Divergent Overdo ⑤

On the way to the banquet table, they said they wanted to talk confidentially, and the Demon King and Lisa moved into a separate room with their elders.

To avoid accidental exposure to sunlight in your daily life, the number of windows in the hall is considerably smaller than the size, and if you're not used to it, you're likely to feel a little oppressed. You think there are just as many windowless houses in this village?

As far as I can remember, the elders say they are over 800 years old already, but unlike other villagers, they are just pureblooded vampires, to the extent that the appearance age may be twenty by human standards. It has such a beautiful appearance that Angelica would be like this in years to come.

However, contrary to his youthful appearance, his waist was calm and he had an old lady-like atmosphere.

There are vampires in the demonic world, and it's not so uncommon for people about eight hundred years of age to have the impression that they're mentally old compared to those people.

Not only did he live long, but he was such a person that he kept watching countless lives and deaths of people close to him, but therefore his mind, not his flesh, grew tired and old.

The elders first thanked the Demon King and Lisa for keeping up with the story, then made one favor.

"It would be strange if we just met and asked you to do this, but could you please not kill the eagle?

The elder's hope was to be killed by either the Demon King or Lisa.

"May I ask why?

Lisa didn't spin words out of the blue about the sudden expansion, but the Demon King asked what she would be wondering too.

The elder answers concisely, whether it is not something to hide in particular either.

"You know, back in the day, I want to liquidate the rest of my heart."

Instead, five hundred years ago, one female vampire came to this world as part of the Demon King's Army at the time of its invasion of the human world.

Being a powerful category as well as a demon, she was no match for being a bunch of human soldiers in line, etc., and continued to fight well… but not until on the way.

When I began to feel that it was only a matter of time before I destroyed several countries and burned down countless cities… and if it remained so, the control of the entire human world. Yes, he's a brave man.

That brave man, who was a predecessor to Lisa, instantly stumbled through a number of demonic tribes, and the humans who were at a disadvantage also breathed back.

The rest of the flow is as told in history.

The righteous brave have defeated the evil demons, and at the end of the day defeated the pro-jade demon king, and peace has returned to the human world. Congratulations, congratulations.

... and the demons, who lost the means of return due to the fall of the Demon King and were left behind by the human world, it met with misery.

"Well, if you're a weasel, you deserve that, too."

Former elders say only one escaped when the brave man was imminent to this day. He said that he had killed scattered human beings, but abandoned his companions to spare his life, becoming himself targeted by both humans and demons as a deserter.

Fugitive soldiers are, without exception, extremely sentenced in the Demon King's Army at the time.

Without being able to return to the demonic realm, the demon king was debated while he was wandering around in the mountain fields of the human realm and completely lost his technique of return, and in the months since, he had managed to connect his life with a life equal to that of a beast in the field.

The day lasted for weeks, wandering in the back of the mountain and sipping muddy water, eating tree skins and bugs to sweep away the hunger, and not sleeping at noon (...) nor at Locke.

Ultimately, I rolled into this old village pretending to be human, and it was accepted even when I revealed that I was a demon, but I guess that was just a miracle.

"After that, I've lived happily ever after with my family... but after hundreds of years, regret doesn't go away."

The sin of fearing the brave, abandoning his companions and fleeing.

And the sin of killing countless human beings.

I didn't think of human life and other dust and mustard alike during the war, but as I lived with humans in this village, I also came to know how guilty I had been.

When her husband was still alive, he also thought of committing suicide in the hope of redemption.

But my son Bram was still young at the time, and I couldn't help but leave my old husband and son to die. It will be easier if you die, but your precious son will be left alone as a foreign object in this world.

To troubled her, now her late husband told her.

Suicide only paints you with sin. Live, then, the eternal hour in agony of sin, and do more good than sin committed.

Since then, I have lived with endless troubles, but not just self-harm, no matter how painful.

"But... I'm tired already"

Pureblooded vampires have a particularly long life span among demons.

No, I'm not sure exactly if something called life expectancy exists either. Vampires and external factors can kill you, but I never even heard of your elders when they were in the demonic realm, such as stories of your countrymen dying of old age.

I'm sure she will continue to live as a young woman.

And I guess I have to keep watching my own blood-drawing children get old and die first. We don't even know if that will last for hundreds or possibly thousands more years.

That is why the elders felt like heaven had given this visit of the Demon King and the Brave the opportunity to be judged correctly over five hundred years.

That's why it had to be either the Demon King or the Brave One, or one of them. To fulfill the regrets of 500 years ago correctly.

"I was wondering if you could send him to my husband."

The old vampire once again conveyed his wishes to the Demon King and Lisa with a thin grin that seemed lonely.
