Crystal Bond [Jikook]

| Chapter 5 |

In Demon realm:

The Demons all hail to their Emperor, the ruler if the entire Demon realm. This place is oddly different. The Demon Realm is a desolate land, shrouded in perpetual darkness. Eerie, twisted landscapes stretched as far as the eye can see, with jagged mountains and barren plains. Sinister shadows dance on the scorched ground and a malevolent energy hangs in the air. Sinuous rivers of molten lava carve through the landscape, emitting an ominous glow.

The sky above is a swirling maelstrom of ominous clouds, occasionally revealing glimpses of a blood-red moon. Unearthly creatures, with grotesque forms and glowing eyes, roam the land, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Massive, obsidian citadels loom in the distance, serving as fortresses for demonic overlords.

Whispers of ancient incantations echo through the air, and the air itself seems to carry a chilling resonance. The very fabric of reality feels twisted, as if the Demon Realm exists in a parallel dimension, separated from the natural order. It's a realm where darkness reigns supreme, and malevolence thrives in every shadow.

The Demons and the Mermans/ Mermaids are historic enemies from centuries. Race to find Supreme in all the 4 realms. Demons feels threatened by these water creatures, they wont be the Supreme creatures which exist in this universe. But Emperor Jungkook had never let that happen so far. Vampires on the other hand are isolated in their own world. They're not concerned to be the Supreme or the lowest in this race. They just care about sucking blood and energies. So far the Vampire Emperor (unknown) had good relations with the water Emperor.

From the depths of swirling shadows, the Demon Realm Emperor emerges, shrouded in a cloak adorned with arcane symbols. His obscured visage and commanding presence send ripples of unease through the desolate landscape. The very ground yields to his authority, shadows converging in homage, as the Emperor's name remains veiled in the echoing whispers of the realm.

Upon a sinister throne of obsidian, the Demon Realm Emperor (unknown)
sits in ominous stillness. His cloaked figure exudes an aura of malevolent authority, and the arcane symbols on his regal cloak seem to pulsate with dark energy.  "What those water creatures are doing? Why haven't they given up yet ? When we have already taken that Jungkook's sword." The Demon Emperor asks to his ministers.

"His highness, Jungkook is very witted. I'm sure he's planning something. We've heard that he has fled to human realm, we need to change his swords location from the human realm" a minister suggests.

"No that is the perfect place. Where he gets vulnerable, won't be able to use his powers and I myself will be able to guard it" the Demon Emperor replied, to which other ministers agreed.

Back to Human realm:

Jungkook has special ability since he's the Emperor, no other supernatural creatures would be able to identify or sense his presence until he wishes to reveal, even when they're just infront of the water Emperor they cant acknowledge his presence. That's the reason why Jungkook is not attacked again by any other supernatural creatures.

Jungkook and Jimin were sitting ready to talk but Jimin suddenly gets call from his rival. His rival Lee Jon Gi who is the second most powerful business tycoon next to Park Enterprises. 

Jon Gi: "It has been long time, since we met Park. Isn't it ?"

Jimin: "What you want Jon Gi? I'm not in the mood of race, just sit and chill in the covid break but What brings you calling, the second-best? Still trying to catch up?"

Jon Gi: "Catching up? More like setting my own pace. Your reign won't last forever."

Jimin: "Bold words for someone in the shadows. You've got a long way to go."

Jon Gi : "Watch closely. The hierarchy is about to see a shift. I'm coming for the top spot, and you won't stop me."

Jimin: "You again? Still dreaming of surpassing me?"

Jon Gi: "Dreaming? More like strategizing. Your reign might be long, but it's not eternal."

Jimin: "You underestimate the unassailable. I've weathered storms you can't imagine, Jon Gi"

Jon Gi: "Time will tell Jimin. Even giants fall. Prepare for a shift in the balance of power."

Jimin: "Then I'm ready, shifting power is in my blood and Park Jimin is the ruler of this game."

Lee Jon Gi

As Jungkook listens to the conversation, a flicker of admiration lights up his thoughts. He acknowledges the audacity of the challenger and silently contemplates the potential dynamics of this unfolding rivalry. He is impressed by Jimin's dominant nature, he sensed that Jimin had a very dominant and powerful, cold personality. The human was looking like a ruler or like a Emperor just like himself. But Jungkook was aware that humans doesn't have the system what they have in their super natural world. He still needs to know many things about Jimin this human was something else. Jimin's voice brings him out of his trance.

"Jungkook you said that it was the ocean side from where you came. Did you lost yourself from the ship or yatch? Something like that? Jimin questions. Jungkook shakes hisbhead as no, that's when his gaze averted on the wallpaper of Jimin's smartphone. It was dense green creepy forest. Suddenly his eyes dilated and he aggressively Pointed st the screen. Jungkook was more than 100 percent sure that Demons might have hided his sword in the depths of wild forest. But was it really that forest? He knew that human realm had many infact thousands of forests.

Jimin gave a confused look and he was weirded out about this action. "You really mean to say that, this place.... this forest you want to go there ? Are you sure?" Jimin asked and Jungkook looked more than determined his eyes showing pure honesty and some kind of rage along with hint of aggression.

"You know it's the pandemic outbreak. I cant take you anywhere just like that..." Jimin was cut off by Jungkook holding his hands in his long fingers. Jimin shivered from the sudden touch, indicating and holding them tightly as if asking Jimin to take him to that place silently through his eyes.

"Okay, stop acting like this... I will take you there by morning. I will arrange somehow. First thing I will let you know that this is Jeju Island so I can only take you to the nearest forest located here. That's the least I can try to help you" Jimin explained ro which Jungkook nods immediately. He was thanking Jimin internally this human... is so sharp, how he gets what Jungkook thinks. The Emperor genuinely started admiring this human.

"Now sleep in the guest room and don't bother me till morning. I'm very tired" with this Jimin goes away from the room by keeping a cold water bottle along with some chips on the night stand. To which Jungkook smiles lightly.
