Level of Madness
Chapter 4 : The Pact
Gore content
(Internal point of view: Damian)
- You know the reason for our presence here, right? Helen suddenly said on her guard, her tone is cold and she approaches a few steps, the girl sketches a smile by putting her hair back
- My knowledges are not necessarily true but I will not be long in discovering it and also ... I know very well that you are looking for something because it is very rare that humans so weak cross the border of the world to land at in this kingdom! You'd have to be crazy ... she answers in an almost frightening tone to our ears, a summary of sadism and fun. Helen puts a hand on my shoulder and I waved my eyes, I give my children and then takes me two steps
- We're looking for my wife, she ... died in our world but my son thought she was here, and we're starting to feel sure now that we've met you. Would you know where we could find what we are looking for? I asked him seriously.
I saw his beautiful face darken, a slight discreet smile is drawn on his lips and I feel his hand brush my neck
- Oh ... What a desperation, I can feel it eating away at your skin, creating cracks in your little heart and those of your children too! This despair is so great that it makes you believe that you can find a lost soul ... But ... I can not tell you that it is impossible too, this place I know by heart, and it is possible that I am able to fulfill your wishes! Everything will depend on the effect you will make me and if you show yourself obedient with me! The decision belongs to you alone! She tells us honeyedly as if to manipulate us
- What do you want ? Do you want our souls too? I asked him staying on my guard.
I see her spinning around us like a predator surrounding her prey
- Tss ... Do you take me for a vulgar yokai? I do not care about your souls, but on the other hand, I want them in a different way ... (she draws her black sword) I have a goal to reach and I will do everything to bring it to a successful conclusion. world to beg my help by calling me by their desperate prayers and as Goddess of Destruction ... I could not say no!
- What is your point ? What do you want from us in exchange for our request? Kirron intervened by crossing his arms and frowning, just like us: He has no confidence in this girl! Even if she is the identical portrait of our Pandora, her personality puts us on our guard, at any time she could turn against us, we must be careful, myself!
She smiles and I see Lucy coming towards her
- Mommy ... what would you like? What are we going to do to help you? She asks, I hasten to move her away from her as she undoes one of her gloves and then all over her arm ... Black lines are deeply inked in her skin and seems to suck something in her
- This marks are the symbol of my fury as well as my powers, let me transmit them to you so that we are linked and in exchange, I will offer you what you want! Bargain ? She told us, reaching out to us, seeing the marks on her arms gives me a strange thrill, they breathe an evil and powerful air, but the sweet face of my Pandore reappears in my mind and this hope that I feed it, just like my children and my friends behind me, then I feel Angel pulling on my pants.
- Daddy... ? Will Mom come back with us? He asks me with a sad little voice, I sigh while looking at the others who think too, I even see Kirron shrug and say
- We must believe that we are going to sell our souls to the Devil! But ... it requires reflection, and also, it would be great if we could see our little Princess, I guess it's the same for you Damian, and your children too! All agree, they are ready to make the deal with this girl just for me and my children, I'm smiling, it's been a long time since I had not smiled like that, I turn to this girl and tell her
- Okay, we agree to bond with you, but in exchange we want to find Pandore!
- "frowns" Very well ... I see that you should not ask you to think about the consequences! And me on my side, I would try to fulfill your wish, but at the slightest treason, know that you will regret it bitterly! She warned me, I swallow my saliva just thinking about what she could do to us ... And these marks on her body ... they do not inspire me any confidence, they make me even very scared. In addition nobody seems excited to receive these marks on our skin, she approaches me and I give her my arm, she does not react. Then she catches my shirt and tears, I jump suddenly and I feel her scratching with her nails, I grunt agony when I feel a sharp pain invade me in the chest. I fall to the ground.
I breathe heavily then look down on my chest, the black lines are embedded in my skin and flow throughout the top of my chest to my throat, and I like a sense of fear stuck in the throat .. The name of this girl, now I know him, but I can not pronounce it ... This Goddess of Destruction, is a real demon!
