Chapter 60: Chaos and a Promise Fulfilled.

Chapter 60: Chaos and a Promise Fulfilled.

The Lordsoul in my hands felt so incredibly powerful, but it also gave off the vibe of being twisted and corrupted. Unnatural. Yet the power it held and its potential were undeniable.

I know I have to collect these to open the door to the first fireplace of whatever but...

What if I absorbed it?

From personal experience, I know that what happened in the game isn't absolute by any means, I can kick doors down with ease and "sequence break" with relative ease.

Sure it may be horrifyingly difficult considering this wasn't some door but more like a barrier of sorts but I have done far harder things with far less. The worst comes to worst I can just wait for the flame to die out and deal with the consequences like an adult.

Now that I think about it...

Since Lordran exists...

Does that mean other worlds could theoretically exist?

I mean earth does, that I'm sure of. But what about some world like DxD? It isn't too farfetched. Hell, maybe if everything dies and goes to shit, I probably launch myself into space and propel myself to another planet.

An image of the smiles of two girls passed before my eyes. One with emerald green eyes and the other with ash-like skin.

I shook my head. This world wasn't simply about me anymore, I wanted. No, needed to make them happy. They at least deserved that from this twisted joke of a world. If I'm going to leave forever then I at least need to leave them a future.

Preferably one that doesn't even remotely resemble this one.

Then I can rest in peace knowing I left at least something decent behind.

More power means more possibilities. Maybe even discovering a method of true death.

< Lordsoul of the Bed of Chaos >

Soul of the Bed of Chaos and the mother of all demons. This Lord Soul was found at the dawn of the Age of Fire.

The Witch of Izalith attempted to duplicate the First Flame from a soul, but instead created a distorted being of chaos and fire. Its power formed a bed of life which would become the source of all demons, and is more than enough to satiate the Lordvessel.

I felt the darksoul within me trying to form bonds with the soul in my palm as a response to my desires and thoughts. Begging me to let it feast. I obliged.

The raging flame within my palms got covered up by black indecipherable smoke and disappeared into my body.

I felt my very being getting incinerated, the hands of god taking my soul into their palms, twisting and kneading it like dough. My body and soul felt like millions of white hot knives were dancing inside of them. Pain indescribable as darkness and flame wrestled for dominance.

I felt the incinerating heat inside my soul recede into the void. Chains shackling it into the deepest depths of my soul. I collapsed into a sigh but realized I couldn't.

I couldn't see either. I felt around a bit and yep. My eyes have melted off, and so did most of my organs. But since I was too exhausted to fight against it from the mind-breaking pain that I simply let death claim me.

[YOU DIED]

...

Wow, that was VERY fucking stupid. Do I really have 99 intelligence? Of course, I can't just absorb another lordsoul like a few days after I got my first one, that would create a very big imbalance within my vessel and probably cripple me somehow.

I woke back up to familiar softness, yes I was shaken awake while my head rested on Quelaan's lap. Strangely though she was stroking my helmet. Even though people don't really feel from their helmets. The moment she felt me stir up she immediately went silent as her mouth formed an x shape.

''Good morning Quelaan how's your sister?''

I shifted around a bit to force the molten rocks out of my back that formed from my nightmares as she answered me. Apparently, her sister went out to test out her body. Though she seemed incredibly embarrassed to be talking to me but I shrugged it off.

I got up(much to her dismay) and went to blighttown to fulfill a promise I made. I waded my way through shit and poison as I reached the little island with Quelana whom I hadn't seen in months. The moment she saw me it was like a mountain was lifted off her shoulder. The relief she had was visible.

''I see you are back my foolish disciple, I am relieved you haven't gone hollow. It would've been a shame if you were to depart so early despite me having taught you myself.''

''I did it.''

''What are you talking about my foolish disciple?''

''I wasn't able to save your brother or your mother but I laid them to rest at least. I managed to cure the rest of your sisters though.''

Her mouth gaped open as she looked at me bewildered. But after a whole minute of processing the weight of my words and seeing that I wasn't lying her eyes watered up. Just before I could console her or apologize she shot up from her spot and hugged me.

''Thank you, thank you, my disciple. Even though I may have been a horrible teacher to you, thank you for bringing peace to my family.''

She was barely holding herself back from sobbing.

''I am sorry, my disciple, I cannot give anything of worth to you. The power of your flame far outstrips mine. But ask of me anything and I will do it.''

I wrapped my arms around her in response trying my best to console her. I know what I wanted from her. I have simple desires, I just want the best ending.

''Then, I have one request. Go to Quelaags domain and spend some time with your sisters.''

She looked at me with bewilderment.

''Are you serious?''

I nodded.

''It would mean more to me than anything else you could give.''

*Chuckle*

''You truly are foolish my disciple. But, since this is the dear request of my disciple I cannot just refuse right? I did say anything. Alright my dear foolish disciple, no matter how unworthy I am I will try to reconnect with my sisters.''

Although she feigned confidence I felt the shake in her voice. She let go of me and started heading toward Quelaags domain with shaking steps. Luckily I already made every other being in blight town extinct already. But before advancing any further she stopped and turned to me.

''Thank you for everything my dear foolish disciple, you are truly the best I have ever had, and ever will.''

With that, she left.

I looked up at the faraway sky as I closed my eyes.

'Happy endings huh?'
