Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Death and Life

Princess lily made her way into the base of the Crimson lion company, a few days after being suspended from participating in anything that involves hunting demons by her father who has been worried about her.

The moment she walked into the base of the crimson lion company!!

Anna ran towards her, hugging princess lily with smiles on her face, she has been worried sick since the disappearance of rincess lily, princess lily smiled calmly after welcoming the warm hug of anna.

"Princess.... Welcome back to the crimson Lion company, we have all been worried sick about you ever since the day you got taken by that one horned demon " anna spoke out while almost crying.

" It's alright anna....You don't have to cry or feel sorry about me, I was put in that position because I was weak that's all, If I was a big stronger....I wouldn't have been treated that way so I strive to become stronger " princess lily said while smiling.

" Look who is here, princess lily we are all glad to see you back with us " Harold spoke out with smiles on his face, standing besides him we're pedro and silas who were members of the new recruits.

" Thank you harold, where is the captain? " Princess lily asked.

" He went for a meeting with the heads of the demon Hunting corps, It's because of you that captain rudeus is now treated with honor and respect, He really is rising in ranks now " harold said when he giggled softly.

" I was worried about you guys when I got taken by that single horned demon but when I learnt that you guys defeated the five marker demon, I was excited.....captain rudeus is strong " princess lily said.

" Yes of course captain rudeus is strong.....he is the one who will be taken the battle suit created from the five marker demon as a gift from the emperor since he is taking good care of you " harold answered.

" Wassup princess lily, could you gist us about your ordeal with that horned demon? " Silas asked!

" Ah yes thanks for bringing that up silas, I was curious to know what happened when you got taken by this single horned demon, did she torture you? " Pedro asked with smiles on his face when princess lily smiled.

" Yes she did....she kept talking about having the same auras as the sovereigns or something like that, she was about to devour me when I got saved by the one I could never wish to save me " princess lily answered.

" Oh? And who was that? " The voice of gabriel was heard when he made his way into the scene, attracted by her tales....He wanted to know who is the man that saved the princess from being eaten.

" That bastard, the deathmaker!! " Princess lily answered with a frown!

" Oh? So the deathmaker was secretly watching our battle huh? I guess we disappointed him but what exactly happened? Did he killed the single horned demon or what? " Gabriel asked with his hands tucked in his pocket.

" Yes.....He killed the sinngle horned demon himself " princess lily answered.

" Wow, now I see how the deathmaker was able to break out of Lyxx and escape the Vermax empire all by himself without any help, a single horned demon are considered monsters of great evil "

" And not to talk about an elemental type demon, a wind elemental type demon that could easily destroy a city with her wind, He killed that demon all by himself? That's quite a suprise " harold spoke out..

" He may be strong harold but the one who will keep him will be me, and For that to happen, I have to get strong to stand against him " princess lily said with a loud sigh when captain rudeus made his way into the scene.

" Princess lily, I was suprised when I heard that the emperor has released you back into training and hunting, I'm glad to see you have returned back to the Company " captain rudeus said with smiles on his face.

" Captain rudeus.....I'm glad to see you are here already, I was already missing my mentor so much " princess lily said with smiles on her face when captain rudeus smirked brightly, he is happy.

" My huntsmen must have told you already that I went for a meeting with the higher Ops after getting recognition, There are things that was discussed in this meeting that is still a shock to me " captain rudeus said.

" And what may that be? Captain? " Harold gently asked.

" Currently, There are secret dustributions and trade of something that should never exist, The demon fruits....They are demonic fruits eaten by desperate men to gain powers similar to demons although they are humans "

" But little by little, they will give into the demonic instincts and will become savages, It was reported that the one who was covering this demon Fruits trade was memphis zaichi but now that he is Assasinated "

" The Secrets of the demon Fruits is becoming known " captain rudeus spoke out.

" Demon fruits? Who are those responsible for the creation of this demon fruits? " Princess lily asked when captain rudeus took a deep breath and he sighed, He calmly walked passed her and into the building.

" We have no idea who are behind this demon fruits but even the xommoners are now buying this demon fruits to protect themselves, Soon they won't be needing guntsmen to fight for them "

" Whoever is playing this game.....They have ulterior motives and we must Investigate this matter, But I can't endanger the life of the princess and my students " Captain rudeus said when he sighed.

" Captain, If the empire loses its power through the huntsmen.....We will be lose grip and those commoners who has devoured the demon fruits will start to revolt against us, and it will be a great war "

" We have to stop whoever is planning this Captain rudeus " princess lily spoke out when Captain rudeus sighed softly!!

" Tell that to your father, But for now.....You have to train your battle suit and to draw out more powers from your White Core, Focus on your training....princess " captain rudeus said when he walked away.

Location: Bloody Tower

The Bloody Tower, a domain sacred in the Assasin guild because it is the home of the Chief, the leader of the Assasin guild, and one cannot go into the Bloody tower without being summoned by the Chief.

