Chapter 479

Lucinil was walking quietly near Port Mokna at night.

Archdemon.

A new world created by the demon king Bali.

A landscape where humans and demons live together.

Lucinil didn't think such a thing was possible.

She believed that the long-standing hatred between demons and humans could not be resolved.

However, survival is an absolute problem for all beings in the end.

The environmental limit of an island.

The reality that the continent is boiling with monsters.

The reality that one must choose either death or coexistence created a strange landscape where humans live mixed with demons.

After the world became close to destruction, Lucinil felt sad that such a thing was possible.

The fact that such a landscape was created in that situation also made Lucinil feel a strange emotional wave.

The reasons and causes were complex, and Bali, who created such an environment, was also the cause of this situation.

But she didn't collapse in that situation and tried to do something. And in the end, she achieved something.

That's why Lucinil felt sadness and pride, as well as admiration.

It was an outlying area that even the castle wall could not cross.

Monsters didn't roam around periodically.

But even if there were monsters that could threaten Lucinil in this change, she was a Lord Vampire.

So Lucinil walked around the outskirts of Port Mokna, looking at the changed world.

In fact, it didn't seem to have changed much.

It wasn't that humans were densely gathered in every place on the continent, nor were monsters boiling all over the continent.

In the landscape where the moonlight illuminated the world and a slight breeze blew, Lucinil, a vampire of the silver veil, walked quietly.

Reinhardt disappeared looking for something.

The empress who filled the vacancy is trying hard to fulfill her role.

The many relationships that the demon king had have turned into strange relationships mediated by guilt.

Lucinil thought of Bali's appearance, which seemed the same but had changed so much that she couldn't recognize him.

Like an obsession that she shouldn't show a weak side.

The subtle cuteness that used to be there has disappeared.

Since her existence became the starting point of tragedy, the demon king's heart must have been broken.

But she didn't feel it at all on the surface.

She closed her heart because she couldn't even reveal it as a court lady, and felt that if she started to reveal it, there would be no end to it.

Now that it has become like this, she has a premonition that an even more tragic fate will be given to her next time.

Still, she acts as if she has to do something.

"Poor guy...."

Lucinil murmured to herself quietly.

The demon king has become stronger. He is only pretending to be strong while hiding his broken heart behind a thick curtain of shattered emotions. He may not have told anyone where he was going or where he was headed, but the demon king must have left to overcome his given destiny. Lucinil has seen many who run tirelessly like a machine and achieve something, but she has also seen many who die exhausted after running like that. She doesn't know if the demon king's fate is to die exhausted or to achieve something. However, the demon king was running with his broken self clenched tightly without revealing it to anyone. He tries not to collapse even by force, not because he has become stronger, but because of his obsession. Lucinil wonders where the poor guy is wandering in which world and which place. The demon king, who has moved away from Edina's affairs, headed somewhere as if he had been waiting. Lucinil stopped walking on the grassland that night and suddenly stood still. A eerie wind was blowing from somewhere. Lucinil looked at the hills in the moonlight. Lucinil is a Lord Vampire, an undead creature that is alive even though it must die. Therefore, it was easier for Lucinil to sense spiritual beings than other living beings. Lucinil could feel a strange reaction in the wind. She could read the strange cries and despair that were melting in the wind. Ghosts. Even in the Vampire Council, there were ghosts that were entangled. They couldn't affect living beings, but there were ghosts that were entangled in the place itself. Lucinil walked slowly over the hills of the mound and towards the place where the howling of the ghosts was heard. This eerie howling was a phenomenon that originally belonged to this world, unlike the monsters of the gate. However, this eerie howling, which made even the wind moan, made Lucinil walk to a certain place as if she were possessed. The entangled voices of ghosts filled with despair and resentment echoed painfully in her ears. It was a cliff that was cunningly hidden, as if it could never be found unless someone deliberately searched for it, in a deep and huge artificial pit between the hills. Lucinil sensed that the eerie howling was flowing out of the artificial cave. Something sinister was lurking under that pit. It wasn't moving. -Heuhuhuk......

-Euuueueueu......

However, there were so many ghosts that couldn't leave this place because of how big the soul was. Lucinil narrowed her eyes and summoned a sphere of light under that pit. It was a pit that was dug so deep that the depth couldn't be measured. Only then did Lucinil know what was under that pit. "What is this...?" Corpses of humans who were beaten to death. * * * Rianna secured more survivors than she reported to Edina. However, she didn't send many of them to Edina. They became non-existent people without being written on any documents. Rianna killed them. Hearing that, Hae-ri was shocked, and Charlotte just stared at Rianna with a calm gaze. "I thought I'd find out someday, but I didn't expect you to notice before Reinhardt. And it won't be long." Until now, Hae-ri and Reinhardt had no idea, but Charlotte had figured out what had happened by looking at a few documents. Rianna couldn't have any doubts about her ability, regardless of whether Charlotte personally disliked her. "Rianna... What are you saying? Why... why are you killing people?" Charlotte didn't say anything, but Hae-ri was shocked. Until now, Rianna had been killing survivors without any reports. If that was true, Rianna would have saved the most people in Edina while slaughtering innocent people. Rianna looked at Hae-ri, whose face turned pale. "Reinhardt, you've had a lot of close calls." "...." Attempting to assassinate the demon king is not a one or two day job. In fact, there were many times when he almost died, and recently, he had been sharing a bedroom with Hae-ri for that reason. "We can't let any more impure people into Edina." In fact, there are many people in Edina who hate the demon king enough to oppose or want to kill him. However, they are just trying to suppress them with force. Also, if there is no demon king, it is unknown how the demons who coexist with humans will turn. Rianna stared at Hae-ri. "If you educate refugees about the situation in Edina, do you know what will happen?" "...." "If you hear about a society ruled by a demon king and living with demons, there will be no one who would rather die than live there." They are not just simple opposition forces. They are people who have lost something. A country ruled by the demon king, the culprit of that situation. If they have to live in a place where such an existence rules in the future, there are those who would rather choose death. There are those who hate the demon king so much that they want to kill him. However, there are also those who hate the demon king so much that they want to die. Hae-ri trembled her lips with a desperate expression. "Rianna... Even if that's the case, there's no need to kill them..." "Then what?" Rianna looked at Hae-ri. "They said they would rather die than go to Edina. If we force them, Reinhardt will be in danger. Is it only Reinhardt? Hae-ri, you've almost died before too. Even Olivia feels the same way. I don't want to fill Edina with extremist forces. But I can't just send them there without education either. It could become a problem. With more and more of those people who hate the demon king and would rather die than live in a society ruled by him, there may already be a faction forming that could overthrow Edina. I can't do that. But if we don't send them, should we just feed and shelter them for the rest of their lives? I can't do that either. Should we just chase them away and let them live on their own wherever they can? Yes, that's what we did before. We chased them away to the wilderness if they wanted to die so badly. We chased away a considerable number of survivors like that."
