Preparation For the Hunt

Inside the Central Source, a beautiful little girl with a gothic attire was carrying a giant halberd on her shoulder as she was taking an early morning walk as she does her normal routine of making sure each and every door is locked properly, that and the fact she kind of guard the heart of this place so checking on the heart on a daily basis is a must.

Normally she would do more things in here like cleaning some of the painting or sweeping the ground plus more as she would do all this by herself when she was alone to pass the time but thankfully, she has Yin doing those trivial things for her now.

But Pandora was thinking about many different things as she began daydreaming of all the things, she and Aarick did last night even if it was only 7 hours and not the two days like he promised but she knows that legendary battle shall come soon, after all, they have eternity to spend with each other; even though she knows Aarick doesn't truly understand love she was determine to teach him how beautiful it is even if she was a novice herself.

That and Aarick needed to come in term with the past or a piece of it at least, and Shara was one of the many demons he would have to face eventually, although Pandora was the reason why Shara probably had the worst night of her life as her temptation probably awaken something in Aarick that should have stayed asleep, she knew whatever Aarick becomes she would love him regardless.

But hearing the painful and agonizing screams, which were followed by the tears and regret of her best friend for fun as she repents for all her mistake up to now was really satisfying, she could only imagine what the girl went through after all she left the room so Aarick can vent his frustration on Shara, to be honest, she doesn't even know if she is alive but if Aarick is happy then she is happy.

"Agh Darling... more suffering will come to your oppressors in due time my love it all in time, be patients and they will see true hell hahaha...

Pandora began to walk to the door where she left Aarick to sleep although the two of them don't really need to sleep, it was only done out of pleasure as it gave them a very refreshing feeling when the morning time came.

But Pandora wanted to do something for Aarick so she decided to learn a couple of new things from Yang yesterday as she wanted to bake something for him, after all, she made some cookies for him yesterday despite the extremely deadly drug that could knock out the strongest gods of the world with relative ease, but the reason she wakes up earlier than him was the fact she wanted to test out her newly acquired housewife skill and make him something delicious and cookies was the only thing she learns to make, but what are recipe books for.

"Agh I can imagine darlings praises now as he gives me his signature head pats."

"I wonder what I should make him, hmm... Yang was going to teach me how to make this omelet thing, hmm ok let learn to make whatever the hell an Omelet even is I'm sure Yang should be in the main room that is if she not making more tattoos since her power is literal ruin engravement but ahh... she can't be nowhere too far."

Said Pandora as she reaches her hand for the doorknob to open the door to her room to find Yang so she can prepare something for Aarick before he gets up.

But right after she opens the door she was invaded with shock as she had a confused look on her face all because of one person who was in the room taking a sip of tea as he was watching the news.

He wears full white and his height was no less than 5'2, his hair was jet black reaching to his shoulder while his eyes were a vivid orange one may even call it bright.

He had beautiful snow-white skin, but the only thing is, he was fat really fat, it made him have a very ugly appearance but at best his look was average.

He had on the same accessories which were the Noir and Blanche beads which was evidence this person was Aarick, normally Pandora doesn't really get surprised when she sees Aarick, but she was a little taken back at his current appearance as she thought he would never see Aarick like this again.

As she walks closer to Aarick and said with a very soft voice.

"Good morning darling I see you are well, oh by the way why have you returned to your original appearance."

Aarick didn't turn to Pandora since he has long felt her presence and answered her while shortly taking a sip of tea shortly after.

"Ah yes... I have taken the form of my original self for a reason, please let me apologize for tainting your beautiful eyes with this vulgar form of mines."

Aarick said all this while having a fake smile on his face almost like what Shiro does when he is trying so hard to be happy in times of sorrow, his eyes were no different from his either they were as the sun but the feeling behind them was dead, it didn't have a spec of emotions behind them.

But deep-down Pandora can tell Aarick actually had emotions but she was the only one he would probably even show it to, but right now Aarick was calm, to be honest, he was too calm there was no hate, there was no happiness there was nothing but calmness.

Despite his indifferent looks, he wasn't showing any emotions at all almost like he was saving them for something else keeping them bottled up inside himself.

