Solomon enters the crimson portal, he felt his body got transported.
Upon entering the eighth floor where King Saruth lives, he immediately felt the catastrophic demonic energy in the surrounding.
The Demonic Energy is so thick that one can see it with their naked eyes.
In front of Solomon sits King Saruth in his throne,
King Saruth is leaning his head on his hands lazily, his massive and muscular body is more humanoid than the other Archdemon, his sclera is pure black while his retina is red, and there’re two black curved horns sticking out of his head.
There is a demon woman on his lap, her red lips can seduce any man, her humanoid naked curvy body, and her black ink hair makes her almost identical to humans.
The differences between them are her are two goat-like horns on her head and a black long-tail poking out of her back.
Her skin is ashy grey, she didn’t look like a regular demon.
The throne is vast with rows of stairs to get to the throne, there is only one way towards King Saruth with a sea of lavas on both sides.
Above the throne lies a black reddish ball that is the source of the Demonic Energy, it opens slowly revealing an eye in it.
The eye looks at Solomon intently, it follows Solomon’s move while he walks closer.
Beside Saruth is a big red bastard sword that is levitating, it was emitting a fiery aura that scorched the entire place making it even hotter.
The Vampire’s beside Solomon felt his skin heating, his body can’t handle the heat.
The surface of his skin creates bubbles because of the scorching hot place, his mana is not strong enough to block the heat on the eighth floor.
“Don’t get closer, you’ll die”, Solomon said to the vampire.
The Vampire nodded his head with a pained expression, he is already at his limit.
Solomon walks closer and said, “I see you copy my castle road”
“Hah, please, my throne is way better than your puny throne”, he said pridefully.
Saruth gets up from his seat while he descends on the stairs towards the throne, he spread his hands to the side and said, “Welcome to my Kingdom that even calling it hell is an understatement”
Solomon chuckles, “You didn’t change at all”
“What brought you here?”, Saruth asks, Solomon visit is not something he expects.
Before Solomon answers, he looks at the demon that is still sitting on Saruth’s throne handle playfully.
Saruth notice this and said, “Alonya, leave us”
Hearing this, Alonya chuckles sweetly before she approaches them slowly.
Her steps make a clacking sound as she descends from the stairs, her hips swayed left and right while she glances at Solomon.
Solomon averts his gaze, he felt troubled upon seeing Alonya.
Alonya arrives beside Saruth before she creeps closer to Solomon, she poked Solomon’s chest with her long sharp fingernail seductively, “We meet again King Solomon”
“Stop it Alonya, we have important matters to discuss”, Solomon said while holding himself back.
Solomon knows exactly who Alonya is, she is the Archdemon of Lust also known as the Queen of Demon.
She’s the most sadistic and evil demon of them all, many Archdemons stay away from her because of her chaotic behavior that only follows Saruth command.
Alonya poked Solomon’s chest slowly and run it down as she whispers in his ears, “Why are you so careful around me? Are you afraid there will be a second time?”
Hearing this, Solomon gulped hardly.
He remembers the last time they met and he still wants to forget about it, since then he always activates his mental barrier.
Although Vampires are undead, they still have human-like traits just like Werewolves.
“Enough!”, Saruth said commandingly.
Alonya smirk seductively at Solomon before she waves and walk past him.
Her sweet chuckles reverberated to the surrounding until she left the place, her chuckles make Solomon’s skin crawl.
After Alonya left the place, Saruth said, “So, what is this important matter you want to discuss with me”
Solomon tidied himself, “I want to ask your ancestor a question”
Hearing this, Saruth widened his eyes and glance at Solomon disbelievingly, “What?! Even I don’t dare to do that and you’re asking me to wake one of my ancestors up?!”
Saruth himself didn’t have the guts to wake the ancestors if there’s no emergency, so hearing Solomon said what he said so casually angers him.
“Before you get mad, I want to ask Elder Tilrity to repay her debt to my ancestor”, Solomon said.
