Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 257 Alphonso De Valerie

Chapter 257 Alphonso De Valerie

In the cave of sealing, Shin was breathing heavily as he pushed back another primordial demon into the seal. He then quickly patched up the hole in the seal. Once he was done patching up the hole Shin couldn't help but frown. Despite his best efforts he had failed in guarding the seal.

'Four primordial demons got past me, Sceadwe, Rabia, Dekia, and Nyarlom. Those four are one of the worst possible primordial demons to escape. If I remember correctly Sceadwe was the one with the most experience in battle, as he has fought Gods before. Rabia was also quite troublesome as the limit of his physical strength even now is unknown. But those two are like kittens compared to Dekia and Nyarlom, especially Nyarlom the primordial demon of trickery.'

'Should I leave the cave and hunt the four of them down? I should do it quickly while the seal is holding up... Tsk, that's too risky, if the seal breaks while I'm away then there will be no one to stop these demons.'

Shin looked at the seal and noticed that its deterioration was hastening, it was only a matter of time before the seal would fully break and literal hell will be let loose.

'I already delayed them for a few centuries now, I hope the races are powerful enough to face them. If not then it would spell the end. If only the dragons would help deal with these things... But of course, the dragons would never lower themselves to do such a thing. Even when I hunted down their young they were too proud to even lift a claw.' It was at that moment when Shin suddenly remembered the vicious smile of his long time rival, enemy, and friend.

'That's right, how could I forget, we still have that guy. I'm sure if it's him he would gladly fight each one of those primordial demons with glee. He might even want to fight the four all at once.' Shin could already imagine Kretos having the time of his life, fighting opponents that seem to be stronger than him.

Shin could already imagine the confusion of the primordial demons as they face that guy who would gladly put himself in a disadvantageous situation just to make the battle more exciting.

When Shin thought of that scene, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face. He then started to chuckle, as he felt like with that guy around everything will turn out alright.

...

In a shop that no one could see but only those that are destined, a cracked appeared in the empty space of the shop. From the crack, a person came out. He was a rather old man with a magnificent beard that stretched out towards his knees. He was wearing a robe and underneath the robe was a set of enchanted armor made of black dragon's scales.

This old man was Alphonso De Valerie the owner of the shop of destiny. He was an avid collector of unique and powerful items. From legendary swords to mystical books of intrigue he collected them all. Each item in his collection came from different dimensions and different universes.

He was known by the other powerful beings such as Gods from other worlds as the hoarder. He was also sometimes the mentor of many a hero. Aside from that, no one knows more about him. They don't even know if he was human or something else entirely. He had many dealings with different Gods and true Gods.

His power was unknown, his origins were unknown, even his name was an uncertainty. Though he has proclaimed to be called Alphonso De Valerie no one could tell if this was true or not.

"Oh, that was a rather dreadful dimension I've gotten myself into. Still, it had quite a great collection of spears." When the old man was about to release his new stock of treasures, he noticed something was different in his shop.

"Another destined one has come to take hold of his destiny. Now let's see what kind of person has entered my shop." Alphonso snapped his finger and a mirror appeared before him. The scene of when Valdel entered the shop appeared in the mirror. When Alphonso saw the boy that entered he paused the scene.

"So this is the boy who entered." Alphonso looked at the boy's eyes and saw that unwavering look in the boy's eyes. "So it's one of those justice people. Nowadays it has been full of those that get transmigrated or reincarnated. It's been a while since I got a pretty normal customer. I wonder what item chose him."

Alphonso made the scene move again and noticed there was another person that entered the shop. 'Hmm, how is this possible only one person is allowed to enter the shop at a time. I'm the only person that could deny this rule, but I wasn't here.'

When Alphonso laid his eyes on the other person who had entered his shop he couldn't help but shiver in excitement. He could quickly see through the outer appearance of the person and was able to see deeper in, and what he saw from that person was a sight he knew all too well.

"So he came, he finally came to my shop. It has been a few millennia but he finally made it and fulfilled his promise. He was able to come to my shop."

Alphonso surveyed the person he once knew and found out that his new name was Ren. As expected almost all the items in the shop responded to him.

'Of course, they would try and reel him in. This was the guy that wielded almost all of the items in my collection. The strongest soul of them all, the first hero, the breaker of destiny, the paragon of willpower, ***********. Oh, I can't even think of his old name. Well, I guess that just proves how frightening he was.'

After watching the whole scene from start to finish until the two left the shop, Alphonso didn't stop smiling.

'So fate has once again linked us together. I wonder what excitement you would bring this time. Should I go meet up with him?... Well, he wouldn't remember me as this is a new incarnation. Still, it's always a good thing to befriend any incarnation of the strongest soul. Though, this guy has never lived for long, despite his power that could very much be described as a cheat he has always met a gruesome end. Still, that's the way he likes it, the battlefield is were he is happiest and to die in battle has always been his greatest joy no matter the incarnation...'

Alphonso remembered the incarnation he befriended. It has been so long but the memory of that time remained, as clear as the sky. It was the most exciting time of his life.

"I guess I'll just take a look at him and see where it goes from there. I could even become his mentor. I wonder what his past self would say if he knew that I would mentor his future reincarnation. That would be a sight to behold." Alphonso happily created a crack in space in front of him and entered it.
