2 A sacrifice to complete the ressurection

"So now that I have all of your attention please look to your left, you see that pool of water? Well I want everyone who can't fight to get in the water, I can't promise that you will not die however it will be painless compared to what the ones who can fight will do through. Nostradamus my dear friend, unlike the other people here I do not consider you my enemy, open the tomb and let fate decide whether you live or die. The same will be given to your wif, mistress, sorry the wife is still in France is she not?"

Lucifer pulled the head off of the shrine maiden he had slit the throat of, he then said" Now you know I'm serious, Dong Zhuo get your fat ass up here. You will be the first to fight me for the freedom of everyone here, winner takes all, I will inherit your seal of a duke if you die and you will inherit the power over darkness that I seem to control if I die."

Dong Zhuo shouted " I'm not afraid of a man who uses a woman as a shield, I will kill you with ease and use your powers to take the throne of China for myself. Lü Bu get my spear from the side, I Dong Zhuo will save everyone here, in return I hope you will all support once I become the Emperor using this weasels powers."

Lü Bu walked to a small carriage next to the shrine building and took a large wooden spear engraved with a large golden dragon that wrapped it's body from the bottom to the top of the spear. He carried it to Dong Zhuo and placed it in hiss hands before whispering" Be careful in this fight, something feels extremely off about the person on the stage. He makes my hairs stand, simply by looking at me."

Dong Zhuo grabbed the spear and laughed and Lu Bu's concern, he took long arrogant strides towards the stage, making his strong body as intimidating as possible as he got closer to his challenger. He tapped his spear on the stage and said" You have moved the non-combatants into the water, why?"

Lucifer just smiled and said" It doesn't concern you, you will be dead befoire anything happens to those in the pool." As soon as Lucifer spoke he put his hands down towards his thighs and suddenly pulled his hands back up, shadows appeared from below him and two solid black daggers formed in his hands. The first dagger's tip had blood dripping form the tip whioel the second dagger hand a slightly green liquid dripping of it.

With weapons in hand Lucifer threw himself at Dong Zhuo, he constantly changed his angle of attack, making use of the slow mobility of the spear to strike at many different areas of Dong Zhuo's armour without getting hit himself. Seeing that he hadn't taken damage after three of Lucifer's barrages Dong Zhuo thought that his daggers were unable to pierce his armour and instantly went on the offensive, he swung his spear at the feet of Lucifer and knocked him to the ground.

Thinking that he had secured victory, Dong Zhuo lifted his spear and jabbed it at speed towards Lucifer's head, to his suprise Lucifer was smiling at him, as the spear made contact with Lucifer, he instantly vanished an appeared behind Dong Zhuo. He then struck Dong Zhuo's armour with more rapid strikes all over it, Dong Zhuo now confident that Lucifer couldn't harm him moved on the offensive again however as soon as he picked up pace parts of his armour began to fall off.

First his chest plate hit the floor, followed by he shoulder guards, using the confusion to his advantage Lucifer closed the distance between the two instantly and thurst one of his daggers into the head of Dong Zhuo while the second pierced his heart, he then twisted both daggers. Following Dong Zhou's death a white light shot out of his body and hit Lucifer, who was laughing manically at this point.

When the light faded, Lucifer was standing there with a giant smile on his shadow covered face, a large symbol behind, the symbol was of a skeleton wielding a scythe. The symbol got smaller and smaller until it landed on Lucifer's body, he was laughing through out the entire process until his body started shaking rapidly, an eruption of darkness left his body and heavily damaged the buildings surrounding him, killing those who were close to the explosion.

A tall man with flowing blond hair walked out of the centre of the explosion, his blue eyes pierced the souls of anyone he gazed at for a long period of time. The most distinctive future of the man was he large black wings that grew from his back, the man walked down from the remains of the stage and said" I remember who I am now and may I saw that the people of this country are in for a hellish ride if they do not submit to me. I'm the king of sin and death, Lucifer and I now have the power and territory of a duke."

As Lucifer was getting ready to deal with more of the fighter a shout got his attention, it was Nostradamus who said" My lord Lucifer, the tomb has been open at least partially, your strength should be enough to force it the rest of way." Lucifer was extremely happy by this and quickly dispatched of everyone but Lu Bu and made his way towards the tomb entrance. The beautiful shrine had been desecrated by the blood and bodies of the fighters. Limbs were scattered everywhere and the only sign of life in the shrine was those cowering in the pool of water, hoping that they were not next.

Lucifer made his way to the tomb and slipped into the crack that Nostradamus and Catherine had made, once he was there he walked to the top of a sacrificial alter, he sat in a seat next to i and the building immediately lit up, the tomb contained the terracotta army, unlike what Nostradamus and Catherine had expected. The army consisted of various demon like creatures, there where Minotaur, Ogres and a weird looking type of human who had 3 eyes instead of two. Lucifer just muttered" Et tenebrae natus fuerit"and the army slowly began to lose its stone like appearance as the members became alive once more....

*End of the Chapter*

So I'm going to quickly explain how seals will work in the world and what they do.

Use: A seal shows how much land and lords a person can rule over, the seal also gives the user a significant power boost depending on the rank the user has. For example an emperor can directly rule over 8 dukes, 10 lords and 12 counts. They can also directly rule 12 cities or towns themselves.

Note that a person with a seal doesn't have to have land in order to have or keep a seal.

Ranks:

God: Can only be created if the seal user has made 4 immortals submit to them. Can rule over 8 immortals, 12 Emperors, 16 Dukes, 20 lords and 24 counts. No limit on the Cities/ Castles they can control.

Immortal: can only be created if 6 emperors have been subjugated . No limit on the Cities/ Castles they can control. Can rule over 4 immortals, 10 Emperors, 16 Dukes, 16 lords and 16 counts. No limit on the Cities/ Castles they can control.

Emperor: Can only be created if the user has subjugated 4 dukes. Can rule over 6 Emperors, 8 Dukes, 12 lords and 14 counts. Can only directly control 6 castles/cities.

Arch Duke: Can only be made if the user has subjugated 2 dukes. Can rule over 4 Dukes, 6 lords and 8 counts. Can only directly control 4 castles/cities.

Duke: Can only be made if the user has subjugated 2 lords. Can rule over 2 Dukes, 4 lords and 6 counts. Can only directly control 3 castles/cities.

Lord: Can only be made if the user has subjugated 2 counts. Can rule over, 4 lords and 6 counts. Can only directly control 2 castles/cities.

Count: Can only be made if the user has subjugated 1 counts. 2 counts. Can only directly control 1 castles/cities.

Knight: Has a seal however is unlanded, often serve as commanders to others with seals and land.

Note seals can be inherited by the offspring of the rulers or the seal can be taken by force if the original user is killed in combat. Higher ranks can store lower ranked seals and give them out to others. For example a Duke can revoke a Lords rank and give it to someone without a seal making them a Lord instead.