He expected Saruth’s reaction,
If someone asks him to wake one of his ancestors randomly then he will be angry too, so Saruth reaction is natural.
Saruth glances at Solomon, “Even if you have the permission of your ancestors who have a history with my ancestor, it is hard to temporarily awaken Elder Tilrith”
“We didn’t find the resources to do that, the world is not ready yet”, he continues.
Solomon smirks, he then waves his hand before the vampire who is lying flat on the ground because of the pressure takes out a stone from his pocket.
He struggled a bit before an ashy green stone lit up the place.
Looking at this, Saruth was shocked to his core before a smirk crept on his face, “You damn vampire, you keep this stone for yourself knowing that we needed it the most?”
“Well here I am giving it to you”, Solomon said casually.
Saruth walks to the vampire with heavy steps, his steps make the ground tremble.
He then takes the stone before he brings it up as he inspected it, “This will do”
“I hope your reason is good enough to not anger Elder Tilrith, I’ll trust you this time”, he said before he started walking to the back of his throne.
He then signals Solomon to follow him, there is a secret way behind Saruth’s huge throne that can’t be seen from the front.
Saruth gripped a skull embedded on the ground before he twists it,
The skulls around his throne are uncountable, they’re scattered, and many like ants.
The ground cracked revealing a secret passage before they went deeper underground, there are rows of stairs leading down and it didn’t have any light.
While walking, Solomon said, “You sure it’s okay to bring me here? this looks like a place where a Vampire like me shouldn’t know”
Saruth chuckles lightly, “Are you afraid that I will kill you here?”
“Please, you know I won’t die that easily”, Solomon said.
The stairs kept going deeper, it feels like they walk for twenty minutes but the stairs kept coming endlessly.
Breaking the silence, Saruth said, “All Supernatural are allies now, you don’t need to worry about a thing because all I want to do is to exterminate humans for what they did to demons”
Solomon nodded his head in understanding, he too is filled with hatred for humans.
After another ten minutes of walking down the stairs, they finally reach the end of it but it is pitch black.
Light can’t penetrate here leaving the place in darkness.
Saruth flicks his finger before a big fire appeared from his hands, it split into hundreds of little fireballs and scatters around illuminating the place.
What greets Solomon greatly shocks him.
There is a huge eight wings demon statue in front of him,
Just from a glance, Solomon can feel his eyes burning when he saw the eight wings demon statue.
He averted his gaze and realizes that there are hundreds of statues around them.
The statues vary in size from his size to a hulking size that makes him look tiny, they have different kinds of symbols on them that give out a terrifying glaze upon seeing them.
‘This place is literally a tomb of very powerful demons! many of them are on par with Elder Nolacula!’, Solomon thought.
He can tell that each statue here is all alive, they are hibernating just like his ancestors.
Saruth walks deeper into the place,
The road in this place is wide that can fit hundreds of people in one go, Solomon follows Saruth who seems like looking for something.
He then stopped in front of a statue, there is a purplish eye symbol on the statue’s chest.
“We’re here, this is Elder Tilrith”, he said calmly, he takes out the Abaddon Stone and puts it closer to the purplish eye symbol.
The Abaddon Stone reacted to the symbol, its energy got sucked by the symbol.
Saruth let go of the stone as it hovers in the air, “Remember, ask your questions and leave this place. Think if as a gracious act of kindness from me, for giving the stone”
Solomon nodded his head, he can tell Saruth is being cheeky.
Not long after, the ashy green luster from the Abaddon Stone got sucked by the purplish symbol before it died down.
Clang!
The stone fall after its energy disappears.
Crack!
Elder Tilrith statue cracked as purple energy cracked it open.
The crack first happened at her wings, it reveals gorgeous purplish wings that emit an immense Demonic Energy that is almost as dense as the Demonic Eye above Saruth’s throne.
Saruth can even feel he becomes more powerful just by standing beside Elder Tilrith.
The scales of her wings glow with a purple luster as it breaks her rocky body,
CRACK!!
