👑 THE RAMPAGE 👑

“She’s ready your majesty. Just let her pay for her wrong deeds”. The Queen Mother said from her throne as the Emperor’s gaze were stuck on Jade’s.

“As her father, I don’t object. I birthed a monster and I’m ready to see her in pains as a purnishment for ki||ing many lives….

“Shut it”. Emperor Damien cut him off turning to glare at Minister Wang who instantly returned to bowing to avoid the Emperors gaze.

“I h@ťě slow poisons and if you don’t caution yourself while in front of me next time I’ll not only cut off your tongue but throw you out of office also!”. The Emperor thr_@tened and Minister Wang immediately bowed.

“I should be punish for annoying you Emperor!”. Minister Wang stated and his wives and children joined.

“Please forgive our lord your majesty!”.The ladies and girls said while Asa only rolled eyes at them not following them to plead ignoring her mother’s glare.

“You all really want her to be punished for her deeds right?”. The Emperor’s voice came.

“Yes your majesty!!”. Everyone chorused.

“Let’s go to the execution ground then”. Emperor Damien said before walking out of the court in anger and everyone cheered angrily while Jade was shook for a second on her knees.

Two guards instantly appeared from no where with spears in their hands they pulled her up from the ground roughly and began pushing her out of the court.

They pushed her roughly to the extent she fell heavily to the ground hurting her knees and everyone broke into laughter while Sindura blinked pitifully, Damon on the other hand was pissed Damien wanted Jade dead.

‘Should i just safe her myself?’. Damon thought within himself and Sindura quickly faced him.

“You can? Please help her”. Sindura pleaded holding Damon’s hand but he shoved her hand away.

“Don’t you ever read my mind again unless you cherish so much”. Damon glared before leaving crowd to the execution ground.

Han sighed sadly following the crowd as he caught a glimpse of his father who smiled at him, but he only glared at him before walking out.

“That punk doesn’t know I’m doing all this for him”. Minister Zhuo scoffed at Han’s attitude before leaving also.

<EXECUTION GROUND>

Everyone stood in a huge circle leaving the middle empty. The Queen Mother stood amongst the ministers while the Emperor stood right in the circle facing kneeling Jade.

For some reason his knees hurts and he glanced at Jade’s knees only to see she was bleeding slowly from her knees as result of the push. His veins became visible in anger but he held it in.

Jade’s head was lowered, fidgeting on her fingers as she tried hiding her huge pants.

Then the head guard stepped forward and the mumbling crowd became drop down silent.

“Today noon in the month of the rabbit, a witch will be purnished for slaughtering lives and destroying properties at the city’s main market Yan market. According to Yongxi’s two years old law she’ll be punished through the divine lightening whip bestowed unto our great Emperor by the heavens so as to put criminals in the right track. Three strikes of the heavenly whip is what she’s to receive to make atonement for her sins!!”. The head guard said reading from a purple scroll.

“Yesssss!!”. Everyone shouted in acceptance and Jade began shaking completely as her eyes widened madly.

‘I must have gone crazy? Did I just agree to get purnished? No! Mistake…it was a mistake..they can’t take it serious!’. Jade’s mind screamed as she looked around witg shocked eyes, seeing the pity look on Asa and Kai’s face her mind became more restless, then her eyes finally landed on the Emperor standing right in front of her, his eyes glaring deep at her from his mask and she gulped down nothing.

‘I said what I said by mistake you can’t possibly ki|| a young girl like me!’. Jade said in her head knowing fully well the Emperor would hear her and he did but he ignored her, then the Emperor stretched out his right hand and immediately a golden electric long chain appeared right in his hand and everyone cheered happily while Jade from kneeling fell straight to the ground in shock, the chain was so long and heavy that a little contact with the ground it broke the ground to pieces.

“And the strikes starts now!!”. The head guard stated and Jade quickly shook her head slowly shifting backwards as the Emperor raised up the chain in his hand to strike her and everywhere became filled with joy and laughter as they anticipated the strike.

“No please!!…Ahh!!”. Jade screamed loudly, her eyes shut as she heardthe loud sound of heavy lightening chain touch skin and then the vibration of the ground but worse was the huge silence in the crowd.

Blood began dripping to the ground and Jade’s tears wouldn’t stop pouring continuously as she held her vibrating body tight trying to touch were she was lashed in her arms but surprisingly she felt nothing and flipped open her eyes to see what happened only to be shocked when the second strike came and instead of whipping her with the chsin the Emperor whipped himself for the second time and this time around his robe tore from behind, tearing his skin also as he fell to his knees right before Jade who was as shocked as the people.

“What’s…he..doing?”. Mina stuttered fearfully with widened eyes as they all watch the Emperor’s blood drip to the ground forming a huge pool already.

The Emperor raised up his hands his strike himself again but this time Kai went on his knees and everyone went on their knees also with their heads bowed pleading with the Emperor.

