“Security seems robust,” Alucard observed as he glanced over at the city gate. Although most of the wall that surrounded the formerly grand city had been broken down, there were constructors working hard to mend what was broken. Several guards manned the work sites and many were at least at the Profound Realm! This was an extravagant display considering that most cities in this world had only one or two Profound Realmers; and those cities were regarded as A Class Cities!“It truly is a grand city,” Alucard seemed to understand why their young Master was eager to forge an alliance with them now. If he had known that the person who was supposed to be forging an alliance had not done anything of the sort, he would not have said what he had said. While he knew that the destruction of the city was certainly tied to the young Supreme, he didn’t know that the young Supreme had not accomplished the task for which he had set out to this place for.As the carriage approached the city gate, the
Mane was speaking to the Dragon King within the throne room about the next course of action. He had informed the Dragon King of the reason for his coming, and was surprised when the Dragon King agreed immediately to form an alliance with the very same races that had confined the humans to this small city. Then again, they weren’t really humans, considering the bloodlines that they possessed. That didn’t matter though. He had achieved his purpose. Usually that would have been the end of the matter; however, it wasn’t. And that was because the Citadel knew much more about Pazuzu than Mane thought. It turned out that the monster that the Dragon Lord and Elder Hanuman were raving about was Pazuzu himself. To his surprise, the Citadel had come into contact with Pazuzu before! Mane wanted to know more; hence he stayed in the throne room. Komfo Anokye had been the first to leave after they met the Dragon Lord. He knew he wasn’t welcome here and honestly, he didn’t want their welcome. Once Ma
The man who was the topic of Mane and Dragon King Bast’s conversation was currently in a place engulfed by darkness. On his shoulder was his cat and in his hand was a torch that burned bright. The path before him was uncertain and the distance he had to walk was unknown, but he moved anyway.This place was a tunnel several meters underground, and he had come here because his mission had led to this place.Just like Dragon King Bast had told Mane, Pazuzu was doing the very thing that Bast assumed that he would do if he ever got out: he was seeking for his people. He who had been sealed for many years was aware that the demons that followed him were alive and had been sealed as well. Initially, he didn’t know where they were, so he had roamed towns and cities, looking for clues. This planet was a small one. While it could be considered large by mortal standards, to powerful wielders and gods who possessed insane speed, this planet was small and could be easily explored; however for some
Pazuzu read the text several times to make sure that he was reading the right thing; and once he had confirmed that he was, he couldn’t help but be baffled by what he was seeing.“Now that is just a dumb thing to do. Why would you tell a random person exactly how to break the seal? This seems like the work of that idiot Humbaba” Pazuzu sighed in disappointment as he read the text again. While he was pleased that he wouldn’t have to do much, he was disappointed in the people he once called his family. How could they be so naive? Which idiot would tell someone exactly how to release a horde of demons? Even to Pazuzu, this did not make sense at all. It was almost too good to be true. If there was any doubt that this was not the right place, that doubt was gone now; and it was all thanks to a silly message left behind by the gods.“Sometimes I wonder if we truly were born of the same parent,” the Wind Demon King shook his head in disgust. However, the sooner he spoke those words, the soon
As Pazuzu was greeted by the light outside the tunnel, his mind wondered what he could do next. He did not have any leads to follow, and the one thing that he had found had been taken away from him in the most cruel of jokes.“Is there any who would know what I seek?” he asked himself, trying hard to recall everything he knew thus far. Maybe - just maybe - there was something that he had missed. However, when he tried to recall what was necessary; when he tried to dig up the memories that he was confident he could find something in, his mind drew a blank as though those memories were forcefully suppressed.“This damned seal is not letting off even after my release!” Pazuzu exclaimed in a anger and punched the ground.*Boom*With a deafening groan a huge crater that spanned several hundreds of meters in diameter was formed. The cat that lay atop the Wind Demon King’s shoulders trembled as it was engulfed in its master’s fear.“To think you’d still be impressing on me even when you’re g
The Tower of the Hundred was a tower that was known by every elder of the three Great Races. The tower in itself had no great use other than it’s absolute defense and ability to reappear. What made the tower famous was the one who occupied it; and her name was Ashera.Ashera stood upon the roof of the Tower of the Hundred with her eyes fixed onto a ring of clouds located in the east. The lady who was always so calm and composed had a worried expression on her face, and within those orbs, some fear could be seen.“He has awakened,” she stuttered nervously. While it was questionable that she had been able to infer this from just the clouds, this was not a normal world. This was a world were people controlled elements and possessed the ability to take on powerful beasts. There was nothing ordinary here.“I did not think that it would be so soon,” she mumbled. Per her predictions, the one called Pazuzu should have only awakened after a few more decades at the very least. That would have b
Pazuzu was making his way to Intersection when he felt the distinct aura of a Wind Demon. His eyes flashed brightly as he abandoned his initial pursuit. Without any hesitation he turned towards the direction of that aura and pulled his cat off his shoulder and into his arms. For someone known for his callousness, he sure was gentle when it came to his pet.“Hold on tight,” he gently informed the cat as he petted its fur. It meowed comfortably before nodding its head intelligently and nuzzling into his bosom. Once it was comfortable enough, Pazuzu nodded his head and pushed forward, fracturing the ground he stood upon!*Boom*Like a comet he flew into the sky and dashed past numerous clouds. He who was the Wind Demon King could easily summon the clouds to carry him to his destination, but he was in too much of a hurry to pick such a luxurious form of travel. After all, he did not know when that aura would disappear. He had to get to it before it did. Five seconds - that was ll the time
As Ashera tried to process what was happening, she was given another clue. For suddenly a strange symbol appeared on Pazuzu’s forehead. The symbol was that of a six-sided star, and it appeared right above Pazuzu’s right eyebrow. It glowed with a trace of malice and unruliness, and Ashera’s eyes sparkled when she saw it.“The Insidious Seal of David” Ashera could not help but be surprised by the star; but her surprise did not deter her from identifying it. The Insidious Seal was a sealing technique that could only be used by Cree royalty - royalty that Ashera was certain had been wiped out because Pazuzu had made sure of that. The Cree royal family was the head of the Cree god clan, a clan which Pazuzu had forced into extinction, leaving only the demon faction behind. Humbaba was the last remaining survivor of the Cree god clan before he cast himself into a seal with Pazuzu. His disappearance marked the disappearance of the Cree god clan from the universe as well.This meant that techn
