Chapter 494: Mother of Demons, Lilith (2/2)

Opening his palm, a strange demonic scepter of two twin snakes coiling around each other appeared. Holding the sigil of Oroborus etched into its oak. While a single skull carrying a pentagram rested at the head of the scepter levitating. At the same time, the snakes bared their fangs at it on each side.

Horrified by the Aura of Annihilation, emanating from the scepter, a name that presented something far different from the one I knew and loved hummed into my mind. ”Mother of Demons, Lilith”

I shook, feeling a gaze upon me from above, watching with scrutiny. It was chillingly sinister. Almost as if it was wishing me to kill myself as to escape its eye.

”Baphomet. What is that.” I shouted, witnessing my uncle form the corner of my eyes rain a stream of blood from his eyes. As if he was crying, he fell to his knees, releasing a wail I had never heard from his lips. He clenched his head and cried.

”Eroma!” Greyson shouted, charging into my room with his blade drawn. Seeing his brother convolving upon the ground, he rushed to his side. I, however, simply could not.

”What-What is that thing!” I shouted, never before feeling this terrified before. ”Baphomet? Adrienne?”

”Just be silent.” The demon holding onto this scepter warned, hovering the source of fear over me as if to perform a ritual.

”Reveal what is hidden, Mother.” He cried, tapping the instrument of my fear upon my head when suddenly everything within me shattered like glass, over and over. Till all I saw was black, that was not darkness and the hissing of a serpent within my ear.

I made no move as to turn or make a sound.

”Arsene Snow.” Said a voice that crushed upon my heart. It was enticing, but the fear in my heart only made sweat trickle for my brow. ”This is what it means to be a god. You are forever a mortal in our eyes till you break past the Edge of Heaven. So find one to pray to. For once, the Gates of Illuthath awakens; you will be nothing more than cannon fodder.”

I gulped and blinked only to see I was within my room once more, with a set of Amethyst eyes staring back at me. Yet I could not smile or feel relieved. Consumed with fear, I turned to Baphomet, staring calmly.

”What did you see?”

”What?” I asked. Unable to comprehend what had happened.

”You were supposed to see the unknown. To see past this false illusion. THa cut was--”

”Who do you worship,” I shouted, clenching my chest where my heart should be. I didn't know why but it was screaming.

Baphomet frowned, appearing somewhat offended. ”I am a God boy. I do not worship anyone.”

”Who do you worship, Baphomet,” I uttered, pulling myself from off my knees.

Watching the demon before my eyes release a smile, he crackled with a bit of laughter. ”So she spoke to you. She truly did. Good. Good.” He said, chilling my soul. ” I worship the Mother of Demons and Devils, Lilith.”

”And Asmodeus?” I rushed to say, sensing her gaze upon me.

”You are about to become a god, boy. You will soon learn that this is but the end and the beginning.” He claimed sinisterly, shaking his head, ” but you may ask him at your own risk.”
