From the sky, Malphasar looked around him with an ugly expression on his face.
The once picturesque landscape was now a scene of devastation and desolation, with only smouldering remnants of what once flourished. The entire forest which was around the shadow realm disappeared.
The mountains within hundreds of kilometres of the area started to melt, they succumbed to scorching heat, and transformed into rivers of molten lava, cascading down from their slopes and devouring everything in their path.
The air was thick with ash and smoke, casting a sombre glow over the land. The acrid smell of burnt wood and sulfur lingered, a bitter reminder of the cataclysmic event that had just unfolded.
All the demons who were attacking the portal of the shadow realm disappeared. Malphasar couldn't even see their ashes as everything was devoured by the molten ground.
Rumble -!
The aura of disaster class leaked out of his body, as the world essence around him started to shake. The ash-filled air was blown away by his powerful aura and his deep red eyes gleamed with ominous light.
'I need to inform master about this' Malphasar took out a black-coloured crystal and sent a message to Baphomet, informing him about everything.
'The teleportation matrix was destroyed because of that earlier attack, it would take them at least two hours to come here' Malphasar thought after informing Baphomet everything.
Rumble -!
Suddenly the world essence started to shake even more and another aura of disaster class covered the surroundings.
Malphasar looked coldly at the portal of the Shadow Realm, as a three-meter-tall black lava demon came out of it.
Malphasar was taken aback when he saw Valtair and his eyes flashed with a silver of confusion.
'Didn't Master say that Anastasia, the progenitor of the shadow dragons is the only one inside the Shadow Realm?' Malphasar thought in confusion when he saw Valtair coming out of the portal.
Since he was a demon himself, he easily recognized Valtair as a lava demon which left him even more confused as he had never seen a black lava demon.
Moreover, he can easily feel it.
'This lava demon is strong'
Malphasar had seen many lava demons throughout his life, but he can easily say that the one in front of him is the strongest lava demon he had ever seen.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Coming out of the portal, Valtair was unsatisfied with the destruction caused by his casual attack.
"Sure enough, I become rusty because of not fighting for so long," Valtair said, looking at the hundreds of kilometres of area around him which was completely devastated.
He looked up in the sky and noticed Malphasar staring at him.
Feeling Malphasar's cold gaze, the purple flames in his eyes burned brighter and a wide grin appeared on his face.
"It would be fun to fight against him," said Valtair and pressed his feet to the molten ground.
Woosh-!
He jumped up and immediately appeared high in the sky some distance away from Malphasar.
"Who are you?" Malphasar asked in an icy tone as a dark aura started to come out of his body.
"Uh?" Valtair was shocked when Malphasar did not recognize him. "You don't know me?"
Malphasar felt strange when he saw the shocked look on Valtair's face.
'Could it be..' suddenly a possibility came into Malphasar's mind and his gaze become even more strange.
"Are you perhaps Anastasia? The progenitor of the shadow dragons?"
Even though the chances were close to none, he still asked when he saw how shocked Valtair was when he did not recognize him.
Valtair: "..."
Anastasia who was watching everything from the shadow realm: Fu*k You.
"How dare this bastard compare me to that ugly monster." Anastasia raged, as her aura spread inside the shadow realm scaring the other monsters. "Rip him apart Valtair."
Valtair looked at Malphasar with his purple eyes wide open. The temperature in the surroundings started to increase and a dangerous aura started to come out of his body.
"You.....how could you mistake me for Anastasia?" he asked in a trembling voice. "Do I look like a wicked woman?"
Malphasar:???
Anastasia: Fu*k you too.
"I would have ripped them apart if I could leave the shadow realm," Anastasia said while gritting her teeth.
Malphsar did not know what Valtair meant by a wicked woman but he could tell that his guess was wrong.
"Since you are a demon, you must have heard the name 'Xaltair', right?" Valtair asked when Malphasar did not recognize him.
He was feeling offended that this crow did not recognise him.
"Xaltair" Malphasar frowned, feeling he heard this name before. Suddenly his red crow-like eyes opened wide and he looked at the black lava demon in shock.
"How is this possible? Did not you die a few thousand years ago?"
'So people still know about me, hehe' Valtiar laughed like a kid and nodded his head in satisfaction when Malphasar recognized him.
"How are you still alive?" Malphasar did not doubt Valtair because of his powerful aura. He could not think of any other lava demon besides Valtiar who could be so powerful.
"Kid, you are knocking at the entrance of the shadow realm. Don't tell me you don't know anything about the shadow realm and its master." Valtair said in a sarcastic voice seeing the stunned expressions of Malphasar.
When Malphasar heard Valtair, the stories he had heard about the shadow monarch finally appeared in his mind.
"You mean you are_" he asked looking at Valtair with even more shocked filed eyes.
"Yes, Xaltair is already dead, and I am Valtiar. The loyal servant of my master who came out to teach you a lesson for trying to break the seal on the shadow realm."
"How is this possible? How are you still fine when the shadow monarch is already dead? You should have disappeared from this world the moment he died." Malphasar muttered, trying his best to remain calm. "Since you are completely fine does it mean shadow monarch is also_" Malphasar did not dare to finish his sentence but he already knew his guess is right.
'I will have to inform the master about it immediately' Malphasar thought and was about to take out the crystal he used earlier when the temperature in the surroundings skyrocketed.
"Talk time is over kid," Valtair said, as a red aura started to come out of his body, "Let me see how strong the disaster class demon of this era is."
