Hell’s Consort

Chapter 190 - Obsidian Orb



"Mischief and deception had surrounded not only us because you are not exempted from this." The Demon King said.

Placing her palms on her ears in panic, Luna had her mouth open in a silent scream as she squeezed her eyes shut to get rid of the image out of her mind. "I had no face for I can speak with the Other's voice or embody the Other's limbs." 

When Luna realized that that the Demon King had no face, that was when she realized that Lucifer was speaking straight into the minds of the creatures around him, for he had no mouth.

His face was as blank as an empty slate, and it was the scariest shit she had ever seen in her life.

Luna might have expected something scary and distorted, or even something beautiful yet cold and evil.

It had far exceeded her expectations.

Luna had regretted her demands to see the Demon King's face.

So, that was why every Archdemon in the throne room had donned masks so that it wouldn't feel too awkward for the Demon King.

He must have been cursed.

Luna heard him chuckle in her head, and the Demon King had returned the full mask he had worn.

He stood at his full height as he raised a palm, summoning a single golden orb with the inverted star on them while the other held a staff with a ruby crystal with the same size as the other orb.

Her gut feeling had triggered her flight response.

Luna's muscles tensed.

She desired to escape as she drew her demon wings out, but she couldn't control it yet.

The Demon King had anticipated this.

Tapping his magic staff three times on the red carpet, bright red and gold circuits resonated from that point as it traveled like waves of succeeding small to mammoth rings in the entire throne room.

The red room had turned pitch-black until there was only her and the Demon King left, and it felt like both of them were on another dimension.

Clutching her throat to curb her scream, she glanced around to search for Luxen, Ravin, and the others, and there were no were to be found.

Luna glanced down, and to her horror, Luna was standing on top of the Devil's Pentagram. 

She was about to step out of it quickly, but the Demon King had stepped in the pentacle, blocking her path.

Without warning, Lucifer wrapped one hand around her throat as the golden orb floated above her head, shining its weak light on her face.

It was the only source of light in that black void.

The Archdemon's fingers tightened as his sharp talons wrapped around her throat. 

"I will bestow you a part of myself—my Archdemon magic—which no one else would be able to control, not even my wife, Queen Jezebel." The Demon King sneered, not managing to hide his impatience.

He was determined not to let her slip from his grasp. "If you die, then I guess we would have to find another girl for Ravin and Luxen to attach their mating cords with. But I think you will do so I would put my faith in you."

'How ironic that the Demon King could place his faith on someone else other than himself?'

Luna would have retorted if she wasn't busy coughing and choking as she tried so hard to detach the Demon King's hand out of his arm sockets, but Lucifer was too strong.

Her vampire strength had no chance at all.

Eyes threatening to roll from the back of her head, Luna clawed at his hand with an open mouth as she gasped for air, but she fell right into Lucifer's trap.

The Demon King lifted her higher by the throat, and her feet had dangled from the Devil's pentagram.

She struggled and squirmed out of his hold, but the blasted old  man wouldn't budge.

The only thing she could do was grit her teeth, her mismatched eyes protruding with anger and hatred for being another man's pawn for his foolish games, which she hadn't asked to be a part of. 

"My sons had told me you are strong, intelligent, and a fast learner. Now that you are on our side as the link between Hell and other dimensions, we can't only limit ourselves to taking over the Upper Realms. Depending on your skills, we could gain victory over the Realm of the Heavens."

"Why…me?" Luna tried so hard to remain awake as her consciousness threatened to blackout again.

Honestly, she was at the point that she wouldn't be shocked if the Demon King had detached her head out of her neck by accident. 

"Out…of.. all?" Her broken words came out similar to a whimper as her empty eyes gave the Demon King a glassy stare while black and green spots danced at the edges of her vision.

The only thing that had kept her focus was the golden orb near her face.

She croaked. "Why?"

"I would tell you the secret of our Demonkind after I had completed the binding spell. You, as a new-born Archdemon because of Ravin and Luxen's blood and becoming one of us, were just the beginning. I knew that your blood would resist it at first because you were under the protection of goddesses." The Demon King had said as he jutted his chin, bragging in his superior tone. "Securing you as the wife of two Archdemons will make my task so much easier, and transferring my magic to you will be met without any resistance. Ravin and Luxen's blood had been so potent as it ran through your veins."

"They had also successfully tied themselves to your heart through blood exchange." Lucifer laughed arrogantly as he muttered to himself. "It was that effective. I had raised smart children."

Luna didn't have time to congratulate this Demon King.

"Fuck you." Luna mouthed, but Lucifer had understood.

The golden orb flying over her head had burst into flames before it turned into obsidian, shrinking into a tiny one.

Without warning, the obsidian sphere had moved like a spirit, dancing frantically before the thing entered her open mouth.
