59 Masked Group

The Firebird Kingdom, Emperor hall

"Your majesty!" A bald man kneeled in hurry under the throne of the emperor. "Speak," Said the old man sitting on the throne.

"The mysterious group are on their way here" The bald man who was sweating hard from running too much said in a very depressed voice.

"Sigh… Will they kill us all?" The emperor shook his head as he sighed. A man standing next to the emperor opened his mouth to speak "I don't believe that they will kill us, they are hunting the Order of Hatred, our enemy and from our reports, they didn't kill 1 innocent person yet."

The emperor nodded and looked to the man opposite side of him, "What do you think about this, Luke?".

Luke smiled and said "They are too dangerous, we should plan out a trap for them…" the air around him was filled with arrogance. The man standing opposite side got angry and shouted "Not even the generals of the Order of Hatred were able to stop them!".

Knock! Knock! Bang! The large door of the throne room was opened with force. "GOOD MORNING!" A masked man entered.

----------------------

Yawn, I was tired as I walked into the throne room, "Ele, identify the Order of Hatred please" I said as I found a chair to sit at. Ele nodded and began to look around before the roots tied themselves on 2 people in the throne room "I am finished brother" Ele smiled as she began to cut her extra roots.

"Sigh… it has been 1 month, where will I find mother… AH!" I suddenly stood from my chair after realizing something. 'Open Book'

Waving my hand, the fifth page appeared and I saw my full name. Ace Thalos… "I am really that idiotic?!" I angrily hit the table, scaring the emperor and his subjects.

I pinched my nose and then took a seat again. "Your majesty!" I said with a smile while I faced the Emperor as I ate an apple from the table. "Sir, may you introduce yourself?" A man who was standing next to the emperor said while a vein appeared on his head.

"Haha, My apologies, I have many names but in this world call me Black Death… I am here to kill those bastards from the Order of Hatred" My reply started with an introduction and ended with a killing intent. "Those two tied are people from the Order Of Hatred" I smiled and stood up before walking towards them.

"You! What have you done to us?!" The young man who was tied began shouting. I finally reached him and gave him a slap.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

"Eh, that was three slaps!" I said as I smiled at the young man, "You can transform into a demon now, or I will make you a slave".

Spat… The young man spits on my mask, I smiled under it and walked a few steps away. "Yama, this demon is arrogant, play with him" I walked to the emperor before taking his handkerchief and wiping the spit.

"Sorry about that but I will make you witness the fall of the dark faction on this world within a few weeks…" I said to the Emperor while patting him on the shoulder as they all watched the young man turn into a demon from the torture.

"Hmph!" Yama silently beating the demon, one punch towards the groin area, one towards the head. "Ahh!" The demon screamed as he was trying to find help, "Please! Stop!" He screamed in agony.

I looked at Yama and shook my head before going down the throne and walking towards the second tied middle-aged man. I looked at him and held his beard before I pulled it off. "Ahh!" The middle-aged man screamed, "I will give you a moment to change, if you don't I will personally use my new torture methods to make you suffer."

The middle-aged man changed into his demon form fast. "Tell me, where is your damn headquarters?!" I said to him while facing him.

"I don't know sir!" The demon replied while looking away.

Pa!

"Please! I don't know!" He cried

Pa! Pa! Ding! Dong!

"Ahhh!" He screamed.

"I will ask you several questions, answer me… ok?" I said as my mask began changing into a devil mask with burning eyes. "Yes! Yes!" He replied fast while tears of blood flowed down his eyes. "Do you know someone named Thalos?"

Both the demons went silent when I asked that question. "Hoh," I said with a grin. I closed my fist and pulled the thumb out before I slowly pierced the head of the demon who was the closest to me.

Pluk!

"Explain… Everything about Thalos" I said with a cold voice. "Yes, Master!" The demon way of speaking changed shocking the demon next to him.

"Silver-haired lady, age unknown, currently at the headquarters which is lo…" I stopped him and appeared behind the demon who was not controlled by me and killed him before I changed his body to a rune and threw it in my inventory.

I looked at the people standing around with shock and released a bit of killing intent "Whatever you hear today, will not go outside… I am understood?" I slowly said as they all responded with a nod.

"Continue speaking" I took a chair from the tables and dragged it towards the demon before sitting on it and listening to everything he had to say. The more I heard, the harder it was for me to sit peacefully…

"When will she be sacrificed?" I said as my voice was cold, "9 months from now" The demon responded. I cut off his head and began walking out of the throne room only to be stopped by the emperor. "Wait! Black Death! We can help you out!" The emperor said as he stood from his throne with dignity.

"I don't need the help of the light faction" I replied and disappeared from the view of the emperor.

"Brother, who is this person you are looking for? Thalos" Ragnarok asked confused, everyone looked at me confused.

I walked with cold eyes following the direction given towards the headquarters and replied back to my brothers and sister "My mother…" A tear fell from under the mask because I discovered that she was captured the day of my birth and tortured.

I closed my eyes and sent a command to all the demons that are affected with Paragon epidemic to explode in their bases.
