A Day Off

As Yzavil left, Klodian began walking towards the group passing through them as they followed suit.

"You must have some big balls, threatning sir Yzavil's right hand man."

"Remember, we aren't morally nor forced to endure physical or mental attacks, by drawing his sword againts me and with killing intent, if you, Ren and Jin Ae hadn't interfered I might have killed him."

Maria commented on Klodian's previous threat as he explained what would be the aftermath if it hadn't been for their involvement in stopping Irelio's agression as the team arrived at lounge, sitting down relaxing.

"Am I the only one who's a bit disappointed?

Ren said while sitting down on the couch, spinning one of his blades using his hand out of boredom and with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Yea, I had hope we would get our first mission today as well."

Jane added as she sat down as well.

"Patience guys, we can use this day to do something other than training! How about we play a friendly game of ping-pong!"

"I agree with Jin Ae. How about we each face each-other in a tournament bracket with Jin Ae being the first finalist as it was his idea."

Jin Ae's chill and joyus idea got followed by a suggestion of Klodian as the group nodded and went towards the game room.

As they walked inside they got met with many modern and old school games ready for a quick tournament with Jane grabbing a small box.

"Mates, drop a paper containing your name here. I've already done mine so just drop yours!"

The team dropped the pieces of paper as Jin Ae was cheering them all on with Jane drawing the first pair!

"And our first match up is... Maria vs Klodian!"

Klodian and Maria looked at each-other with confidence in crushing each-other mercilessly.

"Good luck... Shpirt."

"Same can go for you... Mein Schatz."

The two walked up to the ping pong table both holding their black and red ping pong rackets as the team gazed at them in confusion towards what the meaning behind their words were.

With the two getting in position, Maria made the first server as a battle between the two strongest members of the abbysal wings in terms of physicality and reflexes were about to face off!

*** 

However... Deep below the golden cities of heaven and the green earth, exsisted a realm of nothing but pure inferno flames.

Countless souls being tortured, demons doing the most unspeakable and vile things to each-other and to the souls of the dammned as within a crimson castle, a familliar figure could be seen walking inside.

The endless black corridors dim lighted by candles would follow a path towards a gigantic black door as the figure was about to enter, he heard a snicker coming from the shadows to his right.

"Well, well~ I didn't think I'd see you again so soon Mirian~"

"Alecinia, a displeasure to see you again so soon."

The two figures exchanged a murderous gaze towards each-other as they felt a stronger presence pass through them.

"End this petty squabbling both of you, my ears grow tired of your constant state of arguing."

"Tch..."

The two previously arguing figures stopped as they obeyed to his words, following him towards the dark gate as it was pushed open.

Inside was what could be called a royal hall, covered in relics and paintings as a crimson light shined through the red windows as another figure was to be seen sitting on a throne with only half his body being shown covered in royal black clothing with some of his red hair shining with the crimson light.

"You made me wait much longer than I requested of you... Disappointing as always."

The three figures bowed down, as the crimson light revealed them to be 2 males and 1 female with demonic features.

One of the males had black hair with a tall and well-built physique, with a pair of crimson eyes that reflected the emitted light, wearing a black kimono with two katanas sheathed on his waist. Having an emotionless look on his face.

The female on the other hand had bright purple hair with a slim and beautiful physique as her bewitching features could be shown, wearing a revealing shirt with zipper as well as a short coat with stockings up to her thigh with a pleased look on her face.

But the last one... Was one who we've met before. The same person who almost ended our MC's life previously. With white hair and his royal black robe and horns, the demon who'd be Klodian's biggest adversary had been revealed!

"We apologize, your majesty. For we have failed you."

"Your majesty, please do forgive our insolence and punish us as you see fit!~"

Mirian apologized while Alecinia added with a lustful tone with the one who appeared to be the king sighing as his white gaze turned towards the man in black hair.

"Jasien... Where are the other two moons, I requested for all of you."

"They are currently fighting againts the angels on earth, your majesty. Looking to push through into Europe and dominate Asia as we speak."

The black haired man named Jasien responded with a cold tone as the majesty got up, walking towards the three turning to Mirian.

His towering figure with red hair and white eyes gazing upon Mirian with murderous intent.

"I heard you were pushed back by a mere earthling... Is this true?"

"Yes, your majesty it is true."

Alecinia looked in surprise towards Mirian! Even though she mocked him previously, she knew that Mirian was one of the few people who could become a ruler of hell if he wanted to.

"Based on your reasoning as of to why that happend, I'll decide wether you should continue breathing the intoxicating air you are right now or diminish you from exsistance."

"That child... Used Black Aura."

Even Jasien turned around in slight surprise in his eyes as his majesty looked towards Mirian, contemplating something in his mind.

"Black aura!? Their Aura!?"

Alecinia said with a shocked gaze towards Mirian because what she was hearing, was meant to be impossible.

"Did you kill him?"

"I finished him off for good, not even his soul would survive as I had infected him with my demonic energy to destory his soul in case he did miracly survive. Your majesty, Interitus."

His majesty Interitus asked as Mirian explained that he had taken every measure possible to make sure Klodian was dead, which explains why Klodian was still fighting againts Mirian within his soul. As Interitus walked towards his throne.

"You are dismissed expect you Jasien... I wish to speak of you privately."

Interitus dismissed Mirian and Alecinia who left the room quietly as Jesian got up to face the demon king himself.

"Prepare your legions and launch an offensive on Africa. The riches of that continent can come in handy for our future plans, remember... If Mirian has failed, I want you to find this child and kill him."

"As you command your majesty."

Jasien bowed down and left the room with Interitus being left alone in his thoughts.

[A child with black aura has showed up and may still be alive... I suspect the legacy of The Dark Angels lives on to this day...]

Interitus said with a sigh as he knew that the war would become a lot harder if he Klodian was alive. The potential of Klodian growing without a limit is truly unfathomable as the dark angels kept even the demon royalty in check of millenias. If he is left unchecked, then the demons would be slaughtered without mercy.

The war is now just beginning.
