Chapter 207: The Abyss II
"What do you want to do?"
"I don’t know. What do you think we should do?"
Duke Erin and the great sage sat opposite each other and continued to stare at each other for a while.
The great sage ryon spoke, "but if he really is the one shouldn’t his origin ability have manifested by now?"
"We could be wrong ryon"
"With what I’ve seen so far I don’t think we are Erindell"
"Can stop calling
that?"
"Why? I thought everyone in your household knows that you are a dragon, a gold dragon for that matter, ancient of ancients, that you are just playing rich human." ryon grinned.
"You seem to want to leave my ho as soon as you just entered" Duke Erin glared at him.
"Wow, our greatest clue to finding the Supre one is getting sucked into the abyss and we are here arguing"
"Your greatest clue. Like I said, I am not interested in finding so Supre one like you and your other angels are finding, is this what you fell for?"
"What do you an is this what I fell for, I searched every realm beyond heaven it was only natural that I co below and I happen to have the guts other angel do not have"
"...like I said, ryon... do your thing and I will do my thing. If you claim he is your greatest clue to finding your Supre one I have absolutely no concern, as far as you do not do anything to hinder his growth or kill him"
"But aren’t you worried? That ability should have really manifested already... could it be because he’s not twenty yet, it’s been over two years since he ca to this world though, so technically he should be twenty which is his maturity age but his ability has not yet bloom"
"I would say he is getting closer, afterall he isbjow able to create and rge skills" Duke Erin said.
"From what is expected of him, creating and rging skills is like a child’s play. You don’t have enough ti on your hands anymore...we don’t have ti for child’s play" ryon said.
Duke Erin paused for a minute then talked, "ryon, I know you... what is wrong?"
"...dammit" he covered his face and sighed, "soone is trailing minglewitch again"
"Oho, just like the last ti"
"Yes. Just like the last ti, atleast the last ti I knew that person disguised among humans that ca to steal sothing but this ti I couldn’t even tell what he was"
"So you moved it and was not able to complete his training with you I guess"
"I just taught him so spatial magic and help him fix the aid, so it can access deeper into his subconscious maybe soday mories that are forgotten will wake again."
"...that could be risky... even though that child is an offspring of Bahamut and Tiamat you shouldn’t be hasty like that, his conscience has traveled across thousand of dinsions for over seven hundred million years, try to forcibly awake him could make a lot of things go wrong"
"I know, I know... but I was really anxious... things are not going well in heaven, the gods are acting cocky while their creators the estelers are missing, even the angels are already loosing their way. If I don’t act fast the least threat the universe will be having is demons, or the gods bringing in another weird creature to play with...we have no track of how the universe is flowing, no one powerful enough to monitor and maintain justice of unknown forces which constantly linger around, even the deities and Estelers who were our biggest hope are no where to be found."
Duke Erin stood up and touched ryon’s shoulder, "fake elf...you don’t have to be so distress, I know that the weight of the world bothers you but be patient and calm down...I trust Reinard, I know this ti he will not disappoint you, there’s sothing different about this particular one"
"...which is?" ryon asked with curious eyes.
"He’s selfish" Duke Erin smiled, "in the an ti you should work hard to discover whoever is trailing you... I heard that there are so circles of very powerful humans and other races, and they call themselves pillars of the universe, if you are being traced by them then I guess they may pose more threat than I thought they would...we’ll so far, it’s you they seem a threat to not ...and you are not that strong...just smart...don’t get killed before our mont of harvest" Duke Erin said to ryon.
"I have a dragon on my side too and compared to you who is already so old, she’s in her pri...it’s you that should be careful not to die from old age"
"Yea yea sure sure"
ryon stood up, "so about the abyss?"
"Do nothing...let’s watch"
ryon sighed, "Okay if you say so"
ryon imdiately disappeared.
"Tchi...he could’ve used he door"
Alia entered, "Fallen angel Empra..."
"Hm hm" Duke Erin shook his head, "he’s not a fallen...he’s the first of them, left before they even knew him hence he was not really known among the ranks of ophanim, he prefers to call himself a fallen so he wouldn’t be full of himself."
"...an ophanim...? Not malakh?" Alia was surprised.
