Chapter 23-WRATH OF THE PRINCE

On their way to the Pride Kingdom, Zucifer kept contacting his third form so he can get information about the Ten Commandments. After sometime he is able to enter his consciousness and he meets with True Demon.

True Demon (he speaks in a serious voice): "I'd like to congratulate you on rapidly expanding your shadow army."

Zucifer: "Thanks, but that's not what I'm here for. I need you to tell me something."

True Demon: "Which is?"

Zucifer: "You know what it is, back when we we're at the castle you said something about Nefarious. That he along with Apollyon are the members of the commandments. Are we talking about the same Nefarious?"

True Demon: "Nefarious of the Lust ring, yes we are."

Zucifer: "How is that even possible? You mean to tell me hes a spy?"

True Demon: "He could be, now in the battle why didn't you use my form?"

Zucifer: "You know why, if I used your form I would end up turning into a more evil demon. You would be able to consume my heart and stay in this small state."

True Demon: "If you won't use it in tough times I'll be taking over."

Zucifer slowly opens his eyes under the mask and they continue to fly towards the castle. After what feels like an hour of flying, the Kingdom of Pride comes into view, Zucifer, Alexander and Kavi fly over the Kingdom and the flow down and land on the centre of the Kingdom. Zucifer looks around, noticing the Elmore elves living in peace with the people of the Pride Kingdom. Zucifer walks in the castle, just as he is about to open the door, he hears a screaming sound coming closer and closer with full speed.

Zucifer stands aside from the door, then a massive crash breaks the doors and Chris is sent flying out of the castle. Zucifer looks at him with a confused expression beneath his mask and looks at who threw Chris outside the castle. Hero walks out of the castle cracking his arms.

Hero: "Come on brother, you can do better than that right?"

Chris (he jumps up and looks at Hero with an angry expression face.): "Now you're starting to annoy me."

Hero: "What are you going to do about it?"

Chris (his grin widens and blue thunder sparks appear around his body.): "I'll show you, get ready, brother."

Without warning, Chris splits the air with his immense speed, turning his body into thunder sparks and travels at thunder speed towards Hero. Hero tries to do the same, but his reaction is slow, making Chris's body appear infront of him, with a battle psycho grin in his lips. Just as he is about to slash Hero, a sword cuts through the middle both of them and the shockwave sends both of them flying back with immense force. They both crash on walls. They groan to look at who is welding that sword.

To their suprise, they see Vesper holding the sword, his long white liquid hair ghostly flowing in the air. Zucifer looks at them with his arms crossed together.

Zucifer: "What the heck do you two think you are doing? This ain't a battle field."

Chris (he looks at Zucifer surprised.): "Big bro?"

Zucifer: "And you." (He appears infront of Chris and hits his heard.) "YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET WHEN YOU GO INTO FULL PSYCHO BATTLE MODE!!! YOU WANNA DESTROY MY KINGDOM!!!"

Chris: "Yeah, sorry big bro. Anyway where have you been? And whose the guy with ancient clothes and a monkey tail?"

Zucifer: "I've been busy and he's the reason I want everyone to assemble, now why are you two fighting?"

Chris: "THAT GUY KEPT ON SAYING I'M WEAKER THAN HIM, AND THAT I AM HIS BROTHER!!!"

Zucifer: "Well about being strong I don't know about that, but you have the same blood like Mav said. Now go inside and call the others, and the Elmore King, you are going with him."

Hero: "Why should I?"

Alexander (he speaks in a low commanding voice.): "Because that's an order, weather you like it or not Hero."

Hero hesitates then he follows Chris and they bicker on their way.

Zucifer (he looks at them as they walk.): "They really are twins, huh?"

Alexander: "There's no question about it."

Zucifer: "Now let's go and know the deal of Kavi."

Zucifer and the others walk inside the castle and after a few minutes, Chris walks in the throne room with the Elmore elves king and queen, the Divine Sinners, the young archangels. Zucifer looks at them with his head leaning to his right hand. Everyone chatting about what Zucifer wants. After a moment, Zucifer's aura radiates a menacing order to keep quiet and everyone became quiet.

Zucifer: "Listen up everyone, I've killed the all of the elf kings Boreas, Kazan, Terra and Zephyr and I've absorbed both Boreas and Kazan's soldiers and made even the all of the king my shadow armies so the Elmore elves are save."

King Baluas: "King Zucifer, does that mean my people will be going back to the Kingdom?"

Maveth (he grins as he leans back on his seat.): "No, your people will reside her, either permanent or temporary. Considering that your Kingdom got destroyed in the battle."

Zucifer: "King Baluas, you and your people have already been comfortable living here, and since your daughter left with my brother that will be easy for them to only return here."

Hesperus: "Daughter? What do you mean Z?"

Zucifer: "I mean, Sura is the daughter of King Baluas and Queen Rosacea, but she's adopted."

Maveth: "How do you know?"

Zucifer: "Think back, wasn't it odd that Sura, wouldn't just risk her life for her people, but she showed concern for the King and Queen, so I scanned her blood and it turns out she's not related to them. So I asked her and she told me she's adopted, and her name I knew I saw it somewhere."

Hesperus: "Now I get it."

Zucifer (his voice turns serious.): "Now, where's Nefarious?"

Hagar: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen him since Azubah left."

Iblis: "What's wrong?"

Zucifer (his voice trembles in anger as he speaks.): "He's a traitor. A member of the Ten Commandments."

Legion: "Wait, the Ten Commandments?"

Abaddon (he yarns as he lays on the throne table and looks at Legion.): "You know something, so spill it."

Legion: "I heard stories that the ten commandments are the most powerful beings who rebelled not just against Heaven, but Hell too. They were a threat to Lord Lucifer and God. They are the most powerful beings only second to King Lucifer, but they got sealed up."

