Chapter 200 The Presence Of Rank Six Great Demon.
These arrows were a lot, and they rained down like they had eyes of their own.
Even though at least a hundred of them rained down, not one of them fell on anyone else except it’s intended target.
Of course this did not prevent anyone from taking cover.
Aside Lady Vinegar, the Arrows fell on her brothers.
For her birthday celebration, all of them had made attendance regards of the enmity they had for one another.
Since the Competition for who would take their father’s place started, they had been many schemes that have resulted in many deaths.
They had killed each other ceaselessly.
However, as their birth were in pairs, they were still a lot of them left.
These long bright Red arrows skewered them like meat at a campfire.
“Duncan!” Danny instinctively pushed Duncan behind him, taking the arrows that were headed for his brother.
“NO!” a pained Duncan screamed but it was too late.
The arrows meant for taking both their lives penetrated Danny’s body.
These arrows had been extremely fast, and seemed to be made out of pure light.
It was just one volley of arrows and it was over.
However, the destruction was evident.
The crowd of demons in the audience clamored loudly and many even attempted to leave the place.
The Birthday celebration was obviously over, but beyond that, someone was actually having a fight with the Governor’s family.
That could not be good.
Duncan held his twin brother in his hands.
Both of them were Deep level demons of the sixth rank. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
A little more and they would have been able to merge like Clawed and become one, entering the Great Demon ranks.
However, Fate had been too cruel to them.
Duncan held his brother’s hand in his own.
Tears ran down the corner of his eyes.
These two were not just twins, they were connected by blood and soul.
Even as Duncan held Danny’s hand in his, he could currently feel the pain that Danny was suffering right from his soul.
He could feel the life leak out his body.
Danny held on to Duncan’s hands tight.
“Duncan, I… I…. don’t want to die.” Those words escaped his mouth as he coughed out blood at intervals.
“I don’t…I don’t want to…” Danny’s grip bacame tighter around his brother’s hand.
Those were the last words he said before his hands suddenly shriveled.
This was the same thing for the rest of his body.
It became like a thousand year old mummy that had been preserved well.
It was at this point that Duncan looked at the arrows and a thought popped in his head.
“It can’t be.”
He tried to touch one if the arrows, but hand suddenly grabbed his.
“Don’t touch those, they are Soul Draining Arrows!”
Duncan turned to the source of the warning.
It was surprisingly from Clawed.
They was also an arrow in his body but the arrow was in one leg.
He had defended against the attack with a wide bronze shield in hand.
The moment Duncan heard it was a Soul Draining Arrow, a particular thought bloomed in his head.
“It can’t be. Is he…!?”
“Yes,” Clawed replied, “and we need to get the fuck out of here now!”
There was still dust everywhere from the attacks and it made for a perfect cover to maneuver.
Duncan was not a child, and in his life time, he had both seen and caused many deaths.
Although this one was different, it did not mean that he was going to lose his common sense over it.
He grabbed Danny’s head warmer from his head, and followed after Clawed.
For what had arrived, their enmity with one another was nothing.
The big broad wings in the sky flapped once and the dust o the ground dispersed.
Many demons had taken cover. This included the Arena masters.
Many of them bringing out defensive weapons or artefacts that could protect their lives.
However, they were not the aim of this assault.
The only two left standing, was Lady Vinegar and her butler Basket face.
The big broad wings flapped a bit and a figure landed heavily on the podium, the earth beneath his feet breaking like cracks on glass, just at his descent.
The audience still clamored and many rushed for the exits and some others that had wings attempted to fly away.
“Silence.”
That word was not loud, but when it was spoken, every living thing in the Arena heard it so clear like they were standing close to him.
With that word, came a power and authority that could not be refused.
It was not a request or an order.
It was a Statement.
And that was all it took for the Demons to stop their clamor.
If a needle had fallen on the ground at this point, the echoes of it’s fall would definitely be heard at the opposite end of the Arena.
Silence so quiet that the light breeze could be heard.
No one dared. None at all dared move even an inch.
At these moment, these demons begged their feets not to so much as twitch against the ground.
Some even tried very hard to slow down their heart beats, and some others hated the flow of blood in their veins for fear that it was too noisy.
After all, the presence that had currently filled the Arena was not a normal one.
This was the strong, unquestionably power of a Rank Six Great Demon on the verge of stepping into the Greater Demon realm.
Lady Vinegar smiled as she stepped forward.
Surprisingly, she could move, and aside her, the Butler behind also had a smile on his face.
She stopped in front of the individual with big broad wings and went down on her knees.
“You were finally able to make it to my birthday, father.”
Those words were like lightning strikes in the minds of all.
After all, they were many speculated rumors about this man.
However, aside from some very important matter, he had never shown his face in public.
Most Demons had never even seen him before.
All that they knew was that the peace of the city was maintained by the presence of this man.
Yes, this was…
