SMASH
BOOM
CRASH
Numerous sounds of furniture breaking rang through Zekram Bael's private mansion. Along with it came the roaring sounds of Zekram Bael's curses that should never be spoken near a child.
The servants all huddled together as they were scared shitless of this. Never in their whole life have they seen Zekram Bael so agitated. Although Zekram was never one to be the calm and patient type, he had always kept his composure even when someone was scolding him to his face.
As one of the oldest devils alive, Zekram Bael had many years of life experience and wouldn't lose his composure like a youngster. The etiquette and pride are already hammered into his bones and have become one with him.
But now Zekram Bael looked like he was possessed by a madman. His normal, calm, and elegant self was no more, and he looked more like a berserker. In fact, if it weren't for the extravagant and luxurious clothes, no one would ever believe this man is the same Zekram Bael who was the hidden ruler of the underworld.
As for why Zekram Bael became like this, well, the servants didn't know, and they are too scared to even care. They all knew how much Zekram Bael cared about his image and reputation. And now that they had all witnessed this side of him, they were scared as to what Zekram would do to them.
The best case is that they would be fired and transferred to a very faraway place, and the worst case is that they would lose their lives. And most likely it would be the latter.
After realizing this, the servants were in despair. They all wished they could run away and escape. But unfortunately, they didn't want to end up as target practice. The guy earlier, who is now a pile of dust, showed them what is the fate of trying to run away.
In their minds, they were cursing whoever made Zekram Bael this crazy and themselves for not asking for a leave today. If they were absent today, they might still be able to live.
….
After more than 2 hours of continuous screaming and smashing, the mansion finally became quiet.
But even though the mansion had once again returned to its peace, the servants were not happy. In fact, the despair in their hearts increased drastically. Now that Zekram had finally calmed down, he would definitely move his attention towards them.
Just as they were worried and started praying for their next lives, they were all wiped away by an energy blast that contained the power of Destruction. This attack was so unexpected that no one had time to react.
But then again, even if they were aware of it, what can they do? At least all of them died without feeling any pain.
After wiping out all of his servants along with half of his private mansion, Zekram finally calmed down.
This time, he was truly angry. In fact, he hadn't been this angry in a very long time. Well, I mean, who wouldn't be when they realise they were being controlled by someone? Not to mention anyone else, how could someone as prideful as Zekram swallow this humiliation?
And the worst part is? He didn't know who it was or when it started. So Zekram has no way to deal with that bastard and avenge this humiliation.
This is why Zekram went on a rampage; he needed someplace to vent his emotions.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Zekram walked towards a throne made out of blue and green jade. This is the only furniture that is left intact in his room. And also compared to other things that were also priceless treasures before today's action, this throne is the most valuable item in his collection.
This is the Jade Throne of the late Jade Emperor that Zekram managed to get during the great war hundreds of years ago, when the Chinese pantheon attacked the underworld. He was the commander of the defense force at that time.
And with his skills and excellent commanding, he managed to not only repel the Chinese faction away but also take the head of their jade emperor, who came to the battlefield in person.
And it was this battle that he managed to attain the rank of Great Duke in the underworld. And this throne is the trophy he took after slaying the previous jade emperor.
Sitting down on his comfortable throne, Zekram Bael closed his eyes and relaxed in his chair. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw that there were many devils wearing black clothes kneeling in front of him.
These are the shadow warriors that are loyal only to the Bael clan and were stationed outside the mansion. They must have rushed over here, hearing the loud commotion. As for those who were inside the mansion, they were responsible for his personal safety. Well, those guys were also turned into dust in that attack.
Zekram would never allow someone who witnessed his rampage to live to see the next sunrise. He didn't want anyone ruining his image.
"Go and clean up this mess, I want to see my mansion back the way it was supposed to be before nightfall. Oh, and ask the main house to send some more servants here. Also, block any news of what happened here. " Zekram ordered with a cold tone.
"Yes, master, " the shadow guards all bowed deeply and spoke in unison. And with that, they all went to work.
For devils, as long as they have enough imagination and demonic power, they could use magic any way they please. So, doing some construction work is not hard for these shadow warriors who received training from a very early age.
As the shadow warriors began to do their work, Zekram closed his eyes and began to meditate quietly. Now that he had freed himself from the mind control, he needed to make some preparations for the actions he had done during the period he was controlled.
Even though he is the hidden ruler of the underworld, Zekram wasn't arrogant enough to think that nothing could hurt him or harm him. No, it is because of Zekram's self-awareness of himself that he managed to sit on this throne without anyone being able to shake his influence.
Firstly, he needs to increase his watch on the underworld and see if there are any other people who are controlled like him. If he could catch even one of them, then his goal of catching the mastermind would be very easy.
All mind control spells leave a trace of the caster's mana on the victim. So he only needs to find someone and extract the foreign magic power inside that person and use a tracking spell that tracks that person.
As for why he needs someone else and does not use the tracking spell on himself, it is because he must also have had some residual magic power in his body. Well, for one, he isn't that good at using tracking spells, and second, how could he go seek a tracking master and save face?
Even though he could kill anyone he wanted, Zekram still didn't want to take the risk of damaging his reputation.
And the next thing he needs to do is prepare for the retaliation from the Shadow Garden. Although he wasn't conscious when he provoked those guys, he couldn't just admit he was brainwashed and shrink away right.
Not to mention this would damage his reputation, Zekram himself was disgusted by this behaviour.
As a prideful devil, he would never bow his head before a mixed blood. And besides, he had enough confidence in his own army. Especially Sirzechs, whom he was most satisfied with.
A Bael would never bow down before anyone.
