The Sended's

Chapter 87: Ah, These Brave Souls...

.

"Hello? You may not know me so let me introduce myself, my name is Rune from Ruby. I wonder how the Devils, that nearly extinct race suddenly appeared into the human realm,"

"I-I don't know what you're saying,"

Trying strong?

"You know a guy named Gressila?"

"Gre-is? How did you know that name?!"

Ohohs? So he knew the name

"You're not in a position to ask, so answer my previous question,"

He was reluctant to speak, but it did not seem like it would continue

"I... Don't know..." Not the answer I wanted

I stretched the wind rope that choked him

"*-*-*-wait! I really don't know about that! K-We suddenly lost the ability to control our bodies and walked here! That's all I know!"

Hm... That doesn't answer my question completely, but yes, I want to ask you something else

I took away the wind magic, made it fall back on the ground

He coughed at the loud chuckle, but I don't think it's going to be a bad thing going forward

The devil again huh...? If you look again they are very different from those in my shadow, my shadow is the devil is horned goat, tall, bad-faced, pointy-toothed, and unsightly things anyway

They are humanoid like Elves, Dwarves, and humans. Their pointed but not long ears like Elves, pointed vertical pupils, and longer canine teeth than humans in general are what sets us apart

"Where did you hear that name?" Ask him again

"Hmm?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid! No race remembers that name except us Devils, the butcher of Gressila..."

Was the butcher...? I heard myself if Gressila has a very bad reputation even to be dubbed the enemy of her own race, but apparently the trauma is still channeled to their current generation

"I'll answer all your questions, but first you have to answer all my questions honestly,"

"I told you I don't know how we-"

"Yes you've already answered that one, after all it seems I'm also beginning to understand why you're being controlled,"

I grabbed a strange magic tool that I've definitely never seen before, it looks like.... A storage device in which there is a wooden sculpture in the form of a humanoid creature

Could this be a curse or something? But I myself thought that this statue was some kind of human-controlling magic tool, similar to the one that controlled Shin Shaozu back then

Is it all related?

"Now answer my other question, does the Demon race really live underground like this? Where did you go after the destruction of your race?"

Again he was reluctant to tell stories, even to bite his own lips because he was worried

"We-"

Huh uh? She was kind of shocked by something like being electrocuted, then I could see in her eyes a red magic circle that was probably the reason behind it

So I canceled it with abortive magic, and unfortunately for some reason the mana used seems to be quite a lot....

"Eh?" After he regained consciousness he was confused

"What's going on? I should.." hmm? Oh? So he knew if he opened his mouth it would sting like that?

"I removed the barrier, now you are free to say anything,"

"H-Huh?! Did you really remove the curse of the Devil?"

"Yes... Da? Why why?"

"It was a hereditary curse that the supreme Seraphim King had cast on us in the past, it continued to exist up to my generation because not a single Devil who survived could destroy it... That means.." yeah...

"On Gressila just now... How do you know that name?!" I think he connected it there so I'll just answer

"I killed him, in the forest north of Fuzhou, on his own grave" I replied

Hearing that her eyes widened and I could clearly see her thin vertical pupils in this darkness, her mouth gaping and of course her pointy canine teeth were also visible

"K-K-You...?"

.

On that battlefield, crows were the creatures that dominated the field

Because those who lived had already left, headed straight for the heart of Ming which was at once the last city they could defend

Yep... Ruby won again even without Ryuu, but the casualties were certainly more

Ah... Those poor souls...

The writers who passed the road said that the road looked like a view from hell, let alone the sun that sank by leaving the red sky like reflecting the place itself

I don't doubt that expression... The scene was really bad because the gathering team and the identity examiner had not reached it yet, all the bodies were left alone.

While here in front of the Chengdu city walls we begin the siege for the umpteenth time, if all goes well then we will fly the Ruby flag over the palace of King Ming in two weeks

I wish it could be faster...

.

