Feeling a sharp pain in his chest, Val looked below and found an arrow embedded in his chest.
A sweetness gushed up his throat and he couldn't hold it back.
" Splash!"
The ground was covered in purple colored blood as Val fell down on his knees.
" Ha..Ha….I can't believe myself. The Supreme ruler of Demons is kneeling in front of me ". A voice disturbed the silence in the area.
Val slowly raised his face and what came into his sight was a tall man with black hairs and a sharp fair face wearing glasses and leading a dozen of people in blue robes toward him. He appeared to be a scholar. But the exquisite bow in his hand and the emblem on his chest spoke otherwise.
" If it isn't the Vice Chancellor of the Peace Council. Today is indeed...full of surprises ". Val smiled even in his grave condition as blood continued to flow out of his wounds.
Seeing the scene, several people behind the Vice Chancellor trembled. They had trouble breathing as fear appeared in their eyes.
They could see a silver fog leaking out of Val's body which slowly transformed into a Dragon.
" It's the White Monarch!! ".
" White Monarch!! "
...
" Disperse ". A sweet Melody rang out of the Vice Chancellor's mouth and the shadow of the dragon disappears.
" Splash ''
More blood gushed out of Val's mouth.
" Don't let him fool you. It's only an illusion of his power. He has lost his strength ". The scholarly guy spoke while wiping his sweat as his eyes flicker with cold gleam.
" But still, I can't believe... you possess the power of White Monarch. It only gives us more of a reason to kill you ". He spoke with a trace of fear in his eyes.
" Finish him ". He ordered the guy behind him and two guys with blades on their waist stepped forward.
" Stop staring at us you filthy being ". One of the guy growled as he swung his palm towards Val's face.
" Slap!".
A thunderous slapping sound resonates and the other guy too moved not planning to let this chance go to waste.
After all it wasn't every day that you get to beat the crap out of demon king.
" I am the heavenly being, who rules the three realms…", Val muttered in front of the two's confused gazes.
" He is going insane ". One of the guy spoke while putting a foot on Val's face.
" I am the...Sovereign of Destruction…. ..I...hereby..command…the..blood...of the rulers…".
Hearing Val's words, the Vice Chancellor frowned when a thought suddenly struck him and he yelled.
" KILL HIM !! "
Hearing his commander's words, the guy with one foot on Val's face pulled his sword out and stabbed it towards Val's mouth..
But it was too late.
" grant...me..the..strength…", Val muttered before the blade reached him.
Clang!
The guy's eye widened as he looked in did believe. The tip of his blade was caught by Val's teeth which seemed to be growing into fangs.
Crack!
The shattered in Val's mouth. The guy too felt a chill running down his spine. But he was too late.
Boom!
A huge explosion occured covering the area in smoke and dust
" What happened ? "
" What's going on? "
The surprised voices of the Peace Council members could be heard.
Suddenly an eerily voice leaked out of the smoke as a frightening pressure and killing intent descended from thin air.
" Sacrificial Blood Art "
" He's still alive, everyone attack ". Someone yelled and they started charging.
But these idiots didn't realize that their commander had already slipped back with the bow in his hand.
Suddenly a wind blew lifting the dust away and what appeared was nothing but pure evil.
Everyone freezed to their spot.
Val's skin had started to peel out of his body. And his body had started to c***k.
What was evil about it?
Blood...
Anything which relates to sacrificing blood is considered to be evil.
And right now, there wasn't a single drop of blood flowing from Val's body cracking body.
Then where did it go?
It was vapourizing. He was sacrificing his blood.
The purple colored smoke from his blood burning started to decay the surroundings.
There was a pin drop silence as no one dared to speak.
But it didn't last long as Val spoke with a crazy smile on his face.
" Ants! ".
Boom!
The land shook and cracks started to appear on the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
..
..
..
One after another, every guy was forced flat and they continued to sink deep into the ground as blood continued to pour out of their seven orfices.
This was the strength obtained after sacrificing the blood of the Demon king.
Val stretched out his hands before clenching his palm into a fist. He knew he had reached his limits. His body was about to fall apart.
He couldn't continue to stay here.
He raised his face in the direction of the Vice Chancellor and spoke.
" I will be leaving today ".
" But tell the Pope, if I return one day. It will be his last day, ..obviously, if that bastard from the House of Nephilim spares him though."
With that Val waved his hands in the air and space in front of him was torn apart resulting in the formation of a space tunnel.
Seeing Val leave, the Vice Chancellor wiped the sweat on his face before speaking.
" I hope to never see him again ".
" He really doesn't change. Leaving it all onto me . I will thrash him if I find out where he went ". Suddenly a voice sounded right next to the Vice Chancellor's ears surprising him.
He hurriedly turned around and his eyes widened as he started to stutter.
" Those...wings..y..you..are a Nephilim...."
The man behind him was in his teens. He had smooth and silky long hairs which matched very well with his fair jade like skin. His every movement had an elegance to it.
" Znngg! " . A black flame bursts out and engulfs the vice Chancellor's body.
" Ahhhh!...This..power y..you are Lucifer...the... person...said to possess....the strength equivalent to the...Demon King ".
" Ha...Ha...". His scream suddenly turned into a crazed laughter as he spoke .
" This is really .. the year..of....geniuses. Ha...ha...but don't think you are...the only ones... the House of Argonaut ..and the.. House of Arthur has...produced...Geniuses too. Ha.. Ha...".
Soon his laughter disappears as he turns into dust.
