Chapter 12
No One POV
Artemis and the others are now at the Familiar Forest where of course you can find familiars as this is pretty much the first time that Kanji,Cu,Ingvild and Kuroka has been to the said place while for Artemis and Grayfia well this isn't really their first time.
Kanji:*looking around*so this is the Familiar Forest huh nothing really special to say the least although it sort of gives me the creeps.he said
Cu:hmm sort of reminds of those old folktales with the creepy forest and some witch will come out of nowhere and try to kill you.he commented
Ingvild:*shaking*that won't happen right.she's asked
Kuroka:don't worry their just making assumptions that's all.she assured her
Artemis:but where the hell is the Familiar Master anyways I don't see him anywhere.he wondered
???:hohoho I heard your cry and I am here.the person said
They all turned toward the voice as they seen a man wearing a blue cap and casual looking clothes as he also has a backpack on him as Kanji had raised an eyebrow since bro literally looks like Ash Ketchum but on drugs.
The Familiar Master is none other then Zatouji and well pretty much everyone there had eyed the weird person with interest while Artemis and Grayfia just stared at him.
Zatouji:*grins*hehe hello there my fellow Devils, I'm Zatouji and I'm the Familiar Master it's a pleasure to meet you.he introduced himself
Artemis:it s been awhile hasn't it Zatouji I see you still hyper as usual.he greeted him
Zatouji:oh if it isn't the young Lucifer and his hot maid who I'm sure your getting DEEP inside of her, it's certainly has been a while Artemis.he said back to them
Cu:*raises an eyebrow*hold on you guys actually know this weirdo.he asked
Grayfia:we encountered hm a few times that's all.she replied
Kanji:are you sure he's not Ash Ketchum but on fucking drugs.he asked
Zatouji:hey I take offense to that I'm not someone who lost 6 whole ass leagues in a row dude, I'm better.he said
Kanji:*sweat drops*obviously you haven't been catching up with the anime since he's now the strongest trainer in the world.he said back to him
To say the least Zatouji did watched Pokémon but he stopped watching it ever since Sun and Moon came out since he didn't like the art style, he's quite the old fan since back at his place he has everything related to Pokémon.
But since he's an old fan of the series he pretty much grew up with the OG Gen and he's not like those OG 1st Gen meat riders he actually gives the other generations a chance....well except Sun and Moon, he never watched Journeys.
Zatouji:*confused*huh what the hell do you mean by that, he isn't the strongest trainer in the world it's the waifu Cynthia.he said back to him
Kanji:just watch Pokémon Journeys and you'll understand why, have you not watched the Sun and Moon series.he asked him
Zatouji:*scoffs*no I dropped the anime ever since they changed the animation style I fucking hated it.he replied
Kanji:I guess that's understandable, but anyways Journeys art style isn't too bad, but they did went all out on the final battle tho I suggest you watch it.he told him
Zatouji:hmm I'll keep that in mind, but onto the reason why you guys are here. What type of familiar are you guys looking for.he asked them
"Something that's cute."
"I don't really care to be honest, but something that won't and kill me."
"To be honest I don't really need one since I still have mines when I was with my old master."
"A really cool ice monster or something, maybe with a little bit shadow power as well."
"I'm sort of with Ingvild on this one I want something cute."
They all gave out their own opinions and what they want as a Familiar while Artemis well he didn't really cared as long as it can help them in the long run like in future Rating Games and any future opponents as well.
Zatouji:*rubs his chin*hmm quite the unique assortment that you all want but I guess we can make some exceptions, for now let's go over the easier one shall we.he said out loud
Timeskip brought to you by the gang and Ash Ketchum on drugs looking for Familiars.
Still No One POV
The group had walked around the forest until they came across an owl on top of a tree looking down at them as everyone had looked up at the said owl with interest especially Kanji since he does have a thing for owls since he finds them cute.
