The Emperor of Darkness HIATUS (REWRITING)

Chaoter 57: Its not over yet...

'Sigh....' A deep sigh was heard from the redhead Maou as he signed some paperwork.

The news of Ria's death wasn't publicly announced yet only Zeoticus and Venelana were informed.

They were deeply saddened to hear such horrible news, they blamed themselves for her death because they were the ones to banish her to the human world without any kind of means of protection.

Not only did Rias die together with most of her peerage but the powerful dragon's parents died too.

What will they do? Issei was still probably in a coma so it was their duty to at least protect his parents for his help in defeating the beast.

For the last two nights, Sirzechs was having horrible nightmares since that evening.

It was Rias with blood tears and a deep black void instead of her usual baby blue eyes staring at Sirzechs and blaming him for her death.

The Maou had a hard time because of these nightmares, he was having moments when anger suddenly rises out of nothing and had a tough time focusing on his work or other things.

Suddenly the doors to his office opened and Grayfia the strongest queen in the underworld walked in and went straight to Sirzechs.

"Dear, I think it's enough of work for today, let's go to bed and have a good rest, don't forget tomorrow you have an important meeting with the faction leaders" Said Grayfia with a soft tone of her voice as she walked up behind her king and started to massage his shoulders.

She noticed the changes in his behavior and appearance.

His shoulders were stiff, he had bags under his eyes, and always looked angry or frustrated.

Suddenly his anger rose once again as he slammed his fist onto the table cracking it in the process.

Grayfia was startled by the sudden outburst and had to step back because Sirzechs was releasing his destructive aura.

"Why can't we just have peace!? have we not suffered enough!? why do they have to keep doing these meaningless wars!? my sister did not deserve to be killed in such a way and left to rot in her own blood! I will kill every single one of those bastards who dare to mess with me!" Shouted Sirzechs as his aura kept growing until he heard Grayfia fall to the ground.

Sirzechs turned around to see passed-out Grayfia gasping for air on the ground.

Even Grayfia couldn't fight back with her own aura and was overwhelmed.

Sirzechs didn't notice his aura releasing and caused his wife to pass out.

"Grayfia!" Shouted the Maou as he quickly knelt down to check on her.

"Damn it" Said the Maou as he clenched his fists.

He looked around just to see everything destroyed by his destructive aura.

Sirzechs once again let his anger get the better of him.

"Am I really suitable for this job?" Questioned himself the read head.

"I always was spouting that I'm a leader foremost and family second but here I am can't even calm myself down because my sister died... fuck I'm pathetic" Said Sirzechs as he picked Grayfia up and went to their room to sleep for the night.

Sirzeachs had trouble sleeping this night again but he managed to fall asleep regardless just to wake up in the same nightmare again... or so he thought.

He opened his eyes to see only darkness.
Darkness was all around him, he couldn't tell if he was standing or floating nor could he tell where up and down was but soon he heard slow footsteps echo from the distance slowly getting closer and closer.
