Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player



As all those notifications appeared in Kaizen's vision as pop-ups, he moved his left hand and deleted them all at once. There was no time to read them with a demon right in front of him.

Kaizen gazed at Belial with a cold stare, still with the newly revealed secret echoing in his mind like a secret stolen from hell itself. He could feel the essence of the newly acquired ability pulsing inside him, but unlike usual, he chose not to activate it immediately. It was as if he was savoring the power before deciding how to use it.

"A demon stronger than you?" Kaizen asked, still digesting Belial's secret. "Who?"

"I don't know, he's never worked with me. He's quiet, reserved."

The demon Belial, for his part, seemed to be in internal agony at having been forced to admit that he wasn't the strongest. Silence hung over them, broken only by the subtle sound of the wind blowing through the ruins of what was once a city. 

"You surprise me, Belial. I expected a darker secret, but it seems that even the most cunning demon has his limits." Kaizen broke the silence once again, his words laden with subtle sarcasm.

Belial, despite his despair, couldn't help but wonder if the revelation of his secret was enough to guarantee his survival. Kaizen, with an almost bored expression, began to walk slowly around the demon, like a predator circling its prey.

With a simple blink, Kaizen undid the barrier that held Belial in the air. The demon fell to his knees, defeated and humiliated, in front of the human. 

Kaizen looked down at him, as if he were looking at an insect. "You've hurt three people here, apart from the hundreds of others, but don't worry, your death won't be quick, nor will I be the one to decide whether you live or die." He took a step back and retreated, and then Og'tharoz appeared, glaring angrily at Belial.

Og'tharoz's eyes, once filled with rage, now displayed concern mixed with fury. He stared at Belial for a moment before asking:

"Where exactly is Luna?" Og'tharoz's voice was calm, but there was a hint of pleading underlying it.

Belial, even though he knew he had already lost and was facing death, smiled, as if he was enjoying the situation. "Ah, sweet Luna... Og'tharoz, look, do you really think that something as pure as love would survive in hell? You think that if you find her, you can save her, don't you?"

The demon warrior's expression contorted with anguish. He lifted Belial by the neck, ignoring his weak resistance, and faced him.

"Anyway, if you want information about Luna, you'll have to earn it." Belial looked at Og'tharoz, even though he was being lifted. "You know, the first circle of hell is vast, and finding someone specific is not an easy task. But if you keep me alive, maybe, just maybe, I'll share what I know."

Og'tharoz clenched the fist of his other arm, fighting the urge to crush Belial right there, but released it. "All right, I'll let you stay alive, at least until you find Luna."

"That's good enough for me." Belial said, smiling.

"But not for me, I don't trust you, Belial," Kaizen declared as he took a step forward. "You know that I will never allow you to go free, nor will I allow you to return to hell alone. From now on, you will be nothing more than a slave." Kaizen drew a sword from his inventory, the Sword of Shadows.

At that moment, Belial had an ominous feeling, but he didn't want to believe it.
