The black crow transformed into a humanoid shadow. Cold breeze of winds surrounding the whole room. Hanabis bowed to his master as he fused into Sylvester's body.
Sylvester groaned. His sweats cling into his forehead as he feels the dark energy flowing and crawling into his body. His red hair and dress flutters, all the seven marks in his body glowed as his red iris gleam into a radiant red.
He can feel it. He can feel his soul emerge into his new body. As dark mana blend into his new core, the red seven marks amalgamated, forming a web of spiders connecting each others.
It takes almost ten minutes for his painful transformation to finish. His heavy breath echoed the room. Sweats cling and snuggled, he leaned unto the footboard slat of the bed. He closed his eyes. 'Only half of my power came back.'
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a darker shade of red iris. He clenched his fist in rage.
Half of his power has been sealed.
He knew the other gods won't let him off by just vanishing him. His power got sealed. And he can't return into his godhood. Anger flashed into his eyes.
He rises from the carpet and walks into the huge mirror.
His face changed fifty percent into his real appearance. His red hair turns darker, his face got smaller and his height got taller.
His skin got paler and translucent, making all the seven marks on his body more noticeable. His brow was slightly arched, and his long eyelashes flutters. The runic words on his iris turns into seven small lotus emblems, similar to his seven tattoos. His nose was small and pointed, and his lips was redder than before. And the most distinguish feature was the tear mole on his left eyes.
He's overall appearance was both handsome and beautiful. Creating and androgynous charm that can hooked both men and women.
"Hanabis."he called out.
A shadow emerge in his body. "Yes master?"
"Is yuno sealed?"his tone was neither sad nor angry.
"Master, I only gather all dark aura on those valleys. Yuno has been sealed into an unknown force. I believe the god Triano made the sealed."
"Then why are you only telling me now?"
Hanabis gulped. "M-Master I only knew that after I went to the dark valley but master... I think the seal is not in the heaven."
Sylvester narrowed his eyes and slowly releasing his dark mana. Sensing the sealed power, but he didn't feel anything. He sighed.
"So are you telling me that Yuno has been sealed not in heaven but in this mortal world?"
"I think so, master. I feel a little aura of Yuno's when I wander around. I tried to follow it, but it immediately disappeared. Furthermore, I didn't feel anything after that." Hanabis explained, afraid of making his master disappointed.
Sylvester chuckled. "The gods really knew that they can't kill me. They are expecting me to reincarnate into this mortal world. Sealing Yuno and making it a trap for me. Really bothersome."
Hanabis remain silent. He knew his master was the second powerful god in Heaven. The other gods was furious and rage by his master's power and position. He was scheming in evilness yet the other kind-hearted god was filled in envy. Such hypocritical.
"Hanabis when was the last time you feel the aura of Yuno?"
"Three years ago."
Sylvester nodded. "You can go back."
Hanabis merge into his body. A sudden knocked came into his room.
"Come in."
Elvis entered and bowed. "Young Master, the Duke has summoned you in his study." He slowly glances at his master when he noticed something different.
His master was known for being a beauty, surpassing even his other sisters. But today his master was slightly different. To be precise, he got even more beautiful and handsome. The tear mole on his left eye was alluring and the colors of his lips, hair and iris was darker than before. He gulped while slightly getting heated. 'Damn, don't stand up, you pervert member!'
Sylvester knew that his servant notice the change in his appearance. He straightened his back and nodded to the flustered Elvis.
"Do I need to put your wrist guard and choker, master?" Elvis asked.
Sylvester nodded and sat on the bed. The servant hurriedly get a pair of red wrist guard and black choker on the closet. He moves toward the sitting youth.
Elvis put the wrist guard on his master's long and slender fingers. He distinguishes that the red tattoo was now darker than before. He gulped. It even added to the youth, seductive appearance!
After he finished dress up, Sylvester left his room and he saw Raja waiting for him. His knight bowed and saluted on him, he replied a quick glance and turned directly. He walks slowly and his servant and knight followed behind him.
"Why does young master seems different today?" Raja whispered to Elvis.
Elvis narrowed his eyes. "I know right, yesterday he was approachable, but now you can't help but bow in his presence."
"H-He even look more alluring now. Young master sure can seduce man and woman!" Raja exclaimed in low voice.
Elvis flustered. He remembers a while ago that he got hard by just gazing at his master. Sure enough, his master was born a seductress.
Sylvester didn't notice that his two followers was having a conversation. He was still thinking on how to find his sealed power. Thinking about sealing his power, he can't resist releasing his dark mana.
Elvis and Raja went silent. What is this terrifying aura!
Sylvester restrain his aura when he was almost in the Duke's study. Raja moves forward and opened the door for him. He straight away entered the room, leaving his two servants outside.
He was not the only one in the room. His other siblings was already sitting, waiting for him. When they saw him, they all give him a mocking smiled.
Half a year ago, his other six siblings was eliminated from the successor position. His eldest brother, Gavin, ranked first and will be the next duke. His brother Daniel was on the second place, he was on the third place followed by his fourth and third brothers and finally the last and only girl Glacia. But today, Daniel and Gavin was not here. They were summoned by the King a month ago.
He seated in his chair, since he ranked third, he was closer to the Duke. The Duke was emotionless as he stared at his four children. The others straightened their backs.
"Your brothers will be going home in a week, and our family will host a banquet for the victory of the soldiers."his voice was cold and indifferent.
Glacia frowned. "Why hold a banquet, father?"
The duke glance at her, Glacia immediately stiffened. "I will now publicize my six legitimate children. This is an opportunity and we Obelimas was always promising. I expect nothing less from you all."as he smiled slightly on the red haired youth.
Glacia notice the unfair treatment. She clenched her fist. She doesn't know why this idiot half brother of her was always stealing their attention. Not only that, but she doesn't even know why he ranked third! He was just a pretty face!
"But Father I heard the Protalan, Brasko, Trillion and even the royal heirs was part of the troupes. That means we welcome our enemy in our house?"the fourth son, Clarence asked.
"Third brother is right father, if only I can skin their flesh, it will be fun!" Leon, the fourth son, chuckled.
"Stop thinking wicked things Leon, the crown prince and the second prince was also coming. You can't just act according to your mind. If they find fault in your actions, I can't save you."
Leon pouted and smiled at his silent fifth brother. This brother of his was still the best quality. If only he can taste that jade like skin and flesh, torturing and punishing while his brother was begging him. His eyes darkened in his sudden thoughts.
He didn't notice all of his evil ideas was merging directly towards the silent youth. Such a dirty thought. Sylvester eyes slightly narrowed.
"The soldiers will arrive a week for now. So I suggest that you all stop all of your abusive actions towards the prisoner. Just kill them all directly. It will be bad if the crown prince will be aware of the underground basement."the duke reminded.
All prisoners of the kingdom was sent to the house of Obelima, where they are punished for the crimes. But they didn't know the abusive punishment of the duke and his children.
A week for now, a banquet will be commemorated at the devil's house.
