Reincarnation Monarch

As Gaius continued to fly at high speed with Karin on his shoulder for about three minutes, a different form of building, obviously never seen before, came into view on the other side compared to the surrounding buildings and every building he had ever seen.

"... could it be... is that it? ……

Gaius asked Karin, who was on his shoulder somewhat overwhelmed by the building's different atmosphere and not too immense.

Karin then answered with a very bright energetic tone, without being able to take into account anything at all, such as Gaius's inner heart.

"That's right. That's Astarot's castle."

"... to live in a castle... but unlike the mansions of the Delkias, you will live in a castle..."

"That's right. Master Astarot is one of the finest demons in the world."

"... I knew it..."

"Oh, you knew that, didn't you?

"No, I just felt like that somehow, and I didn't know it. In fact, I don't know how many sequences..."

"I don't know that either. I mean, there's no set sequence among the most basic demons. It's just that I always sit in the upper seat when the top demons gather, so I guess the balance of power among the top demons puts me at the top - and I just take it personally."

"I see. By the way, how's Grasha-Laboras?

"Basically, you're down there. So, well, isn't that where the subordinate groups are? Even so, it must be the most powerful demon in the world, so far it's more stressful than Delkia."

"The way you put it, you mean there's not much difference between the top and the top?

"That's right. 'Cause it's not like you can draw lines beautifully. I'm just classifying it for convenience. Besides, if those who took the time to train themselves, albeit the inferior ones, and those who stayed away for a long time, albeit the superior ones, if they fought, wouldn't it be natural for the battle between them to be fierce?

"Are you lazy with Grasha-Laboras?

"I've never heard of you working out well."

"I see. So maybe Delkia is better than Glasha-Laboras."

"Right. Besides, there's something compatible about fighting. If we fight now, Delkia might win."

"Then Delkia will join the top demons."

"Right. It's almost replacement season, and maybe we'll both fight."

"Replacement battle!? Is there such a thing?

"Every four years, the inferior ones nominate the superior ones to fight! It's going to be so exciting - it's one hell of an event!

"... Sounds like the Olympics... or the World Cup..."

"Yeah? What?

"No, talk about this one. I mean, talk about the world over there. It's about time we got to Astalotto's castle, but where do I get in from? Naturally, you can't just fly over the walls like this, can you?

"Naturally! Look, over there, you see a little gate on your left, right?

"... the gates and everything, everything from the building is black and I can't tell which is the gate from here..."

"Look, there it is! On the left! There are different colors! Look closely!

"... ah... that... I don't know..."

Gaius swallowed words there.

Because the design of the gate that Karin pointed to stopped in Gaius's eyes.

It was a gateway to a disastrous design that cut countless heads of various animals, humans, and demons and filled them without gaps.

"... I knew I'd stop seeing you..."

Gaius began to grudgingly regret coming to see Astalot.
