Chapter 705 – [A Journey to the Demon World]
The [Vampire Garden] That I have to demolish in the territory of the Retpeshu clan is, as the name suggests, a delusion created by vampires when they die.
There are many delusions like this in the demon realm. From the beginning, it was said that people who die after a war naturally occurs, and among them, if a talented and strong person dies, there is a high probability of delusion.
Considering the wars and casualties that have occurred so far, it would not be strange to have more, but at least the remaining delusions are difficult and difficult to deal with.
“It’s a delusion that even a strong man can dry out in an hour once you enter. Think of it as the feeling of donating blood.”
“Originally, it was said to be a rich land, but it is said that it is a delusional land created by vampires of the opposing faction who died during the war to take over the land.”
“Hey, if we can’t solve this fundamental problem, it might happen again in 10,000 years.”
“…I can’t say that because the demons’ personalities are too much to say no.”
“Is it?”
The character of the demons is basically the strong-willed, strong-willed. Basically, if you have that mindset, even if I take care of it, you don’t know what will happen later.
In order to solve it, we need to solve the fundamental problem. It’s like a society where absolute kingship is established and a moderate demon king eats everything.
As a reference example, there is the Phantom World.
Hey, think about it. The absolute controls each civilization, but what kind of asshole is going against it?
If technology develops and goes to a dimensional civilization, knowledge about the absolute will also come into hand. Then, the more you feel, the more you feel how frightening the transcendent is and how distant the absolute is.
Cosmic Horror. Can you understand the feeling of an ant in a small jelly jar raised by humans? Honestly less than that.
“If you become the demon lord, Korma, it’s probably possible. If you become a transcendent, your lifespan will increase dramatically, so you should live at least 10,000 years.”
“It’s been ten thousand years… I can’t believe it.”
“So am I. I’ve been reincarnated for thousands of years. Maybe half a million years now?”
“Your Highness, don’t you still have a lot to live for?”
“That’s right. I can’t see the end of my reincarnation either.”
If there are two things I choose to die, one is Zion’s death and the other is the death of the greatest hero.
However, there is still no sign of the two signs, let alone come. This is because Shion has an infinite lifespan, the Absolute of Destiny protects the law of cause and effect, and the greatest hero leaves me room for rebirth.
No, there is room for regeneration for a murderer who kills people so well. This is shit
“I wonder if he’s the kind of terrible person who really takes pleasure in killing people. Isn’t he a very polite and gentle person?”
“Because you’re a demon, your basic senses are that way. I’m a human.”
It has always been and will be in the future. Throwing away humanity is scary in many ways.
The self-loathing and various anguish I have felt so far cease to be a big deal as soon as I abandon my humanity. Maybe there was a time like that, and I wouldn’t laugh at it.
I never want to. If that happens, everything you’ve lived up to now will fade. I can take one step forward, but I don’t think I can move forward after that.
Hmm, it’s a bit dull topic, so let’s talk about it.
“Suddenly, we arrive at the Lehfeshu clan’s territory. Umm… It smells like grapes.”
“Because it’s winter, the grapes must have been harvested for a long time. Can you smell the grapes?”
“If you have a sense of smell, I don’t think you harvested it completely.”
I guess it makes wine better than I imagined.
It doesn’t just smell like the vine, it smells like the grapes themselves. Not harvesting it means that you were trying to make noble wine or ice wine.
But maybe it’s because it’s a land where vampires live, and it’s often foggy, so it’s humid… Maybe it’s noble wine.
Huh? No you!!!! You can’t use it if you think it’s weird because you’re a noblewoman!!!!
The noble part spoken of here means that it has rotted preciously. It refers to the technique of making very sweet wine by concentrating the juice of grapes through fungi and making it into wine.
My wife likes sweets, so this is the type of wine she drinks often. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Hanon, my wife, I would have had diabetes long ago.
“I’ll have to bring some wine when I go back. I’ll drink it here and bring you some Zion.”
“It would be nice to take home as a souvenir.”
Unlike the Bores territory in the south, the Reppesh clan territory in the north… No, but in the flat land, is there any meaning in the south and north? Is it the difference in the direction of the sun?
Anyway, there are four seasons and there is a temperature difference depending on the location, so I guess it’s just that. If it wasn’t for that, my wife would have said ‘flat earth is a bad civilization!!!! Crush it!!!’
Arriving soon, we were welcomed by the head of the Retpeshu clan. Seeing that he wasn’t there before, I thought he would be here.
