Greywar Academy: The Entrance Exam (Part 2)

[Hell • Year of Eon]

A hellish environment full of crawling hideous and sadistic demons, a lawless beings that resides in [Hell] that is being ruled by its [Seven Pillars], the [Seven Kings] knows as the [Devils]. A rational beings completely different from the [Demons], they abide to their [Laws] created by them to maintain the dimension of [Hell].

[Ancient Time]

Lucifer, one of the [Seven Kings], is on his slumber for some mysterious reasons. He's inside of a sandstorm-like-ball floating above the burning the land with no signs of life.

Unknowingly, two mysterious and hidden beings appeared infront of the storm of sphere where Lucifer is sleeping.

As they both look at the sphere, two of them raised their both arms and pointed it to the sphere.

Then a burst of searing black light shines through out the entire room where Lucifer is. And the Sphere where he is located... disappeared as well as the two beings.

As they both disappeared, Lucifer is suddenly inside a separated dimensions where 'nothing' exist. Without sensing any [Mana] to supply his power, he then wakes up and saw the [Nothing World].

He then wondered.

What's happening? What is this place? I can sense nothing. But why did I feel that I couldn't sense the energy of Belphegor, Satan Asmodeus and Leviathan while I was asleep? Wait, did something happen? Did 'they' really executed that plan?

There are too many questions that couldn't be answered are rushing inside Lucifer's mind until an old, growling yet mischievous voiced pierces his ears.

"KEKEKEK... LUCIFER."

A familiar voice were immediately recognize by him and replied instantly.

"BEELZEBUB? WHAT IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN DID YOU DO? ANSWER ME!" As Lucifer angrily replied to the voice of Beelzebub coming out of nowhere.

A similar and familiar voice again hits his ears.

"WE JUST DID 'WHAT IS RIGHT,' THE HELL IS UNSTABLE BECAUSE OF THE LAWS WE IMPLEMENT AND THE DIMENSIONS IS ALREADY SHIFTING. WE PROPOSED A PLAN AND YET ALL OF YOU 'DISAGREE' SO WE TOOK LIBERTY OF EXECUTING IT ON OUR HANDS."

"MAMMON? ARE YOU ALL INSANE? YOU WANTED TO [CREATED ANOTHER HELL] FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION! IF YOU DO THAT MASSIVE ALTERATIONS OF REALITY AND COSMIC-SHIFTING WILL HAPPEN!" Lucifer said as he stated the adverse effect of their [Plan] for "Creating another Hell."

But the two [Devils], just did a playful chuckle as they hear the angry Lucifer. The emotions of Lucifer, as a [Devil] who abide at their rules, filled his whole body. Then he swears at them making an oath:

"IF I JUST COMES OUT HERE, I DON'T CARE IF I TAKE A MILLENNIUM OR MORE BUT I WILL DEFINITELY KILL BOTH OF YOU."

"BE OUR GUEST! AFTERALL, WE, THREE, ARE NOW THE ONLY [DEVILS] IN EXISTENCE AFTER WE SLAUGHTER THE OTHERS. WELL THEN LUCIFER, ADIOS."

As Lucifer heard that Beelzebub and Mammon slaughter the other [Devils] he dive into silence as one missing [Pillar of Hell] will cause massive destruction to their own world.

He clenches his both fist as he angrily shouted at the [Nothing World].

Those damn bastard, If I just get out of here I'll slaughter the two of you and make you regret that wish you weren't born.

Millions and millions of years have passed and Lucifer is just wandering inside the [Nothing World], floating inside an infinite black world.

Then all of a sudden, a faint words hits his ears. But it's nothing like the voice of the other [Devil] but it sounds like more of a Human, a child.

"Geez... I'm already at my last breath but revenge is all I can think off. Isn't this the time where the 'life flashes before my eyes'? Darn it, I wish I can have a second chance—"

Wait what is happening? Who is that?

As Lucifer is staring above him a water-like hole opens up, he's seeing a human who is lying and almost dead at the street.

He then thought:

This could be it! My chance and my only hope.

With any wasting seconds, he gathers his very ounce of energy inside him to call upon the mysterious stranger who opens up a path between the two world.

"I HEARD YOU WANT REVENGE. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO HELP YOU?"

Once the voice of Lucifer reaches the consciousness of Killian, the boy was flustered that he's suddenly inside of the [Nothing World].

What? Is happening? Is this the place where the dead go after death?

His body is completely fine where the bended and broken bones are all in right shape and place.

He then look at his body.

"My body is... fine?" Killian asked.

Then an old, growling and solid voice reaches his ears.

"NO... WHAT YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IS JUST AN ASTRAL BODY AND NOTHING MORE. I JUST STOLE YOUR ASTRAL BODY FOR A MOMENT." Lucifer said as he look at the tiny human infront of him looking so dull, skinny and pale.

How can a human reach this dimensions? Plus, he even made a slight gate for his body to pass through. I thought Beelzebub and Mammon completely sealed me in this world amd yet this young and weak human with a little flow of [Mana] manage to create a tiny opening.

Hearing such unknown voice, Killian inevitably were shocked and got tripped from his own feet but he's floating inside the [Nothing World].

"What? Who are you? Where am I?" Killian said as he look at the humongous being being covered with black smoke.

"I AM THE DEVIL, LUCIFER AND YOU ARE INSIDE OF THE [NOTHING WORLD]." Lucifer said as he looks down at the lowly human.

Killian's eyes went wide when he heard the word [Devil] and wondered inside his mind.

