The Demon General Is A Man

Ritual of Resurrection

CHAPTER 24: THE RITUAL OF THE RESURRECTION

After passing through the gargoyle line, they stepped into the palace. When the view is fixed into the room, seen on the side of the palace, there are various statues of magnificent adamantite stone. Some statues depict fallen angels with folded wings. The angels are depicted with faces full of disappointment and suffering, as well as bodies wrapped in decay and destruction. Their wings, once beautiful and beautiful, now look broken and crushed. Beside the fallen angel statues, there is also a half-goat human statue that causes fear and singularity. The strong human body was combined with the towering horns of a goat, creating a strange and sinister fusion. Their faces were depicted with expressions of hatred and thirst for blood. Each of these adamantite statues looks so realistic, with astounding detail. Each curve on the adamantite stone depicts a tragedy in the past. The beauty they once had, was now turned into a symbol of darkness and destruction. They walked forward, not far from the front door there was a fountain that presented a different view. However, instead of emitting clear water, this fountain let out flowing fresh blood. Blood flowed from the top of the fountain profusely, forming red splashes that fell by pounding into the pool below. The pool was filled with blood gathering, creating a glittering, dark red surface that reflected a dim light within the palace. Asmothia inhaled the scent from the fountain, the scent she felt was not blood but something different.

“ What is this smell, never once have I smelled this scent “ Asmothia said.

When Azazel's servant wanted to explain, Hefei interrupted her, “ Princess Thia, this is called the scent of the soul. The soul that was already recorded in the contract would end up being this water. Only demons level 13 and above can enter this palace, which is why you never know something like this “

Then Asmothia held Hefei's hand, she said “ Mr. Hefei, next time tell me about the past events “

Hefei knelt down in front of Asmothia, holding both of his arms, “ If it's time, I tell you all about it. Let's walk again “

They continued their journey carefully, climbing the stairs leading upwards until they finally reached the intersection of two branching roads. Azazel's servant led the group towards the second branch, and all followed him. The long passageway they passed through was brightly lit by the demonic flames that were plastered on several sides. The light radiating at the end of the passageway pulled them forward. As they stepped through the light of fire, they arrived at a very spacious room. In the center of the room on the floor was a large circle engraved with seven demonic symbols symbolizing power and darkness. The circle is a symbol of the power that surrounds the entire room. However, what stole the attention was a large hole located in the center of the circle, a bottomless hole filled with fire and rumbling sounds as if it was a gate to the center of fire in that world. Eight statues surround a large circle on the floor, each symbolizing one of the eight eternal torments. Each statue presents a terrifying picture of the endless torture in the 8th layer. On the other hand, a giant statue of Azazel loomed high near the wall, his throne was under his feet.

On the right side of the Azazel statue, there are seven statues of demon elders that are symbols of the supreme ruler of the demon realm. On the left side of the Azazel statue, there is a statue of King Hellbert and four demon generals, who are the rulers of the middle. All of the statues exuded the aura of each ruler.

Asmothia, curiously, turned her gaze towards Servant Azazel.

" Where are we? "

Azazel's servant looked at Asmothia with great respect and replied, "We are now in the Holy Place, the place where the purified souls are. This was where a servant would be resurrected through a special ritual by the First Elder, the Exiled Angel "

The First Demon Elder directed his gaze at Asmothia, Hefei and Frost, his voice echoing within the spacious room. " Your servant, Morgan, will be resurrected from his being as a human being into a pure Devil. In performing this ritual requires a very great sacrifice of the surviving souls "he said in a firm voice.

Asmothia, humbly, replied while bowing her body, "I'm sorry, Elder. What sacrifice should I make? I am ready to make such a sacrifice if necessary "

The Demon Elder smiled slightly, his eyes filled with wisdom. " There's no need to worry about your own sacrifice. Because His Majesty Azazel had given the sacrifice of three million sea dragon souls, and a hundred of them were their elders. This far exceeded the initial estimate. At the very least, his success rate was at 1000%, and it was likely that Morgan would become even stronger "

The Demon Elder continued, "However, Crown Princess, there are two choices you must make. His Highness Azazel wanted Morgan to be an Elder of the Devil, while your bond with him was only as Master and Servant. Before the ritual is performed, is there anything you want to convey so that Morgan can be on your side? Make me satisfied with your answer "

Asmothia spoke the words she had in her heart. " Morgan is my loyal servant. My days with him have formed a strong bond between us. I put a lot of trust in him, and he gave me great experiences in life in Luminos. My strength has also increased thanks to his presence, and Father has acknowledged him as my servant "

The Demon Elder heard those words, then replied in a loud tone. " That's all? Such an answer should come out of the mouth of a human, not from a demon! True demons do not know love or happiness. Demons also cannot live forever in the mortal world, much less for a Crown Princess like you. Only low-class demons live in the mortal world. Your reply was indeed disappointing "After saying so, the Demon Elder walked away.

Asmothia pondered for a moment, realizing that all her answers had focused only on herself, not on the interests of the kingdom. He gathered his thoughts and courage in his heart, then in a loud voice, he called out, "Demon Elder, wait! " The elder stopped in his steps.

" Before Morgan died, I always trained him to be strong. My plan to make it strong is no nonsense. I promised him that he would be a powerful figure under my watch, serve me, and protect me.

The Demon Elder looked at the Princess seriously, "If she really becomes strong, then what are you going to do? I'll give you this chance just this once. If your efforts fail, then everything will end "

Asmothia clasped her hands firmly, looking at the Demon Elder. " I. will make it... The fourth Demon General! " he loudly shouted before the Demon Elder.
