CHAPTER 600
CHAPTER 600
The fall of the Corrupted God was not an event heralded with fanfare or the clamor of celebrations. It was a silent occurrence, almost unnoticed, when Lugia, Arion, Zaros, and Elidyr achieved what was once deemed impossible: eradicating the last remnants of a malevolent influence that had poisoned the heart of the Demon Kingdom for generations.
Without the kingdom's inhabitants realizing it, the darkness that had instigated war and discord dissipated, leaving a silent void in its place. Although peace did not arrive immediately, something in the air shifted, like a barely perceptible whisper caressing the souls of those who had only known the language of war.
Freed from the malevolent influence of the fallen god, demons, for the first time in centuries, began to think more clearly, no longer driven by whispers inciting violence.
Still, they were unaware of the cause behind this change and did not question it much. They did not know that their thoughts were no longer poisoned; they simply started to perceive a reality where conflict was not the only solution.
The Demon Kingdom had been divided into multiple factions for centuries, each with its own interests and thirst for power. The most powerful territories like Drakarion, home of the Storm Lords clan, and Nyrath, ruled by the enigmatic Shadowmirrors, had been epicenters of constant clashes.
However, in the months following the confrontation in the swamp where the fragments of the fallen god resided, hostilities inexplicably began to subside. Initially, no one noticed. Demon generals and warlords, accustomed to incessant violence, found themselves strangely hesitant to send their armies into battle.
Instead of acting with the blind fury that had once characterized them, they took a moment to consider their actions. Decisions that had previously seemed obvious, like attacking a border outpost or inciting a rebellion, now required a deliberation that had never been necessary before.
In Drakarion, the Storm Lord, Ragnarok, famous for his explosive temper, surprised himself by ordering a temporary truce with his rivals in Nyrath. What began as a pause to reorganize his forces extended for weeks, and his advisors began to suggest that perhaps it was time to negotiate with the Shadowmirrors instead of facing them on the battlefield.
The most influential territories sensed that something had changed, even if they couldn't pinpoint exactly what. For the first time in centuries, the demon leaders of the most powerful cities received invitations for a meeting in Sargoth, the floating citadel that stood as a symbol of power and neutrality in the midst of the devastated kingdom.
The Council of the Eternal Flame, an ancient assembly that had fallen into disuse, was reconvened. The main hall of Sargoth is filled with the imposing figures of the most powerful demons in the land.
There were suspicious glances, but also a silent yearning to find a different solution to the endless cycle of war. Azazel, the Archon of the Dark Flames, was the first to speak. A feared and respected figure, his deep voice echoed throughout the hall.
"We are gathered here not out of a desire for power, but because our armies are weary, our lands exhausted, and our children…" he paused,
His wives and guardians listened to the pact they had made and were equally surprised to learn how Seraphine had become one of Andrew's apostles.
Despite being an experienced and strong woman, Seraphine was embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the women present for her. Even Andrew's wives surrounded her, asking questions.
She could not understand how they could feel comfortable with her so quickly, but she liked the feeling of closeness they showed. They discussed many of their future plans, especially how the succubi would assist, mainly in gathering information. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
The meeting extended for several hours, but eventually, it ended. To everyone's surprise, including Seraphine's, she was dragged off by Andrew's wives to a different room. Andrew saw the similarity between this situation and when a new wife appears and it confused him.
Seraphine is not a new wife, but what he couldn't understand was thatEros blesses Succubi, so they possess many techniques and knowledge about sex, and these women were eager to learn from her.
