A heavy-built demon who was proclaiming himself as ruler of Netherworld, why would he want to help humans who were rivals of the demon race thought Sauren.
The So-called king noticed an expression of little fear in the face of the human standing before him.
He immediately understood what he was thinking,
"You don't have to worry about me killing you. And No, I am not a demon.
When I gained conscientiousness, that time demons were the dominant race in the world. So I took the form of a demon to mingle easily with the major species.
Who would have thought you humans that were not even present at that time would grow so much that now giving competition to demons on the surface world.
Sigh..., Now I have to do much effort to change my appearance now"
Sauren now understood the thinking of this being. This entity was very old, so old that it does not care about Demons or humans. It was just limited to his interests.
"I agree to the terms of Contract. "
"Oh, that was a quick decision.
Then Let me give you authority as described in the contract.
I, Anax, Ruler of the Netherworld, one of the Masters of domains of the underworld.
Hereby share my part of the domain of nether flames with thee by this contract.
From now, we are related by the terms of the contract. This means I and thou are connected through the flames, and indeed you are subversive to me."
Sauren nodded his head to express his consent to the oath of contract. He looked with wide eyes as after these words by Anax, black flames began to coil all over his body but they were not harming him in the slightest.
"We will meet again when time is right. For now, you can go "
With his words, Sauren was erased bit by bit from this place by his flames.
Anax with his hands clasped behind his back viewed the departure of humans. After some time he smiled and said to himself,
"I have hopes for you, let's see for how long you can survive. Maybe you will help me."
Sauren woke up with start from his dream. He looked around and found everything normal. He suddenly forgot what he was dreaming about.
He had a feeling that it was something important but he was unable to remember what it was about. After few more minutes of hard thinking, only one word came to his mind that was 'Anax'.
He gave up after few more tries and threw this word to the back of his mind. He lifted himself and found an intense weakness in his body.
He felt like he was starving for weeks. Maybe I was asleep for days that's why thought Sauren.
He hurriedly went to the kitchen to eat something. It was midnight but to his surprise, there was someone already in the kitchen.
A drunk Bushin was currently trying his hardest to cook few eggs for himself when he found Sauren walking inside the kitchen.
Before he can give order to him for cooking, he jumped and began eating all things he could find in the kitchen.
Fruits, bread, vegetables, and even desserts all things were all cleaned by Sauren in few minutes. Bushin was surprised by his appetite.
"Hey, hey… listen….make eggs and eat them….if you are hungry.." Said Bushin. He left the stove and walked back to his room.
Seeing Sauren eating like a hungry man, he felt his stomach full only by watching. He changed his mind about eggs and went to sleep in his room. Either his senses were fooling him or It was the effect of Alcohol.
Sauren was still not full. Listening to Bushin, he was touched. He quickly breaks a few eggs in a pan and makes himself an omelet to eat.
Finally, after an hour of eating, he turned with satisfaction and lied down on the kitchen floor for a nap. It was a while when he was so full so sleep came quickly to him.
In the morning, due to his scheduled habit of waking at sunrise. His eyes opened automatically at the break of dawn.
He went outside to sweep the yard when he found the yard to be super clean. There were no leaves on the yard like it was cleaned just minutes ago.
He was surprised by the miracle and looked around. He noticed Bushin sitting on the rock meditating on his own.
"Hey old man, how much time I was out. "
"What do you mean by that, you woke after few hours, I don't think that is much?"
"Huh...a few hours? I thought I was unconscious for several days considering the hunger I was feeling. "
Bushin opened his eyes and looked towards Sauren, "Maybe it was due to contract, it soaked your body energy."
Sauren rubbed his head in confusion.
"Okay, enough talking. Let's start you have yet to learn many things."
Adonis grabbed the collar of Zeph and hurled him away in annoyance,
"You are weak. This is your determination. Pathetic "
Zeph flew away and collided with the wall of the room. He stood up staggeringly, his eyes filled with anger.
"How did this happen? Maybe I was wrong to believe in him?" Thought Zeph.
"No, …...
**************************
It all started when both were drinking on the roof. Adonis took a swing of his cup,
"I want to ask you why? Why are you still here when knowing I am an assassin?
Tell me the truth, what is the motive which is burning you so bad that you are willing to take a mass murderer as his teacher."
