Ishar… So if it's like that, phisto's hierarchy in the Eight Layer of Hell is Ishar, Bael, his dukes, and Princes. For Ishar to be so valuable to phisto, she is a threat.
"During Ishar's draconian rule over the Eight Layer of Hell, the maiden discovered how to turn others into what she was. But her only options were demons, destroying her bloodline before it took off. Devils and Demons were all corrupted beasts; this was where the bloodline especially began to decline. As with each generation, she found that her people were growing weaker and weaker till what you know to be vampires were born."
'No more did they feast on the soul or the heart of any known realm, but like savages, they began to feast on blood. They lost our Astral ability but gained an inhumane body vastly superior to the Ilthadians."
"The Kings of Hell are fearful of a repeat of the past," I said, and Yornen nodded.
"It's as you say. Zargon has already stated that his people are beginning to recover past knowledge. Ishar's rule was sothing that will be a part of the Fourth Heavens Lore for a long ti to co." Said the Ilthad. " And it is sothing that needs to be feared. Amara and Ishar, the Twin Queens of Blood, are said to have mastered the Laws of Blood to such a degree that even the strongest intent cannot stop them from being killed. Their bodies need to be atomized, or they'll be back."
That is similar to a Teleth. Could the Primary Law in the Teleth be Blood Laws?
Blood Laws are the highest degree of what we mortals can do in a land governed by the One and the All. It's through Blood Laws that we can take our bodies from being average and manipulate them into sothing that rivals higher-level entities.
Vancurro had done sothing similar. His race was one of the supre races in terms of physical attacks. He was a beast in Hand-to-Hand combat. He could tank so of the most insane spells, but his soul was weak. It was only through Blood Laws that he was able to destroy such a weakness.
The body made under the Laws of the One or the All are designed for unimaginable things. Blood Laws essentially tap into that power.
It is Blood Laws that make Demons so feared throughout Hell and rivals to Devils. While I fail to grasp Blood Laws in the beginning, demons attain unrivaled bodies through their Blood.
Haha, I guess Amara and Ishar were the MCs of their era.
"So I propose an alliance. I know you're invading the Hells. You need resources." Said the Ilthad
"You might represent the Court of Nox, but you don't own it. You can't just openly give resources." I replied, folding my arms over one another.
Yornen showed a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, " True, but that's for to worry about. All I ask is that you take care of at least one King of Hell, Zargon. He should be critically injured. Although, I wasn't sure you weren't either."
"I'm built different," I mused. " But that alliance doesn't work for . I'm taking on all the dangers. While you're just—"
'Arsene, do realize while I might be in a tough spot, you are in a way worse situation. Eight Lords of Hell exist within the Nine Hells at this mont. You can take my help and assist with my venture to kill the Kings with the resources and so intel I gathered, or we can go around in circles."
Yornens words made my lips tug downwards as I stared at his features tempting to take a hamr to his skull.
"You think I'm trapped?"
"Attacking the Hells was quite the risk. And I think you underestimated them. While I've no doubt you can win, it will co down to how long it'll take for you to win. And let's say you lose. Let's say another party like Oblivian decides to join the Hells. I heard your wife annoyed the Pale Lord. Let's say they join the Hells. You'd have no chance of winning. And even if you did. Noctem would be so defenseless you'd lose your kingdom in a matter of years."
Thinking over everything, sothing suddenly clicked within my mind as I stared dead into Yornens eyes.
"How do you know the Pale Lord? Lilith said Cleo and Kurt were the only ones in that room aside from the Pale Lord herself."
He chuckled, lifting his lips. "What do you think the goal of all Ilthad is Arsene? You know we are connected almost like the Abyssal Fiends. We have many connections with the Eternals. And The Pale Lord just so happens to be one of our Masters."
"Eh?"
"Join , and I'll tell you a secret." he taunted, narrowing his eyes with a victorious glint. "One that has to do with your children."
His words made flinch, but I showed nothing outside as I allowed the silence to perate into our bones.
This bastard had . Was this a weakness? Or was it a smart move? Seems it wasn't just the Hells I underestimated. The Ilthad are dangerous but vital.
"You've got a deal," I said with a voice filled with astral force connected to the hells, locking our alliance in place.
"Always nice doing business, don't you think?"
"Just get on with it."
"Well, you see, it wasn't just your children that were blasted back through ti and space. The Eternals were, as well. Had the Pale Lord awakened from her first slumber in this world, she would have slaughtered every last Forsaken and bathed the Myriad Heavens with their blood."
"Eh?"
"You think the sins of your ancestors have been washed away? Sealed my people Kings and Queens were. Locked into an eternal slumber by the Forsaken. It is only due to the actions of the Twins that you live to this day. Why do you think we help you? Why do you think the Ilthad exists? It is to guide your children."
"To repay our debt, we will assist the enemy."
… What the Hell did my mother's people do?
