Ceraes Justor. After losing his parents to a demon, this man was raised in an orphanage and adopted by the cleric who ran it and took the family name Justor.
I am not interested in the birth or life of this man, but this story is a big obstacle for me. This is because this man has abandoned the original name given to him by his parents and cannot be subjected to the power of "Kagome".
You can't use it against the most important people, including the demon kings who were formed at the cost of the name. ....... It's a power that can be used to puppet people by simply calling them by name, but it's not as easy to use as you might think. If it is possible to do so, I alone can bring both Arcreal and Rahite to their knees.
I'm not used to fighting so I get tired very fast. How about you?
There was no reply from Ceraes as they fought. I'm sure you'll be able to find some anger or hatred in my heart. ...... It's hard for me to keep up with you when you keep going at it like this.
It seems to be no good. I'm not sure what to make of this.
The only way to win is for Purple to win. ......
It's hard to hear clearly in the midst of the brawl, but it seems that the merchant's van had already surveyed the chapel entrance before he knew it. I've heard that you used to be a member of a high profile adventuring team, but it's great that you're still doing what you need to do even at a time like this.
(And what about you, Duvraeus? (What about you, Duvraeus? Have you finished what you had to do?
(I have roughly analyzed the spear's properties. But I've only reconfirmed the current situation, and there is no way to deactivate it except by proper means: ......)
(I've already given up on that. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to make of it.
If it was a fighting technique, you could come up with a way or two to break through, but the spear is the rule itself. It would be difficult to break a rule that is forced to be obeyed with half-hearted means.
What I found out after the fight was that I was behind Serraes in magic enhancement and spear techniques. I was a little confident, but if this is the case, I should have trained a little more diligently.
Another thing is that if you change the shape of the spear to some extent, it will not be considered as a spear and will be blocked by the wards. It's frustrating that you can't make use of the characteristics of a spear made of demons.
I'm not sure what to do. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who'd like to know more about this.
(That's the only way ......! I'll think of a way out of this, so please wait a little longer!
(Just kidding? I'm not against self-sacrifice, but I'd rather die in his arms.
As long as I'm a demon king who has been cursed with resurrection magic, I will be resurrected when I die. But it will be years or decades later. If there is a guarantee that he will still be alive at that time, I can offer him this life without hesitation. But he is fragile and could die at any moment. If I were to die, the chances of seeing him again would be slim to none, and that would be a farewell for this life.
Living my life with him is a precious thing that cannot be replaced, and I will not give it up without a fight. Even if Ceraes bought time as he wanted, he would think of a way to win until the end. We have to analyze the situation calmly, right?
I know that Ceraes has more skill with a spear than I do right now. But if I win this battle, then what awaits me is defeat against Wolfe. Then there's a possibility that you'll retreat after killing me, right? As long as you can buy enough time, you can choose not to finish the job. ...... I'm sure you'd rather do that.
I've got an idea that I'd like to try, so I'm going to step away and get closer to the Wolfe's. Serraes doesn't seem to be closing the distance. I guess you can consult all you want.
"Van, my right arm is a little injured, isn't it? Can you heal it with magic?
"Okay. Okay. ......?
When Van tried to cast a healing spell, it created a boundary between us. You can't even accept backup or help. But then again, I'm a demon king, so normal magical healing won't work on me.
Thank you, can you confirm one thing? Wolfe, can you hold this spear for me?
"Yes, yes!
Throw the spear to Wolfe and construct another spear out of the jewel-like demon. You don't have to worry so much about the hardness, but the problem is the weight. If it's as heavy as it looks, my arms will get tired.
It's ready. Give me back the spear.
"Here you go!
While stepping forward, she caught the spear that Wolfe had thrown and held it with both her left and right arms. If you have two spears, you should probably make them different lengths to clarify their roles. ...... Well, no problem.
"Two spears. I'm sure you're not very good at it, seeing as how you didn't use it from the start.
I'm not sure. I'm sure you're not the best at it.
I stepped in and thrust out one of the spears to test it. I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time and money.
I said it was a plan.
I told you it was a plan.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. But there is no rule that says you can only use a spear to prevent a spear.
(You've prepared enough, right? Duvraeori, prepare for what I'm about to say.
