Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 17

In the underworld

Third person POV:

Within the castle of the silver king, there lay a room large enough to accommodate a hundred people.

It was built for the king himself, so he could have a place where he could sit and enjoy a peaceful time alone. What would draw the attention of others to this room is the mosaic on the floor which has a big menacing circle eight feet wide designed into it.

There was a single window in the room that allowed for light from the outside to filter in.

It was flooded with menacing lights that illuminated the room even further. The room contains carefully-curated decorations that evoke the comforts of home.

At the centre of the room is a single chair and table of impeccable design.
Worthy of being sat on by a king. Sure enough, sitting on the chair with his back straight is none other than the silver king himself; Argent.

Enjoying a cup of tea prepared by one of his subordinates, Argent muttered
"Finally, after so many years of trial and error, the demons have finally learned to make tea that is edible."

Recalling how he tried to teach them how to make tea that suits his taste many times. It was a joyous occasion when eventually they learned to make fine tea.

A knock was suddenly heard snapping Argent from his reverie. "Argent-sama I have urgent news to report." The voice sounded strained.

"You may come in." Was Argent's reply.

The demon carefully opened the door and walked in, bowing afterwards to pay his respect to his god. "Argent-sama the blue primordial Bleu-sama has attacked your castle, demanding for you to show yourself to her. Amon-sama and Baphomet-sama have gone to intercept her, but I'm afraid...." The demon said while trembling.

Argent looked uninterested at first, he has dealt with the primordials many time before so it is not new to him when his castle gets attacked. This time however, he has an exasperated expression on his face.

This is a normal reaction when dealing with Bleu and Jaune. They provoke a fight from him and escape when they feel that they are about to lose. They are to Argent, a troublesome bunch that only know how to piss off someone.

Looking down at the bowing demon, Argent says "Lead the way." Those words alone were enough to make the demon shiver in ecstacy.

'Having the privilege to hear Argent-sama's majestic voice. How blessed I am, I can now die peacefullly.' thought the demon.

He lead the way to where Bleu was. On getting there, one would immediately notice the pile of demons on the floor either dead or incapacitated. It was a gruesome sight. Bleu is a primordial, a being who could be said to be nigh-omnipotent in the underworld. The demons stood no chance against her.

The only ones who already made her flex her spiritual muscles a little were the named demons that directly serve Argent; Amon and Baphomet.

Watching the ongoing battle happen right Infront him, Argent couldn't help but think 'Even after gaining a name and reaching the pinnacle of an Arch-demon, those two are still no match for a primordial.' Having seen enough Argent spoke with a voice of authority "That is enough."

Those words alone were enough to halt the battle, if you could call it that.
The silver demons suddenly felt invigorated to hear their lord's voice and be in his presence. Bleu on the other hand.

"You finally showed up. What took you so long? I was thinking of killing all the demons here hoping that would make you show up, but I guess that's not needed anymore." Bleu said with a haughty tone in a voice.
