Pure Death Energy

Lucifer was quietly sitting in the teacher's hall and drinking her instant coffee.

"This tastes like shit."

*Crash.*

She threw it on the marble floor and the 'Best Teacher in the World' mug broke into a thousand pieces. She then turned to glare at the teachers around her who were sweating cold.

"You all... excuses of a teacher, didn't know that the site you chose for the Survival Assessment was undergoing investigation?"

Her voice was calm but frigid as if it contained absolute authority, everyone around her shuddered and their heart burnt.

The teacher's hall was big, it was grandiose. It was a pastel room where the soul could relax. However at this moment, the soul of every teacher present was in utter chaos.

Lucifer ignored their timid expressions and instead held her hand forward.

A butler in a black suit and old grey hair, along with silver spectacles that has a chain attached to them extended his hand forward, he was the personal butler of Lucifer, Sebas.

He swiftly kept a tea plate in front and started to pour rich in quality tea in it.

*Fwoooo*

The only sound that could be heard in the room was that of tea softly getting poured into the cup. Many of the tea fanatic teachers gulped their saliva upon looking at the tea.

They could make out how rich in quality the tea in front of them was. To even have a sip of it they would have to sell all their possessions.

However, Lucifer didn't care and wasn't that generous to share the tea with those fanatics. She simply wanted one thing at the moment and that was- the answer to her question.

"So. Is anyone going to answer my question? Or are you all going to sit here like dumb children."

She asked the question to all the five thousand teachers in the hall and then specifically turned to look at the principals of the three schools and the loudmouth proctor of the survival assessment.

The principal of Common Swan High and the principal of Royal Academy both looked at the person in between them.

The two principals were discreetly looking at the principal in the middle who wasn't paying attention to Lucifer and was touching a shiny bald spot on his chin, lost in thought with a melancholic expression, yes, he was Bumblebore.

*Splash!*

A gasp sprang out in the crowd, Lucifer had just thrown the highest quality tea on Bumblebore's face.

He suddenly snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Lucifer dumbfounded.

She stared at him with cold eyes and said indifferently, snapping her fingers to summon her elite guards.

"Feed him to the dogs."

...

..

.

After the subtraction of one person from the entire hall, she asked her question again.

"The clock is ticking, if no one answers in five seconds, then your fate will be the same as him."

She pointed towards a guard to start counting, he nodded and displayed his open palm to everyone, as a second passed, a finger would be pulled down.

Finally, a teacher summoned his courage and spoke.

"Y-your Imperial Highness, we teachers were not aware of that. Since it is tradition to send students every year, we assumed that nothing would happen, the fact being that only a few people have died every year from the assessment."

Lucifer didn't say anything, she crossed her legs comfortably showing her porcelain thighs, however, no one dared to even take a glimpse of it.

She seemed lost in thought and had a grim expression etched upon her visage. She tapped the table countless times.

Suddenly her eyes widened. She could feel a burst of power from somewhere in the nearby vicinity, specifically in the direction of the area of the survival assessment.

She could feel her skin itch and her face pale when she tried to feel the energy. She suddenly coughed a bit of black blood.

*Cough!* *Cough!*

All the teachers were confused and worried about Lucifer, she was the ruler of the entire Lower World!

Sebas and her elite guards rushed to help her up, Lucifer had bloodshot eyes and a chalked face as if seen her worst nightmare.

"The energy was malevolent.... no... this can't be possible... it should have stopped existing eons ago."

Sebas frowned at the tense expression of Lucifer and asked.

"Which energy?"

Lucifer gulped her saliva.

"Pure Death Energy."

Sebas's eyes widened, he himself was a fallen angel who was a humble follower of Lucifer and descended down with his powers sealed from Eden to the Lower World along with many followers of her faction who turned into fallen angels.

He knew what Pure Death Energy meant, the foulest and most law-breaking energy to exist, second to nihility itself. Even gods and devils attributed to the domain of death can't control this energy.

The only user of the energy was the Supreme Ruler of Death, Death itself, Al-Mazur Qida.

