"Are you good?"
Asked Rize who step back from Asmodeus who was suddenly in a state of immense rage.
And in fear of becoming a target to release his frustration upon.
Rize wasted no time to back up even more just to be sure she didn't get bitch slap again, it was strangely painful when it was from him.
However, the silence gave rise to an eery feeling of unwanted suspense from within Rize.
Her distance was a couple of meters away, however despite it being a whole ten minutes since Asmodeus went into this state of rage.
She knew neither he nor she could stay like this forever, so she breathed out while sighing as she walks slowly toward the enrage Asmodeus, after all, she couldn't die either way.
So resolving herself, and preparing for a lethal blow from Sir Lucas in the worst-case senior she said to him.
"Hey... Earth to the spawn of hell, do you copy?"
Asmodeus remain silent as his whispers of hate, anger, and pure insanity leaves his mouth.
Coming out, and projecting itself to the world like a curse.
"dammm... human scum, I swear when I find you I will rip you to pieces, put you back together, and rip you into even smaller pieces, I will murder your family, crush your dreams, and torment your soul, using all of my creativity, I will rip you... break you... burn you... slice you... crush and mutilate you on a conceptual level, you will be so gone from yourself reality will be a lie, and self-existence will be your greatest fear... suffer... suffer... sufferSuFfEr&%@@!#@!???...
Eventually, his words of hate soon become incomprehensible to understand, it wasn't till another five minutes later that it seem like he calm down by himself as he look at Rize from afar, as she ask.
"Are you good now?"
Asmodeus looks at her directly into her eyes, and he sighed and said. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
**Sighhhh!**
"Never been better, to be honest?"
"Want to talk about it."
Rize asks seeing some issues on Asmodeus's part, however, Asmodeus replied kind of explain a lot of things, about his violent behavior at times.
"I and the Khrist family have issues dating back long before I ascended to divinity, and became the Demon King, I hate them just as much as I hate my father, however as you might guess I didn't have power like them, even now I am amazed by just how powerful they are even on the supernatural side of things, I wish for nothing more but their downfall."
Said Asmodeus in a cold tone continuing his rant.
"They took everything from me... well everything that I have left at that time that could have mattered, but enough talk, all I care for now is an incompressible amount of violence that can only be explained through action, and action alone."
Once again a strange silence happens between the two, and once again Rize was the one that tried to break it, as she said.
"It seems like you had a rough childhood."
"..."
Surprisingly though instead of his usual responses, Rize was answered with even more silence regarding the statement, as he turn his back on her and said.
"Rize... Please prepare yourself for our leave, we have exactly three hours before I warp gate us to the chosen destination, whatever last-minute preparation you have to do, get it done quickly, and I know this might be sudden, but you have my permission to roam free beyond the 100 meters radius, don't follow me, there is something I must do."
All Rize could have done at that time knowing that the situation was hopeless was nodded her head in confirmation, as she said.
"Yes... I will see to it... I guess I will see you later then."
And like that Asmodeus left the room, clearly not in a good mood, as the mere mention of the Khrist family put him in a bad mood, however, one thing was clear from the short interactions and hollowness in his eyes.
During this trip, the world will know the name Asmodeus Morningstar, and the mark that he leaves behind on this wretched world will be a symbol of fear that will be deeply etched on those who bares witness to it.
His eyes were like a hollow void, or a mirror to an abyss, whatever shred of humanity he had left in his soul, if there was any, to even begin with, our reason or concept of sympathy or mercy, was now gone, upon a cruel reminder.
That was what Rize felt from Asmodeus.
**Creak... Shut!**
The sound of the door slowly creaking as it shut behind Asmodeus could be heard, and like that his figure disappeared into the Dark.
Rize sighed at this, she was just answering a simple question and upon Asmodeu's orders, even reminiscing about her past, in the days when she was still partially human.
And yet she feared she has accidently awakened something even darker, crueler, and way more twisted and terrifying than the current Asmodeus, to think that the mere mention of the Khrist family name could have caused such an effect on Asmodeus.
It really made her curious though, what exactly has the Khrist family done to Asmodeus to make him like this, there was also the question about his father as well, why exactly did Asmodeus hate him?
All of these questions made Rize curious about the origins of the man called Asmodeus Morningstar, but sadly to say, those answers would have to be left for another day, after all, she only has a couple more hours before Asmodeus warps himself balls deep within the enemy territory of one of the world strongest human, and families.
Rize pondered at the thought even she couldn't defeat Michael.
