Chapter 505
"Lucifer and I had some huge fights, but I managed to bring the kid to safety,"
Ronin recounted. "He was interesting; when he found me, he kowtowed and wanted to learn from me, but I didn't accept him. Even so, he was resilient, so I taught him some assassination skills and brought him on adventures with me."
"I decided not to kill the kid because he already had a grudge with his father, and he could become someone who could give a hard time to Lucifer. I also liked what he did to Lucifer, as his announcement shamed Lucifer even for some time."
"Just like that, we traveled for thousands of years, and his skills honed from every moment. He was a fast learner. He never managed to acquire skills from the sins, but he had a skill that only he possessed: he could convince and make others feel good when near him, and he had an intense amount of fate and luck."
"As we traveled, I wanted to teach him one of my ultimate moves before I left the Abyss. It required him to set his goals on killing and slaughter, but he rejected learning it and stuck to his principle and goal to bring peace to the Abyss someday. I gave up and felt pity for him, but I didn't stop him from pursuing his goals."
"Even though he was never accepted by me as my disciple, he was the only demon I felt was family since I was born, and I treated him as my son. I left him and didn't tell him where I went, knowing he had a bright future ahead of him. I didn't expect that he would now be creating an organization that sticks to his goals."
Ronin told the story to Dave, and he was amazed as he didn't expect the cold-blooded Ronin to have treated someone like a son in his previous life.
He became interested in that Shadow, and they will surely meet again in the future.
"What do you plan to do, my Lord?"
Gracik asked obediently, realizing Dave is the master of the Assassin King.
He didn't know why Dave was keeping him alive.
Dave smiled, then looked at Ronin and said, "Ronin, are you ready to revive your reputation in the Abyss?"
Ronin was stunned but immediately bowed and said, "As long as Master wishes, I will even sacrifice my life to get the heads of Demon Kings."
Ronin is very loyal to Dave and he can even sacrifice his life for his master.
Dave smiled and said, "You don't need to endanger yourself. After all, you are important to me. I just need you to infiltrate the Abyss and gather strength and those loyal to you so that if I decide to face the demon kings, I have some demons to fight for me."
Dave had already planned the future, and he needed to face the demon kings because right now, he only held half of the authority over the primordial sins, and to completely control it, he needed to extract it from them.
Ronin bowed and replied firmly, "As you wish, Master, give me a month and I can assure you will be satisfied."
Dave nodded and asked curiously, "By the way, how can you go back to Abyss?"
Dave knew that Gracik could easily go back to Abyss once he removed the sealing formation, but Ronin, on the other hand, did not have a way to go back to Abyss.
Ronin smiled and replied confidently, "To tell you the truth, Master, there are only a handful of beings who can enter and go out of the Abyss on their own without the use of a summoning portal. Their numbers can only be counted on fingers."
Dave smiled and said, "So you are one of them?"
Ronin nodded and replied, "Yes, Master. My soul was recognized by the Abyss, just like the demon kings, so I can enter and exit on my own will, like the 7 demon kings, without a time limit."
"Unlike demon lords who need to ask for permission from their kings to leave the Abyss, and they must return within a set time, or else their soul will be dragged back and might be injured as punishment."
Dave nodded, realizing that the Abyss is both a cage and a home for demons. They cannot remain outside forever because the Abyss will forcefully drag them back.
Demon Kings, however, can stay outside whenever they want.
"So who are the other 2?"
Dave was curious about the other two beings who shared the same authority as Ronin and the 7 Demon Kings.
"Two of them are among the oldest demons in the Abyss, much older than me, and they are from the same era as the demon kings. Both were disciples of the Demon God and they are known as the Queen of Curses and the Malevolent Queen."
"Out of the two, I have only met Megicula, the Queen of Curses, but I have never seen the Malevolent Queen," Ronin explained.
Dave was astonished, realizing that there was also a mysterious demon whom Ronin had never encountered.
Just from her title, it meant that she was a brutal and maniacal demon, yet she remained unseen by Ronin throughout his entire life.
Megicula, on the other hand, was known to Dave because of Freida, who was cursed by Megicula.
"Then it's decided. Once you enter the Abyss, I can sense your location and trace you anytime, opening a portal inside,"
Dave stated. "But I have other matters to attend to, so I leave everything to you. By the way, bring Kaigu with you because I see you are close," he added with a chuckle.
"Also, bring Gracik along, but if he tries anything unsavory, you have my permission to deal with him."
Dave knew that Kaigu harbored some fear of Ronin, but he wanted them to develop a close relationship for future harmony.
