Chapter 193: Who am I?
Chapter 193: Who am I?
The Maggot Lord patiently watched Hecate and Rael share their first kiss. His eyes blazed vermillion and his smile curled further. His maggot made face and body, wriggled and wriggled constructing a creepy scene to look at.
A few minutes later, when the two were done with their fluffy session. Johgruh glanced nonchalantly at Rael and spoke casually.
"You know, you remind me of a certain individual. A disgustingly great man, dead too soon."
Rael shot a glance at Johgrub and smiled without any underlying emotion. He gently rubbed Hecate's lips as a gesture of affection before properly looking at the Maggot Lord.
Alizejh walked behind the silver-haired man and slowly tied his hair into a man bun, all the while as Rael stared at the maggot lord, his violet amethyst noble eyes twinkling like stars.
"Really? I am curious who can remind you of someone like me."
Johgrub took a deep breath as a he released a small creepy laugher,
"He was beautiful. Every movement he did was filled to the brink with elegance. In my entire life, I have seen few people who could exclude that much of grace. The All-Emperor was one of them. The man had a mane of pure silver hair and I believe the same mesmerizing violet eyes that you possess."
Johgrub's eye slowly locked onto Rael, staring at his face.
"You know, maybe you could be his descendant. He was rather debaucherous after all. His tales of lust were well known in almost every realm."
Rael closed his eyes, sinking into a deep spell of nostalgia. His mouth opened slightly only to close again. His mood had become rather melancholic as he thought of the past.
"Irakiel El Navah. Maybe that's who you are thinking of."
Johgrub's eyes widened as he looked at the silver-haired man in front of him. He laughed disgustingly as he nodded in his own amusement.
"Ahhhh~! I haven't heard that vile name in ages.... as I thought, you know of him. There is no way you are not his descendant. One of your great-grandmas probably gave birth to a bastard."
Hearing Johgrub, Rael began to laugh loudly. It was very hilarious to hear the Maggot Lord speak. He mused inwardly filled with amusement.
'Might as well be my own descendant than anyone else's.'
For some reason, Rael felt that his Dao of Guessing and Dao of Foreshadowing was tingling.
Revealing a sharp smile, Rael prodded the maggot lord to continue.
"-And why may I ask? Do you think the Fairy King was vile?"
Johgrub raised an eyebrow, and looking into the distance he spoke softly.
"Well you see, the Blood Devil was my disciple and the silver-haired idiot led a conquest with his band of idiot friends to wipe out my disciple's progeny."
Wiping his tears of laughter, Rael gestured for Alizejh to stop caressing his hair and kissing his neck.
"So is he awake yet?"
The Maggot Lord raised an eyebrow as he spoke.
"So you know about him too. Yes, long ago. He has already killed most of your ancestor's friends who took part in the vampire hunting and everyone else. He was disappointed to hear that Irakiel lost his life to his own statue but then again, it was an ending well deserved for that narcissistic fool."
Rael looked into the distance, any hint of a smile slowly vanished and all that was left was a stoic visage. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Johgrub.
"I am him."
Johgrub looked confused, he tilted his head to the other side as he asked.
"Who?"
Rael almost face palmed and spoke sarcastically.
"Him nuts in ya mouth."
Johgrub was astounded for a second and before he could react, a ghastly black aura covered Rael. For a second, Rael's skeleton became transparent through his body.
Waves of sheer suppressed power escaped his body, the Maggot Lord felt a hint of horror as the energy washed over him.
Johgruh whispered under his breath, his body quivered as thousands of maggots that formed his body were instantly killed only to constantly give birth to newer offsprings only for them to die again.
"Pure Death Energy.... who... who are you?"
Irakiel smirked, and he extended his arms. In the darkness, his violet amethyst noble eyes glowed, and from under the ground, cracks began to form and from his shadows, a few mystical beings crept out.
"I go by many titles."
He pointed at Johgrub, and the entire world turned white as if light had finally pierced the world with it's divine presence.
In Rael's right hand was a pen-turned-sword. One of the three imperial regalia of the Shinto Pantheon, the Kusanagi, and in his left hand was a bracelet turned great shield, the Aegis.
"-But," he paused as two of Irakiel's Asuras stood side by side with him. These two were Derek and Edward. Behind them, corpses crawled out from the broken cracks in the ground, standing perfectly still and without any emotions but a blaze in their eyes that flowed with a wildness in them.
The number kept growing, from hundreds to thousands, from thousands to millions, and from millions to billions... and from billions to trillions and from trillions to gazillions.
Rael had just [Turn undead] every creature that had existed and died in the world from the moment of it's birth.
His undead army stretched to the farther the naked eye could see and back. The entire world was filled, completely.
Extending his arm, Rael stretched his finger to touch the air and pull it apart like a string of a guitar. A whisper escaped his mouth and it felt as if the world almost froze.
"Crisez-Vilzi."
A grand piano suddenly appeared in front of him, and the entire mood and tone of the world changed with the moment of her arrival.
Below Rael, his wives, and his two shadows, a huge beautiful ancient ship replaced the ground below and slowly lifted them all into the sky. This was none other than Nefertiti.
The silver-haired man glanced below at the Maggot Lord Johgrub who trembled in his cowboy boots. Rael's eyes were cold and a smirk was etched on his visage that curled his lips dangerously upward.
"-you can call me, Stepfather."
