Chapter 227: [BONUS] Azigot Realm!
Azigot was a realm of knowledge. It was a wide realm of constant battles, and whoever was there took the path of a scholar to reach the peak. Battles between clans and wars were the norm.
In Yapa's days, he managed to walk over every other clan and, in the end, had his sect as the number one in the world. He followed the path of intelligence to its peak, and through making use of the knowledge he found in his years of planning, it was but an easy feat to do what he did.
Unfortunately, such a thing only enraged those who had ascended before him, thus, he was banished before he even became a lesser celestial and was forced to take on the path of a devourer.
Now, he came back once more.
Now, he was stronger than ever.
With Draco as his lord and his being a summon, he could stand toe to toe against the high celestial of his realm and even go as far as killing him if he was given enough time.
Indeed, Yapa was going towards his realm, fully planning on taking his well deserved revenge.
"Yapa." Draco called.
"What is it, my lord?" Yapa, who had yet to come back to his goody yapping sessions, looked at Draco with his glinting golden eyes full of hatred and sadness.
"I see you're eager to fight." Draco smiled.
"Ah… I guess you can say that." He scratched his head.
"Well, it's unfortunate." Draco looked back a distance away from where they were, his eyes showing him something others could not see.
"What is, my lord?" Yapa, confused at why Draco was saying such words, looked at the entrance to his realm that Draco was looking at.
"You won't be able to." Draco added.
"And why is that?"
"Because I will." Draco said while raising his hand towards the entrance.
"Aether." He called.
*Crackle* *Crackle* *Tzing*
From Draco's hands, purple energy like thunder crackled and, in a split second, launched itself towards the entrance to the realm.
The little sparkle disappeared when it entered the realm and Draco just stood there.
Yapa stood by the side, looking at Draco and then at the entrance to the realm, not knowing if he should be sad that he wouldn't have a chance to fulfill his revenge, or sad for the fate that awaited his motherland.
"Fear not, Yapa." Draco spoke, his eyes watching as, in the middle of space, slight purple cracks started appearing and enlarging like broken glass.
*Crack* *Crack*
"It will be done before you know it." And right when he said those words, The little cracks which were spreading all around, opened up to unravel a scenery of utmost wonder.
There were large lands that went on for eternity hidden beneath clouds, and if one could look far in front of them, they would be able to see a tower that pierced through these same clouds and stood proudly in the sky.
"Let us get this done with." Draco walked forward, and the second he put his leg on the realm…
*Uhhh*
The clouds moved faster, the ground trembled, the tower shivered, and a loud sound of someone in pain reverberated throughout the realm.
"It's…" Utter horror appeared on Yapa's face as something connected to the deepest core of his being was expressing its agony.
"It's crying."
*Uhhhhh*
The tempered heart of someone who had caused the destruction of thousands of worlds in his million years of life could not take on the scene of his own realm, screaming for help.
A tear fell down the monkey's eyes as he couldn't take a step forward and just stood there, hoping that this wouldn't take long to be done.
"Fear not, Yapa." Draco's words echoed out again.
"It will be done… before you know it." Repeating the same words he said once again, Draco fully entered the realm and the gate that was formed from aether closed behind him, leaving Yapa, who was feeling guilty at bringing doom to his own realm.
"Was it the right choice? Have I done the right thing?" he asked himself.
"It wasn't my own realm that banished me, it was the high celestial… So am I in the right? Or am in the wrong?" He looked up again at the place… where his own realm should be.
"What would worrying about it now do…" He thought again, his eyes returning to normal.
"There's no going back…"
Within the endless expanse of space, a lone figure of a monkey stood floating close to the hidden entrance of his realm.
The air around him spoke of his sorrow and regret. But his feelings… could not change the fate of his own realm, for a demon unlike any other was in its midst.
*Uhhhhhhhh* *Fwshhhhh* *Fwshhhhh*
To the citizens, the powerhouses, and the celestials of Azigot… It was unknown how or when it started.
Clouds completely covered the realm and became dark for all to see. The water turned violent and the seas uncrossable.
The endless plains of greenery had cracks all around and quakes threatened to plunge the world into hell beneath.
The cause of all of this… A demon on a mission.
"Chi, you may come out." Calling out to two different phenomena at once, Draco watched as their figures appeared to his right and left, waiting for further instructions.
He was indeed on a mission. But what kind of mission was it?
A demon's mission could be to kill, it could be to destroy, to cause mayhem, to scheme, to betray.
But in Draco's case...
"Let's have some fun, shall we?" A villainous smile appeared on his face as his abyssal eyes fell upon the multiple figures speeding towards him from the tower far away.
"Who are you, Intruder?" The high celestial shouted out his question the second he appeared.
"Speak!" Seeing as the intruder did not reply, the high celestial shouted once more.
"Why should I tell a dead man who I am?" Draco replied, to his right, aether that has been waiting for a chance to shine, was nowhere to be seen.
"I made a promise to my subordinate, you see." Draco spoke, his eyes closed for a second.
"I cannot take too long." When he opened his eyes… What remained in front of him was but a clear sky.
The tall construct of the tower that was in front of him… Was no longer as glorious as it once was.
