In a dark dreadful hole in the middle of s.p.a.ce, a building continued to blur and solidify. The ashen grey walls that seemed to blend in with the surroundings blocked the pa.s.sage that led into a large gaseous door. Continuing down the large ancient hallway, the black flames that gave off a eerie light flickered into small sparks. A crystallized floor that seemed to be created from gla.s.s led the way into a room. Creatures of different kinds stood there unmoving. Their faces cold and grave, not willing to even blink an eye. Further up, steps led up to a bone covered chair. This chair, which melted into the crystal ground, held a sinister creature. Three large horns laid dormant on this creature"s head. Each horn emitting a black gas-like substance. His face had a sharp jaw with skin like iron. His eyes that resembled a pool of blood viciously stared at the beings in front. His almost three meter body slowly stood up, his two refined arms suddenly grabbed towards a Phoenix like creature. Its bright red wings trembled and slowly it flew towards the mountain like hands."My Lord! Please, my Lord forgive me! It was only a small mistake! I beg for your forgiveness!" The Phoenix creatures high pitched cry rang across the hall. Its narrow eyes were full of fear as it looked towards the towering figure that held its wings. "My Lord, I beg of you! I will never make a mistake again! Please, m-"
*Screeeeeech*
The Phoenix creature shrieked as it"s wings were torn apart. The magnificent wings that brought envy from others laid on the ground, bleeding profusely. Before the Phoenix could ask for more forgiveness it"s head was severed from its body and thrown towards a wolf like creature that slept beside the large chair. Its azure eyes which contrasted deeply with its pale green fur, glinted ferociously before it pounced towards the blood drenched head. The sound of crunching echoed through the room, causing the other creatures to silently tremble.
The ruthless Demon Lord, turned and sunk back into his seat. He observed the reactions of every creature before lifting his arm slightly in the air. A demon with two curved white horns creeped out from the Lord"s shadow. With his dull red eyes and wrinkled eyebrows, the demon servant walked towards the middle of the group. He solemnly glanced at all the beasts in the room.
"My Lord will be going to be away for some matters and will need someone to handle his affairs here. As his humble servant, I will be taking the role to watch over his abode." The demon servant swiftly spoke to the rest. The Demon Lord"s droopy eyes slowly opened up before he stood up and indifferently strolled away with the wolf beast following suit. As the Demon Lord faded into the distance, the lingering essence that was left behind caused the group to be tense and silent. Their gazes were downcast, not daring to glance towards the domineering figure with his three sharp horns.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Demon Lord leisurely walked through the ghastly building that got darker as he progressed through the building. The wolf bared its teeth before suddenly transforming into a handsome youth. The pale white skin accentuated his aged azure eyes. The green hair that rested on his oval head reached just below his shoulders. While walking silently behind the three meter monstrosity, the wolf"s height reached the Demon Lord"s stomach.
"Master, where do you plan on going this time? If you want something, this beast of yours can quickly obtain it." The emerald haired youth curiously looked towards the Demon Lord. As the strongest being to have ever existed, his Lord never needed to go out. Creating different species and worlds, conquering territories and even slaying the mightiest of beings were only things the Demon Lord did out of boredom. With his unmatched strength, was there a need to travel?
"Zhaik, why do you speak so formally with me? You are welcome to speak any way you wish!" The Demon Lord looked annoyingly at the wolf, Zhaik. As his closest friend, The Demon Lord did not like the formality that Zhaik used. It felt unnatural.
"My Lord, as you are now the mightiest being in existence, I am only showing the adequate respect." As a creature that achieved realms far out the view of anyone in the universe, the Demon Lord had no equal. He had no one that could stand with him at his peak. His life became dull. To liven things up, he proclaimed himself as the Evil Emperor and fought against the world. But none were a match for him and his army. He wanted to go out and discover new power. A power system that could give him enlightenment to further his path.
The feared Demon Lord, who in the eyes of others was the most talented and ruthless person, stared into the empty s.p.a.ce sorrowfully. Zhaik watched his master quietly. As a creature that followed The Demon Lord for the longest time, he knew how his master truly felt.
"Zhaik, a very long time ago my family was slaughtered ruthlessly just because they were common Demons. As my closest friend I wish for you to treat me the way you did in the past. However, if you feel that it is uncomfortable then act as you wish." The Demon Lord helplessly shook his head
"Master Arnin, why do you wish to travel?" Zhaik was still confused as to why his master, Arnin wished to travel.
"Zhaik, I once created a world that was only smaller than heaven. This world was sealed away ten million years ago in a reclusive s.p.a.ce. In that s.p.a.ce was a type of energy that differed from what we see around us. I wish to study that power and use it to break through into a new realm." Arnin stared into the the void, his gaze penetrating until it reached a vast green planet. Slight twirling blue threads and chunks of brown were placed in random. Zhaik, who did not possess the power to penetrate s.p.a.ce with his gaze, watched Arnin silently.
-----------------------------------------------------
While Demon Lord Arnin and his wolf beast Zhaik were conversing about the journey, the demon servant, Kulgag was discussing some plans with the other creature emperors. "Dragon Emperor, how long do you think master will take on this trip? We need to keep his place the same as before or… you know the consequences!" Kulgag, who was pushed to take responsibility solemnly spoke to the Dragon Emperor. Other than Arnin, Zhaik and the heaven lord, the Dragon Emperor was one of the strongest beings in the universe. The Dragon Emperor"s dark blue scales dimmed when compared to his bright golden eyes. The two curvy horns sat on top of his pointy long ears. His body, which shrunk into a small size, allowed for his thousand meter tail to only be five meters.
"Lord Kulgag, you already know how much I fear Master Arnin. I may be strong but I am not even worth breathing the same air as that G.o.dly monster." The Dragon Emperor helplessly shook his head. Kulgag, whose power was very similar to his own, and maybe even a little stronger, was only a servant to Demon Lord Arnin. What could he then do?
"Dragon Emperor, I just want you to make sure that no one from the heaven realm comes to this black hole. After Master Arnin leaves, I am planning to teleport this hole into a more secluded area."
As the two beings discussed their plans, the other creatures listened quietly, not daring to make a sound. The stifling environment suddenly became a lot more tense when a large door slammed open.
"Kulgag, I will be leaving with Zhaik. Make sure nothing happens, or you will be answering to my blade!" Arnin spoke harshly as he grabbed one of his long, black blades. This blade, which resembled a katana, was extremely long and narrow. It was thrusted into the open s.p.a.ce and a tear appeared. This action was seen by all creatures but they were too nervous to even look towards the mighty being.
Arnin and Zhaik stepped through the tear and suddenly disappeared. Noticing that the heavy pressure was dissipating, all the creatures raised their heads and gave a heavy sigh of relief.
----------------------------------------------------
In a far away s.p.a.ce, a small tear appeared. Stepping out was a large, three horned demon and a green furred wolf. Both stared at the world in front. "Zhaik, I am going to seal my powers and force a reincarnation. I will be placed into a random location and into a random species. You do the same. Make sure not to use your powers unless it is necessary!" Without looking back, Arnin made some complicated hand signs, which caused his body to shrink into a light beam. The grey beam shot into the vast world, leaving Zhaik to watch with a slight smile.
