Chapter 161: This Time Around
Pride flung himself down on his throne, flinching slightly as the four gouges on his back hit the chair. "Fucking Hell," he groaned as he felt his body healing itself from the inside out. The only problem was that that particular demon had poison in its talons and teeth, and it wasn’t fucking around.
It was weird; he had been close to a final death so many times due to overusing his powers, and yet, every time he thought it was the end, a new burst of energy slammed into him. He had a good idea who had given him that top-up, but there was no way she was able to get that many wishes in that short amount of time.
"The place or the expression?" sighed Greed as he slowly entered the throne room, his left leg dragging behind him uselessly. "’Cause I agree with both statements. No wonder the Devil doesn’t want to deal with this shit."
Gluttony scoffed at his statement as he, too, limped inside the room and gingerly sat down on his throne. One of the Night Mares had taken a chunk out of his ass, and it was taking a bloody long time to heal. "All that prick had to do was snap his fingers, and everything would be right as rain. That’s why he is the big guy in charge."
Lust strolled in casually, snickering under his breath as he enjoyed the pain and misery of his brothers. "And that is why you need a power that turns people on each other. I don’t have so much as a bruise."
"And no one had to see the fucking orgy that you incited," shuddered Envy as he cracked his neck from side to side. "I never want to see that much dick again, thank you very much."
"I never knew you were such a prude," replied Lust, looking over his shoulder at the other demon.
"Fucking in the middle of a war was just..." sighed Envy, not sure how he could really explain or get over the fact that two thousand demons raced toward them, only to drop their weapons one second and their clothes the next.
At least he wasn’t the only one scared for life at the end of that battle. He was pretty sure that some of those demons were going to need a massive amount of therapy before they even thought about going against Lust.
