Chapter 214 - Stolen (1)




1

The believers of the god were waiting .  They wanted a modern day miracle .  They wanted proof .

The people of this world worshipped many gods .  No one knew if their gods actually existed .  Even if a god was able to prove his existence in this era, it would merely become a legend .  It would become a page in the long history of this world .

However, there was a god that was an exception to this rule .

“Oh my king…… . ”

At that moment, all the Dragon Demon King worshippers of the continent were watching .

There was a pillar of darkness stretching from the ground to the ends of the heaven .

“The day has finally arrived…… . ”

Not all humans could see it .  However, all Dragon Demon King worshippers could see it .

It didn’t matter how far it was .  It didn’t matter if the terrain or weather got in the way .  Nothing could obstruct the Dragon Demon King worshippers from viewing it… .

All Dragon Demon King worshippers could see it, and they knew what it implied on instinct .

It was happening just as the prophecy said it would happen .  Dragon Demon King Atein was back from the dead .

“You really are alive again, Atein . ”

At the land located east of the continent,  an enormous dragon mumbled to itself .  It was the very first Dragon to win the Dragon Slayer’s Ritual to acquire his wisdom .  It was Albatan .

“Hmm .  I still have no idea what he wants to do .  Will he conquer the world once again to bring change to the world?”

Albatan asked the question to a dragon with dark blue scales .  Overall, it had a sleek form .  It was a water dragon .  It was known for its command over the power of water .  It was much smaller than Albatan, but it possessed the size of a common dragon .  It was Libetan, who was the dragon to earn wisdom after Albatan .

Albatan spoke .

“The only thing that is certain is that he is going to do something grand . ”

“Anyone could guess that . ”



Albatan turned to Libetan, who had scolded him .

A Dragon Demon youth was walking towards the entrance leading to Albatan’s dwelling .   He looked disheveled, but he possessed an eye catching blue white hair .  He possessed white horns like a mountain goat, and he had green eyes .  It was the 1st generation Dragon Demon Reshoo, who had created the Dragon Soul .

When Reshoo arrived in front of him, Albatan asked a question .

“Are you planning on leaving?”

“Yes .  Atein is calling for me . ”

Rehoo and Atein had last met at the end of the Great Darkness .  Baion, who was known as a sage, was assassinated by the ugly intention of the temple .  Baion had been one of Atein’s reincarnation .  As Baion’s life ended, Atein had woken up, and he had tried to take care of any lingering attachments left behind by Baion .  At the time, Reshoo had been concealing his identity as he protected Baion .  At the end, Atein asked for Reshoo to participate in his cause .

The human world was overflowing with tragedies, and Reshoo had been disgusted by it .  That was why he had accepted Atein’s offer .   He started believing in the idea that Atein might be able to solve the problem .  

Albatan spoke .

“We might be enemies when we next meet . ”

“Who knows?  If it does turn out like that… .  I won’t go easy on you . ”

“How scary .  Reshoo, do you really believe that you are making the right choice?”

At Albatan’s question, Reshoo mulled over the question for a brief moment .  He shook his head from side to side .

“…I have no idea . ”

“Then why are you going out of your way to help Atein?  If he is wrong, the resulting situation might be ruinous . ”

“I really love this forest . ”

Reshoo let out a bright smile .

It was a world where humans had gained supremacy .  Albatan had created a Demonic land called the Albatan Forest to protect the weak .  These were beings that were headed for extinction .

The weak fall prey to the strong .  It was the rule of nature .  It was logical for the strong to rule over the world .  However, everything needed moderation and balance .  Since humanity’s greed had grown to an uncontrollable level, Albatan had taken in the weak that were chased out by humans .  He established a land enclosed by a fence where the survival of one’s species was guaranteed .

He had created Albatan forest with such intention .  However, it was also true that the Albatan forest was more primitive and brutal than the outside world .  The Albatan forest also followed the law of the jungle .  There was violence amongst residents, and they fought for power within the forest .  

Despite this fact, Reshoo liked the forest .  It was barbaric, but everyone followed the rules and they kept to the code of honor .

“You created a birdcage, old man .  That isn’t the answer I want .  I still haven’t found the answer in my lifetime .  I decided to gamble on someone that might be able to find the answer I want . ”

As a result, he would have to fight against his beloved homeland .  Reshoo didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity .



Suddenly, Albatan spoke .

“You’ll have to fight Azell to the death . ”

“It is inevitable .  Unfortunately… . . ”

When Reshoo spoke to Azell last time, he made it sound as if the fight between them was an uncertainty .  However, Reshoo already knew this truth at the time of the conversation .

Azell couldn’t forgive Atein .

Azell had hesitated to fight Reshoo .  Azell’s state of confusion meant that he had avoided resolving the uncertainty between him and Reshoo .  However, if Azell fought against Atein, it was inevitable that he would end up fighting Reshoo .

“It is something I am willing to do . ”

Reshoo had already hardened his resolve .  The Albatan forest had become Reshoo’s home and Azell was his friend .  Reshoo would have to turn against them .  He wouldn’t go back on his decision .

“I should go now .  I hope I do not have to meet you as an enemy, old man .  Of course, that isn’t up to me . ”

Reshoo ended his short goodbye, and he left .

Atein opened his eyes .

The darkness surrounding him dispersed, and his vision returned .  It was as if he had awoken from a long sleep .  Atein was in a haze as he looked at the world .

“How beautiful . ”

It was a feeling that was very hard to express .

