THE LIAR FACE DEMON (Legendary Wizard Saint)
J. TNANGA
Chapter 31: The storm before the wave….
“Did the Eagle Squad go already?” asked the Demon Emperor, back in his palace, sitting in this tiny chair next to his Emperor seat.
“Yes, your majesty, they left, three hours after Zonisk gave them the mission yesterday late evening, they should already be in the Human Kingdom and investigating by now” said a guard that was trying hard not to laugh at the pink little chair the Demon Emperor was force to sit on, next to his rightful seat…. It was too much of a funny sight that the guard smirked a little….
“What about the chicken? Did he go as well?” asked the Demon Emperor.
“Yes, Your Majesty, he also went along (unwillingly of course…..)” explained the guard, who after failing to control his smile and laughter at the fact that the Demon Emperor was sitting in this tiny little chair right next to his rightful seat multiple times, the guard’s laughter was released for all to hear.
“WHAT’S SO FUNNY, HUH?” asked the Demon Emperor in complete anger. “HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A GROWN-A** MAN SIT IN A SUPER-GIRLY-PINKISH CHAIR FOR HIS DAUGHTER BEFORE?”
“No, sir…. I mean yes, sir, I mean, yes your Majesty” said the guard as he stumbles for words and was shocked at the Emperor’s loud voice.
The guard later left in a hurry to not laugh anymore, and of course, a series of bad rumors began to spread around about the Demon Emperor later that day….
The Demon Emperor turned his face in front of the throne seat, looked at the person that was sitting there magnificently as if she was made to sit there and rule, as if that was her birth-right, with her chest held high, and her proud eyes, and beautiful pale skin.
“Can I please sit back in my seat now?” asked the Demon Emperor in his most child-like begging voice ever, as he removes his helmet and show his cute begging big cat eyes that would make anyone take pity on him.
“NO” was the reply that was given automatically to the Demon Emperor from the most unexpected person. The Demon Emperor’s wife, that was sitting on the throne seat.
She was elegantly dressed, with a pale red dress, pink heels, and her hair perfectly styled and falls on her shoulder. She was someone that cared for her appearance, unlike her husband.
“Why? Why are you siding with Carlardantis on this?” asked the Demon Emperor.
“Because you made my daughter cried, so, this is your punishment for what you did to her” explained the Demon Emperor’s wife.
“Can I just sit in my chair for just a moment?” asked the Demon Emperor, again, making his voice sound sweet and cute like a child, which would have worked for the normal person….. just not his wife that gotten used to it.
“It doesn’t work on me anymore, husband dear….” Said the Demon Emperor’s wife.
“But Chervyle, don’t be like that…. This is too embarrassing….” Explains the Demon Emperor.
“But Landerdale, don’t be like that…. You embarrassed me too much….” Explained Chervyle with the same tone Landerdale (the Demon Emperor) just used on her.
“Man!! So many people just call me, Demon Emperor this, Demon Emperor that, Your Majesty this, your Majesty that, Sir, Sire, and all such of other names, but it is good to be called by my name once in a while….”
The two of them went back to being lovey-dovey after 15 minutes, and started making out right there in the throne room (of course they asked the guards to take a little break…)
3 hours later:
“Well, sorry to bother you two lovebirds, but we have a serious issue” said Kiarria.
“You are making the issue seem less important when you use that tone, you have to press your tone much more, Kiarria” said Zonisk who was with Kiarria.
They have both come to the throne room together, to discuss a serious issue that have risen….
“What? What is it?” asked both the Demon Emperor and his wife, as they both simultaneously use magic for their clothes to reappeared on them.
“The Eagle triple A-rank squad have all been captured except for the demonic chicken who is running wild in who-knows-where for all anyone knows or care” said Zonisk, trying to make it rhyme even in such a situation.
“To make matters worse, the Eagle squad lost in a fight, it wasn’t an elaborate trap set by the Human Kingdom, it was a fight, and they lost, your Majesty” explained Kiarria.
“Surely you jest” said Chervyle. “How can the Eagles lose? They are triple A-rank… Only the Supreme commander of the Human Army, and the two lieutenants who is always by his side, as well as the Human King’s two royal soldiers are of A-rank power level"
Chervyle just could not believe what was going on, she couldn't see how something like this could have happened in one fell swoop.
"Besides that, they aren’t anyone more powerful than them…..only a hero could be stronger than them, but it takes time for a hero to be born, and Heroes aren’t born every decade, we had one a while back that we destroy…. So it shouldn’t be so soon….” said Chervyle, losing confidence as she continues to talk.
“We have received news from the Eagle squad before they got captured….. The two lieutenants by the Supreme Commander of the Human Army’s side are both dead" Stated Zonisk. "One of the two royal guards of the King was killed"
Kiarria decided to continue from there.
