Chapter 4: :I’m The Boss
Aiden cautiously moves deeper in the subway station, with the ant demon by his side. Aiden felt more safe, though this was his apocalypse.
After a long, deep walk, the subway station began introducing cave-like pathways, with blue flames on the walls lighting the path clearly.
In front of them was a colossal golden-red gate with intricate designs on it. Aiden sighs. "Just as I imagined it."
Stepping closer, the door automatically opened itself. At first, when Aiden stepped in, the place was dark.
However, blue flames on the wall gradually turned on by themselves, surrounding the pillar room and an empty throne ahead of them.
"Hmph, I didn’t add stealth to your abilities. I know you’re in here, old friend," said Aiden with a smirk.
The moment the word old friend left his lips, a black, gigantic serpent launched from behind the throne, roaring tremendously in front of Aiden.
So close that he could see its tongue and human-sized fangs covered in blood and snake slime.
After the rude entrance, the serpent demon—Aiden was unfazed—retracted itself back, coiling and accompanied by a shimmer of light.
As the light faded, a lady with long, black, floating hair appeared, having the upper parts of a woman and downwards that of a black steel-scaled centipede.
"Old friend? Have you come to battle me?" she hissed, coiling around her throne.
