The Demon’s Bride

Ian stayed watching the fire engulfing the mansion he once lived at until nothing left need to be burned. The servants who he had no business with had escaped, he let them escape as they had nothing to do against him or his mother. But he was far from done as there was one more person left for him to kill which was Arrah, the same maid who had caused his mother's death.

Ian soared around the sky while hell was in a sudden chaos of a sudden birth of a new demon who had went on rampage under their notice. "Find that demon! We have to bring that imbecile back to his place!" Ordered the head of the demon army as Satan narrowed his eyes when he heard it form his subordinates of a birth of another demon.

"Caleb, he had done it," whispered Satan to himself. 

"Should we find his soul and torture him as punishment, your majesty?" Orias questioned as it was the usual punishment for demons. Even as they died, Satan could pass on a punishment to their soul which now reside in the abyss.

Satan who was at his throne, sitting without raising one finger covered his lower mouth, "No. Tell Arbatos to stop bullying the poor child. He has find his death, no one should interrupt his rest any longer."

Ian arrived at the village where Arrah had resided at. He landed with impact, standing on the ground of the village when he found people running around. Ian who arrived then saw tilted his head, he hadn't appeared to the people and yet hey have run in havoc. As he passed by the houses, he caught the sight of a house breaking in and the sound of people crying. Underneath, the rubbles, he saw the pool of blood that caused him to frown. 

As he turned his head to the left, he caught sight of a woman crying, glaring at him with a rage filled gaze. 

Ian wondered at first if someone else had came before him here, possibly a worse killer than him. At that time, however, Ian didn't concern himself much about the incident. He continued to leave the house, finding for Arrah and to make her pay for her sins when all of a sudden more demons had came toward him.

The demon who had came had a heavy armor adorning her body. "Ian White, the successor of Diablo. You are now to come back to Hell and receive your punishment."

"Punishment?" Ian questioned the woman and showed her a grin, "However, I have to refuse your invitation, I have an urgent matter to take care of."

The view in front Ian begin to cloud once again. When he opened his eyes, he was met with the tree death angels who seemed shocked with what they had seen as well. For certain, Ian had done terrible many murderers though most of them had reasons but the greatest sin that the death angels should have punished went on differently compared to what they had expected. The greatest sin in him was for him to kill the innocents in the small village, eradicating a number of over two hundred vulnerable humans… and yet what was shown to them was that Ian had came late and had done nothing to the village.

Ian who realized the same fact which he had somewhat forgotten due to how chaotic his anger, resentment, and sorrow during that time didn't remember it. He too, had thought he had killed the entire village as Caleb had warned him that an overflowing anger will cause him to lose all reasons and kill those who near him.

"It seems I have been fooled," Ian clenched his jaw. The woman in the village who glared at him that day was Mila and the woman had killed the wrong person. "Mind letting me go now? I thought coming here would allow me to apologize directly to those whom I killed as I was responsible to do so. But it seems I got it wrong. More reason for me to come home quickly as my wife is waiting for me."

But the death angels were confused on what they had discovered, "How can this be? The death book wrote his name as the responsible murderer!" The one in the right voiced out his confusion.

"That's not possible, the death book had never been mistaken," the death angel on the left then glared at Ian, "He must have tampered with the memory reading earlier!"

"Now, now, that's too much credit, isn't it, I can't trick your abilities," Ian replied and he twisted his hand on the chain that shackled his wrists a the same time, "I am still kindly requesting you to release me now."

The death angels frowned while staring at him, "Regardless if this wasn't your sin to be paid, you are dead. Leaving the abyss is impossible for you. Your destination is to the purgatory perhaps with then god might spare you kindness and allow you reincarnate."

The death angel in the middle, who was holding to the book narrowed his eyes and used his hand to rubbed the name that was written on the page. As he did so, the ink which carved on the paper begin to wash out, disappearing which had the other two death angels shrieked when they noticed it. 

"Someone had changed the name in the death book!" Screamed the first death angel who had spoken, irritating Ian's ears with the loudness of his voice. 

The most angered one out of the three death angels were their head who was standing in the middle. "Find that imbecile, now!"

Ian sighed with how the three death angels keep on discussing their matter, ignoring him. It appears they still don't understand how impatient he was. "I told you before to release my hand now. You will regret it if you don't."

The death angel on the middle huffed, "That would never happen, demon. You might not b the killer of this sin but I should make certain that you pay all your sin and suffer the worse punishment."

"I asked nicely and politely," Ian sighed as he begin to push himself to stand up, "But you didn't heed to my warning, so you reap what you sow."

If it was a normal human threatening them, the death angels won't be the least surprised nor scared but as Ian did the same, the felt shiver. However, they could hardly believe Ian would be able to do anything considering how Ian's hands were shackled by the most unbreakable chains in the three realm.

What they had forgotten was one of them had made a slip of a tongue, a terrible one that let Ian to know the weakness of the chain. 

As the three death angels was taken aback by his bold threats, the left suddenly felt forward, collapsing as his face fell flat. The head of the three death angels was shocked to see this. He couldn't comprehend what happened as in the next second the fellow death angel of the right fell at the same manner. Black blood pool underneath the death angels' face and Ian pulled the chains on his arm in ease. 

He pulled his leg, breaking the chain on his ankle as well and hummed, "I thought I had to kill three of you but it seems two is enough."

The third death angel's eyes flared in anger, "You will regret what you have done, Demon!"

"Maybe," Ian hummed in a nonchalant tone, "But you know, I will regret it more if I am not able to see her forever. Goodbye."
