Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene

Narrowing my gaze, I couldn't help but arch my lips in a particular light at Orion. I truly wanted to know what came after the Gate of Truth. So it's called Elemental Star.

Noticing my curious gaze, Zanris nodded, "the correct name is Realm of Stars, which is broken up into Elemental Star, Void Star, Dark Star, and World Star. For each Major realm, there are around, in theory, five stars one can create."

"But you will never reach such a level, boy!" Jeoma spat with a cold light as he turned to Zanris. "And this little blood elf whore will be finding herself within the depts with you."

Raising my head High, I snorted, "you handle him. I will take care of the little boy here. How long will this take?"

Frowning at my tone Zanris sneered, "About five minutes. He is only at the second stage of Elemental Star. His element is Fire; it will be over quickly. "

"Oh, well, be quick." I curtly said, not caring for her feelings. Turning my gaze to Orion, I snickered, "Shall we, little boy?"

Gritting his teeth, a profound qi began to fill the room as my smile deepened. Opening my eyes wide, I almost howled into laughter at the Nasect Soul before me, "Marvelous, my luck is turning around. HAHAHA, Lilith would be proud."

Appearing in front of me faster than my eyes could perceive, the young boy screamed, "Die for me!"

Stabbing his fingers to my dantian like a spear, I didn't even bother to move as his fingers came to a complete halt before me.

"My my my, how I look forward to breaking you." I voiced; crouching down, I stared into the horrid eyes of Orion as my fingers gently brushed the hair from his disheveled face.

Curling my lips upwards, I snickered, "A deal is a deal, and you failed to deliver. Now that little soul of yours is mine."

Shivering, Orion tried to open his lips, but my will prevented such a thing from happening. Slowly my fingers began to warp into lang scaly claws as my fingers ran across his cheeks, "now, this is quite the development, don't you think?"

"P...P... Please... don't." Orion called out as blood began to fall from his lips. Widening my smile, my fingers began to claw into his cheeks as tears began to fall from the boy's eyes. He knew what was in store. We both did.

"A little slave talking back to his master... don't worry, I will train you so well that personality of yours will be all but gone. Welcome to Vaevictis, woe to the vanquished, my child."

Bellowing in laughter, I turned to Zanris as a particular light flashed as she turned to me. I could see a shiver run through her body as her breathing began to grow ragged. Licking my lips, scales began to rise from my skin as I grinned.

"What's wrong, Zanris? Have you figured it out?" I asked with a demonic smile as the air grew chilly and stale.

"Your... your form the Nines... You're a true Devil." She voiced in horror as I roared in laughter.

"Now, isn't someone full of information." flashing my sharp fangs, Orion shook as he turned to Jeoma, his eyes slowly losing their light. Suddenly qi of heaven and earth began to rise up as Orion began drawing a complex circle.

Jeoma eyes quickly widened as he bellowed, "Lord Orion, what is the meaning..."

Suddenly a ray of crimson flashed as Zanris rushed towards Jeoma. A blade of Blood could be seen within her palm as she pointed her small fingers towards his skull.

<Bloody Coffin>

Suddenly a massive cage appeared, surrounded Orion trapping him from moving around as Zanris sword began to dance so fast all I could see was rays of crimson.

Ding*Ding*Ding*Ding*Ding*Ding*Ding*Ding*

Jeoma frantically began to defend, but the longer he remained still, the tighter the crimson coffin became. It wasn't long before the coffin suddenly gripped his arms and body, completely sealing him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH STOP!!!!!!" Jeoma desperately spat as Zanris blade dug into his chest. Twisting her blade, blood was blasted into her face as she roared, sending qi into his body.

Coughing a mouthful of crimson, Jeoma turned to the silent Orion, spilling tears as he completed his circle.

"Lord... Lord Orion, help me. I have s... served your family since birth. Please help me." He slowly begged as Orion's petite body appeared directly in front of him, pointing his small index finger at Jeoma's head.

<Friged>

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Suddenly hundreds of massive tentacles of ice flew out from his circle turning jeoma into nothing more than paste before swallowing the entire prison into ruin.

With widened eyes, I gasped at the massive circle continuing to spread out almost indefinitely. Pushing my flames out, I quickly melted the ice around me, trying to invade my blood. Releasing a hot breath, I backed away from ground zero.

"Holy shit, that was totally unnecessary. Damn, that was dangerous." I coldly spat, "Orion, you fucking idiot, why the hell did you use such a spell. Master now has to punish you even more!"

Bellowing in rage, Orion's eyes gleamed hate as he roared. Nodding my head in agreement, I smiled, "Yes, yes, let's see, how about I force you to kill your family brutally? Or maybe your wife. That would be quite the experience; we could even have a feast with her as the main course."

Covering his mouth blood, quickly expelled itself as he fell to his knees, quaking in his boots like a small bunny. "Please don't, anything but that. I... It will not happen again... Please."

"So you do have a wife, now how perfect is that." I laughed as my body began to return to normal. "That gives me quite a few ideas. Life sure is a bitch.

"So will I also be your toy like him? Will you toy with me like you are doing him?" Zanris exclaimed in an icy tone. Finding a dark light, I was all too familiar with; I nodded without care.

"Maybe, but that really depends on your next actions," I whispered as I drew closer. Placing my fingers on her delicate chin, I raised for her to stare into my eyes, "Do you wish to kill me?"

Narrowing her gaze, she turned her head yet; my fingers suddenly clenched her throat as I pulled her closer to me, "I ask you, Zanris. Do you wish to kill me!" I spat as my fingers grew tighter, yet no matter how tight they became, blood did not seem to fall.

With a frightening gleam, Zanris shove me away, blasting me into a wall. Blood quickly gushed from my head as I bellowed in laughter, "Now isn't that better. If you wish to kill me, then state it. I will not hold it against you unless you actually try to. You are 'free' in various ways, my dear. I will never force you to do anything against your bottom line. You have done me no wrong, not to mention you are family now."

"Hmph, will you also brand your family?"

"damn right I will. I will cover all my bases. Control is the best power a cultivator can have. We betray as much as a teenager thinks about sex. Family is just a term that relates to people that you share blood with nothing more, nothing less. "

Sending me a curious gleam Zanris shook her head, "You truly are broken if that's how you think. With those type of words, you will never find a wife."

"huh?"
