Dead bodies were on the ground in this solitude dungeon, which didn't provide enough light to illuminate every dark corner.
A woman crouched down above a dead body of a lycan warrior and puncture his chest with her sharp nail, drawing blood right from his heart. She licked it and closed her eyes.
"Fresh blood is always the best," she m.o.a.ned.
"You should try the royal blood," Asmodeus chuckled upon seeing Beelzebub had her own time with the dead shifters. "I had tried it for centuries."
"I should come here sooner, instead of roaming around in the other realm," Beelzebub replied as she stood up.
"Why should we come here to take your human maid? It will be easier to find a replacement." Asmodeus waved her hand and the iron door was opened for them.
"I like her, she is an evil in human skin," Beelzebub chuckled delightfully. "She killed a priestess and many other people with her innocent face and smile on her lips. Oh, I love to see how vicious this little girl is."
Behind the iron door there were a lot of people inside, and most of them were the shifters who had lost their soul, they had come out from their coma and were waiting for their execution, since there were a lot of them.
These prisoners were the shifters, which had lost their spirit beast, that just recently found near this south region and for the shifters that they had at the city central, they had been executed even before the gates of Tartarus were opened.
"Please, save us!"
"Let me out of here!"
"Open this cell!"
"You! Open this d*mn door!"
Wails and weeps echoed inside the cell, which filled with those shifters. They bang their head against the iron cell and kicked it until their feet bled, yet they couldn't muster their power or shifted into their beast to help them from this dreadful situation.
"What happened to us!?" One of the prisoners roared and slipped his hand between the iron bars to reach for Beelzebub or Asmodeus.
"What Lucifer and the sloth want by turning them into useless shifters?" Beelzebub frowned. She had been away for too long to keep track about what her fellow devils had been doing all this time. She was too busy with her own interest.
"Create chaos, like usual." Asmodeus shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly. "You know him, he always like to invest for this kind of thing. Moreover, we don't need to do anything and they will destroy their own kind eventually."
The two women walked along the corridor with countless cells lined up on their left and right side, which every one of it, filled with the shifters, wailing and shouting to them.
"I don't know if the guardian angel's blood can be used this way." Beelzebub was in awe when she looked at those shifters. If they were in normal condition, they would have shifted into their beast by now. Unfortunately, they were no longer could do that.
"Thanks to the fae who managed to get the blood from the girls," Asmodeus said.
Ten years ago, they got the fae who had stolen a guardian angel's blood from the hospital, when the creature was bragging about it. It was their luck to be in the same place as her, but she couldn't say the same thing to the fae.
"And knowing how the shadow warrior used to exploit their blood for battle, we just need to add a little bit here and there to create them." Asmodeos waved her hand toward the shifters inside the cell. "Wonderful isn't it?"
Beelzebub chuckled, she pushed the door of one of the cell in front of them, and it opened for them.
The two women stepped inside the cell and found a young girl around twelve years old huddled on the corner. "Hi, little fella." Asmodeus greeted Terra cheerfully.
Terra raised her head and an innocent smile appeared across her face. "I know you will come!"
==============
"If you don't have the solution, you shouldn't sit there and join the meeting," Theo said softly, even he added smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes said otherwise, as he kept ignoring the warning glare from Eaton and because Jedrek didn't say or do anything for Lilac when his general disrespected his mate through and through, the general became bolder.
"Then why are you still here?" Lilac leaned her back against her chair. "If I can't join the meeting because I can't provide a solution to you, then what about you who keep complaining in the entire meeting and still can't solve the problem either?"
Rowan feigned his laugh by coughing and Warlock cleared his throat while looking somewhere else while Lyrus and Eaton frowned upon hearing Lilac sarcasm. This girl surely had a sharp tongue.
Why Jedrek always ended up with a woman with a lot of sarcasm on the tip of their tongue? Eaton still remembered how Serefina was like.
"I reject your ways by killing them. This is not the solution we are looking for," Lilac said in firm tone.
Theo's outburst died down when Jedrek took his turn to talk. "What do you think we should do?" Jedrek tilted his head and watched as his mate was in deep thought. For a moment the room fell into silent before Lilac spoke again.
"The other guardian angel is able to see the spirit. I think we need to wait for her," Lilac said. She looked at Jedrek, waiting for his rejection.
"In another words, there are one more guardian angel who will come?" Theo raised his eyebrows
"Actually, there are two," Lilac said cheekily and flashed him with a warm smile. Of course, this annoyed the general.
However, a moment later, the six lycanthropes in the room growled deeply at the same time and sprang to their feet.
"What happened?" Lilac was confused because Jedrek grabbed her arms all of sudden, forced her to stand up while the other lycan had left the room.
