Chapter 438
There was only a dark silence in the meeting room. No one was willing to open their mouths.
The meeting hall included Sarkegar, as well as the five heads of the Lord Vampire family, including Antirianus.
Eleris guaranteed that Antirianus, who had betrayed him, returned calmly.
Antirianus is not a traitor, but rather killed the head of Cantus Magna and returned.
As for Akasha’s whereabouts, Ellerith gave minimal explanation.
Akasha is a tool of creation and is now stored in a safe place.
Per Balie’s instructions, Ellerith had moved Akasha from another place to be connected.
They were now gathered at the base of Lruen, not the old castle Epiax.
Epiax was no longer usable because numerous humans had been dispatched to investigate.
From the traces of Epiax’s collapse, everyone had some idea of what had happened.
Lydia Schmidt got into a fight with someone and disappeared.
And Epinhauser delivered the fact that the demon king was now detained in the temple through Lucinil, so they learned about the current situation.
Lydia Schmidt is presumed dead.
And the Demon King and Loyar are imprisoned in the Temple.
Elerith’s complexion was white.
“Your poor benevolence has endangered Your Highness, Ellerith.”
“… … .”
At Sarkegar’s sharp words, Elerith had no answer.
flimsy self-pity.
The small cog wheel made the parts that didn’t mesh fit together and turned, and due to that, Balie’s identity was discovered.
Even if it is possible to infiltrate with Sarkegar’s transformation ability, it is impossible to bring him out.
Therefore, only armed conflict is considered.
“It is certain that the place where Your Highness is now detained will be more difficult to enter than Tetra, the central palace of Emperatos. And in order to raid it, the prerequisite is that our few troops have to go all the way to the temple. Is it possible for us now to break through the temple, and then break through the prison where the lower person in the depths is imprisoned by force?”
All of Sarkegar’s words did not respond.
It wasn’t about facing the guerrillas, it was about attacking the main base.
That is impossible.
And besides the heads of the Council, there are other allies.
“Is there any possibility that the Black Order can help with this?”
At Sarkegar’s words, Galarsh shook his head.
“Even annihilating Cantus Magna was the condition for cooperation with Order. And since Cantus Magna disappeared long ago, there’s no reason for them to give us more strength.”
“We should rather worry that they will covet Akasha.”
The Black Order was not here now.
It was unknown what attitude they would take if they knew the truth about Akasha, so after the Lich’s Tomb incident, the Council refrained from contacting them after securing Akasha.
Rather, Epinhauser’s report of the detention in Bali was rather an excessive favor.
With the Kantus Magna case resolved and not sharing the truth about Akasha with them, the alliance is effectively over. To put it mildly, it was a betrayal on the part of the Council.
So, since the Demon King has been kidnapped, the words to ask for help will not work, and there is a strong possibility that the order will say to hand over Akasha rather than that.
A situation where the help of the Black Order cannot be hoped for.
All that exists is the power of the Vampire Council.
It is impossible to get Balie back.
Elleris, who was most responsible for this situation, just stood there blankly with a hard expression on her face.
Balie will die soon.
Antirianus, who had been silent, grinned.
“How about using Akasha?”
“… … .”
At that, Sarkegar narrowed his brows.
“Didn’t it be said that Akasha is a tool of creation? How does that help the situation?”
“That’s an overly condensed description.”
Antirianus looks at Elerith with a coy smile.
“Akasha itself is already a very powerful source of power. Right now, the imperial capital and the temples must have defenses that can respond to that level of magic, so it will certainly be difficult to solve the situation with powerful magic… … . Why don’t you think carefully about the fact that it is a tool of creation?”
“… … .”
“It’s a slightly different use of the stuff that makes the world.”
“Used differently, what do you mean?”
“It is to make the world half, a little clumsy, for example.”
Antirianus grins.
“Half makes the world… … ?”
“Akasha is in an unfinished state, so if we start it now… … . Perhaps something infinitely close to the world, but not yet, will be created.”
At Antirianus’ explanation, Elerith bit her lip.
Antirianus was unable to see Akasha in person, but he heard an explanation about Akasha from Lucren, the head of Cantus Magna.
As it is a tool of creation, I had no choice but to know how it could be used.
I have already heard about how to use Akasha and the side effects of using it in an unfinished state.
“It’s about making that world collide with the current world with a bang.”
“Very big.”
“Until now, no one had ever seen or heard of it.”
“Amazing… … . A very terrible disaster will happen.”
“Humanity is in chaos. Castles, bridges, and houses will collapse and be destroyed, and humanity will face great chaos.”
“What then?”
“The world seems to be doomed, so shouldn’t the numerous wizards and knights who have been stationed to watch over the demon king leave their seats?”

“To protect people, their lives.”
“We will take advantage of that gap.”
“It is to take advantage of that gap and rescue our demon lord.”
“They will have to deal with the disaster that has hit the world first, and they won’t have time to deal with us trying to rescue the demon lord from their grip.”
“Since most of the human race may die, or even perish, it will be easier to rescue him and rebuild the Demon Realm, isn’t it obvious?”
“So I am telling you.”
“Use Akasha, but intentionally use it unfinished.”
Antirianus watched with delight as Elerith bit her lip.
Galarche, Lluen, and Lucinel were silent.
Sarkegar’s eyes widened.
“that… … . That way… … .”
extinction of mankind.
Rescue of the Demon King.
And, rebuild.
They had in their hands the means to accomplish all three of Sarkegar’s secret wishes at once.