Artemis:oh it's an owl and a pretty cool looking one too.he said
Zatouji:ahh yes it's called a Night Wing owl, they are pretty good with anything stealthy and also have a bit of illusion powers with them as well.he said
Grayfia:if we're talking about illusions then I think Kuroka would be the best pick for it.she suggested
Kuroka:*sweat drops*sorry but I don't really do well with birds since I'm part cat, so I think I'll pass on that.she said back to her
Kanji:if that's the case I guess I can give it a try.he said
As he walked ahead of the group and looked up at the said owl who also looked down at him from where it's standing on the tee, the 2 of them had locked eyes until Kanji's senses had started to kick in.
He seen an attack coming at him from the side as he dodged it and punched the said thing that attacked him, which was the owl surprisingly as it was sent flying into a tree.
Kanji was surprised by the sudden attack and reveal of the said owl, as he looked back up at the tree and seen that the one on the tree had started to fade away as it really can create illusions.
Kanji:huh well what do you know it can create illusions, but I think I hit it a bit too hard.he said
Cu:*sweat drops*I hope that thing isn't dead.he commented
Zatouji:believe me when I say this but their a lot harder to kill then you think, it's probably a bit dazed tho at the best.he said back to him
Kanji:um are you ok little guy sorry if I hit you a bit to hard.he asked him
He slowly made his way over to the said owl to check if he's ok and thankfully he stood up and shook off the dizziness and looked up at Kanji who was quite relieved that he didn't killed it by accident.
The owl did something shocking as it bowed down toward Kanji who was both surprised and confused by the sudden action but didn't really know what to say since the gestured had surprised him.
Kanji:*surprised*eh why is it bowing down to me does it see me worthy to be its master.he asked
Zatouji:that's exactly correct young Muramasa, it believes that your worthy of being its master do what do you say.he replied to him
Kanji:*smiles*well I accept welcome to the team now....um what do I call you tho.he wondered
Ingvild:*excitedly*eh you can give your own familiar a nickname too.she asked
Artemis:most masters do tend to give their familiars a name since it's easier then calling them by their species, so yeah nicknames are quite common among them.he told her
Cu:*sweats*how much you want to bet she'll give something that looks dangerous a name that's not fitting for it.he asked Kuroka
Kuroka:hmm $50.she said
Cu:deal.
They both shook hands while Kanji is on the ground trying to come ip with a name for his new familiar/pet until his mind finally came up with one, as he smiled at the name he came up for him.
Kanji:*smiles*how about I give you the name Seer.he said
Kuroka:why would you give it the name Seer.she asked
Kanji:well he did say that their really stealthy and we could use him to get information and scout out areas, so that's why I decided to give him the name Seer.he told her
Artemis:huh not bad of a name, but I guess we can scratch his name off the chart now for the rest of us.he said
After Kanji had made the pact with him he decided to put him to where their staying for the time being since Kanji didn't want him to get hurt or possibly killed with them continuing their journey of getting familiars.
The group had continued make their way through the forest until they all heard a loud howl besides them as they looked up and seen a large black wolf which immediately caught Lancer's interest.
Grayfia:hold on isn't that a Dire Wolf.she asked
Zatouji:yup that is indeed a Dire Wolf and it's a lone one as well it seems that It gotten kicked out of its old pack.he said back to her
Cu:so do these wolves have any specific powers.he asked
Zatouji:it honestly depends on the color of the fur as that determines what element they're able to use, since this one has black fur there's a high possibility that it can also use shadow magic. But that's not all, their also very good trackers and can pick up a scent miles away.he told him
Cu:*grins*heh sounds like my kind of familiar, I've always been fascinated with wolves since it sort of reminds me of myself back in the day.he said out loud
Artemis:well I guess you can try your best to tame it.he said back to him
Cu had made his way over to the large black Dire Wolf as the said animal had stopped and stared a the spearman as it jumped off the ledge it was on and slowly made its way over toward him as it stood a couple meters in front of him.
Wolves are already big but a Dire Wolf is even bigger then a regular wolf as there were once thriving in the human world like thousands of years ago until they all went extinct, well at least that's what they all think.
Most of the Dire Wolf colonies had all hid in the shadows rarely ever showing themselves humans that doesn't know of the supernatural or they just learn about it by accident, but over time these animals has learned to use magic.
