LAST TIME:

"I am going on an emergency quest, I will preoccupied for a bit. Send a command to keep the fortress in a battle-ready state until I return. If rouge demons come you know the rules. Until I return you will be in charge, just know if I return and anything is wrong it will be your head I skewer on the gates spikes." She said before turning to the demon with a fierce look in her eyes that completely replaced the surprise that was there previously.

"Yes!" The demon yelled as he lowered his head in a bow. As he did the woman turned away her face revealing a small smile just before a portal began to grow in front of her. Without a hint of concern, she walked towards the portal leaving behind bloody footprints on the ground.

"Ara Ara how interesting, a surprise quest to kill the Asura race. Who would have guessed such a race lived in a soul realm, regardless if it is the soul realm this is going to be a cakewalk of a quest. It's been a while since I have been able to stretch my legs. Still to use my old name... this is getting more interesting by the second." She said to herself as a wild smile spread across her face.

NOW:

THIRD PERSON POV:

A group of Asura warriors could be seen making their way across a massive desolate landscape. Nothing but broken mountains made of a reddish black rock and and desolate plains dyed red surrounded them. Nothing but tree husks were left of any vegetation; even then, there were not many of them. Since this was a soul realm eating and drinking were not necessary for anyone here yet that did not mean spirit or soul plants existed.

"I still don't see anything! That fucking scanner is broken just like I said! Nothing happens for thousands of years and suddenly it goes off? Bullshit! All of you should have fucking listened to me!" A warrior yelled as he waved his sabers around in anger, the 5 other Asuras simply listened as their faces scrunched up a bit. Normally such words would be fighting words but this Asura had 3 sets of arms and eyes, his tattoos were also much more detailed proving his higher Tier and rank. All of them were only Tier 1 beings with 2 sets of arms and eyes.

"We are heading back! All of you are filling out that stupid report as well!" He yelled as all the Asura obediently nodded as the leading Asura revealed a toothy grin, he had taken this job to fight new enemies! Unfortaly new enemies never came and it led to an extremely boring career. Such a thing to an Asura was like an office job that was slowly driving him insane, he needed action!

"Hmm? Oh, my guest already? Why don't you stay for a minute." Suddenly a voice stopped them all in their tracks a voice so soothing and delicate it seemed to seep into their souls like a sweet poison. Several weaker-willed Asura even collapsed to the ground gasping for air as the words forced them to stop moving altogether.

"F- Fuck!" The six-armed Asura cursed as his body struggled to move a light giggle echoed around them as a sudden shudder ran through all of them.

"It seems one of you is a bit better than the rest, I want you little soldier. The rest of you... disappear for me." The soft voice beckoned as the Tier 1 soldiers' eyes glazed over as they began to happily laugh before they plunged their weapons into their bodies. While this happened Captain Asura was walking towards the voice against his own will. The blood of his allies splattered the ground all around him before silently turning into red dust along with the lifeless bodies.

"Delightful, it seems I haven't lost my touch after all." The voice said happily as the Asura finally rounded a corner to a small cave before stopping in his tracks. His entire soul shuddered and nearly collapsed upon seeing the woman. She was so beautiful that he felt the need to rip his eyes out since nothing in this life would be worth seeing after this.

Long brown hair with violet highlights fell down her head and side like a waterfall, while a pair of scarlet kaleidoscope eyes that seemed to be made of every color of fire imaginable stared down at him. Her face was... perfect, with not a blemish or scar on it, and a beauty that could only be described as delicate yet devilish. Almost she would wisher sweat nothing into your ear before gutting you.

She also had two small lightly pointed ears and a pair of beautiful backward horns on her head that only added to her devilish nature. She currently wore a stunning red leather armor that traced every curve on her nearly 14-foot-tall body which would drive men and women crazy while her bust and hips were equally big yet not too much making everything perfect. Altogether this would be labeled a succubus even without a second glance, yet even succubi were not this beautiful.

"Oh I apologize little lamb, it seems my aura is a bit strong." She laughed with a mischievous smile before pulling back in her glossy purple and red aura as the Asura trembled in fright. Two of his hands were already inches away from his eyes ready to rip them out, he hadn't even realized what he was doing.

"W-Who are you?" He managed to stutter out as the woman gave a smile before sitting down on a rock right behind her.

"You don't need to know, just call me mistress. Now tell me everything you know little lamb. I want to pay a visit to your home but I simply don't know the best way to get there. Also are there any important people there? I want to know if I should bring gifts." She said in a cute and worried tone. The Asura's mind blanked out and his mouth began to move on its own. He relayed everything he knew, from deep secrets about the camp to rumors he happened to hear as her smile slowly grew.

Elsewhere in this soul plane, another scenario was taking place as a figure sat on a withered tree stump and calmly looked down at what appeared to be a small town. The town was crude and seemed to be made out of stone and weathered wood, yet the center of town appeared to have much nicer buildings centered around a huge fighting arena. The man's eyes slowly scanned the town as he watched both male and female Asura run around, though most had only two sets of arms he did spot several dozen with three sets.

