Chapter 3 - Chapter 2.Meeting the abyssal queen

I am surrounded by thousands upon thousands of demons with this frightening monster infront of me, I knew I had no chance to run away so I had to talk respect to try and appease her. "May I know who you are." I asked in a polite manner even though deep in my soul I wanted to get out of here, but the chances to that are nearly zero.

The Queen chuckled clearly amused by my words but she played her part like trying to give me hope." Ohh! Where are my manners I haven't introduced myself, I am Nyxoria the strongest of the abyss demons pleasure to meet you..."

"Jaden just Jaden ." I said clearly shocked by the name because that name belongs to a mythological queen who whose revered as a soul eater of the abyss. [If it's that queen I'm screwed.] I thought.

"May I know why you came here your majesty." I asked.

"Ohh that my subordinates told me there was a soul here so I came to check it out now that I'm finished, looking at what I need I don't think there's anything else I need I'm not hungry to devour you too what a dilemma." Nyxoria said almost like she had lost a daimon she may never find again, but that grin on her face can't be hidden.

A predator always gives it's prey hope that it can escape only to be devoured, when it thinks light is a few steps away. I didn't think of that of course I was busy thinking of few ways to run for my life because I feel my life is in danger here.

"I see then your majesty if that us all can I take my leave now." I asked madly trying to suppress my urge to run away, after all some invisible force is trying to destroy me from inside out don't know what that force is but it's dangerous I can't stay long here or I'll end up losing my sanity.

"Hmm?" Nyxoria thought for a moment before replying "Yes you may leave there's nothing I'll gain from you, but" she said with amusement booming in her voice," I've stuck here for who knows how long so I've been bored do, do you will play a game with us you run my subordinates will chase after you and devour your soul." She said like a child who finally found salvation.

" You.. joking..right ." I Said in between my breath while fear started to make it's way to my inner soul. [She's gotta be joking there's no way I can outrun those many demons at once.] I thought but the next word's she said finally broke the little hope I had left.

"Of course to make it fair you have approximately 10 seconds to make a head start." She said as casual it could be leaving no room for negotiations not like I was going to negotiate anyway.

[Damn it life isn't fair, why us my life being used for entertainment purposes my life isn't a show]. I said as I started to run away from here as fast as possible not like I had any choice in me, but to run away." That's 10,9,8....," with each word she said the more the number increased.

I ran not knowing where I was going but I could still hear her voice ring deep within my soul. "3.2.1.... devour him." Those were the last words I heard, the next second all I could see behind me were a see of hungry red eyes, like predators who haven't eaten in years and were about to get their meal.

As I ran as fast as I could the abyssal demons quickly covered the back ground and once they were near enough, one of them was able to tear of a part of my soul the moment the a part of my soul was tore off I Instantly felt pain I never thought was possible,AAAAAAHHHHHHHH." I screamed to the best of my ability.The was like being having two limbs cut by someone who wants to make sure you suffer.

What I didn't notice is that the demon that torn my soul, devoured that part of the soul that it got from me but what was more surprising is the power it got it devoured a part of the soul. It's what makes abyssal demons terrifying with each soul it devoures the stronger they get, meaning these are demons with no limits what limits them is the strength of the soul that gives them that power. And that's what happened here he got a power boost he used to chase after me.

While I was busy running for my life I didn't notice the part that was supposed to be vacant, was replaced by a dark energy to be specific it was an abyssal energy that is used for the creation of more abyssal demons, by using using a soul they devoured. Basically that part of abyssal demons is like cheating the more souls yiu devour the stronger you are.

The strength of abyssal demons depends on the strength of the soul it was born in. The larger the demon the stronger it is. Back to the story after it devoured my part of the soul it got a significant boost to it's speed making more faster than the rest, in this group chasing me there were five demons who were in the lead they were the strongest.

It took them a total minute before they surrounded me all five of them preparing to frank me from all sides. [ Damn it ] I thought thinking of ways to get out but before I can plan my escape one of them immediately attacked me, I dogdeg to the left barely dodging before another one attacked from the direction I'm going to tearing my soul apart.

After it tore my soul was absorbed to it, due to the pain I was feeling I was not able to prevent them from attacking me all at once tearing me apart. With each part they devoured the weaker I felt but something else was getting but I didn't know what.

"AAAAAHHHH." I screamed but instead of stopping they continued.[ this isn't fair why do I have to suffer why must I be devoured, for someone else's enjoyment life isn't the world isn't, everything isn't fair.] I thought barely hanging on while my soul is being corrupted and my soul now is covered in black all except for the soul core. The soul core is where a souls power is located.

[Life isn't fair you say let me tell you a heartbreaking truth life was never fair, in this world the the strong prey on the weak while the weak runs around and hide helplessly.] The voice within me said in a feminine voice telling me about the situation I am in right now. On the outside the dark aura of an abyssal demon is trying to break in my soul core to complete its birth.

[I must be dying to hear around voices in my head guess before I die I get to hear, a women's voice. But it's not a bed ending.] I thought. As if hearing my final words the female voice speaks again this time more clear.[ Do you desire to live.]it said [ do desire power in order for you to escape from this place]it said reigniting my hope once more but not completely.

[ If you desire that much power follow my command and you will escape.]It said.

[ I'll do anything to get out of this situation] I thought trying to keep my self conscious due to extreme pain i feel from the abyssal energy trying to get into my soul core.

[Good feel the energy within your soul core] it said in a commanding tone. I listened to it trying to feel the energy it talked about. What didn't occur in me is where is this coming from or why is it trying to help me I never thought of it just adrenaline of trying to survive. The moment I felt it the voice spoke again this time in a more clear voice than it was before.

[Good now try and control every energy within your soul everything in your soul is your power whether darkness or light everything in your soil is your's to command. And this is the hardest part but you must control it ]it said in a grave voice.

Listening to it's command I followed controlling every energy within me and leading it all in my soul core. What I didn't notice was that every demon near me has stopped moving. But I controlled that energy and when I got out to control the energy out of my soul core I was met with an energy that was corrupted that if it gout to my core I would cease to exist.

The voice almost like it knew my inner thoughts said,[Calm down that energy maybe corrupted but it is still within your soul you must control it will it, and don't lose yourself to it] it said after I heard I controlled the energy within in less than hour all of it entered my soul core the moment it entered something in me was controlling it but I didn't dwell on that be, my core started to glow in bright golden colour illuminating tye darkness around all demons who were close to me instinctively backed away.

The moment the glow grew more brighter the voice[Now you need to imagine the form you wish to release it in and it should be enough to destroy low level demons.]it said ['And maybe it would also create a small crack in this place to escape from']it thought. Following it's lead I imagined how my the energy should be released the moment I thought of it the glow subsided, but immediately replaced with a power shock wave that destroyed small demons who were close to me while injuring the strongest ones. It also created a few small cracks in this place but my soul was enough to be sucked right in allowing me to escape this, place to an unknown place hopefully it won't be as cruel as this one.

NYXORIA P.O.V

After watching the soul gain power my little soul gain it's power and instantly destroying all demons in it's vicinity, and forming a few cracks in the abyss itself to the mortal realm I couldn't help but be excited. "Finally after all this time of waiting we finally found our key out of here." Nyxoria said excited and turned to the king, "Tell our the humans who formed a contract with us that a a soul that doesn't belong in the abyss nor the mortal has been born, and tell them to find the four sacred artifacts that can be used to break this seal aswell." After Nyxoria said that she disappeared in the darkness leaving the king with more work.
