In the sky two people were standing. Devine energy were out of both of them.
"Aren't you late." Queen said
"What are you doing hair." One of the person standing in the sky said.
" That, it's a long story. " Queen said innocently.
Everyone standing in the battlefield were now able to clearly see them both of them were one of the 12 guardians. One of them was Saintess of Holy Kingdom and other one was King of Argal.
Queen teleported from her place and stood beside both of them.
"So, why are you both here? " Queen asked.
" Really, you never answered my question." King said.
" We are here to find one of the priestess from temple. Her last signal came from this cave. So, we came to find her." Saintess said, intrupting both of them.
King shook his head seeing his wife's adventures. "You are giving me a long explanation after this." King said.
" Really,"Queen said making puppy face. She teleported next to him and went near his ear " You need this explanation on papers or on bed." Hearing this King's face turned red.
" You both can do this after dealing with this mess." Sophie said.
Sophie used her divine sense to find the priestess.
"I found her." Sophie said, pointing towards the direction of location where priestess was bound.
"Gloria you go with Sophie, I will take care of this mess." King said.
" What but, I wanted to fight them." Gloria said.
"Not now Gloria." King disapeared from his place appearing in front of demon Gods. Suddenly he felt a large amount of energy.
' What are they, they are even stronger then ancestral demons. What was she doing fighting them.' King thought.
" So it was you who destroyed the formation. " One of the demon God said.
After this five of the demon God's rushed towards the King. King took out his sword and concentrated his Aura on it. He started his battle with the five Demon Gods.
On other side Queen and Saintess were rushing towards the center of ritual formation. However four demon God's rush to stop them. Queen stopped and turned she threw her Spear towards one of them and smashed the second ones head with her knee. She flew toward the other enemy and punched him with a high speed punch. The demon God was smashed into a near mountain. She raised her hand and summoned thousands of energy Spear from the sky and shot it towards the demon army.
After sometime Saintess and Gloria both reached to the center of ritual array. Saintess saw the priestess bound in chains. Gloria rushed towards the Demon God, she grabbed his face and smashed it in the ground. His head got buried in the ground. But, it was to late the priestess' body started to disintegrate a large pillar of light suddenly rose from and stroked towards the sky.
"What the hell is happening now." Gloria exclaimed.
"The ritual is complete." Saintess said " This world is going to get sealed."
"But, how we already broke the formation."Gloria said with questioning face.
" Hahahaha, you humans think you are to smart but you know to little in this world. The formation was just an illusion the main sacrifice was the priestess but if we wouldn't have done this much you would have put your all force in stopping the sacrifice. In that situation over may have failed. Now no divine light will reach to this world and no Devine energy will reach this world. This formation was created after sacrifices of thousands of demons in the war and the blood you humans and your guardians have spilled in these thousand year wars. Now my body and body of other demon God's will become pillars for this sacrifice and our will cover this world into darkness and when the true Lord comes there will be no god to protect you." Demon God said and his body started to disintegrate.
So was the body of other demon god. King saw the body of last demon God of the five was getting disintegrated. And remaining tits and bits of other four were also disappearing.
King vanished from his place and appeared besides the Gloria.
"What's happening. " He asked.
Queen used telepathy to tell everything what happened to King.
" So, what should we do." King said.
Queen looked towards glowing pillar of light which formed at the place of sacrifice and said "Ritual is still isn't complete complete they are still taking the form. If a strong spiritual strength is used we can stop it from happening."
" No, it won't work this formation can't be stopped even God's can't stop it this is part of Dharma and it is there sacrifice and human's failure to protect the priestess with Devine eyes that led to it. It is the cost of wars and blood spilled which we need to pay." Saintess said.
" But, weren't they who first attacked us." Gloria said.
" No, it's war, war led to this we were to blind to not think of the consequences we spilled so much blood of demons and our own kin for so long. There were even Kings who created much more atrocities before our empire and demons use those wrong doings to create this. Also talking about that all led to this won't work for now. We need to find a way to deal with this." King said.
" Now there's only one way we need to find a strong spiritual strength to create a weakness in it. But, that can also be broken only if life energy in this world is near extinction. But, it's so concentrated that the spiritual energy needs to be pure and strong enough to do it." Saintess said.
