Chapter 39 - Monster in Disguise

(PREVIOUSLY)

"It's been a day since we've been trapped in this world, and there's hardly anyone exploring the biomes or working hard to level up. They're all cooped up inside their rooms, praying that the gods will do something to save them, how foolish." Lilith sat at a massive oval table, swirling around red liquid inside her cup.

The room was dimly lit with candles as chandeliers hung from the roof. The windows were covered with red curtains blocking out the sunlight, and the three butlers that stood behind Lilith were quiet as a church mouse.

They wouldn't dare talk when she was in the middle of her ranting.

"It doesn't help that I feel split personalities," Lilith proclaimed, taking a sip of the mysterious liquid, "It is me, Lilith, in this world, but my previous self was known as Amelia." She sat the wine glass down, closing her eyes in thought, "With two individual personality's inside of me, they fused together as if they came to an agreement to work with one another. I suppose it's from how I made Lilith's personality inside the game; she's understanding, and quite witty when it comes to peculiar situations like this."

Tocka sat across the table, eating a chicken leg, and responding with, "Is that so?" he mumbled, mouth full of food, "So Lilith who exists inside the game, fused together with Amelia, who existed in the real world?"

"Precisely."

"Dat makes a lof a shensh," Said the gluttonous Tocka.

"You don't seem too surprised, Tocka, have you seen this happen with other players?" Asked Lilith.

"Nope, haben't sheen eht!"

"You damn oaf, I can't understand a single thing you're saying! Swallow your food correctly!!"

"It's shoo good!" Tocka sat down the chicken leg, hitting his chest a few times until it all went down, "Bwaaah!" He let out a gasp of relief, grabbing the cup of water next to him, and chugging it whole, "That's much better."

"I do understand that I said we're players at heart, Tocka, but you can at least show some manners in my presence. I am royalty, you fool."

"Ah… right… yeah, sorry about that, kinda got carried away with the food. It's been so long since I had a full-course meal."

"Keep that act up, and you won't have something as delicate as that in months!"

"I am truly sorry!" General Tocka stood up from his seat, bowing his head before his superior, "It won't happen again."

Lilith sighed, turning around to face one of her butlers, "Isla, do you mind cleaning up the mess that General Tocka has made?"

"Of course my lady," Responded the female butler, approaching the table with a handkerchief, mini broom, and dustpan.

"Tocka, take a walk with me if you will."

"Yes, mam!"

Lilith stood up from her seat, approaching the exit from the dining room.

Tocka accompanied her, keeping his hand on the sword's handle at all times.

"After my personality's fused into one singular consciousness, my morality as Lilith overpowered my morality as Amelia. In other words; I wish to fulfill Lilith's wishes, and that is to have revenge upon Emperor after what he's done to me."

"Revenge against one of the Great King's?" Asked Tocka, worryingly, "How will we go about that? Wouldn't that lead to war?"

"Yes, it would," said the smug Lilith, walking through the corridor.

"Then… why go to such lengths? I-I'm not trying to question your actions, but doing something like this doesn't seem right, especially in these times."

"Why go to such lengths, you say?" Lilith stopped in her tracks, giggling, "Lucifer is the one starting the war between Emperor and Angelica, we've already discussed this together in our free time."

"What?!" Tocka widened his eyes, gritting his teeth, "That's ludicrous!!" He shouted.

"Hmm?" Lilith turned around, glaring him down, "How exactly is it ludicrous?"

"B-Because… we're supposed to be helping one another, not killing each other off! Lady Lilith, you yourself could see the dire situation we're in, so why partake in this war, and not try to stop it?!"

"Emperor deserves death." Lilith scowled, surrounding herself in a darkish aura, "Betraying me and my promise for his own desire!"

"…!!!" Tocka rooted himself in place, frozen from sheer fear, "This… aura!"

"Before Lucifer left our group, Emperor promised me that he would help protect the Abnormal race from that idiotic humanoid race! He said that he would be by my side so there could be peace between the two!! Peace between the abnormal's and the humanoids!"

"Ghhh…" The aura would force Tocka to kneel.

He stared sweating all over his face, feeling his body corrode away into nothingness.

Quite literally.