Devil he said? I don't know what it is but based on his appearance he must be insanely strong. But first I need to ask him.

"What do you want for me?" Killian asked with bold attitude while looking at the humongous being who is clearly way out of his league.

"KEKEKE CONFIDENT, HUH? WELL THEN I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT FROM YOU."

Lucifer told him what exactly happened and the plans of the remaining [Devils] that are on the realm of Humans. Killian is just showing him a casual look like he's nothing to do with it.

Then Lucifer proposed something.

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MY [VESSEL]?"

Then the casual look of Killian changes after he hears the proposal of Lucifer amd think deeply whether he wants it or not.

Vessel? He wants me to be his [Vessel]. Based on what he said, his only goal is to kill the remaining [Devils] that ascend on our realm. But I'm not sure what he means about becoming a [Vessel]. If what I'm think is true, I'll just have to ask him.

"Hey Lucifer, what do you mean by becoming a [Vessel]?" Killian asked.

Lucifer looked at him with sharp gaze.

It looks like hey interested. Afterall, he wanted revenge.

"TO PUT IT INTO SIMPLE WORDS, I WILL ENTER YOUR BODY AND AS I ENTER, YOU CAN USE MY POWER. WHEN I HEARD YOUR VOICE, YOU SAID YOU WANTED REVENGE. YOU ARE ALMOST DEAD BUT I STOPPED YOUR BODY FOR DYING FOR A WHILE... SO CHOOSE HUMAN, WILL YOU ACCEPT MY OFFER OR DIE?" Lucifer said to him with a serious gaze.

I need to convince him he may be the only person who can help he to maintain the [Hell].

Now I get it. With that being said, his power must be insanely strong. Well I still wnat to live, so I guess I'll just have to accept it.

"Will I still retain my consciousness while your Inside of my body?" Killian asked.

"YES! I'LL JUST ENTER YOUR BODY THROUGH [CONTRACT] SO IN SHORT, 'YOU ARE ME AND I AM YOU'. BUT ONCE YOU ACCEPTED MY PROPOSAL THERE'S NO TURNING BACK."

Killian showed a face, a face of someone with a sadistic nature. It seems that the true nature and fate of Killian is really hidden inside that innocent face.

"Agreed. I'll accept your proposal." Killian said with a deadly and sadistic gaze and smile will full of confidence.

Excellent.

"KEKEKEKEK I LIKE THAT CONFIDENCE FROM YOU HUMAN. WELL THEN SHALL WE START SIGNING THE [CONTRACT]?" Lucifer said as he were being amused by such being who is standing with no fear infront of him.

Then as Lucifer is standing infront of Killian who is floating right infront of him. He then waved his hand and something smoky and a sphere like thing comes out on both of their bodies.

"What is that?" Killian said while looking at the orb covered in smoke. The orb that comes bout from Lucifer is significantly larger than the orb of Killian.

Then Lucifer answer.

"OUR SOUL. THE SOURCE OF OUR LIFE AND POWER. I'LL WILL MIX THESE TWO SOULS INTO ONE TO COMPLETE THE CONTRACT. I'LL USE MY ONLY LAST OUNCE OF POWER THAT IS LEFT WITHIN ME TO MIX THIS AND SEND YOU BACK." Lucifer said.

Lucifer uses the very ounce of his magic to mix the two souls where it forming like a storm where the wind-like is getting absorbed into the souls itself.

Argh. It's strong! Is this his magic? Only Adonis is the only person I know who can use magic but based on what I have seen to him, he's magic is only limited to his arms. So this is the magic of a Devil, amazing.

Then as the storm of energy is rushing inside the souls, it glows so bright that makes Killian cover both of his eye with his arms. Then the storm of energy stopped.

When Killian opened his eyes, a red apple is floating in infront of him as Lucifer waves his hand to move it towards Killian's direction.

"EAT THAT AND YOU WILL RECEIVED GREAT POWER THAT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN."

As it floats towards me, I grabbed the red fruit and looked at it with a serious gaze. This is the new step of my new journey. After I eat this I will embark on the new road.

Then without wasting any moment, Killian eat the entire apple non-stop as he finishes it.

"Is that all? That wasn't so bad." Killian said.

Then all of a sudden, his body is being tormented with excruciating pain. He grabbing his chest to the extent that most of his veins are about to explode. Rolling and screaming is heard by Lucifer as he look at the human.

"THAT IS JUST THE FIRST STAGE OF BECOMING ONE WITH ME. YOUR BODY IS SO FRAGILE FOR MY POWER, SO OUR COMBINED SOUL WILL RECONSTRUCT YOUR BODY TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN WITHSTAND IT AT FIRST DEGREE. YOU STILL NEED TO TRAIN FOR YOUR BODY TO WITHSTAND THE FULL EXTENT OF MY POWER. IF YOU SURVIVE THIS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO RELEASE AT LEAST 2%." Lucifer said while looking at the human who is rolling amd screaming in pain.

You must endure this because if our plan failed your world and my world will crumble into pieces.

Then the body of Lucifer is slowly disappearing into smoke amd entering the body of Killian through his mouth. The eyes of Killian is about nto explode as he's experiencing such tremendous force and pain being applied to his body.

"I WILL SEND YOU BACK NOW. LISTEN YOU MUST TRAIN AND LAY LOW FOR A WHILE. BECAUSE IF THE OTHER DEVIL NOTICE OUR PRESENCE THEY WILL INEVITABLY KILL US."
