Chapter 936 – Day 105 – Eternity’s Haven
“Get away from me…!!!”
Elaine was smashing the demons that were coming from all directions with her huge sword with her energetic spirit.
“More! More! More! Come more! Is this all you need? Aang?!”
The fight between Elaine, who was born into the royal family, and the demons was an obvious story.
Elaine was not only good at using weapons, but was also surprisingly capable of using magic to assist in fighting.
Hestia, who was quickly following behind, could not compare to Elaine and was a knight with superior strength, so destroying the ‘sanctuary’ protected by Beelzebub was easier than expected.
“The worst case scenario is that it doesn’t turn out well. I don’t think Miss Hedone needs to worry anymore.”
Hailey, who was sitting on the bridge watching the situation on the ground, finally let out a sigh of relief and wiped a large amount of sweat from his forehead.
“Is it really okay to relax? I feel strangely anxious constantly.”
“Because this is not a normal situation. I don’t think the anxiety is strange. But look here.”
Princess Hyli smiled and pointed to the device Ceres had installed.
There, a video was being displayed that contained the world that Elaine and Hestia were seeing.
Thanks to this, Hailey and Hedone were able to calmly observe from the bridge of the airship in the air what exactly was happening on the ground and what kind of fight was going on.
“How dare a demon…! I’ll fold that waist in half!”
Elaine, running wild with loud laughter, was no different from a fish in water.
Even when faced with one of the seven sisters called ‘Beel Zebub’, she swung her sword and threw her body without hesitation, like a moth leaping into a pit of fire.
“If it were a fight between Beelzebub and Elaine, who seemed to be using firearms, we could say that we were lucky enough to win.”
As he watched the video being output, Hailey smiled and looked at Hedone.
“It seems like I made a good decision to wear the armor prepared by Duke Diana and Arisa in advance.”
As Hyli said, Hedone was wearing a fancy dress, but underneath she was wearing reinforced armor made by Diana and Arisa, not her underwear.
It was an armor that boasted superhuman strength and durability even in the face of sudden demon attacks, so it could be said that he was thoroughly prepared to go down to the ground.
“If you go down to the sanctuary, you will be able to meet ordinary demons who are cooperating with Eternity.”
“In their language, they call them Nectar, not Demons.”
Hedone calmly nodded her head at Princess Haili’s words, but she could not easily shake off the anxiety that had risen dangerously in her heart.
“Elaine! Watch your back!”
“It’s nice that your eyes are quick, but Queen Hestia…!”
The fight on the ground was coming to an end with the good performances of Elaine and Hestia.
Beelzebub, whose breasts were bouncing enough to make the princess swallow her drool, was crushed beautifully by Elaine, who hit her without even taking out her firearm.
It seemed like he was targeting Hestia as a last resort, but because Hestia was wearing the reinforced armor made by Diana and Arisa, she was able to subdue Beelzebub without a single wound.
“You idiots!!! You’re wasting your time! Don’t you know that! This is why bugs on the ground can’t!”
“Yes, yes, if we talk too loudly, it will be difficult for us too. I will use the magic tool that Arisa gave us. Princess Hailey? Is it true that we are being properly informed of the situation here?”
Hestia spoke as she handcuffed Beelzebub, who was lying on the ground and shaking, and put a rune-engraved leash on him.
“Yes, I can see and hear well. Beelzebub will fall into a deep sleep thanks to the effect of the magic tool. It will be our Galagon warriors who will secure new recruits, so please secure a safe haven.”
“Elaine has already gone downstairs, so please check there first.”
As soon as he heard Hestia’s words, Haili exhaled heavily and wiggled his fingers.
“There is no way Elaine would murder ordinary, unarmed demons.”
“He may be a person who hates demons, but he is not someone who refuses the princess’s orders and kills them without permission.”
Hedone let out a deep breath and waved her finger at the maid who was standing next to her.
“Please tell Saint Grace that she has nothing to worry about. She said that no one was hurt so badly that the Saints’ Church came forward.”
“I understand. Hedone.”
After seeing the maid leave the bridge with her head down, Hedone stood up and approached the image that Hailey was looking at.
“The princess and Diana… Have all relayed ominous information to us, but fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any major problems with the sanctuary itself.”
“It seems like that. What’s blocking Elaine going down the stairs is… Ah, there’s a big door like that, but it’s nothing to the royal family.”
Hailey could barely bring her drink with floating ice to her mouth as she watched Elaine smash the large door with a single punch.
“With the efforts of Elaine and Queen Hestia, you can think that the sanctuary has been safely secured.”
“You make decisions faster than I thought.”
“There are no soldiers capable of fighting in the sanctuary. Even if there are, the security forces you two defeated are all there.”
In a sense, Hailey’s judgment was not hasty because it was a situation similar to opening the gates of a castle and entering.
There was a high possibility that there would be only the elderly, the sick, women, and the weak.
“Uh… What is this, where should I rub and say this?”
“No, Elaine. The audio and video are being transmitted properly to us.”
“Really? So you’re saying that the things I see with my eyes are also clearly visible there?”
Hedone responded to Elaine’s words with a snort.
“They say this is a sanctuary.”
“Yes, it is highly likely that Eternity’s soldiers who are fighting on the front lines and the families or acquaintances of the Seven Sisters are living there.”
Elaine didn’t respond to Hailey’s answer for a moment.
“I don’t think so.”
“You don’t think so?”
“It doesn’t even smell like people are living here.”
Elaine rubbed his eyes with the back of her hand.
