The dark throne

Chapter 13

Third person POV-

It had all happened so fast...only 3 days after Meliodas got the message from Zeldris Liones castle was attacked....

It had been when dinner time was only beginning, and Meliodas hadn't made it to the dining hall yet when the attack began.
But when he felt the entire foundation of the castle shake he knew something was terribly wrong.
And then he heard the screaming, and the explosions.

He didn't even have time to think before his legs carried him with light-speed to the dining hall.

Shattered glass and rubble laid everywhere, a small fire was burning in one half of the room.

Warriors were bravely trying to fight off the demons who had attacked, which were only colored demons, which meant they weren't high ranked, but those trying to fend them off still had a hard time.

Meliodas should probably go and help immediately, but fear had gripped his heart, and taken over his brain, so he he could do was scan the room for Elizabeth.

Then he saw her.

"Elizabeth!" He shouted out, panicked as he saw her unconscious on the ground, bleeding from the head.

As he got closer, and held her in his arms he could see that she had probably been knocked out by a piece of flying rubble just when the fighting begun, but her life wasn't in danger as the wound in her head was relatively shallow.

Those not fighting was trying their best to rescue others, so knowing that Elizabeth would be fine he handed her to a knight who would be able to get her out safely.

With Elizabeth safe, he could stop this...

His clothes ripped as he let his darkness leak out, the overwhelming presence alerting the attacking demons.

'Do they really think they have a chance against me?' Meliodas thought darkly.

While high ranking demons like Meliodas controlled the darkness, the lower ranked demons such as the red, grey and copper demons are controlled by the darkness.
In other words Meliodas had the power to control the demons that was not attacking. At least to a certain degree...

It wasn't something he normally liked to do, as it reminded him too much of the way his father had ruled.

But just this once, he would do it.

"Stand down!!" Meliodas's booming and demanding voice echoed through the room.
And some of the demons immediately stooped their assault to whimper like hurt puppies, while other demons fought against his control and continued I fight, though without nearly as much drive as they had just a few seconds ago.

Meliodas wrath grew, and he began to think if rebels such as these...anyone who would hurt Elizabeth, deserved his mercy.

"Fine....everyone out of the way!" Meliodas shouted to alert everyone else currently fighting the demons.

Everyone followed his instructions, not quite sure of what he was gonna do, but sure that they didn't want to feel it.

Meliodas quickly spin around and took a sword out of a knights grip, whereas he swung the sword towards the horde of demons.
"One thousand Devine cuts!!" He shouted the name of his attack as purple flames from the depth of purgatory followed the trajectory of the swords swing.

Roars of pain sounded from the demons who felt the direct hit, but some had been sheltered by others and was still up fit a fight.

Seeing this meliodas ran forward, easily avoiding every attack sent his way, while simultaneously dealing the finishing blows to the remaining rebels.