Entering the bloody tower uninvited is punishable by death but there is only one who can enter the bloody tower without facing such consequences, the one who is favored by the chief himself.

Rey Castle grinned evily when he entered into the bloody tower uninvited.

Not even the guards could stop him with their mights when he ran into the bloody tower, passing through all the corners and climbing the stairs while heading towards the highest floor of the tower.

Rey Castle is seen dressed in black leather jacket while holding two bottles on wine on his hand, He arrived at the last floor of the bloody tower when he glanced at the only door on the last floor.

A floor without any guards or assasins positioned to guard there!

Rey Castle made his way towards the door when he gently opened the door, He made his way into the grand room to see the Chief sitted on the ground with his legs crossed, The Knight of Destruction....Lord Benjin Castle.

" Good moorning father, It seems you are still focused on your meditation huh? I bring thee gifts " Rey Castle spoke out with smiles on his face when the chief slowly opened his eyes when he glanced at rey castle.

" Rey? You know that walking in uninvited is punishable by death right? " The chief asked..

" Yh I'm aware of that but I ain't dead right? I've been entering here uninvited but I am not dead yet, and besides there is something I would like to discuss with you, can you spare me sometime? " Rey asked.

" Very well then, toss me the wine " The Chief spoke out when Rey threw one of the wine bottles and the Chief caught the bottle, he gently opened up the bottle while he remained relaxed on the ground.

" Hmmmmm, quality wine....So tell me, why are you here Rey? " Lord benjin calmly asked with a smile on his face, amongst his Children....there are only three who are considered his favorites in the House Castle.

His first born child, Luna Castle, his seventh born child....Mary Castle and the last of his children, although adopted by Lord benjin castle himself, rey Castle who is the S-Class Assasin of the Assasin guild.

" I'm certain you have heard of the demon fruits right? It seems memphis zaichi was the one hiding the trade of the femon fruits and killing him exposed the demon fruits and it is becoming global "

" Those who are producing the demon fruits are benefiting even more but it's not about the money, It's about the control.... Although they remain human, those who devour the demon fruit gain powers close to demons "

" They will slowly lose their humanities and become savages, this fruits are also produced through the means of Qi Technology but with another formula, aside the fact that you are an ally of my father, Baylor Yama.....Lord of the baylor clan before the baylor Slaughter Incident, Who were partners with the vaylor clan? " Rey calmly asked.

" Hmmm, Let me see.....The baylor clan were quite Introverted so I was their only known partners and allies that's why I sent for my help but I arrived too late to save them but there was one " The Chief answered.

" There was one? Who? " Rey Castle asked.

" A Man who was friends with your mother, Your mother lyanna was a mage whose skill and her magics created the Qi technology, but her friend was also a mage, he was the only one close to her back then " lord benjin castle said.

" Does he have a name? " Rey castle asked.

" Yes ofcourse he has a name but I have forgotten, Your father mentioned his name once to me but that was Twenty Years ago before even the baylor slaughter Incident so I may have forgotten his name "

" But I was always suspicious about him because he emitted darkness, he may be the one who has the formula of creating the demon fruits but even I would have forgotten what his face looked like "

Lord benjin castle said with smiles on his face when he drank from his wine bottle, although he acts calm and childish with Rey but when it comes to battle and killing his enemies, he is one of the most cruel beings to ever exist.

A man who the sovereigns sends as punishment to the one who offends them!!

" Rey, I was told you killed another Single horned demon right? A wind type horned demon which is ranked as calamity class, Is that the reason why you awakened another skill? " Lord benjin asked when Rey grinned evily.

" So you noticed huh? " Rey castle asked.

" Ofcourse I did, I know what skills are and who awakened one, but the fact that you greedily merged the wind horned demon with your battle suit to create an even more powerful battle suit, I'm proud of you " lord benjin said with smiles on his face.

" Thanks father...through my mastery of my wind element and my lightning element from my battle suit, I awakened two skills at the same time, It seems they were synchronized and awakened at the same time "

[ The Wind Stellar: A skill awakened from the mastery of the wind element from the Single horned demon, The Wind scorched queen medrida, It's grants the user the ability of full wind force ]

[ The Wrath of Lightning: A skill awakened from the mastery of the lightning element from the Single horned demon, The lighting king adolf.....It grants the user the ability to full control lightning without restrictions ]

" He-he-he-he, so you possesses two elemental skills huh? What a lucky kid you truly are Rey, but you should understand that this is merely the beginning, whoever the dark mage that created the demon fruits "

" He has his own plans but what if he is involved in the Baylor Slaughter Incident? " Lord benjin castle asked when Rey frowned as veins spread out across his face, releasing his auras into the air.

" If he is one of the five targets.....Then I will slaughter him in the most chaotic manner!! "
