Well, after that day, one morning, Sura woke me up. She threw a backpack towards me and said in a rather harsh voice, "It's time to move."
"..."
"Why are you sitting? Get up already."
"Alright, alright."
I got up from the cold ground where I had passed out from exhaustion. Moving my tired legs wasn't easy, but I had no choice but to follow. We came out of the dark pit, and Sura created another teleportation ring, but this time to an unfamiliar place. I hesitated a bit and turned my head towards her.
"Where does this go?"
"To a small town on the outskirts of the Carnelian Empire."
"What? Why don't we go straight to the castle?"
"..."
"Hey? Why aren't you answering?"
Sura kept avoiding my questions one after another. I exhaled forcefully and stared at the ring again.
"Alright, whatever. Let's go."
I entered the ring, which felt like a void. For a brief moment, my feet were suspended in the air, and then I felt them land on relatively flat ground.
"Right, a village with a terrifying appearance."
It couldn't get worse, but dealing with it wasn't that hard. But why do I feel like I'm the only one who can see Sura?
The woman turned her eyes towards me and gave a cunning smirk.
"I've hidden myself from the angels' eyes. You're the only one who can see me."
"Huh... so you really had such power."
"How could I not have this power? I am the Great Demon."
Sura shrugged her shoulders and walked behind me.
"I'm really going crazy."
With relatively long strides, I moved through the narrow alleys of the town. The sky was twilight, but the heavenly sky made it look like night. We passed by a temple that looked old, but a large crowd was rushing inside.
*Temple, a place of worship for God.*
The angels, feeling abandoned by God, come to the temple at specific times, like very early in the morning, hoping that God will notice them again.
"Did you hear? The crown prince is passing through here to investigate the situation of the demons entering the region of Aram."
"Oh my God... I really want to see the child who has been famous for the empire's glory for a long time."
The voices of the people near the temple were easily heard, indicating that the time for the crown prince's assassination had arrived. I remember in the past, the crown prince of the empire was assassinated by infiltrators among the angels.
"Maybe by saving that brat, it will be easier to get the sword?"
This assassination would cause the crown prince to lose his healing power for a year. Those chosen to assassinate him knew that blinding the royal family's eyes would cause them to lose half of their power.
I turned into a villain who mercilessly killed anyone commanded, becoming a tool for evil. Despite my death, the havoc continued, and I became a wandering spirit. Now, with a chance for redemption, I decided to change my ways. But can those who hated me become my family, and can someone hurt by me fall in love with me?
