Erebus had spent the night playing music to fill the hall, but now he had to explore the rest of this forsaken place the heat on his face, was something he had welcomed as he knew of his cold touch even if he could not explain it. The demons voided wings weighing the weight of the world upon his back as he headed closer down into the city, passing countless animal-like demon's each looking at him and seemingly moving away from his, the suited demon had guessed because he dressed closely to Alastor or better known around hell as the radio demon "it seems they are scared of me for the way I dress" the crimson demon though before a voice called out to him "hey radio demon want to be, who the hell do you think you are walking around here without a care" after letting a sigh escaped from his lips Erebus had turned around. Four demons smaller than him approached him three of them holding swords or some sword of a blade with the last pointing a firearm at him "you walked into the wrong area boy, now give us everything you have" one of them demanded before cocking the hammer back smiling while the smallest started patting me down clearing looking to see if I was armed. 


"This is not a wise thing to do my friends, so I will offer you once chance to just walk away, as claiming your lives is not on my itinerary" the suited demon smiled wide at the group while he looked around at the bystanders counting silently in his head, his wings flutter ever so slightly in his jacket. crack  Erebus failed to keep his eye on them while the shot heightened his senses but even as a demon the attack found its mark in his shoulder "that is your warning scum, now hand them over" the voice once again called out as the snake pulled the hammer back, his tongue darting out while Erebus placed his hand on the wound smiling, His eyes turning back as they had done with the spider named angel, as well as his wings shooting out from behind him "your sins will be collected" the tone hissing before the man removed his hand, and much to his shock the blood stopped dripping only to pool in his hand slowly taking the style of a scythe light as a feather allowing Erebus to swing it faster than the group though, the blade found its mark along with the demon on his right's neck, followed by jumping backward allowing Erebus a few moments to think as the group stood dumbfounded. The blade within his hand shifting once more into a crimson sword slightly more heavy than previously and with a few test swings it felt like perfection "you bastard you killed jimmy now you will die!" the serpent screamed while he fired three more times only for Erebus's wings to fly to his chest taking each hit, the sound of metal hitting metal echos while the suited demon chuckles rising his hand out his fingers extended as more blood from his wound pools forming a curved dagger with glowing runes "as I said, friends, your sins will be collected but it has been too long since there has been a fight that I have been in that was enjoyable, so now die" the suited demon smiles exposing his fangs as well with the sharp teeth that rowed in his mouth before vanishing into thin air.  Moments pass before the demons welding blades drop to the ground seemingly cut down by nothing, the snake started to shake violently swinging the gun around sending the last of the demons brave or dumb enough to stay after the last shots "you see my friend, unlike most demons that you shakedown, in life was the monster everyone feared and in this world, I am even stronger" Erebus spoke through the blood on the ground where he was shot. The snake demon moved closer confused by whatever power this demon had, it was something he had never seen "scum come out and fight me as a demon to demon, or are you scared" hissing through his teeth while Erebus sat in the darkened ally the glowing iris cutting itself free watching the snake while the suited demon walks out into the shadows throwing the snake one of the blades a wicked smile kissing his lips meanwhile the snake picked it up "time to die again snake born" the suited demon spins the sword in his hand once before jumping up bring the blade into the snakes 


drip drip drip drip 


the street had gone silent both the snake demon and Erebus laid face down blood pooling around them. the air getting slightly colder as a petite demon walks over his body looking down at him, her hand touching the suited demons face softly before jerking his arm allowing the popping of it setting it before pulling out a phone "yeah al, I found him it seems he killed 5 demons by himself." the soft voice stops more a moment "um seems he was shot and by the smell can you inform angel and husk come down here to pick him up, I will make sure no one gets around him.... yeah angel told me about his wings and whatnot" while the smaller demon spoke Erebus sat up, the eyes of the suited demon had returned to the normal golden honey before pushing himself up waving his hand over the wounds his blood leaking out turning into a tread like substance sewing the open wounds shut "and who might you be a young demon" Erebus smirks at the pale-faced demon with Rosey cheeks while his wounds closed. The pools of blood around the suited demon sliding around him before returning into the body of the demon "my name is Charlie and I am not young I've been around here for a long time, From what Alastor has told me he has taken an interest in you, as well as angel and to be honest Angel taking an interest is even scarier and I would be careful if I was you" she chuckles before rising again to take her leave before turning to face him again "also if you want a job we need a piano player for the bar if your interested speak to Husk" before the suited demon could answer the pale demon was gone leaving Erebus alone among the dead bodies. After taking some items or perhaps trophies the suited demon pulls a rolled-up joint from his jacket, as well as a golden lighter with vichallen carved in the side taking the flame to it, a deep breath allowing the drugs deep within his lungs while the sun started to set. oh mistress what does thy will hold for me that alines with the fates Erebus though to himself taking another long drag allowing more to enter his bloodstream while he sat back down among the bodies a wicked smile kissing his lips once more for he was one more step to his goal
