Courting Death System-Chapter 56: Past

Lucius sat in a meditation stance on the surface of a tranquil pool of blood but he didn’t cause any ripples. He was currently inside the pod-like training room.

"I see..." he had said softly as he opened his eyes which had changed from scarlet red to dark green. His eyes were very beautiful, like they were treasures in the form of eyeballs.

"So at the Noble Knight Rank and above, one starts to tread the path of Laws and that pig headed chef chose the Slaughter Law which I now control. Also, the Seal placed on my Law Power has been removed. But why is my Poison Law overwhelmingly stronger than the Slaughter Law? I’ll just have to ask master when he arrives."

After the collision at the restaurant, someone had secretly recorded everything that happened there and posted it on AW Media app where it blew up and became the number one trending video.

AW Media app is a social media app created by the Apocalypse Shop for permanent residents to use. It is very easy to use because you just have to tell your wristwatch what you want and it will do it perfectly for you.

Because the video was trending, it managed to reach Anya and Yezi who then inquired with their staff if Lucius had come. The employee whom Lucius had left his contact information with came forward and told them what happened. Anya and Yezi then contacted Lucius and asked for his address and they were currently on their way here.

<Lucius, your visitors have arrived.>

"Alright, I’m chiming. Just give me a few minutes."

...

Anya and Yezi were enjoying the fresh breeze under the shade of a big tree in Lucius’s garden. Old Yezi hadn’t changed a bit in all these years but Anya was a different story.

She had grown from a little girl to a fine lady of extreme beauty. She had on black lipstick and applied black eyeliner, long black hair with antler horns growing on her head, soft and smooth skin, a big chest and plump ass with perfect curves. She looked like a vixen from a dark cult. She was slightly inferior to Lolitron but still captivating in her own way.

When he saw her, Lucius didn’t recognise her one bit as he approached the duo from afar.

"Master!" he shouted and the duo looked at the man who was rushing towards them. Soon, Lucius stood in front of the duo with a big smile.

"Master, long time no see! So happy to see you." said Lucius while giving Old Yezi a big hug as he cried.

"Hahaha, it’s definitely been a long time, but I’m glad you’re back, haha." said Old Yezi while trying to hold back his tears.

After greeting Old Yezi, Lucius also greeted the tall lady that Old Yezi came with.

"Nice to meet you Miss." greeted Lucius while extending his hand for a handshake.

"You brat! Why are you treating me like a stranger?! Did you forget who took care of you when this useless geezer was away?!" said Anya as he pulled Lucius closer and hugged him. Because Anya was taller, Lucius found his face laying on her cleavage and was internally happy.

...

"Boy, where exactly were you these past thousands of years? Jeff said that you’d died on the mission he gave you after I pestered him everyday about your whereabouts."

"It’s a long story but since you came here, that means you’ve got time."

While sitting in the shade, Lucius told Yezi and Anya all that happened after Jeff took him away that day. He told them about the spatial tornado and where it took him, Rainbow and the Poison Cult and finally, the Space Pirates and the Andromeda Empire. He didn’t leave out anything except for the irrelevant information.

"WHAT?! How dare that ugly bastard! When we go back to the shop, I’m gonna curse him to eat his own shit everyday for the rest of his life!" said Anya angrily.

"Please don’t. That Jeff guy is definitely not simple. He wasn’t simple twenty thousand years ago, I’m afraid that now, his power is unfathomable. Plus, I’ve long forgotten about revenge and just want to enjoy my life so forget it." said Lucius.

"Anya, Lucius is correct. Jeff is an untouchable existence. If we provoke him, we might end up like those troublemakers ten thousand years ago so it’s best to put this matter behind us." said Yezi.

"Old man, you may be a coward but I’m not! I’m gonna get my revenge one way or another! Hmph!" said Anya and everyone remained silent.

"Enough about me, Anya, what happened to you? You’re so beautiful all of a sudden. And old man, why haven’t you changed a bit from when I last saw you and your strength, have you grown stronger?"

"What do you mean all of a sudden, I’ve always been beautiful!" exclaimed Anya.

"Lucius. There’s something I have to tell you. We’re actually not humans but witches. Like the elves, we have a very long lifespan and that results in such aging or growing up very slowly. Back when we were staying at my previous shop, Anya was only twelve thousand years according to your understanding but universally, she was only twelve.

Now, she’s thirty six years old universally. As for me, I don’t remember how old I am but I’m very old. That’s why I haven’t changed even after so much time has passed. As for the reason we lived in Fire Silver City, it’s because we’re hiding from our enemies. Now that you’re as strong as us, I’ll tell you everything. You see, we’re originally from the Diamond Cities and I was the Patriarch of the Volkmora family.

We were a Two Star family and the family with the highest chances of levelling up to a Three Star family, all because of my extremely talented son. Now, the way things work in the Diamond Cities, better known as the Diamond Realm, is that when a family advances to the next level, they have to invade another family and take over their territory. It was no secret that the Volkmora family and White Winged Clan were enemies and if we advanced, we’d definitely target the White Winged Clan.

So, before we reached that level, the White Winged Clan decided to strike first and destroy us before we grew too strong for them. The White Winged Clan attacked us when we least expected it, they slaughtered us like chickens and didn’t even want to keep a few family members as slaves. Fortunately, my son managed to repel the enemy forces with his terrifying prowess. The Volkmora family then started to decline and many of my family members seeked refuge with other families and clans.

My son also left the family, I also left the family to become one of the Deans of Starlight Academy. One day, my son came to me all bloodied and bruised while carrying a little baby girl and asked me to regress to the Noble Knight Rank and take care of the baby. The little baby was Anya whom I’ve raised to be a lady I’m proud to call my granddaughter. What I didn’t expect was for the White Winged Clan to continue hunting and killing my family members so I weakened myself even further then started my small business, Anya and Yezi Shop."