Much less scratch him at her full power, she sighed at this, but yet she felt a little Pity for Asmodeus, as she scratch her head as if to decide something, and right after she said while stomping her leg in anger and disappointment.
"Awhaaa... Goddamit... Did the demonic bastard and unmannerly King really grow that much on me, since I met him, ahhh... Sigh, how infuriating, curse my soft heart for good-looking and tall men, but even so he hurting inside I can feel, those eyes of hate and insanity remind me of... her
"Ahhhhhh... Just great, I fear that I might have an annoying crush on the bastard, who would have thought that the absence of a man for the past 880 years of my life would make me such an easy woman... For fuck sake Rize get a grip on yourself, Sigh this mission is a dangerous one, I don't know what his beef is with the Khrist family, but one thing is for sure, Asmodeus cant defeat Michael as is right now...
"SIGH!!! I guess it's time, to finally unseal...
"Tiamat."
Said the voice of a familar girl who has haunted Rize for years, as she floats above her head and around her body, teasing her while saying.
"Would you look at that, someone so down bad for excitement in bed that you are thinking of using my sword, are you sure, the last time you use it, you destroyed the previous Rank 8th, Excell."
"Shut up, that is your doing Rize."
"Hahaha... Maybe you are right, but for all, you know I might just be a fragment of your imagination you ungrateful child, stop making excuses for your wrongdoings."
"You're the last one I want to hear those words from."
Responses Rize in a hateful tone. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
"I have been dead ever since you inherit my name and title as the witch of Arsenal, I am just the guilt that lies deep in you, haunting you, the restraint you put on yourself, tell me student of mine, when was the last time you use my amazing magic to the fullest."
"..."
"That's right the day when you betrayed me for them, you are just as wicked you ungrateful child, but that's ok, though, because now I can relish in the fact of your ultimate demise, at the very least of your mental suffering when you use my precious Tiamat."
The voice said as it continues to haunt Rize even more whispering in her ears.
However, Rize replied ignoring the voice, as she said out loud.
"Tsk shut up you goddamn ghost, you will not get your way because I am not going to give you the time of the day, I regret nothing that I did, you had to be stopped you Genocidic maniac."
"Oh, intimidating... Very intimidating, I almost cared for your opinion, well it doesn't matter, you know the rules and so do I, so go ahead and use Tiamat to your heart's content, oh treacherous student of mine hehehe."
"Tsk."
Rize didn't reply, but with her magic back, she could now use a weapon she seal years ago, however, she needs to travel to a very dangerous dimension to get it.
And so with that in mind, Rize opens up a portal to another dimension, and shortly after she walks directly into it, her goal in mind was to receive her master pride weapon.
It didn't take long before it closed behind her, leaving the room empty.
-- Asmodeus Pov --
Within the halls of Rize Villa Asmodeus, decide to walk outside in the garden, although this place has been a haven for him, to heal his wounds, he knew that he would soon have to return to his work in the original world.
The job was to protect Ether Pendragon and received Excalibur from his clutches, however, Asmodeus had other plans for him as Ether was an entity that was too dangerous for him to keep alive, and his main mission was to kill the Pendragon bloodline.
And disposed if not find some way to utilize Excalibur once he gets his hands on it, by doing that he will be one step ahead of the braves.
However, there were multiple issues on this mission, for one he needed to find a way to blend in with the Academy student body, he has seen firsthand what a user of Ultimate magic can do, and he wasn't going to take any chances.
Seeing that Michael was a wretched member of the disgusting Khrist family as he harbors the title of Warlock of Dominion, then without a doubt, the guy was as formable as either Pyyrah or even stronger than Ekhidnanta for sure.
His plan was simple, he was going to take the shape and form, of one of the students or teachers after devouring them of course to take their memories and powers for himself, to make his disguise believable to those around him.
The reason is to avoid detection from both the braves and the people around him.
However, there was an unknown factor he could not ignore seeing that it came to his attention and that was the Khrist family.
He needed to dispose of them and eradicate their bloodline from this world at all costs and he vowed that upon his name, of course for his self-satisfaction, although it was a hard task on its own.
But Vengeance will be his.
Even if he had to devour every man, woman, boy, and girl within the academy, to take their powers for himself, honestly that was exactly what he was going to do, and the more people that fear him also make him stronger.
So either way, by the time this mission is finished, it will be a massacre, after all, he had no morals as long as he had his way, then that is all that really matters in the grand scheme of things.
But this does bring a smile to Asmodeus's face as he said.
"Just wait for me, Ken... And of course you too Sarah, I will show you the consequences of leaving me alive, you should have killed me when I was still human."
To be Continued.
