15 – Curse

-Er, you will become our king who will lead the demons in the future.

-The land where demons currently reside, the Demon World, is gradually disappearing.

-We must set out to find a new land.

-Middle Earth. Our lost home.

-This was the land of our demons in the past, but was taken away by them.

-Human. Elf. Prisoner. Dwarf. They are all trying to kill us. All those who harm the demons must be destroyed, right?

“All humans… ….”

-Yes. Every.

“Land of demons…… Our original land…….”

-We’re taking back our land, er.

-Your Majesty the Demon King! The entire Demon King army was successfully transported to another dimension!

-The first kingdom of the humans has been overthrown! Congratulations on your victory, Your Majesty!

-We succeeded in securing the territory of the demons, Your Highness!

-There is news that the races of Middle-earth have gathered and formed an alliance!

-It is said that a being called a ‘Hero’ has appeared! A ‘warrior’ only told in legends!

-The 1st Corps Commander Erza and the demon warriors of the 1st Corps were killed by the hero.

Erza… ….

-Count Heinrich, in charge of the 3rd Detachment, was killed!

Heinrich… ….

-The warrior of General Datrich of the Four Heavenly Kings…… Confirmed….

Datrich… ….

The only way for demons to survive.

War with Middle-earth.

The fate of the demons.

In that war, the demons suffered incredible damage.

A cruel battlefield where everyone who has been with me since childhood died.

I fought desperately to reduce the damage from the demons as much as possible, but I was a ‘hero’.

Since the existence of something outside the standard appeared, the damage to the demon army has increased countlessly.

They slaughtered our demons so cruelly.

What a terrible being.

A being who has been waiting for me to take revenge someday.

And the warrior he faced on the battlefield…… It looked very different from what I thought.

A person who saves the race of Middle-earth by wielding a brilliant sword of light.

Rather than a cruel massacre…… A close look at the savior.

The slayer is rather…… We.

No.

Something is wrong.

This war would have been a war against the evil races of Middle Earth to save our demons.

That is why it is a war that was waged even at the expense of our demons.

Something is wrong.

Why are we killing these seemingly innocent people?

Why did we take the sword in the first place without thinking of joining the races of Middle-earth?

Why did we make them look at us with eyes filled with resentment and anger?

My mind is so confused.

I realized from the beginning that I was wrong in thinking that this was the only way.

What the hell… ….

My beloved compatriots were destroyed by the warrior.

Friedrich too.

Goerihi too.

Darihi also.

Everything.

The hero who defeated all the demons stood before me alone.

“Ha. “I never thought my body would be pushed this far.”

And unlike before, his power overwhelms me with his single body.

“A warrior. “I never thought there would be such a being that has only been passed down in legend.”

“I never thought I would be dragged into a world like this.”

“Ahahahaha. Could it be that the being who shattered this body’s plans. “Not a noble goddess or a high god, but a human being forcibly taken from another world!”

The being who put an end to our demon race was not a human from Middle Earth, but a being from another world.

“Let’s end this now. Devil.”

I was no match for the grown warrior at all.

No, it may be because I have lost my goal and do not need strength.

Since the meaning of fighting has disappeared, the meaning of victory does not exist either.

“But I was no different from them. It was no different at all. Warrior. No human. “What is your name?”

“My name is Arwen. “You know that too, right?”

“No. “I speak your true name, not the false name of this world.”

“…… Hyun Woo. “It’s Oh Hyeon-woo.”

Hyunwoo….

“Oh Hyeonwoo…. Phew. “It’s an unusual name that definitely makes you feel like it’s from another world.”

Before, I was filled with hazy smoke as if I was being controlled by someone, but after facing him, I was able to escape.

A being who liberated me and the demons from some kind of bondage.

Ironically, the one who massacred our demons.

Hero.

Even though he killed all of our demons, I felt no resentment towards him at all.

Rather, he is the one who saved our demon race.

“Are you laughing at me?”

“I’m sorry if you felt that way. “I was just curious what the name of the man who beat me was.”

