195. An Unfinished Journey (1)

Demon Realm, Blood Vessel Forest Area 1.

A large forest with mysterious magic that catches the eyes of demons passing by with coral-colored trees scattered all over the moonlit sky.

There was a large bar built for demons in a place where there were relatively few monsters inhabiting the area and it was located in a corner, so the atmosphere was quite quiet.

The alcohol that the inhabitants of the Demon Realm drink is ‘amidrev’.

It is a strong drink made by mixing the happiness and despair that succubus has extracted from human dreams, and the vitality that has been removed from the soul. Even demons with strong mental powers get drunk in just one or two drinks, so they don’t usually find it very often, but when there is a particularly sad or happy event, the warehouse is sold out.

And today was a happy day.

“Come on, come on. Have a drink, bro. Keep drinking!”

“… … Can I drink it?”

“It’s not good enough to drink. Only one in the wide demon world! Amidrev is a precious drink that is not sold outside of this bar.”

“… … There are also snowballs floating around here.”

“Is that all good? You’re just a friend with a lot of doubts!”

ha ha ha ha!

A welcome ceremony was held in a noisy bar.

The demons with horns and black wings quivered were just like the demons that humans imagined. They were preparing to roll around an innocent demon who had recently entered the demon realm with a snarky expression on their face.

It’s not a demon born from an egg, but a demon born from a dead body with a strong resentment against himself!

That is why it is a special existence in which the instinct as a demon and the conscience as a human remain in one body.

His human name was Hion Weil, but his new name,  , was given down by the Demon King. One day, he suddenly became a new and immature demon and was summoned to the welcome ceremony from the sophisticated Royal Family Guard, and he was none other than a knight of the Demon King.

“Close your eyes and take a drink!”

“okay! If you become a demon, you have to be able to drink demon wine to be a real demon!”

“Amidrev is said to be the devil’s drink itself, which no one has ever tasted, but no one has ever tasted. One drink and you’ll understand what I mean, mate.”

The demons who held the glass in Hwion’s hand began to coax him like a child.

The demons were very interested in the unusual existence they saw for the first time in the history of the demon realm. Although he followed the Demon King, Hwion, who had only recently realized his true nature and was confused, was still awkward in the Demon World.

It was hard to believe that it was the same race as a demon with horns and wings. Until I heard that the welcome ceremony was being held, of course, I had no intention of coming to this place, but the Demon King pushed his back.

‘Go. It will be a good experience.’

Her mouth and mouth were terrified, but because it was the owner’s name, it was nothing.

‘Sigh. What the hell is he thinking?’

For Hion, the demon realm was still a different world.

When he suddenly found out the truth that he was originally a demon, nothing actually changed. He didn’t even know how to get his wings out. Her hair was still blonde, and her hallucinations for blood did not go away.

Outwardly, Huion Whale was still human.

‘It doesn’t matter what. All I have to do here is obey orders.’

There was no order to drink, but I thought that attending this event was the same thing in the end.

Hwi-on, who had been sitting at the table for the whole time while attending the drinking party, finally received the cup.

“Five. Gero-kun has finally made up his mind?”

It wasn’t that he was hesitating because of fear, but the other demons who were still looking at Hwion, who was still full of human qualities, giggling.

Hwion, who had no intention of correcting their misunderstanding, briefly nodded.

“then.”

Hwi-on swallowed the drink in the glass at once. The demon Lord Amidrev, who boasts the hottest alcohol among the spirits of the demon world, gulped down his throat.

“What do you think? Is it jun?”

“Yes? why no response I was curious about the feelings of our newcomer who had been living as a human not so long ago!”

Amidrev’s sake cup was made by heaving a crude ash tree, and its size was larger and heavier than the beer mugs used by ordinary people.

Hwi-on, who emptied the whole thing, just stood there with an empty glass. As soon as no interesting reaction came out even after waiting, the demons, whose expectations were disturbed, started chatting with each other.

“Aren’t you curious anyway? In fact, we were all human back in the day.”

“not really! What does it matter if I was an ant or a flower tree in a previous life?”

“Ugh. I’m a bit curious though. Even if I said it was a long time ago, I can’t even remember.”

The demons chatted with excitement and drank continuously.

After the Second Cheonma War was over, the truth about the world was revealed in the process of renewing a peace agreement between the two races.

Almost everything except for records of the first king Lu and his twin brother Daniel.

The three truths, which were revealed late after many years, turned the heavens and the demonic realms upside down when they were revealed. The Elyos and Asmodians look like completely different races, but they both had strong self-esteem. It was by no means easy for them to admit that they were human by nature and even killed and killed each other.

But in the end, I had to believe it. It is because the one who revealed the truth was the king of each world.

In particular, the demons, who flocked to their knees like gentle sheep before the demon king, accepted the new truth without saying a word. For demons, more important than pride is the demon king’s orders.

