Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene

A/N: Read the Authors note at the end!

Falling to my knees, my heart began to bleed as large droplets ran cold from my eyes. Even with the rage of the heavens overflowing from above, all I could do was stare down at him.

His arms, legs, and eyes were all but missing, yet I could still feel his gaze upon me. He was aware; there was even a hint of amusement as if all of this was a game. It didn't matter if he lost; as long as I followed after him, Arsene would be happy.

"You are so selfish," I whispered into his ears as my tears flowed into his...into his chest cavity. Watching his chard heart beating in and out, I could not help but tear up as his lips opened once more.

"K....ki...kill Lilith. Kill em all!" he weakly said as his soul began to flicker in and out.

Pushing my Soulforce into him, my body began to shiver as I screamed, "I know you can hear me!!! Take it out for him now!!! You're a fucking Soul item, for God's sake!!!"

Clenching my teeth, the fading crimson darkness around me began to quake as my tears stopped. My pupils slowly turning into something monstrous as I glared at the spot Arsene's arm should be, "I will not ask once more!"

Suddenly a flash of crimson light consumed my eyes as my fingers flickered. Stuffing the entire content of the vial down Arsene's throat, I shuddered as his soul began to glimmer once more. However, even it was still weak, and his body was fading quickly.

"Lilith, I shall handle this," Yggdrasil whispered as her transparent body began fading. "It is up to you."

"Yeah," I venomously whispered as the fading gate began to tremble. All of a sudden, four large pillars of crimson darkness sprung from the gate behind me.

"This does not concern you, Lilith." The voice called out from the heavens as the flashes of Divine lightning continued to tear reality apart.

Kissing his crusty lips covered in ash and dirt, I arose from his cold body. My entire soul turning cold as The Nine Hells themselves. From behind me, four entities appeared from the misty pillars of crimson darkness.

Evil marking could be seen trailing over there their bodies, even the single child that stood alongside them as they bowed. "My lord, what is thy will?"

"Keep my husband alive, Yggdrasill, cannot last long. Arsene holds my body cultivation, so he should benefit from abyssal energy."

"Yes, your majesty!" they roared, rushing to Arsene. ARching my lips, I turned towards the heavens as the Abyssal Gate vanished.

"Lilith, The Abyssal Goddess, only death awaits should you..."

"This is the second time, is it not? We met before, didn't we? It was when I was inside of the Abyss. I was no more than a few seconds old, yet you were the first being I saw. " I coldly said as silence governs the land.

The music of the Winds vanished, the buzzing cicadas, the flowing qi of heaven and earth. All of it turned silent as my body began to rise off the ground towards the all expansive formation within the heavens.

"Yes..." Aldrich bitterly declared, "I was the first to see you, to hold you, but never had I imagine you would be involved with that bastard known as Arsene Snow. Do you even know who he is? What Arsene represents or what 'he' is trying to do?"

CLenching my teeth, the void began to quake as worldly abyssal qi began to run from my pores. Releasing a misty breath of darkness, my eye began to glimmer with mythic light.

Suddenly the entire skies of Midgard began to be consumed with copies of my emblem. Draining all of my abyssal qi for the first time in my life, my eyes never left the large formation overflowing with Cosmic energy.

"Does it matter? Arsene is my husband," I coldly hummed, turning to the three ladies tending to his injuries. Arching my lips, my face slowly grew pale as my body began to decay, yet my body never lost its beauty. "His enemies are mine, so from this point on Aldrich Ruler of the Heavens, we are enemies."

Roaring in laughter, Aldrich's lightning began to distort as various laws began to quake, "Enemies!!! You have no idea what happened, do you!!! Enemies !!! Girl, I am no enemy of that thing!!!" Aldrich bellowed in rage and hate. "You are as nieve as he is, but no matter, DIE!!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opening my eyes to the single bolt of lightning empowered by the cosmic forces of nature, my hair began to rise as I felt my death tearing its way towards me with the intent to destroy my very nature.

With my skin shredding and burning simultaneously due to the divine power of Aldrich's strike, the hundreds of emblems within the heavens began to connect.

Like spider webs connecting, a golden light began to cover all of Midgard as the Divine Energy of the Abyss began to overflow within the air. Suddenly, time and space froze into a single point as we appeared within a deep dark void of nothingness.

Nevertheless, the lightning of the Heavens did not stop even for a millisecond; however, this was not my goal. When higher beings battle, it is usually done in a fragmented dimension or higher realms in order not to interfere in the natural order.

Watching the Lightning blast etching closer towards me, the light within my gaze vanishes as Lifeforce began burning from my soul. Clenching my palm, the various divine formation within the heavens flickered into my palm.

Taking the form of a golden blade with a hint of blood on its edge, I felt my heart tremble as the voice of Alrich roared, "Morningstar!!!! Impossible, Aurelia Lost that sword in....NO!!!!"

Gripping the golden blade, my soul began to shake as my blood gushed from my five orifices. Roaring, my eyes glimmered as I used my Stronger Sword Arte. Pushing True Sword intent into the golden blade, my soul began to roar in anguish.

<Nightmare of Eden>

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Bellowing, my entire arms exploded into a mist of crimson as a Golden light corrupted by darkness shot for. This light was not dark like the hells or pure like the angels. No, it stood alone, a fusion of both Hell and Heaven that seem to consume creation altogether. Clashing with the power of Aldrich, I screamed, pushing more Life force into my attack.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With my body withering and aging, I continued pushing all I can. Watching the Misty Golden Energy battle Aldrich's power, I screamed as the very abyss began to quake.

"Our battle is not over; It will never end!" Aldrich bellowed as my Arte tore through his attack piercing his cosmic formation. Ripping it to shreds in an instant, my body fell from the heavens into the ground as we all arrived back to the little village Arsene was in.

Crashing into the ground, too weak to catch myself, blood continued to gush from my empty arm sockets as I turned to Arsene and everyone else,

"s...save him...first."
