The Leverage WARNING: Violence against mamono!

=Chapter 1: Penculos's sense of humor.=

Walking through the countryside Florandus Vindivicus travaled towards a town that according to rumors had been turned into a devil bug breeding nest. While curious to investigate something about this day just simply felt wrong. It was merely three minutes pondering this strange feeling before he heard a noise behind him. At a distance of twenty meters behind him came a werewolf running up to him carrying a satchel. Holding out his hand he commanded. "Werewolf, stop! Sit down, now!" The werewolf immediately stopped at the command and sat down on the ground slightly intimidated, she then remembered the message and opened the satchel. Giving a piece of parchment she cuddled up to the ranger asking for a reward, she received a hand playfully going through her hair and a kiss on her cheek. While the werewolf became happy, the ranger did not. The parchment was a warning issued out when the family of a ranger is in danger, a member of the order (an extremist religious group) had stopped by his family home and had saw the mamono gathering there. The following day the location had been quarantined by a large band of order mages who were trained to battle lilim specifically. His family couldn't get out, but luckily the order knights couldn't get inside the protective barrier and exposing themselves to the lilim. a second letter was included with the first and was signed by an order official that hat used a recognizable order signature. "This letter is addressed to the Major of the newly founded heretical monster friendly town wich we have layed a quarantine on. Dear major, It is with great joy that I Penculos tinker have found your town in midst of it's makings before it's heretical citizens could have turned the surrounding area into yet another Demon realm abomination. I will personally see to it that every demonic energy infused member of your town is eradicated. Being the major that you are I presume you will return shortly followed by one of our blades or spells prematurely ending your life. I give you two choices, either return the message that you agree with the executions or lets see.. kill the Demon Lord. I know you are only human so for my amusement you will be given one month the time to complete said task while I watch your citizens starve from hunger in their small enclosed town." The ranger set off for the nearest church.

=Chapter 2: A rowdy visitor.=

The ranger ran into a nearby village where a dark priest held her services, upon heering the request to get to the demon realm the dark priest cheered. She dragged him to a nearby succubus den and explained about a soon new resident of the demon realm, using their combined power they happily created a rift to the corresponding realm. Stepping through the ranger found himself inside a city with a red glowing sky and couples fornicating in the streets. Countless times was he motioned or asked to come over by the residents, but staying to long meant incubization so there was no time to waste with pleasantries. going to the nearest citygate he met a dullahan guard who's sword raised with the non-incubi presence that came close to her. "You, guard. Which way is it to the Demon Lord's castle?" Hearing the command the guard held in a giggle. "Are you one of those heroes that is going to challenge her?" It was a short amusement as the ranger's blade appeared inches front her neck, the dullahan stepped back slightly surprised. "Drawing a blade in full view, fine. If you want to have your behind firmly beaten then I will let you get right to it." The guard gave him a description of a week's long walk to the main capital. reaching the capital was no small feat as monster along the way tried to snatch this spirit energy generating young man at every mile. News spread quickly of a challenger tot he Lord of the realm, the challenger incapacitated any who tried their charm magic on him. With the demonic energy eating away at his self-control he became more and more unfocused, resorting to cutting straight through bounty hunter torso's and limbs instead of simply their main arteries and fighting through whole groups instead of sneaking past them. arriving at the Demon lords palace two dark valkyries advanced towards him only to feel arrows strike their unarmored flesh. passing them he cut through a dullahan guard's arm without even uttering one word. With the target locked and the demonic energy clouding his mind Florandus cleaved himself through enemy after enemy, using his ice picks to grab and throw abandoned shields as saucers. Making his way through he had seen no lilim to his surprise, with a fast hit the man severed a lock from the door leading to the throne room. The castle of the demon lord was like any other, keep going straight and you will find the king. Throwing open the throne room doors the ranger barged in, looking around for a living being when the sound of calm laughter echoed through the room. Before him stood a huge throne made with gold and red velvet and the fountains tot he side ran with lava instead of water. The doors slammed shut behind him and faded into non-existence.

