Chereads / NEW YEAR AND AN APOCALYPSE / Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: MALICIOUS INTENT

Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: MALICIOUS INTENT

"Waky, waky, sleeping beauties,"

Azazel said, in a tone quite heavy.

That made Jacob quickly jolt out awake,

As Azazel laughed, at the faces they they make.

He looked nervous, then scared, then frantic,

And the demon sure loves it when his captives panic.

Stacy however, was fighting herself not to make any noise,

Since it's quite frightening, to see Azazel stare this close.

Her heavy breaths were noticed by the demon himself,

As Stacy from where she's chained, continued to melt.

Azazel knows well that his full black eyes do look creepy,

But the way they look at him were of disgust, as if his face is something heapy.

Such looks gave him insecurity than satisfaction,

So he then pulled out a sack, to proceed with his experimentations.

"Any guess what's inside?"

"I don't know, your victims that died?"

Jacob answered quite mockingly,

As Azazel then sighed heavily.

"The nerve of you to talk like that?

Do you want me to do something back?

Even Ken didn't talk in such a cocky tone,

Tsk, I'll make sure your words will be owned,"

The moment Stacy heard Ken's name,

She quickly rattled her very chains,

"Where is he? Is he okay?"

"Nah, in the end I made him pay,"

The demon pulls out jars filled with eyes,

One of them had Ken's left eye inside.

Such thing made Stacy almost throw up,

As Jacob felt angry, "This is enough!"

"Ah, you must have forgotten, I am the boss here,

So you should be humble, and look at me with fear,"

"What have we done wrong to you? Why are you doing this?"

"I'm doing this, because it makes me pleased,"

Jacob's eyes widened in the lack of justice in Azazel's voice,

His eyes staring deep into him, as if saying they were merely his toys.

Azazel then began to smile as he walk through the room,

As the space they're in, began to be filled with gloom.

"Not all bad guys need a reason to be mad, you know?

It's just that...it makes me happy to see you ALL in sorrow.

I do this outside of Lucifer's orders,

In short, I find it satisfying to see all living creatures suffer.

That's why I studied Science very well,

So I can experiment on you, till your soul goes to hell.

I want to be the demon known as the most cruel,

I want to be...the very epitome of evil.

Sure, Lucifer did fall as first,

But...I wanted to be someone worse.

I want to be something that would give you chills,

As your very skin, I slowly peel,"

"Please...have mercy on us,"

Stacy begged, as the demon only laughed.

"Mercy had long been gone from my vocabulary,

So you just go and cry ahead,

I'll give you a few hours till you meet your Death,"

Suddenly, someone knocked on Azazel's door,

Making him feel pissed of whatever was the bother.

He opened it then, and saw Astaroth's presence,

Making him bow unconciously,

As he then asked him how it went.

"Mmm...bad news, Michael is persistent,

And...another bad news, our captured angels they're...not as many as you think,"

"What?? Then, what else would I use for my experiments?"

"Well, you can use your human friends,"

The demon pointed at Jacob and Stacy,

As Azazel sighed ever deeply.

"You and Satan need to think other ways to hurt Michael.

I thought you're saving me test subjects but...oh well.

I guess your brutality is always on no matter what,

You should think things carefully,"

"We know that,"

"Then how the heck did Michael resist your measures?"

"Eh. Maybe he's still not pressured,"

"But did you enjoy killing them one by one?"

"Yup! We made sure it's all overdone,"

"Mmm...Lord Astaroth, give me the remaining angels, and ask Haborym if he can gather among humans the strongest,

I'll make sure we still have time to make an army despite changes,

Although the subjects will have less DNA of angels,"

"Okay, okay, but only the physical vessels are the problem,

Satan collected the angel's essence,

So you can still continue with your experiments,"

"Oh. That's good to hear then,

It seemed that I have less problems,

Although I still should not waste a body,

So I'd probably experiment my first phase on humans only,"

"Good luck, Azazel, I hope you succeed,"

"Hah, don't worry, victory will be recieved."

Stacy and Jacob looked at each other with frightened gazes,

As they then think of what may happen, to their bodies and faces,

Their mind, their souls, their bones,

When Azazel with them, be finally alone.

...

Lluming heard Asmo's door recieve a few knocks,

So he quickly transformed into a bird as he flew to Asmo's head and wake him up.

The demon then sat up, waking Sellena in his arms,

As the demon was obviosly annoyed, rather than alarmed.

It was a fine afternoon, and he was supposed to rest,

But whatever the call was for, Lluming felt quite blessed.

With the demon away, he can finally search for Eleazar,

To see whatever happens to him, he'd like to search although far.

The still sleepy Asmodeus greets the messenger,

A common demon, that then gave him a letter.

It was from Satan, and Asmodeus quickly opened it,

And found out that he and Belphegor have someone to defeat.

"Eligorr, huh? We're gonna test the newbie?

Ah, okay tell him I'd be there soon, I'd just get myself ready,"

The demon nods, and walk away quietly,

As Asmodeus closes the door, and began stripping immediately.

