Demon King's Contract Eavesdropper
Meanwhile – in hell.*third person pov*“What kind of nonsense is he spouting? He doesn’t sound the least bit of apologetic. If I was there I would beat him to a bloody pulp!” Shedim growled under his breath as he continued working on strengthening the gate. Many of his trusted advisors and subordinates capable of magic like Amon were assisting him in doing so. Whereas they were reinforcing a force field around the gate, Shedim was allowing the gate to drain his own power to use so it would become stronger. The downside is clear, of course, Shedim’s powers would drain out rapidly until even movement would require the greatest of effort.No amount of exhaustion would be able to change his mind since every day that passes causes the gate to grow weaker and weaker. He is sure that Lucifer is just waiting for the most apt moment to break and march through the gate along with an army of demons. He must be taking his sweet time tormenting Enkeli before that happens, Shedim assumed. The thou
Demon King's Contract Asmodeus
Shedim covered up his expression of surprise at the familiar voice as he turned around to greet him with fake kindness.“Ah, if it isn’t dear Asmodeus. How long has it been? I thought you were in Egypt.” He asked, trying to divert his attention as soon as possible before he starts asking what Shedim was doing alone near the Hell Gate.‘A better question would be, what was Asmodeus doing here? If I seem suspicious then he has every right to be suspicious as well. Though I cannot deny that if he has been sent here by Lucifer, then our chances of being secretive are already over, might as well stop working and begin the apocalypse. If Lucifer gets even the slightest idea that I am betraying him, he will lose it.’ Shedim relentlessly thinks about the situation.“Are you listening to me?”“What?” He seemed to have zoned out.“I was saying I wasn’t in Egypt. I was in Israel. And I would have gotten out of there sooner if any of you fucking idiots had tried to help.” He growled with a menaci
Demon King's Contract Short Chapter
Passing the gate drained even more of Shedim’s powers. He knew he needed a nap as soon as possible. Even if it was for just a little bit, he wanted to close his eyes and rest without moving even a single inch. He knew this was not the time for that, after what he had just discovered, his main priority was to return to their home. He grit his teeth, wondering how long he would be able to call it ‘their home’. The way the circumstances are, it would not be easy to protect what was dear to him.Though he found it hard to move, he managed to bring out his wings and flap his way to the house. Teleportation required much more energy of his so this was a better option. Opening the door, he stumbled in. At this particular moment, what happened between him and Agares seemed to pass his mind. It was not trivial by any means but he had bigger fish to fry so staying angry at him any longer would only hinder his goal instead of helping him get close to it.Hearing the door open, Enkeli peeked a lo
Demon King's Contract Miserable existence
“That, I am.” He muttered as he slowly walked like a drunkard towards the centre of the couch. One end of the couch had Enkeli laying on it and the other had Agares. He walked to the centre and plopped down like a dead fish.Enkeli frowned and poked his torso with her foot.“Hey, don’t you have anything to say to me?” She asked.He looked at her with a puzzled and tired look at first, realising that he must have done something wrong that he could not recall. Then he started playing the memories of the past day like a movie tape, trying to remember what he could have done.‘Or wait, does she mean me listening into their conversation? Is she asking me to confirm if I like her?’ His instinctive naturally told him to smirk and give her a suggestive look but there wasn’t a hint of energy that allowed him to execute his intention. He simply laid there with his head thrown back, exposing his sleek jaw line.‘I would hit him if he didn’t look this good in that position.’“I’m not sure what yo
Demon King's Contract Shedim and Skye
Back then there was a bit of an economical crisis. Shedim’s family sold trinkets for a living, just enough to feed their family of 10. Excluding himself and his parents, he had his grandma and 6 siblings. At a certain point, the trinkets had failed to sell during the period of economical depression and the ‘savings’ weren’t nearly enough to keep their family afloat. The first one to go was his grandma, since she had decided she had lived long enough and wanted her children and grandchildren to continue living and make the next generation better.The next was his father, who made sure his mom and siblings had enough food in their bellies. Then, of course, his mom would die too, followed by older siblings and at last, the resilient younger siblings remained. Shedim did his best to take care of her younger sister.He stole and threatened as much as he could. When he was caught and placed in jail, he asked only one favour of the police officer who looked kind enough to take pity on him. A
Demon King's Contract Family Night
Next Chapter“Do you really think we should be idling around like this.” Enkeli wondered out loud.“There isn’t a better time.” His lips twitched to give a miniscule smile.She reluctantly agreed and changed her clothes into a dress. She checked up on Lily to see that she was completely ready and ended up in Enkeli’s closet to go through her jewelry box. Enkeli laughed and found her a small necklace (that was essentially a choker necklace for her but would fit more loosely for Lily.) It just so happened to be that both of them wore blue dresses.“How did you know I was going to wear blue?” Enkeli teased. “Aren’t you copying me?”Lily nodded. “You like blue.”She felt her heart melt. Lily really was the cutest kid Enkeli had ever seen. Seeing other people’s children being so annoying and demanding put her off at some point and she thought having children must be extremely difficult and miserable for parents but now she could understand why people choose to have them.It was still diffi
Demon King's Contract The Beginning
When I woke up I was happy because of yesterday’s events. It felt like a real family. At least I got to know what that was like before hearing what I was about to hear. We were having breakfast at the table, all four of us. The swelling on Agares’s face had completely died down and in fact, he did not even have the black eye anymore. He looked as good as new. The healing powers of supernatural beings really was incredible, it meant I wouldn’t have to worry about them at least.The whole time, Shedim remained completely silent. No snarky remark or suggestive comment, not even one of those annoying smirks of his. Agares looked back and forth between us and raised his eyebrow, wondering if something was wrong.I shrugged my shoulders. I was just as confused as he was. Lily, on the other hand, was oblivious. Since it was Sunday, all she wanted to do was her homework from school then sleep some more. After eating her breakfast she yawned and headed to her room.He seemed to be done with hi
Demon King's Contract Enemy
Note by author – You may skip this chapter if you’d like. Most of it is mainly information on some higher demons and the apocalypse. All the information I found was from the book Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley.The lights flickered, on and off continuously until the bulbs fused and turned off permanently. The weather was getting more chilly, the wind started blowing faster and I shiver as it reaches me through the windows. I take a few steps forward, feeling my way around until I reach the kitchen. I was blinded for a few minutes but slowly, the moonlight had started giving me vision and I could see more clearly. The black spots covering my vision slowly faded.I got a few candles and a lighter. Lighting them, I placed them on the dining and coffee table.“Was that the sign?” I whisper. Did that mean the apocalypse had started?Shedim and Agares had found that out before anything noticeable even happened. They knew immediately that something was wrong.
