.Trivia of the day #48: Rize is one of the only few characters who has met Akashina face-to-face

_______________

'Leave, or be disintegrated, your kind is not welcome here.'

Announce Karna as her voice was projected into the mind of everyone present before her.

Of course, the first to speak to Karna, was Rize as she said.

"Karna... It's me... Melissa Von Estherbern the III, the former princess of the Kuniko clan, I use to be a student at the academy of Saint Mich...

However, before Rize could even finish speaking, Karna silences her immediately as she said.

"I know who you are former princess of the Kuniko clan, however, you are no princess, not anymore that is, all I see is a bloodthirsty man-eating vampire, to think a saintess would fall this low, what change you, what move you, what made you into this... this...

"Monster...

Rize finished Karna's sentence, although just admitting to the fact hurt her more than anyone here could realize.

However to everyone's Suprised, they got to find out that Rize was not only a witch but also a princess presumably even a saintess candidate.

Although no one understands what that entails for everyone's favorite lovable vampire.

But at the same time, Nero finally realizes who Rize truly was as she said with shock in her voice.

"Wait... Rize... No Melissa Von Estherbern the III... No fucking way... are you the Melissa Von Estherbern the III... The heretic, The Dark maiden of the Kuniko clan, who was under the rule of lord Zoro the 5th, to think you are one of humanity's ten great evils, the immortal nun princess, the mother of evil, the wicked witch of Black Taw... And also the mother of Angra Mai...

However, before Rize could finish, her sentence Rize shut her off by saying.

"Please don't say that name... That child is my greatest sin and also my greatest regret, I don't want to remember him, not like he is now that is."

This puzzled everyone presents here.

Of course, Asmodeus was no exception, as he ask Nero softly.

"Who is Melissa Von Estherbern the III?"

Asmodeus questions with a confused expression, but Nero did not reply.

Nero had a troubled expression on her face as she stared at Rize, after all, the origin story of Melissa Von Estherbern the III was a sad one, no it was a tragedy, of a young girl who already had her destiny prepared ahead of time, and to make things worse she touched something she shouldn't have."

A cursed object that forever changed her life.

Her flesh does not rot.

Her bones do not crumble.

Her blood does not harden.

And death does not greet her.

She became a being freed from the concept of death, and because of this, she was chosen to walk the path of the divine in the name of her clan's God.

For the first time, Nero felt pity for another soul if what she knows about the story of Melissa was true, then...

But before Nero could voice out the fact in her head, Asmodeus tap her and ask.

"Oi. Snapped out of it, I am asking you a question, who the hell is this Melissa Von Estherbern?"

Nero look at Asmodeus and said.

"When I was an agent at Pandora I had a friend named Melissa Von Estherbern the XII, she hails from a powerful ancient clan who practice Zoroastrianism, although this is long before I have forsaken my humanity to be with you, darling."

"You see Melissa is a scholar, she once told me that the next clan head will always inherit the name, Melissa."

"The name will always be passed on to the heir of the Estherbern family which is always a female, they have said they have a set of beliefs that requires interbreeding amongst themselves which is a part of a sacred ritual in their clan."

"You see for them to become a saintess they must free themselves from their sins, how they do this is by making an elder breed with their clan successor who has to be a maiden of eighteen years."

"That maiden will then bear the elders child, and raise that child to be pure of heart, and when that child comes of age the mother would torture that child brutally for 666 days, committing all the vilest acts of sin to said child."

"By doing this they pass on all their sins to an innocent vessel perfecting themselves by freeing themselves from the evil within, and becoming what they call the saintess, a being with unlimited holy power."

"Of course, at that time I just laugh at the fact and pass it by as a twisted fairy tale, of making the purest being out of the vilest of acts."

"However there is more to the story, Melissa told me that out of the twelve that did this ritual which is called the ritual of Repulsion, there was one person who didn't go through with it, and that was."

"Let me guess Rize."

Replied Asmodeus as he see where this story was going, but to think Rize had such a dark past, that was almost if not more twisted than his.

Nero nodded her head and continue.

