Chapter 117
It was a large mansion, but it doesn’t look like its being used, or at the very least it’s not visited often as the tree’s and plants are all overgrown .
You can see that the iron fence is all rusted and parts of the outer wall are loose and some parts of the walls have fallen over . Even the glass in the windows is cracked .
Ray and Misa were walking through the dusty halls of the mansion with Gerard walking in front of them . Eventually, they stopped in what would have been the grand hall .
In the hall was a pedestal with half a demon sword stuck in it .
“Do you understand?” (Gerard)
Misa stares at the sword .
“…… . This is the sword my father gave me… . ?” (Misa)
Gerard nods .
“I intend to prove that I am a messenger sent by your father . ” (Gerard)
He glanced at Ray .
“You seem cautious . ” (Gerard)
“Yet apparently you no longer seem worried . ” (Ray)
Ray smiled his usual refreshing smile at Gerard .
Gerard pulls the half-sword out .
“You should check it directly to make sure . ” (Gerard)
Gerard walks towards Misa with the sword and slowly presents it to her .
“Thank yo–” (Misa)
Just as Misa was about to reach for the sword in a fluid motion Gerard flipped the sword and thrust the tip into her .
“I’m sorry but I’ve been ordered to kill you . ” (Gerard)
“Oh?” (Ray)
An unconcerned Ray speaks up . A few moments ago he had nothing in his hands but he now held the unique sword Sigshesta .
“… . . That’s …… . . ?” (Gerard)
Feeling something was off Gerard stopped and withdrew the sword from Misa . The tip of the sword that he thought he’d thrust into Misa was missing leaving only a neat cut line on the sword .
With a speed that no eye could follow Ray had cut and erased the tip of the sword .
“Ray-san… . ” Misa says uneasily .
“It’s okay, you’re safe . Fall back . ” (Ray)
“… . Yes… . . ” (Misa)
Ray steps forward to protect Misa .
“Can I ask one thing?” (Ray)
Without showing any concern Gerard answers in a dignified manner .
“What is it?” (Gerard)
“If your lord really is her father then why are you trying to kill her?” (Ray)
Gerard drew a magic formation and took a small shield out . The shield had a blue jewel embedded in each corner .
“I’m very sorry but that was a lie . It is the will of my master the curse king Kaihiram Jiste . My purpose is to take the origin of Misa Iriologue who carries the blood of the great spirit Reno . ” (Gerad)
Misa’s eyes went wide in surprise .
“… . Great spirit… . . Reno… . . ?” (Misa)
“Yes . You are the biological child of the great spirit Reno the mother of all spirits . Unlike other spirits she bore you directly in her body . Your origin contains the power to subdue all spirits . ” (Gerard)
Due to being shocked Misa didn’t answer right away .
“Assuming that’s true . ” Ray said calmly . ” Then why does the mazoku called Kaihiram Jiste have the sword that her father gave her?” (Ray)
“It’s a fake . ” (Gerard)
“Why are you lying?” (Ray)
Gerard doesn’t answer so Ray continues .
“My demon eyes aren’t very good, but I do know a lot about swords and that demon sword is certainly the half-sword that was in the union tower . ” (Ray)
Ray sets his sword up .
“I’ll have you tell me the truth . ” (Ray)

With Zeshia walking by her side Eleonor arrived at the castle of demon emperor Elio that governs Midheys .
“The people from the hero academy should be waiting here for me . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor addresses a butler who guides them to lodgings that are set apart in a separate part of the castle .
After finding a magic tool left by Jerga, Ledoriano and the others might have relied on the demon emperor Elio who was actively involved in the post-war clean-up .
“This room here . ”
The butler stops in front of a luxurious door and knocks .
“Ledoriano-sama I have Eleonor-sama here . ”
There’s no answer to his call so the butler dubiously knocks on the door again .
“Ledoriano-sama are you in there?”
There’s no answer so the butler puts his hand on the door handle .
“Wait . ” Eleonor said in a rush . “… . . There’s someone inside I don’t know……” (Eleonor)
“…… . . A person you don’t know?”
“Yeah . Withdraw . It might be dangerous . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor puts her hand on the handle and opens the door to see 3 men inside the room .
It was Ledoriano, Laos and Heine .
They had all fallen on the floor their bodies a stained blue colour .
“Everyone!!” (Eleonor)
“Hiihii . You’re finally here . ”
An eerie sounding voice es from the corner of the room .
Turing around Eleonor see’s a small boy standing there .
“… . . Who are you?” (Eleonor)
“My name is Zabro Geeze and I serve the scarlet monument king Gilisris Dello as his adjutant . Don’t you know of him?” (Zabro) (1)
Contrary to his youthful face his gaze and mannerisms exude craftiness .
“What did you do to everyone?” (Eleonor)
“I poisoned their meal a little bit . It seems to have worked very well . ” (Zabro)
Eleonor takes a fighting stance and Zeshia pulls out the holy sword Enhalle .
“Are you a mazoku from 2000 years ago?” (Eleonor)
“That I am . ” (Zabro)
“What’s your purpose for doing this? Though it cost so much Azeshion and Deiruheido finally managed to take each other’s hand . If you are aiming to spoil that peace then I will not allow it . ” (Eleonor)
“Hihihi peace!” (Zabro)
Zabro’s face takes on an unpleasant smile .
“Things like that are not interesting . The purpose of the scarlet monument king is the research of magic and nothing else . You can see for yourself . ” (Zabro)
Where Zabro pointed in the room stood a stone monument . It was the size of two humans and had enough magic power in it to make it instantly recognisable as a magic tool .
“They said it was the legacy of Jerga but it isn’t . This is the result of my research into the magic and
