Chapter 866 The Disgrace...

And then the image changed again. This time around, Everbee stood in front of a demon. This demon wore white armour and the proud symbol of the Asmodeus family was on his chest. However, his face was shrouded in a dark mist that oozed from his head. No matter how hard lenny tried to see beyond the mist, it was just not possible. The only thing that he could see where two deep red eyes.

However, the kind of power that oozed from his body was one that made Everbee's cells stand at attention in his presence.

Instinctively or as a result of the memories, lenny knew that this man was one the one known as Kudus. the same person that Crystabel had instructed the guard to take Everbee to. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This room was dark and gave one the impression that it was just the two of them. Within the memory, Lenny could clearly feel Everbee's exhaustion. She had gone through intense training to reach the stage she had reached, and had defeated many foes in her many years.

However, there was one thing that she could not just do. Kudus waved his hands and a pillar with runic symbols appeared. "The Arcane Pillar is the peak of our Bloodline ability. Only one that has consecrated and perverted the nature of his enemy in his mind can fully bend and will this ability.... AGAIN!" he screamed. Young Everbee struggled, her attempts to conjure the formidable pillar weapon of their esteemed Asmodeus lineage faltering with each try.

Kudus, this figure of enigmatic power and presence within the royal demon family, watched on. His face, forever obscured by a veil of smoke that seemed to emanate from the very essence of his being, betrayed no emotion, yet his attention was intensely focused on Everbee's efforts. The red lightning she summoned flickered and danced around her hands, a vivid display of her burgeoning, yet unmastered power, but each time it failed to materialize the coveted pillar.

The Asmodeus family was not as brutal as the Abbadon family, but was there really a demon family that was not brutal? The ever growing hunger for power was the drive that propelled the families and the Asmodeus family was no difference. Kudus stepped forward, the smoke trailing behind him like the shadows of forgotten ancestors, "The power of the Asmodeus family does not lie solely in our ability to dominate and conquer. It resides in our capacity to control, to shape the very essence of pain and pleasure into our will. It is for this reason that we are the family of Pain and pleasure, Blood and Lust."

Everbee looked up, her eyes a mirror of the turbulent emotions within. Kudus, sensing the flicker of resolve reigniting in her soul, continued, "Your failure today is not a mark of weakness, Everbee. It is the foundation upon which your strength will be built. Each attempt, each fall, is a step closer to mastering the chaos. Do not fear failure, for it is through failure that we are sculpted into instruments of formidable power."

With a gesture of his hand, Kudus summoned yet another pillar, effortlessly, as if drawing it forth from the very air itself. The pillar stood before them, a monolith of their family's enduring legacy, "The pillar will come to you when you are ready, when you have learned to wield your inner storm with precision and intent. Until then, you will be removed from battle and fully be intergrated into the Judas project.

I heard that the eighth concubine of our lord as similarly created a disgrace in battle. Fortunately, his mind is like yours, and he excels in a different form of strength. Kudus waved his hand, and from the shadows walked Cuban. "both of you shall find a way to bring pride to our Asmodeus family."

Everbee turned to Cuban. He looked to be a teenager, however, even though Kudus had introduced him as a disgrace, his eyes spoke a different kind of truth.

Instinctively, she did not like him
