4.5 Their Story

[1] Serr Al Acerid: Ah, I wish… this wasn’t real…

“Really? Go ahead and kill everyone, then.”

The golden-haired kid stared at me with a grin on his face.

Normally, I’d just have killed… actually, no. Normally, I’d just have beat him up really badly.

But I can’t do anything. Was it because he was a descendant of the Emperor? No. Not even the emperor’s sons would dare do anything to me. His daughter is a bit troublesome, but she couldn’t do something like that. Seeing the emperor’s son’s cousin do something like this would make me beat him to a pulp, but…

The problem lies in the fact that this kid is supposed to kill the demon king.

I’m not talking about any normal demon king either. I’m talking about the one that’s an actual danger to the world.

See, this world actually has three different types of demon kings.

First, the demon king.

The king of the demon race.

Of course, there aren’t many demon tribes that got together to form an actual country, but there are several demon nations out there.

Second, the demon king.

The spelling and p.r.o.nunciation of it is no different from the first one, but this is supposed to be the ruler of demons sent by the Evil G.o.d.

These demon kings are bestowed with major blessings from the Evil G.o.d. The ones that manage to survive the blessings go onto become the demon king.

Unlike the excalibur, where you could just leave if you failed, the blessing would kill you if you failed. If you didn’t die, you’d become king.

Third, the demon king.

Again, written and p.r.o.nounced the same.

But it’s different from the other two.

This demon king fights humans, but trades with them as well.

This is the same for humans. They fight each other, then trade with each other.

In other words, the this demon king isn’t friendly or evil, but neutral. The only thing different about the demon king compared to the human king would be his race.

The second kind of demon kings are mythical beings, just like the excalibur.

The one that would unite all the demons in the world. It might as well be called an emperor.

This is actually a bad thing for us humans. Why? Because in the myths regarding this demon king, it is said that this particular one would bring humans to ruin.

But the last kind of demon king is different.

It’s basically a final boss that would take in all the evil in the world, and bring the world to ruin.

If the last demon king was the king of the demon race, this one is the king of all demonic evils. Many say that this thing is just a myth, but I know for a fact that it is real. I know that it would appear in this world soon as well.
