NovelEnglishIt was a large mansion, but it doesn’t look like its being used, or at the very least it’s not visited often as the tree’s and plants are all overgrown.
You can see that the iron fence is all rusted and parts of the outer wall are loose and some parts of the walls have fallen over. Even the glass in the windows is cracked.
Ray and Misa were walking through the dusty halls of the mansion with Gerard walking in front of them. Eventually, they stopped in what would have been the grand hall.
In the hall was a pedestal with half a demon sword stuck in it.
“Do you understand?” (Gerard)
Misa stares at the sword.
“…….This is the sword my father gave me….?” (Misa)
Gerard nods.
“I intend to prove that I am a messenger sent by your father.” (Gerard)
He glanced at Ray.
“You seem cautious.” (Gerard)
“Yet apparently you no longer seem worried.” (Ray)
Ray smiled his usual refreshing smile at Gerard.
Gerard pulls the half-sword out.
“You should check it directly to make sure.” (Gerard)
Gerard walks towards Misa with the sword and slowly presents it to her.
“Thank yo–” (Misa)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as Misa was about to reach for the sword in a fluid motion Gerard flipped the sword and thrust the tip into her.
“I’m sorry but I’ve been ordered to kill you.” (Gerard)
“Oh?” (Ray)
An unconcerned Ray speaks up. A few moments ago he had nothing in his hands but he now held the unique sword Sigshesta.
“…..That’s ……..?” (Gerard)
Feeling something was off Gerard stopped and withdrew the sword from Misa. The tip of the sword that he thought he’d thrust into Misa was missing leaving only a neat cut line on the sword.
With a speed that no eye could follow Ray had cut and erased the tip of the sword.
“Ray-san….” Misa says uneasily.
“It’s okay, you’re safe. Fall back.” (Ray)
“….Yes…..” (Misa)
Ray steps forward to protect Misa.
“Can I ask one thing?” (Ray)
Without showing any concern Gerard answers in a dignified manner.
“What is it?” (Gerard)
“If your lord really is her father then why are you trying to kill her?” (Ray)
Gerard drew a magic formation and took a small shield out. The shield had a blue jewel embedded in each corner.
“I’m very sorry but that was a lie. It is the will of my master the curse king Kaihiram Jiste. My purpose is to take the origin of Misa Iriologue who carries the blood of the great spirit Reno.” (Gerad)
Misa’s eyes went wide in surprise.
“….Great spirit…..Reno…..?” (Misa)
“Yes. You are the biological child of the great spirit Reno the mother of all spirits. Unlike other spirits she bore you directly in her body. Your origin contains the power to subdue all spirits.” (Gerard)
Due to being shocked Misa didn’t answer right away.
“Assuming that’s true.” Ray said calmly. ” Then why does the mazoku called Kaihiram Jiste have the sword that her father gave her?” (Ray)
“It’s a fake.” (Gerard)
“Why are you lying?” (Ray)
Gerard doesn’t answer so Ray continues.
“My demon eyes aren’t very good, but I do know a lot about swords and that demon sword is certainly the half-sword that was in the union tower.” (Ray)
Ray sets his sword up.
“I’ll have you tell me the truth.” (Ray)

With Zeshia walking by her side Eleonor arrived at the castle of demon emperor Elio that governs Midheys.
“The people from the hero academy should be waiting here for me.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor addresses a butler who guides them to lodgings that are set apart in a separate part of the castle.
After finding a magic tool left by Jerga, Ledoriano and the others might have relied on the demon emperor Elio who was actively involved in the post-war clean-up.
“This room here.”
The butler stops in front of a luxurious door and knocks.
“Ledoriano-sama I have Eleonor-sama here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere’s no answer to his call so the butler dubiously knocks on the door again.
“Ledoriano-sama are you in there?”
There’s no answer so the butler puts his hand on the door handle.
“Wait.” Eleonor said in a rush. “…..There’s someone inside I don’t know……” (Eleonor)
“……..A person you don’t know?”
“Yeah. Withdraw. It might be dangerous.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor puts her hand on the handle and opens the door to see 3 men inside the room.
It was Ledoriano, Laos and Heine.
They had all fallen on the floor their bodies a stained blue colour.
“Everyone!!” (Eleonor)
“Hiihii. You’re finally here.”
An eerie sounding voice comes from the corner of the room.
Turing around Eleonor see’s a small boy standing there.
“…..Who are you?” (Eleonor)
“My name is Zabro Geeze and I serve the scarlet monument king Gilisris Dello as his adjutant. Don’t you know of him?” (Zabro) (1)
Contrary to his youthful face his gaze and mannerisms exude craftiness.
“What did you do to everyone?” (Eleonor)
“I poisoned their meal a little bit. It seems to have worked very well.” (Zabro)
Eleonor takes a fighting stance and Zeshia pulls out the holy sword Enhalle.
“Are you a mazoku from 2000 years ago?” (Eleonor)
“That I am.” (Zabro)