"This seems like a good place to start." He said to himself as he slowly stood up to his full height of 15 feet tall before popping sounds erupted from his joints like firecrackers. Casually stretching a bit more he slowly limbered up before finally coming to a stop and letting out a hot breath.

"This is going to get in the way." He said to himself looking at his long wavy hair before it suddenly started to shorten until it was only several inches long and rested comfortably on his head. Running a hand through the hair a little the man nodded before he seemed to think of something as the man's face grew a short yet thick black beard. Together with the black wavy hair and the short stubbly beard, it complimented his looks very well with his late 20s facial features.

"It's been a minute since I've had one of these, I hope it will help her recognize me a little easier better." He said with a light chuckle as he ran his hand over the beard before nodding a little before noticing his partial nudeness.

"Right clothes, come on Percy get it together. It's not like I'm super nervous about meeting her or something." Percy lied to himself with a very nervous chuckle to nobody but himself before quickly shutting his mouth and waving his hand as light shimmered around his body before a set of silver and blue armor with a gold trim started to form on his body. It appeared slightly sharp on the edges yet easy to move in and had a knight-like appearance to it.

"This should do it... now let's make a racket shall we?" He said before his rainbow-like eyes focused on the town below through his helmet. He didn't even bother summoning a weapon as he took several steps back before shooting forward. In an instant, the ground beneath his feet exploded from the sheer force of his jump as he arched through the air at high speeds.

"Huh? What is that?" A Tier 2 Asura questioned seeing a huge dust cloud erupt in the distance as his eyes narrowed slightly. Just then he caught a glance of something flying extremely fast through the air and heading right their way. It didn't take a moment for it to be on top of them as the clouds above their city were ripped open by wind pressure.

*PHWEEEE!*

*BOOOOOOMMM!!*

Before the citizens knew what was happening, the whole town shook violently, and nearly everyone below Tier 3 was thrown to the ground. A second later they were thrown back by a blastwave and a huge mushroom cloud soon formed in the middle of their town. Everyone was thrown into a panic as huge boulders and debris soon started to fall from the sky, many Tier 1 beings were crushed with ease due to their size and weight as they fell on them.

"ENEMIE ATTACK! EVACUATE THE TIER 0 AND KILL THE ENEMIE!" Many guards screamed as they tried to destroy the falling debris and many started to rush the dust cloud that had taken over the destroyed Arena. Percy on the other hand dusted himself off a bit without a hint of concern as he listened to the quickly approaching guards while looking at the notifications from the system.

"They are quick to respond." He said as he turned just in time to see the first Tier 2 Asura jumping through the air as he brandished 6 armored fists his way. In a split second, the Asura was already throwing three fists his way as Percy simply waved his hand as if swatting a fly the Tier 2 Asura exploded into a cloud of blood and guts that showered Percy and the area around him. He didn't even have a moment to wipe the blood off as more approached.

"HHHHHHAAAAA!" More than 30 voices screamed at him as Percy felt a vast wave of mana flood his way as multiple killing moves were used at once, it seemed that he was surrounded quite fast. The dust storm was then ripped apart by mana in the image of huge Asuras, horrifying beasts, vicious weapons, wicked plants, crescent blades, laser beams, etc. Each shade of mana was the same, a vicious shade of blood-red that would make one skin crawl. Yet Percy saw all of the attacks in slow motion as his eyes scanned all of them with ease.

Percy was so fast compared to the attack he even had time to ask a question to the system. 'Hey Akashic a bit of help since I'm new to this place, are skills needed to cast specific moves here?' Percy asked while building up mana inside his body at a rapid rate.

[Further details about the mission have been requested...]

[Skills are not necessary here, though they can provide a form of guidance to move mana in a certain way. However, a soul realm follows different rules than a normal realm due to multiple factors that allow for this. As long as you can imagine it and have the mana for it you can do it. Please note this is only viable in the soul realm unless you understand how the mana system works or become at least Tier 5 existence in both soul and body]

"Oh? That is more interesting than I first thought, though it seems I won't be able to enjoy this feeling of power for a while after I leave. Best to enjoy it the best I can!" Percy said to himself as a wolf-like grin spread across his face and a huge burst of bluish-black mana came from him. It was so fast and intense the killing moves that were flying his way were ripped apart simply from the pressure of the mana. The Asura guards closest to him felt the full brunt of it as the mana was so intense it made some of the weaker Tier 2 ones pass out.

Every Asura in the town then felt and violent and ominous presence descend on them as a large Greek Omega symbol began to form behind Percy like a corrupt halo. One half was made of sinister black mana that looked like sticky ink while the other half was made of blue mana that was like that of a clear blue sea. Both colors took up half of the massive halo while Percy's grin began to widen as a vast amount of power rushed through him.

"You better start running if I were you, not that it would make much of a difference," Percy said with a shrug as a Tier 3 Asura with 4 sets of eyes and arms with very sophisticated tribal tattoos appeared from the encirclement of them before yelling at him. "WE ARE PROUD ASURA WARRIORS! WE RUN FROM NOTHING!"

