My Demon Hunting System

Chapter 12: The History of the Demon King and the Warrior

Erica and Ary nodded with serious expressions shaping their faces.

Lady Selene smiled since she knew that it would take a long time to explain. Because history isn't something you can understand in brief.

And the time had finally come to unravel the mystery and to know the history behind the Heavenly Realms.

"It all began 20,000 years ago when the peaceful world that you're living in was in chaos. The peaceful valley of flowers was tainted with blood. The time had finally arrived when the war between the demons and the gods was finally about to start. Every single day, about a thousand people were killed during this war. The one who started the fight was the Demon King, Arterismet VII. He wants to be the King of all 7 heavenly realms."

Galiriothoxmus explained, and in between his explanation, Ary interrupted, asking,

"7 Heavenly Realms? But there are only 2, right?"

"No."

Galiriothoxmus deny and clarified,

"The first Heavenly Realm is this one, the Realm of Endless Potentials. The realm which provides life force to every single realm."

Then he pointed his left index finger at the colossal moon and commented,

"And the other realm is there, the Heavenly Moon Realm. The realm that makes the balance of every life force in the mortal world."

Then he pointed his finger toward the endless lake and commented,

"And the remaining 5 realms are under this endless lake. Those realms are for the high-ranked Warriors. I'll explain that later. But first, let me explain the beginning."

"Ah, yeah."

Ary responded as he held his peace and Galiriothoxmus began explaining again.

"As he aimed to be the King of All, he started the war against the higher gods and us. The War continued for about 47 years, and hopefully, after 47 years of chaos, the light of hope finally returned with the person who was able to defeat the Demon King."

Then he lowered his face and clarified,

"The Demon Lords were the minions of Arterismet VII. They have the power to absorb the life force of any civilization or planet and stars, and due to this, they are famously known as the 'Realm Hunter'."

"I see..."

Ary responded, and he started to understand the concept here, and since half of the story was unfolding, a question arose in his mind. He glanced at Galiriothoxmus and asked,

"So, how does everything turn back to the way things are now on earth?"

Upon hearing his query, Galiriothoxmus nodded and started explaining again.

"As I mentioned before, the war ended after 47 years of chaos when the person who was able to defeat the Demon King appeared. That person was the first Warrior summoned by my ancestors. He was a human from the earth with exceptional abilities."

"A human..."

done.me

"...from earth....?"

Both Erica and Ary responded with slightly amazed voices after hearing his statement.

"Yes," Galiriothoxmus replied, adding, "he was the Warrior who killed the Demon King Arterismet VII."

"He killed him?"

Erica repeated.

"Yes,"

In response, Galiriothoxmus nodded.

"But didn't you summon us to defeat this Demon King? If he's already dead then why would you summon us?"

Ary asked while gazing at Galiriothoxmus.

"Well,"

Galiriothoxmus coughed and explained,

"It's because, for unknown reasons, the Demon King Arterismet VII was resurrected 100 years ago, and with him came the return of the sealed power in every demon lord."

Both Ary and Erica held their breaths after heeding this statement.

"He has been revived…"

In a dazed voice, Erica called out.

"That's right,"

This time Lady Selene, who was listening to Galiriothoxmus's explanation, confirmed as she stepped forward and confessed,

"That's the reason why I and Galiriothoxmus were summoning the Warriors in recent years. However, till now, there were no Warriors from our realm who could manage to defeat the Demon Lord, let alone the Demon King."

"..."

Ary did not respond but remained solemn after recalling the images of the corpse he had seen in the Scarlet Realm.

But upon hearing that no warrior could possibly defeat the Demon Lord, a thought struck Erica's head as she mentioned,

"But Ary does manage to do that, right?"

"Hmm?"

Ary responded as his glares shifted toward Erica.

"You're right."

Galiriothoxmus replied, then he claimed,

"Out of 769 Warriors till date, Ary was the only one who managed to do so successfully."

"Yes, Ary was exceptional too."

Lady Selene complimented him.

After hearing her compliment, Ary lowered his gaze, saying,

"But don't you guys have the slightest pity over those 769 lives? You just ruined their happiness."

"Ary…"

Erica showed a pitiful smile after hearing his words since what he said was right.

"We did feel the loss, Ary."

Galiriothoxmus called out, adding,

"But it was for the sake of the realms."

Ary sighed since he knew that it would be pointless to argue over it.

"Well,"

Ary called out, asking,

"You still didn't tell us the name of that warrior. What was his name?"

Since his curiosity returned to him just in time to know the name of that Warrior.

After hearing his query, both Galiriothoxmus and Lady Selene held their peace.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Erica, who was standing beside Ary, asked after seeing them become silent all of a sudden.

Lady Selene looked at Galiriothoxmus.

While Galiriothoxmus coughed, replying,

"Well, we don't actually know his name. However, his surname was famous almost everywhere."

"Surname?"

Ary repeated as he got a strange vibe. For some unknown reason, he got goosebumps. It was not fear or anything, but something strange that he didn't understand.

"What was that?"

Erica asked since she was getting more curious to know the surname of the legendary Warrior.

Galiriothoxmus coughed and then exclaimed,

"Ahem. Well, the surname of the legendary warrior was...Inochi!"

"What?! Inochi?!"

Erica uttered as her crimson eyes shifted toward Ary.

While Ary, after hearing those statements, didn't react in surprise or shock, but with a serious face, he pondered,

'I see…I think the one Wolfra was uttering was about that warrior.'
