Diego slows down and speaks quietly now.
“My name is Diego Kanon Ijeishka and I am a reincarnation of the legendary hero Kanon! Graduates of the hero academy who are in Azeishion have been called back to Gairadeite and tomorrow we will begin our campaign preparations.” (Diego)
No matter how much magic you use these preparations are way too quick. It’s obvious that they were prepared for war already but most people won’t care about such things.
Unless you are actually caught up in a war you won’t really have any deep feelings on the matter beyond perhaps worrying about yourself.
“Justice is on our side! Victory to the demon king subjugation force!!” (Diego)
*Uooooooh!!* Soldiers raise their voices and yell out.
“The judgment of the heavens will fall on those foolish mazoku! Victory to us heroes!!” (Diego)
*Uooooooh!!* The soldiers shouted again.
The demon king academy students who were watching started grumbling quietly.
“What are these guys saying….? Are they sane? Are they really intending to go to war…..”
“Aah. I have my doubts about their sanity……”
It’s a reasonable line of thought, however, there are many who are frightened. If it really is a war between Azeshion and Deiruheido they are already captured.
While listening I received a <Liikus>.
“Can you hear?” (Misha)
“Aah. Did you hear the broadcast?” (Arnos)
“Yes. Where are you?” (Misha)
“In the 3rd dormitory. Its currently surrounded by a barrier and soldiers. It’s best if you don’t return here. The soldiers outside will be trying to arrest the students so be careful.” (Arnos)
“I’ll be okay.” (Misha)
Well, it would be impossible for a human soldier to capture Misha anyway.
“Are the others together?” (Arnos)
“Sasha is with me. The others are doing their own things.” (Misha)
Weren’t they saying something about a festival earlier?
“Thought Obstruction <Edoro> is being used but it’s interfering with <Liikus> making it difficult to communicate with Ray.” (Misha)
Ray is no good with magic and Misa has weak magic power. With the both of them using <Edoro> sending and receiving anything via <Liikus> will be troublesome.
“Ray and Misa are together so there’s no problem leaving them alone. Look for the fan union first.” (Arnos)
“Okay.” (Misha)
Another <Liikus> reaches me.
“If anything happens contact me again.” (Arnos)
“Nn.” (Misha)
I end the <Liikus > with Misha and respond to the one from Deiruheido.
“What’s up Melheys?” (Arnos)
“Things have become troublesome.” (Melheys)
Through <Liikus> Melheys sends me a <Rimnet> and projects it in front of me.
“I am Avos Dillheavia.”
The masked mazoku was there along with the 3 elder demon lords Eldora, Zoro and Medin who were showing their loyalty by kneeling.
“What’s going on?” (Arnos)
“This is being broadcast all over Deiruheido. Medin, Zoro and Eldora have just announced they have discovered the reincarnation of the demon king of tyranny.” (Melheys)
If the old seven demon emperors are saying so then the people will believe it.
“I have returned my descendants.” (Avos)
Avos speaks in a powerful voice.
“2000 years ago I sacrificed myself and divided the world into four to end the great war. That was the best way to bring about peace and the most merciful way so as not to destroy the humans.” (Avos)
Medin casts <Rimnet> and broadcasts what was just seen in Azeshion. All of Deiruheido watches Deigo’s speech.
After it ended the masked man speaks.
“Until today those guys said that the spirit god sword was for destroying me. In this peaceful world, they have practised techniques for killing mazoku and strengthed their armaments in the name of the hero academy. You have forgotten the war. You have forgotten your grudge against the humans but the humans have not changed in 2000 years.” (Avos)
The plain facts he is delivering come with some weight.
“I was wrong. 1000 years, 2000 years, the humans real nature hasn’t changed. They fear, discriminate against and kill anything different from themselves. They are ugly, stupid and beyond saving.” (Avos)
Avos raises his right hand.
“The time has come to correct my 2000-year-old mistake. Gather to my cause those of you who are strong. Entrust your lives and your backs to me.” (Avos)
A holy light gathers around the masked man’s right hand and turns into Evans Mana.
“This is their greatest weapon. Evans Mana was created to destroy me yet it is in my hand. There is nothing to fear. Entrust me with your all my descendants and I shall protect your lives and fulfil my oath. Run with me across the battlefield and destroy those stupid humans!” (Avos)
It smells. That bloody smell I smelled many times. A battle is about to begin.
The great war I should have left behind 2000 years ago has come again.