(Internal point of view: Spandel)
My heart swells in front of my chest when she walks towards me, Helen discreetly holds my hand to reassure me as this girl scratches at the location of my black opal, its marks invade my turn my body and I have atrocious resentments deep in the throat and a very heavy discomfort that turns me in the stomach ... It's horrible! I see everyone there, I see Kirron who is scratched and scarred around the neck, Emily is marked in the left thigh, Jack is marked on his left arm, Helen is marked in the chest and Rochelle on his right forearm
- Ouch ... it hurts so much! Moans Jack scratching his mark on his left arm, the girl shrugs as she approaches the children
- What are you planning to do there? My children are not going to fight too! Damian growls away from his children
- I'm afraid that if ... They also have powers in their small bodies and I want to see them developed ... They can be useful!
- No way ! Do not touch my children! Damian shouts furiously as he holds his children against him.
The girl frowns and claps her fingers, Damian is invaded by a sharp pain that makes him moan with pain and squeezes his heart
- Do not resist me boy ... As long as you fight and win your fights, your children will not even have to fight! I want to avoid any betrayal so make me happy to shut up! She said firmly before grabbing Angel who trembles with fear, she scratches his little chest
- Mom ... it hurts, Mom! He cries, it was the same with Lucy crying in turn and Maria also
- Now you belong to me body and soul! And no need to scratch your skin or skin it, they are impossible to remove, only I can remove them from your skin, so if I were you I would be very obedient, and besides we let's start any further!
She cracks her fingers and we are a little afraid of what will follow, she advances before us then tells us the little castle in the distance
- The first territory we are going to explore is the golden castle, it is however inhabited by haunting dolls so I hope for you that you are not afraid of living dolls! Let's not waste our time ! She tells us by opening the march, this girl ... Her name now I know him, and by the aura that releases its marks on our skin, I know that it is very dangerous and that his power and his heart is hate, sadism, violence but also ... A deep void in his heart!
Feeling such things in me squeezes my heart!
We walk along the dark cliffs while holding the weapons she picked us up, I dare not say her name ... I took a small knife similar to a bayonet, Helen kept the dagger yokai , Kirron took the spear, Emily the razor-sharp sword a little rusty, Rochelle took the two ragged daggers, Jack took old metal glove a little broken and Damian took the biggest sword despite the blade being blunt and a little heavy for Damian. Fortunately, the children did not have any weapons, except for Maria, who cracked on a cute white fox mask, it is better not to give weapons to the children.
It would be unconscious!
A few steps I begin to see the greenery of a garden in good condition, I see the white lilies and red tulips then we enter the garden. A field of beauty comes to illuminate us, bushes cut to form the silhouettes of dolls and full of children's toys and then in front of us stands the big white castle decorated with gold, it is true that it has the a little less than a fairy tale castle but it gives off a strange aura, like in a paranormal place, she smiles at us pointing the castle with her arm
- Here is the golden castle, where your first test will take place! (a red glow shines in her brown eyes then she has a sadistic smile on her face) Ahhh ... Let's go now! She said happily while clutching her chest, I turn to Helen who seems to feel the same way, because her eyes sparkle with excitement.
Does not she feel any fear?
(Internal point of view: Helen)
A strange smell hangs over this little castle, it's the first time I smell something like that, there is a certain smell of scorched glass. The rain begins to fall and I hear something like someone running, I sigh and then I walk towards the door
- You're not cold in your eyes ... At the same time it does not impress me coming from someone giving off such an aura of madness ... (she smiles and still has that red glow in her eyes) It's so exciting! Her voice is filled with madness and sadism, I sketch a smile in my turn and our eyes both glow with a red glow, I just put my hand on his cheek and I whispered
- Then we are two! She sneers and then the door of the castle opens, the interior is a beautiful white and the walls are decorated with gold, the rooms inside are very large, large enough and silent to feel a deep anguish ...
I like it !
We arrive directly to the throne room with a throne surrounded by two large golden stairs leading to the floor of the castle without a king or queen, it is a deep sadness
- Hey! You saw the painting at the top! We point out Emily pointing at her, the painting is the face of a horrible clown, oh my god who have this tastes for horrible in painting ? Emily is shaking, Jack is ready to throw up, Damian is bad at it so easy to prevent her children from looking at her, and Kirron and Rochelle too, when Spandel and I found it absolutely frightful. As for her, she is amused by this painting
- Who would be against burning this horrible picture? I asked everyone, immediately all answered me "Not me! I immediately nodded and asked Damian to pass his lighter, he sent it to me and I sent it to Jack
- To you honor Jack, you are the painter! I told him, he was quick to drop the paint from the wall with a well placed punch.
