"I knew this would happen, Enough! Baphomet, Arsene is not welcome within my hells, nor is his soul ready to face any level of hell."I coldly said, gazing down at Arsene, shivering like a little girl. Snapping my finger, I teleported him from my sight, returning him to Midgard, where he belonged.
"Asmodeus! you have a lot of nerve." Baphomet bellowed, causing the void to crack as he appeared in front of me. His fiery hot breath blasting into my face. "He is my fucking Apostle. Not your toys, within the nines."
"You are still no match for me Baphomet, enough of these games I came to you regarding the Horseman Gates." I coldly said as Baphomet froze in shock. Taking a step back away from his ragged breathing, I nodded.
"You know I have no interest in those damn gates, but I did hear you somehow managed to find one of them recently. I thought you had no interest?" He asked as I turned to a small-looking boy in the distance. A hollow hue was present as the boy stared off into nothingness, seemingly not even aware of his surroundings.
"Azeroth, you came as well? No matter, this may pertain to you as well. The Court of Nox is making an expedition into the Abyss within a few years, and I want you two to join."
Flaring his nostrils, Baphomet snorted, "Do you think we wish to commit suicide? You and Levi were lucky only to meet a fifth-dimensional being but did you think we will be that lucky? Those damn gates are a death wish, and those foolish humans and myths are stepping into death."
"He is correct, Asmodeus, but I didn't come to you for that. I am looking for the Origin Crystal," said Azeroth with an innocent grin.
Arching my brow, I snorted, "You know; I cannot give you that. Why bother asking?" I coldly asked, staring daggers into the seemingly innocent child. It was a rule not created by me but rather those of Origin. The Origin Crystal must be held by the King of this dimension or by the ruler of Heaven."
"I do not wish to have it Asmodeus but rather study it. The Origin Crystal were meant to hold the omniverse in place. Offering protection from other verses, but it cracked when 'they' attacked ending our war with the Angels and other Mythologies."
"Ended the war?" I laughed with disdain, "Please, it was a slaughter. We had no equal aside from the angels, and they were on their last legs. We didn't even participate when they attack, and I don't plan on having our kind intervene when they return. That will be left to Arsene. Whether they take over this Verse or not isn't my concern as we will always reign supreme."
Lowering his head, Azeroth frowned, pondering over something as Baphomet slapped his small shoulder, causing space to crack, "You know you can't deal with Asmodeus like that. How about we help that little daughter of his. I heard she is to be wed to my apostle. Why not give her one of your runes in exchange. " Baphomet roared, bringing a smile to my face.
Not many people knew this, but he was one of the smartest people within the omniverse. It's said his knowledge within circles rival the original bael. However, this was only from the standpoint of this dimension.
"I am more than willing to do that. The rune of Azeroth is a legendary emblem that could support the very heavens. Even I would need time to break out that damn Illusion." I lightly said as Azeroth gazed up at me with a cold gleam.
"Are you sure?" He questioned with a meticulous frown, "My emblem can only exist for one cycle before I have to inscribe it again. Will it really be that use full to Lilith?"
Chuckling, I nodded, "It's fine, just visit the Ninth Hell when it's prepared. Now back to the Gates. I was bringing this up mainly as a way to put that little court in its place. They have just recently annoyed me, and I wish for you two to bring down their court a couple of leagues."
"AHAHAHAHAA," Baphomet roared with laughter as a massive screen that showed the counsel of Nox appeared. Watching them squirm like worms with each other, not even aware of our spying, Bahoment continued, "Asmodeus is giving us a mission. HAHA, Why not go to your Kings. We..."
"Because Baphomet, Azeroth's rune is not enough. You two are like brothers, so if you don't help me, I can't help him." I coldly whispered, turning Baphomet silent as he glared daggers into me. A ruthless ray of light that consumed all of the heavens flashed as I could feel demonic laws fleeing in fear at the king of beast.
