Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Name: Sihyeon

Gender: Male

Age: blurred

Appearance: He has long silver hair, purple eyes, really pale skin and is wearing no clothes. When you observe him , his body has no mass , only skin and bones.

For some reason when Azaroth looks at Sihyeons eyes, he felt a sense of familiarity, the darkness and feeling loneliness were the same or even deeper than that of Azaroth's. Fortunately, the boy is able to speak a familiar language. Just like many immortals, he was forced into a pit of despair and drank the elixir of immortality out of spite and resentment. That's the only memory that sihyeon has in mind, all other memories were erased because of unknown reasons. Seeing how sihyeon hasn't discovered his abilities yet, it seems that he awakened as an immortal a few years ago.

"What do you plan on doing from now on?" asked Azaroth

"I ..... don't ....... Know" replied sihyeon

"How did you managed to get here?"

"You can just think of me as a traveler that is wandering around to complete his goals." Replied Azaroth while avoiding his eyes

"The can I accompany you in this journey?"

"It's not a peaceful journey , it can also result in your death."

"Then that's more of a reason why I should join you." Said Sihyeon with a faint smile while avoiding his eyes

"You will have to leave your home"

"There's nothing here that can make me feel like being at home anyway."

No more words were exchanged between them and just like that Sihyeon started to accompany Azaroth in his journey. Somehow, Azaroth's journey got even tougher when Sihyeon joined him in his journey. This didn't bother Azaroth at all, if he is not capable of saving a single person then there is no way he is strong enough to defeat the demon king. Another reason was because of the sense of comfort that Azaroth felt while being with him. Knowing that a person has sunk even deeper into the abyss od darkness, knowing the fact that he is not alone, the strange sensation of having him by his side, being comforted and finding out many dark secrets. There were just too many reasons why he couldn't abandon this person named siheyon. It is as if destiny wants them to be together at all costs.

The reason why Azaroth has such faith in sihyeon is because of his unique way of comforting. In his most hardest and lowest times like when he witnesses the death of someone he starts to get comfortable around, is backstabbed or tortured mentally . etc, sihyeon would always utter these words, "You don't have to trust anyone including myself. It's better if you continue your journey alone if that's what's the best for everyone." And at those times, azaroth would always utter these very words

"Please Stay."

After countless years and struggles, they finally manage to find the location of the 'demon king', the way to reach the demon king is to enter an outer dimensional portal that is present at Sihyeon's planet. Before going to the planet and going inside the portal, Azaroth asks sihyeon that he doesn't have to accompany him in this battle. He is wants to take revenge for both of them and other countless victims alone . Sihyeon couldn't reject Azaroth's advice after seeing his determination and expression.

Hence, he compromised saying that he will remain outside the portal waiting for him no matter how many years it take in case the time inside the portal might differ. Azaroth couldn't do anything but accepted the suggestion respecting his wishes.

He said these words before their final departure while hugging him, "I swear on my soul, once I achieve my goal let's continue our journey together , one we are healing everyone and ourselves while enjoying new encounters and experiences."

Sihyeon didn't say anything while hugging back.

When Azaroth entered the portal , what he saw is a real hell that is described in the book of the planet called 'Earth'. When he looks at the sky, the red is in full moon. The land burning with hot lava while 'demons' are causing chaos everywhere by fighting with each other. Azaroth continues to search for the demon king while defeating all the demons that are getting in his way, hence reducing half of their population. This night will be one of the most 'memorable' night in Azaroth's point of view as he kept getting killed, tortured and disintegrated while fighting those demons. When he finally reached the 'palace of the demon king'. He entered the palace without any hesitation while all the powerful demons could only look at him with an unbelievable face.

To Azaroth's surprise, no one is present inside the castle yet he doesn't let his guard down and keeps exploring the palace. When he reaches a certain room, he sees something he least expected to see. A big black smoke is surrounding around sihyeon while he lies unconscious. Right beside him is black diamond floating in the sky.

"You really didn't think that I would openly let you take your revenge, did you? Now, make a choice, would you save this creature or destroy my source."

The voice of demon king could be heard but it was nowhere to be seen inside this castle. Of course , after living for thousands of years, Azaroth knew that making a choice option is nothing but complete bullshit. In a second Azaroth summons a sword out of thin air, not letting the demon king talk any more bullshit and charges towards siheyon. While cutting the smoke, he is able to float in air because of the necklace he received in the 'planet of nature', however he is still at a huge disadvantage since the black diamond started to disappear. Seeing the black diamond , Azaroth changes his plans and charges his sword towards sihyeon's heart. When blood started flowing from sihyeon's body, he makes a huge cut on his hand and uses the power of 'blood art', one of the techniques he learned during his journey, and create sharp spikes which then head towards the black diamond, to Azaroth's surprise, the black diamond started emitting a purple glow while some kind of invisible dark energy started flowing inside the palace. When he looks towards sihyeon, he wears an expression that is looking down at him without a smile.
