Kaizel Emel Asteria(12)

Heart of the Demon . That is the answer he recieved.

A totally unexpected answer .

Angels and demons were nothing but legends in the history of Frega. But now someone told him they exist .

This Heart of demon wasn't just a name. It is th eheart of a young demon .

Hundreds years ago , King of Asteria learnt by coincidence that heart of a demon is an excellent medium and offering to angels.

Demons , they were supreme existences that are born with ability to bend darkness to thier will. Angels were the complete opposite. They were the rulers of light , in light.

The wars with angels and demons never end.

The heart that the King finally obtained after sacrificing countless resources was that of a young demon .

That result to the hatred of demon clan.

A mistake of a man made guilty on the head of whole humanity.

Demons couldn't easily stray towards the world of humans , but they could make thier lives hell if they wish to be bent on it .

Instead of feeling guilty about the mistake he made, The king Asteria decided to hide the heart of the demon .

He didn't know . Even though he was greedy , he unknowingly sealed on the way the demons could open a gate to this world . Leading to resulting consequences.

The rumor that this is the treasure was spread by demons to let greedy people unseal the heart once again .

They could resurrect the fallen young demon with enough sacrifices as well as enter the human world too .

Accomplishing multiple tasks at the same time.

Azure as the neighbouring kingdom also bore the burnt of Asteria's mistake.

No doubt Azure would hate Asteria .

And also to keep this family in check so no one would ever make such mistake again.

Kai himself became an anomaly in this generation .

.......

Processing the information , Kai stood quietly for a long time.

" Is there a way to destry it , Your Majesty ",he asked after some hesitation.

"pfft..."Leon chuckled.

"Would we still wait till this day Asteria boy , It could only be returned to demon clan , Hoping they wouldn't go back to the deal they make" .

" I can destroy it " , he said .

Leon was astonished this time.He then laughed out loud .

" You should not joke such , Asteria boy . "

' System ! Tell me , can i destroy it '

[ Yes host . But a price must be paid . ]

' Tell me , Except my life , What is the price ?'

[ Emotions . All emotions. Host would never feel joy , love ,kinship , freinship , such feelings ever again ]

....

Kai didn't know the consequences. Or he knew , But he didn't want to think about it .

' Do it' ,he thought lightly .

Leon stood there quietly . He felt a chill run down his spine.

The scarlet gem at the altar suddenly shattered.

But he didn't have time to focus on it .

The young man in front of him changed.

Those cold Red eyes that could see through you.Those eyes that looked at you like looking at an object .

........

The fate that was changed slowly returrned to its track .

it's just , the destiny of people silently deviated and became something unrecognisable.

.....

Kai didn't know , he became the devil he feared in his dream . He couldn't care now. If before, he might have bothered . But he could feel nothing . He could , but the violent tyranny in his heart at the slightest dissatisafaction .

He became the God of his people. He became the nightmare of his enemies.

.....

Azel laughed out loud like never before. He felt the breath. The breath of the same kind. But funny enough. It came from a human . The intersting human boy who stuck holed up in his shell for too long .

....

The system stayed silent all the time. It couldn't care much about anything other than it's goal , which he achieved .

.....

" If....If I live again...let me ....gasp ....let me be thier God.....let me protect them.....I will....Never let my people suffer....ever agian..." Kai gasped in his last breath . The demon who took over his body , he ended everything using his body. Destroying the land , the people , everything he held dear.

He could only hope ,this being could truly fulfil the promise it made.

.....

[ Final mission completed. The system will unbind in 10 seconds. ]

' You are leaving' Kai said indifferently but in positive tone.

[ Yes host. You achieved your wealth. This time , cherish it .]

Kai didn't understand but he seems to understand too.

[ Unbinding successful. Goodbye Host] .

.......

The world went on . But the cooperation between new Duke of Asteria a the emperor of Azure made people shudder.

One cunning , one cruel .

Such pair when ruled together were bound to unify the world.

In 7 years , Kanem was under the rule of Azure already.

The western continent was completely unified in 25 years.

But nothing changed for people. It changed indeed.

The lives of people became better.

There was no poverty remaining in 25 years.

Kaizel Emel Asteria , The Duke Of Asteria , was named the Gaurdian of Azure .

The new and unified Azure.

......

Kai was standing at the balcony of palace at mountain top.

Overlooking the beautiful sceneries, the splashing waves, he could feel nothing .

He should hate it . But he couldn't . His heart told him .

Cherish it. In the next life, you may never be able to .
