Chapter 299: Smart Investigator
Nala sat with her legs crossed and her eyes closed. Bright, green coloured wasp gathered around her. Kuthuya slowly ascended the stairs within the tower and into the bastion.
She opened her left eyes and closed it back.
"Do you have any of his possession I’ll need it for a seeking ritual" she said.
"No"
"I do have one, but it has been with
fir quite a long ti so I don’t know if it’s -
"It’s okay, bring it" Nala cut in as Sigrid was talking.
She took off a ring out of the many rings in her hand and passed it to Nala. Kuthuya looked.
"He didn’t give it to , I took, I like rings" she said showing off the rings on her finger."
"Oh" he said and nodded.
"I need absolute silence" Nala said as she began to chant with the ring inside her closed palm, she slowly opened her palms and the ring began to float on its own, the green light wisp gathered around the ring as her chant got fast and she began to glitch.
Sigrid watched with amazent, ’Wow, I’ve never seen such amazing magic...’ She said in her head.
Nala’s eyes opened, she began to pant heavily, and sweat. Kuthuya knelt beside her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I couldn’t find him"
"What do you an?" Sigrid said, hastily moving to her front.
"Be careful how you speak to
human" Nala said, sitting upright and staring at her. She looked at Kuthuya.
"One thing I am sure of is that he’s unconscious, if not his ego would have responded to my seeking, and the fact that he’s not in all the planes I searched only ans two things, either soone very powerful is keeping him from being found or...."
"...he’s in hell" Kuthuya ended her sentence. His expression was conflicted afterwards.
"If we go to hell, I can definitely find him again and then we can easily know which of the nine hell he’s at...but how do we go to hell without a gate?" She said looking at Kuthuya, she stood up.
"I’m sorry but this is the most I can do" she said and walked away.
"What do we do?" Sigrid said to Kuthuya.
He exhaled and sat down, "I promise his highness Jon to be back in two hours, the two hour is almost up" he said rubbing his face.
Sigrid was lost in thought for few seconds then-
"I think I have an idea!!" She yelled.
"Duchess Sigrid are you sure?" He said.
"Yes, I used to be in a contract with this demon called Onoskelis, everyti ti I summoned him to take control of my body, its always like a switch, like I go under and his cos up..."
"Okay?"
"What I’m saying is that line, when we are switching there is always a line where both of us cross each other...." she began to use her hand to illustrate, "...You know just like, when there is a finger up, a finger down, and then, the finger down wants to co up, the finger up wants to co down too, at this point both fingers et, that line where they cross each other..."
"...could serve as a gate...you are indeed brilliant Duchess Sigrid...but if I recall well, you said used to"
Sigrid’s countenance fell, "Yea...but I’m sure if I can repeat the sa thing and try to go under..."
"Without anything to co up, you will probably lose yourself, or more so be stuck in hell forever" Vishva said as she entered the Bastion. "Nala told "
"You are right but I have to try..." Sigrid said.
"Vishva is right it’s too risky, if His grace finds out I did sothing like that he would punish "
"Seeing as we both agreed on a particular subject, this Lord Reinard must be quite interesting" Vishva said looking at Kuthuya, her eyes then went over to Sigrid.
"I’ll help you..." she said.
"Oh thank you" Sigrid happily said.
"But if it takes more than twenty minutes I’m pulling both of you out."
"Both of us?" Sigrid confused said.
"Yes...Vishva can do sothing like make
go with you...it’s a complicated ability of hers" Kuthuya said.
"Looks like you atleast still rember how incredible I am"
"You an terrifying, the things you do"
’Are these guys really doing this in this mont’ Sigrid said in her head, "Okay shall we start" she said aloud.
She closed her eyes, ’please let this work, let this work, let this work, let this work, let this work, let this work, let this work!’
~whim~
Has she opened her eyes it turned void and black.
"I think she’s in" Kuthuya said.
