As Jaune continued to fight against his restraints Jerome made his way down the stairs towards him, at the sight of this many people from Vludania tried to get up and either stop him or kill him however they all found themselves bound to their chairs by shadow tendrils.
When Jerome reached Jaune he simply looked him directly in the eyes with Jaune still trying to reach him "Come on you bastard come a bit closer I wanna see how much of you throat I can rip out in a single bite!!" Jaune roared in seemingly madened rage as pushed his head forward whilst gnashing his teeth together trying to bite him.
Nearly everybody from the four kingdoms were stunned by the shear level of hatred that Jaune showed his grandfather, none more so than those of Beacon who were shocked that their weakest students had so much anger within him and Salem who found Jaunes rage and trasformation very intriguing.
Jerome simply looked at him in disgust "It truly sickens that I share a single drop of blood with an abomination like you" he seethed as his he looks into Jaunes eyes with burning hatred. "Just look at you, a monstrosity that should be culled. The fact that your father willing allowed you to become this was justification enough for me to kill him, your idiotic sisters and your whore mother".
At this nearly everyone from Vludania wanted to rip the man apart, none more so than Markus, Jack and Alexander who had tendrils covering their entire bodies to restrain them and Jaunes team who were holding Demitri down to stop him and control his own fury, Eliza however comforted Joan by stroaking her hair and whispering sweet nothings to her as she cried at Jeromes words and Jaunes rage.
When Jerome was finished talking he emphasized his point by back-handing Jaune across the face who had went silent with his body going limp and his eyes dimmed.
For a mere second before he turned back to look Jerome in the eyes as he stood up straight and the tendrils released him, at this many from Jeromes section worried that Shad was allowing Jaune to kill him, however Jaune simply let out a hollow chuckled at his vampire form reseeded.
As soon as Jaune locked eyes with Jerome he smirked and simply said with a slight chuckle "I was about to make a big mistake".
Jaune then put his hands in his pockets before slowly pacing infront of Jerome and watched him in a way reminiscent of predator observing their prey.
He then stopped when he was directly infront of all of the people from Jeromes section "Such nice white and pale clothing you all wear, I look forward to dyeing them all red with your blood" he spoke in a manner that made clear that what he said was not a threat but a declaration of what he was going to do.
Many people were stunned by what he was saying, while others were ready to fight him "I have no doubt that many of you are wondering why I'm still not trying to kill the old fuck again-" Jerome mearly scowled at how Jaune referred to him "-that is because of a promise that I made" he said as his tone became slightly more happy.
"As I'm sure many of you know we Arcs always keep our word and gave I my word to do something along time ago-" as he continued to speak some became uneasy as they knew how serious the Arc family were about keeping their word, "-,now let it be know that I do not make threats I only make promises and by that I mean that I give my word when I say that I will kill someone".
At this hundreds of people hearts sank as they realized that it was not the threats of a child when he said that he would kill them, it was a promise from him and as such his word and many of them knew that Arcs rarely ever break their word.
"Now apart of me wants to tell, you the promise I made-" Salem could feel the fear and anxiety radiating off of the people from Jeromes section as they waited to learn the promise he made as it could spell great trouble for them "-however I have no doubt that our host will show it soon or later, as he said we're here to watch my life right, so just sit tight and wait for a bit".
As Jaune made his way back to his seat at a relaxed pace Jerome sent him one last scathing look before turning around.
Though as he did this he came face to eye-face with Shad who had materialized behind him, he didn't show any shock from this despite feeling so, Shad the began to speak to him "I gave clear instruction that violence will only be allowed here with my permission" his voice hissed through the minds of everyone.
Shad then raised his long hand and placed a single elongated on Jeromes chest, as soon as he touched him Jeromes entire body tensed up with veins all over his body turning black and bulging out.
"What you're feeling right now is what it's like to have your skin flayed off and submerged in lemon juice" this statement coupled with the hissing voice in their heads caused people's skin to crawl as they subconsciously imagined what such a thing would feel like, however from looking at Jerome it was clearly excruciating.
Shad then released Jerome who fell to his knees panting as he turned to address everyone "Now I'm sure many of you are wondering why we're watching the events of the past, that is because I felt that you would want to witness the actions of heroes that none of you have never heard of".
