Let Me Picture Our Life(Rhys x OC)

Chapter 71

Second person's POV

"Hey! Wake up , prisoners!"
Asch grunted by the constant screaming as he looked up to find the mask wearing guards pulling each of them up from the ground.

"It's time for the sacrifice."
The guards declared as the Daemos weren't expecting the time was so fast to come. Before they could react , they were pulled up by force and restrained as they're moved by force.

The Daemos were brought to the front of the unfinished temple as the temple was surrounded by people who're mostly dressed in rags and bruised. Most of them looked shock when they see Prince Asch and his knights was the one reason they're being called here. As Asch , Rhys , Noi , Leif and Pierce were being pressed down harsh on the ground , the guard shouted for all Daemos to get on one knee as Bish was coming.

The people bowed down as they don't want to be beaten up by the guards and bringing trouble to themselves. Bish walked out the unfinished temple with pride as she looked at her own brother-in-law's state and let out a very humiliating laugh.  Asch was kinda covered with dirt and dust on his face from once being enslaved , wasn't much... of a royalty...

"My dear people! These Daemos here uses dark magic and threatened me to surrender. But fear not! As your powerful goddess I am , I have brought them down to where they belonged and we now shall bring their evil reign to an end!"
Some Daemos screamed for victory and righteous of Bish as Asch can recognize them to be those minsters who were bribed and had be on Bish's side for quite a long time.

"Now , I give you one last chance."
Bish said as she squatted down and looked at Asch who's glaring at her as well. She questioned , "I could give you a chance of staying alive , if you said to worship me."
Asch remained silent as he said out loud , "To hell no way to worship you! Ocellus was one goddess we shall adore for eternity , even if we die."

"Very well then.... So death was one option you choose rather than worshiping me and stay alive. I respect your choice."
Bish smiled as she turned to a knight who bowed to her while having dark particles emitting from the blade. Asch and the others' eyes widened as they called it for the sword to be from dark magic.

"Now , my dear people , we shall now witness the greatness of the end of dark magic! Starting with-"
Before Bish can continued , a bolt of lightning slashed across the skies , making the people terrified as they turned to the burning hay bale. While the commotion was happening , Rhys somehow freed himself from the restrains as he charged towards Bish with his hand glowing in blue as he wanted to freeze Bish in place.

"Restrain the demon!"
Bish commanded as Rhys was pushed down harsh on the hard marble white floor. Rhys even feel the floor wet as he find a pool of his own purple blood stained the ground. Noi shouted out for concern as his head was pushed down , facing the white marble ground.
"Attempting to attack me? Not even a chance , Rhys. I was the great rising sun. Your attacks were merely baby attacks ," Bish said as she shouted to silent the commotion , telling her knights to keep every single Daemos to stay while commanded ones head over to extinguish the flames. Bish spatted out a 'annoying' as she scooted over to prevent her dress stained by Rhys's blood.

"W-Why are you doing this?"
"Of course , I wanted everyone from Daemos to witness this important part of history. Of Goddess Bish defeating her enemies that got in her way from great power."
Bish smirked as she turned to the silenced people and continued , 

"A-As we can tell , the gods above agreed with my plans. Now , as we shall continue , with this arrogant behaved demon who attempted to attack your dear great rising sun."
Bish pointed at Rhys as the guards grabbed Rhys in place with Bish's handed knife , aimed by Rhys's neck.

"Rhys!"
Noi and Leif cried out as Bish's knife slashed down to Rhys's neck. Rhys shut his eyes tight and prayed his cries and soul reached towards Ocellus.
