Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 417: [Bonus Chapter]Aiza Syv - Throne Of Darkness

"Are you sure!" I shouted, rising from out of my chair at the image of my young disciple. She appeared haggard, but it seemed to be nothing of concern. She was, after all, my disciple. Her heart should be strong enough to cast any inner demon away.

"I heard it with my own ears," She once again repeated as I turned to the grim expression on Aeron. Shifting my attention back, I nodded with understanding, "do not bring it up again. Just keep following them." I said, severing the connection.

"He cannot get that throne. We need to talk to Tian Wang. If he does indeed have it, we need to take it." Aeron grimly uttered, "Arsene cannot have that throne. he is already a chosen of Tenebrae to give him the throne is to give birth to another king."

"We cannot fight Tang Feng," I declared to be fact. That man was many things, but he held so much influence even we fear to anger him now, especially with his wife having a close relationship with Leviathan.

To think that bitch was able to grab the devil's attention but the one who holds the highest affinity doesn't.

"While we could destroy the celestial palace, we ourselves will be weakened by the battle, not to mention the reason I am here. The others are ready to have our discussion."

"They are already on Alos?" I asked with a smile.

"Indeed, but it seems Yael wishes to be a part of our meeting." He said, causing a frown to sink into our lips.

"We promised not to have dealings with the Angels or Devils. In the end, both will use us as pawns."

'Yael is not someone anyone can simply deny, not to mention we owe him a favor."

"We owe the Seven Heavens, not him." I corrected with a heavy grimace.

"And he is here as their representative. This is not just about Arsene, but something deeper. Soloman will also be there," he stated, causing my mood to sink further.

"Why?"

"Because I invited him the moment Yael appeared." Said Aeron darkly, "Soloman wants Arsene for himself, for his Flames. While Yael, well, I can only assume he is here because Arsene killed Yishamiel."

"Things are getting too chaotic, Aeron. I needn't tell you Soloman holds close ties with Aldrich."

"That is why we need to figure out something, Zelos is fading fast, and that snake Loki is appearing and leaving more and more than usual. He is currently heading to Alos. No doubt with a message for Arsene."

Rising from out of his chair Aeron held me in his sights with icy eyes, "You said you have a plan for Arsene; we need to know what it is."

"We?" I scuffed, "You do not get to say any of that after all that bullshit I just heard! You allowed Yael and Soloman to our table. We are fucking Nox, yet here they are. Founder or not, I cannot simply allow this to pass."

"I warned you about Arsene, and you still do not see, do you? How long will it take for you to understand Arsene is not to be messed with? He holds abilities even he doesn't even know he has. Power's he has yet to grasp, that echo into creation onto itself. Tell me you do not feel the darkness of creation different than before?

"My plan will work, for it has already been implemented the moment Yu Jing drank of the cup I offered her." I sinisterly hissed.

"You are not a devil, but you are blinded just like Soloman. Greed truly is the weakness of all. The meeting begins tomorrow. I shall see you then." Aeron uttered about to vanish when I shouted in haste.

"Wait! If the others are here, where are their disciples? I do not expect them to be at our meeting within the Court of Nox."

"From what I hear, they wanted everyone to meet each other, so they dropped them relatively close to Yu Jing within the swords coast." He said, vanishing before I could ask any more.

Leaving my estate, I gazed out at the golden essence that hung in the air like net fishing for a devil; I shot into the skies. Piercing through the clouds as a being with long silver wings appeared with long golden hair and azure blue eyes. He was handsome, almost perfect in every capacity, if I had to say.

"Aiza Syv, we meet once again. how long has it been since we last met?" Yael uttered calmly, yet I could feel the indifference that seemed to never escape my ears.

"What is it the Seven Heavens wishes with us, the residence of the Bed of Chaos?"

"The Sea of Chaos has indeed fallen so. Not even able to defend itself against the Overworld." Placing his hands behind his back, his wings flapped bring with it such a power the hairs upon my neck rose to attention, but I did not waver. "Times are changing, Girl."

"Because of Arsene?"

"You still call him that! Show respect where it is deserved. Do you not feel it? Ever since I sealed this realm, the darkness has evolved, growing dark and demonic like the abyss. Many have begun calling it the Age of Abyssal Night. He is a Monarch; that is awakening."

Widening my eyes, my heart shuttered. As I suddenly felt the eyes of billions lock onto me, I could feel the color begin to fade, as a noble frown appeared upon Yael. "Noctem is calling for him. You still think it's so simple?"

Hovering in place with the occasional flicker of his wings, Yael's pale skin glistened with a golden radiance, "You know just as well as I, the Nines will back Arsene who is already a thorn in the eyes of the Seven Heavens, but there is also Lilith, who holds the authority of Hell itself. We need allies."

Narrowing my gaze, Yael turned towards the skies as a snake fell upon our eyes. Watching him smile, not towards me but the angel at my side, a sense of dread began to rise within me.

"My MY MY! Just the people I was looking for," He said, touching his chin with a sheepish smile, "I hear there is a meeting about the rising Monarch."

"Loki," Yael softly uttered, "are you not out of your length width and depth?"

Chuckling with a hint of condescension, Loki gave a half-bow flashing the angel a sharp glint, "You think we are afraid of Raziel? Even with the Throne, The King, and Shadow, has sent me to deliver you all a message."