(Enough preparation, Duvraeori? Prepare for what I'm about to tell you.)" He instructed Duvraeori, and once again he engaged Ceraes. It seems that if I change my shield back into a spear, the attack will go through, but if I'm in the middle of the change, the wards will block it. If you do it right in front of him, he'll be able to see you switch between attack and defence, and you'll be even further away from a decisive victory.
You're not going to beat them head on, are you?
You deploy your shield just large enough to cover yourself and thrust it into the ground. He then lets go of the shield and immediately forms a new spear. He then lets go of the shield and immediately forms a new spear. He thrusts the spear through the blind spot inside the shield and returns the shield to the spear just as it hits the shield.
"Blinding, useless.
Ceraes didn't seem to be struggling much, but he was able to parry the blow of the spear that suddenly appeared. That's all you can do with a one-handed spear. But this is what it's all about.
We won't know if it's useless until we keep trying, right?
By switching to a more irregular approach, Ceraes's number of moves was decreasing. Although he is able to respond, he is probably being cautious in case he has to. The aim is for him to get used to this method of attack at the right moment, and until then, he has to keep attacking with all his might. We will increase the number of spears, and repeatedly switch to shields as we attack.
"What a stupid plan. Did you think I wouldn't be able to figure out that kind of nonsense?
What?
"It looks like you're just attacking me with more spears, but there are more spears intentionally left around me. You intend to transform them into shields and reduce the space I have to evade.
Ceraes made a large horizontal cleave, flicking my spear away from the ground. It's a shame, because I could have almost prevented the escape routes to the left, right, front and back.
It's a shame, because it would have prevented me from escaping left and right.
I've already seen the extent of your magical enhancement. I've already seen the extent of your magical enhancements, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you get away with it.
So, why don't you try to avoid this blow?
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It is a blow that I have used all of the maximum magical power I can muster in this thrust.
I told you I saw it coming.
Our spears cross. My spear passed by Ceraes' face, and his spear plunged deep into my right shoulder. My thrust was completely read, and I was met with a clean counterattack.
What?
The length of time you and I have spent training is different. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
...... Well, you can't deny it in the slightest, can you? But how can I speak for others? I'm sure you're not the only one.
What?
I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try. But that's not why I'm pointing my left hand at her. It's a landmark, a target for her.
I wasn't the only one who couldn't see Serraes due to the blind spot of the shield, but also Ulfe and Duvraeori who were behind him. If he had dodged my spear and looked to my left hand when he was able to focus on his surroundings, he would have seen me.
You can see Duvraeori pointing his spear at Ceraes, and Wolfe swinging his fist behind him.
"Let's go!
At the same time as Wolfe's shout, his left hand was pierced by a spear flying from behind. The momentum of the spear never stopped, and it pierced Serraes' chest.
What I wanted to confirm was whether he could catch the spear thrown by his companion. When I found out that it was possible from my earlier exchange with Wolfe, I decided to go ahead with this method.
Serraes could not avoid Ulfe's blow. The same goes for the spear launched by that blow. However, if I hit it directly, it would be considered an attack by Wolfe and would be blocked by the wards. So I relayed my left hand. If I could catch the spear and thrust it at Ceraes, the wards would not work.
Well, there was no way I could catch a spear that even Ceraes could not avoid, so I instructed him to pierce my left hand.
"My Lord! Are you alright?
"...... You idiot, how can you be safe?
Duvraeori came running at once. Duvraeori had control over the direction in which the spear was flung. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.
The right arm was only pierced by a spear. The muscle and flesh in that area is severed and the bone is broken, but ...... the left arm is terrible. You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes. I've been sweating like hell for a while now.
Serraes was blown a little further by the impact of the spear. Since the spear passed through his chest, he would normally die instantly. .......
I'm not sure what to say. How dare you?
I don't care about Ceraes' men howling behind me. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.
"You're still alive, aren't you? Aren't you, Ceraes?
"Yes.
A demon took my family. She lamented her misfortune, but looking around her at the orphanage, there were many others in the same situation.
It was not uncommon for him to learn about the traces left by the demon king and the existence of the demon world, and to become a priest. In the first place, I did not feel the need to show off that I was different from others. All he could think about was that he could not help what had happened and that he should at least try to live well in the present.
"I'm sorry, Serraes. I'm sorry, Ceraes. This is the only way ...... I can help you.
When I found out that my guardian, the Abbot, had sold the orphans, I didn't know what to resent. The Abbot who had raised me had been kind and had guided me to live on the right path. It was a world where the Director had to go down this path, but I couldn't hold a grudge. I had already realized that holding a grudge would not solve anything.
