Chapter 422 421- Emperor Of Mist
After Zach left the cave to travel alone, Asmodeus was alone in the cave.
At first, she thought that Zach would return after taking a walk and wouldn"t leave her behind like that, but when Zach didn"t return after a few minutes, Asmodeus realized that she was forsaken by Zach just like everyone else in her life.
SNIFF!
The tears she had been holding all the time rolled down her eyes. She wiped them but more just came out.
"Why does this always happen to me?" she asked herself.
Her gaze fell on the dagger Zach had placed beside her, and she threw it away.
"Stupid… " she muttered.
She walked out of the cave but soon returned inside after realizing it was too late to go outside.
"I can"t believe I will have to spend the night alone in this cave. It"s all my fault… I should have acted nicely and listened to what he was trying to say. I even made him feel sad and guilty for no reason.
I didn"t want to do it. I thought he was trying to make fun of me, but I was wrong. His life wasn"t any better than mine. Yet…" She wiped her tears and gulped down before muttering, "It"s not too late to chase after him.
Maybe I will find him resting in another cave in the distance? Wait, no… what if he gets attacked by the demon lord"s general? I have to go save him!"
Asmodeus got up and rushed outside the cave, or so she wanted to, but she was stopped by an invisible barrier.
"...!"
She could walk freely inside the cave but couldn"t leave the cave. She tried striking her sword but felt like she was. .h.i.tting a robust wall.
She grabbed a small piece of rock from the ground and threw it out of the cave, but it also bounced back.
"Don"t tell me…"
"I am under attack!" Asmodeus clenched her sword tight and stood in a defensive stance.
"Who"s there?! Show yourself!"
[How funny!] A voice said. [When I was patrolling, I sensed movement in the forest, but I a.s.sumed it was some monster out for a hunt. I was about to leave but then heard yelling, so I came to check, and what a surprise!]
"Are you the demon lord"s general?" Asmodeus asked without showing any fear on her face.
[Of course I am! Do you think anyone is as worthy and powerful as me to be the demon lord"s general?]
"Well, there are six more generals, so I don"t think you are some big shot," Asmodeus scoffed with a shrug.
[How dare you?! I was going to let you live after beating you miserably, but now I will kill you!]
"I was just traveling through the forest to the next city. I don"t think that"s a crime," Asmodeus remarked.
[If you are not a citizen of this h.e.l.l, then it is a crime to roam freely!]
"But I do have citizens.h.i.+p of this h.e.l.l. Do you want proof?"
[Shut up! Don"t act smart, you b.i.t.c.h! I heard everything! You were plotting to kill the great demon lord!]
"Oh… welp… you should have mentioned that first. I am not really a fan of acting or lying."
Asmodeus made a cut on her finger with the sword and said, "Let"s fight!"
[Ahahahaha! What makes you think that you can defeat me?]
"I don"t know. And I am not sure if I can defeat you. But then again… you are a coward who can"t even show himself in front of his opponent, so that boosts my confidence to the next level!"
[How dare you call me a coward! Not once, but twice!]
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The man was wearing a full body coat, and his skin was gray colored with red eyes and sharp claws.
"..." Asmodeus raised her brow as she tried to remember the name of the demon lord"s general, but she couldn"t recall it.
[Hah! I see your body has frozen in fear! That"s right! Tremble before me and ask for my forgiveness! If you lick my toes and do anything as I say, I might make you my plaything!]
"Eww. That"s disgusting." Asmodeus spat on the ground and said with a disgusted look on her face. "Who would even want to stand beside you, let alone look at you. You look so ugly, and what"s with that edgy outfit?
Do you think you look cool? Even the ugliest monster would look beautiful if it stood next to you. And even a disgusting worm monster wouldn"t want to mate with you! Have you ever looked in the mirror?"
Asmodeus scoffed out loud and a.s.serted, "Earlier, I said my confidence was boosted, but I would like to know from where in the h.e.l.l you get such confidence to even call yourself a living being?
And if you don"t mind, would you please make yourself invisible or whatever? I feel like puking whenever I look at your face. Better yet, just get the f.u.c.k out of here and don"t show your face to anyone ever again!"
While Asmodeus didn"t attack the general lord physically, she had inflicted +9999969 emotional damage and destroyed him mentally.
[Heh…heh… hahahahahaha!] The general lord"s eyes glowed red as he said, [I have changed my find. I will keep you alive and play with your body every day!]
"Eww! Again. I got the same threat not long ago. And to be completely honest, I would rather let my brother r*pe me than allow you to touch me with your disgusting hands!" Asmodeus shot yet another emotional attack.
[Enough! How dare you disrespect me so much! Domain expansion!] The general"s body slowly turned into mist and covered the entire cave.
"...!"
[I am the Emperor of the Mist! I can turn myself into a mist, and no one can touch me!]
The mist moved towards Asmodeus as the voice uttered, [I will enter your body and have my fun with it!]
Asmodeus swung her sword, but as he had said, the blade couldn"t cut the mist.
[Ahahaha! I will make you regret everything you said!]
Asmodeus covered her mouth to stop the mist from going inside her body.
[Do you think your mouth is the only place I can enter your body?!]
Just as the Emperor of the Mist was going to enter Asmodeus" body, the mist was pulled back for some reason. And then, a voice uttered:
"Do you think no one can harm you just because you are a mist?"
