Looking at the slightly illusory figure standing across him, Darius struggled to find the words to speak.
"L-Lord Enron!"
Without any hesitation, Darius fell down on one knee to show him respect.
Seeing Darius' reaction, Enron's face didn't change at all. Enron wasn't someone a lot of people would recognize but Darius knew his face all too well.
"Off all the bodies you could steal you choose my young master's! Hahaha, fate seems to not favor you."
Looking up at Enron who's face who lacked any emotion despite his laughter, Darius felt fear like he'd never felt before. When he heard the words 'young master's', his body completely collapsed on the ground.
He wasn't sure how this kid could be considered the young master of the Head of the Guardians of Death but the question could only have one of two answers, either he was Lord Death's bastard or he's the Demon's kid. Either way, as far as he could see, he was fucked.
Raising his hand slightly, Enron looked at Darius.
"Good bye."
"Wait! Wait! Wait!!!... Wait, let's work something out!"
Pausing, he stared at Darius for a second before replying.
"…I'm listening"
Darius started fidgeting like crazy, trying to think of something. He never expected it to work, he'd only said it as a last resort.
Looking around at the blank space that was Azreal's consciousness, he decided on a plan.
"Look at this kid's consciousness… It's completely blank, his mind is in a pathetic state"
Speaking up to there, Darius exerted a bit of strength and wave of energy spread across Azreal's mind changing it from its completely blank state into a new world. Azreal's consciousness now looked like an endless field with endless blue sky, a bright yellow sun, animals grazing, lush green grass growing but upon closer inspection everything in this new world was made up of runes, the grass, the animals, the tiny little insects flying about, everything.
"I could protect his mind, so something like this doesn't happen again, after all as the head of the guardians I'm sure you're quite busy even if it's only a wisp of your consciousness"
Still wearing his stoic expression, Enron still didn't completely lower his hand.
"That sounds good but that's your power. I don't want someone else to protect him. That would be pointless because he needs to be able to do it himself."
Darius was quick on his feet so he instantly picked up on what Enron was trying to say.
"Then I'll teach him how to become a Rune Master, I'll even teach him my [Kings Rune]!"
When Enron heard this he laughed a bit.
'A lot of people might not know but you were born with an incredible gift, you are able to see the world in a way that less than a hundred beings can.'
Enron closed his eyes then opening them after a few seconds. When he reopened them, they were completely blood red, the entire world around him changed. Around him were hundreds of strange creatures of all shapes swarming around in the air and interacted playfully with one another as if they were alive.
"The eyes that can see the truth. Hahaha, the young master doesn't have our gift so that little trick you do where you pull these little creatures together to form Rune Diagram won't be of much use to him. Besides, it's a coward's way of fighting. So, no thanks"
By the time he finished speaking, his eyes had already returned to normal. The way he looked at Darius was the way you'd look at an ant.
"Wait! Wait!! I'll...I'll teach him the real [Kings Rune]!!"
Enron immediately became intrigued.
"What do you mean the real?"
Sensing an opportunity, Darius didn't hold anything.
"What I've been using all these years was something I came up. I just channel energy through my fingertips and pull the little fellows in the air together and for a diagram using the same runes as everyone else. The true [Kings Rune] are too difficult to use in the moment so I rarely use them but because no one could see the little fellows in the air they always just assumed that what I did with my fingers is the real [Kings Rune]"
He then looked at Enron with hope in his eyes, only to see Enron looking back at him with a victorious smile. It didn't take much brain power to figure out that he'd been conned.
"You already knew?"
"Of course. Now that were in agreement, don't intervene in his life unless your teaching him."
Small light particles were being absorbed by Azreal's body, replenishing majority of his almost depleted Divine Energy while Enron's already illusory body started to fade even further. Before his body completely faded a black light shot out of his finger and entered Darius.
"Since that fucker called you his young master maybe getting stuck with you isn't bad at all. hahaha I'll make you a fucking monster whether you want to be one or not."
...…
Before Enron even left, Darius was forced to give up control of Azreal's body. And now that he was gone, the area was tranquil.
The moment Azreal opened his eyes, what greeted him was a palm filled with lightning knocking him out before he even had a chance to breathe.
When Azreal was unconscious, a slightly plump pig and a skinny one walked out of the bushes Circling Azreal's unconscious body, the skinny pig noticed a ring, Kyle's Ring.
Looking at the slightly illusory figure standing across him, Darius struggled to find the words to speak.
"L-Lord Enron!"
Without any hesitation, Darius fell down on one knee to show him respect.
