The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 19: Snakey

The snake felt awkward seeing the boy flex his edginess in front of her however she would not lie, she felt a little lost in his eyes when she met their gaze.

It was as if she was falling into a darkness she would never be able to come out of.

"Do you think I am a fool?" Rael asked as he eyed the snake with an amused smile and a glare as if he was eating her whole up.

The snake was a bit stunned hearing his sharp voice but quickly settled down, waiting for Rael to explain his point.

"Why would I think of you as a fool?"

Rael pressed his imaginary glasses as he spoke.

"The Holy Bible, it is a legacy which is always possessed by every generation of Angel Gods. In times, there have been only two Angel Gods, Yahweh, who had become a Primordial God ascending past God-Hood, and then his son, Samael. As I said only Angel Gods have this legacy which means that Samael is either dead or has ascended to primordiality."

Snakey raised her head and slithered a bit, she hadn't expected Rael to deduce so much. Rael then looked at the snake which was crawling upon his arm and spoke in a heavy tone.

"I am guessing it's the former."

A heavy aura pressed on the entire environment as the grip of the snake's tail got tighter on Rael's wrists.

"-and what is the former here?"

Rael shook his hand vigorously throwing away the snake from his hand. The snake who fell near the pond looked up at him with a wronged expression.

"I think you already know the former here, Samael is dead isn't he?" Rael spoke with a slightly bitter smile.

He didn't know Samael personally but he had heard a lot about him from the Demon God, Fakir.

Fakir had told Rael that Samael was kind of a rival to him yet an enemy because he was on the side of 'Order' unlike him who was siding 'Chaos'.

Rael always thought seeing how Fakir badmouthed Samael that they were very close to each other, while other demons or Gods of the 'Chaos' side rejoiced, Rael was sure that Fakir would be down in his dumps.

Although Fakir would never admit it, Samael was similar to a frenemy.

'We have all gone through many hardships and lost loved ones, this should be normal to him, so I am sure that he must have cheered up.'

The snake for some seconds stared at Rael with her golden eyes and eventually sighed,

"Yes, Samael is dead."

Both sides gave bitter smiles to each other, eventually, Rael spoke up.

"So... how did he die?"

The snake crawled upon the bark of a tree and answered the question.

"It seems that he was killed by an Eldritch on the side of Chaos, Emperor Diablo, the bringer of destruction and hate, the Angel-Slayer."

Eldritch were existences unlike Gods or sometimes devils. It is unknown from where they arrive usually said to come from beyond the abyss.

When one ascends with divinity they become Gods but when one ascends with Chaos, they become Devils.

Divinity and Chaos, they are two sides of the same coin, hence Gods and Devils too. While Eldritch are just an error.

Rael's eyes widened when he heard the name Diablo, he almost started laughing creepily.

"Alright, then I accept your legacy offer,"

The snake was a little surprised, she thought he would have some demands.

"Thats great! I will transfer the legacy to-"

Before she could finish Rael interrupted her,

"I have some demands."

Facepalming herself she nodded.

The snake sighed, "Speak out your conditions, I will try my best to fulfill them."

Rael raised his eyebrows,

"I only have one condition...."

Snakey furrowed her eyebrows waiting for him to speak which he was not doing on purpose.

"Dont create suspense!"

Rael feigned ignorance and coughed a little.

"I want you to give me a zillion souls for me to ascend into God-Hood and the divinity of Samael because as you said he is dead."

The snake glared at Rael for a few seconds, if this was someone else she knew that they wouldn't have dared to ask for conditions and would have even accepted it as a great honor but this brat... SHAMELESS!

That is clearly two conditions!!

"What? I don't think I asked for your hand in marriage, you don't need to glare at me with daggers in your eyes." Rael joked.

The snake stared at Rael for a few seconds, if she was in her human form then Rael would have had the opportunity to see her deep red blush.

"Ahem.. coughs... I will give you more than half a zillion souls when you ascend in the Celestial Realm and the remaining souls you will have to acquire yourself.

As for the divinity, Samael passed away storing his divinity in the New Testament which he even transformed into a soul sword, in short, you will have to find it yourself."

The silver-haired man sighed, "Fair enough, I will be able to kill many due to the war between Chaos and Order anyway. As for the divinity, it is really annoying that I will have to try finding the relic."

Rael grumbled and complained, the snake looking at him suppressed a laugh.

The atmosphere between them became quite comfortable in those short seconds.

"Alright then I accept it, make me his successor, I don't mind a legacy if my condition gets fulfilled."

The snake being nodded and said,

"Okay then stay still and close your eyes and open your mouth."

The snake came forward, close to his body. She wriggled her way up to his face.

'Hmm, what's this snake doing?' Rael wondered, he thought of opening his eyes but it was too late.

Then Rael felt something, worse than kissing a boy. Somehow the snake got into his mouth...

*Wiggle...Wiggle...*

'Son of a bitch!! What is she doing?!?!'

...and bit his tongue.

"What have you done?!?!?!" Rael screamed at the top of his lungs, trying to vomit with one finger in his mouth.

"Sorry, I had to bite your tongue so that I could transfer the legacy which he passed to me so that I could find a suitable candidate." The snake lied.

"Well, you could have kissed me in your humanoid form!! Why this form?!" Rael almost cried.

"One last thing is left" The snake spoke wrapped around his legs.

"...what?"

Rael checked his ear. His ear had an accessory pinned to his ear.

"An earring?" Rael frowned as he tried to remove it.

'Huh... it is not coming out.... the fuck... '

Suddenly Rael took on a pale look as if he had been painted with white-wash - even his lips were barely there.

Then with one step backward he crumpled like a puppet suddenly released of its strings.

Beneath his feet, the grassy floor felt hard not as much as a carpet but not right for oak planks.

Rael moved to the edge of the grass his legs brushed against the grass as he was falling.

It was hard to make out the details of the entire place after the summer light outside, but after a while, he could make out the features of the grassy plain.

It was the same as when he looked at it before, just abandoned with just fireflies and some puddles of water.

He staggered backward, his mind swirling, his breaths shallow until he fell in a heap to the floor then got up again.

Rael lost all color from his face. It was as if his heart had suddenly stopped beating and all the blood had run down into his boots.

He swayed for just a moment before the snake being caught him and lowered him to the ground.

The snake then transformed into a lamia and looked at Rael with hints of worry.

"It seems that you are now starting to gain your false divinity, Fairy King, Irakiel El Navah."

Rael had an expression of disbelief along with that of pain as he looked at the woman.

"You knew?"

He managed to stutter out a few words even while the great pain was striking his body.

Instantaneously the smile on the woman's face grew into a lopsided one as she stared at him amused.

"Of course, I am going to continue reading my yayoi doujins on you now, the earrings help a lot with it."

Rael's face grew pale to the extent that it almost became transparent, before he could even ask or retort, a white light surrounded him.

Before his body teleported out from the personal domain he saw a warm smirk etched on her face but he couldn't make out what she was saying.

"Off you go, my darling."
