Chapter 575 A Sudden Summons
Chaos Lord is an entity from more than three hundred thousand years ago, even before the Empire of Arcana. He lived back when there are hundreds of kingdoms ruling over the continent and fighting for the land and dominance.
He is recorded as the first demigod in the history of mankind. Everyone who went to an Arcana Academy in their childhood knows about him.
No one knows his real name. All people know about him is that he wasn't exactly a human, but a half-demon and half-human born to a demon king from Ars Goetia and a human princess from the kingdom of Eden, which is now known as Llyne.
It is said that he is so powerful that people hailed him as a god as they don't get to see any real gods.
For thousands of years, he enjoyed the status of a god, protecting the supercontinent from demons. During his reign, he also made sure that there is a wave of peace between demons and the other races.
As for the wars between human kingdoms or the deadly diseases that are killing humans, he never cared about them.
However, one day, everything changed when a second demigod emerged. This one is a half-angel and half-human.
Luminael tried his best to bring peace to the supercontinent. He constantly roamed the world to help the sickly people. He protected them from natural disasters. Because of the bloodline of an angel and light attribute, he also appeared friendlier to the masses. He became more popular than the Chaos Lord.
Enmity has been formed between the Chaos Lord and Luminael. Previously, the kingdoms fought wars for the land. Now, they fought for whose lord is more superior.
It went on for thousands of years before demigods started emerging one after another from all over the world. The natural energy in the world also became a lot denser as time passed and people no longer treated them as gods.
As the humans teamed up against Chaos Lord, the latter resorted to violent ways. From protector, he became the destroyer. From a god, his status dropped to that of a devil.
Chaos Lord was eventually killed and his corpse has been cremated.
It is all Azzy and the rest of the world knew so far.
But what does Chaos Lord from such a period have anything to do with Aaron's dad? Is he a reincarnation of that demigod or something?
And more importantly, why couldn't he see this from when Jinn possessed her and extracted her memories back then? Azzy wondered for a moment before he said, "Go on..."
Maria then collected herself and explained, "My brother told me that our organization Assad originally was created by our ancestors for the sole purpose of resurrecting the Chaos Lord. We used to have a treasure that absorbs the souls of the dead that hasn't gone to the spirit realm.
According to my brother, our ancestors found a way to resurrect him but we need 100 million souls and a host. For thousands of years, the members of the organization collected in any way they can while moving in the shadows. In my father's rule, they finally achieved the required amount of souls.
My father volunteered as the host. However, just before the day of the ritual, he had a change of mind and secretly informed WAMO himself. After absorbing the treasure in his body, he went to prison and hoped for a life sentence as he pleaded guilty.
However, little did he expect that he would receive a Death sentence. Now, the moment my father dies, the Chaos Lord will resurrect in his body. My brother wanted to stop this execution and likes to seal him forever.
As for the agent, he isn't what you think he is. That Alder is a double agent of Arc Company. He isn't at school just because WAMO assigned him the job. It is to find out the info we are withholding from those directors of Arc.
I actually thought that he is genuinely interested in me until I found out the truth about him. We might have decided to dispose of him to save ourselves, but I was involved in it directly because of my heartbreak.
Since you said you are from Zero Squad, I believe you have considerable influence within the organization. Talk to your superiors and stop this execution. Or else, the world will fall into danger, Mr. Garcia."
Azzy stared at her without speaking. The deafening silence increased Maria's heartbeat as she was hoping that this young man will believe her. She said everything she can and doesn't have any more info that can make him free her.
Meanwhile, the boy was conversing with the Reaper, who appears to be under the impression that she is telling the truth.
As Azzy was wondering whether he should summon Jinn and possess her or not, an envelope made of energy suddenly appeared before his eyes and went into his forehead, taking him by surprise.
"Azzy, return home this instant." The voice belonged to his father and it sounded quite serious.
Azzy then looked at his hostage and said, "Fine, let's say I believe you. But, you still have to stay in this place until I decide what to do with you."
Azzy backed off and closed the door of the pocket world. He left as the door disappeared, locking her again.
Roughly about an hour later, Azzy returned home and went directly to the Throne Hall as it is where his father is currently at the moment.
As he entered the place, he saw an elf standing in the center of the hall while Vesyrn has a scroll in his hand.
The stranger took a glance at Azzy and furrowed his brows a bit before controlling his expression to normal. Forget about Aelius Crescent's corrupt energy, he couldn't even sense soul energy from the boy.
Meanwhile, Azzy formally greeted his father in the presence of other pavilion masters and asked for the reason for his summoning.
Vesyrn Garcia then spoke, "Azrael Garcia, your battle with Neremyn Searvale is going to be conducted as scheduled as we see you are deemed fit. You are going to leave this evening as requested by the elves. Pavilion Master Evelyn and Clan Leader Crescent will be joining you on your journey."
"Eh?"