"Oi, oi, oi! Sellena is still here,"

Lluming reminded, but Asmo didn't care,

"I need to dress up quickly, besides, my body's her property,"

"Asmodeus, excuse me?"

Sellena turns to the opposite side, as Asmo teased her further,

Showing his naked top, as Lluming then walked towards the lust-filled demon.

He threw his own pillow on the demon's head,

Giving Asmo a surprise, as Lluming then slapped him back to bed.

"Dress properly, and stop seducing Sellena,"

"You're just a jealous and insecure little fella,"

"I'm taller than you, Asmodeus,"

"That's not the little thing I was talking about, Mr. Furious,"

"Okay, enough guys, and Asmodeus, take your job seriously,"

Sellena reminded, as Asmo looked at her flirtingly.

But upon the realization that Sellena and Lluming will be alone,

He quickly felt envy seeped into his bones.

He quickly went to her closet to grab a bunch of formal dress,

As Lluming felt overwhelmed, "Hey, idiot, stop making a mess,"

"Stop talking to me. Hey, Dear, wear one of these,"

"But what are they for?" "You're coming with me,"

"Coming with you? To where?"

"Oh you know, you'd find out when we get there,"

"Asmodeus, a virgin's scent will attract powerful demons,"

"I'm there, so no problem, than leave her here alone...

with you,"

"What? Do you really think such things I'd think and do?"

"Who knows? You're a guy as well, right?

I just don't want her out of my sight,"

"Heh, who's the envious one now?"

"You two, please keep it down,"

Lluming sighed and finally stopped talking,

As Asmodeus then waited for Sellena to try on something.

In the end, she chose the black dress,

But to be honest, in all outfits, Asmodeus was quite impressed.

Although his mind is really not focused on their designs,

But rather the skin exposed of his lovely wife.

He felt proud when Sellena took his arm,

As he looked at Lluming teasingly and even stuck a tongue.

Lluming only rolled his eyes and plans to leave the room anyways,

So he let things be the demon's way.

...

Sellena felt bothered by the fact that the dress Asmo made him try were all quite short for her taste,

It felt even weirder, when Asmo's hand moved to her waist.

A clear vivid memory of trauma in her head then played,

But after seeing her reaction, Asmo's hand unwrapped her waist.

"Sorry," the demon quickly apologized.

"I just think you look really nice,"

"Sorry too, I'm not ready,"

"I can wait until you are, My lady,"

Although his tone is usually flirtatious,

Sellena hoped there was at least sincerity mixed with his words,

So she only held his hand,

As they continued to walk on more.

Upon their way however, a demon's human pet seemed to recognize who Sellena is,

As he swiftly raced to her, as when she noticed him she began to freeze.

"Sellena! I know we have some beef before but..

Please help me! I heard you were a high ranking demon's wife!"

He knelt and cried, and begged for her mercy,

As Sellena felt still, as she looked at him intensely.

She quickly hid unto the demon's back, as if scared for some reason,

Which quickly bothered Asmodeus, to why he was scared of him, than he, a demon.

Such reaction made him automatically assume that this man had hurt her before,

So he quickly held Sellena's hand as they continued on,

His pleas were ignored.

"Wait! Please!" The man called out,

But Asmodeus and Sellena, didn't bother to turn around.

"Did he know I was your first boyfriend?! Your first kiss?!"

The man yelled in anger, as Asmo still didn't care the least.

"Sellena! You should have lost your purity to me than that demon you're with!

I thought you said you'd love me, but that promise you didn't keep!"

Such bold words quickly made Sellena cry in frustration,

As Asmodeus then realized she had been a victim of manipulation.

The other demon that handles the man quickly hold him down,

As he apologized to Asmodeus, although his face is still painted with a frown.

"How dare you disrespect my wife?

Do you want me to rip you off your life?"

The man knelt down and beg on his knees,

"H-help me, please...they're going to feed me to some beasts,"

"Ah, so you don't want to die in the jaws of Lucifer's hounds?"

"Yes! Yes, I don't! Please, I'd make sure I'm useful around!"

The man kept begging, as Asmodeus smirks,

A certain evil in his mind, then suddenly perked.

He whispers something to his fellow demon's ears,

As he then told the man, "You won't be fed with the beasts,"

The man felt happy, and thanked the demon time and time again,

Although Asmodeus reserved him, a new level of unspeakable pain.

He quickly went back to Sellena, as he places a gentle kiss on her forehead,

While Sellena shivered, as her cheeks then turned red.

She was bothered by the man, that's for sure,

So he makes it his goal that he'd give him the best of torture.

After the quick test with Eligorr, he'd come back to the man to give him a lesson,

That you should never disrespect Sellena, in front of a powerful demon.

...

Lluming then crawled out of the door as an ant,

Then continued to look at the dark hallways as a cat,

He shifted to look like the other demons to blend,

As he searches tirelessly, for his beloved friend.

He senses he's close.