Cu:*looking at him*hmm you look pretty strong how would you like to be my familiar, you get to have a nice place to stay and best of all free food.he asked him
Wolf:seems like quite the interesting offer you have.he said to him
Kanji:*wide eyed*hold on did it just talk to him.he said out in surprise
Ingvild:*surprised*wow I guess these familiars are a lot more then I anticipated.she said out loud
Zatouji:I guess he's found himself quite the rare one since most of them doesn't know human language.he said out loud
Kanji:*rubs his cheek*I wonder if Seer can talk that'll be pretty cool.he wondered out loud
As of course even Cu was surprised by the fact that the wolf had actually talked to him but it definitely made communicating a whole lot easier that's for sure.
Cu:*surprised*whoa so you can actually talk I guess that makes communicating with you a WHOLE lot easier.he said back to him
Wolf:you asked if I wanted to join you as my familiar but why me.he asked him
Cu:well why not your the first one that caught my eye.he replied
Wolf:*looks down*why don't you ask some of my old comerades who's worth your time, I'm too weak to be of use to you.he said back to him
When he said that everyone there was both interested and started to feel bad for him since he really did get kicked out of his own pack most likely for the position of leader and well he gotten kicked out because they all thought he was weak.
Artemis does see where he's coming from since at first he also thought he was weak until Rizevim his grandfather had took him in and started to train him personally, and because of that he's now at an Ultimate class Devil level.
Artemis:weak who the hell decided that your weak.he asked him
Wolf:*looks at him*my former pack mates they all thought that I was weak and so they kicked me out since they didn't had any use for me anymore.he told him
Artemis:yeah keyword "former" pack mates, your no longer in that pack of yours so you don't have to listen to them.he told him
Cu:Artemis is rights it's YOU the person who determines what your limit is and not the others around you, after all you have control of your own body and emotions. And you can use that as motivation to get stronger am I right or wrong.he said back to him
The Dire Wolf had took in what both Lancer and Artemis said to him and well he knows that the 2 of them are right about that since the only one that has power over himself is well HIMSELF of course, he's the only person who determines whether to be weak or strong.
Wolf:*determinedly*yes you guys are right about that, I can't let that post get me down I need to stand back up and improve.he said out loud
Cu:glad to see you gotten your motivation back but about my proposal earlier.he asked him
Wolf:*nods*yes I'll join you Spearman, what is your name.he said back to him
Cu:*grins*hehe good decision wolf and as for my name, I'm Cu Chulainn the reincarnation of Ireland's Child of Light.he introduced himself
Wolf:it's nice to meet you my new master but what will you call me.he asked him
Just like Kanji he also needs to come up with a nickname for his new friend from the forest as he's starting to think of what he should call him.
His mind was running until he came up with the perfect name for him which is something that fits him quite well.
Cu:*smirks*how about I name you Twilight how does that sound.he asked him
Kanji:*snickers*seriously your going to name him after some romance show.he asked
Ingvild:*interested*ouu is it a good romance show.she asked him
Kanji/Artemis:*sweat drops*um not really to say the least I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you like Taylor Lautner.they both said to her
Cu:well unlike that Twilight this is a whole lot better and I'll be the one to help him improve his powers, what do you say.he asked him
Twilight:right it looks like from this day forward my name is now Twilight.he said out loud
Now that Cu has his familiar there's still Ingvild,Grayfia and Artemis to deal with as he also took out his notebook and crossed off Cu's name as he's now joining Kanji and Kuroka in the "I now have a familiar" section that's labeled.
Zatouji:well now that we've gotten that over with let's move on shall we since there's still 3 of you who still needs familiars.he's said back to them
Timeskip brought to you by Ingvild coming up with cute names for her potential Familiar.
Still No One POV
The group had spent the last hour or so walking around until they all felt a sudden chill run up their spines which made Artemis and Grayfia uncomfortable as they both stood on guard as even the Familiar Master had started to feel nervous.
While poor Ingvild had gotten scared by the sudden chill and change of atmosphere as she immediately ran over toward Artemis and hugged his arm for safety, which both Kuroka and Grayfia noticed that.
It seems that the Leviathan descendant is finally making her move onto the Lucifer descendant but they both know it's more the that, until Kanji had decided to ask the familiar master.
