" So it wasn't our supreme elder back then, who saved my life from that mad man's rage. Can this mark know the name of my savior.
Did that powerhouse belongs to some other major forces in the floor besides our flame glory family. "
Mark got his answer earlier that, it wasn't the powerhouse standing before him, supreme elder farthur, who saved his back when all other people were stay put their hands and watched the tyranny of wilhelm's grand father.
But contrary to his expectations, Supreme elder shook his head, stating that it wasn't either them, that saved his soul.
Since mark was already groomed under flame glory family, and also received the status of an elder. He's now a core members of the flame glory's younger generation.
If there was a chance, the other forces would rather kill him, than saving his a*s. They all had seen the performance of mark on the stage, which left a huge impact on them
Even those old monsters from the supreme forces got tempted to take mark under their tutelage, too bad he's already groomed by flame glory family, they had to sigh and watch him get bullied by Cole family's supreme elder.
Since they couldn't get him under their arsenal, why would they bother offending the supreme elder of cole family for nothing
If mark really dies, there would be one less competitor for the resources on the floor and also one less competitor for supremacy in future, when he matures.
Mark had also understood this fact, but still want to confirm that, he later exclaimed " Supreme elder, since it wasn't them, then which powerhouse on this floor could possibly oppose him, I don't want to make some wild guesses but could to state his name, he probably couldn't be some hidden hermit right. "
Mark did not want to beat around the bush, and asked farthur to reveal his saviors name. He was always righteous, repaying others for their deeds. Since they protected his life, he could one day repay their favor in some other ways possible for him.
" Young boy, though his name is not known to me, he's well known in the areas of arena and goes around by the title of keepers. Does that rings any bell to your brain. "
" Keepers... Supreme elder! You mean the one's Incharge of maintaining the order on the arena.
I thought they appear only the times, when a major disturbance occurs in arena, a catastrophic one which couldn't be controlled by the personnels present over there. "
Keepers were not free to manage every minor disturbances occurring in the arena. certain staffs and personnel are stationed for that precise purpose.
If things goes out of control and the rules are also broken or bended at the abusers will, they would make their appearance to bring the situation back to normal.
" That old fool, who told him to directly struck his might over the platform. So this was why systems insisted me to keep provoking him. Had he snapped and attacked under impulse, a keeper would be present to block his way and chase him.
Haha... that old fool, he ran away. It would had been a noteworthy scene to be spectated, che.. I missed it. But still what would his reaction be, if he were to find his brilliant grandson turned into a slave. " mark had sneered in his mind.
Mark turned his head towards supreme elder, to ask his next question. " Could I know, how did your men managed to bring my body to your place and treated my injuries later, while I was lying over the 15 th floor, unconscious, taking my final breaths after intense battle. "
He knows that some young miss of flame glory family had brought him to the 21st floor, but don't know how.
There was restriction imposed in the dungeon monsters. No matter how strong a dungeon resident may be, he could never descend down the floor, he was once locked before.
Comming down to 15 th floor which was 6 layers below the present was not a possible feat, if they could reach 15 th floor, easily, couldn't they even escape out of dungeon and live on the main land. Who in the world could stop their advance by then. Once they set their eyes on the rich resources of the main land, it would be doomed to be plundered by them.
" I will tell that shortly but, young boy could you answer a simple question for this seat. This seat had a hunch, doesn't know weather my assumption that is true or not. Young boy did you came from the vast mainland land? Are you an outsider? "
Since there's no use in hiding it from him, mark made a nod, confirming his speculation.
" Then according to your point of view, what would your call this world, a dungeon. Comparing each of its preceding layer to a floor. And as you ascend to the highest layer, you could challenge the master and obtain his seat, becoming the next master himself.
According to your historians, this place is a damn jail, locking up with demons which had betrayed their masters trust during the chaotic ancient period. But the actual theory, it's quite different from their imagination.
Do you really think that, we demons could eat a person's soul? Even a young demon, such as our little mark could answer to it. It's obviously a no!
Thought they are not entirely wrong with their hypothesis, stating that we are locked, and unable to exit this place, like a dungeon. But not all such worlds are dungeon and not all such dungeons could support that theorem.
Stroking his chin for a couple of times, he. frowned for a bit. Farthur turning his head towards mark, exclaimed with a bit of seriousness on his face, stating " Young boy, the things I am about to say are core secrets of our world, that is your so called dungeon.
Unless you're an emperor class powerhouse or an exceptional genius, which this small world couldn't hold. We give this information to them, helping them in their path of cultivation.
But still... we are restricted to share that knowledge with the unqualified. Unless the qualified ones mentioned before, took a soul vow, under their demon god's name, we are restricted to slip out the content.
To preserve the classified information to themselves, or pass it to the eligible ones, that's our rule, Unless they wanted to cripple their cultivation along with their soul, they would be foolish to publicize it.
You still have the option to turn back on this and pretend noting ever took place between us. But if you think that external rumors are true, you are truly a frog living in the well, that is ignorant of the events played behind the scenes. "
Farthur's words had resonated deep into his mind," as expected, the world only uses the fake information to keep the masses in check."
" The consequences for violating the vow are baised against the user. Had they by instant, slip the words out, through their mouths. The consequences would turn them into a retard, by damaging the soul, along with crippling their cultivation to become waste. Isnt death better alternative to it.
But mark was a human to begin with, does using demon god's vow work in him, even the powers integrated into his blood were provided by system, an external source.