It was energy considered to be a heretic, hence, for this reason, Witches and Espers are hated and termed Heretics since they can borrow Pure Death Energy along with their Infinite Mana trait.

They are too dangerous for the world, more because they actively support the Chaos Side and worship Death, Al-Mazur Qida.

At that moment, Rael's otherworldly body and handsomely beautiful face flashed in her mind.

'Oh no... Rael!'

"Let's head over there fast." She ordered everyone hurriedly, not before glaring at the teachers for the final time.

If they had controlled the situation better and not let their carelessness come in between, such a situation would never come where students as a whole would be threatened to be killed off, especially her lover, Rael.

She looked at an elite guard in her group and said indifferently.

"Gather a team to remove all worthless teachers from the school, fire the two principals and compensate handsomely to parents who have lost their children."

She could feel from a distance now that she was in her focussed mode that even before the emergence of the heretic energy, a great battle had taken place and damaged a lot, probably even lives of students were lost.

She then turned to look at her guards and Sebas and nodded.

"Let's go."

Darkness, eery darkness, that is all I could see. It was different from the abyss, I didn't feel bored this time.

Instead.

I can feel every part of me devouring the darkness. I opened my eyes to look at the two people in front of me, Qida and Akashik.

I looked towards Qida with an amused expression.

"So you were not lying about trying to take possession of my body?"

Qida nodded with a resentful expression.

"I hadn't expected that I would instead lose the battle of possession!! This is all because of this mirror image of yours!!! I could have gotten a limitless body and come back to life and even take my revenge!"

I couldn't help but fall silent, Akashik Records... just what is it? Is it maybe a Supreme Treasure? Or is it something even higher?

Without the help of Akashik Records which I am a part of, I doubt I could win the battle for possession against Death itself.

A bitter smile crept onto Death's face.

"See how the tables have changed, now you will be inheriting my everything. My grand plan was perfect, I would have merged with the soul of the person who would claim my legacy and take possession of his/her body completely. However, I had not expected this. You, Irakiel are an absolute anomaly."

I couldn't help but smile, it feels good but also troublesome at the same time.

Now that I think properly if I had not existed then Death would have been a protagonist of the new world cycle with the support of the heavens and fate.

Al-Mazur Qida would have taken possession of Shen Ji, maybe since their souls would join, he would be influenced by the lustful behavior of dragons and even try to make a harem.

Harem seems to be necessary for all protagonists with plot armor.

Well, now he won't get a chance to create a harem but as compensation, I will add the lovers that would have been his in my own harem.

I am just too kind.

It was at that time that Akashik spoke,

"Well, you won't be disappearing any soon since your energy is still in the process of absorption."

Death's eyes shined, I knew what that meant. He must have been a tea fanatic... he just wants to have snacks the entire time.... why the hell was he termed a heretic? It doesn't suit a child who can be bribed with snacks.

"Why were you deemed a heretic?" I needed to ask him this.

He replied while munching the cookies that he finally got after much begging.

"I don't remember... I think because I wanted to dominate the world or was it to destroy..... shit!! I don't remember! I decided on a whim because I was bored. Still, I am sure that it is one of the two reasons."

I stared at him dumbfounded expression and sighed ultimately. There is no shortage of edgy, chunni, wannabe people in this world.

Totally not me.

"Anyway I am leaving the mindscape, I need to check what's going on outside, I can't let my body look as if in a daze and paralyzed still in place for a long time. What if a woman comes and rapes me?"

Akashik and Qida cringed at my shameless words, to be honest, even I cringed at my own words. Surely no woman would rape me in that state, right?

My vision then started to get blurry and I could see myself farther and farther away from Akashik and Qida.

They waved at me and I waved them back, bidding goodbye. It was at that time that Qida screamed something at me with a giddy expression on his face.

"Oh, I forgot to inform you!! You will have Pure Death Energy, it will put a massive target on your back!! Since I wrecked too much destruction and showed its true prowess which declared my energy to be heretic!!! Bye-bye!!!"

Say what now...? Heretic? Target? You bitch.... are you trying to ruin my already not so peaceful life?!

I will definitely make you my stepson!!

And then as a kind stepfather, I will punish you!!
