The Married Life Of Immortals

With a laugh, Bane pulled his hand back, layering counter symbols all over his palm, creating a spinning magic array that looked similar to the known diagram of the solar system in his previous. Once it was complete, Bane spit on the magical array in front of him, and then slapped it like it was his wife's ass, or at least how he might want to. Instant death was sure to occur, but the edge lived on Bane, not the other way around.

The moment his hand landed, the magic symbols started to swirl into a vortex. The moment they began to move, the red gem in the middle turned white, and then the stone started to crack. Bane frowned as the entire stone turned black and then shattered. The moment it did, his control was released, but the ring remained in place, floating in the air.

With a smile, Bane reached out and grabbed the ring. "You have caused me a lot of headaches today, Mr. ring. I am reminded of a certain scene from an iconic scene from a movie from years ago. One ring to rule the hoe, or a sure way to get rid of one."

Just as Bane held the ring up to his face, Zerynthia rose up to hover before him with lava running off her burning body.

"How dare you?! I showed you this place so you could make me your slave! Why do you keep resisting me?!" She screamed, but Bane laughed.

"Blah. You are the one that said I was the strongest. Though, it would be a real shame if something happened to this ring, right? A down right misfortune if, I don't know, the ring fell in the lava down there, right?" Bane taunted her, and the phoenix glared at him.

"What don’t you understand?! You can have me, and I will do anything you want," She said, her voice suddenly becoming sultry, and Bane shook his head.

"Sorry, but you are a grade “A” cunt. Top of your class, no doubt, and don't get me wrong, I am actually into that kind of thing, but... you're just a vindictive witch that is looking to do whatever it takes to get what you want," Bane sighed, and then tossed the ring in his hand a few times.

"But I am a phoenix," She replied, and Bane looked her up and down.

"And I am the god of all demons, clearly, so you are about as valuable as the clipping from my left big toe. Not really completely useless, but very close. Thus, I have no need for you and your shit," Bane mocked, and at the same time, brought the other two demon women up from under the cliff on his burning black cloud. "These two bimbo's have the decency to only act like bimbo's, unlike you, who chooses to be a complete and utter bitch, and I am a man with standards for the company I keep."

Zerynthia's beak hung open in shock, her eyes filled with indignation. Her entire body shook in anger as she looked at the ring, and then back to Bane. She had been treated much worse than this by the past Demon Emperor, and he had said much more insulting things, but her pride as a demon was being completely stomped on by this human creature in front of her.

"If you will not give it to me, then I will force you to wear it!" Zerynthia screamed, and tried to launch at Bane, but tendrils of lava infused with demon energy latched onto her burning body. "You think this will hurt me?!"

Bane rolled his eyes, and then flicked the ring like a rocket down to the lava.

"NO!" Zerynthia screamed as she trashed in the air to try and break free, but the ring was consumed in an instant. Before she could react, her body was pulled down into the lava by the tendrils, and then was submerged.

Bane watched for a moment, and then the lava started to churn, bubbling and boiling like it was being boiled by a massive force.

'I have not locked out your magic yet,' Onyx added, and Bane pointed his palm at the roiling lava, and focused more than normal.

Nia and Elexis watched, not sure what was going on, but then something that defied all their logic started to happen below them. Blue spell circles started to fill every inch of the caldera. Elexis tried to keep up with the spell formations, but she couldn't even blink as fast as they were appearing, much less count them.

"Is that even possible?!" Nia whispered harshly, and Elexis to a second to give her a sideways glance.

"Would you like me to slap you again so you know you aren't dreaming? What he said wasn't a joke. If this creature was an actual demon, all of our kind would kneel before him and declare him to be our god. What other being could perform this feat we are bearing witness to, if not a god?" Elexis responded, and Nia nodded slowly.

"I... I think I might fall for him," Nia said softly, and Elexis slapped her hard across the face, but she didn't turn her head, even as the pain made tears come to her eyes.

"You should use your breath to speak of things we both don't already clearly know. Now just watch this historical moment in the Demon World. I think that we are about to witness something that has never been done before," Elexis whispered, her voice almost quivering.

"You're scared," Nia stated, and Elexis gave her a sideways look.

"Terrified," Elexis responded while biting her lip with a blushing face.

"Me too," Nia said, and then leaned against the wall to watch, and both of the demon women starred as Bane's magic swarmed the Caldera, and then the lava began to swirl around Zerynthia like a tornado.

"I will fucking kill you, you piece of shit! You have no idea how long I have been saving that! These pathetic tier one Frost spells are useless against someone of my level!" Zerynthia roared, but then stopped moving in shock as she looked up.
