Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 486: Richter Snow - His Name is Yami

Was this man a fool? The second coming? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Taking a deep breath. I studied this stranger, whose gaze was as cold as master Drar and collected as the Celestial King. It was almost chilling being stared down by this man.

"Lady Yu Lan, who is this gentleman, that seemed to have taken me to your bed chambers," I exclaimed, glancing around at the few pieces of clothing thrown about on the floor.

A cough suddenly uttered from this strange beast by her side, he smiled, twirling his fingers through his obsidian hair, wrapping his other arm around Yu Lan.

"My love! How it has come to this. I had visited you many a moon. You must forgive this concubine of yours for his error in judgment. When I saw this... would you say lesser man, I brought him to your chambers. As to make him jealous, but it seems I was wrong."

Dropping my jaw, I glanced at Yu Lan's white-hot stare and the cheeky smile upon the stranger's face, betrayed by the solemn glint gripping his eyes.

"I'm Going to kill you."

"In bed later. I know. Lan-Lan thirst is so--"

"Speak another word, and I will really kill you." Yu Lan screamed, blushing from head to toe.

The stranger grew silent and still lowered his head as his shoulder trembled. This bastard was enjoying this!

Clearing my throat, I sighed and then continued, "As I was saying. My master, the Celestial King, wishes to know your status with this Abbadon Snow. And where his daughter currently is."

Glancing around, Yu Lan beckoned for me to step past the threshold, complying with her order. The doors closed behind me.

"Abbadon Snow, as you know, is to be my next husband, but that is due to a deal. We made, it was never going to happen." She phased rather robotically as if having explained this before.

Placing my hands behind my back, my gaze shifted back to the man by her side, and then back to Yu Lan, "What of Ars--"

Covering my mouth with her palms, Lan glared with scorching eyes. "Say his name again, in my kingdom, and I swear I will drive a blade up your ass and through your throat. Do you have any idea how much chaos gripped my city?"

"How could he. He is his brother, after all, or so I hear. The Snows can be quite inconsiderate to those around them."

"Who the bloody hell are you!" I howled, growing quite aggravated with this arrogant bastard.

"How rude. Where are my manners?" This pretentious fucker voiced, cuffing his palms together. "I am The Great, Yami of Noctem? It's a pleasure, I am sure."

Scoffing, I sneered, "Then Yami, I would suggest you keep your mouth shut."

"Not even the Great Kings of Hell can grant such a wish, yet you a little cretin who is no better than a maggot gorging on shit, dares even to open its mouth?"

Trembling where I stood, a wave of false divinity rippled from my flesh. Hovering where I stood, the air grew stale with death.

Snorting, Yami opened his palms that began to thunder a demonic aura that placed a deep seethed fear into my soul.

What the hell is that?

"Yami, stop this," Yu Lan demanded, stepping in between us, "You to Richter. You are on a mission by the King. Act with some decorum and not be baited."

Letting the ripples of our power flutter through Yu Lans bed-chamber, brewing a storm of Qi, Yami smirked. Then all of a sudden, he flashed.

I had to be fast, to be strong, but everything had happened so quickly. Before I could understand it, I was already but a bolt of obsidian lightning that tore through the castle.

Blasting me through the castle walls, the flesh upon my arms tore apart. My organs shifted while my face crashed headfirst into the dirt.

BOOOM!!!!!

Vomiting a mouthful of blood, I glanced at the large hole in my chest. Trembling with more wrath and humiliation I had ever faced, I groaned, staggering to stand.

"YOU BASTARD!!!!" I screamed with a burning fire in my heart, storming the skies with my peak False God Cultivation; I hovered off the ground, ready to strike.

Finding a grin upon his face Yami, shattered the ground below him and bolted off the edge of the castle towards me.

Pulling 'Titan' the longsword my master had gifted me from space, the divinity around me amplified by a factor of a thousand. However, Yami did not seem deterred.

Thrusting his palm out like one would a spear, an intent so profound, stormed the skies piercing through the ground and rubble around me, withering the very concepts of life away.

Clashing my longsword against his bare palms, I roared, putting my all into severing this fool in half. Yet it was for not.

Driving me back a few meters, my legs dug into the earth, tearing up the gravel as I was forced away. Yami, however, stood still with his mocking smile.

"Is this all you have to offer? Is this the limit of your power Richter Snow! How disappointing. A loser such as you is pathetic! Drar'ethiul must be turning over watching this pathetic affair."

Calming myself akin to a still lake, Titan shuddered with a radiant force, pouring more divinity into my sword. My aura spiked and twisted like a force of nature.

Cracking a smile of approval mixed with disdain, Yami dared to clap, "Impressive, truly, but if you don't use any demonic Artes or celestial one. You will die." He said, giving a quick snap of his fingers when all of a sudden, the hairs upon my neck rose on end.

"Spiral Dance!" I roared, twisting as a pillar of black lightning fell from the heavens.

Dodging by the skin of my teeth, a nick of blood gushed from my head, staining my eyes red. Groaning inwardly, not letting myself show weakness, I charged towards this monster.

"My power is slowly matching my comprehension. How interesting." He expressed excitingly, smiling sinisterly with a familiar sadistic tendency.

"Severing Sovereignty," I howled, just in arm's length of my enemy.

Flickering my arms, a rain of sword strokes covered in the 8th level of the Dao of Swords exploded into a web of extinction. Cutting time, space, and other Dao's apart, my blade steered for Yami's head.

"DIE!!!"
