196. An Unfinished Journey (2)

‘The Demon King’s Knight Blake.’

Even the Elyos knew the rumors about him.

Blake was a knight picked up from the human world by the rough and selfish demon king, Embildon, on some whim.

He is a mutant demon who woke up in a human body without going through the normal birth process. Therefore, the old name, Huion Whale, is still in use and still thinks and acts according to human standards.

The Elyos gathered their eyes on him and began to observe carefully.

‘I said this meeting was a place to welcome him.’

Information about Hion was extremely limited not only among the Elyos but also among the Demons. After this war was over, he followed the Demon King to the Demon Realm, but after that he did not show any significant prominence.

‘I think I’ve heard that it’s a kid who can’t even take out his wings yet.

Among the demons, it was speculated that the reason for this was that Hwion Weil still had human habits and was weak.

In general, demons are born with stronger physical abilities than any other race, so they prefer hand-to-hand combat rather than using weapons. Relying on a cutlery is self-defeating. However, Hwion always carried a sword.

That’s why, unlike demon dragons and demon dogs, it was given the title ‘Demon King’s Knight’. Demons who use a sword as their main weapon are rare.

But.

Kwagwang!

In the blink of an eye, a corner of the building was smashed with a sword explosion.

For Hwion, the sword was already like a limb. It was almost as if Hwion depended on the sword and the sword followed him.

The demons, who only looked at him cutely as a newbie, swallowed dry saliva all at once. It was the rank instinct that dominated the mind before the fighting instinct.

In other words, it meant that all the demons gathered here were threatened with their ranks by Hwion.

‘Not a threat!’

Before deciding whether or not he was an opponent who could fight and win, he had no desire to fight that monstrous swordsman. Because you can’t win.

Even when he was originally a human, Whel was strong enough to be counted among the best in the Zereira Kingdom, but after being reborn as a demon by receiving the name from the Demon King, his ability has doubled.

Even the demons who were underestimating him had to admit it. The protagonist of today’s party wasn’t a kid, absolutely.

“Hey, Blake! Damn it. I’ll know! I won’t fight, so stop!”

In the end, the horns were cut off and covered in a lot of dust, but one demon screamed and cried. Hearing that cry, Hwion flinched and stopped attacking.

‘How are you? There was no order not to kill. Kill them all.’

My nature as a demon still whispered in my ear. After all, Blake is the name he has. Even though he knew what the man who had been trying to swallow him up was, Hwion still could not completely control him. Rather, it became more and more difficult as time went on.

He took a small deep breath, forcing his hand, which was shaking with excitement, regardless of his will.

“… What I just said, please keep it.”

Having said that, Hwion took the sword back to the sword house. The dust rising through the crumbling tables and broken glass bottles fluttered between the dazed Elyos and Demons.

“Ha.”

At that moment, someone broke through the heavy silence and burst into laughter.

“Wow, ha ha ha!”

“Kihihi.”

As one started laughing, the other demons looked at each other and laughed like crazy. Then he approached the Elyos who were still standing still with tense faces and pounded their shoulders crudely.

“You say so?”

Even though he was covered in dust with a mess, he couldn’t stop laughing about what was so funny.

The Elyos, who were wary of the wale swept by the wind, were stunned and their eyes widened.

“Have you really lost the will to fight?”

“If it is an order from the king, there is nothing we can do. It’s not because you guys are pretty.”

The quick-witted demons noticed why the Demon King allowed this welcome ceremony and sent Hion. Peace made in meetings and documents is only words.

In the meantime, a long-standing ill-feeling has accumulated between the two races that have killed each other on the battlefield. In order to solve the sediment, it was necessary to open the doors of each world and to break down the walls through frequent exchanges.

Therefore, this place was also the first chapter in which the Elyos and the Asmodians actually reconciled.

“huh. Stop pretending to be polite and drink this.”

The Elyos hesitated, and eventually got caught among the demons and received a cup.

They were two races with very different personalities, so there was a dissonance and growl, but that was all. After all, they have no memory of their past lives. So there was no reason to hate each other.

On the contrary, when I found out that they had the same roots, I realized the identity of the emotions that had been strangely difficult for me, and I was relieved.

In conclusion, the Elyos and Asmodians rapidly became close after the peace treaty was signed. Here, the Demon King and the Heavenly King, who became close like brothers, had a great influence.

After a while, the music that had been cut off began to play again in the chaotic bar. It was still rough and clumsy, but the two races were getting close enough to share a cup together in one space.

It wasn’t a bad start.

Meanwhile, Embildon, who sent Hion Whale to the Cheonma joint welcome ceremony, was having a peaceful day. There were no demons visiting him today, and there were no problems that he had to pay special attention to. It was all because the Demon Dragon Tei had cut them before, but the Demon King didn’t even care as much as his nails for the servant’s hard work.

He climbed to the top of the Demon King’s Castle, the highest roof among them, and was lying on his back, admiring the sky.