With a sinister glance at Azeroth, he snorted, "Fine, but Asmodeus, you had best be careful. Should you ever use my relationship with Azeroth as a tool again. I will kill all your love ones." he lightly said, his eyes turning cold and indifferent as he vanished before my gaze.
"Agreed, Asmodeus. Do not ensure a war. Your hells will not survive our wrath. The only reason we remain on good terms is big sis Levi. where it not for her, we would have slaughtered all the legions of hell. "
Chuclining at Azeroth and Bahamoet, I vanished, appearing deep within my lair. Gazing at the aqua blue goddess laying upon my bed, I grinned," It worked, but why send me to do your dirty work? You three are quite close to one another? Was there a point to this little game?"
"Maybe... We needed the Court of Nox to back off. Those damn gates will be the death of us. Have you found the Pale gate yet?" Levi lazily asked, tilting her head towards me beckoning to me with her fingers.
"No...but I think it's in the eastern cluster. Lilith is close to it." I lightly said as she smiled, holding my horns as she pulled herself up. A seductive smile filled her lips as her breath slowly became labored.
Silver scales slowly began to rise from her skin as she kissed my cheeks, slowly tracing down my body, "Speaking of, how is that little succubus doing. I heard her meeting with Ezra went up in flames...Literally."
Rolling my eyes, I snorted, pushing her down to the bed, "Stop talking about the kids. They are friends now... I think. It ended on a confusing note, but you know damn well what I want." I ruthless said, ripping the clothes from her perfect body.
"~hmm~ I~won~last~time~ think you can keep it up?" She teased, shuddering as she turned around, wagging her behind at me, "Same deal from last time?"
"Damn it, you know I hate when you make fun of me." I yelled, slapping her ass as she moaned, "You got lucky! but how about we spice up this deal."
"Please, I had your ass cumming within thirty seconds." Levi yelled, spreading her cheeks as she beckoned, "shall we see? who pops first?"
Clenching my teeth, I suddenly smiled, "Fine, but if I win, I want Ezra to visit Arsene. If I lose..."
"I get to peg you." she suddenly yelled with a lustful smile that had me standing there like a statue. Frozen in a mass of confusion.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear that properly."
"Levi-Chan will get to peg her husband." She cutely repeated, twirling her ass around. "Are you not a lord of Lust?"
A thick vein suddenly gripped my forehead as I head her cheeks firmly, causing her to quiver in pleasure. A maddening gleam flashed through my eyes as she nodded, "Yes... Just like that. Tear me up, Asmo, or else I will tear yours up."
"What the hell...What in the actual hell is going on?" I yelled, gazing at the massive orgy of man and beast. Vomiting my stomach's content from the force teleportation, I arose, kicking some male whore that was licking my toes.
A depraved, almost insane light shone from his eyes as he suddenly lunged at me with hunger, akin to a wild lion. Sidestepping, my arm flashed as spear light flickered, sending his head high over the crimson moon above, causing blood like rain to fall over this sinful world.
"Who the hell saved me...No, why did Baphomet say I was his apostle..." Clenching my chest, I suddenly fell to my knees as my armor vanished from my body. Gazing at the pentagram on my chest, I could feel a powerful force rushing inside of me as I gritted my teeth.
"Bael...What is this?" I asked, hoping I didn't need to enter the halls of Blood just to hear an answer.
"I will tell you, only if you kill everyone here." He coldly said, causing a chill to fill my mind. This mark had only appeared once I killed someone. Was this a trap, or does he just need souls?
"You have ten seconds." He said, releasing a burst of deranged laughter watching me squirm. A ruthless gleam flashed through my eyes as I made up my mind. I needed to kill to get stronger, and I am now branded, and I could not do anything about it at this moment.
