A talk with a witch
next chapter in a couple of hours
=========
flying in a bullhead was actually relaxing to be honest...as an former seraphim he had three pair of wings and he can could fly with them but using a vehicle wasnt that bad...it was slower but more relaxing.
and besides in his current form he doesnt even have his wings...actually thats a good question what happened to his appearance? can he change back?
'hey system'
[yes?]
'can i change back to my "original form?"
[Of course! you just need to think about it and you will change into your "original form"]
so its like that huh? well its good to know that he can still use his wings when it will be needed.
Pilot: we are getting close get ready!
well time to get out i guess. he couldnt fly all the to Salem castle because Ozpin wanted to keep all this a secret even if she would die today, and all of this will not matter anymore. the Headmaster told him that he will fly on the bullhead as close as possible but the rest of the way he will need travel alone...which was no longer a problem since he discovered that he can use his wings.
Pilot: okay we are landing!
and when the bullhead was on the ground Lucifer took a shoulder bag that he bought before he flew away. the bag was not normal however...it was enchanted with the same enchantment that Ozpin mug was meaning that it was infinite!
at first it was a little problematic because this world magic system is a little different than the one from his world, but he managed to create a exact copy of the enchantment but with the use of Prana. hell if he would not be able to copy the enchantment considering he is someone who studied magic for million of years he would just slap himself to death
(A/N: so basically a bag of holding but with infinite space)
when he get out and the bullhead flew away he then decided to try and change his form
and with just a though he felt similar sensation on his back and he soon saw that he was wearing his armor and he also quickly checked if he still had horns with the help of his hand. yup still there!
after a quick check up he flew into the air and took out a map that Ozpin gave him. after checking the map he started to fly in the direction of Salem castle.
on the way he also saw some of these Grimm he heard about. he was surprised because they are made of "Pure Darkness" just like he heard but...
Lucifer: weak...calling them "demons" is just an insult to actual demons.
and just like that he flew away while shaking his head.
---Salem POV---
well this is interesting...a boy with three pair of wings, a pale almost white skin and a black armor was flying toward her castle...she knew this because she had seen him trough the eyes of the grimm near her castle. and she was very curious on what he was...
when she saw him, even if it was only for a second as he flied past one the grimms that she was using to observe him...she felt the urge to bow. HER! bowing! and not only her either! all of her grimm that saw the boy also bowed in the direction he flew away.
'he had wings so does that mean he is a Faunus? the Faunus are human with an animal trait and i never heard of an animal with three wings and horns...he could be hybrid. but that does not mean why i feel the urge to bow to him...'
her thoughts were interrupted as she heard the sound of the doors opening. now on the other end of her throne room she saw the very same boy that she saw trough her grimm's
when she saw him she lowered her head slightly...no matter how hard she tried her body reacted on its own and she kept her head lowered for a couple of seconds before the urge to bow to him went away
she felt humiliated...her the queen of grimm bowing to a teenager...
---Lucifer POV---
when he walked into the castle he was at first stopped by a Faunus with a scorpion tail saying something about taking out the garbage from his mistress home but he died quickly before he could even react.
soon he found a large door that looked like the entrance to the throne room so he opened it and entered it. at first he just wanted to wait for Salem in there but that was not necessary as she was already there sitting on her throne and she...bowed to him? after a couple of seconds she raised her head and an awkward silence filled the room...
Lucifer: Salem, i assume?
Salem: indeed, Now may i know who you are and why are you in my castle?
Lucifer: my name is Lucifer and i was send here to kill you.
Salem: in that case you can go back, its impossible...believe me i tried...
oh? this was interesting. she was suicidal? does she want to die? if so then why bothering with wiping out humanity? revenge? boredom? hobby?
Lucifer: ah! i get it.
Salem: hmm?
Lucifer: you want to destroy humanity so Ozpin- no, Ozma will not have to reincarnate into anyone and pass to the after life right? he will have no other choice since all the humans are gone.
it made sense. Ozpin will reincarnate into another human after his death so if there are no humans his soul will have no choice and go into the after life
Lucifer: *chuckle* of all the motives that you could have this was the one at the end huh?
...love...again with this idiotic emotion...he spend trillions of years thinking about it, in that black void and he still could not fully comprehend it
Lucifer: *sigh* i'm starting to think that no matter how much i try, i will never be able to understand you mortals
Salem didnt say anything and just stared at Lucifer with a stunned look...he knew? about Ozma? about her? who is he!?...and how could he guess her reason to wipe out humanity so quickly? was it that obvious...?
Lucifer: if i kill you then the curse will be lifted from him. this life will be his last.
Salem: i told you. i cannot be killed.
Lucifer: you body cannot be killed. but your soul can be.
as he said that he summoned his Noble phantasm [Blades of the Abyss] the two jagged swords gave of an weird feeling...it was Ominous, Chaotic, Dark...Powerfull...to powerful. it felt as just a cut with those blades would kill you
not only that Salem who was one of the people that could use magic in this world has also sensed the ridiculous amount of Magic that they possessed. when she saw those blades her body tensed up...she felt...fear.
Lucifer: those blades of mine are able to destroy the soul of any living being. if you want i can use them on you not leaving even a single fragment of your soul. you will die and Ozma will be free...but your soul will cease to exist and you will not be able to go to the afterlife, actually you will not be able to go anywhere it will be Darkness for all eternity...
Salem: i accept.
her response was instant she didnt hesitate one bit. She still wanted to get revenge on those sh*ty god's that put her in this situation but she is willing to let them go if it means that Ozma will free. she still loved him even after all that happened.
true she was angry at him when he tried to run away with their children and that anger only grew when they died due to her fight with him...but she could not be angry forever...after some years passed she started to realize that it was her fault also...the regret she felt...the regret that she was feeling to this day.
she wanted to compensate this for him and made a plan to free him, she didnt care about the cost even if she will need to kill countless innocents. only he mattered...
She stood up and walked to the young man, and when she was right in front of him she got on her knees and lowered her head waiting for him to end her life.
Lucifer: are you sure?
Salem: ...yes...
Lucifer: *walks away*
...
...
...
...
...
...
Salem: Wait! what are you doing!?
Lucifer: i ask of you to wait just a couple of days longer. a week at most, until then *looks at Salem* try not to kill anyone ok? *exits the castle*
Salem: ........ (WHAT THE F-)
---back to Lucifer---
Lucifer: *sigh* it looks like i will fail my first mission...
