Abaddon did not take his eyes off Satan as he hovered in the sky, as he felt like the moment he did so, the sin of wrath would close the gap between them.
"Contrary to your belief Abaddon, you will not be able to defeat me." Satan said calmly. "Do you understand why?"
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Satan appeared directly in front of the dragon and punched him hard in the jaw.
Abaddon was sent flying, and his body crashed into the turbulent sea a short distance away.
Satan looked down at the blood on his fist, and felt a nasty energy surging from within it.
"You abyss dwellers always have so many foul tricks. And you say I am the disgraceful one." he muttered as he wiped the blood off on his pants.
BOOOOMMM!!
Suddenly, Abaddon emerged from the sea, riding an enormous red wave.
By mixing his blood with the seawater, he was able to extend his control to practically insane limits.
The massive wave suddenly hardened and took on a solid shape, and a tidal wave of bloody spears began to rain down on Satan.
"Showy."
Bang!
With a swipe of his hand, Satan casually destroyed every single blade that was intending to pierce him, and a shower of crystallized blood fell onto the earth like a hail of rubies.
Abaddon leapt off the wave at the last second, and used gravity manipulation to multiply his weight a hundred fold, and swung his sword with the intention to split Satan down the middle.
"This is why you cannot defeat me, because you are still reliant upon these unnecessary handicaps."
Bang!!
Abaddon's sword was easily caught by Satan, and the only sign of damage from his powerful attack was the ground that had cracked underneath them, and a thin line of blood trickling from the palm of the king of wrath.
"You rely on weaponry and magic, and for one such as I those things are nothing short of a way to highlight your own inadequacies. I carry no weapon because there is no blade greater than myself!"
Suddenly, Satan grabbed Abaddon by the collar and threw him onto the ground hard.
Abaddon coughed out a mouthful of blood as he rolled back onto his feet.
Without a doubt, Satan was unlike anyone he had ever fought against.
This battle would be tough, but for the sake of his family who loved him, and his subordinates and citizens who looked up to him, he absolutely had to overcome this challenge.
Abaddon took a deep breath and tossed both of his weapons aside.
Right before Satan's eyes, Abaddon transformed into a four armed demon with inky black skin and glowing purple tattoos.
A third eye opened up directly in the middle of his forehead, and it burned with just as much determination as the two below it.
Satan smiled when he saw the hateful expression of his opponent, and he held out his hands in a beckoning gesture.
"Come along, whelp! I will show you of the two of us who is the greatest weapon!!"
-
"I hate him so much!"
"Sister, you don't mean that."
"I-I do and I won't change my mind! H-He's made me so weak!!"
Back at home in Luxuria, Seras was currently being consoled by all of her family members.
Pregnancy was... rather difficult for the beautiful hybrid.
She had expected that it would be quite a while before she started experiencing symptoms, but imagine her surprise when she woke up the morning after her husband departed and her stomach had seemingly inflated.
To make matters worse, her breasts were sensitive and feet were sore, and the triplet maids had been working overtime to accommodate her strange and frightening food cravings.
Not to mention she was somehow simultaneously exhausted beyond belief and horny enough that the mere memory of sex with her husband was enough to give her a small orgasm.
She felt fat, always out of breath, and her mood swings alternated between babyish cuddler and angry crying mess.
Currently, her mood was stuck somewhere in the middle as she clung to her only son by his neck, while the rest of her family tried desperately to calm her down.
'Father, I never believed that I would say this, but I am beginning to wish that I had not been born.' Apophis thought as he watched his mother cry all over his robe while crushing his windpipe with her bicep.
"I just miss him so much and he has the nerve to not be here! He can clone himself so why couldn't he leave atleast one behind?!" Seras wailed.
Lisa and Eris moved beside Seras and began patting her reassuringly.
The two of them had been indispensable during this entire ordeal, as one already had experience in these sorts of matters and another was the embodiment of tenderness and warmth.
Eris: "We know you miss him sister but, you have to remember that splitting himself causes his powers to weaken."
Lisa: "And he is currently against not one, but five demigods. Our husband needs all of the strength he can get."
Seras sniffled as she wiped her teary eyes and looked down at her stomach.
"I-I know... I just miss him so much and I'm so worried... the baby is growing so fast, and I'm terrified that he won't be home in time for the birth..."
The family members all looked at each other, and none of them seemed to have an answer for why Seras' pregnancy was progressing so fast.
But by the looks of things, Seras would give birth at the end of the week.
Lailah: "He will be back, Seras. You don't need to worry."
Valerie: "That's right, you know that he is not the kind of man to miss something like this."
Audrina: "Now can you release our son? Only his hair is supposed to be purple, not his face."
Seras finally looked down and realized that she had indeed been strangling the poor imoogi, and she quickly released him and allowed him to catch his breath.
"Ah! I'm sorry, my child!"
"Think nothing of it, mother." He responded hoarsely.
