Chapter 453: The Seventh? (1/2)

Karsa was bewitching, to say the least. Sharp Azure eyes with a touch of sterling, with long silver hair that stretched to her feet. Wrapped in a simple sundress, yet I could feel my heart thumping madly through my chest, strangely enough from the Spear of Noctem.

It was a bit strange how I could feel my heart in my chest when it wasn't there, but it made me feel less of a monster, not that I cared.

”I need a word with Arsene. You all may go.” Said Karsa advertently. She crossed her arms and held me tightly in her sights.

”Hey! that's not fair! Why does Abbadon get to cake on all the women! I got a big dick too!” Sig bellowed, without shame.

I have no words for this idiot! But why does it feel like I used to act like him?

Staring at me hard, Kurt pulled Sig by the ear, dragging him away without another word to the relief of everyone, including Karsa.

”That man. He is something, isn't he?” Claimed Karsa casually, but her gaze soon hardened as they fell fixed upon me.

”It's ok to say he's an ass.”

Chilling the air with her presence, Karsa measured me like cattle, something I often did when looking for a specific bloodline.

”I am starting to remember you. Rumors have it that you could scheme against a devil and angel. Now a new war is upon the horizon, and it's all your fault. Is it true?”

Nodding in agreement, I placed my hands behind my back, quelling the chill within my chest. ” Of course. But it makes me wonder what I can do for you? Are you here to kill me, or are you in need of something?”

Karsa hissed; glancing around subtly, she nodded, ”Aiza.” She coldly and firmly declared. ”I wish her to pay.”

”Dead, or you wish she suffers?” I added, not in the least surprise.

”She warrants death, but I will accept that she suffers.”

Aiza needed to be set back. She cannot move against me yet. This leaves her hands tied, but I have enough trouble with Yael. Adding on Aiza is not a wise choice, although it's not like we are allies. Not truly anyway.

Shit, I don't even know what the hell happened to Yael. Did he make it into the Etherial Realm or not?

”Then help me, and I will grant that wish of yours,” I explained, glancing back at the fleeting images of Kurt and Sigfried.

”I don't compromise, boy.” Said the corrupted serpent grimly.

Lifting my lips, I smiled. ”And I will not be someone's paw. My little brother is already doing that. Help me or just kill me.”

Watching the otherworldly facade of Karsa contort into a savage glare, my heart and mind grew icy.

”What is it you want,” She viciously hissed, with serpent-like eyes coiling in a mist that burned with killing intent.

Arching my lips, I chuckled fiendishly, ”Well did you hear news of a New King of the Celestrial Palace? Tang Fang has announced it, and I wish you to help him keep the throne. From the hands of the current king.”
