Chapter 124 Birth of a Hero

When Nicholas calained his composure, and explained in detail what had happened to Hinata

The children were also brought here fro to Fritz’s explanation They should have been tired, but were they listening attentively

They were fed in Glenda, albeit not a proper reue Nonetheless, without tears or complaints they recited their observations

Their behavior made Fritz believe that Hinata’s choices were not a s that were said

Most importantly, they now confirurazaka Yuuki is indeed their eneh they still didn’t have a clear picture on hoerful or widespread his brainwashing is, considering that the Deerous threat

Next, the reason for Hinata’s actions

Following the battle with Deht manipulation, “Crystal of Curses,” and decided to attempt a rescue mission to save the children, as to prevent them to be similarly manipulated

However, Yuki had set a trap with the children as bait, and a battle started right on the spot

Her opponent was a hero After hiding for several

decades, the hero engaged in h Nicolas was skeptical, but judging from Fritz and the Children’s testimony there was no mistake

Moreover, there was information obtained froe the world into chaos and become its sole ruler

Therefore he carried out otiations

One should also conclude that he and his conspirators share a cooal

Then there’s the fact that Freedom Association’s Sub-master is the Demon Lord Kazalim

Moreover, the Pope of the Holy Eent, but anot the will of a True God Ruod Ruminas, was actually a de this revelation Hinata, at least, seemed to believe it, but then there was also the many hundreds of years of peace and prosperity

You can’t just say that it was all the work of a Demon Lord and expect people to just accept it

Moreover, a hero was in the hands of a dee

This wasn’t so they could easily disclose, and even if it did, it would only lead to a movement to free the hero

And that hero has just proven her heroisth) in the battle with Hinata

Frohts, Fritz, and Nicholas, Hinata was beyond hu to any special skill

The only existence who could overwheler after her battle with Demon Lord Rimuru is the hero herself

「But… to think that it was a hero…

If ere to reveal her as our eneainst the church

Not a deet any worse can it… And since it’s Yuuki, he’ll definitely take advantage of this inforht leader Leonard, the holy knights nodded with meek faces

However, is that really so? Nicolas repeatedly thought

Hinata hadonce Nicholas only had to leave it in her hands…

Sadness and despair swirled inside Nicholas heart threatening to overwhelm him, yet he repressed it with his will alone

「No, in that case he would have long proclai that he hasn’t th to oppose us」

Nicolas said

Hinata can’t be relied on anyth was overwhel

Yuki may have dominated the Hero, then couldn’t he counter a demon lord?

Actually, just what kind of demon lord is Ruminas?」

Fritz who has actually witnessed the clash between Hinata and the Hero asked

If the hero could overwheler?

As per the previous question, does the Demon Lord Ruminas even exist?

Nicholas, in response to that question, explored the depths of his own knowledge and memory and found an answer

「Fumu, Well the demon lord valentine……

There is a book within the western church which su…

Ten Great Deinally there were three

Guy Criest there could be

Ra all to madness

Their fa cities and death abound,

Fear of theends was found

As the tale had told, Rarace,

Once shared in the Holy Spirit, but it abandoned

And the warring Nava and Crimson in that place,

Peace between the two she deainst whoh unlike the first,

Dagruel ould shake the ground

Valentine who terrorized the night

Such were the names these fiends found

Hallowed as Deates of heaven in the land of the dead,

Into a deic he was fed [1]

These tere famous demon lords

As to the demon lord in question–Ruminas

That would probably be the Vampire princess Valentine

As the queen of the vaical power An evildoer with an absolutely beautiful appearance

The city she ruled over, a beautiful flower of the night, Night Rose, was burned to cinders in a battle with Storon Veldora

And since then no one had seen Deain

Since no one had confirmed whether she had perished, she was still considered a part of the Great Ten Demon Lords—Vampire Princess Valentine

「In other words, De the role of God Ruel, but its name we do not know

As for the rest: the slayer ofKarion and Heavenly Frey, and the Golden Leon make up the new demon lords

There was also the manipulator Clay heard Nicholas’ explanation the group caod Ruminas was none other than Demon Lord Valentine

Situation so dictated and the Templars did not voice any opposition

Thus this heavy revelation began to sink in

They had long worshipped a deh off But there was also no use in getting angry or violent

Sitting in the Cathedral chamber Hinata established, those present honestly faced the truth

But not even Nicholas nor Leonard could accept it just yet It was just beyond all reason

They would have been much happier if this all happened to be another of Yuuki’s atteht only reveals the underlying problem

Yuuki is their enemy There was no question about it, and Nicholas would never forgive that bastard

But…

「Though she wasn’t one of the original demon lords, Valentine was an ancient one…

But… a hero would probably win anyways

In other words, if Yuuki controls the hero, there’s no reason for hiht?」

Leonard stated, only increasing Nicholas’ headaache

That’s right Even as he was explaining it, Nicholas thought the sa

Whether Yuuki would win is dubious, but a hero would definitely win After all, she sealed the Storon who defeated Valentine

In that case…

It just wasn’t the ti the demon lord behind the curtain

Now that Hinata was defeated, there was no one to unify the Church If the word of Ruot out, it would spell doom for that entire country

Whether Yuuki had read this far is unknown, but now he knew, and Nicholas was left without a card to play

Everyone present realized this fact and silence enveloped the room

「The Freedom Association Master’s next move will be bold, eh」

Nicholas murmured but no one answered

And then,

「W-what is this?! What an ominous presence!! Friends, take arms!」

Leonard shouted and everyone drew their weapon

And then before everyone, the space distorted and beings appeared before the faceless masks

And when they kneeled, another walked between theirl

Her eyes were a beautiful heterochroht

She was discussed by thehtht, Ru『Spatial Move eyes,

「Stand down」

She said in a low yet reverberating voice

For the knights, even if the one before theht it a good time to relax

But before this Deone from their bodies, they dropped their blades and bowed before her

Seeing this, her s She was indeed the Vampire Prinecss

And when her adorable mouth opened,

「He who underestimates us Thee means to say that we be vanquished by the hero… nay, perhaps I could see Chloe acco that… by Yuuki?」

She declared

Nicholas felt his heart stop fro presence and could no respond

(So t-this is a De!!)

Fear nearly ripped his heart asunder, and everyone there felt the same

「Be that as it may

Ye have discovered our place in the Holy Eather

‘Tis so, we are the God Ruminas

Perhaps a shame, but if that country falls apart there is no reason to stop it
