Chapter 24.5 Mortem

"Mortismas is the name of the great founder of the Mortem family and the strongest person at that time.

The downfall of the Baltuk family and the creation of the great family Mortem were made all by his hands and wits.

Despite black magic being considered cursed by the church and some kingdoms, by tying himself with the government, the opposite faction can’t do anything about it.

With that, the Mortem begins to grow. Seizing lands and materials that are beneficial to black magic, using rituals to do all kinds of odd jobs, and cursing anyone who dares to defile us. As time goes on we have multiple ground-breaking discoveries in the field of black magic and ritual, strengthening us even further

Over the years, we rose through the ranks and became the second-strongest great family, only below the Padock family.

But unlike Padock, we are versatile in many fields, causing us to grow only stronger in financial. At one point, the Mortem family will reach its peak and become the overlord of the world.

Things have already begun to follow our will, for Delich, your father and the current patriarch, is planning to enter the Outside to find an ingredient that will help him reach the Supreme Rank with a crew of elites at his level.

So, what you need to do now is prove your worth to him. Issac, remember, you have to live as healthy as possible so that there is no variable to the family's future.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

The Outside is dangerous and chaotic, so your father can’t guarantee his life, but he must guarantee the family first.

You don’t have to be strong, Issac, you only need to live a healthy life, for good things will come to you eventually.

The moment Delich reaches supreme, you won’t have to bear this burden anymore. You will be free while having a seat above others.

I don’t want to say this, but if his ability reaches supreme, he might live longer than your grandchildren-pff”

A young black-haired woman and a purple-haired child laugh happily inside a small bedroom with candlelight and an old glitching TV.

“So this is Issac’s father.”

“Y...yes, Boss”

Inside an abandoned warehouse, Beelzebub, sitting on Rango, Alissa, Shin, and the black dog at the same time, is looking at his phone.

Inside shows a man who is exactly like Issac, not just exactly; his looks are identical to Issac. If not for the black circle, normal eyes and purple hair. Beelzebub would think that he is looking at his "Photoshop" picture.

Seeing the picture smiling in the camera, he felt a deep sense of fear but also an extreme anger inside his gut.

But that’s not all; he can feel it—the will of a powerful being seeping out of the phone—even a mere image managed to make him feel dread. This is one of the perks of an ascended creature.

So after attaining Supreme, not only did he regain his youth but also had an extreme influence on the world.

'HHHHHHH'

Hearing something scramble inside my head, I mocked the fucker inside my head.

“What? Missing your father”

'…'

Yeah, he is there. For some reason, he keeps on spying on me, that fucking bastard.

“He reached Supreme Rank, and that’s not all; he also brought several corpses with him. Not just any corpse, but those pale abominations. You know how dangerous they are, right?”

'…'

“Do you think you can kill him with that pathe?“

'It doesn’t matter; I will not just kill him, but I will destroy anything related to him and burn this world down.'

“Yeah, yeah, edgy boy. Shut the fuck up.”

'Like you are any better. At least I accept that killing Lucifer is impossible.

"You really need to shut up."
