Chapter 479
Lucinil walked quietly around Port Mokna, under the night sky.
An Archdemon, a new world that had been created by Demon King Baalier, a place where humans and demons lived together...
Lucinil never thought such a thing was possible. The ancient hatred between demons and humans had seemed insurmountable. However, for all beings, survival was an absolute necessity.
The environmental limits of a nation of islands and the reality that the continent was overrun with monsters meant that both humans and demons had to choose between death or coexistence, which gave birth to a strange landscape in which humans and demons lived side by side.
Lucinil felt a sense of sadness that such a thing had only been possible when the world was close to destruction. Yet, the fact that such an eventuality had finally been reached evoked a strange ripple of emotions within her.
The circumstances that led to this landscape’s existence were complex, and Baalier, who could be considered the architect of this environment, had also been the catalyst behind the situation that birthed it. However, faced with that situation and the fact that it had all happened because of him, he had not collapsed nor succumbed, but had tried to achieve something beyond it. And in the end, he had accomplished something.
Because of that, Lucinil simultaneously felt sadness, pride, and admiration.
She was beyond the walls of the town, but because the monsters roaming around the area were regularly taken out, there were no monsters wandering about. However, even if there were monsters passing by, Lucinil was still a Vampire Lord.
Having lived for countless ages, and with the night belonging to her, there was no monster in this frontier that could threaten Lucinil. She walked through the outskirts of Port Mokna, observing the changed world.
In truth, it didn’t seem all that different. Not every place on the continent had been densely populated with humans, nor was the entire continent swarming with monsters.
The moonlit plains rose to greet her, caressed by a gentle breeze.
