Reborn As A Tyrannical Demon Lord
Chapter 10: The Scarlet Room

The red room started to mix purple when the sword in his mind was about to come out, bringing something so oppressive, like a chaotic feeling that was hard to understand.

This room is so strange, filled with boxes like tiles 10 × 10, or maybe you have seen a chessboard that is black and white, the difference is red and purple. on it was a puddle of blood that was not too shallow, only about two inches high and its pretty thick color almost covered the red and purple footing color.

The floor was split open and made the puddle of calm blood that made a chaotic whirlpool, twisting upward indefinitely to let out something so dark and sharp.

It is seen when the blood collapses back from its spin and falls into blood back on the floor.

Marie was just silent and smiling behind her, when the sword came out and looked sinister.

"Aiden, congratulations! you managed to take your sword, I've been waiting for it."

"waiting? What are you waiting for?"

"The sword of the demon king."

"What?"

"This sword, I've seen some of his prophecies, I'm looking into the future, the sword of the new demon king along with the new king that is coming soon."

"You mean me?"

"Really! you, the candidate of the demon lord, have fun over it, Aiden, be a bad person, be a cruel person, be a hypocrite, make yourself a part of it, that's how your sword describes your nature, you can't lie, you can't run from destiny."

"Marie."

"You're no ordinary demon, I know that, acknowledge yourself here, you no longer need to hide your strength and your identity."

They spoke without looking at each other, Marie was behind Aiden and as they spoke and turned their backs to one of them. Marie began to step forward near him, hugging him tightly, attaching her hands to Aiden's face.

"I'm sorry Aiden, I have to fulfill my ego for now, there's no agreement or anything else we can agree on here. Unless that's you, you ask for it, I will obey you. To tell you a little bit about my identity."

Aiden began to tremble slightly at his feet, hearing Marie's words, as if his mind was disturbed.

Marie's aura grew stronger, as it made her want to fall asleep and die slowly peacefully.

But that's not the truth.

It just shows his identity in the way Aiden wants to make him honest.

"Kisaragi Marie, I'm not a demon from a noble family or anything."

....

"I've been alive for thousands of years,."

...

Each of his words was spaced by time in a few seconds before the next word would be spliced.

His mouth was approaching Aiden's ears for him to really remember.

To Aiden, it was absurd when a first-rate student who was equal to him could even perform top-grade magic until not long ago their meeting, he said, he had already brought himself into the boundless scarlet room like a floor with a red and purple box chessboard.

Marie then walked to Aiden's front, towards the black sword floating along with its dark purple aura enveloping. He took the sword in his hand and brought it to Aiden.

"Please promise, you will have to protect my secrets and identity, promise me, you will become a demon lord someday."

"By holding this sword, you will make a covenant with me, a contract that can never be withdrawn and canceled. There will always be until the end."

Marie instigated him with mind control, so that Aiden would obey his orders and hold the sword. He can control the mind to anyone, or as much as anything, when a person's mind is in his control, he is free to control the movement of that person according to his orders.

Aiden was silent with a face like possession that did not go berserk in the slightest, a sting of calm without words, advancing slowly on Marie to extend her hand.

"Good .. Good~ take this sword, hold it, hold it, it's yours! Aiden."

His hand finally touched the hilt of the sword and simultaneously touched the hand of Marie who was also holding the hilt, now she touched her sword.

A magic contract that Marie had made, incited Aiden to do her wish. He only wanted a new demon king to protect him.

He knew, he saw some of the divination, many great threats from beings outside the demon realm.humans with high magic abilities, there were gods in their realm.

Marie had already looked in half and seen some of the destruction out there that had occurred due to the fight of those beings, whether they were humans, gods, or witches.

His wish was to make the demon realm would not lose to those powers, his actions should continue to make Aiden grow stronger in order to become a protector for the demon realm.

Not to rule out the possibility, the destruction of the creatures will crash into their world and destroy all demons.

There was no other way, other than finding a candidate who should be much stronger than him, he wanted to live eternally, yet he needed the protection of the person he needed. Ten great demons alone might not be enough to protect him.

Aiden seemed to lose consciousness, in order to hold the demon sword together with the agreement to become the next demon king.

Furthermore, there will no longer be a substitute for the demon king, the new demon king will be given the curse of immortality, the immortal is the curse, feel the boredom of living in this world.

The two of them held his sword simultaneously with his right hand, then his sword began to vanish devoured by the purple aura which began to disappear by devouring upwards until it was exhausted.

Taking another step forward, Marie had already touched Aiden and hugged him until he fell quickly into a pool of blood on the footing.

The purple red footing that was starting to go unseen, the pool of blood was getting darker and there was nothing to see behind it.

They fell into a pool of blood that suddenly became an ocean and was as deep as a very deep trough.

Drowning together in a sea of blood, as Marie's school uniform begins to wear off like it's torn and greedily devoured slowly by something. Hugging Aiden with a completely naked body and a new shirt created again in the sea of blood, like a dress, she said, more precisely a simple dress with full red that almost resembles blood and bright red hair color. Horns appeared on his head.

They fell so deep in the sea of blood, so deep and long. Until the bottom is like endless will get darker and they like will reach the bottom.

In the end, it was not the bottom of his sea of blood, it was just a new wall that would be used there.

"Aiden."

"Aiden."

"Wake up."

When the red part became a dark red that would eventually turn black and devour them within the sea of blood, the black that was so thick broke apart and pierced through something else.

When the black bottom broke into pieces and pierced through the sky of reality, those who had rightly fallen in the depths of the sea were now piercing through in the bright blue sky, like a bright blue sky that cracked and broke rapidly like it was hit.

They would fall from the sky and land onto the actual ground, no more scarlet rooms, pools of blood, or seas of blood.

"Aiden .. open your eyes, we're back."

Aiden startledly opened his eyes and immediately felt the quickness of the wind bringing them down to the ground.

"Aiden, we're gonna fall, we're gonna die, save me, save yourself, us..."

She woke up and saw Marie still in her school uniform hugging her tightly and resuscitating her head to him.

Aiden looked down when they were about to land quickly, they might die.

He immediately thought of how to land to save his life from falling at this height, his life was full of luck, he knew it, he knew it, many dangers are often in nature and when death other than suddenly spared from it. Luck favors him, almost always.

What he expected now was luck to keep him alive.

"I have to do something."

"Well! There's no other way, is this the end of my life?"

His mind began to be unclear again, maybe inexplicably Marie was at him and hugged him, then they fell simultaneously from the sky out of nowhere and what reason made them fall to such heights.

"There's no other way, if this is the end, then it's okay."

She began to make Marie hug her tighter and deeper, no matter what, they would die together for no apparent reason.

In the end, they landed at high speed from the sky when it touched the ground. The hole that made the depth wasn't too deep, yet the pain was enough to make one die, if one didn't even die, then it was the severe suffering he received when his bones were broken and shattered.

But, he opened his eyes, they were still alive, not a single pain he felt.

"I. .. am I still alive?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"No, you're not dreaming." Marie said.

There were not many more questions or words to be said, he was like falling asleep, having strange dreams like drowning in a red sea and then waking up when falling from the sky for no reason.

"What did you do to me?"

"It's okay, I'm just trying to get you to show me the sword."

"I don't remember about me pulling out a sword."

"You have to remember it."

Aiden immediately stood up from where they had fallen, they were fine, not dead and there were no injuries to their bodies.
