Chapter Six: Long for Your Blessings (Part 2)

"Adel, do you know why we are here?"

The moment Pastor Orobas uttered that question with such a sweet voice, steamy breath reaching the inner of my ear, my body suddenly jumped and I felt like I had just woken up from my longest dream.

Then my head immediately turned toward his face above, being slowly released from the daze, I found myself being carried in the demon priest's arms... bridal style, behind us was a ritual altar; that same altar I saw in the Hall of Faith.

Huh...?

"Are you even listening to me, my angel?"

"P-Pastor Orobas, sir--?" To tell the truth, I had zero ideas what was happening, but I almost yelped seeing those golden eyes looking straight into my soul, holy sh*t, how come them eyes illuminated themselves under this slightest bit of shadow???

"You're not listening to me..." To make things worse, as he mumbled those words under his breath, using his low-pitched voice, I could feel him tighten up his grip, then he pulled me in closer, closing the distance between my face and his face, and also locking our eyes even more intensely in the process.

"My angel is not even paying attention to me... How sad..."

"Pastor? W-What's even happening? Why are we--?" And then, the second I tried to wiggle myself out of his arms...

"Are you going to resist me, my dear? You shall NOT."

The sense of pain so strong it made me scream suddenly permeated into my brain, torturing my whole being with the feeling of being pierced by hundreds of needles, ridden me of all my thoughts and speech.

"ARGH???!!!"

My head?! Oh God! It hurt! It so f*cking hurt?!

"Stop resisting. You simply have to do your duty - the duty you were born to submit."

"Just give me your blessing, and you shall be free."

"Argh?! Ahh???!!!" I couldn't speak. I couldn't think. I couldn't even beg him to stop. I just screamed my lungs out, feeling myself being devoured by pain so immense, it felt like I was about to go insane, if-if it continued for longer than this, I might just go insane!!!

"Oh, my poor angel... Who would want to hurt you so badly? I dream of cherishing you, treasuring you, even loving you..."

"If only you give me your blessing, I, the Prince of Hell, could show you the world of beauty where we marry in the garden of everlasting blossoms."

"No, no, no, no?! NO?!" No marry! Don't do this to me! Please let me go???!!!

"Still resisting? What a strong-willed maiden..." After the demon murmured those words, he then lowered my body so that my feet touch the floor, and then he held me in by the waist, gorgeous face moving so close toward my neck.

"What could be so wrong for giving this demon your blessing? You have given it to that kid already, haven't you?"

"NO! NO, I DIDN'T?! PLEASE, I DIDN'T!!!"

"ํYou're lying. Your neck reeks of that lion's musk... It's disgusting. Let me clean it for you~" as he whispered with a smile, his eyes were losing all their sparkles, making him look almost like he was in a state of trance - like he became a total different person.

Just like Leo when he got 'hungry' back then.

"Ah... Blessing from the one Angel who was destined to walk amongst the Earth... Would I be forgiven for this? My being is full of sin anyway... So I might just take a bite..."

Oh God, this again... Why? Why must this fate always be bestowed upon me?

During those dreaded seconds, I had nothing but despair in my mind. Who would know what a demon's bite gonna be like? I might die from blood loss right after his fangs chomp down on my skin, or he wouldn't stop at just biting my neck but start eating me literally, just imagining about all of that made me think of Arie and how I might not be able to see him again.

Arie, brother is so sorry, don't forget to ask the Hunters for double compensation in case I can't make it out of here alive, and in one piece...

Although, the moment I decided to close my eyes, letting fate take me--

"HEY YOU???!!! THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING, YOU HELLISH SCUM???!!!"

There came a voice as loud as the mighty roar of the king of beasts, it intervened Pastor Orobas in the middle of settling his fangs onto my skin, and at the same time, causing me to turn my head so freaking fast toward the entrance of the room, looking for the newcomer with a sudden rush of hope being pumped into my heart.

Leo?! Oh God, really?! My Knight in Shining Armor--

However, the next thing I saw was not his kitty face, but a fooking wooden door that got sent flying straight toward us, such a sight caused me to choke on air and let out the unholy words "HOLY SH*T!" in front of the sacred altar in the sacred Hall of Faith.

F*ck me, surely I was not welcomed into His Kingdom any longer. Such was the consequence of getting saved!

Still, I didn't get hit in the face by that door though, thanks to my unholy words (?), Pastor Orobas seemed to regain his consciousness all of a sudden, his eyes widened and he dropped my pathetic ass onto the floor, then he himself faced the door alone.

For some unfathomable reason, in the depth of my mind, I still felt like shouting "Pastor, get down!" to warn him of the incoming danger, despite almost becoming his demon food myself.

Anyway, the second that door did hit him, I immediately found out that there was really nothing to be concerned about.

Because as soon as the wood made contact with the slender figure, his body then pierced right through it like it was just a slice of cheese, putting a big ass human-shaped hole within the wooden door.

"...?"

What the--

"Ah, sh*t! Almost forgot that you f*cks are semi-invincible! And did you just throw my wife on the floor, huh?! You dared throw my wife on the floor?!"

"..."

When Leo began to walk toward us while pointing his forefinger at Pastor Orobas who just went silent at the same time, I found myself, yet again, being ridden of all speech... And then I started to notice that the demon priest was crackling his damn knuckles, the sound *crack crack* literally resonated through the air of the still room, giving me a few goosebumps.

Lemme guess, he started doing that right after he had heard the words 'My wife'?

"Your wife?" asked the demon priest softly.

"Yeah! Problem, you albino gecko?!"

"Well..." As the pastor, yet again, spoke with a soft voice, somehow I could feel the atmosphere getting a whole lot denser and I started to shiver.

W-What was this aura? Why did it feel so menacing?

Anyhow, looking back to Leo who obviously seemed to have become the demon's target, the kitty boy didn't even flinch, as ever. "Well, well! So you're gonna throw hands or what?!" shouted the boy who also was crackling his own knuckles.

"Please, have some honour. We demons don't 'throw hands', rather we 'duel'."

"What-f*cking-ever! Throwing hands is throwing hands!!!"

"What a barbarian... Fine. Place your price then..."

Uh... Pastor Orobas...

Are you SURE you want to duel HERE in the place where you are closest to the Lord...?

"Grrr! You know my price!"

"...And suppose that you know mine."

'Then what are we waiting for? LET'S DO THE F*CKING MAYHEM' Somehow I just had to add those sentences into their conversation, as I really felt that that was what they intended to do.

Nevertheless, at that moment, when Leo finally started to raise his fist...

"Hey, you delinquent atheist, how about you read some bible, calm the hell down, and not pick a fight with a person of priesthood in the room where we are closest to the Lord?"

Suddenly, on the kitty's head, there was a thick ass book falling down from above out of nowhere, and it fell so fast, he didn't even seem to be able to evade it, thus, it hit him right on the top of his messy head with a loud as hell *THUD*, rendering him unconscious in the blink of an eye.