Pandora then said.

"Darling even if you were a goblin, a slime, an ugly troll my feeling for you would never change, but what the occasion why did you revert back, well it is not like I mined, I kind of like this cute chubby form of yours... just asking by the way."

"Hahaha of course you do, hahaha... agh well I'm going to say hi to some old acquaintances of mine, you should already know who I'm talking about right."

Pandora from their then began to read his intention to just grasp an idea and she got her answer as she said.

"I see you are going to kill a whole bunch of people at your school."

"Yes, I think it's about time I face my other demons, I shall bring sorrow in the form of pain and despair it's about time I start acting like an emperor, a monster who doesn't know anything but destruction, someone who can't understand the feeling of others no matter how much he tries or so Sorrow is depicted, I just need to do this."

Pandora smiles as she pat Aarick on the head as she said.

"Well, you do you darling, but you know; if you that in public especially if you are been watched from all corners it is going to be very annoying."

"Well mothers' dog is definitely here and there, the hilarity twin is right below me, and that god damn thing was watching me from yesterday am I right."

Pandora smile as she said.

"Well, I thought you didn't notice."

Aarick laughs as he was playing idiot this whole time as he said.

"We'll let us just say the red Sloth a Tier 3 Mystic has the ability to sense things around it even if it is invisible, I just felt that thing from afar since my reach is approximately ten kilometers.

"I see it one of the mystics you absorb within yourself so tell me how are you going to evade it, that thing is definitely something with divine energy watching you, so it's not something so simple to easily evade but if you want I can..."

"No that's not needed, they want to watch let them watch as long as they don't have any evidence that it's me that is responsible for the murders that are about to happen, then they can't do me anything I decided that I'm going to play in their little game.

From their Aarick summon Typhon as Typhon sat on the floor lazily as she said.

"Oy master why have you summon me for."

"I got a mission for you."

Typhon jump up in excitement as she said.

"Finally, some excitement, so tell me who do you want me to kill."

Aarick smiled at her question as he said while pulling out a list and some cash.

"70% off any meat I need some pork belly you're going to go shopping for me."

Typhon gave Aarick a confused look as she said.

"What you want me to go shopping the great Typhon of the dawn what kind of bullshit is this, agh come on give me something a little bit better or fun to do."

Aarick stomped Typhon's face to the floor as he gave her a creepy smile and spoke.

"I think you misunderstood something here, the last time I check you don't have rights to speak back to me, you are a slave remember, you die in battle I reaped your soul you live and now I own you, so shut the fuck up and do as your told."

"Agh master be rougher stomp on my head and boobs more."

Said Typhon as she was getting off with Aarick abuse.

Aarick gave her a look of disdain as he said to himself.

"That right abuse doesn't work with her it's more like a reward than a punishment for her kind, sigh her type is hard to deal with.... aww... fuck masochist demons are a pain."

Aarick then removes his feet from her body as he tried a different approach.

"Ok then if you do this for me how about I give you a reward."

Typhon got up as she brushes herself up and spoke with a rather curious voice.

"A reward you say and what may that be."

Aarick holds his head in frustration as he began thinking till his eye stopped on Yang who was cleaning the place, Yang notices her master view as he smiles sadistically and she could only hope for the best as Aarick spoke while giving her a sadistic look.

"Yang can you please come over here for a minute."

Yang stops what she was doing as she goes toward Aarick and bow before.

Aarick then looks back at Typhon and spoke

"Do this for me and I will lend you Yang fine ass body for your personal use for two days, if I'm right your kind is still in its mating season am I right."

Yang opens her eyes in shock to this horrid news, she had just become a maid against her will after her whole family was completely murdered before her eyes by the mistress and now, she has to be the sex partner by the former legendary upper Majin rank 9th Typhon of the Dawn, who used to serve the Majin demon king who was known to be very perverted.

She felt like her life was getting worse by the day, but she can't refuse as she must obey, her mistress wrath was one thing but the mistress husband the one called Aarick was something else.

Normally as the castle maid it is her duty to keep the place clean, and do the weird task Pandora ask of her and honestly if she listen, she gets rewarded by her personally.

