Chapter 473 Confrontation Between Ideologies

-----

"Abyssal Eyes…?" Asked Ninhursag.

"They're the ones that had been behind this!" My mother said. "Why are you here? Have you come to take our life now when we are at our weakest point? Cunning bastards… You don't know how many innocents you've taken out already!"

"Innocents?" The woman said. "Do you truly believe any of these people are innocents? Even less you, a hero who has killed thousands yourself? Where did all this morality you're showing went back then? Did you just developed your common sense now or something?"

"T-That's…!" My mother was quickly shut down, as she gritted her teeth. "That… I am well aware of my sins, but because of that, I cannot simply let you do the same I did back then… No more! Why are you demons so obsessed with repeating the same cycle of hate that you yourselves already know of?!"

"Tch… What would an elf born in nobility even know about us?"

"You're Hero Faylen, right? You're the daughter of a King! You can't even put yourself in our shoes…"

"A life as a privileged person like you doesn't even has the right to criticize what we are doing!"

"You've never truly suffered, you've lived in luxury and happiness your entire life, the harshness of reality is not something you could even fathom to comprehend!"

"Despite the elves priding themselves for being such wise beings, you're all ignorant people that closes themselves inside their trees and never tries for a single second to see what's really going on outside." The blue haired woman said. "The world by itself is an endless battlefield of blood, sweat, and tears. There is nothing else in this world but suffering and surviving, we have done it all now, we are simply going with how the world is intended to be."

"Y-You're all crazy…" Ninhursag muttered. "And do you truly think you can stop me?! I will crush you all to death! Unlike Faylen here, I won't restraint myself against you!"

The demons covered in cloaks and wearing masks began to laugh at Ninhursag's words.

"See?" Asked the blue haired woman. "This is how the world is. We threaten one another, bite one another, tear apart one another's bodies, bleed, and die. Life is a battlefield until the very last moment when we give our last breath. Those that choose peace are weaklings that cannot bring themselves to enter the battlefield that is this entire world."

"You're insane!" I said. "Stop talking nonsense! Not everyone wants to fight and die! What about the children?! Are you going to force them to fight and die now? If you see the world in such a manner, why are you even resentful against those that did the same to you? I don't understand your stupid logic, it feels like you're just immature, and incapable of just thinking that other people have feelings too! You're just blinding yourself by imagining that everyone just wants to kill you so you can justify your own insane mindset!"

"Tch… What would someone so stupid like you even know about us…" The woman said. "This is a world whose endless cycle will never end unless we do something drastic. Yes, the world is shrouded in blood and battle as I said before, but I'll make it change. With my own hands and the blessings of the Evil Gods. I'll start here, but this will continue. The entire continent of the humans will know of the demon's might, our true power! We'll conquer the continent and everything within itself, and we'll take back the world you humans stole from us…"

"ROOOARR! ENOUGH!"

Ninhursag lost her patience as she quickly attacked, her enormous jaws opened wide as a storm of black flames came out as a breath attack, the flames quickly unleashed their power as the demons swiftly evaded her attacks, five of them out of the twelve quickly rushed towards her without hesitating, taking out strange Cursed Weapons imbued with True Demon Blood, apparently, and firing them at her!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"AGH!" Ninhursag muttered, quickly realizing several daggers and spears pierced her scales easily, imbuing miasma into her body which quickly began to paralyze her body. "Y-You damn…!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Several magic circles emerged around her as fireballs began shooting down over the demons, they evaded swiftly, but one of them ended being hit, falling into the ground, but seemingly unscathed. The clothes they had were all imbued with powerful true demon blood, which created some sort of invisible barrier of sorts that could easily block damage from magic to an extent, just like true demons usually can.

"ROOARRR!"

Ninhursag used her jaws to take out the weapons from her body, using her big tail to swipe through her foes, making some of them trip into the ground, as her sharp claws quickly reached one of them and crushed them into the ground with all her weight, splattering their bodies over the ground.

"DIE!"

However, one of them, the biggest of the group, held an enormous battle axe and reached up to Ninhursag's long wyvern neck!

"Ah?!"

CLASH!

However, like the wind, Zack intercepted the big guy with his own battle axe, the winds quickly being controlled by his powerful magic, as his Beast Aura in the form of a Horned Bear emerged, materializing for a split of a second and unleashing its claws, slashing through the man's face.

SLASH!

The man quickly fell back as his mask broke, revealing a red-skinned demon similar to the tribe of Mary, covered in scars, with both of his horns broken and with a missing eye.

"A child…" He muttered, his enormous presence growing larger and larger, he wasn't a common foe. "So be it… I've already gone too deep into this, I won't back down, even if I to take down a kid… For my little daughters, I'll slaughter the world!!!" He roared furiously, rushing towards Zack.

"You have daughters?" Zack asked in surprise, flinching for a bit as the man took the higher ground in the fight and began unleashing countless axe techniques against Zack, who was barely intercepting. "Why are you risking your life so much if you've got two kids?! Do you want them to end up without parents?!"

"This is what I, as a father, has to do…" The red-skinned man said. "You're a stupid kid, you don't understand a single thing! Get off my way and I won't kill you!"

"No… I cannot let you touch her, she's my mother after all." Zack said, gritting his teeth.

The man narrowed his eyes.

"Indeed… this is a wicked world we live in…"

CLASH!
