The King of Faries is now a Demon Lord-Chapter 30: Irakiel
Chapter 30: Irakiel
An unnatural gust of wind blew in the area making everyone shiver as an ominous vibe floated in the air.
Rael sat near Derek. One hand was placed atop his chest while the other was on the forehead. Lowering his face slightly he whispered lightly.
"You no longer need to be bound by the chains of humanity...."
Golden wharf escaped his from his skin. Sweat formed upon his body. Slowly Derek opened his eyes and saw Rael's blurred figure.
Derek tried to move but felt his brain unable to command his body. Helplessly he stared ahead and croaked.
"Master...r... "
Rael smiled and cooed him as a son.
"...don't speak...go to sleep, you have done enough stalling."
For the first time since his memories got unsealed, Rael had given a genuine smile. He gently pressed his thumb where the eyebrows met on Derek's forehead.
*BOOM!*
Intense energy exploded inside the entire domain. Golden lights lit up the entire black domain. Rael's entire aura turned purple and Derek's golden.
Rael's eyes turned golden in color, his entire body transparent as he kept on injecting otherworldly energy.
"Asura ritual... b-but how?" Ishtar muttered under her breath.
'How can he use it?! I have heard that only Imperial bloodlines, the offspring of the 'Nobility Law' can use it!'
"B-but how can he be a noble bloodline, this is just the lower world...how can something so divine exist here!!!!'
Finally, Rael stopped the ritual, he stood up, a little bit wobbly, and fell on his butt.
Derek was still emitting the golden light from his body, all sweat and blood had already evaporated.
His wounds began regenerating instantly and a peculiar butterfly crown symbol formed on his forehead.
His ears immediately started to twitch and became pointed like elven ears while his eyes turned rainbow.
"M-master...." His eyes were heavy and were constantly closing.
"Don't worry, I will handle it from here... I command you to rest." Rael spoke back in his signature nonchalant visage.
He nodded and closed his eyes. His consciousness immediately drifted into the darkness of his dreams.
Rael stood up from beside Derek and locked his eyes with Ishtar.
She gave out an estranged smile and clenched her fists and loosened them.
"Are you someone with a Godly Constitution?"
Rael feigned ignorance.
Ishtar clutched her palms again, tightly.
"How did you know how to do the Asura ritual?"
Rael smirked.
"Do I have to tell you? I don't think that you are my wife or my lover..."
Ishtar stared at him for a second and did not believe what she was hearing.
"I already know that you are a clone... you should not be much strong I think."
Ishtar stared at Rael then burst out laughing like crazy. Wiping the corner of her eyes with amusement she inspected Rael from top to bottom.
"Boy, you do not know who you are speaking to."
Rael raised his eyebrows.
"Is that so? Then kindly enlighten me."
She flicked her hand and thousands of shadows raised from the ground, all of them looking at Rael with intense anger.
She gave a smug smile in Rael's direction, very proud of her technique.
He simply raised his eyebrows and looked at them with a little interest.
"I am the Demoness of the End, the most beautiful Princess of the Mesopotamian Pantheon. A high priest of the Cock Cutting Cult. You stand before, Ishtar of Sumeria."
Rael would not lie. He was in awe. After all, compared to the Devil Goddess in front... he was not even a God yet.
"Is that all? Then I don't care....even my little slave here can defeat them all..." Rael pointed towards Shi, ready to run away.
This was not his fight. Derek had recovered albeit asleep and Rael was not a masochist to go and kill himself for the third time. Not after he had gained his handsome face.
"Hahahaha...." Ishtar burst into a series of cute giggles wiping the tears slightly coming out from her eyes.
It was surprising that such a scary woman could laugh so cutely.
"Interesting... interesting you really are a funny guy..."
Rael had a nonchalant expression and just raised his eyebrows.
"I am serious...."
Her giggles stopped as she looked at Rael with vexation in her eyes.
Rael looked at Shi who was almost pissing his pants not even daring to look at the black-haired woman.
"My slave....are you going to fight them now?" He smiled innocently and pointed towards the army of shadows and the young ex-devil commanding them.
