Chapter 127: Akumetsu! (Demon’s Annihilation!)
Nao’s POV:
I managed to bring Vorx back to her senses and purify her curse. The same went for Zorx. The dark malice that had once consumed them was completely gone. A wave of relief washed over me, knowing I had succeeded. But even so, a pressing question lingered in my mind—one that I couldn’t ignore.
What exactly was the curse that the Demon King had implanted in Vorx and Zorx? And who was this "God (???)"?
The weight of the unknown gnawed at me as I turned to them, my voice carrying both curiosity and concern.
"Vorx... Zorx... What kind of curse was placed upon your bodies and souls? And who is this ’God (???)’?"
Vorx furrowed her brows, struggling to recall the past. "I... don’t remember much about the process. But one thing is certain—the curse was given to us by the Overlords, through the Demon King’s blood, which carried his will. After drinking it, my brother and I lost consciousness. And when we awoke... we had gained tremendous power and were reborn as Demon Warlords."
Zorx nodded, his expression dark. "That’s right. We obtained overwhelming strength... but in exchange, the curse took hold of us. Our hatred for humans grew stronger by the day. Our thirst for blood became insatiable. And if we didn’t kill, the rage inside us would consume us... turning us into mindless beasts."
I clenched my fists. The implications of this curse were far worse than I had imagined.
"I don’t know anything about this ’God (???)’ you mentioned," Zorx continued. "But one thing is clear—all demons, especially high-ranking ones like the Overlords, bear this curse. That’s why this war will never end. As long as the curse exists... demons will always be driven to slaughter humans." His voice trembled with frustration as he clenched his hands into fists.
So that’s how it was... The root of this conflict wasn’t just hatred—it was this curse, binding demons in an endless cycle of bloodshed.
"Zorx, Vorx... I swear, I will uncover the truth behind this curse. And I will free the demon race from its suffering!" I declared with unwavering resolve.
