Spirits become what their rumors and legends state.
It seems that the personality that demons and humans spoke of is controlling you.
Controlling?
Misa Ilioroagu was a temporary form.
I am Avos Dilhevia,
the one who will turn Dilhade into a kingdom ruled by royalty
and guide the world to its correct state.
And to do that, Demon King Anos Voldigoad,
you are a misfit and a fake. I will end you.
It was quite a grand riddle,
but the answer is very simple once you know it.
The battle of wits with Ziek
was intended to shift my suspicions away from the god-child.
He was given one lie to make me think about which statement was the lie.
That is why he did not lie. In order to hide the truth.
You are the Violent Demon King, so you have the Magic Eyes of Destruction.
You are both a pure demon as well as a half-spirit, half-demon.
And...
I do know your name.
I gave him some bait at the time.
I said that Ziek had planted a false memory in himself.
He took that bait and pretended my statement was true.
And before he met his end,
he actually planted a false memory in himself.
That would cast doubt on all the statements in the battle of wits.
I would not be able to determine the identity of the god-child,
or so you thought.
His actual objective in assaulting Meleheyth, was to delay the broadcast.
If news spread that Avos Dilhevia did not exist,
you would cease to exist.
Gerad and the Spirit King were to put Misa in danger
and awaken her spirit form.
Is that right?
What good is knowing now? It's too late.
All demons throughout Dilhade believe that I am the Violent Demon King.
Too late? No, it is not.
What you want is the Law Destroyer.
You did not kill me immediately
because it will take time to take possession of it.
Silence, fool.
Isn't it funny, Anos? Everything has been taken from you.
You are just an everyday demon now.
Do not push your luck, you imitation.
You can take many things, but you cannot take my identity from me.
Bask in your delusions of grandeur for the moment
until the true Demon King returns.
A barrier?
It seems so.
Teleporting directly is not possible.
It is made with a great amount of mana.
Lord Anos!
Was that magic broadcast...
Did Misa turn into the fake Demon King?
She has not changed.
Half of Misa
was always made of rumors and legends of Avos Dilhevia.
I created that legend...
Because I created a false Demon King,
she...
The past is of no consideration now.
We must defeat Avos Dilhevia as soon as possible.
That's true.
The extreme royalists will likely obey her.
Demons of mixed blood will be in danger.
But half of Misa is Avos Dilhevia, right?
If that disappears, Misa won't be able to live.
She'll have spirit disease.
No, we just need to think of a way to save Misa and defeat only Avos.
I do not complain about being unable to accomplish something this impossible.
2,000 years ago, all I did was give up.
This time, I won't give up on anything.
So you do not intend to let us leave, Eniyunien?
Sorry, but I cannot allow you to slay Mother Leno's child.
This is the Cocoon of Remediation.
You cannot leave this school until the lesson is over.
I can understand your intentions,
but I cannot listen to your instruction.
It is futile.
Any and all violence is forbidden in this space.
My violence is not your average violence.
It is futile. Nothing you do...
What?
We go.
Anos Voldigoad.
-Niggit? -Who?
One of my subordinates from 2,000 years ago.
He was once spirited away.
By my liege's orders, I will take your source!
Eges. Where is Lena?
She's fine.
I saved those men from being spirited away,
but it seems we've got trouble on our hands.
It seems that the god-child has taken your subordinates from 2,000 years ago.
Half of them have already headed towards Delsgade.
I will take this battle.
I'll be soft in your place. I won't kill them.
It seems you have grown softer these past 2,000 years,
King of the Netherworld.
As I said before, it's all circumstances.
We simply have the same goal.
Now, go.
Anos!
It seems you are safe.
Yeah, the person with the eyepatch saved me.
You're going outside, right?
Yes. Do you know how to exit?
I don't think you can get out by normal means right now.
But... Tithi!
Lena!
It's Lena!
Lena's in trouble!
We want to get out of here. Can we?
They said not to let the Demon King and his friends out.
Because Avos Dilhevia has awakened.
Have to protect Leno's child.
Please. There's someone that I really have to see.
Please!
Then it's a secret!
Okay if it's a secret!
-A secret from everyone! -Okay!
Bye, Lena!
-See you! -See you again!
What do we do now?
We can teleport outside the barrier.
We can head to Delsgade from there.
Um...
Can you take me with you?
A spirit that has lost her memory.
She seeks to see the Spirit King.
She cannot be unrelated to the current situation.
Perhaps...
You have unfinished business from 2,000 years ago.
I think so.
I see. Then you may come with us.
Thank you!
How do we enter?
We break through, obviously.
Wait. Someone's coming.
The misfit and his subordinates will appear somewhere near these gates.
Who is that person?
Elio Ludowell.
In the war between Azeshion and Dilhade,
he was the royalty who led the Midhaze Army.
-Split into two and search for the enemy. -Yes, sir!
Your defense is weak, Elio.
You are practically telling me to walk right in.
Lord Elio.
I see.
It seems that some are not under Avos Dilhevia's control.
Yes.
However, apart from us few, our forces believe the outsider.
Those who are less aware that you are the true Demon King
are likely more susceptible.
Do you only need to know for sure that Avos Dilhevia is a fake?
What about the Seven Ancients and your subordinates?
Demons from 2,000 years ago are subordinates of the Demon King per legend.
She has greater control as a result.
What is the state of the city?
The city is covered by Demera,
a spell to plant the will of Avos Dilhevia.
The royalists who believe the outsider to be the Violent Demon King
are particularly affected by it.
