After the loud yell that came from the Shard, the Blood Emperor wasted no time and outstretched his hand towards the demon emperor at a speed that surpassed the imagination of the Monster Emperor and for the first time he was unable to react to the sudden move of the Blood Emperor .
The hand that was outstretched was stopped by some silver barrier that was covering the skin of the demon emperor in a tight embrace like a second skin, that barrier didn't just stopped the hand to reach the demon emperor completely, but some were able to notice that the hand of the Blood Emperor was actually bleeding .
Meaning that at some point that barrier, whatever it was made from, was actually able to injure the Blood Emperor and even forcing his sudden attack to be futile, a second later the Blood Emperor of the Bloodlord race was forced to retreat and refrain from continuing to attack due to the well timed appearance of the Monster Emperor to prevent him .
And without another second lost and even though the demon emperor seem to fare well against the Blood Emperor on his own, the Monster Emperor finally made his move and stood up in front of the demon emperor and shielded him with his body .
The Blood Emperor seething with anger asked the Monster Emperor about what was the meaning of his actions, the Monster Emperor said that he was doing it on a whim and with the same whim he will continue to do as he want, protecting the demon emperor .
The Bloodlords Emperor then asked what about their retribution, the Monster Emperor then laughed a bit and was about to ridicule the Blood Emperor, when all of a sudden the demon emperor stepped forward from behind the Monster Emperor and said that he did that in an act of self-defense and that he was willing to use Mana Stones to reconcile with the Bloodlords .
His actions made the Monster Emperor looked to be quite dissatisfied, but all the onlookers agreed that it was indeed a good call on the demon emperor part, but the arrogant Bloodlords answer to that was sneering and directly refused to indulge in such things as peace talks .
Instead they once again demanded that the demon emperor was to be handed to them and they will be the ones to decide his fate, if not then as per their words at that time, they will completely wipe out the entire demon race and uproot their roots in this land or any other lands, the threat those Bloodlords made at that time shocked everyone present at that time, after all the consequences of things gotten even more worse here was the extermination of an entire race .
The Bloodlords threat had a huge impact on the mind of the weak-willed demons, it made them desperate, but the more stable ones was thinking of something completely different, they were calculating the amount of gain and loss between two choices, whether to hand him in to the Bloodlords or not, in the end the demons were more inclined to hand him in .
One demon was the first to suggest that they should do hand him in, then it took less than 10 minutes to turn the suggestion into a decision agreed on by a huge number of demons, all aiming to hand the demon emperor over, but that was a grave mistake on their part, if the demon emperor had a little bit of heart left inside of him, then the actions before him had completely made him loathing even his own kind .
The moment that the decision was made, the Blood Emperor flashed a wide grin as if to make fun of the demon emperor, implying that even his own people didn't want to stand up in front of the Bloodlords for him and he even told the demon emperor to began wash his neck as he will be executed back in the Bloodlords domain and get being made an example of, acting as a warning for those who no longer put the Bloodlords race in their eyes, this was how the Bloodlords dealt with those who insulted them .
After this, all the the people present began to look at the demon emperor wondering about how will he react to this, normally panic will be the normal reaction to this turn of events, crying and begging for forgiveness wasn't uncommon thing to do for the sake of preserving your life, but what stunned all the onlookers was that the expression of the Demon Emperor was none of the above, not even similar to the one suggested, no a complete contrast to all and everyone expectations, the Demon Emperor reaction after getting in such a difficult and tight situation was to actually laugh .
The Demon Emperor chuckled at everything currently going on, he was chuckling on the demons asking him to give himself up to the Bloodlords for their race sake, he was laughing at how the Bloodlords were currently smugly and ambiguously looking at him as if they already won, he chuckled at almost all parties of conflict suddenly coming to agreement on forsaking him and sacrificing him for peace, he chuckled the most at them thinking that they completely disregarded his opinion on the matter of his life or death, he also chuckled at the fact that the Bloodlords and the Demons thought that he had no moves to make to turn the situation over .
How wrong were they, they weren't aware that he can still make a few moves, that won't just turn the situation over in his favor, but he will even gain more gains than he ever imagined and that was another reason for his unstoppable laughter .
they had unintentionally set his plan in reforming the demon race in motion, after it was delayed for years due to the absence of the great elder, the person he needed to fight and triumph against to claim and declare himself as the new and only leader of the Demon Race, but now this plan was in motion once more and the new variables that appeared made the reformation even easier to do, but that was under the premise of being able to survive this .
