Chereads / Demon King Xeos / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Years after Years. Battlefield after Battlefield. Death after Death. Xeos Continues his endless journey to a nonexistent goal. He wonders wasteland after wasteland looking for something, anything, to peak his interest. His title alone causes even the coldest of demons to sweat and run for safety. Xeos didn't have a limit to his power and just continuing growing. Though he is very powerful he has and will always choose to wield a sword instead of using his demonic magic he managed to create. He loves learning and creating his own spells. His current and only goal is to find a way out of this hell hole.

He has been wandering and looking for a way to leave for thousands of years. He is even trying to create his own magic to let him leave and create a portal. He's got it half down but can't finish it since he needs to see and maybe capture a creature that can teleport of create a similar situation. He has yet to come across one yet despite spending a long time searching for one.

He didn't care how long it takes. He can't truly die anyways and has nothing more to do. Hell even killing which became something that he enjoys doing or more like fighting either way has become boring since not a lot of people if any can challenge him anymore. He even created his own kingdom and is it's ruler but left a copy of himself behind to rule it. He has conquered many lands and his kingdom has a safe haven for those who don't wish to fight.

It's not that he truly cares but he remembers when he first came here and how many times he suffered and died. He looked at his death count and scoffed. 10,000 deaths exactly. He has tried killing himself multiple times via multiple different ways to falling from a great height, to drowning in the deepest lake he could find. There were no oceans in the underworld just ponds and lakes scattered through out the wasteland.

They are basically Oasis's that you can find. There are also wells and canals to get water from. He even can create water from thin air and refill the canals and wells if he has too. He created countless pools and lakes within his kingdom for the people to enjoy. He even created a few hot springs as well simply because he was bored and was just creating things he remembered back from his home world. They weren't very technologically advanced but they did have spas and pools that they use to cool off on very hot days.

After a while Xeos has heard a couple of rumors recently about a demon that was able to teleport a couple years ago and hasn't stop following the leads he gets. It's hard to track a bastard that teleports away continuously. He swore he wouldn't rest or stop until he gets him and takes the info he needs from him. He is the only ticket Xeos needs to get out of this hell hole.

He continues his journey throughout the towns and villages looking for any kind of useful information. Most of it is usually useless but some info was worth hearing about.

Though he became very strong, he knew he wasn't the strongest. The ones above him just happened to be lazy most of the time and just minding their own business. Xeos accepted this concept and respected them for it. What's the point in fighting if no one can give them a challenge.

Xeos had an superb idea and went to the nearest jewelry and bought 2 waist bands made of chains, a necklace, and a choker with a skull on it. He decided to seal his power away to make him weaker to get more excitement. The two chains on his wrists will seal away 20% of his strength. The Necklace will seal 30% of his strength, and the choker will seal 50% of his strength. He can control them to seal or awaken his power whenever he wants. This will also help when he gets too strong and needs to seal his power anyway. The Royal demons all do it so why can't he.

He immediately sealed all of his strength and became like he was before but his body was much more stronger and he still has all his knowledge and battle experience, so even if he's weaker, he can still put up with the lower rank demons easily. His natural strength, the one he can't seal put him at the beginning of Mid Rank Demon despite having all his strength and power sealed. This is his natural state as a demon that you can't get rid of.

He decided to go back to training and get readjusted to being weaker so he doesn't overestimate himself. He doesn't care about dying at all. He doesn't want to die uselessly and what not. Plus his pride as a demon can't accept defeat to a low rank demon. He went to the nearest slaughter house where people come to fight and test their strength resulting in slaughtering everyone. It's basically a 24/7 battle royale.

A perfect place to test his weaker strength. He walked into the area and the two guards saw him entering and smiled. The slaughter house also works as a place of entertainment for other demons.

Xeos was a regular here and the reigning champion. Everyone wants a piece of him and take his title. He couldn't contain the grin on his face. The only thing he enjoys is fighting and killing. It gives him the rush and energy to keep on going. That's why he sealed his strength so he can fight other people and get his excitement up. He always looking for stronger opponents but why look when you can weaken yourself and get the same feeling.

He cracks his neck and knuckles and dashes past the guards into the warzone going on and started killing left from right. All with the biggest grin on his face and a glare in his eyes.