" Take a demon's soul vow! Is that even possible. I am just a human, who had the ability to disguise a demon under the previlages provided by the system. "
Even at the times when razor had taken this vow to get mark's trust. There wasn't any noticeable changes spotted on him to confirm him undergoing that taboo.
Mark had followed farthur's words and took the soul vow under the demon god of succubus race, the great Aphrolilith, a nine horned ancient succubus, the mother of all succubus and incubus varieties.
For a moment no changes could be sensed by mark, in his body. " Hah... I was worried for nothing " But following that, mark had abruptly collapsed on the floor with a nerve wrecking pain, which could be felt all over his body. Particularly in the regions of his mana core, the reserves of mana and also between the areas of brows where soul was located.
It only lasted for a couple of seconds, but felt like days had passed away for our mark, who was under that intense pain.
After that unforgettable sensation, he still could not find any noticeable changes applied to his body, everything looks same as earlier, as of the event occurred was a mere illusion, which passed away shortly.
" Why had razor not experienced this nerve wrecking pain earlier? Is nagadeva more lenient than aphrolilith! Or is it because I had impersonated her race through system, and recieved a mild warning from her bloodline, or every single one that had vowed had to go through this process and hence labelled it a taboo, then razor may either had a high tolerance towards pain or he made a false vow to trick me! Bastard I'll get him later! "
Though every thing had turned back to normal, a blue colour radiance enveloped mark. His hidden succubus features were slowly started to expose in front of supreme elder.
Three blue colour horns erupted at once, one on both sides of temple away from the center where the third one was located.
A long slender black colour tail, whose width was slightly thicker to a finger, which also lengthens more than three meters was revealed out, from his back, with a spade like ending over it's tip, with a whip like appearance.
Its tip was colored with blue color, with a mild blue coloured flame emitting over the latter part of its course. Mark was able to control his new born tail as if he was born to begin with it.
His initial small nails had grown longer, extending a few centimeters outwards than before. His skin became more smoother than earlier, slightly different compared to how it used to be.
His face turned more refined and elegant, if mark had become a tad bit matured, he would definitely be titled a lady killer with his killing appearance, making beauties fall under his charm.
" Ah! " Supreme elder who was always composed, became startled all of a sudden.
For his knowledge a three horned succubus weighted an equal status, comparable with a six fanged lamia, as displayed in razor.
But what are the chances for an incubus to be three horned. Even for hundreds of three horned succubus to be born, only a single incubus of same bloodline concentration would appear.
If a succubus of three horned were to copulate with an incubus of three horned, the chances for their progeny to be born a three horned would be one in every two offspring, and the unlucky one would be a two horned at the least and a strong one at that.
He farthur had anticipated mark to be an one horned incubus or two horned at best. But the thundering revelation of three horned, which was same as he have had excited him.
For farthur, mark had not undergone bloodline awakening, a sacred ritual to the demons. In that process the powers are increased, the aptitude in cultivation is raised, sometimes the bloodline becomes thicker.
The revelation of three horn was just enough to make him anxious, but what startled him the most was mark's face which looked familiar to him. He involuntary exclaimed out " Young boy, could this seat know the name of your parents. "
If mark could he born a three horned, then the child's father bloodline had to be a minimum of three horns, which could give birth to person like mark, farthur was sure that he might had heard their names, since there were not many such three horned incubus to begin with.
Mark was expecting the supreme elder to ask either about his fake bloodline in case he was found out or his three horns that looked attractive to ones eye. But what about parents name, why did he ask as such?
Wait, could it be that, my external facial appearance also changed to some random character, along with these horns and pointy tail.
" Parents! " I couldn't say that I belong to family of white, Kaiser warned me for that, I need to make up some half arsed lied that is believable.
" Uh... my parents... actually this young master doesn't remember his birth parents... i was separated from them when I was just an infant. "
" Hope this old cliched excuse works out " mark frowned within his heart.
Supreme elder glared on mark's face for a moment, turning his composure back to normal and said " Pardon me for that rashness earlier. "
He looked at the painful expression of mark and exclaimed " You may be wondering as to why, you had felt that extreme nerve wrecking pain in your core regions right.
Well taking a vow is called taboo for a reason. Unless a person successfully awaken his true bloodline in the awakening ceremony, within the age period of eight. He couldn't form a link to our demon god Aphrolilith. That pain earlier was your proof of linkage to out great god, an another way to show your existence to our great god, by making soul vow.
Young boy mark, since your horns are still blue doesn't that mean you are still not yet awakened your powers, why don't this seat arrange a proper set up for you in the comming day of awakening ritual. "
" Awakening ceremony! " Mark was startled but frowned immediately " This time a bloodline awakening, well it's better to get the hell out of this damn dungeon, after getting some valuable information, I am sinking into deep trouble at my first day outside, who knows what other troubles are lined up over my head.
But if this fake bloodline could not be identified even by the great god's will, couldn't that mean I could even awaken the hidden bloodline line powers of it. It's worth a shot, if I increased my incubus powers I could very well fight against higher realm experts easily. "
Mark was excited but worried as the same time, if everything went well he could obtain a new trump card but if something goes wrong he could very well lose his life. But after pondering for a minute he decides to pick supreme elders offer, but still there was a month to go, since there was nothing much to do, he started listening to secrets exclaimed by farthur, almost every thing exclaimed by him were too class classified information, each one had almost startled him to doubt the dungeons purpose.
