Extra Story 5: Before the Demon Lord

– 70 years

In the depths of the earth, where no light could reach . It was a place where no ordinary man could thread, lest he wanted to throw his life away . In such a place reminiscent of the demon world, a bright, flame-like light appeared .
The light of that flame was strong and it pulsated just like a heart with a beautiful, amber glow . It is the shine of the soul . It drifted in midair, absorbing the magical power from its surroundings .

Then it started to expand and extend into a humanoid form, starting from that of a fetus .

Eventually the pulsating light darkened, and then changed its shape into a girl of stunningly beautiful proportions with bat-like wings and goat-like horns on her head .

「Where am I…? Who am I…?」

The demoness looked around, feeling confused .

She understood that she was a succubus, a demon, one of the bad guys . But other than that, her other memories seemed to be missing . But that was to be expected . After all, she was born just now .

This newborn demoness will later be called Lilu .

– 60 years

「… In other words, no matter how much magic we’ll use, it will never be truly gone from this world . This is called the Law of Conservation of Magical Power . The used up magic will eventually dissipate and be absorbed into the earth, rain, et cetera . That way it continues to circulate together with the dragon pulse of the earth, and gets transferred to the plants eaten by animals . And when those animals will die, the magic power stored within them will repeat the whole process once again, thus circulating around the world in an endless cycle . 」

Ain explained while writing all over the blackboard . And when he finished, the loud ringing of the bell signaled the end of the class . Just as he expected, he once again managed to fully utilize the time of the lecture to the last second .

「That’s it for today’s lecture, if you have any questions, come to my laboratory . 」

He announced and left the auditorium, fluttering his robe about .

「Professor Ain!」

A female student followed after him .

「Well, the thing is, there are some things that I did not understood from the lecture…」

When Ain stared at her coldly, she blushed and her voice became shaky .

「Very well then, come with me to my room . 」

「Understood!」

「Nnnn, aaaaa, aaaaaaahhhhhh!」

With his last powerful thrust, Ain released himself into the girl’s womb . Exhausted, she fell onto Ain’s chest and puffed out her cheeks happily .

「To think that I’ll be able to be together with professor Ain like that… hehe, I’m so happy . 」

She gave Ain a kiss on the cheek and whispered into his ear .

「I love you, professor . I wouldn’t mind dying if I could spend the rest of my life with you . 」

Hearing that, Ain raised an eyebrow .

「Is that so? Then…」

He took the knife from the shelf beside the bed, unsheathed it and handed it to the girl .

「If you have no regrets, then let’s die . 」

「This is a joke, isn’t it?」

The student asked with a worried smile on her face . Ain smiled back and nodded .

「Of course I am joking . 」

Relieved, she caressed his chest .

「But I truly want you… to kill me . 」

「Are you serious?!」

When she asked again, Ain shook his head to the sides .

「No, I’m not kidding . If you really love me, then kill me . If you can’t do it, I’ll kill you . 」

「P-please excuse me!」

The girl threw the knife away, hurriedly put her clothes on and stormed out of his room while shedding tears .

「What the hell am I doing?」

Why did he got his hopes up? Did he really thought she’s going to do it?

A young sorcerer who’s later going to become the Demon Lord, sighted and sat on the bed .

– 50 years

「Did it…」

The kid’s voice still sounded very young . Furos looked at the wooden sword lying on the ground, then at his son who managed to throw that sword off his hands, and then at the sword again .

「I did it! I did it!」

Of course, he was still a very young kid, but he was doing fine . Unfortunately, fine was not enough when one lived along mercenaries and hoped to make a name for himself someday . But he still had so much room for growth that everyone was astounded at the speed of his progress .

「Our kid is such a genius! Surely he’ll become a great warrior capable of felling giants, dragons, and one day leading the country!

He laughed heartily like an idiot, and all the surrounding mercenaries followed suit .

「It’s good that you can laugh in such a situation, but you must not become complacent . Become strong, stronger than anyone else, Wolfedear!」

「Yeah!」

The red haired boy smiled innocently and nodded .

– 35 years

「A gargoyle?」

「Yeah, it’s a worthy purchase, wouldn’t you agree?」

The village chief looked at the peddler with suspicious eyes . It was a statue of a demon that was brought to the village by carriage by one of the peddler’s men .

「It certainly is impressive . 」

The chief’s son opened his eyes widely . The statue was so detailed as if it was alive!

「I’m sure it will protect you against all manner of beasts such as goblins and wolves, and maybe even a plague!」

Apart from the smiling merchant, the chief’s son was completely absorbed by the statue . He wanted to fight such a terrifying creature with a magical sword . His head was filled with such obsessive ideas .

「But, our village does not fare so well when it comes to money…」

「I’m aware of that, and I do not mind it . You see, I have so many other goods, and this statue is made of solid rock, which makes it hard for my horses to carry it . That is why I would gladly dispose of it if I could . 」

「Ohhh, I see . 」

When the adults and the chief continued the negotiations, Georg, the chief’s son touched the statue, completely enchanted by it . For a moment he could have even sworn that the gargoyle flapped its fantasy wings! In three months, he’s going to leave the village to become an adventurer . And in twenty years, he will return to the village to become its next chief .

– 32 years

「Here I come, Toskan!」

「Ah, why must you always be so reckless, Wolfedear!?」

Toskan fixed his hat and prepared to unleash his magic at the monster in front of them .

「Eat this!」

Wolfe jumped into the air, targeting the arm of the giant who held a beautiful girl in it, while Toskan impaled his feet to the ground with his 「Ice Needles」 . Wolfe used them as a foothold and jumped again, severing the monster’s arm . The impact was so strong that his blade was shattered into tiny pieces .

「Aw man, I did it again! And here I thought I got a little better at holding my strength back!」

「Where in the hell did that come from?!」

Toskan cried out as he caught the girl in midair .

