Chapter 173: A Ballistic Bastard
The audience went ballistic. The tense atmosphere broke instantly. Everyone began laughing, gasping, and screaming.
Rael wondered if everyone thought it is a joke because frankly, it was not, maybe they were all nervous and needed a break so laughed at one of the most unfunny things.
Breathing heavily, he cleared his throat to regain composure and continued as if nothing happened.
"For those who do not know me... My name is Irakiel. No family name since I was kicked out of my family haha. Apparently, I fucked my father's wife. Oh, he is Avari Aplistia Mammon just FYI.... anyway let us head to the title section. I go by many actually but my personal favorite are these.... *ahem*-"
"Lord and Savior, Supreme Existence, The Most Graceful One, Kind Stepfather. I am the stepfather of all living things, those who are filial to me are cherished but those who are unfilial, perish. So decide.... do you all wish to be my children or pigs to slaughter?"
It felt as though the wind was taken out of their lungs, making the atmosphere awkward once again.
The crowd was speechless, the girls were blushing, the men who knew who Rael was were sweating profusely, and the old monsters were ready to throw themselves off a cliff.
Only some of the Sin Families were able to keep their cool, namely the lust, sloth, and gluttony familia. While the rest were ready to burst. Especially Roth, Lala, and Avari.
The tension returned, the same feeling of fear and dread.
Sebastian beside Lucifer and Rael was too shocked to speak, he was a staunch believer in Lucifer's decisions but now he was having doubts, he cared about her as a child and loved her as a woman, if Rael was a bad mistake, then he would not hesitate to gut him, for the better of his grace.
To the other nobles and influentials, this was a nightmare... the most terrifying moment of their lives.
In a single hour, their lives had turned topsy-turvy and their beliefs and ego crushed into dust. The miasma and the potent mana were too overwhelming.
One thing was for sure, the beings in the room, in the same area as theirs were some of the strongest beings in the entire realm and one should never offend them... however, for some reason, all of them seemed offended.
The sin families especially. Lala gazed at the killer of her child with bloodshot eyes. While Roth remembered who Rael was and... Avari by the side for being humiliated in front of all of his pawns.
A deep sigh escaped his lips. A sigh of defeat, a sigh of regret.
Avari frowned, his eyes narrowed as he glared at Rael. He wanted to kill Rael right there and then for what he did to him.
But he wouldn't... Avari was a smart man. If he killed Rael right here and now, Lucifer would be offended. He did not know what relationship the two had but knew one thing, blood had seldom been spilled in any Realm Discussion yet.
Killing him here would contradict his plans, he had to calm down and think clearly. Even if in front of him was the fucker of his wife and possible lover of his lifelong crush.
He could eventually get Lucifer when the Greed Family would rule over the world. Avari had a secret he did not tell anyone. The Greed Family was being backed by his grandfather from the Celestial Realm, to take over this world.
He had gotten a mana potion that would one shot form his mana core and even slow down the breaking down of his body, so that he could spend more time in the lower world, exterminating enemies easily.
A deep smirk formed on his face.
'Irakiel you won this bout but the game has just begun, an early victory is just a sign of defeat.'
The others observing Avari's face frowned, even those watching the banquet on television. 'He is smiling about his wife being fucked? What a fucking weirdo.'
Unlike Avari, his best friend or former best friend had no intention of reigning his wrath back inside. After all, Roth never had the habit of doing so... ever.
"Irakiel... "
The silver-haired man turned around to look in the direction of the voice. It was a bulky red-haired man, he wore what seemed like a majestic banyan filled with diamonds and other luxurious stones.
His skin was a little on the tan side and the man was ripped as fuck with a well-groomed red beard.
However, his face did not match his clothes, his eyebrows constantly wriggled and blood dripped from his lips as a tooth bit into them.
"T-the a-ab-bys-ss!!?"
Rael's lips curled up but his eyes remained cold.
"Do you think you are the only one with the blood of wrath flowing in your veins? Mine is even purer... does that not make you the real bastard?"
In truth, the Anger Family was nothing but a branch family of Wrath formed by a bastard prince of the Wrath Family when they ascended to the Celestial Realm.
The first people and the only entire family to ascend to the Celestial Realm.
It was actually because the head of the Wrath Family, Valerielle was a great friend of Lucifer that she requested her to take care of the realm after all... it was the Wrath Family that ruled the realm prior.
However, Rael did not know this, so it was all the more ironic... but Roth did.
He did not understand what Rael meant and what the darkness he saw behind his eyes but anger was once again beginning to muddle his head in a murky blackout.
Rael raised an eyebrow seeing the man beneath struggle to get out of his foot. A displeased expression came over him. It was annoying, was this Anger Family head even listening to him?
"Hmph. So be it." Using his index finger he tapped on Roth's head and whispered. "Full Counter."
*BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!*
*BOOOOM!!!* *BOOOOM?!!!*
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM??????!!!!!!*
Rael used one of the skills reminiscent of the House of Wrath, the primordial one, the skill he gained from the origin of the Sin, from his primordial bloodline skill set.
A huge chunk of the banquet had been destroyed and the nobles of course had their mouth open for a gigantic mosquito's cock to be shoved in.
[Full Counter]
This accumulated all the attacks Roth inflicted upon himself and doubled them. Dust filled the air making it hard to breathe, cracks too filled the surface, and a splatter of blood ended the masterpiece.
However, weirdly, it flowed from the other side of Roth, and Rael's index finger aimed not at Roth but behind his back, where a woman held a pure Mythril dagger at his neck.
She wore a black robe with a collarless blouse with snake imprints, her legs were covered in red cloths and her feet were hidden in brown boots.
Her hair was pulled up high in a bun with a red ribbon and she wore a couple of Mythril bangles.
Rael clutched the dagger with a smooth flick of his hand and pulled his legs tightly making her body trip and fall, pointed it towards the woman on the floor who was now convulsing with many deep holes on her mangled body, the effect of the full counter in its entire glory.
While on the other side when the dust cleared up, a woman lay in an oversized banyan where Roth should have been... and for some reason, she looked like his perfect copy.
Rael ignored everything, all of his attention on the dagger and the half-dead woman. His smile enlarged further, turning very warm while his eyes were shaped similar to crescents.
His visage was very kind.
"Now, now... why does an ant have this dagger?"
