Chapter 250 - Episode Forty-Seven - King of 100 Karma (Side: ???)
The “Vase of 100 Karma” — is a rugged cauldron named by the collector, a demon has been waiting for the time to break the seal.
It was 10,000 years ago, at the end of the age of mythology when the four great creator gods lived. A hundred great demons were sealed in this cauldron by Mahalvo, the god of fire.
However, it was not to protect humans from the great demons.
It was for the purpose of creating evil demons through an evil method, the ritual of poisoning.
The ritual of poisoning is a ritual in which multiple demons are sealed in the same space and made to eat each other to create a greater demon with even more power.
(Note: it’s like kodoku, putting several insects in a jar and let them kill one another until only one survived, leaving the insect with the strongest poison.)
In modern times, most of the magic and rituals using such demons and spirits have been banned, and many of the books have been burned to the ground.
Normally, the ritual of poisoning is performed by locking up five or so demons, but the ritual of poisoning directly performed by …… Mahalvo was on a scale that was truly out of proportion to that performed by humans.
The quality and number of demons he used were incomparable.
Mahalvo, the creator of the poison jar, told his followers.
“I will now enter the battle against Kudor. I will take four of the Five Great Elders with me to attack the exhausted Kudor …… but will be defeated first, I guess. From now on, Dogra, the last of the Five Great Elders, will be the lord of this land. You have done well, but that’s enough. It will only lead to more deaths. Once I am dead, Kudor will not burn any more countries or people. He can’t afford to do that. He will be busy pursuing the missing Silfheim, the god of the sky. But if Kudor should show himself here in the Maharaun Kingdom …… open this jar and let the demon go. This demon will not protect the people, but Kudor will be more concerned about killing this demon than burning the country. He will leave the Maharaun Kingdom in pursuit of the demon.”
It was said that after Mahalvo said this, he was never seen again.
In the end, there was no opportunity for the Maharaun Kingdom to open the poison jar.
As it was, 10,000 years had passed, and the collector had brought it out from its storage in the depths of the great temple dedicated to Mahalvo.
The sealed demons fought, resented each other, ate each other, and sometimes separated and ate each other again, over and over again during that long period of time.
The King of 100 Karma, born at the end of this process, looked nothing like any of the hundred great demons that had been sealed away in the first place.
The King of 100 karma has no memories or anything.
However, in the past 10,000 years, he had only been able to store up an infinite amount of resentment and a proportional amount of magic power.
Since the beginning of the battle between Abel and the Collector, the King of 100 karma had known that the time was near when his own seal would be broken.
He don’t know anything about the outside world.
However, he was able to sense the magic power of the two of them.
The king of 100 karma, who perceived this magic, thought that if there was ever a time for the one who had sealed himself away to be opened, it must be now.
In fact, if the Vase of 100 Karma were to fall into the hands of the curious Abel, it was inevitable that he would eventually give in to his desire and break the seal, even though he knew it was a bad idea.
The King of 100 Karma was simply waiting for that moment. He waited for 10,000 years, but in the face of this almost certain premonition, he could not suppress his overflowing desire to fight, his resentment, and his desire for food.
“Not yet, not yet.”
“Isn’t it that time yet?”
“When I am unleashed, I will devour not only demons and parts of my body, but everything in the world, and I will evolve forever.”
In the darkness, the king of 100 karma opened his thousand mouths and drooled.
