CHAPTER 25 | THE QUEEN'S LAIR

##########################

Third Person's P.O.V.:

"Abort the baby and you live, or I'll kill you both and have your souls fed to the demons." Astra offered to the terrified Isabella, as she had showed her demon form to the pregnant lady.

But even though Isabella had her knees shaking; her whole body trembling and her heart racing, she would never abandon her child just what like her parents did to her.

Her stubbornness infuriated Astra. The demon child rashed out and attacked the woman by giving her a claw wound on her arms, as the mother tried to protect (y/n). When she was about to deliver the final blow, Krezth arrived and stopped Astra with a swing of his hands. His blood boiled and eyebrows furrowed as he let anger over come his senses.

Astra didn't know he was there. Her eyes saw his human form as he yelled at her frantically. He had enough of Astra's mischiefs, and he wanted to teach her a lesson. She was still his daughter afterall. He decided to send her soul into a human child, and ordered her to live like one. But, Astra hated humans. Wait, no—she despised them.

"You will be reborn as a human; and you are to grow up and live among them!" The King shouted at his first born, as she clenched her fists and let out a faint bloodlust.

"You can't do this to me!! I'm your daughter! Your real daughter! And now you're throwing me away just because of that witch?!" Her heart sank with pure sadness and anger, as she glared at the woman beside her father.

"Don't you dare speak to her that way!"

"Why can't I?! She's probably brainwashed you and forced you into having a chil—"

"Enough!!" Krezth took away her ability to speak and pinned her down with his powers. Giving a healing potion to Isabella, he instructed her to drink it and excused himself. He grabbed Astra, and took her back to the Underworld.

When they arrived, he gave back her voice to discuss what happened, but they just started arguing even more. Krezth thought that he could talk it through with his daughter, but it was no use. Astra's anger to him and humans was beyond help. So, with his powers back to maximum strength as he was in demon form, he sent Astra's soul in Human Realm, possessing a new born baby who went by the name of Elyona.

Every demon in the Underworld was madly astounded by their King's actions. What kind of ruler and father would dispose their first born for a mere human? It was ridiculous in their eyes and minds. They had to do something.

All demons have human forms. However, it compresses their power and bloodlust to attract less spiritually talented humans—also known as Nen users. A Demon's power decreases if they switch to that form, making them almost human and less demonic. The King of the Underworld wasn't an exception to that rule, and that's what exactly the rebelling demons needed.
