The demon possessed guard left his spot it was time for his shift anyway as if everything was normal however, this was all an illusion!
the guard was simply from a small family in the country side finding favour in the eyes of the Emperor himself,he was awarded with this job with this duty he became well know around the Empire this made it so easy for him to find a good wife in less than a year In the line of duty.
But there was a disadvantage to all of this due to being a new guard himself,that was pretty much all he could be in the nearest decades to come except he got promoted thereby granting him access to skills books and the way of cultivation to strengthen his core
His current weakness led to the current condition he was in now.....demon possessed.with no way of fighting back his consciousness had been sealed for some time in the same dark environment with the air of death constantly around him.
The illusion was simply a skill cast by the mist that had taken Control of the body
'damn this body is weak how did I possess such a weak host.i should have found someone stronger but that would hinder my plans by a large margin ad maybe the next guard in line could be stronger? but judging from what I saw in his thoughts the guards are supposed to be weak.Is the Emperor so arrogant that he leaves his palace gates practically unguarded?'
Continuing on his way,and making a lot of twists and turns he moved like he knew where he was going. like a man filled with purpose.but this was all a mirage the guard didn't know anything of the palace and he didn't want to ask around as that would seem suspicious he didn't want to look in the guard's memory as that was sealed by the king himself..he would have to break it fast but that may alert the king and could cause instant death to the body which was currently being possessed by him
Won't it be highly suspicious if the grandmaster was to die today and a random guard too did the same? was the thought process running through his mind.the guard however heard a noise coming from the throne room turning back and hiding in the corner he saw Bellion exiting the room with a tired expression and a face fully drenched with sweat
"thank you my king..the job was well done today" Bellion said as he walked on
the guards face turned as expression of disgust and shock met his face..
'is the king ga-'
'oh shi-' quickly activating his concealing device imbedded into him by the demon emperor specifically for this task he was able to stay hidden from Bellion's sight.
'ahh just the man I was waiting for' again activating another device in his body his body started disappearing as he became invisible and began following Bellion down to his own courtyard
Bellion's courtyard was wide as big but the king's own was about four times bigger than his however he was the person in the entire realm that had a courtyard without too much difference from the Emperor moving into his room which had a king sized bed he swung the door wide open unaware that he was being followed by someone who had the mission to assassinate him.
"ughh today was so stressful who knew putting my heart into fully completing that thing would drain me so much the king did a wonderful job in helping me keep my strength or I might have passed out" Bellion thought out loud
'WHAT THE FU-'
'what am I even hearing the king is gay?'
looking at Bellion once more with a weird expression on his face,he made his way to his bed his shoes not making any sound due to the concealing device he had in him.bringing out a specially designed knife given to him he was about to strike Bellion who had fallen asleep by now
seriously someone so powerful fell asleep this quickly it was as if he wasn't scared of anything or that anyone would actually dare to harm him in the entire heaven realm
but....but as the knife was brought out the concealing device could not hold in the killing intent produced by the knife which looked like it had drenched abd bathed in the blood of thousands because of this Bellion was awakened by this turning to his right he looked there only for the killing intent to disappear immediately
'phew good thing I was able to activate the second form of the concealing device but now I've a limited time on this device'
Bellion did a quick scan with his eyes before lying back on the bed not knowing this one blunder will cost him his life
soon falling asleep few minutes later the guard made a few steps forward before standing right in front of his bed with teeth clenched he shot the knife toward into Bellion's heart.
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" a sharp scream escaped Bellion's month as his instinctive reaction made him grab anything nearby but unfortunately he grabbed the hands of the guard which had the knife in his heart.this knife was special as it was able to resist holy energy produced by the angels themselves making them weaker every passing second
getting up and gazing seemingly at the air Bellion threw his fist and..
*Bang* the guards body flew up creasing in a nearby tree and passing out.the dark mist quickly abandoned his body and fled for it's life but Bellion was two steps ahead if him already erecting a barrier around his courtyard which allowed no one to enter and no one to exit
______________________________________
the king was looking out of his window when he saw the barrier
'HUH? IT CAN'T BE THAT BARRIER HAS NEVER BEEN USED BUT TO BE USED NOW,HE MUST BE IN TROUBLE'
quickly teleporting to Bellion's courtyard he saw Bellion's body decaying and a passed out guard nearby and his eyes fell on a purplish-dark mist that was trying frantically to escape the barrier. feeling the gaze of the king in him the mist shuddered 'oh fuck'
the king directly appeared in front of him stabbing his hand into the mist,the mist simply vanished as if swallowed by a black hole the spirit which was planning a sweet life after completing his mission was dead
"BELLION!!!! BELLION!! CAN YOU HEAR ME!" the king shouted as the tried pouring energy into him but it was then he heard a grunt
" noooo stop you are hurting me more by giving me energy I'm afraid I've been poisoned by this knife I can't live much longer I'm afraid this is the end it was fun while it lasted but my time has come goodbye...Mt king" with this words Bellion passed away the grand master who had stayed by the king's side was gone...forever with a small soul taking place in the outside world forming Bellion's feature,the soul of Bellion flew into the distance as if being drawn by something
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! THOSE DEMONS DAMN THEM. CURSE THEM. HOW DARE THEY.. I'LL KILL THEM I'LL KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!'
