Chereads / The House of Arcane / Chapter 5 - Unfortunate Reunion

Chapter 5 - Unfortunate Reunion

'Ugh...I can't believe this shit. What kind of demon runs stupid fucking errands AND ON A BIKE AT THAT!! I have wings I can fucking fly and shit! I'm sure if I tried hard enough I can teleport too!' I yelled in my head.

~Flashback~

"I want you to run a few errands for me, Tatsuya. I want you to deliver these." Yuki pushed forward a stack of papers to me.

"The hell are these? Study guides?" I asked and picked up the stack of papers.

"These are Demon Contracts. I want you to go out there and get some contracts signed. As an Archdemon, it is our duty to make a pact with humans. We can't afford to be picky with this so anyone with a Dark Desire, you must fulfill their wish. After all, with the Sin of Greed within you it should be easy. I'm sure 'She' would be pleased." Yuki smiled and placed her cheek into her palm.

"Great now I'm an errand boy. This job has suddenly become a whole lot more boring..." I mumbled and sighed.

~End of Flashback~

'Whatever, I'll do what it takes to make Yuki proud and hopefully I'll be compensated greatly for it!' I thought happily to myself then chuckled lewdly.

I rode on my bike to the first location and parked my bike. I headed up to the apartment door then knocked on it. I cleared my throat and attempted to look very manly.

"Devil of the House of Arcane here at your service. I sense your Dark Desire and I am here to fulfill that desire!" I announced.

The door opened and I looked at the person who opened it. It was a dude who seemed very exhausted. I scratched the back of my head and looked at my Dark Desire Locator. This was most definitely the right house.

"Come on in." The guy said then walked off.

I walked inside and seemed a bit uneasy. I closed the door behind myself and followed the guy to his living room.

"So you're a Devil from the House of Arcane huh..? What kind of Devil rides here on a bike..?" The guy asked.

'You're asking me. I'm also confused on why I had to come here on a fucking bike.' I thought to myself.

"Well that question isn't important, I'd like to request something from you. I would like you to make my desire come true." The guy said then looked at me.

"Sure man, what did you have in mind? And asking for hot chicks is off the list, I don't even have that shit." I said.

"Nah it's not hot chicks I'm after but getting the hot babes comes from this. I would like for you to make me one of the best hip hop artists in the entire world! I want the world to hear my music and love it! So please for the exchange of my soul, make me one of the best!" The guy asked.

"Look man, that's beyond my capabilities. I'm not Satan or Mammon so I can't make that happen, although..." I said then heard a voice in my head.

"Yeah...I wouldn't do that if I were you, newbie..~" Asmodeus's voice said in my head.

'It's her voice. Shit after awakening her I've been hearing her sexy ass voice non-stop! It's a blessing and a curse!' I thought to myself.

"Exposing your weapon to a human like that would cause major problems as well as using our power. You're right, you're no Satan nor are you a wish granter like I am~ But...I'll be more than happy to help you." Asmodeus giggled. "At a price."

'What's the price?' I spoke to Asmodeus via telepathy as I looked at the guy's SoundCloud.

"Well..~ The price would be making me your main partner in the Sin Bringer~ After all I can do so much for you, I can get you whatever woman you want, I can get you Yuki and you won't even have to lift a finger~" Asmodeus smiled.

'Typical Demon Lord trying to bribe me and it's totally working.' I said.

"Nah I'm just fuckin' with you, perv." Asmodeus laughed.

'You're the Sin of Lust and you're calling me the pervert? Very rich.' I rolled my eyes.

"Listen, these humans already summoned you using a Dark Call, so they know about you and are willing to trade their souls for their own selfish gains. As the Sin of Lust I can also bring their desires to life..~ Use my power..~ And it won't fail~" Asmodeus said then get voice disappeared.

"Alright, let's...listen to one of your songs because you called me during the day so I've got more than enough time." I said.

"Great, I've been working on this for a while." The guy smiled. "Oh yeah, the name's Mosada as well."

"I see, my name's Tatsuya." I nodded.

"Alright, let's see if you like this song." Mosada smiled and clicked play.

I listened to the song and lowered my head. This shit was fucking awful and usually I love and all for new kinds of rap.

