"Yes, it's also nice to see you again after three years."
"!!!"
I shuddered as I heard Emerald's words.... Being in a domain three years? I don't know how long I lasted exactly, but it wasn't even close to 3 years, that means Lord Chaos greatly modified the time, much more than I thought.
I lost three years of my life just like that, sure it was an amazing experience to make me stronger, but still three years was too much.
'Well, all good things have their bad things.'
'Although, I escaped death enough times to get that good thing...' I thought, again scowling at Emerald and the Baron.
Then, something clicked in my mind again, something I completely overlooked and as I noticed it, my shocked expression turned to disbelief.
"Wait... Wait... Baron Crimson, right? You said he was a Founder and Clan Leader? Is that true?" I spoke in a shaky voice and even stuttered a little, such important information I had overlooked because of so many revelations in a short period of time.
Also the change of environment so suddenly possibly influenced my mind a bit, deteriorating the a bit, such a change from killing that seemed to have no end to conversing quietly is a very big change if done suddenly.
Still, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to ask such a thing now, but I wouldn't let it show to my face.
After a few minutes of silence where the Baron went into his thoughts deeply, he finally answered:
"Yes, you are the Founder and Leader of the Crimson Clan, you gave it the name Ascended Clan since you plan to Ascend from rank to rank until you are the most important and strongest of the Clans" I continued.
"Let me tell you, we used to be almost at the Imperial Clan level, even though we had very few members, they were all terrifyingly powerful, look at Emerald and me for example, you and us are the last survivors of the Clan" He stated staring at me with the only eye I can see.
The truth was very, very very surprised, I didn't let it show on the outside as I was protecting him with an indifferent face, but he was currently frozen in shock.
I remember being one of the Princes of an Imperial Clan, the Zinnober Clan, possibly I was the Crown Prince although I don't remember completely.
And yet, do I create a Clan all by myself, when, why, many questions arose in my mind, but one thing I knew, not one of these sons of bitches in front of me were going to answer any of them, even Emerald had a smirk on his face as if knowing the conflict I was having.
"Ma- I mean, Lord Kamael Von Crimson, I swear to you that at least I didn't hide this from you because I want to, if I'm honest I would tell you everything now, but I do this for your own good, believe me when I tell you that if you recover your memories right now, neither you, nor me, nor anyone, knows what can happen" Spoke the Baron with a totally serious voice and even full of wisdom, although he had been a little nervous at first, he finished his words with a strong statement.
I have to admit that he is somewhat right, even I myself am afraid of recovering my memories, I don't know why, but that fear is just as primitive as when I saw the Mass of darkness outside the Isle of Testing.
Of course, I just met him, I wasn't going to believe him right away that he wants the best for me, I just lived through the betrayal of a King, I don't want my own subordinate to betray me, so I made a secret agreement to seek as much information as possible within my reach.
"Well, it's a lot of things, I just came back from almost dying dozens of times in a Test, why the hell don't you let me rest for a moment? My teacher apparently is my subordinate, he believes in Clan who knows when, my name is Crimson or at least that's my nickname, apparently they massacred my Clan.... LET ME REST DAMN IT!" Rugi furious, he was really pissed off now.... Don't they have any consideration for their Leader? This is just too much.
Another thing I noticed is that apparently I tend to change my personality a lot several times and this was no exception, I was annoyed to the bone, even Emerald and the Baron seemed surprised by my sudden outburst.
They both bowed, I could even see a bit of fear in their eyes, but I didn't care, I turned around to go back into the cabin without saying anything, not a word and went straight to pick up my weapon, Duranvil, and then went upstairs.
I went straight to my room or what I called my bedroom, putting my new Duranvil in a corner.
I lay down on the bed, I wasn't going to sleep, no, I was going to think.
After all, I need strength, it was a need ingrained in my being to want more and more power, Emerald and the Baron can help me become stronger, but I want something else more....
'See the world'
Yes, see the world, not for sightseeing or anything like that, simply because around Ahilon there must be creatures of the same level as me, more powerful and more levels, but what I need is one that is at my same level or a bit stronger.
Fighting someone much stronger while training is good training, but fighting someone at your same level or a little better is even more beneficial, after all Emerald and the Baron are going to hold back from doing too much damage to me and that's a problem.
And as Emerald said, my Physical is very complex and powerful, I will take in time to perfectly control 4% of the Abyss, which is what they gave me, 1% of The Shadow, another 1% of the King and 2% the reward for finishing the first phase of the Test.
I also have Gravity, I have less information and it is also less difficult than the Abyss, but it is still one of the laws, it is natural that it is difficult to learn it and I will not be an exception.
"Yes... So I will..." Sleep was gaining my body, so I gradually fell asleep in my
room.