Rather, confusion arose among the Elyos who valued order and law, but that too did not last long. For the Elyos to insist on the supreme order to the end, the heavens were already too dirty. Starting with the former Heavenly King Michaelos, the traitorous Lucifer, and countless Elyos who only watched with their hands while the next Heavenly King was expelled and abandoned. The sins they committed under the excuse of being pure were scattered everywhere.

Thus, the truth was quickly absorbed into each world without causing a wave as much as the weight that had been hidden.

“Hey, now the Elyos are just like before… … .”

profit

In the heated atmosphere, the demons, who had been talking loudly, all closed their mouths at once. Amidst the unfathomable silence, savage gazes were focused on those who opened the new door and entered the pub.

The pure white feather wings that emit light by themselves, the long dress that gives the overall feeling of sky and light, and the elegant gait that does not make a single footstep sound.

Those who entered the bar were none other than a group of Elyos.

Elyos appeared in a bar in the middle of the Demon Realm. It had never happened before, but no one was surprised.

In addition to the recent peace agreement, the heavens and the demon realms were opened under the agreement of the kings. It is now possible for the Elyos to freely enter and exit the Demon Realm, and the Demons to the Heavenly World if they wish.

A high-ranking demon who sat next to Hwion and had a taste for tormenting him broke the silence by sipping alcohol.

“You are late.”

“I apologize for not keeping my appointment. An unexpected accident happened in heaven.”

The Elyos who visited the bar politely bowed their heads to express their apologies. However, the demons were consistent with snoring.

“huh. accident? Where will the noble law that hanged you even if you die soon?”

“It was an accident that took precedence over the law.”

“What kind of accident happened to make it so late?”

“It’s a heavenly thing, so your demons won’t know.”

The demons were also moved by the way he spoke clearly.

“Huh! These damn pigeons. Do you understand the promise we made with dog shit?”

The bar, which had been filled with loud laughter, froze in an instant. A harsh air flowed between the two races with different wings.

The Elyos answered with a firm expression on their faces.

“Have you already apologized for that?”

“Are you going to apologize? Would you like to see us if we kill a dove and apologize?”

tongue

Some of the demons threw an empty drinking glass on the floor. It was in the middle of a welcome ceremony for a while, so they were already drunk in the order of their weakest mental strength.

The demons growled wildly like angry beasts.

“Ah! Indeed. You guys came from a noble family who killed us in a previous life and never said a word of apology.”

When a provocation similar to a taboo came out, the faces of the Elyos changed drastically. Elyos, who were already confused by the fact that they had been murderers of their own kind in the past, had pale faces, trembling hands, or, in severe cases, seizures when they talked about their past lives.

“You’re touching your teeth, you’re so lowly.”

As the Elyos burst into groaning, the demons rose to their feet.

“It’s you guys who are mean!”

“If we talk about it, our demons are even more shy, you bastards! Isn’t it so elegant that it doesn’t look like it?”

The way to deal with demons with loud voices was simple. The Elyos turned their heads and ignored the buzzing demons.

“I can’t speak the language, so I can’t really deal with him. return.”

“What are these children? uh! Would you like to stick around here? uh!”

It had been a long time since the cheerful music and laughter had ceased. In the atmosphere of the welcome ceremony that was completely destroyed, the demons and the Elyos rolled up their arms and growled at each other.

As strange magic flowed from the demon side, the Elyos who saw it also gathered divine power. When two different energy met in the air, they reacted and colored the surroundings like static electricity.

And just about to start a collision.

Quang!

The sword fell right in the middle of their confrontation. Surrounded by swords, the blade neatly cut through the floor and caused an explosion.

“Hey.”

Someone took a breath. The blackened floor was even cracked to the ground, revealing a deep swamp. If they hit it properly, the faces of the two groups became pale when they realized that it was an attack that could not even be traced to the bones of both demons and Elyos.

Hwion Whale, who had quietly had a drink a while ago, was drawing his sword with a ferocious force.

“Hey, hey newbie? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Booung

One of the demons who had previously recommended alcohol came and tried to dry it, but to no avail. I could feel the cool breeze blowing through my hair. It was so fast that it was invisible to the eye. The horns of the demons that approached along the trail that pitted and drew the tail were cut off.

“Wow! My horns!”

Unlike the wings that store magic power, the horns grown by demons are for ornamental purposes. In human terms, it was an expression of personality like a beard or hair. One of the horns that grew round and round in the ears like sheep’s horns had been neatly cut off, and the demon opened his eyes of injustice towards Hwion.

“You idiot! We are on the same side!”

“… Same side?”

However, the opponent was not just a stupid newcomer as they thought.

“The war to divide is already over.”

Elyos and Asmodians are no longer enemies. Because it was an irrefutable fact, no one could speak any more.

“The king did not allow it.”

Only the blonde knight spoke in a businesslike tone.

“Slaughter in this place is unacceptable.”

‘You think you’re trying to kill?!’

For the first time, the Elyos and the Demons, who gathered here and set a date for each other, thought the same thing.
