Chapter 58 - Bon Appétit (2/2)
Just like a puppet, he was being controlled by a master. With his autonomy gone, what is Simon? He is a slave.
”Not many can go through the ceremony at this age. I had to scour many ancient texts to find this loophole in the A.d.u.l.thood Ceremony. With this, I can have you as my mate and you can have an early awakening. You see, everyone is happy.” Malece laughed as she gestured towards a floating obelisk in the centre of the room. With a glowing red colour, the obelisk gave off a pulse of energy, invigorating both of the devils.
'I am married now.' Simon inwardly sulked with his deadpan expression.
”THROUGH THE POWER OF THE ASURA, YOU HAVE BEEN UNITED. YOU WILL BOTH RECEIVE THE ASURA'S BLESSING.” A light of pure crimson erupted in the room, blasting rays of warm energy at the two devils. The rays of energy hit Simon with the force of a truck, Sending waves of unfiltered power into his body, sending him into frenzy. Malece had a much calmer reaction, instead, meditating to the energy and focusing her eyes more towards her prey. With her eyes glowing pure crimson, she seemed no different than before.
”AAARGH!!!”
BOOM
Simon's c.h.e.s.t exploded, sending his blood flying in every direction. The smell of corrosive blood became plastered across the once sensual room, creating a scene right out of a horror story. With so much blood outside of his body, Simon began to feel a bit light-headed.But just as he was about to give out, a purple light shone from him, veiling his gaze in it's presence. Amidst this hell, he felt a calm.
”It seems that I have finally reached the 8th rank.” Malece spoke as she examine her own body.
”The ceremony gave me much more strength than I originally anticipated. It seems I do not need an heir tonight.” She continued.
”Oh! Have this.” She said as she poured a green liquid over Simon's stomach, causing it to glow green with a warm aura of healing. Within minutes, the wound healed and Simon returned to good health, almost as if he had never been damaged. His bindings were also undone, letting him feel freedom once more.
”However, even though I may not be in desperation any longer, I expect you to be ready within 2 years. For now, you may lea-”
”No.” Simon pushed her onto the bed. In a drug fuelled state, he no could longer control his carnal appetite. Knowing that the one underneath him had forced him to become her partner, he could only dine on her.
”Bon appétit.”