"This shit is fucking terrible. I'd almost rather be fucked by Lucifer and Satan at the same time. Actually I'd actually enjoy that ehehe..~" Asmodeus said in my head. "But sadly you can't be brutally honest so be a true devil and lie to his ass."

"This is actually pretty good. I can really see this blowing up." I smiled at Mosada.

'Blowing up my fucking eardrums that's what's blowing up right now.' I thought to myself.

"And my friends all say I had no talent! I'll finally prove them wrong!" Mosada laughed.

"Yep. Anyway I'll grant your request...then regret it later when I hear it on the radio." I said and mumbled the last part then summoned my Sin Bringer.

"Yes here we go! My dream finally complete!" Mosada laughed and looked at me.

"I, Tatsuya Hayashi, member of the House of Arcane shall grant your desire and blah blah blah, boring shit and hoopla." I said then the Symbol of Lust shined on my Gauntlet then I snapped my fingers.

Mosada's request has been fulfilled and his soul was now one of a demon. His name appeared on the first flyer and the contract was complete.

I smiled and looked at the contract then left the apartment.

"Did you hear his fucking bars? This guy said he'd punch an old lady for baking oatmeal cookies. Like what? Who would punch a Grandma?!" Asmodeus sighed.

"Hey, Asmodeus can I ask you something?" I asked and got on my bike.

"Sure, what is it?" Asmodeus asked.

"So whenever I awaken the other six, will I constantly hear their voices as well?" I asked then rode off on my bike.

"Yep and trust me, you'll hate it. The difference between you and us is we actually saw each other face to face back in the old days. You have to listen to us, or not." Asmodeus giggled.

"I'm fine hearing your hot voice only." I said then looked at the sky. "Wait can I choose who I wanna talk to as well?"

"Yes, of course. Even though we have a mind of our own, spiritually, we still only answer to your calls as you are our wielder. Even Satan will answer to your calls but he's like a big grumpy old lump who's never gonna warm up to you unless he actually likes you. After all he is Wrath so he's kinda angry like 24/7." Asmodeus laughed softly.

"I see.." I said then looked ahead. "Oh yeah also is it true you were on par with Lucifer himself?"

"Yep. If I say so myself, if I really wanted I could beat him easily! That was before he leveled up on me and became what is known as Pseudo Perfection. Sigh, he's so Prideful that he literally bestowed power upon himself at will." Asmodeus sighed.

"So can Lucifer like beat Satan in a fight?" I asked.

"Hahaha! You're funny." Asmodeus laughed. I stayed silent. "Oh you were serious. Lucifer is the strongest Demon Lord Hell has ever seen. This was before Satan awakened and accepted the power of Anti-God to restore balance in Hell. You see, Satan is the True King of Hell and when Lucifer broke the balance war broke out in Hell with Lucifer reigning supreme over us until Satan used the Sin Bringer to bring Lucifer down. There is order in Hell again but...that was one scary moment of my life. Lucifer had counters for everything and even could weild holy weaponry."

"Lucifer is that strong huh...Oh yeah! You've had first hand experience with the Sin Bringer, tell me how to work this thing!" I said.

"The Sin Bringer is only as strong as the wielder. Sorry babe, but that's all I can really say. I've only wielded it to kill a few Erogelic Babes who were causing trouble for my people." Asmodeus said.

"Only as strong as the wielder so that means...I need a strong feeling huh?" I asked.

"Yep. The Stronger the feeling of that sin is, the stronger the Sin Bringer and guess what, maybe you'll be able to unlock more of it's Mode. You see your president only told you about it's Active and Inactive Modes. There's a third mode called the True Mode. True Mode is a mode only Demon Lords can awaken, think you're up for the challenge my little devil?~" Asmodeus giggled.

"Yeah, I wanna see what all this thing can do!" I said excitedly.

"Well focus on your training. In time you'll learn to use the Sin Bringer and hey, maybe Satan will actually acknowledge you." Asmodeus laughed then her voice disappeared.

I felt more pumped up for this and wanted to see how far I could go. First my goal was to get stronger so I could use more of the Sin Bringer's power then I would try to make Yuki and the others proud.

