"Pesky Human!! What did you do!!!?" The Devil Emperor roared as it endured a hellish pain from the runes of Raven.
"Oh, nothing much." Raven muttered blandly, "Pest Control I guess."
"How dare you!! Release me you insignificant pest!"
"You really don't understand the position you are in, huh?" Raven snorted, "For some who views humans as a lesser being, you're really doing a great job upholding your 'status' by getting chained-up for millions of years. Even with that, you're still looking down on me as if you could free yourself anytime you want when in truth, you can never."
"You are destined to rot in this prison cell, now more than ever since you've met me." Raven uttered icily.
"You think I can't endure this little pain huh!?"
"Well, can you?" Raven asked rhetorically, "I mean, I can't tell. From the looks of it, your eyes are nearly rolling at the back of your head just from that. I haven't tried at all."
"Damn you!!"
"You truly are nothing more than a rabid dog at this point." Raven shook his head, "How pathetic and pitiful. And here I was expecting that you'll make this harder for me but...oh well...too bad, so sad."
The Devil Emperor fiercely struggled. Trying to break free of its restraints only to discover that its hold over him was getting firmer. In fact, this has got to be the tightest restraints that it ever felt, and that's comparing this to how it was life before.
"Hah! In the end, though you present yourself as someone powerful, not even you can escape the cycle." The Devil Emperor chuckled despite the pain, "I will outlive you, just like the others. How very sad for you, human."
"...damn, I don't know if this is just you being slow on uptake or you just being plainly stupid. I yapped away here for quite sometime and you still don't understand the position you're in." Raven sighed as he shook his head.
"..."
"You called me a Half-Breed Celestial. I arrived here knowing what you are and who you're working for. I managed to suppress you with ease and haven't shown even the slightest of fear. Still, you think I am afraid of you and these lords that you serve? Come on, there's a limit on how stupid you can get!"
The Devil Emperor was shocked. Indeed, this person knows who the Abyssals are even though he shouldn't. The Devil Emperor hasn't revealed their existence to anyone except for the people who imprisoned him here and those who visited them. And even if word gets out, it's not like these humans can do anything against the Abyssals.
If this human knew about the existence of the Abyssals, then it's either he met them already or learned about their existence from somewhere.
The former doesn't make any sense. If this human met the Abyssals, then he shouldn't appear here, he should be dead by now after all, no matter how strong this human gets, there's no way he can escape from the Abyssals.
The latter was more likely but then again how can this human be so confident? This isn't bravado, the Devil Emperor can feel that this human truly doesn't fear the abyssals at all. So what's up with this?
"Yes, that's the look I was waiting for." Raven smirked as he saw the changes on the Devil Emperor's expression.
"Indeed, right? It doesn't make sense. Despite me knowing what or who the Abyssals are, I'm alive and I don't fear them at all. It truly doesn't make sense right?" Raven chuckled heartily. He then stared at the Devil Emperor's eyes and said...
"The Abyssals' Army have thousands of low-rank, hundreds of mid-rank and 99 high-ranking Abyssals. The low-ranked Abyssals are called Foot Soldiers in their language. The mid-ranked are referred to as Officers, and the high-ranked are called Nobles."
"Aside from there, there 20 Monarchs, 10 Abyssal Kings and their ruler, the Abyssal Emperor. Did I get it all right?" Raven asked with a sneer on his face.
The look on the Devil Emperor's face was priceless. That was the most detailed intel he heard from a human before regarding the Abyssals. Even the Celestials might not necessarily knew about the real Hierarchy of the Abyssals due to their mysteriousness and how they swiftly deal with their prey.
"I've experienced two lifetimes you see." Raven muttered, paying close attention to the shock and disbelief plastered on the prisoner's face. "During my past life, I've already fought against the Abyssals. Hell, I even squared up against the Abyssal Emperor himself. I didn't get to see the ending since I blew myself up."
"But see...my soul returned to the past of this timeline with all of my memories intact. It's not really surprising since things like that occur but for someone who had reached the peak of this world before, I knew what's coming. Therefore I am prepared." Raven revealed.
"I haven't been made aware of your existence back then. But now that I am, I now know the reason how the Abyssals managed find our home. Thankfully, you're a chatterbox as well, ain't that been a relief?"
"Still though, your lords doesn't really strike fear in me." Raven said blandly, "I can probably go to them and lessen their numbers while keeping myself alive, but that's not a wise decision for now, so I'll hold off from doing that."
"I am aware that you have a Life Jade, the Abyssals knows that you're alive and if I truly killed you right now, that's just inviting the disaster to come. I know that." Raven nodded, "But see, I had no plans on killing you for now anyways. My plan was to make sure you keep imprisoned here without being able to do anything at all."
"You're immortal yes, but it doesn't mean you can't be killed. I have tons of ways to kill you and that wouldn't be my first time killing an immortal either." Raven revealed.
"I do plan on breaking the cycle. But not in the way that you think." Raven shook his head, "The runes I placed on to you and those constellations? They will slowly drain your strength and turn it into their own fuel."
"Day by day, week after week, you will notice how weaker and weaker you will get. Slowly but surely, these will wrestle your immortality away until the day comes that you succumbed to them. These constellations will suck your essence and eventually, you're identity."
"Meaning that by the time that you died, these constellations will be acting as you, but their loyalty will be to me. The Life Jade you have won't shatter nor inform the abyssals about the location of this place since the item will be rendered ineffective anyway."
"This slow death is my gift to you. You will not outlive me, nor you will be able to free yourself from this prison." Raven's tone got chilly, "You can only dream about being free and laying waste to everything I love and hold dear. You, can only dream about being rescued by the Lords that absolutely won't give a damn whether you live or die."
"See? Isn't it dull?" Raven chuckled, "It's way too easy to deal with you. I'm not even sweating."
The Devil Emperor looked pale. The pain it was experiencing wasn't helping with that as well. The Devil Emperor can tell that this human isn't lying at all. Why? The Devil Emperor can already feel the Immortality being siphoned out of its body as well pieces of its consciousness.
The amount was very little, but it's there. And the runes were too complex, it'll take centuries before it could analyze it and think about how to undo them, by that time, it's already too late. Given how long the Devil Emperor already lived, it will certainly die the moment its Immortality got stolen. And there's nothing it could do to stop this.
"Oh? Is that the look of someone who's trying bargain for their life?" Raven sneered, "Wow, who could've known that you're capable of making such an expression. However, too bad. You're facing me. The moment I appeared in front of you, your fate is already sealed. Oh, how very sad for you...Lackey Emperor."
"By the way, your subordinates...you probably couldn't care less about them but I plan on eradicating them ae well." Raven stated, "Unfortunately for them, they're not recognized by the Abyssals so they don't have any Life Jades. Meaning that even if I kill them, nobody from your side will know..."
"And since the Life Jade you have with them is trash, even if I tell you all of this, there's nothing you can do ask for help. They will never know about where you are, they probably aren't even paying attention in the first place since you're technically not one of them."
"They will never help you. So you will die here..."
"Slowly..."
"By yourself..."
"Oh...how very sad and unfortunate." Raven feigned sadness over the prisoner's fate before chuckling to himself.
"Oh well...I've enjoyed our little chat. Don't worry, I'll keep visiting you so that you won't feel so lonely here while dying slowly."
"Farewell, for now...dear old prisoner. Hahaha." Raven disappeared from its view.
That's when everything rushed-in for the Devil Emperor, it threw its head back and roared:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Pesky Human!! What did you do!!!?" The Devil Emperor roared as it endured a hellish pain from the runes of Raven.
"Oh, nothing much." Raven muttered blandly, "Pest Control I guess."
