Art Gallery [Dungeon]

By the time the team finally moved through the canvas, it seemed that they were making progress. Strangely enough the sound of someone sobbing and at times screaming incoherently could be heard from time to time. Where was it coming from?

"Foul creatures, i still can't believe we let one run away... Their existence offends me." It's no surprise that sparing that demon caused great disgust within the knight, why let the creature go when it could harm a civilian later? It just made his blood boil just as intensely as if he were in the middle of combat.

"Rest at ease Lion, soon the fiend will fall by the end of our blade." Lamina spoke, in an attempt to restrain but also reassure the Knight of their righteous crusade against the great enemy.

"Should that fiend cross my line of sight again, i'll not contain my zeal again, they must be judged and purged." The Knight almost snarled barely holding back his holy wrath at that moment, the sight of a demon could send him into another berserk rage like at the beginning of the previous battle. Even before being taken in by the Black Lions he already had this primal rage within him, the order gave him a push towards the unending bloodlust he possesses now days, it's his greatest weapon on the war against the spawn of Satan.

Yet their march went on, uncaring for Albrecht's righteous zeal. As they made their way through the gallery's halls his mind wandered off to somewhere else. Someone to be more specific, Sister Maria, how the blue haired nun and her squad were performing, where they were and if they were safe. Considering how competent Maria was he shouldn't be having these thoughts, yet she occupied his mind. Similar had happened before, with his Battle Brothers and before them, there was her...


That voice, it haunted him every night, every time he closes his eyes he can see her... the crimson liquid flowing from her open veins, her lifeless body defiled and left in the dirt... That's what fueled his rage, the anger that drove him forward, the bloodlust that made him feel alive.

The desperate cries of the Demon Painter victim appeared to snap the Black Lion from this state, they should be close now. Though before they could move on the scum of the earth stood before the, it was time to purge again. He let those memories flood his mind once again, rousing his anger even further.

"MAIM KILL BURN! MAIM KILL BURN!"

The Knight made a furious and heedless charge against the demons, letting roars of anger during combat, cursing his enemies existence with extreme prejudice and hatred.

"Don't you think you're overeating a bit?" Athena questioned the knight, he was the only one who moved on the same pace as her Shiina and her dog had managed to take the lead before them, it was a pity Athena didn't have that kind of ability it seemed rather handy. "Foul as they are demons have their uses, we could learn so much from them provided we get the chance to catch one in order to study them." Athena was no scientist herself but she was the child of one and her mother's philosophy had passed to her mixing with her survival instinct. "We have already seen the restoration of old systems after the eternal divide. Monarchy, feudalism, theocracy, and other political systems have arise. Even your own order is an ancient product which use got evaluated in these troubling times. So why not use demons the way the early civilization used battle prisoners? It is clear they lack human morality, they almost ruined our world, wouldn't it be divine justice if we use them to rebuild it?" Athena knew her stance was controversial, she doubted any of them would agree with it but then again she was their superior so even if they hated it they would have to deal with it.

"Slavery is such an ugly word, I know, but one only need to study the history of the world to realize how easy the life of slave owners was.
And if said slaves were not even human then everybody wins...well everyone expect the demons but I would rather choke than place them above humans,
we only need a way to control them in masses. Imagine an army of demon builders restoring the world while a dozen of domestic servants saw to the needs of their human masters allowing them to focus on the finer aspects of life like art and science. We could build an Eden by using them, isn't this much better than simply butchering them all?" Morally Athena was wrong, she knew that slavery was a terrible thing to force on someone and she was aware that not all demons were evil monsters, one saved her life that fateful night, but the benefits of this vision were too great to pass up. Morality changes with time, the Romans didn't find slavery cruel nor did the feudal lords minded working their serfs like animals, perhaps the people of Endymion would grow used to seeing demon slaves. Of course Athena would have to first find a way to mass control the demons because in order for that vision to be achieved she would need an insane amount of demons. "Alas that's up to the Queen and her scientist to figure out, we are just soldiers doing our best to protect those we care about, no?"
