Chapter 239: Intertwined Fate

At some point in your life, you’ll realize there are things you can’t run away from, be it fear, trauma, love, etc. What about me? Isn’t it obvious? There’s no going back now that im here, since im a side character, as long as I live I’ll be caught up on my story

“Everyone be it friends companions or the generals themselves I’m here to announce the full recovery of the lord! King Uberious the 3re incarnation recovered his power in the 0th year of his life. I ask everyone present today would spread the joy of our lives as our one true lord truly began his journey,” Lucifer’s speech moved the hearts of their demo of citizens and a few openly spout their remarks about this grandiose event

“Long live the King!”

“… those warring nations won’t know what hit them! The Demon lord will massacre them all! Not even a speck of their remains will be recovered,”

“Demon King make sure to tear them limb from limb! For so long we the demons have had to live in hiding, they’ll rue the day those fucker ever messed with us. We’re cheering for you our great ruler,”

“Milord I’m prepared to lose my chastity to conceive your child!! I hope you’d chose me as the many who’ll be in line for your suitors. As a descendant of the Succubus clan, you won’t regret ever choosing me!”

“Damn! Can’t believe a lot of them came all the way here to hear this shit? Morris, can you quit moping around your throne?” Jin pulled down the curtains and slowly left the window and stood beside his friend

“This is such a drag, I still can’t accept that I just randomly got caught up in this bullshit. Like h-how? Every time I try to get less involved in the story but I always get my ass in some sort of trouble. At this point, I wouldn’t even doubt if this is a normal day for a side character,”

“Look at the bright side, Morris. At least you look a lot more charming in contrast to your previous design. Before you had a face that only a mother can love, look at you now. You’re rocking that Demon King get-up, im a little envious that you’re the only one who got a massive glow-up,”

“This is my normal face… I just change my face, Jin. Do you know how disastrous this is? If anyone saw me they’ll up and kill me when this trial is finished, im not even joking. One day you’ll see me dead at the fourth trial and when that happens let’s see if you’re still jealous,” He grumbled and despaired at his predicament until the rest of his crew arrive at the main hall

“Boss! You got your face back, it’s so refreshing you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to look at you… no offense but your face before was hard to swallow, you look so ugly back then,”

The others remained silent and only nods at Kyo’s opinion, it seems his face was truly unbecoming. He couldn’t swallow the fact that everyone excluding Kyo and Jin we’re hesitant in the matter of his face. Instead of carrying on such a worthless topic every one of them took their respective seat before he unveil his announcement

“Okay everyone’s here, as you know the system notified everyone after I uh… accidentally found the triggered what you might call the ’True ending’ and ultimately change the third trial. Before you guys say anything I didn’t do it on purpose, off to the next topic the counterplan. First off I highly doubt that the demons are the true villains of the story—”

“What!!?” Everyone rises from their seats after his sudden remarks about the infamous race known as the Demon clan

“Hey, Morris what the hell’s with them?” Jin was the only one apart from Silvia who remain still in her spot unsurprised by his proclamation

[Now this is a development… what are you going on about, Morris? It’s clear as day that the demon clan is the invader in this story, call me crazy but aren’t you biased?]

’Oh, sage since when was I biased? I won’t tell a lie and hurt anyone, lying is the worst imaginable thing anyone could do. After seeing it with my eyes im sure this is the case… the reason why their invasive species come on, don’t tell me you’re blind?’

[What are you getting at exactly?]

