Chapter 46 King's Judgment
Upon entering the Demon King's throne room, Ty immediately noticed that the giant crater, which had been a result of his fall, had been slightly patched up.
However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that the area had recently been destroyed.
To Ty's shock, the three men kneeling in front of the Demon King seemed unaware of Ty and Todd's arrival.
"SHH!"
Todd gestured to the kids, making a shushing sound, signaling for them to stay quiet.
"W-What's going on?" Ty inquired with a whisper, his words almost swallowed by the Demon King's thunderous voice that resounded through the hall, "State your crimes!"
The first man on the right side rose to his feet with a sense of confidence, despite the chains wrapped around his arms and a large scar marred his face, hinting at his turbulent past.
"I have committed no crimes. I merely seek retribution for the horrors inflicted upon me and my people," he declared, his voice steady.
"Even in death, I harbor no regrets. I did all that was within my power," he continued, his stance unwavering.
The Demon King's booming command sent a shiver down Ty's spine. His voice echoed ominously throughout the room. "Step forward!" the Demon King bellowed, the intensity of his command reverberating through the hall, causing Ty's bones to tremble slightly due to its sheer force.
"CLINKK"
The air seemed to thicken with tension and as the man took a step forward, the clinking of his chains against the stone floor resonated in the eerie silence that followed the Demon King's command.
Ty observed this with anticipation, his skeletal fingers twitching slightly while Todd, who stood beside him shooed the kids back to their cleaning tasks. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Todd's words, hushed yet clear, floated to his ear, "Have you not seen him do this before?"
"He spends like half the day, if not the entire day, doing this stuff," Todd whispered further, his breath warm against the cool air of the hall.
"No, I wasn't really that long here. Things kind of happened really quickly," Ty responded, his voice carrying a trace of reminiscence.
"BAMMM"
His life was a storm of vengeance and cruelty, yet amidst the shadows, there was a fleeting glimpse of remorse and a desperate yearning for redemption that never seemed to have come to fruition.
As the lights telling their stories dimmed, a menacing red glow took over the usual green.
The air in the hall seemed to have thickened with a sense of impending doom.
With a stern face, the Demon King raised his arm towards the two men. What followed was a scene of sheer terror. Their flesh began to twist and rip apart from their bones under an unseen force.
"KKKK"
"SSS"
The gruesome sound of flesh being torn apart echoed through the stone halls like a chilling tune of fate.
The agonized screams of the two men filled the hall, their cries resonating through the cold air, but it was of no avail.
Blood splattered onto the floor, painting a grim picture of the cost of evil. The terror on their faces followed by each tear of their flesh and convulsing bodies was a harrowing spectacle.
In moments that felt like an eternity, the horrifying act had finally come to a conclusion.
What remained now were two soul orbs which were quivering in the cold air of the throne room. The eerie silence that after witnessing the scene from before was only broken by the soft hum of these orbs.
The Demon King extended his arm, guiding the orbs towards a massive door adorned with grotesque skulls, something that Ty had partially seen during his initial arrival.
As the orbs melded into the door, the hall trembled slightly, a shiver of dark energy coursing through the room. The door seemed to absorb the orbs, its skeletal adornments appearing to grin with a sinister satisfaction.
The blood on the floor seemed to darken, a grim reminder of the harsh reality that had unfolded.
As the orbs melded into the door, a shiver of dark energy coursed through the hall. The door seemed to have become alive after absorbing the orbs as its ominous aura intensified.
The skulls adorning the door also appeared to be grinning wider with a sinister satisfaction.
Ty felt a cold shiver run down his spine, realizing the reality of the Demon King's power and the grim fate of the damned souls. The eerie silence that followed served as a stark reminder of the merciless judgment that they had just witnessed with their eyes. Todd's face however, remained rather nonchalant as he remarked, "You will get used to it."
"It's kind of nice cause they probably deserved it for the actions they did and those who pass are given the choice to stay here or to be born again. From what I've seen so far I wonder why there is such a negative connotation associated with the Demon King," Todd shrugged.
