"Why aren’t you breaking these chains off?" Lamia asked.
"I will, eventually. But there are so things that need to be cleared first." As replied.
Miles away from Umbrage, in a small forest, As and the other two were sitting around a fire inside a small cave. There was boar at on long sticks stuck on the ground around the fire, being cooked slowly.
"It’s delicious big brother As! Can I have so more?" Kiba asked excitedly, chewing on the boar at with content.
He had shed all the boundaries and treated As as his big brother now, as As had won him over with all kinds of delicious foods.
"Take as much as you want." As smiled at Kiba as he affird.
Kiba was ecstatic and excitedly pulled out another stick and started eating. He gobbled it up with a smile, even tough the at was still a bit raw.
Lamia had a disgusted look on her face, as she looked at Kiba. This ek and child like character was the sa one, who had devoured living humans whole a day earlier. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t get comfortable with the two personalities inside this one man.
"Why did you get out of the prison?" Lamia decided to ignore Kiba and shifted her focus back on As.
"Because I need you."
"For what?"
"For my vengeance. I’ll need your talents, since you’re the best spirit beast summoner I’ve t till now."
"What do I get in return for helping you?" She asked,
"You get to live." As said with a smirk.
Silence stretched between them, her head gazing on the ground, sitting without a word.
Just then, she hit the at stick in her hand on the rock she was sitting on, leading to it breaking in half, leaving it with a pointy edge. She imdiately pounced at As as the chains rattled, aiming the pointy stick with a piece of at still on it, towards As’s neck.
The stick stopped right before touching As’s skin.
"You’re overestimating yourself Lamia." The naraka from As’s coat had morphed into three needles. One aid below her chin, one at her heart and the last one, pricking at her arm as a drop of blood trickled down, falling on the ground.
"You pushed in that hell when you wanted to be a hypocrite justice seeking bastard, and now you give an olive branch when you fell like acting the villain. Why should I help you, you pathetic fucker!"
The shadow behind As then extended back and small bluish black pair of flas ignited inside the shadow. Slowly a pair of flas rose out of the shadow, letting Lamia get a clear look.
The flas were burning inside the sockets of the eyes of a skeleton head. It climbed out of the shadow and took a knee as it bowed towards As. Lamia’s eyes opened wide, it was quite a shock for her.
"Y-You’re a necromancer!?"
"I’m death itself." As proclaid in a cold voice.
"Either you join alive, or you join in death. The choice is yours."
Lamia gritted her teeth in frustration. She gazed into As’s eyes, as they were unwavering and cold. She realized As was serious. A sigh escaped her; she moved her hand back and went back to her seat.
The naraka dissolved their needle form and assimilated back into As’s coat. The skeleton moved back inside the shadow and it retracted back into the original shape.
"I have a condition though. You have to help kill soone. You know who I’m talking about." Lamia said.
"I’ll kill him anyway. He plotted against and tried to end too."
Lamia was surprised when she heard that.
"So, he hasn’t changed his ways till now." Lamia chuckled. "Alright. I’ll join you."
"A wise decision." As smiled.
Naraka then condensed in the form of a small dagger and he made a cut on his palm. Blood flowed out, As then waved his hand and a few drops combined together into a sphere and floated over the fire.
"Show your palm." As asked Lamia.
"What are you gonna do?" she asked, skeptical.
"A blood pact, so that neither of us can betray each other."
Lamia hesitated at first but then agreed as it could ensure that both of them keep their promise. She moved her palm forward and a dagger made of naraka ca towards her and made a cut on the palm.
Blood condensed into a sphere and it then moved towards the sphere made from As’s blood and mixed into each other. A crimson runic circle ford throughout the area of the sphere.
"I vow that I’ll help you kill Acheron Vamos, in return, you’ll join my team and help in my endeavors, and never betray ." As spoke in a loud voice.
"I vow that I’ll join your team and help you in your endeavors, and never betray you. In return you shall kill Acheron Vamos for ."
The sphere glowed bright and separated into two spheres again and zood towards both of their hearts, moving through the skin and getting engraved on the heart as a seal.
The naraka dagger then cut the chains and cuffs, freeing Lamia.
"Finally!" Lamia roared as she felt free for the first ti in years.
Green mana then started condensing in her hands. A runic circle ford on the ground behind her, and a huge moth of about four ters long wingspan, beautiful glowing crimson wings appeared out of the circle.
The moth then wrapped itself around Lamia, turning into a beautiful crimson robe and the head morphed into a hood with two eyes at the edge of the hood. It was like she was wearing a robe that is alive.
"WOW!!" Kiba finally lifted his head up from eating and exclaid seeing the beautiful sight.
Crimson spores like dust fell all over Lamia’s body and all the dirt and wounds vanished, revealing her clear and spotless brown skin. Her hair tied into a braid itself.
"What help do you need then?" She asked As.
"Summon your ride. We’re going to a place to level up first."
Mana moved out of her and ford a huge runic circle on the ground.
ROAR!
A humongous beast with a snake like body of about seven ters long, dark blue scales all over, no hands or legs, with a flat dog like face and mane around its head like a lion, ca out of the circle and blasted through the cave ceiling and out in the sky.
As casted a shield around the three of them, as the debris from the ceiling slid off below.
The beast turned around and poked its head inside the cave through the hole, brought its face near Lamia and started licking her cheeks with its tongue.
"Aiyoo!! my cutie Bo." Lamia rubbed its face and petted him as it kept licking her lovingly.
"OOHH!! Can I eat it! It looks damn tasty!" Shatun had taken over and he was drooling looking at Bo with his eyes opened wide.
"I’ll kill you fucker." Lamia looked threateningly at Shatun as Bo whimpered and shrinked back in fear.
"Let’s move!" As said.
"Where?" Lamia asked curious.
"The Samahan deserts."
