Chapter 5 - Clearing the dungeon

Chris got up from the bed,

while he was alone, his soul had assimilated to his body, and he finally felt unity with his current state of being. He also managed to recall a few memories from the body.

Chris sighed, he was currently the lowly Demon avatar of Perversion, who lusted after sex, day, and night. The previous occupant of the body had spent the last few years romping around with these women.

"Haa," Chris sighed.

Chris tried meditating to calm himself, and realized that he could sense the surroundings through his body, he could sense about 40 feet (12.19 m) around him. Murky energy began to seep in from the surroundings into his body, he tried to resist, but after a while, nothing happened, so he let it be. When the energy stopped flowing into him, he found out that he had become stronger, and more invigorated, he tried to move the energy around his body, but it shot out through his palm creating a beautiful slim sword. He decided to take a break as he was exhausted after using the turbulent energy, furthermore he was very satisfied with his progress, as he had been a demon for just a few hours. Moments later, he sensed a group of people approaching his room. They were female, twelve in total. He figured it would be Mephistelle, and the rest of the mistresses, but then he thought, 'why were they all armed?'

Why were they trying to attack him even after he told Mephistelle to talk to them, he believed that even if he were someone else, they would help him because he was currently their former Lord. It seemed he was mistaken, "well, if they are planning to kill me, I might as well return the favour." He said, with a smile on his face, then he laid down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

Mephistelle lead the girls towards the room, making sure to cloak themselves in the darkness, they surrounded Chris's room some laid in ambush at the door while others waited outside the windows and the rest hid in the ceiling, there were no blind spots as they cornered the room from all sides.

'Well, I expected nothing less from Mephistelle,' June nodded her head, she had always known that Mephistelle was cold-blooded and heartless, but she didn't think Mephistelle would be this way even with the master, "I guess she really did hate him, after all it wasn't easy being trapped in this place for over 2000 years."

Mephistelle scanned the room from the outside using her senses, she had organized everything perfectly, 'nothing would go wrong, I'm sure of it, I will finally be freed from this place,' she thought.

Manael and Ocular stood guard outside the window while soloyst, Pyres and Gruella laid wait in the ceiling. The rest were with her outside the door. They would enter the room together and trap the Imposter, the rest would remain hidden and capture him if he attempted to escape. They were armed to the teeth and had thought of all contingency plans in case he managed to awaken a bit of his fiendish powers. She had been feeding the master with poison throughout the years, and she had increased the dosage over the past few days, in an attempt to end him. Even if the Imposter was fine and had mastered a bit of the arts, she was sure the already poisoned body wouldn't last, the fight would end in their victory.

Having scanned the room, she found the Imposter lying down on the bed, defenceless. Not a single protective spell or defence gear could be found.

"Fool, today you will die a dog's death," she gave the signal and Luanns opened the door, the six of them entered the room, and surrounded the bed where the Imposter lay. They were all ready to attack at the slightest movement. Mephistelle brought out her dagger and attempted to stab the Imposter. "Good riddance, I can finally get out of here," as she was about to deal the final blow, a hand grabbed her neck, the strength from the hand was not something she could handle.

"How?" She asked, in surprise.

'She had checked the room the imposter was asleep in. There were no spells or artefacts, which showed he wasn't suspicious of them, on the contrary he was sleeping peacefully, without a care in the world. She had managed to convince him that she would tell the others to accept him. Since when did he suspect her? She had even double-checked, and he couldn't use the demon's power, which allowed him to become powerful the more he did perverse acts. So, how was he so strong?' As these thoughts filtered through her mind, she asked, "How did you know we would do this?"

"Sorry, but I don't trust women who try to sleep with me, they're either trying to kill me or after my soul, and the likes of you seem to be after both." He smirked.

His not wrong, to escape the dungeon she would need to offer his soul in exchange for hers. "D*** it," she thought this would be easy, but it turned out to be harder than it looked.

She remembered when she was trapped here by the celestial bodies, they had deemed her evil and sealed away her powers. She sought to seek revenge on them, there seemed to be no way out until the demon avatar of Perversion entered the dungeon. Incidentally, she had found out that in exchange for his soul, one of them would be allowed to leave. So, she had lied to the others that they would be able to leave together, but that wasn't true, only one of them could leave. Furthermore, she didn't care what would happen to the others if she left, she simply wanted her revenge. She had thought, 'now is a good chance, the demon avatar is weak, and would die thanks to my poisoning,' but a new obstacle had appeared. Not only that, but she didn't imagine that he would be much more crafty than the previous demon. It was a miscalculation which she could never undo, and now she would die because of it, her revenge unaccomplished, she still didn't know how he had neutralized her poison. Unlike the rest, who had committed evil for a purpose; like Manael, who sought revenge against the perpetrators who annihilated her race, or Luanns, who got revenge upon her entire kingdom, Mephistelle, on the other hand had no purpose, she was pure evil, destroying, plundering, killing, and creating malice wherever she went. She was jealous of them, and wanted a purpose, that was why she was fixated on escaping her confinement, and getting revenge on the celestial bodies. 'The rest,' she thought, 'were not as keen to leave this place,' she wished for eternal suffering from the celestial bodies after she had achieved her freedom. Yet all her plans turned to naught at the face of this being, whom she considered a stepping stone to her success. Mephistelle laughed, she began to struggle, kicking her legs sporadically in anger before he snuffed the life out of her, her legs dangled lifelessly as she was flung to the side. The others were surprised, and began to shoot their arrows at him, while those hidden outside the windows and in the roof charged towards him in anger. They were not angry that Mephistelle had died, but rather that their plan had failed. They had known that only one of them could leave this place, and they planned to take him out of the picture along with Mephistelle. Now that he knew they were all planning to kill him, there was no need to holding back.

Chris laughed, 'these girls were really looking down on him just because they thought he wasn't the Demon avatar of Perversion.' He began to gather the tempestuous brio in the air, creating a sword which he used to sever their head in one slash. All ten of them lost their head to that one attack. Chris could clearly see the shock in their eyes as their heads dropped to the ground lifeless.

"Huh," Chris didn't think it would be that easy to kill them, since he was the lowly demon of perversion.

"What was wrong with these women? If they were going to try to kill a demon, shouldn't they be more prepared? Wasn't that just pure recklessness?" Chris said to himself, in surprise.

A female voice rang out across the room, {Congratulations, you have cleared the 1st floor of the Untold dungeon, clear time is 1500 years, 355 days, 7 hours, 30 minutes, and 15 seconds.}