I chose to do the only thing I could. I chose to do only what I could do, so that the weak-minded would not go astray and the bad-minded would not involve others. I did what I could, plainly. Before I knew it, my hands were getting dirty and I didn't want to talk about myself to others.
"Serraes, why did you turn down the nomination for Pope? You could have ......
"My hands are too dirty to be the one who stands before you. The hands of those who hope, those who reach out, should be clean.
To maintain order, you must do the right thing. Orderly conduct alone is not enough to maintain order. I can't leave that to others. I, who can get my hands dirty, must pick up the muck of the world.
You're still alive, aren't you? Aren't you, Serraes?
I could barely hear the Demon Lord's voice, and my ears were ringing from earlier. My whole body should be hot, but it's so cold I'm shivering.
Assessing the current situation: ...... Needless to say, I was speared through the chest. The impact of the spear through the body has left irreparable damage to the rest of the chest. There is no diagnosis other than fatal wound.
Still I must stand. I've decided to protect you.
"Of course.
It's a miracle my mouth moved, a miracle my body moved, a miracle my spear is still in my hand. The world still allows me to move. I used a simple magical measure to stop the bleeding and stared at the source of the evil in front of me.
The Purple Demon Lord has also suffered a great deal of damage to the left side of his body. If he were a normal person, he wouldn't even be able to stand. But even so, I can see the strong will in his eyes.
You're lucky you didn't end up with a bedridden old man. But you're dizzy. What are you going to do? The Yggra religion wants you alive, are you going to put down your spear quietly?
"That's a stupid question. What kind of nonsense is that coming out of your mouth?
All I wanted was the fact that you urged me to surrender. I already know the answer to that question, don't I?
The Purple Demon Lord laughs. The Purple Demon Lord laughs, his every gesture incompatible and frustrating. What you see before you is the source of the disturbance in the order of this world, a solid evil. But there is something different about you from those who have been eliminating you for years.
"You created the demon world and brought chaos and tragedy to the world after you. "You created the demon world and created a lot of chaos and tragedy in the future. She is a crazy woman.
I'm sure you're aware of the impact I've had on the world through the writings left behind from this time period. It's not only the direct damage caused by the demon world and demons, but also the fact that it has caused some people to lose their minds and get involved in all kinds of evil.
It's not just the direct damage caused by the demon world and demons. You were once a human being, do you not have a human heart left?
The Purple Demon Lord closed his eyes for a moment and seemed to be asking himself a question. Then he opened his eyes and said without hesitation.
Yes, there is. But I'm not going to atone for it.
"...... What?
What do you have to atone for? Don't say life, I've already died twice. Do you want me to suffer forever? That will only fill your hearts with joy, but it won't solve anything, will it? Why should I only fill the hearts of those who hate me?
For lack of a better word, this woman is ......! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you're right. But how long are you going to use my sins as an excuse to exonerate yourselves? How long are you going to use my sins as an excuse to exonerate yourselves? I don't want to be responsible for every weakness you have fallen into. How long do you dwell on a woman who was murdered hundreds of years ago?
But you're here now, ......!
So I'm supposed to hide for the rest of my life? It's very warm, isn't it? You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. Well, if that's the case, who are you going to blame next?
She's just shirking her responsibility, there's nothing right about that. There is no difference in the fact that this woman created the demon world by her own will, killed the humans, and continues to torment them to this day.
Since we live in the same world, if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm willing to let the demon world encroach on my own, and I'm willing to let you use my demons like cattle. But that's not the only reason I'll serve you. The only reason I'm offering myself is because I want to, and I don't care about your circumstances.
This woman, this Demon Lord, has stained my life with mud, all of it. ......!
I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this. Are you saying that this is all my fault?
......!
If so, why don't we just end this worthless fight? I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
The Purple Demon Lord steps forward. He is much weaker and slower than in the previous battle. I'm not sure what to do, but I'll do my best.
If I die, everything I've worked for will be lost. If this demon king dies, will ...... all of my things be ...... rewarded? I'm not sure if killing this irresponsible woman will be enough to settle my life.
That's not ...... true!
