LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 98
98. Return (1)
Hyeolgok, the defensive fortress of Blood Gye Castle.
Demon warriors were gathered in front of the valley.
This was because I could see with my own eyes Lilith’s armies entering from afar.
Bergette’s warriors, who had scrambled to prevent Lilith’s troops from entering the fortress, were all wiped out.
Lilith took the lead and burned Bergette’s troops to the ground. Lilith became aware of Yuma striding behind her and took down her enemies with greater enthusiasm.
Someone approached Yuma, who was slowly moving forward.
Whisper─
The demon that came in front of Yuma immediately knelt down.
Yuma looked at the demon closely.
[Lv.89] Kara
Race: Demon
Level: 3rd level
Alignment: Good neutral
Bloodline Power: Ability Imprint
Caution: Your mind is worn out due to the external pressure you have experienced over a long period of time.
Yuma noticed the bloodline power ＜ability imprint＞ part.
This Kara is one of the awakened abilities of the imprinted family lineage.
Come to think of it, they were silver, the same color as Selene’s eyes. Her hair was also the same with platinum hair.
Kara opened her mouth.
“I heard an explanation from Archdemon King Lilith. That the benefactor killed Archdemon King Bergette and saved our Levine family and the Bergette family.”
Yuma nodded slowly.
“I heard that the head of the family passed away.”
Kara continued speaking while kneeling and lowering her head.
“Sister, you will not blame your benefactor. You will only be grateful for mercy. That is the same for me and our family, Levine. Our family remembers mercy and grace.”
Yuma nodded slowly this time and then moved forward. Kara walked next to Yuma and walked together.
Yuma cleared his mind. What should I do?
‘You don’t have to.’
I got everything I got.
＜Imprint of Flash＞ and ＜Blood of the Great Demon King＞. Now all that was left to do was return to Middle-earth. But I wanted to tie the knot.
Yuma looked at Kara who was walking next to him. Next to her Kar A, Belle was silently guarding him as if guarding him.
Yuma looked at Kara.
“Your Levian family will rule over this land of Bergette.”
Kara opened her eyes wide.
“yes?”
Yuma ignored Kara’s question for a moment and walked towards Lilith.
“How long will it take for Levian to reach the level it was before when it was a member of the Demon Lord?”
Lilith tilted her head.
“Even including non-bloodline awakened members, the current number of people in the imprint family is not that large… so I can’t even guess. I don’t know about the Demon King’s family, but it would take about a hundred years to reach a stable position as a family in this demon world.”
Yuma walked side by side with Lilith and opened his mouth again.
“Isn’t a hundred years not a very long time in your time?”
Lilith nodded slowly.
“That’s right…it’s not that long…?”
Lilith felt something cold in Yuma’s words.
“I hope the imprint family Levian rules this land.”
“hmm?”
“And I hope you will unite with the Levian family. For one hundred years.”
Lilith’s eyes widened.
“Union?”
“Yes, you could call it an alliance. It means protecting the Levian family from being eaten by other families for a hundred years.”
Lilith stopped for a moment. Because right now, there was a crazy guy right next to him who was telling the Great Demon King to devote countless hours to other families.
“I know it’s an unreasonable request, but I hope you do.”
Lilith’s eyes widened.
This is because he said he knew it was an unreasonable request, but he said it without the slightest hesitation.
Yuma walked side by side with Lilith and continued talking.
“If the engraved family can completely absorb everything in this land of the Great Demon King, the Blood World Castle, no matter how small the number of people is, it will not collapse so easily.”
Yuma said while looking around. Numerous demonic beasts were seen in the Great Demon Castle of Bergette. The first rank demon beasts are one of the main attack troops of the Great Demon Castle.
There seemed to be hundreds of demon beasts locked up in a huge cage with iron cages. If these were properly attributed to each family, it would be enough to prevent the invasion of a considerable number of demonic families.
‘But it is also true that a reliable shield is needed.’
This is the demon world.
If you leave this time, you may never return. However, there is no way to bring the imprint family to Middle Earth. There’s no need for that. Selene, who was the head of the family to begin with, is the only person who can engrave an imprint on a human. She said that once she imprinted on a human, she might be able to imprint on a human again a few years later.
