150: First Demon King's Tomb Mark

Lillian also heard the idea of "Kupidus" for the first time. Of course, their very existence was deaf to me without knowing the details... but I had never heard of their distorted thoughts.

"What do you mean? God? What do you know?

Lillin pursues Akwinas as he has described.

"If you were here, everyone would have heard of you..."

The name shocks everyone's face and strengthens them.

So, what is it? Is it true that the Kupidus were trying to resurrect God as well as a demon?

Akwinas agrees to Lillin's question.

"That's what you said earlier about Xel, right? It says here about Sacrifice and the gods they allegedly worshipped."

Certainly there was something like that in Xel's explanation, but Lily herself didn't take it so seriously.

Not many of them worship and believe in God that they created, but they have done so in the past, and it was no strange story.

But if the god was not an idol, but a demon that actually appeared in the world, the story would be different.

"There is no doubt in the Ancient Egyptian Letters that there is a reference to the Devil Netsafa."

Lillin looked at Xel's face to make sure, but he nodded seriously to confirm.

"The Demon Netzhafa was a long time ago, trying to destroy this [idea]. The First Demon King Adams could not leave behind the" Kupidus tribe "that was trying to revive such a existence. That's why Adams decided to bury them from history."

"... couldn't we discuss this?

Yveam asks anxiously, but Akwinas shakes his head down.

"... what was in their eyes was madness itself. They said this when they confronted Adams. Only the Devil can save us."

"... I see."

"The person who doesn't listen at all. But if we leave them alone, disaster will strike the world eventually. So Adams made up his mind. I destroyed them with my own hands."

"Certainly, even if you have some special abilities, it doesn't matter in front of the first demon king. The moment I see her, it's no exaggeration to say that her life is over."

Marione lined up her words to praise her as she put her arms together, but Lillin slapped her tongue lightly. Shiva and Akwinas were the only ones who noticed the tongue, but Lillin was certainly in a bad mood.

Lillin was uncomfortable because it felt like the blood of the first demon king flowing into her body was raging. It was as if I was happy that I was being talked about.

It was still not interesting because what Marione said was not wrong.

(Certainly, if the power of the first demon king is the power, it will not be an opponent such as a minority that Takata is only capable)

Even Lillin had to admit that Adams' power was too far out of line. That's how warm it feels to even feel the word wanting injustice.

The story of the connection between the first demon king of Akwinus and the Kupidus tribe ends, and everyone unconsciously sighs.

"Now, let's get back to what we found out about the relationship."

It was Xel who cut my mouth off.

"Why the Kupidus needed to produce Sacrifice, because it was necessary to revive the Devil."

Necessary?

When Marione asked back, Xel pulled his chin slightly.

"Yes, this article says that the Demon created Sacrifice, but Sacrifice was originally part of the Demon's body."

"What the hell!

"That's why I first built Sacrifice and used it as a medium to plan for the resurrection of the Demon."

"That's why the Kupidus were trying to generate Sacrifice in the Door Ruins."

Marione nodded with great care.

"But as a result, the First Demon King destroyed the family and was unable to continue the ritual."

"Then what was the mummy Lord Kuzel was talking about?

Now Yveam asks him a question.

"... various conditions are required to generate Sacrifice. One is a lot of flesh."

…………

"Perhaps they were ready to transport their friends killed by the first demon king to the ruins. I didn't tell you, but there were mummies in the coffin that they would have killed."

"No way...."

"Yes, it must have been dedicated to the creation of Sacrifice. It seems to be better to have a living body, but for that they must have gathered a lot of bodies."

Yveam puts his hand around his mouth and looks disgusting.

"But before I could perform the ritual, the first demon king destroyed me. That's why the ceremony was interrupted, and the body abandoned at the ruins was mummified. Originally, the body was supposed to be extinct and only bones, but it was written here that the coffin had the power to prevent as much corruption as possible and mummify it."

Then he pointed to the book on the desk.

"But why did the interrupted ritual suddenly resurrect and produce Sacrifice?

Yveam's question is natural. But when he heard the words, Xel looked down with a painful expression.

"... because I went there."

"... what do you mean?

"First of all, one of the conditions for the production of Sacrifice, many bodies, is the mummy that rests in many coffins."

Everyone nodded back and said they were convinced.

"Next, we need a commensurate medium to generate Sacrifice."

"Mediating...?... is that Master Xel's sword?

"The Devil is right."

"Well, surely a sword made by someone like Xel Gio can serve as an impeccable mediator."

Akwinas praises Xel's sword, but he remains reluctant. I am glad to be praised, but I am convinced by his expression because it caused immeasurable trouble.

"The sword there was made quite a long time ago, but the material and construction were comparable to those of the other children."

"Well, the weapons Kuzel built were scattered all over the world, so it's no wonder they got into the hands of the Kupidus."

Lillin and the others were convinced by Siuba's words.

"But still, only the sword is in the flesh. What the hell are you gonna do to make Sacrifice?

Lillin answers as soon as she continues to Siuba.

"The rest was easy. Their rituals were almost finished."

"Was it finished?

"Yes, and the next thing you know, if someone with a lot of magic can fly the Sacrifice and the Spirit, it's done."

