76 – The Seven Monarchs’ Conference (6)

“This is a story about someone I know.”

Ariel smiled and opened her mouth.

I pricked up my ears and began to listen.

**

The Demon World tens of thousands of years ago.

At that time, the position of monarch did not exist.

The Demon World was ruled by seven demon tribes under a seven-power separation system.

“Don’t leave a single one alive! This will clearly show what kind of people we are!”

They were called the Seven Absolutes.

They have been fighting wars every day, all with the same grand dream of unifying the demon world.

In the process, countless demons died and were massacred repeatedly.

At a time when war is being waged so mercilessly.

“i envy you.”

The girl muttered in doubt as she looked at the dying soldiers beyond the crystal ball.

Some people died from having their hearts pierced straight away.

Some people have their limbs cut off by bizarre demons.

The girl’s eyes began to shine brightly at the splendid ‘blessing’.

“When will I be?”

The girl, who had been looking into the crystal ball for a long time, muttered softly.

The world was so fair.

Because no matter what kind of life they have lived in the past, all living beings can experience the peace of death without exception.

But the girl was an exception.

I have existed for an eternity, and I will continue to do so, without even knowing when I was born or how long I have lived.

Immortality.

A blessing that is not a blessing, that is, not growing old or dying.

The girl spent another day with a dead face under that terrible curse.

**

A thousand years have passed.

The girl looked at the tombstone with the name Devrix written on it under the gloomy sky.

“Devrix. I sincerely congratulate you on your death. I envy you. I wish you had taken me too.”

He was the only demon I had interacted with in the past few hundred years.

He persistently approached the girl who had tried not to form any more relationships with him.

The girl didn’t even shed a tear.

Rather, he just looked at the tombstone with a look of resentment.

“If this was going to happen, then why did you ask me to be your friend?”

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, she has already experienced the deaths of people close to her thousands, tens of thousands of times.

But no matter how much I go through.

Why on earth can’t I get used to it?

**

Several thousand years have passed since then.

The girl had been living a life completely isolated from the outside world.

I didn’t want to become intimate with someone and feel precious anymore.

So I killed all the demons I had raised.

I was left alone.

“I’m jealous. I wish I could have my throat cut off too.”

The girl is still staring blankly at the crystal ball.

The Demon World was still divided into seven powers.

The war is constantly raging.

**

Three thousand years have passed.

The girl is cutting her own throat with her pupils turned off.

However, as soon as the neck is cut off, it regenerates.

‘8652345333243’th suicide attempt.

The result was, as expected, a failure.

“I wish it had fallen from the sky. That would have been refreshing.”

The girl leaned against the wall with a dejected look on her face.

**

^&#?# years have passed.

The girl is banging her head against the wall.

When will this terrible suffering ever end?

When on earth will the peace of death come?

Even if I ask countless questions and try to find answers.

This terrible life never went away.

Because of this, the girl prayed every day.

Anyone is fine.

Please kill me.

I can’t stand it any longer.

However, that didn’t last long.

Because nothing has changed even after tens of thousands of years.

And so, another thousand years passed.

The girl was still looking at the crystal ball.

One thing that is different is that her previously dark and dull complexion has become brighter.

There was one reason why she changed like this.

enlightenment.

I suddenly realized something.

If you can’t kill yourself, why don’t you ask someone for help?

Of course, this is something that has been attempted countless times in the past.

This time the details were different.

If you have been asking for a favor from a tribe you know or are friendly with.

From now on, he will gather all the demons that fly and live in the demon world in one place and make them kill him.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

The girl reproached herself and hoped that this plan would definitely succeed.

In order to do that, the demon world, which was waging a cold war with each other due to the separation of powers, had to be unified.

That was nothing to a girl who had lived for eternity.

**

A war that had been going on for tens of thousands of years had ended.

What our ancestors had struggled and worked hard to achieve, the girl achieved in just a few hundred years.

“Serve the Great Monarch!”