The wings cracked open Elder Tilrith’s rocky body revealing a woman with violet hair, her beauty surpassed Alonya from before as her breath leaves a purple mist.
Saruth kneels in front of her followed by Solomon.
Although Elder Tilrith is not his ancestor, he still must show the courtesy of being a guest lest he angered Elder Tilrith.
“Emmhh….”, Elder Tilrith moaned as she stretches her body.
Saruth and Solomon didn’t dare to glance at her, even thinking about glancing at her didn’t cross their minds.
Her violet hair matches her violet eyes that are looking at both Saruth and Solomon.
She then said with her smooth voice, “Saruth… how did you awaken me?”
“Elder Tilrith, it’s a long story but Solomon from the vampire here wanted to ask you something”, Saruth said truthfully.
Hearing this, Elder Saruth’s eyes glow violently as Demonic Energy surges within her that make Solomon suffocated, “You awaken me because of that? How did you manage to break the seal?”
Saruth panicked under Elder Tilrith’s energy, “Trust me Elder, after you answer Solomon’s question then I will explain the situation to you”
“Elder Tilrith my deepest apologies for disturbing you, I’m here as the representatives of Elder Nolacula. He says that if you answer my question truthfully, you and he will be even”, Solomon follows Saruth hurriedly, he doesn’t idle around and angers Elder Tilrith.
The pressure vanishes instantly, “Nolacula? Emmhh, fine tell me your question”
After getting her permission, Solomon then asks while still bowing his head, “Elder Nolacula said you knew about the Forbidden Ritual that can turn humans into our kind”
Saruth on the side was shocked, ‘There’s such a ritual?’
Hearing this, Elder Tilrith laughs sweetly, “Nolacula, you sure know how to make use of my debt”
“But it is called forbidden for a reason, they will obliterate us if they know we’re using this ritual”, she continues with a hint of fear in her voice.
Solomon frowns, “They? Who are you talking about?”
Elder Tilrith glance at Solomon with her violet eyes, even Solomon can sense fear from her, “Of course, it’s the Executor”
Hearing this, Solomon was shocked.
Saruth was also shocked before he intervenes, “Elder, they’re gone now. It’s a new age, the age of Supernatural!”
‘This is the first time Elder Tilrith awaken so she doesn’t know about the human regression’, Solomon thought.
“What? That’s impossible, I don’t want to risk getting killed by them”, Elder Tilrith said, she still doesn’t understand the situation and believe Saruth’s words.
Saruth was at a loss, “Excuse me Elder, I will be back”
He turns into a blur and vanishes from the place, it doesn’t take long for him to come back down with something in his hand.
Splat!
Saruth put human corpses in front of Elder Tilrith, “Look, I killed a bunch of them”
Looking at this, Elder Tilrith stumbles back in fear, “Have you gone mad?! It’s over! They will annihilate us because of you!”
“No Elder, I already killed them for years and I’m still alive. The Supernatural allied with each other, we’re at war with them, and we already take half of the world”, Saruth said trying to convince Elder Tilrith.
Elder Tilrith walks back slowly, she looks at the corpse and frowns, “It’s true that these humans are so small and so weak”
After checking the corpses, Elder Tilrith suddenly got delighted.
“I never thought this day will come!!”, She laughs maniacally until tears came out, knowing humans have regressed makes her brimming with joy.
She’s tearing the human’s corpses one by one with her hand, she let out all the pent-up anger at them.
Solomon from the side said meekly, “Elder, about my question”
Elder Tilrith glance at Solomon, one can tell that her mood is way better than before, “Now it has come to this, I will tell you”
“The Ritual for my demon race is this”, Elder Tilrith points her finger at the ground.
Her fingers glow with purple demonic energy as it draws a circle filled with symbols, it is glowing with purple demonic energy.
It creates some kind of formation with a circle on its center, Elder Tilrith then waves her hands again.
Writings made of purple demonic energy appeared in thin air,
Looking at this, Solomon was mesmerized, “This…”
