Chapter 249 C Between B and D (3)
Stomp, stomp The sound of footsteps came fro to the yard, and even the entrance of the main hall Soon, he looked around and found hiures at once
“Haiaru…!” Then he heard a faaped open “M-Murumuru?”He saw Murumuru, the leader of the half-demons, and four others of their kind
“How are you here…!”
“I had uy told ht it couldn’t be! But…!”
The half-deuy’
“A human…?” Haiaru saw a human man in front of him; it was a face he had never seen before He didn’t knoas happening or why his companions had suddenly appeared like this, but Haiaru quickly racked his head and said, “I don’t knohy you are acting like this, but it’s a , Murumuru You must not believe that human’s lies—”
“Shut up!” Murumuru cut Haiaru’s off in an instant, and thus Haiaru realized things were going horribly wrong But he believed it would still be alright since he had accooal
“Why did you betray us…!”
“How am I the traitor?”
“What?”
“Aren’t you the one who’s being stupid? Don’t you know the current situation is better than anything else? What’s the point of continuing this hopeless fight!?” The one who had done wrong was barking the loudest Murumuru looked at Haiaru in bafflement, at a loss for words
“I simply wanted to live Is it a sin to look out foryou wanted to say?” Murumuru’s voice dropped several octaves, and soon, a sas drawn It was clear froaze that he intended to slice Haiaru in two this instant
“No, I still have things left to say,” Haiaru responded and even boldly suggested, “Murus have reached this point, why don’t we join hands? Not just you, but every one of our kind”
Murumuru snorted, “You really must have lost your mind Do you really think ould accept your offer?”
“Is there any reason not to?” Haiaru calmly continued, “You must also know the sort of treatuys have at least a conscience, they shouldn’t bla theue accepted us We are fellow coether!”
“All they did was accept us into their group We fought with all we had in wars, but in reality, ere always treated like outsiders And that’s not all!” Haiaru gripped his fists tightly “Even though we passionately protested against it, the league ignored our complaints and took the huue for choosing to collaborate with humans and ran off to the Deenuinely apologized for discriainst us and said that they would treat us as equals if we fought with the empire now!”
“Ha! Do you seriously believe the Demon Empire?” Murumuru shook its head in astonishht ould lose this war, so you wanted to save yourself That’s all there is to it, Haiaru”
“…”
“Not even the Sernitas or the Abyss, but you dare join hands with the Demon Empire… I suppose they were the only ones ould even pretend to accept you,” Muruly “You sly and vile coward You should be ashamed of yourself! You are the shame of our kind!”
“It’s fine whatever insults you throw at me You can blabber all you want” Haiaru snorted “But as you are alsoyou a chance”
“A chance?”
“I don’t kno you found out, but it’s already too late Everything is over,” Haiaru said and glanced toward the entrance “Aren’t you hearing it?” It was faint, but they could hear athe city, and the sound was getting closer It seeates any time now
“…It was true”
“Did you think I was lying?”
Murumuru murmured, and Haiaru made a confident smile “Do you realize it now? What you should do—”
“He didn’t say a single lie…”
“H about?
“You are probably i in your fantasies” Murumuru raised its sword and pointed it at Haiaru “But I won’t kill you i all of a sudden?”
“It would be a waste to kill a guy like you now You have to witness everything you’ve caused with your own eyes”
“Have you been listening to me? Do you still not realize the situation you are in?”
“And then, when you are in great despair, I will take special care to kill you slohile inflicting the greatest amount of pain I can onto you”
Haiaru clicked his tongue, but Murumuru looked unbothered Then Murunal that Chi-Woo could begin now since the confir,” Kabal said in the state of Kabbalah “I agreed to it because of the conditions, but I didn’t think everything would unravel so sirl as she asped when he saas inside Kabal’s hands It was the flower of light he had presented as an offering
“Why is that…!” Haiaru shouted
“What is it?” Chi-Woo asked
“It’s an ite the condensed form of Fenrirs’ God’s divinity”
“Oh”
“With this much, on’t have to use your merits” Kabal stroked the flower petals and sht about it To think every piece would fall perfectly into place As expected…” Kabal looked at Chi-Woo intently and asked, “You reht?”
“…Yes”
“Good That’s all I need to ask” Kabal let out a long sigh For some reason, she appeared a bit bitter and threo flower petals toward Chi-Woo Haiaru looked co about?
Going back to the past—before Chi-Woo hashed out a plan with Evelyn
“A Godly territory isn’t an alhty asset,” Evelyn told hiet any God to establish a Godly territory by offering thee over the Demon Empire within the sanctuary” Evelyn crossed her ar “But if a priest who studied ancient history heard this, they would be shaking their head like crazy at such a belief” Then she asked the group, “What do you guys think a Godly territory is?”
“Uh…it’s a holy territory,” Ru Hiana answered
“Why don’t you explain it in more concrete and specific terms?” Evelyn shook her head
Chi-Woo responded, “It’s a place where a God chooses as their territory and graces the land with their blessings and protection”
“Correct!” Evelyn pointed at Chi-Woo and winked “It’s as you say A Godly territory is where a God’s influence has been strongly poured into—a God’s influence” Evelyn put special emphasis on the word ‘influence’ and asked, “Then, what do you think this influence is? What sort of influence does a God have that determines the Godly territory’s effects?”