Kanji:*shivers*so are you going to tell us why all of us had most likely gotten that chill up our spines.he asked him
Zatouji:*sweating*well well who would've thought that we'd run into one of those here in this forest their kind of rare.he said out loud
From the distance in front of them they can see a large creature crawling on all 4's as it's slowly creeping up on them, as of course everyone there was real cautious about the appearance of this new creature.
The creature had finally showed itself to the group as Cu was quite shocked to see it since he ever thought he'd one like this again after a long time.
It was a Wendigo as this write famous in America as he's also quite curious why one is all the way here in Japan, but one thing about Wendigo's is that they make ANYONE uncomfortable around them it's just one of their abilities.
Cu:*shocked*whoa it's a Wendigo who would've thought I'd see one all the way here in Japan's Familiar Forest.he said out loud
Kanji:*surprised*eh as in that old American folk tale that Wendigo.he asked
Cu:*nods*yup it's the same one, I haven't seen one in years but this one seems to be a juvenile so not entirely strong.he said back to him
Kuroka:*shivers*well despite it being somewhat a teenager it's still pretty scary looking I mean it's giving me the creeps.she said out loud
Zatouji:I'm afraid It's one of their abilities, they're able to strike fear into anyone that's near it or comes face to face with it.he told them
Grayfia had eyed the said Wendigo with interest as she doesn't really think she'll find the one that she's looking for so she decides to go with this one as she stepped forward ahead of everyone which surprised some of them.
Grayfia:I guess I'll take this one then.she said out loud
Artemis:*surprised*hour serious you really want this Wendigo to be your familiar.he asked out in surprise
Grayfia:well it's better then nothing and well it can also be pretty strong if trained properly.she said back to him
Zatouji:she's not wrong you know, there's some Wendigo's out there that can even kill an Ultimate class Devil. So if she manages to time this beast she'll have one powerful ally.he said out loud
Ingvild:*worried*please be careful Fia I don't want you getting hurt.she cried out to her
She nodded as she made her way over to the Wendigo who looked at her and released a loud screeching roar which made Kanji and Kuroka cover their ears from the piercing screech and the same can be said for Invgild who dug her head into Artemis's shoulder.
As Grayfia had then slowly brought her right hand up close to the Wendigo which confused everyone and even the said Wendigo until well....SHE SLAPPED THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF IT.
Everyone that's watching was shocked to see it happen in person as the said Wendigo had went flying into a couple of trees and breaking them all down. To say the least Grayfia certainly has one powerful bitch slap.
Artemis:*sweat drops*yikes I'm not sure if I should feel bad for it or not.he said out loud
Kuroka:*flinches*that was quite powerful definitely don't want to be on the receiving end of that mighty slap.she also said
The Lucifuge maid walked over the now down Wendigo who slowly regained its vision as it stared at Grayfia with a hint of fear on its face, as she bent down over to its level and asked.
Grayfia:*menacingly*so do you accept me as your master Wendigo.she asked it
The poor Wendigo couldn't help but bow down to the powerful maid who isn't even wearing a maids outfit at all, as it seems the Wendigo had accepted Grayfia as its master as everyone had sweat dropped in amusement.
Kanji:*chuckles nervously*geez that was fast, she literally bitch slapped it and it immediately became her familiar.he said out loud
Ingvild:*amazed*wooow Fia is soo amazing she beat it so easily.she said
Artemis:*sweating*yeah definitely feel bad for the Wendigo.he said out to himself
Until they all sensed another presence as they all turned their faces toward a long creature almost like a leviathan as Zatouji was also surprised and amazed at the sight and even Artemis since he's seen a few of these back in the Underworld.
Of course Ingvild had felt an immediate connection with the said creature as both Kuroka and Kanji was also impressed with the new monster in front of them, as it seemed that the bigger ones are now showing up.
Artemis:*whistles*dam it's an Abyssal Leviathan it's been awhile since I've seen one in person, but it's still a baby tho.he said out loud
Kanji/Cu/Kuroka:*shouts*WAIT A BABY BUT ITS FUCKING HUGE.they all yelled
Zatouji:yeah the younger Lucifer is right, it's still indeed a young one. The adults can reach up to 7 football fields in length, this one is only a hatchling.he said back to them
Ingvild:*star eyed*sh-shes so beautiful can I keep it pleeeasseee.she begged
Almost immediately both Ingvild and the small Abyssal Leviathan has already bonded as she's eagerly scratching the bottom jaw of the said creature, as the large leviathan had hummed in content as everyone just sweat dropped.
