Chapter 92 New Enemy
The Audience moved their gazes on the three below, and after some seconds, started yelling.
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!"
"Wait, what about Nevil?"
"Hmm... She took our money and escape... I say she should Die!"
"Wait, I heard she used the money to help some family, who are living outside the Capital."
"Huh, Really?!"
"Are you sure about that?!"
"I asked the family, and they vouch for her!!"
"Where is this family?!"
"I have no idea."
"....."
The Audience thought for a moment, then yelled.
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!"
"Release Nevil!!"
"Kill Zukor!!!"
"Yes!! Avenged our Prince!!"
"Yes!! Kill!!"
Aaron smiled and turned around to the three. "Are what they're saying the truth?" He asked Nevil, and added:
"Remember, You can't lie to me."
Nevil was silent for some moments, even the Audience were all silent, awaiting her answer.
"The family was dying, they needed money... I looked for jobs, but no one wanted to employ me, so I had to steal... I gave all the money to the family."
Aaron slowly nodded his head, and turned to Zukor, and Glad... "It seems your life journey ends here."
"Hahahahaha!!!!"
Zukor laughed in disdain. He moved his gaze on the Audience, and spat out.
"All you ungrateful vermin!! You forgot all I'd done for you as a king, and only focused on the bad part... Don't you know it was Aaron's plan! And you love him for that!!"
The Audience looked at one another, and smiled.
"So?! What if it's all the Emperor's plan!! He's the best Ruler we have ever had... And he gave us something that you will never give... That is; love, justice, ears, and most of all!! Gold Coins!!!! He even reduced our Taxes!!"
"Yes!!! You don't know how we commoners suffered because of your high amount of tax, but under the Emperor's rule! We will be able to save money!!"
"Yes!! Even if it's all his plan, We accepted it!! Three days without food is nothing to lifetime blessings and happiness!!!"
"We love you, Emperor Aaron!!!!"
"Forever!!! We'll follow you to the end!!!"
"YES!!!!!"
With every word spoken, Zukor's face got colder... He looked down at his feet, then at the Audience.
"Demons can never be trusted!" He turned his head to Aaron.
"Today I'll unleash my inner demon!!!!" His eyes glowed crimson.
Lilly was confused, and turned to Egon. "Commander Egon, What is an inner demon?"
"All pure, and noble blood Demons could take the form of their Demon ancestor... But this form isn't easy to activate, first you must be in the legendary Realm above." Egon stared at Zukor and added:
"I think Zukor can use this form."
"Really?!" Lilly was surprised. "I can't wait to see it."
Aaron watched as two horns grew out from Zukor's forehead and curved upward, his nails elongated, turning into claws... Zukor grew in height and size, standing ten feet tall... His skin turned red, teeth grew in length, with his canines in clear view.
"GRRAAAA!!!!!!"
Glad and Nevil quickly moved back from Zukor, staring at the monster in front of them in horror.
"How do you like me, Aaron?" Zukor asked with a grin.
"Hmm... From a Supreme, to the transcendent... Nice."
Aaron nodded.
"Don't be scared, No matter how powerful you are. In present of a Transcendent, you're an ant that will be crush under my foot." Zukor smirked.
The Audience were all horrified, seeing the huge monster in front of them, but Aaron just smiled.
"Transcendent are powerful existence, True, But to me... You're another fly that can be slap away."
"Hehehehe.... Bold words... Let's hope you can hold on to it."
BOOM!!!!
Zukor shot towards Aaron, destroying the ground behind him.
Everyone watched in shock, and surprise as Zukor's claws elongated, his eyes glowed even brightly.
BAM!!
Zukor leaped into the air, and dive towards Aaron, who stood still on his spot.
"Die, Aaron!!!"
BOOOOOM!!!!!!
Silence.....
"..."
".....!!!!"
"What Just happened?!!"
".....?!!!!"
Everyone was horrified seeing the result.
"Did.... Did!!!"
Dolor, Nevil and Glad were utterly perplexed.
Aaron slowly Lowered his hand, and looked at Zukor who lied 40 meters away from him, half of his cheek broken.
"I told you, Only one slap."
"Cough! Cough!!" Zukor coughed, throwing up a mouthful of blood.
