Primordial Soul's Rebirth

CHAPTER 336 - Let the Ball Commence.

It was the day of the ball that was conducted in order to celebrate the coronation of the demon lord—or so the low-ranking nobles knew.

In reality, it was just a party for the high-ranking nobles to get to know the new demon lord while also trying to get their daughters or granddaughters paired up with the new demon lord.

The ball was held in the castle, but instead of the throne room, it was arranged in the main hall of the palace.

The decorations were done by the vampires, who were known best for their lavish lifestyle and fashion sense.

The ballroom right looked spectacular, to say the least.

It radiated elegance and luxury, with every detail designed to impress. The room was as spacious as one would expect from the imperial palace of the Demon Empire.

It had high ceilings that were decorated with beautiful paintings of mythical scenes, whose rich colors were highlighted by crystal chandeliers.

These chandeliers hang like clusters of diamonds, casting a warm, glowing light across the shiny marble floors.

Tall, arched windows line the walls, half covered with heavy velvet curtains in deep reds and golds.

The clothing of the curtains was decorated with intricate patterns of different races of demons.

Between the windows, large mirrors with gold-trimmed frames reflect the light, making the room seem even bigger and brighter.

At one end of the ballroom, a wide staircase was curving down elegantly; its railing was made of polished wood with gold accents.

The steps are covered in a plush red carpet that quiets the sound of footsteps, leading to a large, circular dance floor in the center of the room.

The floor is decorated with a detailed cluster of colorful stones, adding to the room's beauty.

Around the edges of the room, there were fancy chairs and small tables for the guests, each piece of furniture carefully designed from dark wood and covered with soft linen clothing.

Golden candle holders were placed on the tables, their flickering flames creating a cozy, romantic atmosphere.

There was soft music being played by some demons with antlers protruding out of their heads, and they were really good at what they were doing.

They were demons, sure, but that didn't mean they didn't listen to music or like hearing it.

Also, the horns on the demons playing the music weren't actually the horns that represented power, they were their racial features, and every demon knew about it.

The demons stood in groups, discussing various topics, but most of them were about the new demon lord.

"The new demon lord is so handsome that even my mom said that she felt like getting younger and falling in love with him, just by looking at him."

A young demon girl muttered as she looked at her friends.

"Yeah, and I heard that his presence is so suffocating that the low-leveled demon felt like they might die any moment."

The demons, however, still stood still, and the hall stayed silent.

*Woosh*

That silence was soon broken as a wooshing sound was heard before Azaroth, Valerius, and Malak appeared right beside Alex, all of them looking great in their resplendent attire.

Valerius, however, soon frowned as he saw the dumb reaction from the demons standing in the ballroom.

It was not just Valerius, though; even Azaroth and Malak were frowning, and soon...

*Boom*

With a boom, Valerius's pressure was blasted out of his body, causing the demons to break out of their reverie, and as soon as they did, their eyes widened in disbelief.

*THUD*

With a loud thud, all of the demons hurriedly went on their knees, ignoring the fact that they were having a hard time breathing due to Valerius's pressure, and the next second, they yelled.

"WE GREET THE DEMON LORD!"

*Tremble*

The momentum of their shout caused the entire palace to tremble, and a smile finally made its way onto Alex's face.

This feeling—the feeling of having people worship him—felt way too familiar to Alex, yet he didn't get bored; he instead felt delighted to have it back.

The demons, after greeting the demon lord, paused for a second before they added.

"WE GREET THE DEMON ANCESTOR AND THE DEMON GENERALS!"

The whole palace quivered yet again, but that was all.

The palace wasn't weak enough to get demolished or cracked by just this.

"Rise."

Finally, after a few seconds, Alex's commanding voice echoed through the hall, causing the demons to get up on their feet, their eyes focused on Alex and Alex only.

"Let the ball commence."

With those final words, the demons that were supposed to play the music began again, but this time, instead of the soft tone, it was a bit sinister yet rocking.
