Chereads / The Master of Seventh Gate / Chapter 38 - Chapter 37

Chapter 38 - Chapter 37

Location: Ruby palace, demons world.

"You idiots! You said that his son is dead. How come he is still alive? You, elf wizards, are useless. You just have a good look and nothing else." Lug said.

He took out his sword without wasting time cut off one of the heads and said, "I want his blood." Then he closely looked at others' eyes and added, "He was too old and out of mind. You're my yeoman and the master of all wizards from now on. So, gather yourself up. I don't think that you'd like to end up like him."

"Yes, master. Thanks for giving me this honor." Duna, the young magician elf obeyed.

"That's good. Now, get out of my face. Besides, work on opening the world's gateways. I want to take those elves out of their holes." Lug said.

"Yes, master," Duna said.

He was struggling so hard to eliminate the borders and that was a secret only the king was aware of. The evil master once thought he can reach whatever he wants by kidnapping the king's son.

After the wizards left, Lug turned to one of his men and said, "Hey Atesh. You must bring me Suran. I heard that he comes to the human world a lot. If we can trap him, the king would do anything to get him back. Find him for me. Use our spies, he's done his job well before." A red fiend bowed and passed a glass of blood to Lug.

"Yes, master. But we can't get in touch with him for now. The king's suspected something." He replied with his filthy hushing accent. He got crazy when he heard that and threw the glass of blood to one of the walls and shouted, "Find another way then. I want that bastard prince."

They suspected that Taeyan was one of the light owners, but they lost the baby because of the queen who is in the dark now, but this was good for Suran as he was reserved from the demons.

The demon commander, Lug, the first son of Abalis was hiding for a long run having filthy plans on his head. He was arrogant and self-involved calling everyone horrible nicknames. Although many of his subordinates have been trying to get him out of the way and murder him, they couldn't succeed and were killed by him or have been given missions that were impossible to get out of it alive.

Lug was so talented to deceive dynasties with the most beautiful words and promises, but as soon as he was done with them, he would leave them alone to die harshly. Many of those people regretted what they have done, committed suicide, or went down the darkness instead of facing their mistakes and compensate for them. They got stuck in a place with tall and shadow walls, on which dreadful sculptures of filthy creatures could be seen as if they could look around and watch over anybody. This was the place you could smell blood and fearfully empty of light even the wizards were scared of him and getting inter to all his desires, fear, and thirst for power made them obey him.

-Three days later-

Atesh suddenly appeared in the hall with three of his men. His lord did not like this kind of arrival. So, he stood up, pushed him out of rigor only by moving a finger, and said, "You're a fool. I told you not to enter my room like this."

Atesh couldn't move out of strong fear and he was trembling when he said, "Please spare me my lord… my lord I have two good and one bad news."

Lug turned back on his face and seated on his throne, then growled, "I hope they're good enough to keep you alive."

Then he looked down the map on the table in which special areas were marked.

"We figured out that Suran's been coming to the human world a lot lately. Our spies said that they saw him on Argon Island which is vacant of human beings." Atesh said.

Lug yelled at him, they brought him new while he asked for something else, "This is no good. I told you to bring him to me not to tell me about his destinations. Tell me other news now."

"We arrested Karina, one of the world guardians in the Petra city, but her golden Pegasus ran away. And the bad news is that our spy has been caught." His voice trembled.

"Your second news is great, but I don't care about the last one. It's his fault. He should have done his job right. I won't feel pity for elves. Anyways he was just a snaky." Then he began to laugh loudly.

"That's right, master," Atesh said dreadfully.

"Find Pegasus. Other guardians would also come to rescue this one. Conceal her in the temple with fire chains of hell. Did she have the bred with her?"

Atesh answered, "No, my lord. She's hiding it and doesn't talk."

"So torture her till she talks," Log ordered for a long term wish.

"Shall we kill her if she didn't talk?"

Lug over raged, "NO, YOU FOOL. We need her alive to torture the sky and the earth guardians. They've killed so many of us. Those elves must be disappointed with their help. They helped in the last war and guardians will do it again. My lord can't take in another mistake again."

"Yes, my lord. Please allow me to send some groups to the places they've already seen and catch them."

"I see that you're using that empty brain. Besides, go and see what did those elf wizards do? Use human wizards' help to catch the prince. Now, get lost. I have things to do."

"Yes, your majesty," Atesh mumbled.

Lug would rather keep the dolt ones closer, at least they couldn't cheat on him. Out of dread, they'd rather obey him for having a safe place in his court.

As they left, Lug walked towards the prisons. There were dark and damp. The smell of carrion bites the nose, and a deadly silence seized that deep. He opened the door, there was an untidy, tumbled middle aged lady was sitting in the darkness. Her clothes were covered by dirt and her hands scuffed in the chain, but still, she looked stunning.

"You'll talk soon, queen Taya. I'll understand the truth after all these 17 years then I'll kill your family and make you watch them slaughtered then I'll kill you if I want to. Your coward husband, Sayan, cannot hide anymore." Then he laughed devilishly and its horrifying sound got together with the thunderbolt.

Lug intended to prepare his army for a surprising war, but first of all, he needed to find a way to enter the elves' planet. He must gather his allies, but before he awakens all notorious monsters including the shadow dragon.

Lug has fed his flesh-eating savage monsters with human flesh. His favorite pet was his tiger with a scorpion-like tail. He had a poisonous bite, strong wings which could make storms, while fire came out of his mouth. Lug loved his monsters so much because they were as dark and ruthless as his soul.
