Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 203 - Baphomet - Abyssal War



Tearing my eyes from the Tome of Sin, a book I had read over the endless cycles but had yet to grasp fully, I turned my attention to the young boy before me. Narrowing my gaze, I nodded, "Are you ready?" I asked, staring at the dark light glimmering from the man I called my brother.

"I am. The seal has been created." He replied with a hint of anticipation, "Shall we head to the Court of Nox? I am rather anxious to fulfill my deal with Asmodeus."

Releasing a deep chuckle, I couldn't help but pat his head to his annoyance. It will always amaze me as to why Azeroth chose to remain in this form. It would take but a thought to change his appearance permanently. He hates being treated like a child, yet; he loves being one.

"Well, I shall meet you there." I coldly whispered as time and space began to twist to my will. I could feel the concepts of space being bent as I shot through the massive barrier that encompassed the Realm of Nox.

BOOOOOOM!!!!

Slamming my feet upon the Land of Nox, a feral smile sprung from my lips as I stared at the children before me. This was one of their main institutes for growing the new generation. Fear was all but present as I released a breath similar to the air within the nine realms.

Slowly their little faces began to melt as screams of anguish began to fill their bodies. Clawing at their eyes, many began to rip their eyes from their small bodies screaming for it to end.

" Mother mother," they would call out, trying to cling to the foolish concept of hope. Licking my lips at the despair and music, I bit down, ripping their small heads apart, enjoying the sweet taste of innocence.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH DIE MONSTER!!!" A desperate roar consumed by heartbreak echoed out as my tail swept across the voice, blasting its head from his body. Watching the gore shower my body, I released a massive roar turning the entire area to ash. Millions of worlds began to fade like clouds governing the azure skies as my laughter echoed out.

Enjoying the endless amount of souls filling my form, I waved my arm as a long staff appeared within my palm.

"Baphomet?!!" A fear full roar sounded as I saw the face of one of the main members of the Court of Nox.

"This is your area, is it not, Xin" I cruelly muttered in amusement, watching as he backed away in horror.

"NO, you cannot be here... He-he-he would not allow it. Your kind cannot be here?" He bellowed as terrifying light began to pulse from my staff. Suddenly a massive circle began to form, showering reality with my sinful power.

"AHAHAHA, Vaevictis sent me to give you all a message Xin, Lord of Destruction. By her will, Lilith, Daughter of The Abyss, has declared war upon you. Let the Abyssal War commence!!!"

With my words flooding the multiverse, I raised my staff, crafted with wings of Archangels and Arch Devils, high into the air before slamming it down with ruthless intent.

Encompassing multiple verses, an angelic power suddenly flowed from the void. A golden light began to rise like stars growing bigger and bigger. However, as it grew, the seven sins slowly began corrupting the golden light turning it blacker than night.

Like how a disease would spread, everything that touched upon the dark stars began to be corrupted. Suddenly all the souls that I was collecting began to rise from my body, flowing into these stars.

"Don't!!!" Xin roared as a destructive crimson light filled the universe with its glint. Stars that encompassed reality began to be disintegrated by his intent, but he was far too late as the screams of the Nine Hells began to resound like bells.

"COME FORTH, MY LEGION!!!!!"

Suddenly trillions of demons began to rush from the Stars like made beast screeching like a depraved beast. Roaring in laughter, I snapped as their bodies vanished.

"Go forth, my children destroy, pillage, and kill in the Name of Vaevictis. Let them understand; War is upon them. Kill Kill Kill!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Xin roared at the top of his lungs as he charged at me with a long spear within his palm. Thrusting it, I swiftly dodged as my tail swept across his face, slapping across space and time into another universe as I shot towards him, stabbing my palm into his chest as golden blood filled with destruction shower this little universe. Slowly all of time and space began to be destroyed as his power began to run wild.

"STOP!!!!" He screamed in fear, but his words were for not. I The King of Beast shall not be satisfied.

Laughing, I leaped away as my staff, Abaddon, began to pulse with power changing from a demonic staff into a long powerful great ax glimmering with the Power of a Prince of Hell. Swiping it down with untamed abandonment, I split reality in half, causing a large black rift to appear as Xin arose, coughing up blood. His left arm and leg were all but missing, but I could see fear, sweet, sweet fear, as he suddenly crushed a talisman, causing three core members of the Court of Nox to appear in an instant.

"Merlin, Zenitsu, and Sylvanas," I spoke with a menacing smile as a child appeared from behind me with a demonic gleam. Suddenly all of time and space vanished from reality as he stepped to my side, holding his halbert. Even I felt a chill as Azeroth's dead eyes stared into the four men.

"Should we kill them?" he coldly asked as his body began to change from a child into something more becoming of a devil. Long back scally wings with two long spikes could be seen as he grew to about six feet. His arms turned into razor-sharp beast-like claws shimmering with so much intent I could feel my body needing to protect itself.

Narrowing my gaze, I laughed in amusement, "I had not seen such a form since the War of Demons and Devils when we battled against three archangels."

Turning his head, I gazed upon his handsome face semi-covered in draconic scale as he smirked, "Now that was a battle. Even after a few million years of constant battle, we still could not gain any advantage over them."

"Baphomet, The King of Beast, and Azeroth, The Sleeping Sin!" Merlin whispered as his aged appearance seem to grow even older, "w.-w-w-w, what are you two doing?"

Cracking my neck, I watched as Merlin drew his eldrich staff, crafted from the origin of multiple dimensional realities. A look of fear and caution could be seen, but he did not back down as Zenitsu drew a long katana from his side.

Feeling a sharp sting upon my skin, a rush of excitement began to fuel my body as I spoke, "Let's kill one... Only one Az that should be enough, afterward lets rain destruction upon the Lands controlled by The Court of Nox."

Stepping forward, a pale-looking man that looked similar to an undead roared in anger, "YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE US?"

"Challenge?" Azeroth spoke out in confusion turning to me, "This is no challenge; battling three archangels was a challenge; killing a king is a challenge. Trying to kill Asmodeus is a challenge."

Nodding in agreement, I snickered, "They are the top of the food chain Az, they must have forgotten who we are and what we did long ago."

Losing the dead gleam within his gaze, I felt Azeroth had fully awakened as a vibrant light began to radiate from his gaze. Slowly a demonic essence began to flow from his body as he stared at the four men shivering.

"We shall fix that. It's been a while since I destroyed multiple universes... how about we have a competition? Let's see how many verses we can decimate before any archangels descend."

" You truly are my brother."