The demons that survived the destruction migrated here and there only to find them rejected by everyone, well.... They are enemies of all races... Who wants to let them be neighbors...?

Because of that, the Devils went to the Eastern Continent, which was still empty because of its conditions completely destroyed by the great war, they dug a hole into the stomach of Kelfia and built civilization there

"I was the 13th generation after the destruction, I knew very little about our past successes, but the story of the slaughter of Gressila is still told to us,"

Y-Well how else, right? He is the only Devil who opens up rebellion against his own people, it is only natural that he is judged badly by his race

"Uhm.... Uh...? As, can you wake up?" A Devil girl is rising

Then not long after dozens of other Devils woke up from their fainting but this time they were not controlled

"What has happened...? Why would I do that?"

"Now the world will realize that we still exist! We'll be annihilated soon!"

"Eh?!"

Panic arose between them, how not? They had been hiding not to be destroyed by the other races, now they even came to the surface with a roar like that...

"Everyone please calm down!" Said the Devil boy

I said that boy just because he was younger than me, he was actually a teenager the same age as Yuuna

"First we have to get together with our other colleagues and discuss this, there is no point in fussing and panicking here" he continued

"As.... Who's the girl behind you?" Ask the Devil girl

"Ah, he is a... Ummmmm.... Honestly I've never seen your race, what 'man' you said before is the name of a race?" Eh?

"That's right, my name is Rune of Ruby, I am a human being,"

"Man?"

"I've never heard of it,"

Really am.... Are they so isolated that they do not know what is above them...?

"Just your race has not been heard from again for thousands of years and now the surface area is ours humans, that means you have to pay taxes."

Hearing this who isn't upset? They all immediately changed the mood from the one that was panicking to the one that was angry with me

"Hey! Who do you think you are?!"

"We haven't even heard of a human being, you're just a lower race than us!"

"How dare you withdraw taxes so casually?!"

"We've lived here longer than your history!"

Huh.... Whether we want it longer or not, as long as we are stronger, it is useless... What do they think is colonialism? Ah, they don't know that yet?

"Please calm down!"

The demon boy stood in front of me to defend me

"He was the one who raised me faster than all of you, he also managed to break the curse of the hereditary Demon race!"

"Huh?"

"You're serious, As?!"

That's not very amazing.... No. gabe.... I think it's amazing...

After I checked again, it turned out that the mana in my body was only less than a quarter left. Damn Seraphim Magic...

"If that were true then he was stronger than the elders during these 13 generations?!"

Their views as I expected turned to fear

"Look, I don't have the habit of killing Devils, but as I said before if you want to continue living here then pay taxes,"

"Ughs... But with what we have to pay...."

"We don't have gold..."

"We can discuss it with the economy minister of Ruby, and with you being a resident of Ruby your rights will be guaranteed and protected under the law, including external threats" I explained

"Ugh..."

"Hmmm..."

"We can't decide here, we have to take him to see the elder" As said

This hole had looked like it was made with a kind of large laser magic because the shape of the circle is very neat, but the more it goes into the shape of the wall of the hole began to turn more natural

It began to look like a cave that was very old.

Here also began to be a source of lighting from moss that emit blue light, not only that, there are still many plants that live in this land that I have never seen in the surface world.

I walked with As and about 17 other Devils, turning, rising, descending, passing underground rivers, underground waterfalls, and so on, a road made of ancient stone and a bridge of wood that looks fragile

From this bridge As points down, showing me how beautiful civilization is in the bowels of the earth.

It seems.... This time the theory that says that the bowels of the earth is true...

I can see a large area that is always night because the lighting is very limited, has a civilization even though it is only a large size village

But who could have thought this?

"We have reached our village" said As

"Thousands of years have passed, so this is where you have been, it deserves not to be discovered until now,"

How not? The unwritten ancient law says that attacking humans is the last thing they can do, they still assume that we reset the magic....

And because these devils live under our territory....
