Chapter 6 ladies and gentlemen. We're a long way from Texas. Sweet Soy Sauce
"Had a fun night?" Raynare asked with a sly grin. "After proclaiming that your dick is so good, I certainly didn't hear any yells of pleasure."
"She told us." Sona said while looking at a bare chested Atlas and Tsubaki who had wild hair, a satisfied grin and was wearing his shirt. "Glad her wound is healed."
"I forgot about that." Raynare widened her eyes upon seeing the scar on Tsubaki's foot and the same scars all over Atlas body. "Someone so kinky he stabbed himself?" She asked while looking at her 'twin'.
"Oh that? Nah, I am the only one who is capable of healing Cerberus bites because I had so much of his poison in my body that even after burning it, most of it stayed and started to fuze with my magic." Atlas explained while pouring himself some cornflakes into a bowl.
"Wait, you have been bitten by Cerberus before?" Genshirou asked curiously while the others looked at Atlas.
"That explains why the traps worked effectively, they are aimed at devils. Is there someone inside the gravel?" Momo asked.
"Momo, you had the luck to almost meet my older brother that my parents sacrificed for the security of this house. The barbed wire was tested on my younger sister who died the same day. I had to get the teeth of Cerberus. My two oldest brothers, the actual twins of this family are also dead. One got the arrows and the other was somewhere in the backyard sixty meters under the grass in the stomach of the thing that had Sona yesterday. Welcome at house Paimon." He said before drinking the tea on the table.
"What a nice family." Ruruko replied with a mortified face.
"What about the poison that paralyzed me and the gas that knocked out Ruruko or the gravity that pulled Tomoe down?" Genshirou asked while looking around, seeing everyone getting more curious.
"Rape drugs invented by my older brother who used them on prisoners during the last war and a barrier to protect the house... Whatever, I can't remember it's name. Mom, made sure to make these traps as deadly and painful as possible. You might have noticed it but these traps are punishment for us kids. My older brother was a rapist, the twins were both in love with two women of other races we fought a war against, my sister was a psychopath killer and I was too intelligent for my own good. I mean, the first aid packs were my invention based on the ways my siblings died." Atlas explained as casually as he could. The others just stared shocked at him while he smiled.
"You sure aren't the insane one?" Momo asked sarcastically.
"why should I be? I have a controllable amount of blood lust, a healthy sense for reproduction and I am intelligent." He answered. "Can we change to a topic where I don't have to talk about my family now?" He finally asked with a serious tone while the others apologized.
"So what are we going to do here?" Tsubasa asked, giving the attention to Sona.
"Training. This town is filled with magical beings. I mean, everyone saw us almost dying and no one helped us. They knew that it was normal. This is a refugee city. There are sure training grounds here." She finished while they ate their breakfast.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Tsubaki asked Atlas as he broke the lock to the door that led to the basement.
"Trying not to die." He said as he walked down a few stairs with a small light in his hand. "Stay behind me and don't touch anything. My father's most praised things are down here, I would be surprised if he doesn't have any traps down there."
He dropped the small ball of light and let it roll down the stairs only for it to be impaled by more teeth, shot by arrows, burned by a flamethrower, stabbed by needles and cut by swords before a magic spell finally ended the ball's pain.
"Phew. Almost went down myself." He took a heavier ball and rolled it down only to see it being cut in half by a swinging Axe.
"How many traps are there?" Tomoe asked angrily.
"One last trap." Atlas said calmly before throwing down a burning matchstick. While everyone was distracted he ran down with glowing eyes.
A massive wooden trunk squished him against the wall.
The light turned on while the girls and Genshirou stared traumatized at the blood dripping down from the wood trunk while several blood shots hit their faces and clothes. "Can we go down now?" Atlas asked with a missing arm and a small flask in the form of a jewel in his hand. "If it's not in your hands, then it's lost." He said to Raynare who immediately checked her pockets before seeing his arm regrow in flames.
"That was mine!" She yelled at him.
The two boys slowly stepped down and pushed the wood trunk out of the way so the girls could pass.
Downstairs Tomoe was about to touch the floor before feeling two strong hands on her breasts pulling her back.
She felt her nose brushing a blade of a sword that was shot directly at her head. She only heard the panicking heartbeat of Atlas through her back while his hands grabbed her breasts as hard as possible. "Sorry." He exclaimed, releasing the grip immediately.
"It's alright." The girl answered only for a few strains of hair to fall down. Her eyes stayed wide open while Atlas walked ahead. "Dad's personal traps. Wait here, this might end up badly if you aren't from my house." Everyone looked at Raynare who just shook her head.
"I am not related to him!" She yelled immediately.
Atlas just looked around and gazed through the most valuable treasures. His instincts tried to take over with every gold bar that he saw. His eyes flickered around, jumping from treasure to treasure. "It's impossible." He exhaled in pain. "My instincts are trying to steal the treasures around here, but I know that these are traps." He said before thinking a bit.
