"So just as I thought, they are living cells then?"
Velian was surprised to hear about this news from Lucy, but more than that he wanted to know more and more about the things, that remained a mystery to him.
"What are they trying to do? I mean, why would this kingdom review those cells? What exactly are they searching for?" Velian asked to which Lucy just looked at him with a serious look.
"As I know there are only about 100 parasites in total and we have more than 10, so with the four or five you destroyed-"
Velian knew what she was trying to say. The destruction that they caused was too hard for him to ignore, so if there are right more of them he couldn't even imagine what would happen.
"What are they fighting for? I don't understand, what are they hoping to achieve by making chaos in this land,"
Lucy looked at him for a few seconds before answering.
"Revival, I'm not sure whether I'm correct but they are going to revive both demon lord and hero,"
"A hero will only be in this world if there is a demon lord threat, it can be a newborn or someone old, as soon as the threat of the demon lord appears, the hero will be born,"
Lucy kept explaining things to Velian. He had no idea how human history deleted all this information, and he knew one thing for sure.
'These Union bastards must have been hiding the real legacy of the hero, since he is from this kingdom'
That was the only explanation Velian could come up with, to the lack of information.
"The competition, they will hold a condition where the last ten survivors of the chaos battle will fight with each other and the winner will be given whatever they want and the demon lord will be revived,"
"For the people, that are suffering this might be a good chance, as it gives them hope, but for the normal humans, it is the worse because, by the end of this competition, human land will be a graveyard that is filled with dead bodies,"
Lucy explained everything. She still didn't understand why or how these people obtained the demon lord cells, that were supposed to be in the demon continent, but she knew some demons lurking around with the humans trying to create the chaos.
Lucy's eyes gleamed with a mix of sadness and anger.
"Some demons are also lurking among them, blending in with the humans. They have conspired to bring about this chaos, to tear our worlds apart. But I believe there is a way to stop this."
Velian's scepticism melted away as he saw the earnestness in Lucy's eyes. "What do you propose, Lucy? How can we bring an end to this madness?"
A soft smile curved Lucy's lips as she stepped closer, her voice filled with a hint of vulnerability.
"Velian, I suggest an alliance. Humans and demons united against this common enemy. The demon queen herself desires peace, more than anything. She longs to see a future where demons and humans can coexist without fear and bloodshed."
Velian's grip on his hand loosened, his gaze locked with Lucy's.
"An alliance? Between humans and demons? It seems like an impossible dream, Lucy. Our kind has been at odds for centuries."
Lucy reached out, gently placing her hand on Velian's arm.
"I understand your hesitation, but hear me out. Demons are no different from humans. We have families, hopes, and dreams. All we desire is to see our children grow up in a world where they can thrive, just like you do."
Velian's eyes softened, his gaze searching Lucy's face for sincerity. "And you truly believe this alliance can bring about that future?"
Lucy nodded, her voice filled with conviction. "I do. We have seen the depths of darkness together, Velian. And in each other, we have found strength. Let us bridge the divide, not with blades, but with understanding and empathy. Together, we can confront those who threaten our realms and forge a path towards peace."
Velian's gaze shifted from Lucy to the other girls around them, their sacrifices weighing heavily upon his heart. He knew that the time for change had come, that they could no longer afford to fight alone.
"Very well, Lucy," Velian said, his voice firm with newfound resolve. "I will stand by your side, and together, we shall bring an end to this chaos. We shall show our worlds that demons and humans can find common ground and build a future worth fighting for."
As the sunlight cast its gentle light upon their united figures, Lucy and Velian made a pact that would transcend the boundaries of their kind. Their alliance, born out of hope and shared purpose, would become a beacon of light in a world consumed by darkness. And in their quest for peace, they would prove that even the most unlikely of partnerships could lead to extraordinary change.
"Lucy, I will come to meet you, until then try to do what you have been doing, as soon as I hide my girls, we will start attacking," Velia said and tried to leave, but suddenly Lucy held his hand.
"Why don't you bring them here? This will be the safest place for them," She asked to which Velian couldn't help but think her words were right.
He still wasn't foolish enough to believe everything, Lucy said without seeing any evidence to back them up, but inside him, there was a feeling that she was right.
"I will," Velian responded and left the room followed by Lucy and when they approached upstairs, they saw Ellena's brother sitting on a bench with a pale look, but compared to before he looked much better.
As soon as he noticed Velian, he quickly ran and higher him with tears streaming down from his eyes.
"Thank you, brother," He said, but Velian wasn't fond of him trying to wipe his snot on his clothes so he quickly pushed him.
"Let's go, come," Leaving those words and saying goodbye to Lucy, he left the brothel and decided to visit the girls to tell them what he found.