Yuma knew that what he was doing was nothing but hypocrisy.
“It means that I hope that you and Purgatory Castle will become the backbone of the Gakin family while the Gakin family regains its original position.”
“…Is this an order or a request?”
Lilith asked humorously, keeping her walking speed constant.
We are not looking at each other right now. Both were walking facing forward. Yumada opened her mouth and answered.
“Please, why am I giving orders? I’m not going to stay in the demon world forever.”
Yuma looked at Lilith. She was not as strange as her temperament or speech. The alignment is ‘neutral’, but in the first place, in this land of the law of the jungle called the Demon World, it would be strange if he maintained his good disposition while reaching the rank of ＜Great Demon King＞.
Lilith slowly opened her mouth.
“Is it a sense of debt? To Selene?”
“There is no such thing. I killed Bergette with my own hands and there is no need to feel such things.”
Is it a feeling of debt?
Yuma asked himself as he answered.
“I just don’t want to see the Gamjin family that has survived so easily being swayed by powerful people again.”
Lilith responded to Yuma’s words.
“That’s right. If the main woman leaves, leaving only these people behind in this blood system castle, there will be people targeting this blood system castle before even a month has passed.”
Lilith seemed to have something to think about for a moment, closed her mouth and walked away.
“Well, okay. If we release the contract with the Bergette family on the core of this blood castle. If we make it entirely belong to the Levine family, the powerful magic power of the Bergette family that exists in this blood castle will protect the Levine family. “It will grow quickly enough to become an alliance, if not an alliance.”
Yuma nodded.
“That will do.”
“…Are you obediently trusting the original woman?”
Lilith tilted her head.
Yuma spoke again.
“You never lied.”
Yuma recalled the look in Lilith’s eyes as she looked at the dying Selene. What she could see from the expression on her face that she could see with the naked eye was clear compassion. And there was a person close to Lilith who boldly told Yuma that if he had been killed by this time, he would have been killed, but that he never had a slave family.
‘The guy who told me to eat the monster meat was also him.’
I remember that it looked exactly like an ogre, but I couldn’t remember its name.
“And we can at least look at changing the contract of this land’s core to the Levian bloodline.”
Lilith nodded.
“Yes, two days would be enough if the main woman were to cover the magical power required for it.”
“Then all I had to do was watch it. What happened next was beyond me.”
Lilith chuckled.
“I will put my honor on the line and treat the Levian family as equals to my kingdom.”
Yuma said slyly.
“Yes, but in about 10 years, there will be a way or something to come back to the demon world, so we can check then.”
Lilith’s body trembled.
“Ma, if in 10 years the main girl is doing something a little naughty, what are you going to do then?”
Yuma looked at Lilith for a moment with blue eyes.
“Well, maybe it’ll have to be then.”
Lilith’s red hair shook violently.
Lilith imagined a huge murderous figure emerging from Yuma’s back, even though Yuma had not done anything.
Now, the person who felt the most absurd during this march was none other than Kara, who would soon become the head of the Levian family.
I just quietly walked next to Yuma.
However, he became the person who was scheduled to become the owner of this blood castle. And he formed an alliance with Lilith, one of the five great demon kings of the demon world.
“…Is this all…are you sincere in everything you two said?”
“I’m serious.”
Yuma literally meant it, so he told the truth.
And the woman’s voice that followed was a bit harsh.
“Yes! I’m serious! Didn’t this guy just declare to my wife that he would come to kill me in 10 years if I didn’t keep his word!”
Yuma spoke to Kara while ignoring Lilith.
“Categorize those who need to be killed and those who are irrelevant. Decide whether Bergette’s immediate descendants should be killed or not.”
“…Are you killing Yuma?”
Yuma shook his head at Kara’s words. Because she doesn’t need to kill them.
“Killing them must be done by the hands of the Levian family. If I intend to kill them, I will make it so that nothing can stop me from doing so.”
Kara answered heavily.
“I understand. Yuma.”
“Leven Ehendel.”
Kara opened her eyes wide.
“Selene’s last words to me. What do they mean?”
Kara spoke quietly.
“It means wishing for well-being in the engraved language… It also contains respect and respect for the person being inscribed.”
Yuma nodded slowly and walked forward.
As expected, the meaning was no different.
