Devil Emperor

3rd POV

Shortly after Crom Cruach left Zeoticus to his own things, he went directly to the cave where Tiamat was cooped up. Among all dragons living on the Draconic Deus, Tiamat was one that was most obsessed with finding, collecting, and guarding her treasures.

Crom Cruach still in his human form stood there, before the entrance in her cave as he looked around the place, sensing dragon.

"Tiamat, you treasure nut come out! Or I will steal your treasures!"

Shouted Crom Cruach with his loudest voice to the entrance of the cave. An enormous amount of Dragon Aura and Draconic Power radiated from him, as he shouted into the cave.

"Bastard you will not steal any of my treasures!"

Shouted back an angry female-sounding voice from the cave.

Soon enough, a huge dragon appeared from the dark cave. It was more than ten meters tall and fifteen meters long, with celestial blue scales that glittered in the light.

"Why have you come here Cruach? I am not interested in you battle-maniac antics."

Grumbled Tiamat as she looked at the Crom Cruach in his human form.

"Not my problem. It was you who told me if I can defeat you, you will be my mate..."

"Just because you are bigger than me doesn't secure your superiority."

Said Tiamat as she spread her wings, and flew at the Crom Cruach with her fastest speed, and breathed an enormous amount of dragon fire at him.

To counter this attack, he enveloped his wings in defensive draconic spells and used them to shield himself from the attack rather easily, as Tiamat's dragon breath wasn't able to put even a scratch on his scales.

"It appears your flame is weaker than those of mix-breed drakes."

Said Crom Cruach. Comparing a dragon to a drake was one of the biggest insults of their kind. Especially the mix-breed. The only worse thing is to call the dragon a lizard, which infuriates them to death, and most would even risk their lives to kill the offender.

As counter-attack he punched at Tiamat with his front legs, sending her flying several tens of meters, taking with her many trees and rocks in the process as her huge body crashed.

While each dragon had innate Draconic Magic that was a special branch of magic that only dragons knew, Crom Cruach likes to battle more in close combat rather than with magic. Though Draconic Magic was probably to most crude, wild, and primitive magic system in Draconic Deus.

Still, never underestimate the Draconic Magic. While it may be wild and primitive, it was so destructive that it outclassed the majority of the magic systems existing in the Draconic Deus. Most of the spells of Draconic Magic were like a tsunami that took everything with it and destroyed it with just brute force.

Before Tiamat could even get up, Crom Cruach already flew high above her, and started kicking her with his back legs, and punching her with his front legs, and occasionally slashing her with his tail.

"AAHHHH!"

Screamed he, as Tiamat out from nothing bit his tail with her strongest bite. The tail was an extremely s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e body part for dragons, devils, or any other creatures that had it.

"I admit... that you are currently stronger."

Said Tiamat with an exhausted voice, as she barely caught her breath.

"I know. Now, do you surrender? I will also give you some treasures for my future mate."

Said Crom Cruach as he pressed his front leg on her neck.

"Treasures?!"

Tiamat's eyes widened in surprise as she nodded with her head.

Afterward, he released her, and both of them changed to human forms. n her human form, she has the appearance of a beautiful woman with straight and long beautiful pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a cold atmosphere that radiates from her beauty. She wore a navy blue skirt, and her entire body is doused with the color of deep blue.

Tiamat was beautiful both in her dragon form and the human form.

"Why did you construct your lair here in the Familiar Forest? Aren't you tired of dealing with those arrogant and stupid bats that often come here?"

Asked Crom Cruach in confusion, not hiding his disgust with most devils, as he thought they were weak.

"Not much... those who dare to do something here just become my food. Especially the ones from Noble Houses, their flesh and blood is especially tasty."

Said Tiamat with dangerous glee in her eyes. Dragons enjoyed eating flesh that was right on magical power, and devils were... so it was not surprising Tiamat would eat some devils from time to time.

"And why are you here in the Underworld Crom Cruach?"

Asked Tiamat.

"Training. I was previously training in the human world, but unfortunately, it is stuffed with the presence of the Church too much for my taste. After Lugh defeated Evil God Balor I have decided to continue my training to reach Heavenly Dragon-Class. After leaving the human world, I have decided to tour the Underworld."

Answered back Crom Cruach as he dusted off his clothes.

"I have also met an interesting fledgling devil, who was brave enough to enter Lifeblood Geass Contract with me. In exchange for occasional help, he will provide me good battles."

Said Crom Cruach.

"So you will probably participate in the war between Heaven, Grigori, and Devils?"

Asked Tiamat as she looked around.

"Yes... personally, I have a great deal of hatred for Heaven and the Church. So I would be causing problems for them, even for free."

Said Crom Cruach.

"Also, don't you want to come with me? I heard that Church and Heaven have countless treasures."

He said with a feral grin.

"Treasures?! Where... I am in."

Exclaimed Tiamat in happiness as she led Crom Cruach to her nest.