But since there are a lot of weird ritual, she has to do every day to keep this place up and running, she has to be the first to be awake and work as she had no help at all, reason be Yin was still undergoing correction training for her defiance.

And when she woke up in the morning, she heard the very person who caused all this mess screaming in pain, and may it be coincident or intentional, but the master torture chamber was built right next to her room as she clearly heard Shara plea for help.

"AHaaaGHH... please... stop.... I-I-I-Itt HurtZZZ!..."

"Why so serious its only one blazing hot Irion rod, we still have ten more to go let's see how far I can push your new doll like body hahahahah... ahahahahaaa... your screams are such a turn on, your sorrow, despair I want more, show me more I need more, more, more, moremoremore, Be the furl of my murder boner you stupid object!"

The scream of her little sister plea for help and mercy were so horrendous it marked a fear in her like no other, it scared her so much to the point she somehow develops a six sense of when Aarick wants something and as she feels that sense, she wastes no time to get down, after all, she fear Aarick more than her mistress.

Typhon look at Yang who was sweating bullets as she licks her lips in excitement and looks back at Aarick and spoke.

"Hahaha... now we're talking beloved master of mine, I shall conquer the supermarket."

Aarick took yet another sip of tea as he looks at yang and spoke.

"Well, Yang please follow Typhon's perverted order for the next two days anything that is not related and too extreme you can disobey."

"Yes, Master Aarick."

Yang bows in joy because at least she doesn't have to do nothing extreme which mean the master still fine her existence useful.

"So, when will I be leaving."

"Right now, but I have to change your look to mines well the Rimuru version of me."

From there Aarick began reforming Typhon look as he used the shadows around for the normal-looking clothes that Rimuru normally wears before he became a demon lord only this time, they were black in color, he even added a hoodie to hide this look as he had a habit hide his face from others and this will just make the distraction and disguise more believable.

As Typhon said.

"Damn I feel so short it's depressing."

"Well sorry for being short now shut the fuck up and go shopping."

"Right away master but the door to exit is very far it's a whole hour away."

Pandora saw this as she manifests a door before Typhon that would lead to the outside world.

"Agh thank you overpowered goth Loli well laters."

From there Typhon left the room as she went outside and place the hoodie over her head and went to the store as Aarick also gave her knowledge to where it was located.

Meanwhile, Pandora and Aarick watch via a telepathic link to the entire surrounding that Aarick set up from the outside as he saw a few shady people watches as Typhon who now looks like Aarick places a hood on his head and head for the store even the people of the academy bought the disguised as they all began to follow her to the market which was a mile away.

Although Aarick could probably hide from them with ease, he needed reassurance and Typhon was that Reassurance as she will be him in his steed while he goes and do a bloody deed.

Pandora the look at Aarick as she said.

"I'm guessing you are going to do the deed now."

"Yes, can I borrow your ax well your halberd?"

"Sure here."

Pandora then throws Aarick to Aarick as he grabs it and to his surprise, this thing was fucking heavy even if he had super strength, it was still a task to carry but he couldn't help but admire just how amazing it was as he said.

"How envious I wish I had a badass weapon like this Ra and Nyx are decent weapons with a lot of potentials to grow, but this thing is on a different caliber on its own."

[Of course, it is the only weapon that is on par with Shiro's weapon which is Artemis]

"Agh... Atlas I see your finally back."

[Well, I didn't see any need to talk till now, didn't want to parade on you fun]

"I see, well how very kind of you, well this Halberd is amazing I can sense great power in it but I can't access nor can I touch its true potential why is that."

[Pandora Halberd can only be used by her it is almost like Excalibur only the chosen one can use and see it for what it truly is, although it's a great weapon, Shiro weapon is just as good if not slightly better in my opinion]

"Really why is that."

[Don't worry about it, after all the less we know the better chances, we have of not activating his all-knowing skill or it also goes by the name Truth to all]

"Truth to all what the hell kind of skill is that."