"So be it," Percy said as he held out his arms as a vast amount of black mana began to pour out of him, the white parts of his armor were even dyed charcoal black as the mana polluted everything around it. The soul realm even began to shift and change as if something was trying to force itself through the very space it sat.

"Festival of Madness."

In a single instant, Percy watched the world around him finally give in as his mana spread like wildfire during a drought. His mana flooded into the soul realm's very fabric like a fatal pollution that dyed everything nonliving black as it spread further at an incredible speed. Percy then felt a pull from deep inside his mind as millions of agonizing roars from the tortured beings in it began to grow restless. With a smile spread across his face, Percy shot towards the Tier 3 Asura and then it was hell itself was opened up.

"RRROOOAAARRRR!" Vicious roars filled the sky around the town and then just countless faceless beings started to climb out of the blacked ground. Their once featureless faces now had a split open revealing a mouth filled with extremely sharp red teeth. Their hands grew long knife-like claws as they rushed towards their nearest victim.

"Kill the creatures, defend-." A Tier 2 Asura tried to scream at the others to fight but a nearly 9ft tall faceless figure with massive muscles came crashing down from the sky with huge a spike wagon wheel made of poorly shaped iron. The makeshift weapon turned the Tier 2 Asura into nothing but meat paste and blood as the huge creature let out a roar of victory as the others joined it.

Soon more and more creatures of all shapes and sizes piled out of the blackened ground until their numbers reached 40 thousand strong. Though most were Tier 1 beings whole killed their opponents with overwhelming numbers and their deadly knife-like fingernails. The Tier 2 creatures all had some sort of metal torture device be it a wagon wheel, a broken sword, or even a thorned whip. With the very few Tier 3 faceless creatures came the torture machines or at least parts of them in some cases.

One Tier 3 monster wore an executioner hood and swung around a guillotine blade attached to a chain while another monster pushed a giant spike ball that had Asura corpses completely covering its surface. Like a whirlwind of death, these monsters turned this Asura town into a sea of blood and guts, none were spared from either death or torture as their yells of madness seemed to be filled with glee.

"Come on boys! This town is finished!" Suddenly a shout cut through the roars and yells in the town as everyone went quiet and all heads turned to the source. On top of a huge water wheel that seemed to be made of some sort of red-tinted metal stood Percy, his black metal armor gleaming beautifully in the red-tinted light. Just then all the monsters let out a howl of glory that filled the sky in an almost beautiful way. Hearing them howl Percy couldn't help but roll his eyes a little and shake his head feeling embarrassed.

These monsters all had a piece of himself in them, technically they were souls Tartarus stuffed into him during his tortures in hopes of polluting his mind and soul. Technically Tartatus had succeeded in doing just that, but Percy managed to kill all of them but each left a stain on his soul when he did. In doing so they had fused with him and became these things when the darkness in him fully fused with him. They were part of his mind and part of his personality that he kept hidden away.

"So embarrassing... can't say I don't like it though," Percy said to himself before grinning and letting out a ground-shaking howl while raising a severed head of the Asura who led this town, a Tier 3 on the brink of becoming a Tier 4 existence. Upon doing so the howling from the creatures grew even more as Percy himself couldn't help but let out a victorious laugh and threw the head towards the monsters as they quickly devoured it.

"To the next town my friends! Let us lay waste to this land!" Percy yelled before hopping down to a spoke that stuck out of the side of the waterwheel. Just like that, the wheel lit aflame with black flames and then started to roll across the land as Percy stood comfortably on the spoke without even shuddering a little. The monsters roared in delight as they sunk back into the tainted ground before the pollution began to recede towards Percy. Soon nothing but a desolate ghost town was left in his wake, not even a single drop of blood remained either as it turned into the red desert sand.

LINEBREAK:

"I have a report for you Great Warrior Blood, reports have come in from several eastern cities that they have lost contact with several towns in the red sand desert. We have sent out scouts just in case but none have returned or sent back any word." A Tier 3 Asura said while bowing to a much larger Asura who stood 15ft tall and had 5 sets of arms but unlike the others, he had two heads instead of one, each with 5 sets of eyes.

Currently, the figure sat cross-legged on the ground as its hands and faces moved in sync with each other as it devoured various dishes made of meat and vegetables, all of which were the original natives of the soul realm before the Asura invaded. These simple soul beings were captured and raised and grown by the highest class of Asura like cattle, they were so rare in fact that even Tier 3 Asura would rarely have a chance to dine on them.

Yet this Asura made an entire feast of the soul beasts and plants that nurtured his soul with each bite and strengthened his very being. The Asura who was reporting to Blood couldn't help but salivate a bit as one of Blood's faces drank some sort of alcohol while the other faced him with a frown.

"What are you getting at?" He grumbled with one mouth as the other continued to eat and drink and stuff its face.

"We believe there is an intruder in the soul realm." The messenger said as Blood's hands stopped and both faces focused on the messenger. In doing so the messenger felt a huge pressure on him as he felt his soul tremble a bit as if wanting him to fight the Asura before him.

"What Tier were the scouts?" Blood asked as the messenger raised his head. "They were Tier 3, Great Warrior Blood."

