Chapter 66 - Ophis Gets A Friend.
Kurayami was taken before he could react and as Shin is part of him he came as well. Kurayami looked around and he was in a dark room full of inscriptions on the walls. From what he could see they were sound-blocking ones. He looked at Ophis who had him in a vise grip and he patted her hair. "Hey, can you tell me why you took me?" She nodded.
"Your aura is good." He stood up and she was still holding on to him. He sat down on a small couch and she sat on his lap. "So where am I? I know your Ophis the Ouroboros dragon, but what are you after? Why take me?" She looked up and spoke. "Want to go home. Baka Red in the way."
"So, Great Red is in your home and where is your home?"
Dimensional Gap.." He leaned back and sighed. "So, you want to get Great Red out so you can go home. However what is this place?" She froze and started to ponder on what. "They said they will help me if I help them." He sighed. "Who are they?" She got into thinking mode and froze totally to think. "Mages, devils, humans, and ones I forget. They say they will help me." He sighed.
"Hey, look me in the eyes." She got off his lap and he looked her in the eye. "Give me your hat." She took off her hat and gave it to him. He sighed and showed it in his hands. "See? I told you something and you didn't think twice. I am sure they lied to you. What did they ask for?" He helped her put back in her hair and she sat back on his lap.
"Snakes." He started to feel bad for her as she seemed really easy to manipulate.
"What are snakes?"
"Make people stronger. I gave it to them." He facepalmed and stood up while picking her up. "Ophis, I think you are really innocent. To me, it seems like they lied to you and they just want you for their own goals. You want to beat Great Red and to me, they want other things. What if I told you I want to beat Great Red, would you believe me?"
She nodded. "You said you would." He nodded. "I did, but people lie. I do want to beat Great Red, but how about this. You leave whoever they are and you be my friend. I plan to fight Great Red and prove I can beat him, so I can help you. If you help me." She stood up and tilted her head. "Friend?" He nodded. "A friend is someone you can trust. This is Shin, I am Kurayami Himejima." She looked at Shin and back to him.
"Ophis, Ouroboros Dragon. Your friend." He extended his hand and she took it. They vanished from there and they appeared in a place very close to the dimensional gap. Shin and Kurayami looked around while Ophis floated in the air.
"So why are we here Ophis?" She landed on the ground and she started to get into that thinking mode. He waited for her to finish and she looked over. "You want to beat Baka Red? I can help you." Kurayami created a small chair and sat down. "How?" She looked at him. "Blessing, I can bless you and make you stronger." He stood up and thought about it.
"Are their negatives?" She once again started to think. "I don't know." He looked at the void and he took a risk with Shin, so what is one more. He nodded and she placed her hand on his chest and one on Shin's head. A snake much denser than the ones she usually gave out entered both of them and they began to shake while his eyes filled her symbol. This made the pain from taking Shin to seem like a bee sting.
He collapsed, but she caught his body and she laid him down while his body began to adapt to the 'Infinite.' as his eyes kept switching from normal to the infinite symbol and Shin was the exact same. He was shaking and the cross on his neck was being carved with the infinite sign. Ophis kept her hand on his chest helping him regulate his power.
Azrael, Azazel, Esdeath, and Artemis were shocked as he was just kidnapped. Even Shiva and the ones who were watching were left with weird looks as someone as strong as he was just taken like that. She got to him before they did. Azazel clicked on a tracker that all members of Grigori wore and nothing.
"Where ever she to him, I can't track him."
Artemis nodded. "I also lost all sign of him. Why would Ophis take him?" Azazel sighed. "You don't think that that idiot's aura even works on Ophsi do you?" Azrael's face palmed. "I think you are right, now we either wait for him to come back, or we try to find her. That is easier said than done." Esdeath looked around worried. "She won't kill him right?"
Azrael shook his head. "No, even if you attack her she will almost never fight back. She probably got really interested in him and took him. Knowing him, he should be back in time." Artemis sighed as she just met him and he was gone. "I will call my father, we should look for him."
They went back to Grigori and they went back to Kurayami's home and when Shuri saw them without Kurayami she was not worried, but more overwhelmed. She sighed while carrying Dante. "So let me guess, he fought Hades, and he is either still there, or some cool pet took his interest." They all had weird looks as Ophis could not be called a pet and she took interest in him.
Azrael called everyone to the dining area and he coughed t get attention. "Well let's just get it out there. If you felt tremors, Kurayami fought Hades. He proved his might, but Ophis took him after hugging him and saying mine." Everyone felt it was anti-climatic as knowing Kurayami he was probably not even complaining.