’Who the hell wants to live in this shit hole? There aren’t enough resources it’s dangerous, and has no fertile land. No one will want to live here, not even a cockroach. The worst you can say to these demons is that there vigorous enough to invade neighboring lands. I’m rather impressed by how flexible they can be to wage war just to live another day,’

Strange as it is Christopher Morris’s doubts were but a tip on what he amassed over the days when he governed this land. Tons of abnormalities such as the seal entombed to be forever trapped in a place where the outside was raging wars. He was full of doubt in this whole scenario on how these demons were said to be difficult, even though they were weakened to such a state

“Can everyone please remain seated?” Blake raises his voice and everyone followed through as one of their most sensible members stand

“Go on, Blake. Excluding Jin from all your lots I think you’re the only one logical enough to come through… how bout you share your thoughts on our present matter,”

He vowed in front of him and continues. “Thank you, Mr. Morris, as our leader was saying we might be victims in this story… call me insane but have you seen the nature of this land? I’ve been in charge of managing our ecological threat, as the one knowledgeable in the fields of alchemy im certain of our lives,”

“Can you give us a reasonable fact, about masters claims? Trust me for I have no doubts about what he said… but as things stand this matter itself is truly a peculiarity. Master told us to not easily be swayed, and thus im enacting his teachings, many of us are confused…”

Blake steadily stands his ground and added his meticulous research of his daily management of their land. “As much as I can say that the lands conquered by the demon king remain unchanged by the environment it remains polluted. His power only drives off the excess amount of demonic energy but it doesn’t restore anything or purify the land. This results in just a sufficient amount of resources, but the fact is, these resources are just limited—”

“It’s the seal, isn’t it? The seal placed on this land made it near impossible for the rivers to be naturally refilled… there wasn’t a day that had any rain a natural phenomenon occurring in the demonic realm. It’s also because that seal is standing that the demonic citizens are overwhelmed by the potent divinity,” Esther abruptly intrudes on his explanation by adding her discovery to the mix

“Wow! I thought you guys wouldn’t notice it m but I was wrong… anyway, don’t worry about the seal, it’s going to break a lot sooner than you think. The moment I triggered the true ending, the seal will fall in the remaining two days. Gentleman, we’ve been locked here for so long, I think it’s time for us to join the war and the first stop I had in mind is this,”

He points at the map once everyone got a peek at their destination. But before they could move the remaining forces of demonic army were rallied. After two days and two nights of nonstop pilgrimage, they wander every land the demonic realm has to offer. Wars wage after another was concluded and as they continue the King himself join the fray along with his trusty generals

[System: 0 hour: 1 minute: 12 seconds left till the downfall of the seal is finalized and the world shall once again meet the forces of darkness]

At the lonesome peak, he reclined to catch a glimpse of hundreds of thousands of demons to his view were nothing but dots. He sighed for not a single moment did he feel the need to rest, his body grew stronger along with his rising forces. Morris who grew to be King which everyone depended on sighed at the view where many came to desire his spot. Not a looming sense of accomplishment but a dreadful amount of despair for all the responsibility he attained in such a short time

’This is so stressful! No wonder the villains always had those lackeys do everything. It’s tough being a villain, at least I have a few useful henchmen. It’s been a long time since I’ve met Hugo, looking back I think it wouldn’t be a coincidence like some sort of fate. As I thought, as long as im alive, no the side character Christopher Morris is alive he’ll get involved even if he doesn’t want to,’

[The walls are no longer present, let’s go, Morris. It’s time to officially make our debut, the advent of the demonic army has begun. It’s time for our March]

“It’s great that my other perks gave me access to my inventory… and now I can use my mask. The march of the demonic clan shall commence. Onward to the Tree of Origin, a place where every event that past is forever written,”

His shallow voice brought forth the movement of countless demons upon the destruction of the seal. Their next destination was a place unknown to both the warring nations and the demons themselves. A race secluded in the environment where their race until their old enough to stand on their feet and defend their home

…

Elven kingdom

“Oh my! No wonder he hadn’t messaged me when he got the chance, but isn’t this quite a surprise? Morris, you’re unpredictable as ever, now I began to doubt if allying with you was the correct answer. But aren’t you quite cocky? Do you think anyone can defeat me when it comes to strategy?”

[Main quest: Defend against the ones who desire to reach the World Tree, their intentions aren’t important just eliminate all threats. As the Elven King you must thwart the prophecized end of the world, and the outcome of such originated with the eradication of the Tree of Origins. Even if it cost you your life the preservation of the tree is of utmost importance]
