Chapter 130: Sisters' Battle (1)
As much as Hunter couldn't imagine himself being Celestia's master, her current predicament and setting certainly must have made her his. He couldn't just let her go, as that would go against his deal with Violetta Lux, too. She was now forced to live under him!
Only someone with much better origins could order her around, and Hunter checked all prerequisites.
It didn't mean that he was Hades. He was back to himself—the inexperienced Hunter who had only licked some of the world.
"Let's see, Asmodeus," Hunter said, using the caught demon to change the mood and scenery. He turned to Brandi, who was in charge of that department and used her back to find a way to the prison cell. Having such a convenience indeed told Hunter that he was destined to be a master.
Soon, they entered a different place. It was no longer a mere cave but a corridor paved with black stones. The black brick made the walls and ceiling as well, and cold air sometimes poured outside from the cracks, as through the corridor, like the throat of a monster.
At the end of it were tightly shut steel doors, which reacted to Hunter's presence. In any other setting, only Brandi would have been able to open them, but since the master of this place was here, the doors opened upon his wish, unfolding the content behind them, which was a prison.
It was made from the same kind of black stone, and the air here was much colder than outside. White steam sometimes rolled across the ground, and some of it had hung itself on the ceiling, which stretched so far that its end couldn't really be seen by normal eyes.
It was mainly because the prison was made to hold various species, ranging from mere humans to giants whose bodies required special prison cells. Such an environment was quite convenient as whoever planned that prison used the need of having high space to create spiral stairs in the middle and floors, which seemed more like the jaw of a beast.
The higher one went, the colder it became.
Brandi informed her master that Asmodeus was locked high up but not on the highest floor, which suggested that there were more extraordinary and dangerous species that would have to be locked on the highest floors. Of course, Hunter quickly imagined the gods and their resilience. Well, there was the graveyard for them, though.
Which meant that prison must have some other purpose, too.
"How are you enjoying your stay here, Asmodeus?" Hunter asked as he locked his eyes on the trembling man. The prison's chilling air was too much for the demon lord, and it was severely weakening his physical defenses. As he also couldn't use any mana, he couldn't protect himself, and his usual domain of debauchery was gone.
He was like a mere mortal.
But years of being the lord couldn't be so easily put out. His red eyes still carried the threatening killing intent with which he dared to gaze at Hunter, the master of this place. Brandi didn't like it at all and used one of her privileges to hurt Asmodeus, telling him to be respectful in her master's presence.
Feeling the electric shocks that twisted his flesh from the inside, Asmodeus groaned and twisted his back and rolled his head around while trying to bite his lips, to no avail. After a few minutes of torment, Brandi stopped and glanced at her master, who had commended her for that.
Celestia was expressionless, though there was a satisfied glint in her eyes.
"I take that this pride won't let you calmly die," Hunter said, "You are to face two sisters in a death battle. Why them? You might no longer remember that, but you paraded their village and killed their parents. They might have been one of the victims not so important to you, but those mortals are the reason you will soon cease to exist. You and your lineage."
Asmodeus had been pilling so much karma that it finally came to bite him in the ass. That karma wouldn't just nibble on his ass but devour him whole, starting from the bottom.
Since Hunter was going out of his way to prepare all of that instead of just killing him, Asmodeus could have inferred that those two sisters were of great importance to him. He understood that well. He himself had tasted so many women that he could no longer remember the faces of many of them, but there were those he treasured well.
Men's hearts were fickle indeed.
The face of the woman who took his first time, and then some extraordinary women who always could make his mood better and their sex out of the world flashed in his mind. Those were women he perhaps genuinely loved with that fickle heart of a man, but now that he recalled that even they had surrendered to other demons' charms, he felt somewhat disgusted.
Well, karma was truly chewing on him right now.
But those assumptions and recollections weren't solely for the sake of reminding him of good times. By that, Asmodeus inferred that there was absolutely no way for him to survive this predicament. No matter how much he tried to wrack his brain to form some sort of deal with Hunter, he would never allow him to win.
He would never allow him to survive this shit.
Even if those two sisters fell short, Hunter would use his powers to help them survive. Perhaps he would secretly do it to ensure the sisters' victory, or maybe he would blatantly step in and stop the battle, only to have a second round later on. Possibilities were endless, but Asmodeus didn't see a case of him surviving in even one of them.
He glared without holding back his pride.
At last, he barked, "I don't give a fuck."

For this special battle, Hunter worked with the madness to ensure that everyone could enter his work. It was quite hard to speak with the madness as it was still fuming at Celestia, but Hunter promised to never let this woman go and use her for his own gain, which convinced the madness to work with him.
Before long, Aimee, Seraphina, and Miss Charlotte had entered Hunter's world. Nakisha was there to greet them and show them the way to the arena.
Her wild appearance in the maid outfit had drawn quite an attention. Nakisha was now so tamed that Charlotte couldn't believe she was the same wolf that she had tried to seal before.
Still aware of the reason for coming here, Charlotte didn't comment on that and followed the wolf woman to the arena where Asmodues was waiting for them.
Convenient as it has been for a while now, Hunter's inheritance had the arena as well. It was on the mountain he hadn't been until now, but the madness' help was of great help, coming in clutch again. It even seemed that Hades' madness had become quite good friends with Hunter at times.
It was like a gladiator arena made from silver stone. In the circular battle zone was the sand as though straight from the moon, sparkling from time to time. Here, Seraphina and Charlotte could see the familiar but disgusting face of a demon whose body was still trembling.
He was weakened by Hunter's prison, and it would be rude to not rely on his kindness. Still, as everyone noticed Hunter sitting on the main seat with two maids behind him, their eyes went to Celestia in the maid outfit.
Charlotte held back her laughter while Aimee and Seraphina widened their eyes. Just a month ago, this woman had the presence of the boss that they couldn't go against, and now, she was behind Hunter in a maid that emphasized her womanly curves so much that it was surely inspired by Hunter's drive.
The change was quite dramatic.
Hunter waved at them, then told Aimee to come to his side. He then wished good luck to Seraphina and Charlotte, cheering on them as though this was not a death battle but some performance or maybe mock training.
"I'll see you later," Aimee said to Seraphina before rushing to her beloved's side.
Seraphina nodded, then turned to her sister, "I… I made a lot of mistakes and hurt you more than a younger sister should have ever done."
"Younger sisters should never hurt their older sisters, though," Charlotte widely smiled.
Seraphina faintly smiled and shook her head, "From time to time should be fine. I'll always apologize, though! That's why I'm sorry for hurting you… You never gave up on me, and I wish to do the same! You'll always be able to rely on me!"
Now that the bond between these two started reshaping itself to what it should have been a long time ago, their sisterly love reached out to each other and strengthened them. They whispered sweet words to each other before turning around and facing the demon.
It was now time to prove their love and strength!
Asmodeus nearly vomited from seeing them.
