Dark Lord

17. The sweet revenge (II)

The atmosphere looked so gripping, the screams of the soldiers graced the battlefield along with the cries of every member of the golden Phoenix clan, the blaze in every residence, the flames, bodies bathed in blood and rain that began to slowly fall as if to silence the hardness of the war tonight so as not to be known by outsiders.

Drop by drop of rainwater that fell created a pool of red water mixed with blood from the hundreds of corpses of the golden Phoenix clan members.

Everyone who still survives now only cries considering every incident that makes them despair because of being exposed to the aura technique belonging to the sweet Devil.

Zidan who now touches the ground with his feet on his knees and 1 hand supporting his body so as not to fall on the ground also began to shed tears.

Zidan recalls his past when he was always bullied and taunted by his classmates inside the school, even the teachers who were supposed to protect the students also bully themselves with cynical and unhappy views.

The memories made him think back to when he was just a child weighing on the family and the red crescent moon clan.

"A-do I deserve to live? What is my reason for staying alive to this day? Why was I born with this terrible condition and become a useless person".

The memory of the neighbors who always whispered whispering when they saw Zidan passing before them began to reappear, the attitude of the guards of the rough red crescent clan towards him also began to be clearly seen.

The shame, fear, anger, and pain that made him despair deepened and stronger.

While Ma'ruf who fell from his spear just fell asleep while looking at the sky, even though he had felt the forbidden technique of sweet Devil many times but still he could not survive.

While the golden Phoenix clan elder just knelt down to face the sweet Devil, with a weeping and brick-styled voice he began to utter a few sentences of supplication.

"I-I, I regret my words and actions.

Please young master sweet devil forgive the stupidity of servant, please just kill the servant and release the servant family members".

Ma'ruf who heard the elder clan's words looked angry, his emotions ignited when he remembered the incident that happened to him when he was 5 years old.

The golden Phoenix Clan killed his mother right in front of the little Ma'ruf, when that old man Ma'ruf was just a fast food vendor.

Because the cost to buy daily necessities and staples to sell are increasingly expensive due to a prolonged war that does not end,

ma'ruf's parents could not afford the tax rate that was then very high.

The governor he had previously killed was famous for his greed because he liked to attract taxes at high prices to the public indiscriminately.

If the community is not able then their wives or children will be forcibly seized to be held hostage until their families can redeem or in their wives will be sold to make prostitutes.

Mother Ma'ruf's famous face beautiful made the tax collectors who at that time came from the Golden Phoenix Clan also seized her mother by force.

But because his mother did not want to obey the tax collector's order and injured one of the golden Phoenix clan's men, he, finally the golden Phoenix clan came to avenge and behead his mother in the presence of the little Ma'ruf and the thousands of people of the Nuswantara empire to warn the people not to fight the government envoy.

The little Ma'ruf who was 5 years old was only able to cry in the arms of his father who was limp, drowning, the resentment and anger that Ma'ruf felt made him endlessly train diligently from a young age so that later if he was an adult and became strong then he would avenge him to all members of the Phoenix clan gold without exception.

"Did your family forgive my mother's life when she cried and begged for forgiveness to you!"

Shouted Ma'ruf staring at the face of the golden phoenix clan elder with overflowing anger.

"Hamba understands the fault of the servant who is negligent in arranging the members of the servant of the young master, but the servant implores very much that the knight of the full moon mask and the sweet Demon knight are kind enough to forgive the life of the servant family.

If the young master is not pleased then it is enough to let the lives of our young and innocent descendants live".

The golden phoenix clan elder cried out for forgiveness so that the sweet Devil and his companions would not exterminate his entire family, even though he knew it was impossible but he still begged for mercy by prostrating.

"Don't listen to the ramblings of **** the old man Ang! We must uproot the grass so that there are no more cruel and useless humans like them in this world!".

Ma'ruf who has been blinded by vengeance only wants to demand the death of his mother caused by the golden Phoenix clan, who, because of the strenuous exercise he had done since childhood just to earth scorched all the members of the golden Phoenix clan.

Before the sweet Devil had a chance to act, 3 warriors flew towards him and protected the golden Phoenix clan elder who was kneeling down in fear.