"W-who is your slave!" Shi wanted to cry but he didn't, if he showed any more anxiety then he was sure that pissing himself was not a far-fetched dream.
"Well, I can't see anyone else here, except you..." Rael smiled while closing his eyes, giving the perfect scary innocent look.
Shi stared at the enormous army and gulped his saliva.
"I don't think I will be able to defeat them all myself including that overpowered devil... Goddess... Whatever the fuck she is."
He turned to Ishtar and bowed.
"No offense."
To which she replied,
"None taken."
Rael muttered in a low whisper.
"An Enforcer deserting a person in need. If your higher-ups found out then you would probably be demoted."
Shi's body froze. His mind instantly started to work faster.
'If I run away... My life will not be at risk... However, will she even let me escape? And if this mysterious boy does beat her and my higher-ups find out that a protector of the realm abandoned his post, forget demotion... I will be kicked out and the whores in the brothels will no longer praise and give me a government discount... I can not let that happen.'
A new fire lit in his eyes as he held his head high.
He started to stretch his body and crack his bones, flicking his hands, he glanced at his audience. His hair fluttered and his irises went white in color.
Out of nowhere, balls of light appeared and started to shower.
*Swoosh!*
**Boom! Boom! Boom!**
All the shadows were struck with light magic spells and fell down. Thousands of black warriors fell with alight beams struck in their hearts.
"Good you were able to guess good that, Light element could defeat them....did you calculate this already?" She asked Rael with admiration in her heart.
Rael simply smiled and nodded, he absolutely had no idea that Shi could use light magic.
Shi's Light Magic had progressed to an amazing degree, especially for an Elf from the Lower Word.
'He is still young...if he is trained properly then there is a chance for him to grow stronger than the current generation and catch up to the power level of Puck in a few billion years.' Rael thought as he wondered what way to use to make him his slave.
The air inside the Domain coiled up and the atmosphere started to get intense. The light element started to brighten the Domain up and spread warmth in the entire interior.
Seeing the change in atmosphere. Rael turned behind. It was time for him to leave.
Shi who was standing in the middle of the domain with a clenched fist pointed his hand towards the sky, opened his palms, and yelled.
"This is my Ultimate Last Resort move-"
A small white ball slowly flew into the air, slowly reaching the clouds shining with bright light.
Ishtar stared at the ball that was in slow motion, intrigued.
"-PROMOFUCKINGTION!!!!!!!!!!!"
*Boom!*
*BOOM!*
The small ball came in contact with clouds of light and an intense blast took place.
Air got pulled towards it like a vacuum cleaner and imploded back with ferocious velocity blowing everything away!
**Crack...Crack...Crack!**
The entire Domain fell apart!
They were back to the world of humans, inside the ruined city where Rael instantly cursed his luck seeing that the domain was broken just when he escaped out of it.
All of them were standing inside a crater, with Shi in the middle, collapsed.
Rael stared at Shi. His jaw open, quickly collecting himself he tilted to look at Ishar, her expression filled with rage as she dusted her black cloth.
"Fuck."
Ishtar finally turned to look at Rael and pointed towards him evilly as her hound devil rushed towards him.
She was no longer the woman who was amused and was instead very annoyed. She was curious about Rael but had thus far decided that she would make him spit out everything he knew by her various psychotic means.
The devil Griles rushed towards Rael, a line of fissure crazily extended outwards on the ground.
Rael released a sigh as he saw the Devil striking him from above. His eyes were as lull as a silent ocean, his body as relaxed as the ship on it.
He lifted his pale hand, and slowly pointed a mana-formed sword above the devil. On top of the sword tip, a small sun shined with a low but high-pitched sound.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
The devil's claw and Rael's mini-sun collided in midair. A thundering noise resounded throughout the entire area.
A velvet-colored blazing energy storm completely shrouded the surrounding space, and the mini-sun also completely exploded, raining down sparks and mist that covered the sky.
All of a sudden, the two's bodies were completely shrouded by cyan-colored and light-blue-colored mana, making one unable to see even a hint of their figure. They could only hear the two waves of exploded intense energy crazily colliding...
