"What did you say?" Rex asked surprised.
The Shadow Person smiled as Rex was utterly surprised and shocked to hear.
"A long time ago, in a Realm where True Gods reign. I met someone who forcibly sent me to them. A beautiful lady sat beside a man and the words, 'A man is coming to destroy your Race. However, he will have two lifetimes to do it. So you will not know what hit the first time but during the second. You will feel yourself forced into a hole and closed up.' From that point on, I have been sealed here.
During my time sealed here, I have met the man numerous times. He told me that you had gotten a rare Spider Queen and that you would eventually take her home to kill her loose husband. How you managed to help the weak and poor. How you obtained your first Soul Mate and then re-entered the world called Erth. Even with all of those achievements early on in your life, I still could not fathom how you would destroy my race with the Dark Abyss still claiming to eat us with the fairies help. That is when he told me that you had defeated the strongest variant of the Dark Abyss. My hopes still not has grand as what people hoped for. When I heard that less and less of my people became eaten due to that reason. I found myself hoping that the prophecy would come true.
There are twenty people including myself who need to stay sealed here. If you can bring them all within the time frame. I can forcibly consider your Quest complete. If you decide to take it, I will help you blend into Shadow People from my world.
Remember, you cannot leave that world under normal circumstances. You are a spy and a way to get those who belong to me out and remain loyal to me."
Rex could not fathom who would actually try to do such things. Hearing about it now, he wondered why he was so strong in the first place.
"Let me ask you a couple of questions before I give an ultimate answer to yours." Rex told him.
"As long as it does not involve destiny or why you did what you did. I can almost answer it, hopefully."
Rex was stunned because of this. He needed to know why in the first run he was not able to cultivate properly.
"If you cannot answer this question it is fine. Do you know why I was not able to cultivate normal Qi in my first run?" Rex asked.
"I do. I also can give a long answer but the short answer is me. It was to prepare you to meet me here. Although, many people could have fought and won. The answer to that battle was simply a lost cause. Too much death in this Realm would hurt the Heavenly and Godly Realms that are connected. The Demon Realm would have completely perished. I could explain more but that is what would have happened."
Rex felt that this was the truth. Even with him trying to break the Shadow People into parts. The Realms here still would have fallen due to no Demon King of Annihilation being here and the Demon King of Will being sealed.
"My second question relates to why you want the twenty people here. Who are they all and why should I rescue them?"
The Shadow Person felt a tinge of hope. He knew that the truthfulness of this would bring hope but despair.
"Ten are my loyal knights that helped keep peace between worlds. Their swords and axes far stronger than anything in the universe due to the people who took me up. They were to keep the peace and await for you. With me, that bring the total to eleven.
I have three wives. Each wife has two daughters. I know they have may deflected. I hope and pray that they have not."
Rex felt that this was truly worthy of him trying.
"I will try. I will not give you the best answers currently. I will at least try to get you your women." Rex told him.
A black substance fell from the Shadow Person. It was corrosive but the ground immediately healed back up due to the seal.
"Alright. Let me ask and see how long you would have."
Rex awaited while the Shadow Person put his hand on the seal. Within moments, the Shadow Person removed his hand.
"Currently on the planet you would five minutes. That equals three hours here. If we wait two hours here, you would have one day there and a day and half here."
Rex decided to wait and talk with the Shadow Person here to figure more about what he would need to know.
"Okay. Where are all of the people being held captive?" Rex asked.
"Either inside the Palace of Shadows or in the Royal Prison of Shadows. Either way, not a good choice but at least the prison you can get help."
Rex swallowed hard because he knew that this would become a disaster now.
"If you want, I can ask the people to give you the exact directions on your Quest to find them. First, my Wives and Daughters, then the Royal Knights. Or if it is easier to do it in reverse order. We do it like that."
Rex felt that this was too much to bargain for. He decided to accept the Quest and now here he is fighting the consequences.
"I want the easier ones first. Which ever ones could be gotten out easier. Plus I want something that will allow them and myself to instantly teleport start here." Rex told him.
"Already underway."
Rex felt a clump in his throat. Something told him that he would not be able to finish the Quest so easily.
True to his clump, Rex would have a hard time doing the Quest.
