Isekai Taneuma

The demon king 300 years ago.

During the demon king crusade, Feng, who was ready to die, aggressively trapped Mary in the Kelukaion. However, it was not Mary who came out of the wand delivered to the village of Vinci, but a saint named "Sophia the True Ancestor." Looking like Mary herself, she also claimed to be the party member "Scorching Eye Sofia" when Feng was playing the game.

Her beautiful pure white dress and the tiara on her forehead definitely belong to the true ancestor of Sofia, according to Emperor Emilia. I mean, Feng just saw her wearing it in the Imperial Capital the other day.

The two Guards watching at the entrance are also staring at Sofia confused. Apparently, they lived a long time and served her there once, acting like they were seeing something incredible.

Unsure of what was going on, after a while of chaos, they finally regained calm and decided to talk to Sofia, who had come out of the cane anyway.

"Well, I don't know what to start with... but it's easier for you to ask me questions. Abigail, it's going to be a long story, so can I have some tea?"

As if she knew someone else's home, Sofia sat on the sofa of the reception set and asked for tea towards Abigail, who had disappeared by the wall. She seemed a little confused, but as soon as she regained her professional consciousness, she bowed and left the room.

There is also an inscription from the Emperor, and there can no longer be any doubt that she is the true ancestor of Sofia, who came out of the staff. At the same time, it seems that Leonardo was a lovely Mary. When the old man made the traffic, he asked her who had changed.

"In the meantime, I want to sort out the situation. You must be the real Sophia who built the Holy Empire back then, right? At the same time, it is Mary, whom the brave man brought 300 years ago."

"Yes, I'm sure. Until recently, I was named Mary Sue because my memory was sealed."

Leonardo quickly put his hand on his forehead without saying he had a headache.

"Three hundred years ago, the brave man brought you here to say that you are not his daughter. He didn't suspect it... but if it wasn't true, why did he have to tell such lies?

Sophia murmured her mouth a little. Abigail came back and lined up the teacups in front of the four people sitting in the reception set, and began pouring tea on them. In the silence that sounds like a tinnitus, only the sound of pouring tea is sounding inside the room....

Sofia lifted up the teacup, including a sip, nodded satisfactorily toward Abigail, and said slowly.

"... I don't like trouble, so I'm going straight to the point. Because I was the demon king 300 years ago."

"What... then...?

Leonardo looks at it with dismay. The Feng sitting next to him was surprised as a matter of course... but on second glance, the emperor's expression remained almost unchanged. Judging from that, it appears that she kept this fact secret.

Shouldn't Feng still trust the Empire...? I thought, but considering the contents, it would have been natural in a sense for her not to say anything. It seemed helpless to know why she had turned into a demon king.

"300 years ago. When I became a demon king, I was crushed by the heroes of my time... that is, spiders. Afterwards, he regenerated my dying body using the" Cradle of God ", sealed my memory in the Kerukaion and lied to my daughter. Whatever the reason, I became a demon king and killed a lot of people. He tried to save me from losing my temper to live, from being responsible and dying."

"Why did you become a demon king...?

"First of all, I want you to listen to the demon king based on the premise that the most powerful creature in the world will be born under the influence of Rasha. It's going to be a little long, so please put your questions behind you."

Sophia talked abominably after putting it in front of her.

"About a thousand years ago, I came down into this world. I've been fighting the Demons ever since. Back then, humans lived in the northern tip of the continent, far from Neuroi, in a frightening seclusion. In order to break the status quo, I used the" Shaking Cage of God "to create a saint and prepare for the Demons.

It went well at first. I think you know, but the demons have no reason and are retarded. That's why I'm not the enemy of a priest. That's how I kept defeating the Demons and spreading the prints of the Empire, but within that time, a very powerful demon tribe appeared. Needless to say, the Devil King.

I increased the number of priests to defeat the Demon King. I didn't fight alone, so I fought with a lot of violence. So the first crisis was overcome, but then the Demon King came to the Empire periodically.

In conclusion, since the Demons are poisoning themselves to produce a demon king, the individuals who have become somewhat stronger naturally come to take in our priests. This is how the battle between our Empire and the Demon King began... the Demon King will surely show up again, whether he crushes or crushes, and it has evolved steadily since the previous Demon King.

That's how the demon tribe tries to accumulate the memory of the demon king itself and create an individual that surpasses its enemies. In other words, our empire has always been part of Neurois's poison... but even if it fails, it may be possible to start over, but this isn't the case. That's why we're finally at our limit.

I increased the number of priests to deal with the Demon King who came in regularly. Five new countries were created, economies were developed, soldiers were raised, and 300 years ago, it became an army of over 100,000. I thought it would be perfect for any demon king to appear, but that was the opposite.

Does the Demon tribe try to steal its nature by eating enemies to strengthen itself or rape them to increase their families? I didn't commit any enemies like the Demons, but as a result, I increased too many members of the family of the gods... the gods were my children, and I was absolutely their parent... which meant that I became the most powerful emperor in the world as the emperor of this god's empire.

