Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 84: Drenching Pendragon

Chapter 84: Drenching Pendragon

Within an hour, a man with hollow eyes appeared before my estate. His forehead branded with the words, "Slave." A hollow glow could be seen as the man fell to his knees, "I am here to serve, Ashen Prince. I am Belsan, the caretaker of the late Dra's spy network. By order of my old lord Duke Greyson, you are to be my new Master."

Glaring down at the man with the marking of a slave, I snorted in irritation at Dra's foolish method of maintaining his organization. "Get me a full report regarding all you know of The Light of Ashna. I want everything regarding whereabouts, meetings, names, likes, and dislikes. I want everything." I commanded with an icy expression. "Also, you are to distribute all your knowledge to my men."

"I have already completed your first request, my lord, Duke Greyson's first order was the very same." He fearfully said, handing me a small bracelet, "this holds everything we gathered."

Nodding, I saw Shadow appear before vanishing with Belsan in a dark flash. Stepping into my office, I began looking through all the thousand of papers regarding the Light of Ashna, and it was quite surprising all how deep their claws reached.

"So the Whore and Dra were both members of the Light of Ashna. But according to Dra's diary, he was but a low-grade member. Although it seemed they had no idea how much knowledge Dra actually had regarding their cult.

Twirling my pen within my hands, I clapped my hands as Shadow appeared, "Are we ready for a war?" I indifferently asked.

"Yes, My Lord, Pendragon is lined, and we have a few million soldiers ready to rage war against anyone. By your command, my lord, Pendragon will be turned into a wasteland by day's end."

"Good, prepare your armor. Blood will rain from this damn kingdom today." I yelled as Shadow left.

Changing into a high-grade nexus armor that could defend against a Spirit Realm master. I coldly smiled at my black robe draped around my body decorated with complicated inscriptions. There was nothing really appealing about my armor, but it was inscribed to do more than just defend.

Stepping out of my home, I saw Yura awaiting me with a cold smile as a shadow appeared alongside a few hundred men and women. All dressed in similar robes like me.

"N1 Inform the King that Pendragon will be drenched in blood today," I commanded as a scrawny man with long rust-colored hair vanished, similar to how Shadow moved.

"Yura? Arsene? What is going on?" Nora suddenly asked with a frightened face. There was an apprehensive flash as she stared deeply at Yura.

With a cold glance, I looked towards my men before flickering away. Shotting past the sound barrier, I rushed north towards one of the highest buildings in pendragon.

Following like shadows were my men with cold faces as I stopped before a massive building filled with thousands of citizens shopping without care. The sounds of Joy and blissful laughter filled the atmosphere with a sense of delight and warmth.

Chuckling at the blood bath that was about to follow, I turned towards the five guards covered in sweat as they quivered. This building was one of the main properties of Earl Maya. A rather well-respected individual. He was known for his various charities, yet unbeknownst to millions, all of his charities were meant to maintain and increase the Light of Ashna Revenue within pendragon.

"Kill everyone, leave nothing. Slaves, dogs, cats, insects, I want nothing alive." I yelled as my eyes flickered with killing intent.

At my words, blood splattered like a raging river. It didn't matter if they were innocent or not; everyone that was present was going to die.

Watching as my subordinate split, someone in half with their bare hands while their organs ran over the pavement. I smiled as I turned my attention to the elderly man trembling in rage. His long grey beard quivering as he bared down with vicious intent at me.

"ARSENE SNOW," Earl Maya roared, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?"

"Kill him and his entire family, leave nothing. Not even the grass left to grow. I want their skulls displayed before me in ten minutes." I commanded as hundreds of Spirit Realm masters shot towards Maya.

No battle was instilled as Maya was a Spirit Realm master himself. Facing hundreds the same level as he was asking for death, at least that was what it meant for humans. Watching as his very eyes exploded from his skull, I chuckled as Shadow appeared with the heads of his entire family. The look of horror present as their heads dripped with fresh blood.

"Let's go. We have a few more Aristercates that need to die. Gather a few bannermen to hang these heads. I want the Light of Ashna to know that I have begun my slaughter."

Without care for if there were kids present within the growing banner, black flames sprouted like vines from my feet as I shot into the air heading for my next target. "Shadow, take Marquess Dama. D3 will take Viscount Milo..."

Making various commands, I watched as my party shrunk to about half. Various screams sounded from within Pendragosn as smoke filled the azure sky. Descending down, I gazed at a familiar face of Genis as he shivered in horror.

"What have you done?" The young prince weakly asked. His legs shaking as he backed away.

"Why am I not surprise to see you at Earls Wayee Mansion." I curtly asked as Yura appeared, giving a neat smile, "Olivia, kill any heavenly rank or higher if they intervene."

"By your command, Your Highness." A godly voice said, sending a chill through my spine.

"YURA, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS," Roared Genis as he stomped down, trying to hide the fear that permeated his body. Cold sweat could be seen dripping from his chin as he suckled for air before Yura.

With a cruel smile I had never seen upon Yura's face, she appeared before Genis within an instant. "I have seen many things within that bastard's world. For that, I am a little grateful." Said Yura as her hands began beaming with yellow moonlight.

With a vicious smile, Yura plunged her arm deep into Genis's chest before he could react, gripping his heart. Horror was written over Genis as he tried to open his mouth, yet all that followed was a scream that sent chills through my men.

I did not know what Yura had done, but Genis's very skin was turning yellow, slowly starting fragmenting with puss as it oozed from his eyes. removing her arm in disgust, she chuckled. "You will not die yet. No, you will live for years wishing for death."

"W-w-w-w-w, what have you done to me?" Asked Genis as his body began slowly shrivel. As if he was a malnourished child, I watched as various plants and vines began growing through his body. Blood and puss oozed over the floor as I watched a large mushroom sprout from his pupil, its roots stabbing through his sockets as faint lumps of tentacles could be seen traveling from his eye socket to his neck like little worms.

"AHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Genis as he began clawing at his throat. Ignoring his skin, I saw him dig into his flesh as a large worm slowly wiggle its way out before visibly traveling to his other eye.

"What the hell did you do?" I asked as the worm began slowly biting his right eye away. I had hoped that was the end, but various bugs and plants began rising as the poor boy screamed, asking for his death. All Genis could do was shriek, begging for death, but it seems not even darkness could take his consciousness away as a tree sprouted from his skull using his body as a nutrient.

"You like it? It's called The Seed of Vima. "Yura said as she nodded at her handy work, "He will live for about two hundred years before the Seed of Vima finally kills him. I had to send my Guardian a few trillion Kilometers just to find it. she was quite mad."

I almost choked as I stared at the joyful little girl giggling. Turning to my men, I yelled, "Get moving, kill Wayee entire family. Leave Marquess Wayee to me. we have a rather special relationship. "
