The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 26: Opening

Bonus updated.

~

The sky was black tranquility married to the poetry of the stars.

It was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Night came as a reward of sorts, a restfulness above to calm the soul.

Shi was a high-ranking enforcer of the Enforcer department, in just 400 years he was able to become a full enforcer.

Alizejh was a totally different case, she was an outright prodigy but Shi was just a normal genius.

He was sitting inside a bar inside the Auction hall and was quietly sipping his brandy with sorrow.

He was still not able to find his targets, the Joker Group, which were supposed to have planned an attack.

Idiocuty, he was a stupid guy, instead of drinking and wasting his time he should have tried to find the group.

Though no one could blame him, he was an elf, and elves were known for their greed for alcohol.

Shi had surprisingly liked how the drinks of the humans tasted. Back in his university, he had to study a lot. So he didn't get to enjoy normal life things.

His tranquil gaze went upon the numerous bottles of alcohol in front of him. Insatiable greed was striking him. Such is the power of alcohol! It can instantly addict it's drinker, hooking him up to the endless pleasures of drinking until the person falls into depravity never to be able to climb again.

However, Shi was able to control his avarice and swore to himself that he won't go near alcohol again.

Elves are known to be heavy drinkers, it would be very hard for them to not drink a drink that is in front of them.

With their beautiful looks and indifferent gaze, they had one fatal weakness, Alchohol.

While he was drinking a very handsome man and a beautiful woman on his side came and sat next to him.

They simply took out a package from their coat and slid it to Shi.

He frowned a bit and turned his head to look at them but to his dismay, they had already left.

He stared at the package in front of him and had was frowning a lot.

"Did they give this to me by mistake?"

He shook his thoughts away and went forward to open the package up. The package was heavy, he couldn't help but wonder what was inside. He started to tear the brown paper on the package, then he saw a black color device inside.

He pulled it from the bag and stared at it confusedly. Slowly his confusion changed into shock and then ultimately in fear!

He threw the black device on the ground as soon as he could and turned around to run not giving a shit about the humans.

After all, they were just humans!

Crash!

People started to look at him with fear and started to run around at their best speed. He didn't know how people noticed it so quickly.

Until a second ago nobody was even giving a shit's attention to him.

'Is this what they call human instincts?'

The black device had wires attached to it, blue, yellow, green, and red! It had something like a stick of dynamite attached to it and a countdown timer.

The countdown timer which was at first at 30 was now on its last five seconds.

Everybody's heart froze, they realized their regrets, for some they thought about their kids or wives and some prayed to God.

The one thing common was that all of them could feel the essence of death. They could only wish for a miracle at that moment. The timer went 'tick-tock tick-tock'.

BOOM!

The device was nothing else but a bomb!

------------------------------------------------

~Five hours ago.

I entered the auction hall with Derek and instantly fell in love with the location.

The first thought that had come to mind upon arrival was that the host had really put in a lot of work into this.

Alizejh was not able to come with me due to a reason.

The reason being, I made the mistake of over pleasuring her.

I should have known her limits and that she wouldn't be able to handle my moon fingering techniques but I used it anyway.

I even used her as a living piano.

Honestly, I feel extremely guilty, she was even looking forward to coming to this event.

Anyway, I guess I will eat all the food I can for her, as to compensate for her share.

The Regent Auction House was breathtaking. It was rather misleading to even call it a house as it towered high above any of the other buildings nearby.

I've been to many national and historical monuments that were created by the most famous architects, but this was on a different level.

The host was no ordinary person for sure looking at how large it was. Even if it was the most famous auction throughout the country it was just too much!

The Auction House was a magnificent theatre with intricate designs all over. The main doors were over 4 meters in height and were made from petrified wood with carved designs on them.

Compared to the naturalistic and elegant designs that I saw in the Fairy Realm, this was more complicated and grand.

It was in the shape of a half-cylinder with detailed stone sculptures of different weapons as supports.

It was charismatic and showing off the royal design on it.

But if a knowledgeable Architect would try to look at it carefully then they would realize that it was fearfully sinister.

We arrived early, so only the workers and guards were present, preparing for the event. The inside was equally, if not more stunning.

The front door opened to a path that stretched out to a stage on the other end.

To our left and right, there were rows of escalating seats made from a rather luxurious burgundy leather that could fit over ten thousand people comfortably.

Upon looking up, I noticed that there were incased booths at the very top of the rows of seats and even higher, there was a single room attached to the ceiling and back wall with glass surrounding it, giving a clear view of the stage.

It was easy to guess that those booths, as well as the single room, was for the VIP.

Turned out, that the uppermost VIP room on the ceiling was the room we'd be seated in.

"What are you doing here?" A girl asked gritting her teeth towards Derek. I recognized her immediately, she was his fiance who had sex with the previous me.