The space she was standing in had a pure white floor and a pure white ceiling, as if she had entered through a huge door, but she couldn’t see anything right away.
“Another demonic facility overflowing with mystery has appeared before my eyes.”
Hestia, who caught up with Elaine late, looked around and said something.
“Don’t all demon buildings look like this? White ceiling, white floor.”
“That’s true, but wasn’t this a place where there were children, old people, and demons who couldn’t fight?”
Elaine frowned and slowly walked in front of her.
“But there’s nothing. I wouldn’t say it’s empty, but there’s just an ordinary-looking door made of steel. Look! It’s not even locked.”
Grunting, Elaine grabbed the doorknob and turned it. As she said, the door wasn’t even locked, so she was able to get in without having to break it down.
“We were beating up Beelzebub, but not a single scream came from inside…”
After opening her door and going inside, Elaine suddenly stopped speaking.
“What’s wrong? Elaine… Ah…”
Hestia followed behind her and fell silent at the sight that unfolded before her eyes.
“What is this?”
In front of Elaine, there was a huge space whose size could not be measured in numbers.
Seeing the ‘something’ filling this space, Elaine suddenly closed her grumbling mouth and without saying a word, she walked up to it and knelt down.
“I mean, unlike Venus, I don’t know much about the knowledge and wisdom of demons?”
What was placed in front of Elaine was a pitch black coffin. Because the lid was transparent, she was able to look inside, and when she looked inside, she could see a demon wearing a pitch black suit lying down.
“To be honest, it means you don’t know anything.”
After she has checked one coffin, Elaine gets up from her seat and checks the coffin right next to her.
She, whose face was completely different from the other demons, was sleeping wearing a pair of pitch black clothes.
Next to that, next to that, next to that, in the coffin that Hestia checked and in the coffin that she couldn’t check, demons were lying down and sleeping.
“But, even though I’m an idiot who knows nothing and can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth, I feel terrible when I look at this coffin. What’s going on here?”
“Didn’t you say it was a sanctuary?”
Hailey, who had been staring at the video blankly at Hestia’s words, urgently turned around.
“Asmodeus!! The information you gave was wrong!!”
Haley urgently grabbed the shoulder of Asmodeus, who was sitting in the corner of the bridge and eating bread, and forced him to stand up.
“W-What are you talking about? I, Asu, Mo, Deu, hope to receive some love from the god of the new era…”
Asmodeus, who had bread crumbs on his mouth, was about to complain loudly, but his eyes widened when he saw the image of Elaine and Hestia in front of him.
“Uh, where have you been? What are you doing? Didn’t you say you were going to a sanctuary?”
“Aang? What are you talking about? We have arrived at the proper resting place just as you told us.”
“Oh, no! That can’t be possible! Sanctuary is a prettier place than this. I have a wonderful home and a family waiting for me… Ugh! My head hurts…!”
Asmodeus looked embarrassed and touched his cheek and forehead with his palm.
“There is a resting place… And…”
“Asmodeus!”
Hedone quickly grabbed the shoulder of Asmodeus, who was panicking, and shook him.
“Diana called that coffin the ‘Coffin of Wishes.’ This information was obtained from the demonic writing that Uriel read, so it can’t be wrong!”
“Oh, uh…?”
“Tell me! What is the Wish Coffin? You told me that there is also a medicine that can make people sleep as if they were dead! The princess told me that seven sisters called Levia were dissecting the same demon, Nectar!”
In front of Hedone, who spewed out words like a rapid fire, Asmodeus looked at the image and Hedone’s face repeatedly and finally, really finally, opened his mouth.
“So, the wish coffin… It’s like a bed that allows me to dream the dreams I want. Humans on earth may not be able to understand.”
“You mean you can dream whatever dream you want?”
“Yes! That’s why it’s a wish coffin! We can dream that our wishes have come true! Because we, Nectar, have a dream of returning to the earth. A dream of seeing the real sun and facing real wind and rain! If we don’t return to the earth, we will live forever. A dream that can only be achieved in a dream!”
“Why are there so many nectars lying in such a device?”
Asmodeus lowered his head as soon as he heard Hedone’s question.
“I don’t know. Sanctuary is a place where those who follow Eternity’s noble mission can rest…”
Elaine clicks her tongue after not hearing the answer she wanted.
“Really? Then there’s only one way to know what this place is and what it’s like.”
“Hey, Elaine! You’re being unreasonable…”
─Kwasik!
“Wouldn’t it be okay to ask the guy sleeping in the coffin?”
Elaine boldly smashes the coffin lid, puts on a suit, and lifts the sleeping demon with both hands.
“Hey! Sleeping Beauty Ball…”
Elaine spoke with a smile, but the condition of the demon lifted from the coffin was strange.
“Uh, uhhh… Ah, uhm… Cook…!”
He suddenly started shaking and convulsing his whole body.
His entire body started to become dangerously hot, and he violently bounced his waist up and down while letting out hot breath as if he was having an orgasm.
At the end, he waved his hands and feet pitifully and stopped moving, spitting out blood from his nose and mouth.
“W-what is this? I didn’t do anything? All I did was lift it from the coffin.”
Embarrassed, Illien hurriedly returned the demon in her hand to the coffin, but there was no miracle of her demon being revived.
“This is really… If you aren’t the princess, I don’t think you can even guess what happened.”
A sanctuary for the weak who cannot participate in the fight.
Hedone could not help but feel ominous from the coffins of wishes that filled the place.
