Chapter 7 - Ch7: Phenex Party (2)

Troy Pov

*Don't think too much about the pov for now, this guy is just an OC extra character that I made for this chapter.*

Today was one of the days that I felt the world had shown its brightest side to me and was on my side.

Being one of the last members of the Gäap Clan who went extinct during the war hundreds of years ago, life had always been hard on me.

My whole clan died during that war, causing our clan to be announced extinct and excluded from the rest of the seventy two pillars that were still up and kicking after war.

What did I earn for all the things our clan went through? Just a manor in the Agares territory and rank of Baron.

Truly infuriating and disrespectful to me and my clan that were all pure blood Devils.

I had to strive for my life to reach my current power as a High class devil.

But it seemed my time had come and I was invited to this banquet held by the Phenex family.

I now only need to make enough connections from this banquet so I can use them in future.

"Look at that guy he's from that clan."

I heard a woman in a low voice saying while looking in my direction.

"I still can't believe a member of their clan is alive." The woman continued.

Her partner also looked in my direction and sneered when his eyes met mine.

"Me too, he must have growled like a dog during the war so he wouldn't die like the rest of them."

Hearing him bad mouth my family's deceased members and myself, I felt a boiling anger in me.

'How dare he slander my family!'

"Wow he heard us, look at his face he's red like a tomato."

"Indeed, what I said must have been true and he's embarrassed because of it. I mean I would be embarrassed if I barked like a dog to beg for my life."

'These bastards!!' The anger continued to grow in me, containing it proved to get harder as time passed on.

'Troy control yourself, don't lose your mind. This party is more important than something like that. Yeah I just need to keep my cool and I will get my chance to get revenge on them.'

It was then that I heard the sound of laughter from the other side, it came from a person with similar status to that of mine

I could feel that person who was laughing at me was also at the high class devil level.

"They are ridiculing him and he's just taking it like a champ. What a loser."

Not only that guy but others also joined in. Devils from different status started slandering and making fun of me and my dead family.

'No this can't be it's as if all of them all are in this together... Wait what about the satans?'

I looked at the table where three of the four satans were sitting.

The only one that didn't attend this banquet was Satan Beelzebub.

Other than him Satan lucifer, Leviathan and Asmodeus were attending the banquet.

'Surely they can help me out of this right? keeping the peace and maintaining a good relationship between Devils is part of their job afterall.'

But then something happened that left me bewildered.

"It's a shame that a person like him is attending this banquet. I shouldn't have come here."

The one who said that was satan Lucifer, Sirzechs lucifer himself.

"Now that's a little rude, but I agree with you. He's still useful though, I can make him dress like magical girl and perform with me." Said lady serafall.

...Are they in this too?

"Please don't do that, that thing would hunt me in my sleep if I saw something like that."

Even the always sleeping satan, Falbium had woken up just to say that.

'Why is this happening to me? I don't care anymore who's here, I'm going to kill everyone.'

I got up and walked towards the man and woman that started this, ready to use my power and kill them.

What I didn't expect was that the man also got up and he seemed to be angry about something, confusing me.

"Do you know who even I am? Do you know who my father is?" He said as he walked towards me with a pissed face.

"How dare you talk like that about my wife?"

'His wife? I didn't even say anything... Ah I get it he's saying that and making a scene so he justifies him starting a fight against me.'

Without waiting any longer, I throw a jab and it directly hit the man's face, making him drop on the ground.

"You aksed for it." He said and also started fighting me.

3rd Pov

As Troy began engaging in a fight with the one who insulted him, he failed to notice that people all around him were also fighting eachother.

It was as if something had triggered in their minds and made them fight against eachother.

While they were fighting, at a table two kids were watching the chaos togheter.

"Umm What exactly is going on?" Sairaorg asked Roy, as he was confused on what was going on.

Just a few minutes ago the entire hall's mood was peaceful, then without any reason people got out of their seats and began fighting eachother.

Sairaorg looked at Roy and saw that he was wearing some sort of glasses while eating popcorn.

"Roy?"

"Yeah?" Roy answered while watching the chaos with a smile on his face.

"Did you do something?" Sairaorg asked concerned if someone had found about it too.

"I did." Roy stopped munching on popcorn and continued "You see I got tired of this place few minutes ago, so I decided to liven up the thing in here."

"Wow that's the most you have talked, and mind telling me what you did?" Sairaorg asked curious of Roy's plan.

"Tell me what do Devils have in common? as a member of bael clan I'm sure you know it too well."

"Pride in status and power..." Sairaorg muttered and then his eyes widened "You-"

"It's a secret. For now just enjoy the show with me."

Sairaorg didn't press on the matter any farther and joined Roy, munching on popcorn and enjoying the fights that were going on.

What had Roy done to make all these devils act like this? He simply made them dream.

He first scanned through all the devils that attended the party and carefully choose the ones that had high status either in power or their blood.

In the Next step, he made small dream worlds around all of them, making each one of his victims dream of the same thing, that being their pride and power laughed at by other devils.

Given their arrogant and prideful nature, they still had some control on themselves and didn't fell into the trap that easily.

Which made the next part of dream important. If a higher up also ridiculed them and laughed at them, they would definitely lose it.

Hence why Roy also made a version of the three satans that attended the ceremony in the dream world to manipulate his victims easier.

Last part of his plan was simply releasing the dream worlds he made and letting the feral devils lose.

From this moment on everything else happened in reality and they were beating eachother in real life.

He had turned the peacefull mood of banquet into a battle royal between prideful devils.

All of this just because he wanted for the party to end so he can get back to sleeping again.

One can wonder if Roy wasn't as lazy as he always is, how cunning and devious he could be.

As the chaos was engulfing, a person also watched the situation. A smile appeared on his face "Interesting..."

And that's it for this chapter. How was it?

What are your thoughts on Roy's plan? boring or amusing?

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter and continue on supporting and reading this fic of mine.

I think I might need to buy a slave to write in my place, writing everyday is a tiring job. Any suggestions on how I can find one? Ofcourse I'm joking.

Anyway till next chapter bye bye 👋
