Chapter 5: Fear

Chapter-5

—------------

[ There is no other way, the only weakness of a shadow monarch is loneliness. As for finding him, I have given you that advantage to roam freely around in outer space….search for him here that is your first task ]

I fell on my knees after hearing the system,...I don't know what to do… I don't know what to do… 

'What I get myself into…mama helps me…I don't know what to do?' The future of the devil race depends on… whether I can conquer Monarch's heart Or not

I bit my lips, gathering all strength in my body and tried to stand up as I tried to walk my feet struck in sand… trying to sink into the sand. 

My fours wings popped out of my back, flying me into the air as I broke free from sand

'By the way, system, what is monarch anyway?' I asked this inwardly as someone who is known to be strongest…it's obvious I have strong Curiosity towards him.

[ The Monarchs are an ancient race of monsters who seek to wipe out all living beings from the Multiverse ]

I wipe out the cold sweat that comes from my forehead, 'if their goal is to wipe out all living beings then means not only the devil race but all of the races are in danger and what's system previously said there are 9 of these

[ You are correct…there are indeed nine monarchs:

The Monarch of Destruction, the King of Dragons

The Monarch of Shadows, the King of the Dead

The Monarch of White Flames, the King of Demons

The Monarch of fang beasts: The King of Beasts

Frost Monarch: The King of Snow Folk

Iron Body Monarch: The King of Monstrous Humanoids

The Monarch of the Beginning, the King of Giants

The Monarch of Plagues, the Queen of Insects

The Monarch of Transfiguration, the King of Demonic Spectres ]

[ Each of them possesses immense power like none other… and every other monarch except shadow monarch worked for the monarch of destruction, the king of dragons who also possess the most destructive power of all ]

'But you said…it is the shadow monarch who is the most powerful one… why do shadow monarchs don't work for the monarch of destruction like others…' I don't what the story behind this but I feel this shadow monarch has a kind of backstory. 

'And the king of dragons… is he a similar kind of mythical great red and ophis the infinity dragon?' 

[ Don't compare monarch of destruction to those inferior lizards from your…inferior realm, his only mere one breath is enough to destroy your whole planet ]

"Are you serious!?" I unconsciously shouted, if that's true then it's a matter of before my world gets destroyed.

[ Yes but you don't need to worry…about getting your home destroyed by the monarch of destruction… or any other monarchs because all the other monarchs were killed by shadow monarch ]

 I release a sigh of release… but why would he do that… and how he can kill the monarch of destruction…my curiosity towards this shadow monarch is only getting stronger and stronger

[ Shadow monarch rules over death… he has his immortal army at his disposal… the longer the battle… the stronger he gets… his power has no bound… ]

'Power over death something…similar to hades of hell?' Thinking of that skeleton God… wait if shadow monarch has a similar appearance to that skeleton then…what will I do… shouldn't that mean I have to seduce a skeleton... 

I feel a wave of revulsion washes over me at the thought. The idea of having to seduce a skeleton, even if it is a powerful being, is repulsive. 

My skin crawls at the mere thought of it. I release a disgusted sigh, trying to shake off the image from my mind. 

I can't help but wonder, why would anyone choose to rule over death and have such a horrific appearance. 

The more I think about it, the more unsettling the idea becomes. My curiosity may be strong, but I can't deny the feeling of dread that settles in the pit of my stomach, but now I just only hope for the best

[ Your thoughts are useless…your main priority should be to locate shadow monarch first ]

Useless thoughts?… at least I want him to be good-looking and… alive

I quickly turned towards the ground  as I felt something "why I felt someone watching me?" My instinct never betrayed me before because of that I survived so countless battles that's also the reason I trusted my Instincts so much.

[ You are safe for now… if any danger approaches then… I will notify you beforehand… ]

'But I was sure someone was watching' maybe because I am not in the underworld thats why I feel unsafe…*sigh*...I should focus on my task

After 15 minutes of flying….. 

"W-what the hell is this?!" I couldn't help but say this out loud because….What I am seeing right now looks like…enormous scary black castle

[ congratulations, you managed….to locate the base of shadow monarch ]

yeah….I can figure that much out myself… here goes nothing, I entered the castle which somehow open 

There is nothing Inside just large empty spaces…. how can someone live in a place… this whole place gives the depressing atmosphere

I walked straight through the hallway and entered a big hall. 

"Who are you?" I heard someone's voice as I looks towards the source of the voice. 

'H-How handsome!?' i looked up at the person who is sitting on a throne with a lazy poster 

'He is not handsome but he is devilish handsome' his Angelic sharp face… his purple glowing sharp eyes… his sharp nose... his expression is like a… aloof being who looked down on… the world

His pure black hair looks… his fair skin… his… .w-what is this… why I started to feel danger… 

I quickly turn around to see my shadow expanding… 

A monster emerges from my shadow which looks exactly…. a big ant… twice my size

His claws are as big as swords… 'I will die' my instinct is screaming at me telling me to run as far as possible….but my legs ….are trembling but not moving. 

'.move… Move!..... MOVE!!!' I tried to move but instead of moving… my knees gave up… I fall down

Why? … Why don't they move??… no I already know the answer… my body already knows it's ….useless to run….from this thing

'Fight back?' No… I can't win… no matter how 

I fight… is this the end?.... But I haven't still saved my people… help me… I don't want to die