"Hmm... gather 10 peak Tier 3 warriors and send them to figure out what is going on, if they all disappear then we can suspect it is another Quest issued by that damn system to someone. If not it is a rebelling tribe, inform me of what comes from it. Now go! You are interrupting my meal." He growled as the messenger nodded before exiting the room through a sliding door. Once the door closed Blood slowly set down his utensils and moved to the side of the table as another figure slowly appeared in the room.

"My mistress I believe this is the news you seek." Blood said in a subservient tone, even going so far as bowing his head toward the woman who appeared in front of the table. The woman didn't even look his way as a small smile played on her lips while she held up a pair of simple chopsticks and started to dig into the food on the table. Her ears wiggled a little in happiness as she ate an almost raw piece of meat and the flavor of it seemed to be to her liking, her scarlet kaleidoscope eyes also sparkled in happiness.

"We can't be sure just yet, you told me yourself that your tribe is at odds with several others. Until I have concrete evidence we will continue with my plan of gathering the surrounding Asura here. Once that is done, you will have the chance to see a truly spectacular site when you do." She said while pointing her chopsticks at Blood he nodded rapidly, his eyes full of nothing but infatuation for her as the woman gave a smile.

Adjusting her legs a little she then twirled the chopsticks and stabbed them into a large chuck of super rare meat. With ease, she raised the large piece of meat and then opened her mouth wide exposing a pair of sharp canine teeth that viscously bit into the meat. Happily chewing again she let out a small happy dance as she looked at the meat with sparkly eyes.

"Also go get more of this meat, its taste is a bit gamey but the effects it has on the soul are fantastic." She said with a smile as Blood nodded once again and quickly stood up before leaving the room leaving her to herself.

*Sigh*

"These Asura's minds are far too easy to take over it almost isn't any fun, thankfully this fool at least had something decent to eat." She spoke to herself while playing with some of her hair as she seemed to be thinking. Her eyes swirled with thoughts as she gently picked up another piece of meat and ate it. Savoring the flavor again she let out a light hum and then slowly opened her eyes as her thoughts seemed to drift.

"They must be looking for me if they decided to summon me, but who could it be? I can only think of a few who would want to see me... or hunt me down." She said as a glint of malice came from her eyes and her aura flared for a moment before settling down. She took a deep breath calming herself down before a smile graced her lips again and took a bite of some sort of vegetable stir fry.

"Be is a friend, foe, or... a lover, I hope they hurry up. It isn't nice to keep a girl waiting this long after they were the one that set up this date."

LINEBREAK:

PERCY POV:

"This makes number 4," I said as I watched the remaining faceless purge this town of Asura, their methods as brutal as ever, I couldn't help but chuckle at the site. Sometimes I forgot just how much bloodthirst I hid inside myself, to see it displayed right in front of me was both insightful in a way.

*Rumble*

I felt the ground rumble under my feet to see a giant flame wheel rolling its way towards me, at the moment several Tier 3 Asura were currently strapped to it as the black flames burned their souls to a crisp. These were the leaders of towns as well as some scouts I had run into as I traversed this realm. Their screams of pain filled the air as I paid them no mind and jumped onto the spoke on its side, even though the black flames were so close I didn't feel an ounce of heat from them.

"Do you think it is time to attack a city this time?" I couldn't help but ask Guillotine, or the nearly 20 foot tall faceless one that currently wielded a giant guillotine blade on a chain as a weapon. In response to my question Guillotine simply snapped his chain tight and let out a feral growl, seeing his response I couldn't help but laugh and reveal a toothy smile.

"Your right, where there are more enemies there is more opportunity to slaughter. Killing more grants us a bigger reward as well so I don't see why not, but first a bit of rest." I said with a smile as the Guillotine revealed a crooked smile in return before slowly returning to the tainted ground my mana had made. I took a deep breath and relaxed as I realized my army and I had been slaughtering Asura for nearly 16 hours straight at this point. Plus having the Festival of Madness, as I like to call it, running for that long was like using a special move over and over again.

Though my soul was able to pull in a vast amount of mana from the soul realm to supplement my mana expenditure it was not enough to completely get rid of it. I could only force myself to rest for a moment as I located a decent viewpoint in the distance as I ushered the flame wheel forward. In a matter of minutes, I was on the small mountain I had located and the flamewheel slowly sunk back into the tainted ground with the screaming Asuras still on it. Finding myself a comfy rock to sit on I then dispersed my mana as I felt a wave of relief flood over my body.

"That feels nice, a few hours rest should bring my soul back into tip-top shape. In the meantime, I guess I can scout out the region." I said to myself as I made an internal list of things to do for the moment, once that was settled I set my eyes on the surroundings as I slowly scanned around as time quickly passed by. It seemed that I had finally reached the end of the lowlands and finally reached a mountain range. Instead of using the sun to tell the direction this place used what was called the mana focal point, a little bit of info I got from a scout I captured.

