Chapter 86 { Ian's Past }
World of Death
There were fierce disturbances taking place inside where blood splattered right and left as Yassin was the first to charge forward and behind him were Chris , Asia , Mazino , and Liu as the strongest among them.
Titan's army had transformed after this setback and became truly terrifying !, they no longer held back ( although they were never like that ) but began pressing every ounce of energy within them to gain power.
From the back the donkey moved slowly in the form of Yassin and in his hand was a large spear and in a moment he activated the Soft Staff Art and struck one of the soldiers on his back which opened blood along his entire back. The soldier's body stiffened and he screamed as he fell to the ground but he did not care and quickly stood up again and began fighting better and better. This was the wonder of the Soft staff skill which with every strike would deliver more and more experience to the soldiers and grant them a huge push of understanding and abilities derived from Yassin.
The matter continued until the group reached the Lord's location , a massive snake with three heads and the body of a giant lizard and behind it were three Lotus Flowers that return the dead to life.
" Hurry " Yassin shouted and advanced.

Upper World.
" I heard you want my daughter , consider her an engagement gift " Azar laughed which embarrassed Luna but her eyes were on Ian awaiting his response.
" Sorry , I have no interest in women " Ian said and suddenly his voice turned into the voice of an old man a thousand years old.
Azar was surprised for a moment but maintained his smile " I was joking Noble , I am only thanking you for saving the city and I sincerely hope you remain with us until the situation calms down ".
Because of the infiltration of demons through the formations and the city's defenses there was now a state of uncertainty and suspicion filling the entire city even among the generals and some others which made the atmosphere tense and at any moment another wave of chaos could arise and another battle could begin and this time it would be worse.
" Where is the demon colony ? " Ian asked.
" Noble you are not planning to go there alone " Azar was surprised " although I thank you for this and I know you will not fall easily but going there means your death ".
" Why ? , I can kill their nobles easily no one will stop me " Ian said calmly.
" Hmmmmm. Has Your Excellency heard of Noot ? " Azar suddenly said.
" No " Ian said and he was no longer concerned whether they discovered he was from below or not. He now had power that protected him and also it was not as if denying something like that would not attract them to him.
" Then it seems Your Excellency is not from here " Azar thought – as we expected he is not from here otherwise how could he not hear about this monstrous genius – " Noot or what is known as the Beast is the fiercest genius that has appeared in the region. He simply dominated Peak Academy which is considered the best sect present and crushed its greatest geniuses and elders and it is even said that he defeated the leader of the academy at the Sacred Level but this statement was never proven. However the true confirmed fact is that he went to the demon colony and even he returned torn apart and severely injured and was honestly on the verge of death ".
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
" Why " Ian was surprised.
" We do not know the details and he did not share them but Sir Arthur said that there is a group of Sacred demons there " Azar said with concern.
" A group !! " Ian was surprised " all this power and they have not flattened your city yet ".
" They cannot move " Azar sighed with a hint of sorrow " the Temple of Light here prevents them from carrying out a large scale operation and we still have Sir Arthur although he is currently injured he is a true Light Knight with Sacred Level training , and Marshal Tacho with half a step to this level and General Kyos the strongest after them , these three guarantee our survival ".
" Was not your Marshal outside ambushed by them ? " Ian asked.
" No " Azar shook his head " the truth is no but I cannot tell you.
In any case the Marshal has already returned and he has summoned all the seniors for an emergency meeting tomorrow morning ".
Ian nodded with understanding and did not ask further.
" I will not take more of the Noble's time , but I will visit you again after the meeting tomorrow as there is still a deal that has not been finished " Azar said pointing to the Longevity Fruit.
Ian nodded calmly and did not speak.

Outside Luna said after a long silence " Father , am I that bad ? ".
" You are not but it seems he is wounded , let us ignore the matter for now " Azar said and they left.
>>>>>>>
Inside Ian sat quietly remembering something from the depths of his consciousness, a memory he never liked to recall, but Luna's appearance now and her words reminded him of it.
Ian at the age of 18 stood before a man wearing a wolf mask with a tall body completely covered in black.
" It is time for your final mission Dark " the man said and took out a box and presented it to Ian " after that you will be free and you will no longer have any relation with us. If you want you can continue with us or not, that is your matter ".
Ian nodded calmly and opened the box only to freeze at the picture inside.
" Her !!!! , impossible " Ian shouted.
" What is impossible about it ? , is it because she is your wife !!! , hahahahahahahaha , foolish Dark did you really think we would not know about your secret marriage. It is your final mission and your only way to atone for your sins. The first is not killing that previous target and lying to us and the second is that you married in the first place which violates our doctrine ".
They were a secret organization whose purpose was assassination for special targets and like any organization they had their doctrines, and doctrine meant the supreme law that could not be broken, and one of them was not marrying especially from a target that should have died which placed Dark / Ian in a difficult position.
Ian stared at the man while clenching his fists so hard that his nails pierced the flesh and blood spilled onto the ground.
The man patted Ian's shoulder " I will see you later my little Dark ".
Ian stared at the picture and the departing man while resisting the idea of killing him with everything he had but he had already made his decision. He would certainly not kill his wife. But the bad things did not stop there as Dark returned to his home to find his wife bathed in her blood with marks of torture everywhere and in her swollen stomach indicating that she was pregnant a knife buried deep. The killer did not only kill his wife but killed her brutally and killed the fetus inside her.
Ian's expression froze and he fell to the ground "Serrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrra".
" Dark I am not a fool, as the person who raised you I know your heart well. You would never be able to kill her but you must kill her. The path of blood does not begin except by killing your soul ( the closest person to you ) with your own hand then you will be freed from the chains of humans and become a true assassin. I will wait for you. I know you will seek revenge against me and you will even kill me as well, but as your teacher I advise you not to do this because you know the hornet's nest behind me and you know their power and how they will pursue you. You have obtained your salvation and I advise you to use it and run. Run Dark, run to the farthest ends of the earth and never return ".
The voice of the wolf mask appeared in the room from nowhere and disappeared to give birth to one of humanity's most terrifying nightmares, the assassin Dark who would cast the world into his shadow for four full years and kill many great figures which caused sensitive vacancies in many leadership positions in different countries.
Dark??????
