Chapter 137: 137
But soon the demon frowned as he thought to himself "One of my trump card if I am found is no longer of use now, threatening the gods with the coordinates won’t be something stupid, i won’t be surprised by now if they have already figure out how useless the threat became after their awakening"
Putting both his hands behind his back, The demon walked away from the window "I wonder what rule the gods of this world have gotten?" From the demon memory of Murmur, he know that after an origin god first long sleep, they are imposed a rule upon them during their awakening, for demons that spend most of their lifetime invading worlds depending on the rule it will play out as an advantage for them
"Regardless of the rule, I will have to leave this kingdom immediately before the god of this kingdom establishes contact and informs the demigod of my presence. Being surrounded deep in the enemy line isn’t a good look for me now" Thinking that the demon moved as he headed back to the teachers living dorm, specifically his room. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Once the demon walked into the room, he walked purposely towards his shelf that held a lot of books, sliding his hand through the rows of books. His hands stopped at one green large book which he pulled a bit but the book never left the shelf instead it created a creaking sound.
Right after the creaking sound, the center of the room began opening up. Soon a huge circular hole appeared in the center of the room, looking down into the hole was a sight of stairs going deeping into the ground which the demon had no hesitation as he walked down the stairs.
Soon a huge space underground presented itself, the whole place had an eerie scary vibe to it and occasionally the sound of pains and the awful smell of blood wafting around the underground.
The demon not minding the smell and eerie vibe raised his hand as if he was embracing the air around the underground. The demon found the air up in the surface repulsive, it was too clean and fruity for his liking, the atmospheric condition of this underground is what he craves and deeply wants to stay in all the time but he has a facade to keep up.
The dark side underground space the deeper he went into it, and with light appearing cones a terrifying sight where bodies of apelings can be seen dead torn open like they have been caught in the hands of a beast.
More disturbing was the sight of apeling kids can be seen among the piles. Soon the demon got to the center of the underground where an altar was built, the altar can be seen surrounded by a blood pool and at the center of the altar was a dark open book surrounded by light floating in thin air.
The demon walked to the book tracing his arm around it, "Which I could grow you for much longer but I don’t have the time, one a new location is secured we can continue your growth"
Almost like the book, understood what was being said it shook before shutting them together and flew to the demon’s hand.
All of a sudden a growling sound can be heard as the demon found himself surrounded, not surprised by that the demon turned to look at his work.
Surrounding the demon were apelings who survived his experiment on them leading them to now look a lot different, most of all they were able to maintain consciousness so he had them guard his treasure whenever he wasn’t around.
One of the experimented demons walked out from the darkness, standing at the height of 6 feet with two horns growing out of its head and the same time a hissing sound can be heard from behind the Apeling where a tail turned out to be a snake.
This apeling was one of the demon first disciples who believed he will be the one to lead the common apeling so that they can someday stand against the cursed clan.
Being a teacher in the academy enabled the demon to gain a lot of followers and easily acquire text subjects.
"Your majesty Sund, the treasure hasn’t been fully grown yet, why take it out prematurely?" The apeling asked the demon as it took a knee to show its respect.
A cunning light flashed the demon eyes and he walked forward tapping the demon shoulders "an urgent situation can up and the book’s power is needed for the situation which is why I am taking it with me"
The apeling heard him raise his head to meet the demon’s now glowing red eyes "Is there any way we can help your highness?"
The demon shook his head "No, I still need you and your siblings to protect this place and await my return"
The demon said as it looked around only to be met by with multiple glowing beast like eyes "May the might if the great Murmur be with you"
Sund heard that nodded, as he began walking out from the underground but almost like he forgot something, he stopped and looked at the ceiling of the underground where 6 cages can be seen hanging from the sky.
Inside the cage were apelings from the cursed clan brimming with power but for some reason they are comatose and could hardly move; only the sound of pain that they occasionally let out shows that they are alive.
The book Sund was holding opened up as he raised his hand towards the cages, a red magic circle bloomed in his hand as the apelings in their cage began rolling around in pain soon they floated up in the cage.
A sound of spell came from the mouth of Sund as the magic circle became brighter, the sound of a rapidly beating heart can be heard across the underground specifically from the cages.
With the naked eyes, the apelings in the began drying up soon they all stopped moving. The magic circle was cut off as the floating apelings fell back down in their cages.
Sund made a gesture like he was calling for something when all of a sudden the dead body of the apeling began shaking soon with a sound of clothes tearing apart, the chest of the apelings bust open as a huge beating heart floated out from their corpse.
The beating heart moved out from the cage, floating over to the demon when all of a sudden, the demon opened its no wide open swallowing up the hearts.
With that the demon went, the tails no longer looking back. The circle opened up and closed right after the demon walked out and left his room.
Meanwhile back in the empty room, the air distorted a bit and standing there was now the fully grown scout Tula who had an ice cold look in her eyes watching the door the demon left from.
Looking back at where the circular hole was and the sight playing out underground, Tula sighed. She didn’t know how to feel about her, not even feeling any ounce of anger seeing the bodies of her clansmen and apelings.
Touching the helm in her head, Tula sighed as this was the price of using this artifact to its full potential, putting a hand to her ear a small green magic circle bloomed at the back of her hand, "Target is making a new move" she said before being surrounded before the air around her distorted again as she disappeared.
Ikem meanwhile was in his palace, calming his rapidly flowing blood that was about to jump out from his skin once they felt his father awakening. Ikem was taken by the spectacle caused by the god’s awakening and their sudden disappearance but when a rune appeared out of nowhere in his hands, he forgot the matter about the gods right now he had a fish to catch.
Putting the hand rune appeared on to his ear, he heard a cold female voice "Target is making a new move"
"Follow closely behind and make sure you don’t lose him, I will be on my way" Ikem responded back as he stood up.
"Zephyr" Ikem whispered to the thin air and then started pacing around when all of a sudden he felt the wind inside the palace change.
Turning back he was met with the sight of his son zephyr dressed in his royal robes "There has been a change on the target of observation, I believe it has something to do with father awakening"
Zephyr was about to answer back when the rune in Ikem’s hand glowed once again this time the female voice spoke up more urgently " Target is quickly making their way out of the kingdom territory"
Ikem and Zephyr looked at each other before Ikem spoke up "Take your people and head for his room, be discreet and handle the dead apelings you find well also grab with you everything you can find"