He stealthily made his way to stand beside Audrina, the mother responsible for saving his life just now.
"Maybe you need some fresh air, hm?" Bekka suggested. "We can all go to the tree and we can have a small picnic."
"Ah... I suppose that would be nice." Seras thought after nodding for a moment.
"Great! We can ask the triplets if they want to come-"
Just as the family was about to finish finalizing their plans, they were all able to sense it.
Several million demons were approaching from beyond the mist, and they were doing so at a rather rapid speed.
"Guess we're going to have to put that picnic on hold." Audrina reached into her closet and pulled out her own special body armor made from Abaddon's scales.
It was decided that she would lead the army's forces this time around, and she was more than excited to finally show the family what she was capable of.
The rest of the wives and reached into their own closets and prepared to follow her example.
But when they noticed someone getting ready who should not have been, their hearts collectively dropped.
"Mommy... what are you doing?" Mira asked worriedly.
"Ah, I'm just looking for my spear, sweetie. Have you seen it?" Seras said casually.
"And why the hell do you need something like that?" Valerie asked as she rubbed her temples.
"We're being attacked. Isn't it obvious?"
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!!" They all reminded aloud.
Suddenly, Seras puffed out her cheeks and began glaring at her family. "So? Are you all saying that I'm too weak to fight? Or that I'm INCAPABLE OF DOING SOMETHING ON MY OWN!?!"
The walls shook from the sound of Seras' booming voice, and her family collectively stepped back in fear.
They were more terrified of Seras than the army outside, and they silently shook their heads no in the hopes that she would calm down.
"Good! Then I'll see you all at the gate!"
Seras quickly stormed outside of the room after finding her weapon, leaving the rest of the Tathamets behind, stunned into a frightful silence.
Audrina: "I'll make sure that she doesn't overexert herself too much so... it is absolutely imperative that husband does not learn of anything that happens today... "
Needless to say, everyone understood her worries and they all nodded along silently, while saying a small prayer for the army of demonic invaders.
'May Asherah have mercy on their souls...'
-
Outside the walls of Luxuria, Mammon could be seen leading over two hundred thousand demons right up to the front gate.
Once he was around 200 yards away, he narrowed his yellow eyes when he realized that he could not sense Abaddon inside the city.
"I should have figured that he would not be like that bastard pride and remain in one place. He's probably out waging war with the others by now..."
"Then what will we do, my lord? Would you like to leave and search for him?" A general asked.
Belphegor narrowed his eyes when he felt thousands of incoming presences emerging from the gates.
"No... seems like there is a bit of work to do here first."
The giant steel gates to the city finally opened, and the members of the royal family strode out confidently, trailed by 1,000 rabisu soldiers and another 10,000 regular troops.
Lusamine, Hakon, Absalom, Stheno, and even Malenia were among the higher ups present, and each of them were glaring at the sin of greed with looks that could kill.
"Is this how you intend to repay my beloved for making you rich? By stabbing him in the back while he is away?" Audrina asked pointedly.
"Don't turn this into something it's not." Mammon said as he waived his hand.
"It is only natural that those who have power hold all of the world's most valuable treasures, and to allow Abaddon to remain in control of such a prosperous city would be nothing short of blasphemous!
I know that you girls love him, but there is no way that a second stage being can contend against demigods. Whether he is a true dragon or not, it makes very little difference for a gap as great as this one. "
He held out his arms in an inviting gesture, and smiled as if he'd just had the greatest idea in the history of independent thought.
"I'll make you girls a deal! If you hand over the city to me without making a fuss, I'll ensure that your standard of living does not decline."
"You don't seriously expect us to agree to that, do you?" Seras said as she stepped into view.
Mammon shrugged as if he'd given negotiations his best effort. "Women marked by the sin of lust are always so irrational loyal. I had hoped that all off you would be smarter but..."
Mammon finally took a moment to analyze Seras carefully and realized that she looked a bit different from her usual appearance.
Even though her stomach was currently hidden beneath a sleeveless white Chinese dress, he could still see a small but noticeable bulge.
Pregnancy couldn't be possible, since a union between two powerful creatures like a vampire dragon and a demonic dragon should take hundreds of years to occur, so that left only one possible explanation.
"You've certainly changed a bit, little berserker... What do they call it again? Happy relationship weight?"
As soon as the word's left Mammon's lips, he wished that he could take them back.
Seras blinked several times in disbelief, before her entire body began to tremble and a pillar of dark red miasma shot out of her body and pierced the purple sky above.
The energy flowing off of her was so dreadful and horrifying that even her family had to take a step back, and several members of their army fainted outright.
"What... did you say... to me...?"
Mammon fumbled around inside of his mind for an excuse, but ultimately he wasn't able to come up with anything. "Erm, well I-"
"Shut up."
Seras pointed her spear at Mammon and his entire army and glared at them dangerously with empty and soulless eyes.
"None of you are leaving this place alive. I am going to rip all of your fucking faces off."
