    Chapter 421 -Ronin''s Past


    "I''ve killed many demons and devoured their souls to grow stronger, encountering countless dangers along the way. It was a repetitive cycle, killing without a second thought until I became numb. I lost count of how many demons I''ve in."


    "Arrogance consumed me, and I sought revenge against my own family. Eventually, I seeded in killing every member of my family, including our duke lineage."


    "After extinguishing a noble bloodline with my own hands, my notoriety escted. Many pursued me, but I killed them all. The Demon God remained indifferent to my actions, his face unseen for trillions of years. This fueled my recklessness, and I continued to assassinate even stronger demons for rewards."


    "My actions stirred the seven generals, beings on the level of gods, to intervene. Yet, I managed to outwit them, escaping theirbined attacks without a scratch. While I was weaker than these generals, I kept killing and escaping with ease."


    "Killing became my purpose, and I defined the very concept of assassination. I forged my ownw of assassination, bing a feared figure within the demon realm. Over time, I ascended to the level of the seven generals."


    "I resolved to hunt down these generals individually, but their problematic skills, bestowed by the Demon God, made them near-immortal. They possessed primordial sins and were bound to the Abyss itself, making them unkible."


    "I even attempted to assassinate the Demon God himself, but I came to realize he was absent from the demon realm. It seemed likely he had perished long before."


    "I foresaw that the Seven Generals would eventually notice his absence, causing the demon realm to inevitably fracture. The unity among the generals was solely upheld by the Demon God''s influence, whichpelled them to adhere to hismands."


    "Indeed, after billions of years, other powerhouses became aware of the Demon God''s disappearance, causing the empire he once ruled to crumble. The Seven Generals then made the decision to divide the territory among themselves."


    "The influence of the Seven Deadly Sins, which had been embodied by the Seven Generals, grew more potent. They came to realize that they now held authority over every sin they held, confirming their hypothesis that the Demon God had perished."


    "As a result, they have ascended to the status of the current rulers of the demon realm, collectively known as the Seven Demon Kings."


    Ronin narrated his story to Dave, painting a vivid picture of his past. Dave couldn''t help but apud Ronin''s bravery for daring to challenge the Demon God, the embodiment of the Abyss itself.


    The revtion of such a shocking history left Dave pondering – if he was truly the Demon God, why did he disappear and reincarnate in this world?


    A being synonymous with evil and the embodiment of demonic nature.


    "After that, I heard that one of the members of the Ten Commandments imed that they had killed the Demon God upon learning of his apparent demise."


    "Of course, none among the Seven Demon Kings or ancient demons like me believed this, as even if they were to join forces, they could not have in the Demon God."


    "They were simply attempting to bolster their image, aiming to appear stronger and gain more followers by asserting that they had eliminated the source of evil in the universe, the Demon God."


    "In response, I decided to cease hunting demons due to my growing boredom. I departed from the demon realm and sought out more formidable opponents."


    "I initiated chaos, assassinated powerful powerhouses, and even took on the God Race for my own amusement."


    "While I achieved sess in ying numerous gods, they would return after billions of years. Thus, I chose to go into hiding and devise a method to permanently eliminate them without allowing them to be resurrected."


    "I embarked on silent journeys through various worlds. Despite my extended dormancy, my reputation as the Assassin King persisted, and I remained feared by many."


    "New gods were emerging until I finally stumbled upon a primordial me and subdued it, nearly dying from its intense heat."


    Ronin showed Dave his ck mes, and Dave nodded, aware of the strength of primordial mes.


    He didn''t need the mes and didn''t n to steal his subordinate''s treasure, even though he knew Ronin would willingly give him the me if he wanted to.


    "After bing the master of the Primordial me-Abyssal me, my power rose to another level."


    "I decided to try using it, but then I encountered an arrogant God from the Ten Commandments—Azrael, the God of Darkness. He imed to be nning to kill me due to my skill rted to darkness."


    "As he was a perfect medium, I toyed with him, but he proved to be strong, and I struggled to easily kill him."


    "We battled for thousands of years until I finally improved myw of assassination, evolving it to a higher level called absolute assassination."


    "I managed to kill the God of Darkness due to my evolution, using my primordial me to burn his soul, preventing his revival."


    "Exhausted from the fight with Azael, I decided to rest. However, I didn''t expect to be hunted by the Goddess of Light. While I could have fought her if I were in good condition, she attacked me when I was exhausted."


    "I managed to escape, but I sustained grave injuries due to her lethal skill, which is especially potent against demons."


    "After killing Azael, I caused chaos in the God Race. The death of such a powerful god made them more fearful of me."


    "I wanted to rest and recover my energy. At that time, a man appeared in front of me, but I couldn''t see his face."


    "His image was blurry, and I was wary of him. I only heard him say a few words, but I can''t recall what they were."


    "After saying those words, I lost my vision and didn''t know how I appeared in the tower where I met you, my lord,"


    Ronin said, and Dave had gained much information about Ronin.


    "Azael?"


    "Demon God?"


    "That mysterious person,"


    Dave mumbled, feeling that the mysterious person was rted to the memories of the 4 spirit beasts.


    He decided not to dwell on it, sent Ronin off, and gave him some time to rest, as he deserved it for providing him with information.