“The only one who has unified the demon world!”

All the demons in the demon world knelt before the girl.

Even the demons who were once called the Absolute Seven began to obey him absolutely, receiving the title of monarch.

But there was a problem.

The thing is, those who were called the Absolute Seven were much weaker than the girl thought.

Even if they joined forces to attack, their bodies would regenerate in an instant.

Rather, the monarchs were so terrified that they lost their will to fight and did not dare to attack.

However, the girl did not give up.

If the Demon World didn’t work out, I was thinking of looking into other dimensions.

She gave orders to the monarchs.

To escape the barren demon world and find a place to build a new life.

With the words, “It is only for the safety of the Demon Clan.”

Hundreds of years later.

We have discovered the habitat where the human species lives.

Their dwelling place was not a barren land, and there were no demons.

So the girl immediately led the monarch and soldiers to war.

However, as expected of a race that grew up in a greenhouse, their fighting ability was extremely weak and feeble, except for a few.

Of course, even those few were only on par with other monarchs, so it was too much for them to kill him.

A few years later.

In the world, extraordinary people called warriors began to appear.

Unlike other humans, he swept away the demons with his powerful fighting power and reached the girl.

And so, fighting the warrior.

The girl was hurt for the first time in her life.

I still couldn’t forget it.

The pleasure of feeling bitter pain spread throughout your body along with the smell of blood.

The girl could be proud.

I feel happier and more thrilled now than at any time in my life.

Just get cut by the holy sword like this.

Eternal blessings, eternal rest are finally granted.

The girl thought so and decided not to give it her all, but to die to the warrior.

however.

“Kkuk—!”

When the girl came to her senses.

The warrior was lying on the ground, bleeding bright red.

I had no memory of what had just happened.

I just closed my eyes and opened them again.

The warrior is down, and he himself is alive.

“…Warrior?”

“Oh, Your Majesty… You are strong.”

The tears that had not formed in tens of thousands of years begin to form in the girl’s eyes.

Just once.

Just once, if only I could pierce his heart with that holy sword.

Knock knock.

A drop of water falls on the floor.

The warrior who was watching the scene frowned.

“Ugh- Tea, you are truly a disgusting woman. Overlord. In the meantime, you have massacred countless people. You have taken away their livelihoods… You are shedding such tears-”

The warrior was unable to continue speaking and ended his life.

He ran desperately towards the warrior who was left alone.

“… No, no. No. No, no. No. No, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No—!!”

Have you ever seen a spark of hope that you had been waiting for for eons go out right before your eyes?

The girl screamed and screamed in a voice full of anguish.

Although she had cried countless times in the past.

I have never been so sad and heartbroken as I am now.

When I was crying like that for a long time.

Suddenly, the girl’s eyes caught sight of the holy sword the warrior had used.

There was no hesitation.

She quickly placed her hand on the holy sword.

Phew!

My skin burned as if I was having a rejection reaction.

But it didn’t matter.

Could this possibly be the end of my life?

She thought about it and grabbed her sword.

“ah….”

There was no way it could happen.

Suddenly, the holy sword became blurry and then disappeared completely.

Having lost her last hope, she fell to her knees.

This time I couldn’t die either.

**

The girl sits in the office called the Overlord’s Castle, blankly staring at the sky.

Fortunately, even after the death of the first warrior, countless successors emerged.

However, there is a crucial moment where you can die by the Holy Sword every time.

When he came to, the warrior was dead. He had no memory of what he had done.

“… … .”

Because of this, the girl began to have many doubts about her own existence.

Could it be that someone is controlling his body?

Does this world revolve around you?

That’s right, no one was born immortal like him.

There must have been a reason in the world.

Why, of all people, did he get to live forever?

Why do I lose my memory only at the critical moment when I could die?

The girl chased unanswered questions every day.

And then a man appeared in front of that girl.

-I am the body that will become one of the seven monarchs.

He was a human being who gave me a strange feeling that I had never experienced before.
