Adias Floryn: Get Back The Kingdom
Part 34: The Past of Blaire and Azka

“Azka huh? Hm.. If the rumors are true, then.”

“Absolutely. Right now, he was being cooped up inside the Dungeon Tower and could not get out of there because his body was already entered by the Devil.”

“But you're sure he's still alive? Hasn't his soul been taken by the Devil?”

“No.. My son Blaire stopped Azka yesterday when he was at Raftel Academy, and apparently his soul did not really die, but could still rebel and try to regain consciousness. Blaire tried to resuscitate him but could not, because it was disturbed by other Devils throwing walls while they were focusing on purification.” 

“Alright, if the dungeon business is certain I will be summoned by the Guild party to settle the dungeon.. Why do you care so much about a man who has already turned into a Devil?” Ask the curious Iaros.

Rein his expression turned mellow and began to reminisce, going back in time.

*Flashback-blown..

“Azka! Lookie!! It's in the big fish in the river!” blaire is 7 years old.

“Wahh, yes..very big.. Surely if we get the fish, we will not starve for a month.” Reply Azka who is also the same age.

“Yeah, that big is also kali.”

“Azkaa, Blaiiiire, do not get close to the river, will fall loh.” said Rein who came after them. “Hei, Reynald! your son is here!” rein shouted at Azka's father, Reynald.

Reynald immediately ran over and approached the two of them. “Heii, wait, boy base.”

“Blaire, looks like our parents are looking for us. Come immediately back deh.” said Azka while looking back. 

However, Blaire did not listen at all and still looked at the river from a short distance because she was fascinated with the big fish. 

“Wahh~” 

“Krek.. Byurr...” Suddenly, the stone he used as the pedestal of his hand was mired down to make it fall into a deep and swift river. 

“Aghh, Tol– ongg– Haks– Uh–” Blaire tried to swim up to the mainland, but still difficulty because of the current is quite heavy.

“Blairee!!”

“Byurr.” Azka went into the water, grabbed Blaire's hand with difficulty, then raised Blaire's head up. Blaire could finally breathe. But unfortunately they were both dragged by the rushing water. 

“No, I do not want to die.” said Blaire because he saw the rocks in front of him that could have hit him very hard.

And sure enough, right in front of the two of them was a very large stone and was ready to hit them both.

“Aaaaaa!!” Shouted Blaire.

“Byurr!!” Azka drowned Blaire back and hugged her very tightly. Azka pointed her back towards the stone as a protector for herself and Blaire.

“A-Azka!?” inner Blaire while clutching in the arms of the skinny man.

“Dugg!!” 

“Buahh.!!”

With a bang, the man's back hit the big rock to make him lose consciousness and lose his breath because he was in the water. 

“Azka!!” he screamed in his heart. Blaire was so shocked to hear the impact sound in the water that it should have been almost impossible. 

Azka's embrace grew more and more stretched, and the two of them ended up stranded on the edge of the river whose flow was quite calm. 

“Azka!! Wake up, Azka?” blaire said frantically as she moved Azka's body. 

“No, this is impossible.” Blaire's tears began to drip down Azka's cheeks. However, he later recalled seeing a soap opera with his father when the man gave artificial breath to the woman because she had drowned on the bottom of the sea. The woman was also rescued.

“Excuse me.. Azka..” Blaire put her hair aside and gave her artificial breath through her mouth.

“Ohh, so you owe him for saving your son.

“Yes, that's absolutely right. We are deeply indebted and it looks like now is the right time to pay it back. We could not bear to see him suffer to be such a Devil and not be willing to label him as a sinner. He's innocent! It's just that he was pressed so that he went on the wrong path.”.

 “Ohh, so.. So you're asking me to cast out the Devil that's inside him while I finish the dungeon that's at school?”

“Yes, I beg you very.”

“Wah, but what a pity yes, Rein. I am not a psychic, or have the ability to purify humans who have been possessed by the Devil.”

“But if there's a Steve for sure, it's just that he seems to be going on a mission.”

