Chapter 103: The Demon Kingdom (1/2)
Supernatural territory, the Demon Kingdom.
The Demon Kingdom territory is not bordering with the human's territory, they're deep inside the Supernatural territory.
There are seven Supernatural Kingdom territories that border with the human territory, the Vampire Kingdom, Werewolf Kingdom, Undead Tomb, Shapeshifter Temple, Fairy Forest, Dargonman Cave, and the Siren Kingdom.
Although their territory borders with the humans, they are wide apart.
For example, the Werewolf and the Dragonman.
They are tens of thousands of kilometers apart from each other, this makes them basically never meet except during the decennial GodKing Summit.
The Demon Kingdom territory neighbors with the Vampire, and the Undead.
Although they are neighboring each other, they are still hundreds of kilometers apart.
The Demon Kingdom is deep inside the Supernatural territory, their territory is a brazen land with no sign of life or water.
Just a barren land as far as the eyes can see.
Their Kingdom is located underground with only one way in and one way out.
The entrance into the Demon Kingdom is a huge demon mouth that is made of stone, there are two demon guards on the entrance.
They are big-humanoid demons with fiery bodies, they are bright red and have hulking bodies. Their bodies are dripped with lava that also filled their insides, huge spiky maces are on their hands.
If Rex was here, he will instantly flee after feeling the disparity between their powers.
While the demon guards are guarding the entrance, they saw a carriage approaching them from afar.
They walk forward with their fiery maces, they're unsure of what the carriage is.
Upon closer inspection, the carriage has a bloody crest on it with two big mutated beasts that look like grey crawling bats pulling it.
The beasts are galloping roughly, their feet are a blur because of how fast they're going.
The sound of the mutated beast's heavy steps was heard the closer it gets, the carriage stopped in front of the two demon guards.
A man wearing a butler outfit gets down from the carriage and opens the door politely before a pale man came out of it.
The pale man emits a horrifying bloody aura, he's clad in black gear, black robe covers his side necks as it flutters with the wind, there is a red skeleton-shaped vial strap on his body, with a black sword on his side that is the source of the pale man's bloody aura.
Without even asking, the demon guards know who the pale man is.
”King Solomon, why have you come here?”, one of the demon guards asks.
Solomon glances at the two demon guards with his blazing red eyes, there are black dots that are swirling inside them.
Without even answering, his eyes flash with red energy.
The demon guards felt a huge pressure pressing on them as they fall to their knees heavily, the red energy hovers around them violently.
BAM!
The ground cracked, the demon guards can't move their bodies.
For Solomon to make two terrifying demon guards that literally guard the Demon Kingdom entrance fall to their knees speak of his power.
”Who are you two to be higher than me”, he said disdainfully.
The two of the demon guards are way taller than Solomon and he seems to not like them looking down on him.
Before the demon guards can say anything, ”Bring me to King Saruth”
Hearing this, the demon guards nodded their heads before the pressure from Solomon disappear.
They then guide Solomon and the other vampire inside of the Demon Kingdom.
Upon entering the Demon Kingdom, Solomon was greeted with bright red lava that lit the place in red.
There are many lesser demons crawling inside of it,
After they notice the demon guards guiding two vampires, they started to make way for them.
They are usually not this organized to even make way for people, but the aura from Solomon makes them felt frightened as they instinctively make way.
A big castle lies in the center of the place, it is big with a demonic pig symbol on top of it.
Looking at this, Solomon frowns.
”Why do I feel like this place has changed?”, Solomon asks, this is not his first time going to the Demon Kingdom and he felt that it has changed.
One of the demon guards answered, ”It is King Saruth command, he changed the Kingdom layout”
Hearing this, Solomon chuckles, ”Let me guess, he was bored?”
The demon guards can only lower their heads, they didn't deny what Solomon said which means it is true.
While they're approaching the castle, Solomon got curious, ”What did he change?”
”The Demon Castle starting from now will be a survival of the strongest, as you know we demons get stronger the more we get demonic energy. The Demon Kingdom is now divided into 8 floors, the higher the floor, the closer they are to the Demonic Eye”, the demon guard explains.
Solomon nodded his head and said, ”So these 8 floors can be taken by each Archdemon?”
The demon guards nodded their head, ”There are seven Archdemons including King Saruth in the Demon Kingdom, and they all have their own people. An Archdemon can fight each other to occupy a higher floor”
Hearing this, Solomon glance at the symbol on top of the castle, 'The first floor is occupied by the Archdemon Beeltopheles'
Solomon knows instantly when he saw the symbol, he knows all of these archdemons because he already met with each one of them.
They skip past the castle and went behind it where there was a crimson portal.
There is an even stronger demon guarding the crimson portal, there are two black scaled womanly demons with big crescent horns and a long tail behind them.
Solomon approach them and said, ”Bring me to King Saruth”, he said calmly.
The womanly demons glance at Solomon, they made weird aggressive sounds before they let Solomon in.
Solomon does this six times as he went portal after portal.
He saw each of the floors with his own naked eyes and was mesmerized by it, the demons here are prospering because they're not near the human borders.