=Chapter 3: Clashing weapons.=

A seemingly young woman walked into the room thought a door that appeared and disapeared after having done it's duty. The ranger quickly shot an arrow directly at her throat, but flew aflame and bounced off before it Hit its target. The wooden bow itself rotted away in his hands turning to mush. "Oh my.. how a boy you are. That is not how I imagined our first encounter." She chuckled as she conjured a bow dropping it on the ground, then she was swallowed by dark mist and appeared behind the ranger. Drawing his blade Florandus slashed at her only to see his sword shatter inches before it reached. The dark maiden conjured up a sword with a very similar design to his fathers, she stuck it in the stone before her feet and calmly stepped closer. The young man, dazzled with his ineffective weapons and confused by the demonic energy dashed back to create some space as he took out his ice picks on both hands. The demon Lord or better Demon Queen conjured up two demon forged ice picks as well. "For the energy to affect your mind so much, it seems we will have to speak through actions.." The woman ran up and started throwing one blow after another wich was countered by the ranger. Florandus swiped at her feet, at her neck, anything he could hit while avoiding his opponent's weapons. The two fought effortlessly which surprised the ranger. The Demon Queen was powerful, none could deny that, but for her to be able to use weapons with just as much mastery was astounding. The battle didn't restrict itself to just the entrance as the two made each other back up from time to time. Using an opportunity the ranger managed to hit the woman on the cheek, making only a shallow cut and shattering the weapon used. The Demon lord backed off feeling the inflicted cut and the blood that came from it. "Ouch.. Honey, that was very naughty of you. You aren't allowed to hurt your granny." She raised her hands and with a shockwave of energy blasted the ranger across the room into the wall shattering his other ice pick. Florandus scuffled to his feet and drew the dagger in her direction, with a confused look he questioned. "Granny?" With another gesture from her hand the ranger was swept off his feet and thrown onto the staircase. He felt pain throughout his whole body, but still tried to crawl over to one of the lava fountains. The Demon Queen stepped up to him, taking out a Demonsteel dagger from the lava and holding it to his neck still glowing from the heat. with a slim smile she seated herself ontop of him holding the dagger close enough for Florandus to feel the heat of hell itself without getting burned. "Don't you call that lilim living with your mother 'Aunty'? That girl is my daughter, technically that makes me your sweet sweet grandmother. I honestly wonder why my honeybun hasn't turned you into an incubi yet, do You know why?" She grinned menacingly at the ranger, holding the dagger closer as its core temperature lowered. Florandus Grabbed hold of the hand wielded with the dagger trying to push it closer to the demon Queen who in response slapped him with her free hand. "Do not insult me further, why would you possibly come to murder me? What motive do you have, a mere human like you while having the daughter of mine as an aunt?" The young man took a second to recover from that slap as It left a red imprint on his cheek, then he took out the letter he had received from Penculos. The woman took the letter and read it through, throwing away the dagger she layed down on her grandson in exhaustion exclaiming a sarcastic sigh. "Why didn't you show me this in the first place?"

=Chapter 4: Good news everyone!=

After removing demonic energy from her grandson to clear his mind the woman raised her hand making all previously excising doors in the room appear again, multiple opened to a crack with lilim peering inside the room. Assuming the battle had stopped twelve lilim entered the room gathering around the two combatants. "Mother, did you mind warp him into joining us?" asked a lilim meekly as another cut in. "I don't think so, he's still human." The group of girls became noisy as they inspected, prodded and cuddled with the ranger who did his best at pushing them away from himself. The Demon Queen snipped her fingers, silencing the whole group. "Daughters of mine, say hello to your nephew here." The lilim stared in confusion for a moment before they blurted out the name of the ranger's aunt. "Indeed, our nephew has come here to ask for our help in freeing our in-direct family members. I have already provided him with weapons." The scattered demonsteel weapons all flew to the ranger who accepted them. "And now you must help him too, I hope you girls haven't neglected your magic combat lessons.." A few lilim laughed nervously. After that the whole group teleported to the residence that housed Florandus family.