Renegade: "That's not good."

Rauwolf: "So Nefarious is a member of them?"

Wilder: "Now it makes sense."

Maveth: "What do you mean?"

Wilder: "I've seen him talking to himself from time to time, but I wasn't sure so I ignored it."

Zucifer: "Then I know it's time we went to war with them, I'll kill both Nefarious and the leader."

Maveth: "I placed my shadow on Azubah's shadow and I heard him battling the leader of them. And it turns out the leader is Apollyon, and father knows about them."

Hesperus: "Is Az okay?"

Maveth: "Yeah he's alive, they went to Hell's void, since it's been a while I think their powers is very high."

Zucifer: "This is gonna be tough. Alright everyone the meeting is over."

Everyone exited the room as the Divine Sinners, young archangels and Hesperus, Maveth and the others stayed behind.

Zucifer: "Listen up, all of you have to train and rest, I have about 7.3 billion shadow soldiers, so I'm going to send some of them to kill Terra and Zephyr's soldiers and bring them as shadows."

Chris: "What about the civilians?"

Zucifer: "They'll be brought here to serve me."

Maveth: "Okay, works for me."

Zucifer: "And you two, Hesperus and Maveth. Azubah is training in Hell's void, by now he should be able to use his beast mark along with his demon weapon, so I expect you two to do the same."

Maveth: "Yeah, on it."

Chris: "Ohhh, big bro whose that guy with a tail?"

Zucifer: "All I know that his name is Kavi and he knows everything about the ten commandments than us."

Kavi: "Nice to meet you all, I hope we can all work together."

Zucifer: "Now you guys go train."

Hesperus: "And I was looking forward to spending time with Princess Krystis."

Maveth: "Wait you are in love with her aren't you?"

Hesperus: "Don't be jealous."

Maveth, Hesperus and the Divine Sinners walk out of the room.

Alexander (he looks at his team.): "All of you, you'll do the same and train, I'll join you in a moment."

Alexander's unit walk out of the room, leaving Alexander, Zucifer and Kavi alone.

Alexander (he crosses his arms together and looks at Kavi.): "So you gonna tell us what's your motivation here?"

Kavi (he smiles and raises his arms.): "Ohhh, my motivation is to serve Zucifer, his power surpasses mine. I follow only strong beings."

Zucifer: "I don't care what you say, just go and put on some proper clothes, ask Maveth."

Kavi nods and walks to the door and goes out. Alexander stands near Zucifer.

Alexander (in a serious voice.): "Don't you think something is off with him? His aura isn't normal for humans, and that monkey tail, I don't trust him."

Zucifer (he leans to his right hand and sighs.): "I don't trust you either, but I understand what you mean, back at Kazan's Kingdom I observed his fights and his technique wasn't familiar. I should ask him to teach me."

Alexander: "Well we can agree on that, I'm going to train."

Alexander walks out of the room to the training room, leaving silence in the throne room with Zucifer.

Zucifer (he sighs.): "Now come forth and rise."

Zucifer's shadow stretches and fills the room, and in that shadow raises the elves he killed, Zero, Kazas, Terror and Zepherus, their capes flowing ghostly in the air as they bow down.

Zucifer: "Listen up, Zero will lead his unit to accompany Terror to his Kingdom, and Kazas will lead his unit to Zepherus's Kingdom. Kill all the soldiers and leave the civilians alive and bring them here, now dispatch."

The elves turn into smoke and disappear.

Zucifer: "Now rise, Vesper, Riot, Storm, Chaos, Cross, The Seven Void Generals, Erebus, Phobetor, Aether, Kratos, Astraea, Nemesis and Thanatos."

Vesper appears infront bowing and Riot, Storm, Chaos and the Seven Void Generals, Erebus, Phobetor, Aether, Kratos, Astraea, Nemesis and Thanatos appear behind him. Their body releasing Black liquid smoke that ghostly flows.

Zucifer: "I'm thinking of naming your units, you'll all be listening to Vesper's orders, Riot's unit will be known as the Riot unit, Storm's will be the Storm unit, and Chaos's unit will be known as Chaos unit. All combined will be the Destruction Force. I want all of you to dispatch. Riot unit will take 2 billion soldiers, Storm unit 2 billion unit and Chaos unit 2 billion soldiers, 12 million per realm, dimension and universe."

The units disappear like ghosts and Zucifer looks at the others.

Zucifer: "The Seven Void Generals, Erebus, Phobetor, Aether, Kratos, Astraea, Nemesis and Thanatos will have 1.3 billion, which means 185 million per general, to search for her. That leaves you Vesper, you'll be incharge of the 1.1 billion soldiers who will be coming."

All of Zucifer's shadow soldiers disappear, leaving Zucifer with Vesper alone. Zucifer get's up from his throne and walks towards the exit with Vesper behind him. As they are walking in the hallway, Kavi comes out of a room wearing a gold and black armor with leopard skin skirt and sky walking boots. Zucifer looks at him beneath his mask.

Zucifer: "You look like you've been wearing that armor before."

Kavi: "It suits my style more."

Zucifer: "Hmm, do what you do."

Kavi: "By the way, whose that shadow soldier of yours?"

Zucifer (he looks at Vesper with a glare under his mask.): "Ohh him? He's Vesper, a former Heaven archangel known as Metatron."

Kavi: "Metatron huh?"

Zucifer nods and walks to the training room, and Kavi looks at him with a smirk on his lips.

Kavi (he speaks in a low voice.): "So you killed him before me huh? Well that's why I see you and I are the same, just a little bit more and I'll get my full body back. Amina my dear, you really know how to play your role."

With those words, Kavi walks after Zucifer to the training room with a smile on his face as his plans come into motion.