"Yeah baby! Tatsuya of the House of Arcane is on the rise! Let's go!" I yelled in excitement.

I continued to complete more contracts and by the time evening hit, I had already done up to 15 contracts. Asmodeus really helped a lot with the contracts and I was ready to report back to Yuki. As I rode back to the academy on my bike, my heart thumped and I stopped then I looked surprised.

'Whoa what the fuck was that feeling..?' I asked and felt my breathing getting deeper and my heart felt heavier.

"So...we meet again, Tatsuya Hayashi." A woman said then floated down in front of me with a sinister smirk on her face.

I recognized her nearly immediately. She was the same woman...who killed my girlfriend. "Who the fuck are you?!" I yelled and got off my bike.

"Heh...I see you wear the House of Arcane's Crest proudly on your left hand. That Crest disgusts me and for that I'll eliminate you for real this time. I am Tartys, Fallen Angel of the House of Samael" Tartys smirked.

"Samael?" I asked.

"Samael is the strongest Fallen Angel. He was banished from Hell by Satan because of his defiance against him and the other Demon Lords. He is the Destroyer of the Fifth and Seventh Layer of Heaven and the Destroyer of the Third Layer of Hell." Asmodeus said. "Be careful...a Fallen of her rank isn't one to be underestimated."

"Yeah.." I said then summoned my Sin Bringer.

"Oh..? Look at that toy you've finally been able to summon up! Finally some actual excitement from you...this time I'll kill you and maybe you can join the lower factions of the Fallen like your little girlfriend did!" Tartys laughed.

"Michie..?!" I growled.

"Yes, sweet little Michie, serving Arioch...The Fallen Angel of the Third Layer of the Underworld." Tartys said.

"Tch...Arioch...so that bastard's not dead either huh..?" Asmodeus said.

"Imagine all the shit he's doing to her sweet innocent body..~ Heh...probably having sex with that slut as we speak!" Tartys laughed.

"Don't you dare call her a slut..!" I growled. "She's my girlfriend!"

"Not anymore playboy! I've wasted enough of my breath chatting with you, now it's time for you to die!" She said then summoned a spear of light. "Show me what you've got Devil!"

"Asmodeus!" I bellowed and a pink light shined. I manifested my demon wings then flew towards Tartys.

"Tatsuya, manifest your lust aura into magic and use it to construct a weapon!" Asmodeus coached.

I bellowed and used my lust aura to construct a demonic sword made from my lust energy. I yelled and clashed with Tartys then we entered a battle between blades.

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! This is what I dreamt of, a battle against a wielder of the Sin Bringer! Killing you and taking your Devil Tool will be so amazing!" Tartys laughed and slashed then broke my energy sword.

I grunted and constructed another sword then blocked her downward slash. I grunted as I was sent crashing to the ground at high speeds. She flew after me and threw her spear at me. I dodged it then an explosion happened. I landed on my feet and panted.

"Damn...she's stronger than I expected.." I said and wiped my sweat and smirked. "But this is way past cool...I'm actually fighting and using the Sin Bringer in ways I didn't know I could use it."

"You're a slippery one...but frankly I'm done toying with you." Tartys said then snapped her fingers and ten magic circles appeared behind her. "Die!"

My eyes widened and I grunted. "Asmodeus I need your help here!"

"There's only so much I can do for you, babe. The weapon is only as strong as the sin inside your heart and your will! You also have to take your bodily limits into consideration as well!" Asmodeus said.

'Dammit..! I've basically used up my stamina and I'm getting tired..' I thought to myself.

"Getting tired..?" A sleepy woman's voice said.

"What the-" I said then looked at my Sin Bringer and the Symbol of Sloth shined on my gauntlet. "Holy shit...I'm so tired.."

"Have a rest..." The woman's voice said.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep standing.

"Making a mockery of me, you asshole?! I'll kill you a thousand times over!" Tartys yelled and sent a barrage of missles of light at me.

"Fight...using the Comatose Ability." The woman's voice said. "This power only lasts until your stamina has fully restored. With that said you have only to the count of 20 before your stamina is restored."

