Devil Heart

"The fuck is going on!" I muttered as the teary-eyed temptress cried within her palms.

There was an almost pitiful air to her as she stared deep into my soul. I could sense both hatred and confusion, which surprised me... It was like she truly trusted me, but we had only met once or twice. There was no reason for her to be like this. We were not friends or anything of the sort.

Pushing my head off my pillow, I stared at the fragile girl, completely different from what I saw before. "Ezra, what happened? Why are you crying?"

"Drop the act Arsene... Let me see the real you. You don't care about my tears. In fact, you may be getting a kick watching me like so. You're a fucking bastard; it will not be long before you do the same thing with Yura. You will break everything you touch. She will hate you just the same."

Arching my lips, my gaze slowly began to fill with amusement, "Oh really? It's funny how people who do not even understand our relationship judge us. Ezra, daughter of the Great King Asmodeus, however, is now in my bed crying like some three-year-old girl."

Watching as she froze, I suddenly smiled, remembering her body a few hours ago, "Hmmm, could something have happened? You said Devil heart, so that must mean my earlier words began to corrupt you. Then you shook at the name Asmodeus. So? have you been abandoned?"

Biting her lip, I laughed, "So what do you have now Ezra, you are nothing more than a devil without a title. You have nothing, and you are worth nothing." I spat, watching her eyes slowly lose their light.

Placing my hands upon her cheek, I smirked, "You lack the basic qualifications of a true king, so tell me, what good are you? Aside from a good fuck sleave, what can you do instead of popping that pussy for me?"

"s-s-stop," she weakly said as more tears ran from her eyes. Turning her face away in shame, I pulled it back, snorting in disdain.

"You sicken me!" I shouted in disgust as she stiffened, "A little setback, and you fall to this? If this is your will, then just kill yourself. Even a two-cent whore has a stronger mind than you!"

"I-I-I"

"Fuck off and strip for me!" I roared as her eyes open wide. I could see rage slowly building up, causing me to push even harder "I can have a quick fuck, and then send you on your way. If you have given up on being a king, we have no use for you, but I am quite interested in fucking a devil that was spawned from the Sin of Lust. I am sure my cock will have quite the ride...Shit, even Yura might forgive me. "

"FUCK YOU, ARSENE!!!!" Erza roared, punching me straight into the wall. Blacking out for a second, I fell to the ground, groaning in anguish. Feeling my jaw hanging by some loose flesh, I glared daggers at Ezra.

"ohou Fbi t fe bitae ave aee gel igether me," I screamed in annoyance, pointing towards my jaw as her killing intent began to rise. However, I could care less. I was the one who does shit like this to people. How dare she do the same to me! This bitch destroyed my jaw!!!

Pushing qi into my destroyed jaw, I could feel it quickly begin to heal as Ezra suddenly clenched my throat as tears poured from her eyes.

Raising her fist again, I suddenly snorted as it flew towards my face, "Are you giving up?"

Watching as her fist stopped, my crimson eyes began to glimmer, "Are you going to give up? Foolish little girl, stop blaming yourself and look at what you already have. Your father created what he had. Is it not your turn to do it yourself?"

"Whether it's demons or humans, you are all the same. You are not entitled to anything he has, girl. If you want it, take it by force or earn it. If you cannot do any of those things, create something even better. You are such a foolish child. I spoke the words to help you, but instead, it brought out your insecurities. It's fine to know where your insecurity lies but do not let it rule you. It's unbecoming of the New Ruler of Hell."

Dropping me upon the ground, Ezra stared off into space while I tried to heal my injuries. Rising to my feet, I glared at the girl, "Not everyone gets one, but you will. It will not happen again. I will straight punch a bitch in the face."

Wiping the blood from my jaw, I once again laid upon my bed, trying to relax. However, what Ezra said had me pondering.

"Devil Heart, I suppose it is what I do when I anger people. It starts small but depending on who you are. It could completely destroy you instantly or slowly. It's the perfect Mortal Dao for me. The Dao of Devil Hearts was my nature."

Closing my eyes, I didn't bother to absorb qi this night. I was rather tired. I think it was due to the souls I got within the prison. Thyphors ate them bare, but they should be awakening soon. It will not be long before I start breaking through like crazy.

Lightly smiling as mother began to fill my soul, I spoke aloud for him to hear within the realm of eternal night, " Asmodeus, you cunning bastard, you really owe me. I shall train her. This was, after all, your plan, was it not? While there are some things I don't understand, I know you wanted this to happen. You pressured her deeply. The quiver at your name tells a lot. I believe something happened to change up your plans, but it doesn't matter, does it."

"What are you willing to give me? I am more than willing to create her anew. Ezra will be someone worthy of you passing her your title, but what can you give me?"

Feeling the darkness slowly growing stronger, my mind began to slip as the words a particular sin rang within my soul.

"You are the most arrogant bastard I have ever met. Daring to deal with me. Boy, you have some balls, but you are correct; I do, in fact, owe you. Train her, and I shall give you The Throne of Tenebrae. Marking you The Monarch of Darkness within this fourth Dimension."

"Both the Will and Power of Tenebrae reside within this throne, show me results, boy, and it shall be yours. This is your Final Trial given to you by me. The others may distribute more out, but once you finish this trial, all others shall vanish. This is your out, do not fail me, boy! My Daughter has one of the highest potentials I have ever seen, and I will make her realize her dream, even if she hates me for it, for I am her father.
