Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 424: A Devils Mission



Chapter 424: A Devils Mission

"I forgot to ask. What is your name?" Siegfried suddenly inquired while I peered out from the see-through tunnel. We had appeared to be underwater surrounded by my worse enemy... fish. The blasted beast that was created by the Devil himself to haunt me.

"I go by many names, for now, you can call me Lelouch, to make things simple, if your masters have not told you about me, it\'s for you own good then."

Coming to a steady halt, Siegried turned with a curious expression, "You any strong?"

I smiled, as did Lilith, by my side, "You have no idea,"

Letting a chuckle escape his lips, I saw a glint of a war-craved beast flicker within his eyes. The man was a fool, but he had power, standing at the peak of Demi-God. Yu Jing was a tad bit stronger, but I figured that much didn\'t really matter to these so call chosen.

Following behind Siegfried, I tried to enjoy myself while my blasted mortal enemy of mine mocked me. Making our way from below the tunnel, we soon arrived at a massive clearing filled with people that seemed at the height of society.

There were gods, beasts, demons, and various types of monsters. From every turn, I saw many kinds of different races, all having diverse cultivations gathered, but one thing I noted was the Azure Souls within them and the dense Azure Essense fluttering about.

What is going on? Why do these gods not notice anything? Are they all under this person\'s thrall?

Wrapping her arms under mine, Lilith\'s gaze hooked upon the endless people, all having a good time. The music was not too light but instead seemed to carry a relaxing Dao that seemed to bring on a sense of euphoria. The air was intoxicating, even without it being wild, making one simply wish to stay forever.

"Welcome to Paradise !" Everyone suddenly shouted, surprising me.

Feeling a chill suddenly flicked through my spine, I chuckle, "Well Met,"

"Let me get the others. I shall be back." Siegfried suddenly uttered, rushing off in a hurry.

"Do not get too comfortable," Said a voice that had me quaking in fear purred into my ear. Feeling a wet kiss upon my cheek, I turned to gaze at Levi-Chan, smiling mischievously, in a way that reminded me of Lilith.

"Mother? What are you doing here?" Muttered Lilith, noticing the eyes of Arkanos begin to blur.

"You guy\'s really stepped into the lion\'s den. Shit, if the master\'s of your new friends were watching, they would be quaking in fear." Whispered Levitan softly.

"You know what is going on?"

"Indeed, but for now, I have a mission for the both of you. You all know of Yael\'s presence on Alos. I wish for you to kill him."

Narrowing my gaze, I turned to the Azure Essesne that seemed to hold the ability to mind **** just about any but Soulbenders. Yael was indeed a problem, but there were too many things out of place to say I could kill him.

"I assume this place is the key to doing so?"

"Lilith?" Levithan darkly uttered, shooting her daughter a deep stare.

"The Oasis of Derma is a hub of pure life, and you are Arsene in the flow of the natural order is death incarnate. The amount that has died to you is uncountable."

Nodding my head in understanding, I frowned, "So?"

"To reach the Etherial Plane, one must step past the laws of death and life, into a land beyond heaven and earth. There we will meet those who were left untouched since the beginning of creation." Lilith explained, causing my eyes to widen.

"Correct, but to do so, one needs a source of pure, untouched life and death. Death is relatively easy to find, but something pure like the Oasis is another story." Added Levithan solemnly, "However, the gates seemed to be open here."

"HUH?!"

"Somone opened it before—"

"Whoever did so is dead. You, Lilith, have a key. The person that opened the gate didn\'t. " explained Levithan sharply, "What you two are seeing is the Etherial essence of some monster in the Etherial Plane, spreading its roots."

Crossing my arms, I quickly began to frown, "How is it no one can see this essence?"

"You look down on yourself far too much, boy. You\'re a monarch in the making, carrying three great bloodlines. If you cannot see it, no one can, Lilith as well. There are some that can see it, but it\'s very few in number. From what I gather, there is a single chosen form Nox here who can see this essence."

"That bitch?" Scuffed Lilith darkly.

"No, not Yu Jing, another I don\'t believe you have met, but it doesn\'t matter. Killing Yael, that\'s what I want you two to achieve."

"Why?" I asked, wondering why she herself could not do it. I know power is not an issue.

"It\'s for your own good, Arsene. The Angels know you are here. Now is the time for you to make a point and start claiming your territory. Now is the time if you wish to force them to back off and gain some allies in the Nines. Kill Yael."

"Does it have to be here?" I uttered, looking around at the endless hoards of ethereal essence creating thralls at every moment.

"Oh? Do you have a better moment? The pieces are set if—"

"The pieces are in a mess, "I barked, glaring at Levi. "The chaos I created on Midgard was a controlled fire to me, but here I don\'t even know what is controlling this essence or how strong it is. Killing Yael is within my interest, but till I know what is going on, I cannot simply act just to gain some allies."

"He is correct, mother. Last time, I got kidnapped, same with Ezra. Luring Yael away is simple, but killing him is different, at least till we know what is going on."

Giggling to herself, Levi-chan covered her lips with her small hands. "Asmo said you would say so. He also said that if you wish for the throne, you had best complete your deal with him."

Cheap bastard!

"How is Ezra, by the way? She awake?"

Levithan rolled her eyes, sending a sweet air kiss before vanishing, leaving only her lustful voice, "She is quite ready to resume her train with you, as am I."

"Asmodeus is going to kill me one day."