“It seems that there is no other way, no, there is no reason to choose another way other than that way.”
Half of humanity disappears. Or it may perish.
Sarkegar sees no reason not to use such a tool.
“still… … . Will it work?”
Lluen hesitated and said so.
A catastrophe of an excessively large scale will occur.
No matter how much he had the goal of saving Valie, it was not so easy to decide on such a thing.
Lucinil looks sadly at Sarkegar.
“me too… … . I hope our Balie doesn’t die, but… … . do we have the right to do that? Even if something like that happens… … . will it work?”
Sarkegar narrowed his eyes at Lucinil’s fearful words for discussing an overly catastrophic event.
“Humans have destroyed our world.”
“The sons and daughters of Darkland have been killed, enslaved and raped, and now we are about to destroy our one remaining future, even the last hope to secure it.”
“They destroyed us, they plundered our lands and our children, and now they want to destroy our last hope.”
“Isn’t it right that we, me, and the Lord have the right to destroy them?”
“Who started the last war? Aren’t they human?”
“Who else has the right to destroy humanity if not us?”
“Since they destroyed us, shouldn’t they be destroyed as well?”
They destroyed us, so we have the right to destroy them too. At that, Lucy Nil bit his lip and looked at Sarkegar.
To that legitimate hatred, Lucinil and Lluen could not find words to add.
Sarkegar believes that the sons and daughters of the Dark Lands have the right to destroy humanity. Therefore, he had no choice but to agree with Antirianus’ opinion to use Akasha while it was unfinished.
It’s the best option with no reason not to choose it.
Even if the Demon King dies, humanity will be driven into a state of extinction.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
You destroyed us, so you must also be destroyed.
that’s not right
I can’t.
We need to find a way to coexist.
To someone who has had everything destroyed, such a story is nothing more than a dime of hypocrisy from those who have never been in that situation.
No one could say anything to Sarkegar in his rage.
“Of course, I understand your thoughts, but that is not something you can do just because you decide to do so.”
Antirianus smiled and spoke softly to Sarkegar.
“Right now, only Hwayo’s Head knows Akasha’s location, and only Hwayo’s Head can enter Akasha.”
A library in the basement of the castle.
Now the location has been moved, but only three beings can enter Akasha.
Charlotte de Gradias.
Demon King Valie.
And the ancient Archdemon, Ellerith.
Elleris was just staring at the table.
“… … .”
Sarkegar does not know that Elerith is an ancient Archdemon.
But even if you knew, it wouldn’t make any difference.
An Archdemon that has lost its horns cannot be the hope of the demon realm.
“Elleris.”
“… … .”
“Take responsibility for your ugly hypocrisy.”
“… … .”
At Sarkegar’s words, Elerith was speechless.
Valie, who has worked so hard to prevent the Gate Avalanche, will eventually see the Gates happen as part of a ploy to save himself.
like fate.
Chasing a gate avalanche is the cause, and a gate avalanche occurs.
If you didn’t do anything, you will only have a terrible regret that nothing would have happened.
Elleris is troubled.
should I run away in council. from everything in the world.
Or, you can take your own life.
but. what if that’s the case
While trying to save all humans, Balie dies at the hands of humans.
Without being understood by anyone, he dies being hated and hated by everyone he loved.
One’s last descendant dies right before he can do good with good intentions.
because of your own mistakes.
At the cost of being intoxicated by clumsy benevolence.
If Valie dies and Akasha stays silent as it is, the world will flow without the Gate Incident happening as Valie intended.
Is it good though?
did that happen?
Because of his own hypocrisy, the last descendant dies.
If countless beings can be saved by just watching the death of their descendants, is it right to do so?
But that it was right, that Bali would have wished for it, that countless beings could live because of it.
that this was justice
Do I have to live while masturbating like that?
“Elleris, are you going to talk bullshit about all beings in the world having a reason to live? Yes, all beings in the world deserve to live, and there must be a meaning to their existence. However, keep in mind that all the children of the Dark Land were like that.”
Sarkegar’s words were hacking at Elerith’s heart.
“haha… … . The matriarch of Hwayo, who hates and shuns slaughter so much… … . To assume this role… … .”
The sound of Antirianus’ laughter tickled my ears.
“How… … . Is this such a sad fate… … . haha. Heh heh heh heh heh… … .”
While listening to the mad laughter of an old vampire who was so happy with this situation that he couldn’t help it.
Ellerith thinks of an afternoon long ago.
As always, it was a lazy afternoon.
There were no customers, lying face down on the counter in the boring afternoon sun.
One lazy afternoon when I was just passing time blankly.
The shop door opened and a boy entered.
The boy who was carrying a fireball scroll was somewhat familiar.
A boy who for some reason possessed the scrolls of the demons.
When he found out that the boy was his last descendant.
When I found out that it was Valie Jr., the prince of the underworld, who had once been a private tutor for a few days.
Elerith believed that there was some destiny given to her.
When the boy said he was trying to save the world, he knew the future.
That fate would be the way to save the world from destruction, so he believed that it would lighten even a little the weight of the sins and slaughter he had accumulated so far.
but.
Wasn’t that
destiny given to you.
Wasn’t that the last thing he had to do?
Heaped up so much slaughter and sin that the hypocrisy heaped up to avoid them drove him to the precipice.
Trying to pay for the sin of slaughter with hypocrisy.
In the end, committing a sin that no one in the world can forgive.
trying to save everyone
killing everyone.
Was that your role?
“… … .”
Was that my destiny?