Duke Erin just nodded and collected the tea Alia was holding on a tray.
***************
"The cat keeps circling that particular spot and none of us seem to care about it" Juan said.
"Leave the black cat Juan... how on earth am I supposed to tell the Duke, Master Reinard entered into the ground on my watch" Cheof Letra continued to grieve while Azes walked in circles.
’I was late... I can’t believe I was late... Father! Father! Can you hear ?...no response.’
Azes suddenly sprang up in anger and all his furs rose up like a normal cat would. ’Dammittt I have never felt so pwerless before in my life!!’
*****************
Reinard was sitting in front of the skeleton manager who was writing with a feather pen as he was asking him questions.
"...hmm, you ca to this dinsion when the gods brought others that... hm, hm, you were born in the dinsion called earth as you said but its weird, your origin speaks of elsewhere...sowhere I’ve never seen or heard of before... have you ever been reincarnated?"
"...No, I suppose... even if I have been reincarnated how will I know since I would have no mory of it"
"How weird... I find it very weird... I want to report this to the first floor manager but he’s busy clearing his floor"
Rein sat patiently in front of the skeleton as the skeleton manager talked to himself and kept writing sothing.
"When will I be able to go back?" Rein asked.
"You will go back soon, I have no right to hold you here, it’s against the rules of the abyss. I just find your anomaly a bit intriguing and thought maybe I should check if I can find anything on you. Apparently I just discovered many kill order have been placed on you by one particular god"
Rein smirked, ’I think I know who it is’, "So are you going to kill ?"
"No... the abyss has no obligation to fulfill orders from just one person, but if any demon take interest in the subject he or her can decide to do the job and receive the paynt"
"Wait demons?...I thought demons were locked sowhere in the central artic"
"...what are you talking about, those are just weak ones, ture demons such as greater demons or archdemons you can find them in the abyss or in hell."
"What is abyss, what is hell?"
"Abyss is the alternate, like a preface of hell... hell is...we’ll our ho, in abyss a lot of work goes on, like processing of human souls this and that, each floors have their responsibilities and kill orders can also be placed in the abyss, for a hefty amount though, that’s how we demons make a living... so if you ever want anyone dead, if you have an interesting price to pay, then you can find your way here."
"Wow" Rein exclaid.
"Okay... you are cleared" the skeleton dropped the feather pen. "You can leave now. Besides let
tell you, it’s going to be turmoil from now on"
"What do you an?" Rein asked.
"The Abyss recently released close to half the population of humans that were taken into the abyss for managent purposes. And different demons have used them in different ways so they are way stronger than you guys when you entered the world. If given so ti and opportunity. They would grow at a faster and trendous pace, but you don’t have to worry, not all of the have corrupted their souls except a very few who could not let go of their greed and reason of death, they could not repent."
"I see...thank you for the information" Rein bowed and walked but soon turn back, "ehm, excuse
sir where is the way back?"
"Do you want to form a contract with ?" The Abyss manager suddenly said.
"Huh?" Rein was surprised.
"I am not much, but I can atleast grant you the ability to use the dead as your army, with
you can control and army of dead and even have so inward abyss connection." The skeleton grinned.
"....uhh...we’ll whichever goes...as far as you can show
the way"
"Hmmm good" The skeleton stretched forth its hand, a purple magic circle appeared over it. "Now, place your hand over it"
Rein did as the skeleton asked and placed his hand on the circle, suddenly blood dropped from his hand and into the circle.
"I Sael, a fallen angel and now a full demon, the reaper of souls and the commander of the dead, pledge allegiance to...Reinard"
’Wow... a fallen angel?’ Rein was surprised when he heard.
Imdiately the circle spinned and disappeared.
’Wow... I can feel sothing being added to ’
{You have ford a contract with a demon, a fallen angel}
{Your authority has affected the contract}
’Oh...not again...’ Rein lanted.
{Fake body of Samael could not contain effect}
The skeleton began to break, "eh?! What is happening to my body?!...it seems to be breaking, the toy body I made." The skeleton looks at Rein, "let
send you out, we will et again anyways, I have to go back to my floor. This was just a part-ti gig" he slowly disappeared and Rein opened his eyes to his room again.
