Disdain showed on his curled lips. \"How dare you covet me...Erasing you will be my..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spontaneously, Abaddon remembered something of greater importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whirled around, expecting K’ael to have another reaction to the surge of darkness. However, when he met the eyes of his son, there was barely even a thought forming in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked at his father, then held up both thumbs innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Very cool, father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon would have felt a bit bashful if he had taken a moment to stop and think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you alright?? Do you feel strange??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I supposed to..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon could only pat his son on the head. Having children was unironically one of the most nerve-wracking things of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is what you needed help with, my little prince of snuggle-wuggles and cocoa kisses?\" Lailah rubbed her cheek against Bashenga’s like an obsessive housecat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Bashenga’s will to live saw a very considerable nosedive. \"...Yes. I would not have contacted you in any other circumstance, but the scale of the infection is significant. Everdra is already beginning to feel the effects...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of her name, Everdra shyly turned around and pulled her hair to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared to be a black pustule had appeared in the center of her back. The darkened veins around it were slowly spreading through her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie curled her lip. \"That’s what you get for taking away our baby-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillian chopped her in the throat without even turning her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Valerie kneeled on the ground holding her throat, Eris stepped forward to place her hand on the Earth spirit’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You poor thing... You’re burning up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everdra looked over her shoulder to smile. Her brow was lined with sweat, and the energy inside of her was as chaotic as a rushing river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is truly not as bad as it looks. I fear your son was being a bit overdramatic in his concern for me... Though it isn’t as if I don’t appreciate it.\" She looked beyond Eris and winked at her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bashenga placed his hand over his chest and showed her a soft little smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... I fear he was correct to be worried.\" Eris shook her head, turning to Bekka. \"It’ll be faster and less painful if you do it, my darling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything for you, baby cakes!\" Bekka reached down and unbuttoned her jean shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MOTHER!\" K’ael covered his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!? It’s always better to do this with my pants unbuckled so I don’t feel constricted afterwards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am aware of that, but why in Elder Yesh’s name are you not wearing underwear!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka looked down at her gray pubic hair, just beginning to peek out. Shockingly, she wasn’t all that embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, ’why’ you’re standing next to the reason!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>K’ael shoved his father away, gagging. \"Ugh! Deviants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t slut shame us, boy, we didn’t raise you like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka walked past her husband and her son, shaking her head. Abaddon made sure to get a brief peek down her shorts as she walked by. It was a mistake. The scent that wafted into his nose awoke something in him that made it difficult to remember that he was in the company of his sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka walked to the nearest ledge, already licking her lips in anticipation of indulging her gluttony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her lips as wide as she could and made a subtle inhaling noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black ocean in front of her seemed to shriek, only realizing the immense danger she posed all too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bekka literally ate their opposition, Abaddon found himself continually stealing glances at K’ael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered why, for whatever reason, his son hadn’t had any reaction to the black wave when it threatened to overtake them earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>K’ael had remained his usual, calm self. Meaning that his father couldn’t easily pinpoint if the trigger was dark things, or... Something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Son, do you ever- !\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon snapped his head in another direction without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rush of air slammed into K’ael’s face, splitting his lips open and nearly ripping every hair follicle off his scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>K’ael could barely follow his father’s trajectory as he flew away. His mothers on the other hand were a completely different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is he-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were being watched.\" Seras said with a hard frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>K’ael blinked in shock. He had never even sensed anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does he need-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An earth-splitting rumble seized the side of a mountain roughly 80 miles away, causing the pillar of stone to crack open like a raw egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No, I think he’s got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entity was strange, to say the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its lower half bore three toes, all covered in a black, glossy membrane that produced a sickly mucus. Above the creature’s waist, its outer membrane turned into a white layer of taut skin stretched across a spidery frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long limbs, razor-like claws, and even the mouth full of serrated teeth were not nearly as intimidating as the creature’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not attached to its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, the creature’s eight eyes floated in a row just above its head. The soccer ball-sized oculars were a bright amethyst color and seemed to have no need to blink as any other creature would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From atop a mountain peak, it was kneeling in the snow, hiding behind a magical barrier designed to prevent it from being perceived by anyone or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how the spell should have worked. So when the creature suddenly locked eyes with the target of his espionage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature tried to move back, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Abaddon was above the creature, his nostrils billowing flame and his arm polled back to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his stalker could flee, he slammed his fist into the creature’s head with enough force to split the moon in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unsuspecting watcher was planted deep within the mountain. Beyond the momentary disorientation, he didn’t seem to be very injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst out of the far side of the mountain as it crumbled, violet blood leaking from his head but otherwise intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are one of hers. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to sniff you out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature snarled at him in response. The eyes around it’s head shone defiantly before it rushed him, claws outstretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature was fast. He didn’t fly through the air so much as he teleported. Yet Abaddon was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he hovered, he casually put himself out of reach of the creature. His lips turned into a slightly amused smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bayach’al was uncooperative at first too. Would you like to know how that worked out for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature seemed surprised to hear that name. It unconsciously flinched, and in that moment of hesitation, sealed it’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing occurred, or at least nothing visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, the two halves of the creature’s body slid apart from one another. It fell back aimlessly, never even processing that it had been bisected until it fell through a black opening, and all of its vision became filled with dark.\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-03T10:37:21.257Z","2026-06-03T10:37:26.465Z",1,"novelbin.me","f33fdacd7ab238a989595836a79eb39835942f348928415b07fb5221b9ca1966","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-1101","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-1283","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