"The other, seemed to have gone insane and tried to kill the Human King, but got caught and ended up getting executed by the Supreme Commander, who was his best friend. And that now, the Supreme Commander got demoted to Vice-Supreme Commander” stated Kiarria.
“What? Just what is going on? Since when did all that happened? How did we not know about any of this?” asked both the Demon Emperor and his wife.
“The general populace of the Human Kingdom are not aware of what’s going on….. they don’t even know their King almost died and had undergone surgery….." Replied Kiarria.
"Everything is being treated top secret, not even the influential nobles know….. but there have been a weird talk though….. words that have been spreading around in the general populace….” Said Zonisk. “The new Supreme Commander of the Human Kingdom is a teenager…”
“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? This must be a joke, a joke, it got to be….” Explains the Demon Emperor. “There is no way anything like that can happen? Right? Right?”
The Demon Emperor was scared. He was very scared. He felt as if there was some kind of dark conspiracy that was going on....
“But what about Demon and that new Supreme Commander…. Did we learn anything about them?” asked Chervyle, since the Demon Emperor got stuck in his own head, as he tries to process this huge information he just received, that he was frozen in place in thought.
“No, there are no information about Demon…. Where he was born? Where he was raised? What school did he attended and such, all remained a mystery" replied Zonisk.
Kiarria took a gulped and continued her speech.....
"The same. No information was discovered about the new Supreme Commander, except that he’s supposedly a teenager of about Demon’s age….. 14 years old and that he looks like an angel, as if he is the radiance of the sun, always bright and pure” Stated Kiarria..
“What does that mean?” asked the Demon Emperor, as he have finally regained his composure.
“We are not sure, but he is supposed to look like an angel, a very handsome looking teenager capable of making everyone around him feel blessed by his presence…." Said Kiarria. "Of course this is all speculation and rumors mixed in, no one had actually seen this teenager, at least not the general populace……”
“So, let me get this straight…… Two random teenagers with outstandingly huge power just came out of nowhere” said the Demon Emperor as more like an after-thought than a question but received an immediate answer anyway. “And there is a wild chicken on the loose?”
“That truly fit the description of what’s going on, your Majesty” replied both Zonisk and Kiarria. “What do you want us to do?”
Demon woke up from his bed, feeling lonely. He had grown used to having both Roshturn and Marytus at his side, now he had none. He was back at squared one, and a dark feeling awoke inside Demon’s mind, giving him goosebumps.
“I better get dress quickly…. Or I’ll be late in meeting Liokart and Faylatia” Thought Demon trying to ignore this dark feeling he’s having in his gut. “this dark feeling is probably nothing”
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Demon finished getting ready, and went to the meeting place. Liokart was already there waiting.
“Hey” said Demon casually.
“Hey, what’s up?” asked Liokart.
“Hmm, nothing much”
“Faylatia sure is taking her time, isn’t she?” asked Liokart.
“Well, knowing Faylatia, she got to take care of those small cute breast of hers, if y’ know what I mean” said Demon, joking around.
“Um, I am not sure” replied Liokart, a bit uncomfortable.
“Oh come on, don’t tell me you didn’t think about that at all” said Demon.
“Um, the thing is, I really wasn’t paying attention to that”
“For real?” asked Demon.
“For real” answered Liokart.
“I have so much to teach you then” replied Demon.
“No, I think it’s fine…. I don’t think I need help with those kind of stuff”
“Do you have a high amount of experience then?” questioned Demon vigorously.
“No, I mean, I had some girlfriends before, and we did do it together, but no, I wouldn’t consider myself as someone with huge amount of experience….”
“Then I can teach you, I can tell you exactly what to do and show you the ropes”
“This is making me really uncomfortable, Demon”
“No, no, don’t worry about that….. let’s use Faylatia as an example, with girls like her, you got to be direct and smooth at the same time, showing her your smooth side when she least expects it, and your direct side when she least expects it and you sh---”
“Demon, I don’t think you should c----“
“Liokart, Liokart, let a master finished his lecture, my good friend, don’t try to change the topic right when it’s getting to its good part”
“No, it just that F-“
“Liokart, if you don’t know those skills, your life will get really sad, y’ know”
Demon then turned around and realized Faylatia was right behind him. Before he could do anything, Faylatia gave him one powerful punch that gave Demon a bump, but right when Faylatia finished giving Demon that punch, Demon rushed forward to Faylatia and groped her.
It infuriated Faylatia even more!!
A passerby looking at Faylatia would notice the same tenacity that a tiger would have when someone else stole its prey, no, not even, a passerby looking at Faylatia would noticed the same tenacity that a tiger that haven’t eaten in a while would have when he finally finds a prey….. and it was not a pretty sight….. Faylatia had this dangerous aura going on….