=Chapter 5: Tinker's love for toys.= It had been half a month after Penculos had distributed the letter and the opinions of the inpatient mages became more and more a topic of discussion. Many thought the so-called major would never show up and wanted to start the extermination already. tinker however enjoyed seeing the orc and lilim visit their little vegetable garden each day seeing it shrink smaller and smaller. The order mages argued with him why they had to wait with the extermination when the group of lilim, the ranger and the demon queen appeared inside the sphere holding the family inside. The orc mother was about to go outside the house to celebrate her son comming to help when she was stopped by the aunt. Outside the house the lilim started their incantations and instantly broke the barrier, following was a barrage of fireballs and ice spikes perforating the mages that had made the shield. Their lifeless burned bodies slumped to the ground with the remaining mages and lilim breaking out in a full on magic battle. The aunty lilim, Vivy the baphomet and her witches that had been trapped in the barrier now focused all their magic in protecting the buildings while lightning, fire and other arcane powers bombarded them. Avoiding most mages the ranger headed straight for tinker, drawing his bow for a quick shot. Tinker however laughed menacingly as out of nowhere a hundred stone golems rose from the ground and joined the fight. "So you are the heretical swine that governs this pile of dung! Don't worry for a quick battle, I made these golems myself and they won't die easily! I have waited so long for something to test my pretties on." Having killed most order mages the lilim started shooting down the golems, but for each golem they smashed two golems took their place. Penculos seemed to get more excited by the second as his laughter became louder and more diabolical. Florandus started to get exhausted as he split on after the other golem and each time he tried to use his bow one of the golems would leap in front of Penculos and receive the hit. "My pretties, they are so wonderful!" Tinker exclaimed as he wove more magic into the earth creating more golems. Noticing it was of no use the ranger left the golems and ducked between them disappearing into the masses. Suddenly a golem next to him started attacking other golems, surprised Penculos looked at the traitorous fighting golem. The demon queen chuckled as she douched the army of golems in demonic energy. discovering a heart-shaped rune the mad mage went furious. "No, no, no! Stop stealing my pretties! Y-you vile heretics can't have my pretties! I will send them to you, but that will be on MY terms!" A large part of the army ignored the lilim and started heading straight for the demon queen, not caring while they were largely smashed in the process. Some where about to grab the queen's head when the whole army stopped. Penculos started to shiver intensely, his body twisted and fractured as he felt a dagger tear its way into the back of his skull and cutting apart his brain tissue. The mage started puking blood from his mouth, in an unnerving tone half-chocking in his own bodily fluids Tinker screamed. "Don't take my pretties!" His blood-soaked robe started to tear as his hands shined with intense magic. The next moment every earth golem exploded in a hale of stone fragments flying at high velocity. Floranndus body was almost torn apart as well standing in the middle of a group of golems protecting their master. Both Tinker and the ranger fell to the ground, one dead and one very close to death.

=Chapter 6: The aftermath=

It felt only like a second later that Florandus opened his eyes, seeing Vivy healing his body. He layed on his own bed in the family home. "Vivy?" "Kyaa!" The baphomet fell of her chair from the fright. "Oni-chan? You're awake?!" The small goatgirl got up and kissed him on the lips. "Ah, I was so worried. You've been sleeping for a week." The young man got up in a hurry. "a week?! Where are the others?" Vivy opened the door and ran out, seconds later his mother, his aunt, Vivy, ayla and the Demon queen entered the room. everyone was about to join him in bed for a family hug when Florandus interrupted their action. "What happened to that earth mage we fought?" His aunt sat on the bed. "H-he and his whole army committed suicide, do you remember all those stones showering your bodies? Luckily the weapons on your back blocked most of the fragments, otherwise you would have died." The ranger chuckled nervously. "I see.." His grandmother jumped on the bed and playfully smothered him in her breasts. "Aren't you going to thank someone? Someone being your super attractive granny?" Florandus pushed her off. "Yeah, yeah. thank you.. granny." That last part came out slightly muffled which made the women laugh. "Say honeybun, why haven't you turned him into an incubus yet." She bluntly asked the lilim. The orc began to giggle behind her back. "Honeybun, hehehe." The lilim's face turned red. "Mom! I-it's just that toying with him is more fun that way.."

After a week of recuperation for the ranger had passed, the land around the house restored and the Demon Queen back to her realm, the ranger once again continued his travels.
