Never thought I, Granton, would be so embarrassed by heroes.
Thanks to the recovery potions, we blasted through the castle with ease and finally reached the second Demon General, Granton.
I don't know about the first two heroes, but... Do you two really believe what the King said?
As Camu and Vera defeated Granton's minions, he looked over, hands on his wounds.
Do you mean me and the Commandant of Gray Raven?
Correct. From what I heard, you already knew that King was plotting something.
Why are you still doing this if you already doubt him!?
Main...what!? Just like the last generation, you heroes always say weird things.
Of course I do...
Anyway, that King is the real monster. He wants to take the artifact from us and control this world.
With this stone alone?
Camu took out the jade after hearing Granton. The latter gnashed his teeth...
Right, this is it. The artifact was originally given to us Demons by the Goddess as an order to keep the Demons alive.
Yeah. Because of this artifact, we Demons have greater strength than humans.
She is... No, there is a spell on her name. We are unable to write or read it out.
The power of the artifact allowed us to summon the Demon King in the last war. The Goddess originally wanted to balance the power of both sides to reduce casualty.
But the Demon King escalated the war without discussing with us. Eventually, the heroes of the revelation arrived and destroyed us.
Speaking of which, what exactly does the "hero of the revelation" mean?
The revelation means the main quest. This is probably how the last generation of heroes called it.
Right... They felt sorry to us, but said they had no choice but to follow the revelation in order to win this game.
We saw it as the Goddess' punishment and didn't want to take it back to them. But the humans soon retaliated and wanted to take the artifact away from us.
We could have summoned the Demon King again with the artifact. But we only created four sanctuaries with it and sealed them against all humans.
You sealed them... But why are we standing right here?
Because you are heroes. Only the heroes can ignore the rules set by the Goddess.
Aha... No wonder he couldn't do this himself.
That's why you must stop working for the King. If you really are the heroes, you should do what's best for the world. We can promise to never attack humans again.
And... Please also go back and ask the King to leave us alone.
I met many people like him. Even if you threaten his life, it still won't work.
What...!?
Just use your brain. Do you think that King will listen to "heroes" like us?
I'll take that as a no.
Because we are also the "heroes of the revelation." Give us the artifact now!