“So my bad feeling was true….” Thought Demon. “I NEED TO GROPE HER MORE!!”
Faylatia released a relentless amount of attacks at Demon, from spells to punches and kicks back and forth, Demon dodged, blocked, and got punched square in the face multiple times by Faylatia. But he never gave up his mission, he would do it once more….. and in the end, he accomplished it.
He only had to sacrificed a couple of broken bones, dislocated arms, two black eyes, and multiple bumps throughout his face…..
After Faylatia calmed herself down (or whatever definition of calm down you want to use since Faylatia look like she can kill Demon if Demon so much as breathe right now), Demon healed himself, and the trio went on their ingredient search hunt.
They decided to make a soup with plenty of carrots and other nutritional value vegetables (as well as adding some small amount of meat). Only Liokart in the group had some small idea of how to ‘cook’ in the group.
Demon was clueless, and Faylatia, well, Faylatia never had to cook before, so, she never needed to learn it…. (That kind of infuriated Liokart a little, since his sister force him to learn it, calling it basic survival skill)
After searching throughout the market for some good quality ingredients for what feels like two hours but was actually 45 minutes, they decided to stop by a tea shop….
While having a conversation, it is revealed that Faylatia is from a pure-blooded demonic race, the great and mighty Hero-extermination clan. They are a clan of demon warriors that the Demon Emperor usually rely on to defeat the Hero (the hero from the Human Kingdom).
While the Hero usually focuses on light-style magic and sword/arrow/spear mastery, Faylatia’s clan, the Darths, focuses on the dark-style magic which naturally involve destruction magic, basic hand to hand combat, and dagger/blaster/and spear mastery.
The Darths are the complete opposite of the heroes, except with their small similarity, they tend to also use spears. Heroes prefer long sword, while the Darths prefer the short dagger.
The shorter the better (since they only need to get really close to their opponent to use it), and blaster is this long distance summoning that works like the heroes use arrow, except it’s magic-based.
Since the Darths have killed Heroes so many times, they have become filthy rich. With each new high-spec equipment that a new Hero possess, that the Darths kill, they sell it for twice the amount the Hero bought it for, giving the Darths, a small fortune for very little work.
With each loot they take, they get richer and richer, that the Darths became similar to a company than a clan. They would incorporate other clans into their group and they would get bigger and bigger.
The Darths have become so rich, they have tons of servants/maids working for them, that they never have to worry about food and the like, they never need to bother learning how to make food, food is always made for them….
Hence, it is with that quick history lesson that Demon learned something of great importance, something that caused his eyes to almost come out of its socket, something that made him to look at Faylatia completely different than before, something that made Demon move away from Faylatia….. something that….
“Faylatia……” said Demon with complete seriousness in his tone. “Your clan hunts Heroes”
“Yes, we do that for a living” replied Faylatia in a matter of fact, as she drinks another cup of tea.
“Your clan have hunted Heroes for many generations, right?” asked Demon, again with the serious tone.
“Yes, that is correct” replied Faylatia as she takes another sip of tea.
“I am sorry Faylatia…… But….. But I am going to have to….” Started Demon as he approaches Faylatia in complete seriousness.
“PLEASE LET ME LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE, FREE FOOD PLEASE!! PLUS MAIDS!!! AND A PRIVATE ROOM FOR PRIVATE ACTIVITIES” yelled Demon in a bowing posture.
“NO, go away creep, there is no way I am letting someone like you in my clan, BIG CAPITAL NO” said Faylatia as she places her cup of tea on the table and directly look at Demon.
“But why? I am not a creep, I have good motives, I am just going to let the maids have some fun, I mean, let them relax a bit….” Said Demon.
“Yeah, creep” replied Faylatia as she turns around to face Liokart.
“How’s your sister doing?” asked Faylatia, completely ignoring Demon, and acting like she was never in the middle of conversation with.
“She’s doing great” answered Liokart.
“Don’t ignore me!!” yelled Demon.
The rest of the day continue in such a matter (Demon either getting ignored or getting cut off). At the end of the day, they managed to buy all the ingredients they need to make the soup, and they bought plenty of extra ingredients, since they knew what was going to happen the next day.
They only needed one bagful of ingredients, but they bought 15 bags of ingredients, Demon made sure that they did and convinced them by complaining about ‘what if situations’ until they had no choice but to do it if they wanted him to stop…..
(What if situations is when you come up with a situation that could happen, for example in Demon’s case, “What is those guys are too fast and destroy our food before we can even get to cooking it?”)
They only learned later that if Demon hadn’t been acting so childishly that day and hadn’t been complaining about every little thing (Mostly because he wanted to be annoying enough that Faylatia would let him enter her clan……), none of them would have survived the First Food War (also known as Food War I) in the history of the demon continent…
