Chapter 82: Like Father, Like Son
Illiya couldn’t help but laugh, then began explaining their request. "Of course, it’s nothing evil like that. We just want you to lead us into the Demon Realm."
Seeing that the two demons still looked skeptical, Illiya began to feel a bit of a headache coming on.
"It’s like this: during our journey, I encountered a fallen demon who seemed to have merged with a human. That’s why I want to go to the Demon Realm. As for the others... it’s better if they explain it themselves."
Seeing this, Seoryun took the initiative to reveal his identity. "I am the King of Areuseon Kingdom, so I think you know why I want to go to the Demon Realm. Honestly, I really don’t want to go, but sometimes... appearances matter."
N’zall suddenly understood. The moment he heard the words "Areuseon Kingdom," it all made sense.
"Oh, it’s about the war that happens every fifty years, right? The demons and your Areuseon Kingdom already made peace centuries ago. Don’t you know that you can go directly to the Demon Realm without crossing through the borderlands?"
Seoryun looked utterly confused. He truly did not know this. No one had ever told him.
One glance at his blank face, and N’zall instantly understood.
"You definitely ran away from home right after coming of age," N’zall said with complete certainty. "Because Hwanseong Jinmu—your father—said the exact same thing before the last war. He didn’t know you could directly enter the Demon Realm either. And just like you, when Hwanseong Jinmu came of age, he ran off to the demon realm to play hero."
