“Which idiot said you have the ethereal physic?” The demon king looked at me and asked me reading my thoughts and I turned toward the bastard Ronald the legendary swordsman and my real father.
“Ohh.” Saying this he turned to look at Ronald and Ronald slumped back on his place. The demon king snapped his finger and a gale of wind shot out from his finger which cut down one hand of Ronald but he didn’t retort while rest of the audience had sweat forming on their forehead.
‘Legendary swordsman my ass he is not even an ant in front of demon king, at least demon king consider me a threat but dude you are lower than me.’ I thought as I looked at the fallen hand of legendary swordsman Ronald.
I don’t know why but I felt a sense of relief from the demon kings actions, if he could just kill all 4 of them I would have less regret before dying.
“I can kill them whenever I want without lifting a finger but they still have use for me, so I have to turn down your request.” He said dude stop peeking in my head.
“I remember inviting queen as well, where is she?” The demon king suddenly asked.
“She was too weak to travel after giving birth to prince my king, I apologize on her behalf.” king Alfred said, he was more like a dog than king and I informed the demon king that he is lying, he was afraid that you will do something bad to that bitch queen so he told her to stay at the palace.
“Is that so, your son here says that you told her to not come.” The demon king questioned King Alfred and hearing so King Alfred released his killing intent toward me but guardian suppressed him.
“That is not true your majesty.” The king Alfred bowed and lied once again.
“It doesn’t matter.” Saying this king looked at one of his four dukes and the duke nodded his head understanding kings intention.
With flick of his hand a portal appeared in front of demon king and Queen Isabella fell from it on the floor. The bitch has changed her royal robes and was wearing a seductive nighty which highlighted all her curves and exposed half of her breast, seeing sudden change in her surrounding she looked around; she understood the whole situation in few second and immediately bowed her head before the demon king.
“Long live your majesty.” She said completely ignoring me damn bitch, what is with this weird family.
“I heard you are sick, you look fine to me.” The demon king asked and threw a small box toward the queen which she caught in her hands, when she opened it inside of it was a transparent golden pill.
‘It’s a perfect body pill which remove all disease from once body but that is not the only thing it does. It also makes one look younger by more than 5 year of their real age and only people possess it is me and 4 dukes siting in this room.’ He said to me telepathically.
He gave this information to shatter my last remaining hope of getting rescued from this hell. Seeing the mighty queen of human race grovel before the demon king I concluded that this world was done for.
“Thank you for your grace your majesty, please let me know if your majesty ever needs anything, I will do my best to fulfill his majesties request.” She said in a seductive voice.
“I would have let a beauty like you join my harem but I don’t like the women’s with bitch personality.” He insulted her and dismissed her and after she stood and joined the king and others but I couldn’t agree more with his words.
“You all can return to your rat hole now, as per the agreement no demon will bother your kingdom for the next 100 years and I will let you know if there is any new prophesy.” He said and all those peoples who were praising me as their gods and savior few minutes before left me without giving me a last look.
Only now I understood why they were thanking me in the bedroom, they were grateful for my sacrifice which will give them 100 year of freedom.
“What will you do to me now?” I asked him.
“I had the intention of killing you the moment I laid my eyes on you but seeing that you have that perfect immortal physique, it will be a waste to kill you just like that, instead if I sacrifice your soul and body to the demon gods they will grant me immense strength.” And just like that he decided my fate.
‘Can you tell me what is perfect immortal physic is?’ I asked.
‘You don’t need to know.’ He refused.
“Duke Elise, please take our guest to the 46th underground dungeon and lock him up till tomorrow.” The demon king said and a female duke stood up from her seat and walked toward the newly opened portal in the distance.
“Duke Titan, make preparation for sacrificial ritual to our god, we will sacrifice the soul of this hero to demon gods tomorrow on the night of full moon and increase the security of dungeon as you deem fit, remember I will not tolerate any mistake.” He concluded which means I only have one day of life remaining.
And that is how another worse day of my life ended or so I thought because I got a new notification from the system.
<Time remaining till self-destruction: 24:00 Hrs. or Start of sacrificial ritual whichever is earlier>
My already spoiled mood dropped dead completely, all hopes vanished before my eyes, there was nothing I could offer to demon king which will help me survive, thinking this I floated toward Duke Elise who did something to me and I felt sleepy and my eyes closed.
