Bab 220: Chapter 220: CHARITY AND GREED
"You've never changed Michael,
You may be strong, but you're as predictable as ever,"
Mammon taunted the panting Michael,
But after a short break of catching his breath,
quickly tried to attack just as well.
The swift motion would have took anyone for sure,
But not in the case of Mammon that point.
Now with rage and reason filling up his heart,
Anyone may try, but not one could dare just make him stop.
Mammon quickly dodged him,
And used his wings to push him back.
His powerful flap sent Michael up to the air,
Where he used his own wings to zoom and try again.
"I really don't know why you have to drag my family into our feud,
If you hate me so much, why didn't you kill me first?"
"You must be forgetting the divine rules,
Because as far as I remember,
You know the reason too.
An angel should not forget his duties,
But you forgot yours, and left us completely.
You abadoned everything for the world,
And saved too little time for the Lord."
Michael quickly shot Mammon a spear,
Which the devil only blocked casually.
His speed was undescribable that point,
And than his fight with Lluming,
He've grown smarter than before.
He didn't rush things too much when he's not sure,
Wanting to finish Michael, once and for all.
Michael quickly grew tired of renewing his barrier every time it melts to gold,
And though he hated to admit it,
His palms became quite cold.
He is draining too much energy in a single fight,
This...could have been the result of his fight with Satan.
He shouldn't have poured so much when he was angry, huh?
Now he felt that he should have remembered that.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Tired already while the war is young?
That's truly, too pitiful I can't-"
But before he could say anything more,
He heard the wind stop and came a vibrant glow.
Mammon of course, was able to dodge,
But it sure did took him by surprise.
He recieved a little scrape,
But that was still quite strange.
Had he been cocky again?
How dare he failed to detect?
...
Gabriel quickly sighed as he had missed,
Despite using the high tower as an advantage.
He quickly went down to a lower level to take a closer aim,
But since Mammon already knew, his cover won't be the same.
"I now know where you're hiding,
And you sure did made a mistake.
Have you forgotten little angel?
I can touch anything, and it'll break."
His eyes moved to the tower completely,
And despite Michael's efforts to catch up with him,
The devil reached the tower's wall first,
And it quickly melted by the touch of his fingers.
Michael yelled in horror as he looks above,
Wondering if Gabriel had been killed or not.
But because of their now close distance,
Mammon quickly turned behind.
Now, all it takes is a few seconds for Mammon,
And Michael, would have been all done for.
He quickly stretches his hands to reach the angel,
And it was...almost as fast as a blink.
Michael felt too stunned to react,
And as an involuntary movement, closed his eyes.
Than a stinging pain however,
He instead, heard a clanging sound.
He opened his eyes and was surprised,
Seeing Asmo's chains covering Mammon's arms.
Asmo had changed his appearance to that of an angel,
And because Mammon was too absorbed in his fight,
Didn't noticed his plot well.
Asmodeus quickly reverted back to his true form,
And in just a few seconds, appeared a demon dog.
The dog quickly searched the puddle of gold for the angel,
Who had been suffocated but not dead.
Michael quickly helped Gabriel first,
Before going back to Asmo.
But Asmodeus was only the fifth after all,
And in comparison to Mammon's strength, he wasn't better either.
The third strongest demon managed to break free with little struggle,
And now, he looked at Asmo with wrath,
"Never thought you'd be a traitor, or fight unfair."
Asmodeus did not flinched and kept releasing chains,
Buying enough time, for Michael to try again.
He attacks Mammon with concentrated beams everytime his arms were bounded,
But not even the chains, could stop him from moving.
Just as when they thought he'd be too much,
Lluming quickly shielded Asmo, from the upcoming attack.
Sellena shielded Michael on the other hand,
Since their barriers, were from Uriel's ever-lasting heart.
The shield proved to hold well with Mammon's fingers,
But Sellena was still truly, a beginner.
Her barrier could not help but flicker,
Hinting her fear, in face of the monster.
Asmo quickly told Lluming to switch positions,
But Lluming complained it would be a wacky decision.
"The moment we take a wrong step, Mammon would have won,
We can't make a risk. We're just too close."
It didn't help that Mammon had four arms,
And it proved to be able, blocking their advance.
Sellena's field was flickering more often,
And she could have been touched many times, if not for the replacement of Michael.
