Demon King
Chapter 100 The Rebellion [9]

[That's amazing.!].

“But not much space in it.” I respond to Cain, who admires a castle made only of natural stone and mana.

I'll build a temporary inn inside the wall.

[Why temporarily?]

“Until the next evolution, shrink enough to go inside.”

[Evolution... Can I evolve again?]

No matter how strong his current body was, he must have gone through countless changes during this one and a half years. If maybe not as much as I have, but still, he must have evolved a few times.

‘Will there be a next one? Or am I facing a limit here? ‘ There is no room for such questions.

“Don't worry about that. You follow me, so I'm sure it will be the best evolution ever. ”

Myu.

[.. There are so many secrets here.].

He shrugged and sighed at my words. An incredible sight, considering he was a six-meter-tall giant.

[But I believe you.]

“Good.” After talking to him, I turned to look at the forest outside the wall. A group of people approached from the front without trying to hide.

“Captain, they're coming. I also have three ready-made staff. ”

I knew they were coming. My brother Kang Si-yeon, the head of the Erkindra guild, is moving forward to protect the fallen. He approached our castle with a group of high-leveled people, moving quickly in a straight line.

“I show up like you said!” The inside of my head is burning. I checked my sister and the people who followed her, and then brought them all inside. Kain, who was leaning against the wall, lowered his head as soon as he saw who it was.

[Thank you for saving me.]

“...” My little sister looked at him quietly for a moment before replying.

“Did I really save you?”

[If it wasn't for you, I might have died before he arrived. So yes.”

“But you are still treated as a monster.... by this man…! He is manipulating you. ”

[He did not move my mind with ability. My gratitude is real.]

“But..!” High school students have emotions that are so rich. I decided to intervene, thinking it would not be over if I did not.

What is Erkindra's purpose to save the fallen?

“Iya!” He turned to me.

“I don't like this hatred of the fallen! They were the same people - they had just died during the Great Fusion because they were unlucky…! ” His angry eyes pulled me in. I wonder if he thought of me when he said that; I who had lost his life in a Chinese restaurant during Great Fusion.

“These people are crazy. Experience, money, stuff! Some people would even kill their own families for those things! ” However, I can't imagine why he made a guild and got involved in this activity. Or rather, it could even. Maybe because he had a bandit daughter as a couple? Could it be that he obtained something that surpassed all these other factors?

“And you! You act like a monster. I think I feel something different about you, but I'm wrong. Besides you're like everyone else.. ”I really don't know. Everything about him had changed, yet at the same time, it made me instinctively recognize him. I smiled bitterly and shrugged my shoulders.

“So, you have chosen to stop people using violence?”

“There is no other way. We tried to talk about it with them over and over again, dozens of times, but they never listened…! ” His shoulders are shaking weakly. Lee Chan-yu, who was standing beside Kain, had a surprised expression on his face as he listened.

“My brother too. I don't know how to do anything, but I tried my best.. ”My sister looked at me with a sad expression, unlike the elven man before.

“... Useless words..”.

“Then, it's my turn to speak.” I looked around at Kain and Lee Chan-yu. Solas screamed a little as if he did not want to be forgotten as well. I smiled and looked back at my sister.

Wrong path.

“What did you say ...my way?” He tilted his head.

“What do you mean there's another way?”

“This is it.”

I'm done asking! He gritted his teeth while grasping the dagger.

“If you had saved Kain earlier, then what would you do?”

“Protect him in our guild. Then find the ones that fall and protect them as well. ”

“Atail monster...!” I ignored his answer and continued.

“At least humans think so. Removing that perception should be done later. Risks will keep piling up, and they will keep an eye on you. Sooner or later, whether it's your guild or another human that started it, it will only result in a battle. When that happens, the perception that falls will only get worse. ”

“Do you think it will happen?”

“More than that.” To the High School girl who is just thinking of saving the fallen, I told her the truth of the harsh world she is in now.

“You have no justification whatsoever. You just want to do it, so you do it. ” Her eyes were opened so wide that I was afraid her eyes would come out.

“Justification?! Do you need justification to save humanity? ”

“You just said everyone here is crazy. So if you want to save her, you need a reason. For example, fallen people are dangerous, but when tamed, they will help humanity. It's a much better way than just killing them.

“You mean..!”

“Make it better for mankind not to attack the fallen.” He clenched his dagger, his mouth wide open like a fool.

“They will not be able to attack the one that falls under the control of one of them. If there's a guy who doesn't like it, maybe he'll attack, but then it's just an individual. If you kill them, it doesn't matter. ”

“So what are you saying now..”.

“If you are determined to do something like this, at least you should limit your enemies. Think about the future of the fallen person you saved. ”

“... I want you to promise something.” He closed his mouth and looked at me seriously.

“The fallen are saved in your way. Is it really safety? ”

[I've said this, but I don't think there's a better way to do it. I am satisfied with how it went down.]

Cain intervened, and he looked at her blankly.

[Talking to others was something I couldn't even imagine until now. Everyone forces each other to acknowledge the fallen as the bad, but Fate realizes that they can be on the same side. It's not the same, but I'm happy to be able to connect with human society in this way.]

“It ... yes ...” He lowered his head.

I want to save the fallen.

“…”

“I will gather them and create a group that will never have to submit to anyone again.” Among humans, the only ones I can trust are the ones who look like me. Of course, there are people who do not fit in and want to be part of human society again.

“I can't help but build a subordinate relationship. It made those fools nod, and that was the condition to achieve what I wanted. I can't help it if you're not sure this is salvation, but it's not fair to think it's bad for the fallen. ”

“... No matter how much I consider it, I don't like your way.” He lifted his head and looked at me. His face was red, and his cheeks were swollen.

“But I think it's the best choice.”

“Good.”

“I never thought of becoming a leader before. I don't even think it's possible, and I wouldn't do it even if I did. When I think about their safety, nothing better comes to mind. ” His eyes were filled with moisture, threatening to spill onto his face. Those who followed him were silent but seemed to have similar emotions.

“I tried hard until now .. but the result is negative.”

What nonsense. He said it himself. ” I point to Kain while looking directly at my sister.

“Tanpamu, he must have been dead before I arrived. The price of your hard work is clear. ”

“...” I tried to show my cool side to my younger sister, vigorously maintaining the effort she has put in until now. It was not like my usual self, but it would be enough if she could feel relieved by my words alone. He wiped his tears and nodded.

“Thank you..”.

“You didn't finally start me like you were going to kill me.”

Forget about that. I almost laughed out loud when I saw her, but I could barely contain myself. I still have to be careful around him.

So, I have a suggestion.

“Saran?”

“Do you want to save the fallen?”

“Ya, but like this..”.

“So.” From the moment I checked out his guild potential today, I only had one thought in my mind.

“Come make alliance. Alliance to save all those who fall. ”