I began sleep walking then dashed towards Tartys while in a sleep state. I dodged her missles of light flawlessly and struck her stomach. Tartys groaned and coughed blood. I blew her away and ran after her then appeared above her. She looked surprised then dodged my attack quickly.

"10 counts left." The voice said. "Nine."

"What the hell is this power?! He's asleep and yet...and yet he's faster and stronger?! This- Wait! The Sin of Sloth!" Tartys said then groaned as I punched her face and sent her crashing into the park.

"Seven." The woman said.

I walked into the park, still sleeping and began to feel restored.

"Five. Four. Three. Two...One.." The voice said.

I opened my eyes and my energy returned then I bellowed and my aura surged powerfully.

"I offer more than just laziness and sleepiness. When your stamina is at an optimal percentage, you can absorb kinetic energy, or even stop time." The voice said.

"Whoa what? Okay you're awesome! Do you know what I could do if I could stop time?! Boob groping galore!" I chuckled and did the groping gesture on the air.

"I have so many abilities that it'll take forever to go over them, so for now let's get to defeating this drag of a fake demon." The woman yawned.

"Let's do this!" I said then the Sloth Symbol shined on my weapon and I smirked.

"I won't be made a mockery!" Tartys yelled and flew to me.

"You look like you can slow down!" I said and snapped my fingers then began to drain the kinetic energy of the area, causing Tartys to freeze in the air. Her body was completely immobilized. "This is for Michie you daughter of a bitch!"

I bellowed and held my hand out then a ball of energy appeared in front of my hand.

"You can't unleash that attack you idiot. You'll kill someone innocent in the process." The woman said.

"Oh yeah.." I said then made the ball of energy disappear then smirked and cracked my knuckles then walked over to Tartys then punched her face then returned the kinetic energy to the area, sending her flying.

"This isn't over!!" Tartys screamed as she dispersed into magic particles.

"Oh yeah, that shit felt good.." I said and sighed.

"Niiice.." The woman yawned.

"Alright, who are you oh Demon Lord of Sloth?" I asked and looked at my right arm.

"My name is Belphegor...Nice to meet you." Belphegor said and yawned.

"You arrived at a good time, Bel." Asmodeus giggled.

"I figured I'd help out in some way I guess. I would've slept for longer if I didn't feel impending doom..." Belphegor said.

"Belphegor wielded the Sin Bringer and barely did shit with it, but we can't be too mad at her. She's literally the Sin of Sloth." Asmodeus laughed softly.

"The one and only, now if you don't mind...I'd like to go back to sleeping. Bye bye." Belphegor said then her voice disappeared.

"Wow. Well I should go report back to Yuki about this." I said.

I hurried back to my bike and rode back to the academy. I thought about my victory against my girlfriend's killer but then thought about what she said about Michie...that Michie was now a Fallen Angel.

'Bummer...' I sighed.

Once I made it back to the club house, I parked my bike then hurried back inside and went into the main club room then noticed Yuki sitting at her desk, looking over some paperwork of the club.

"Uh... President Yuki, your Highness mother ma'am." I started.

"Well you certainly took your time." Yuki smiled and looked up at me. "How did it go?"

"It went by smoothly, but I kinda ran into trouble...Fallen Angel trouble." I said.

"Oh I know~ One of my recon members reported to me that you battled that Fallen Angel woman..~ Tatsuya I must say...I am impressed..~ Awakening another Sin within...is no ordinary feat..~" Yuki stood up and walked around the desk and walked over to me. "You deserve a reward for your troubles..~"

'Oh fuck yeah! I've been waiting for this very moment!' I thought to myself.

"You may enjoy my breasts for as long as you'd like for ten seconds~ Fulfill your perversion upon me..~" Yuki smiled and looked at me.

'YES! YES YES YES YES!' I yelled in excitement in my head.

Azuki hurried in the room. "Lady Yuki! We have some issues on our hands...The student council requests an audience with you, it is imperative we go now."

'NO! NO! NO! BLUE BALLED!!' I cried in despair in my head.

"Welp, maybe another time, Tatsuya..~ Duty calls~" Yuki smiled then walked past me with Azuki out of the room.

"Worst...day...ever..." I sighed in defeat.
