News of the Beigalta Kingdom's defeat quickly spread throughout the Oriana Kingdom.
Most nobles couldn't believe it.
One person defeating an entire nation's elite Magic Swordsmen—such a thing was somewhat inconceivable.
If Oriana had sent out its own elite Magic Swordsmen, people might have believed it.
But according to intelligence, the Oriana Kingdom only deployed Princess Rose, a single Magic Swordsman, from beginning to end.
Without the help of anyone else.
Not only that, it was said that the Holy Church had also provided assistance to the Beigalta Kingdom, and none of those from the Holy Church survived.
All of them died on the battlefield.
Many were unwilling to believe this fact, and each personally investigated.
It wasn't until they saw the bodies of those from the Holy Church that they finally accepted the truth.
But the news was quickly suppressed.
Those in the know received warnings, prohibiting them from spreading it.
The Order dared not let this news spread unchecked, fearing that when the time came to subjugate the Oriana Kingdom, many kingdoms would be unwilling to contribute.
This was a struggle between The Order and Shadow Garden.
The Order had already planned to gather its forces to completely repel Shadow Garden.
Currently, it had no spare power to deal with other countries. It could only suppress the news, keeping these people ignorant of the matter, and continue to plan the attack on the Oriana Kingdom.
Within The Order, a large number of Children of Diabolos were summoned.
They infiltrated the Magic Swordsman armies of various countries.
Disguising themselves, they went to participate in the joint operation to subjugate the Oriana Kingdom... In the center of the continent, there was a Holy City, located on the borderlines of four countries but belonging to none.
This was a city exclusive to the Holy Church.
Deep beneath the Holy City.
There was a giant head of Diabolos the Demon.
The head was quietly placed in the center of an altar.
A man came before the head.
"Aurora, I can give you anything you desire, why are you so determined to seek death?!"
The head of Diabolos the Demon opened its eyes.
From beginning to end, this head was alive.
Although the Three Heroes defeated Diabolos the Demon, they could not completely eliminate Diabolos the Demon.
They could only cut diabolos's body apart and build sanctuaries to seal Diabolos the Demon's body in various parts of the world.
The Diabolos Cult then built its headquarters at the place where Diabolos the Demon's head was sealed.
Aurora was bent on dying, but no matter what, she couldn't die.
The man in front of her had long since unsealed diabolos's head, but Aurora had sealed herself, actively severing contact with the other parts of her body, unwilling to leave this place.
Aurora's power was not completely controllable.
And after so many years, each of Aurora's bodies should have developed its own consciousness.
The current Aurora also didn't believe she could control them.
If she were to lose control again, it would only lead to widespread suffering, and she didn't want to see that happen.
"By the way, I have good news for you!"
"The sanctuary sealing your right arm has been destroyed, and the body within has been completely annihilated."
Hearing this, Diabolos the Demon's head reacted.
"Really?"
"After so many years, you finally speak."
The man said excitedly.
The man was the First Seat of the Round Table Knight, the original Knight of the Round Table, whose name the world had never heard.
Even within the Round Table Knight, his name was unknown.
Other Round Table Knight referred to him as the Chief.
He didn't even have a codename; he only wanted to disappear from people's sight.
What this man wanted from beginning to end was eternal life; he had no other thoughts.
Although he had lived for thousands of years, he still felt it wasn't enough.
He wanted to completely control Aurora.
To obtain all of Aurora's power, to obtain all of Diabolos the Demon's abilities.
Aurora possessed terrifying magical power and extremely strong magical control.
And Diabolos the Demon possessed an undying and indestructible regenerative ability.
He was the one who initially made Aurora fuse with the blood of a demon world monster.
Ultimately, his idea succeeded, giving birth to an invincible creature in this world, and at that time, the Holy Church was almost destroyed by Diabolos the Demon.
Fortunately, the Three Heroes existed.
At that time, the Three Heroes and other heroes who fought against Diabolos the Demon defeated Diabolos the Demon, The Order was also on the verge of destruction, and the heroes returned to their hometowns to establish their own countries, controlling the world.
He, led by the Holy Church, survived with the remaining personnel and successfully developed diabolos's essence, something that could grant eternal life.
With the help of diabolos's essence, the Holy Church gradually grew stronger.
After all the heroes died, he rewrote history. With absolute power, he rewrote the history of the entire world.
Hiding all truth in darkness.
"It's true; this ancient artifact can detect lies. It will ring once if someone lies."
Aurora looked at the bell.
"I am not Aurora!"
The bell rang.
"I want to die!"
The bell did not ring this time.
Aurora believed in this ancient artifact.
"That news earlier should have been good news for you, but now there's bad news for you."
"The place sealing your left arm, its seal has been broken! Aside from the seal on your head, we can't break the seals on other parts at all. What exactly happened there, I don't know. But one thing is certain: there is another, more powerful force, and their goal is to prevent your resurrection."
"The Order has already lost control of that place."
At this moment, the bell rang.
"I almost forgot about this ancient artifact. The truth is, The Order hasn't lost control of that place; the newly appointed Round Table Knight of The Order are now controlling it."
"By the way, there's a Mitsugoshi Company recently; they've invented many beautiful clothes. I think you'd look lovely wearing them too."
The man took out some beautiful clothes, describing them.
Aurora did not respond.
And the man continued to chatter about what he had seen and heard.
For thousands of years, the man came here every day to talk to Aurora.
As long as Aurora agreed, the seal could be broken at any time.
From beginning to end, she was actively sealed.
Although her power was very strong, it didn't belong to her; that power belonged to Diabolos the Demon, not to her as Aurora.
Aurora had long made up her mind; she would stay here forever.
The man in front of her, seeing that force wouldn't work, always tried to persuade Aurora with emotion.
Aurora was very aware of the face beneath this man's mask.
He could do anything for his goals.
Including thousands of years of false companionship.
"If only a hero from a fairy tale could come and kill me!" Aurora thought to herself.