[It is basically a powerful skill that makes him all-knowing he can access all your secrets by just thinking it, he can even alter your existence with it just like Matilda glass eye or the proper name for her ability would be the [Mystic eyes of truth breaking], which is basically divine eyes that can alter the truth of everything]

"Wait so Matilda was actually a Mystic eye holder, I have never heard of that type of mystic eyes before though, I know they have the mystic eyes of death perception and distortion along with many others but never heard of truth breaking."

[Well even she doesn't know that, as her eyes are a first to this world, you see those eyes originally belong to the supreme spirit of truth a spiritual deity who can alter the truth of everything to her will, she later died in battle, and the only way I can see how Matilda inherit her eyes was that it was pass-down to her by the supreme spirit before her death]

"Ehh... but why her."

[Most likely at random let us just say she was lucky and that is all, but those eyes are still incomplete as they have many weaknesses at the moment]

"I see, ok that makes sense I guess, so Atlas how does your knowledge work."

[I can assess a fraction of the memories that existence has to offer]

"Elaborate please."

[Existence itself is like a movie that goes on and on, I can see part of those movies and gain the knowledge of said events, I can bring the movie back, I can carry it forward to me the past, present, and future is, all the same, an illusion that I can see through]

[Meaning everything has multiple probabilities, I could choose from anyone that will end in an explanation, and lucky for me I have said authority to access said information in the form of records almost like a memory from the past or a vision from the future]

"So, it basically stealing knowledge from everything around you and choosing which one is the right conclusion to work with."

[Correct]

"I see, I wish I had a weapon like her though."

Pandora gave Aarick a look saying she can help as she said.

"Do you want a weapon darling?"

"Of course, would you make me one."

"I can but what type do you want."

"I don't know something that would suit me I guess, but I do want to borrow your halberd to slice and dice some annoying rodents I kept alive for too long."

"Something that would suit darling ha... hmm... I have an idea of a weapon that might be perfect for you."

Aarick gave Pandora a surprised look as he said.

"Oh, really and what might that be."

Pandora smiled as she said.

"Well, it's probably something you have never seen before, something original you see, I kind of have a hobby of imagining a lot of very dangerous things."

"I see well I guess I can wait for you to make them."

"Yea but I think I will get the material in order to make one for you this time."

"Ehh but can't you just create it from scratch like you always do?"

"I can but I want to try something different for a change you know to make it a special gift from me to you."

"I'm flattered fine you do you, but how will you solve your existing problem."

"I have my ways don't worry."

"Ok, sure well I guess I'm going to get going after I finish up some things here, are you going to come."

"Nope, I'm going to gather the material needed to start making your weapon."

"Sure, so where are you going."

"Well, I'm going to go all out with this so I will be back in a week, In the meantime, you can have fun doing your revenge thing."

"I see, well don't push yourself too hard for me because you really don't have to do this."

"Nope I really want to do this I'm sure you would love it as well so bye-bye."

Pandora then created yet another door and disappear into some other unknown reality or dimension, Aarick was kind of curious about where the hell she is going and asked Atlas to see if he knows.

"So, any clues on where she is going."

[Well probably someplace dangerous beyond your understanding]

"Damn she's a little too reckless don't you think hope she will be safe."

[I think it the other way around, we're talking to someone who has perfected the Dao of yeeting pray she doesn't yeet a planet to another reality]

"Yea she loves yeeting things hahaah."

Said Aarick as he remembers a time when they spend together by playing video games which ended in her annihilation and in her frustration, she yeeted the remote control to an alternate reality, or so she claims.

[Yes, Aarick but who all are the targets, I know you won't be killing recklessly right]

"Well, I only have one target and that is Hu-Chan, I think it is about time to settle the score and call it quicks with that school for good, I need to forge my own path."

[Hmm... forge your own path you say, very well then, enlighten me how do you plan to do that]

"I... I don't know."

[Any goals that you want to pursue]

"This question again."

[Last time you said you were going to become a Hashira I believed that Giyu won't send any word till next week right]

"Yea I still want to be a Hashira though even if it under cover work."

[Well, you already kill Typhon, all that is left is to kill the remaining upper and lower Majin's, then from there you can finish 21, which will leave you with Sukuna, Millenium Earl, Lust, Anos, Yuki Etc]

"You make it sound easy."

