Vol 2 Chapter 6 (2/2)
Back then, 10,000 years ago, every God, not just the God of fate, had their own ean to forainst the demon race
(TL: Presumably from elves, humans and whatever leftovers)
Though they were the demon race’s slaves, humanity swiftly switched sides
The crusade lasted for 200 years The fla and left the continent barren The deht to the bitter end, but in the end, they fell to the Godlike destructive powers of the emissaries and thus the continent was handed over to the new master race chosen by the Gods
Humanity
The de beyond comparison, and could not be allowed to live even if they surrendered The huan operations to scour the continent and completely eradicate every last member of the demon race This process too took another 200 years until the last member of the demon race died and hu of its former masters
And from then on, humanity rules the world
But humanity had committed 2 mistakes
First, humanity had not actually killed all me before humans could find him He was sealed in a coffin filled with mercury and sealed from the outside with thick layers of chains, and thrown into the sea He was the 13th prince of the demon race
Second, hus from the demon race Of these, one was a method to prevent the extinction of the dee could use this method to preserve their souls indefinitely and eventually seek a suitable host and revive theeance
Huht of these
Until 10,000 years later, a certain organisation called the Pentacle found a dusty sealed coffin that had its entire surface engraved ords froe And froue of as to coan
My heart thumped in my chest, and cold sweat ran down my back as I realised I had just learnt about a terrible, ancient secret that had been protected for tens of thousands of years For Skinny to share all of this, itwas in motion and was unstoppable I don’t even knohere I am now but a carefully crafted nefarious plot was about to coe forever
But that would be a change not for the better, it would be an unprecedented disaster
The black haired boy did not seem to understand the seriousness of the situation
“Oh, and then,” he asked, as if he had just heard a casual story, “after getting hold of this de him?”
Keke, he suddenly gave a silly laugh on thinking about so
“Don’t tellto stick a talisman on his forehead?”
(TL: In Chinese myths, and Taoisshi+) and controlled by use of special taliso to the local Chinese teet talismans and stick them on corpses)
“For this, you do not need to know”
“Alright then, let’s say you successfully revive the de As I recall, the de he will do when he wakes up is destroy you lot”
“Impossible,” Skinny said with ut”
“Weren’t you all going to put him on a table and worshi+p him?”
“No, our goal is not to worshi+p the demon race”
Skinny stood up, and looked down upon us with a look of utter contempt
“But to make all of humanity worshi+p us”
“…”
“We will fulfill the wishes of our believers and punish all non-believers Be it ending all wars or to overthrow tyrants, with the power of the de! Instead of the Gods who have done nothing for humanity, aren’t we more worthy of worshi+p?”
He opened his arms wide
“We, the ‘Dee Sect’, are the true Gods”
“… You’re right, I have been touched by your words”
“Is that so”
“But,” the boy continued, “Before beco Gods, you need ro first preserve your lives”
“Huh?” Skinny could not comprehend the boy’s words
“Didn’t you hear it? Since just now, there’s been a commotion below”
Now that the boy said it, I noticed that there were indeed faint noises of a fight, and the floor was even shaking
“No good Pete!” The fatty who left cah the door, “There’s an elf—Uwaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Before he could finish, he was sla from his mouth
A girl walked in froolden hair floated behind her, revealing her pointy ears and a sakura pink mark between her eyebrows
Even in such a situation, I couldn’t help but to sigh
What a beautiful girl…
“Return Molan to h a howling blizzard was contained in it
“You, you,” Skinny opened his eyes wide, forced back by the girl’s pressure, “There are 32 people downstairs, how did you get up here!?”
“I defeated all of them”
“Tess!” The boy shouted joyfully
“Molan!”
The girl’s expression changed in an instant, as though the devil from before was another person, and she shyly s had arrived
“You came to save me!”
“Un!”
Skinny kneas no rabbed the boy on my shoulder and used the boy to shi+eld himself and placed a shortsword at the boy’s neck
“Don’t come over!”
Skinny suddenly keeled over and let go of the bot He clutched at his chest, opened hisnearby as his eyeballs bulged and his body convulsed before finally fainted and collapsed
The girl walked to the boy and untied the ropes
“I sealed his lungs ind”
“You can even do this sort of thing? Tess is really awesome”
“Hn hn~”
On seeing the beaten up state of the boy’s face, the girl’s eyes turned murderous once more
“Did they hit you”
“Just a few times”
“…”
“It’s okay it’s okay, just a set back”
The boy patted the girl’s head, and the girl soon relaxed completely and seemed like a meek kitten
“You forgot the ear muffs”
“Ah… I forgot”
“It’s not exposed yet, there shouldn’t have been anyone harassing you in the streets right?”
“No one at all”
“That’s good, how did you know I’m here?”
“Saw it in a dream”
“As I expected Heihei, I just knew Tess would come to save me”
“Un un”
After a while, the boy searched Skinny for the stack of gold certificates and came to untie the ropes off the completely shell-shocked me
“I’ll leave the other hostages to you”
He tore off several gold certificates and passed them to me
“I don’t know if this is enough for you to get hoht, don’t ever leave your parents again”
The boy smiled kindly, with a hint of loneliness behind it
“I’ll be going now”
“Wait!”
I called to stop the boy and elven girl
“What’s your name! Can I still-”
-ain?
Seeing the boy hold the elven girl’s hand, I sed back the second half of what I wanted to say
“… Send servants to deliver solid gold to your household!”
“Haha, I have no household for you to send solid gold to But I can tell you my name,” The boy said, “I’m Molan Faburando”
“Molan Faburando…”
The boy left, but I repeated his narave it in my memory
“Molan Faburando… Molan Faburando…”
…
“Molan Faburando… Isn’t that the name of the wanted criminal?”