While Grayfia had walked back as he already tamed the Sid Wendigo as she's now standing wit the others as she's looking at the Abyssal Leviathan as well.
Grayfia:huh well what do you know it's a leviathan never thought I'd see one in the forest we're not even near a body of water.she commented
Artemis:probably sensed Ingvild and made its way over here since they do have a connection with the ocean and what not.he put in his theory
Cu:still tho why did 2 powerful familiars popped up out of nowhere.he wondered out loud
Artemis:*shrugs*I don't know maybe the author has gotten tired of writing and just wanted to end this chapter already.he broke the 4th wall
The said author had groaned as he needs to fix that later whenever he's not busy or isn't lazy to be honest it's either one of the 2.
Ingvild:hmm let's see how about I call you Levy-Chan.she said
Cu had laughed as he pointed at Kuroka's face has grimaced as she looked away from him but handed the $50 nonetheless since it was part of the deal.
Cu:*laughs*HAAAAA TAKE THAT KUROKA I KNEW SHE'D NAME IT A CUTESY NAME.he said to her
Kuroka:*groans*I knew i shouldn't have accepted that I was practically begging for me to lose.she said out loud
Ingvild:*smiles*hey look Arty,Fia,Neko-Chan,Cu Cu and Kan Kan we have a new friend now.she said to them
"Stop calling me that it's embarrassing."
"Why Neko-chan of all things tho."
"The fuck kind of name is Kan Kan, sounds something my friend Ken would give me."
The 3 who didn't really like their nicknames or just confused at why that nickname of all things as Artemis and Grayfia didn't really mind to say least, but maybe it's because their nicknames isn't embarrassing to say the least.
Although Artemis couldn't find himself another familiar that's useful in battle but he's just happy to see his peerage members being able to find their own familiars as well.
Zatouji:well isn't that sweet...well do you guys mind leaving I need to take a shit and I kinda feel like jerking off now.he asked them
Artemis:*sweat drops*right, but cmon everyone let's leave this Ash Ketchum on crack for he can do his thing. Since you guys have already gotten your own familiars now.he said to the
Kuroka:yeah but what about you, you haven't gotten your familiar yet.she asked him
Artemis:I honestly don't mind or care, I'll just come by here later on my own time to get one.he said to them
???:is that so, it's been awhile since I've last smelled anyone from the Lucifer clan not since the original Lucifer that is.a deep voice said to them
Everyone has heard the deep voice as a a strong gust of wind had by passed them as they all covered their eyes from the dust and the breeze, and well the leviathan that Ingvild had just tamed is curling in a defensive and scare position.
Whatever this thing is must be big to make a leviathan like her curl up in defense and submission despite her still being a youngster, its size is no laughing matter.
They all looked up and was shocked to see a really large dragon like being as Artemis was also surprised to see this dragon since well he's seen this dragon before a few times in the old records of his family.
It was Zaoshen the old familiar of the original Lucifer his great grandfather.
Zaoshen:greetings Devils and human my name is Zaoshen and I'm here for the Lucifer descendant since it's been centuries since I've felt that familiar presence.he greeted them
His large intimidating stature is looking down at them as Artemis is both scared and amazed to see the legendary familiar of his great grandfather.
Artemis:*amazed*well I guess things has just gotten interesting.he said to himself
Zatouji:hell yeah it sure did, no one hasn't seen Zaoshen in hundreds of years till now.he said back to him
A/N:well this chapter is over with which I'm thankful for since this is the longest chapter I've done for this story, although I wished it was more action than getting familiar's. Most people would skip this part but I wanted to do an actual chapter about it.
Zaoshen will be shown more in the next chapter since he knows the Lucifer bloodline, also he's from GBF.
Another thing there will be another girl aiming for Artemis's seed hehehe, me and ArchieX2Y has been talking about for awhile now.
Next chapter is gonna be "What's So Special About Me"
Stay tuned👍