It was only after an entire ten breaths of time, did the cyan light and orange light finally dispersed completely. The swords of the two had also finished their last collision, and they respectively retreated backward under the collision's impact.
There was not the slightest hint of change in Rael's expression, and his pair of charming eyes were still as clear and silent as water.
Let alone injuries, his clothes weren't even tainted by a single speck of dust.
It was also the same for the Devil who was on the opposite side. Other than his long hair that appeared slightly disordered, there weren't any wounds at all on his entire body. During that intense collision of skills earlier, miraculously, neither of the two actually received any hint of injuries.
-But just by judging from the expression, the expressionless devil was finally showing emotions, which clearly showed that he wasn't as calm as Rael.
Grimes totally did not expect that such a result would happen. He used his ultimate move that had just achieved initial success, but during that collision earlier, all of his force and gust were blocked by the opponent one after another, and didn't even touch a single hair on her head.
This made him secretly shocked in his heart, and at the same time made him feel greatly ashamed.
In this situation, he understood that there would be no chance for him to win.
Ishtar looked at the devil with shocked eyes! Griles, a Greater Devil in the service of Viole was losing. This was hard to imagine. A devil losing in a Lower World is unheard of, that too a Greater Devil. They are equivalent to fucking Lower Mid-Tier Gods!
Rael looked at the devil and smiled. He raised his fingers and made a gun recoil gesture.
"Bam!"
Thousands of spiritual beams rushed towards the Devil.
*Swoosh!!*
*Swoosh!!*
*Swoosh!!*
There were more than sixty-eight holes on his body, all of them very deep, aiming at the acupuncture points, ruining them all so that he would not be able to regenerate.
The devil coughed blood as he fell onto his knees. His black hair turned into his original red one, tears were pouring out of his eyes, which indicated that he was back to normal.
Unfortunately, his soul would return to the Underworld, only to be in slumber for millions of years until it regains its original strength.
His body started to turn into dust, his tears still pouring out. He looked at Rael with gratitude and muttered in a low whisper,
"Thank you..."
His voice was very low but still, everyone heard it properly.
Rael had successfully freed his poor soul from the grasp of the devilish woman although that may be temporary because Ishtar could probably travel to the Underworld and pluck life out of his soul.
Rael fell onto one knee panting, he had exhausted himself a lot and extreme fatigue had come over him.
He would be straightforward. His body was still Lower Born and had not gone through the Steps of Nirvana that each time appears during ascendence to a higher realm.
This body of his could not handle his high-level techniques.
Rael met Ishtar's gaze and immediately felt his hand go numb. His legs shivered slightly, oh how he wished to pull a nigerundayo. May not be possible at this point though.
He took out his faith swords and activated both of them. Faith swords are ethereal swords that can be formed using Pseudo Divinity.
Immediately the two ethereal blades appeared floating beside him.
[First Faith Sword! Stimulating Property of Provocation!]
[Second Faith Sword! Properties of Divine Essence!]
He immediately started to circulate the Heaven Splitting Sword energy upon the second faith sword and rushed towards Ishtar.
He immediately came behind her using Ghost Phantasm and used his blood art.
*Slash!*
A claw mark appeared on her body!
She frowned as she saw the blood on her back and subconsciously touched it.
"Blood...I am bleeding..."
She stared at Rael and licked the blood off her hands.
Her impression of Rael had immensely changed, he was strong, especially strong. She could see that his Lower Level body was holding him back despite probably having a Goldy Constitution after all he did make an Asura in front of her eyes.
Asuras are creatures who are the Shadows of the people with a Godly Constitution. They are not classified as any species and are special in their way being one of a kind.
*Crack...crack...crack..*
Black raven wings started to sprout from her back!
They were lascivious and looked amazingly luxurious and royal. It gave out a profound aura of suppression.
Her eyes turned red which was easily noticeable through her veil as they were shining in the dark.
Her wings flapped once creating an intense gust!
*Swoosh!*
She appeared behind the invisible Rael who was using the first form of his Ghost Phantasm hoping to fool her.
"You think such petty tricks can work against me? I am the fucking Demoness of the End, one of the strongest entities in the God Plains." She smiled amusingly.
