(At Night, in the room of an Inn.)
「So you are a Demon, but why don't you have horns and murderous aura around you, Yami?」
I don't know, i also noticed that i don't have horns. Aether, do you know anything about this?
[Aether: I think i know, you don't notice but you have a strange aura around that is not related to demons or humans either.]
「Yami, can i ask who you are talking to?」
I am talking to Aether.
[Aether: Why i am her guide?]
「Who is Aether?」
Aether is my friend. Also, you can't see Aether. Because Aether is a skill of mine.
「Just what are you, Yami?」
(Giggles...)
Also, i want to ask you, when you are surrounded by people, why don't you escape?
「So you know, you never fail to surprise me. Well, it not about I don't, it's more about I can't.」
But why?
(Yuki puts her sword in front of Yami.)
「This is my Katana sword 'Yamikiri' also know as the Darkness Cutter. There a legend that says Yamikiri is the most powerful and cursed sword of the entirety. If the Yamikiri taste the blood, then it will not stop until the dead of his user. That's why i dont use Yamikiri?」
[Aether: Yami, can you take Yamikiri in your hands?]
But, okay.
Yuki, can i take your sword for a few minutes?
「Okay, but why?」
(Yami hold the sword.)
Aether, do as you wish.
[Aether used INFO.]
[Aether: Yami, what yuki says about this sword is correct. This sword skills are 'Eternal Hunger' and 'Soulrend'.
The main problem is 'Soulrend'. It is a skill that drain the life force of his user and every time the user use this sword, he loses his own humanity.]
I feel very bad for Yuki.
[Aether: But there is something wrong.]
And what's that?
[Aether: Yami, tell the yuki as i say...]
Yuki, I think you don't have to worry about anything. Aether, analyse your sword and found that, this sword not affect you in any way. This is strange but i think now you can use it without any worry.
「Are you telling the truth?」
Why don't you try it?
「Okay, since it's you, Yami.
(Yuki open the window and take a stance.)
(Take deep breaths...)
First stance of Crescent Style : Lunar Fang
(A powerful strike engulfed with the calm aura of yuki, fly out the window.)
I did it.」
See, i told you...
(Yuki hugs yami with tear in his eyes.)
「Thank you...thank you Yami. I thought i would never be able to do sword fighting again. Thank you very much.」
I am glad for you, Yuki.
Also, can you tell me more about this world. Since you live here, you now everything about this world.
「Okay, i tell you everything about this world. Lets start from the beginning.
Please, don't fall asleep.」
Okay, i will not.
「Good, let's start. First of all, this world is a magical world in which every type of race lives. But, some things you don't know about this world.
The origin of this world. Some legends says that this world is a balance of Light and Darkness. In this world there are Gods, dragons and even demon lords. You probably know about gods and goddesses. But do you know about dragons.
In this world, there are three types of dragons lives:
Elemental Dragons(Lesser-Dragon),
Mythical Dragons(Greater-Dragon),
Dragon Kings (Heavenly-Dragon).
There are 18 pure elemental Dragons types, and more than 250 hybrids dragons.
Mythical Dragons are the Greater dragons and more powerful than elemental Dragons. Some mythical dragons, even known as Deity.
Like Yinglong the god of sea and floods, Ryujin the god of storms, Vritra the god of chaos.
And the heavenly dragons, the kings of dragons. In present, there are two dragons kings:
Shesh Naga (The king of Good dragons)
Yamata No Orochi (The king of Evil dragons)
There are also demon lords, there are nine major demon lords:
1.Asmodeus (Demon Lord of Lust)
2.Sylphira (Demon Lord of Wisdom)
3.Astaroth (Demon Lord of Power)
4.Mahisha (Demon Lord of Hybrid)
5.Zeltharion (Demon Lord of Blood)
6.Nexar (Demon Lord of Shadow)
7.Demogorgon (Demon Lord of Dungeons)
8.Bel (Demon Lord of Sloth)
9.Samael (Demon Lord of Darkness)
Do you have any doubts?」
Yuki, just like gods, is there also a demon god?
「I don't think. There is no such thing as demon god in this world.」
「Also, the last thing is that in this world, every one can evolve in his own way. Monsters, demons, even humans can evolve if they can exceeds their limits.」
Okay.
[Aether: Ask her how the demon lords, and obtain the information as much as possible.]
Okay, Yuki, tell me more about the demon lords.
「Demon lords, i think you are right. Because you are demon, you have to know about the demon lords.
Okay, so as i told you, there are nine demon lords. You know about the two demon continents, the first continent is Yinrak, and the second one is Yangthar. Yinrak is ruled by the Demon Lord of Darkness, Samael. Except Nexar and Sylphira, every demon lord is under the Samael. Yangthar is ruled by the Demon Lord of Wisdom, Sylphira. And her only supporter is Demon Lord Nexar.
Now, you know why i ask you about the seven deadlord's region.
Only Demon Lord Sylphira and Nexar are Good Demon Lords.
Sylphira-sama is a human before, but after her evolution, she became a Demon Lord. And Nexar is a demon from the start, after meeting Sylphira-sama, his heart changed and he became her companion. Do you know about the war between Gods and Demon Lords, in that war also, Sylphira-sama helped the Gods in battle with demon lords. Because of her pure heart, Gods granted her 'Eternal Authority'.」
What is 'Eternal Authority'?
「This is a authority skill, so she can use the power of the Gods, when this is necessary.」
But after became a demon lord, how Sylphira-sama regains her sanity?
「That's because when she is a human, the Goddess of Moon gave her blessings. Also, after the Sylphira-sama became the ruler of Yangthar. The good demons also came in existence. And many demons and humans starts to co-exist.」
Then what do you think about me?
「I also think that your father is a demon and your mother is a human. But despite being a demon, you don't have horns. It only means tht your mother is more powerful than your father.」
I don't know about this. Also, i am sleepy right now. Can we sleep now?
「Sure, Good night, Yami.」
(Next Morning)
「Yami, wake up. We have to go now, wake up.」
Let me sleep for a few minutes.
(At the City Of the Light's Ruins.)
「I never thought you are such a sleeper.」
At last, I'm standing in front of the city of the Light's ruins.
Lets go, Yuki.