It's not something so frivolous that just killing this woman will solve everything. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
I was not in a position to wield any skill, I just single-mindedly thrust my spear forward. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I'm sure you're aware of the impact I've had on the world through the writings left behind from this time period. It's not only the direct damage caused by the demon world and demons, but also the fact that it has caused some people to lose their minds and get involved in all kinds of evil.
It's not just the direct damage caused by the demon world and demons. You were once a human being, do you not have a human heart left?
The Purple Demon Lord closed his eyes for a moment and seemed to be asking himself a question. Then he opened his eyes and said without hesitation.
Yes, there is. But I'm not going to atone for it.
"...... What?
What do you have to atone for? Don't say life, I've already died twice. Do you want me to suffer forever? That will only fill your hearts with joy, but it won't solve anything, will it? Why should I only fill the hearts of those who hate me?
For lack of a better word, this woman is ......! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you're right. But how long are you going to use my sins as an excuse to exonerate yourselves? How long are you going to use my sins as an excuse to exonerate yourselves? I don't want to be responsible for every weakness you have fallen into. How long do you dwell on a woman who was murdered hundreds of years ago?
But you're here now, ......!
So I'm supposed to hide for the rest of my life? It's very warm, isn't it? You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. Well, if that's the case, who are you going to blame next?
She's just shirking her responsibility, there's nothing right about that. There is no difference in the fact that this woman created the demon world by her own will, killed the humans, and continues to torment them to this day.
Since we live in the same world, if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm willing to let the demon world encroach on my own, and I'm willing to let you use my demons like cattle. But that's not the only reason I'll serve you. The only reason I'm offering myself is because I want to, and I don't care about your circumstances.
This woman, this Demon Lord, has stained my life with mud, all of it. ......!
I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this. Are you saying that this is all my fault?
......!
If so, why don't we just end this worthless fight? I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
The Purple Demon Lord steps forward. He is much weaker and slower than in the previous battle. I'm not sure what to do, but I'll do my best.
If I die, everything I've worked for will be lost. If this demon king dies, will ...... all of my things be ...... rewarded? I'm not sure if killing this irresponsible woman will be enough to settle my life.
That's not ...... true!
It's not something so frivolous that just killing this woman will solve everything. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
I was not in a position to wield any skill, I just single-mindedly thrust my spear forward. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
Ceraes Justor. After losing his parents to a demon, this man was raised in an orphanage and adopted by the cleric who ran it and took the family name Justor.I am not interested in the birth or life of this man, but this story is a big obstacle for me. This is because this man has abandoned the original name given to him by his parents and cannot be subjected to the power of "Kagome".You can't use it against the most important people, including the demon kings who were formed at the cost of the name. ....... It's a power that can be used to puppet people by simply calling them by name, but it's not as easy to use as you might think. If it is possible to do so, I alone can bring both Arcreal and Rahite to their knees.I'm not used to fighting so I get tired very fast. How about you?There was no reply from Ceraes as they fought. I'm sure you'll be able to find some anger or hatred in my heart. ...... It's hard for me to keep up with you when you keep going at it like this.It seems to be no good. I'm not sure what to make of this.The only way to win is for Purple to win. ......It's hard to hear clearly in the midst of the brawl, but it seems that the merchant's van had already surveyed the chapel entrance before he knew it. I've heard that you used to be a member of a high profile adventuring team, but it's great that you're still doing what you need to do even at a time like this.And what about you, Duvraeus? What about you, Duvraeus? Have you finished what you had to do?I have roughly analyzed the spear's properties. But I've only reconfirmed the current situation, and there is no way to deactivate it except by proper means: ......I've already given up on that. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to make of it.If it was a fighting technique, you could come up with a way or two to break through, but the spear is the rule itself. It would be difficult to break a rule that is forced to be obeyed with half-hearted means.What I found out after the fight was that I was behind Serraes in magic enhancement and spear techniques. I was a little confident, but if this is the case, I should have trained a little more diligently.Another thing is that if you change the shape of the spear to some extent, it will not be considered as a spear and will be blocked by the wards. It's frustrating that you can't make use of the characteristics of a spear made of demons.I'm not sure what to do. