The Belial Heir

Chapter 4

Devils

Being of darkness, born of evil, the personification of sins.

Our ancestors were created as a form of cannon fodder by the Original Lucifer using the flesh and blood of his 'wife' Lilith, in hope of creating a military force capable of destroying God of the Bible and his Angels.

And like any classic villain, his goal was world domination.

He was crazy

His son though? Batshit Crazy. Totally Pun intended.

Lucifer was cast away from heaven for his treason and just like my previous life lore, his original name wasn't 'Lucifer'. Surprisingly, there is no record of his original name. Maybe it was another of big guy's shitty schemes? As he also wasn't the nicest guy out there.

Lucifer was one of the many names of the son of the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, which later was used in the Bible as a name for the fallen devil. In the Bible though, his angel form is named The Morning Star, capable of shining brightly as the sun under the shadow of night. Supposedly, his holy presence was that potent.

After his banishment, he was in search of strong 'allies' with a common ideal to overthrow the ruler of heaven. On his journey, he met the monster of the sea, Leviathan, the archdemon of insects and flies, Beelzebub, and none other than, the arch-incubus Asmodeus.

It is said that this is how he also met Lilith, who was in hiding after her banishment.

He was said to have gotten context about Satan, the Primordial Demon, who was said to be 'killed' by Biblical God during the episode of the dawn of life¹.

And according to the records, he used that gained knowledge to make a bastardized version of his demon-making technique, to make us, devils.

It said that during this procedure devils with unique energy started to be born. That power separated them from the larger number of low-class and middle-class devils. And, that is how the first generation of 72 pillar and extra demons, of Ars Goetia, came to be.

He made them realize their 'worth' and 'explained' his ideals. Devils being the greedy being they are, joined in his ambition of world domination.

Manipulating his pawns from the very beginning, huh? How so devil-like.

After this agreement, the Devil faction came into being, which included the High-Class Devil nobles of the 72 Pillars and Extra Demons and the countless armies of Middle and Low-Class Devil soldiers under them.

However, for the other three devil kings, it was an entirely different reason.

Leviathan was bored under the water and wanted some adventure.

Beelzebub was hungry and wanted to eat other races.

And, Asmodeus wanted to fuck some angels and fallen angels alike.

The funny thing is the three of them had something common in them.

They were either empowered or created by the Primordial Demon, Satan.

______________________________________

The history lesson was overwhelming and it is not even the tip of the iceberg. Truly I was blessed in my previous life. To have the opportunity to live in this world, rich in mythology, is like a wet dream for me.

I always had this kink of mythology. Tehe~

Anyway, now if I am right, he will start our magic lesson.

"So let us start our first lesson on Devil magic. Please pay utmost attention." Diehauser said, his voice firm, had this sharp seriousness in it.

I became more attentive, so did Cleria, understanding the situation.

Most of the documents and records we have in our inner library are exclusive to Lucifer's six houses only, even then many things are not recorded, only imparted through conversation within the main household, like forbidden knowledge.

"The devil magic is one of the easiest yet the toughest forms of magic. Out of the different types of magic, such as Holy magic of angels, unholy magic of fallen ones, rune magic of Norse, Mageia and witchcraft practice of Greeks and others include, it contains the largest potential. If grasped to a frightening margin, it can become a force to reckon from." He looked towards us as if asking if we understood. We nodded and he continued. "The foundation of it was made by Lucifer himself as a means for us to wield our inborn power. It was later improved by Israel's Wise King, Solomon, I know some history lesson is needed about him and that will be done by Sebastian, later. Coming back, the basics of our type of magic are imagination, desire, and power.", He paused again a little bit, giving us time to understand what he said.

"Brother, as you said earlier, our magic system is one of the easiest yet the toughest form of magic, can you explain it?" Asked Cleria. Gone is the overjoyed girl from before and replaced by a young noble girl with behavior befitting of her status.

Diehauser smiled, expecting such a question. He explained, "

"A good question. There are only three forms of magic that can be simply used by imagining or thinking, though they do have their differences. The three being the Devil magic of ours; Charm magic, superior version of Dream and mind manipulation magic of Incubuses and Succubuses; Talisman and elemental magic of Youkais. However, to a certain extent, human magicians could do that as well." He explained.

"I see." She nodded.

An informative chapter. (The next will be as well)

So I thought of building my own dxd lore for this story. Made some fixation on the baseless bullshits. Honestly, the devil magic system in dxd is hax. Issei simply imagines grabbing boobs and created the [dress break] spell.

I thought about giving the magic system a base rather than all supernaturals spamming spells here and there. Do let me know how's it.

For some, it may look good and for some, it may be not. Different stories, different set-ups, different myths, and different possibilities, that's the beauty of fan-fictions. Giving your fantasies a platform to express, to share it with the outside world, that's all this is all about. :)

The next chapter will be the continuation. And, I'll be writing that now so the next update will be of this book, not 'The True Heir' ; it will be done later.

Now on personal matters, I was ready to write the chapters in between my exams but my school gave us projects to complete during this time.

Duh (ー_ー)

I honestly am not getting enough time to be regular but I'll try, please forgive me for that.

Ohh, I am writing a new story named 'Shadow's Grace', a Fate fanfiction.

I am currently reading some parts of 'Epic of Gilgamesh' to write the book better and to also understand some characters more. After the next chapter of this book, I'll be writing the first chapter of 'Shadow's Grace'. You can add it, in your reading list so you'll get an update when I start posting. ;)

And I recently made an Instagram account (tagged in my profile) for posting anime related stuffs. Do check that out as well.

That's all I had to say and I hope you are enjoying this book.

Stay happy and Stay blessed!
