Shin Sang Legend
A thousand years ago
“Don't the Demon King have been defeated long ago?”
When those words sounded, the air became silent.
Shin's expression completely froze on his face and his pupils widened, unable to hide his surprised expression.
***
“A-What did you say !?”
At that moment, Shin could only lose his composure.
“A-What is it?”
This time, Vivian was surprised by Shin's response.
“T-Nothing ...” Shin used everything he had to forcefully suppress his shock, but he could not help but continue, “You said the Demon King has been defeated long ago?”
“Y-ya.” Vivian looked at Shin in surprise, as if she was trying to read Shin's expression. After a while, probably because he knew that Shin was not joking, he spoke in a strange tone, “The Demon King was defeated in the war a thousand years ago by this Partner Kingdom Hero. That is how the world returns to peace. Adventurers as a profession also started due to lack of manpower from the damage caused by the war. Isn't that a common history that even small children know?”
Hearing that, Shin's expression turned rather bad.
No, it has to be said that it got worse.
“What's wrong with you?”
Shin's expression made Vivian quite worried, and her words contained threads of discomfort within.
“... Nothing.”
Shin seemed to want to say something, but he ended up restraining himself.
However, the question that needed to be asked, Shin could still ask.
“Can you tell me about this in more detail?” Shin asked Vivian.
Vivian furrowed her brows and gestured as if she wanted to ask something, but she stopped because of Shin's expression.
It was because at that moment, Shin showed an expression of restraint that he had never shown before.
The gaze was the same as she found that the meaning behind her life was all wrong and she almost went the wrong way. Plus, it was as if it had only happened because someone else had deceived him, like he was betrayed and needed to know the truth.
That made Vivian stop, and in the end, she chose to remain silent.
“It is something that everyone already knows.” Vivian started with that.
“You should have been aware. Since the creation of the world, the gods and devils have always been at odds. From there, wars throughout history began, and from there, one after another, humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, and even demonic beasts appeared, right?”
Shin replied with a nod to Vivian's question.
It was indeed the history of the world that Shin learned from Nien.
Vivian's explanation was basically no different from that goddess.
“Because the gods are generally weaker than demons in terms of strength, and because of their naturally limited number, they have been harmed since ancient times. Even after creating humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, and other races, when facing endless demons, the gods were still unable to take back the advantage on a strategic scale. ”
“Therefore, for the sake of defeating the demons, the heads of the gods, the supreme god Omnis finally created a ritual capable of summoning heroes from another world, and from there, the summoned heroes.”
“Hero naturally comes with powerful unique skills and their personal Sacred Sword. Every single one of them could show astonishing potential, comparable to the strongest demons. As long as they managed to grow up, in the end, they could even easily surpass them. ”
“Unfortunately, the devil still has the highest existence. True king, called Demon King.”
The power of the Demon King was so strong that even the supreme god Omnis was afraid of it.
Even for a hero, they would have a hard time defeating the Demon King.
Thus, even though some heroes had appeared throughout history and reversed the situation with war, the gods were still unable to completely subdue the demons and achieve victory.
Until now, Vivian's explanation did not differ markedly from Nien's explanation.
Till…
“A thousand years ago, who is now known as the last and strongest hero in history appeared.”
“The hero has a holy sword and unique skill that is much stronger than its predecessors in history, and he easily suppresses the Demon King's strongest subordinates. In the end, with the help of the gods and humans, he was finally released before the Demon King.”
“So, the hero and the Demon King finally entered their actual final battle. In that battle, it was not just the heroes and Demon Lords involved. Even the supreme god who was the head of the gods and the next three supreme goddesses, as well as the six great demon kings who were directly under the Demon King all participated in the battle. ”
“In that battle, the hero defeated the Demon King. The demons have completely lost, and even the gods have received so many casualties that they can no longer continue the fight.”
“So, under the direction of the hero, the gods and demons thus declare that the war will no longer continue, and the world returns to peace.”
“After that, in order to allow all races to improve their relationship, the supreme god Omnis used his authority and divided the world into three. Then he brought the gods to one of them, and the world became the realm of gods. Demons also retreated to another world under the leadership of the demon lord, and that world became the demon world.”
“As for the many races consisting of mortal races such as humans, elves, beastmen, and dwarves, they remain in this world, thus being known as the mortal world.”
“So, the wars that have continued for countless thousands of years have ended. The gods and demons put themselves in a truce together, and humanity began to recover under the leadership of the hero. The hero himself who created the kingdom, became the king, and that is this Partner Kingdom.”
Things like that. The war has been over for a thousand years. The Demon King had been defeated a long time ago and was no more.
“Currently, the mortal world, the god realm, and the demon world are all still in contact.”
“The gods still protect humans and give blessings to mortal children.”
“Devil is also for the sake of developing his world, they keep in touch with the various great kingdoms of the mortal world. ”
Vivian's words made Shien completely lose his ability to speak.
“Then, hero ..”
Shin's voice was a bit hoarse.
To that end, Vivian looked at Shin intently and only spoke once more after a while.
“Since the death of the founding king of the Mitra Kingdom, the heroes have never reappeared. The gods have also sealed the hero summoning ritual, and it will no longer work.”
That's natural, right?
“Hero is the ace of the gods to defeat the Demon King and the demons. Since the war is over and the three races must walk together on the path of peace, they are no longer needed
“Or rather, if a hero reappears, it will be a big problem.”
“It was because it showed that the gods were once again preparing to act against the demons. The demons were naturally unable to leave the greatest threat to them without any reaction. When that time came, the mortal race would also have no way of staying by the side. ”
“Therefore, if a hero reappears, peace between the three races will most likely be broken, and war can be revived.”
“For this world, a hero is the biggest war trigger, so it absolutely must not appear.”