Derek just ignored her and looked at me, I smiled and winked at the annoying girl so that she would shut up.

Such sad times, I have to use my looks to shut people up. *Sighs

Her face instantly went red, the people nearby looked at her with confusion but when they saw me they seemed to realize something and threw disdainful gazes at me.

Derek had already told me that she was a bitch who craved for only Derek's money, he had even thanked me for revealing her true colors when I fucked her.

I really didn't know if I should be proud of the previous me or not.

His fiance was trying her very best to impress and flirt with me, I already had a bad impression of her so I simply ignored her trying to keep my annoyance in check.

Sometimes I feel bored of all this attention, it is actually very annoying. I won't lie, I am a narcissist but I really do hate it when I gain unnecessary attention.

It is not like I enjoy the hateful gazes.

Well, that is a very big lie.

Hell yes!! I enjoy it!

A staff member who looked high ranking led us to the room, making us comfortable inside the carefully designed and furnished area that was meant for only the most distinguished and wealthy guests.

There was a wine rack and a few reclining seats and tables with closer seats by the window. I made myself comfortable on a seat closest to the window.

The auction house was soon a panorama of cheerful and excited noise, as more and more people, who were no doubt people of some sort of influence, began filling the lower seats.

Some groups seemed more distinguished than the rest who were personally escorted by the hosts to their booths.

No doubt, they were some of the more affluent noble people if compared to a kingdom.

Growing bored of the hordes of people still settling down, I shifted my attention towards Derek and saw him staring at the crowd below him, he slowly smirked when he noticed my gaze.

I couldn't help but smile, this is just the beginning. Since he can no longer be a weakling.

Confidence is the first thing he needs and he also needs to control it so that it doesn't let it affect his decisions.

As my disciple, it would be a disgrace towards me if he was still the meek fat boy.

Time passed by rather slowly as the Clan Elders of Derek's family entered.

The clan and the family leaders looked like very ordinary humans who had somewhat good control on magic that is all I could evaluate.

What surprised me were the people who came in along with Derek's clansmen.

The first to come in behind the family leader was an elderly man with long, deep-red hair that was aged with streaks of grey.

His back was ramrod straight with broad shoulders that took off years in his appearance.

The man's eyes were stern with harsh, sword-shaped eyebrows, giving him an undeniably eye-catching presence.

He was wearing a red robe lined with white fur around the collar and had a cane that shined brighter than any silver I had previously seen.

Trailing closely behind him was a lady that looked a few years older than my sister, Alizejh.

While Alizejh had a lovely, sweet, friendly ambiance, this lady's facial features reminded me of an ice sculpture; refined, elegant, noble, and of no flaws, but also cold and devoid of emotion.

What I didn't know was that Alizejh behaved friendly to only me and towards everyone else she was extremely cold and indifferent.

She was wearing a shimmering silvery-black dress that complimented her dark black hair that draped over her shoulders like a well-kept tapestry.

The woman that seemed to be in her early 20's, surveyed the room carefully before locking eyes with me and frowning deeply.

I was instantly shocked! I even started laughing like a madman inside.

They could try to hide their body features but in front of me, they could never!

They were devils for sure! No doubt about that!

Most people think that demons and devils are the same but the fact is that they are not.

Devils are spiritual beings who have immortal souls so they never die.

Most of the time devils make contracts with other species and eat their souls to maintain their physical body.

Their soul never rots being immortal but their body eventually becomes old.

They can even make incarnation bodies or possess someone's body if they have enough soul power which comes by eating souls.

Souls can't be eaten unless a contract is formed with the universe as a witness. That way no devil can steal a soul.

If a devil steals a soul then they will trigger divine retribution which will cripple their immortal soul and leave permanent damage on it.

Heavenly Tribulation takes place when someone tries to surpass the constraints of the Heavenly Law, the Heavenly Law would summon heavenly tribulation against that existence to exterminate it.

Divine retribution is the supernatural punishment of a person, a group of people, or everyone by the universe in response to some action.

What shocked me the most was the fact that Devils were in the lower world, they were usually found in the Celestial or Godly Realm.

"I didn't know we would be in here with guests with the clan Leaders," The red-haired devil said, neither harshly nor kindly.

"I apologize, Esteemed Lord, I assumed you wouldn't mind having a few people with us. These are our children." A clan leader said as he scoffed while waving in our direction.

Along with Derek and me, there were also the kids of the Clan leaders, including Derek's fiance.

He clearly didn't respect the two devils.

After regarding us for a moment, the devil's lips curled up into a smile and said with a cold expression.

"If they are your children, then they are mine as well."

There was pin-drop silence in the room. The atmosphere became awkward and the lady face palmed herself.

