Chapter 219 You Are Sorely Mistaken



So, she put a smile on her face as if she was looking at a friend she had not seen in such a long time and said, "I am flattered, if I had known that you were waiting for me, I would not have kept you waiting. I would have come running to hug you much sooner."

"Hi-hi-hi." The soul eater chuckled in a menacing small voice. "You are funny."

"What can I say, we grim reapers have a good sense of humor. Can I ask what happened to the original owner of the body you are inhabiting?"

"Ah, that wench is completely gone, I ate her soul up clean and only left enough to keep the body stable. But, you should not worry about her, she killed her entire family because of greed. You should worry more about yourself, after all you are the reason we stopped by on this ugly planet."

She raised her eyebrows and looked on curiously. "Me!!, wow, you came all the way from Xeno for me? Has my reputation spread that far already? It can't be." She answered.

Then, she laughed playfully and brushed her hand against the air, "No way, I am just level three reaper who happens to be pitifully weak." She said. In the back of her mind, she thought, 'Come into my web, the spider said to the fly.' She was the spider and the soul eater the fly. The weaker she assumed pretended to be, the greedily the soul eater, after all, who was more powerful to them than a grim reaper?

"Too bad for you then, I am a level seven, in this fight, you are going to be devoured by me." the soul eater declared arrogantly. "And, I am going to enjoy every second of it."

Scarlet wanted to extract some more information out of the soul eater before the short battle would begin. "How old are you?" she asked it. 

"I don't know, does it matter,? You seem to be caught up in all the wrong things? Do I not frighten you reaper?" It paid no attention to Severus who had changed his appearance at the last second before entering the room. He looked no different from a little puppy now, all traces of a hell hound were gone. 

"I would not be a grim reaper if I scared easily, you could be level ten and I would still face you head on with everything in me." she answered confidently. "Why were you sucking energy from the general?" 

"Oh," the soul eater came closer and whispered in her ear, "That guy, the princess wanted to make him her sixth husband but he refused, so she told me to punish him. The weaker he is, the easier it will be to control him. Not that I mind sucking his energy, he is delicious. But, she licked Scarlet's neck in a very creepy way and said, "You will be more delicious." 

 As disgusted as she was because the vile soul eater had just licked her neck, she placed her hands around it's waist and said, "I know this guy whose hugs are very painful, so painful that they nobody wants to hug him. When I told you that I would have come over running to hug you, it's because I was thinking of that guy." She tightened her arms around the soul eater in a forced hug with all of her strength taking it by surprise as it was just starting the attempt of draining her soul energy. "You are sorely mistaken you vile disgusting filth, it is not I that should be scared," she used her flame burst ability, her whole body was lit up by the green flames, and because of the hug, the soul eater too was surrounded by the flames, being refined slowly. "You are the one who should be scared."

No matter how strong they were, they could not escape the power of the flame, The soul eater struggled, and bit Scarlet's neck, with sharp teeth but Severus resumed his form, howling and growling, which frightened it. 

"H-hound," it said weakly. 

"I thought you had heard all about me since you stopped by for me but I was wrong." Scarlet laughed, "Surely it would not have escaped your ears that I had a hound, you came because you heard there was a reaper and you wanted to my soul energy, how foolish." 

The soul eater screeched, shattering the window of the spaceship and Scarlet leaped out with it because this was bound to draw people here. 

Severus blinked, sending them to the crater where she had refined the seven soul collectors from. As soon as they landed there, she threw the soul eater to the ground, and increased her intensity of the flame, in addition she took out her soul binding rope and whipped it mercilessly, venting all of her frustrations on the source of her misery. 

"I apologize, I will be good." it pleaded weakly, "Spare me, I will tell you about the princess's plan." 

"Shut up!" Severus barked, he opened his jaw wide, wide enough to swallow something whole and then he released red flames which melted the physical body the soul feeder was inhabiting, leaving only the black soul eater in it's original form. 

Scarlet pushed it into the soul gourd, and the short battle as she expected, ended. All was quiet in the crater again, not a peep or a chirp. 

More than ever, she was glad that she had come across that green flame, and in fact, she wanted more flames now. 

"I thought you would refine it completely." Severus said. 

"No way, it's a rare soul eater and I have a different list of demands to make. On the forum they say rare soul eaters are worth almost as much as pure or strong souls."

She wanted spiritual herbs, rejuvenation water, water from the spring of any deity and whatever Severus had given to Esong. Simply refining it for energy was not what she intended.

"I am going to have to cleanse this place again." she said. 

She cleansed it and they blinked, returning to the spaceship because she needed to make sure that Esong had woken up from whatever daze he was under. She also wanted to see the princess who wanted to make her husband one of her concubines. 

What kind of woman had six husbands? How did that even work? It was simply greed and depravity. 

Indeed, the princess and her guards were frantically looking around the room, searching for the missing maid. 

Behind them, was a bored looking Ian who said, "There is a broken window, and it was broken from the inside. The cameras outside show no one entering the room besides the maid. It's plain to see that she took her own life by jumping out when we were under attack because she wanted to save herself." 

"We must find the body, she could be alive_" the princess said. 

"I refuse, we have no time for that." he stormed off. 

The princess scratched her face, but she paid no attention to it, going after Ian and screaming at him to turn around. 

Scarlet smirked and went to Esong's private quarters, he was awake, drinking some water and looking at his terminal with hints of confusion in his eyes. 

She squatted down and touched his face, "he looks better now." she said. The color was returning to his face which was a good sign. 

Esong suddenly moved his face forward while she was observing him and smelled the air before saying, "Scarlet?"