Zeph was immediately sobered from the drink. He put down the bottle he was holding,
"I want to be strong because I must fulfill. A duty of Son, grandson, or member of the clan."
"So, you are out on revenge.?"
"It is not personal hatred for I am forever grateful to my grandfather who raised me.
Never he told me about my parent's death, not about the clan's extermination. "
Zeph smiled a little, remembering his Grandfather Makon.
"He did not want me to go on revenge. Even my late father did not want me to avenge his death.
It is ironic when they all are saying 'No'. I am the one determined to avenge them."
Adonis looked at the quiet young man, he was a less talkative type but he was carrying the burden of his family on his shoulders.
"Son who runs from his duty, I am not qualified to be called as their son if I do so. If I destroy myself in the process it is worth it."
"Who are those you want to take revenge?"
Zeph shakes his head "I am not even qualified to talk about them yet. They are
'Blackraven'.
Listening to the familiar name suddenly, Adonis began to laugh.
Zeph was confused by his behavior. By Chance did he knew about them thought Zeph.
Adonis was laughing not because he was doubting Zeph but because due to these words he finally changed his mind about not teaching Zeph.
"Great Zeph, I will teach you. You have to walk on this path for your revenge. I will help you but if you think you can succeed you are dreaming. "
Adonis stood up and beckoned Zeph to follow him. Zeph was confused by the sudden change in the behavior of Adonis.
He led Zeph into the basement of the shop and towards the old wooden shelf. He unlocked it and fetched something out of it.
He placed it before Zeph and in amusement watched the eyes of Zeph going wide in shock.
"This path is filled with Hate Zeph. You have to be determined enough to complete it. Come one I am giving you chance to prove your determination, Make a move and kill me here without delay."
Zeph was suddenly dumbstruck by the insignia before him. It was raven or to be an exact five-headed black raven indicating the elite position in the Black raven organization.
He looked and found a dagger in his hands which was placed by Adonis.
Adonis lifted his hand took his dagger near his neck
"Show me how determined are you for your goal?"
Zeph was unable to make a move. He just stood there gritting his teeth, hate visible in his eyes.
Adonis grabbed the collar of his shirt and hurled him at the wall of the Room.
"You are weak. This is your determination. Pathetic "
Zeph slowly stood up staggeringly, hurt by the impact.
"No, I can't kill you without reason."
Adonis laughed over his words,
"Hahaha, Reason. I am a killer, murder, member of your hated organization. You still need a reason.
If you will remain like this, you can never be successful in your goal."
Zeph finally unable to endure ran to confront Adonis. He was feeling conflicted, hypocrite.
What to do, what to not? It will be good if Grandfather was here, he could have solved my dilemma.
Zeph swung his fist at Adonis, who smiling stopped the blow easily and with other hand dislocated elbow of Zeph.
Zeph cried in pain but Adonis Paid no heed to it. He stomped on his knees to make him fall and then choked his throat.
"Let me ease your dilemma. I can leave this organization we can work together to kill this organization but only if you are strong."
Zeph tried to say something but was unable to speak due to a tight hold on his throat.
"I can help you. Not because I am a good man but because I want someone able to end me and this organization when the need arises.
I will teach you, and give you chance. You said you wanted to become my disciple, huh.
Ok here is a target for you, after I am done teaching with you if you can defeat me I will leave this organization and work with you."
Said Adonis.
Zeph was on verge of losing breath when Adonis released the pressure on his neck.
He began coughing and taking in deep breaths to calm his body. He was sitting down and looked towards the Adonis who was looming over him.
"You…..will leave the organization if I win against you?.... I am ready for learning for now. I also have the aim of making you leave that organization."
Adonis just shakes his head over his statement and replies,
"Ok now you can rest, tomorrow you will be learning to take lives because in this path this training matters more than your chakra stage ."
With these words, he suddenly slapped at the back of Zeph's head.
He was caught off guard by the attack. Zeph was knocked unconscious with the hit and slumped down on the floor.
He casually lifted him and threw him on the bed in his room but not before relocating his elbow.
Afterward, he went back to the roof and sat down again to finish his wine. Small teardrops were forming inside of his eyes
"What's more fortunate than raising an Executioner for oneself….Haha listen, Master, I am not going to end our legacy here."
