Chapter 990 Demon Prince

-----

But it all came down one day, after their almost two weeks of travels together... When they were caught and surrounded by mercenaries and soldiers from the enemy nations.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

They wanted Hellanova dead not only because he was just a member of royalty of that family, but because of the power his Demon Core carried.

His family were named the Blue Asura and were a mystical and strong family of Demons capable of channeling the power of the Element of Chaos.

However, because in the past they destroyed too much, one Ancient Demon King sealed their whole bloodlines' powers, and made them weak and frail instead.

A curse that lasted until the very last one of them, Hellanova, the star of hell, as his parents called him.

But it was a different story if their bodies were opened, and their cores taken away. With magic, it was possible to unseal their cores and bring forth chaotic magic.

They were hunted because of this reason, over their own resources in their small country... It was all a small conspiracy to take away their cores and turn them into powerful artifacts.

That would be later gifted to the Demon King to appease his anger by these countries.

And this is why they relentlessly chased them, until the very last child...

Punished by the sins of his ancestors, which he never committed, Hellanova was born in a crippled and weak body, incapable of conjuring the element that once made his family feared.

Helpless, this was the day he would have died...

Except that Pyuku had other plans for him and changed his fate forever.

"I took his place."

"So that's why...?!" Ninhursag muttered.

"Yeah..." Pyuku giggled a bit. "It was... rather hard to do that but it worked, I think."

"Thank you for your noble sacrifice."

"With this... the prince will be able to live on."

"Maybe one day... he might awaken back that power that once beloved to his glorious bloodline."

As they spoke, Pyuku felt sorrow and anguish, but nodded, nonetheless.

"We are eternally grateful for your benevolent soul, friend."

They said that in unison, confronting the armies of foes together.

He said they fought bravely but perished by the weapons and magic of their overwhelming foes.

Pyuku too, was captured, he faked his death, and let them carve out a black crystal from his chest, a sphere-shaped demon king fragment he had saved since he escaped his destroyed home.

Which he shaped into a sphere. These fragments can also channel the energy of chaos to a limited extent, so it was a perfect replacement.

It somehow worked, and they left him in the middle of the desolate landscape, he cried for many nights, without moving.

He was too tired because they gave him a beating he had never experienced before...

But above all, he was also sad for the lives that were sacrificed, and also happy that his friend made it out...

"However, once they left, and I escaped away, some found me out due to me imitating my friend's appearance. And kept chasing me around. Quickly, the rumor that I was still alive spread out, and then, many demons were looking for me." Said Pyuku. "I escaped into the Human Continent by infiltrating in the boats going there, but somehow the rumors spread even there, and I was chased. The Blue Demon that you talked about most likely heard the rumor and chased me. Even after all these years, the rumor is still ongoing, and I'm worried that my friend is still being chased..."

"So that's why he called you Demon Prince..." Ninhursag nodded. "It makes sense now... I suppose. What a noble act, Pyuku. You're truly a warrior."

"A warrior...? Me?" Pyuku wondered, feeling embarrassed. "I just... did what a friend would had done."