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who'd like to know more about this.That's the only way ......! I'll think of a way out of this, so please wait a little longer!Just kidding? I'm not against self-sacrifice, but I'd rather die in his arms.As long as I'm a demon king who has been cursed with resurrection magic, I will be resurrected when I die. But it will be years or decades later. If there is a guarantee that he will still be alive at that time, I can offer him this life without hesitation. But he is fragile and could die at any moment. If I were to die, the chances of seeing him again would be slim to none, and that would be a farewell for this life.Living my life with him is a precious thing that cannot be replaced, and I will not give it up without a fight. Even if Ceraes bought time as he wanted, he would think of a way to win until the end. We have to analyze the situation calmly, right?I know that Ceraes has more skill with a spear than I do right now. But if I win this battle, then what awaits me is defeat against Wolfe. Then there's a possibility that you'll retreat after killing me, right? As long as you can buy enough time, you can choose not to finish the job. ...... I'm sure you'd rather do that.I've got an idea that I'd like to try, so I'm going to step away and get closer to the Wolfe's. Serraes doesn't seem to be closing the distance. I guess you can consult all you want."Van, my right arm is a little injured, isn't it? Can you heal it with magic?"Okay. Okay. ......?When Van tried to cast a healing spell, it created a boundary between us. You can't even accept backup or help. But then again, I'm a demon king, so normal magical healing won't work on me.Thank you, can you confirm one thing? Wolfe, can you hold this spear for me?"Yes, yes!Throw the spear to Wolfe and construct another spear out of the jewel-like demon. You don't have to worry so much about the hardness, but the problem is the weight. If it's as heavy as it looks, my arms will get tired.It's ready. Give me back the spear."Here you go!While stepping forward, she caught the spear that Wolfe had thrown and held it with both her left and right arms. If you have two spears, you should probably make them different lengths to clarify their roles. ...... Well, no problem."Two spears. I'm sure you're not very good at it, seeing as how you didn't use it from the start.I'm not sure. I'm sure you're not the best at it.I stepped in and thrust out one of the spears to test it. I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time and money.I said it was a plan.I told you it was a plan.I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. But there is no rule that says you can only use a spear to prevent a spear.You've prepared enough, right? Duvraeori, prepare for what I'm about to say.Enough preparation, Duvraeori? Prepare for what I'm about to tell you." He instructed Duvraeori, and once again he engaged Ceraes. It seems that if I change my shield back into a spear, the attack will go through, but if I'm in the middle of the change, the wards will block it. If you do it right in front of him, he'll be able to see you switch between attack and defence, and you'll be even further away from a decisive victory.You're not going to beat them head on, are you?You deploy your shield just large enough to cover yourself and thrust it into the ground. He then lets go of the shield and immediately forms a new spear. He then lets go of the shield and immediately forms a new spear. He thrusts the spear through the blind spot inside the shield and returns the shield to the spear just as it hits the shield."Blinding, useless.Ceraes didn't seem to be struggling much, but he was able to parry the blow of the spear that suddenly appeared. That's all you can do with a one-handed spear. But this is what it's all about.We won't know if it's useless until we keep trying, right?By switching to a more irregular approach, Ceraes's number of moves was decreasing. Although he is able to respond, he is probably being cautious in case he has to. The aim is for him to get used to this method of attack at the right moment, and until then, he has to keep attacking with all his might. We will increase the number of spears, and repeatedly switch to shields as we attack."What a stupid plan. Did you think I wouldn't be able to figure out that kind of nonsense?What?"It looks like you're just attacking me with more spears, but there are more spears intentionally left around me. You intend to transform them into shields and reduce the space I have to evade.Ceraes made a large horizontal cleave, flicking my spear away from the ground. It's a shame, because I could have almost prevented the escape routes to the left, right, front and back.It's a shame, because it would have prevented me from escaping left and right.I've already seen the extent of your magical enhancement. I've already seen the extent of your magical enhancements, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you get away with it.So, why don't you try to avoid this blow?I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It is a blow that I have used all of the maximum magical power I can muster in this thrust.I told you I saw it coming.Our spears cross. My spear passed by Ceraes' face, and his spear plunged deep into my right shoulder. My thrust was completely read, and I was met with a clean counterattack.What?The length of time you and I have spent training is different. