Chapter 565 The Black King's Power Grows: A Journey To The Underworld
?
"Good, you came. The girls have been getting skittish over the last 24 hours, and it seems that their Black King is getting restless, and it is having an effect on all the Demons, according to the girls," Morgana explained. She was wearing a black gothic dress with a hood, and the pale white skin of her face was illuminated by the blue light of the portal. The three girls were huddled together behind her, clearly scared at whatever was going on in their world.
"Funny, I was just talking about him. Girls, come through," I said, waving for the girls to come forward. "I will bring them back after I find out what is going on."
Morgana nodded, seeming to be relieved, and the Demon girls came running to me.
Grimora, my Sex Slave Demon, was the first to get to me and buried her face into my chest as the other two rougher Demons, Vaalbara And Mephistia, came after and hugged me tightly as well. Grimora, I understood, but the other two should not be acting like this.
"What is wrong?" I asked, patting and stroking each of the girls' heads.
"The Black King's been getting worse," Vaalbara said in a timid voice, her head staying down.
"It started after you left," Mephistia said, looking up at me with tears in her eyes, and I frowned. This was troubling news, but it made sense, considering my experience with Diablo. It seemed that his power over the Demons had grown so great that he was now affecting their behavior somehow.
"The Black King's been getting worse," Vaalbara said in a timid voice, her head staying down. "He's become increasingly demanding and erratic. He wants us to do things that we can't even begin to understand, like some kind of game or experiment. His power is growing, and it seems to be affecting us whether we are near him or not."
Mephistia nodded; her eyes were wide with fear. "We feel a growing darkness within us as if we are becoming part of the Black King himself. His influence on our behavior has grown so strong that it's difficult to resist. We all feel the pull towards evil and destruction, but none of us have done anything yet. We're afraid that if we give in to his influence, we'll be lost forever."
Grimora hugged me tighter, her face still buried in my chest. "Please, you have to help us! We don't know what to do, and we need your guidance. You're the only one who can stop the Black King from taking over completely!"
I frowned and looked around, my eyes narrowing as I considered. This was strange; the Black King hadn't been in a rush for me to visit before this. I had assumed that he wanted something from me, but it seemed like his impatience had grown in recent weeks. What could have changed? Was someone else behind all of this?
"What do you think is causing the Black King's behavior to worsen?" I asked, looking at Morgana and Lexi, who nodded in agreement. "Do either of you know why he wants me to come so urgently now?"
Morgana shook her head slowly, her expression pensive. "I'm not sure. All I can tell is that there must be an underlying cause behind this sudden change in behavior. The Black King has never shown such urgency before, so whatever is driving him now must be powerful."
Lexi crossed her arms, her face thoughtful. "It's possible that someone else is manipulating him somehow. It could be someone in the Underworld or even on the surface which is trying to get you to go down there."
I sighed, considering all of this. Something was definitely off, and I wasn't sure if I should trust anyone until I knew what was going on. I needed more information about what was happening in the Underworld before I made any decisions.
"I will have to investigate further," I said, looking at the three girls. "Until then, I want you to stay with Morgana and wait for me. I won't be gone long, and I'll come and see you all when I get back with Lexi."
The three nodded, and Morgana moved forward to hug me tightly. "Be careful. I don't want to lose you like I lost myself before you saved me. The Underworld is a very dangerous place," she said, her voice breaking slightly.
"I won't be gone long. A week at most, and I will have Lexi's help to guide me," I said, mindful of how long it would take.
"Well then, you two should get going. I'll make sure the girls are taken care of in your absence," Morgana said with a wave, and I nodded, letting the portal close after the three Demon girls had gone back, turning back to Lexi.
"Looks like I am not going to be lounging around," I said, and Lexi nodded.
"I think that it is best if you let everyone know what is going on," she said, and I summoned all the goddesses, and portals started to open all around us.
p?nd?---no??1,?o? Tallia and Nemoria were the first ones to come, and then the rest of the women followed right after from the other portal.
"What is wrong that you are calling us all here?" Tallia asked, and I signed.
"The Black King is getting antsy for me to come, and it is starting to affect the other Demons. So, I think that it is about time that I go and deal with this miscreant, but I am going to be taking Lexi with me," I explained, and Nemoria stepped forward to stand with her daughter.
"Are you sure that this is a good idea? I think that taking Lexi is wise, but you are going to be much weaker down there, and you will not have access to the portal because it is not connected to Yaggisdral. Even though you separated us from Yaggisdral, you only blocked the connection, meaning that we can still use the portals," Nemoria explained, and I nodded.
