78.2 Conversation And Atonement
If I was also A soldier of his age.
His reaction was natural. I would have a hard time sleeping
I Am a hero. Former to be exact.
Then I told them about my participation in the raid on the demon king castle. Got defeated by the demon king. And before I noticed, reborn as the demon race
And then, I told them about my goal to use my position to destroy the demon kingdom from inside. My contract with the demon god of taboo to get more power. I confessed my sin and The fact that I abandoned the people before me.
The old soldier listened in silence, while the other four had a troubled look on their faces. Though they had almost lost their ego, I had no idea if they would understand my situation.
That's too good to be true.
No matter how you look at it, you're a fu*cking demon race.
Rather, it seems they became even more pissed off. Well Having killed them, and dragged their soul out of the spiritual world, I didn't have the qualification to say that
Not to mention that for them who had lost a majority of their ego, my story did sounds like bullsh*it.
But, I had one thing to prove my identity.
An undeniable proof of a hero.
O God of Light, If there is still some compassion in you.
Hi Yel Lampus, Sut Hyel Mo(O Holy Light, Come To This Hand)
The moment they saw the silvery light on my fingertip The enraged souls retreated at once.
It was the light that protected them in the battlefield when they were alive.
Alas now they are undead spiritual beings, that light will become their last beacon.
Still, I had to show this to them as proof.
They approached slowly.
They looked at the flower-like glow from point blank range
And suddenly stretched their hands.
They ended up burning their fingers Before I retracted the light. He touched the holy light faster.
The silvery light wrapped the soul like flame.
And then Sounds akin to hot iron being dipped into water. The holy light that should've purified them and inflicted wounds to undead Alas, I covered him with a muddy magical power of darkness.
The spirit body that dimmed due to my magical power of darkness regained its contour. Even the eyes of the young soldier that looked at me Regained its' clarity.
His fist poked my head. His fist pierced my defensive ward.
The reason for that Might be because it wasn't counted as an attack.
My childhood friend Has been waiting for me to return in our hometown We're supposed to get married after I'm back from the battlefield
He squinted his eyes with a forlorn look in his eyes.
That girl Eh, Who's her name again? Eh, who's my na
Even though his mind regained its clarity, I guess it didn't change the fact that his soul was wearing away slowly.
Anyhow There's A lot of things I want to tell you
He squinted his eyes.
Please protect The alliance Human And the my childhood friend.
His body then crumbled down and turned into particles of light.
Another soul stretched his hand. The male soldier had a serious look on his face that pierced through the veil of darkness.
I entrust my wife And daughter to you Their name is
His face warped in agony.
Isabella, and Nia My, name Is Kite
And tried his best to muster his memories.
I'm sure That they Must've trouble in their livelihood That's why if you happen to meet them
I know, don't worry. I'll save them!
And then, he also vanished.
Another soldier regained his contour after touching the silver light.
I have, a younger brother Of your age
And then he tapped my head with a lonely look on his face.
As for you Do your best
"I'll be waiting" And left with those words.
He then turned into particles of light too.
Honestly I still Held a grudge against you
The young soldier who seems to be in his teens glared at me.
But If you say That your, situation Has changed, I Am Sorry I can't
He grasped tightly on my hand that got burned by the holy attribute.
I believe in you That's why Defeat, the Demon King
Humph Then I'll Save My punch Till later
Like burning candle, he slowly reached his limit
And then crumbled down like his peers.
And then, the last one left was the old soldier who was still folding his arms.
He is still dyed by my magical power of darkness.
This is why young folks are
And shrugged his shoulders.
Too soft hearted They easily Trust You Just like that
He heaved an unnatural sigh.
I Will sleep, by your side For a while longer. Someone has to stay And see it Right?
And revealed a laugh.
Just like that, he turned into a vortex and went into his own skull.
Use this bone of mine too, don't let it become a mere useless ornament.
His last words before he went back to his sleep resounded in the room.
That was the only thing I could say to them.
Alas, I renewed my vow as I wiped my tears.
I'll defeat the Demon King.
And then Save humankind.
TL: Jil-kun will meet Isabella and Nia much much later.
