The clouds were dark and the sky was a constant and endless red, as far as the eyes can see, while the atmosphere was filling with Miasma everywhere you go.
The sense of dread hit so hard you will constantly ponder to yourself and ask yourself why did you even come here in the first place, as the feeling this place gives you makes you feel like you are not alone.
As if every corner you go it's like your been watch from all corner, a sense of insecurity fill you as if your very soul feels likes it been played with.
There is no escaping this sense of terror once you step foot inside this place.
That feeling was exactly what this small group of ten people who were been escorted and guarded by a small army of forty knights was feeling at this time and moment.
Even been protected by their armor didn't give them a sense of safety of any sort as these men were all clad in advance mid-evil yet futuristic-looking armor while some were holding broad swords while other Katana and at least 10 of them were holding an L.M.G.
Which translates roughly in this world standard as [Light Magic Gun] these were a more deadly and a more advanced version of modern weaponry but at least 10x stronger and fiercer.
you would think that the world Mercury reincarnated into was a pure mid-evil fantasy-style genre, with a common cliche trope.
well Sadly no as this world has long achieved modernism, to be honest, this world is so advanced it could be considered as a Type-3 civilization instead of a regular medieval style world.
But the reason why these guys were wearing futuristic mix with a prominent old-school looking armor was the fact that these guys are the Empire knights while some were from the Archian church as they worship the God Archian who in this world was considered the God of Infinity and the one true god of this world.
All-knowing and all-powerful, cruel yet merciful, a God that believes over neutralism over all things instead of petty things such as good or bad, to him it is all the same.
But enough of that these group of ten that were been protected by the empire knights were no more than Bishop rank at best which in this world was an alright enough rank to be respected, well more like four of them as the other six were nothing more than prisoners who gave their remaining life to Archian as they now work as pallbearers.
All these prisoners took a vow of silence as a way to free themselves or more like a way to repent for their sins, so in short, they don't talk reason be they will die if they go back on their vow.
After all, breaking one promise or vows in this world is like committing the most horrible crime imaginable as the vows that are taken up by two individuals or more hold so much power it surpasses Archian by leaps and bound.
But unlike these Prisoner and other officials one man stands out the most as his get up alone show is ranks as bishop but he was also the leader of this group.
The young man was wearing a futuristic monocle on his left eye and had a futuristic like royal white cape with a hood and skin-tight golden T-shirt along with white pants underneath.
As he was wearing a full white hood with a sharp-looking gold line was going from the end of the hood to the end of the cape as another golden line goes vertically, the design was a cross-like design if you look at it well
And on the top of that hood was 2 knife-like crosses one on the right and the other on the left signifying his rank as a Bishop, he had white skin and white pair of boots along with a long pair of white glove on each arm.
This man's name was Mathew Card if you just use his first and last name or professionally speaking Bishop Card he was walking along with two other men and one woman that was in a full white Latex suite with a gold robe that was covering her.
And a sash that was golden and tightly tied to her waist she had yellow eyes and grey hair, While there were two twins that were in a full-body white robe wearing golden boots and golden cape with a hood and a cross-like design this time around, along with the fact they weren't much of a talker either.
The girl then said to Bishop Card in a rather shy and serious voice as she was blushing slightly talking to the Bishop like she was glad about it.
It wasn't hard to spot that these two might have something going on but the Bishop was neutral about it or more like he didn't care as he heard the voice from the girl name Magnaline as she said.
"A-Am Bishop Card if it is not too much to ask what kind of kid is in the coffin I never see so many people came out with us when we normally do this, just for one sacrifice why are they taking this many precautions just to escort this heavy pile of stone."
The Bishop gave the woman beside him a neutral look as he said with a miserable face.
"Look I don't know, but word from some of the boys from the top says it's something from the lowest floor of the Celestial dungeon, there also a rumor that the person in here is a genetic fabricated Alpha human, I even heard a rumor it an ancient bio treasure from the treasury of King Solomon himself, honestly I don't know but whatever is in here definitely hold some importance to the empire."
Magnaline had a shocked and surprised face as she said.
"I see *Sigh* I just don't want to go any further in this place, I feel as if my soul is been crush as the fear seems to be coming from everywhere."
"Just praise the almighty Archian were wearing a dispel bracelet protecting us from the pure miasma in here, honestly even my life-saving can't afford one of these I only have about 450,000 VG left as the cheapest and weakest one cost about double that and this is a high level one at that."