"Sorry, we were late to realize this incident sir".

The golden Phoenix clan elder who was aware of the arrival of the three knights started to stand up and looked extremely excited.

His arrogance that was initially extinguished due to fear now began to return to make him confident and arrogant.

" Haha ha, what do you say, little boy. We have to pull the grass to the root so that one day little rat like you don't make trouble anymore".

The already angry Ma'ruf now his emotions are mounting to hear the words of the elder of the golden Phoenix clan who had previously begged for forgiveness like a rat in front of a tiger, now came back haughty as if God was siding with him.

"Two bangka! Do you think the arrival of 3 people will make the outcome of the war tonight change? Even if you bring a thousand people like the three of them then I will sweep them clean in an instant!".

One of the knights carrying a bottle of wine heard Ma'ruf's words began to laugh out loud.

" Huahahaha haha, a little ant than being a witch is better for you to be a comedian. I'm pretty sure that your bullshit talent can make you famous in an instant".

While the clan elder who heard Ma'ruf's words also laughed endlessly.

"Dumb shit don't you know who these three are? They were the famous 3-wheeled knights in the province, even the three of them had already entered in a vacuum stage! I paid them to protect my golden Phoenix clan, not to mention you know when I spoke at length earlier it was just stalling for the three of them to get to hahaha ha".

Ma'ruf who was previously angry with exploding explosives now began to be silent to hear the reinforcements had entered into the stage of a hollow witch, the difference in strength of each level was so far let alone to different stages.

The sweet devil who saw the Elder laughing out loud began to grow a little furious, he walked slowly towards Zidan who was kneeling on the ground with a look of despair.

After approaching Zidan he began to take out a sickle that had a long black upstream (handle) like that of the angel of death, it is clearly seen that the long sickle is not a weapon carelessly because every Zidan star moves that adorn the sickle was like a change of position.

The sweet devil scratched his index finger and dripped blood right at Zidan's Mask.

Miracles ensued when the blood of the sweet Devil touched the mask that Zidan was wearing, The tooth that was originally just a picture and decoration now appears on the surface of the mask.

The mask is now seen alive and stuck to Zidan's face, Zidan's eyes which were originally light brown now turned red as blood.

Zidan began to stand up slowly with one hand covering his left eye, the sound of laughter that Zidan let out was ear-shrinking and sounding terrifying.

"Hahaha ha, huahahaha ha. I finally feel the pleasure of having my own body".

Zidan who had previously looked frightened and desperate now began to laugh indistinctly like a person in a trance.

"Don't be happy first, O Prince of darkness, I wake you up to ask for your help".

The sweet devil explained the intention and purpose of why he woke up the Devil who was residing in Zidan's body.

The Demon Prince who heard the sweet voice of the Devil began to look towards the sweet Devil and noticed the sweet words that the Devil said.

"Hahaha, sweet lady there is no need to hesitate. I'm the Demon Prince will be happy to help Miss, then what does Miss need?".

The sweet devil who heard the Devil Prince's words approved his request without the slightest objection began to smile.

"Please, kill all the members of the golden Phoenix clan without exception. Don't let any of them survive even if it's just a child or a girl, while the 4 people standing there let me face it with Ma'ruf".

The sweet devil gave the order while pointing at the golden Phoenix Clan Elder along with his three knights so that the Demon Prince would not touch the four of them.

While the Demon Prince who heard the sweet Devil request started to laugh again and took out two blue and red sword blades.

The blue sword that was in the left hand of the Demon Prince was seen to have cold steam and emitted a bright blue white color while the sword that was in the grip of his left hand emitted hot steam and dripping lava the ground to make the puddle of water below it rumbled and the sword also shimmered brightly but the light was yellowish red.

"Why have you always been nice to me, sweet lady, you woke me up and gave me a big meal of course I should thank you. Not to mention that you always keep this child's body from being threatened with danger, I'm very calm and grateful to you. Now it's time for a big meal! Hiyaa".

Shouted Zidan whose consciousness was now taken over by the spirit that had been residing in his body and had the nickname "Demon Prince".
