Modern World Warlock-Chapter 150: Dante’s Somber Summary

After everyone gathered in the large meeting room to listen to Dante, the warlock took a quick glance at the room to look at everyone's faces.

Megan, Sophia, Camille, Zac, Victoria, Clara, the three teenagers, Paige, Maya, the two Tylers, Alice, June, Asher, Amara, Cerberus, Krom, Lilith, Saris, and the five succubi.

All of them were present, and while most of the demons in the room knew everything about Dante, his words were directed to everyone.

In the world of Terra, there used to be two gods—Arkanos, the God of Creation, and Discordia, the Goddess of Chaos.

When Arkanos and Discordia created the world of Terra, they also had four godchildren, who became what they knew as the Pantheon of Four.

Valorn, the God of Courage. Mystara, the Goddess of Magic. Aelara, The Goddess of Light, and Zaratross, the God of Darkness.

Eventually, an event known as the Godwar began, and the Pantheon of Four rebelled against their parents, sealing them forever.

"All of this happened thousands of years before I was born, so all I know is what was passed throughout history…" Dante explained.

Different churches and religions started sprouting around the world, some of them praising the entire pantheon while others devoted themselves to a single god of the four.

After Dante was born to a couple of warlocks in Shadowvale, he was almost instantly given away to an orphanage, so he didn't remember anything about his parents.

The children and their caretakers were starving most of the time, but Dante managed to survive until he was six years old, when a man named Xander visited the orphanage.

Xander conducted warlock affinity tests on all of the kids, and when he noticed that Dante had the talent to become a Specialist Warlock, he took him in and paid the fee to the orphanage to adopt Dante.

Still, even though he was adopted, Dante never felt like Xander was a father figure to him.

They lived in a small home in a dark forest in Shadowvale, and Xander would leave for days—sometimes weeks to go adventuring, leaving the young warlock to fend for himself. However, Xander always came back.

Dante's teacher wanted him to get out of Shadowvale and become an adventurer like him, so he spent a lot of time practicing how to suppress his umbra in order to be able to enter cities with ordinary people.

One time, after Xander left for one of his adventures, Dante waited for two whole years for his teacher to return—but he never did.

At seventeen years old, Dante had already mastered his umbra suppression and left Shadowvale to fulfill his teacher's wish of having him become an adventurer.

"Honestly, I don't know why I left Shadowvale at that time… I was angry at my teacher for abandoning me, but I still felt like not fulfilling his wish would've been a waste of time…" Dante elaborated.

Nevertheless, even after he became an official adventurer, the stigma of being associated with warlocks made it difficult for him to find a party to team up with, so he took on requests by himself for two years.

One day, a beautiful woman with long, light-brown hair and emerald eyes approached Dante. She was wearing a combat priestess robe that made him believe she was after his head, considering that the church was wholly unfavorable to warlocks.

However, the woman wanted to recruit him to her party, and since Dante could see people's clear intentions, he knew that the woman was genuine and accepted her offer.

"Her name was Beatrice…" Dante said, biting his lips with apprehension.

It didn't take long for Dante to become close friends with the rest of the party.

Faelyn, a beautiful elven mage. Sylas, a discrete and powerful assassin. Soren, a burly but friendly warrior, and Beatrice, a kindhearted and fiery combat priestess.

The five of them took on numerous adventuring requests, taking down huge monsters and demons that prowled the land of Terra.

Dante and Beatrice started a romantic relationship after months of traveling together. They even considered retiring and having a family in a quiet area, but they still wanted to keep adventuring for a while.

After the group defeated a powerful monster, a blinding light appeared in the sky, where the figure of a giant woman came down to greet them.

Her name was Goddess Aelara, and she believed that Dante and his party would be invaluable to Terra's safety, giving them a blessing to become ageless.

Dante was twenty-five years old, and after receiving the blessing, he didn't age a single day older. However, they were bound to keep protecting Terra for as long as there were enemies who threatened it.

Years later, Satan, the King of Wrath, targeted Beatrice, as the demon was interested in her powers and managed to drag her to hell beside him.

Filled with rage and hatred, Dante returned to Shadowvale and opened a portal to hell that he personally used to look for Beatrice—a mission that took him years to complete.

While traveling through the hellish landscape and killing thousands of demons, he got to meet Krom, who ended up supporting him in his mission out of fear.

Out of the millions of demons who faced Dante in hell, only a very selected few managed to either escape from his grasp or simply switch sides to support him, knowing that the warlock was too powerful.

In that same quest to look for his beloved, he met Lilith and Saris, who also supported him in reaching Ragerift, where Satan was holding Beatrice.

However, after years of fighting and finally reaching Satan's dark castle, all he found was Beatrice's lifeless body while Satan mocked him for taking too long.

The King of Wrath had absorbed Beatrice's life energy and was now able to use some of her powers. Still, the absolute crazed fury and rage that Dante felt made him go on a rampage that shook the very depths of hell.

By the time the fight was over, Satan's soul had been destroyed and absorbed by Dante, but the warlock wasn't done with his mission.