「Alright, my bad, my ba… . Whoa!」

The giant attacked Wolfe with his other hand without any warning . Wolfe tackled his attack head on .

「Hehe, good… I don’t dislike this kind of thing!」

Wolfe punched the giant who’s several times his size back, and began a fist fight with him .

「Wh?!」

The girl’s eyes opened widely as she witnessed this unusual spectacle .

「Aren’t you going to help him?!」

「And be dragged into his shenanigans? No thank you . 」

「Uuuuuuuuoooooooooooh!!!!」

Wolfe gets covered in blood, but continues to trade blows with the giant . It lasted for several minutes, but in the end Wolfe was the one who emerged victorious .

「Are you mad or what?!」

Those were the first words the beauty threw his way when he finally finished his opponent off . She then tore off the piece of her dress to wipe the blood off Wolfe with it and treat his wounds .

「You sure you finished it off properly at least?」

「I would hardly call that a win! When the hero charges in to save the princess, shouldn’t he go about it more smartly in order to impress her?」

「That’s why I keep telling him, but the idiot never listens . 」

Toskan told that to the lady, Yudora . This was the day when the three of them had their fated meeting . And two years from that day, she and Wolfe, the hero who dashed forward like a wind without looking back, would become bonded in holy matrimony .

– 16 years

「Yudiiiiiiii!」

「You don’t have to be so loud, I can hear you just fine, geez!」

Wolfe squeezed his wife’s hands and stared at her pale face .

「Our child… is our child safe?!」

「Yes . She’s the spitting image of Zait: a red haired, green eyed healthy baby girl . 」

「…I see . 」

Yudora smiled gently .

「Once you get better, let’s go on an adventure again . Me, you, Toskan… we can even take Zait with us, he’s more than capable enough to protect himself . And once our daughter grows up, we can all go together!」

「Sounds like so much fun . If only it was possible for me…」

「It will be, you’ll see . You just have to get plenty of rest . 」

Wolfe strengthened the grasp on Yudora’s hand, and stared directly into her eyes . She smiled back at him, mustering all of her strength to do so .

「Have you thought about a name for her?」

「Name…?」

Wolfe could feel that the light of life in her was slowly fading away .

「Yunisfinia… that is… our daughter’s name… Thanks to you, my life was filled with happiness, but there was little freedom in it . That’s why… please… give our little girl… freedom…」

「I will . 」

Witnessing his wife’s last wish, Wolfe clenched his hand into a fist .

– 6 years

「She poured boiling oil over herself…」

「She’s insane . 」

「Cursed child . 」

Carrying a bucket filled with water, Sophia tried to ignore the venomous whispers around her . She opened the door to their house and approached her mother .

「Mother, I’ve brought water . 」

「I don’t… want anything… touched by you… I refuse…」

「But you’ll die if you don’t drink anything!」

Because Sophia brought and boiled the water, her mother did not want to drink it . That’s why she had to force her to do so .

「Disgusting… spawn of the devil… why did God punished me with a daughter like you…」

Sophia stood silently beside her mother’s bed and listened to her sobbing without saying a single word .

Spawn of the devil, devil’s child… everyone kept saying that she must be a demon’s bastard and the source of all the evil in the world . She heard it so often that even Sofia herself began to believe in it . She really must be the spawn of the devil . And if that’s the case, she wished for the devil to come and take her away .

Losing herself in such dark thoughts, she took another cup and handed it to her mother .

– 2 years

「Father, you big, big dummy!」

Wolfe sighted as his daughter stormed out of the room, screaming .

「Are you sure about that?」

「Yeah, just let her do whatever she wants . 」

From the corridor, the sound of the wall being destroyed could be clearly heard .

「Are you sure about that?」

「Just go fix the blasted wall . 」

Facepalming, Wolfe gave an order to the Prime Minister Toskan .

– 1 year

「Sofi, Sofiiii!」

「Don’t go any closer to me, Mari . 」

「Here, a dumpling, eat it . 」

She looked at the muddy dumpling with cold eyes .

「This is mud, I cannot eat it . 」

Mari looked troubled for a second, and then she applied some sand to her culinary creation .

「I told you, I cannot eat it . Even if you apply sand to it, mud is still mud . 」

Mari appeared to be genuinely shocked, and even though her expression was genuinely cute, it still ticked Sofia off . Because even though she lost her parents at such an early age, she was still loved by the people of her village .

「No matter how you try to disguise it, mud is still mud . Black, white, transparent, it really does not matter . 」

She hated her so much . She was jealous of her . Jealous of the fact that she is loved and beautiful . She hated her so much that she wanted to spill boiling oil on her . But even so she will not change . Because she is not like mud .

「Hey, don’t come any closer . 」

「But Sofii, I love you so much!」

「And I still hate you . 」

Sofia turned around and began to walk away . Mari could not keep up with her due to the difference in their height and walking speed, but nevertheless she tried to catch up to her at all cost .

Because she loved Sofia just as much as Sofia claimed to hate her .

「What is this?」

Lilu burst into laughter when she saw a strong light pouring out of the sky . It was a light that indicated that a
human magician was trying to summon a demon . The succubi knew that light like the back of their own hands . This time, however, the light was too strong to have been used to summon just your any ordinary demon . There was obviously something suspicious about it .

If no one decides to answer its call, it will remain in the sky forever . Lilu felt that something was drawing her near that light . It was not a memory of something, but rather a peculiar nostalgic feeling .

「Well, I guess making fun of humans is not all that bad once in a while . 」

With her hand, she reached towards the light . And with the feeling of being filled with energy, she materialized in the realm of humans .

「Are you the one who summoned me?」

She asked the man standing in front of her .

At this moment, their story began to move .
