Destiny

Demon's Path | Akuma No Michi


The trip to the next floor took more than the rest, and he felt a different source of power was on this floor, such a powerful force that he wasn’t sure whether he would overcome this foe. At arrival, he saw her. She was wearing a traditional blue kimono, which was hand in hand with her light blue skin. She was beautiful, a magnificent woman, but that wasn’t applicable to who she really was. She was waiting for Akuma with her arms wide open, almost like luring him to her. “Hello Akuma, I’ve been waiting for you. Now let me explain something about this floor, the final floor of the White Mountains. This is a gap in reality where all laws don’t apply, such as the laws of dimensions, and those of space or time.”- “Did I ask? Yeah and also, you’re pretty busty, I think we can fuck before we fight right?”- The grin on her face turned to an expression of anger, her eyes were tinted with internal rage. Before Akuma could understand what happened, the lady that embodied all dualities struck him. There was a hole in his chest, a huge gaping hole. Blood fell down to the ground, trickling and staining the white room with drops of red. Akuma wanted to speak, but he couldn’t and even his regeneration ability didn’t work in the presence of this foe. The woman opened her hand, and the hole in Akuma’s chest was no more, but now she applied the process again, causing a near death experience, and healing him over and over. Akuma had never felt this much pain before. “Just so you know, if I wanted to, you’d be dead right now, a part of my eternal army just like the rest.”- She laughed and laughed, a crazy woman she was, but surprisingly, during this process there it was again, the maniacal trademark laugh of The Childish Devil. The lady wasn’t phased by this, but it was quite important. His eyes shone like never before, with chaos, and happiness. In the arms of Lady Death materialised what seemed like a skeleton, she started performing a sort of dance. “This is my ability, Dance of Death.”- She started snapping bones off of the Skeleton, and unbeknownst to Akuma, the same was happening to his body, it was a sort of voodoo, but one where the user didn’t need anything from the one receiving this treatment. Akuma was overjoyed, laughing as his sanity was fading away from him. It was torture, but one that led Akuma to insanity.《 Ability 》Monarch’s Luck- ‘This ability allows the user to create the ultimate miracles, even if the chances of winning or succeeding are zero, the ultimate miracle will be created, meaning that the user will overcome the obstacle. User shall be granted all necessary powers to complete the task.’- Akuma stopped his laughter, none of Lady Death’s attacks were working anymore, he took steps forward to her. She was frozen in terror, in ultimate fear, but she regained herself and lunged at Akuma. He caught her kick, and started ravaging her face along the walls in the gap of reality, she didn’t have blood nor a soul, but she felt it. Pure pain , torment by the hands of the ultimate devil. He took her down to the ground, and started beating her, relentlessly without stopping. Finally to end this torment- 《 Ability 》Belly of The Beast- She was devoured in less than a second. This time it was different, Akuma felt something. Not only had he completely transcended the Lady of Death, but he had also ascended to another world. What could be described as a heavenly realm.
