"Listen carefully! Because this story will help you in the future!"
The story begins, as the wet hoarse voice begins to chant the words. There was also a fire that seemed to show what he was saying. Not just hearing the story, Ryuha was like watching a show.
"Thousands of years ago ... "
On a continent in the middle of the world. A continent that never gets direct sunlight. It is surrounded by four continents.
The place of the demons. No creature can enter the region safely other than the demons. Because the thick fog never tired around the place.
There are seven pillars, which can also be called the Demon Kingdom.
First pillar. The place also dubbed the Demon Empire was led by a king named Asmodeus. The strongest demon who led the seven pillars. Located in the middle of the continent.
Second pillar. The place guarding the southwest was led by the black-winged angel or fallen angel. Who is often called Lucifer. Also the only demon of Baal's trust.
The third pillar is where Baal stopped. It was located in the northeastern part of the demon continent. Unlike the other pillars, the place that has an area as big as the kingdom was only inhabited by Baal and some of his servants.
The fourth pillar guarding the southern region, guarded by a wind-controlling demon named, Mephisto. The place was in the middle of a violent tornado, which would blow away uninvited guests.
The fifth pillar is located in the northwestern continent. It is the place that has the lowest temperature. So low, creatures that enter the region will be immediately frozen by the temperature itself. Guarded by a named ice controller, Belial.
Sixth pillar. The place was assigned to guard the southeast sea. Guarded by a demon that has a body like a chimera, which has a name, Behemoth.
The seventh and final pillar. Guarded by a very genius demon. Both in theory and practice, especially in the field of forging. The devil's name is Abaddon. It is also the right hand of Asmodeus.
If connected using a straight line, it will form a hexagon star. Where it was a demon symbol that was famous throughout the continent.
Ryuha who heard it carefully until it gulped. His brows were slightly furrowed when he thought of something.
"If the seven demon lords have been sealed, then what is my purpose in coming there? Don't tell me just to take you home?!"
The deal made between them, Baal told Ryuha to go to the Demon Continent. But he didn't explain the details.
"That's one of them. But there's something else very important that you have to do in that gloomy place!"
There is an object, where it can be used by Ryuha to help him achieve his goal of changing the world.
"Then how do I get that thing? Awakening and then fighting the Demon Lords who were tens of thousands of years old? How can I beat them?"
One breath before Baal could explain. "I once said that the seven Demon Lords have been sealed into the cards. If you're lucky, you can get that thing without fighting them!"
"No-no. You said that time the ritual failed and instead sealed the angels!"
The ritual did not fail. Just because their offering was far from enough, the ritual did not just seal the seven Demon Lords. But also the eight Archangels who performed the ritual.
Ryuha's eyebrows are getting wrinkled. The seven Demon Lords were somehow in their present state, plus the eight Great Angels he had only heard of for the first time. His heart felt pessimistic at the thought of those sealed beings rising up.
"No need to worry! I never told you to do it as soon as possible! Slowly but surely. I'm sure you can do it in the future. Besides, I wish I could see it with my own two eyes."
Hearing him made the sense even more fade. The sadness in his heart faded after hearing the story of Baal.
"It's your turn now!"
Ryuha shook her head. "There's still one more thing I want to hear."
Know exactly what Ryuha meant. The story of the eight Archangels. Baal sighed and said with resignation. "alright. But after this tell me about yourself!"
The story begins, after a small nod from Ryuha.
The Sky Wings Empire, the place where the angels stopped. A floating place, like a floating island.
The place was only inhabited by white-winged humans, or commonly called Angels.
Unlike the demon race which determines the strength and power of the lifespan, the Angels determine their power and power from the many wings they have.
The more wings grew on their backs, the more exalted the angel was. And that applies to all angels, including newborn babies.
The leader of the Angels was then named, Seraphim. The only angel with six wings.
And seven other Archangels.
Velajuel, Gabriel, Selafiel, Eladriel, Uriel, Raphael, and Ariel.
Each of them has four pairs of wings.
The Sky Wings Empire, guarded by two legendary creatures, Freya and Uranus. An angel-made creature that has every shard of power eight Archangels.
"There's a way!"
"How's that?"
"By being a god himself!"
Laugh when you hear it. The snot boy seemed to be a god, how much time he had to spend.
Especially if he did not manage to become a god and the monsters were successfully resurrected, what to do.
But this was denied by Baal. He was sure, absolutely sure it would be realized by the man in front of him. It was because he could see into Ryuha's heart. His confidence and determination had already exceeded the limit. It was as if he was looking at another figure within it, other than himself.
But when he saw Ryuha's behavior, he felt confused. Whether Ryuha was just pretending, or the man was unaware of what was in the depths of his heart.
It made him even more curious about what Ryuha experienced before becoming a slave. Is there anything else that makes him not know the origin of his birth or indeed his parents who cover it perfectly.
Because if his guess is correct, Ryuha is not a creature that is only called a human.
One breath was heavy as Ryuha was about to tell a story. "My story is not interesting at all. Why do you want to hear it so seriously?"
"Hey-hey, what are you saying? Isn't it strange that your friend wants to hear your life story? Or don't you consider me a friend?!"
"Alright!"
Ryuha's story begins after a single breath.
The town where Ryuha lives. At an orphanage called Take Orphanage, a couple came to the place with a baby basket. It contained a baby boy who was still sound asleep.
The couple gave it to the orphanage owner. With some messages they left. Also a necklace with a gemstone as the hanger.
The baby boy grew up to be a cheerful, kind, and helpful man. With Take's name in front of him. And Ryuha's name was as the boy's parents had said.
Until he reached nine years old. There was a great war that destroyed the whole place.
Along with his adopted sister who also bears the family name Take, Take Rin. They went to find shelter.
Until they were separated by someone from the Temple of Light. He was kidnapped and made a slave. As for his sister, he had no idea of her whereabouts at all.
"So you know that already, don't you?"
Baal fell silent at the thought of his guess which did not miss. Until a loud call calling his name rang out in both ears made him come to a realization.
"Ryuha. Do you know your parents' identities?"
Just shaking your head. The owner of the orphanage always switched the conversation when Ryuha asked that.
Baal said inwardly, "It seems they don't want Ryuha to know about it. But ... "
In his present condition, Ryuha will soon find out about his true identity, even though Baal did not tell him.
"Ryuha. About your identity, I actually know a few things but, telling you now will only interfere with your cultivation. So I hope you focus on training first, until the day you're ready to know it's coming!"
Ryuha who heard him smiled then nodded his head. He fully believed what Baal had said. After all, he had already not thought about it during his time as a slave in the Temple of Light.
"Nahh Ryuha's. What if you grant me one small wish?"
"What's that?"
Baal is eager to see Ryuha as a jolly and laughing man. Therefore, he told Ryuha to throw away her cold and reserved nature.
Ryuha himself did not know why. When he first met Baal, his heart seemed to feel no sadness at all. Like Baal's fire melted his frozen heart. That is what makes him never act cold when he is with Baal.
"OKAY. But I want you to promise me one thing."
"What's that?" Baal was filled with curiosity.
With a small smile etched on her face, Ryuha said carefully. "Please promise not to leave me alone."
Laugh when you hear it. "How do I leave you?"
"heehhh. Could you change your mind and kill me?!"
Joking around all night. Waiting for the arrival of the sun that will be the beginning of their new journey.