"Maybe you need to concentrate better. Or a direct light at the thing you need." Momo proclaimed while the others agreed.
"No, my eyes saw what they want and even if I turn blind now, they still know where everything was and how much worth it was." Atlas explained while taking a step forward. He noticed that there weren't any traps left. "This fucking son of a motherfucking donkey dick sucking monkey whore!" He shouted while Sona covered Ruroko's ears. Raynare just smirked while walking up to him.
"Someone is losing his calm." She said before Tsubaki shoved her back.
"Stop flirting with my man! He already wants a physical relationship with you, I don't need him to have emotions for you!" She yelled at the former fallen angel.
"Your man! I liked him before you even knew his name!" Tsubasa yelled at Tsubaki.
"He wanted my Virginity you cheap bitches!" Momo yelled at all three of them.
"But I was the first of us who he actually kissed, he even marked me as his!" Raynare yelled back.
"He just saved my life and squeezed my breasts! Has he done that to you?!" Tomoe yelled at Tsubaki and Raynare.
"He gave me his own and last Phenex tear. I think you don't understand how important I am to him!" Reya joined in claiming her spot in the hierarchy.
Altas just turned around and looked at a normal Sona, Genshirou and Ruruko. Genshirou had a weird smile while holding his hand behind his back. "You pressed the button on the wall?" Atlas asked only to see Genshirou nod. "Fuck me, now we have to find out what they have to cure it. Good riddance."
Atlas randomly pulled out a girl from the fight and looked Tsubasa deeply in the eyes. "Purple eyes, widened pupils, stronger lungs." He shoved his finger into her mouth and licked it. "Disgusting saliva taste. Either it's a love potion that my older brother created to get an alibi for his rape or its syphilis."
He looked at Sona and the two pawns but got no reactions. "It's a love potion. And it's easy to break. It's not like the movie shit where they stop loving you after you do three backflips, dance your name and that during a full moon."
"What movies are you watching?" Ruruko asked with a raised eyebrow.
Atlas just sighed and looked at the girls. "Hey!" They all shut up and looked at him. "You want me? Whoever drinks a glass of water more sexy, gets me."
"Easy." All of them said in union before running upstairs followed by Atlas, who just stopped at the bottom of the stairs and turned around again.
Soon one after another came downstairs again only to look around with narrowed eyes.
The purple light in their eyes was gone while they all looked weird at him. "Did I just fight for your love?" Reya asked.
"You all did, kinda. The potion enhanced feeling you have for me. Be it hate, love, disgust, fear and whatever. It enhanced it and turned them into obsession. You didn't fight for my love..."
"You fought over the fact 'who is more obsessed with him'. Reynare had some good points." Ruroko joked while Atlas nodded.
He gave the youngest member a high five before walking upstairs again. "I need to find a way to solve this puzzle of my dad without dying. Let's go."
Outside of town near a few fields were training grounds especially made for devils.
While Sona and her peerage trained there, Atlas kept sitting on the ground while trying to solve the puzzle his father left him.
"Sweet lord, please have mercy
Baby Jesus, please save us
I know I used up my three favors
Back to sinning, like a week later." He sang while looking up in the sky and following the clouds with his eyes.
"So, any plans with how you will solve the puzzle your father left?" Sona asked, getting Atlas out of his vibe.
"Yeah...no, I just have no idea." The boy shook his head and huffed.
"So you and Tsubaki are a couple now?" She asked while Atlas looked up.
"Nope." He just said while Sona looked stunned.
"But I thought she likes you, and you both had sex, and you like her. Why not?" She stumbled out while Atlas laughed.
"I do like her, that's true. I think she liked what we did last night too. But we didn't have sex. You know what a pain it is to move around with Cerberus energy in your body? I laid her down on top of me, turned on the TV and we watched a movie while making out." Sona smiled a bit while Atlas grinned. "Sometimes I fingered her."
Sona's face dropped while she looked down at him. "Some facts you should keep to yourself."
"I don't feel any love for anyone. What I feel for Tsubaki is friendship with extra steps. I don't think she feels like that. I believe that she feels more for me, but hides it and tries to keep the relationship we now have as a secret." He just smiled and stood up. "Whatever, as long as she ends up in my bed, I don't care."
"Charming. No wonder you get girls but no relationships." Sona remarked sarcastically. "So what are you going to do now? I mean the basement problem, not with Tsubaki."
"Searching for ways not to die trying to outsmart my dad." He joked while Sona just looked confused at him. "I just want the secret to steal everything and I don't want to be the one to die trying to find it out."
"I am sure you will find a way. If you fail, just keep something close to you that you will use to teleport back to Raynare's tight. Did it have to be her tight?" Sona asked while looking curiously at him.
"Nope, I actually wanted it to be a bit higher, but she wore boxershorts." He chuckled before Sona stood up again.
"I am sure you will find a way." She said before walking away leaving him alone to stare at the clouds.
