- 31: The Situation is looking rather Frisky
“…I’m getting worried.” I said as I looked beyond the waters in front of me.
Currently, I was simply looking over the sea with my stead while the others went to retrieve the princess. Seeing as how confident they were, I didn’t felt worried about their safety since they were known as the 10 strongest knights of the Dragon Empire.
Surely they wouldn’t have any trouble with a couple of guards…
So I simply waited.
But as time went on…
More exactly, around 8 hours has passed, my patience continued to thin out, out of the worry for their safety. Already the moon was rising up the stars in the sky.
“Their Dealing with a Demon…a Demon! Something only heard in the bible.”
For it to be related to this world, I can’t help but worry after 8 hours of waiting…
Demons, the very manifestation of evil. Back in my past life, I wasn’t so compelled by the truth of a Demon’s existence, after all, it was only said in the churches and bibles to warn the people in the hopes of steering them away from making sins.
But for its name…to be called here as if it was a true manifestation, I could only ever fear that this sort of entity named a demon, must have been a true inkling of power, something to be feared of in its actual existence.
And because of this fear in me, I grew curious for an answer.
“All-known book, How is the situation regarding the princess and the others?” I asked.
[ANALYZING…ANALYSIS COMPLETE. THE PRINCESS OF THE DRAGON EMPIRE IS YET TO BE FOUND AND HALF OF THE IMPERIAL DRAGONS HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY THE KING THE REST ARE IN HIDING.]
“What!?” being shocked by this information, i stood from my place in horror.
“What does the king plan to do?”
[HE PLANS TO EXECUTE IMPERIAL DRAGONS AS A SIGN OF HIS POWER. BY NEXT MORNING, THE EXECUTION WILL COMMENCE AND THE IMPERIAL DRAGONS WILL DIE, DOING SO WILL SPARK A WAR AGAINST THE DRAGON EMPIRE TO MAJOR PROPORTIONS.]
“Is there a way to stop it?!”
[ANALYZING…ANALYSIS COMPLETE. THERE ARE OVER TEN THOUSAND POSSIBLE WAYS TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT GIVEN YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE, THE MOST DIRECT APPEAL WOULD BE TO REVEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM THE TRUTH BEHIND THE KING’S MASK. IN OTHER WORDS, MURDER THE KING AND SHOW TO THE PEOPLE HIS DEMONIC FORM.]
“T-that’s a bit much…”
[NOT AT ALL, THE DEMON IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE KINGDOM AND HIS WORDS ARE LAW TO THE PEOPLE. THE KING WAS ONCE A KNOWN HERO TO THE PEOPLE, SO HE’S EXISTENCE AND WORDS ARE TRUE TO THE PEOPLE, BUT SINCE THE DEMON HAS TAKEN OVER THE KING IN SECRET, THE PEOPLE ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THE CHANGES.]
“What about that burning flesh smell in the kingdom? Shirley said that it was coming over the wall by the castle itself. Shouldn’t the people be skeptical to find that king is burning flesh?”
[ANALYZING…ANALYSIS COMPLETE. IT IS TRUE THAT THE KINGDOM IS DOING MASS-BURNING TO THE POPULACE, BUT THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS. ONLY TWO DAYS AGO, THE DEMON HAS MADE THE JUDGEMENT OF SPREADING A PLAGUE ALL OVER THE KINGDOM AS A SIGN OF HIS LOVE FOR THE PRINCESS. TO MAKE A DEAL WITH HER AND FORCE HER TO MARRY THE DEMON IN EXCHANGE OF STOPPING THE PLAGUE ALTOGETHER. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG SPREADING OF THIS PLAGUE AND ITS EFFECTS THAT ULTIMATELY ROTS THE VICTIM’S FLESH LIKE ACID, THE DOCTORS OF THIS KINGDOM TOOK ACTION OF INITIALLY BURNING PEOPLE WHO ARE INFECTED BY THIS PLAGUE. SOON AFTER THE PLAGUE HAS CEASED FOR A SMALL AMOUNT, BUT IT CONTINUES TO SPREAD. AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD UNTIL THE DEMON IS KILLED.]
“A plague!?”
[CONTROLLED BY THE DEMON, THE PLAGUE IS MADE TO SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE PEOPLE OF THIS KINGDOM AND ONLY WHEN THE PRINCESS ACCEPTS HIS HAND WILL THE PLAGUE DISAPPEAR.]
“So the Demon is capable of such things?” I asked.
[THE DEMON IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE GREAT COUNTS THAT SERVE UNDER THE TRUE DEMON KING FOUND ACROSS THE OTHER END OF THE WORLD. THE COUNT OF PESTILENCE. PESTILUS.]
In the shadowy depths of the Demon domain, there exists a malevolent entity known as Pestilus, the Harbinger of Contagion. Pestilus is a demon whose very essence is intertwined with the darkest aspects of disease and pestilence. Its appearance is a grotesque fusion of the ethereal and the macabre, a visage that strikes terror into the hearts of even the bravest souls.
Pestilus stands tall and emaciated, its form shrouded in tattered, disease-ridden robes that billow like a plague-ridden mist. Its skin is a sickly pallor, mottled with grotesque pustules and weeping sores that ooze with noxious fluids. Its eyes, sunken and hollow, burn with an eerie greenish glow, an otherworldly fire fueled by its unholy connection to maladies.
Atop its misshapen head, Pestilus wears a crown of writhing serpents, each serpent a symbol of a different affliction it can unleash upon the mortal realm. Its voice, when it speaks, is a guttural whisper that carries the weight of suffering and despair, capable of sending shivers down the spine of any who hear it.
