Pride''s duty


    Imperion POV


    |Step aside Humans, I have no business with the likes of you.|(Imperion)


    |Kekekeke heard him Joe ? The lion is chickening out.|(Adventurer 1)


    And here I am, surrounded by five adventurer. I was on my way to the Fierim republic when five adventurer came out of the bushes and threw javelin at me, using my rapiere I was holding with my tail I deflected them but it still pisse me off. To tell the truth I am not planning on killing them since if someone ever see me kill people in the wild it could cause various problems, right now I look like a were-lion, a fairly high ranked monster who is said to have rather pricey materials so some greedy people would chase after me.


    Out of the five adventurers their are three women and two men, two of the women having ranged weapon and the other people seeming to use close combat. of course with me being three meters or so tall I was towering over them and my rapiere could only be called a longsword to them.


    |Do not play games with me Humans, I''ve more importants things to do.|(Imperion)


    |As if we''d let such a monster go away, were-lion materials is quite pricey even more so if it is a variant like you.|(woman warrior)


    |Sigh, Humans shall stay Human I guess.|(Imperion)


    I close my eyes and take a deep breath, I only have to incapacite them long enough to allow me to wipe out the rogue Vermillion and come back here to take them away, I won''t kill bystanders or those who are not my targets. Anyway I should really get Monti to train me on ow to hide my presence, like that even if I wondered around nobody could see me, heck Monti can walk just in front of someone without being noticed.


    |What are you sayi .....|(Woman archer)


    I kicked the floor and got behind her, I hit the base of her neck to knock her out, My paws are quite hard you see.


    |Vivienne !!|(Male warrior)


    |Mere Humans defying me sully my name. I have however no qualms with you so be thankful I let you go with your lives.|(Imperion)


    |Who do you think you are !!!|(Male warrior 2)


    He said as he bringed down his sword to me. I stepped forwards, grabbing his shoulder and his arm to throw him away. I twist my my body to avoid and arrow and rotate my tail to block a slash from the two other warriors.


    |An existence that stands above you Humans.|(Imperion)


    I grab the woman warrior and punch her in the guts to maker her faint, dodging yet another arrow I twist my tail and lightly cut the wrist of the remaining warrior, making him let go of his weapon and I I hit him with my knee in the face as he groans in pain, after that strike he fall down like a puppet that had its string cut. So out of five, four were knocked out. Yet another arrow was fired, I couldn''t see it since the woman had managed to get behind me but I heard it and cauth it with my hands while turning her way?


    |It seems you did not understood what situation you were in, girl.|(Imperion)


    And now the only remaining member of the party that attacked me was left saking in fear, having finally realised I had wwiped them out. I kicked the floor and kocked her out like I did for the first archer. I search through their stuff and found a rope I used to tie them up to a tree, of course I made sure to mark them with my mana so no monster would approach them. Monster define their territory that way and since this region isn''t supposed to have monster of higher rank than orc my mark show clearyly that they shouldn''t mess with me.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road.

    |Anyway, I really need to watch my mouth, it is getting nastier by the day.|(Imperion)


    I took back my human form and ran towards the capital, if you wonder why I had transformed the answer is simple, the muscle were mre suited for running than human ones. It seems that even a Vermillion sacrifice power for endurance, but we are still like insanely powerful of course.


    Once I arrived to the capital I immediatly noticed something was wrong, it wasn''t something that could be seen but my guts were twisting, my sense as an Apostle were going awire. The guards stopped me at the gate so I paid the fee and walked around town. At first glance everything was going well but I could smell it .... the rusty smell of blood coming out of the castle in the center of the city.


    It was then that my brain stopped having unnescarry thought I could feel it, someone needed punishment and I was there to delivre it by tenfolds. I walked calmly to the castle and stopped in front of the gate, my rapiere was unsheathed.


    |Stop right he.....|(Guard)


    The two guards that stood in front of the door were beheaded without them knowing what happened. They .... they are in my way of delivring punishment ..... everybody who tarnish the Vermillion''s name is to be put to death .... no exception .... Should you take away his limbs, break his mind, or even reap his heart away a Vermillion should never forget his pride as a warrior of the Tytan.


    |Stop him ARGGGHHhhhh !!|(Soldier)


    |WARN THE SUPREME RULER Gurhhh !!!|(Soldier)


    Worthless, for a Vermillion to have such worthless subordonates digust me. I continued to walk forwards, in direction of that feeling of wrongness. My name Is Imperion Lucifer Retoris Imael Vermillion and my duty is to punish those who sullied our name.

    One of the Suprem ruler POV


    I was calmly getting a blowjob by the bitch that once was the daughter of this country''s ruler, she was an easy one to break but she just do it so well that it is satisfying enough . Two of my comrades were here with me, one who prefered older woman was curently fucking the mother while the last one was being "entertained" by five maids. Suddenly the door bursted open and a guard got in.


    |Your lordships we must f....|(guard)


    His body was cleaved in two, from top to bottom, his guts and other innards spilling on the floor. The maids screamed and ran in the oposite direction while me and my friend tossed away the cum-dumpsters. I quickly took my pants up and we were ready to greet the guest who thought he was hot shit.


    And the door frame exploded, a four meters and fifty tall man entered. Our breath were taken away, he was there standing in front of us, a humongus blond man with a scar on his forehead. Wearing a long golden overcoat with black undertone and wielding an enormours rapiere that was two meters long. Gazing upon us with his golden eyes and stern face, as if we were the lowest of the low, I would normaly have wanted to kill right away but just having our eyes meet made me understood ..... that man, whoever he was, was somene made to rule above others. Like my two friends I fell to my knees having trouble breathing.


    |Three worms crawling under the feet of our glorious race, there should be more of you, where are they ?|(Man)


    Each of his words were like daggers getting stabbed in our guts, recking with power and giving an ever-lasting pain, even staying on our knees was difficult, one of my friends fell down with foam coming out of his mouth. Quivering in fear my comrade next to me said.


    |T-they left for G-G-Guarmille t-two days ago.|(comrade)


    It''s true, when our leader heard that the Crimson duke and the royal family would be away he jumped on the opportunity to go to Guarmille to conquer it. My friend thinking he would get freed smiled weakly but the man put the tip of his rapiere on the friend''s forehead and with a thousand needles in our heart he said.


    |{Devour, my thorny rose}|(Man)


    His rapiere melted and swallowed my friend who tried to shake it off but couldn''t no matter how many time he tried to, his distorded face whipping in agony curved in the liquid metal as it took back the appearance of a sword.


    |As I though .... she don''t like scums.|(Man)


    He said as he cut the head of the one who had fainted, he walked towards me who couldn''t move. I am not afraid of death, I am just too scarred of him. Who is he ? What is he ? Where did we go wrong ? We were supposed to be overlord, ruler of the mankin, that''s what he said to us.


    |As the Apostle of Pride I sentence you and your friends to walk through the abyss of Hell over and over again until you can not recognize pain from pleasure, that you think of death rather then life, I banish you to the end of our domain {Abyssal realm}|(Man)


    And like that I was engulfed in a dark sphere where I suffered the worst torture for thousands and thousands of years.