From what I could tell I was heading West at the moment and in the distance I could see two large cities on the top of mountains not too far away from one another. Even from such a large distance away, I could still see the large buildings and center arena that they all had. After noting down a few things about them I nodded and came up with a few plans of action. While the Festival of Madness worked amazingly large groups I was worried about the cities, I only had 2 tier 4 strength beings summon at the moment.

"I need to think of something else... what would Annabeth do?" I questioned myself as I began to think I furrowed my brows together before glancing up at my omega symbol that had remained on my back the entire time. Observing its both blue and black colors my eyes slowly drifted towards the blue as an Idea came to mind.

"It seems I need to switch up tactics a little," I said with a smile as I released my black mana a bit my armor shifted back to its original colors and I began to move my blue mana instead. After feeling that my mana was at a good point I closed my eyes and started to think as my blue mana began to swirl around me.

"Something with long range." I thought to myself as I started to picture two things in my mind as my mana began to take form in my hands. Soon two familiar items were formed as I looked down at them with a smile.

"Annabeth would be proud, I even managed to get the dimensions right," I said with a bout of confidence. In my hands currently lay a silverly and gold spear and in the other was an atlatl or a spear thrower. Let's just say that even with practicing Archery for years in my past life and this one, I was still not nearly as skilled with a bow as I was an atlatl. Plus at the moment it was perfect for what I needed.

"Alright, now... I just need a bit more help." I said as blue mana from my body and the outside world pooled around me as I focused on the other half of my soul. In my mind, the noncorrupted half of my soul that was full of perfect buildings and architecture stirred awake. Though nobody was walking the streets I could still feel something inside each building as I focused on two buildings in particular.

"Champions Blessing," I whispered as the ground and air around me as my mana once again fused into the very soul realm around me and began to pollute it. Yet this time instead of black it turned a brilliant baby blue that was almost white as it seemed to purify the ground and air around me like a brilliant aura. With that two globes of light appeared in the middle of the Omega, one was pure gold and the other was a copper-green color. They quietly floated in the air for a moment before shooting right toward the Omega symbol.

As they did a new golden red and green copper mana flooded into the Omega symbol and twisted with the blue and black mana. Yet they never mixed as they made a beautiful display in the Omega me as I felt a rush of new mana flood my system. I couldn't help but let out a steaming breath that ripped apart the ground in front of me, seeing the scene I grinned as I glanced at a few notifications.

[You have activated the Blessing of Apollo the sun god, you have temporarily gained control of Tier 4 fire mana and gained a 25% resistance towards the element. This will last until mana is depleted.]

[You have activated the Blessing of Zeypher the western wind god, you have temporarily gained control of Tier 4 wind mana and gained a 25% resistance towards the element. This will last until mana is depleted.]

"Perfect," I said happily as I began to push the new types of mana through my body until they reached the spear in my hand, they then began to twist violently around one another as they crossed paths. Almost like two mortal enemies ready to fight at any moment, thankfully I was used to this as I put all the fire mana into the spearhead. While all the wind mana was collected in the shaft of the spear.

In a matter of moments the gold and silver spear now took on a different appearance entirely as it radiated pure destruction. The tip of the spear was now glowing pure white from the intense fire mana stuffed inside while the shaft was glowing copper green as it gave off violent bursts of wind. The entire spear shook in my grasp as it seemed ready to detonate at any moment with the huge amount of mana that was poured into it.

"Hmm... this deserves a name. How about... righteous judgment spear?" I said as the spear seemed to disagree with the name before shaking a bit more as I rolled my eyes. I was never really the best at this... I'm sorry Bob, I mean Iapetus.

"Then how about... Atomic."

*Buzz!*

"Slayer?"

*BUZZ!*

"Sky Destroyer?"

*BUUZZZ!*

"Fine fine how about something simple then, Apocalypse."

*HHMMM!*

"I made a skill?" I asked myself in surprise while looking down at the spear with wide eyes, then a question began to form in my head. Why didn't the Festival of Madness create a skill like this?

"Wait I remember the system saying this realm runs on different rules... maybe that is the reason why. Can you answer my question?" I couldn't help but ask out loud to Akashic as I saw a few boxes pop up.

"Well that is dumb, but it does help. For now, let's complete the task at hand." I said as my eyes focused on the cities in the distance, carefully selecting my target I placed the spear in the atlatl and began to back up a bit. With each step back the mana around me began to build as I slowly got into position. Finally, with one last step, I was wrapped in a tornado of soft mana as my eyes squinted and my body moved.

*BOOOOM!!*

*PHWWWWEEEEE!!*

In 5 running steps, I crossed the entire top of the mountain I was on creating the first sonic boom as my body twisted and released the spear as hard as I could. At that moment the second Boom intertwined with the first as the spear went airborne and broke apart the dusty red sky around me. Multiple shockwave rings ripped through the sky and mountain blowing everything back as I stood silently in place as the atlatl slowly crumbled in my hand.

Looking up through the hole in the sky I saw the 'sun' of this world for the first time as it gleamed in a brilliant and powerful light as if thanking me. After a moment I turned my eyes towards my spear as it disappeared into the perpetual layer of clouds covering this realm. My gaze then found the cities as I noticed several things happening at once, the first was 2 figures rising into the sky before releasing a huge amount of mana as they created a massive hexagon barrier above them.

