Prelude to war

'It's finally happening, I've waited until this time.' As this thought appeared on Asra's mind, a smirk appeared on his face. 'I would've wished for this war to happen earlier...but I couldn't do things myself to hasten it. After all, that would be detrimental to my future plans.'

*Clak *Clak

His shoes sounded as he walks in a hallway of his mansion. The hallway has several large windows that shows the purple sky of the underworld, which Asra has gotten used to seeing for decades.

"The civil war will still not start any time soon. Although, it is inevitable now but the two sides are in the preparatory phase now. Hmm...what to do..." Asra mutters softly while he continues to walk, passing by several servants who bowed to him as he passed.

"I should find myself some fun things to do...maybe devour some souls in China, as there's a long episode of drought, flood, locust infestation, and famine there. Though, there are signs of these events waning though. There's also the ongoing hundred years war as they call it. Though, by now that little girl Joan of arc is already dead. But the war is still ongoing there though so I could get some souls...Hmm yeah I'll go there for now while waiting for the war to start. Who knows there might be some interesting things to see there" After that, Asra directly used teleportation magic as he vanished in the hallway. The servants were not surprised as Asra often do this.

"Haa...Those souls were veey delicious. They were full of despair, fear, unwillingness, etc. Truly, those souls tainted with negative emotions are delicious."

Standing on a battlefield is Asra, surrounded by corpses, mutilated body parts, organs scattered around, broken weapons, etc. The thick stench of blood can be smelled on the air.

He just annihilated the armies of both the French and English. He then consumed their souls, as for why he did it. It is his way of passing time till the civil war.

"Haaa...but this is getting dull now. Their souls can't give my powers a boost too. Maybe I should just roam around somewhere to pass time." He looked around the battlefield, still indifferent.

But just when he was about to leave, a teleportation circle appeared in front of him. What appeared was a blonde-haired man with 4 pairs of wings.

"Why have you interfered in the human's war, devil!?" The angel growled at Asra, a light spear already appeared in his hand.

"Oh Oh? What's this, a seraph eh? So what do I owe the pleasure of being in the presence of lord angel?" Asra smiled full of mockery, his tone being sarcastic.

"You still haven't answered my question...devil! You are in the territory of heaven, here in France." The angel frowned

"Sigh, your know fun...too stiff, why don't you relax a bit. I merely killed a small amount of humans for fun, what's the problem? I was just relaxing for a bit." Asra shrugged while casually relying on. His expression was relaxed with no trace of remorse even after killing numerous humans.

"Small amount...? You've killed close to ten thousand humans, and you call that small amount?" The angel growled, "For trespassing and killing these humans, pay for your sins with your blood!"

The angel suddenly appeared in front of Asra with his spear targeting Asra"s heart.

Sara stayed calm as he sidestepped dodging the attack. The angel then forcefully stopped his attack and threw a kick.

*Boom!

Asra easily blocked the kick with his right hand. He smirked, "Your weak, it's my turn then." After his mockery, Asra's right hang burst into flame as he used hellfire.

"Arrrghhh!"

The fire rapidly spread to the whole body of the angel and slowly burn him. His screams of agony continued as Asra smiled happily.

"Arrrghhh!"

"Hmm...Your screams are quite good, it's almost as good as the music I often listen to." Asra commented as he watched the angel burn to death.

"Sigh...Looks like I need to go back now, oh well. Then Mr. angel, you'll die now, okay?" Asra smiled before increasing the output of his hellfire which immediately turned the seraph into ash.

"Time to go hack, looks like the war is starting soon." Asra then used teleportation to go back into the underworld.

He already had his fun in the human world, now it's time for the long awaited war. Thinking about the upcoming war, Asra licked his lips gleefully.
