Chapter 163 (2/2)

As for me, the ring on my finger shows the clear advantage I have.

I am grateful to Soara-San for what she did. But if possible, I want to win Toru-Sama's love with my own strength.

”I want you to meet someone downstairs. They have something important to tell you.”

”Okay.”

I left my room and went to the conference room on the second floor.

----Separation----

”This is Elohim-Sama, the Spirit Queen.”

Before me stood a gorgeous woman, radiating beauty from head to toe.

The whole place fell silent.

”The reason I have come here and requested a meeting is to rescue the Manyu Brigade from danger.”

Toru-Sama is in danger?

What do you mean by that?

”Demon King Rudra has embarked on a mission to assassinate the members of the Manyu Brigade.”

”Is there a demon king here too?”

”There are many, everywhere. However, the problem now is Rudra, the current Demon King. This being has come from afar and rapidly expanded his power. He has finally reached Petardaus, and at one point, he was even able to contain me, the Wind Spirit Queen.”

Rudra used the evil dragon and succeeded in sealing the spirit queen.

If the blessing of the Spirit Queen is completely lost, this land will be dominated by the demon race in the blink of an eye.

Elohim continues to speak.

Rudra's real goal is to overthrow the ancient Demon King, Roswell.

The ancient Demon King has a huge amount of experience points.

If defeated, even Rudra, who has lived for hundreds of years, can manage to surpass Roswell's power.

However, Roswell's power is gigantic. And it is said that Rudra cannot cope with it.

So Rudra took the time to gather a force loyal to him.

He even recruited several nations to join his forces, hoping to bridge the gap in strength with numbers.

All of his plans were going well, but... The Manyu Brigade was getting in his way every time.

In Petardaus, they planned to contain the Spirit Queen and take over the country.

In Jornen, they planned to use the three demon generals as a distraction to attack the city.

And in Galbaran, they were planning to assassinate the king to build a base of operations that would form the core of the assault on Roswell.

”They are absolutely wonderful people. I'm sure the Demon King was foaming at the mouth as each of his plans began to fail one after the other.”

Elohim continued speaking.

”The Manyu Brigade will soon arrive in the country where Rudra is. And as it was a matter of time, Rudra already recognized them as the biggest threat he must destroy, and began a full-scale search.”

Now that Rudra is after Toru-Sama, an inevitable battle is about to begin.

”Toru-Sama is a very strong man. Even if Rudra is a Demon King, he doesn't stand a chance against him. He is also the same one who defeated the Demon King from where we came from.”

”The Manyuu Brigade is very strong, I'll give you that. But, you are not contemplating the shedding of tens of thousands of the blood of the innocent that will happen along the way during this war. Many of Rudra's soldiers are forced to work and fight as slaves.”

Elohim continued speaking.

”Can you truly accept that countless innocent people will die if this goes on? Do you even realize how heartbroken they will be after this?”

”Well...”

”Rudra is cunning, and will use any means necessary as long as he wins.”

I was speechless.

What a terrible thing I was thinking.

I assumed on my own that Toru-Sama would be able to overcome any predicament because he was strong.

And it was normal for me to think that way, since I'm not the one getting my hands dirty to solve the problems at hand.

I was so focused on his kindness and personality, that I never stopped to think of all the bad things Toru-Sama might have to do to save us.

”I see what you mean, you want me to follow your orders to save Toru-Sama?”

”Yes. I'm going to ask you to do something very difficult as soon as you arrive, but please help them. And please give us a chance to give those who live here their lives back.”

I nodded my head as I said; ”I will.”
