Ruin, you may think that I am referring to the decay of all that exists under the feet of the nameless and chimeras, but no, ruin is the name that the true demons gave to the end of ancient times, mainly Lucifer of Pride who exclaimed without concern and with total confidence:
-I am the ruin of the unstable past times.
Later the true demons, created the first law of pandemonium:
"We are the ruin of ancient times."
Yes, my master was a true demon, a being with a power unimaginable to the naked eye.
At that time, when ancient times still prevailed, there arose among the demonic race, demons motivated by different desires, for whom ancient times were a hindrance, yes, imagine a terrifying calamity and a being capable of saying:
-Remove this filth from here, or I will remove it.
They did not do it for altruistic motivations, only for their personal whims, but that was enough for the lesser demons.
You may wonder how they did it, I practically don't know that part but it is easy to deduce it through a few testimonies, the true demons were so strong that they took as their own most of the territory of the chimeras; yes, the territory of the chimeras, until then, there were only two territories, the territory of the nameless ones and the territory of the chimeras. But with the arrival of the true demons, small territories populated by lesser beings emerged, territories that together were called pandemonium.
You may wonder what happened to the unnamable ones, their territory remained stable for a long time since they did not care about what happened in the territory of the chimeras.
In my case, at the age of five I was already able to use demonic energy with ease, I lived in a palace of marble, gold, jewels and crystals, there was also art, yes, art, the lesser beings started with paintings, stories, sculptures and more, and in my master's sumptuous palace there was nothing lacking, even the maids were beautiful, they were mostly lesser beings or medium beings, in my case, I would catalog the maximum power I reached as that of a medium demon of the midpoint, no one knows, it is unlikely, but perhaps at the end of my book I have advanced, at the end of all I am Lucifer's disciple of Pride.
My master's palace was fantastic, when I walked through the corridors by his side, he would say to me with confidence and without shame:
-I am the greatest, most powerful and handsome of all beings, isn't it obvious that I must have the best palace of all.
At that time I remember clapping my hands and shouting:
-Yes, the master is the best.
He laughed with confidence and then told me firmly:
-You must prepare yourself well, you are and will be my only disciple, someone great and important cannot have two disciples; if you fail, I fail, you must surpass me, only then will I prove that I am the best.
-Master, you won't stop being the best if I surpass you? -I asked him.
He answered me with certainty:
-No, because you will be the continuation of my will. That is why you must surpass me.
At that time I did not understand his words well, but when I reached the age of 10, I had been instructed with such constancy that there was not a single lesser demon that could stand up to me, and that made me want to leave the palace grounds and explore. The surroundings of the palace were beautiful gardens, with the most beautiful flowers and where you could also find fragrant fruit trees, however, beyond the palace territory was a reddish sky and arid land, with only one or two blades of grass in a decadent state, almost instinctively I felt the danger that lay beyond the palace territory, and I tried to return until I heard a voice that did not hide its malicious and mocking tone:
-I felt a familiar smell, I never believed that woman's child would come out of the womb and live, but look at you, you are bursting with energy, you are a delicacy.
The being that approached was a chimera with a humanoid face whose skin was very white, it had three eyes, two completely yellow eyes with a red pupil and a large and third eye in the forehead of green color, that third eye seemed unnatural for that face, but there was not much to say when you saw the long and thick snake body, body from which emerged arms of different shapes and species of beings. Just the presence of that being was intimidating, I used half of my energy to run, but the being waved one of his arms and a cut of a dark energy was about to reach me, but I used the rest of my energy to create a barrier that despite having broken with the attack of the chimera allowed me to get out alive after rolling several times on the ground. Listen to the being laugh as it approached and said:
-I will devour you just like I devoured your mother.
There was very little I could say, but soon after, I heard footsteps approaching very calmly, as I looked I saw my master, always dressed in his sumptuous white and gold robes, always wearing jewels without holding back, he bent down and gave me a demonic pill, then he said to me in a calm voice:
-Stand up, my disciple cannot show an unworthy image.
I stood up and swallowed the pill, soon after, I felt the energy coursing through my body, but that was not what caught my attention, because I was attentive to my master who walked with a firm look towards the chimera and said with a firm look and arrogant voice:
-You have stepped on the territory of Lucifer the greatest of all beings.
Are you serious? You must give your speeches in this situation? These were questions that were going through my mind at that time because I was worried about the powerful being in front of me.
-An inferior being must know how to take his place. -My master continued.
-Who is an inferior being? -The chimera questioned him angrily.
My master waved his hand and a ray of light appeared out of nowhere and three arms flew through the air.
-Shut up and listen, when I speak to you, it is an honor for you to hear my words.
For the first time I understood my master's personality, with the power he had attained, it was impossible for him not to be arrogant; now I don't even think he was arrogant, as he had the power to second his words.
The chimera was horrified with every step my master took.
-You hit my disciple. Now you want to escape?
The chimera slammed its face against the ground, and begged for mercy, but my master waved his hand once more and after another flash not even ashes of the chimera remained.
-Disciple, apparently you must train and read more, I left some books in your room, you have three years to master them, or I will lock you in the cave in the mountain to improve your control of demonic energy.
Now you can get an idea of the power of a real demon.
"What is this? If he calls us lesser demons, and there is no mistake in his classification, at only ten years old how much power did he have when he reached the peak of the power of those so-called lesser demons, how powerful was Lucifer of Pride? Besides, he mentions lesser beings, he means that there were more beings besides demons at that time," Mart thought while drinking the tenth demonic potion that Selis had given him.
