Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 82

“Now, let’s see who you are.”

The robed man puts his hand on his hood.

Is this the man who distributed the drugs? How many of  his people are there? Where do they make it?

There are so many questions I want to ask him, and I need him to tell me everything.

…………”

The guy pulls off his hood, revealing the rest of his body .

“…… his has horns, and red eyes.”

The man’s eyes are red and the whites of his eyes are black, whereas a human’s would be white. He had a pair of distinctive horns on his forehead that were a few centimeters long. He was about six feet tall. He was small for a member of the Ogre Tribe. And the ogre tribe did not have red eyes.

And as far as I know, there is only one race with red eyes and horns. It is —- that my father defeated in a deadly fight more than ten years ago.

—-: Demon.”

Hearing my words, the man raised his eyebrows, and then he replied to me.

Yes,” he said. I am what you call a demon. . But then again, you’ve only been alive for ten years or so basing your appearancet. How could you have known I was a demon?

I had heard about them.

Well, I thought the information on the demon was confidential.

I just happened to have a chance to know about it. Are you really a demon ,right ……?

What do you expect me to say? Even if I were to confirm it, there would be no basis for you to judge it to be true.

Well, it looks like it’s true. ……

The quality of the magic power i felt from him is extraordinary. It’s as if he has forcibly deviated from the laws of the world, and I sense a very evil presence. It is alive and yet dead,—-, such a twisted impression.

‘But can humans fly these days? I was very surprised when you flew over.

I’m the only one who can fly. ……Now, are you ready to get punishment?　You’ve been making all kinds of schemes an was getting away with it . ……”

“Well, you have first-rate capabilities,” . You are very formidable foe.

That’s my line. Even though the power of the attack was small because it was casted on the spot, he still managed to avoid a special attack that even the “Thunderbolt” Siegfried could not avoid: the “Gust of Wind. In other words, he is even faster than Siegfried.

“I have no choice. …… I’m not a big fan of bloodletting because it’s not my style.”

He acted as if he had no doubt in his mind that he was going to win. I don’t get why I did not tried to get away from  him >.

“I’m sorry, but now that you’ve learned  that I am  demon, I have no choice but to deal with you. ,  for the sake of my noble  mission, you must understand.”

Apparently, the reason he was running away was because he wanted to keep his identity a secret. Since he couldn’t get away from me, he decided he had to keep his mouth shut.

“Noble mission,” I said, “do you intend to achieve world peace?”

If you mean peace for the demon world, then yes, I would say that.

…… This is a bad thing. The “demon principles” or rather, they don’t consider anyone other than the demon people as worthy of survival in the first place.

It is also against my rules not to pursue the possibility of not shedding blood, even though …… ”

What the hell is this bastard trying to say?

“- you are not interested in becoming a demon?

“Hah ?”

What did this guy just say?　…… “become a demon”?　But it’s possible for people of other races to be turned into a demon Basing on what he says it, it sounds as if that possible Humans can become demons as well ?

…… Maybe a demon is not a “race”?

“When you become a demon, your magical power increases even more than when you was human, your becomes immortal, you will not die from disease, you won’t be tormented by vulgar emotions, .. A demon is the evolution of a human being, The demon is the ultimate form of life created by God, and it surpasses all other forms of life.”

My head was getting confused. Was this guy trying to say that he was a former human being?

I, myself, was once a humble human being, but my evolution into a demon has made me release that the world is not for inferior beings like human . Demons deserve to be the rulers of the world.

“Rulers of the …… world, huh?”

” You are qualified to become a demon. Let me take off your filthy skin and help you to be transformed into demon .”

“How can i become a demon?”

I asked him with a certain doubt in my mind. If this is a way , I must defeat him.

It’s easy. All you needs is to be fed with a demon blood .

How do I get a demin blood?

Take the potion. The men you were fighting earlier had explosive physical abilities by taking a potion containing demon blood.

“Is that how all demons are born?”

“No. That was just  a way to increase the population of demons further. Normally, a person who is given demon blood will die in nine out of ten cases. However, by passing that potion, the chance of being compatible with demon blood can be raised from a few hundredths to about one-tenth”

I breathe out deeply to suppress the burning emotions that wells up from deep inside my body, and ask the demon in front of me again.

“…… That means that nine out of every ten people will die?”

You’re right. The lower creatures who are not qualified to be demons should be eliminated.”

“………… understands.”

“Oh, you get it . Then let’s start with the demon potion.”

” We, the human race, are incompatible with you demons!”

The people in the slum were irredeemable criminals, but they still could not be allowed to die unconditionally. In the process of policing them, there might be fights , and they might die in them. Or they could be put on trial and, depending on the severity of their crimes, even be executed.

However, there is no way that all of them should be deprived of their human dignity and die in cold blood. They had the right to be a trialed , and because they were human, they had the right to die like human beings.

And yet, this demon deprived them of their rights. Just for their selfish desires .

“………… I see. But I don’t understand. Why don’t you aim for higher position? The people who have just come before you harmed you. You will catch them and judge them. What difference is there between a man judging a man and a demon choosing a man and killing him? Both woll be end up dead. Don’t you think it is very nonsense that one is favored and the other is denied?

Demons may have their own logic. However, it is nothing but a selfish and self-centered logic that ignores the rights of the human side. Such a logic that lacks a basic things can only lead to a wrong conclusion.

“Well, it’s the same for us ”

We cannot lives with demons. Then we, the human race, can only survive by killing the demons.

The same is true for the demons. The only way to rise species of demons is to kill us humans, extract those who are suitable from among them, and forcibly change them into demons. Otherwise, the few demons will eventually be eliminated by the human race.

This is a battle for the survival of the species. If either side compromises, one of them will eventually came over the top .

As a human, as a nobleman who protects the rights of human society, I must defeat him.

Humans and demons. The battle to death was about to begin.
