Devil's Plague (Book 2 of King Of Nights)

Chapter 06

Kang Ryu:

I look at them and keep silent. I knew that even if I questioned them, they would never answer it. Taehyung elbowed Jungkook as if he was telling something taboo.

"What? Ryu should know about this. No matter how hard you try to hide it, it will always be revealed." Jungkook seriously said. I mentally agreed but it took a while for Taehyung to agree.

"Fine..." He sighed and whispered something to Jungkook. Jungkook was in thought but later on, agreed. I just looked at them waiting for the two to tell me about it.

"I'll get straight to the point since you're not dumb with this kind of thing." Taehyung straightly said with all seriousness.

"Rude!" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. Taehyung chuckled while Jungkook felt disgusted.

"Anyway, about this," Taehyung was now putting all of his childish side away and became more mature. "Have you heard about the Devil's Plague?" He asked.

"No." I simply said and shook my head.

"Devil's Plague is like a parade. Not just vampires but thousands of demons. Their aim is to conquer the mankind and by that, they plan to plague the humans till they all died." Jungkook shivered.

"Well, we got the strongest vampires here, and your friend too. I don't see the problem. Last time I check, Taehyung almost destroyed the vampire world for losing his favorite socks." I laughed but they didn't. "Okay, so how do we deal about this? Any information?" I gulped.

They were never like this and I'm not used to it. If there are any problems, they usually just laughed it away and solve it like crumpling a piece of paper.

"Both Taehyung and I experienced this twice and to be honest, we don't know how to stop it. Several demons tried but they couldn't defeat the devil." Jungkook hissed.

"Did see the devil's face?" I started with a basic question.

"That's the problem. Even if we saw them, it won't matter because at the 101st parade, the devil varies from time to time. In short, someone will suddenly became the devil." Taehyung clicked his tongue.

"What are the similar characteristics of the past devils?" I asked as if I was interviewing the two of them.

"They are all the strongest demon in the whole race." Jungkook suddenly came into some sort of realization and jumped away of Taehyung as he  started to show his murderous side.

"Relax, I maybe the strongest vampire but in the whole race, I'm the fifth." Taehyung groaned, annoyed by his younger brother's thoughts.

"Is that something to be proud of?" Jungkook asked when Taehyung suddenly smirked.

"Well, to be higher than you and has a low chance of being the devil, then yeah, you could say that." Taehyung winked and Jungkook scrunched his nose.

"Then who is rank first to third?" I stared at their eyes. They both looked at each and gulped.

"Jimin..." They whispered.

"Oh so it's Jimin." I repeated and my eyes suddenly went big and step backwards, "Jimin? You mean that kind Jimin?" I exclaimed. I was surprised that I was not able to process the information. "I thought his innocent!"

"He's not that showy plus, he's having a love life right now the same as you so of course, he will try to hide to scary side to Jiyeon." Taehyung face palmed and my mouth just formed an 'o' to let him know that I understand Jimin's situation, knowing Jiyeon loves peace.

"Even if he shows signs that he is about to become the devil, wouldn't Jiyeon told you about it?" Jungkook rubbed his chin, thinking deeply about this matter.

"There's a chance she hasn't notice it yet." I corrected.

"That could be. After all, his inner devil will only come at night. Well, that's what I've heard." Taehyung sighed clearly not liking the situation.

"Plus, I'm sure Jiyeon is not an idiot for protecting her lover who is becoming a demon. After all, she loves Jimin as the way he is." I sighed and continued, "Any ideas when will the 101st parade will start?"

"In the last Blood Moon." Jungkook trembled. I tried to understand his emotions and came to confirm that it was fear and anger.

"Of the year." Taehyung added and patted Jungkook's back to calm his younger brother.

I ruffled my hair and thought deeply. There are a lot of questions going through my mind but I know it is not the best to say it especially with their reaction.

I couldn't afford myself to imagine that someone is stronger than Taehyung, enough for the both of them to tremble in fear.

I sighed and decided, "I'll check the calendar and estimate how many days or months we've got to stop this." I was about to walk out but Jungkook stopped me. "What?" I turned around, asking.

"There's no need for that." He said.

"And why is that?" I crossed my arms and raised my right eyebrow. "Don't tell you're scared, scaredy-cat?" I teased hoping it would lift the mood but it seems it's not working.

"No, it's not that." He replied.

"Care to explain?" I sighed once again.

"There's bo Blood Moon this year." Taehyung eyed me and continued, "What we meant from the last Blood Moon is the end of times. The Devil will have to make an altar of 10,000,000 souls and recite an ritual. Once everything has been completed, the Blood Moon will appear whether it's day or night, the end of times is anonymous." Taehyung hissed.

"If that is so, how are we still alive despite the fact that out of 100 parades, no one has succeeded in stopping the Devil?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"The zodiacs. You should explain it to her hyung." Jungkook said and Taehyung nodded.

"There are 13 zodiacs and sure, it's easy to find them but Libra is the problem." Taehyung ruffled his hair.

"13? I thought there's only 12? Why Libra?" I asked more questions.

Taehyung just sighed and signaled me that he will continue discussing this matter later on.

"The plague is already starting and I want every council to attend this emergency meeting." Taehyung looked at the city.
