The Demon's Bride

Chapter 674: Loveliest Lady-I

With the war happening left and right, Leviathan only made his way straight between the army of the enemies. His golden eyes only looked straight ahead to where Redrick was standing at. When the few demons tried to attack him, without looking, Leviathan had grabbed the man by his head and crushed his skull into pieces. The demons around him shrieked and shivered. It was war what they had participated in but they had never seen so much power on one person.

"I… It's the prince!" Shouted one demon who finally recognize Leviathan by his unique golden eyes.

Leviathan's eyes slowly looked down to the demons who were shorter than him, "Don't bother me again," Leviathan's words were laced in authority that the demons cannot disobey as fear affected them warned the true difference of their power.

Throwing the body aside, Levi made his way forward again. This time, no one dared to attempt attacking him again as they knew the consequences would be death. Along the way, only seven people dared their luck, all ended their own life with made other demons to eventually gave up. Leviathan stopped his steps when the rest of the demons had ran to the castle, but they died in the end as there were others who protect the castle in his place.

Redrick hadn't moved a step either as if he was waiting for Leviathan as well. They're eyes looked at each other in silence as people around them had disappeared.

The one who spoke was Redrick, "What have you found out?"

"Many things. More than you can imagine. Why did you have to assist Apollyon to kill Adelaide?" Leviathan asked, his voice sounding calm but one would know the rage he had between his words.

"I had to. Your daughter would become a flaw to Apollyon's plan and I have no choice," Redrick replied, his expression was calm as if he knew this would happened.

Leviathan circulate his breathing as if it would help him to organize his anger as well. "You have choice, Camael. But your choice was to follow Apollyon as a loyal dog, disregarding the lives of others around you to you own convenience. When have you been expecting this? Was it from the day when my daughter was born?" Leviathan then shook his head, "The prophecy had been made hundred of years ago before her birth. If you have been planning since then, you must have known this since the time you blessed our marriage."

"I had to do this. Demons are a horrific being!" Redrick shouted, as if Leviathan's words had snapped him. "They could change the mind of my close friend who had been living his life honestly. All in one temptation, he had fallen to their poisonous words! Those snakes, why should I let them continue to exist in this world?"

"And as an angel what about the innocent lives you killed?" Leviathan raised his hand for a black blob of darkness to appear beside him. Form the darkness, an image begin to appear where inside were a mother and son who was fighting for their life as a large magical beast had approach them. "What had this two people done to you that you had to kill them? Look at their face, those desperation of wanting to live. Can't you hear their screaming, Camael?"

Redrick's eyes were nailed at the image of the mother and son, hugging each other as they knew it was the end of their life. They had given up on screaming or pleading for help as they knew it was too late for anyone to save them. Their despair on their face was clear to the point where it was horrific for one to watch them. As if it wasn't enough, sound of screaming around them was filled with terrible pain and plead to God was heart wrenching.

Camael shut his eyes and took the spear from his side to throw it toward the shadow, attempting to discard the proof of his own doing. But the shadow was made from fogs. Despite being pierced by the spear, it quickly fixed itself a second later as if nothing had happened.

"It's alright if they die!" Redrick shouted like a mad man.

"It's airtight?" Leviathan repeated. He finally knew who Camael is once his mask had fallen, revealing his very ugly self inside of him where there was only hatred and greediness in him.

"We can simply bring them back to life," Redrick then uttered with a smile as if to convince Leviathan but more so to himself. "It won't be difficult. Apollyon had managed to bring back the life of demons but he also said he could bring to life of those who aren't demons. It wouldn't be impossible."

Leviathan who had stayed at Redrick had his smile completely wiped out from his face. He looked at Redrick in disbelief but at the same time understanding, understanding because he know understood how the angel had already broken and no word would be able to come through him.

"You can bring back people to life but that wouldn't heal the pain and trauma of the people you killed and the people who had lost their dear ones. Your mistake, Camael cannot be rectified and no matter how much you begged to be forgiven, no one would forgive you," Leviathan replied as he pulled one sword on his left hand.

Redrick's eyes narrowed, "You can escape death if only you stay in my way."

"Was that what you said to my wife? And did you think she would agree to you word?" Leviathan saw the shock on Redrick's eyes, who was surprised to know how Leviathan could tell about the words he had said to Adelaide before her death. "No mother would want to lose their child even at the cost of their own life. No husband would want to lose their wife either. If you think I fear death, you are wrong. I don't fear you nor death." Sparing no more words, Leviathan rushed forward. His fighting style had always been the wildest one in Hell. Once he arrived near Camael, he gave no time for the angel to protect himself as he grabbed the man by the back of his head before smashing him down to the ground.

Redrick had no time to waste as he felt the cold surface of the blade begin to slice his neck but before Leviathan could cut his neck, he had moved his spear which he had thrown earlier to put a wound on Leviathan's chest but he had missed and instead attack Leviathan's stomach. But the wound should be enough to disable Leviathan throughout the fight, thought Camael only to be proven wrong as Leviathan didn't budge his spot. He continue to hold the sword and said, "May God forget the existence of your soul." And with those words, Leviathan raised his sword to pierce through Camael's chest.
