Revenge of the Serpent

Chapter 43

Asmodeus could feel many intense emotions rushing through her body; frustration, pain, restlessness, satisfaction, happiness…Lust.

She smacked her whip across the ground, creating a large gap within the golden floor, Mammon was still clueless as to what she'd just done but he knew that something was clearly wrong with her.

"Come at me, Greed!" Asmodeus shouted in a shaky voice, the corner of her lips curled up into an arrogant smirk. "You want vengeance? Let's see if you're worthy!"

Mammon took a deep breath and held out his claws in an offensive form, before suddenly he dashed towards her at high speeds with a single beat of his dragon wings.

The claws only reached the ground, creating a large explosion upon contact. Despite her wound, Asmodeus was somehow moving at a faster speed than before.

Greed turned and was about to charge at Lust again when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Asmodeus was smirking at him and standing completely still, exposing herself completely to attacks.

'I guess she couldn't hold out anymore.' Mammon thought just as a wave of pain surged through his body. He let out a surprise scream before he collapsed onto the ground.

"What…What the f*ck!?" Greed glared at Asmodeus, who'd just managed to hit him with her whip; it moved so fast that even he couldn't see it.

Another surge of pain hit him just as the whip moved again, Mammon couldn't hold his cries as completely fell onto his belly, tears stung his eyes as he frowned intensely, looking up at Asmodeus who had a crazy glint in her eyes.

"You…You f*cking psychopath…"

"Oh? Did you just realize that?" Asmodeus laughed, though Mammon didn't find it funny at all, his confident attitude earlier had completely disappeared, replaced by something he never thought he would ever feel again: fear.

"What was that…? What did you do…?"

"I don't really want to use it, trust me~" Asmodeus sang. "Cus it's really…REALLY…Hard to stop once I get going…"

Mammon had never acknowledged Asmodeus as a great demon king, she didn't have any attacking spells after all, while her whip was her only form of dealing damage. She'd somehow gotten to second place and Mammon never knew the reason why, he just thought that she'd gotten lucky.

But now he knew just how terrifying the Demon King of Lust could be.

Asmodeus raised her whip and struck down towards Mammon again, he couldn't even finish his first set of cries when she continued to whip him until the domain began to disappear due to lack of concentration.

Mammon was trying to hold onto his last ounce of arrogance, wanting to break free from whatever sort of skill Asmodeus had used and counterattack, but that thought would completely disappear in mere seconds and was replaced by nothing more but his wish for the pain to stop.

"Stop!!! Please!!!" His pointless begging didn't even cause the crazed Asmodeus to flinch, she continued to hit him despite his words while laughing maniacally, it was as if she'd lost her mind.

'I can't take it anymore.' Mammon mustered his last ounce of strength and sat up, forcing his way through the fury of whips, though he didn't even think of lashing at Asmodeus and instead he aimed his own claws at his chest, digging out his heart and crushing it in his palms.

It was then that Asmodeus finally stopped, her expression turned neutral as she watched Mammon's body fall to the ground, lifeless while a pool of blood gathered around him, though in no time, his body would begin to disintegrate into small balls of light.
