Chapter 113 - Interlude: A Certain Man

And so, the incident that occurred in the Empire came to a temporary close.

However, something else was happening that no one yet knew about.

A forest in the Empire's territory.

A forest located a little south of the royal capital.

Being a cold region, it was not a forest overflowing with greenery, but a desolate forest with many withered leaves. A single man was walking through it.

He was in his late sixties. His hair was blond, but mixed with a little white. He looked a little old, but his physique and face were such that he could still claim to be an active warrior.

His name was Vil. A man who once served as the Chancellor of the Empire.

He had a long relationship with the former Emperor Dion, and in their youth, they had raced across battlefields together, carving out their military valor together.

After retiring from the battlefield, he had settled down in the castle and devoted himself to political affairs as Dion's Chancellor.

He was searching for a place to die. Because he no longer had the will to live.

On that day, the day the former emperor died, he had been determined to fight alongside him, but at Dion's command,

'If anything should happen to me, the country will fall into chaos. You must restore order. Of course, once you feel the country has stabilized, you may resign at your own discretion, Vil.' That was what he had said.

Dion had known. He had known that Vil's loyalty was to him alone, and that he felt nothing for his two daughters. That was his final command.

And so, he wandered.

Searching for a worthy place to die.

It was then that a black mist suddenly spread throughout the area.

And before his eyes, a temple with an extraordinary presence suddenly appeared.

From here on, what will happen?

Will the Seven Demon Lords truly remain inactive?

The answer to that will come later.
