Chapter 58 Finale and Beginning
It’s over, everything is over.
Although Kolotia possessed very powerful strength, and although she commanded the Demon Race, becoming the commander-in-chief of the attack on humanity.
However, she was less than 20 years old.
With her limited experience, she didn’t have a strong heart like some true demons.
In front of Elus’s “Absolute Power,” she immediately collapsed:
“Sorry, Demon Lord! Don’t bully me, I’ll be good, woo woo woo… Please don’t bully me, please don’t train me as a plaything, I beg you.”
Kolotia, who was originally arrogant, knelt down immediately.
Tears of sobbing constantly flowed down her cheeks, almost completely soaking her clothes in an instant.
“Oh? You’re not resisting anymore? I was really looking forward to tormenting you in some ways.”
“Master, Master… my body and soul are yours, I will do whatever you want me to do! Please don’t bully me anymore.”
…
Unlike Lonis, who was just watching, Kolotia truly bore the brunt of Elus’s blade.
And this blade was not a pretense.
It contained not only extremely dense dark power but also an indescribable hatred.
Because as that strike was made, Lonis also saw…
The sorrow of the dead warriors,
The regret of the deceived sinners,
The hatred of trickery and betrayal,
And the despair of losing loved ones,
These were all things that the victims of the Snow Kingdom had experienced… Witnessing these was equivalent to Kolotia experiencing hundreds of deaths.
Of course, even while witnessing these pains, Kolotia could have retaliated, or could have directly clashed with Elus by using the Blood Race power within her to attack Elus.
But that would mean she would completely infuriate this terrifying black-haired girl and be tormented like this indefinitely…
Therefore, Kolotia surrendered.
And the battle ended.
After this, the Time Shuttle arrived promptly.
Kolotia was imprisoned, and the soldiers who had undergone body modifications were taken back by the Sword and Shield Guards.
The Demon Race suddenly became leaderless, and it was impossible for them to organize an attack again, and peace was restored to the border.
But for some reason, Lonis felt uneasy, with a very bad premonition.
Was it because of Elus?
As soon as she returned to the Time Shuttle, Elus went to the dungeon alone, saying she wanted to severely interrogate Kolotia and make her completely subservient.
Lonis wanted to help, but was sternly refused by the black-haired girl.
“Hmph, Lonis, your identity is still that of a slave princess, how can you just stand by and watch?”
“Eh?”
“Stay honestly in your room and don’t meddle in anything.”
Lonis could only obediently return to her bedroom, but she didn’t know that
In the lounge where Elus was, a fierce argument was taking place.
“Junior Elus, you can’t keep doing things like this.”
Standing opposite Elus was Isumi.
In fact, she hadn’t traveled with the girls this time precisely to control the Time Shuttle and provide support.
“Senior Isumi, don’t worry about me. Of course I know my own situation.”
Facing her senior, Elus merely snorted coldly, and a hint of unknown coldness flashed in her crimson eyes.
“Your body hasn’t fully developed yet, and if you continue to overuse this power, you risk complete demonization. Becoming a real monster.”
“Oh? Complete demonization, so what?”
“…”
“Our Kolotia family actually has demon blood, and demonization is very normal… Rather, if it weren’t for demonization, I would have died long ago, and become Cru’s flesh plaything.”
Even when saying the word “plaything,” Elus showed no nervousness. Her expression only revealed utter indifference:
“Instead, isn’t this feeling quite good now? I can attack others at will, or even take Kolotia as a toy.”
“I know your resolve… but you should at least consider Lonis right now.”
“Lonis?”
Hearing the silver-haired girl’s name, Elus’s expression hesitated.
“She likes you and wants you to be healthy. If you continue like this, perhaps after gathering the seven Rainbow Abysses, Lonis will have to eliminate you in addition to the Trickster Demon.”
“!”
“You don’t want that pitiful, naive maid to suffer this fate, do you? You don’t want to hand her over to anyone else
to take care of, do you?”
“Isumi…”
Elus frowned and looked at the orange-haired girl in front of her.
In fact, she could handle anyone, even that silly idiot Lonis… but only when facing Isumi did Elus feel as though everything was seen through.
This feeling, while making Elus somewhat uncomfortable, also gave her an indescribable sense of peace.
“Hmph, of course I know what that silly maid thinks. In fact, the reason I’m doing this is to fulfill her wish.”
“Wish?”
“She doesn’t want the war between the Demon Race and Humans to continue, and wants to end it quickly. And absolute power is the best way to end the war.”
Elus tilted her head up, completely unaware that a hint of crimson had appeared on her cheek: “In short, Senior Isumi, thank you for your concern. But I have my own judgment in my actions, and I’m not the kind of big fool who is willing to sacrifice myself to save the world anymore.”
“Yes, Junior Elus, I understand. But to prevent you from going astray, I will still stay by your side.”
“Ha, whatever you say…”
“This is not only the mission of me as the successor of the Orange Abyss, but also the responsibility that I must fulfill as a senior.”
…
After bidding farewell to Elus, Isumi immediately found Lonis without a second word.
She could see that Lonis was also very uneasy, which proved that the two had a lot of unspoken understanding; even without speaking, they knew each other’s thoughts.
“Junior Lonis, I need to tell you something very seriously.”
“Is it about… Elus?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Isumi nod, Lonis felt a little relieved… This is the benefit of having companions; it’s not just her who cares about Elus, but Senior Isumi is also on her side.
“Elus, is something wrong?”
“She’s been having her ‘girl days’ recently.”
Plop!
With just one sentence from Isumi, Lonis was completely stunned. She blinked in disbelief and asked,
“Her… those days?”
“Yes, you can think of it as a girl’s ‘those days’. And, Elus’s cycle is very unstable and has no pattern.”
“Wu… Wu?”
“You should know that in such situations, girls get very irritable. If they get angry, they will have a desire to destroy others. How to alleviate her anger is your job.”
“Ah, Ahhh, I know!!!!!”
Although she hadn’t experienced it herself, Lonis also knew that girls get very temperamental during that time, and they often make unreasonable demands or pick fights.
“Mm, thank you for your hard work, Junior Lonis. You must coax Elus for these few days. No matter how much she bullies you, just…”
“Don’t worry, I will do it! From today onwards, I’ll be Elus’s dog.”
“Uh…?”
“Didn’t Senior Isumi do it? As long as you lie on the ground like that and let Elus bully you without struggling.”
“Understood that way, it’s not wrong either.”
Isumi smiled slightly, noncommittally.
