“How many days has it been…? 7…? No, eight.” A low voice was heard inside a big wooden box.
*Knock-knock*
“You still alive ?” Macro said as he knocked on the wooden box from the outside.
Mike didn’t replied…his lips are dry due to not consuming blood for 8 days straight.
“Well look what I’ve bought for you.” Macro said as he showed mike a bottle filled with red liquid.
As soon as mike saw the bottle through the gaps of wood planks his eyes immediately turned red.
“B-Blood….” He said in a low voice.
“Here.” Macro said as he throwed the bottle of blood towards mike.
Mike caught it at once and immediately opened it up as he drank it in one go.
*Gulp*
“It’s time for you to face your judgement Mikelson.” Macro said with a laugh.
“How do you know my name ?” Mike asked.
“Your little wife has made and pasted your flyers all over the town that says you are missing….hahaha.”
“Jenna…” Mike said as he looked at himself in disappointment.
“I wonder if the Stonelake house’s members will live inside the 7th ring for long.”
At this point mike felt utterly helpless as his 8 days of torture were wasted and his enemy still knew the name of the house he was working for.
“Fuckk…” Mike shouted as he punched the wooden box but nothing happened to the wooden box, instead mike’s hand started bleeding.
After this mike was directly taken to the king’s court.
A blonde man sat on the throne and his eyes shined blue, his body was old, and a golden crown covered his head, a red coat was covering around his body, he holded a gem jaded cane in his left hand.
“Mikelson, you are found guilty of kingdom treason and stealing from the king himself.” One of the king’s minister announced.
“If you find any of these charges to be wrong or not true, you may say No.” He continued.
“It’s tru-”
“All of these charges are true, my king.” Before mike could’ve said anything a voice came from the gate of the court.
As everyone turned and looked at the source of this voice…a man in his early 30’s appeared….this man was none other than Robert Stonelake himself.
“Robert ?” King said as he looked at robert in confusion.
“I greet the all mighty and the ruler of the human race, your grace ” Robert greeted as he bowed a bit.
“Are you here to defend him, sir robert ?” A minister asked.
“Of course, he is here to save his slave so he could use him again to steal things from the king.” Another minister taunted.
“You idiots, didn’t you hear what i said a moment ago ?” Robert said as a threatening aura was released from his body.
*Clang* the king moved his cane from his left hand to right hand and crossed his legs over each other.
Suddenly a far bigger threatening aura was released from the king’s body.
King’s aura overpowered robert’s aura as everyone went silent.
This showed that the king was still far more powerful than robert.
Two prince who were standing on the left and right side of the king laughed as they watched this.
“I-I am sorry, your grace. I shall not repeat the same mistake ever again.” Robert said as he stopped his aura from spreading further.
Everyone went silent and only one voice was heard after the silence.
“What do you want, Robert ?” King asked in a heavy voice.
“My lord…Every charge on this man is correct and I’ve already killed his wife and daughter in order to punish him for his crimes.” Robert said.
As soon as these words fell in Mike’s ears his mind went blank.
“He was a very good servent for our family but exactly 10 days ago he went rouge and betrayed our family as he planned to steal something very precious from my king with his friend Rux.” Robert continued.
On the other side mike was listening to the fake charges that he was getting charged with even though he didn’t do any of them.
“J-Jenna….A-Alisa…are…..DEAD.” suddenly a very threatening aura was released from mike’s body that broke the shackles that were absorbing his mana.
“Y-You killed my wife and my daughter ?” Mike said as he looked at Robert like bloodthirsty beast.
Raising his right hand towards robert mike started chanting a spell.
” O Lord Of The Shadows, I Offer You The Sacrifice Of Blood. Grant Me Your Power. <Last Sacrifice>” Mike chanted.
[Last Sacrifice][Rank: Forbidden Grade]
[It is said that who lives in shadows will perish from the light but before light comes everyone has to face the shadows. With this skill the user will offer his life to the ‘Lord of the shadows’. He who resides in the depths of hell will wake up to the user’s call and will be summoned to the real world. He will grant the user’s last wish and collect his body and soul in exchange.]
[Your Life For the summoning]
A black aura rose up from the ground as it continued to grow bigger with time and consumed mike’s body in it’s dark aura.
‘What do you want, Mortal ?’ A black figure asked mike.
“Kill everyone inside this hall and drag their souls to the depths of hell.”
‘HAHAHA…YOUR WISH SHALL BE GRANTED, MORTAL.’ The black figure laughed.
Suddenly a malicious black aura started spreading all over mike’s body as it took over him. .𝗰𝗼𝗺
Mike’s body was turned into a demon’s body.
Only two golden shining eyes were visible on his head, leaving them aside….every part of mike’s body was covered with shadows.
“Shhhhhhh….Haaaaa….Mortal World’s air still has the same sweetness in it. Just like old times.” The shadow covering mike’s body spoke as it took a long breathe inside and let out a black vapour from it’s mouth.
“A Forbidden Skill.” Someone spoke out loud.
“What a forbidden skill…?”
“Yes, That’s a very rare forbidden skill…only those who’ve achieved a certain class in shadow assassin race can use it.”
“What the hell is that thing ?” A minister asked.
“I don’t know it looks like a demon.” Another minister replied.
“Lord Of The shadows.” A young minister with green hair and blue eyes stood up from his place as he shouted.
The black figure immediately looked at the young minister and smiled in a evil way.
“What ? Lord of the shadows ? You mean that Lord of the shadows who had a contract with the 3rd general of the demon king ?”
“Yes, The counsellor.”
The whole court immediately went silent.
“Well, mortals it’s time that you all die.”
“Guards, kill him.” A minister spoke.
The knights were afraid of the black figure but it was a order from the minister they had to accomplish it.
As commanded 12 guards came running towards the black shadow but as soon as they stepped in a 5 meter radius of him all of them died instantly.
Only black vapours came out of their metal armours.
“How dare you, mortals ?” The black figure spoke in anger.
“You fiend, on the name of the lord return back to the depts of hell from where you came from.” A man wearing white gown and holding beads in his hands stood up from his seat and shouted as he throwed holy water towards the black figure.
*Shhhhh*
The holy water turned into steam as soon as it touched the black shadow’s body.
“Ha…Haha…Hahahhahahahahah….you think i am some lowly demon don’t you ? You think you can just shoo me away with that drinking water of yours huh…?” The black shadow said as it laughed out loudly.
The man’s expression who throwed the holy water on the vlack shadow immediately turned grim.
“This…is impossible.” The man spoke as his beads turned into a big snake and killed him instantly by biting at his neck.
“Aaaahhhhhhhhhh…” After watching his death everyone inside the hall started to panic as they started running towards the exit door.
“No…You are not going anywhere.” The black shadow spoke as it raised it’s index finger and pointed towards the exit gate.
*Thud*
Both gates immediately closed off as a black covering covered them.
“No…let me out.” A woman shouted as she tried to open the door forcefully.
*Chck*
Suddenly the black layer covering the door turned into two big hands and cracked her neck as they went back to normal.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. someone save me.”
“Noooooo….he is going to kill us all.”
“Save us….lord.”
Everyone started panicking as they started running here and there.
“Ah…this smell of fear.” The black figure said as it laughed like maniac.
“Oi, stop laughing i don’t like bitches like you.” A man said as he stepped out of the mister’s section.
He was none other than Denver house’s representative Drake Denver, who was also a minister in the king’s court.
His hair were blonde, eyes were Green, glasses on his eyes and a locket in his hands that was made out of silver in the shape of a star.
