The Game Rune System

The demons loved each other deeply!

This love was so deep that the demon suspected someone from another faction was here to oppose them. The underground plan wasn't a play and it could benefit their race in the long run! The man didn't plan to lose all devils here!

He smiled, "This water is... inconvenient... What would happen if I got rid of it?" The demon smiled widely, then took out his purple rune. The rune was like a small meteorite with chains swirling around it.

His name was Qen. In his demon circle, the demons called his rune 'Tyranny Rune'. His demon race and ancestor was also known as Tyrant Demon.

The rune's light descended like a rain on every devil. Unprepared for such massive influence, most of them got enslaved in less than one minute. The slave rune stopped their cries and wailing and forcefully threw them to fight the fairies.

They couldn't forget about the pain. Their bodies were the same. However, the demon didn't care about such matters. Even if they had been crumbling, the devils still could fight and let out some flames.

If all of them let out their flames and used the known devil technique, then the fairies would suffer some heavy losses.

This light also aimed at Anna, but with her seal gone, she ignored Qen and flapped her wings to bring her pure and strongest inferno to him!

"He is also looking for me... Should we make an appearance then?" Tetsuya glanced at the flying demon and smiled to himself. Of course, he didn't rush yet because the surprise attack was one of the most useful fight openers.

Ashley reminded him of it, but he had been planning it ever since the demon began to suspect a few things.

His eyes went below, to the capital streets, to look at the fairies. The new chains around the devils complicated a few things, but who said that the fairies weren't prepared? They also had techniques that could be used en masse.

With the fairy queen at the helm, Tetsuya knew that they would be able to bring them all to the real hell! Thus, he took out his sword... "I have yin essence of Anna... and Yuhi. Two opposite energies... If I combine them both, what would happen?"

Tetsuya asked Ashley who simply said, "Explosion." Even though the game master could learn about runes and experiences from his players and partners, he wasn't skilled to bring out all elements.

And some powers often would fight against each other instead.

But if it was flames and water, then the explosion would be the answer! Tetsuya decided to begin the surprise attack by bringing down this combination!

All useful powers wrapped around his body! The man also turned into an MMORPG player by putting a devil inferno set on his body. Looking like the devil-slayer, Tetsuya eyed the battle between the devil queen and the demon.

Claws, flames, chains and purple tendrils flew around them, slashing at each other as much as they could. Their battle didn't let anyone come close to them, but Tetsuya found the gap.

This gap was created by Anna who wouldn't let him just watch the battle and enjoy the rewards later. She would either get wounded by the demon or have the demon by her side!

The Devil Queen wouldn't mind suffering some wounds for the latter!

Fortunately for the queen, all flames exuded by her body and techniques benefitted Tetsuya. He also had a nice boost to his speed from the enslaved devils below them! All their flames became the boost that laced Tetsuya's wings with flames.

He broke his speed limit several times, then appeared next to Qen!

"..."

The demon totally didn't expect that. He was in the middle of trash talk as usual and his lips didn't stop at all. Only the explosions caused by two unique yi demon essences brought the man down!

"AHHHHHH!" For the first time in a while, the demon screamed with genuine anguish and pain. His eyes snapped and stretched, then his whole body landed heavily on the street. Killing a few devils was the least effect; he destroyed a lot of the city and wounded and buried many more of his slaves beneath the crumbled buildings.

The explosion of two elements was just like the bomb. The bomb was so fast and untraceable that both Anna and Tetsuya hovered mid-air with shock slapped on their faces. The latter did his job already, so Anna quickly regained her composure. She pointed her finger at the demon, then inferno circles began to gather one by one around his body!

Those circles were small and matched the demon's height, but the power behind even one would put the whole fairy forest into conflagration.

"That was the yin essence!" Qen roared, his wings spreading wide. His whole power erupted with raw demonic strength, then all the devils got their vitality sucked. The vitaly rushed to him, then increased his muscles and height.

He was becoming someone bigger than the grand devils!

This vitality allowed him to survive the inferno circles without blinking! His red eyes hovered on Tetsuya who kept smiling at him with the Lust Sword in his hand. The demon summoned his mighty chains, then those hurtled themselves at Tetsuya!

Tetsuya performed his swordsmanship, "That's not the problem." He played with those chains while Anna slithered her way closer to the demon! She spun and let out the flamethrower out of her mouth, then kicked while carrying the heavy flames on her slender leg.

Tetsuya was also done with the chains and grasped one tightly. He pushed himself closer to the demon, then his essences yet again began to swarm his sword. This powerful explosion was just about to descend on the demon.

"In this state, you would need at least ten of those!" Qen roared, "I will smash you before you conjure those bombs!"

"Will you really?" Tetsuya sneered, then his sword slashed horizontally. He cut all surrounding chains, then made his way closer to the demon's body! The weight of his slash also slowed down the demon, but the opponent held well.

Their battle was a battle of vitality and energy reserves.

However, after Tetsuya threw the sixth bomb at the demon, he didn't let the man regenerate or think about the consequences. He instantly invited the demon to his MOBA BOARD and the game began.

In this world, Qen lost all his strength. His vitality didn't boost his stats as much and he was just lost in this playful demon's playground!

The Devil Extermination passed successfully.

If there were some devils in other capitals or outside the underground, then they were the lucky devils to continue this stupid lineage.

If not, then the devil queen was the only devil alive in the world.

She looked at the destroyed capital with relieved and happy eyes. In the middle of this capital, the demon body silently lay. He lacked an arm, but more parts of his body were bound to disappear into Tetsuya's equipment.

The game master had been on the ground as well, his chest heaving up and down. He inhaled slowly and looked so exhausted that one would need to hold him. Of course, the fairy queen took that job first.

Anna also wouldn't mind it, but she would take some time before helping this naughty game master.

Nonetheless, the fairy queen decided to make this moment her own and she wanted to close the distance with Tetsuya.

"After we return, we will heal ourselves, then I will perform the technique... to bring your beloved back," Maya whispered, then also tiredly hugged Tetsuya! They both looked pretty cute, but Anna scoffed and ignored her heart.

The aftermath of this devil extermination alarmed other races.

They had sent people to check on the situation, so all fairies were already evacuated back to their forest. Tetsuya and the fairy queen were looked at by the devil queen and they still needed to collect their rewards. So, the devil queen's hands went to work as she couldn't watch them closely for even a second more.

"This ended so suddenly... What am I going to do now?" Anna whispered while collecting stuff with her player's inventory.

A few days later, Tetsuya and Ashley were full of nervousness and expectations!

The day when she would get back her body had finally arrived. They were in the special fairy cave that had the stone and old runes described around them.

Those runes looked like the runes the fairies were using, but the old records were hidden within them.

"You can touch the first rune. It will analyze Ashley's soul. The second would bring her back from your body and the third..." Maya began to explain the runes one by one. She was slow and careful, so that Tetsuya and Ashley wouldn't feel pressure.

Tetsuya listened to her attentively, thene put his hand on the first rune.
