Chapter 56 - Me and the Devil

Lilith

As my body writhed in pain, I felt fire spread through my veins as I gasped and choked. Cranston quickly came up to me, throwing up a barrier.

"You need to let it consume you!" He yelled as Azazel smashed into the ground outside the barrier as Marie intensified her flames. The barrier started shrinking as Cranston struggled.

"Let his magic consume you! You're full of it! Use the mark!" He yelled as the barrier shattered. He flung his body in front of mine as Azazel descended on us. I grabbed him, flipping him out of the way as Azazel penetrated me through my core with his claws. He lifted me up into the air as I sputtered blood out. Lilly snapped.

I screamed as I pulled myself off of him, landing on my knees. I saw my once golden armor turn dark like Azazel's skin; the crevasses emitting a molten orange glow. I felt my veins burn as they darkened. My fishnet armor morphed into a solid as I pushed myself off my knees, turning just in time to stop Azazel's attack. Lilly breathed as steam rolled out of our mouths, our gauntlet wrapped around his throat as we lifted him off the ground.

"Time to be a good little boy and come back to mommy..." Lilly grinned as I reached out to grab his collar. He cut through our arm, slicing it clean off. We chuckled as it regrew, crouching on the floor, the way a tiger does before it launches at its prey, flexing our arm as our armor re-wrapped around it. We circled each other as he flicked his tail. Flames licked out of his mouth.

He lunged at me; I dodged to the left, his tail wrapped around my ankle, dragging me to him. I swept my right leg, connecting my shin to the side of his head as he dug his nails into my armor, sending a metallic shredding sound as he cut through it. I pulled my leg back, my blade on my heel connecting to the collar as it cracked. I saw a flicker of them peek through before Marie started her dumb chanting again. He released his steam on my body, burning me as I laughed.

I shoved my bladed boot into his shoulder, pulling my other foot free as I twisted, releasing my heel and connecting it back to his neck, breaking the collar. I pulled my legs back from him, positioning myself in a handstand before I left my legs fall gracefully, landing on my feet. He fell to his knees as his gaze locked onto me.

I heaved my chest up and down as Marie continued her chanting, causing him to grab his head as he tried to fight off her spells. I gritted my teeth as I retracted some of my armor on my hand, biting it and drawing blood as I approached him.

He grabbed me, digging his claws into me as his mouth opened, the steam hitting my face and causing my skin to peel back. He latched his mouth onto my neck as he tried to rip it out. I took what blood I could, drawing a rune on him. The symbol was one we used to mark companionship. I drew it as he ripped my neck out. I winced as it healed shut, then I opened my mouth wide and sunk my teeth into his nape.

I felt. On. Top. Of. The God damn world. My magic entered his body as flashes of our time together flew through my mind. I sunk my teeth deeper when he dug his claws into my back, trying to rip me away. The bite mark on my neck burned intensely as my memories flooded into his mind. How I felt, what I've been through, all of it. I felt it connect to his memories. I saw me and him standing together as Lilly and Azazel embraced each other. I felt us become one.

I was yanked away by Marie. She used a spell to throw me away, my back slamming into the ground. I lifted myself up as she stood next to Sebastian, who slightly turned back to himself, slumping over.

"YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HIM!!!!" she screamed as she threw a hailstorm of fire on me. I put my arms up, blocking it as I felt my runes kick in, repelling them. Cranston stepped up behind her, grabbing her in a chokehold as she clawed at his hands desperately. She muttered a sentence that sent an electric wave through Cranston's body, causing him to release her as he buckled to the floor. She wildly turned to me as electricity wrapped around her. I picked myself up off the floor as I stayed in a defensive stance, tracking her movements as the tips of her fingers started turning black.

"Ooo, someone made a deal with a demon..." I said as Marie threw lightning towards us. I dodged out of the way as I quickly brought myself up to my feet, turning and charging at her.

"I won't lose to you! I have Mammon behind me!" She grinned as I halted. I straightened myself out as she pulled her hand back. She froze when it landed on Azazel's midsection. He grabbed the top of her head, wrapping his fingers around her face and prying open her mouth. He reached around, placing his other hand on her bottom jaw.

"Mammon, you say?" He grinned as tears slipped from her eyes. "Well, my spoiled little brat, you got fucked." He rumbled demonically as he pulled, splitting her in half from her jaw downwards. Her bones snapped and cracked as he split the poor girl in half. Her intestines spilled onto the floor as released the floppy remains.

"Told you I'd kill you," He hissed as kicked half her lifeless body out of the way. I locked my eyes with his, sending chills through mine and Lilly's body. My head snapped back towards the palace as I heard a scream.

I dashed towards the source. Troy was running next to me as Victor swung a sword he grabbed, slicing a man's head off. We landed at the top of the stairs as the griffin was hauling a screaming man up. It released him, sending him screaming as he smashed into the floor. Annalise was throwing bone-crunching punches as she fought off the men surrounding them. George was smashing his frying pan into the side of a guard's head, plunging his knife into the stunned man's eye.

I felt Azazel launch over me as I sprung forward, joining him. My bladed heels smashed into the enemy's head as I cartwheeled, sending him crashing to the floor. I pulled myself up as Azazel picked a man up, ripping him in half as the victim gurgled and spat blood, his spine strung out as he was tossed to the side. He spun wildly as I twisted, dodging a sword. I jammed my elbow upwards, shoving my steel point into my attackers under jaw, skewering him.

I leaned backwards as my eyes landed on Azazel, who turned and grabbed me, pulling me up and into him as he took my hand. We danced as he smashed his tail into the attackers. He spun me around as I flicked my leg out, slicing through the torsos of the others. We stopped the death waltz, my hand on his chest as I took in deep, heavy breaths. He placed his forehead on mine.

"Oh Lilly..." He moaned as we leaned into him, kissing him. His grip got tighter on us as we felt his excitement press against us.

"Clam down my love..." Lilly said as she caressed his face. "I want to fuck you too, but there's people around us." She giggled as he turned, looking at Annalise running to Troy.

He leaned into our ear, licking it, causing us to buckle into his arms. He kept me pressed against him, to cover his erect groin as Victor ran up covered in blood. Cranston appeared from behind him, huffing as he struggled to walk up the stairs as a clad naked Kain nonchalantly walked up next to him, picking his teeth. He wrapped his wings around us, covering us.

"We can do it here..." He grinned as he took my mouth into his. I melted into him as my armor retracted slowly. A thought crossed my mind and Lilly ended up saying it.

"No, not here..." Lilly whispered as she grabbed his horn, pulling his face closer to us.

"But what about..." I bit my lip, "Up there?" I tilted my head up at the ceiling. He raised a brow at me. His face contorted into a giddy smile as he realized what we meant.

"Oh, you mean, in the sky, little lamb?" He bit me on the neck, causing me to moan as I vigorously shook my head yes.