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it....... Well, you can't deny it in the slightest, can you? But how can I speak for others? I'm sure you're not the only one.What?I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try. But that's not why I'm pointing my left hand at her. It's a landmark, a target for her.I wasn't the only one who couldn't see Serraes due to the blind spot of the shield, but also Ulfe and Duvraeori who were behind him. If he had dodged my spear and looked to my left hand when he was able to focus on his surroundings, he would have seen me.You can see Duvraeori pointing his spear at Ceraes, and Wolfe swinging his fist behind him."Let's go!At the same time as Wolfe's shout, his left hand was pierced by a spear flying from behind. The momentum of the spear never stopped, and it pierced Serraes' chest.What I wanted to confirm was whether he could catch the spear thrown by his companion. When I found out that it was possible from my earlier exchange with Wolfe, I decided to go ahead with this method.Serraes could not avoid Ulfe's blow. The same goes for the spear launched by that blow. However, if I hit it directly, it would be considered an attack by Wolfe and would be blocked by the wards. So I relayed my left hand. If I could catch the spear and thrust it at Ceraes, the wards would not work.Well, there was no way I could catch a spear that even Ceraes could not avoid, so I instructed him to pierce my left hand."My Lord! Are you alright?"...... You idiot, how can you be safe?Duvraeori came running at once. Duvraeori had control over the direction in which the spear was flung. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.The right arm was only pierced by a spear. The muscle and flesh in that area is severed and the bone is broken, but ...... the left arm is terrible. You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes. I've been sweating like hell for a while now.Serraes was blown a little further by the impact of the spear. Since the spear passed through his chest, he would normally die instantly. .......I'm not sure what to say. How dare you?I don't care about Ceraes' men howling behind me. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them."You're still alive, aren't you? Aren't you, Ceraes?"Yes.A demon took my family. She lamented her misfortune, but looking around her at the orphanage, there were many others in the same situation.It was not uncommon for him to learn about the traces left by the demon king and the existence of the demon world, and to become a priest. In the first place, I did not feel the need to show off that I was different from others. All he could think about was that he could not help what had happened and that he should at least try to live well in the present."I'm sorry, Serraes. I'm sorry, Ceraes. This is the only way ...... I can help you.When I found out that my guardian, the Abbot, had sold the orphans, I didn't know what to resent. The Abbot who had raised me had been kind and had guided me to live on the right path. It was a world where the Director had to go down this path, but I couldn't hold a grudge. I had already realized that holding a grudge would not solve anything.I chose to do the only thing I could. I chose to do only what I could do, so that the weak-minded would not go astray and the bad-minded would not involve others. I did what I could, plainly. Before I knew it, my hands were getting dirty and I didn't want to talk about myself to others."Serraes, why did you turn down the nomination for Pope? You could have ......"My hands are too dirty to be the one who stands before you. The hands of those who hope, those who reach out, should be clean.To maintain order, you must do the right thing. Orderly conduct alone is not enough to maintain order. I can't leave that to others. I, who can get my hands dirty, must pick up the muck of the world.You're still alive, aren't you? Aren't you, Serraes?I could barely hear the Demon Lord's voice, and my ears were ringing from earlier. My whole body should be hot, but it's so cold I'm shivering.Assessing the current situation: ...... Needless to say, I was speared through the chest. The impact of the spear through the body has left irreparable damage to the rest of the chest. There is no diagnosis other than fatal wound.Still I must stand. I've decided to protect you."Of course.It's a miracle my mouth moved, a miracle my body moved, a miracle my spear is still in my hand. The world still allows me to move. I used a simple magical measure to stop the bleeding and stared at the source of the evil in front of me.The Purple Demon Lord has also suffered a great deal of damage to the left side of his body. If he were a normal person, he wouldn't even be able to stand. But even so, I can see the strong will in his eyes.You're lucky you didn't end up with a bedridden old man. But you're dizzy. What are you going to do? The Yggra religion wants you alive, are you going to put down your spear quietly?"That's a stupid question. What kind of nonsense is that coming out of your mouth?All I wanted was the fact that you urged me to surrender. I already know the answer to that question, don't I?The Purple Demon Lord laughs. The Purple Demon Lord laughs, his every gesture incompatible and frustrating. What you see before you is the source of the disturbance in the order of this world, a solid evil. But there is something different about you from those who have been eliminating you for years."You created the demon world and brought chaos and tragedy to the world after you. "You created the demon world and created a lot of chaos and tragedy in the future. She is a crazy woman.I'm sure you're aware of the impact I've had on the world through the writings left behind from this time period.

Do you want me to suffer forever? That will only fill your hearts with joy, but it won't solve anything, will it? Why should I only fill the hearts of those who hate me?For lack of a better word, this woman is ......!