"What?

"I noticed later. The room itself played the role of a large magical team."

It is difficult to confirm from the top, but the coffin arrangement is just like drawing a magical formation, and the Xel standing in the center of that magical formation ironically meets the activation conditions.

The weakness he felt at that time was due to the magic taken by the activation of an unusual ritual.

And he says. The unusual and creepy intentions felt when entering the room and speaking the name of Sacrifice were the intentions of the "Kupidus" who had settled there.

The will to sense the intrusion of the powerful led Xel successfully to the successful birth of Sacrifice.

"Perhaps there was a strong resentment going on there. When I think about it now, I feel that my thinking and judgment abilities were controlled by something different from normal me. That may be my desire to make it complain, but I ended up with the results they wanted before I was destroyed."

Xel exhales painfully with a sad look.

"If I didn't know anything... I can even say it was an accident, but my sword was used and Sacrifice was born because I went there. No matter what you think, I'm sorry."

Everyone's wondering what to say.

"Ujiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Lily was staring at him with ruby red eyes as she pointed her mouth at him.

"Lillin...?

"You're a genius for saying things about the past! I thought you decided not to run anymore! Then be brave and face the problem! Or are you going to end up regretting it!

I shouted my finger at Xel. None but Sheuba, who was around, smiled, became a jiotong, and lost his word.

It took a while and the cheeks of Xel that had been stunned were loosened.

"You're no match for Lillin. It's okay. Hiro taught me. I won't run away anymore. So I'm going to show you what I know."

"Hmph, if you know what I mean."

"Nofofofo, good to see you, miss."

Looking at them, Akwinas seemed to have a faint smile, but nobody noticed the smile.

Then he immediately opens his mouth with a serious expression.

"Then let me use that knowledge and know-how. Xel Geo, are you sure the ancestral demon king has the Sacrifice?

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I don't know how I got it from [Belial Sea], but it's not wrong because it's my sword originally."

"Hmm, I used the power of Sacrifice to acquire the secret treasure of [Shanjumon Cave]," The First Demon King's Core. "It's hard for Russia to believe, but you're sure about that?

"Yes, perhaps the ancestral Demon King cut his own life and forced Sacrifice to destroy the illusion created by the First Demon King's Core."

"The Magic Sword that can do such a thing... means that the ancient demon king has Sacrifice, which is part of Ka's Demon Netzhafa. This doesn't work...."

The words of Akwinus shaken Yveam's and Marione's heads vertically. They seem to understand the magnitude of the matter.

Although part of the "Demon" that was about to lead the world to ruin, it was a serious matter that cannot be missed that Avolos, who declared war on the world, possessed the power.

The effect has already been proven. The fact that the "First Demon King's Core" was said to be unavailable to everyone tells the story. Moreover, it is terrifying that it was done with a single sword.

The demon kings were worried about the future.

"Let me ask you one thing....."

Say what Lillin had a little doubt about.

" The First Demon King's Core ...... Why was it stored in such a place?

There was something mysterious about Lillin in the first place. Why does the "First Demon King's Core" still exist in this world? And why was it hidden in [Shanjumon Cave]?

The first demon king Adams, who once had such great power, set out on a wandering journey by leaving his death to a trusted man. They told the nation they were looking for a place where they deserved to die.

Everyone objected, of course.

What we do is rude, stubborn and bold, yet beautiful enough to attract everyone's attention. Even so, she was the founder of [Demon Kingdom/Haos] and the leader of the "Demon Clan".

So even if you die, there are many people who want the country to complete its life expectancy. Yes, everyone was grateful to her.

But most people know that she never bends what she once said. Persuasion was pointless. And she turned her smile and left the country like the wind in front of everyone.

Among those who saw the sight was a woman named Sharoo. She was the one Adams entrusted with the kingdom, and undoubtedly Adams' blood was drawn from her daughter.

--Charles Li Laisis Red Rose.

And it was Lillin Li Lacis Red Rose who gave birth to the daughter with a stomach ache.

Sharu, his mother, told me what Adams was like. And that my magic is the same as Adams'.

No one in the world has the same unique magic. This means that Adams, who went on a journey, died somewhere. Lillin was aware of that.

However, the fact that Adams' second heart is stored in the [Shanjumon Cave] near the [Magic Kingdom] means that at least it is likely that someone watched Adams die.

And now, while discussing around Xel, I wondered why the "First Demon King's Core" was stored here, and tried to confirm its true intentions with Demon King Yveam.

"Well... actually, I don't know much about that either."

Yveam looked down with regret.

"You don't know? You inherited the Devil King?

"I was told that the 'Core of the First Demon King' was placed in the [Shanjumon Cave]. And that meant no one would ever get it for life... how about marionette?

"Hmm? Me? Yes, Kruel and Akwinas are the only ones who know that the Nucleus is hidden there. And it was Your Majesty's mother, Vincent, who told me that."

"Mother? I see....."

It seems to have been lightly shocked by Marione's unexpected words.

"But they didn't ask who stored it in a place like that for what."

The moment Lillin thought there was no clue,

"Well, if you're here, maybe you can say so."

