Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 425: Chosen Cleo

Chapter 425: Chosen Cleo

"I'm back bitches! Let's go!" Siegfried roared, gathering the attention of many. "Yu Jing took a detour, and she is with everyone as we speak."

Shaking my head, Siegfried beckoned with his large hands. Having nothing better to do, I followed, wondering if there was a way to use these so-called Chosen.

Yael was a mighty warrior from the Seven Heavens. Using them to kill him was an impossibility; even their masters should not have enough power over an arch angel-like Yael.

"Sieg! Buddy, we are here!" shouted a reasonably tall man with long shaded curly hair with deep sky-blue eyes that seemed to carry a silver hue. He was pretty, if one can call a man pretty. From far away, one would think he was a woman.

"Let me introduce you. The gay-looking one is Kurt!"

Bursting out into laughter, Lilith turned the other way as Kurt's expression darkened, "Damn it, Sieg! Can you not! Do you want your master to get canceled? You know you cant say stuff like that anymore!"

"Oh yeah! Not my fault you look like a woman, but fine. The effeminate man here is Kurt," Siegreid repeated wearily, appearing quite tired of watching what he said. "The baddie by his side is--"

"Cleo, and it a quite the honor to meet you. Mr. Snow, my master, speaks quite highly of you." Said a woman that seemed to meld into the Dao of space. I had noticed her, but her presence was so faint my gaze merely traced over her.

Smiling at me somewhat cautiously, Cleo sat beside Kurt with her legs crossed. She had long golden silver hair that ran freely down her head, like rain, and dark eyeliner that seemed to brighten her scarlet eyes.

She was quite enticing, if I had to say, a baddie as Sigried had said.

"Care to tell me what type of dark magic used to hide yourself? I have already forgotten your name more than seven times throughout this year. All that seemed to stick within me was the word Snow itself." She stated, with narrowed eyes that carried a hint of malice.

"Siegfried was indeed right; you are quite a baddie, although my dear wife is far sexier," I uttered, watching her thin mask break into a raging expression.

"Come now, Mr. Snow, no need to make enemies so quick. She doesn't seem as stuck up like this one," Said Lilith staring dead at Yu Jing sitting off to the side silently glaring.

"Hello, I am Arkanos!" Shouted the Little dragon, staring with glittering silver eyes at the enticing meal that lay on the table before the group of chosen.

"I wouldn't," Kurt suddenly whispered with a frown, "Cleo said it's poisoned."

"none sense," Lilith suddenly stated, patting her head, " Go ahead, Aunty will flush your system of any type of danger, k!"

Nodding without hesitation, Arkanos quickly sat near Yu Jing, gobbling down food without hesitation.

"I see nothing; how can you say it's poison? None of us can see it," complained Yu Jing with suspicion, staring intently at Cleo.

"So you are the one who can see it?" Said Lilith with a grin, "How interesting, I wonder how?"

"Wait, it's real!" Kurt darkly uttered, rising with a pale expression.

"Do not react," I darkly stated, "not now, not ever."

Freezing in place, the air suddenly grew dark as I found an empty seat that could fit both me and Lilith. Sitting just near the enticing Cleo, she frowned, wiggling away.

"I heard your a pervert." She suspiciously informed, to my surprise. Sending Yu Jing a profound stare, I shrugged.

"Forgive my daughter. She is struggling to accept me as her new father. You see, she simply has an issue with me having relations with my darling wife."

"it's quite true," Added Lilith with a teary eye.

"Your both monsters!" Screamed Yu Jing angrily, causing many to look at us.

"Enough of that; what is this about Cleo being right?" Siegried solemnly chimed in. "Is this something our masters should be alerted to?"

"You can try, but I am afraid they will not be much help," I stated, picking up a glass of champagne that belonged to someone. " Strong as your masters are, they will be quite useless here, at least for now."

"What in the world are you talking about? In fact, who the hell are you?" Kurt voiced, growing cold like ice.

Shugging, I did not answer him but rather peered around at the endless people, "Look around, many people here are under someone's thrall. Even the Gods that you see are Thralls. If you want, why not call your master's and ask them to appear?"

"Can you remove that Azure essence within us? You all seemed to be free of impurity that little dragon included for some reason. For the life of me, I cannot seem to rid myself of it."

"Do not make a deal with him. Master Aiza warned that he is worse than her." Warned Yu Jing drawing a smile to my lips.

"I am afraid I am not in the contracting mood these days," I stated with a sad smile, although it was not for the lack of trying. Should even a wisp of Hellish Qi appear, I was fucked.

"Are you willing to help us?" Inquried Siegried with a solemn frown.

"Of course. You all seem to be the only ones not under another thrall yet." I whispered, turning to Lilith, who lifted her hands. Watching a wisp of abyssal energy enter reality, it soon began to spin. Four small spherical balls soon appeared within her hand.

Liftin her lips sinisterly, Lilith spoke, "Simply swallow, and you will be cured."

"That seemed too simple to be—"

Grabbing a pill Siegfried in all his stupidity, swallowed one down without hesitation, "What?" he uttered without care, crossing his arms, "My instincts told me nothing were wrong with them."

Truly I have no words for this man. Even I don't trust my instincts that much. I mean, there was a limit to everything. If one was stronger than you, hiding their intent could cause even those with the highest beastal instincts to perish.

"Master Vulron sure has his work cut out for him." uttered, Cleo lazying turning to Lilith with a hint of hesitance.

"Just take it, I wanted to create some chaos, but Siegfried kinda ruined it," muttered Lilith pouting her cherry lips.
