Meanwhile, in the Overworld, solemnity and apprehension filled the atmosphere. Inside the majestic hall was a figure seated upon a throne.
The man on the throne had an air and sense of authority that demanded respect. His overall persona bore witness to the years spent as a leader.
"You are saying that the gates are going to open?" The man said as he thoughtfully tapped the armrest of his throne. His eyes conveyed sharpness as he stared at the man before him.
"Indeed, My Lord, On the 3rd of June, the Demon parade will commence," Another man replied as he knelt on the ground. His eyes had a mix of emotions lying in them: respect, fear, Admiration, and so on.
"I see. Have the preparations ready for the upcoming event; there shall be no inconveniences," The man on the throne said with a sigh as his eyes narrowed.
His mind raced with thoughts of what was to come. The future was unpredictable and filled with danger. For a thousand years, they had been waiting for this moment.
And even after a thousand years, nothing could be said with absolute guarantee.
This was because he was one of those who knew what happened Eons ago…
As all of this was happening, Rafael was sitting inside his cell. Sweat soaked his clothes as he took a sigh of relief.
"Finally, Goddamit, this took a long time", Rafael muttered under his breath as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
[Host has crafted another skill]
[Host gets more experienced…]
A grin flashed across his face as he looked at the floating text in front of him.
[Skill Tab]
[Dimensional Creation -> Level -> 3]
[Soul Devourer -> Level -> 1]
[Unholy Counter -> Level -> 1]
[Erase -> Level -> 1]
For the past week, Rafael had done nothing except learn how to use [Dimensional Creation].
And finally, he had understood it to its fullest potential…
'It is basically a set of patterns that creates a route for Essence. Since I have immortal Essence, I can make this even more complex!'
Rafael thought as a flood of ideas came crashing into his mind. The amount of potential that [Dimensional Creation] had was absolutely insane.
However, as there were pros, there were also cons. Since [Dimensional Creation] uses Essence from the user. Henceforth, It also depends on how strong the user is.
For example, if someone is strong enough to use this, he or she will obviously have a better quality of essence. Therefore, the essence they would use for the skill would result in the skill being much better than someone weak.
The same was the case for Rafael.
However, at the very least…
Rafael could go on a massacre. Killing to his heart's content.
'CREEK!'
The gates to the cell in which Rafael was present were opened, and behind the gate was a black demon who had the duty to torture Rafael every now and then.
"The watchkeeper summons you."
--------------------------------
As Rafael was being escorted, his mind was getting filled with many ideas on how to escape.
'If I am correct, to the left turn here, would be the battle grounds where these guys fight. On the other hand, on right side is the meeting room of commanders and watchkeepers.'
Rafael observed every single detail intently. His eyes were moving here and there engraving every single detail that could prove to be useful.
'BAM!'
Rafael smashed against the wall as the black demon looked towards him.
"Sorry, I fell" Rafael said that as the black demon nodded and went on with the escort.
'As expected, the walls are double layered and there's no room whatsoever for escape using these walls to my advantage'
Couple of minutes later, Rafael finally reached the end of the hall, In front of 2 giant gates.
'CREEK'
The gate opened as the watchkeeper along with the 10 commanders sitting on their throne came into view.
'BANG!'
Suddenly, the black demon punched the chains holding Rafael. Consequently, breaking them.
"Huh?"
Rafael accidentally blurted out as he stretched himself.
"Sit and listen. If I hear a single word of question from you. You can expect yourself to be killed"
-------------------------------------------------
A couple of minutes had passed since Rafael had been explained everything.
"So basically I am to lead other inmates to be sacrificed In front of your enemies?" Rafael said as he frowned.
"Not sacrificed. You will not die. It's just you will just go through some pain. We will give you a single day of no torture If you agree. After all, you are the only sane prisoner here" the watchkeeper said he placed one of his legs on the other.
'They want to use me as bait.' Rafael thought as he nodded.
As Rafael left the room with the black demon. A wave of bloodlust came forward as a devious and devillish grin start to cover his face.
'I wonder... Who will save you now? Watchkeeper.'
