Volume 6 Chapter 16: A Fight from the Past
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The crowd was stunned.
Three of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon Emperors, had suddenly run amok.
Two of them had been remorselessly disposed of by Cain, and the remaining ones were only Seto and the unconscious Agus.
With Aaron’s consciousness leaving, Cain had somehow managed to put things to rest, but who knows what would have happened had Aaron kept his consciousness there.
And if Cain had used magic at full power, the imperial capital would not have been spared. But he knew it would be difficult to fight head to head with Aaron if he didn’t do so.
Aaron, on the other hand, simply saw other beings as tools. He wouldn’t care no matter how much damage came to the environment around him.
Cain had obviously been at a disadvantage.
As the silence stretched on, Lisabeth went up onto the stage alone. She took a deep breath, then spoke.
“Everyone. This is reality. Three of the Demon Kings have been plotting to kill the imperial family. If Cain-dono had not been here like this, my older brother, the Demon Emperor, would have lost his life. And you all might have also come to harm. He has the ability to take on three Demon Kings and not back down. Do we demons not function based on power? So shouldn’t we pay our respects to the human who showed us his power? And if there is still anyone with complaints, they will have to face me.”
The response from the crowd was –––– a resounding cheer.
Lisabeth smiled at those cheers, and raised her hand up high.
The cheering instantly stopped.
“I now know how you all feel. We will have a discussion with Cain-dono and the humans and let you know again later, I think.”
Logsia also went and stood next to Lisabeth to show the crowd once again that he was safe.
“Everyone. As you see, I am uninjured. If Cain-dono hadn’t been here, I would have died with that gaping hole in my chest. Once again, I would like to thank Cain-dono and make friends with him personally. Everyone, celebrate our new human friend.”
Wooooooooooooooooooooo––––!
And, amidst the resounding cheers, the imperial family’s speech ended.
In their undiminished excitement, the crowd went to drink. There were drinking parties being held everywhere. There were people who had witnessed Cain’s battle. They also spoke of the contents’ of Logsia and Lisabeth’s speeches.
They also spoke of how three of the Demon Kings had tried to kill the imperial family.
And, separate from the celebrating people, in a reception room in the castle, the atmosphere was heavy.
Present in the room were Logsia, Lisabeth, Seto, and Cain.
A magic-sealing bracelet had already been put on Agus, and he was imprisoned in a high-security prison for important people on the very lowest floor of the castle.
“So then, until the next Demon Kings assume office, you will be alone, Seto-dono. I’ll be relying on you for a while.”
Seto nodded at Logsia’s words. As a good friend of his, Seto intended to help him, as he would Cain.
However, while there would be no problems in regards to the imperial capital, what would happen in the countries that had been ruled by the other Demon Kings was still unclear.
Cain had heard that there had also been countries that hadn’t been so friendly towards humans.
However, with the whole ‘power is everything’ thing, Cain could just overwhelm them with force.
“And then… Cain-dono, can we ask? About the things Agus and the other two swallowed…”
Logsia and Lisabeth looked at Cain with serious faces. While they had seen what happened to people who swallowed those crystals themselves, they still had to devise countermeasures.
But in order for Cain to explain about that, he had to explain about himself first, so after pondering over it for a little, he began talking.
“I would like to ask you to keep what I am going to say here to yourselves. Otherwise, I won’t talk.”
Logsia took a deep breath at Cain’s serious expression.
“I give you my word. What do you take me for.”
“I too, promise. I shan’t tell anyone else.”
“Me too. I won’t tell others.”
Once Cain had made sure they all agreed, he began his explanation.
“Firstly, those crystals are things that seal the Evil God, or Aaron, the former God of Games. Three hundred years ago, Aaron fell from godhood and went about destroying this world. After a battle with the heroes who were summoned back then and a lot of sacrifices, he was sealed. The crystal he was sealed in was crushed into many, many pieces, which were carried all over the world and hidden out of sight of people.”
“““……”””
The three of them became speechless just from Cain’s opening words.
They were aware that the world had gods, but they weren’t easily convinced that one of those gods themselves would try to drive the world to destruction.
“……Cain-dono, how do you…? That Aaron that took over Agus seemed to know you too…”
“Well… actually, I’ve fought with someone bearing Aaron’s ego in the past. Although it wasn’t like this time, where he took over the body…”
“I still feel like you know too many details…”
“That’s… because I heard it directly from the Hero, Yuuya-san, who fought him in person.”
The three of them became speechless once again.
Among the ones who had fought Aaron together with the Hero Yuuya, who had founded the Kingdom of Esfort and was its first king, there had also been demons.
And that was exactly why that history was written down, and the books of it were brought back to the empire.
They had become important documents of history in the imperial capital as well, and had been carefully stored away in the archives.
Both Logsia and Lisabeth had read at least part of it when they had been studying as members of the imperial family.
“…!? What!? It’s also in the demons’ history books, and I read that he battled with the humans a few hundred years ago. Perhaps… the Hero is still alive!? Humans’ lifespans aren’t that long, are they…?”
(Oh yeah… Yuuya-san is actually a demigod… Can I just explain to them that he’s a god…)
“About that––––”
“Wait!”
A voice belonging to neither Logsia, nor Lisabeth, nor even Seto rang out across the room.
Tension instantly ran across the room.
Then, Cain turned towards the direction the voice had come from…
“Yo, long time no see. Cain. I’ll take the explanation from here.”
With a rough appearance and a smile, Yuuya, the Hero, was standing by the wall.
