Chapter 571
In a way, it may have been natural.
I thought they would unite as one because it was a battle between the demons and the humans, but right now there are only two countries that treat the long war that Etisel has prevented as their own business.
After seeing the guy I caught this time, I was convinced. Of course, I was convinced that all the things I had met so far were just excessive loyalty to the demon king.
Fortunately, I was not alone in missing this blind spot.
“I honestly never thought there would be people with such an idea.”
Even Emmit, who I was listening to right now, is muttering earnestly with a serious face on his face covering his mouth. If there’s a difference between me and me, it’s that I’m on the verge of rolling my eyes, and he’s continuing his cool-headed analysis.
“It’s said that it’s normal for there to be a gap that arises from the difference in perception between the afterlife god and the born god, but it’s absurd that it manifests in this form.”
“What’s the point of this form, Mr. Emmet?”
Even Carl Kansi, one of the beastmen who considers himself a descendant of Cerro Lipiti, did not have the frightening idea of bringing down Cerro Lipiti and usurping his position, so he was looking at the demon lord army more like an insect than I or Emmit. As if he didn’t even want to have a relationship, he quietly spread the distance and asked Emmet a question, and he calmly explained it after choosing his words for a while.
“Why is a demon god a demon? He is a demon because he is the god of the demons and only for the demons. Humans have a climate in which gods are regarded as the realm of guardian gods, so while living in the demons’ spirit, you casually believe in demons, but you are a beast who believes in demons throughout your life. Have you seen any other races like Ina, Lizardmen, or Fulllings?”
“……Nothing at all.”
To put it a little disrespectfully, the various tribes of the continent are just cooking and serving the gods that suit their tastes among the many gods.
The most representative example is the human race, as Emmet said. Right now, if it’s just Ethiel, isn’t the pantheon the basic premise? It’s an empire, because the founding myth and the Ete of Light are so closely intertwined, that’s why the power of that church is so great, and it’s not like they don’t allow other religions at all.
The same goes for races such as elves and dwarves. Because the direction is so consistent, each tribe only worships the same god, but among them, there are definitely people with different religions. There may be beastmen who love nature so much that they serve Asha, the guardian of the World Tree, there may be elves who prefer flame and anvil bazcals, and there may be dwarves who love hunting and serve Cerro Lipiti.
And that’s right. Because they don’t have tribal gods.
However, as Emmett said, Epaga, the post-heaven god, is definitely the god of the ‘demons’.
“The existence of a tribal god, or even an acquired tribal god, has a strong meaning of bearing business. Religion is not an area of specialization, so I will listen to the saintess properly later. I mean, it’s having a huge impact.”
Emmett’s last words were the biggest thing that angered me.
It’s not all that you can’t see it, and that protection doesn’t touch your skin. If the gods of this world have such an insignificant presence, it must be seen that there must be a reason for them to be so.
However, I have no interest in that fact, but anyway, since we were demons in the past, and we are also demons, as if changing the village representative, it is right to change if it does not help.
[Me, me! You ignorant bastard who doesn’t even know the favor he’s receiving!]
Look, even now, a bad Eldmia and an even worse Eldmia appear in front of you and whisper to make the head of that ungodly bastard concave…
No. It was Este. I suddenly wake up.
“…Since ancient times, it has been said that ignorance is not a sin. It is even a false idea based on wrong knowledge, so this person only needs to improve his awareness with the help of the church in the future.”
“…That, customer? Are you really upset? Your tone has become strange.”
I was really upset, but I was able to come to my senses because Este was making a lot of noise.
“Knowledge is originally biased. According to this friend, it also means that there are many demons attached to the Demon King’s Army with this perception, so this time I think it’s right to be happy that we found a clue to dig into that gap. ”
“Uh… I don’t know what it is, but thank you. I must have made a mistake.”
The demon king, scratching the back of his head and lowering his head as if he really didn’t know, looked dumbfounded. It seems that he is a guy who has lived a life where his body is smart and his brain doesn’t have to suffer.
As soon as I saw that attitude, I quickly changed the subject because I thought it would be difficult to control my anger if the same topic was repeated over and over again despite the fact that I said that I would capture it and give it to the church for spiritual education.
“That’s okay, you guys said you came all the way here following the trail of the monsters we caught and killed, right? Let’s hear the reason.”
“Ah, that’s exactly what the hero said when he faced us.”
It was the most important thing right now, so I asked straight away, but unfortunately, the response this time back was not very clear.
“…There were two of them. Are you talking about the resurrection of the undead monsters or the management of monsters in the demon lord’s army?”
I just made a mistake and almost split the top of my head, so I asked him one more time, thinking that it could be so, but he tilted his head and responded that he didn’t understand.
At the same time, I understood what was being said, even though its muzzle wasn’t open.
“I was saying that both of them are correct.”
Somewhere,
drop. At the same time as I felt that I heard something cut, the ax that was hanging from the saddle of my car flew into my hand.
It was Emmet’s magic that stopped me from almost simultaneously jumping up and swinging an ax at him.
“Karl Kansi! Stop it! Stop Eldmia! That’s the truth now!!”
My feet, thighs, waist, and elbows do not move. By the time I realized that it was a bondage magic, Carl Kanshi had already rushed in with all his might and blocked the way between me and the Demon King’s army.
“Cow, customer! Be patient! Be patient!!”
It was almost simultaneously that Emmet’s magic and Carl Kansi’s physical charge restrained my actions. However, I couldn’t stand it and did my best to swing the ax at the crown of the demon king’s head.
“Hey’s chew!”
It was the first time I realized that the binding magic that was applied without any preparation was not easily broken even with the strength of the mana, but it did not even come to mind.
I could have blown a needle, but I didn’t. All I needed now was to split that bastard’s skull open with my own hands.
“It wasn’t enough to bring the corpse of a dead evil god pup and throw the undead on the monster, and what? God doesn’t do anything, so isn’t it right to change it?! Is the way you chose to eat together with the pup monsters? What kind of wild animals are those pups? I manage to manage them.” If you were a baby to be, why are you an adventurer?!
“Guest!
Is it really so? Couldn’t the truth be that he’s just an asshole who’s fucking his head in order to survive? I wanted to open the skull right away and check it out, but because the two people were so aggressive, I couldn’t dare to shake it off even if a thousand fires boiled inside.
In fact, if he had escaped from the camp and even ran away, I would have killed him right away, but there were times when I lost steam because I didn’t try to increase the distance beyond a certain amount even though I was sweating coldly.
“Whoa… Fuck, I see all kinds of babies in real life.”
Nervously stabbing the ax on the floor and sitting down again, the demon king sneakily noticed and returned to his place again. At least, it seems that his anger has softened a little as he continues to show a cooperative attitude.
“Means and Methods.”
“Yes?… Ah! Monsters with intelligence can talk at all! In the case of monsters with a little less intelligence, a wizard accompanies them, and in the case of undead, a nearby lich…
” Did you say Rich?’
“Yes, yes!”
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
It’s very spectacle.
It’s spectacle. Are you a demilich or a lich?”
“Well, that’s fine…”
In this world, necromancy and black magic are far from common areas. It is only a case of an archmage who follows evil spirits or has great skills and tries to become immortal on his own, remaining attached to life before death.. However, most wizards with such attachments have gone crazy with magic research, so they are not related to the secular world
. It’s common that there’s no kinship. So, since the lich he’s talking about transforms even monsters into undead, it’s clear that he’s related to a demon or evil spirit. That means, “Where’s that
bastard
? ”
It meant no, a baby bug that shouldn’t exist in this world.
