Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner



After all the Demons left, Legolas collapsed on the ground.

The pain from the Demon's torture remained but that was not what really affected him at this moment, it was the pain deep in his heart.

That pain of defeat and his fear for the worst.

On the ground, he buried his head in his legs in defeat.

'BOW BEFORE THE NEW ERA OR DIE!' The memories haunted him.

'BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!'

'BOW BEFORE ME!'

'I SHALL LAY WASTE TO YOUR LIVES AND ALL YOUR INHABITATIONS!

'YOU ALL SHALL DIE!' He felt goosebumps and fear as the voice reverberated in his head, as if intent on reminding him about his failure and death.

Memories flashed in his head like it was just yesterday it happened.

Memories of when the Psychic Release was unleashed as Planet Darvis was plunged into a trajectory of death. He remembered Planet Darvis flooded in blood.

He could see it replaying in his head as Army Commanders mutated, going rogue and fighting against their own squads. He could see the Space Bugs laying waste to millions of lives in the chaos that ensued.

President Shanks' death also replayed in his head.

After years of developing the planet together, he already became close friends with the President. Watching his friend die before him without being able to do anything, that feeling of helplessness really sank in like a disease.

He watched as everything accelerated to the last moments.

He watched as all of them threw safety to the wind to give it all into fighting the Bug Emperor. He watched as for the first time in his life, he sacrificed his sanity which was usually his greatest weapon in wars for raw strength.

He watched as the Skyrim King sacrificed everything, including Champion Onana, then he watched as his very first student was crippled.

Watching Christensen being crippled, perhaps that was when the fuse switched in his head the wrong way, he simply forgot sanity at that point.

Despite all the sacrifices, in the end, it was not enough.

Power was power.

He watched a lot of them die then, now all he could think of was. 'They watched me die'.

'Uranus watched me die'. He felt something gripping his heart.

He refused to cry. Watching him die, he could already guess the outcome of his last student and his adopted son, they would not hesitate to go to hell with him.

Legolas felt a bitter taste in his mouth, he twisted his lips and spat on the hot volcano island. 'F*ck weakness'.

He ruthlessly cut his mind off it the next moment. 'There's no use thinking about the past, my soul survived and that's all that mattered'.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. 'If this so-called Universal Treasure didn't get my soul, does that mean souls really dissipate after death?'

'There goes my answer then, what follows death is nothingness'.

He finally found the time to smile, a smirk even. 'My future is not decided yet and that's all that matters'.

He accessed his virtual interface again.

Legolas clenched his right fist and instead of his normal green Summoner energy, the same black sinister energy that the demons used gathered in his hand.

He grinned. 'I never expected to get stronger even in death'.

'This means I can now use magic but…' His eyes narrowed. 'I've always been a Summoner, I don't mind learning basic defensive Demonic magic spells but I'll always see myself as a Summoner, I don't want to become a Mage'.

'Learning defensive Demonic magic spells is the best that I'll go'.

'Besides, the Underworld Summoning and Demonification Magic just opened a whole new level of options to me in battle'. He smirked.

'What follows next after this is how to escape'.

He accessed his game interface again.

-----

[You have triggered New Mission: Escape from Hell!]

[Mission Details: You still have a chance to win the battle. Use your brain to piece the puzzles, go back in time and escape the hell of the Underworld.]

[Mission Reward: ???]

----

Legolas picked the keyword. 'Go back in time'.

'Does that mean there is a power or an existence here in this Underworld that can help me go back in time? It's obviously a hint'.

His eyes widened the next moment. 'If I can go back in time, that means not just escaping the Underworld, but likely being able to go back to the battle".

Legolas' eyes shone. 'A second chance!'

'If I utilize it well, history may change'.

'All that I need is proper planning'.

'I've decided to use brute force once and it didn't work out, I have no choice but to return to my normal staple, my brain, that's my only way to win'.

'First, I need a plan'. His eyes gleamed.

Standing up, he looked at the Demon Asura that he just tamed. "Tell me all that you know about the Underworld".

The Demon Asura nodded profusely. "The Demon Master Zorgoth is the strongest Demon assigned to this Underworld and is a Grade A Demon Master".

"With me, there are 5 Demon Asuras".

"The total number of the other Demons in this Underworld are numerous".

"There are three major regions in this Underworld, the 3 peaks".

"This region is called the Inner Underworld and is closest to the innermost region, the Demon Master's Sanctuary".

"This is where all interesting specimens like you are kept until the Demon Master finally comes for inspection to send you to the All-Father's Underworld".

"As for the last region, it's called the Outer region".

"That is where all the weak specimens are kept".

Legolas rubbed his chin. "You speak eloquently for a Demon".

"I am a Grade B Demon Asura".

"Oh…, continue then".

For the next few minutes, the Demon Asura kept on revealing different facts about this Underworld. When he was done, Legolas asked a question.

"You said that Necromancers don't lose their memories here, is it true?"

"Yes". He nodded respectfully.

"Nice…" Legolas rubbed his head as ideas flowed. "That makes things so much easier". His eyes gleamed.

"Also, my case of recovering my memories, is this the first case?"

"It is extremely rare but you are not the first case. During the first few days of being brought to the Underworld, souls have the tendency of recovering their memories through different impulses but we try to prevent it".

"We prevent it by creating this environment fit only for Demons".

"Unless you're a Demon, you have nothing in common with this environment that will stimulate your memories which makes your case very peculiar".

Legolas nodded in deep thought. "After the first few days, what happens?"

"By then, the light of the Universal Treasure would have seeped deep into their soul, merging with it. Then, they become total clean souls, they no longer have any hopes of ever recovering their memories".

"How many days does this usually lasts?"

"10 days".

"How many days have I spent here?"

"4 days".

Legolas' eyes gleamed. 'That means those 2 still stand a chance'.

He looked at the Demon Asura again. "The other Demon Asuras, do they have the same power level as you?"

"I am stronger than only one, the others are stronger than me".

"The 3 least Asuras, I believe you can beat them but not the Upper 2".

"They have unlocked partial affinity with the Universal Treasure".

Legolas smiled. "I guess that's my cue to avoid them".

"One final question, my contracted beasts, did their soul also come here?"

"Yes, since you all died at the same time that the Underworld's long-range collector was activated, you all were transported here at the same time"

Legolas' smile widened. "That's all, thanks for your cooperation".

Sitting cross-legged in this hot environment, Legolas closed his eyes as he entered deep thinking mode.

Remembering all the clues that he got during his journey here, all the information that he just got from the Demon Asura, and piecing them together with his own deductions, he started making a plan.

It was an extremely complicated plan but he put in the brain power to make it work out. After what felt like a few hours, he finally opened his eyes.

Then, he asked his last question.

"Demon, is there any power or existence here that can enable me to rewind time and travel back in time?"

"…!" The Demon Asura's eyes widened in shock.

"H-How did you know?!"

"Answer me!" Legolas' tone turned cold.

"The Demon Master's Universal Treasure, the Time Ring".

"…"

"…"

"….."

Legolas' eyes widened in shock. 'He has a Universal Treasure?!!!"