I feel that his strength will improve and be beneficial for all of us. Jack is equal to Kirron in striking force, both could destroy the rocks of a mountain!
- Pfff ... You really are rude characters to dare to touch the affairs of others! Proclaims the voice of a little girl who challenges us all, we start to look around us
- Who is here ? Show you everything! Order Spandel looking for an energy that could tell us where the voice is coming from, suddenly I hear a quick sound rushing right to Spandel, immediately I push him and then see a red thread pass between us and go straight to '' She '' who catches it with her bare hands
- You have guts to come back here, The Infernal! I thought I would never see you again after what happened at our last meeting! Speak the voice, and it is then that a shadow appears before us, it takes the form of a little girl with a very long black hair dripping with red like the color of her eyes and her little dress
- Me neither I imagined not seeing you so quickly, you don't change over the years ... Lisa!
Lisa ...?
The panel of his statistics is displayed before our eyes: Lisa, 100/100 of PV, 2500/3000 of level and 70% of LM, level 50 and categorize in Difficult Boss! She is a boss? Does that mean we are going to fight it? It promises to be interesting ...
(Internal point of view: Damian)
This girl is a boss. I really feel like a video game, but the Infernal does not seem at all intimidated by this girl whose hair seems to be used as weapons
- Lisa darling ... Do you really want us to fight now? Unfortunately I do not have a minute to grant you because as you see I have lambs that I must take care of so be a nice girl ... (his tone becomes colder and more threatening) Let us go! His voice makes me cold in the back, never Pandore spoke in such a way and I like his implanted marks in my chest that tightens my skin, it is very unpleasant. Suddenly I feel Maria clutching my shirt a little frightened, just like Lucy who has clung to my leg, and Angel is hiding behind me, being a little intimidated.
Lisa raises her scarlet eyes on the Infernal who has a smile on her lips, Lisa's hair starts to lift up and then take a red hue like blood and her body cracks a few times, then we see her transforming before our eyes after that her level of LM is suddenly 100%, now her skin is gray, she wears a red diamond on the middle of the forehead, she is much larger and she now wears a black dress with black boots too
- I will not let you go! If you want to continue, you will have to pass on the body, it's my duty, and I have orders to kill you the Infernal or should I say ... Alizé, Goddess of Destruction, but also Demon of Madness!
We all have a deep shock in our hearts that start beating in the center of our chest ... Alizé? I've already heard that name somewhere ... And turning to Kirron, he has the same look of surprise like me, he thinks the same questions?
I see Alizé smiling as she draws her black sword, her eyes become icy then she takes a deep breath
- What a pity to get there, and me who wanted to leave you alive ... Now I'll have to eliminate you! Prepare to die, Lisa! She declares, pointing at her sword, the two fighters confront each other with their eyes before getting into each other, as soon as a barrier stands in front of us and surrounds Alizé and Lisa
- What is that ? Why was this barrier formed? I said hitting on it, nothing to do it does not disappear and gives me small electrical charges that hurt, I lose 5 life, I am now 75/100 PV
- Do not approach this barrier! You can try everything, it will never break until the fight is over, you will lose your life unnecessarily by playing the heads of mules, just stay quiet, my little weak! Scream Alizé to us dodging the attacks of Lisa's hair.
She dodges with ease and takes a lot of fun fighting, she sneaks between Lisa's hair that is actually bloody whip and then comes to her brandishing her sword, Lisa jumps and manages to dodge the sword of Alizé with a bound back, if she had not dodged, she would have lost one of her limbs. Alizé in a ditch
- Well, Lisa, what's the problem? What are you waiting for? Attack me again! Attack me again and again! Cree Alizé excitedly, I had the impression to see the excitement and fury of Kyoya Tategami in her but a hundredfold, because her eyes shine red scarlet again, as Pandore was the period when she was controlled by Helen.