Nobles of pure blood, kill the mixed-blood fools and misfits.
So it is just like Asc.
It seems that it also drains mana from those of mixed blood.
Some of the royalists have already grown violent in parts of the city.
It may devolve into a riot at this rate.
It's okay.
We know perfectly well that Anos didn't do anything bad.
Isn't that right?
He'll come back safe and sound.
That's for sure.
Why?
Why do I have to be in this fix?
Turned into a Mudblood by that despicable spell!
With no idea when I can return!
You can't escape anymore!
Stop this! I am a Highblood!
What? What kind of nonsense...
False claims to royalty are an insult to the Ancestor.
It's a heavy crime.
Did you think you'd fool us?
You Mudbloods make no sense. How you think makes no sense either.
Your mana is so clearly Mudblooded!
My mana is being drained!
Rejoice,
for your dirty mana will feed us royalty!
You Mudbloods are only alive by the mercy of the Ancestor!
Never defy your royal overlords! Obey us!
That is the life of a Mudblood!
Why? Why do I have to suffer this?
Quit playing the victim!
It's your own fault for being so vulgar and not born with pure blood!
You weren't born Highbloods.
What's wrong here is you!
You Mudbloods are below the Highbloods!
Have you learned your lesson?
This is the life of a Mudblood.
In the name of the true Violent Demon King, Avos Dilhevia,
you will feed the noble royalty.
Stop that!
Let her go right now!
Who are you?
Wait a minute. That's Anos's mother.
Oh? That's good news.
We'll make you an example for him!
Izabella, now!
Yes!
Are you all right?
Let's go. This place is dangerous.
Why would you save me?
I am not royalty any longer.
And...
It's okay. I'm on your side.
Being of mixed blood isn't a reason for them to kick you.
Hey, you think we'd let you escape?
Izabella...
Dear!
Now, maybe you'll sit still.
If you so much as move, you know what will happen.
And what will happen?
That's obvious!
I'll cut you into eight pieces and send you to that misfit!
-A-Anos? -I see.
You like the number eight.
Wh-What are you doing to us?
You think you can do this and get off scot-free?
You wouldn't...
No! You'll really cut us into eight...
Relax. I will not cut you into eight.
I will cut you into 888.
The root of all of this is Avos Dilhevia.
Stay alive as best you can, in pieces for the time being.
Anos!
I'm so glad you're safe!
We believed that you'd come back no matter what.
But the Demon King wants to kill you, Anos.
There has to be some mistake, right?
Yes. It is all a misunderstanding.
It will be resolved soon enough.
That's right! I knew it!
This house is a barrier that I created.
Avos Dilhevia's eyes cannot reach us.
Oh, good.
Thank you for protecting me.
You can rest inside if you'd like.
No, but...
Rest for the time being.
The unrest in the city should quiet in a few days.
Don't be a stranger. What's your name?
-Emilia. -So you're Emilia!
Come now, I have some good tea cakes!
Yes.
But wow, you've brought quite a few girls home this time.
Dad doesn't have anything left to teach you...
Your father's completely healed already?
Alt.
I cast an enchantment which automatically heals the weak on him.
Because I did not tell him not to do anything rash.
He went out not knowing about it?
No less from Anos's parents!
Yes.
The question is how we get into Delsgade.
We can't enter through the gate.
We're forced to hold back, after all. And they know that too.
They're trying to use up Anos's mana.
And they're buying time until they can steal the Law Destroyer.
They're supposed to be the Violent Demon King.
Why can't they steal the Law Destroyer right now?
Because there are no rumors or legends of the Law Destroyer.
I rarely drew it, and all who saw it died.
However...
There is a legend that Delsgade is the Violent Demon King's castle.
They likely intend to use its power and their own mana
to acquire the Law Destroyer.
This also means that Avos Dilhevia can't do things that aren't in legends.
-Precisely. -Wait, was there a place like that?
Oh, that's it!
The city that the Zeshias live in!
I added that part after I reincarnated.
Their eyes cannot reach it.
But doesn't Meleheyth know about it?
I have not told him how it was constructed.
The Zeshias are there too, after all.
My sisters are strong.
That's right.
If any enemy comes, they'll rout them in a flash!
Now then.
-Do we all go? -No.
You girls remain here. Take care of my parents.
-Yes! -Leave them to us!
We'll protect them!
The rest of us will head towards Delsgade.
You descend first. Eleonore, you lead the way.
You got it.
Unfortunately, we do not have much time.
If you have something to say, say it now.
P-Please...
You're satisfied, aren't you?
Kill me.
End me. Please.
You do not ask for your blood back.
Can you turn me back?
Even if you are turned back, time will not turn back.
If left as it is,
Midhaze will become the city of royalty which you once desired.
Do you think it is beautiful?
What do you mean?
If you were in the ruling class, if you were royalty,
would you be able to live and believe that this city is beautiful?
After living part of your life with mixed blood,
if you regained your pure blood,
would you still consider yourself noble?
If you still would believe so,
then I will turn you back.
You can go to serve Avos Dilhevia.
Emilia.
You defended my mother.
Thank you.
Then what am I... supposed to do?
It really is a whole city...
Everyone's having a great time here. I'm glad.
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
In a book, or paintings perhaps.
I recreated the city from 2,000 years ago.
A book...
Open.
What is this?
It is connected to the dungeon which was originally under the castle.
However, they will be prepared for us entering from here.
Are you prepared?
"The Mother Great Spirit and the Demon King's Right Arm".
