Chapter 75 Demon lady
At least three demons stronger than greater demons were in that area. They felt strong but weren’t named demons, possibly the children of a named demon. As I got closer I began to laugh at my luck again. It was Trigon’s army. He was just using the weaker demons in case this was a trap or some other such reason.
If he sent through his stronger demons we’d have been in far more trouble but fortunately, it wasn’t him who controlled them. Three of his sons. They were by far weaker than the sons of Mephisto. I’d rather fight all three of them over Blackheart any day. Blackheart was almost as strong as Mephisto if not stronger in a real fight. If all six had shown up we’d be in trouble but it looks like they were trying to do the three sons of Trigon storyline.
Trigon most likely doesn’t even know they’re here and the attack on New York was more of a distraction to get their sister than anything. It just so happened that their sister was currently fighting them with the Teen Titans and Spider family. Gwen flipped around webbing up a busted piece of concrete while Miles jumped off it propelling himself towards Ruskoff.
The Trigon family played a much bigger part in the new stories essentially working as their father's generals while Mephisto’s son left him to die near the end of the comic book series. If they weren’t sent home then we wouldn’t be able to close the portal. Killing them would go a long way to pissing off Trigon though and that wasn’t something I wanted to do.
I needed a way to get them to go back through the portal Reed made and then I could really hurt them. It was becoming clear that Raven was having problems controlling her demonic form as her skin color kept changing between pale gray and red. I slowly approached her as the fighting grew more intense. I called out before getting too close.
“Hello Raven. If you don’t remember me I’m Danny. Cass and Stephanie’s boyfriend. Can I help you with the demon problem you’re having?”
Her skin color changed to that of more red as she slightly grew when she answered me. “Does it look like I need your help!? I could destroy all of them if I just l-let my powers go!” I stared in silence as I thought about the different versions of Raven. She can become a multiversal threat and they got her doing soul magic and hiding her emotions so she doesn’t destroy things.
Yeah, that’s the first thing they teach you in anger management. Bottle that shit up and never let it out because that will never, ever backfire. I told her again. “I- The people who taught you magic did you a huge disservice. Bottling your emotions might work if you planned on hiding away from your father forever but it won’t work if you plan to defeat him.”
If she learned real magic I had no doubt she’d be equivalent to a ninth circle mage. That is the type of person who could make or revitalize dead planets. Magic so strong creating a new life on Mars and ruling as a god wasn’t out of the question. I sighed as I decided to help her out even though the chances of us ending up together is practically zero.
I slowly approach her and she yells again. “Go away! I don’t need your help.” Still slowly walking towards her with my hands up I say. “If you don’t want my help you’re going to have to kill me.” I take another few steps and it looks like she’s going to attack me but stopped. “Fine. Do what you will.”
She went back to trying to meditate so she didn’t become her demonic form. I closed the remaining distance and checked out her power source and can see what is causing her problem. The demonic energy is akin to a pot of water right on the verge of boiling over and just being in the presence of her brothers makes the energy want to activate to defend itself.
That gave me a few options. I could absorb some of her power effectively making it harder for her power to boil over. That’s the worst option in my opinion and limiting her power gave her the overflow problem in the first place. I could bottle her power effectively sealing it for this fight then fix it later but that was putting a bandaid on the problem. I doubted she’d let me help her after the fight if I used that method.
No, the only real solution I could think of was to fix the problem at the source and undo all the negative traits the particular way of magic made her apply to herself. If you think of Raven as a vessel to hold demon power they made the vessel weaker and smaller by putting a block on her emotions. Just undoing the block would increase her power by tenfold, if she learned how to harness that power without giving into the demonic pull she could fight on par with Trigon.
If she gave into the demonic power she could defeat Trigon but that’s not what we’re looking for. With biomatter control and diagnostic touch, I can actually see her mental emotional block. It was surprisingly easy to get rid of but did I want to? It would cause her powers to go out of control but they were already going out of control.
I put a forcefield and magical shield around us. That would stop them for about a minute if they started targeting it the second I try to do what I want to do. A knife came out and the look of shock was the last thing Raven did before I stabbed it into her chest. Very rapidly the container I aimed at that controlled her demonic powers began to leak throughout her body.
Oh no! I stabbed Raven and she’s definitely going to die! Yeah, that’s definitely what was going to happen. Her body wasn’t just flooded with a fuckton of demonic energy and she was now growing stronger by the millisecond as her body grew to accommodate the energy. If she could keep her mind intact not only could she use stronger magics but she would also have a much, much stronger body.
Immediately her body changed colors to red as she grew another set of eyes. Before she could retaliate I took her moment of shock from what I just did to link our minds.