If he survived then no one in the entire race would be able to stand in his way forward no more, he will achieve what he wanted to and more .
His laughter bewildered all of the onlookers, it was a relentless and dreadful laughter, one that had most of the people present had goosebumps on their skin as if they were being piqued by needles, most of them interpreted his sudden laughter as him just going crazy, or a desperate last measure of some sort, but as the laughter continued the more experienced people who were present began to notice that the laughter of his were neither of the possibilities given .
The laughter was dreadful yes, but it wasn't because it was filled with despair, no it was because it being filled with ambition together with an indomitable spirit, ambition that seemed to want to swallow all of them in its belly and it still won't be near satisfied, but this realization of their was quite too late .
The Demon Emperor suddenly vanished from the place where he stood in previously and he instantly appeared in another location, but the location he happened to appear to or at least that what the onlookers thought at first was where those guys who were open to the idea of handing him over to the Bloodlords, but what happened next told everyone present that it was indeed not a coincidence that he appeared there .
The moment he appeared, he completely massacred most of those guys who were cheering and leering in favor of the decision about him being handed to the Bloodlords, then almost as if he hadn't even moved an inch from his original place, he once again reappeared in same place as before, forcing the whole scene to go silent .
The first who came back to his senses was the Demon Emperor himself and the Monster Emperor next to him, both already agreed on what were they going to do beforehand and agreeing on the details of what was going to happen and even planning this whole scene together, the tribute he offered to gave to the Bloodlords was a mere excuse all along .
Knowing the nature of those Bloodlords allowed him to understand and even take advantage of the situation to completely filtered and wipe all of those who might opposite him in the future, without giving them any chances for making amends .
This move of his also allowed to make dealing with those Bloodlords much more easier .
A few seconds later, the Bloodlords looked at the Demon Emperor once again, but this time their expressions were filled with disbelief, seconds later the onlookers began to gasp and some cheered loudly at the current turn of events .
The last reaction came from the families those guys belonged to, they all looked at the Demon Emperor with bloodshot eyes and cursed at him for killing their children and family members .
Some even were unable to calm their fury and they directly attacked the Demon Emperor from the back, the Demon Emperor didn't pay any of the incoming attack any mind, he stood there looking completely defenseless, if those attacks were to actually fall on him like that he will most likely suffer severe injuries, if he didn't die .
As the attackers came close to him, their bodies were suddenly ignited and they were all engulfed in some green strange flames that ate both their flesh and bones and left nothing but ashes and that wasn't even spared, air swept it the moment it was beginning to fall .
The one responsible for the appearance of those green weird flames was non other than the Monster Emperor, after all it was a quite familiar move that the Monster Emperor tend to use, something like a trademark of sort, so most if not all of the people that were present were able to identify it .
Then taking advantage of momentum he gained due to the actions of the Monster Emperor, the Demon Emperor once more began to take another step forward and declared those guys to be traitors and that they were dealt with accordingly as all the onlookers saw .
Then he declared quite clearly and loudly that he from now on will be the one and only leader for the demon race and those that do not agree with him claiming such a position for himself can step up now and challenge him for it, or staying down and in doing so they will be acknowledging him as their new leader .
The Monster Emperor seeing that he was getting a lot of weird looks, he scoffed and once again confirmed that his whim on protecting the Demon Emperor hadn't still changed, forcing all the people present to roll their eyes at him, but no one dared to do more than that, after all without having a powerful strength or a big background behind your back, criticizing the actions of emperors was courting your own death .
He chose the perfect time to make a move, all the people that were even thinking about stepping up to challenge him, will consider whether will they be able to deal with the Monster Emperor or not, the strength of the Demon Emperor himself was quite strong, but that wasn't the main problem that the challenger will need to deal with, no .
The actual challenge will be if someone stepped up for the challenge will the Monster Emperor allow the challenge to even began, he looked to be completely backing the Demon Emperor up, so the challenger ahead must have either powerful strength or some kind of a way to deter the Monster Emperor from playing any kind of trick .
My father seeing no one willing to stand up for that guy, he stepped up for the challenge, the Monster Emperor didn't do anything to interfere between the fight of the two .
