I am also working on making a custom book cover.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Large crowd of people is cheering for execution. Disgusting, truly disgusting, people are awful,
they should be dead now.
After what happened to me in past Shardox became like a father to me. I know very well that what happened didn't actually happened to me, but to Driza character that i played with and trying to save him would be most dangerous and stupid.
But now I AM Driza and now Shardox IS my only family that left to me, so i must at least try to save him.
I owe him that much.
(Shardox was placed in the guillotine.)
[Now then my fellow citizens we gathered here with one reason, to execute Shardox the Terrible.
For those who lived under the stone Shardox is Demon Lord's most trusted general.
Number of people that became his victims is unknown.
So I ask you what to do with a fiend like him!?]
[Kill the bastard.]
[Burn him alive.]
[Tear him apart.]
The more i listen to these people the more i want to kill them.
[Kill him, kill him, kill him.]
[Kill him, kill him, kill him.]
[Kill him, kill him, kill him.]
Executioner is preparing to swing his sword and execute Shardox.
Suddenly executioner's head fall off and a figure in dark cloak was standing behind executioner's beheaded body.
[Who are you and why did you stop the execution.]
The figure grab his cloak and throw in the air, the cloak then disappear in particles
[I am Driza Ellen Valentia and i am going to kill each and every one of you human scum]
[No way Valentia.]
[I thought that all members of Valentia family are dead.]
[How is she alive.]
[Impossible she is probably imposter.]
Knights of great alliance rushed towards me with incredible speed and i closed my eyes out of fear and panic.
One of knights was seconds away from cutting me down.
I closed my eyes waiting for death to come, but nothing happened.
I've slowly open my eyes, but i wasn't in arena anymore.
I was in dark purple dimension with light purple fog on the ground.
Suddenly i heard a familiar chuckle.
[It is so good to finely meet you in person my mistress.]
Out of nowhere a girl with light purple skin appear out of nowhere with tight dark purple kimono.
She had a mask that cover lower half of her face, a demonic symbol in upper right corner of her forehead and two horns.
She looks kinda familiar but i couldn't but my finger on it.
[There is no need to be scared, i am here to help you lady Driza or should i say lady Darina Hicaguchi.]
[Who are you and how you know that.]
[Ehe. You really don't recognize me, my feelings are hurt, especially since i was the that brought you here in this world.
When i did that i told that you will know soon enough what i mean by the fact that i am your loyal servant my mistress.
Not to mention the time that we spent together.]
[So who are you and what do you mean by that?
I order you to tell me.]
[As you wish my mistress.
I am Arin my lady and by time we spent together i mean our time in Verzors.]
[But is that possible Arin is an NPC.]
[I am sure that you noticed my lady that even for an smart NPC i was far too advanced, that is because i somehow managed to escape for demon realm to Verzors and i need time to recover and gather my strength back so i took over an NPC and change it's appearance and name.
and over time that we spent together talking i really felt sorry for you and i took a strong liking to you.]
[After i gathered my strength and recovered my powers i used them to transport you here as Driza.]
[I see. Alright thank you Arin.
So what now. I mean there is a army of people ready to kill me.]
[There is no need to worry my lady because you see i am just an illusion.]
[A illusion.]
[Yes currently real me took over your body and right now she is killing those human scum, but rest assured once she is finished with all of them she will give you your body back.]
[Alright.]
[Well that is surprising.]
[What do you mean by that.]
[Well i expected that you will be distrustful towards me. You know since i am a demon and all that.]
[Well you said that you took over a NPC that supposed to be my demon and that you changed it's appearance and name, but when i unlocked mechanic "talk to servant" servant was Arin and it didn't changed, so that means that i became friends with you, not a NPC.
So yeah i'm gonna trust my only friend in this world or any other.
Please don't make me regret that.]
[Thanks, you don't know how much those words mean to us and don't worry you will not regret this my mistress.]
{Arena few moments earlier.}
One swipe and the knight that rushed towards Driza was cut in half from right shoulder to left side of his waist.
Then two horns grew from Driza's forehead and her cat tail became more like skeleton tail.
[What the hell is she?]
[I... don't... know...]
[Alright, showtime. Demonic cover illusion.]
No one noticed but thin purple barrier appeared around whole arena.
Driza slammed hold of her scythe onto ground
with blade in air.
[Come Eldaria i demand your power.]
Crowd burst into laughter.
[Is she stupid.]
[Eldaria is one of ten godly weapons. She is vampire there isn't a chance that she could wield it.]
[Not to mention that ten godly weapons is nothing but a myth.]
Some people in crowd said that, but then they suddenly stop to laugh when they saw that clouds starting to move, soon enough they look like hurricane with golden glow in center.
[What is that... a hurricane perhaps.]
One of the knights ask.
[No, i don't know what is that, but i know this for sure, that thing isn't natural.]
Higher ranking knight said.
Suddenly a golden beam shotted from golden center of hurricane and hited scythe.
After the dust was settled the previous soul scythe was no longer there, but instead there was a strange golden scythe that could be only described as godly.
[Alright here we go golden citadel.]
Out of nowhere a golden citadel arised.
[It can't be... it really is Eldaria one of ten godly weapons created by three gods.]
One knight said.
[It is worse then that.]
[What do you mean by that.]
[Well there are ten godly weapons created by three sibling gods a scythe, a bow and katana, while other remain mystery.
Katana was created by Kaiyda goddess of life and legends said that can resurrect dead, bow created by Ryuko god of time and have control over time it can stop it, slower it and speed it up, there are even legends that said that it's holder, with enough mastery of a weapon, can see past, present and future. Lastly the scythe created by Shirzai god of death that weapon belongs to demon lord of ancient time. there isn't much about it but it's said that scythe can cut even souls. Katana was lost around same time as scythe and bow, so it unbelievable that a legendary scythe is here.]
