Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler- Time passes

Chapter 15

There was a rythmic drum beat that would get louder and faster. A choir accompanied the rythm and sang noisily in a language that was difficult to define. The music was going louder and louder. It was loud enough that it covered the screams of the victims.

Sebastian stood motionless in front of the gate with an inhuman calmness, after all, what to expect from someone like him?
Grell and Ciel stood behind him, they also were calm as if nothing was happening.
-:Sebastian, take care, be suitable to them:- said the Count seriously.
A grin, scarlet red eyes and a nonchalant attitude accompanied by a -:Yes, my Lord:- replied to their master.
After that, a black cloud and feathers of the same colour, with an elliptical movement enveloped Sebastian's body, then there was no trace of him.
In the meantime, Grell had called Ronald, twenty souls would be difficult to manage alone, and despite his love for Sebastian, they could not leave him and his master to feed on them otherwise they would have to deal with William. It was not long after the butler had disappeared that all the noise from before suddenly stopped, leaving room to the cries of pain and despair of the sacrificial bodies.
Sebastian was levitating above the altar and the atmosphere he had created with his appearance became more intense with the revelation of his true form before the eyes of those incredulous humans shocked by such majesty.
-:Well, well, well... it is you who have summoned me:- said Sebastian in that beautiful voice.
He looked around and one of the black priests stepped forward. Sebastian watched him impassively and bent down enough to see his face, not that there was much to look at as a white mask covered half his face.-:Speak. :- ordered the demon.
The priest hesitsted a little bit, lowered the black hood of the tunic he wore and raised his hands towards the beast -:Oh great Dark King, right hand of the King of the Underworld, today we have summoned you to ask to lend us your power:- said he in a loud voice.
-:Oh... and why do you want my help?:- asked Sebastian in an almost ironic tone.
-:We want to defeat the Order of Libra and donate our souls in order to empower at least one Dark King and give this merciful world to Hell!:-.
The demon said nothing, he kept looking down at his interlocutor's inebriated expression.
Sebastian descended to the ground, looked around again, covered his face with one hand and began to laugh evilly. -:Aaaah, humans! They've always intrigued me, you never know what's going on in their heads:- he sighed. Meanwhile, the mark on the back of his hand began to glow -: And the only one I know who can understand them is my current master, Sebastian continued -: Now, I propose something to you:- and the priest nodded evilly, he was willing to do anything to achieve his goal, -:You and your followers must do me the pleasure of dying:- finally the demon said.
His eyes shone brighter and the room became blacker than ever. Darkness scattered thickly, searching for every black priest present to capture them. Their bodies were trapped by the cloud and dragged to the floor like dying preys. Any orifice was enough to penetrate those damned and crush every organ in order to make them die painfully.
Standing there was only the spokesman of the sect, shocked and trembling. He didn't move an inch, the scene that was presenting in front of his eyes had terrified him and he only turned around when he heard footsteps slowly approaching him.
-:M-my lord, w-why are you doing all this? I-m-maybe I'm the only one who can-- he froze. Frightened as he was, the priest was unable to say anything more. In the darkness Sebastian had created, Ciel had teleported into the room. The darkness vanished and Sebastian resumed his human form. A revolting and stark scene presented itself to the eyes of all those who remained alive: human bodies and pieces of them were scattered on the floor, blood was all over the walls, and the silence was so pressing that no one but the two demons could believe what was in front of them.
-:Sebastian, free those people from the cages, we don't need them anyway, we have just eaten:- ordered Ciel. The butler did as he was asked and approached one of the cells, grabbed two bars and bent them enough to let the prisoners pass through.-:I beg you gentlemen and ladies to come out as soon as possible, if you don't hurry I will be forced to become discourteous:-.
The prisoners were all grouped on the opposite side of the cage and looked at him fearfully until the black-haired demon moved away to open the other cells. One of the prisoners, a brown-haired girl of about fourteen years old, was the first to leave and approached Sebastian with a determined manner, -:Thank you very much Mr. Demon!:- she said a little hesitantly.
Sebastian looked at her seriously and approached her -:I did it because I was ordered to, if it wasn't for my master, don't think I would have saved you:- he replied to that hopeful little face. The moor turned away from the little one and joined his Count.
He then turned to the prisoners once again-:I will tell you one last time, please get out of here, the door has been unlocked:-. All the prisoners took off running, and when only Ciel, Sebastian and the spokesman remained in the room, the interrogation could begin.
The Count nodded to the butler and the he closed the door.-:Well, now I want to know, why did you and your followers want to destroy the Order of the Scales?:- asked Ciel. The priest was in a panic, he fell to the ground from the fear he was feeling at that moment.-:I don't advise you to play the silent game, otherwise we will make you end up worse than those others:- said the demon with the covered eye, pointing at the scattered bodies.-:W-We wanted the world to be purified of the lies of the Christians, the b-bible is not as sacred as people think, so...we wanted to show the real face of faith:-.Ciel raised his eyes to the sky and sighed, "Wow, another one who thinks about purifying the world," he thought, reminding about Ash and his eagerness for Christian perfection.