"How...? How did you get so powerful?!! As far as I know, all your powers aren't gotten from the ruby... So how?! Highest, it will place you in the transcendent realm peak-stage! Beyond that is beyond reason... Cough!!"
He spurted out more blood.
"I told you, I don't know my Realm... I just know, I'm immortal."
"Do you take me as a fool?!! You should have said you're an Alien! Or got hit by a power meteor! How the hell are you an immortal?!!"
"Believe it or not, that's on you."
Zukor scoffed. "You might have killed me, But the skull will avenge me. Do you think we're the only one who wanted your father dead? No... The skull will have your head and family's."
Aaron frowned slightly, with the memories gotten from his ancestors; the Skull is an ancient Kingdom which practice Necromancy... They're one of the strongest force alive... But there's only one problem, the Skull's Kingdom is invisible, unknown, Lost... In a simpler form, their kingdom can't be found...
...Some said the kingdom is located in hell, some said underground... Others even said they lived in a different dimension... But everyone knew they are responsible for the Abyssal gates in our world... There was even a Rumor that the Skull are unkillable.
'But, why would the Skull want my father dead? Are they after the Demon kingdom?'
"What is your deal with the Skull?" Aaron asked.
"Deal? Hehehe." Zukor chuckled, and revealed.
"You gained the Powers and knowledge from the late Demon king... So you surely know about the impending battle... The Skull want to rule this world, and to achieve that, they have to get rid of the races... I accepted their offer for my own survival... Cough! Your father will never accept this, so we sent the skull elite forces after him... Cough! We succeeded, and the next target was the king... I killed him with the help of the Queen... Cough!! After five months, I got the news about you, Lucian's son... Who is the savior of this realm... Yeah, all the powerful and older figures know that you're not the Cursed Child, but the savior... So tell me, Is it because you're the savior that you're this powerful?"
"Hmm..." Aaron stared at him for some seconds, and asked: "So the Dark Elf you sent?"
"Him..." Zukor sneered. "He's one of the soldiers given to me by the Skull... There are the weakest of Weakest in the Skull's forces."
Aaron was surprised. 'A Cursed-Demon is the weakest?! I thought the academy's soldiers are already the strongest... It seems they're more powerful hands behind everything.'
"What about the Grand Priests?" Aaron asked.
"Those guys are working under the Skull, they are responsible for turning you Into the Cursed Child... Some of the rulers of the other races don't know this truth, but they're already under the Priests... By taking over the Demon kingdom, you placed a block on the Skull's plan... And they'll use whatever force available to destroy this block... Hehehe! Terra had just been created, We'll see if it can stand for long."
Aaron watched as Zukor breath his last... He took a deep breath and moved his gaze to his family, then turned to the people.
'I don't know the total strength of the Skull... The Grand priests are all Transcendent, and they're all working for the Skull... This means; the Skull's main force are stronger than a Transcendent... So powerful that their kingdom is unknown.'
He sighed, and snapped his fingers, the next moment; Glad dropped, dead.
"My People, You heard everything he said... Some of you know what Skull is capable of! And It seems they're getting ready to take over our Kingdom and world... So I'll ask, should we stand by and watch this happen?!!"
"No!!!"
"Let's show the Skull we're not pushovers!!!"
"Yes!!!"
"Calm down, you all seen to have forgotten that you're all powerless! Carry on with your daily lives, and leave the rest to your Emperor and the soldiers!! We'll protect our Kingdom, but first; We must take over the other races, and... We'll now be open to refugees."
"Refugees?" The Audience were confused.
"I'll be saving those from the second continent, and bringing them to our city... We must accept and treat them as one!! We can only survive if we work, and stay together!!"
The Demons looked at one another in surprise... After a while, they slowly nodded their heads.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"The Emperor is right!! We must stay together!!"
"Yes, We'll go with the Emperor!!"
"The Emperor is right."
Aaron turned to Rhea, who quickly got down on one knee. "You have my thanks."
Aaron turned back to the Audience, and opened his mouth: "Thank you for your words, and support... I give you my word; I, your Emperor will not fail you!"
"Yes!!!"
"We trust you, Emperor Aaron!!!"
Aaron smiled, and said to Rhea, and Dolor. "Meet me in the throne hall..." He then turned to Nevil.
"You're freed." With that said, he vanished from the Arena.
