10 Chapter 10 : The Mysterious Black Key

Draiken" Damn why is it so hot in here, I feel like my skin is being pilled off life an onion. According to the system this place has 55 Boss Room floors and with this key I can enter and leave as I want but according to the systems rules I can't leave this place once I've started battle in a floor. Well that kinda sucks, I wonder what type of monsters are in this place.

He walks around until he stumbles upon a temple like structure that is illuminated by light and has big guard like Angel's at the entrance.

Draiken" Well that place looks kinda safe although it might be a trap, I must approach cautiously to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

He walks towards the Temple and he looks at the statue's, they don't move or flinch so he considers it safe and enters the temple.

Draiken" This place is beautiful but how can a place like this exist in a sucky environment with signs of no actual life.

SYSTEM

YOU HAVE FOUND THE LOST TEMPLE OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

Draiken" Fountain Of Youth. I thought places like these live only in fairytales, how can this place even exist.

SYSTEM

1 OUT OF 5 ITEMS FOUND FOR THE ELIXER OF LIFE

ELIXER OF LIFE : Apparently this ELIXER can bring someone who's on the brink of death back to life. Although it can't bring the dead back to life it can heal all types of curses and conditions, useful when exploring unknown Dungeons.

Draiken" WHAT !!! This elixer of life thing can be useful, maybe it can even cure my sister's condition.

He collects the Water that has a gold shimmer in it and walks towards the entrance but before he can walk out he see's monster's roaming around the temple and they seem to be saying something so he climbs up the temple wall to listen to them.

Grug" How do we enter this place with all those statue's guarding this place.

Furl" How should I know.

Before the monster's can move, Draiken slips from the wall and falls directly onto the two Demon monster's talking.

Draiken" Holy shit...

Demon Grug" What a human, how did they enter the Netherworld. SOUND THE HORN...

Grub the other Demon Monster who was with him blows his horn and in a matter of seconds a large horde of Demons riding undead horses rush to the Temple.

Demon Lord Valdek" Why have you blown the horn, is the enemy clan attacking us, have they broken the peace treaty we had made with them.

Demon Grug" No master there seems to be someone from the human world in the long lost temple.

Demon Lord Valdek" What a human. Where is he?? Bring him to me.

Demon Grug" We can't my lord

Demon Lord Valdek" And why is that ??

Demon Grug" My lord it seems he has hidden himself in the temple guarded by those angel like statue's. We won't be able to enter my lord those statue's are strong like the last time they will annihilate half our army without even breaking a sweat.

Demon Lord Valdek" At the moment our army is quite fragile so we mustn't make any hasty moves.

Demon Grug" Yes my Lord.

Demon Lord Valdek" Let's try negotiating with the Human first then we'll take our next course of action, even if we were to kill him it wouldn't make a difference to us.

The Demon Lord gets off his horse and walks closer to the temple, the statue's start to move.

Demon Lord Valdek talking to himself" I should keep a safe distance otherwise I'm dead.

He comes to a stop and starts talking to Draiken.

Demon Lord Valdek" Hey HUMAN

Draiken appears from behind the statue

Demon Lord Valdek" We would like to have a talk with you, if you would please give this Lord an audience.

Draiken" I'm listening.

Demon Lord Valdek" My name is Valdek Slith of the Demon clan Zavios. And we would like to make a deal with you.

Draiken" Not interested.

Demon Lord Valdek" Before you refuse, you should consider your current position, we might be of help in getting you up the tower if that's what you're after.

Draiken" Well I'm not in a rush so I'll consider listening to you.

Demon Lord Valdek" Ok, as you don't probably know this place is called The Netherworld Babylon it is a Demon Race place where our ancestors and ourselves have lived for millions and millions of years, in proximity it has about 55 area's and the higher you go the more dangerous it becomes.

Draiken" I'm not really interested in a history lesson right now so if you could please skip to the important parts, that would be great.

Demon Grug" You insolent human.

The demon lord looks at his demon servant in a murderous way.

Demon Lord Valdek" You dare open your mouth when this Lord is speaking

Demon Grug" Sorry my Lord my tongue slipped, it won't happen again.

Demon Lord Valdek" It better. Sorry about that these servants tend to speak out of terms, it's been a while since we've seen humans in The Netherworld.

Draiken" What do you mean.

Demon Lord Valdek" I thought you did not want a history lesson.

Draiken" Well I've changed my mind. Now tell me how long has it been since humans have come here and why haven't they ever came.

Demon Lord Valdek" It all happened 500 years ago, a huge portal opened like a type of door to another world which caused a huge outbreak of disorder and chaos, all the demon clan leaders gathered to discuss what we would do about the situation, some suggested we explore the Portal and some suggested we leave it be, so we left it and all the clan leaders left to their respective forces but then out of nowhere humans stated to flood in from the portal coming into our world, we were the weakest of all the Demon clans so we reside on the lower level of The Netherworld we we're the one who saw the humans first so we sent representatives to talk to them but then one was killed and the other told to come tell us to prepare for war of slaughter, we ordered some of our troops to relay the message to the other clans. A huge war started in The Netherlands that lasted for about 3 Full moons, the strongest demon clans Lord died in that battle and the Portal closed up and since those many years ago we have never seen a human until now.

Draiken talking to himself" The guy he's talking about must be the person known to be strongest Hunter on Earth " Kirito Kazuya".But in the history books it says the Demons started the war and they had to retaliate in order to defend against our world. Well I guess there is no need to stay here further I need to climb up this Whole tower until I get to the top.

The Demon Lord looks at Draiken.

Draiken" So I'm guessing for the information you also want something in return.

Demon Lord Valdek" We just need something we could never obtain until now.

Draiken" And what is that ??

Demon Lord Valdek" The Spirit water in the Fountain Of Youth and a little bit of your blood.

Draiken" My blood, why my blood ??

Demon Lord Valdek" The ritual we need to perform requires human blood in order for it to be a success, so will you be able to help us

Draiken" Ok I guess that's not too much to ask for, I'll give you the Spirit Water and a little bit of my blood but you have to tell me everything and what I should expect in this place.

Demon Lord Valdek" Well then I guess that's a deal. But first we will need you to come with us to our kingdom to perform the ritual.

Draiken" Why am I feeling like I'm regretting this ??

Demon Lord Valdek" We promise it won't take much of your time it's a simple ritual.

Draiken" Ok fine but now tell me everything about this place.

The Demon Lord explains everything about the Netherworld and the countless Demons he will encounter.

Demon Lord Valdek" That's all but I'm afraid the demons you'll encounter won't be as friendly as us.

Draiken" I'm cool with that, I'm not here to make friends anyway. I'm here to level up.
