Angel Monarch

Chapter 74: House Cleaning

Hellfire lived a happy life. He was born into an Evolved family and became one at the age of 15. His first kill was a Corrupted of the 3rd Tier. Of course he only dealt the killing blow, his parents were already Transcended so they had an easy job dispatching the Fire Devil.

Soon after he got enlisted into the Evolved Academy, he quickly made friends with a man named Nightmare. He was an Evolved and he had a title as well.

They went to classes together and became bestfriends. He got to know his sister Lucy and his girlfriend Bea.

He lived happily with his parents, hunted monsters and hung out with his friends. But when he was 18 his parents died on a hunting trip. He was depressed for a while, but with the help of Nightmare he got through it.

But he was never the same, he unlocked his Heratige on the day his parents died and it increased his power, with his temper. Fire is a fickle thing, it could burn slowly for days or really hot for seconds.

In two years, the Fall of Copen happened. Without his parents Copen couldn't handle a 3rd Class Gate opening. There was only one Transcended left Bea's father, but he wasn't enough.

Millions lost their lives and only a couple tens of thousands survived. With the leadership of Nightmare they made it to Havel. Nightmare never understood why he became the leader, but Hellfire knew. It was because he made decisions fast.

A good leader makes good decisions, a bad one makes bad decisions, this is how the short sighted people see leadership. In reality it doesn't matter if the decisions are good or bad, those are concepts for the philosophers. A real leader makes the necessary decisons and does it fast.

Nightmare tried to make the best decisions possible and made them quickly. This was necessary in the wild to survive.

Sadly after reaching Havel his headaches worsened and he went Mad. Hellfire tried to help him, to convince him, that what he does is wrong. What an idiot he was, instead he should have listened to Bea.

He got thrown into a cell for months, but he was one of the lucky ones. He didn't even want to think about how much did others suffer. To how much their Queen suffers even now.

He only heard stories of Queen Seraphine, their real leader. He didn't know what to think, all the people who knew her swear she is a saint or something. He didn't really care, she was still with Nightmare and he had a debt to pay, not just to Seraphine, but to the slaver himself.

But there wasn't time for that yet, they first needed to unite their own people. Luckily Bea finally decided to join them. 'Fucking finally!'

"So everyone understands the plan?" Asked Bea with a fake smile.

The smile would have been real for anyone else, except maybe Faith. She always saw more than others. He on the other hand knew Bea for years, she couldn't fake anything around him. But he also understood why she needed to fake it in the first place.

'The loss of Seraphine was escpecially hard on her.'

"Finally, I wanted to beat them into submission for a while now." Said Faith without emotion.

'Out of all the people Faith is the best actor, because of her shadow ability or something. She really would be a great spy.'

"Yes, but first ask them nicely. If they don't comply you can beat them up, but no killing! They are still Sera's subjects."

No one dared to say, that they may never see Seraphine again. Instead everyone stood and followed their orders.

Hellfire's job was pretty simple, he and Faith will go to the water treatment plant and kick everyone unauthorized out of there. They will bring a couple of soldiers along to help.

On the way they didn't talk, silence was perfectly comfortable for both of them. Behind them marched 15 soldiers, they will be stationed at the plant after they send the anarchists away.

All of them were very solemn, they lost half of their number for the rescue and this is how they paid it back. By causing problems and making demands.

Hellfire's blood started to boil, but he quickly took a couple of deep breaths which helped with his rising temper. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Faith watching, but she didn't say anything.

They arrived at the entrance to the plant shortly. Hellfire summoned a reddish black armor, it gave off a hellish aura. The armor was a gift from Bea, named Melting Point. It was too heavy for her, but perfect for Hellfire.

Faith was already in her clothing Item, it was also a gift from Bea. A full black suit perfect for an assassin or spy. He didn't know exactly what its attribute was, but it definitely had something to do with stealth. She never took it off, not that Hellfire was complaining, it really brought out every sinful curve of her body.

They opened the door and walked in. The anarchists were already pointing weapons at them. The two of them walked forward without care, the soldiers stayed outside for the beginning. They will only join if things escalate.

They both stopped a couple meters away. There was about a hundred or so anarchist with a couple of Evolved leading them. There were a lot of new Evolved, most found out when they killed something on the way to The Bunker.

Hellfire had the armor's helmet on as well, it increased the fear factor of his bearing by a lot, the wings and horns helped as well.

'Remember, they are our people just misguided. Do not kill them!'

He constantly repeated this sentence in his head. If he lost his temper who knew what would happen. Their leader was about to speak, but Hellfire summoned his halberd and hit the ground with its end. Numerous large cracks spread through the floor. With everyone's attention on him he said.

"We came here, for your surrender! If you want to avoid blood shed you will stand down!"

The people looked between each other, most of them were conflicted. Sadly their leaders were too dumb to see.

"We sent you our demands! Either comply or live with the consequences!"

With a sigh Hellfire turned to Faith and said what she had been waiting for.

"You can beat them up..."

Before he could finish she was already gone and in a second a shout of pain could be heard, then another and another. They didn't know what to do against her and after the 20th person fell unconscious, all of them vent on their knees and held up their hands.

"Was this really so hard?" Asked Faith while she dusted off her hands.

Hellfire just shook his head and asked the soldiers to take care of the rest. Then they turned around and went back to Bea.

'The others should have taken care of the last two groups by now.'
