My feelings really felt dregs.
What has been making my heart anxious seems to be proven true.
The VI, the evil organization that carried the same emblem as my former kingdom a thousand years ago that I had been looking for was apparently really the people of my former kingdom.
What I don't know much more is that my most beloved sister, the one who came from my memory a thousand years ago, was apparently also part of that crime organization.
“Why did everything become a tragedy?”
Unknowingly, tears fell down my cheeks.
After I thought I had matured enough after living this thousand years of life, apparently I was still a whiny boy.
“Oi, are you shaking now, boy, after knowing soon you're going to die, huh?!”
Eve killed a powerful Lone piercing all over my skin.
But that's not what makes my heart hurt.
The fact that the killers of my best friends were apparently precious people from my past memories was far more painful than anything.
My relationship with Arno was only for a short time.
We haven't even been together for three years.
That boy must die for choosing to save me, replacing me with himself to be swallowed up in the dark of the abyss.
Until now I still don't understand his decision.
Why is there someone who can be born with an attitude of altruism as bad as himself who is even willing to sacrifice his own life just to save a friend who has not known even for three years.
But one thing is certain.
Arno is not a bad friend.
No, he's my best friend.
Beyond my memories of a thousand years, Arno is my best friend.
But why should my best friend be killed in vain?!
And it was done by the family of the past that I loved so much!
Will dying at the hands of the family of the past that I love so much be my best penance for all the wrongs I have done to Arno?
“Heh.”
“Hah, boy, did you just smile?! You underestimated me apparently! All right, I'll end your worthless life soon. I'll rip apart every part of your stomach and twist your intestines out to become part of the fertilizer of the tree monsters in this dungeon!”
I'mtired.
I have survived for a thousand years in the darkness of the dungeon with one hope that one day I can avenge the pain of my heart to all mankind that has torn down my castle.
But what is hate really?
Among the human race, there are also benevolent people such as Arno, Arcia, Kak Dahlia, Lisanna, Julian, Abel, Jeremy Rudd, Otto, Alvin Hermes, Dillya Toxice, Rohana Macbell, Rutiliana, among others, Vivian's sister, Kina's sister, Grandma Litana, Professor Fritz, and maybe even more out there if I'm given more time to get to know the human race.
I cannot deny that it is warm, my existence mingles with this human race.
Ah, unknowingly, all my anger was thrown away by a boy named Arnoria Rosechild.
It would be better if the evil organization were part of a human being that would show me once again the dark side of humanity.
But who would have thought, it was the opposite.
They are like me who is still unfettered from the memory of the glory of our race a thousand years ago.
I could feel the wind flow so strong, a sign of Lone's attack getting closer to me.
- Prak.
“Oi, boy, you avoided it apparently. It would be better for you when if exposed to a crushing attack that alone so you do not need to feel pain worse.”
Do I have to give up on this place?
Of course the answer is no!
Arnoria Rosechild has chosen to sacrifice herself to save someone who appears to have a close family relationship with the cause of her death.
I will never waste his sacrifice.
At least, with the life he saved, I want to see until the end of the path I took.
Now I understand how I feel.
My long-standing grudge against mankind is gone.
No, from the beginning it wasn't the destruction of humanity that I wanted.
I just want to be accepted as a part of their lives.
All I want is interracial peace without the slightest prejudice.
That's why I have to stop Lone and the other members of Sunda Castle in this place.
So, what Lone might have said earlier about me being the prince of useless trash to Sunda Castle is true.
But what's with all that?!
The success of Sunda Castle with the destruction of mankind will not give light to hope for the future of anyone.
In order to realize a bright future, the two races must coexist side by side in order to forget all the grudges that have occurred.
At that time I realized that the life I had built for three more years in the human world as Viar and Arno was so precious and I no longer wanted it taken from me.
I know that what the people around me love right now is not the real me.
So why?
I just have to make everything come true, not only for myself, but also for the sake of Arno who has passed this body on to me.
- Prak.
Once again I dodged the nimble attack from Lone that came so quickly, thanks to the combination of the ‘stealth’ Viar skill and the support of my familiar shadow skill Anto.
But I know it won't last long since I've had a hard time with Kak Kina on my lap.
“Dik Arno, just let go of me. Save yourself.”
Sister Kina with breath panting in her dying state was still trying to warn me.
But do I have to run away alone again?
Just like I ran away from my father and brother being slaughtered by those vampire hunters?
Or just as my helplessness saw Arno being swallowed by the abyss?
That's not gonna happen again!
I'm tired of running away!
Even the power that I had accumulated for a thousand years while in the dungeon as the boss of the dungeon monster was now in vain regarding the System locking all my abilities.
But that's no reason to give up!
I will no longer abandon my precious people!
“Take it easy, Sister Kina. Leave the one here to me. Brother should rest.”
Unfortunately, my confidence was not accompanied by a qualified ability.
I just gave a blank greeting to Kak Kina
Immediately I slipped and Lone's claws would precisely point to my chest.
But a miracle happened.
-trange.
“Hey, Jeanne, what you just did damn it!”
I don't know what happened either, but the foreign woman who had been next to Lone all this time whom I knew as Brother Jenny had just fended off the Lone's attack so it failed to hit me.
Did he just protect me?
Is the charm on Arno's face so powerful as to even be able to hypnotize the enemy to betray his partner?
I don't know what's going on, but clearly this is an opportunity for me to immediately escape from this place as long as the enemies are fighting each other.