Rasha... parasites the most powerful person in the world who was born like that without asking questions. I realized that I had accumulated experience as a result of continuing to defeat the Demons. It was so high that it was impossible to be a saint, and there were also variations in status that were impossible for a saint. I thought it was convenient for me and David was benefiting from it, but apparently it was influenced by Rasha.

I have been fighting the Demon King for 700 years since I came to this world, so I also understood the system called the Demon King. So I realized that I was going crazy. But once this happened, there was nothing I could do anymore. David's support, too, but Rasha's orders come directly into our brains in a high-dimensional direction that we can't sense. I had no choice but to escape.....

I thought I was on the verge of becoming a demon king. I was anxious to destroy the world as it was. I thought about choosing death, but I'm sure if I did, the shared experience I saved would just be poured into another god and become a Demon King. Maybe Emilia was there. "

The Emperor, who spoke casually, is sweating cold with a faint expression. Sophia smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"That's why I tried to create a worrying quote, a person who could definitely defeat himself... that was you, Tsukumo."

"Am I...?

Feng repeated confused. She nodded sorry in response to that voice.

"At that time, I knew I was about to become Jabberwock the Demon King. When I thought of the man who could defeat Jabberwock... the first thing that came to mind was the guild of the game, the members of the rough penguin army...

That's how many thousands of times we took out Jabberwock in a stunning game. That's why my image as a demon king was anchored in a fictional beast named Jabberwock....

And luck or misfortune, the personal data of all the users at the end of that game's service was left in the Shake of God cage. "

"Why is that thing in there?

Feng asked in surprise and nodded in trouble.

"Because both the DAVID system and the game were actually developed by the same source... did you have any idea? It's a little confusing, so I'll ask you a few questions later."

"Ah, ahh, okay...."

"Genetic and memory information of the individual is stored separately for the priest. Therefore, even if the flesh is destroyed, it can be resurrected using the" Shaking Cage of God ". You know that, too. If the wanderer goes one step further, the wanderer will be able to replenish and revive his memory if he has a gene and a rough memory... which is actually the true identity of the heroic summons. I succeeded in resurrecting you from your genes and the game's personal data left in the server...."

That's why Feng's memory stopped at that point... after all, Feng's life seems to be going on properly. I don't know what he did afterwards in the original world, but anyway, when Sofia resurrected Feng, she quickly reached her limit and became the Devil King.

Then she became the demon king, losing her reason and seemed to remember nothing from there. But even if she doesn't know, Leonardo and the Emperor here know what happened. The emperor continued after Sofia.

"Immediately after becoming a demon king, the true ancestors began to destroy the Empire without reason. We managed to stop it, but the Jabberwock got stronger because he couldn't stand his teeth and eventually took us in to stop it.

The Imperial Guard couldn't help it anymore, and even if the armies of the five powers emerged, they couldn't defeat Jabberwock, who had become too strong. For the first time since the founding of our nation, we have only been wounded by the crisis of national survival, and we have found nothing effective to do with it.

However, at that time, spirits appeared from nowhere and suppressed the jabberwock from breaking out. "

Feng shouted happily.

"Yes, Spirit! There were spirits! You summoned my grandfather to this world and empowered me... who the hell are these people?

In the words of Feng, the emperor shook his head back, and Sophia shrugged her shoulders under his questionable gaze.

"I don't know. I know there are spirits, but I've never talked to them like Leo or Tsukumo. In that sense, I know you better than I do."

"The Genesis Myth says you made the Spirit?

"Oh, is that it? I was the one who heard that lie."

Feng, Leonardo, and all the people on the spot had an unexpected coming-out. I can't believe the myth of Genesis is mixed with the lies Sophia the true ancestor vomited.....

"Why did you do that?

"It's a simple story. If I were the one who made the priest, people would want to know how. But if the spirits told me it was made, I'd be convinced."

"Ah, ahh... I see. You're bluffing."

"That's what it is. I don't know about spirits, but they're probably just like Rasha and David. If this world were a game, it would be like a game master... well, that's what people call God."

Of course, Feng thought that it might be in the game. It would be impossible to think of it as a status, magic, or not like a game. He asked.

"Did you find something like a sign that this world might be a game?

And Sofia denied it.

"No, not at all. I mean, if that's the case, GM will reset and finish it someday. It's not going to happen, so you should think differently."

"I see....."

In the first place, if it is in a game that cannot be distinguished from reality, there will be no sense in consciousness itself. When Feng and the others shut up, the emperor saw that the conversation was over.

"Anyway... the intervention of the Spirit suppressed the Jabberwock for the first time, but it did not lead to a crusade. To be honest, I don't think spirits can defeat demon kings, so maybe there's a reason why they can't do it directly."

"That's right....."

