Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 168: Will of Bahoment

"Gorgo is dead."

"He killed... he Killed Vexioe's right hand."

Snorting, I felt my wounds beginning to heal at a quick rate beneath my armor. Glancing at the guards, still watching with indifference, I sneered.

Lowering his stance, the giant turned to Gorgo with a sad expression, "Rest in the depts of Valhalla, my brother. I will be sending this bastard straight to Hel." He whispers as the air began to thin and churn.

Dark grey light began to shine from Vexioe as he sent me a chilling light. Watching his tattoos begin to shine, the indifferent guards began to frown, taking a step back. I could see their horror, the fear they held as they shivered.

Taking a deep breath, my eyes became empty once more. Staring at the peak Gate of Death, I knew my death was within reach. Escape was not feasible as this prison was to confine.

"Oh well," I said with indifference, taking a major risk.

<crimson winds=""></crimson>

Suddenly a massive whirlwind of wind and blood began to fill the prison as everyone turned to me with horror. Pushing out Soulforce, my body began to turn crimson as the crackle to thunder began to echo out like demonic bells. Shaking the very ground around me as my eyes radiated out crimson light.

Racing my head high, I gazed at Vexioe as though he was nothing but trash as my body appeared in front of him. A look of horror was present when my fist slapped against his chest, shattering his entire ribcage blasting him through the walls.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

With blood dripping from my palms, I shot forward, arriving beside his body, still flying through the air.

"Wai..."

Not waiting, blood gathered at my palms as I roared, blasting his face into the pavement like a cannon. I did knot know what Vexioe did, but Soulforce increased all my power by ten and crimson by a factor of three times, with each of them being stackable.

"BAHAMUT," I howled as a power that should not exist fill the air. A horrid evil like nothing I felt before rained over this prison-like a storm corrupting the souls of all present. A deep vicious evil that swallowed all life filled my eyes.

Not giving Vexioe a chance to even think, my fist began raining down ruthless blows into his skull. Brutally turning his face into mush, I continued until his eyes popped out its socket and his skull caved in. Unfontally I was not done as I continued until nothing was left. Ripping his arms from his headless body, I began using it as a hammer to turn the rest of his body to mush.

BOOOOM!!!BOOOOM!!!BOOOOM!!!BOOOOM!!!BOOOOM!!!BOOOOM!!!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Bellowing like a demon, I turned to those around me, feeling the mark of sacrilege pulsing.

A second, it was all I had... All I had to slaughter. So like a phantom, my body flickered as I turned the entire area into a river of gore. Dancing like a demon, the will of Bahoamet filled me as I tore someone's head off. Feasting upon his blood as laughter filled my soul. With a rush of ecstasy, I plunged my arm into someone's brain, ripping it out before having a taste of sweet ice cream.

"AHAHAHAHAA"

Like a crazed demon, I laughed, looking at the dead. None of the guards dared to interface as they backed away in disgust.

Licking my lips, I frowned, canceling my Soulforce. I had not fainted this time, but I could feel my mind turning cloudy. Looking down at hundreds of prisoners dead, I drew closer to the guards as they didn't dare move.

None of them were within the Gate of Death or higher, but rather all Life Gates. "hahaha, little insects, I am still hungry." I ask as I palmed the face of a young-looking guard.

His pants were all but wet as he didn't even dare beg. Even the other guards didn't say anything as Will of Bahoment was visible to all-consuming all of them in fear.

"Enough, release him."

Turning around, blood began to leak for the poor guard as he squirmed, screaming as my grip began to grow tighter.

"A Gate of Truth. How exciting, will we battle if I kill him?"

Glancing around, the newcomer shook his head, bowing with grace, "young master, please."

Raising my brow, I nodded, turning back to the little guards trembling, "Well, looks like someone saved you all, but for how long?"

Laughing in glee, I left, a trail of blood following behind with each step. With Bahumetns blessing still racing through me, my wounds quickly began to vanish. By the time I returned to my cell. All of my wounds were gone.

Aside from the mental exhaustion from Soulforce, I was completely healed. Pondering over my battle, I snickered before sitting in the lotus position.

My first goal was not to analyze my body state but rather why I had not lost consciousness after the time limit I had.

"Bael, do you know why I didn't lose consciousness?'

"Nope, I was not watching. I do have other things to do aside from monitor your actions." Bael responded, going silent.

Rolling my eyes, I frowned as I gazed at my soul. I had not gained more Soulforce. It was the same quantity, but... it must be due to my comprehension. Bael did say I would receive a massive boon after my breakthrough.

Looking at the quantity still left, I smiled. "With my new level of control, I should be able to last ten or twelve seconds.

Nodding with understanding, my attention quickly shifted to the gates of Truth. It had been a while since I was here, but it looks like I am about to break through. Walking through the Gate of Fire and to the depts of Gate of man, I stopped at the end of the Gate of Life corrupted by evil.

Staring down at my spiritual form, a thought came to me as I turned to my gate. With a ruthless light, Soulforce filled my palms as I basted the gate wide open.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Suddenly Vital qi black as night quickly began to storm out of the gate of life into my body as a massive amount of explosions began to sound. Opening my eyes wide to the real world, I coughed up a mouthful of blood black as night emanating a foal aura.

With a laugh filled with carnage, I roared to the heavens as my bones began to break and reform. Like I was being rebuilt, my skin quickly began to peel. However, within a few hours, all the pain I was experiencing vanished as I arose a new man.

Clenching my fist tight, I could feel my power increase by over three times. My eyesight had completely changed as I began to know observer new concepts within the heavens. Information like that was always present began to make sense as blood leaked from my nose, overloading my mind.

Feeling my emblem pulse, I understood that my comprehension was connected since my body and soul were linked as one. Upgrading my body was the same as upgrading my soul. I didn't know the stages of the soul yet, but I get I had reached a milestone in that regard.

With brightening eyes, I gasped, "The second stage of The Dao of Darkness. I am truly becoming a monster. I may finally be able to give Lilith a run for her money."
