Scarlet
I let out a sigh as I lie in the bath, having taken off my clothes in the changing room and left them there already.
The water in here is so nice
You do rember why youre here, right? Tars voice echoes in my head and I just wave at him, finally no longer caring at all about him seeing without clothes on now that I know he really has no interest in a human body. That fae dont even really have physical forms in the first place. Or at least, not tangible ones that can be physically touched.
I continue soaking casually in the water for a few minutes before Tar says, You really should start.
That has frowning, only to eventually let out a sigh.
Well, now or never. At least I wont stink this ti.
[You have completed all the requirents to reach Class III. Would you like to ascend?]
Yes, I would, I state out loud in response to the System, my voice echoing through the bath chamber.
[Confirmation received. Ascension to Class III will now begin.]
And just like the last ti, nothing happens for several seconds, following which that sa burning pain spreads throughout my entire body and I have to choke back a scream. But then the pain shoots up again, making let out a loud scream that echoes throughout the bath chamber as I feel myself partially losing my grip on my spot and sink further into the bath until my head stops on the edge of it, just barely above the water.
I clench my eyes shut through the pain, feeling another stabbing pain radiating around my chest where Im likely getting another heart, along with a stabbing pain in my teeth. And along with that pain, my scream goes up in pitch as my teeth begin to get pushed out of their sockets and I cough out a mouthful of blood, only for new teeth to grow in and then shift back to normal, just like what happened with my claws in the last ascension.
After several seconds, the pain in my mouth and chest fade, making almost feel relieved that its over.
Then I feel the absolute worst headache Ive ever had in my entire life. One that is far worse than even when I was hit by a mind spike. As if my mind is about to crack and shatter into pieces, making scream so loudly my voice starts going hoarse before healing and going hoarse again over and over again.
Throughout the excruciating process, Tar stays absolutely silent, instead just putting his pat gently on my cheek as if in so form of reassurance that he was here. But after noticing that, my thoughts completely fragnt as the pain grows even worse, following which everything just goes blank.
Then it all vanishes, and I suck in a gasp of air, shooting straight up into a sitting position, sending the water on flying in the process all the way to hit the far wall, cracking it slightly and startling .
That. Fucking. I turn around to look at Tar. Hurt.
Im sorry you had to go through that, he says, sounding genuinely sorry. Like he has anything to do with the pain I just went through.
I sigh.
Its not your fault or anything like that. It just hurt.
Bad.
Not like you can do anything about it.
Yeah, but still Tar mutters, sounding sad despite being the one who just experienced the mind shattering pain.
I pat the little guy before looking around and finding the little blood and black impurities that hadnt already vanished currently vanishing in the bath. Then I look at my own body to find it squeaky clean just like when I went into the bath in the first place.
When we go back to Tartarus, Im taking this bath with .
Tar looks up at , surprised for a mont before chuckling and shaking his head, Sure. Whatever you want.
I smile at that as I step out of the bath for a mont, only to shake my head and step back in, lying back down.
I can check the results and everything after a short nap I mutter before falling asleep thanks to my exhaustion the mont my eyes close.
The Blood Calamitys Throne Room
Right before the start of Scarlets Ascension
Leonidas sits on a makeshift throne of blood made by his domain at the bottom of the dais as his father sits on his own throne at the end of the hall, and he cant help but wonder what the other Demon Lords are thinking about the Demon Kings current actions. About his constantly flaking on their etings just to go do sothing superficial with Leonidass daughter. Sothing any regular servant couldve done.
Although
Despite Leonidass thoughts, he cant help but feel a tad jealous of his father. After all, the Demon King is able to spend as much ti as he wants with Leonidass daughter while Leonidas cant do it himself. And even if his daughter clearly doesnt hate him, there isnt any love there either.
But he can tell that shes beginning to care in a way towards her grandfather, even if its still tainted a bit by his actions.
Leonidas sighs at the thought.
Then the screaming echoes out from the baths and both Leonidas and his father stiffen up, being the only ones in the room whose ears are good enough to hear past the soundproofing on the bath walls.
Shes started then.
The Reaper suggests so random reform or sothing for his land to the Demon King, but neither the Demon King nor Leonidas pay any attention to him. All they can focus on is Scarlets screaming as they fidget, constantly looking in the direction of the bath.
Your Majesty? The Reaper asks, sounding confused for a mont only to seemingly realize whats happening. Ah, shes ascending, then?
Already? That was fast! the Lord of Hellfire comnts, sounding excited, most likely at the thought of eventually fighting Scarlet when she reaches his level in the future.
The Devourer stays silent for a few monts as Leonidas hears the screaming rise in pitch, making him almost jump out of his throne to go after her. Then he hears the Devourer mutter, I hope her ascension is swift
Leonidas cant help but nod at that sentint, but he already realizes that it wont be thanks to the sound of her screaming louder now than when the ascension first began.
Then her screaming grows in pitch once more and becos hoarse, and neither Leonidas nor his father can stand it anymore despite her saying it would be more painful than it is for most people, imdiately rushing from their thrones and going straight towards where the baths are. But they dont dare to even so much as open the door to the changing room, instead pacing outside of it to give her privacy.
Since they both know she would be extrely angry if they went in.
Please be alright