But my father still lost to the way of space that the Demon Emperor choose for himself, but the demon emperor didn't stopped at just defeating my father, he wanted to make an example of him to all the people present by killing him, but surprisingly the one to interfere this time was the Blood Emperor, his sudden interval in the fight and trying to take advantage of the current chaos to get rid of the Demon Emperor, give my father away to retreat from the battlefield, but he was already considered to have already lost, so it didn't matter much to the Demon Emperor .
Then again the three parties of conflict stood opposite to each other and made all the people present wondering what will happen next and who will throw the first punch, in declaration of starting the war .
The Blood Emperor one last time confirmed that the Monster Emperor won't leave this matters be, the Monster Emperor only answer was to chuckle a bit a gesture that was enough for all to see that he indeed will side with the Demons on this matter .
The Blood Emperor gritted his teeth a bit in frustration and asked all those who had a relationship with their race to step up and lend a helping hand and in return the Bloodlord swore to do the same if they were to have a problem in the future .
His action was well received by a lot of people who began to gather around the Bloodlords in a making last preparation before a fight kinda manner, but some didn't receive it well, but even those will not side with the Monster Emperor or the Demons, so it was completely fine .
The sudden scene become so tense to the point that each and every party of the conflict was warily looking at the next action of the other party, one thing was certain for all the people present, no matter who was going to win or lose today, the Demons Homeland won't be able to survive today's battle .
As the battle was about to start, the sky once again welcomed another shocking figure, it was a person that was riding a nicely decorated chariot, the chariot was being pulled by white winged horses, the appearance to that chariot was so shocking due to what its appearance ment, the Spirit Race were here .
At least one of Their Emperors was, The Fleeing Dream Emperor, the most handsome guy in the entire race, born out of the marriage of two Emperor Figures and hailed as the male with the most potential of the entire realm, yet at that point he was not an Emperor level but a Ruler level, his appearance here was shocking due to its entailing that the spirit race, the strongest and most mysterious race in the realm will meddle in this too .
Luckily the solemnity of the scene didn't continue for too long, the chariot didn't land on the air, neither did the party inside of it came out of it, a melodic voice sounded from inside the chariot asking the two Emperor Figures to Reconcile with each other and stopping this farce immediately without giving the two emperors present no face at all, that race tyranny went even beyond the tyranny of the Bloodlord .
All the onlookers wondered what will the response of the two emperors who were being asked to retreat and even made peace with each other under the order of a Ruler level figure, one that they can normally kill with a flick of their fingers .
But not the person in front of them, their faces meant nothing to him, the same goes for their strength as well, he was a Ruler level individual but one that have the backing of the entire spirit race, an individual that even as Emperors they can't ignore giving him face .
Now that things came to this, the demon emperor rule and presence in all of this shrinked to become almost non-existent, the two Emperors didn't even try to argue with each other or with the person in the chariot, they both agreed to end this war between them for the sake of the Spirit Race face, the Bloodlords didn't speak any more nonsense and angrily asked for the permission to leave and they stormed out of the place, leaving as they came on the back of the severely injured dragon, must to the dismay of the Monster Emperor, but he too took his leave soon after without saying anything else to the Demon Emperor or the person in the chariot .
The atmosphere suddenly turned to be quite awkward, a moment before all the people here expected to witness a great and devastating battle between all of the parties in conflict, but never in their wildest dreams did they expected things to happen in this kind of way, but soon after the Monster Emperor left this place, they too took theirs my leave one after the other .
The Demon Emperor wasn't able to comprehend the sudden turn of events and his face had quite the shocked expression on his face, while looking at the chariot in the sky and at my father .
The person in the chariot was after all leaning more toward supporting my father than to support the Demon Emperor, due to my father marrying into the sister of the guy in the chariot, that was my dad course of action to be able to stand up against the Demon Emperor's ambition .
But the man in the chariot only left the words " don't do things like that again " and it directly left, the words were aimed at the demon emperor, all the people present were able to tell due to his face becoming paler and coughing a bit of blood after the chariot left, but even with him looking to be injured like this, no one dared to step forward and resume challenging him, the next day during the coronation of the demon race new leader, the race welcomed a new member in their ranks, the successor of the Demon Emperor was finally born .
Blazan was the name given to the newborn and this guy's birth marked the beginning of the last few steps in the Demon Emperor plans, that guy from the day he was born was fated to lead the demons in conquering this land, but variables kept on appearing delaying the consummation of that plan, but that wasn't the case anymore .
