Next Life

Epilogue "Ascension"

It took a lot of time for Rubens to learn about the backdrop of the war between the Demon Army and the Human Army.

Asteria deliberately blocked the information on the Eastern front and also tried to deprive the demons of the opportunity to know.

If it were just Rubens and Mergen, the batter would have disappeared, but it could have been avoided because of Gaelic.

He used the "Transform" on Rubens' orders and ran off to gather information inside Holdia, but it doesn't go very well.

No one knew what was going on in the East, even though it was supposed to be information gathered by the country's intelligence services.

(What the hell is this country...)

Gaelic couldn't hide his confusion.

A direct organization exists, whether in the country or in the king, and those individuals undertake to gather information together.

This is the one Gaelic knows about the way the human state is, but that doesn't work when it comes to Holdia.

(Sort of.)

Gaelic gave up on getting information from Holdia.

What matters is information, not where it is obtained.

I mean, it's enough from the other countries that are infiltrating Holdia.

That's what I decided, and it took me to locate the other country's interlocutors, but it wouldn't be very difficult if I tried to be gaelic with my perceptive abilities as a demon.

Find it lightly, stun it, and use the "Transform".

It's a terrible skill to capture figures, every habit, and even memories.

And I photograph my memories and I'm stunned.

No one has information about the East.

Apparently, there is intense obstruction from the Holdia side and the only way to get in touch with the country is to go home.

Seems to operate in a state of equivalence with no information from the home country.

Gehrick twisted his neck to make sure he wasn't disturbed sniffing around the country for it.

(Maybe you realize we're infiltrating...?

Horrible thoughts come to mind and strike them off immediately.

It is strange, for example, that there is no response whatsoever.

It can't be without Marius-like powers, such as ignoring the demons when they say they are infiltrating the country.

As Gaelic once did in Serraeno and elsewhere, the army and the Knights would be blood-eyed and searching.

(Is that and this the Queen's fault...?

Information about the kings of each country is in the brain.

Holdia's current king, Asteria, used to repeat words and deeds that only seemed crazy, with almost zero confidence from around her.

It suddenly devastated the authoritarian nobles, publicly proclaimed that it was all an act, and launched policies for the people one after the other, making them popular.

Although it seems that the reputation from other countries is the nearest worst.

(Fair enough. My job is to get information. Let's ask Master Rubens to think about it)

Gaelic abandons his thought and resumes his mission.

It was the Kingdom of Gallius that he chose.

At this time, if he was on his way to the king's capital, Holdias, a different future might have come.

Asteria expected Rubens and others to behave this time.

That's why we used a subpoena to gather information, and we didn't let anyone in the intelligence department know anything.

I let them pull everything out of the area where they were likely to fall within the scope of action of the demons, place the summoners instead, and keep avoiding encounters with the demons.

If the use of subpoenas as intelligence had been commonly prevalent, Gaelic would have noticed immediately as well.

But the Summoners are commonly used as a force of war, like Vester's Winged Dragon Corps, and it is about Asteria who possesses an intelligence-specific type.

That's why the demons overlooked it, and it goes without saying that Asteria was putting it in the calculations.

The damage suffered by the East of the continent in this war is enormous, and the massive zombie outbreak will need Marius' help because it is important to deal with it afterwards, and we have to stop the demon until he can come.

That's what Asteria thought, and this time she was trying to buy time.

Because of Rubens' discreet character, this time the method is haunting.

If you go outside Holdia the most, you can solve it, so if you think about the power of the demon, you should have three days.

(Is the showdown the Vayuta Forest?)

It is the seal of Decarabia, the Demon King, who once told Marius.

The couple dragons were also viewed by the elite of the Regular Army, plus the input of items developed by Isabella.

Gaelic brought information back to Rubens and the others a few days later as he grew pale.

"Hey, what...?

"Ma, I lost...? In such a short time?

Rubens is groaning and Mergen is making his eyes black and white too.

It was an immeasurable shock.

Defeat itself is not as painful.

Because I considered the possibility and handed it out with the intent of positive motion.

But it is an outrageous miscalculation that they will be wiped out before they revive Decarabia.

He said he had Gastark organize millions of undead soldiers, put on Alberto and Franklin, senior demons, and let the three countries invade on a massive scale at the same time.

"Duh, where did you go crazy...?

Rubens thinks desperately.

His ambition is at stake as it is.

The sorrow of reviving the evil gods Tindalos and the demon kings, ending the world of men, and the coming of a time when demons rule.

I didn't mean to insult a man named Marius.

But if the idea of "five demons to buy time" is to insult Marius already.

"Me, Melinda Guilford......!

He once accidentally uttered the name of one monster who ended the age of demons and brought about the age of men.

Does that mean that nightmare has come back to life again?

What a lot of bad luck the humans are.

At a time when the evil god Tindalos was about to be resurrected, there appeared to be a presence to stop it.

Is this the "fate" or "fate" that humans prefer?

(That can't be!

It is true that the demons are in an overall unfavourable situation, but the demon kings, who are hope, should still be sleeping on each continent.

If there is indeed a time when demons will perish, why have there been more than one demon king who has not been destroyed before?

"Dear Rubens,"

If I noticed, Gaelic and Mergen were looking at this one.

Rubens is obliged to lead them as a superior.

"Unfortunately... Dear Tindalos, shouldn't it be taken for the ritual of resurrection?

Mergen made a terrible point, but Rubens doesn't nod.

"I can't do that. We need a demon king to succeed in the ritual of resurrection."

Although they were surprised by the words, they were somewhere convinced.

We finally know why Tindalos shouldn't have come first, why he was trying to revive the Demon King until he strengthened his power.

"As planned. Going to the Vayuta Forest"

"Ha."

With Rubens showing the usual attitude, Gaelic seemed calm.

Mergen can't read his expression about what he's thinking, but he follows Gaelic.

Truth is, Rubens may not be cornered as much as the two people behind him or the humans think.

It is certainly not easy to revive Tindalos, but the conditions under which revival will not be possible are also difficult.

Is there such a thing as God around there?

Forneus, Levito, Eligor...... no one is just comparable to Aulanis, but the demon king of the same size as Zagan should be sleeping on other continents, and if they are resurrected, he will be a dwarf such as Marius.

"No, wait."

Rubens stops his leg.

A cautious part of me followed a warning to prepare in case.

"Just in case, Mergen. You go to Balshark. Get ready for an example operation."

"Ha..."

Mergen rounded his eyes to a sudden change of order, but immediately moved with a nod "teleport".

As a matter of fact, it won't take hundreds of years just to get the heads of the demon men together and determine the seal of the demon king.

It took more certainty, so we cut the power of the human state little by little, and we also worked to inaugurate an organization that seems to be available to human society when things happen.

Though many demons seemed to think they were simply rampant instead of stressful.

Marius should be able to use "Teleport," too, and maybe some other metastatic magic.

The fear of being prevented from reviving Decarabia is quite high if we do so.

Then I realized I should have a way to prepare for it and rejuvenate it without me.

I would have noticed sooner if it was the usual Rubens.

The results of the east were taking away ordinary hearts.