"Yeah if Rize is truly Melissa Von Estherbern the III, then she is responsible for creating the vilest Zenith to exist, the God of Darkness, because she didn't complete the ritual, and only made it to the 587th night because the accumulated holy power went back to her child whose heart was filled with a great amount of hate and disdain for her mother and the clan."

Upon hearing this Asmodeus had a shocked expression on his face.

Truly to what method or length do these powerful families go for power, it's things like these that made Asmodeus realize that the world of the supernatural is very unforgiving and cold at hearted, he never would have thought that such a horrible and inhumane ritual could have existed, to received higher power.

It's even more horrendous when you have practiced it for over twelve generations.

However, to his surprise, he never would have thought that Rize went through, and experience such a thing in the past, although strangely enough, he feels more for the child than Rize herself.

He could relate to that child, he could understand his hate all too well.

The overwhelming fear

The heart-wrenching betrayal

The growing hate in his heart which plagues his soul.

All of these things are how villains are made.

But as Asmodeus began to think of these unknown factors, the voice of Karna rang out once more.

'Hmmm... So you do realize your sin, how ironic, well, either way, all of you are not welcome here, especially you Demon King, I know too well of your existence, all your kind does is bring chaos and unjust to this world, even if you are a byproduct of the mother of creation, your presence is not welcome in these holy lands, so leave this place, or perish, the choice is yours.'

Karna said as she look at Asmodeus with pure disgust in her eyes.

However, to everyone's surprise, Asmodeus suddenly move from the center, and no one even realizes this till his voice was heard near the enemy.

"No, you have a point fox lady, I don't even belong here, however, I fail to realize what made you think I would care for your opinion either way, to me you are just an eye sore blocking me from my goal, so with that, I will kindly ask you to die... Awaken Asmodeus."

At these words, everyone looks in front of them in amazement, even Karna was shocked at his speed because the currently speaking Asmodeus suddenly appeared above her head.

The Blade of Erection pointed directly above her skull, preparing the pierce from above.

Karna instantly panic as she said.

"When... did you reach him...

**BOOOOOOOOOM!!!**

However, before Karna could even have the opportunity to finish speaking, Asmodeus's sword began to extend at an extremely fast speed, piercing through her skull and her brain, but it didn't end there, the blade drilled a hole into the entire island, clipping her to the ground.

This time, however, the sword didn't become gigantic instead it was only the blade that extended, the speed at which it does this is Mach-69.

And to everyone's surprise, the beast that Rize hyped up to be very dangerous died with only one single attack from the king's blade as Karna's body fell to the ground, in an instant.

Eventually, her entire corpse began to melt at a rapid rate, as the matter-destroying poison within Kuromaru's weaponized body was injected directly into her brain, as it flow through her vein, and spread throughout her body.

Blood began to drain from the beast's eyes, ears, and mouth, leaving its final facial expression one of shock and surprise, it was amusing in an ironic and mundane way.

Everyone looks up at him with either awe or surprise, as he pulls Asmodeus from the beast's skull as he said.

**Swoosh!**

"Honestly all talk and no bite, if this is the capacity of your race power I am highly disappointed, you aren't even worthy of my time, pathetic."

Meanwhile, Necroma said with a victorious grin on her face as she look at Nero and said.

"Fufufufu... See what I tell you, the giant oaf of sulfur didn't even last a tenth of a minute against the king's blade, and that was not even the full capacity of that divine blade."

"Shut up maid... I am well aware of what darling is capable of, I don't need you to tell me anything."

Nero retorted.

"Amazing... So skillful, but despite that, what is the name of that beauty who he carries in his hand, I have never seen such a sword like that in my life."

Announce Gorgo who suddenly developed an interest in the sword Asmodeus wields in battle.

To which Lilu replied.

"That is the Blade of Erection, it's a living divine weapon, capable of mass destruction even on its own accord, it was crafted from father's blood, and within it is a high-ranking Demonic Spirit by the name of Kuromaru, it is said Kuromaru can kill even spiritual bodies, it's poison however is the greatest quirk, it can destroy all form of matter no question ask."

"Kuromaru ha?"

Said Rize in a sad voice.

Meanwhile, Asmodeus looks down at his heroes as he said.

"Well then shall we bless Saint Michael with our presence?"

To be continued.