Suddenly Akwinus opens his mouth, but everyone sees the meaning of his words and actions.

"A, Akwinus... do you know?

He nods small to Yveam's question.

"Oh, of course."

Of course...? Lillin stares at him with a suspicious look. And then I cut myself off with the words he said.

"Because I was the only one who kept the Nucleus there..."

Silence is wrapped up as if time were frozen. Only someone's breath came into Lily's ear. I have to say something, but suddenly I get confused.

That should be it. Because it was my brother who said something incredible...

"Well, well, what do you mean?

It was Yveam who broke the silence first. She is surprised, too. Her tone has changed.

"Yes, Akwinus! You didn't tell me that either! What the hell is going on?

Marione hits Aquinas with her angry voice. Perhaps he is angry with himself, a comrade, for hiding it from a strange demon king.

"Because... that was her wish."

"... but... yes?

At last, Lily squeezed her voice. Akwinas stared into Lillin's eyes, and Lillin caught a little shaking behind her eyes.

"... oh, you may not know, but there was a mountain where [Shanjumon] used to be."

"Mountain? Really?

Yveam leans his neck to ask if he didn't know, but Akwinas agrees.

"Oh, it was called [Mount Shanjumon]."

"I mean, is this the remnant of Shanjumon Cave?

"Yes, and there lived a creature in that mountain."

"Biology...?

"The creature was Adams' first friend... and the first life he took with his hands."

Everyone's stiffened up like a goose. But there was no reaction to it, and Akwinus continued.

"Adams has just let his powerful magic run wild, causing him to cast magic on his friends."

"Ah, magic... rumored" fantasy magic "?

Yveam also said that he knew the name, and Akwinus shook his head small and vertically to confirm.

"Ah, there was nothing Adams could do about the runaway magic. Friends went insane and burst out as if they were afraid of something. The riot was enough to crumble the mountain."

So now the mountains are gone and formed like caves as remnants. The monsters who live there probably do that.

"Whatever you say doesn't stop you from getting mad. But it didn't last long either. Due to her magical strength, her friend was burdened not only with spirit but also with flesh, and... she lost her life."

"That's not true....."

It would be impossible for Yveam to murmur like that. It's natural to think of Adams, who killed his first friend on his own, even though he didn't mean it.

Other faces also frowned and seriously consolidated their expression.

"Then she suffered a lot. There was nothing she could do. It seems that the creature didn't tell much about itself or even the species. But Adams was still happy to play with his friend. So I blamed myself for killing my friend. And she decided to treat it as her friend's tombstone."

"Gravestone....."

I don't know what Yveam said, but he looked ill.

"That's why Adams wanted to die there when he realized his death. But before that, I decided to look around the world that my friend wanted to see one day. To meet in the Land of the Yellow Spring with a friend's dream."

Adams said he wanted to tell the world about the dreams that his friends could not fulfill because of themselves, and that when it was the afterlife, he would at least pay for it.

"It was a real coincidence that I met her. One day, I went to the border guard. I really wanted to see the ocean, so I acted with that emotion. That's where I found her... Adams lying on the beach."

I didn't know it was Adams at first. Her appearance was far from youthful, and she seemed to be like a fine doll with a broken thread of no power.

Guren's hair color, which was so beautiful that everyone could fall in love, also lost its strength and smoked. But it seemed to her that Akwinas appeared there.

She asked him to take her to a place where he was. Of course, Akwinus thought it was better to give him treatment first, but his Magic Eye cruelly told him that it was too late. Still, the more she returns to her country, the more joyful there are.

That said, Adams did nothing but shake his neck vertically. I only said that I wanted you to take me to [Shanjumon].

That's because I'm the last one...

Akwinus owed her a debt. She told me many interesting stories and gave me combat training.

Akwinas also respected such a woman as everyone would admit. So he made up his mind. Do what she wants.

The two of them came to [Shanjumon Cave] and had a conversation in the back of the cave for a while. That's where I heard about Adams' friend.

I don't know how much time has passed. Akwinas was just listening to what she had seen. No, she was telling someone who wasn't here, not Akwinus.

It would have been obvious if she had asked who she had traveled the world for. I was watching her quietly, moving her mouth with a vague expression.

But suddenly she coughs painfully. Then there was a light in her eyes that I had seen one day. I'm out of my mind.

And then she asked Akwinus to do it.

"I want this place to be my walrus grave mark."

Akwinas could not deny hearing her obsession here. She smiled calmly and certainly happily when she said that she would keep this place safe.

She closed her eyes quietly but never opened her eyes again after that.

As she stared at her remains, which were still smiling happily after a while, her body suddenly floated in the universe wrapped in light.

There was so much light that I couldn't open my eyes, and Akwinus was puzzled by what was happening. And the light vanished, and Akwinus, who saw the sight in front of him, lost his word.

There was an infinitely spread earth and countless spheres of blue and white light. It soon became clear that that was the power of her Nucleus.

And I wonder why this happened...

"She just wanted to protect the place. I entrusted the last magic to the Nucleus so that no one could get near it, and no one could break it."

To protect the two tomb markers that sleep in the future....
