"The information won't be cheap." Silent reaper said.
"What kind of information do you have?"
"Information from the moment he visited our branch few years ago till the moment he took his last breath." Silent reaper said smirking.
I retrieved two, rank 10 beast cores from my shadow and placed them on the table without caring about the cost of information which should not exceed this price.
"One rank 12 core." Silent reaper said without eying the rank 10 beast cores.
"Are you out of your mind?" I said because even if he gives me information of the person who killed earl jabel I wouldn't trade it for rank 12 beast core, he was clearly venting his frustration for my earlier behavior.
"Earl jabel had some interesting items with him, items worth sacrificing his life for."
At first I thought he was not bluffing but this bastard definitely had some crucial information, gritting my teeth in frustration I retrieved a dazzling red rank 12 beast core which was covered with shadow energy and placed that on table in front of silent reaper because identity of killer of earl jabel was not important but what was important was the information as to who owned the meeker technique.
"I want every detail, why did he visit your branch few years ago and the items you have mentioned." I said while the puppet in front of me examined the precious rank 12 beast core.
"Demon jabel with demon makia approached our branch few years ago in order to register his son as member of genesis but he was rejected due to not meeting our standards.
After they left our branch we tracked their moments and came to know they had entered the nearby dimension pocket, but after that we didn't bother ourselves much with their affairs until few days ago one of our member came across a fight near the dimension pocket which is in south from here and happened to record some interesting footage." Silent reaper said and retrieved a recording crystal from his storage bag.
He turned on the footage which was not more than 10 second long but it was enough to flip my mood and I released my momentum subconsciously as the two demon guards standing behind in the shadow fainted.
The video footage started with showing the demon jabel's fiendish look completely surrounded by dark aura staring at the figure floating in the sky which was of an angel.
The angel's figure was 2 meter tall and had two golden hollows above his head flying in the air with the support of his 4 white wings.
He held a sacred sword in his hands which spewed white fire and consumed the black aura attack emitted by jabel.
The footage soon shifted toward demon makia, who was keeping masked humans who were supporting the hero at bay and at the background of the footage a tremendous explosion resounded which was definitely the outcome of head on clash between earl jabel and hero.
"How can this be, the last time we received the information both the heroes only had 2 wings but in this video, the hero has 4 wings, does that mean they recently had their first awakening?" I contemplated because the last sighting of hero was not more than 8 months ago when they had only one pair of wings.
If a person has merged with normal beast core they can only transform into the said beasts physique but cores above mythical rank were different.
The cores surpassing rank 12 had a special ability which allowed its host to have continuous awakening even after finishing their transformation physique.
In the current scenario the hero has merged with angel's core and had his first awakening which gave him additional hollow above his head and another pair of wings.
With his first awakening his strength would also have increased many folds because he was able to kill an aura master.
The same was true about my draconic physique because I have merged with the same shadow dragon core with which my father has merged, I had also gone through my second awakening and each awakening boosted once strength tremendously and at the same time unlocked many powerful abilities.
"What are the chances that this footage is fake?" The footage was too detailed to be fake that fact I confirmed with my ability and not many people knew about demon jabel and makia's exact appearance.
"The person who has given us the information has proved the validity of information by going through the trial of truth orb." Silent reaper said which doused all questions in my mind.
Those heroes must be trying to keep their strength secret and ambush us but with this information we will be prepared, now that there strength is risen it's about time earl and marquees ranked demons step forward and take this matters into their own hands.
The arrival of an hero was an common occurrence for us, once in every decade the celestial beings would send some fool to conquer this planet but they only served as entertainment for us, it has been that way since my father ascended to the position of demon king but things were different this time because of one person, 'merlin'.
Father has warned me and my brother about how dangerous the existence of third hero has become because of merlin and the fact that this information should be kept secret.
"Tell me about the item you mentioned earl jabel possessed."
"The person who recorded this video heard heroes say, 'hand over the two red gemstones you possess and I might spare your life', which obviously earl jabel didn't complied and died protecting." Silent reaper said, I didn't hear any voice in the video footage thus I have to believe his words but his words, they were true.
'If those bastards had found meeker technique, why didn't they send it to me through spacial bag?' Those bastards, I want to revive and kill them again.
"I assume you have verified this fact by using truth orb as well." I asked to confirm.
"Yes I have." Silent reaper replied.
How did resistance forces came to know about meeker's legacy, it can only mean one thing, there is a traitor among my faction and I have to find him as soon as possible.
It would be difficult to retrieve the gemstones from resistance forces without the help of a duke and I myself can't go there because I have more important matters to attend to.
By now those gemstones must have reached in the hands of their leader but even then it would take them few years or eternity before they can decode its ability.
Retrieving one more rank 12 beast core from my space rune I placed it on the table which confused silent reaper.
"I want you to wipe out this information from your database." I said.
"1 Year, that is how long I can hide this information." Silent reaper said.
1 year was enough time for me to deal with the traitor and collect information regarding the gemstones.
"Agreed" I said.
"Do you need anything else?" The puppeteer asked.
"I want the information about the human who came here before me." I asked full knowing what answer he will give.
