Outcast Hunter

Jegudiel explained everything about the newly found S rank gate. It appeared near the hospital where Leo's mother was. The Hunters' Association had already measured the magic power coming from it and confirmed that it was really a S rank gate. Jegudiel believe that Leo and the others could take care of it by themselves. Without the help of the other remaining S rank hunters. He already asked for their consent in this one. And they understand what was going on. The S rank hunters' failure in their last raid kept them on the edge.

Jegudiel set the stage for Leo. His victory over the gate's boss will be publicly broadcast. They will show everything that will happen. With that, Leo's fame will skyrocket and people will see him as someone worthy to represent the country. So that he could join the tournament that will be held in just a few weeks..

Leo will raid the S rank gate two days after he came back. That's one day earlier to the gate getting force open. But before that, he has something to do and something to deal with.

Jegudiel and his secretary drove back to Hunters' Association. They still have matters to attend to. Leo and the other five were sitting on the sofa. With a serious look on their face. Jin and Djhin was still apologetic about what happened to the others. Especially to his brother.

"Can you stand up, Drago?" Leo said dryly.

The called one stood up from his seat. Leo had his sword in his right hand. And without batting an eye, he stabbed Drago, penetrating his body. He was surprised by it and couldn't react immediately. Leo just killed Drago in an instant. It's not because he blame anyone for what had happened to his brother, but to resurrect him back to life and make him immortal.

'Bring him back to life'

Drago gasped! The hole in his chest and his heart was gone. It was completely healed by Leo's power.

"You should have at least told me if you're going to do that!" Drago exclaimed. His brows was raised. "These girls are laughing! Are you two laughing at me?!"

Aophy and Devi suprpessed their laughter. They vigorously shook their head as they hid their face.

"Oh! I just saw it! You two laughed!"

"I'm gonna have to take a rest." Leo said. He was already walking to his room. "Umm, Jin can you show Aophy and Devi their rooms. And get to know each other." Leo locked the door of his room and threw himself in his bed.

"Uh, just like what you have heard. I am Jin and this is Djhin. And that one who always shout," Jin pointed his finger to Drago. "That's Drago. Please bear with his personality. He's not a bad guy."

Jin and Djhin both extended their hand. Aophy and Devi shook their hand and Jin showed them their rooms.

Leo was lost in his thought, when he finally decided to open the 9 messages left.

[The last three messages was Death's past.]

[Loading Death's past... Displaying Death's past in a minute...]

The very first Grim Reaper who became the very first Death. His name was Chastiel. His mother was the the next Queen of the Empire of Sudonia. And his father, a so-called merchant that travels around, selling valuable things. The two fell in love and Chastiel was the fruit of their love. He showed power greater than that of a normal person. With that, he became an outcast, feared by his own people. He lost his self-esteem.

His mother, the Queen died at the age of 26. Chastiel was currently 7 at the time. His mother didn't ate till she lost so much weight and caught a disease. It was because of his father. His father was the reason why his mother died. If he had not left his mother, she would still be alive.

He was supposed to be the next king of the Empire. But, he declined the throne and strive to look for his father and get his explanation and revenge for leaving them.

Whilst on the process of locating his father, he trained his skills and discovered that he has more than what any man could have. Just like what Leo and Grim suffered.

Leo was watching Chastiel's life went on like a spectator. He can't do anything nor speak through his mouth. A conclusion was starting to surge through his head. 'What if this 'Creator' Jegudiel and the others called my father too.' 'What if all past Death's power holder were all my brother?! If I look at some point, Chastiel's, Grim's and mine. The three of us were left by our father. What if...' There were so many what ifs.

Chastiel mastered the power of Death and made it apart of him. He was able to collect all thirteen Grace and were also finally able to confront his father, the Creator.

"My son, I am congratulating you from the depths of my heart. What is it that you wish to happen?"

Chastiel raised both brows. "Stop acting like you know nothing and tell me why you leaved us!" He was shouting at him. His pent up anger, his desire to punch him in the face struck in his mind. He launched from where he was, he clenched his fist and tried to pull a punch against his father, the Creator. Though he wasn't successful in doing so, because, a barrier was protecting him. He didn't back down. He still tried to break through the Creator's barrier. He used everything that he could and it was all for naught.

"Hah! Hah! You bastard! At least let me punch you in the face for leaving my mother!" Chastiel's memories of his mother made him vulnerable. He couldn't stop himself from crying. He could count his memories together with her mother in his hand. There weren't so many of them. Still, he knew himself that he loved his mother. "Did you ever loved her?!"

"I loved her, but, I have to leave. Your world will not be able to take my whole existence. And the body I was using, I could not keep it for long. That's why I have to leave you and your mother." The Creator said in his sincerest tone. He truly loved her and still love her.

Tears that was being held by Chastiel began pouring down his face. He was sobbing. His heart was aching for a long time and had been longing for the love of his parents.

The Creator was separated to Chastiel. The light where Chastiel was and the darkness where the Creator was. A place where time and space was split into two.

"You should state your wish. We are running out of time." There were so many things the two of them wanted to discuss. However, time was limited for both of them.

Chastiel was still sobbing when he finally decided to wiped it off his face. "If I'm going to make a wish, I want it to be a happy ending for me. I want you to bring my Mother back to life and I want to forget everything about you and this damn power if mine!"

To forget everything about his father, that would be the most hurtful words a father could hear from his son. "As you wish..." the Creator did say no more. He made Chastiel's wish come true. He sent him back to the Empire of Sudonia where his mother, the Queen was waiting for his arrival. Prepared to give him a warm welcome.

"Death's power will continue to grow and will continue to be pass down to the next generation."
