The Hero of the Shadow
Chapter 5 Part 7 "Old Enemies Coming Back "

Currently in front of Ace has appeared a mysterious man who claimed to be One of the Black Number.

The appearance of this man is so mysterious even very sudden because even the people in the place are barely able to feel the air of his existence until the man issued his threat.

Ace who gradually began to recover from his injuries who had previously started to install his standby position and prepared to attack the man who claimed to be a person named Mephisto.

Mephisto then said "No need to be so alert, you must know in your present condition that you cannot possibly defeat me, Noir "by looking at Ace with a look of pity.

Ace who heard that then put on a troubled face while looking at Mephisto.

In his heart Ace said "It is true that it is impossible for me to defeat him even with the help of Griselda and Ophis that I am still very difficult to defeat him " very careful of Mephisto.

But then Ace realized something that is Mephisto who calls himself as Noir which is another name that he often uses as long as he is still active as the Shadow Hero.

Ace then asked "How did you know I was Noir? " with a sharp look towards Mephisto.

Mephisto then smiled and said " You may have forgotten this me or even you haven't seen my form so you don't know it but I'm telling you that we've met before even you've almost fought with I was "in a nostalgic tone.

Ace then began to think about something and finally remembered a figure that Ace hated so much that his face suddenly turned into a face full of anger.

" I've remembered it, it turns out that it was you, O Apostel of Demon God", with a face full of anger.

" Bingo, you're right, I introduce once again My name is Mephistopheles "Apostel of Demon God "The Devil who killed Celis Brianna the Strongest Warrior five hundred years ago " with such a respect and such a sly tone.

Hearing that Ace became very angry.

Ace then recalled an incident in the past.

A long time before Ace was known as the Hero of the Shadow, Ace was suddenly taken care of by a mysterious man.

The man claimed to be a friend of Ace's father in the past.

The man is very good against Ace and sometimes the man is very firm against Ace.

The man is a person who is strong enough that the man is a person who is quite famous at that time.

The man was named Celis Brianna who is the Strongest Warrior and Ancestor of the Brianna Family.

The man then became a mentor as well as a role model from Ace because the man was so extraordinary according to Ace.

After going through a long time together, a great war began to rage so fiercely that Celis was forced to go to the battlefield together with Ace who at that time had become quite strong.

Celis would not or should fight against the 4 Strongest Subordinates of the Demon King.

Until finally, Celis also managed to defeat the four by going through a very fierce fight.

When Celis was very badly injured.

Suddenly, a Devil who claimed to be the "Apostle of Demon God", who then fought with Celis.

Due to the injured Celis and her opponent who was too strong finally, Celis was finally defeated to death.

Ace who had just arrived at the place had to see Celis killed in front of him.

Because of that Ace then intends to oppose the Devil.

But the devil ignored that and said " I'll fight you son if you're strong enough to do that for now you just need to know that the person who killed the person you admire the most is myself the Devil known as " The Apostel of Demon God "with a smile and disappeared.

Seeing this Ace then becomes determined to avenge Celis and kill the Devil.

Finally, the moment had arrived before Ace now reappeared the Devil he had been looking for.

Ace then said, "Let's here you are, Mephisto " very angrily and attacked Mephisto with his sword of light.

But the attack was easily repelled by Mephisto using only two fingers of his own.

Ace looked at Mephisto with a hateful gaze while adding pressure to his sword.

The fight began.
