Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 630 The birth of Witches

Meanwhile, back at the place Lenny had initially met Athena, something else had happened there.

After a long time trying to quench the inexhaustible quarrel that Lenny and Athena had sparked there, the Agents of the Nether were finally able to destroy most of the creatures there and disperse the others.

There were a total of six of them. One of them came down from its nether beast, and unlike the others, it had a coat to cover most of its body. However, it went low and touched the soil below, picking up fading particles of the red substance that Athena had left behind.

It raised its head in a certain direction, "its Minnie's disciple!" this person muttered lowly. "Spread out; look for anything unusual. Bring her to me!"

.........................

Lenny raised a brow at Minnie's words.

After all, the implications were incredible.

Lenny had seen it with his own eyes, the people that had become forever stuck in the frozen dark sands of the Nether realm.

Those people, many of them had been witches and many others had been scholars with great dreams. They had come to the nether, a taste of adventure of the untamed land so has to discover its incredible possibilities.

However, their dreams would forever remain in the black sands of the Nether. After all this place was not a field trip that one could just visit and come back from.

According to Vinegar, no one had ever visited the nether and returned. As far as the outside world was concerned, they were all dead.

Then again, this was akin to death.

For this reason, no one ever wanted to go to the Nether. it was a very forbid place. But according to Athena, Minnie had the ability to not just come to the Nether but also leave.

"So there is a way out of this place." Lenny added.

"Yes, but No! its not so easy. Minnie had the ability to come and leave, but it has a lot of complications, and she had only come here a few times, all of which were by mistake and had to do with complications with her powers.

This was how she learned how to survive here."

Another question popped up in Lenny's head: "Where is Minnie now?"

"I was getting to that part," Athena explained.

"Everything I know about how to survive in this place was taught to me by Minnie. Basically, she taught me the fundamentals of how to become a witch. After what had happened between her and you, she had become very scarred; she would rather live in the Nether than go back.

And it took a long time of convincing before she agreed.

They are two points of possible escape out of the Nether. The first point is nearly impossible to follow."

"What of the second?" Lenny quickly asked. "The second is not nearly impossible. But it is totally impossible to follow. That Gate is guarded by..." she paused, taking a deep breath before she mentioned it, "It is guarded by Angels!"

"Angels?" Lenny asked, sounding a bit sarcastical. However, he noticed that Athena was serious.

"Aren't Angels supposed to be in heaven or something?"

"Angels are heavenly beings that act as direct servants to the One Above All. They are in eternal servitude to his will. these ones are no different. Their duty is to guard against any and all beings that may use the gate to the world of the living."

Those words did not sound right in Lenny's head. After all, he had seen Witches do their summons, casting black runes that summoned the creatures of the Nether.

As far as he was concerned, the existence of the gate was redundant.

However, Athena could tell what he was thinking and further explained....

.....The Nether was created by an Entity beyond Entities with the sole intention of invading reality. The entire nether is like a passage, like a waiting room for athletes before a match.

The Gate was supposed to be the end of the tunnel on one?side. If the gate was left open, the creatures of the Nether could invade reality as they see fit without obstruction. They would flood all the realms with the sole goal being to bring about the end of all.

The Angels that stand before it have been there since the beginning, standing guard for all eternity, their sole duty and reason for existence.

With them there, the only way that nether creatures can make it into the world would be through summons. A skill that no being in the world possessed except humans beings, creatures made to be the most perfect of beings by the One Above All.

The Human potential was truly boundless.

The second way out of the Nether, involved summoning. This was the method that Minnie had always used out of the nether.

It involved the use of Nether creatures.

But not just any Nether creature, but Nether creatures that have a pact with a human.

This was where the management by the Agents of the Nether came to play.

Only creatures that have a pact can be summoned to reality. This deal was signed with Knights of the Nether, a long time ago, the wisest man to ever Live.

It was signed by King Solomon the Wise. As the wisest man to have ever lived, he figured out that man would meet its end at the hands of Demons in thousands of years to come, and in an attempt to preserve his kind, he made the pact with the Knights of the Nether that gave birth to the first Witch.

With the deal established, he was able to affect the cosmic law, and it was so, that during the apocalypse, no witch's territory would ever be touched as it signified a connection to the Nether.

Of course, in exchange for this, the continuous summons of the Nether creatures was ensured.

Of course, the situation is far more complex than it looks. According to Minnie, the Knights of the Nether believe that the creatures summoned perform the will of Lady Darkness destroying reality. They do not know that those creatures serve humanity there... A trick of King Solomon The Wise she added...
