Chereads / The Son Of The Demon King / Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 16 : PURGATORY

Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 16 : PURGATORY

In Purgatory, several killometres away from a forest was a large building. It was a sinister building surrounded by a dark purple mist. The building was dark in colour and was a large Manor. It was also named as The Manor of Darkness where the Demon King roomed. The Manor was so in such way that the darkest clouds of the continent were gathered above it.

Inside the Manor, a man was seen seated on a large black throne. He had short spikey black hairs and brown eyes. He was in a black armour having some designs of skulls all over it. By his side was a four armed demon just like Sukuna but this one was and S-rank demon. This was a more handsome one. The region where it was to be white in his eyes, it was dark insted and its pupils were all red in colour. He emmitted a menacing aura and was looking at the Demon King with fear.

The Demon King's face was hid in darkness and was expressionless. He looked the demon by him and said "What's the matter with the demonic nests" "My highness, there is a large lack of the purple mist in the nests and the demons are unable to rank up properly if there is not a large supply of the mist" said the demon with fear "Make sure you tell this to Malicia. She has to increase the intensity of the mist or the army won't be able to be at its fullest capacity in the next week to come" said the Demon King "Ok my highness" said the demon as he bowed "What about the special aura i asked to be localised" said the Demon King "My highness we haven't been able to localise any signature of the aura. We still need some time my Highness" said the demon as he bowed with his knee down "What!!!??? DON'T YOU SEE TIME IS THE THING WE ARE LACKING? THE AURA IS THAT OF MY SON AND HE WILL BE THE NEXT DEMON KING. SO MAKE SURE TO LOCALISE HIS AURA AND BRING HIM TO ME OK" Shouted the Demon King as it echoed in the whole Manor. Already shivering from the Demon King's tone he put all his hands down on the floor and spoke "We will do all our possible my highness and we will bring him to you" "I hope so. You can dispose now and make the researchs"

As the Demon King said those words, the demon disappear in thin air out of the Manor and left the Demon King there on his throne "Where are you my son, where are you?" said Mcknight as he looked up the ceiling "I thought you knew where your son is Mcknight" a deep voice resounded in his mind "I haven't told you that Gerode" said Mcknight "Don't forget that we need his power to break my seal so that we can start with our plan of ruling the world. But with that i need to be in my full capacity and the major part of my power is sealed Mcknight. Don't let me be more impatient or else" saying so, a piercing pain stroke Mcknight's head as he fell from his throne and held his head "Ok ok Gerode. Don't worry we shall find him and break you seal. I jsut need some more time" "I just hope so hahahahahahah..." Gerode laugh so much that it was overheard by Mcknight

Standing up and going on his throne, Mcknight sat on his throne as he tighten his fists so much that his nails pierced his palm and blood leaked out his palm.

....

Far away from the Manor of Darkness was a building made of a hard metallic door. Inside the building was a table and some chairs. After some time, Sukuna appeared from nowhere inside the building and sat on one of the chairs. Sooner, twelve other demons appeared from nowhere in the room.

They all sat round the table and their meeting could now start. They were all S-rank demons and were the elite S-rank demons of the Demonic guard. Sukuna was at the head of them all and was the most powerful of all "Our highness is not glad for our laziness my fellow mates. He is unhappy with us the demons. We haven't located the aura of his son who is to be our next ruler in time to come. If we do not locate his son,I fear that the Demon King will lost his patient and it will be all for us" said Sukuna as he looked at all the other demons with a serious expression on his face

They all had some time to process all the information they just recieved and looked at each other with fear "Then we need to take the situation in hand ourself" a female voice said "But how are we going to proceed with the searchings" another demon said as he caressed his chin " "We don't have a precised location where we can localise him. So we will have to search in all the continents and even the Celestial clan" "Am ok with that" said another female voice "We also have a problem with the Demonic nests as you all know. The King said we need to see Malicia for that but we have no idea of where she is. But i can still feel her aura and she is still in the continent but very far away"

Saying so, they all ended the meeting after they decided on what to do next. Each and every one of them took the initiative to carry on his assigned task.

Back at Xelephix, Chandler and Layla were at the canteen chatting about what god knows and laughing. Coming toward them was Anabelle. She walked majestically toward their table attracting the attention of the other students in the canteen

Seeing her come toward them, Chandler just looked at her as he shook his head "Her again, what's the matter with this girl Layla" "I would tell you if i knew it. But what i can say is that she always like maltreating peoples. She has in mind that she can get all what she wants with the money her parents have. She doesn't care about what peoples think of her but if you try going against her she will make sure to put you back at your place" Explained Layla with disgust in her eyes "So she's that type to count on daddy when she has a little trouble right?" Chandler said with a smile "We can say that yeah"

Reaching where Chandler and Layla were sitting, she joined and sat with them without even asking if she could. This made Layla to pop a vein on her forehead but calmed herself when she saw Chandler wasn't even having Ananbelle's time