Magnaline then looks at her hand and saw the full gold bracelet with a sharp like cross accessory on it; as on one side was angel white, while the other side was pure gold in color as she said.
"I guess your right after all the Miasma only became this pure because it was cultivated within the seal for centuries, if we didn't have this I'm a hundred percent sure we would definitely be seeing some angel by now, don't you think Karan and Keshan."
Said Magnaline as he looks at the twins behind her but as usual, she got the same response which was a perfect unified nod.
*Sigh* "You guys are worthless to speak to as always, why don't you guy just sp...
But before she could say anything everyone froze in place as fear overwhelm them as they all felt something with immense power coming towards them, follow along with a very lazy and uninterested voice as the voice said.
"Neh... are you yall the expected crowd of h-man bringing this week s-fice."
Everybody looks toward the voice direction and they saw a girl about 5'5 she was wearing baggy black latex pants, along with a pair of geta as her footwear, she wasn't wearing anything but a white Sarashi on the upper top.
You could literally see how the Sarashi she is wearing is squeezing her huge breast to make it look like an e-cup pair of breasts, she has jade white skin, along with silverish bluish eyes, While her hair was long and straight and reaches her buttocks but it was rather unique, as the right was black with white tips and the left was white with black tips.
While on top of her head was a military beret that was full black in color with a weird skull with red roses growing out of it and on her left waist were two Tachi katana one black the other white and on her right was a giant black liquor gourd with skull and rose like design.
And on her hand were two black spikey bracelets, she also had a purple skull navel ring, her eyes look dead as they lack any emotion at all but it looks so for other reasons of course.
While in her mouth her tongue was also pierced with a regular black tongue ring normally if anything she seems and looks too human to be under Lilith but in reality she is far from it.
Meanwhile, the scared humans look at the girl in fear as some began saying her name and others were saying weird titles along with various Monikers with great fear under their voice as some of the knights said.
"The God-Slayer S-Sirus."
"The strongest queen."
"S-Sirus Victoria."
"The fallen sword maiden."
Bishop Card looks at the girl in front of him in great fear, normally he didn't do these direct delivery normally they just drop the sacrifice off at the entrance of the seal but for whatever reason Solomon had ordered a direct delivery so he had to do it.
He had to do something this dangerous, and step right into Lilith Citadel he couldn't think of any other name to call king Solomon but a selfish bastard that gives little to the people around him.
What he is trying to accomplish he himself has no idea but he was scared if he had an ability that could allow him to run away from this monster he wouldn't hesitate to do so right here and now, but even so he has to talk as he said while bowing like a gentleman as he said with beads of sweat dripping down his face.
"G-Greeting Ms. Victoria my name is Mathew O'Sicilian O' Rory Card we came here to deliver the sacrifice to your master."
Sirus gave Bishop Card a half-ass look as she drinks a huge shot of liquor from her gourd as she looks at him and said.
"What a stupid ass name."
All the knights look at Bishop Card wanting to laugh but the fear was stronger than the humor as Sirus says in a very usual lazy tone.
"Your a-noying ass name is too long to r-member so from now on your name is (C)."
Bishop Card looks with a pathetic look of embarrassment and shame but tries to hide it and said.
"Pardon me but what did you call me."
Sirus gave him a rather annoyed look as she said with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
"I say your name is (C) you have a p-blem with what I'm saying (C)!"
Said Sirus who actually took her precious time to emphasize the name to get her point across.
"Ehhh... no mom the name is (C)."
"Good (C) enough time has been wasted a-ready let get going to the Castle."
"But isn't that like another 30 miles from here?"
"(C) very annoying I hate already, we take a ride to the castle no more long-ass and annoying conversation."
"A ride."
"Yes, a ride now follow me."
From there Sirus got into a quickdraw stance as she patiently, slowly, and skilfully embrace her hand on her black Katana as she began to breathe and listen, as she was waiting for something till she said in a rather lazy and uninterested voice.
"There."
She then quickly release 3 slashes so fast it didn't even look like the sword move out of the scabbard.
*Slice*
*Slice*
*Slice*
Then when she was done she gently place back the remaining black sword in the scabbard as a loud cutting sound was heard or more like the sound finally caught up with her speed and when everyone looks they saw a bright purple bluish triangle shape light started to manifest into reality as the place Sirus cut fall like a sticker and shattered and a giant triangle portal was open up.
As she began to walk in it saying.