*Slash!!*
A trident slashed his body apart in mere milliseconds.
He fell to the ground bleeding, surprisingly he could not move even an inch. His invisibility also came off, enabling Ishtar to look at him properly.
"The blade is coated with the most dangerous, God-Slaying poison you see..." She smirked looking at the fallen down Rael. She knelt on her knees, her two hands holding her face.
She was like a child sitting on the ground looking at some interesting creature.
'Is this the end.....'
Rael had many thoughts going through his mind, his deepest regret was ever coming to the Auction. It had not even been a month since he awakened his memories lest a week.
'I can't die so fast now....right?'
He sighed and looked at the sky, it was most probably five in the morning.
He started at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity.
He found the darkness strange.
The millions of bright stars were dotted on the black canvas of night, yet none of that light seemed to filter far enough down to make any difference when he turned his eyes away.
This was a blackness that he could recall seeing before - one that was almost absolute.
"The abyss..." He muttered.
Ishtar looked at him and thought that he had done crazy due to the shock.
''There is no justice in the laws of nature, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The Universe is neither evil nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don't care, or the Sun, or the sky. Then why should I care...?" He chuckled bitterly.
Ishtar was listening to him with keen ears and could not help but agree with him.
He smiled bitterly.
"However, I do care. In fact, I do not want to stop caring, and because I care... I can not die here.. after all-" '-I still have not seen the completion of my statue... and my family.'
As soon as the last sentence flashed through his mind. He willed his almost collapsing heart to forcefully pump blood uncaring about the poison.
His cells grew impure and died slowly but he willed them to regenerate. His mitochondria failed to create energy but then he willed for it to work no matter what.
From organs to organelles. He controlled every part of his body from the deepest to the topmost to work properly.
He was not dead. At least not yet. His body was working... through sheer fucking willpower.
Deep inside Rael's heart....something opened up....a part of his soul that he knew about but was too mysterious for him to research.
Inside the deep clear sky of his Soul Sea, a seed started to take birth.
The seed quickly grew up into a shoot and then turned into a plant.
The plant kept on growing and growing and became a tree.
The tree kept on growing, its branches started to bear more branches which started to bear leaves.
On one particular branch, a clear white-colored flower bloomed.
It looked like the million lights of the milky way, it was the whitest of all the white. From the flower, a drop of liquid fell onto the ground slowly.
*Drop!*
The zillions of words that Rael had read in 'nothingness' flashed through his mind.
Every word hurt him.
There was immense pain that was striking his astral body once again.
However, a few sentences had been translated for him and they flashed through his mind engraving themselves on his Soul and Mind.
'The ego is impatient because time is limited...But the spirit is patient because it is eternal....'
*BOOM!!!*
Energy fluctuations increased in the air. Ishtar immediately took a step away from Rael.
'Did he gain enlightenment on the verge of death?' Ishtar wondered.
Rael's body floated into the air, ethereal golden butterflies started to surround it flapping their wings happily.
His hair started to grow to show no signs of stopping. His silver hair was longer than even that of Rapunzel.
He slowly opened his eyes which were now golden in color instead of his usual violet.
They were giving out a profound aura that of his years of experience.
Under his eyes, everything bowed!
All the insects and animals nearby fell into silence!
The trees started to sway in his direction to kotow!
The wind stopped blowing to pay its respects!
The dry ground started to give birth to plants, trees, and flowers!
He touched one of the butterflies with his long fingers and, it broke into many more butterflies.
His face was like snow, cold but beautiful despite his disgustingly creepy smile.
However, one thing was for sure...
Beauties and men from all the realms, be it the Celestial or the Godly! All would fall in love with him!
*Swoosh!*
Suddenly a pair of beautiful butterfly wings sprouted from his back. They were the most beautiful wings ever...it put all winged creatures to shame!
All the butterflies started to merge and a halo crown was formed which floated atop his head.
A King rules and a God blesses while a Devil lusts however he is none of those at the current moment.
So what should he do? The answer is easy.
Irakiel does whatever the fuck he wants to.
