The King and the Overlord: Infernal Bonds

Chapter 17

It was complete darkness, all that could be seen was nothing but pure darkness, and within that darkness was a single person who didn't know why she was there. She tried to walk to find some light but found nothing, slowly feeling desperation rising throughout her body. After a while, she could see a small light appear, so she hurried to take it, and upon reaching it, she saw that the light was another person.

- Hello?

The light covering the person revealed Emily's face, her expression showing all the sadness she felt at that moment.

Emily: Why, Sera?

The person who had been in that darkness began to reveal her face, revealing the Seraphim who had started the exterminations.

Emily: You were my sister, why did you send me there?

Sera: I...

Emily: I trusted you, was it all a lie? Did I never matter to you?

Sera: It's not like that, I just...

Emily: Liar, I believed in you and you only lied to me.

Sera: Emily, please.

Emily: Liar!

From the ground, several cracks emerged, and fire began to emerge from them, engulfing the girl's body until she turned to pure ashes, when trying to touch her, they could only see her vanish with the wind. Once again, she was left in complete darkness, not wanting to know what would come next, because if what she was about to see was what marked her forever.

Immediately, a blue light covered much of the place, so upon seeing the origin of all this, they could only see a person with red cheeks and a blue top hat.

Lucifer: So, you failed someone again.

Sera: Lucifer.

Lucifer: It seems that's common for you; I wonder what kind of expression she had on her face. Was it like mine when you sent me there?

Slowly, her angelic attire was consumed with each step she took towards him.

Lucifer: You keep failing people, leaving your supposed family to their fate in such a place.

Sera: It's not true.

Lucifer: No? Are you sure about that? You probably tell yourself that in the mirror every time you see yourself because you don't know what pain is.

Sera: I know what pain is, I felt it with Emily, I felt it with you when I had to...

Lucifer: And why didn't you come looking for me? Why didn't you visit me? Because you only come down to talk about work and not about family, you can do the right thing with her and you don't.

Sera: I never wanted you to leave, I just did what...

Lucifer: What he asked you? You look pathetic trying to blame someone else, all of this was your fault.

In the end, the fire consumed her clothes, revealing her current appearance as the king of hell.

Lucifer: I became this because of you.

Sera: No.

Lucifer: Because of you, I am this, accept your guilt, Sera.

Sera: I won't.

Lucifer: Accept it!

Upon touching her, the fire from his hands began to engulf her until she burned completely; she slowly saw her vision darken as the fire consumed her.

Sera: Lucifer!

In the end, it was all a dream, she had fallen asleep in her chamber while trying to think about everything that had happened, it had been weeks since Emily was exiled from heaven, and no one knew what had happened. Sera decided to keep it a secret, telling people that Emily had gone to hell to start a new treaty with hell for being friends with the fallen angel.
