Legend Of The Demon Emperor

Chapter 1 / Prologue?

"Demon!"

"Its a Demon!"

" Kill the demon child!"

In a forest loud crazed shouts were heard. The darkness of night was illuminated as men weilding torches and swords chased after a lone figure.

"The demon child can't escape!"

" We must kill it before it brings misfortune to us all!"

Shouting continued as they pushed through the dense forest still chasing the lone figure.

The figure was none other than a child with pale glossy skin that was covered from head to toe with dirt and mud. His crimson eyes were wide in fear as he kept breathing heavily. His black hair swayed backwards as the cold wind blew through him.

"I-i'm not a d-demon! Leave me alone! I just w-wanted a friend!" The small child yelled in a choked voice as tears streamed down his skinny malnourished face.

"Don't let him decieve you! Thats what demons are most known for!" A man clothed in yellow robes shouted as he waved a golden cane in his hand which shot forth a peircing beam of light at the child.

The child felt a chill go up his back as he tried to jump to the side but it was already to late.

"Aaaah!" The child screamed in pain as his left arm dangled downwards.

Even though his shoulder had a massive opened wound which caused him to scream in pain, he did not stop running. If he stopped he knew he would be in way more pain.

....But fate decided to not let him go.

Swoosh.

The child halted to a stop as he was at a cliff's edge. He looked behind him only to see the pursuers were only a few yards away.

"I-I can't do this anymore. Mom i'm sorry... I will see you soon." The boy closed his eyes as he jumped off the cliff shocking his pursuers. All except the man in yellow robes. His face contorted into one of blissfulness.

Splat.

The boy's head was crushed on impact and his bones were all split apart. Just like that he was dead and that was all the pursuers wanted. They quickly rejoiced as if they saved the day.

"We did it!"

"Yeah! We killed the demon!"

Multiple cries of victory rang out as they started heading back. No one dared to go and retrieve the body due to how steep the cliff was. One careless mistake and they would die just like the demon.

As the men left, the yellow robed man led them with a face full of ectasy. He felt as though a big burden had been taken off.

'Finally I Mundi, no longer fear of your revenge or prophecy Crimson Devil Sect.' The yellow robed man or now known as Mundi thought as he walked through the forest back to the village he was currently residing in temporarily. He had pursued 'one' of the prophesized children for a whole month. Finally the thing was dead. All his worries were gone and he could rank up in his holy sect from killing the child.

'Prophecy my ass.'

The prophecy fortold by the Crimson Devil Sect that one with red eyes and black hair would become the new Demonic Emperor. The demon emperor was more than a fairy tale and everyone feared even talking about him. If it were not for the Holy Dagon Sect's Holy Emperor than the Demonic Emperor would have wreaked havoc across the world and destroyed it. It was extremely rare if one was born with red eyes in this country of Yu Sun let alone black hair along with it. Most were demons or mixed so many were hunted down and killed without remorse. It was suprising for the child to have survived for so long.
