Chapter 424: A Devils Mission (2/2)
Nodding my head in understanding, I frowned, ”So?”
”To reach the Etherial Plane, one must step past the laws of death and life, into a land beyond heaven and earth. There we will meet those who were left untouched since the beginning of creation.” Lilith explained, causing my eyes to widen.
”Correct, but to do so, one needs a source of pure, untouched life and death. Death is relatively easy to find, but something pure like the Oasis is another story.” Added Levithan solemnly, ”However, the gates seemed to be open here.”
”HUH?!”
”Somone opened it before—”
”Whoever did so is dead. You, Lilith, have a key. The person that opened the gate didn't. ” explained Levithan sharply, ”What you two are seeing is the Etherial essence of some monster in the Etherial Plane, spreading its roots.”
Crossing my arms, I quickly began to frown, ”How is it no one can see this essence?”
”You look down on yourself far too much, boy. You're a monarch in the making, carrying three great bloodlines. If you cannot see it, no one can, Lilith as well. There are some that can see it, but it's very few in number. From what I gather, there is a single chosen form Nox here who can see this essence.”
”That bitch?” Scuffed Lilith darkly.
”No, not Yu Jing, another I don't believe you have met, but it doesn't matter. Killing Yael, that's what I want you two to achieve.”
”Why?” I asked, wondering why she herself could not do it. I know power is not an issue.
”It's for your own good, Arsene. The Angels know you are here. Now is the time for you to make a point and start claiming your territory. Now is the time if you wish to force them to back off and gain some allies in the Nines. Kill Yael.”
”Does it have to be here?” I uttered, looking around at the endless hoards of ethereal essence creating thralls at every moment.
”Oh? Do you have a better moment? The pieces are set if—”
”The pieces are in a mess, ”I barked, glaring at Levi. ”The chaos I created on Midgard was a controlled fire to me, but here I don't even know what is controlling this essence or how strong it is. Killing Yael is within my interest, but till I know what is going on, I cannot simply act just to gain some allies.”
”He is correct, mother. Last time, I got kidnapped, same with Ezra. Luring Yael away is simple, but killing him is different, at least till we know what is going on.”
Giggling to herself, Levi-chan covered her lips with her small hands. ”Asmo said you would say so. He also said that if you wish for the throne, you had best complete your deal with him.”
Cheap bastard!
”How is Ezra, by the way? She awake?”
Levithan rolled her eyes, sending a sweet air kiss before vanishing, leaving only her lustful voice, ”She is quite ready to resume her train with you, as am I.”
”Asmodeus is going to kill me one day.”