"This way H-mans and (C)."
From there, Sirus walks into the portal she made herself as the people look at her in fear and amazement as the last thing they all saw was a black dragon tattoo as it was biting its own tail in a circle and at the center of the circle, the number 1 was tattooed in red of course some of it was covered by her Sarashi.
As Magnaline said with great fear in her voice.
"So that the 1st ranking Draken of the 6th known Draken the blind reaper, and the Draken of Sloth Sirus Luiaard Victoria the knight of end and Lilith trusted number 1."
"I still find it hard that she is a walking disaster with zero sights in either of her eyes." Respond Bishop card as he feels like he is not getting paid enough for this shit.
Meanwhile, Magnaline could only think to herself
May Archian be on our side?" Said a trembling Magnaline as the fear still remains as she turns around and said.
"Let us get a moving pace guy before that portal closes.
From their everyone walk through the portal and reach the other side of it.
__________________________________
*1 hour later*
Inside a giant throne room, they were quite a number of people of course the majority had been human while the rest or more like Just Lilith, Sirus a mysterious tan skin girl that was dress in a Gyru like fashion but was also wearing a black military beret with the same design as she had the number 4 on her right boob that was at least E-Cup her number was inside a red dragon that was bitting it tails as the number was tattooed in black.
She had a black jacket tied around her waist, she also had wild Pinks spikey hair that reach her shoulder length-wise that is if you look her directly in the face you could see her coral blue eyes and sharp wolf-like claws and canine.
She was wearing a very short mini skirt while on her tailbone area was a fluffy pink wolf-like tail while on her neck was a chocker with a black skull with pink diamonds eyes.
This girl was Draken Rank 4 the Draken of Gluttony Majin Khalifa while sitting on the roof or chandelier was a loli with a red ponytail design in her hair, as it also reaches to her waist she also has red eyes and was dress in a nun-like fashion and was writing something down on a piece of paper.
This girl's name was Roren believe it or not she is head of security here, you see Majin Khalifa was feeding Lilith her favorite food which the human being of this world called Milk bread.
After she ate at least fifty of them which took an entire hour and made the human extras bow down and prostrate themselves before her while she enjoys her meal just because she finds it hilarious these proud Archian fucking believers who take pride in their god is prostrating themselves before her.
To her, they are nothing more than extra as this place was her house and since it is her house it is her rule if she said bow then you bow that is just how things work here as she said.
"I think I made you poor things wait long enough so tell me what is thy offer to pay this week Gold thing."
Said Lilith as he watch Bishop card with a slightly irritated face due to the fact that Lilith referred to him as a gold thing.
Bishop Card felt really frustrated but he had to swallow his own pride if he wants to survive so he said while pointing at the black coffin that had these very words engrave on its front in a weird language as it said if translated properly.
[Man does not know the true face of God] as he said while pulling out a paper and began reading or tried to as he gave Lilith one last look.
Honestly, he can't control his lust around this entity, or more like his fate is been tampered with.
Before Card was very tall woman at least 6'4 she was very thick and extremely beautiful at that, she had Long Platnium hair that reaches her buttocks, thick platinum eyebrows, A really long tongue, and Silvereyes that shine like glass, but the thing that stands out the most would be her long red snake-like tail, and curving black horn curving to the back of her head.
in fact, her skin was fully red as well and her finger and toenail were black, but her outfit was a virgin killer it was too much as all she wears was a short black bra top along with black reverse cross earrings and chocker.
Her navel was also pieces with a purple skull and if you look close her nipples as well along with her tongue.
She wears black lipstick and purple high heels boots, but the thing that would kill it for the Bishop is the fact that her pants and underwear were practically non-existent as she has on a heart shape stick-on underwear just covering her private area.
The Bishop could barely concentrate so he gave Lilith the letter as she began reading and after she was done she mashes it up and threw it back and said.
"Interesting and unique sacrifice my ass you have been saying that bull-shit melody for 35 years and not one boy you brought has satisfied me not even in the slightest *sigh* Majin open that thing up."
Lilith said with a very pissed and annoyed tone as her attitude was getting a little sour with all the bullshit she has to deal with when it comes to these humans.
"Right away my queen."
Majin then went to open up the Coffin as she unlocks it but before she could fully do it she felt a great force push her back.
Khalifa flew through many walls as she was sent flying with the coffin door as everybody watch with a surprising look and heard a voice coming from the smoke saying.
"Yo that never went as plan."
