picked the sword, and just walked forward, slowly, but with determination, his expression was cold like a glacier and piercing like a spear.

Alice: However, don't misunderstand me. I don't intend to simply roll over and die. If there's even the slightest hesitation in your blade, you will end up dead yourself.

If you are unable to defeat me with everything you've got, you wouldn't be worth entrusting the world to… Go, unsheath your sword, transform yourself, and rampage!

Marco didn't listen, he walked…

Alice: Tch…

She raised an arm and said.

Alice: Can you endure this scorching heat!? Omega Blaze!

Alice created a storm of fire, which shot to Marco.

Marco: 'Salamander…'

Before the storm of fire reached Marco, it separated in two, each destroying a large door behind Marco.

Alice: I call forth the icy touch of death… Frost Ozma!

Alice's magical power froze the air around Marco, sealing him in a ice block.

Marco: 'Undine…'

The ice block cracked, revealing an unarmed Marco, he continued to walk to Alice, he was in the middle of the room now.

Alice got a bit angry, and used Monster Lord's Cruelty, she raised her arm and created four small black orb, which slowly got bigger until they reached the size of a human each.

All 4 of them were thrown to Marco…

Marco: 'Sylph…'

Marco made a step forward, and a dark orb came past him, with two more steps, two other dark orbs missed the target, and it ended with a bow, while the last orb came past his head.

He deactivated Sylph's powers and finally reached the stairs, he started to climb on them.

Alice got really angry and started to use Eyes of Temptation.

*Ding*

*Warning: Status: Charmed.*

Marco froze on his spot for a second, before he mentally gave the order.

Marco: 'System, cancel the magic.'

*Ding*

*Erasing traces of Magic…*

*Status: Healthy.*

And then he continued to walk at the same pace, surprising Alice.

Alice: Why won't you attack!?

She raised again her hand and created a spear made of pure darkness, before throwing it at Marco.

Marco: 'Gnome…'

He grabbed the spear before it pierced him, the force that the spear carried made him back away until he reached the entrance, however it was surprisingly weak, and it easily shattered.

Alice: ATTACK BACK!!

Enraged, she started to charge her magic for a strong attack, however, Marco could notice a tear coming out from her red and puffed right eye.

Marco: 'Lily…'

Marco was charged from lightning power, and disappeared from his place, Alice was too busy charging her magic to counterattack Marco, who was half meter in front of her, he grabbed her neck and pulled her in front of him.

And the fight finished with a kiss…

Alice was unable to move from the great shock that came on her body, it wasn't Lily's fault, she just was paralyzed after Marco kissed her, it was her body that won't move.

Some seconds later, Marco pushed her a bit away and took deep breaths.

Marco: So… Will you finish this idiocy?

Alice: …

Marco: I'll take that for a ye-

Alice: Why…?

Marco: I told you, I want to achieve an happy ending for as many people I can, and you are one of the top priorities… I am not a Hero who would save the world… I am a Villain, I would prefer seeing the world burn if I need to get you safe… It's just that I am a particular Villain…

Alice: ...How naive, thinking you can fulfill your promise without a sacrifice along the way… You're pa.s.sing up your chance, you know…

Marco: ...How naive, thinking you can solve the world's problem only with a sacrifice along the way…

Alice: ...Heh… Touche…

Marco: Now stop doing this s.h.i.+t, you told me you would help me for the coexistence, not kill yourself. If I wanted to really kill you then why I let the other monsters alive?

Alice: ...But, I have to die…

Marco: b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l ALICE! I f.u.c.kING LOVE YOU!!!

And then, Alice's heart skipped a beat…

Alice: Wha…

Marco: I told you! I love you! I would kill humans and monsters instead of killing you! Do you f.u.c.king understand it, you dumb b.i.t.c.h!? I love you! I can't hurt you! And never I will! You are the one who doesn't understand anything!

Alice stood silent, unable to utter a word from Marco's sudden confession.

Alice: '...What was I thinking… Marco is not a Hero… Why would I let him of all people do a job that a Hero should do…? But… But if he really feel like that for me… What would happen if I die…'

Suddenly, Alice remembered the dream she had when Marco was angry with her, she can't bear to see him anymore in those conditions… The despair on his eyes, the confusion on his movements, and the sadness on his face…

Alice: ….Sorry… Marco… I'm sorry for doing something this stupid…

*Ding*

*Special Quest[Successful]: Stop Alice from being an idiot.*

Alice hugged Marco, while he caressed her back with a calm smile on his face. Suddenly, an unexpected voice was heard.

?: Oh brave Marco… You have chosen the most foolish path…

Suddenly, the room was filled with a holy aura and an heavenly figure descended down. Marco turned towards Illias and looked at her with a poker face.

Marco: …

Ilias: What I have feared the most of all has come to pa.s.s… Seduced by the Monster Lord, you have yielded to her wicked will… After having favored and watched over you for so long, only to be betrayed like this…

I am unable to hide my disappointment in you. Marco… You are unqualified to be a Hero.

Alice: Hmph… Unqualified? How can you call someone who fights for others to the bitter end anything but a Hero!?

Ilias: I am the one to deci-

Marco: Silence…

Alice and Illias turned towards the subject of their conversation, who pointed his sword to Illias.

Marco: Illias, as the Villain, I will declare war against you.

Ilias: ...Pointing your sword at a G.o.ddess… That's quite the sin you're committing…. Marco, accept your divine punishment.

She threw a bolt at Marco, but Marco easily dodged it with Chakra Gate and Fallen Angel Dance, surprising Ilias.

Ilias: That… How do you know Fallen Angel Dance!? That is a technique exclusive for the special angels! You are only a human!

Marco: Tch… I already escaped death once, and I came out with a new ident.i.ty… I escaped death twice, and I came out with a new strength… Even if I die for the third time, I will come back and behead you…

Ilias: Then… Let us make this Monster Lord's Castle into a second Remina. Be exterminated with these monsters you so adore… Marco, the Villain.
