Chapter 43 - The Fall......

A fall....

Just a fall....

[New Skill Acquired: Corruption]

A figure of a person fell and glided to a bed of white flowers

The flowers glided his fall but as he touched them they turned a crimson blood red

"Am I here?...." (MC)

Well... Hi again

Yeah I know your wondering what's going on and why the POV switched so quickly

To put it simply welcome to the Underworld

Oh and I have combined my 3 Systems

Behold The Bête Noire System

[Hello Master]

So you said something about my new skill?

[Corruption]

1/5

Let me guess you're not gonna tell what it does

[Correct]

Well, I made you that way so I don't know why I even asked

I inspected my surroundings and the Underworld, despite it being the whole opposite of The Overworld aka Human Realm it don't feel much different

Sure, it's much vast and a bit empty with some switched colour palettes, the terrain is also a bit crazy but it still feels the same

I wandered throughout the open field full of blue rocky cliffs and jagged mountains with bright purple grass. Flowers also seemed to litter everywhere but The White Flowers-

[Devilions]

But the Devilions are pretty rare and whenever I touch them they curl up and turn Crimson Red

Corruption

2/5

Bruh I don't even fully understand Corruption you should just name it Flower Killer because that is a much more accurate description

I notice a human...? No, it's a Demon, I noticed the horns and tail and particularly sharp teeth

"AHHHHHH! HELP!" (Demon)

A one eyed bat monster with 4 wings attached to it like an X chased after the Demon before it saw me and sped forwards

"Look out!" (Demon)

I catch it mid flight as I examine it in both fascination and curiosity, it shouts in pain and agony as black marks and lines appear all over its body, soon it turns a lifeless black and dark red before disintegrating into dust

Corruption

3/5

The demon stood there shocked before running over to where I stood

"I'm so sorry! Are you ok!?" (Demon)

"I'm fine how about you? Looks like it gave you alot of trouble" (MC)

"Yeah... I'm pretty pathetic aren't I? 😅😓 I couldn't even kill a Eiflay" (Demon)

It lowered it's head

"Hey don't look so dow-" (MC)

I was again interrupted by The Bête Noir System

"Like I was saying, don't look so down, you oughta have a smile on your face" (MC)

Alan's face twisted into a horrifying sick smile, he loomed over the demon oblivious of what he was going to do.

"You..... Think so?" (Demon)

Alan spread his jaw wide and and in the next second the demon no longer had a neck

[New Skill Acquired: Devour]

Devour

Alan began to rip apart the demon's corpse tearing and devouring his body and flesh before there was nothing left

[Those 5 level up aside with your Level, they are the 5 Cores which make up the Bête Noir system and when leveled to certain points they evolve into stronger and more powerful Cores you can utilise, it also extends your limit so you can gain more power]

Right I put a limit on myself to see how strong I can get on my own, although if it's just a teeny bit like my other worlds there would be no point as I would probably get some op ability or item from the system

Chaos Lord

1/10

I agree with you on that one.

From what I've seen it looks like the Underworld isn't all that doesn't different from the Overworld... Except the demons and magic

So there must be a city right?

I wander the lands hoping to find a road or something

In the distance I see a camp with- it's slavery long story short it's slavery

Look at it, there's a guard wearing a blue military uniform holding a shock whip watching demons mining ore with a slave collar around their necks

What kind of fucked up BDSM play is this?

Oh wait right it's just slavery, let my mind wonder a bit there

I wanna test out my new abilities so let's a go killing! Yahoo!

Lightning strikes my position as I dissapear and reappear behind a slaver

"What the hell!?" (Slaver(

CROSS

I plunge my hand into his heart and did something your dad wished he could do all those years ago and pull it back out

He wasn't injured nor was there any bleeding or damage, but in my right hand was a glowing red soul

"No.... Give it back..." (Slaver)

He fell to his knees and reached his hand out weakly, I stared at him before absorbing the soul

[Red Stage 4 Demon Soul]

[Obtained: Demonic Bloodkin Martial Arts]

[Bloodline: Killer Instinct]

[Magic: Level 8 Smoke Manipulation]

Levels and Stages? Bête tell me what's the highest

[Level 10 and Stage 10, the colour decides what stage the person is]

I use this Killed Instinct and see everyone highlighted in colour and their stats

No one is really that powerful but then I sense a overwhelming destructive force but it also feels like it's being suppressed

[Dark Blue Stage 10 Half Angel Half Demon]

What the actual fuck is an angel doing down here? And most importantly what can I loot from their soul?

I should probably take care of everyone else first

But what skills do I even have that can draw everyone?

Chaos Lord? But I'm pretty sure that's just for show although I'll try it out anyway

....I don't feel different

Unknowingly our little MC here released an aura/pressure equaling to a Chaos Lord

So basically Edgy was not a joke skill it was basically measuring your ability to Bluff, Intimidate, 'Persuade' and Taunt people

~In The Underworld~

A Force- No, Aura had appeared in the Underworld. It was a announcement, a new Chaos Lord has emerged and they let themselves be known

Currently, the other Chaos Lords had a mix of feelings but all of them agreed on one thing

This Aura is one not to be ignored

In the mountains was a man sat in a lotus position covered in leaves, still as a statue, he wore a straw hat and a katana had been plunged in the ground infront of him, his eyes glowed a golden hue

"Finally.... Something interesting" (???)

Similarly, atop a throne made of bloodied bones was Mira, The Bloody Empress. Her red crimson eyes darkened to the colour of blood as she looked throughout the balcony

She wanted to just sit down and relax enjoying the view but this presence caught her off guard

A crow flew on her shoulder

"Find out who- What that was..... NOW!" (Mira)

Shing~

The Blade cut through like a hot knife through butter

His cloak fluttered in the wind, the sky above him turned purple while the water around him red

"Kristel, do you feel that?" (???)

The blade buzzed

"Of course I did, what do you think it was?" (Kristel)

He ripped off the door basking in the sunlight and breathing in the fresh air of the underworld for the first time in 50,000 Years

"We're about to find out" (???)

Occurrences like this happened across the Underworld, it was the Excitatio Dominorum, a event so extremely rare and caused fear across everyone who noticed it

Why was it scary? Oh no reason, definitely not the fact that god like beings who were either passive or presumed gone/dead had now appeared and something had peaked their interest

While the world was in a mini-apocalypse, Alan turned off the skill after deeming it useless

The slavers sensed it being so close and the target was Alan, they knew that a Chaos Lord was near and their first instinct? Run

Alan sensed the fading figures and realised they were running away

"Wait hold on! I still have to kill you!" (MC)

This heightened their fear and they ran faster than your dad when he said he was going to get some milk

Godamnit they all ran away thanks alot Chaos Lord- wait why is it level 8?

Chaos Lord

8/10

Welp fuck that at least they left the Half Angel

Entering the tent I see the half angel

It's face of relief quickly changes into a Oh Fuck face when it realises I'm here to kill it

"Imma just kill you now since you're technically at fault that I can't absorb all those other guys souls" (MC)

"WAIT WAIT I'M ON YOUR SIDE YOUR SPONSOR SENT ME!" (Half Angel)

Stopping, I look at he/she/they/it idk, when face to face, the angel looks really ambiguous

"Which one?" (MC)

"What" (Half Angel)