A familiar sensation woke me up from my slumber and a familiar holographic screen welcomes me back to hell.Why did this bastard have to wake me up this early damn it, I would have preferred to die while sleeping or I can ask demon king to send me off without pain, yeah he seemed a reasonable guy he will do that much for me at least, but I have seen in movies that sacrificial rituals related to souls are one of the most painful death experience and I have recently experienced one when that angel merged the system with my soul.All type of thoughts flooded my mind knowing that after doing all short of ass licking I was still going to die, I thought that I should have died in the god’s trial instead at least I would have received a painless death.No, I will not accept my death this e
My whole body felt rigid as I teleported away from the demon kings territory. I did whatever I could to keep myself conscious but then a voice resounded in my ears which swept all my worries away and I closed my eyes. ‘No need to push yourself, you are safe now, we will talk when you have recovered from your trauma.” Merlin said to me and I complied because I could sense that whatever he was saying was all true. As I floated in the dark abyss for the nth time in the last week, it was the 1st time I slept soundly. *** “Wake up brat, how long do you plan to sleep?” I heard merlin’s voice and woke. Looking at my surrounding I understood, I was stranded in the forest and it was still dark. There was nothing other than trees surrounding me but I could hear a voice of water flowing somewhere nearby and chirping of various birds. “How long was I passed out?” I asked. “For more than 24 hour.” He replied. “Thank you for saving me, benefactor merlin, I will definitely repay this debt in
‘I need some time to think.’ I said.‘How many gods have you slain till now?’ I asked curiously.‘I have slain 21 gods and while fighting them 34 hosts have died.’ He answered me truthfully.So it won’t be an easy task but I didn’t find anything wrong in what merlin was doing. If it wasn’t for those gods intervention I would have been enjoying my life on earth, I too want to kill them all but I have to think more practically before making my decision.‘How did you end up in the dungeon of Demon king, if you were this strong?’ I asked.‘The current demon king Diablo/Lucifer was a 68th god slaying candidate selected by me but on the day of our decisive battle he bowed his head to the power of demon god who governed this planet and become his apostle.Before the demon god could kill me, I sealed myself at the expense of huge amount of Fate point until the right candidate arrives and thus the demon king Diablo/Lucifer threw me into the deepest dungeon of his castle, by the way he has been
“So what did you find in his memories?” I asked just in case.‘Maybe answers to 90% of your questions.’ Merlin replied.‘Accept the debt because it is the information which will help you make your decision.’ Merlin’s words made me curious as to what he has discovered.“Let me tell you everything from the start, first why you were selected among the people to be abducted from earth and in order to understand the reason you will need to know what Fate point is.Fate point is a type of universal currency, a mortal earns fate point from universe depending on certain actions he perform and when that mortal becomes a follower of god, he share the portion of Fate point with gods. Even if the person dies the total fate point is not transferred to god but carried forward with the soul of that person and transferred to him when his soul reincarnates.” He said.“So all gods are greedy fools who want to be rich, but what does gods give us in retur
“Merlin, I have made my decision.” I said.“Are you sure?” He once again asked me.“Yes, never been more sure about anything in my whole life, but are you just going to work with me, considering the fight which is ahead of us aren’t you going to test my talent or aptitude or something like that?” I questioned him.“Then tell me, what qualification should I expect in a two day old baby?” he asked and I shut my mouth.“Your mind is that of a 22 year old teenager and it will help us greatly in overcoming the learning curve but your body is far from ready, if in future I feel like you are not competent enough to do the job, we will part ways.” He said truth without caring about my feeling throwing straight facts at me.“The current situation require us to work together, you may not have realized it but we both are equally dependent on each other, if I separate from your body I won’t be able to maintain my form even for a single day and my soul will disintegrate into nothingness.” He said
We both stared at the astronomical number of Fate point begging to be used in my status window for few minutes not saying anything but then I broke the silence.“Can I use the fate points to kill the demon king?” I asked merlin.“Fate points cannot be used to harm any mortal beings or gods.” Merlin said.“But those angels used fate point to abduct us and perform a mass genocide; there must be some loophole in the system from which we can benefit.” I said.“They used fate point to abduct you but killed the humans with their own strength, you can also bring demon king here using fate point but you have to kill him with your own power.” Merlin said.“There are many loophole in the system designed by the universe and whenever someone tries to make profit out of those loopholes the universe always takes action against them, I am curious what method did gods employ to avoid the universe penalty.” Merlin said.“But let’s not think about that now and move to somewhere else and decide how to u
“Ahhhhhh”*Thudd*“Ouch”“Sorry the calculation was little off so we teleported few feet above ground, this is one of the problem of inter dimensional teleportation.” Merlin said while my ears rang continuously with a whistle like sound and there were bruises on my little hands and feet because of our rough landing which started to heal as soon as they appeared and the pain vanished within seconds.“This body is amazing.” I said amazed to see my wounds regenerate because ordinarily it would have taken few days to heal if I was in my previous body.“Wait till you start your training and figure out more quirks about your body.” He said and my hopes shot through the roof of a cave we were in.“So you said something about the using Fate point and upgrading me, what do you have in mind?” When I mentioned about upgrade various windows appeared before me.[Shop][Skill: Click to expand][Weapon: Click to expand][Familiar: Click to expand][Beast core: Click to expand][???: Unlock at Lvl. 5
“That didn’t take long; I thought you would need more time to think.” Merlin said.“Did you forget who I was in my previous life, I am a businessman and I know when a good deal is presented before me.” I bragged to merlin. “At least you have a right mindset and believe me in this world of magic whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” Merlin said and showed me the skill to form multiple core centers inside my body._____[Shop][Skills][Core center formation secret art][Rank: Immortal (upgradable)][Description: A secret core formation art created after studying and merging countless ancient core center formation techniques, which force out the maximum number of core center one mortal can possess depending on his talent.][Cost: 900,000 Fate point]_____“This skill will upgrade when your physique upgrade to Rank 1 Mithril physique and you may be able to form few more core center if your upgraded physique allows you to.” His words contained some truth but that wi
