After some time, I too fell for no reason since I felt weird being the only one standing but by that time, he had resealed his symbols and everyone had started to get up so I guess I was quite late. He had knowingly unleashed his aura such that only his daughter wouldn't be affected while even his servant was affected.
My mum pretended like it had never happened. She instantly patted me on my back and said "well lucky you for not having any form of energy but you did fall at the end so that's gonna add to your training. Your physical will and power is immensely lacking but I'll beat It into you." And she said all that with a devilish smile across her face and I bit back a curse.
When my brothers got up, they were beaten down by mother again and chewed out for being unable to stand even a little while my father performed first aid on them. Strangely my father seemed to be perfect at such work like cooking, cleaning, sewing, first aid and whatnot.
Even the maids and the butler seemed to consider him as a god even though they're from the Drachion family. He seemed to have more than he showed but at the moment he was the father everyone loved including my mother(shocking).
The demon king now back in his black cat form with red polka dots said "well let me give you your official birthday gift but before that lemme say this. Now that you have kissed my daughter, you have two choices she will hunt you to the ends of the Earth or you will have to marry her. Of course, all of this is if she regains consciousness and if she doesn't then you'll be dead by that time and your mother won't be there to stop it. But I hope she wakes up. Also here take this." As he swiped at the air, a box wrapped up like a present fell from nothing onto my lap.
As I opened it, I found that it was a piece of paper. It had written "Origin peninsula: Trials". At once I knew what was given to me, a death sentence to others but what I saw was an opportunity. These trials were set up by the ancients even before my past life and had persisted till now. Those that went through with the Trial would either gain immeasurable power or they'd be left to die. Most of the time, prisoners were sent there as a punishment knowing they were destined to die.
Now I was elated to the point where I started jumping where I stood like a damn bunny which was weird to even me. But I stopped coughed and then thanked the demon king. My mother had this worried look across her face which was also a first. But when she knew I was watching her, she smiled and said "you are allowed there only when u can master your physical prowess and are able to defeat either of your brothers. But I truthfully hope you can conquer the islands which I know you can. But I guess this just means more training for you."
I knew the ticket spelt trouble but at the same time I knew what was waiting for me since I had already finished them once and had left something I desperately need now.
My brothers obviously didn't know what the ticket was but my father had this expression across his face which screamed danger. His bloodlust was like nothing I'd ever faced before even in battle before my reincarnation. Then I realized I had actually faced such bloodlust once. It was one of the only times I had lost and not against an army, it was when I had controlled the field but it was razed with all my soldiers losing their life except me, an angel. Specifically, the angel of Purity from the 7 virtues of the angels.
These angels created by the current gods countered the devils created by the Origin entity. It was such that each of the 7 deadly sins were countered by a virtue. My soldiers were judged impure and with a single sweep from his War scythe, like crops ready for harvest heads flew with a black ball extracted itself from the bodies and he ate it like it was a tree full of fruit ripe for the picking. Somehow, I seemed to not have died and had my soul along with my head intact.
I was shocked beyond comparison at this sight before me, a battlefield with no winners and purely blood flowing quite literally like a river. The shivers it gave me was incomparable but my father excluded that same bloodlust as if he were a starving beast but he quickly retracted it and came to me and kissed me on my head and said "whatever you decide to do, you will have to win it. If you do decide to attempt the trials of origin, then you will only come back after you finish all of them. And you will go as your mother said, only after you can master whatever you're training in. but do come back safely when you return and try not to die." He said that and returned back to my mother's side. These words were something I had never heard from my father's mouth but I decided to keep them and heart and when I did go, I'd have to steel my nerves for whatever was going to happen there.
By the time it had taken me to digest all that had happened, the guests had left, the demon king stood near his servant and daughter and vanished through a chocolate-colored portal which showing me a thumbs up in his cat form. Our house was basically in shambles with the ceiling broken and splotches of dirt dust and whatnot everywhere. My mother looked at me and smiled a wide grin like that of the very devil and said "if you don't rebuild this house within 3 days, well no food for a week, this is also training so you will not be allowed to use any of that weird energy u got". I was completely exhausted so I couldn't say no or even question it, not that I would but I went up the stairs back to my room and fell down on the bed knowing that my future is about to get very very very very hard.