("This is Lady Lilith's Nihilism! At the very core of her being, she embodies the rejection of all things. She rejects her existence and nonexistence, her mind, body, and even soul. She represents nihilism in its complete form!")

Tocka looked down to see his hand slowly corroding away into blackness.

The blackness traversed upwards, engulfing his arm.

He felt the need to scream but was too scared to do it.

He couldn't muster any words but only kneeled in terror.

("She's rejecting my existence entirely. At any second, I'll become nonexistent and be absorbed into her nihilism forever. Once I'm gone, I'll be erased from causality as if I never existed in the first place!! Fuck… I need to move… I must… move!")

"You don't understand my pain… Tocka! You question your ruler and hesitate to follow through with my orders, therefore, I'll reject you from existence."

"…L…Lady…Lilith, stop!"

Lilith raised her hand, further corroding Tocka into nonexistence.

"You disappointed me for the last time."

"I…understand what I must do now… so… let us work together!!"

"Hm?" Lilith raised her brow, slowly lowering her hand, "Work together? And how will you do that, Tocka?"

The blackness surrounding the general's body would cease, crumbling away the darkness around his arm.

Tocka fell forward, planting his hands on the floor, panting in exhaustion.

"Let us steal their Guild Badge… and use that to our advantage!"

"Oh?" Lilith crossed her arms behind her back, walking towards her panting soldier, "Steal their guild badge? Fuhuhu…~ what an interesting idea." She placed her small hand underneath his chin, lifting his head.

"…Yeah, it can work! A Guild Badge is important for any guild, so stealing it would give us the advantage, don't you think?"

"Indeed. Emperor has spies inside of the South Continent, watching Lucifer's every move. Once they hear the news of Lucifer preparing to attack the West Continent, they'll report back to Emperor and give him the news. During those times, he will completely forget about me as being a threat, and focus solely on Lucifer," She covered her mouth, tittering, "Not to mention, Lucifer and Belial are already planning on capturing members of the Phantom Mutiny in secret, which will draw out the other guild members!"

Lilith would help Tocka from the ground, holding onto his hand.

"Once they're drawn out, we'll have our beloved, Astoria, use her ability to steal one of their Guild Badges once their guard is down."

"Incredible…" Muttered Tocka, "You thought all of that out… in such a short time. You really are fit to be called a Great King, Lady Lilith."

SMASH!

"Gaaaaahhh!!!" Tocka wailed in pain once her sole stomped on his foot, crushing it into the ground. Tocka fell back to his knees, grunting.

"Do not think you won't receive punishment for your doubts earlier, Tocka."

"P-Punishment? What will it be? Please spare me great pain… Lady Lilith."

She stepped off his foot, circling around his body, creating suspense in the atmosphere.

Tocka could only close his eyes and bow his head, hoping for the best.

Lilith placed her hands upon his shoulders, leaning forward to press her flat chest into his head, and whispering into his ear.

"Since you've been a bad boy, you deserve a punishment fitting for a bad boy."

"What are you implying, my lady?" Asked Tocka, closing his eyes, and whimpering like a frightened pup.

"A spanking perhaps? Hmmm… no, that's quite merciful," She wrapped her arms around his neck, grinning at his frightened expression, "Maybe ruining your manhood would do?"

"Ruining… my manhood?" Tocka opened his eyes, dripping with sweat as he slowly looked at Lilith.

His expression was full of dread and anxiety.

Lilith is usually calm and collected, but when she gets angry, she becomes a completely different person.

She's sadistic, masochistic, and driven with a sexual urge to ruin her victims in such ways that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

She was a monster as her race implies.

"Yes, perhaps starting with your bottom, then moving to your mouth, and then chastising your member. After I'm done with you, you'll be feminized until you're unrecognizable~!" She licked his cheek, hearing him sob.

"No… please, you can't! Anything but this… I'll even take pain over something so cruel!!"

"Every day you'll wake up to see yourself in the mirror, reminding yourself of your mistakes committed against me. You'll regret every waking morning, and every sleeping night."

"But… I was just… being rational! You understand, r-right?! You know I'm always rational, Lady Lilith, so of course I'll question things!"

"Goodnight, Tocka." Lilith had rejected Tocka from staying awake, thus, putting him in a state of slumber.

She stood over his body, eerily grinning.

"This is going to be fun~! Let's get started, shall we!?"