"Seems I was found out, still... they are too weak," I said as a vicious grin spread across my face just in time for the spear to descend. In a single instant, the spear collided with the barrier and for a second it was stopped in its tracks. As it did the whole barrier was pushed down several hundred feet as the two Asura were forced down with it. During that second a lot happened as the spear kept pushing against the barrier and the mana pushing it forward didn't disperse.

Then one crack shot through the barrier followed by another and another, I was too far away to see the Asura's expression but I bet they were scared shitless as their barrier finally broke under the power of the spear. Finally, the spear was free of the barrier as it blasted through it and vaporized everything in its path before striking the ground.

It was almost too fast for even me to see as there was a flash of black and white light from the city before a massive explosion of white light filled my vision for a few seconds. After those few seconds were up a beautiful sight filled my vision, a dome of pure destruction and energy was rapidly spreading across the city, and before too long it engulfed the entire city and then the mountain. The clouds above it were not even safe either as they were also engulfed in the explosion as it ripped through everything it touched.

"Amazing," I whispered to myself when suddenly the soundwave finally hit as the whole mountain I was on shook violently. Yet I remained staring ahead as the dome of white light soon transformed into fire and smoke as a massive mushroom cloud filled the place where the city once stood. I didn't even pay attention to the thousands if not tens of thousands notifications about killing the Asuras.

"It truly lives up to its name! Apocalypse! You are truly a wonderful skill!" I yelled in joy as laughter started to escape my lips, a laughter that came from the deepest part of my corrupted self. Eventually had to turn away from the mushroom cloud and calm myself down as I tried to wipe the crazy grin from my face. Before I could though I began to sense several powerful auras coming my way, it seemed about to be 10 of them as I turned my gaze in their direction.

They covered the distance incredibly fast as I saw all of the Tier 3 Asura with faces full of pure anger. Seeing such a gaze made the madness inside me stir even more as I summoned another spear. My blood was boiling as I simply waited for them to come to me, I wanted nothing more than to tear these things apart. I wanted their blood to coat the ground like a carpet! I wanted to see their faces full of agony!

'Calm yourself.' Suddenly my internal voice quietly spoke as a coolness began to descend as my once rampant emotions were surprised. I couldn't help but blink at myself in surprise to find a red aura from my Asura's Rage skill had activated without me knowing. I couldn't help but take a deep breath as Taiji Will worked its magic and reorganized my mind.

"It seems I got too caught up in myself." I chastised myself as I let out a sigh of regret, if anyone I cared about had seen me in such a state they would have been disgusted. I need to be more careful in the future.

"Still... these idiots don't help the situation," I said swinging my spear as green mana wrapped around it in an instant before colliding with a red phantom image of a club. The image shattered in an instant as I took a shot forward colliding head-on with the Asura who seemed to be in a full rage state. My spear broke apart his clubs into shards of metal with one hit while three of his arms broke from the impact alone, yet he seemed unphased as he let out a roar of anger that shook the sky.

Swinging his remaining three good fists at me I simply swung my spear against as the three arms were sliced off. Before another Asura could get close to us I took aim and moved my spear so fast only a sharp light was seen that cut down into the mountain range below cutting the mountain in half. Turning towards my next opponent I shot towards them as the previous Asura started to freefall with a face still full of anger, yet he didn't make a sound as a red line appeared right down his center as he split into two halves of a corpse.

"So slow!" I roared as my spear suddenly shifted into a Greek sword and swung at an Asura who was wielding 6 huge sabers. My mana color suddenly shifted to red as the bronze blade began to glow white hot. In a single swing, my blade cut through all 6 sabers with extreme ease as it left behind red hot halves on each piece of them. Twisting my whole body my foot kicked downward faster than the Asura could move as it slammed right down on his skull making his head sink into his torso, killing him instantly, as his body crashed down into a mountain below.

"All of you are so slow, it's almost boring," I said as I pooled copper-green mana beneath my feet stopping myself from falling as I began to silently float. The other 8 Asura surrounded me as their mana came off them in huge waves and their anger continued to sore. All of them were in a full rage state as well, this should make things a little more entertaining.

"Come all at once or you won't have a chance," I said as all 8 let out a huge roar that made me wince a little as I felt a mental debuff get thrown my way. I simply narrowed my eyes as I reared my head back and used Scream of Madness that blocked all their combined roars and seemed to make them back up a little.

"HAHAHA!" I couldn't help but laugh at their reactions before shooting forward while slicing out a compressed fire mana blade that seemed to catch the very air on fire. In an instant a shield using Asura appeared in front of the Asura it was launched towards.

*BOOM!*

A huge fireball erupted in the sky as I started to massacre the Asura around me, my blade moved swiftly and easily through the air. With each swing, a weapon was shattered into pieces or sliced in two. With each mana blade, a new eruption of fire filled the sky and a charred corpse fell from the sky, nothing these beasts threw at me good enough. I even allowed one Asura to strike my chest plate with all six fists causing a huge eruption in the sky with me in the middle.