[oh Shut up already nerd, main thing is that we need to kill her now and i won't allow some groundless rumors stop me. I am sure to get a promotion if i claim that scythe.]
[Stop you'll get yourself killed.]
[Listen we are going to kill her or she will kill us as simple as that.]
[Damnit i guess you are right.]
[Humans you are trapped in my golden citadel and no one of you will leave alive and don't expect reinforcement to come because i placed a barrier around arena.
For rest of world this place look completely normal.
Either way it doesn't matter because massacre is about to began.]
Few of knights gulped.
[Golden citadel skill dody double.]
Few replica of Driza appeared in arena.
[What do you say knights of the great alliance shall we begin this dance of ours, but be aware that because you cause trouble for my mistress no one leave here alive.]
[Charge!]
Commander of knights said it, he is a rather tall and muscular man with long dark blue hair tied in ponytail.
He have green eyes, one scar on right eye and one more on left cheek that look like x.
His name is Xian Shin.
[Yes sir.]
When he said that all knights charged in and attacked Driza, but their weapon just phase through her.
[If you can't tell which one of us is reall one this will be rather quick and boring not to mention easy.]
[Stand your ground men and don't let your guard down.]
Three knights were in one group, one in center guarded front while other two guarded sides, but then suddenly their heads fell off.
Mad chuckle could be heard behind them.
[What use is that you covered front and both sides when you left your back wide open.]
[You bastard, that was my sister you monster.]
[Hmm monster. No i am demon that took over my mistress's body, however it is your sister's own fault for being so weak and pathetic.]
[I am going to kill you.]
He rushed towards her.
[Pathetic, truly pathetic.]
She raised her left hand showing him inner part of her palm.
[Death ribs.]
Under knight's legs appeared a magic circle and from it raised sharp ribs and pierce him from all side.
In that moment one knight used his chance to sneak up behind her and was about to cut her down.
He was seconds away from killing her, but then she rotated and delivered a roundhouse kick and hit him in head beheading him instantly.
[Don't think that you can sneak up behind me and kill me just because it seems like i lowered my guard.]
I can't let my mistress body take any damage or it wil be disgraceful.
Knights surrounded Driza.
[My, my this isn't quite fair, isn't it.]
[Shut up demon.]
[You and your whole species deserve to be hunted like a animal.]
[Yeah he is right.]
These people are disgusting, just because they losed someone special to them by hands of someone from demon lord army, they think that they deserve to be hunted like animals.
They don't understand that while they lost their special person to demons, demons lost their special person to humans.
[Dark rotation.]
Driza spined her scythe for few seconds and then stoped and knights stoped as well.
[Why are you standing there attack her at once.]
[Wait a second.]
[What do you me...]
Before he could finish his sentence all knights that were surrounding Driza were blown away in pieces.
Damnit even with all of us here she is still stronger, what could we do.
Wait a minute that body belongs to unconscious Shardox, if i took him hostage she will surrender or at least lower her guard for hopefully enough time for us to kill her.
That could actually work i mean this hell started because Shardox was about to get executed.
I know it is cowardly tactic, but i have no chance.
It is my duty as commander.
Xian Shin rushed towards Driza.
[Oh my aren't you a brave one, facing a high-ranking demon such as myself, all by yourself.]
Something wrong here, he knows how powerful i am or rather he think he knows how strong i am based on what i let him see.
So why does he rush straight at me.
Either way it doesn't matter because i going to kill him here and now.
Driza raised her scythe in motion to cut him in half.
[You fell for it. Shisai flower evasion.]
He then spined in a circle and evade her and got behind her.
Didn't he saw me killing that knight that attacked me from behind, does he think just because he is commander he have better chance.
Pathetic.
Xian Shin then rushed further away from Driza.
[My are you running away so soon, there is no hope for.]
What is he up to?
Wait could it be.
[Don't move or i am going to kill him.]
Damnit i am got too careless.
I can't allow him to kill Shardox, he is very important person to my mistress.
This will be a bit risky, but in a hostage situation like this it is the best option.
Driza rushed towards Xian Shin.
[I am serious, i am going to kill him.]
But Driza didn't slowed down one bit.
[Fine suit yourself, you heartless demon.]
Xian Shin raised his sword ready to pierce Shardox through heart.
[Death chains.]
Suddenly something like a portal to black void appeared beneath Xian Shin and from it dark glowing chains flew and immobilize him.
[Now die you bastard, dimensional slash.]
She swinged her scythe and slash that seems to be cutting through dimensions was set towards immobilized Xian Shin with incredible speed.
Before anyone knew Xian Shin was cut from left shoulder to right side of his waist.
[Death chain.]
Smaller version of same portal that appeared beneath Xian Shin appeared on her palm and a single chain shooted from it and wrapped around Shardox waist and pull him towards Driza.
[Sorry for putting you in danger, i know you are important to my mistress and i am incredibly sorry for this.]
[Demonic protective barrier.]
Dark aura appeared and surrounded Shardox's body.
[That should keep you safe for now.]
[Those pigs, how dare they. I am going to kill all of you now.]
For next hour only cries of agonizing pain could be heard in golden citadel.
These cries belonged to not other then knights of great alliance.
While knights were fighting illusions Driza was killing them from shadow.
She made sure to kill all of them in most painful and brutal ways possible.
and within one hour all of them were dead or at least she thought so.
Civilians were paralyzed from the start of battle, so all of them were still sitting on their sits, some of them soiled themselves watching this massacre, mainly children but there were some adults as well.
There were in people that died because of massive panic.
Surviving civilians were killed in next half hour just like knights regardless of their age, gender and status.
They were slaughter like pigs.
That is how a incident that will soon be know as reverse bloody execution come to it's end.
