The Rising Of The Fallen Warlord - 110

“Yurishia, you need to eat something. Say AAA!”

“Don’t worry, Yurishia. We just need to try harder.”

“Yurishia, why don’t you put your head on my lap and rest a bit?”

Each step I took towards Liliana triggered a memory inside me. My heart is still conflicted. Deep down I still wanted to believe in her. I wanted to believe that she had nothing to do with it.

Right now she was shaking. She was afraid, and it was natural. She believes I defeated Beelzebub with little effort, so she knows there is no room to escape.

“Liliana…”

“Yu… Yurishia! I… I’m so glad to see you! You have no idea how much I missed you!”

She tried forcing a smile, but that only made her face more twisted.

“…”

“B… Beelzebub had a powerful influence. Even in his dormant state… he… he poisoned my mind.”

When I got close to her, I stopped and firmly asked her.

“Liliana, do you realize what you did to me?”

“Wait! You mustn’t judge too quickly. We were like sisters, remember? It wasn’t my fault. Byron and Volmund were to blame! I tried to stop them but…”

“Silence!”

I used my Ruin Eyes on her. Because of the shock her mental resistance was weak so it was easy to compell her body to not move. I clenched my fist to the point I started bleeding.

“Excuses… all I hear is excuses. Liliana… do you even know what I have been through? How much I suffered?”

Tears also started to pour on my cheeks. I was expressing feelings I thought I locked up forever.

“Liliana… I wanted to believe in you. I wanted to give you a chance. But all you are giving me are excuses. All I wanted was an apology. If you asked for my forgiveness, I would have given it to you. A simple “I’m sorry” would have done it, and I was ready to forget everything.

The pain of your betrayal, the 10 years I suffered in prison, I was ready to erase it all like you would wipe a blackboard clean. But… you have chosen this past.”

Liliana… you were my first love. The very first woman I fell for.

“Liliana… for you I wanted to be a tolerant person. I was ready to forgive you, but seeing what you became I know that was a mistake, although it pains me to admit it.”

I stared straight at Liliana. I’m not even sure anymore what kind of face I have right now with all these emotions.

“Liliana… in the end… my patience reached it’s limits. You brought me to my boiling point and… I can’t forgive you anymore.”

I grab Liliana by the scruff of her neck and deactivated my Ruin Eyes.

“….Wha…..what are you going to do with me………!?”

As soon as she speaks an electric current runs through my hand and eats into her body, sending her crashing on the ground

“……Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………..!!”

Liliana glares at me while grovelling on the floor. I step on her head and press it against the floor.

“C… curse you! Do you think the royal families will stand for this?”

“For your pathetic ideals… for nobility? You traded our friendship for a concept like that? The fake society you created… was it worth it?”

“Gyaaa…..Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…….Gieeeeeeeeeeeeeee……..!!!”

I put more weight on Liliana’s head. I could brainwash her and have her serve me like I did with the vampires and Amelia… but even if I change her appearance, it would be a constant reminder of that pain. I won’t be able to move on.

“Liliana, there is a single act of kindness I can show you right now. And that is… granting you a painless death.”

“Wait! Stop!! Please… I… I’m sorry!! I can change… I…”

“Too late. Farewell, Liliana. I hope you find what you seek in your eternal sleep.”

“YUURISHIAAAAAA!”

I unleashed a torrent of purple flames, vaporizing her body in an instant. A powerful burst. She died before she could feel the heat or any pain. Liliana… my love… it’s over. My revenge is now complete. All the people that wronged me are dead.

I didn’t have any strength left in my feet. I fell on my knees and started crying. I felt it was the only thing I could do now. And Shizu and the worshippers didn’t dare to stop me. They let me cry to my hearts content. I can only hope that from now on… My heart can heal and I find some peace myself.

A void like space was spreading as far as the eye could see. In this vast empty space a single rock was floating. On top of that rock, the S class dimensional Mazoku Syrius was bowing before a woman. Syrius, which was formerly known as Guilford Pendragon, was presenting his report.

“So, you see, Lady Yurishia has finally done it. All 3 main pillars of the factions have been killed. And with Zeshia in her possession, there is no choice for the Mazoku race, but to bestow her the title of the Maou.”

The woman listened carefully while sitting on her stone throne. Her expression was indiferent, as if she was expecting that result.

“My Queen, shall we try forcing our way? Send another wave.”

“Absolutely not. The rifts that I granted you can’t handle Zeshia’s power. If she slices through even one of them, the gateway will forever be closed and our plans will be ruined. We will stop our activities on the demon continent for now. That’s not the only place we can surface. The human kingdoms will work just as well. Dealing with it’s 7 heroes should also be less painful.”

“My Queen, why go out of our way just because of a woman? Just say the word and I personally will go and kill her! With her death, any hope they have will…”

Before Syrius could finish his sentence, the woman instantly got up her throne and closed the gap between them. Her appearance was frightening. Long silver hair alongside a pair of fox ears, a swimsuit like black armor with high skin exposure, and various floating accessories around her. Her left eye had an eye patch that was generating a large amount of energy.

“Don’t forget your place, Syrius. I picked you up when you almost went insane and were on the brink of despair. Never question my judgement.”

“A… forgive me.”

“As for Yurishia… I want to meet her in person.”

“Ugh… she won’t join our side. I tried to convince her but she is too stubborn.”

“I’ll be the judge of that. After all, I can be very persuasive. I convinced you haven’t I? And if it’s a small chat those idiot Gods won’t even notice.”

“I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t understand. Why… why are you going to such lengths for her?”

“Let’s just say… in a way… we’re family.”
