Chereads / Demon Prince's Bride / Chapter 8 - The Forbidden Garden

Chapter 8 - The Forbidden Garden

The haunted halls of the temple held secrets from the past, and Elysia and Vaelon's quest to win back the Demon King's heart brought them face to face with the echoes of history. As they stepped deeper into the depths of the temple, they were overcome with anxiety. There was a chilling silence in the air and the walls of the temple seemed to bear witness to the battles and tragedies of ages long forgotten. The flashlights lining the corridors cast flickering shadows, creating an eerie otherworldly atmosphere. Elysia and Vaelon's footsteps echoed through the dimly lit corridors as they followed the path that led them into the heart of the temple. Along the way, they encountered spectral visions of demons locked in eternal battle, their forms caught in an endless dance of battle. The deeper they went, the more the past seemed to invade the present. Memories of a time when demons and celestial beings clashed in epic battles whispered in the air, their voices a hesitating symphony of war and sorrow. Finally, they reached the heart of the temple, the room that floods the rest of the world. In the middle of it stood the towering figure of the Demon King, his gaze both stern and sad. Within the statue's hands was the Demon King's heart, a shining gem that pulsated with dark ancient power. Elysia and Vaelon approached the statue, their hearts heavy with the weight of history. But when they reached the heart, they encountered a spectral guardian, a manifestation of the past, determined to protect the artifact at all costs. In a fierce battle, they defeated the guardian and obtained the heart of the Demon King. As Elysia held the pearls, she felt a mixture of power, darkness, and redemption that echoed the struggles of demons throughout the ages. However, their victory was short-lived as the temple itself seemed to come alive. The walls shook and the echoes of history grew louder and threatened to engulf them. They knew they had to escape before the ancient magic of the temple took over. As they hurried back through the corridors, the temple itself seemed to resist their escape. Walls moved, corridors closed, and it became clear that the temple did not want to release its treasure. Desperate and with no way out, Elysia and Vaelon reached a dead end. But just as it looked like they were caught, a wave of power came out of the demon king's heart. With a bright flash, the temple's magic was suppressed and they were free. They walked out of the temple, the demon king's heart in their possession, and the echoes of the past finally subsided. Their journey was full of danger, but they overcame the shadows of history and found the ultimate key to breaking the curse. Hearts in their hands, Elysia and Vaelon knew they were one step closer to their goal. The redemption of the Demon Country was upon them, and they were determined to see their journey to the end.
