chapter 68 - monarch vs dark triad part 2

As Samshiel was busily fighting Dante, he had sent a clone to meet a certain someone from the shadow. While he was trying to find his target he could see the dark triad subordinates being cocky believing the invaders are no match to their master.

"Oh really now?"

Two lackeys were surprised to see someone appear from the shadows and tried retaliate but were quickly dispatched by Samshiel's clone by putting his palms on their stomachs.

"[Weak force]."

The canon fodders were instantly disintegrated into nothingness even a simple scream did not escape their mouths. The clone looked at their remaining bodies and devoured them by his shadow.

"Where are you?"

Samshiel clone continued to search and didn't take long for him to find a man with long dark ponytail wearing a long cloak and turtleneck. His eyes were similar to Samshiel.

Observing him, Samshiel couldn't help but think how similar their character appearances. He felt like he was the knock-off.

'Damn! I feel like I copied his stereotype.'

The person he was observing was none other than the vice captain of Black Bulls whose mission was to gather information from The Spade Kingdom.

"You should watch your back."

Revealing himself Samshiel fell down from the ceiling as Naught summoned his demon to subdue him but the his demon was no match for his shadow soldiers holding ther blades to the demon's neck.

Naught was surprised but maintained his poker face. Nodding from his action Samshiel thought he was a competent spy.

"You are the vice captain of the Black Bulls, am I wrong?"

"Who are you? What purpose did you come here?"

"Dude chill I'm not your enemy like seriously I could kill you anytime I want."

Samshiel summoned countless tentacle like blade pointing at his neck. He was surprise someone had similar magic as him.

"Are you a devil user as well?"

"No that magic is mine and I dislike borrowing power from something I can't trust."

Naught was calmly observing trying to find a way if he were to be a threat but seeing it was impossible he decided what goal he want.

"What do you from me?"

"Straight to point huh? Well I want you to help a certain member from your squad."

"That would be the anti-magic user?"

"Exactly! Because of personal circumstances I need you train him a few months from now in The Hearts Kingdom. I will be killing these devils pests for good."

Samshiel could permanently kill the devils but it was troublesome and he could always let someone else do it for him.

"I hate the Black Bulls…but I hate The Dark Triad the most, I will do what you requested but tell me who you are first."

Samshiel knew of his past and how the devil user sfrom the past had corrupted his noble family. Many people had been in rage from Naught's family history, that would be their rituals to the devil.

"I don't want to tell who I am but my name would suffice I am Lacrima."

Samshiel already made sure that he won't be able to recognize him by using genjutsu.

"Go to The Heart Kingdom the queen will surely welcome you."

Samshiel's clone then disappeared leaving Naught cracking his eyes open while giving a warm smile.

"That person is interesting…"

_______________________________

Few kilometers away from where Samshiel was fighting Dante. Multiple figures were fighting a single individual barely holding themselves.

Their opponent was a woman wearing skintight latex like clothes with colorful carapace around her arms and legs. Behind her were four spider legs that was spewing poisonous liquid and her scorpion tail slashing her opponents. Her dark long hair swayed as her four carapace eyes glinted while evading an attack.

"You devil users are really interesting huh? It feels like you're more of a pest than I am."

The woman in question was Quinn The Monarch of Plagues. She was busily entertaining her prey as she was secreting a poisonous pheromone but her opponent was unaffected.

"This is really fun!! You lot stop helping."

The woman with a bob haircut was wearing a leather vest and cloak that has furry shoulder. She had an eyepatch with a yandere smile as she used a spell exploding into powerful bomb. The woman was Vanica who didn't bat an killing her subordinates.

The kilometer of land was obliterated from the explosion but the two women didn't sustain any wounds. Quinn was getting annoyed by her opponent's actions.

"Oh wow you survived!? I never fought someone that strong."

Quinn was quite annoyed from her antics and wanted to end their fight but her 'father' wanted them to last at least few minutes while using minimal power.

She hated the plan and wanted everything to end much more quicker by using her full power but she respected her father's wishes.

She evaded a multitude of attack from blood beasts created Vanica as she created a poison that corroded the blood. Vanica just smiled even more as she unleashed 50% of her power creating a pair of bat wings behind her while twisted horns appeared and dark veins consumed her body.

"This is really fun!! Those whom I fought were never able to last this far without getting wounded!"

"It means that they are weak."

Quinn used her spider legs that move in a blinding speed trying to stab Vanica who just happily dodged the attack while countering using a giant blood claw.

"Can you try do it more seriously? This isn't fun when you are not struggling?"

A tick mark appeared on Quinn's forehead and she created a magic circle with all types of poisons that were being negated by Vanica whose flesh was getting eroded but was healing in a rapid pace.

Vanica used a curse magic to increase her speed appearing behind Quinn then sliced her body in half.

"Oh I thought it would be muc-URGH!!!??"

Before he could finish her words she could feel her body was being eaten alive by something and saw insects larvae were leaving her body.

She could feel her organs were being eaten alive from the inside. As much as she wanted it to end nothing was happening.

"You bitch!!? I was trying to hold back but I did not expect for you to not be affected by poison this server. I want to kill you now but I can't as father needs your body."

Quinn who was most impatient among the monarchs was in rage from her continuous blabbering. She looked at Vanica who was crying front the agony.

Quinn suddenly moved aside as a powerful surge of energy was gathering from Vanica. Her appearance became much more demonic with a third eye appearing on her forehead.

{I did not expect that another race would appear in this world…That outsider is annoyi-.}

Before he could finish it's word Quinn appeared from behind as she tried to stab Vanica with her spider legs but she was able to move fast enough and countered by slashing at her. Thankfully Quinn was able to dodge the attack.

{Impatient huh, that's amusing? Why don't you try it again and we will see what happens?}

"Tch you're one persisting devil."

She moved in lightning speed and so did Megicula as their melee attacks were destroying the nearby mountains and trees. Quinn was using her extra limbs to attack while Megicula did the same by creating blood tentacles.

{Amusing girl you are able to keep up with me despite the power difference!}

Megicula increased its speed while slashing Quinn's face. All of a sudden an immense bloodlust befell Megicula unlike it had ever felt. Even for a devil such bloodlust was terrifying.

"You pest!!! How dare you put a wound on my father's creation?!!! I did not want to do this but you made me angry!"

Quinn did a small incantation that soon after followed by something cracking. Then a burst of energy was suddenly unleashed unlike Megicula ever felt. The one that sealed them doesn't even have a fourth of her power.

Megicula vision turned upside down as Quinn appeared behind the devil and her speed had left after images. The pain that came next was indescribable.

"Your curse magic is indeed powerful but my poison magic is much more potent."

What Quinn did was create a poison that induce a powerful sense of pain even in the slightest touch. Imagine what Megicula felt when its head was twisted upside down.

"This is annoying! Father would scold me for unsealing my power!"

"Oh it's quite alright Quinn, as long as you didn't harm yourself."

"Father, where are you!?"

"I'm on my way to Yugomuth to devour Zenon, bring Vanica to me and please tell me you didn't kill her yet?"

"Oh no father I didn't, I promise!!"

"I see that's a good girl, Quinn, let's meet up with Yugomuth."

After Samshiel said that he cut off the telepathy link between him and Quinn. If he had listened more, Samshiel would have noticed Quinn's silence.

'F-father just called me a good girl!? Oh, I made father happy!! I'll ask if I could have an heir later!'

After of few minutes in her little fantasy, Quinn finally looked back to Vanica who was the reason that her father praised her as a good girl and thought that she didn't look as annoying a before, she then healed her instantly using her poison magic.

"Now then woman I'll bring you to father."
