Volume 2 - CH 325

Chapter 7-46. Side -Houen- The Words of Atrak

“Since I’m going to die. I’m gonna tell you.”

“……”

“Eeeeehm, heeeeeear me out. You probably won’t catch it immediately. Try to guess, try to imagine, try to come up with the answer.”

Atrak tapped his head with his index finger.

Then he begins to talk in a fast tone.

“Well, you see, the devil is-“

BANG ……

Suddenly, Atrak’s head is severed in two.

His head, separated from his torso, rolls on the ground.

“Hh- we ca-…!”

BHANG!!

Even though the head was still alive, Atrak tried to speak again, but this time his mouth was ripped open and his jaws fell off.

Then, the head was ripped off and dumped on the ground.

Just then, the body, still standing, began to move and tried to communicate something with a gesture.

He pointed at himself and kept waving his hand from side to side in front of where his face would have been.

But the next moment, his arm was destroyed.

His legs were also crushed, and his body, which had collapsed to the ground, was finally cut in half.

Atrack’s body stopped moving even a twitch.

It was clear even to the untrained eye that he would never move again.

What made him not hesitate to die? ……

To that extent, what did he want to tell me?

It was almost inaudible ……, or rather, he couldn’t say it …….

Even with the gesture, I couldn’t quite understand what he was trying to say.

If there is no facial expression, it is impossible to understand the message what is being conveyed. ……

Is this ……. …… what should I do?

He could have told me more than that!

Exactly like the raid on the kingdom of Salettana, or the devil’s purpose!

…… But this guy must have wanted to tell me something more important than that.

What he wanted to tell me, knowing that he would die, couldn’t possibly not be important information.

However, I don’t understand …….

What about the devil himself, ……?

What do I have to say, don’t mess with them or don’t give it to them?

Say it more simply, Atrak………………….!

“……But this means I can’t listen to you anymore,……. Sigh, why am I the only one who has to go through this ……. But …….”

I got the information.

That this world was created a thousand and one hundred years ago.

We are the second generation. The first generation was the black tortoise Urushima. The red bird Enge. The blue tiger Awase.

As I thought, the previous generation of White Snake and Devil must have had some important relationship.

Atrak imitated the tone of the person named Urushima, and I know that they were friendly.

I wanted more information about the others, but I guess I have no choice now that …… this has happened.

But perhaps the devil knows about the four of them.

If the devil has been alive for 500 years, that is.

Still, I don’t understand how this world was created a thousand and a hundred years ago.

Could it be that the planet itself was created?

Possibly Atrak was the oldest of all the devils, ……?

Since this world was born so soon after it was created, …….

Perhaps if we tell Hinata the names of the four first generations, it might bring back her memory.

We can’t do that now because we don’t have much time, but we’ll try to head there after we help Alena with her hometown.

“I must tell Ouren about this.”

Rather, he is …..

“You still can’t return to your human form!”

Look, I’m almost at the end of my rope!

You have no idea how hard it is for me to gather all this information by myself!

Aah, now after looking at all the documents I just snatched, I’m going to go to Bamil territory first!

Why am I the only one so busy!

Aaaaargh!

I still haven’t even looked into this underground area!

I may need to check it against the information I’ve got here, so I’ll have to!

So much to do!

Please come back, Uchikage. …….

“Aaaaah …… sigh. We’re steadily getting to the bottom of it, though.”

That’s all I know.

Although there were a lot of blanks, I realized that we’ve made a lot of progress here.

All that’s left is to …… see what’s written in the documents that I’ve gathered here …….

Hopefully I’ll be able to find out by the time those two get back.

In the meantime, I have no more use for this place.

Everything has been collected.

Now I have to think about where to read this later.
