Back in the Demon King camp,the Demon King sat there as he placed his face on one of his knees with looking at Nightin,beside him were two half human snakes of the female s.e.x serving him.
Looking at Nightin,he told him while teasing one of the female beside him "Pretty impressive for such a young human like you to have even made it this far to begin with. I"m sure you"re curious as to why I"m even protecting something in the middle of a war."
Nightin gritted his teeth as he kneeled on the floor trying to remove the shackles on his four limbs and necks which are restraining his movements. Even so,it was all a futile effort. The chains were made of a rare metal that even the Demon King himself finds difficult to even make a scratch on.
"So what if I care,now that you"ve gotten me,why don"t you just take my life? What"s the purpose in you capturing me alive? I won"t serve you and I will never do so!"
The Demon King chuckled as he got both the females beside him to return while he stood up as he tidied his robe and hair. "Calm down,why don"t you follow me first before you jump to such a conclusion."
With a single energy light that flew out from the Demon King index finger,it flew towards the shackles restraining Nightin and unshackled him.
"Die!"
"Boom!"
A thick gust of smoke covered both of them up as Nightin struck the Demon King with his sword as soon as he was released and gained freedom. What awaited him next however was the chuckle of the Demon King once again,the mocking sound,the sound of a King looking down on his officer.
"Young boy,calm down,just do what you"re told if you don"t want the destruction of the human race yet." The demon king had caught Nightin"s sword easily with just his index and middle finger as he stood there without even moving a inch,no fear,no worries could be seen.
Nightin kept his aura back in as he kept his sword,getting the Demon King to lead the way,he followed behind him keeping quiet the whole time.
If not for the Demon King being too strong and that he would sense it if Nightin tried to escape,he would have already done so a thousand times. He still had to rush back to the battlefield before the human cultivators get eliminated,from the ambush he faced just now,one thing is certain.
If the demon beasts race really wants to destroy their city and end them,they would have already been dead by now. Even Demon Lords are only guards of the outer areas,as for the man in front of him right now. He might even be a Emperor,a extremely young one on top of that.
On the way, countless servants and guards bowed down and paid respects to the Demon King,even the other Demon Kings did the same, proving one thing. The one in front of him right now,is a Demon Emperor. Only a Demon Emperor could make a Demon King become his servant willingly.
Soon,they approached a tall mountain,the mountain known as the Desolate Wasteland. Here,countless demon beasts of the Demon Lord realm can be found everywhere,yet news of a Demon Emperor has never ever been heard of.
The Demon Emperor in front of him finally made a formal introduction to him "Young lad, I"m sure that you"re curious of my actual ident.i.ty by now. The names Lucifer,one of the seven great demons who once ruled this world,the demon of pride."
Nightin looked at the Desolate Wasteland in front of him as he asked "With your capability and previous cultivation, there"s no way you"ll be in the lower realm. Just who exactly are you!"
Lucifer looked at the Desolate Wasteland as well as he started to talk about a long story. "You see,as the demon of pride,the other six great demons aren"t happy with the way I do stuff. Because of me,we actually got into a battle with the seven angels ourselves,in the end,both sides agreed to seal me here in the Desolate Wasteland."
Lucifer sighed as he looked at the Desolate Wasteland "Right now,even if I get back to the peak, there"s no way that I can contend against them no matter how hard I try. I"ve reached the limit even at the upper realm. This might be too far foe you right now, but I believe that the upper realm isn"t the limit."
Lucifer laughed,his laughter resounding around the area,the laughter of someone mocking himself,for being too pathetic,too useless,too foolish.
"You see, it"s been rumored by the mortals that above the sky is somewhere known as s.p.a.ce. If I"m not wrong,the s.p.a.ce really exists, that"s where G.o.ds truly belong,in the eyes of G.o.ds,us cultivators are no different from mortals."
Nightin"s face turned solemn as he looked at the ground. The ground right now is them while the G.o.ds are the ones in the sky. They"ll forever be at the bottom,the G.o.ds will always be at the top. The cruel truth,the harsh reality,feels like a thousand blades stabbing his heart.
[Lucifer"s flashback]
"Lucifer,why are you this foolish? If we were to fight the seven great angels right now, it"ll be putting ourselves into a great war which should have never happened!"
"I"m sorry Lucifer,but we won"t be protecting you this time, we"ve agreed to work together with the angels this time to send you to the lower realm and seal you up once and for all."
Lucifer looked at the six of them,disbelief could be seen in his eyes. Never have he ever expected his own comrades and allies who have gone through thick and thin with him to betray him like this.
Lucifer had attacked one of the seven great angels when he was out in the city taking a walk that day. The angel he attacked was Cameal,the angel of strength,courage and war. The reason is simple,Cameal tried to **** a woman thinking that she won"t be able to do nothing against him.
Out of rage,Lucifer had given him a punch in the face which resulted in the current plight that he"s in. Betrayal from his closest friends,what can hurt more than betrayal?
Knife wounds,sword wounds,soul wounds,yet how can they compare to wounds of the heart when the things closest to us betray us.
Lucifer looked at them with resentment in his eyes,yet he showed no signs fighting back as they sealed him at the lower realm. If even his closest friends can betray him, what"s the point in life anymore.
Having lost his light in life and being left in the darkness alone, what"s the point in staying alive? To live out a life alone by himself till the day he finally dies,no, definitely unwanted.
Only a hundred years later,did he understand, there"s no point in doing what they want. If he really wants to, what he needs to do is fight back against them.
Lucifer turned to look at Nightin as he asked "Hey young lad,how about we work together with each other to carve out a future to the s.p.a.ce and contend against the G.o.ds?"
Nightin nodded as he replied "Sure,but I expect the demon army to fall back right away."
"Of course..."
