「Paravata the Historical Ruins……..?」
「Yes. It was at that place I saw a glimpse of both Nana-san’s figure and the Divine Corpse」
We were sitting at this huge round stump table made out of wood, moreover we enjoyed the meal created by both the dark elves (with the help of Amelia’s cooking skills) while listening to Sistina’s dream prophecy.
A mixture of meat, vegetables and mushrooms along with fruit, it was a bountiful and extravagant meal freely making use of fresh ingredients, the combination created nice balance and delicacy.
「Eh? You are talking about that “Paravata”!?」
「Do you know the place, Nina?」
「Of course I’ve heard about it, If you are an adventurer it is a highly ranked location that anyone would like to step foot into at least once. It is known as an ancient historical ruins that houses a heap of hidden treasures! Big and small dungeons and even underground temples are being discovered all the time, several of these places are said to contain precious books and artifacts that existed even before the devil war occurred!」
「Fumu, considering that it is related to the devil king’s war…….There is bound to be some connection with the Divine Corpse」
Palmyra muttered in a serious tone (But the fragments of food on her mouth and lips messed up her dignified look).
Thousands of years ago…..he was considered the absolute strongest man in the entire devildom, capable of uniting the demons he was the highest ranked “Devil King”.
The demon king was accompanied by his hordes of demons who all obeyed his will, and they aggressively invaded the world of humans. In those days most of the human nations that existed were destroyed. Even if high ranking demons were the ones to commence the assault, the humans would already be hard pressed to retaliate, considering that it was the demon king capable of splitting the seas and blowing away the mountains with his overwhelming power, the humans didn’t stand a chance.
That’s right……Except for the existence of the “Hero” who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
「And, what kind of person was he? this so called “hero” that was able to confront the demon king with a human’s body」
「The thing is almost no records remain. The origins, gender, age and even fighting style of the hero are all unknown….」
「Then, I suppose it means that there is a possibility that person was just like me and or Himeno-san; a person from a different world?」
If I am not mistaken, the “manager” who transmigrated us here told us that…… it has been several hundred years, before the last transmigration.
In that case, there is a good possibility that several thousands of years ago, someone was able to obtain the rare job “Hero” just like how I obtained my job as the Slavemancer. Although, it may not always be the case that the person transmigrated originated from earth.
「The fight between the hero and the devil king continued until they both perished, and it was a fight that scorched the skies in flames and changed the geographical features of the land. It goes without saying that normal men could not even put up a fight against the three archdukes who are ranked second. And being able to survive in such a place filled with peril was not something anybody could do so recording such an event was next to impossible jya」
「Fuu~,I don’t really get what’s going on but, it seems really amazing! Heyy hey, Sistina, can I have more of this sweet stuff?」
「Oh, you want some more? Then I will pour you some」
「Yayy, Thank you Amelia!」
The only one who couldn’t feel the tension in her surroundings was Flamia.
Before I noticed it, it would seem that she has gotten along really well, with both Amelia and Princess Sistina. Or more like, did she get tamed by food?
「Reaching a draw in their fight, the traces and vestiges were erased from this world for all eternity……That’s the legends of what has been passed down from the Dark elf and Elf Tribes. Even in the Demon World, is that the same legend that is told?」(Dianne Speaking)
「Umu, that’s the gist of it jya. The three grand dukes and the eight great families tried to search for any hints in regards to the Demon King, for hundreds of years, but at the end, they could not find anything」(Palmyra speaking)
Dianne asked Palmyra this question in a quiet voice and Palmyra answered the question with a nod.
「So, the inheritance that has thrown the demon world into chaos is the corpse of the demon king….. the fragments of the “Divine Corpse”? 」