" Ok, let's try give it a try. " King did some stretching and get ready to sacrifice himself.
" She said pure." Gloria teased.
" Heart of the King is always pure." King replied.
"I know that my King." Gloria came in front of King looked into his eyes and put her both arm around his shoulder "But, you are the central pillar of empire and 12 Guardians if you sacrificed your life then all the Guardians power will become unstable and kingdom will fall into disarray. King is central pillar of Kingdom which holds it together. That is why I will go."
These words hit the King like a jolt of lightning. King knew that this situation is going to come when he listened Saintess' plan.
" You can also take care of Kingdom in my absence you to are a good ruler." King said.
"You know it won't do even if I am stronger than you Kingdom needs much more than strength. Also you became the Hope of everyone in the very starting I to knew that people will not accept anyone else as there ruler. Everytime I looked at you when you were standing in front of everyone there was something other than strength which caused people together around. Even though you weren't the best but you were still a perfect ruler. And when the true lord of these demons will awaken no one knows how strong he will be at that time people won't need someone strong but someone who can defeat the strong. Someone who can push his limit and become stronger in face of danger. Also, I red somewhere that True Lord of demon has been alive since Satya Yug by residing in people heart. I don't know anyone who's will and heart is stronger than you."Gloria's words shook the King because he knew that what his wife is trying to do came true he would loose her.
" We can find another way isn't that right I can use my emperors authority to order space and time to open up. Or we can prey, yeah we can prey to our Ishta dev he can tell a way." King was too shocked and he wasn't able to think of a single solution to come out of this situation. He knew that if didn't think of away he would loose his wife.
Sophie saw the King shaken from the situation.
Gloria put her hand on King's forehead and said " Calm down husband you are making this difficult. Let me at least do this much for the world. Also, it's not like I am going anywhere. I will always remain hear." Gloria put her hand on King's chest." Also please use your sword to kill me you know, because I think it will be least painful."
King's eyes were already filled with tears this whole situation was like a dream for him " Ha, there won't be any need of sacrifice I will destroy this devine sealing barrier with my strength." He said with his eyes filled with tears. He raised his feet to charge towards the energy pillar which was formed but Gloria grabbed the King's hand from behind and said " You need to preserve your energy for later. You won't be able to replenish it as easily as you used to. Also let me do this at least I will be able to do this much for everyone. Don't take this chance from me and don't make it difficult for me." Gloria's eyes were filled with tears.
Gloria came in front of King and kissed him. Both of their eyes were wet.
"Mircieful river." These words came out of King's mouth and his sword pierced threw the Queen's gut. Queen's transformed into a blue energy and she flew towards the energy pillar and got disspeared in it. The energy pillar disappeared. King stood there looking towards the pillar till it got disappeared. His mind was totally messed up he knew that his wife was gone but, he didn't wanted to believe that. He thought soon his wife will come back from the pillar or he will wake up from this dream.
After some time King looked up and closed his eyes. After thinking something he opened his eyes. He headed a voice of cry from behind. He looked towards the direction from which the voice came. He saw the Saintess on the ground pressing her ears from her hand.
"I.. I can't hear them, I can't hear them any more. I only hear the cries of the demons." Saintess cried. Saintess who was able to hear the voices of the devine was now only able to hearing the cries of demons.
King came close to her and put his hands on her ears. After few moment voices she was hearing calmed down. King took out a stone from his pocket and said " This is a gift from an old friend it will help you with your devine concentration and help you heal and refill the devine energy. Most of the guardians do not use devine energy. And one uses them have not been using it recently. So it will be useful for you." King added "We can't sit around and weep there is a war coming. And we need to be prepared."
Ming got up and start to walk towards the exit. Saintess came out of the collapsed structure and saw a woman standing in front of the King. There were no one else in that realm. Gandharva army disapeared with death of the queen and sealing of the devine gates. All people who were captured already were rescued by the army.
********************
"Agatha and King talked about something and we all came out of that realm. After coming out King destroyed that realm from existence. and erased the memory of people of what happened. Accept Agatha." Saintess finished her story after saying this.
Darius was standing near a pillar hearing all this he already had taken support on the pillar. He was not able to understand what he should say about this whole incident. And what should he say to his friend.
