(A.N. Sorry about no chap yesterday. Had a bunch of homework and then got invited to watch a movie with the family. I have less time in school today so I'll have at least 2 chapters.)
Adam closed his notepad and got prepared. He was still undecided on how he'd handle Riser. Shall he simply walk in and kill him? Will he assassinate him quietly?
Nevertheless, Adam got ready. He checked his mana, he did maintenance on his spear. Finally, he told the girls that he'd be out for a while.
"Who's your date?" Yuno asked. Half because she was interested and half because she wanted to get all the info she could on her. Adam turned around to reply.
"I'm just going out to get some fresh air." He replied. All the girls understood what he was going to do tonight and didn't delay him further.
Adam waltzed outside. His feet took him to the underworld. The path was quite annoying without the use of teleportation, he had to go through the '9 Circles Of Hell' which was just a small room with traps and leading to a staircase, rinse and repeat for the other 8 circles. It did a great job in preventing potential intruders by annoying them to death.
Adam basically danced his way through, dodging all of the traps along the way. Before he was able to access hell, he saw a three-headed dog guarding the entry-way.
Adam instantly knew that this was Cerberus. He was in instant depression that this wasn't the Cerberus from Helltaker. Instead of fighting the dog like you are supposed to, Adam fished through his pocket. He grabbed onto a piece of jerky and threw it in the air. The three heads stumbled over each other to try and devour the small piece of jerky, but kept getting in each other's way.
Adam slipped past while they were fighting. It was like seeing 3 ferrets scrounge for the last little scrap of meat. Seeing that they were still fighting, he fished out 2 more pieces of jerky and threw it at the cute (but menacing) dog. They happily ate their share and licked their lips. It was a cute display, and Adam vowed to himself that he'd film it next time.
He continued into hell. Adam was now in a dark realm directly mirroring the overworld. The shadows squirmed and the street lights flickered.
'This place is way more creepy than heaven' Adam thought. At least there was no lava or fire. He continued through the streets, he didn't need a destination, he was confident that his luck would direct him to his target.
Walking through the decrepit streets, Adam noticed his own house along the way. It had collapsed and been overgrown by plants and weeds that had a black tint to them. They crawled over themselves ever so slightly. Definitely not a place you want to be. He continued down the road.
Adam soon came across a large mansion, the lights were on inside and the shadows didn't dare to disturb the owner's. He had a good feeling that his target was inside. Walking through the door, he found that a party was going on inside, celebrating Riser's engagement.
Riser was currently on a silver throne with several naked and masked women with him. They offered their bodies to him, although Riser was clothed and was the center of attention, everyone could tell what would happen after the party had ended. Seeing that the party was a masked one (with the exception of Riser), Adam saw a table full of masks and took his pick. He put on a black hat with an anonymous mask. He then gained an idea for his plan for Riser.
Adam looked exactly like Jack the Ripper from Record of Ragnarök. His black hat with gears as a ribbon, anonymous mask which housed a monocle underneath, his clothes were reminiscent of a gentleman from the 19th century. With his body complementing his style, Adam was sure that the only thing he missed from being Jack was a mustache and silver hair.
Adam walked up to the silver throne with his cane in hand. The crowd didn't pay attention to the young man. Once he was just below the throne, he stabbed the cane into the ground. The cane didn't enter the ground, instead rebounding.
*SHING*
A mechanical sound resounded throughout the hall. Everyone's attention was now on Adam. He lifted the cane off of the ground to reveal that it was now segmented and only connected by a chain. The cane had now turned into a sharp whip.
He lashed out with a simple attack. Adam chose the best time, the girls were off of Riser while he was taking shots. Although, he was now paying attention to the young man in front of him, he didn't think of him as a threat. The whip tore through Riser's torso, little resistance was offered. Just like Sirzechs, the kill was clean and swift.
(A.N. I know you guys don't like anti-climactic fights, but the mc is OP it's going to be anti-climactic anyway, so I thought it'd be better to make the lead-up to the kill cool. Your thoughts?)
Immediately, the girls who were on the throne with Riser were covered with blood. They screamed as loud as they could in horror. Security flooded in with vigor, their weapons all pointed at the masked man.
Adam stabbed the ground again to make the whip back into a cane. After doing this, he began walking out.
"Stop right there!" The security shouted but they didn't approach him. Every step Adam took towards the exit, the stepped back as well. They weren't stupid, if someone were to kill an important figure like Riser in such a public setting, they definitely had a plan to leave.
Adam simply walked through their formation. One particularly brave guard tried to stab at him with his spear. It harmlessly fazed through Adam through the use of Ultra Instinct. The 'brave' guard immediately passed out, it wasn't every day you see weapons harmlessly pass through someone.
The guards simply watched as Adam kept walking out of the front door. At this time, Riser's family and peerage came through a door, most likely connecting to upstairs. They found all of the security guards staring at one man and with Riser's corpse on the other side of the room. They all instantly understood the situation.
Ravel approached his corpse to mourn, the mother and father joined. The peerage were silently relieved that the bastard was dead, but to keep up appearances they began to fight Adam. The few that could use magic to some capacity fired all of their mana at Adam, the rest sprinted to him to test him in close combat.
Adam knew that he would have to get rid of these people to leave under normal circumstances. However, he prepared for a situation like this. He copied Gray's teleportation circle before coming here. Why didn't he use it to get into the underworld then? Adam simply wanted to have a walk before committing murder.
A golden circle appeared underneath him. The majesty of it instantly captured everyone's eyes. Even the angels couldn't create a teleportation circle that was so eye-catching. Within the second, Adam had disappeared and a note was left in his place.
--------------------------
To Whom It May Concern,
Your welcome, I killed the scum.
:)
-Jack The Ripper
-------------------------
The letter was obviously a taunt towards those who cared for Riser. However, that number was extremely small. The mother and father, although being sad over his death, knew he deserved it. Ravel was the only one who was truly sad, however, soon snapped herself out of it after thinking of all the terrible things he'd done.
Even his family didn't like him. Unlike Adam's harem, Riser's was built on exploitation. Which is why his peerage was extremely pleased to see him gone.
Adam went back home to spend some time with his girls. He was happy to see that Ning'er had come over.
They watched a movie together. It was a movie about re-occurring death called "Happy Death Day". It was passed off as a horror movie but turned more into comedy and action the further it went. Ning'er happily spent the 2hours or so of the movie in Adam's arms. Halfway through, Marika claimed one of his arms for herself and they had a small stare-off before settling into their new positions. The rest went fine, even though the movie wasn't anything special, the way Ning'er and Marika experienced it wasn't something the two girls would forget anytime soon.