Is the Spirit an enemy or an ally... Leonardo came to this world because Spirit Mitra asked me to help him fight other gods. Feng was empowered by the Hermes... or if I thought it was possible to fight the Devil Oak King soon enough that I could regain the power of the game era, I still feel like I'm on my side...

However, Feng had to be afraid of the danger of becoming a demon king because of the power gained. Honestly, which was better... it's where I suffer from discrimination.

That would have been the same for the brave 300 years ago. Leonardo, who was partying with him, told me about the time.

"When the Spirit was suppressing the Demon King, they fought against the demons who had invaded the Empire. The demons suddenly appeared from the great forest of Wallachia as if they were calling on the Demon King, and even with the army of 100,000 priests, it was best to stop them. The three men, James, Amadeus, and Isaac, defended the human race by defeating the demons that the Empire had leaked. The priests were strong, but there were some splits and frustrations in other species... they were like desserts to the Demons.

They didn't help people that way, but the more they help, the more they inevitably become. Eventually, too many rescued refugees became unable to move. And the demons didn't overlook such an immobile flock of sheep. A huge number of demons started attacking people... and it was the brave man who appeared in such a lifeless pinch.

By that time, they had already established modern magic, trampled many labyrinths, and acquired powers beyond their knowledge. But the strength of the brave was not the ratio. He used all his divine moves and ancient spells and was good at melee fights. Then, I learned modern magic from the samurai, and its overwhelming power made even the priests obey, and finally grew to challenge the demon king alone.....

They call it a brave party, but only one brave man actually fought the Demon King. They were just exposing themselves around it. After all, the opponent had unusual speed and physical abilities in the giant body, which exceeded tens of meters in length, and spit out even the rays of murder... but he finally defeated such a demon king. "

The demon king 300 years ago, that Leonardo had no hands or feet, was far too different in strength from the Oak King he had defeated the other day, as far as he could hear. That's because there was a difference in strength between the individuals who were the original demon kings.

The demon king 300 years ago was the true Sophia in front of him. At that time, she reigned at the summit of 100,000 priests, and if the power of the whole species of priests had been based on it, the power of the born Demon King would not have been half. Unlike the Oak King, the only salvation would have been the failure of his family to obey the Devil.

"I have been taught history several times since I came to this world, and so to speak, the true ancestor, Sofia, disappeared from the stage of history. I thought it was a long time ago that I might have died, but if I thought about it, I wouldn't die of old age unless I killed a priest. Is that why she disappeared?"

The Emperor nods at Feng's words.

"Yes, publicly, the true ancestor was missing in battle with the Demon King, but in fact, the true ancestor was the Demon King, so I couldn't announce it. In those days, the empire was devastated by the Demon King. The priests have dramatically reduced their numbers, and their true ancestors are no longer counting on them. There was widespread anxiety about what would happen if the next demon king attacked the Empire. On top of that, I didn't know what would happen if I knew it was the true ancestor who caused it... so some priests joined forces and decided to lie down. Neither does the Lord of the Five, including Lord Cain... except Lord Hermes."

Sir Hermes probably knew that fact through the brave man. And I knew that the brave man was about to demonize... He took Mary and Kerukaion from the brave man before he became the demon king, and when the brave man was gone, he himself died from the world.

He didn't seem to tell his descendants or kinsmen about Mary, either because he thought, like the Emperor, that the world would be upset if facts were leaked or because his descendants would hate to use Mary as an instrument of political struggle. Regardless of the reality, she was the last hope left by the brave man as his daughter.

Still... I know why Sofia reigned as the true ancestor of this world. But one thing remains unclear.

"Sofia, I need to ask you one more question, okay?

"What is it?

"In the first place, you... who manipulated 'Sofia of the Burning Eyes' in the game of the original world? I thought it was Emilia, but when I looked it up, it looked like Emilia was already dead when we were playing the game... she was pretending, so you know why?

Then Sofia showed a complicated expression that could not be said, then opened her mouth and squeezed the back of her neck with both hands, whispering a voiceless voice, and finally pulled her shoulders back as if she had given up.

"... I thought I'd have to tell you about it someday... but that's what I was going to do a few years after the service ended and you won't remember me anymore... so I don't want to tell you if it's true."

"I guess not now. Talk to me. Otherwise, I don't know what to do anymore."

"That's right... that's better. But this is really hard to say, so I want people other than spiders to leave their seats if possible."

Leonardo and the Emperor are watching. Is that something we can't tell ourselves? In response to Leonardo asking, Sofia nodded that it was only natural, and the old people left the room to change their seats.

Only Feng and Sofia were left in the reception room. The morning sun is rising and the sun is spreading all over the room. Her pure white dress breathed light and looked as if it were shining. Feng sat face to face with such a sigh of breath, and eventually she started talking. It was a continuation of an old tale that was much worse than expected and could not be forgotten if you wanted to.
