Thanks for sending in reviews on my last chapter. It seems like some of you didn't like the idea of a character bio so I'm gonna take that in a remember it for next time. Ok. Now I have decided against a massive time skip cause I also hate them and yeah. Some of you were right in realising that I said he has a peerage and Shadow Wraiths are not part of the devil community, but all will be explained later.
Thanks for the support even if its bad.

Jason POV
It has been five months since the incident where I found out what I truly am and killed the 'crows'. Now I have been under constant training with Soul, about mind and body. Every day I have to run up and down the nearby volcano with weights on my feet. After that I train inside the volcano on a ledge. Apparently I need to get used to very hot temperatures due to some other being in my head called Nova.
Anyway, training consists of me scaling around the volcano inner walls, I even have to jump sometimes. Knife throwing, close hand combat and magic. Most people would say that this is just a normal training for someone who wants to be the best? But at the same time he's fucking with my head which makes it really hard to concentrate.
(Yo, Jason, I think it's time that we make a name for ourselves.) Soul buttered in in while I was climbing up the side of the volcano. 'Jeez Soul, you always choose the wrong times to talk to me!'
(Ok, do you want to continue training?)
'Fuck no, let's go, ha I could be a poet.'
(No you can't your shit)
'Well thanks for pointing it out, see anything I could eat nearby?' I thought curiously to myself hoping that I could return to my Shadow Wraith form. Even though I am one of the most hated creatures in existence, it can be good because it means lots of fun battles and new flavours to try! But Soul said that even though I enjoy being it now I will grow to hate it. Apparently, he can see the future in my mind so I need to be careful. But hey, who doesn't want to be one of the deadliest beings in existence?
(Nope)
'Aw, fuck, I was hoping to scare the living day lights out of people.'
(Anyway, now is a good chance to start practising some of my divine powers. Such as Shadow Warp.)
'Sure, so…imagine where I want to be…I can see it in my head…open my eyes, and I'm there?'
(Dude, you warped to the location but about three thousand metres above it. Just to let you know you might go splat.)
"Fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk" I screamed as I fell this massive distance hoping for some miracle to happen that would save me like last time. Yeah, I'm gonna go splat.
[Imagine flying,]
'What the fuck who are you'
[Imagine shooting the most powerful thing in existence out of your hands towards the ground]
'um excuse me, who are you? And what ok' I thought and then realising that I was still falling. Again that's twice in a row but what the heck. I put my hands below me as the clouds started clearing and a building could be seen below me. It was approaching really fast and wasn't slowing down. I started to imagine shooting a sun out of hands which would be amazing, but what actually happened was just as good.
On my hands two golden gauntlets appeared and started glowing. 'What the fuck?' As they glowed yellow energy started spraying out of the gauntlets slowing my fall. 'Ha it actually worked' As I slowed I started to move towards the roof of the building.
The building was as big as a mansion, there were guards on every balcony with bat wings sticking out. Behind me an army of other 'man-bats'. HA, came marching up the hill. I had just stumbled into a war. I slowly approached the roof and dropped onto the top of it creating little to no sound.
'Alright voice in my head I need to talk to Soul, Soul you there warp my stuff to me'
(Sure and I see you met Nova) He replied while a cloak appeared on me with a hood and light battle gear. I had knives along my belt that could be used for throwing or close combat. I was completely dark except for two glowing objects on my hands.
'How the hell do I send these away?'
[Imagine them disappearing]
'oh…thanks.' While making the gauntlets disappear, so the female voice is Nova. The more you know, now let's get this assassination sorted. My job was to kill the only son of the Cerberus devil clan. He was known as a traitor to his clan but the rest of his family refused to kill him so they left the old mouh faction.
I crept to one edge to see a guard below me firing magic at the approaching army. I jumped down and slid a knife into his throat causing blood to pour out and him to turn around. I immediately used this opportunity to bite into his neck and rip out a chunk of flesh and blood. He fell to the ground with a loud THUMP. Causing nearby guards to come in my direction. I started feeling my body change as I shifted to my Shadow Wraith form. I felt lighter and stronger immediately.
I ran through the door to see two devils approaching me slowly with terrified looks on their faces. They were going to die and they knew it. I ran at them throwing the already bloodied knife at one's gut causing him to screech in pain. The other one charged at me with a one handed axe. I kicked my leg out breaking his lower leg bones. I then grabbed his head and twisted hearing cracks. Still I wasn't satisfied, before smashing his head into knee causing the once normal face to look worse than mine. Again I took the chance to feast on his head, the bone quickly broke allowing his brain to slowly start slipping out of his head.
It came out in long thin strips staining the floor with a brown liquid and brains. I quickly moved inside his head slurping up the left over brains. They had a unique flavour that is hard to describe. It was like sloppy pig and cow liver mixed together. I let go at the mutilated devil to turn to the other devil. My face had blood all over it dripping down and my one of my massive sabre teeth still had remains of the brains on it.
The other guard looked at me and ten ran out of the room throwing himself of the balcony into the main living area to go splat onto the floor. I slowly walked over to the edge looking down at the Cerberus family watching me on sheer terror. I pulled down my hood to reveal a face with blood staining it and four massive sabre teeth. The current head of the family gasped in shock and started shouting at the guards to kill me.
