Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Boooom!!!!!!!!

Ruthlessly slamming my body against the wall, blood gushed from my mouth as I gave a bloody smile, my teeth all but stained with crimson. I never truly had a relationship with Tian Wang and Lu Shan. There were merely pawns Father created to protect me. While what they did to their child was cruel, I do not regret anything anymore. Although something about this situation is off, it's like he is a different person from what I remember.

"We will just see. Yu Feng, you are to head to Midgard and Kill Arsene Snow." Tian Wang commanded as the young man shivered, his soul still being damaged as he vomited some of his organs.

"AHAHHA Him? Do you truly believe the Man I picked would lose to this insect? He is not even worthy enough to wipe the asses of the homeless men within our kingdom." I sang with laughter. "Look at him. He could not even last three seconds against me. Not mention the disciple of The Beast King Baphomet."

Freezing like a statue Tian Wang and grandfather's eyes turned wide as they both backed away in horror. "Yura, are you sure of this? He-He-He picked a disciple. That deprave bastard picked..."

"Yes, Arsene became his disciple and now carries his mark on his chest. It's only a matter of time before Bahamut that satanic bastard appears before him once more." I coldly said as Abysall qi began healing all my injuries.

Fixing my clothing, I chuckled, "If only you could see your pathetic face. I returned home to informed many of you of recent events regarding the Nine Hells. As I'm sure you all know, I am friends or rivals with Asmodius's Daughter Ezra."

"So what, hurry up already." Tian Wang barked in annoyance, causing me to smile.

"Well, dear 'Father' She has joined a being from the Abyss, and her name is Lilith. As I'm sure...wait, I have a video of the entire thing." I lightly said with a smile as Grandfather's eyes grew profound. A cold, calculating gleam flashed through his eyes as he frowned. The same could be said about Tian Wang as they began watching a video of all that transpired within the Nines. From beginning to end there faces had not changed as they lowered their gazes together. Truly father and son.

"Lilith? The Horsman gates? Father, we need to call a council." Tian Wang said, leaving no room to negotiate.

"We do, but Yura, what did you do?" Grandfather questioned, "Telling us this...don't tell me."

"correct, I will be joining forces with this Lilith to battle against the Court of Nox, who is actively targeting me. It is well within my interest to join forces with one such as her."

"HOW DARE YOU' Tian Wang roar slapping me across my face basting a few teeth from my lips, "Who permitted you? Do you have any idea what you have done? Guards lock her ass up and seal her qi. I will personally deal with her."

Wiping the blood from my lips, I turned to the celestial guards shivering in fear as I snorted, "Let's go; your king is throwing a tantrum—such an unbecoming sight. Grandfather really fucked up given birth to filth such as yourself. I'm sure grandmother is cursing her womb for pushing such a disgrace out. "

"AAAAAAAAAH" Tian Wang roared, giving me another brutal slap that knocked a few more teeth out. Blood quickly began to fall as he clenched his fist, striking me across my face repeatedly as he cursed.

"You stupid bitch FUCK FUCK FUCK."

Feeling my bones being crush, I was blasted into the wall as Tian Wang began raining punches into me.

BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*

Feeling my bones shattering one after another, my right eye quickly had turned into a paste due to Tang Wang's vicious punishment. Nevertheless, I did not bother to cry but rather remained cold as Ice as Soulforce ran through my body, making sure I would not die. My lips were slowly turning into mush as Tain Wang's hands began to be stained by my blood. In a matter of seconds, my face was all but destroyed as various indents could be seen within my skull. Suddenly Tian Wang spat in disgust, kicking me across the face blasting me away like a rag doll. "What good are you if you do not obey? Sell her I have no use for..."

SLAP!!!

Striking him across the Face, Grandfather snorted, "You are such a fool. What the hell happened to you. Take my granddaughter to a doctor; I need to speak with my foolish child. She is a Soulbender of the highest degree. She has no equals; what the hell happened for you to treat her as such? No chosen can ever match her."

"No need," I coldly voiced as blood ran from my face. I could feel my left eye was destroyed while my right eye could only visualize a burr of crimson. These wounds were not truly life-threatening, but a shiver ran through both grandfather and Tang Wang's faces as I smiled with my deformed expression.

Taking my leave, I arrived within my room as my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Hearing my phone began to beat. Staring at the name, I hesitated as I pressed the accept button.

"Wh..."

"Yura, call me that," I swiftly said as I gazed into Arsene's eyes. No words were spoken as he merely studied my broken appearance. I did not know how phones really worked, so I simply clicked accept, not knowing a video image of Arsene would appear.

"Are you Ok?" He kindly asked with a heartfelt expression

"Sene," I lightly said, "it's fine. I will handle it."

"Are you Ok?" he repeated, not caring what happened. Yet, his tone was a little darker than before. Nodding my head, tears began to fall as I felt the connection between us begin to act up.

"Are you on Midgard?"

"No, the celestial Palace, but Arsene, you need to be careful. A Soulbender may be heading to Midgard to kill you. Tian Wang, the man who did this to me, will be sending him. He is a low-grade soul bender but one nonetheless. Be careful'

"Can you make it back to..."

"Arsene, I can not leave yet. Just as you have your trials, I have mine...I need to finish it." I weakly said as I could see the anger building up within his eyes. He had the same look he had when he detonated all three kingdoms. It was nothing but darkness in his gaze. He truly is worthy of being a disciple of Baphomet.

"Just make it out alive, Yura. I do not want to end up Like Grey. Wallowing in pity for a lifetime trying to kill Ashna."

Bowing my head in guilt, Arsene severed the connection as I released a deep breath. Wiping my bloody tears away.

"What are you going to do Lilith," Lili asked in a sinister tone, "Are we going...'

"Yes, screw keeping up pretenses. It looks like I cannot count on the Celestial Palace. Getting in bed with Nox, fucking idiots. We may need Arsene for this; doing everything at once is impossible. I need him in the loop, but it cannot be done by phone."

"Then take what you need and leave. Grandpa Tian can only protect you so much. He gave up power. It doesn't matter if he is more powerful, a king must look out for his people, and Tang Wang may be doing just that. You will be collateral. It looks like his dead child dodged a major bullet. Having a father like that is..."

"Yeah, I know," I weakly said as my vision slowly began to wain, "Let's just gather support and leave... its... time to se...a...s.ene.
