The Demon's Bride

Chapter 507: Road to Hell-I

Both Leviathan and Hallow was led outside of the morgue. Hallow who had been following from behind find the path the nurse led them to became weirder and stranger by the time they stepped out of the large doors of the morgue.

"Hey," whispered Hallow, trying to be discreet. Leviathan kept a distance of around seven steps behind the nurse. "There is something wrong with this woman. Isn't her socks are in different colors?" Hallow who had seen the nurse's legs the entire time as he was placed inside Hallow's pocket notice the change.

"Where are we going now?" Leviathan asked the nurse, putting aside the task to answer Hallow.

"It won't be far. You walked through the forest I heard from the guard, Mr. Adler. Does that mean you also see the large building there?" The nurse questioned without turning her head back.

"I am not sure," answered Leviathan. They walked far away from the morgue until Leviathan noticed the path they took gradually passed by lesser people. "I might have seen it I might have not seen it either. How is Mr. Langston?"

"He is alright, the season is getting busier but I have a better suggestion for you, Mr. Adler—" the nurse drawled when she walked toward the small ally created between two large houses. Her flat heels stopped clicking the ground and she turned her face where the right side of her face had melted, "It would do you much better if you learn to never follow strangers like a lost puppy."

Leviathan didn't have to lift his face to notice the lesser corrupted angels who had been hiding behind the corner of the walls and over the sloped roof coming out from their hiding place.

"Lost puppies?" Leviathan repeated with a faint chuckle while his eyes were smileless, "I wonder why does creatures like you who thinks they are the most powerful and smartest still could not understand their own vulnerability against someone stronger than them?"

"We know you are a high demon, sir Adler," the nurse smiled eerily that had Hallow to shiver, "But do you know that no matter how strong a high demon is against numbers of corrupted angels as well as dark sorcerers, do you really think you have a chance?"

"There it is your mistake," Levi answered and the nurse raised her brows with a questioning look. "Calling me sir Adler is already your first and biggest mistake. Stop speaking and come."

"How cocky," the nurse ground her teeth and she tipped her chin to her friend, "You will taste your own words soon!"

Two corrupted angels charged toward Leviathan. He had a very calm manner, his expression passive on the eyes but his lips were spread in a wide cruel smile. In the end, he was the son of Satan, having acquired nothing from her mother side and only the demonic quality from his father, the thought of seeing blood had Leviathan in a joy no one other than demons would understand.

He raised his hand, looking at the corrupted angels as if they were children. He used his entire palm to take the two angel's entire head by his hand and without much effort, he tightened the five grip of his fingers on their head, crushing their skull.

Red blood dripped all over his finger and Leviathan brought the same hands over his face.

"I-I thought you were someone who dislike a fight," Hallow whispered during this time, feeling shiver at the way Leviathan's eyes fired up while staring at the blood as if the prey wasn't the corrupted angel but the blood. "Elise dislike fights."

"She acquired those good attributes from Adelaide fortunately," Leviathan added his last words belatedly. "While I love blood and death. My wife doesn't particularly like them which is the only reason why I had stopped. Keep what you are about to see now a secret from Elise. I can't have her fear me."

Hallow didn't manage to reply as after the corrupted angels had regain from their surprise, this time, they used their amount in people to defeat Leviathan. It was foolish for them to think they could ever land a single hit to Leviathan. Hallow noticed how the demon was having fun when he fight. His smile was wide and he barely move despite having to already take down seven corrupted angels around them.

Their deaths weren't a good sight to be behold. When a dark sorcerer had came to push a stake by shielding with his magic. With ease, Leviathan thrust his finger across the shield the dark sorcerer casted. His finger didn't stop and continue to push until he reached his enemy stomach. When he smiled as if finally finding what he was searching, Leviathan pulled out his hand, along with the long intensities of the person.

If he wasn't a grim reaper, Hallow could tell he would vomit from the sight he seen. The prince of Hell fight dirty and ferociously. Some of the people who died can't even match their previous look.

The other two dark sorcerers on the roof was shocked at what they see. Fear of death finally come toward them.

"I-I am out of this!" yelled one of the two dark sorcerers on the roof who then casted aside his robe to run faster. He only managed to take a single step as Leviathan suddenly appeared before him.

"In Hell you only fight until you die. Backing away means death, dumb angel," Leviathan used his finger to give a light flick toward the dark sorcerer's head and stream of blood splatters all over his face.

Without turning his face over the other dark sorcerer on the left side, he pick the broken part of the roof and flick to have the rock propel straight to the dark sorcerer's head, causing a round hole in the perfect middle of the man's forehead.

With her members all killed, the corrupted angel who had been using the skin of the nurse staggered back in both fear and shock.

"I-I-"

"I believe we are in an understanding now of who is the superior here," Leviathan started, "You will be telling me why you chased me."

"Th-The dark sorcerer Lord request us to kill as much as high demons as possible. P-Please forgive me! I don't mean to hurt you. If I know you are—"

"I was often told that I look weaker compared to my strength. Do you know that when I was in Hell what I was called?" The woman was too scared to speak. It was often quick for people who once thought they were predator to crumble into fear when they realized they had met a stronger predator than them. "I am the prince of Hell," and the woman's eyes widened to the point she looks unflattering.

"It appears that you don't know who I am. Who is this dark Lord you say?"

"W-We have never seen him," the woman quickly replied, her hands which was splayed next to her crawled away.

"You are working for someone whom you haven't seen? The world do get stranger the more you know about your surrounding," hummed Leviathan with his unimpressive expression on his face, "I am very intrigued about this mission your dark sorcerer Lord has to say, tell me."

"We were told to kill as many demons and participate to slaughter villages to bring people back to life," the woman who feared death spoke, "We were also told to find the demon's bride—" the woman who had acted weak plunge her hand which was holding a flask over Leviathan's face, letting the water inside the bottle to splash over Levi's head but he didn't move neither did he reacted on the action.

"What did you say?" Leviathan's voice chillingly left his mouth. The flask that the corrupted angels threw had been filled with holy water. Seeing how unaffected Leviathan despite how his skin sizzles and white smoke form on the left side of his face, the woman's face turned paler.

"N-No way how?"

"I told you I am the prince," Leviathan clicked his tongue and pushed the woman on the wall. His eyes glared wider at the woman. "Now tell me what did you say about the Demon's Bride?"

By the time the fight ended, the street was colored in red. The gaps between the floor which was made with bricks crawled the deep red liquid. Standing alone, from Leviathan's fingertips blood continue to drip down languidly. His golden eyes turned brighter and intense in anger.

"How dare they," Leviathan said with a faint humorless chuckle. "They will pay. Chick," Leviathan scrunched his brows when he realized the chick on his pocket had disappeared. He thought about whether or not to find the chick or leave it. He then remembered of how the chick was a favorite pet of his daughter. Not wanting Elise to be sad and needing some informations from Hallow, Leviathan turned his body, deciding to search for the missing chick.

"Tch, he is running away," whispered Leviathan who took a step for the shadows underneath him to burst and spiral away.

Not far from Leviathan, Hallow's beak was covered by a hand.

"Shh," warned the person who held his mouth and muffled his words. The man stood behind the walk. "I have been wanting to talk with you without the expanse of a demon, naturally."