Lisa is under intense stress and does not know what to do, she can attack, Alizé dodge and become more violent when she does not even increase her level and in an incredible violence she cuts the hair of Lisa, pops up in front of her that is defenseless with her hair cut off and is about to be sliced ...
A strange feeling has arisen in me!
In an incredible speed, I put my children in the arms of Helen and Spandel and my eye began to shine when I hit the barrier, a light springs from my body and I crossed the barrier
- Damian ! Call me my friends as I intervene between Alizé and Lisa, the sword of Alizé suddenly stops a centimeter from my throat, a huge stress overwhelmed me, I really believed that I would be beheaded on the spot, Alizé raises the eyebrows of surprise while behind Lisa is in shock, we see all are level of madness to go down to 70%, her face is beaded of sweat and she falls sitting on the ground, when to my friends .. They are all in shock! Alizé sketches a half smile then slowly moves his sword from my throat, gently my stress goes down but my chest is tight because of the marks.
I dare say nothing for fear of retaliation, but it does not do anything to me, even he ignores me passing by me
- Okay ... We stop here for today and I guess you do not mind that ... Is not it Lisa? Alizé declares, looking coldly Lisa, she wipes the sweat on his face and then stands up in front of us, she does not answer then we start to leave, following the steps of Alizé through the castle, I do not even know why we are here, are we looking for something?
We go up one of the stairs to go upstairs then it is then that the voice of Lisa challenges us
- Wait ! We stop and then we all return to her, she stares at me, as if her irises shone with a glimmer of hope
- So ... you're not dead ... You're back, Your Majesty! Is not it true? That orange eye, and the courage you have shown to save me ... It's you ...
- You're wrong Lisa! Intervene Alizé by gently putting a hand on my neck, I am surprised to hear such words, she called me Your Majesty? I see Lisa who is surprised
- But ... it is not impossible, he revives from his offspring! Hope is not lost after all! Alizé said, looking into mine.
I can not detach myself from his eyes!
Lisa looked down and decided to disappear from the castle, it's strange ... I have the impression to know it, would that be the reason why I interposed in the battle? I do not understand anything anymore ... Suddenly, holding Lucy and Maria's hand in my arms, I have the impression that I miss something ...
- Angel? I called him, no answers, I look around and see nowhere, the same for others
- But where is he ? Helen, you had it just now, where is he? I say starting to panic
- I know but he was there two minutes ago, I did not see him leave ... (she notices that someone else is missing in our group) Spandel ? Damn, but where did he go, too? Said Helen before making a grunt and calling on three butterflies.
- Find them immediately! She ordered before letting her butterflies fly away.
I hear Alizé sneer at our panic, I squeeze my angry teeth and then catch him by his arm
- Where is my son? If you know it, speak! I ask her seriously, her smile does not disappear from her lips, she comes to caress my heart
- You know it too, and even more than me ... (she slaps me) Listen so your idiotic soul! Do you answer me before disappearing in turn, I dream where she already abandon us? I try to find my calm while others look around the castle ... We are separated!
I try to concentrate, a deep heat in me arises and my eye shines, I open it and then start to see blurry images, I see the battle between Alizé and Lisa and when I left to interpose, Angel was attracted by the shadow of someone a little further, and curious as he is, he could not help but follow her, he is upstairs at the top of the castle! The vision stops and I hasten to run upstairs to find my son ...
I will not stand to lose another member of my family!
(No point of view)
In a beautiful land under the yoke of twilight shadows, its skin-colored population of shadows with orange or golden hair like twilight and sometimes pink, are all on the ground in front of a very large black palace where circulate many symbols of the twilight that are an eye surrounded by twilit lines created by the setting sun of itself. Sometimes some of the inhabitants scream in pain with the evil aura surrounding them, but these complaints are inaudible to the one lurking in the palace, holding in his hands a crystal ball where images of Damian parade. We can hear him snort
- Here you are finally ... I finally see you again ... "jubilations and laughter" It was so long ... My dream is accessible again ... (pearls of sweat flow on the crystal ball) Damian .. My adorable and dear Damian ... Hurry up ... Keep running to me ...
- The impatience to kill you itches me too much !