[...]

"We'll let get this party started, I already made a list of people who want dead in that school."

[When]

"Just now when we were talking."

[...]

[Do you plan to kill them on your own]

"Well, their powers would definitely be of some use to me, you see out of the ten of them on my list only three of them are awakened, but personally speaking I would have to take their soul in order to gain their power with Familiar control."

[I see Hu-Chan is definitely on the top three of your lists]

"Of course, he is, the other two that follow after him are his closest aid or his lackeys for say, Hu-Chan is powerful Tier-3 awaken probably even nearing the peak of said Tier and is approaching into the realm of tier-4."

[I see how about the other two]

"Honestly I only heard rumors that they are actually awakened ones so I don't know their abilities."

[Sigh your hopeless full name, please]

"Agh there you go with your harsh words again and what are you going to do with their names."

[Simple I'm just going to read their records]

"I see you are a very convenient skill ok then the first guy's name is Agnes Dan and the other one is called Gabriell Griffin."

[Hmm... ok I see, Agness Dan was Born on December 4th, 2001, he awakens his ability at the age of six, and four-month after he got it examined and found out the use of his ability which was just a simple Harding skill that doesn't slow him down nor obstruct his movements, he joins many boxing competitions from a young age up till now since his ability seem to be a brawling type, and his current power level is 20,000 since it just a tier 2-B awaken one]

"I see how about Gabriell."

[And Gabriell Griffin he was agh... this one might be a little troublesome]

"How, not to be arrogant or anything but I'm pretty confident I could total this city with my Shadows alone."

[No, he doesn't have a traditional ability]

"So, he doesn't have an ability."

[No, it's the opposite he pretty strong maybe as strong as Hu-Chan but his abilities aren't the problem it who he is]

"Don't tell me he is some super-rich jerk with great influence in the city."

[No, it's much worse than you think Aarick he is one of Freya ten promising Super rookies, his abilities were awakened through the use of falna, and it is a very annoying one at that, but he can be of use to you if you take his soul and make him your familar]

"Shit just great, to think the Goddess of fertility has taken an interest in Gabriell, so tell me what his level and what his blessing, is in the form of a skill."

[He is a level (3) who possesses two skill thanks to the aid of Freya Falna, and all his skill has already been promoted to S rank it looks like he also has an official blessing as well]

"Damn ok, but tell me what his skill is, and what divine blessing does he possesses."

[The first skill is Juggernaut it has two functions the first ability gives you immense strength far beyond the level limits, the second effect of Juggernaut is an ability that can convert damage into physical strength, in short, the more injuries he received the stronger the effect of Juggernaut is]

"So, he basically a masochist powerhouse, I'm guessing he is confident in his strength its kind of weird he is very scrawny but has all that physical strength, So what the second skill."

[His other skill is also annoying its call omíchli it is basically a skill that allows him to transform into a mist-like state, and his divine protection is the divine protection of cloud walking, it makes him walk on clouds]

"His skills are meh at best, and it is not that really troublesome, I can walk on all surfaces so it's not really such an incredible feat maybe omíchli might be a little annoying but I have thousands of racial skills that can counter it, for example, I could use Vortex lungs to suck him in and forcibly absorb him."

[Yes, none of these targets are really that troublesome, it's just Gabriell connection might lead to a war if you are not careful, although I'm confident it's probably just going to be another meal]

"Now then let's get this operation started of course I'm going to go to school first and split them all up, from there I'm going to use the demons I harvested in the forest to kill the other seven and from there I'm going to deal with both Gabriell and Hu-Chan."

"Atlas can you please use a spell to get me inside the school bathroom, the whole point of this mission is not to be spotted by mother, Matilda, nor Shiro those guys have a series of eyes on me but Typhon is perfect reassurance."

[Sure, I can do that with a transfer spell]

After Aarick gave Atlas the command to transfer him to the school bathroom a red magic circle started to form under Aarick feet as a bright red light cut his vision short and the last thing Aarick heard was Atlas's voice as he said.

[Prepare for Transfer Aarick]

After the bright red light clears up Aarick was no way to be seen as he left to settle a debt that can only be paid in blood.
