Chapter Four: When Life Dies
My name is Akalete. I am a "demon king" with bloody hands, killing more monsters than humans, and ruling the entire demon world, making all monsters surrender to themselves and possessing threatening power.
And it is also the 23rd generation of demon kings in Demon King City, the strongest demon king in history. I have an appearance that is almost exactly the same as humans, and it is also different from most monsters. I don’t like blood and killing, but sometimes when I’m excited, I will unconsciously and selflessly start killing.
I apologize to you solemnly, the lord of the southern Demon Realm who I don’t know what it is. Although you don’t know where you die now, I really didn’t intend to kill you and your hundreds of thousands of subordinates at the beginning. Of course, I also know that apologizing now is useless, but I am trying to be at ease.
I am just 300 years old this year. Although I like beauty, I am still a virgin and have no interest in conquering the human world. My interests are different from most monsters. They like fighting and killing, but I have a special liking for things like shopping, taking naps.
Actually, I don’t have the memories of the past. When I had them, I was fifty years old. At that time, I was still a minor boy, and I already had an amazingly powerful force at that time. I didn’t know where my power came from.
And at that time, I was attacked by a large number of monsters because I looked almost exactly like a human, and also attacked by a large number of humans because of my monster identity... Of course, at that time, I used the powerful force I had to kill many humans and monsters.
Moreover, I have never had any feelings, whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, or arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, greed, greed, and lust, or worship, vanity, emptiness, depression, boredom, loneliness, excitement, excitement, etc., even the seven emotions and six desires that humans have, I don’t have.
At that time, I was completely different from being a creature without any emotion. I was a killing weapon that only knew how to kill. At that time, I only knew to use my powerful power to keep killing. Whether it was a monster or a human, all the guys who dared to offend me could be killed completely.
Blood, and the face that was distorted by fear, looking at the expressions that were revealed by the monsters killed by themselves and humans before they died, I felt a little high in my heart for a moment, but that was just a flash in the pan. After that, I continued to repeat this kind of life day after day, year after year.
At that time, when the 22nd generation of the Demon King City of the Demon King had just passed away, the entire Demon King World fell into a super chaotic situation where there were no heads. All kinds of powerful monsters began to emerge after the 22nd generation of the Demon King died, fighting against each other to fight for the supreme throne of the Demon King.
The scene was extremely chaotic and dangerous at that time. Because of my invincibility, cruelty and tyranny, after slaughtering countless monsters and humans, I don’t know when, including all humans and monsters, everyone began to call me the Demon King with fear and respect.
All humans are afraid of me, and all monsters obey my will. Nothing in this world can resist me. Even the strongest demon dragon in the demon world, which was claimed to be the most promising to become the 23rd generation of demon kings in the Demon King City, was slapped by me.
The dragon meat was roasted and eaten directly, while the dragon bones were made into various furniture by other monsters or famous craftsmen captured from the human world. Since then, the entire demon world has voluntarily surrendered to my feet. I was even called "Demon King of Annihilation" by my subordinates in fear, which means annihilation and destroying everything.
Everything must be as I wish. Once something is not as good as I wish, I will start killing without hesitation. But I live a very boring life every day because I have become the strongest in the demon world without realizing it. No one dares to cause trouble for me. Once I hear my news, no matter whether it is true or false, I will immediately run away.
One day, fifty years after I was pushed to the throne of the Demon King, when I was one hundred years old, I heard a very interesting rumor that people chose a man named Brave and sent him to kill me. Since then, "Rare" aroused a little interest in me.
But the first brave man was killed by me and was no match for me at all. The opponent had no time to make a move. I just used one move to kill the first brave man to ashes. It was so disappointing. Is the only level of the brave man in humanity?
Just having the power to kill a few low-level monsters, I dared to call myself a brave man and plan to come and kill me? It was so ignorant... After that, a large number of brave men were sent one after another, with about 200 people, and of course I also killed them all.
The strongest one died just after taking three moves under my hands... Since then, I have lost all my confidence in the brave, and in the human world, there seems to be no more sending even a brave man to seek death because the brave is not the opponent of the demon king.
However, one day, it was also when I was 285 years old, fifteen years ago that I had a nightmare, a very terrifying nightmare, a girl brave man wearing silver armor and beautiful golden long hair, and a charming face that seemed to charm all living beings, fifteen years later, that is, when I was 300 years old, I would come to attack myself.
Finally, after a death fight between the two, I, the Demon King, died under the golden sword in the hands of the beautiful girl brave. My limbs were cut off by the other party, my head was raised directly into the sky, and my blood spilled on the ground... My body was evaporated by the golden light, and I was dead.
Because of this terrifying nightmare I had never had before, I woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night. At that time, I was covered in sweat of fear and my body was trembling constantly... But this was not entirely because of this nightmare, there was a more important reason.
That is, after I found myself having feelings. After spending two hundred and eighty-five years of emotionally unresponsive life, I woke up in this nightmare and found myself having feelings. From then on, I began to laugh happily, cry sadly, and be dazed or bored.
Whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, greed, greed, lust, etc., or worship, vanity, emptiness, depression, boredom, loneliness, excitement, excitement, etc., even the seven emotions and six desires that humans have, I have all of them after I wake up.
At the same time, I began to regret it, and felt very regretful about what I had done before...... The blood of monsters and humans, screams, fear, sadness, crying children, sea of fire, when I thought of what I had done before, I cried and cried very sadly. I locked in my room and ignored anything and cried alone until dawn.
——Why can’t I have these feelings earlier? Why did I give these feelings after two hundred and eighty-five years, after I did so many mistakes? If I could know what I did mean when I just had my memories, I would never...
"When life dies, it's very...sad."
It was too late when I understood this truth. At that time, I had no way back. I had become the most ferocious and terrifying demon king whom all human beings hate the most and wished to get rid of it. Even if I don’t want to admit it, the human world will never let me go.
One day, I was in a good mood and went out for a walk alone without telling my subordinates. I met a human being attacked by a monster with a lion-shaped appearance. They were three people, two adults and one child, and it was obvious that they were a family of three. My hands were covered in blood. As a demon king, I couldn't bear to see them die and helped them after seeing this scene.
But I took action one step slower. Before I took action to kill the lion monster, the two adults had been killed by the monster. All I saved were the child, the little girl with long golden hair and blue eyes.
Seeing the little girl's long golden hair, I unconsciously remembered the nightmare I had that night, the brave girl who broke me into pieces and had beautiful golden long hair, and a beautiful face that seemed to charm all living beings.
Maybe I thought of something. I bent down and reached out to hold the head of the little blond girl whose face was covered with blood from her parents. I first touched her gently, and then I said something to her, something that can be called "seeking death".
"The monster that just killed your parents is my subordinate, and I am the demon king... I don't want to argue for this. If you want to avenge your parents, if you resent me, then live strongly. After becoming a brave man, come to Demon King City to find me."
"I will not be killed by anyone until then. I will continue to live and wait for you to come-kill me!"
Looking at the dragon guarding the strongest branch of the Demon King City with a sword downstairs, Akaret's eyes showed a very gentle look. He looked down at the girl brave man below wearing silver armor and beautiful golden long hair, as well as a charming face that seemed to charm all living beings.
"This guy is obviously so slender and lovely, but his power is very powerful. He killed my pet so simply. He is really a brave man... Speaking of which, I am just 300 years old this year, right? Well, are you the little girl fifteen years ago? If so, then hurry up and kill me."