“Welcome, Your Highness, Third Prince. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Unlike the last time, when he was a bit ambiguous, he showed a sincere welcome to me.
Well, if I hadn’t changed my stance quickly, I wouldn’t have been targeted for the demolition of the delusion site for the second time. Even if it’s a friend from the past, public issues will be separate.
“First of all, we prepared a small welcome party, take a little rest and then slowly…”
“No, that’s all right. Let’s go straight to the land of delusion.”
“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to make the welcome party a celebratory party? Change people and events until dinner.”
It was a bit of an unreasonable request. Because it was a story that everything from cooking to things had to change when it changed from a simple welcome party to a celebration party.
But better than wasting it. It’s better to have one celebration party, even if it’s a bit strenuous, than having a welcome party, a celebration party, and two.
“I’ll be back by evening. Oh, vampires are naturally active at night, so wouldn’t that be better?”
“……Yes, that’s true, but.”
“Then I think that would be better.”
Vampires are creatures whose day and night are reversed. Sleep during the day and wake up at night.
A normal dinner party is nothing more than a party held in broad daylight for humans, but it is the opposite for vampires. It is a full-fledged party held at night.
So, if it is open at night, it would be better to leave it as it was for its original purpose. Besides, it saves time.
No, I’m delusional. I don’t know how much I have to demolish!!!! There are dozens of them, but I’ve only dealt with one so far!!!
Anyway, I went straight to the 【Vampire Garden】.
A vast land with borders that can only be noticed with a sense of sight comes into view.
“It’s not very noticeable from the outside, but it’s a place where blood is drawn when you enter. It’s not that easy to attack that place…”
“It’s easy”
It is the same as the [Garden of Twisted Time] In Garuna Highlands.
The environment itself is a difficult place without any other external factors. To be honest, such a place is easier to attack than other delusion lands.
Thanks to the force field, the effect over there doesn’t work, but I can go in and do whatever I want. To be honest, it is the easiest delusion among delusions.
“It’s good that there aren’t any monsters or anything like that.”
I’ve heard that there are monsters like the Kraken, but they don’t seem to be relatively inland.
There were very few of them, but at least not enough to live within the delusion. No, then why are there monsters? I’m not sure, but it’s not really necessary, is it?
I stumbled over and found a vampire’s corpse in the center of the delusion and burned it.
After all, vampires should be burned or staked through their hearts!!!
Of course, there are vampires who don’t die even with that, but in that case, you can just cut their throats.
“Are you done with this?”
The 【Vampire Garden】 has been processed as it is. With this, the delusions that plague this land no longer exist.
However, there was no piece of Sandman. It would have been difficult to come in and deal with it anyway. With this, I could see that it wasn’t that easy for Jantman to make the pieces.
There were hundreds of them during the White Church, but back then, the more the better.
I returned to the Lepesh clan territory again.
Just like the previous Bores estate, there were several vampires, including the head of the Reppesh clan, anxiously guarding. And when they saw me back, they cheered.
“How can delusion…”
“I’ve taken care of it. There’s nothing to be seen here from the outside, but if you go inside, you’ll understand.”
The delusion site has already been demolished. There was no need to get blood-sucked just by entering the range.
As a test, one of the courageous vampires entered the realm of delusion. But even if it took 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even an hour, he was safe.
“I-I really do!!!! The influence of the [Vampire Garden] Is nowhere else!!! Now, now…!!!! My father is going back to his hometown…! !!!!”
The vampire who entered as a test was thrilled and shed tears. It feels like seeing a separated family who went back to their hometown after being unified.
Yeah, that’s a good thing too
“I’ve done my job with this one.”
“I’ll throw a grand party in the evening. Maybe because it’s night, you won’t be able to sleep…”
“Sleep during the day. It would be better if we mostly slept during the day here.”
Second this one. It’s likely that the next time it’ll be even more annoying.
Because one can be dismissed as a coincidence, but the second is inevitable. There will be a lot more people sticking around than now without having to go a third time.
At this party, there will be people who come just for that… Hmm, anyway, let’s have some wine at this party.
Returning to the castle of Retpeshu, I took a break and soon received an invitation to a dinner party.
Of course, it was a dinner party, but for this side, it was no different from a grand party held in broad daylight. A party that lasts until midnight.
No, aren’t the vampires here too nocturnal for an unrestricted subject that can’t be active during the day?
