Chapter 178: The Altai Mountain
*Back to The Gentle Maiden*
"She is hosting Ezelreth, the son of Cerberus, the God of Darkness and Death. He is the first energy vampire, contrary to the current popular belief." The Leviathan dropped a heavy bomb. And the mention of Ezelreth put a wrench in Lilith’s heart. A profound ache nuzzled into chest, taking root and consuming her.
She remembered the name but couldn’t place it.
"Who the fuck is that? And how do you know?" Ash growled, ready to tear the Leviathan’s throat out.
"He is the enemy, which makes Violet the enemy. She will create an army of monsters that will flood the planet like a plague. If she is not stopped and the soul is not extracted and contained, it will devour her soul, making her no more, taking her out of the cycle, it will simply cease to exist." The Leviathan had a more serious tone now, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the faces that surrounded him.
Ash was caught in a web of confusion and disbelief. He knew his wife, he knew her. But she’s been acting different, and then she came back the other night and she smelled different. She smelled like death. And her eyes, they were slitted, like a dragon’s. And then there was the fact she mentioned an army of monsters with no will of their own, driven by hunger and insanity.
The more he thought about it, the more it added up. And as he looked around the room at his family, it seemed like they all came to the same conclusion.
Ash gathered himself and asked "So how do we stop him? How do you even trap the spirit of the son of a god?"
"With two things, a stone I don’t know the name of, and the daughter of Artemis the Goddess of the Moon and Hunt. The perfect counter to the DarkSon. The MoonChild."
The room went entirely silent.