"Of course, I can see.." she stretched her hands towards him. "Here. Take my hand. Since what she opened is like a mini gate we can only send in our souls." She said.
"Doesn’t that an we’ll be defenseless?"
"Who here wants to kill you?"
"Eshuna maybe"
"Watch it Kuthuya that guy is my comrades, that chose to stay when you chose to leave"
"I don’t get why you guys are angry because I chose to protect Lord Bahamut’s Pa–
~WHOOM~
His view changed as Kuthuya grabbed his hand.
...
With an appearance of a tall, dark-skinned humanoid with compound eyes resembling a fly and a pair of short black horns on his forehead. Baal stood, 9ft tall. His ceilings were tall enough to accommodate his height.
He stared at Reinard on the bed.
"Hmm, indeed Bayemon’s corruption" he said bending down to observe Reinard’s body, he adjusted the monocle on his right eye.
"So can you do it?"
"What do you take
for I’m the sixth in rank, the sixth strongest demon lord" Baal said.
"Well, as at when Bayemon was here I’m pretty sure you were still the ninth, if Bayemon was here you’d probably still be below him"
Baal stared at him, "do you think you can treat him on your own, you should probably treat him on your own" Baal said dusting his glove-d hands off.
Socho pinched Samael, "What are you doing, High one’s life is in danger...?" She whispered.
"I’m sorry, of course you Baal, is very strong, I look forward to to day you will be the first ranked demon...and the lord of all nine hells" Samael said.
"Yes yes, that is quite the expectation" Baal said tapping his shoulder.
Samael glared at Baal, saying in his head, ’take your hands off
you stinky bastard’
"Uh? Do you want to say sothing? Samael?"
"All I want to say is how mighty you are Duke Baal" he responded
Baal clapped and faced Rein, he touched the point Rein was stabbed and —
"Lord Baal, there seems to be an intruder?" A bearded, horned man-like giant with crimson skin, black hooves, and a tail, his eyes were green, and he spoke with a rich, persuasive voice.
Baal looked behind him while Samael sighed in frustration.
"An intruder on my plane?"
"Yes lord Baal"
"Bring them to "
"Yes Lord Baal" he said and disappeared.
Baal placed his hand on Rein’s wound and began to slowly take it away, the corruption followed his hand as a black smoke. The greenness on Rein skin slowly reduced as Baalzebul pulled out the corruption.
Socho and her sisters eyes were filled with excitent, including Rache who was almost teary.
The greenness completely disappeared and Baal controlled the corruption energy and ford it into a black ball rotating on his hand.
"To think I would get a trace of Bayemon’s energy..." he said and closed his eyes, "Hmm...it seems he’s half dead...but he’s taking his ti to heal"
"Wait he’s alive?!!" Samael exclaid.
Baal opened his eyes in shock and looked at Samael, "Why do you look so shocked about that?"
"Oh no...nothing" Samael said smiling at Baal, ’I ssed up, I know how quick-witted Baal can be...’
"What are you not telling
Samael?" Baal asked glaring into his eyes.
"I’ve told you all I know" Samael said staring back into Baal’s eyes.
"Sure you told , you suspected that Bayemon reduced himself to a lesser being in order to go to Abeir Toril on the day of Asmodeus banishnt, however he sohow knew that Asmodeus would be varnished and the universal gate would opened, which was why he didn’t use his own gate in the first place, because he couldn’t afford being powerless, so he slipped through the gate as a demonic beast while having the plan to use his beast will to regain himself...but you didn’t tell
of how this deity got corrupted by Bayemon and this level of injury, I’m sure Bayemon fought soone very strong...a group of people, spill it Samael"
’Ahhh....this crazy investigator, how can he be so smart...!! and its not that I can lie since he would discover that right away’
"Asmodeus was the one that fought him and bought us enough ti to escape, that is probably what you want to hear, happy now?"
Baal grinned, "So that crazy pest is still alive"
Rein slowly opened his blurry vision
