Chapter 436: Interlude: Memoirs of a Certain Demon King Part One
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
(What is this?)Confused by the incomprehensible situation, I hastily looked around. The surroundings were pitch black, with only the front displaying a mysterious scene through a square window-like opening.
It seems I can move my body, but I cant actually go anywhere. The sensation is like floating in mid-air. No matter how much I flail my limbs, I feel no resistance, so its essentially no different from not moving at all.
(I cant speak. Well, if Im alone, theres no need to speak. So, what Im seeing is)
[Your ambitions end here! Today, my partner and I will finally put an end to you!]
[Fuhahahaha! Try if you can, foolish human hero!]
(This must be the Demon Kings memories sealed in that red stone.)
I can hear voices, but I cant see the Demon King himself. This is probably because the scene is from the Demon Kings perspective. In front of the Demon King stands a young man with sky-blue hair standing on end, wielding a shining sword. That must be the hero of that time, and
Lets go, Ciel!
As you command, Yuusha-sama!
Beside the hero stands a woman with shining silver hair and skin so white its almost transparent. Despite her white clothing, her eyes shine a striking jewel-like red.
The hero and his companion engaged in fierce combat with the Demon King. The Demon King unleashed a rain of black flame bullets using extraordinary mana, while the hero fearlessly charged at him, disregarding his own injuries. The white woman protected and healed the hero with holy magic.
The back-and-forth battle was truly worthy of being called an intense struggle. But of course, even such a fight must come to an end As half of the heros torso was blown away by the Demon Kings black spear magic, the heros sword finally pierced the Demon Kings abdomen.
At first glance, it seems like a mutual defeat, but the heros wounds heal immediately In contrast, the Demon Kings body was pinned to the floor, and strength rapidly drained from his body as it was corroded by the holys poison.
[Hah Hah Hows that, Demon King!]
[Impressive, hero But I am the Demon King. As long as I exist in this world, heroes will continue to be born. Even if this body is destroyed, I am immortal. I will eventually be revived in this land, and at that time, I will once again]
[No, we wont allow that.]
As the Demon King tried to leave a dying curse, the woman called Ciel stepped forward. Her body was enveloped in light, and in the next moment, she transformed into a beautiful white dragon.
[Indeed, even I, who have obtained divine power, cannot completely destroy the Demon King. But if he revives after being defeated, we need only seal him. Now, evil Demon King! Be embraced by the Holy Mother Dragon Ciel and fall into eternal slumber!]
[What!? I-Impossible, this cant be]
The Demon King, turned to black dust, was sucked into the wide-open mouth of the white dragon. The vision went dark for a moment, and when it returned, I saw the heros face.
[Ciel! Are you alright!?]
[Yes, hero. Theres no problem. I have sealed the Demon King here in this forehead.]
In the heros eyes, I could see a large red gem shining on the white dragons forehead. Does this mean the Demon King was conscious even in his sealed state? If so, he must have been in a state similar to mine right now Well, anyway.
[Come, lets go home, hero. A peaceful world awaits you.]
[Yes, lets go home together. To that nostalgic village.]
The hero, with gentle eyes, softly caressed Ciels cheek. These two or rather, this person and this creature, must have gone through a lot together, but unfortunately, the Demon Kings memories cant tell us about that.
Well, even without knowing the beginning or the process, the conclusion was a splendid and common heroic tale. The white Holy Mother Dragon continued to stay with the hero, watching over his life. He married the woman he loved, had children, grew old and when the hero passed away peacefully, Ciel quietly left the village and secluded herself deep in a snowy, sacred mountain far from human settlements, falling into slumber herself.
Ten years, fifty years, a hundred years, two hundred years Ciel spent a long, long time in a state of drowsiness. To eternally seal the Demon King, and to live eternally herself. Ciel, who had intended to sleep until the end of the world, was struck by tragedy one day.
[Gyaaaaaaaa!? Why!? Why are humans harming me!?]
[Hold her down tightly! Drive stakes into her limbs and cut off her wings! Dont let her escape!]
Fully armed soldiers, with bloodshot eyes, attacked Ciel. But Ciel, who has spent almost all her power on sealing the Demon King, could not resist the powerful binding magic that seems to have been set while she was sleeping. A middle-aged man in particularly splendid armor stepped forward and addressed her.
[Please dont struggle so, Holy Mother Dragon Ciel.]
[If you know who I am, then why are you doing this!?]
[That is, of course to obtain whats on your forehead.]
[On my forehead!? Child of man, do you know what this is!?]
[Of course. The Demon Kings infinite mana, that is our objective.]
[Aaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?]
The red gem was gouged out of Ciels pinned forehead. As the vision spinned around, I saw the pitiful sight of the white dragon, bleeding all over and slumped down, yet still shedding tears.
[No, no That is the world will]
[Thank you for your hard work until now. But your dedication is no longer necessary. From now on, we humans will take on the role of managing the Demon Kings power.]
[General, what should we do with the dragon?]
[Give her a merciful end Let this mark the end of an era.]
[Sir!]
At the words of the middle-aged man called general, the soldiers resumed their attack on Ciel.
[Aaaaah Even so, I the promise At least the Demon King, I must]
Her white skin was soaked in blood, and her agonized screams dissolved into the sky. But the man with the red gem left without witnessing the end of her life Another blackout. The next scene that unfolded was a strange place made of stone and metal. A faint green light illuminated the dim room, and as the door in front opened with a bright light, a man in white clothes walked leisurely.
[Hows the reaction?]
[Its amazing. No matter how much we extract, the mana never runs out It feels like scooping water from the sea with a bucket.]
[Hahaha, thats fortunate. To think they were bound by outdated values and left such a power source untapped. But things will be different from now on. With this much mana, human society will become richer and more convenient.]
[Indeed. If we dont have to worry about efficiency or output, most of the magical devices that were only theoretical until now can be put into practical use.]
[Exactly! Providing purified water to slums, healing people suffering from severe injuries or incurable diseases, or even extending human lifespans everything that was impossible due to the limits of mana will become reality. Ah, its wonderful. Truly wonderful! To think that the sacrifice of a single dragon could solve so many of the worlds problems!]
[Um, that way of putting it is a bit]
[Oops, thats right. Please forget what I just said. While giving thanks to the great Holy Mother Dragon, let us use utilize the power of the Demon King who trampled the human world, to lead humanity to happiness!]
As the man made this declaration with exaggerated gestures, the Demon Kings consciousness once again fell into darkness. And this was truly the beginning of the true end.