Pestilus wields power over a maleficent array of diseases and plagues. With a mere gesture, it can conjure a swarm of pestilent locusts, their bite carrying a virulent contagion that spreads rapidly among those unfortunate enough to be in their path. It can exhale a toxic breath that corrupts the very air, causing those who breathe it to succumb to feverish delirium. Its touch is deathly cold, causing flesh to wither and decay upon contact.
The Harbinger of Contagion delights in sowing chaos and suffering among mortals. It thrives on the fear and desperation that pandemics and plagues bring, reveling in the sight of entire civilizations brought to their knees by its unholy influence. Its malevolent laughter echoes through the afflicted lands, a haunting reminder of the horrors it can unleash.
Pestilus is not easily vanquished, for its essence is bound to the darkest recesses of the netherworld. To confront this demon is to face the very embodiment of pestilence itself—a foe that can turn the body’s defenses against it, a foe that thrives in the midst of suffering. Only the most courageous and skilled champions dare to challenge Pestilus, armed with potent remedies and ancient incantations, for it is a battle that tests not only their strength but also their resilience against the insidious grip of contagion.
But despite such description of him, he fell in love with a princess who carried beauty unlike any other. He has watched her since her birth, and followed true to her beauty that was comparable to that of a burning phoenix.
He’s love for her exceeds that of any normal means…so much so, that he is but an obsessed character out for her body, soul and life…
He was a terrifying character of plague. A stalker and a demon most of all…
This was how the All-known Book explained him demon to me.
“Is there a way to fight of such a character? A way to defeat the Demon of plague?” I asked in desperation of knowing so.
[ANALYZING…ANALYSIS COMPLETE. WITH YOUR CURRENT CAPABILITIES, YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST THE DEMON. FOR HE WHO STANDS WITH A BREATH FILLED WITH PLAGUE, YOU WILL SURELY DIE THE MOMENT YOU STEP INTO HIS CHAMBERS WITHOUT INVITATION.]
“Okay fine…I get that I can’t beat him, but is there a way to save the princess and the dragons instead?” I asked.
[ANALYZING…ANALYSIS COMPLETE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BRING THE PRINCESS BACK WITH THE DEMON FINDING OUT, IT WILL LEAD TO THE MASS SPREADING OF THE PLAGUE THROUGH OUT THE KINGDOM. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, ALL OF THE PEOPLE WILL DIE AND WILL BE RESURRECTED TO FOLLOW UNDER THE ORDERS OF THE COUNT OF PESTILENCE. IT WILL RAGE A WAR AGAINST THE DRAGON EMPIRE WHICH WILL THEN LEAD TO THEIR DEFEAT…WHICH ONLY WILL THEN THE PRINCESS MARRY THE COUNT OF PESTILENCE OUT FOR THE PEACE OF HER EMPIRE.]
“…eh!!????”
Saving the princess will undoubtedly cause a war…
“Then what am I supposed to do!?” I asked, as I panicked in place.
[KILL THE KING.]
“You said that I can’t kill the king with my power! Didn’t you say that?”
[YES]
“WTF!?!?!?!”
[AT YOUR CURRENT STATE OF STRENGTH, YOU CANNOT DEFEAT THE DEMON. BUT THERE IS A WAY TO CONJURE A MORE PROBABLE PROCESS OF STRENGTH. ONE THAT WELL LEAD YOU TO A PATH OF BEING A SERVANT UNDER A GOD.]
“…A servant?…Tellus…the goddess of life? Are you telling me to call out to her?” I asked in wanting to know the answer, but before the book could answer back, a breeze suddenly blew my way at a force so strong that it caused me to fall down to the ground.
~SWOOOSSSHHHH~~~~
“aH!!” Havign a straight aspired reaction, I tried to block the wind with my hand, and soon enough, the breeze had gone silent.
“…W-what was that?” when I looked forward, all I saw was the sight of an unchanged scene of the waters.
Yet something felt weird behind that simple scene…
The waters…they were as calm as the sight of a sleeping child. It was not rippling like an ocean, nor was its waves moving against the winds of nature.
Being bewildered by this scene, I turned to the trees, to its leaves and saw that they were also not moving against the wind. And when I went to grab for my stead out of worry in the impulse of my situation, I didn’t see him react all too much and because of this…but then I realized, Iron Lung was not moving an inch…no wagging tail, nor swaying head….the stead was just there frozen like an ice cube.
“…” something was wrong.
And to my first assumption, I could only blame that the demon has figured out my location and he probably stopped time like a magician could…
But it shouldn’t be…
“All-known, what is going on?” when I asked the book, for the first time it did not respond back like it always would.
“…AK?”
And when asking again, I suddenly felt the cold breeze of the night.
And with it, a hundred fireflies lighted up and marched on the field beside me…
When I turned to this array of fireflies, they suddenly stopped in motion and starting forming into a symbol that I was not familiar with.
And to it, the fireflies mended into one strobe of a bright light…
And as soon as the light dissipated, out came the figure of a lady who coated with the a dress made of nature.
One who’s beauty was like that of a majestic scene of a field in the early day of summer, but had the glaring eyes of a fierce work of nature in the winter.
One who I could only call as a person who expressed the very form of nature itself.
“.…You…who are you?” I asked.
“I am Tellus, Goddess of Life.” said the voice that came from all directions.
And with it, she went to touch my face and hold it like a child.
“You…you are not my creation.” said the woman with a sad expression.
“…Who are you?” she asked.
“…I” but I could not answer because of how unbelievable this whole ordeal was…
Just like that time I meet the king of the jungle in the flat bioma, the albino lion, this woman was another force of nature that I could barely handle mentally.
