《Dungeon Runner》Chapter 9:

Hey guys, important notice, for all of you who wanted classes, sorry but there will not be classes.
Chapter 9:
Leon woke up a few minutes later, the moment he woke up, he noticed me. He tried to get up and attack me, but he notices he can't move because of the rope. He also noticed his weapon is gone, I took it. The weapon is dangerous as it completely eroded my sword. Although I can still use my sword, it is trash now with random holes on its side.
Leon glares daggers at me and asks "What are you going to do to me?"
Instead of answering his question, I ask him a question in return.
"Why did you attack that group from before?"
He looks away and replies "Why should I tell you?"
I look at him and point my sword at him; for some strange reason, I can't use Leon's sword, it hurts me whenever I swing it.
"If you value your life, answer my question!"
Although I'm threatening Leon to death, I, myself, don't know if I can kill him. I never killed someone before, even though I killed monsters, they are different to something I consider a "person". I don't know if I can kill a random person I don't even now, much less Leon, whom I interacted with for more than a week.
His head turns to face me, and one of his eyebrows raises. He hesitates a little, then says "Fine, I'll tell you."
"As you know, I have the Royal Satan blood in me. Well, not only did I have the blood, I was also the heir to the Demon Lord. My father was the Demon Lord, while my mother was the matriarch of the Scorpion King clan. While I was supposed to be the Demon Lord, my younger brother was supposed to be the heir to the Scorpion King Clan."
Him being the heir to the Demon Lord surprised me. The Demon Lord was supposedly living on the 109th floor of the dungeon.

" I was born on the 10th floor of the dungeon as my parents were on a vacation. Because of that, I didn't have that much of an advantage over those living on the 0th floor. As you now, the higher floor your born on, the stronger your body will be from the denser mana on the floor."
I nodded to affirm that.
" I lived with my parents for about 4 years, before my life turned to the worse. A secret association called the NS, Neo-Salvation, attacked my family. The organization is made out of pure blooded humans, who think that humans are a superior race to all others. They think humans should rule the dungeon, and that any half-blooded humans, or non -humans should be slaves to humans."
Hearing this angered me, but also let me get a understanding of where this is going.
"My family got annihilated by the organization. It seems that the organization was an ancient one, from way before the race equality pact. Although my father and mother are powerful, they only managed to take down some of the higher echelons of the organization with them. Both the Royal Satan clan, and the Scorpion King clan got annihilated. Only me, some of my servants and my uncle survived. My brother and parents got killed by the organization, and that's when swore that I will eradicate the NS organization and drag their dirty corpses to my families grave. Their deaths will not be nice, they will pay."
Already guessed the answer at this point, I was wondering why no news on this has been released.
"My uncle sent me to the 0th floor and went up to the 109th floor by himself. Both him my father were identical twins, so he took over as the Demon Lord, temporarily until I get stronger. He is only acting as Demon Lord to keep the Demon race under control. He also strictly forbade any of the higher echelons of the Demon Race from revealing the deaths of the Scorpion King clan and the Royal Satan Bloodline. My uncle didn't reveal anything about me, not even to his most trusted friends to keep me safe. I lived in the 0th floor and trained, sometimes entering stronger floors to train."

When I heard he went to higher floors to train, I scream in surprise, " Wait what. You went to higher floors? I though you can enter only at the age 16.?"
He looks at me like I'm an idiot and says "That's only the formality everyone goes through. It is not required to enter the dungeon only at 16, people are only let in then because that's when people think you are ready to enter the dungeon. In reality, you can enter whenever you want."
I look at him in shock, not knowing what to say. Leon just glances at me for a while before continuing.
"Since I was born on the 10th floor, I can skip the 1st floor test, but I only took it because I don't want to be noticed by NS. Since I lived in the 0th floor for most of my life, I wanted the NS to think I was born there. My servants raised me there for most of my life."
I then ask him another question, " What level are you?"
He just replies " Level 8. I would have been at a higher level, but I couldn't stay in higher levels for long, just so that I don't get noticed."
I then ask him a series of questions "Why did you attack the group from before and why did you tell me your race when we met before.?"
He says "I attacked the group because they were part of the NS. Didn't you notice they all were pure blooded humans? I told you my race since no one knows about the death of the Royal Satan race, and if you knew your races and I lied, you would have gotten suspicious about me."
I walk around a bite while biting my lower lip, thinking about what he said. I usually bite my lower lip when I'm thinking. I can't totally believe what he just said, he might lying, but I have no way to prove it. For all I can know, he might be the one that is part of an organization that extreminates pure blooded humans. That's when an idea popped into my head. I'll act like he i'm helping him to find out if he's lying or not. I'll investigate what he's doing, and try to get a chance to absorb the souls of humans he tried to kill. I know it's cruel, but Leon will eventually kill them, might as well get some info from them.
I untie his ropes and let him go. "You are free to go, but let me ask you something. Can I help you with your revenge?"
He looks at me with suspicious eyes, and questions " Why?"
I just say "I want to help because you said the NS will target any non humans. My family is non-human, including me. Which means that my family will eventually get targeted, and I can't let that happen."
He stares at me for a while before saying " Ok," and walking off, still not convinced with my reason.
I look at him as he walks away with a lonely back, before walking home. I sigh in relief that my lie worked.
To be continued.