‘The heavens of the demon world.’

A dry, cool wind blew past her cheeks like a mother bird flapping her wings. The sky of the demon world, which is half-occupied by the sun and the moon, gave me a sense of stability that I had returned to my hometown.

It was difficult for him to determine whether the sense of stability was about the world he remembered from his past life, Lu, or the attachment he felt to the demon realm as a demon lord.

Lying alone on the roof, he had been silent for a long time, and a clear voice could be heard in his ear.

– Lazier! I’m here!

“… Sedna.”

with daughter.

A pink fox appeared as she lightly stepped on the air and smiled mischievously.

The demon king, who once looked at the blue bell hanging from his neck, slowly raised his upper body and sat down.

“How long are you going to call me ‘Razier’?”

Sedna, who jumped into her arms as if waiting and rubbed her head, blinked her big eyes.

– No?

“Because that wasn’t my name, it was just a borrowed name.”

A cool palm stroked the pink fox’s head.

Being a demon, the body temperature was a bit cold, but it was a gentle touch, so Sedna put her head on her head in a pleasant way and only twitched her ears.

– But to me, Razier is Razier.

It didn’t matter what he looked like or what name he had. Because the ‘Radier’ that Sedna likes was the one in front of her right now.

So from the moment we first met until now, Sedna has called him Lazier.

“do whatever you want.”

The Demon King accepted it with a brief sigh.

Sedna, who was expelled as the king of the heavens succeeded from Michaelos to Nathaniel, was also reinstated to the position of Heavenly King. The Elyos no longer regarded Sedna as a sinner and gave him the right to return to Heaven whenever they wanted to.

Instead, Sedna came down to the Demon Realm with the Demon King as the only Elyos who signed the  , not the Book of the Heavenly King.

It took a while for her, who was originally an Elyos, to adjust to the demon realm full of magic. Sedna said that she was still choking and would go to heaven once, like this one, and then come back.

However, compared to other Elyos, as the relationship was connected with the Demon King, he did not suffer any damage from the Magi. Even if I said that I was choking, it wasn’t really harmful to my body, it was just a little uncomfortable. Anyway, Sedna was the best in the world to be with the contractor.

– But Lazier.

“uh.”

– You’re not going back to Zereira?

The red eyes of the Demon King Embildon narrowed for a moment.

“Well.”

When the vague expression returned instead of saying no, Sedna raised her head twinkly.

– Oh! Are you thinking of going back?

“‘Go back’.”

A low laugh was heard. At that wind, Sedna looked at him blankly.

‘I think I can see why all the demons were possessed by the demon king… … .’

Instead of being a human Razier, the demon king Embildon had a charm that seemed to be enchanted just by looking at it. The tone and attitude were the same, but strangely, the atmosphere was very different.

Even a succubus that seduces people and steals their spirits wouldn’t be this alluring.

Sedna shook her head in an attempt to get her mind to go hazy. In the meantime, the Demon King grinned and continued.

“It’s an overstatement for an island country where we’ve only stayed for a little over two years.”

– Is that so? Wow, I’ve been around for 2,000 years, so I guess I’m a little attached to Zereira.

“Well, you don’t even have to.”

The Demon King simply agreed. Then, holding the pink fox like a pillow, he looked up at the sky quietly.

The sky, where the sun and the moon coexist, gleamed with a strange blue light.

In the Demon Realm, neither day nor night, the sky lasts forever. The sunset, which runs like a river along the central line, is the only color that is not blue.

“Honestly, it was annoying.”

Embildon let out a feeling as if tossing it.

“It was kind of fun. To live as a human again.”

A contract agent signed with Prince Zereira.

It was in fact extremely insignificant and useless from the point of view of the Demon King. It certainly was at first.

But in the process, the Demon King realized. Being with people as a human was more interesting than I thought!

Even with his weak and insignificant body, he moves the hearts of many and draws trust. The people were surprisingly fickle and colorful.

These were so lively moments that the boredom I felt while reigning as a king in the demon realm ran away. The palpitations he had forgotten were in Zereira.

The Demon King obviously enjoyed Razier’s life.

– Heh, come to think of it, Razier said he remembers his previous life. What do you think?

“what.”

– That’s amazing! just wondering how you feel

“It’s nothing. It’s like waking up from a long dream. No matter how happy or sad it may be, when you wake up from a dream, you feel like you have nothing to do with me.”

Sedna was very curious about her past life after this war, but failed to remember. Not only Cheonho, but most of the Elyos and Asmodians could not recall the memories of their previous lives.

Except for Lucifer and Michaelos, who had disappeared, now only the Demon King Embildon and the Heavenly King Nathaniel remembered their previous lives.

The Demon King explained in an indifferent tone.

“Ah. It reminds me of a dream I had in the past.”

– like that.

Sedna, who had listened with her ears pricked up, muttered muffledly.

– Did I also kill someone?
