Chapter 934 Shard I

It had taken a week for Jinx to finally arrive within House Black and explain to me all that had happened within her village, which had taken me by surprise.

Richter, who had only been a low god, had exploded in power, reaching high god in a few years while I was unconscious; That was when the village was attacked by a few Kings of Hell, which doesn't make sense unless they were under the direction of a Fallen. The Kings of Hell were beings who did not need to slaughter mindlessly; they focused more on individual torment, whereas Demons would take pleasure in large slaughterings.

Jinx's clan had no other way to defend themselves, so they fled instead of bothering to fight. However, while Jinx was fleeing, she noticed something odd about Richter, who stood beside Aiza.

She felt a rich bloodline closely related to mine, yet different. And, according to some of the ancestors within her clan, it was of House Lazarus.

Resting over the guest house, bathing under the glow of moonlight, I stared at the endless sea of stars. I didn't know why but I felt my heart dip at the thought of Richter as if some strange force had returned.

"Chemosh that Fallen has all but admitted he was the reason behind Richter, but just who did he resurrect? An enemy from the past? I wonder who that could be."

Unease prickled my skin, and my eyes narrowed as I lifted myself to my feet, summoning the spear of Noctem. I turned towards the entrance from the rooftop, seeing a faint outline of a stranger. And yet, as I stood there, I began to notice all the guards near the wall guarding the entrance drop one by one.

"A~r~s~e~n~e"

My heart quickened as a smile branded my face at the lovable voice echoing in the back of my mind. My legs shuttered, and with a quick shadow step to the entrance, a rainfall of aqua blue hair entered my face alongside the bewitching features of the lustrous Levi-Chan.

Robes tightly wound around her body; she smiled, " Hi,"

"Hi," I said back, narrowing my eyes at the look burning in her eyes. "How'd you find me?"

"You took my daughter's innocence, and you think I wouldn't know?" She conveyed, drawing near, wrapping her arms around me. " Gods, I've missed you!

I doubt that.

"I've missed you too. A life without Levi-chan is one that isn't worth living," I replied, enjoying the sweet warmth and the waterfall of silky blue hair running down my arms.

"I have got a present for you." She finally said, backing away with a smile.

She seems different. She seems smaller. Or have I already gotten so powerful? That monsters like Levi seem normal.

Levi continued. "We meant to give it to you at the banquet, but when I scanned you, it seemed you were in the middle of something." She glanced around, narrowing her eyes, "There is a lot of people watching this building, shall we—"

Shadow Stepping across the world to the little hut Lilith and I found, a tingle of awe filled her eyes. "You know Asmo, and I have a few demonic relics that stops almighty techniques, right?"

"Reality is my toy to mess with," I responded, slowly beginning to understand the complexity of the Path of Abyssal Night that was generating the Divinity of Sin. It almost seemed like it was exempting me from the rules.

Levi eyed me with an intensity that made me want to take a step back, but I held my ground, enjoying that cardinal look.

I snatched her hand and pulled her inside the little hut Lilith, and I shared. " Well, what are you giving me?"

Levi's expression turned a little solemn, " Within the abyss, I almost died retrieving this shard, as it was surrounded by many Abyssal Fiends guarding it. Even now, I don't know how we survived that ordeal. Maybe it's the will of Lord Lucifer, but we retrieved this shard that looked to belong to a weapon or relic and thought it would be best to give to you before Asmo and I ascend," She lifted her hand, and the space around her palm twisted into a vortex as a shard appeared.

Black as the deepest night, my heart hammered, and I took a step back. "H-h-how do you have that." I barked and screamed, " IZAVITH! END!!! WHOEVER IS THERE, GET HERE NOW!!!!"

Tears instantly swelled as I stared at the shard. Shuttering as blood slipped from my lips at the possibility.

"Arsene?" Levi said.

My hands trembled as I reached for the shard, taking it.

[Ding]

[Compatibilty 100%]

[Bloodline Link Found]

[Shard of Laevatein]

An ache I'd never endured before splintered my skin, and from the void, I saw Izavith appear with a dark expression. "What the hell do you—" She paused, turning to the shard, causing her expression to sink." "But that's. That's Laevatein."

Unable to even speak for a while, as the glow of the shard warmed my skin, thirteen generals appeared one after the other, followed by Zero, Zariel, Truck-Kun, and even Mephisto.

"Brother, let me," Zariel weakly said, holding my shoulder.

"Where's Lilith?" I softly asked.

"We won't tell her, ok." He said, but I shook my head and turned to my brother, who held a hollow look.

"This is when we need to be together," I replied, enduring the pain the best I could, but tears still fell as I stood bathing in this aura. My teeth clenched," All minds need to be on deck."

Zariel nodded, and within a second, a bewitching angel appeared alongside Lilith and Zena.

"Ars…"

Lilith hadn't even said a word before her body fell limp the second her eyes fell on the shard. Quickly moving, Mephisto caught her, handing her to the strange angel with an icy look.

"You know what to do, right, Little Devil?" Mephisto said, and Levi nodded, fainting right away.

Paying no attention to irrelevant things, I turned to Zariel, who began to frown. " I can't tell if the twins are alive, but I can say the one who broke this sword was someone on par with the Father. Or at least on a level that could shatter a bloodline weapon."
