World End: The Successor's Contract

Hina and the higher-ups in Rizaha sat in the palace with Uta, Ava, Anna, and Andrew to ask them a few questions.

Since Zeno was still recovering in his room, Hina took the initiative to question them. She had Isla stay with Zeno just in case he was to wake up.

Hina sat down opposite Uta, glaring at her as she asked with her hands placed on the short table, "Who are you to Lord Zeno?".

Uta showed no sign of cooperating, and that was starting to bug Hina.

"Allies"

Andrew answered, calming the intensity that was building up, he was standing beside Uta who was sitting close to the table.

"Allies? You mean you were his servants?" Slevin asked, he was close to the entrance and Doramon was standing close to him.

Ava looked around to see that the castle had been surrounded by warriors of the village, she thought to herself as the mummering of Hina whispered below her thought.

'Geko, do you think you can get us out if we switch?' Ava asked

*Even if we manage to switch, I doubt I'd be able to take them all on, they are all powerful warriors individually, let's just lay back for now*

Ava sighed, looking to her right to see Slevin waving at her, "I really want to see Zeno though" She took another sign.

"I still don't get why Zeno would move with a Demon, it doesn't make any sense" Hina muttered, tucking her hands as she stared at Uta.

"Look!" Uta slammed her hands on the table and stood to her feet, the guards immediately pulled out their weapons at Uta's sudden movement.

Uta stared at them for a while, her eyes alone were enough to make the guards shake but they also didn't back down.

"I don't care if you believe us, or you don't, I'm taking him back to where he belongs" Uta's eyes glowed, looking down at Hina who wasn't phased.

"You must be stupid, if you think I'd let you do that" Hina voiced out, tightening her grip on the sword as she sat on the ground staring back at Uta.

The door to the palace suddenly slid open and Zeno walked in, he rested his arm on Isla's shoulder as he walked in.

"Can you guys stop with the yelling already, it sounds like a royal rumble in here" Zeno uttered, Isla set him down on the ground before slowly moving away.

"Zeno? Y-You shouldn't be here, you still need to rest" Hina said, looking at Zeno with a worrisome face.

Uta's face was stroke driven at the sight of Zeno, she slowly turned her face to see Zeno smiling at her.

"Hey Uta, glad to see you again, I didn't-"

Uta ran towards him, giving him a hug that forced him to the ground before she busted out in tears. Zeno smiled, using his hands to brush her hair as he tried to calm her down.

. . . . .. . .

Uta had her arms wrapped around Zeno with a smile on her face, as he was about to start discussing with his main generals.

His main generals were Isla, Kamodo, Boss Slayer, Hina, and Slevin, they were also considered to be amongst the strongest in the entire village.

He had Anna, Ava, and Andrew stay in the room since the topic also involved them.

"Thank you all for showing up," Zeno uttered.

"Lord Zeno? Who is Ummm?" Boss Slayer asked, awkwardly pointing at Uta.

"Oh, that's why I called this meeting in the first place, these people, well, I guess you can say they are my family," Zeno said.

"Guess?" Anna gave Zeno the stink eye.

Everybody in the room immediately went frozen, they were shocked that Zeno even had a normal family, they expected warriors of soth.

"If I may master, does that imply that they are of royal blood as you are?" Kamodo asked.

"Nai Nai," Zeno laughed, "Anna and her sister adopted me when I was little, I never knew my parents to begin with".

They all sighed, feeling relieved at the fact that they weren't his family, "What about her?"

Hine voiced out, focusing her gaze on Uta, "She's a demon, or was she just possessed?".

"Uta? Yeah she's a demon, she's supposed to be the ruler of the underworld or something like that".

Hina immediately whipped out her sword, "All the more reason for us to execute her right here," Hina yelled.

"Wow, Hina calm down," Selvin uttered.

"Lord Zeno, you are too naive and kind, you are the successor and that comes with a big responsibility, she is the ruler of demons, what's to say that she won't rebel against you."

"Well…"

"I can't even if I wanted to, the demons don't acknowledge me as their leader anymore, need any more explanation?" Uta asked before rubbing her face on Zeno's arm.

Andrew scotched over to Anna's side, "Listen, that is Zeno right?" He asked.

"Seems like it" Anna responded.

"You all never told me he was the leader of an entire village" Andrew whispered.

"That's because he wasn't, I don't know what is going on but I'll get to the bottom of it" She uttered, clenching her fist as she watched Zeno trying to stop Hina from cutting Uta down.

*Demon empire*

The Demon empire is located on the East side of Orion, it is a huge continent where demi-humans reside in, no human has ever tried centering the demon empire, if they did, there is little chance of them coming out alive.

A lady wearing a blue dress and a transparent hand glove with one red demon horn on her forehead walked into the throne room.

She had blonde long hair and pearly blue eyes which were complimented by her red pupil.

In the throne room, a man was dancing to slow classical music. He wore a red emporia outfit and had long black hair and a demonic aura to go along with his red eyes.

"Lord Satan, I see you are dancing to the same music again," The lady said, she had a small bottle in her hand that had a green glowing ball inside.

Satan stopped dancing and turned to her, stretching out his hands for an invitation to a dance, "Join me, Halivia" He uttered.

Halivia sighed, she placed the bottle on the floor before holding Satan's hands, they began dancing, following the music that was playing.

"I believe you wanted to tell me something," Satan uttered.

"Yes, sire, the spell you placed on the humans is starting to wear out, if not taken care of they could regain their reason for the modern world and end the reign of the fantasy world" She uttered.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it, the spell has been around for decades, even if it breaks they have already engaged too much in the fantasy life to turn back".

"If your majesty believes so then I'll cease my worrying, and Lucifer, he still plans on bringing the Avalon world here".

Satan groaned, "That brother of mine is starting to piss me off." He let go of Halivia and walked over to his throne to sit down.

"His feud with the successor cost me my victory against the goddess 500 years ago, if he gets in my way again, I might have to eliminate him," Satan said, resting his jaw on his hand.

"Would you like for me to send some of our devils to fetch him, I believe he's in the kingdom of Orion." Halivia uttered.

"Do as you please, just keep him in place, I need to rest now" Satan opened his fist and the small bottle on the ground flew to him like a magnet.

"I'll take my leave now sire," Halivia said, bowing her head before leaving the throne room.

When she got outside, she took a deep breath and rested her back on the wall while rubbing the necklace around her neck.

"Lucifer, where are you" She muttered, closing her eyes as her face was written with worry.