Nico looked at Azrael. "Uh, Sir, who his Ophis?" Azrael explained who Ophis was and how she was the strongest being around if you don't count Great Red. He also explained who that was and the ones who just heard of them were shocked. Annabeth looked close to panic.
"We need to find him? Even if we find him, how do we save him?" Azrael shook his head. "Actually he is safer with her than here. After the stunt, he pulled fighting Hades, we are lucky that she took him as stronger beings would have gone after him to recruit him or kill him." Shiva was just one of them who was watching and they might not want him to grow stronger and take him out early.
Azazel sighed."So much for our trump card. Thank's a lot Ophis." They went the meeting going and they decided to keep this secret and they will just wait for him to come back. Back in the dimension where Kurayami was in a coma, it had been about a month and when he opened his eyes they had her symbol and he saw Ophis sitting on his stomach.
"How long have I been out?" She looked at her fingers and began to count. He waited and soon she looked at him. "30 days." He was out for about a month, but he felt so strong, yet weak at the same time. She got off his stomach and he felt too strong. She noticed and held his hand. "Overwhelmed? Need time to process." Shin was back to being a puppy and yet his eyes were identical to his
"Ophis, I won't be able to leave here right?" She shook her head. "Too unstable. Might die without me." He sighed and he looked over at her. "So what can I do?" They began to walk together and she looked at him. "I don't know?" He sighed as she was too innocent. "Hey, Ophis. Can you help me by sparring with me?" She titled his head. "Why?"
He explained if he spared with her he should be able to stabilize his own power. He nodded and from here on his hell began. She barely held back and he found out that his familiars were in deep comas as they were being affected by Ophis. Kurayami throughout his time with her started to talk to her about the world and he taught her.
She helped him train as he said if he was stronger he would be able to handle Great Red better in the future. She was totally right when she said he was too unstable as even one attack would leave him drained. If it was not for her he might have died a few times. In no time about two whole years passed. She told him time moved faster here as it was closer to the dimension gap.
In reality, only about 5 months had passed just in time for the young devil meeting. He felt he needed more time to control the infinite, but Ophis said that he was stable enough. She looked like a grown-up version of herself and Shin was once again an adult and Kurayami eyes were two infinity sighs. He took to wearing sunglasses and both he and Ophis left the dimension.
She looked at him and like always bluntly answered. "Much stronger, not enough for Baka Red." He nodded. "I still don't stand a chance against that guy, but thanks to you I have unlocked things I didn't even know God put in sacred gears. Although I almost died. Let's go." Her outfit was nowhere as revealing as she learned from him that a girl should not show that much skin.
Both of them appeared at Grigori and his presence was felt by Azazel and Azrael. When Azazel saw the both of them he sighed in relief. "Your back, what have you two been doing all this time?" Kurayami grinned. "Training." Azazel motioned him to come inside and Ophis walked along with him and they made it inside the lab.
Azazel looked at his sunglasses and pointed at them. "Trying to look cool or what?" Kurayami took them off and had his eyes closed. When he opened them they saw his violet eyes with infinity sighs. They both looked at Ophis who looked less gullible. Azrael sighed.
"What did you do to him?" She was eating a muffin she stole and she looked at Kurayami. "Spared and blessed him. He wants to beat Baka Red." Azrael sighed. "This is the issue with battle junkies. It is never enough for you. Go to your girls." Kurayami and Ophis left to his house and when he appeared the girls were having spars, but they seem bored.
When they saw him they all froze and they rushed toward him and once again got him in a huge group hug. To Artemis not much time had passed, so she just walked up to him. However to the rest of the girls 6 months was a long time. Most of them broke down crying with the exception of Esdeath who claimed she was never worried even if she missed him. Akeno looked at the new sunglasses.
"Look us in the eyes and tell us what took you so long. Mom and dad were worried about you." he sighed and he lowered his sunglasses and they saw his new eyes. They felt pressure and he put on his sunglasses back. "Let me introduce my friend and trainer Ophis the dragon god of infinity, and my kidnapper." Ophis waved with the same look in her eyes.
Esdeath saw Ophis looked like an older version of herself and felt it was odd. "Well, your back. Finally." The girls all looked at Esdeath weirdly. "What?" Raynare broke out laughing. "Who was the one who cried every day saying I want my hubby back." Esdeath turned bright red and left. "Lies." Kuroka got him in a huge hug and saw he was even taller now than before. He was now 6 ft 5 and Shin has gotten a growth spurt as well.
They entered the house and seems they were not done with him yet. Now he had to deal