Akin to a bolt of lightning, I blasted my way through the orgy, slaughtering over a hundred men and women. Nevertheless, despite my slaughter and the various organs of man and beast raining over the forest, they did not seem to mind as they kept on fucking till their death. Even when I plunged my arm through someone's heart, their hips never stopped till the light faded from his eyes.
"What the hell did Bahamut do?" I asked, looking around at the hundreds of bodies that filled the snowy field. The metallic scent of blood quickly filled my nose as I faded into the darkness.
"That looks to be the Work of Baphomet. He has blessed you with his mark. It cannot harm you, but rather it grants you one of his special abilities. As of which one it is, you will have to test it out, but the Mark of Baphomet cannot in any way hurt you. It could mind rape you, but that's about it." Bael said as I paused, trembling in anger.
"...so you were just trolling me," I asked as he burst into laughter. "Son of a bitch."
Noticing the souls, I killed still within me. I rolled my eyes. Hurrying back to Lisa and the others. The crimson moon had all but faded as I returned to the carriage. Looking at their sleeping faces, I sighed, knowing all this was Baphomet's plan.
He seemed like a complete brute, but that man was meticulous. Whomever that person was, he must have been stronger or at least the same level as Baphomet. Taking a deep breath, a ruthless gleam shone from my eyes.
"Sloth...I have been far too relaxed recently." Looking down at my recent toy, I scoffed, "Looks like our game will have to end soon."
Drawing Dragonsbane, I left for the remainder of the night. Similar to a night stalker, I roamed the eerie night staining the forest in crimson. It didn't matter whether they were innocent or bandits. Everything I saw had the honor of witnessing Dragonsbane.
There was no joy, for this was not for my pleasure. I needed to start growing, and I needed to do it now. Pushing the demonic mantra to its limit, my eyes glimmered with crimson light in the midnight glow.
Moving like the wind and thunder, I covered hundreds of kilometers before the sun was slowly beginning to rise. Looking down at my bloodied armor, black flames arose, disintegrating the various dirt as I followed the sent of the only humans in the area.
Within a matter of moments, I returned to Lisa and the others as they slowly arose. Turning their gazes to me, I ignored them all before sitting in the lotus position. Pushing my Soulforce out, I entered a state of enlightenment regarding the many Dao's I studied.
Days and weeks began to pass as I followed my same behavior. I had long surpassed the thousand mark reaching almost two thousand, and my body had finally stopped oozing black impurities, but I could still feel my body changing.
"We are here." Lisa suddenly shouted with a happy smile, "Thank the stars. I'm tired of sleeping in this damn carriage."
Pushing my body up, I sent a glance towards everyone before leaping off the carriage. "You all go ahead but do not speak a word that I am with you. I can find information faster by myself."
"Are you sure?" Rave questioned with a hesitant expression, "While this city is small compared to Hallr, it's still pretty big."
With a kind smile benight my mask, I turned away, waving my arm, "I'll see you later." I said, vanishing in the snowy plane. They did not need to witness the mess I was going to make.
The Laws a Devil needed to follow were quite simple. As long as you pulled the trigger, you would receive all the souls. With a vicious expression, I eyed the little city basking in morning light with a cold smile.
Finding a secluded area. I sat down, waiting for night to descend. Feeling the cool sensation of snow against my skin, I slowly became lost before I felt Mother calling my name.
Pushing the snow off my body, I gazed up at the moon before blending with the Darkness. Moving like a bolt of lightning, I shot high over the heavily guarded gates without being caught. With the winds benight my feet, I glided onto a rooftop, looking down at everyone.
So this is the City of Sarem...What the hell is going on? There is a heavy essence of Qi in the air. I can sense multiple people that use Qi of heaven and earth. But none are at the level of Saint or higher. So it's a city of sorcerors how quaint.
Blending into the shadows, I shot towards the weakest qi signature. Marking him or her as my first target. I didn't really have much information to go on, but I bet the murder that happened recently was due to a sorcerer. The dossier I was given only had the brutal scene, nothing more for me to go off on.
