Extra's Path To Demon King

Livia stared at the bloodbath with incomprehensible horror, her mind utterly failing to register the reality before her eyes.

The loyal defenders of her family had been slaughtered like cattle by a dark demon, and that demon was none other than her own son, the very boy who had been quivering in fear just moments ago.

"How?" Livia asked, her voice cracking and trembling uncontrollably. "Why are you a demon? How could you be a demon? How is this possible?"

Her reaction mirrored the exact disbelief Daniel had shown upon realising that Axel was Osiris. Complete, unadulterated shock painted the vicious woman’s entire face.

Axel could not help but let out a soft, dark laugh as he watched the woman responsible for his mother’s death collapse toward the floor in absolute dread. As he took a single step closer toward her.

Ken immediately dropped to his knees directly between them.

The colour had drained entirely from Ken’s face, leaving him deathly pale.

He lowered his head to the stone floor and began to plead in a broken, desperate voice.

"Axel, please..." Ken begged, his body shaking with desperate tears. "Kill me... Torture me... You can do whatever you want to me, but please... Spare my mother... Wipe her memories... Do whatever you must, but please spare her... PLEASE!"

Livia, who was already drowning in pure terror, suddenly grabbed the back of her kneeling son’s shirt, pulling on him with a mixture of confusion and intense anger. "Son! What is wrong with you? Why are you kneeling to this whore’s son?"

She glared at Axel with a manic, unhinged expression, her mind unravelling under the pressure of a situation from which there was no escape. "You can transform into a demon, can’t you? Go on! Transform right now and kill this wretched, lowlife scum!"

Ken’s blood ran ice cold upon hearing his mother’s foolish words. He glanced up at Axel, who still wore that same subtle, unreadable smile without showing any outward reaction to her insults. Gritting his teeth, Ken turned back toward his mother, his eyes filled with unbearable pain.

"I can’t, mother," Ken said to her in a cold, heavy voice.

Before she could interrupt him, he continued in a solemn, rapid tone, laying bare the brutal truth. "That is because Axel is the true demon. He is the one who transformed me into a demonkin back at the academy when I tried to ambush and kill him."

He stared into her wide, disbelieving eyes, his voice rising as the weight of everything spilt out. "The monster who slaughtered most of the students was never the Ghost race. It was a demon. It was Axel Nomrad!"

"He was the one who killed Taser Vex!"

"He was the one who killed Talon Vex!"

"He was the one who almost massacred the entire Vex family line!"

"He was the demon who single-handedly turned the tide of the entire war in favour of the Ghost race through his sheer, terrifying might!"

"He was the one who plotted against humanity from the beginning!"

"He was the Demon Osiris who spread the demonic corruption across all of human society!"

"He is the one who killed father!"

Ken took a ragged breath, his voice breaking under the crushing weight of despair. "It was him, mother! It was him from the very beginning! The terrifying demon who brought all of humanity to its knees was always Axel Nomrad!"

He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a harsh whisper filled with intense anger, fear, and hopelessness. "And all of it was your fault, mother! Just because of your petty jealousy toward that woman, you created a monster! You created a Demon!"

Ken’s chest heaved as he gritted his teeth, barely holding back the rage burning inside him.

"We are standing in this hell right now because of what you did! Father is dead! Every single seeker belonging to our household is dead! We are completely doomed! So please, just shut the fuck up and don’t..."

Before Ken could finish his sentence, a cold, heavy hand shot forward and grabbed his head by the hair. In one swift, brutal motion, Axel slammed Ken’s face down onto the hard stone roof with devastating force. The violent impact shattered most of Ken’s front teeth, spraying blood across the white tiles.

Axel sneered down at him, his voice dripping with venomous contempt. "Do you think I am a fool or something? Do you really think I don’t realise you are just babbling to buy time, you fucking bastard?"

Straightening his posture, Axel looked down at the bleeding heir with a mocking smile. "Do you honestly think the King is going to come and save you? Is that what you are desperately hoping for?"

A spray of crimson blood from Ken’s mangled face had splattered across Livia’s cheek. Staring at her son’s bleeding form, she let out a wailing, ear-splitting scream filled with pure fury and agony.

"NO! MY SON! MY SON! MY SON!"

She frantically pulled Ken’s head back up into her lap, her hands trembling as she wiped the blood from his face. Her wrathful, murderous gaze snapped toward the smiling demon standing over them.

She no longer cared whether the Nomrad boy had a right to seek revenge, nor did she care whether he was a human or a demon. As a mother, her rage knew no bounds toward anyone who dared to harm her child.

Livia thrust her right hand forward, channelling every ounce of her remaining mana to cast her most powerful offensive spell.

SLAP!!!!

Axel scoffed and delivered a brutal slap straight across her face. The force of the strike was so immense that her jaw cracked loudly, and a surge of blood burst from her mouth. She collapsed sideways onto the stone.

Panicking, Ken immediately pulled his injured mother backwards, placing himself between her and Axel once again. He looked up with terrified eyes, his smashed jaw and broken teeth already rapidly knitting themselves back together.

For a demonkin who was nearly a complete demon, a physical injury of that level was minor, healing in seconds despite how horrific it appeared to his human mother.

In that tense, bloody instant, a harsh, commanding voice echoed from behind them.

"Axel, that is enough."

Axel froze in his tracks, his foot hovering in the air just as he was about to continue his brutal assault upon the hateful mother and son.