I turned and started walking towards the stairs. A four guards were running up the stairs at me. I lifted up my hands and shot shadows out of them causing them to get ravaged by the shadows that were cutting them up. Screams could be heard throughout the building as the four of them dropped down. One was watching his own stomach pour out of his gut. The screams continued as their faces turned white as all the blood drained out of them. I just casually walked passed the bloodied up corpses as their remains slushed under my foot. The stairs now head body parts all across the them painting them in blood, flesh and bone.
The family in the middle of the room were looking at me as if I was the deadliest creature in the world.
"Hello Cerberus, my name is Jason Shadowbone but you may call me Soul. I am here to kill you" I said to them only to watch their faces drain as they got in defensive positons. "We already know this doesn't work so just come forward and I will kill you quickly" I gave them the option of surrendering knowing they wouldn't accept.
"NEVER, in the name of Cerberus I will kill you!" Shouted the heir to the family as he charged at me causing the mother to scream out no. I lurched forward grabbing his neck and lifting him up as he wretched around trying to escape.
"This is what happens to those who think they can defeat me." I said to them in a dark tone causing the heir to wretch about even more. I smashed my sabre teeth into his stomach and started eating through him. His stomach and intestines stated dropping on to the floor as his screams continued and tears were sent everywhere. I was half way through him when I could see his rapidly pumping heart. It was then when I had my idea. I reached in with my spare hand grabbed his heart and pulled it out in one swift movement causing the heir to slump his head down. I dropped him still holding the heart. He slumped onto the floor dead due to what I had done to him.
Still holding the heart, I inspected it before turning back to the parents to see the grief and anger as well as horror mixed into their faces. The door burst open allowing Rizevim Lucifer to march forward before stopping see me. His face suddenly dropped see the heir dead on the floor and me holding his heart.
"Hello Rizevim, the job is done." I said to him as if nothing happened and threw the heart at him making him dropped his weapons and catching the heart, only to look back at me to say
"Who are you?"
"My name is Jason Shadowbone but you can call me Soul. I am a Shadow Wraith." I replied watching as his face lost all colour along with most of the army behind him. I turned and started walking away from Rizevim. "Soul, create a portal to camp"
(Yes Jason. And know this you puny devils, be happy my host decided against killing you all.) Soul said as a black portal appeared out of thin air. As I walked through it without turning back, only to disappear in front of them all along with the portal.
When I arrived at the camp I shifted back into my human form and took off my equipment before heading down to the nearby river to wash of the blood and guts. 'So Nova is it? Introduce yourself and did you like my little show?'
[Well my name is Nova and I have control over nova's and supernova's and I have to saw your 'little performance' was terrifying as well as amazing, as to seeing how far you have grown.]
'Why thank you Nova, anyway did you see the looks on their faces as I ate their son alive, oh god, it was amazing!' I thought while laughing hysterically. Causing Soul to join in while Nova just stayed quite. I suppose she will be the opposite of Soul, but oh well.
I got into the river and started washing myself clean.
Inside Jason's head
[Soul, when are you going to tell him about the consequences of what will happen if he continues this?]
(I wasn't going to Nova, I thought it would be best to have him find out on his own.)
[You and I both know that is the wrong way to go about this. If we don't do something it will only get worse.]
(But, he's enjoying himself so much.)
[I know but we must also think of his safety. If we don't it will only lead to more sorrow and death than either of us want]
(You make a good point but I don't know how to brake to him)
[We will tell him soon but we must wait until he is at the point where he is strong enough to take it in mind and soul. Ok?]
(Fine, Nova, at least your giving me some time to have some fun with murder)
[Ok, but don't send him to places constantly, it will only make things worse]
(Fine 'mum', now leave me alone.)
[Shut up you over sized piece of snackle shit.] -snackle, it is whatever you want it to be as long as its small and disgusting-
Rizevim POV
I was walking up what was left of the Cerberus family only to see them beg for us to kill them due to the horrors that they have seen. I have never seen in my life something as bad as that. If we are going to win this war we are going to need to use this 'soul' to our advantage, without making him turn against us.
"What happened here?" I asked the Cerberus family only to see the father to summon Cerberus. I jerked backwards thinking it would attack me, only to be shocked by it eating the parents. This guy is something that needs to be put down. He can be used for a bit but then killed for our safety.
I turned and looked over to the stairs to see mashed up bodies spread around the floor. I nearly threw up; this is something no being should ever see. I continued up the stairs and into the open door opposite the stairs. I cautiously approached the door and pushed it open. Revealing a body on the ground with its head empty as if eaten open. Brains were scattered across the floor and an eye ball was missing.
'This is the loving proof that something exists that could be a challenge to the four current mouhs. I continued to the balcony to see the guard half hanging over the balcony with his head just hanging on to the main body by a string of skin.
I turned and climbed on to the roof to see scorch marks on the top. 'I wonder did our little assassin get here by flying? Does he have control over the elements?' I walked up to them before touching them. Suddenly I felt a sharp amount of pain. As my finger caught fire. 'So he uses something that stays hot for a long period of time'
So what do you think to the second chapter. If it is too short then tell me as I will just make to next chapters longer. Thanks for criticizing my work as it tells me how I should improve. This chapter gives out a bit more information about Jason and allows more questions to be asked. I will try and get the next chapter out as fast as possible. I will keep the introductions back a few chapters as these chapters will show parts of his past and how he got his pieces.
Thanks for helping me.
