Chapter 5 - Daemon, The Crimson Blade II

(Third Person POV)

Aria was looking at this, "That spell..." She said, "Mother, is that....no, it's not exactly Black Magic, but it feels like it." 

They were looking at the red magic circle that was slowly disappearing from sight. It had several glowing runes on the rim, which is where the flames had sprouted from. 

Celysse took a step forward, "Daemon, wait." She said, "Do not do what I think you are going to do!" 

Daemon pointed his sword at the man who was on the ground, "For them to threaten you with rape, it is unacceptable." He said, "My White-Haired Mother informed me that the Red-Haired Idiot left for an expedition. So I must do my duty as the Son and return. And here I am, finding nothing but filthy swine on my doorstep." 

"A-Arghh...." the man said, overwhelmed by pain

Daemon tilted his head, "What say you, mongrel?" 

"Kill him!!" the others shouted as they drew their daggers and tried to rush Daemon

Suddenly, they were all cut into several pieces, blood spraying out as they collapsed to the ground. 

Celysse widened her eyes in shock, "D-Daemon?!" She exclaimed, "N-No, that was not him." 

"I said it, did I not?" Daemon said, "Filth is for my servants to clean up." 

From the ground, a shadowy blob emerged, a figure breaking through it, revealing a young-looking woman with black hair and red eyes. She was wearing a revealing outfit, which showed her curvaceous body; her wide hips, large ass, and large breasts. Her top was cropped on the middle, having only a few buttons closed, revealing her cleavage. She wore black leather pants that were ripped slightly on the thighs. She had a short black leather jacket over her top, which had some strange markings on them. 

Celysse narrowed her eyes, feeling a strange sensation come from this woman, her straight black hair flowed in the breeze as she stood there. 

"My Lord." the woman said as she flicked her hair, "These filthy apes were threatening to attack you, I had no choice." 

"Good girl." Daemon said, "As expected of you." 

The woman walked over to the tall man who was still alive, only groaning in pain. She stomped on his back and pointed her open palm at the back of his head. 

"Do not ever speak to Lord Daemon like that again." The woman said, a vicious expression on her face, "You are naught but an inferior piece of filth, not worth being spoken to him." 

The woman's hand began to glow a crimson light. 

"Blood Cutter" 

In a split second, three slashes made out of what looked like blood fired off at the back of the man's head. However, instead of hitting the man's head, they bounced off what looked like a barrier made out of light. 

"Hm?" the woman said as she looked up to see Celysse pointing her finger at her, "What is the meaning of this?" 

Celysse was frowning, "Aria, close his wounds. We hand him over to the Paladins." She said, "Daemon, step away from him." 

Daemon looked at her, "Woman." He said with a serious expression, "You would let him live?" 

"I think he learned his lesson." Celysse said, "Aria, heal the man's wounds." 

Aria sighed and walked over to him, "Only the bare minimum." She said as she snapped her fingers and a white light orb appeared in front of her, "That is all. Let the Paladins and Clerics to worry about his life." 

She waved her hand, and the orb floated down at the man's legs, his wounds closing as he groaned in pain.

"Daemon." Celysse said, "I mean it. Step away. This is enough bloodshed." 

Daemon faced her, "It is never enough bloodshed." He said, "Woman, I came at your behest. I find filthy swine threatening my brethren and I did as I was expected to! I destroyed the threat!" 

"I..." Celysse sighed, "I understand. But this is too cruel...especially when its in front of your sisters." 

"I'm okay with it." Aria said

"I know you are." Celysse said, "Not you. I meant the others." 

The black-haired woman stepped forth, "Is this Lady Celysse?" She asked, "The War-Sorceress?" 

Celysse looked at her, "That is I." She said, "And you are?" 

The woman knelt down and looked down, "I am just a humble servant of Lord Daemon, The Crimson Blade. He, who destroyed Asmodeus's cult, and dominated the high-level mages within their ranks. We serve his power, his greatness." 

"O-Oh...." Celysse said softly

"That's weird." Aria frowned

Daemon said nothing, simply stared at his mother. 

"I am Gloria." The woman said, "A humble vassal of Lord Daemon, son of Lady Celysse and Lord Arthor. He is royalty, of course." 

"Of course I am." Daemon spoke up, "I am the Prince of-" 

"Shut up, please." Aria scowled, "That has gotten old, brother." 

"Royalty...." Gloria stood up and gently ran her hand up his arm, "For being the son of two legendary heroes...." 

There was a slight blush in her face as she looked at Daemon, who simply stared ahead. Both Aria and Celysse were immediately flustered by this. 

"O-Oh....." Aria said, "Brother, damn...." 

Celysse cleared her throat, "D-Daemon, I am glad you are here..." She said, "I truly am, but we have so much to speak about. Can we go in and talk? Your sisters miss you dearly, you should see them." 

"Gloriosa and I have much to do in the town." Daemon turned around, "I will come back when we are finished." 

"What?" Aria said, "What's your deal?" 

"I am a busy man." Daemon said, "I have returned, that is all you have to know. I will be back shortly, worry not." 

"Wait." Celysse said, "Before you go, tell me what that magic was. That was not Black Magic, Daemon. Please tell me you didn't do anything foolish. You know the dangers of threading into the occult, I have done nothing but teach you that!" 

Daemon looked at her, "Hmph." He said, "I was ridiculed for a long time, woman. Being the son of the War-Sorceress and still unable to live up to her expectations. Well, that ends now. For I have created a power exclusive to me, the Prince of Lust. I have created a type of magic that merges both White and Black Magic! My own personal power, with an arsenal so great that everyone will quiver to its power!!" 

"Grey Magic!!"