Yet when the fire and energy cleared I was still in the same spot I was previously without a scratch on me. Instead, the Asura was left with 6 shattered arms and a fear-filled face. I couldn't help but reveal a crazy smile as I plunged my arm through his chest and ripped out his heart in a gush of blood. Yet not a single drop of blood seemed to stay on my armor, it simply rolled off as I remained completely clean.

"Finally, the last one," I said with a sigh as I floated toward a struggling Asura who only had two arms and one leg left. He tried to fly away from me yet he was simply too slow as I gave a slow chase behind him. Like a cat playing with its food, I never went for the kill and only battered him up a bit more as the Asura struggled through the air. Finally, he seemed to run out of mana as he flew towards a mountain not too far away and I slowly landed myself.

"W-What do you want?" He yelled at me in a desperate and panic-filled tone as I chuckled a little bit before locating a rock not too far away. With a soft swing of my sword and a kick of my foot, the bolder became a nice seat for me as I sat down and watched the bleeding-out Asura. I also dispersed my helmet as well allowing the Asura to see my face for the first time.

"What do I want? I want a lot of things but it depends on who is asking." I said while resting my hands on my sword as the Asura looked at me like I was crazy.

"I- I can give you weapons! I can even give you food! Whatever it is I can get it for you!" He yelled at me, all I did in response was shake my head as he gritted his teeth together in frustration. He continued to shout off things yet I kept shaking my head as he grew more desperate until I finally decided to speak.

"The only thing I want from you is a memory, I can feel a certain residual aura on you from a person I am looking for. Now tell me, have you met any stunningly beautiful women lately?" I asked as the Asura shook in fear from the look in my eyes. The air even began to crack with energy as my mana slipped out and started to crack the ground around us both.

"Y-YES I HAVE!" He shouted as fast as he could, I couldn't help but let a smile appear on my lips after hearing his words. At the same time the pressure I was giving off lessened as the Asura let out a small breath of relief.

"Tell me everything," I said with a smile that made the Asura shake a bit as his mouth opened but no words came out. His brows furrowed together a bit as he seemed to be trying to remember something but couldn't quite remember it.

"I... I know that I have! B- But I can't r- remember anything. P- Please spare me! I will try to remember!" He managed to get out as I stared at him with no change in expression as he desperately tried to remember, blood tears even began to run down his eyes as he began to have a mental breakdown in pure fear.

"Hmm..." With a light hum from me with a small tapping of my fingers he grew more frantic as his blood tears increased, he even began to punch himself in the face as if trying to jostle a memory. Seeing him in such a state I simply sighed as I stood up while pulling my blade out of the ground. With each step closer to him the Asura punched himself harder and cried harder until I was right before him.

"WAIT! I REMEMBER!" He shouted suddenly I raised an eyebrow as he nodded frantically, his face now full of bruises and broken teeth.

"A scent! She smelled like... cinnamon and fruit." He said after making sure he was correct I stared down at him for a bit before a truly happy smile graced my lips. It seems even with his memory erased he was still able to hold onto a few things.

"Excellent, now tell me. Where is this place you met her?" I asked him as he nodded frantically.

"It was at out our capital city to the west. It is the largest Asura stronghold and city in the region of desolation." He quickly replied as I nodded a few times thinking for a moment.

"So where exactly is this capital?" I asked as the Asura instantly pointed West My eyes followed his finger.

"I- It is a 5-hour run from here, faster if you are flying." He quickly reported as I nodded happily, with that I started to walk in that direction before slowly floating into the sky.

"You are free to go," I said waving my hand and summoning my helmet again as the Asura thanked me several dozen times before shooting off toward the city that was next to the one I just destroyed. Glancing that way all I saw was a massive smoking crater where the city and 6 other surrounding mountains were.

"You may be free to go but that doesn't mean the city you reside in is," I said with a grin as a new spear and atlatl appeared in my hands.

LINEBREAK:

???? POV:

*Sigh*

"Has any news from the scouts come back yet?" I asked with a slight impatience to my tone as I glanced at the two Asura Blood as he shook his head.

"There has been none mistress, it is best to assume they are dead. Our earlier guess was correct, it seems that it is the other person who was issued the quest." He said as my ears perked up a bit at the information before taking a sip of a gourd that was filled with a very sweet and delicious alcohol inside. A simple sip was enough to make my soul buzz with energy, I couldn't help but lick my lips at the taste, if there was one thing these Asura were good for it was making booze.

[You have consumed 24oz of Istor Fruit Soul Wine, Mana +2]

"Fantastic news! Hopefully whoever it is picked up on the little hint I left for them. In the meantime how long will it be until everyone from the surrounding cities is gathered?" I asked taking another sip of the wine and enjoying the flavor yet again.

"Everyone should be gathered here in the next hour, we have set up a pretense that we are holding a festival to celebrate the Great One. No matter who the Asura is they would never disrespect the Great One by now showing up." He said with a respectful tone as I nodded before standing up and stretching, a few pops even came from my back and knees as I did. I had been sitting for far too long and gorging myself on far too many snacks, anymore of that and I was sure my soul was going to have a bit of indigestion if that was even possible.

