Chapter 25: Seeking Truth
One century had passed since Niel's breakthrough to stage 1 Dark demon Realm. His existence sent shivers down the spines of all demons in Hell. His sole mission was to destroy rogue demons, but first, he needed answers.
For years, Niel searched for the truth about his past, but every lead ended in a dead-end. Desperate, he sought out Priestess Veron.
Niel bowed upon arrival. "Priestess Veron, I welcome your guidance."
"Ah, Niel, what brings you to my humble abode?" she asked.
Niel's gaze locked onto hers. "I need answers. I can't remember who I am or who my family is. I only see flashes of their suffering."
Priestess Veron's expression turned solemn. "Some secrets, young Niel, are better left untold."
Niel's face darkened. "Then tell me, I can handle it."
She smiled enigmatically. "Not yet. If the secret is revealed before the right time, chaos will ensue."
Niel's frustration grew.
"When the time is right," Priestess Veron continued, "you will meet the Star Shatterer. She will guide you to your destiny."
Niel's eyes narrowed. "My Star Shatterer?"
Priestess Veron's smile hinted at hidden knowledge. "Patience, Niel. Your path will unfold."
