196. Advent (1)
The place where Helya, who became a vampire, first opened her eyes was in a bedroom. Beside him was a gray-haired woman looking down at him.
‘Girl, are you awake?’
It was only then that Helya was able to recall the last memories of her time as a human.
Helya’s family made a living by chopping firewood and picking mushrooms near the Devil’s View. And Helya’s last memory was of being attacked by wolves that came out of the Devil’s Realm.
‘I’m sorry. The apostles lost sight of the monsters in the Devil’s Land.’
To sum it up, the apostles lost sight of the monsters in the Devil’s Land and were themselves bitten by wolves.
‘My name is Aster. What is the girl’s name?’
‘This is Helia… .’
With the power of the queen, Helya was given a new life. However, that life was not satisfactory.
Because I couldn’t go back to the human world.
Once upon a time, Helya had asked the Queen.
‘Queen, why are you saying no?’
The queen was afraid. I feared that the apostles would forget their duties and degenerate into monsters.
That’s why he has his own order and stays in the Devil’s Realm with the apostles. If so, why are you making apostles and playing family games?
Wouldn’t it be okay to live alone in the Devil’s Nest from the beginning?
‘You are no longer human. A proud vampire. How can I go back to the royal family?’
‘then… , Why did you save me?’
Isn’t that just to alleviate your guilt? However, Helia couldn’t ask that question.
I was not happy with the embrace of my new family. A body that could not easily die was a curse, not a blessing. And Helya never wanted to become a vampire herself.
She just wanted to return to the arms of humans.
However, Helya couldn’t bear to disobey the Queen’s will.
Time passed without a break.
Helya had no choice but to watch her family grow old. The more he did, the more cursed his body became.
He wanted to leave his loved ones one by one, but before he knew it, the world was completely different from what he remembered.
The mother missed her daughter until the end and died.
No one remembered him outside the Demonic Realm anymore.
And she’s never been happy since becoming a vampire.
I wanted a normal life. I wanted to be with my family and live a simple life even if it was not rich. She wanted to end her life as a mother of a child by marrying a naive but sincere young man in the village.
However, after becoming a vampire, he became unable to have children.
dissembler.
A queen who imprisoned herself in the Demon Realm in the name of protecting world peace. If that is not a monster, then what is a monster in this world?
The flames of hatred gradually grew.
And when the otherworldly beings went to war, Helya stabbed the queen right in the back.
‘It is you who made me into such a monster.’
Even after being stabbed by the sword, the queen smiled. It was a smile of resignation, as if he had known that she would betray him.
‘I’m sorry. However, if it can alleviate your hatred even a little, you can stab me as much as you like.’
The queen acted as if nothing had happened even after being stabbed by the sword. Helia couldn’t help the queen any more.
The queen smiled gently once and whispered as she passed Helya.
‘Prepare for war. helia. Soon, beings from the other world will invade this land.’
Why are you pretending to be so lofty?
Why do you… .
Helya knelt down on the spot.
The sword fell to the ground and made a metallic sound. I couldn’t bear to pursue the queen. And the knights led by Gamigin set foot in the castle of the Devil.
The queen lost her heart and the apostles scattered.
How should I live now?
The situation did not improve even when he joined Mine’s side.
Without eating or drinking, Helya wandered the Empire. It was a time when war was in full swing in the empire.
Having exhausted her energy, Helya reached a certain temple.
And there, he faced the statue of the Goddess. The moment I saw the statue of the goddess with a sublime and gentle smile, I was thrilled.
There was an unforgettable presence there.
Iros, creator of the world and goddess of light.
At that moment, the desire to become a god bloomed in Helya’s heart.
‘Aster… , I will do what you have not done.’
Helya swore in front of the goddess statue.

As soon as I reached Irban, I found the party. First of all, it would be more important to explain what happened to the party than to find the amplification stone.
And if there were still amplification stones in the labyrinth, he wanted to retrieve them.
When I returned to the base, Sepia rushed at me with tears in her eyes.
“Edaan… ! I was very worried.”
“sorry… , Did you wait a long time?”
I held that sepia in my arms and patted it.
[The Goddess of Wisdom is delighted with the thrilling reunion.]
[The most beautiful goddess doesn’t like this reunion.]
So what.
I don’t like anyone living anywhere, but I was happy with my reunion with my lover.
And I explained to the group what had happened to me. From the case of falling down the abyss while chasing a demon in the basement of the labyrinth to meeting the king of the underworld in Tartarus of the abyss. Of course, he hid the fact that Seir was the possessor.
“So, is that friend a demon?”
Klein cast a disapproving glance at Seir. He was ready to rush in and smash his head.
Surprised Seir looked at me.
I wanted to see Yoon Ah-hyun in trouble, but… . Still, it was true that they hated each other as they wandered through Tartarus together.
Besides, since I am a writer, I thought there would be many things that would help me in the future.
Although, so far it hasn’t helped much… .
“Yes, but it is true that the underworld helped me greatly. And I am against the human aggression of the Demon Realm.”
Klein looked troubled.
“If you say that, there must be a reason. However, the demons are not a reliable tribe. You take responsibility. However, if there is a problem, the Federation will deal with the demon and hold you accountable.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Anyway, it doesn’t fit. Even now, messages were flying in real time.
[The King of the Underworld pays attention to Edan’s future steps.]
[The Queen of the Underworld is cheering you on.]
I suddenly felt like I was possessed by a constellation in an academy. But for the time being, I had no choice but to adapt to the current situation.
There are quite a few things that can be bought through the system.
[The most beautiful goddess sponsored you 3000 points.]
[The Goddess of Wisdom sponsored you 5000 points.]
[Sponsored 7000 points saying that the most beautiful goddess cannot lose.]
Above all, it was sponsored in real time.
I don’t know exactly how the system related to channels works. I’ll have to figure that out later.
The Dragon’s Strongest I’ve read was often progressed from Arthur’s point of view with a status window rather than Reus’s point of view with a channel.
Then someone knocked on the conference room door.
When Grandelph gave permission, a dwarf raised his voice.
“I’m sorry during the meeting. However, I have something urgent to report, so excuse me.”
“What is it?”
At Grandelph’s question, the Dwarf salivated.
“that is… . The sun is disappearing.”
“The sun is disappearing?”
With that said, we went outside and headed to the entrance of Irban.
The sky was already dyed purple, and the sun, which should have risen high, had disappeared.
It was similar to the sky I saw the other day when I visited the entrance to the demon realm.
But even though the sun had disappeared, it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t distinguish the outlines of objects, like on a dark, overcast night.
[The Goddess of Wisdom is closely wary of strange phenomena.]
[The most beautiful goddess casts a puzzled gaze.]

I gently bit my dry lips at this strange phenomenon. Yoon Ah-hyun seemed lost in the air and lost her words.
Soon I realized what had happened.
The amplification stone passed into Mine’s hands. And now, someone with power comparable to that of the demon lord was descending to the present world.
The holy sword that was worn around the waist vibrated like a warning.
“This is a signal that a new demon king has descended… .”
Ahyeon, who was beside him, muttered in despair. In the end, what I feared was happening right in front of my eyes.
In other words, it meant that the world was doomed.
