Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Entering Lilith's home, I saw anna, Lilith's personal maid bowing towards me with her heavy weaponry pressing tightly against her clothing. Trying not to temp myself, I entered Lilith's room to be alone.

Closing my eyes, I sat in the lotus position, feeling my will getting closer to the will of the Nines. I could feel the Seven sins within my body beginning to pulse with power. Like a dark mist was slowly rising from my body, I entered a state of enlightenment. At the same time, another part of my mind began focusing on other things. ​​

It was not long before all the elements within my elder ring began to glimmer around my blackened soul. Hours quickly began to pass as days slowly began to echo by before my eyes were slowly open.

Feeling the pulse of lightning sparkled across my body, I smiled in comfort. I had not yet reached the realm of Dao as I did with darkness, but I felt I was almost there. Smiling, I drew Dragosnbane before coming to a swift decision.

"I guess it's finally time to start learn the order side of things to this technique. My Mortal Dao has yet to be formed, so this will be perfect until I figure out how to form a Mortal Dao. Words are not enough. There is something I need to do for it to actually take form.

The Order side of the Demonic Order of Chaos was rather simple. It did not require much movement but absolute control over my body without Qi or Vital qi.

Pondering over the concept of absolute, I frown, thinking that was a stretch. However, that thought quickly faded as I kept on studying the ancient movements of my spear technique.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly became lost within myself as I felt the blood inside me flowing like endless streams. I could feel the lightning within me dancing around my neural network, the heat of my skin, the pulsing of my heart. Zoning out for a few days, I continued on comprehending what I was for the first time. With my body ever-changing, this process was rather long.

"This... this is... my comprehension is not enough. This will take far too long; I wonder if the Vanir clan has a time manipulation device. I have too many things on my plate. Shit, can Lilith make one for me? In fact, where the hell is she?"

Frowning in hesitation, I suddenly spoke, "Enter," feeling someone at my door.

"Young Master, you have guessed. Two people are here to see you. Roald and Antor," Anna kindly said with a warm smile.

"Guess it has been a while; I actually forgot I had a job. Anna, do me a favor, go out and buy some elemental resources. Get the highest level you can; I want them all." I commanded with a deep tone, tossing her a ring filled with about a million ES.

"Of course, young master," she replied back, leading me towards the duo waiting for me. Stepping into the main office, I chuckled.

"Roald, what can I do for you?" I asked in a kind manner, masking my annoyance.

"I was sent by Lord Gandmier. He asked that I bring you along with a few others to the Vanir clan within a week. He wants to meet you, so he sent me."

"Ok, but why is he here?" I coldly asked, turning to the thorn in my side, "This doesn't seem like..."

"I am also a member of the Vanir, although I am station here on business." Andor quickly said with a chilling gleam, yet his words had me pondering, "but I am only here to see where you and you're so call wife lives. You see, there have been many more murders, one each night."

"Let me guess. You think it was me." I responded, rolling my eyes, "Truly, do you not have anything better to do?"

"I do, but here I am." Andor counted with a chilling smile, "Drulan came to me a few days ago wanting to know more about you. Can you guess why?"

"I don't care, but you can leave now." I coldly hummed, turning around, "Roald tells this Gandmeir I will see him the day before we leave."

Making my exist I entered my room staring at Orion on his knees with a dish in his hands, "My lord, your food. Would you like me to continue to..."

"Yes, you can go," I said, taking the plate in his hands. Those chiefs were getting good. Looking at the perfectly cut thigh, seasoned with all my favorite seasonings, I liked with a foie gras laid gently on top while also topped with a side of mashed potatoes using the fat of the cut. I took in a deep whiff before digging in.

With tears in my eyes, I shivered in delight finishing it in seconds before looking deep into my dantian at the Yang and Yin qi flowing like two large suns. I had no use for them, but it never hurt to have another type of qi within me, but I have been thinking of fusing them within my dantian to create another type of qi. It is quite a waste to have them just sitting there.

"I really need a spiral device, so little time," I complained before resuming my cultivation. I was currently at the second stage of Earth Realm, which was rather pathetic compared to those around me.

Sucking all the qi from the air, hours began to pass before another knock sounded from my door. Opening my sights to anna stepping in, I watched as she bowed, handing me a ring before leaving without a word.

Looking at the many fruits within the low-grade spiral relic, I summoned an emerald-colored apple that sparkled with moonlight. Taking a deep sent I could feel a massive amount of wind ether and Qi overflowing as I took a large bite, finishing it instantly. Enjoying the airy crunch, the mellow sweetness, I touched my body consumed in a gentle flow of air.

However, instead of waiting for my body to absorb all of the access qi and elemental ether, I summoned another friend that began pulsing with the power of thunder. Tearing a bite out, I continued to indulged myself as my body progressively began to grow bigger.

Suddenly ancient marking began to take form as my soul force showered my mind. Using my mind palace, I began studying the markings as my body quickly began adapting.

Directing my access qi towards my dantian, I ignored the blood flowing from my nose as I suddenly became confused and disoriented". "These markings, they are... its the Elder Ring. It's my soul?"

"HUH?" I shouted before everything turn to black.