“Please stop your majesty!! We’re sorry for compeling you to carry out the execution!!”. Everyone chorused in shaky voice not yet digesting what they just saw.

“They love him that much”. Damon scoffed from where he hid watching with Sindura who rolled eyes at him.

“He’s a legend. I love how he looked out for her, too bad I’m a demon”. Sindura muttered and Damon made her faced him.

“Why shouldn’t you be a demon? Wow?! You have eyes for Damien but want to marry me? Why?! So you could poison me and sell my clan to your crush?!”. Damon snapped in rage and Sindura shook her head in justification.

“No. I just meant like I admired his form of leadership not letting everyone bully…

“Now i get why you’re here. You came here to catch a glimpse of him didn’t you..

“No i didnt mean it that way. Why are you talking like this…

“You dare cut the demon king off when he speaks!! Drago!!”. Damon called his anger doubling and Sindura’s eyes widened as Damon’s most feared soldier appeared before him.

“Seize her and through her into the dark lake”. Damon ordered and Sindura began shaking in fear.

“Please don’t let me go there…

Sindura wasn’t done speaking when Drago grabbed her and disappeared with her.

“Cheat”. Damon spat going back to where the crowd knelt begging the Emperor who was completely injured and he smirked.

“Last strike. Means you loose your powers Damien. I need to get my army ready, we’ll soon be taking over the whole of the tenth providence”. Damon smirked pulling closer to enjoy the show.

“Please your majesty! Please don’t strike yourself anymore!!”. The Queen Mother yelled loudly and everyone joined her.

“If you loose your powers you might die from weakness!!”. Minister Ling yelled and many people began crying out of fear of loosing the Emperor.

“What if the demons invades our kingdom!! Who’ll protect us all your majesty!!”. Minister Zhuo screamed out with all his lungs and Han couldn’t help but find him irritating.

“He only thinks of himself!”. Han spat in rage.

“Please forgive us your majesty!!”. The whole crowd chanted but the Emperor’s full gaze were on Jade who didn’t move from the ground, as she was still gripped in shock.

“Three strikes is three strikes”. The Emperor muttered his mouth and lips completely bloody as one of his hand held his chest tight while the second hand raised up the chain to release the third strike.

“All for that witch?! This madness got to stop!!”. The Queen Mother screamed out and Mina ran to the Emperor holding his hands to stop him.

“Please stop this your majesty! She isn’t worth it!!”. Mina screamed but a push from the Emperor sent her back to where her shocked parents knelt and she coughed out blood cause of how roughly she landed.

Jade moved closer to the Emperor.

“Just give me the last strike…

“What difference would it make?”. Emperor Damien replied and without hesitating another second he raised up his hand to strike himself for the last time and Damon smirked bringing out his army medallion to summon them for a blood bath.

“Be quick Damien”. Damon muttered holding the medallion tight in his hands.

But right when the Chain almost landed on Emperor Damien’s back Jade’s eyes turned gold again and she caught the electric chain with her left hand like it was a mere stick she was holding and everyone’s eyes widened as they watched her squeeze the chain tight in her tiny hand and like a joke she threw she broke the chains into pieces and everyone’s mouth including those of Damon’s opened.

👥 She just destroyed Lord Shenghai’s Chain!!

👥 So impossible!!

👥 Who exactly is she?!

👥 A witch isn’t supposed to be this powerful!!

👥 What if she’s the Queen of witches?!

Voices from the confused people wouldn’t stop coming.

“She’s…getting possessed…her witchcraft is..

“Shut it! Can a witch possess such great powers!!”. Asa snapped at Minister Zhuo

“Nothing changes. Damien’s still weak so i still have a greater chance. Handling the girl is piece of cake”. Damon said raising up his medallion and immediately hundreds of soldiers dark demon soldiers appeared shocking everyone as they ran to hide behind the weak Emperor, who was still on one knee on the ground.

Then Damon came forward smirking at Emperor Damien.

“We won’t take much of your time we’ll be done with our slaughtering and send you to meet old Shenghai”. Damon said and the Emperor threw him a glare.

“But first, what if i remove your mask also, i mean before ki||ing everyone here why don’t we just let them witness your good look before dying”. Damon smirked bringing out his sword to approach the Emperor but the palace guards together with Kai appeared in front of him and a fight ensued between.

Jade’s eyes was currently changing colours from blue to gold and the Emperor weakly touched her shoulder making her face him.

“Take cover”. He muttered.

“But..you’re not…strong enough…

“Listen to me”. The Emperor muttered but almost immediately a strong dark breeze blew and the Emperor quickly pulled Jade into his bossom covering her from the breeze with his long cape, and the breeze only threw everyone backwards and they all fell hard to the ground.

Jade would have been blown away also if the Emperor didn’t hold her tight into him.

