Hell's Consort
Chapter 180 - Envious Hatred
*********************
The Empress Luna
*********************
Lilith's muscles became rigid while her face and neck flushed red with anger. "Shut up!"
"If I were reborn an Archdemon in my next life, Lilith, I would never—absolutely never wanted to be you. Being envious about others is the most pathetic feeling in the world because that just meant you don't have the power that I have." Luna chuckled, her eyes protruding with hatred as she uttered darker, hurtful words meant to provoke.
"You wanted to covet other's powers that you don't own. How does it always feel to live and think every single moment of your life, always reminding you that you will never be enough, not just for my husband, but for anyone else?"
Lilith's right fist had shaken before she straightened her palm and slapped them across Luna's face hard that it made a trickle of blood drizzle down her mouth and nose.
"Damn you!" Giving Lilith an intense, fevered stare, Luna cursed before her lips curved into a satisfied smirk now that she knew for a fact that she could get to the High Priestess.
She had the ability to play with her insecurities, and that was the only thing that mattered for now.
Luna had no power in Hell and if she could get by with playing mind games with Lilith, then so be it.
Brute strength wouldn't work on her, so Luna needed a strategy to prevent this bitch from possessing her body in the Vampire Realm.
Luna swallowed hard as the skin on her mouth stretched into a snarl, but she kept her expression in check.
She had to keep herself in control, figuring when to strike hurtful words and when to retreat so that she wouldn't get 'accidentally' killed by this devious witch.
The High Priestess had proven to be so unpredictable.
There was something in her seemingly innocent face that had unnerved her very much, and she finally recalled the reason why.
Lilith's wide gunmetal grey eyes paired with that amused smile was the last expression she had made before she hacked her victims' throat and stabbed her heart multiple times even if it wouldn't require her to do so if she wanted the person dead.
Three stabs in the chest were enough to kill the person, but Lilith had repeatedly done so without guilt.
Luna remembered how the High Priestess had killed female creatures from different Realms so that she could summon an Archdemon and how she ordered the nun under her control to cut up the children's body parts as her sacrifice just for Ravin to meet Luna at the Dream Realms as the man attempted to seduce her.
Lilith also made a naïve fairy to do her dirty job to find her some unicorns when, in fact, they are really scarce.
Unicorns were a wild woodland creatures—the epitome of purity and grace—and only a virgin's charms could catch their attention.
It was a heinous crime to slay a unicorn, and the naïve faerie who desired to acquire Archdemon magic will suffer a cursed life.
The unicorn's blood and horns contained mystical powers.
If Luna could examine the soul portal that had surrounded her, she would acquire the unicorn's horns for her own use if these Archdemons were so careless and oblivious of its magic.
Luna inhaled deeply to differentiate the scent of the unicorns' blood because Luna didn't know, nor did Lilith have specified where she had used the creature's essence.
Was it on the soul portal she had drawn around her, or did she pour all of them in the cauldron?
Despite that, Luna could still glance around her as she observed how Lilith had created the soul portal.
When she focused on the scent of the unicorn's blood in the atmosphere, Luna could smell the fresh aroma of pine, mango and apricot and grapes—the fruits she had missed to taste before she became a vampire.
Luna had swallowed and licked her lips, feeling a sudden thirst in her parched throat.
She hadn't even drunk to her heart's content from Apollyon yet because she had forgotten to nourish herself when they were busy from the Empress Coronation.
"You lived up to your name, Archdemon." Luna watched Lilith with cold eyes paired with a cold smile, "How could you kill innocent creatures when you aren't even an Archdemon yet? I have witnessed what insidious things you have done before."
Nostrils flaring, Luna shrieked with all the contempt she had summoned within her. "You fucking disgust me. You are a psychopath!"
"In your situation, I didn't kill innocent people just because I liked it, girl." The High Priestess offered a bemused smile as she closely examined Luna's singed hair strands.
Lilith stared at Luna dead in the eye with that smug expression of hers. "Don't forget that those sacrifices are made for you as per Ravin's request so in a way you are part of the sacri--"
"Evil creatures like you don't just hurt others." Luna cut her off as she flexed her arm muscles and fingers.
The moment she was free, Luna would prepare herself to punch this woman's lights out and break her teeth before she could utter a spell. "You also take pride in the pain you have caused and then try to blame your victims."
The Archdemon of Envy's face tightened in irritation which also screamed insecurity as Lilith addressed Luna. "I'm the best Archdemon there is, and I pride myself for my ruthlessness and psychopathy, girl. Honestly, I would treat that as a compliment."
Luna figured out Lilith was irritated by her words, but she still managed to let out a hard smile despite the frown that had flashed her face for a mighty second.
Grabbing the opportunity to tackle a possible weakness, Luna asked pointedly, "Why don't Archdemons like you satisfy your thirst for blood like how you sacrifice evil people so that you will at least clean the Realms of some trash?"
"Darling, you certainly haven't heard of the saying that 'good people die young'."