“Worst von Frontier 3rd Prince, who is the light of the underworld, and his partner, Korma Rem, are entering!!!!”
The butler’s cry for me and Corma as we entered the party was not just a sense of duty, but a sincere heart. The Vampire Garden seems to have been quite a problem for the people here.
Upon entering, all the demons’ eyes were directed this way. Not only vampires, but also other demons stand out, and it seems that the Retpeshu clan is not the only vampire.
Well, that sounds natural. What do vampires live on? Do only vampires live? Is it homoeophagia?
“Welcome, 3rd Prince. We changed the original welcome party into a celebration party, so although there are some shortcomings, we have prepared it as splendidly as possible. Please enjoy the party.”
“I think that’s enough. Thank you so much for making this a place.”
The head of Le Peche also had a much brighter expression. It’s not that I’m interested in it, but it’s still pretty when a beauty smiles.
My wife’s expression of emotion is rare, so it’s rare to see her frowning, let alone smiling… Ah, I want to see Xion all of a sudden.
“Nice to meet you, 3rd Prince. I am Albert who serves the head of Reppesh…”
“Do you have any plans for the next delusion site to be demolished?”
“If you don’t have a plan yet, next time, another delusion in the north…”
The demons flocking here and there want to make friends with me or talk about demolition of the delusion site. In fact, it’s something to be expected.
I responded appropriately to their questions. If they do well, they will be able to support Korma in the future.
“Please ask the Demon King about the demolition of the delusion site. The Demon King is intervening because I am still obsessed with the circumstances of the Demon Realm.”
“But wouldn’t it be better to deal with it since you came to the north?”
“The Demon King will judge that as efficiently as possible and deliver it to me. Even in the same northern delusion, isn’t it rare that it is as urgent as the delusion in the territory of the Bores clan?”
“Um…”
Naturally. With a little bit of exaggeration, there was no way we could talk about the granary area that would feed half of the Pandemonium, and the delusion area in a rural village in the north.
That’s why the demon king sent me to the Bores territory first… Anyway, I skipped over the demolition of the delusion site.
“But how do you hear the news from the Demon King?”
“Ah, it’s thanks to my partner. Since I’m like that, I can receive news straight away from the demon king in the castle.”
“Oh, I see. But, by any chance…”
“Even as demons, we are in love.”
Haha! You’re a romantic.”
The advantage of Korma’s alter ego is that the information and experience gained by all egos is shared. It’s like an illusion clone from a ninja manga somewhere.
Maybe that’s why, if I put one alter ego in the demon castle, I can talk to the demon king in real time. It’s not that I don’t have a self-fantasy that I can get in touch with, but sometimes it’s better this way.
The most important thing is, of course, to get Korma’s face stamped. The meaning of conveying the words of the demon king also means being the closest aide.
While enjoying the party in moderation and drinking wine, I sneakily looked for the location of Dangju Retpeshu. By the way, I was drinking wine on the balcony over there.
Balcony……Wine……Kuh, head! All in all, it’s a little bit like two materials with a bad feeling overlap.
“Let’s get some fresh air.”
I got out of my seat and met the head of Le Peche on the balcony. It was because I wanted to find out if the facts I found out from the demon king were correct, and to see if there was any possibility of recovery between the two.
“Are you here?”
“……Ah, I’m sorry. On a fine day like today, I somehow want to drink wine while looking at the moon.”
“There may be times when you want to drink alone. I understand.”
I also sometimes drink alone without Zion, but what? That’s not all that bad
But she looked somehow lonely. Still, it’s not something I can’t understand. This is the loneliness of the person standing right above it. It’s a story that you can’t have anyone by your side because you can’t trust others.
The moon was floating in the sky she was looking at.
Devil’s moon. Not an ordinary satellite, but the moon that the demon told me to visit.
Looking at her looking at her moon, I felt something missing in her.
“Are you thinking of a friend?”
“……Why do you think so?”
“It’s because you feel lonely.”
Fuck it and talk about first love……. Ah, this isn’t it.
Anyway, I heard from the demon king that the two were friends, so let’s unravel some rumors. So how can I intervene?
“It’s just…… I just remembered the person I loved in the past. Now it’s just a past memory that only leaves scars.”
“……..Yes?”
No, the first love story was real?!
Uh? Wait a minute, the Demon King is now a woman?! Uh? Uh?
In my bewildered mind, the imaginary Zion was crossing both fingers like scissors.
No, you can’t use that gesture!