His surrounding was devastated .  Until not too long ago, this location had been a dense forest .  There were only signs of destruction now .  Everything was broken no matter where one looked .  The trees and rocks were broken in a haphazard manner .  The ground looked unsightly as if it had been dug up .

Atein looked at the sight as if he was mesmerized .

“It is still beautiful . ”

His eyes headed towards the sky .  The sky also didn’t match his words .  The sky was hazy .  It made one feel depressed just looking at it .

However, everything was eye blindingly beautiful in Atein’s eyes .  These were sensations that could never be felt in the world of death .  For a very long time, he had observed his reincarnation, while he was a step away from being alive .  Now he was walking the earth in his own body .  When he breathed in the air, the feeling evoked by the action moved him deeply .

Suddenly, he heard someone’s voice .

<…did his mind become affected because he was dead for so long?>

“You are being rude to his majesty . ”

<How do we really know if he is the real king?  First, we have to gain confirmation .  Don’t annoy me with talks about manners . >

“You didn’t really observe manners in the past either . ”

<I thought my way of speaking was courteous . >

“It seems your memories don’t match up with reality .  I guess you were always like that even before you became an Undead .

It was Reygus and Almarick .  The two had been waiting for Atein in this desolate place .

Atein put on a bright smile when he saw them .

“Reygus and Almarick .  It is good to see you again, my old friends .  How long did it take for my body to become my true self?”

“It just passed the 100th hour . ”

Almarick responded in a respectful manner .  Atein’s eyes widened a little bit .

“It took that long?  By my calculation, it should have taken about 30 minutes .  It seems the will of a human, who is ready for death, is really strong . ”

<Are you talking about Yuren Rizester?>

“Yes, he was my last reincarnation .  He was a human with a strong will . ”

At Reygus’ question, Atein nodded his head .

He had been the Guide before he had woken up .  He had watched Yuren Rizester’s life .

He had learned a lot through Yuren .  He learned about his deification by the Dragon Demon King worshippers .  He learned about their madness, and how humans changed when gripped by this madness .

He also saw what happened when a human was released from this madness .  He saw how bright a human’s resolve could be .

“Worry and fear .  He was able to overcome both .  His last  struggle inflicted a great deal of loss on me . ”

“What kind of loss……?”

“Hundred hours . ”

Atein spoke .

“If it went according to plan, my awakening should have lasted 30 minutes .  Everything had been prepared, so it just had to be completed . ”

However, Yuren had interfered with that plan .  While he remained alive, Yuren used the techniques in Atein’s memories .  He had delayed Atein’s revival as much as possible .

As a result, Atein had wasted 100 hours in his revival .  Reygus and Almarick had to stay next to Atein in case of any unexpected problems that might arise .  They had also been rooted to this spot for 100 hours .

“Amazing .  If it wasn’t for his interference, I would have been able to finish half of my tasks as soon as I was revived .  I would have acquired Azell Karzark, and I would have been able to kil his party members . ”

Azell Karzark was a human, who had killed Atein once before .  Azell was a mere human that hadn’t reached immortality .  It was the first time a mere mortal had bested Atein .

He was too dangerous to left alone .  Atein had to subdue and acquire him at all cost .  If Atein couldn’t have him, Azell had to be killed .

Almarick asked the question as if he was having a hard time understanding Atein .

“Your past self ordered us not to kill them . ”

The past Atein wanted to subdue Azell .  He had wanted to tether Azell to the Great Darkness, and if possible, he wanted to keep Azell’s party alive .  However, the revived Atein wanted to kill them all .  It was quite confusing .

Atein put on a smile .

“It can’t be helped .  My past self can’t make the same judgment as my current self .  Since a mistake could derail my plans, I didn’t allow my past self to achieve my goals at all cost .  I made it so that my past self maintained the status quo . ”

This was why the past Atein had tried to subdue Azell, and he didn’t try to mess with anyone else .  It would be great if he could have left behind detailed instructions, but Atein could only freely interact with his reincarnations .

“However, it is something I insisted on doing, so I have to bear the consequences .  I am thankful that I was relatively successful in overcoming death .  I guess it is a luxury to expect more blessings . ”

“Hmm .  Since your majesty had been revived, it is only a matter of time .  I do agree that Azell is a dangerous being, but… . . ”

“That isn’t true, Almarick . ”

Atein shook his head from side to side .

“I know I will be hated by the world, so I’m prepared to be hated by the world .  Azell Karzark is the knife forged by their hate .  He is a blade created to stop me . ”

Azell’s battle capability and potential was high .  However, he had grow way beyond what should have been possible for him .  He had reached the zenith in his late 20s, because he had experienced all kinds of special experience .

He had met special teachers that allowed him to maximize his abilities to the extreme .  He survived fights with powerful enemies, and he earned new opportunities .  His comrades entrusted the hope of humanity to Azell by leaving behind their superb Dragon weapons to Azell .  Atein believed the Azell really was the human chosen by this era .

“Even if I fight him with the experience I have now, victory isn’t guaranteed .  Of course, this time we’ll be fighting under different circumstances…  Still, I lost too much before I even started to move .  It’ll be hard to find a substitute . ”

“I have no idea what you are referring to . ”

Almarick became puzzled .  Atein let out a bitter laughter .

“Yuren Rizester’s last stand delayed my revival by 100 hours, and that isn’t all .  He also stole something very precioius from me . ”

“What was it?”

“It was…… . ”