Did I hear this right? His children as well?! Does he really know how to exchange pleasantries?

Isn't he a devil???

Shouldn't he have charisma?

"It's a pleasure to meet you. At least we'll have some company besides these guards," The lady giggled and said breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Haha you are right....that was a really nice joke Mr.Messenger Lord said, haha." One of the clan leaders laughed aloud.

The red-haired devil felt wronged when he heard his speaking skills to be bad and treated as a joke.

He still didn't show any change in expression.

I raised an eyebrow in surprise at the sharp contrast in the woman's personality to her appearance.

She seemed much more welcoming, despite her intimidating looks than the male guy. She had an aura of miasma around her and my senses shivered a bit.

So sinister! Just how many people has she killed?!

Not just that I can clearly say that the person in front of me was just a clone of her real body!

If just her clone has such miasma then how much miasma would be upon her real body!

I am sure that she has already killed more than a zillion souls!! She also must have pseudo divinity!

Is she from the Celestial Realm??!

Or is she already a God and from the Godly Realm?

I noticed that the woman kept on gazing at me from time to time. Instantly feeling creeped out I crept into a corner and hid myself.

Then I noticed that the clan leaders and the two devils sat in the furthest corner of the VIP room and were chatting in small whispers.

I instantly tried to hear what they were saying with my spiritual senses.

~

"Esteemed Lord, why didn't Lord Viole come?"

The Purple Family leader who was laughing a moment ago asked with a grim expression and a questioning gaze.

The red-haired man flinched when he heard his master's name being called by a mere human and anger quelled in his heart. Instantly he felt a hand gripping his hand and calmed down.

[Calm down! You Idiot!]

He heard the beautiful lady's voice in his head telepathically and immediately calmed down.

[ They called his highness by name!]

[ So what?! Even I call him by name! ] She snorted loudly as if calling him by name was nothing.

Because they were talking telepathically the family leaders noticed her snort and had discomfort on their faces and looked at her with a doubtful gaze.

The lady who had a veil on her face simply bowed in a noble ladylike manner, clutching her dress and doing pushing up on the ground.

She showed this as a peace sign and instantly their worries dissipated.

'Surely they won't cheat us. Devils are known for their trustful contracts.'

While such thoughts were going in their mind, the lady was threatening the red-haired man telepathically.

[You! Because of you, I got embarrassed in front of these ugly humans!]

The woman had a cross expression on her face as she looked at the red-haired man.

[ Please forgive me Lady Ishtar...I didn't mean to do that.] The red-haired man pleaded.

When the Shadow family leaders were not looking, immediately Ishtar crept towards Griles and whispered in his ears.

"If I was allowed to kill humans and if this slave contract wasn't on me then you would have been dead by now along with everyone present here!" She threatened.

His face eventually went pale and tears almost came out of them as he looked at Ishtar with a pleading gaze.

Ishtar giggled when she saw his almost fainting expression while releasing a faint killing aura.

Griles felt a shiver on his spine and got goosebumps on his skin.

He could clearly feel the essence of death on himself.

'If this aura was directed fully towards me I would choke and die for sure!'

He looked at Ishtar with a complicated gaze and saw that she was looking at someone.

He instantly thought of what his highness Viole had said before about Ishtar and had now fully confirmed that he was gonna die pretty soon because of this woman which made his mission practically a suicide mission.

'Griles, Never! Never! Never offend her! Even if she is a clone who is under my command as a slave, she is till the clone of the strongest being in the Celestial Realm!'

This is what his master had told him before.

'I wonder what would happen if her real body knew what her clone was going through in the lower world! Maybe she would come here and destroy the entire lower world and maybe even the Celestial Realm which she indirectly rules upon!'

He once again got a shiver as he looked away and gazed nervously at the humans.

While the man was having threatening thoughts, the woman was surveying the entire room.

'Ugly human...

Smelly human...

Slutty human...

Pretty boy.....huma...huh?!

Is that a human?!'

She immediately looked at Rael with a delicate expression. It was like as if she was looking at a very precious toy of hers.

She slowly started to inspect him and noticed that he had long silver hair that was not tied up and was unruly.

He had long eyelashes and icy jade violet eyes. She looked inside his eyes and felt a bit lost.

They were as mesmerizing and deep as an ocean!

She gave a slight smile that could capture the heart of every celestial and noticed that he had pointed elf like ears which he was not trying to hide.

He was clearly not human so what was he doing in a room full of humans? Such thoughts were wandering in her head.

She looked at him with her fingers on her lips as an amused smile crept onto her face.

Rael was already feeling her gaze on him but now he felt even more uncomfortable so he slid into the corner and sat glancing at the crowd below.

'The Lower world is sure very interesting.'

Ishtar smiled from inside her veil.
