Raruh cocked an eyebrow at his subtle threat. His master's name was one she had heard before, but the intimidation factor was simply not enough to give her any reason to pause for more than a moment. "Mammon, huh?" She asked with an amused tone and shook her head slightly as if disappointed. "Good to know that in his old age the old bastard has resorted to using lacking to do his dirty work for him." She sighed but waved her hand in a beckoning motion towards Strife. The soul that he had just pulled from the human man immediately fled from his form and floated back towards the Demon Queen. "This belongs to me though. Mammon will have to gather his souls elsewhere." She closed her fist around the soul and a small gasp could be heard as she absorbed the power of the mortal. "This means you'll have to return empty handed I'm afraid. Mammon wont be pleased." She gave him a mocking look of pity as she stepped over the lifeless form laying at her feet without a single glance.<br/><br/>The Demon Queen had nearly absolute rule while within the confines of her domain. If the demon before her wanted to fight her for the soul she had just repossessed from him he would be met with a hefty challenge. Even Mammon would have to tread carefully while facing her here. If Strife decided to retreat in attempt to get her to give chase she would let him leave. She would not be bated into running towards her inevitable death. She rather enjoyed her life and planned on keeping it for many more centuries to come. There was no room for rookie mistakes like letting herself be taunted into pointless fights.<br/><br/>With the knowledge there were more humans within her domain that Mammon had requested their souls she couldn't just leave the troublesome man alone and return to her much anticipated ritual. Instead she decided to give him a choice to make. "Why not abandon this fruitless mission Mammon has sent you on? You could stay here and I might even consider convincing my subjects to consider you as a minor deity to worship underneath me." She gave him the most genuine smile she could conjure. "Doesn't that sound better than hunting down humans to fetch their souls for some old fool who refused to do it himself?"