The dark breeze came from Damon who easily defeated Kai and the guards and Mina in anger summoned her sword to attack.

“Are you stupid?! You think the Demon King is that weak and the Emperor hasn’t ki||ed him yet?!”. Minister Wang snapped pulling Mina back to take cover behind the Emperor.

“Spare no live!!! ki|| everyone present!! But live the Emperor and his little criminal to me”. Damon ordered and immediately the demon army began running towards the people, but right when they were about getting to the people the Emperor used his force to throw them back and they all flew away landing behind Damon, but the energy the Emperor used made him vomit blood and everyone’s eyes widened.

“The chain made you weak”. Jade muttered as she tried touching the Emperor’s face but he stopped her, waving off her hand.

“We’re all not powerless ourselves!! Don’t wait for the Emperor to protect you before you do the right thing!!”. Han yelled getting up as he conjured his powers in his hands ready to strike.

Everyone else hesitated but Asa stood up next joining him as she brought out her shiny purple sword Mina followed also, the chieves suddenly appeared also that sword in their hands as they glared directly at Damon who broke into a mocking laughter as he watched the ministers gain little courage to join them also, they didn’t hold sword but they had their powers ready, Minister Zhuo was the last to join even when everyone was ready to fight only for him to come out shaking as he conjured his water spells in his hands.

“Let’s all dance then”. Damon smirked raising up his medallion and more soldiers appeared shocking everyone as they suddenly lost their confidence.

“Don’t pull back! We’re more than you Think”. Chief Foxy said and Damon laughed again.

Then the chieves led the people to fight with the demons but unfortunately the demons had the upper hand. Kai got up still injured and joined the big fight but nothing was in their.

The Emperor’s fist tightened as he tried moving but he pain struck him hard as he fell back to his knees.

“Your majesty!”. Jade called rushing to him but Emperor raised up his hand signifying for her to stop.

“Unless you want to be seen as a witch again, leave”. The Emperor said and Jade stopped on her track.

Then Damon began approaching them, his long dark sword in his hands as he moved closer to them, but Jade stood in front of the Emperor, blocking Damon from getting to him.

“Go back to where you’re coming from cause you surely won’t get the Emperor!”. Jade said loudly and Damon nodded.

“Ofcourse i won’t get him. It’s you i want not him, i just want him dead”. Damon said and Jade frowned.

Then immediately Damon summoned his second sword emanating more dark energy than the one in his hands and paranormally sped towards the Emperor flying to land and strike the Emperor to death with his two sword but right when he was about landing amd striking the Emperor, Jade caught his swords mid strike pulling them out of his grip she threw them to the ground and gripped Damon’s neck tight squeezing him tight in with surprisingly long fingers and everyone including the demon army dropped their swords in their hands in shock as they watched the shocking show before them.

Damon’s eyes locked with Jade’s golden eyes and immediately his eyes became clouded in fear like he saw something in her eyes.

“She…she’s strangling the demon King? What if she’s the reincarnated version of the god of war?!”. Minister Zhuo gasped out in shock.

‘God of war? She isn’t a witch again? Confused old man!’. Asa spat in disgust at Minister Zhuo and Lady Wang held her hands tight.

‘What of the powers i gave Jun? She doesn’t have it yet and she’s this powerful?’. Lady Wang thought.

The Queen Mother stood dumbstruck not moving from her spot, Hani and Mina had an unbelievable look on their faces, the mistresses sat completely on the ground ready to go mad cause of the scene before them.

Jade wasn’t ready to let go of Damon and right when the demons began disappearing since they lost the battle, Jade sent her flames after them with her second her burning them to ashes and Damon immediately used that opportunity to disappear from her sight into thin air and Jade became mad and threw fire into the air but it instead almost caught some of the people but thanks to their dodging ski||s they were saved, but it seemed dodging her fire made her more mad as she began each and everyone present like they were demons, and so she picked up a bloody sword from the ground.

“What’s…she..doing?”. Mina stuttered as everyone began shifting back sensing danger with the way Jade glared at them before approaching them slowly like a hypnotized person with the sword in her hand now emanating golden flames.

“She’s…she’s going to ki|| us all!!!!!”. Minister Zhuo shouted at the top of his voice and everyone began running helter skelter looking for cover.

Jade positioned her sword in attacking mode as she made to run after them but a hit at the back of her neck from behind made her faint instantly into the Emperor’s weak arms and everyone heaved out a sigh of relief Minister Zhuo fell straight to the ground in exhaustion.

“lord Shenghai if only you could have not made me witness today”. Minister Zhuo muttered staring up at the sky.

“You’re not strong enough. I’ll take her from you”. Kai said running to the Emperor whose whole gaze were on unconscious Jade.

“See to it that everyone leaves here safely”. The Emperor muttered then immediately disappeared from the scene with Jade in his arms.