The scene made Asmo even more nervous,
Anxious that his precious lady would turn to gold.
"She's scared. We need to do something about it."
"We're all scared, Asmo. We're on the face of instant death."
Lluming reminded Asmodeus as he tried to strengthen his barrier.
"Now than worry about her, why don't you try and bound his arms further?"
But Asmodeus couldn't help but look at Sellena,
Who was visibly distracted by his sudden arrival.
("Oh, that's right, she may have thought I was dead.
Still, I need to make her focus, so we can help.")
Asmodeus quickly flew, breaking out of Lluming's barrier,
"Oi! You fool! What do you think you're doing without protection!"
Asmodeus smiles with sinister intent,
And Mammon's eyes widened, knowing what was to happen.
And since Michael had saw this time and time again,
He quickly warned Lluming and Sellena, not to take another step.
With much precision and fuel injected to his craft,
Asmodeus summoned a thousand burning chains as he laughed.
He laughter confuses Sellena so much,
Much more, since he's bleeding a lot.
"He's laughing to hide the pain he's feeling,
The hundred chains that precisely targets one person, is quite draining."
Lluming says as they watch Asmodeus suffer,
But to Sellena, it won't stop her further.
She quickly closed her eyes and focused,
And in her sheer will and hope,
managed to make a slab that rose.
"Sellena? Is that-?"
Lluming asked, quite shocked.
"Since when have you awakened-"
But before he could finished, Sellena hopped.
Asmo's chains were slowly being melted,
And well, Mammon was trying to change the subject of target.
Asmo's vision was being blurred by his own blood,
And thinking he had made a mistake, internally apologized.
But the fingers did't reached him,
And before Asmo knew it, Sellena was shielding him.
The short while of confusion and shock was enough,
For Michael and Lluming to do their jobs.
Michael smiled and threw divine spears,
As Lluming threw a powerful light than blinded him.
And since Sellena's shield no longer flickers,
The light did not affect her and Asmodeus at all.
The onyx eyed man could not help but smile,
His wife had grown stronger by a mile.
"So all it took for you to get so serious is the thought of me, dying?"
"Of course, I love you, you dummy."
Mammon was shocked when the chains now fully covered his body,
Except for his hands, which were left out, exposed completely.
Lluming then takes out his sword,
And was about to cut them off.
But before he could further move,
Came the interverence of several monsters.
"Oh, come on..."
...
Michael quickly shielded Lluming the moment one attacked,
As Lluming continued to sever Mammon's arms despite the shock.
It felt surprising however, as the contact with Mammon's hands melted his sword,
"He...it seemed that he could do so much more!"
"What? Wait, what?"
Mammon then laughed maniacally as he revealed his plan.
"Now, I've got you in the place that I want."
Mammon bites his lips and let the blood pour down on the chains,
As he mockingly stands up, free yet again.
"Ah, I really admire Azazel now...
For spreading the cursed that turned to be such a blessing, somehow..."
...
Beelzebub covers his ears as he hears the chaos ensued,
Wondering if he was needed to also distribute.
He bites his arm in frustration,
Hoping that he wouldn't have to go,
But the knock on his door,
Was dreadening to know.
"Sir Beelzebub, you are requested by Lord Lucifer,"
"I...I don't know.
I'm not in the best condition."
"It is urgent, Seventh Lord,
If you need something, I can get it for you."
"No, I don't need anything,
Just...just go, I want to be alone."
He couldn't help himself though,
As he was able to smell her from the other side.
Living meat, sents his nose in delight,
And if he fails to control it,
He'll also eat her up in no time.
The she-devil sent, knocked again.
But when there was no response, she was tempted to make it open.
After all, she was even more afraid if Lucifer's orders were not delivered,
So she tried to knock again, this time more louder.
And yet...no one opened the door.
So in a desperate attempt to find out the matter,
She forcefully opened it on her own power.
And, well...the door did opened.
Only to reveal, a missing Master.

tigerpaws More chapters soon! Also, Mammon's abilities can also now be adjusted to his liked intensity.
His blood can also serve as the catalyst since Azazel's experiments. He can control his blood to be concentrated to a specific part of his body so the curse can gather. But not all of his blood can melt things. It is only if he manages to put the needed concentration on it. Thank you!
