Mortal Dao

Appearing in a different section of the academy I used a few minutes to find a secluded area and set down a formation to hide my presence and sat in the lotus position.

I had no idea that Nen would show up, a shame that I can't kill him. His master is someone I do not want to make an enemy of.

"Why did you accept that deal?" A calm, tempting and sinful voice asked and my eyes immediately snapped open and observed my surroundings. A frown formed on my face and I borrowed my eyes when I saw the room was empty, there was no sign of the man.

"Why are you here? I know you have better things to do than watching me." I said and went back into meditation, this bastard won't do anything to compromise me.

"Well said, my boy. But you have been quite intriguing as of late. With your battle against Priya and the moves, you've been making I have to say I'm impressed. You would've been a great Fallen." The voice said.

If only he knew how close I was to be one.

"You gonna show yourself or just continue talking to me?" I asked. I didn't care if this guy showed himself or not. I guess I'm just trying to make small talk.

"Nah, I'm good where I am. So, do you know what your Mortal Dao will be Hakari?"

I shook my head, "Yes and No. I want to have three or four Mortal Daos but I only have two selected right now." I responded, selecting a Mortal Dao is harder than I thought initially. Is it because there are too many options or because I'm an Abyssal Demon so my potential and path are limitless?

"Let me guess wisdom is one of them?" The voice spoke, and I showed no reaction but that was enough for him to chuckle, "It was an easy guess. Abyssal Demons know every dao in creation, the only reason why you haven't unlocked all of your abyssal traits yet was that your abyssal bloodline is from the Original Abyssal Demons. Your body was far too weak to take on those traits but now that your body cultivation is in the Second Order you should be fine when you reach the Realm of Dao."

I nodded my head in agreement, he was right. I had no idea that the Original Abyssal Demons existed until I looked into my bloodline, it can be said that I lucked out since if getting one wasn't possible then I would've settled for a first-generation bloodline.

I wonder how much of a monster I will be when I reach the Realm of Dao. With the arcana I've built up now I would go straight to the peak of Heavenly Transformation.

"Be that as it may it doesn't explain why you have been watching me specifically. What about Alucard? You guys are just going to let him walk?" I asked. Fallen looked down on demons and devils. I don't know the reason why but it was clear as day that they don't view them the same, there were only a few devils who have gained acknowledgment of the Fallen and that was due to those devils being strong enough to match up to them.

But I don't blame them. It wouldn't be wrong to say it was there right, Fallens are naturally far stronger than devils and they are their minions. Demons and Devils were dogs of the Fallen, that is a truth known by all. It's why the Kings and Princes of Hell stay as far away from Fallen business as possible, they know they are expendable so won't dare do anything regarding them unless they are summoned, but even that is rare.

But like I said, it's a truth known by everyone. Demons and Devils are two of the ten strongest races in creation but it is known by all that the Fallen are the true Lords of Hell. After all, who would want a Demon or Devil when you can have a Fallen from Heaven?

"He's only a mere Devil. The bastard spawn of that Baroness who is part of the seventh layer, we could kill him at any time we see fit, but we see no reason to. He will be a sacrificial pawn for the endgame if necessary so it's in our best interest to let him live. But don't worry, Azrael is already neutralizing him." The voice revealed, "He did tell you about all the missing souls right?"

So that's the reason why. Well like I said this has nothing to do with me.

"Hope you all have fun," I said, after feeling his presence vanish I went back into deep meditation pondering over what daos to increase my comprehension.

I've already made space and time my foundational daos but that doesn't mean I can learn more, while I haven't unlocked my abyssal ability to have peak dao comprehension of all daos that doesn't mean my comprehension ability isn't reality-shattering.

After spending a few hours in deep comprehension I opened my eyes and released a deep sigh.

"Just like that in a few hours, I reached the peak of the fifth layer of dao comprehension in Blood and Illusions. This is just broken as fuck, no wonder Abyssal Demons are not allowed to leave the abyss. Who the fuck would be able to stop them other than the Angels and the Fallen?" I said, still in complete awe of the advantages of an Abyssal Demon, even though I've been one for nearly a decade.

"But who would've thought that I would gain insight into something like this while increasing my comprehension of Heavenly Dao." I said with a smile on my face.

I finally decided what my final two Mortal Dao would be.
