Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 145: Crimson Moon

Chapter 145: Crimson Moon

Opening my eyes, I cursed as my body was covered with perspiration. For the past few days, as we traveled, my body had been constantly covered in sweat every night I meditated or slept. Looking at the sleeping figure of Rave, who should be guarding, I left the carriage. My naked feet pressing into the white snow.

Feeling the cool sensation of ice against my skin, I removed my tunic as I fell upon the icy snow. A feeling of bliss filled my eyes. When suddenly, a single drop of liquid fell on my face causing me to sulk. With the temperature far below the freezing temp, rain should not exist.

Touching my face, I froze at the red liquid. Abruptly a massive shower of ruby red drenched me whole. Feeling a cold shiver run through my mind, I suddenly froze as the pure white moon turned into a shade of red. As if it was bleeding, I watched as crimson light began to fall from its arch bathing the snowy land in crimson.

"What the Hell?" I asked, turning to my party, still sleeping as though the scent of blood wasn't present. I could feel death clawing at my neck like maggots begging for me to flee.

Looking around, I could see a brightly lit light in the distance as shadows began dancing around. Raising my brow, I turned to Roald and Lisa before leaving in a rush. I didn't really care if they died or not. Lisa was at this point more of an experiment to see how depraved a person can fall due to lust.

Blending into the darkness, I shot through the icy fields. With each step I took, a feeling of fear began to rise. I could hear my heart thumping more and more the closer I got. My blood was all but quivering when suddenly I saw a massive campfire surrounded by hundreds of men and women.

"What the fuck?" I asked aloud as I could feel something clawing at my soul.

Watching as the massive orgy taking place, I backed away, various animals and monsters began walking out to join. Yet, as I stared, no one seemed to care as they engaged in bestiality. The moans of monster and beast rang out the entire field of ice as I turned my head in disgust.

"What type of satanic shit is this?" I whispered as I gazed past their naked bodies drenched in blood to observe the various depictions of pentagrams and satanic signs.

Gender meant nothing here, as every living thing was lost in lust. Yet, the biggest thing that caught my attention was the dance they did. It was nothing special until I stared at the center of the flames. A fear like had never before clenched my soul as I quickly pushed qi into my body to shot away.

"Arsene," a commanding voice called out, forcing me in place. Slowly turning back to gaze at the flames. A chill filled my mind as over a hundred eyes turned to me. "Where are you going?"

"W-W-Who are you?' i weakly asked, feeling my life hanging in the balance, telling me that I needed to choose my words carefully.

"Who indeed?" said a man as he pushed a woman down, pushing his manhood inside, causing her to scream, "Some call me Sin, Others the devil, but do you should know my name young variant?"

Watching each word that was spoken change to someone else's mouth, my fears began to increase. The crimson moon was slowly turning bloodier, somehow showering me in a mist of crimson with its light causing blood to stream from my body.

"Whose blood... Who are you" I repeated, trying to regain my mask as a moan of bliss echoed out? Chaos began to ensue as animals, Insects, monsters of various kinds, and humans began an intense session of depravity.

"Look into the flames, Arsene. Look at me, boy." The voice said as I stared. "What is my NAME!!!"

Hearing his roar, my mind shook as I coughed up a mouthful of blood. I wanted to kneel, but that would never happen again...Not again!!!

Glaring into the flames, my eyes slowly turned cold as I could see horns raging out like sinister spikes. What I saw was no man but rather a demonic-looking minotaur with the body of a man. Black wings that seem to cover the very universe could be seen as my legs began to wain.

"King of Beast, Baphomet," I whispered as the mark of sacrilege began to pulse with fear.

"AAAAHHH," he said, releasing a breath of stream from his nose, "Good, my child. Now come to me; I wish to see you. Step into my flames."

Bitting my lips, I pushed Soulforce into my body, trying to break free, but before I knew it, my legs were walking into his flames.

"GEERRRRRRR," I forcibly groaned as the flames began searing into my flesh. I wanted to leap away, but my body refused to listen.

An amusing chuckled sounded from Baphomet as he tilted his head, "So weak, mortals are such foolish little things. Tell me LIttle Varient, What makes a man, I have watched dove the little game you are playing with Lisa, and I wish to know. What makes a man such as yourself."

"F... U... C... K... Y... O... U, "I bellowed as the flames began searing my eyes. I wished to scream out in anguish, but there was an invisible locking my very existence down.

"Ahahaha, Good shit Boy. You will make a fine Apostle, but you are far too weak," said Baphomet as his body began to bulge. Large brony muscles began to rise out while a dark blue Fur covered his entire body as space began to twist like nothing.

With a snap of his finger, my body was recovered as I looked around in horror. I was no longer on Midgard. I knew this for a fact as I gazed at the endless galaxies before me. A sea of stars could be seen lighting the void as I turned to the massive beast before me.

With my breath growing more uneven with each second, my skin began to throb and peal while my soul shook in fear.

"Watch carefully, my Apostle and Learn," Baphomet roared as he clenched his fist. Suddenly time began to bend and twist as the stars began to fade like nothing. A massive pentagram spanning the very heavens appeared around his fist as he roared.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shivering, my gaze was consumed by endless white flames rushing into Baphomet. Everything I saw...Everything was gone... He decimated everything, leaving nothing behind but the souls of the dead as Baphomet roared in laughter, "THIS IS POWR BOY. Remember, this is what we Demons are capable of. KILL KILL KILL KILL. Slaughter, Fuck, ****, do whatever your heart desire. We are monsters, and I, the King of Beast. The King of Depravity."

Releasing a mouthful of blood, my face grew pale as my hair as my vision began to fade. However, Baphomet seemed rather annoyed, "Not yet...You have much to see, and so much to learn." he said with insanity in his gaze.

"I will personally take you to the nine hells and show you what true suffering is. You, as a devil of the Nines, need to know. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND!!!!" he roared, stomping his feet down as reality began to shake.
