Chapter 29: Ancient Knowledge
- What did you do Elf?!! - The Middle head yelled.
"I can kill you easily, and have my friend absorb your core, But I need soldiers; so join me, and you'll have your fire and all the food you'll ever need."
The three heads looked at him for a moment, then landed on the ground.
- How will you get us food? - The middle head asked in suspicion.
"Simple, Some Monsters will surely go against me this Noon... I know you get the rest."
After some moment of discussing, the heads looked at Aaron.
- OK, we'll join you. But what if we betray you in the end? - The left asked.
"Trust me, You won't dare have that thought, because the moment you do. You'll be Six feet beneath the ground." Aaron's eyes glowed red for a second, then returned to normal.
- Also a Demon, How surprising.- The middle head nodded.
Aaron drew an Alliance Circle and threw it at the Dragon. They placed their claws on it, and it Vanished the next moment.
"If you are starving, Meet me at the center of the forest, at Noon." With that said, he threw the three stones back to them, which they all swallowed.
The space distorted behind Aaron and his group, and a gateway appeared, they all walked in, and it closed.
- What a Kid, your hunger almost made us lose our lives! - The right head yelled at the left.
- That kid has the powers of countless powerful figures... Or maybe, a god reincarnated into this body with his full powers.- the middle head guessed.
- Forget all that, all I know is, we get to eat at Noon. Only two hours left.- the left said happily.
- Where do you think he's going next? - The right head asked.
- To the Sea, I guessed.- The middle said.
- Sea? That is far from the forest.- The left reminded.
- I know, but you can only get there through this forest. Think about this, if he can make that bastard submit to him, he'll be invincible.- The right said.

Aaron and Protean walked out of the gateway, which Appeared above the blue sea, they looked around; seeing only an endless expense of water.
"I hope those two focus on the mission, then chasing one another."
"They won't." Aaron said flatly, he looked down at the sea.
"This bastard don't want to reveal himself." He raised his hand into the air.
BOOM!!
Red Lightening fell from the clear blue sky striking the surrounding water, causing huge waves all over the place.
- Who Dare disturb my Slumber?!! -
An angry deep voice sounded from beneath the sea. Aaron and Protean watched as the Water ripple, and a huge head revealed itself.
The two huge eyes which were bigger then Aaron looked around the place, seeing Aaron and Protean above. The eyes glowed blue in anger.
- You puny beings dare disturb my sleep…-
"Shut Up and show yourself, we have business to discuss."
- "...." -
The creature was stunned for a moment, then yelled.
- What audacity!! Do you know I'm the king of the sea?!! -
"I said "Shut... Up"! And come out!!" Aaron yelled in irritation. "If you don't come out, I don't care killing every living thing in this sea." He threatened.
The head dive inside the water again, the next moment a huge tentacle shot towards Aaron, only to be cut off by Protean.
"You dare attack!!" Aaron was enraged. "Then it's on you!!" The sky instantly turned red, as countless red swords formed, pointing their blades downward.
- Calm down, Calm down, Calm down.-
A man with red long hair, and a tail. Holding a Trident rose from the water.
"You angered me, and you'll pay for that."
"Sorry, I thought my enemies sent you. I'm king, Mali. The king of the sea folks. But..." Mali observed Aaron.
"These sea is between the first and second Continents, and no one knew we existed. Then how did you know about us?"
Aaron sighed, all the sword above them vanished, and the sky returned to normal.
'This is "sword king", a forbidden spell, only one person has it, and that's the forefather of the demon race.' Mali thought inwardly.
"I'm building a kingdom, and I need allies."
"Allies?" Mali was stunned. "You killed countless fishes with that first attack, what make you think I'll accept?"
"That is a little, if you refuse I'll just kill more, including you. Maybe asked the merfolks, or even the sirens. They'll be happy to be under me and have control of your territory."
"How the hell did you know about all the ancient races!! And you sound like you know how to get in touch with them all!"
"Of course, when the gate of abyssal opened, its released all of them into this world... Think how powerful I'll get if they're all below me." Aaron grinned.
"You are still young, but you already have the dream of controlling this world, Don't you think the races will refuse."
"Hahaha, I'm Hoping they do... I thought the only way to be safe is to be the strongest, but I'm already the strongest... Then I got a piece of ancient knowledge. This knowledge is the main reason I'm looking for powerful allies. Now... Will you join my kingdom?"
"Ok, young man. Do I have the honor to know your name?"
"Emperor Aaron." Aaron drew the Alliance circle.
Mali placed his hand on it, and nodded.
"Good, we'll be going to the Sirens now..." With that said, both he and Protean vanished.
"Who really is this kid? Such powers..." Mali thought, then looked around the dead fishes above the water, and sighed deeply.

On a beautiful island, distance from the three Continents, a group of breathtakingly beautiful ladies sat on the shore, singing a beautiful but yet sad melody, which was carried by the winds traveling hundred of miles away.
"What a beautiful song."
The five ladies turned to their right in shock, seeing a young man and a dark elf, staring at them with smile.
"A kid?" The Sirens were surely taken aback.
"Why do everyone keep calling me a kid?" Aaron grumbled.
The five looked at each other in shock, then chuckled lightly, without hesitation; they started singing again, hoping to entice Aaron and Protean.
But after singing for a while, and seeing the two still smirking at them, One asked with a frown.
"Why can't we control your minds?"
The two smirks widened.
"Because we aren't Men, and you guys are still weak." They said in unison, stunning the Sirens in place.
