Chaos Devourer System: My Classless Ascension - Chapter 48 - 47:I DARE YOU!!
A/N: hello everyone, some changes have been made to Chapter 44, I told you guys I’d rework it, and I did. Especially the bloodline and talent ranks, they’ve been overhauled and replaced.
The last ones felt too "endgame" level, the new ones fit in better, I think.
Do check out the reworked Chapter and let me know what you think..
Endeavor to do so.. thank you..
Now let’s dive back in..
**********
Black Rose guild..
Raven’s office...
As Dante prepared himself in excitement, getting ready to devour a whole ass dragon.
Another meeting was about to take place.
One that concerned him and had far reaching consequences...
Raven stood within her office, the black one piece gown accentuating her figure, making her look both regal and seductive, without her even trying..
Her expression right now was one Dante wouldn’t be able to associate with the warm, teasing and playful aunt he’s used too.
It was cold..
Arctic ice cold..
Netherworld freezing cold..
Like she was about to meet someone or some people she’d give anything to rip to shreds..
"To think they’d actually use such a method to arrive this fast." Clarissa, standing next to her best friend and boss, couldn’t help muttering, her beautiful face creasing into a subtle frown..
"What’s so surprising about it?" Raven’s cold voice cut through the atmosphere..
"Damien has always been a snake through and through, so if something smells fishy in the city regulus had once lived in, the city his son, now calls home? Then of course the spineless coward would use all at his disposal to know what’s wrong" Raven’s voice was cutting, disdain and contempt coloring every syllable...
Hummmmmmm!!!!
Before Clarissa could reply, a soft hum resonated throughout the room...
The air shifted ..
Reality seemed to tilt as space folded in on itself..
Buzzzzzzz...
A swirling blue portal materializing soon after within the office room....
Woooosh!!!!
The portal flared once, a powerful aura wafting through, then finally settling into a quite swirling hum..
Raven stood, arms folded, expression cold as she watched the unwanted visitors make their way through the portal...
"Aunt Ravena, it’s truly been a long time. I wonder if you still remember me.." a young male voice came through the portal before the body could even be seen..
Following the voice was a young man, his hair a bright ocean blue, his eyes of the same color.
He wore a dragon patterned robe decorated with fine jewels and gems.
His hands were tucked into the wide sleeves of his robe as he stepped out of the portal in easy lazy steps..
His aura one of authority and dignity.
Clearly he was someone accustomed to power..
Behind him was an entourage of people, young adults, his age most likely, they flanked him the way stars would a moon..
And right behind the group of young men and women, were three elders, an old man and two middle aged women..
The auras around them made the air bend, reality shifting subtly whenever they moved..
Their presence was muted, almost as if they weren’t there, yet filled the whole room completely as if in control of the very air one breathes..
All this being just the world reacting to the presence the carry passively..
Clearly, this wasn’t any stage of power an SSS-rank being could operate on..
"We greet the Queen Of Space" the three adults spoke deferentially, heads bowed as they gave their greetings to Raven..
"I am no queen of yours, raise your heads and state your business" her voice was cold and unfeeling..
"Ouch... aunt ravena, your words wound me deeply. You couldn’t possibly have forgotten your family after staying in this dump for so long right?" The blue haired young man couldn’t help asking, voice smug and arrogant..
His statement drew snickers from his cohorts..
"I heard the space queen was quite fearsome, seems her reputation was muddied by spending too much time with wastes" an arrogant young man added...
Hearing the young man’s words, the three older figures’ faces paled, "My queen wait..." but before they could react.
Crack!!
Space folded in on itself.
And right where the previously arrogant young man stood, was left nothing but a gaping hole in reality, the dreadful chill of the void spreading through as the faces of all the youths in the room went ghastly white.
The blue haired young man stumbling backwards, almost tripping on his feet..
"Lady Ravena!!!!" One of the middle aged women yelled.. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
She didn’t get to finish..
Craaackkk!!!!
Space instantly became unstable as she was unceremoniously banished into the void..
Silence....
A thick, crippling silence took hold of the entire room..
The only source of sound being the whooshing noises coming from the crack in reality where the infinite void could be seen..
"Caelum.. do not speak to me like that again.."
"The only reason, little shit, you’re still alive, is because of my agreement with that spineless old fool that dares call himself my father"
"Now state your business, and leave..
You’re disrupting the affairs of my city.."
...
The blue haired youth was stunned speechless..
Never in his 20 years of life had he been this disrespected..
He’d jumped into the train the moment he heard they were going to see his long enstranged aunt, the pariah of their family.
He’d wanted to see what made this woman so fearsome that even some of the more powerful members of the family spoke her name with utter caution and fear..
He’d wanted see just what made th Queen of Space such a terror that even his patriarch father acted antsy whenever the topic involved her...
So he’d volunteered immediately to come.
After all, as the family’s once in a lifetime genius, he needed to expand his horizons all the more, especially now that he was going to Aeternum..
But what did he get after arriving?
His teeth clenched, rage bubbling beneath the surface...
His hands tightened until his knuckles turned white..
’Filthy whore!!!!!!!!"
He roared internally...
But outside? He composed himself..
He’d lost one of his cohorts and guardians, and this woman hadn’t even moved from her position..
It was clear who had the larger fist..
So taking a deep breath, he composed himself..
"Calling such a backwater place your city is an insult to the family, the ancestor will be deeply disap..." he’d tried to assert himself one last time, using the ancestor as leverage, but at that moment he felt it..
Death!
Inviolable.
Unavoidable.
All encompassing.
DEATH!!!
Space twisted and collapsed around his heart, but before it could claim him, a golden light shone around his form, illuminating the entire room...
"My, my... little sister, it seems your temper is still as vile as ever. Trying to kill your own nephew because he said a few words." A magnetic and charming voice came from the light..
The remaining two guardians and youths dropped to their knees.
"We greet The patriarch!!" The voices rose in reverence..
"Father!!!!" The blue haired youth, Caelum, yelled out with a ghastly pale face..
"Now now, boy, what did I tell you about manners before your aunt" the voice chided softly as the light slowly faded, revealing a man in a golden dragon robe, a dragon’s coat draped over his broad shoulders, his night-black hair falling freely framing a face of mature handsomeness though his brow furrowed in a bit of a sinister look, the sickening smile on his face never reaching his shifting eyes...
Raven’s expression soured even further as her eyes fixated on the figure before her..
"Damien... You Fucking Snake.."..
"Now, now, is that anyway to talk to your big brother? Hahahahaha....." the man laughed mockingly, as the atmosphere exploded..
Ravens aura filled the entire room, threatening to drown it in violence..
"Call yourself my brother, one more time.. I DARE YOU..."