"Then shall we go greet the guest?" I asked with a charming smile that caused Blood to be momentarily stunned by it as I rolled my eyes. I was already over these beings called Asura and was tired of their gazes, unfortunately, I couldn't kill them just yet. But in one more hour that would change.

After Blood straightened himself he led the way I followed him through his massive residence that doubled as a huge castle. Though the architecture was crude and simple it did have a little bit of elegance to it but it was far from what I was used to. Regardless I continued following Blood, occasionally we would run into an Asura traversing the halls though. None were under my control yet so I had a bit of work ahead of me.

Be it a simple hello or smile from me along with an invisible veil of my mana their minds were caught in my snare, even Tier 3 Asura were caught in less than a few seconds and turned into perfect lap dogs. I simply gave them a few hidden orders before sending them on their way as Blood and I finally reached a balcony that overlooked a large part of the city. From the last time I saw it to now the whole city took on a different look, the streets were now packed as Asura mingled with each other as some set up decorations and other things.

"I have to hand it to you Blood you did a good job." I complimented my little puppy as Blood gave a firm nod yet a proud look still made its way to both his faces.

"Anything for you mistress, I hope it is up to your standards even though it was rushed." He said as I nodded with a small smile. I honestly didn't care that much about the festival but still gave it a scan over just in case. In all honesty... it was gaudy and ugly in all aspects, I don't think there was a single Asura with artistic talent who knew about proper festivals in this place. Even demons were better than this including the more mindless tribes like goblins.

"It will do, now go and attend to your duties and finish with everything. Once everyone is here bring them to the arena, from there I will show you that spectacular site I promise you." I commanded as he quickly nodded before flying away and disappearing from my site, after he did I let out a large sigh and sat down on a small chair on the balcony. With no Asura able to see me and with nobody beside me I was able to relax for the moment as I let my gaze drift over the horrendous decorations, though the Asura didn't seem to mind their ugliness one bit.

'At least use other colors than just red!' I inwardly yelled at them but simply let out a huff of annoyance, it almost made me want to start the blood bath early. As my eyes continued to scan around I suddenly felt a light presence that was different than anything else in this city. My eyes quickly went up toward the sky where the presence resided, yet all I saw was a thick layer of red-tinted clouds. The presence also didn't move an inch as I continued to stare up at it for a bit before pursing my lips together, so this was the game they wanted to play.

"You finally roll up to my doorstep and then you decided to be all mysterious? How cliche! Don't you know it is rude to keep a woman waiting? I was about to settle the tab and go somewhere else you so so late! Why did you stop there, come on come down already! Or did you get cold feet by chance after finally seeing me? Do I scare you?"

*Devilish giggle*

"Maybe you summoned me because of past grudges thinking I was easy prey, then come to find that I'm stronger than little old you. How pathetic! Or is it my beauty? I know I am a stunning beaut, not that you already haven't noticed that already. Are you just gonna let me talk or do I have to come up there and-." As I chastised the presence inside the clouds my words suddenly were caught in my throat as I saw the figure finally descent down from the clouds.

In an instant, I felt lost as my heart began to rapidly beat in my chest and my mind froze. My thoughts became jumbled, I didn't know what to think at this moment. All I could feel was a surge of emotions both unwanted and wanted, so many feelings that I swore I threw away or bottled up came up from deep inside me. Yet all I could do was stare in disbelief as a figure clad in silver and blue armor with golden trimmed and a black and blue Greek omega made of mana descended from the sky.

Ever so slowly the figure landed on the other end of the balcony from me and my heart felt like leaping out of my chest. The two of us stood in complete silence for a moment as my eyes scanned his armor and my emotions swelled even more. It was the same as before back then, down to the last detail, painful emotions flooded my heart with that alone.

"I'm sorry I made you wait so long, that was rude of me." His metallic voice made me jump a bit as he slowly reached up to his helmet and took it off everything stopped in my mind. Black wavy hair, a short stubbly beard, calm and soothing sea green eyes, a devilishly handsome face that would make even true devils shrink back. My whole body trembled at the site, yet one of my hands unconsciously clenched into a fist at it as well.

"It's been a minute hasn't it Pipes... I like your horns. They look beautiful on you." He said with a nervous smile and a light compliment as I finally reached my peak, in an instant my mana flared causing the whole area around us to crack and break under its pressure.

Seeing my outburst he seemed a bit surprised and only backed up a few steps as he bore the brunt of my mana as it continued to grow in pressure. The building beneath our feat even began to disintegrate from the sheer amount of it as my emotions went wild. While gritting my teeth together I couldn't help but shoot the stunned man a glare that would kill lesser beings, a red sword then appeared in my hand and began to fiercely glow as I prepared myself to fight this THING in front of me.

"How DARE you use Percy's face! Was last time not a good enough lesson for whoever the fuck you are? I will make sure your soul burns for eternity! I will FUCKING KILL YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO CONTINUES TO PLAY THIS STUPID FUCKING GAME!"
