Dragon Maken War Chapter 147 - Heaven and Hell (3)

Chapter 147 - Heaven and h.e.l.l (3)

The Albatan forest was a demonic land located at the eastern end of the continent. The members of the Plain of Darkness didn’t dare intrude on this location thanks to the beings that ruled over the forest. When high caliber troops like Niberis and Duran was sent out to find the whereabouts of Saibein, they avoided all confrontations within the forest. Instead, they had run away at first sign of danger. They had to be very cautious in their search.

This had been the case during and before the Dragon Demon war. It was a demonic land that was left over from the olden days…….

“Can you guarantee that the wise Dragon Albatan won’t be hostile towards us?”

-I can’t.

“Wait a moment. You can’t?

-However, I can’t think of another place to go to. Especially now...

“Especially now?”

-The Demon King Balserk spoke about it. He said the answer is with Albatan.

“What?”

Yuren became surprised. Azell spoke.

-My curiosity is mounting as to who the guide really is. He is reading my moves as if he had seen my future. How could he arrange all of this without it?

“Mmmm…….”

-If there were other options available to me, I might have rejected what he had arranged for me. These subtle arrangements fit too well with my situation. It makes me wonder if I’m drinking from a poisoned well.

“You are saying we have no other options?”

-The cards we hold is limited. If we had been successful in completely escaping the clutches of our enemies then maybe…..

“It’s fine. If we are going to die anyways, I’d rather not to be killed by the Dragon Demon king wors.h.i.+ppers. When we have time, I’ll take a nap. Maybe, the guide will give us a decent plan.”

Azell and Kairen was taken aback by his words, so they stared at Yuren. Kairen spoke.

“I know you trust the guide, but…. Is it ok to put all your eggs in one basket by blindly trusting the guide?”

“I’ve always lived liked this. Maybe, I’m the one that should be called a fanatic.”

Azell and Kairen was at a loss for words. The more they saw this side of Yuren it became harder for them to understand him.

Yuren queried.

“What was the truth that Balserk wanted to impart on us?”

-He wanted to tell us about the ident.i.ty of the Demon race.

“Mmm?”

Azell told the two puzzled men about the last conversation he shared with Balserk.

Balserk spoke.

“You are kind. So is it three lines?”

“What?”

Azell became surprised at Balserk’s words.

Demons had deep ill will towards humans, and they led humans to destruction by baiting them with knowledge. How could beings that are so engrossed in destroying humans be humans themselves?

Balserk cackled.

“…honestly, I am surprised. However, it isn’t as if it is unbelievable.”

“You said they were humans.”

“The beings that hate humans the most are humans. If you frame it like that, it seems obvious.”

The ones that had the deepest understanding of humans were other humans. The ones that were capable of hating humans the most was also humans.

Azell didn’t know any existence that hated humans more than other humans. Hatred and ill will towards other humans seemed like a natural phenomena.

Balserk spoke.

“What are you referring to?”