“Is that so?”

“Hyeonwoo. “Now you will take my head and become the hero of the continent.”

The one who broke the chain of hatred, liberated the demons, and saved the continent.

He deserves to be treated as a hero.

“Hmph. Hero…. “I’m not interested in such things.”

“hehehe. Is it. “For a man who has conquered this body, it is a simple wish.”

I see.

That’s a little… It might be a shame.

“Hyeonwoo… Hyun Woo…. “I will not forget this name in my next life.”

I don’t know if there will be a next life.

Still, if given another chance… In that case, I want to repay Hyunwoo.

For saving me and the demons.

“Next life…… “I mean.”

“Hyeonwoo… …. Hyun Woo… …. Oh Hyeon… right… ….”

So the vision becomes blurry.

Close your eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I had become Ecclesia, the newborn of the Allerto family.

* * *

I became human after being liberated from the position of the devil.

The things I did in the past that I was manipulated into happened 2000 years ago or earlier.

To be reborn as a human being whom I slaughtered in the past.

It would have been nice to be able to meet Hyunwoo again, but he also existed 2000 years ago.

No, from the beginning, every time he fought me, he made a habit of saying that he would defeat me and return to his world, so there is no way he would remain on this continent.

Even a cute little brother in a peaceful era.

Now that I am no longer the devil, I have decided to live this life for myself.

Unusually, my younger brother, Arwen Allerto, was also a reincarnation like me.

I wondered if the hero Hyunwoo had been reincarnated as Arwen, just like the wish I had in my past life.

But I soon realized that it couldn’t be otherwise.

Hyunwoo does not belong to this dimension.

After the war ended, he would have returned to his own world.

Even if he didn’t go back, there is no way that a being who does not belong to this dimension could be reincarnated as a baby in this dimension.

Nevertheless, I guess I recognized Arwen as Hyunwoo.

“Ecclesia.”

Every word he said reminded me of Hyunwoo from my past life.

Even though there is no way he is Hyunwoo.

Considering him as a replacement for Hyunwoo.

“The power you use. Divine power. “It seems the bishop misunderstood the power of past lives.”

“That’s right. “I caused a misunderstanding.”

“Can’t I just say I won’t go? “Why are you so worried?”

“That… ….”

“Is it to find out about the gods we talked about earlier?”

They are gods….

We haven’t yet found out who put a spell on our demons in our past life, but the most likely person is God.

A being who pushed our demons into the abyss of tragedy.

And the being that caused destruction.

“Yeah, that’s right. “I need to learn about the gods who have changed from my previous life.”

“If that’s the case, there’s no need to follow the bishop. It would be enough to find out slowly with me. The duke has already become ours. And we are only five years old. Vision is enough.”

We cannot let Arwen go to the gods’ home.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t know what would happen to him.

“Yes, but…” ….”

Why are you hesitating?

Are you thinking of going to the Holy Kingdom alone?

“Still, I might be able to understand it properly once I visit. As you said, we have enough vision.”

“…… “Am I that untrustworthy?”

“Uh, huh?”

“If I leave like this, I won’t be able to see you for a while. Are you still going?”

Unlike usual, my emotions fluctuate.

For some reason, I feel like I will never see him again if I let him go like this.

Yes.

Now, Arwen has become family to me, not just a replacement for Hyunwoo.

Tak

Arwen said, holding my wrist.

“It’s just a short visit, so don’t worry too much. And if you use your teleportation magic, you can see it at any time, right?”

Arwen suddenly lost hesitation in her eyes as if she had made up her mind.

“I’m just checking. Got it?”

Don’t go.

Arwen.

Are you planning to leave me like everyone else?

From noble mtl dot com

In this life too?

* * *

I don’t understand Ecclesia’s suddenly strange reaction, but thanks to that, I have made up my mind.

I need to meet Leah sometime.

If not for this opportunity, there would be no other chance to meet her.

Leah… ….

After leaving the ekklesia, I opened the door and went in, speaking to the bishop.

“I’ll go, Seongguk.”
