Celestial Overlord - Chapter 45 Overlord

Yaojing was sitting on his throne with a blank expression. The guards and the other commanders were all standing in front of him. Each and everyone had the same expression.

To think the great underground prison of blood castle was infiltrated. Not only it was infiltrated, there was a mass murder of both the guards and criminals. This kind of feet wasn’t easy to do in the mortal realm. Thinking of this, they all weren’t able to sleep at all.

Yaojing looked at the commanders and the guards. He has done many evil deeds to ascend this throne. He even went as far as to betray and kill the former king. Just when he thought everything was finally going in his way.

The prison incident shook him to the core. He thought of all the person he had a grudge with, but even they aren’t able to do something like this. It looked like an army of the assassin has infiltrated.

But not even the great assassin organization in the mortal realm has the guts to say, that they would enter and escape from the prison. The dead persons all had a look of horror in their eyes as if they met something unimaginable.

Even he felt chill looking at the dead bodies. Some were even burnt alive. The prisoner who were alive were shaking in fear. No one was able to talk properly.

“Did you guys found any lead on this matter?” Yaojing asked the guards and commanders. They all hang their head down. Looking at this Yaojing sighed.

“Bring any of the prisoner who is able to talk properly” Yaojing ordered the guards. The guards went and brought an middle-aged man. He was one of the prisoner who was left alive. He was just a puny thief who was arrested for robbing in some Nobel house.

He was a normal thief, so he was in the low level of the prison were common prisoners are imprisoned.

The demon country has met its downfall after the death of the previous king. Yaojing never acted like a king.

All he cared about was to raise the military power of the country, resulting in neglecting the people’s welfare. This in turn caused many to turn into thief for food and some even started rebelling against the king.

But Yaojing had a strong backing from the upper realm people, the immortals. The demon race people feared them. As they lived through the oppression of Yaojing. The people of Blood sea continent really missed their former king.

It was his bad day, when he was caught stealing from an nobel. He was imprisoned for the theft. But the guards still took away his own money with the stolen goods. He cursed at the guards as he shouted “I hope you all are burned to death”. Saying that he turned around.

But at that moment a scream of horror was heard from behind. Startled, he tried looking at the direction. Only to see the guards running around burning. He was shocked, did my wish really came true?, But what he saw next was etched deep inside his heart. In that dark prison hallway, he saw a young man with blue robe and a face which was flawless with two scarlet eyes was walking.

The young man looked at him with those flickering scarlet eyes. He fell on the ground with a thud. Shivering all over in fear. This young man stared at him. He thought only death was awaiting him as he closed his eyes in fear. But when he opened his eyes, to his surprise the young man already left.

He was only able to hear screams of horror from the higher level of the prison. He gulped his saliva down in fear. Thanking the gods for saving his life.

But as the few survivor, he was enquired by the demon king’s guard. They threatened him, if he doesn’t say anything , his family will be executed. He had no other choice as he accepted to say whatever he saw.

Yaojing stared at the pity thief kneeling in front of him. ” How many people infiltrated the prison” Yaojing asked the thief in a domineering tone. The pressure from Yaojing made him tremble.

“Where there hundreds of people?” Yaojing asked again. The thief shaked his head.

“It was just one young man , my lord” he replied in trembling tone. Hearing this everyone present there were dumbfounded . Does he mean a single young man entered the great underground prison and slaughtered each and everyone.

“Nonsense!” One of the guards shouted at the thief. But Yaojing raised his hands, signalling him to stop. Noticing this the guard stayed silent.

“Say, how did that guy looked like” Yaojing asked him. The thief recalled the scene which was still making him to tremble in fear.

As he looked at Yaojing. His eyes showed a deep fear as he said ” He was like an OVERLORD!, your majesty”.
