Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 209: The Lazy Demon King

Daldar-Belfegor, the moment he heard the name, Seyya immediately maxed his alertness to the old man.

I knew the old man was a powerful man, Seyya, but I didn't think the old man in front of me was the demon king with only seven people in this country.

When Seyya looks at Daldar, she finds herself ready to exercise her magic at any time. Because if you don't, you can't handle Daldar's unintentional blow.

But when he saw such a thing about Saiya, Daldar smiled.

"Ho, you don't have to be that comfortable. I'm not willing to fight you."

"............... why?

Seiya, who did not feel the will to fight any battles from Daldar, listened with only a little de-alerting. Still in a state where magic can be exercised immediately.

"On the contrary, I ask, why do you take hostility the moment you name me Demon King?

"It's..."

Seyya is stuck with the words of Daldar. Sure, if Seyya doesn't have to take hostilities, just because there was a demon king in front of Seyya doesn't mean she doesn't have to be on the alert.

Besides, Seiya is a Dacrya adventurer now.

"I have no reason to be hostile, but I'm not going to fight meaningless"

"Then..."

"Yeah, even if you were Leirian, I wouldn't attack."

It was Seyya, who was only completely de-alerted for a moment, but he heard the continuation of Daldar's words and went back into alert. That is due to Daldar's unconscious mention of Seyya's identity.

But seeing such a seiya, Daldar grinned again.

"Ho, so let's just say we're not willing to be hostile. why are you so vigilant"

"That's because I'm a Leirian person and you're a Dacrya person..."

Seyya is right. In Seyya's life so far, Leiria and Dakulia have clashed and taken each other's lives. So nature, Leiria and Dacrea will have no choice but to think that they are friends of the dog monkeys.

However, it is only the subjectivity of Seyya and has nothing to do with Daldar.

"Even if I were a Dacrya person, and you were a Leirian person, you wouldn't have to contend for no reason. Because we are the same people who carry the same magic."

"It may indeed be so..."

Daldar has a point, too. Both Leiria and Dacrya are the same people if they follow the original. Besides, "Magic Creation" spells out that ancient times are friends we lived with. There is no need to contend for no reason.

But Seiya, who has seen the clashes between Leiria and Dakulia in her previous life, is not a very easy theory to understand.

"Besides, half of you are Dacrya humans. How can you say Leiria?

"Why did you do that... what the hell did you do..."

Seyya breathes into the words that made Daldar contain. Daldar knows that Seyya can use not only light attributes, but also dark attributes. But Seyya uses neither dark nor light attributes in front of Daldar, nor does she smell magic.

In other words, Daldar will have known about Seyya once upon a time. Besides, it also means that half of the blood flowing inside Seyya is Dacrya's blood.

"This is rude. A little bit too late, I guess."

This is the end of the story, Daldar. But there was no way Seyya could do it, such as pulling it here. Daldar in front of me knows about Seyya. Besides, that's part of the memory that Seyya hasn't been able to get back yet.

"Please. Tell me about me."

"Ho, you say funny things. Ask others about yourself."

Daldar answers with a blur. That was an indication of willingness to teach, but Seyya continued to ask the question without any concern.

"Who the hell am I? Darkness and light, why it inherits the combination of the two attributes, but also the impossible. And demon king mo...... what the hell am I the other one. Why can I use holy attributes... who the hell am I... my parents..."

That's the numerous questions Seyya has had since she regained her dark attributes. Until now, I have used that power unconsciously, but when I think about it again, Seyya didn't know who the hell I was.

And whenever I thought about it, Seyya was driven by fear alone. Is it not true that I am not a being made of someone's conspiracy, that the memories that remain are not actually false and planted later, or is it not true that there is no such thing as a magician as Christina-Saya?

Such questions and anxieties occupied Seyya's heart.

Daldar hears the true meaning of Seyya and shows her a glimpse of thinking.

"Hmm, that's tough when they say that"

"Please. Why don't you tell me?"

For the first time there, Seyya bowed her head against Daldar. I'm not usually the kind of person who bows his head to people, but for Seyya it was a fact I wanted to know that much.

"Ugh, you're in trouble"

"Can't you?

"No, it's not that I can't..."

To the badly toothed Daldal, Seiya asks again.

"I don't mind any trivial things. Tell me who the hell I am."

"Oh, I get it. Let me tell you as much as I can."

Once Daldar cut the words there, he took a deep breath once and started explaining.

"First of all, it's about you, but you're a kind of half that inherits Leiria and Dacrea's blood. So you can use conflicting attributes: light and dark."

There was no certainty, but that's something Seyya could have expected too, so she snorts.

"As for the other you, it's you, not you. But it must be you."

To Daldar's words, Seyya puts her neck up. I know somehow what I'm trying to say, but I can only vaguely understand it.

But Daldar continued the conversation without worrying.

"That's all I can tell you about you."

"Become... ok"

It was Seiya who tried to argue only for a moment, but quickly turned to words. Because Seiya is only in a position where she is taught in good faith and not in a position to speak too strongly.

"What more can I tell you about this world?"

"This world?

Seyya shows confusion at the sudden increase in the scale of the story, but Daldar continues the conversation without looking concerned.

"You Leirian magicians are taught about Magic Creation."

"Magic Creation" - it is a material that marks the beginning of this world, a material that describes how Leiria and Dacrea were born today, and how magic was born, etc., and Leirian magicians are taught before learning magic.

After the death of his father, the two sons of God used the unique attributes they had for each other to wage war, to drive each other's forces, and sometimes to give magic to their fellow men, to make them fight, and to seek each other's victory. The result ended in the victory of the present Leirian side, which gave birth to the Kingdom of Leiria.

And it is a myth that the Royal Leirian perished by the emergence of the Warcraft, and that the present Episcopal Church, and the goddesses who manipulate the Holy Attributes, have emerged.

"The rhetoric you've learned is fake."

"Sure, Dacrya exists..."

As Seyya put it, "Devil's Creation" contains false truths about Dacrya. But what Daldar was trying to say was different.

"No, everything is false. This world is set up."
