Chapter six: Emperor
"Lord Lucifer the modified gensis orb has successfully trapped
Queen Sophia"
A small demon spoke haistly as he bowed his head, and prostated in front of a yellow eye held within a throne.
"She is no longer Queen,don't forget that again!"
A shockwave emitted from the eye and the demon's purple blood started flowing out of it's mouth, eyes and ears.
'Now that the plans in motion I wonder what the human emperor will do?'
…
"Sir there's an anomaly near the western port, we need assistance!"
A young man no more than sixteen ran inside a grand palace. A place you would believe existed in hell at least not for humans.
The place had an earth theme to it.
As it was filled with beautiful flower of all kinds, and the walls where turquoise lined with golden patterns that danced playfully along the wall.
"If your looking for the lord he has already left."
A refined man of noble aura spoke softly while explaining the emperor has left.
"He left in a time of crisis!? No he left to solve it didn't he !?"
The young man spoke he as if reassuring himself the emperor wouldn't abandon them.
He looked at the refined man quietly, the man nodded his head like he already knew what he was worried about.
…
"What troublesome subjects, to get caught in such an obvious trap."
A tall man both handsome and young, fierce, yet refined.
Proud and noble. White hair flowing like wind, sapphire eyes shining like diamonds. Skin the color of the earth. The sliver rings on his fingers started glowing like stars in the night sky.
The light gently peeled away the grey area which caused time to stop. Slowly returning the color and time as it once was.
The emperor's white and purple cloak burst into flames that matched as he touched the white orb on the ground. Cletching it in his hand as if getting ready to crush it.
"Wait!"
Ryu spoke first.
"That gensis orb has master Cain's newest disciple, you can't destroy."
The emperor didn't speak, he only looked at Cain with an expession, that said explain.
Cain explained how Sophia had fought Ryu, and how he excepted her as a disciple. Then there meeting when Tenma, which caused this incident.
"Tenma, so it was you who caused this mess."
He spoke calmly, but there was a glare in his eyes that screamed death.
Tenma back away slowly.
"It's just a misunderstanding! I didn't know this would happen.
I was simply following instructions of an old friend of mine!"
The Human emperor stared at him for awhile before speak again.
"We don't have time for this, and I don't know whether there is a tracking spell on this genius orb or not. So instead of going to the sanctuary we'll have to go to the valley of angelic sand, and take this orb with us. Any objections!"
"NONE!"
They all answered in unsion.
"Good, Tenma set course now! We must leave before the demon horde comes."
"Understood! Hop on my back! Hurry we don't have much time!"
They hurried on to Tenma's back in a flash, and Tenma flew away faster than light, yet something in the background was following them.
From a distance it looked like a swarm of gnats, but they knew
better.
It was the demon horde drawn in from the enegry of the activated gensis orb.
Typically when a gensis orb is inactive, it's presence is that of a rock. However when activate it has a huge enegry spike that all demons low through high would be after. It's even more true if it's modified and uses the enegry of a higher being.
'If any one of these demons get there hands on this genius orb it would create a monster equivalent to a demon noble.'
It's my seventh death, I'm starting to adapt a little bit, as I last a little longer…
It's the forty third death, and my body is strong enough to not die within ten mintue.
It's the one thousand and twenty secondth death, it takes a long time to die now. I've reached the point where I can finaly feel my skin dry, as it blisters and cracks.
Ten thousand four hundred and ninety first death, I not sure how long it's been, but I can finally taste my blood.
I've died one hundred thousand times now.
The flames are no longer burning it's more like I've become part of the flames. I could no longer feel heat, or cold, or anything really. If I wanted to move the flames bent to direction I wanted.
"This control, it's almost like I'm the hell flame it self. Does this mean the trial is over?"
As I said this a blue thin box appeared in front of my face.
It said "I don't feel like talking to anymore since you're a boring character, so we'll be communicating use this system window.
Called J.U.D.A.S. congratulations on completing the second trial, the third one will begin shortly.
I read this not really interested in their reasoning why they found me boring. I simply wanted to memorize the feeling of heat, pain, and control. I could feel my body getting stronger throughout the trial; you see despite the many deaths I had the progress I made never stopped it only made me grow stronger after dying.
A red screen popped in front of my face it said "warning the participant can't complete the next trial. Emergency exit has been generated. Guide has been generated, please follow the guide to the emergency exit."
The lifeless voice spoke systematically without any emotion. As
A strange rumble followed by a loud crack opened several spacial rifts.
A figure was covered in black smoke, or at least appeared this way to me. He grabbed picking me up into a princess carry. He had a black skull mask of a demon with ten horns, while also wearing a purple cloak that had hood. The mask was slightly cracked and I could see one emerald eye of his
Hiding behind his black hair.
"The exit's this way."
His deep voice was soothing and had a sense of familiarity to it.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a soul clone of the great Sen Kuro, and your humble guide.
You see I was created as a failsafe in case you took the trial to early."
Though I couldn't see his mouth I had a feeling he was had a smug smile.
"What are you smiling so smugly about?"
"Hoho. You could tell huh. To be honest I told the last version of you that this would happen, but you put to much trust in that empty headed lizard. So as a precaution I was left here by the main body. Oh! We're here, this is the exit.
He stopped in front of a small blue crack and put me down on a floating rock.
"Will I be able to come back and do the trials again?"
"Yes, now stay on that rock and you will safely leave the gensis orb.
I felt my body float with rock for a moment, before appearing on a smooth, hard, black surface.
I realized that I was back in reality, as I saw master Cain, Ryu, and someone else who I hadn't met yet.
"So you've finally came out of the gensis orb, good. I need you guys to set a barrier around the valley."
The human emperor ordered to make a barrier around him and the demon horde when they get inside the valley.
"What about you, what are planning this time?"
Cain asked with a sign.
"You already know, I'm going to show them the strength of humanity's strongest!"
With those words he leapt off Tenma's back and landed deep inside the valley of angelic sands.
"Time to crush some pest."
He smiled eagerly awaiting for his pray to come.