Shads eye them began to emit intense crimson light that made even Salem tense in fear "Now you are all going to sit and continue watching what I show, so be good little mortal and do as you're told" Shad growled into their minds.
At the 'mortals' comment Salem smirked coldly as she thought of Shad as nothing but a fool and as someone she would eliminate soon enough.
As Shad heard her thoughts he vanished and then reappeared in front of Salem "I'm sorry but did the little goddess wannabe just think of me as a fool, big talk from someone who got all of her powers from fuck ups and accidents" he said to her with no hidden amusement, at this Tyrian shot up "You dare to mock the true goddess!!!" he screamed at Shad with a mad glint in his eyes.
Shad simply Chuckled at this before tendrils appeared and restraint Salem and all of her lackeys, he then got right in front of Salem and placed a finger on her forehead "So you're a true goddess huh, well lets see what they think when they see the true you" as soon as he said this Salems body suddenly erupted in a flash of dark purple and shining gold, causing everyone to turn their heads and shield their eyes.
When the burst of energy was seemingly sucked into one spot and people began to turn back they all gasped in shock and their jaws hung open, none more so than Ozpin and his circle.
Salems followers looked at her in even more shock, with Tyrian looking as if his whole world has been obliterated, Cinder was the first to speak as she managed to croak out "M-my lady".
When Salem turned to her, pushing away the feeling she had of a weight being lifted off of her shoulders, she saw yellow in the corner of her eyes.
When she reached for it and found it to be pale blond hair, as she held it she saw he hand and saw that the invory white skin she had grown accustomed to had become had become simply pale caucasian with none of the black veins either.
She then put her hand in her forehead, as Shad had removed his finger, where she found that her forehead gem had gone as well.
After prosesing as much of this as possible she looked at Shad the being that had remove to powers of a god from her body with a mere touch and for the first time in cernturies she felt fear.
As she looked up at Shad she spoke with slight tremble "Wh-what have you done to me", all of Ozpins circle were stunned to see the grimm queen trembling, none more so than Ozpin himself though as he was seeing the true face of the women he loved for the first time in so long.
"It's quite simple what I did I consumed both the power of destruction that you acquired from the grimm pools and the immortality that the brother cursed you with, meaning that you are just a mortal human now" Salem sat there in silence with wide eyes as the being before her anounced that he took not just one but power of the powers of the gods that she had within her body.
After this Shad seemingly glided across the floor leaving Salem and her group to process what he had just done to the supposedly strongest being in the world as well as Ozpins group who felt confused as all of their hard work was made pointless by Shad.
As Shad made his way back to his spot underneath the viewing screen he made a link to only Jaune "I have seen your life Jaune Arc and I know why you wish him dead so much, however I also know for a fact that you wouldn't want your little peanut to see you act like that".
Jaunes eyes widened as he realized that Joan had seen him act like that, when he looked at her he felt his heart begin to break when he saw tears welling in her eyes.
When he got to where she was sitting he got on his knees in front of Eliza who was holding a teary Joan on her lap as she gave Jaune an unamused and irritated looked for his behavior, he then looked at his team who all avoided eye contact along with the adults and everyone else, basically telling him they weren't going to he him unscrew himself.
"Peanut-" Jaune felt truly hurt when she buried her face into Eliza's chest instead of looking at him "-I'm sorry for scaring you". Joan then turned to look at him "I am so sorry that you had to see me acting like a monster sweetheart, I swore that you would never have to see me like that and I broke that promise I'm sor-" before he finished Joan jumped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck as she hugged him.
"You're not a monster daddy!" she exclaim as she sobbed, Jaune then embraced her as she continued to weep "I'm sorry I made you think I hate you" she said as she hugged his neck tighter.
"Shh shh, it's okay peanut just know daddy loves you and everything's okay" Jaune whispered as he got to his feet whilst stroking her hair.
He then sat back down and placed on his lap with a smile on his face, Eliza then rested her head on his shoulder "You know I'm still a bit mad that you made our little angel cry so I will be expecting you to make it up to me soon enough" she said to him in a coy tone as Jaune laughed hesitantly as he know she would be expecting quite a bit from him.
Shad simply chuckled at Jaune predicament whilst glad the little one was fine now "Well then since we're all sorted let's carry on" he said to them as the screen began playing the past again.
