Need bowed for a moment after entering such a large room, "Greetings to His Majesty Ralt, thank you for letting me in" he stood up straight. A throne chair stood majestically at a distance of several meters from him. On top of that chair, sat a Demon King with eyes that flashed green.
Need swallowed his saliva. The aura released by Ralt was really strong, even making him short of breath. He purposely let out his aura like this to suppress it, "I was sent here to deliver a message of peace treaty," the release of a paper scroll.
"Give it to me" said Ralt. He suppressed his aura and made Need able to breathe a sigh of relief. The young man advanced before him and knelt down while thrusting the scroll of the letter. He took it and read it. Nothing harms him here.
Ralt expressed lazily, "There is indeed not a single thing that gives me any harm. If either one of me or Stev breaks the treaty and starts attacking, then we are allowed to annihilate the kingdom. This letter is written on a special paper. If it breaks the covenant, then the King's heart will explode and die. It's very convincing and trustworthy."
Need swallowed his saliva. He felt a little relieved when he heard Ralt say that. If it's like this, doesn't that mean he'll accept a peace treaty? The kingdoms of Stev and Ralt had been at war for a long time. They are fighting over the land of power. But even after a dozen years had passed, the war was not over. There is no winner between the two. War only inflicted losses on both kingdoms.
"Although this is good, but not for me," continued Ralt with his head propped up in his hands.
Need surprised. Why would he say that? Isn't it good that they make peace? That way, there would be no losses suffered by him.
Despite such a refusal, Need still knelt before him, "What reason did you reject him? His Majesty will even grant 1/4th of his land of power to you, if you are willing to make a peace treaty. It was written in his letter."
"Yes.. That's absolutely true. But..," Ralt's tone slowly became heavy, "What I want is not the land of power. But the death of many demons. With war, then I can do that."
Need immediately stood up when he heard Ralt's words. He was too surprised to give such a reaction, "A-what do you mean? Even if that war left many of your subordinates dead, you want to be like that?"
Ralt rolled back the letter in his hand. He was not so concerned with the impoliteness of Need who suddenly stood in front of him, "Of course I don't want to. If many of my subordinates die, then I will not be able to wage war. I was just helping to get rid of more and more demons, using the war I started under the pretext of taking the other King's land.
When I have succeeded in destroying all other kingdoms and Demon Lords, then I will kill my followers and subordinates with my own hands. That way, then I can realize my wish."
Need a serious expression, "Actually what do you want out of it? You're going to finish off all your own subordinates? Have you gone crazy?" he could not say another word when he heard Ralt's plan.
Ralt exhaled a rough breath. He threw a paper roll at Need and was captured by the young man, "You are right. I must be crazy, huh.." He took a long breath again.
Need is still watching him closely. He was confused, but also astonished by his words.
"If I were to finish off a lot of demons in this usual way it would be very unpleasant. There is no entertainment at all and what I do will take a long time. That's why, I've been preparing another plan for a long time," Ralt paused for a moment to catch his breath.
He continued, "..Leon, the demon who has just been appointed Demon King for almost 2 years, I will use it. And. I'll use you too."
Need is now becoming alert, "What do you mean? I'm not going to do any cooperation with you," although Ralt has said many suspicious words, he still speaks politely to her.
Ralt stood up, immediately Need's body seemed to become so heavy. His body immediately fell down and knelt before Ralt. Meanwhile, the scroll he was holding had already fallen to the floor. Sweat drenched his forehead. He tried to stand up, but he could not resist the immense gravity holding his body at all.
Ralt stood right in front of Need. He glanced down without bowing his head, "We will not cooperate. But you'll work for me."
Need couldn't say a single word. Ralt's aura pressed him so much that it made him unable to get out a word.
Wherever you are, what you do, I know everything. I even know that ever since Leon became King, you've been an eye for him. With this, I hold your secret. Remember it's good good."
Need's eyes shook when he heard Ralt's words. His body becomes stiff when he finds out that Ralt knows himself to be an eye for Leon. How does he know? Then what does he mean is 'creation' in his previous life?
Ralt went back around Need's body. He stood before him, "My goal is to exterminate all demons and destroy the world. I've created a story interesting enough to make it happen. Even I've been preparing Leon since he was a kid. I put most of my power into him and sealed it inside his body.
The great power to rule over the world that many demons craved was now within his body. In the end it will lead to chaos. They will create a war that takes many lives.
The more blood spilled, the closer the destruction came, right before my eyes. When that happens, the world is destroyed. You, me, all the demons, they'll be destroyed along with this world."
Ralt began to lower his body and crouched down in front of Need. He grinned, "I can control you too. Because you, are my puppet. The most perfect doll of my creation. You have your own thoughts, feelings and desires like a living being. You also have a power that can grow, as well as life. I gave everything to create you. Then this is the result."
Need clenched his teeth in annoyance, "Don't mess with that crap of yours! I am who I am. I'm not your puppet or your subordinate. I'll decide my own life!"
"Yes, yeah, that's how it turned out. You have your own feelings and desires."
Ralt's voice was now heavy, "But... Doesn't mean you can yell at your master like this."
*POV Need
The pressure from him further made my body in pain. He pressed me harder until my ears were buzzing, making my head dizzy. I close my ears tightly so as not to hear the sound.
The room around me seemed to vanish unceasingly, turning into a place so silent. I feel like my feet are not stepping on the surface and my body is floating. I tried to open my eyes and all I saw was darkness. I can't even see my own two hands.
I panicked and thought I had lost my sight. But the ears buzzing in my ears are getting clearer. I closed it and closed my eyes tightly.
The sound of a loud voice started to sound in my ears and the warm liquid I felt in almost my entire body. The buzz was no longer heard and turned into a commotion. I opened my closed eyes.
Blurry, unclear. I blinked back many times to see clearly. When I could see everything that was happening in front of me, I was immediately shocked. Some of the bodies of the guards in King Stev's kingdom were piled on top and beside my body. The red liquid they released washed me.
I immediately got rid of the body that was piercing my body. Their faces were pale and a little cold. Obviously they're dead. But.. What the hell's going on?
I knelt down while looking far ahead. The flashes of white flashes clashed against each other creating a hard twang. It was a fight. However, I can't see it well. Obviously, the fight was a big wind blow, even though I was quite far away from there.
Then I looked around. The building around me collapsed and was almost formless. If I don't guess wrong, this should be the hall room. But the room I knew was grand and spacious. Such a room, turned into ruins like this?! How could?! What exactly is going on? Who is fighting out there?