“If it's quiet, Mr. Ruky who is the vice principal of Raftel Academy has that ability. She is able to perform purification magic because from the beginning she was a light witch.”

“Alright, surely the guild party after this will come to see me even though I am in a condition to enjoy the holidays. Hah.. sucks.”

“Hahahaha, sorry to have inconvenienced.”

“Aww!!” accidentally, Blaire's finger sliced while peeling an onion. Blood dripped bit by bit from his finger.

.

“It's okay,” Blaire said with a smile to calm Thea's panic.

“Cannot be like this.” Thea immediately grabbed Blaire's hand and healed her. “Heall!!” the wound instantly closed.

“Thank you, Thea.” said a smiling Blaire with a sad look. 

“I heard everything loh.” muttered Blaire who turned out to have a fairly sharp sense of hearing.

***

“We're home.” Said Iaros while opening the door.

“Ah, have arrived huh?” said Iris who brought warm drinks for the girl who was sitting casually in the living room of her house.

“Sisca?” Iaros.

“Hai, please sit.” said Sisca please sit down.

“This is my home, why do you allow me to sit?” rebut Iaros, who sat down at the ends as well. Dias and Sherla went straight inside. 

“Eits, you also sit here first,” said Sisca who stopped Thea and Dias. They both obeyed him and sat beside Iaros.

“So, what brings you here? Ah yes, make me coffee, Iris,” pinta Iaros on Iris who walks towards the kitchen.

“Iya, yes.” reply.

“Hmm, actually we want to ask you to do the mission again. You must have guessed it, right?”

“Dungeon tower in Raftel Academy isn't it?”

“Absolutely. But that's not all. Mr. Griamore predicts that the Devil nation will start destroying this earth soon.”

“Nation Demon?”

“Yes, more details later to be explained by the guild leader directly. After this, let's come with me there.”

“Good.”

“No need!!” Suddenly, a white-bearded old man came to open the door of the house tightly.

“Brakk!!”

“Woyy!!, slow broh, this is not your house, Old Man, aish.” Iaros said.

“Mr Griamore..” said Sisca while bowing as a form of respect. 

Then Griamore looked for a seat and immediately occupied it. “Hahaha, you stay as rough as you used to be huh, Iaros.”

“Who is not rude if his guest behaves like that.”

“Alright, I'll talk seriously this time. Um.”

Afterwards, Griamore recounted a picture of the future he had just seen in his dream. He told it very nicely and interestingly, thus making them all listen very seriously. The devil will destroy life on this earth. Both suffering and sadness begin to grow slowly until it completely destroys the whole life. 

“Iaros, this time always invite Dias to explore the dungeon with you. He had to be trained and forged his strength in order to defeat the Demon King, Azazel.” 

“Azazel? same as spoken by Halvar.” Inner Dias.

Looking at the curious Dias from the expression on his face, Griamore asked, “Dias, do you want to know what Demon King Azazel looks like?”

“Neither, I have read in the book,” said Dias refused the offer Griamore to tell a story.

“Alright, even so I will keep the story.”

“Select, up.” 

“The Demon King Azazel is one of the Demon Lords who has extraordinary powers compared to the other Devils. He has the ability to teleport wherever he wants. Then he has an absolute defense using dimensional, after which he can also create a world that is not bound by time, can deny all effects, can exchange reality with illusion, can change the world, has unlimited stamina and speed and many more capabilities.”

“well, it's the same as I read in the book,” said Dias.

“Ehm.. Then go straight. The first thing you have to do is to exterminate the dungeon in Raftel Academy.”

“Alright, but why should we?” Ask Iaros.

“No special reason. The guild was quiet again, so I looked for the closest one from the guild. You're in again, right?” Griamore reply accompanied by a question sentence. 

“Yeah, we just finished from the task already given a new mission again.” Iaros said that it is true if he had previously ventured to finish the dungeon around with Iris. 

“Then it starts tomorrow, you should have already departed,” command Griamore who replied lazy nod by Iaros.
