VILLAIN MMORPG: ALMIGHTY DEVIL EMPEROR AND HIS SEVEN DEMONIC WIVES

Villain Ch 1086. A Bird In A Cage [Part 3]

Zorath, still on his knees, clutched his chest as if trying to hold on to the last remnants of his life. His once commanding presence had crumbled under the curse, his body now shriveling. His skin began to wither, turning gray and brittle, his eyes widening in terror as madness overtook him.

“I… I command you to… stop…” Zorath rasped, his voice barely a whisper as his strength left him.

But it was too late. The curse had already taken root, wrapping around him like a vice. His body twitched violently, and then, with a final, agonizing scream, he collapsed to the ground. His skin cracked and shriveled, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Even with Zorath’s death, the siren’s song did not cease. Her voice, now overflowing with grief and rage, reverberated through the monastery. Her eyes were filled with the pain of betrayal, of love lost, of promises broken. Her sorrowful melody turned darker, laced with a cursed power that seeped into every corner of the building.

From the depths of the monastery, the screams began. Faint at first, then louder. Pain, fear, and madness echoed through the halls, the voices of priests and monks overtaken by the curse. Some were driven mad, clawing at their own skin, their minds unraveling. Others collapsed as their life force was drained away. The entire monastery was consumed by the cursed song.

Then, amid screams and wails, another voice rang out. This time, it wasn’t the siren’s sad melody.

It was laughter.

A dark, evil laughter echoed through the pavilion, cold and mocking. It came from everywhere and nowhere at once.

And then, he appeared.

The source of the voice. The Devil Emperor himself.

He emerged from the shadows at the far end of the pavilion, his red eyes glowing with malevolent amusement. His smirk was cruel, his aura oppressive.

The girls immediately turned their heads toward Allen, their eyes filled with accusation. It was as if they were all silently saying, ‘See? This has something to do with you.’

Allen let out a long exhale and crossed his arms. “I’m the source of malice, am I?” he said dryly, his tone thick with sarcasm and resignation.

The Devil Emperor strode toward Zorath’s shriveled corpse, his eyes glinting with disdain. Without a second thought, he kicked the body aside, sending it rolling across the ground like a piece of trash. He didn’t even spare it a second glance. His attention was entirely on the siren.

He approached the cage, his expression shifting from cruel amusement to something more sinister. A smirk tugged at his lips as he gazed down at the broken siren inside, her wings mangled and her body trembling. Tears still streamed down her pale face, but her voice had not faltered.

The Devil Emperor knelt beside the cage, watching her with a strange intensity. “A bird in a cage may sing,” he said softly, his voice a dark, velvety whisper, “but its song is not of joy. It’s a cry for the sky it will never touch.”

The siren’s voice faltered. She looked up at the Devil Emperor, her eyes wide and filled with fear and confusion. She wasn’t sure whether to fear him or hope for his mercy.

“I love your voice, little bird,” the Devil Emperor said, his smirk widening. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes as he spoke. He extended his hand toward the bars of the cage and, with a snap of his fingers, the metal began to bend and twist. The cage groaned under the pressure of his power, the bars warping and bending outward until there was enough space for the siren to escape.

The siren hesitated, her broken wings trembling as she looked at the Devil Emperor’s extended hand. She had been imprisoned by betrayal and loss. But this dark figure—this Devil Emperor—was offering her freedom.

The Devil Emperor’s eyes never left the siren’s. “Come,” he whispered, his voice like a siren’s call of its own. “You don’t belong in a cage. I’ll give you the freedom you desire…”

The siren’s tears fell harder, her entire body trembling with fear, confusion, and an inexplicable pull toward the dark figure in front of her. Slowly, tentatively, she reached out, her hand shaking as she placed it in the Devil Emperor’s. The moment their hands touched, a jolt of dark energy surged through her, and for a brief moment, her eyes widened in shock, but she didn’t pull away.

The Devil Emperor’s smirk softened into something that resembled sympathy—though twisted by his own malevolent nature. He leaned in closer, his voice a velvet whisper. “Don’t worry, little bird. If he doesn’t want to love you, I will give you the love you’ve always wanted.”

The siren blinked, her eyes still glistening with tears. “But… I’m just a crippled siren now,” she murmured, her voice filled with shame. Her gaze dropped to her mangled wings, one severed and the other too damaged to ever fly again. Her pain was not just physical; it was a deep-rooted sense of worthlessness. “I’m useless.”

The Devil Emperor’s eyes flashed. His gaze moved to her broken wings, and something dark and powerful flickered behind his eyes. He spoke in a low, smooth tone, filled with both reassurance and power. “Don’t worry about your wings. I will give you something better.”

Without warning, the Devil Emperor reached out, his fingers brushing against the jagged remains of her wings. The siren flinched, unsure of what to expect, but the moment his hand made contact with her ruined feathers, a surge of dark energy flowed from his fingertips and into her body. The power was overwhelming, coursing through her like fire, but she didn’t scream.

The siren’s eyes shut tight as she felt something shifting inside her, something both painful and transformative.

Her body shuddered as the darkness wrapped around her, and suddenly, the pain intensified. It wasn’t the agonizing, destructive kind of pain she had felt when her wings were ripped from her body, but rather, a burning sensation of something new being forged inside her. Her feathers began to glow with a deep, black light.

“Do not fear the pain,” the Devil Emperor whispered. “It is only a brief moment before you are reborn.”
