Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

Inside the Chaos Rift, the little succubus was startled awake by Leo's words.

In the past, because of Reji's identity as the Hero, she had never thought in the direction of the Demon King.

But now.

Seeing Reji betrayed by Freya, Eileen realized that the Demon King she had always wanted to find was right in front of her eyes…

After the Hero's authority was taken away by the Saintess, Reji no longer had any restrictions.

Humans would betray Reji.

But the demon race wouldn't.

She, Eileen, definitely wouldn't!

So what if Brother Reji lost the Hero's authority?

Now that Lordan was dead, the Demon King's position was vacant again. Wasn't this the best opportunity to initiate the Demon King Summoning once more?

Moreover, if it was the Demon King Summoning...

This oldest and most ancient inheritance from the demon race, surely, surely it could... revive Brother Reji, right?

Yes!

Definitely!

The little succubus was extremely excited at this thought, but while the idea was good, if she really wanted to make it happen, the first hurdle that stumped Eileen was.

How could she ensure that the summoned Demon King would be Reji?

Although according to the records in the inheritance, the Demon King Summoning would more or less respond to the expectations of the Succubus Race and summon the Demon King most compatible with the current situation of the demon race, and Eileen also strongly believed in her own obsession with Reji.

But what if... The summoning ritual didn't accept my plea and summoned a different Demon King?

When Reji was still by her side, Eileen didn't have such a strong feeling, but after losing Reji, the little succubus realized her true feelings. She... couldn't get close to anyone else anymore.

If she was asked to serve a new, unfamiliar Demon King and develop feelings for someone else...

Just imagining that scene made Eileen shudder all over, feeling nauseous.

No matter what, this Demon King could only be Reji!

I have to find a way to make the Demon King Summoning accurately target Brother Reji and allow the Hero to be reborn and revived as the Demon King.

Just then, Leo's voice rang out.

"Eileen, I have a Hero's relic here that might be of help."

The Wisdom Demon said as he took out a stone from behind him.

Leo told the little succubus that this was the Hero's soul stone, and inside it was a small portion of Reji's soul, sealed by his teacher Melvin himself.

"Leo, when did this happen? How come I didn't know!"

This was absolutely a surprise among surprises for Eileen.

After all, this wasn't just a relic. If there was also a small portion of the soul, then the summoning would be foolproof.

The Wisdom Demon explained that long ago, Melvin had already noticed Freya's abnormality and secretly made preparations, communicating with him as the Wisdom Demon.

So he sent the Sorcery Demon to assist that legendary human mage and together they researched the Demon King Summoning, ultimately creating this soul stone.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Melvin gave this stone to him, just in case.

After hearing Leo's words, Eileen finally understood a lot of things. No wonder Melvin had withdrawn from their Hero team long ago and rarely participated in the battles, not even showing up for the decisive battle.

It turned out he was preparing a backup plan...

Great!

With the soul stone solving the targeting problem, the only thing left was the issue of my own strength…

Currently, she was still in her childhood stage. To initiate the summoning, she had to at least wait until adulthood, and for the lifespan of the demon race, adulthood might require a long time, calculated in units of a hundred years.

Cherishing the memories with Reji, the little succubus showed determination on her face. From then on, she would take this as her goal and diligently cultivate in the Chaos Rift until the day she grew strong enough to perform the summoning. That would not only be the beginning of her revenge but also the time for the demon race to sound the horn of counterattack.

Sharing the same thoughts as Eileen was the Elf Race on the other side of the world.

Elves and demons were the same.

Both were long-lived races.

Drifting in the star-sailing tree boat outside the human world, the leaf cocoon enveloped the body of the Elf Princess. Vielsia was determined to enter deep hibernation. Inside the leaf cocoon, she would absorb the knowledge and inheritance of the Elf Race and accelerate her growth to the greatest extent possible.

The day she emerged from the cocoon, possessing strength, she would definitely return to the human world and find out the truth of that year.

Unlike Eileen, Vielsia didn't believe that Freya was a traitor.

The gentle and reliable Saintess from before had already taken root in the Elf Princess's heart. She believed there must be some hidden truth behind this, and recalling something Reji had said to her before.

-"If one day we get separated, let's meet up at the secret base."-

Thinking of this, Vielsia believed even more that Reji wouldn't die so easily. After all, they still had a promise.

In the future, she would go investigate the secret base first thing.

Remembering the name "Ilinor", the Elf Princess fell into complete slumber, waiting for her awakening a hundred years later.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

…

The human world was celebrating the victory of the human-demon war everywhere.

There were also quite a few people with ulterior motives who discovered that this was the best era of opportunity.

The post-war reconstruction was full of endless possibilities.

This was the best time to reshape the class system.

Some people from the previous commoners stood out and became new nobles. Some refugees rose to prominence through the war and became new power holders.

As their identities changed, their concepts also gradually differed.

In the past, they fought alongside the Hero to defeat those landlords and make the nobles who were bloodsucking parasites face judgment. Under the Hero's leadership, they awakened to new ideas and hated those who exploited them.

And now, having transformed into nobles, they also began to reach out to their former selves and started a new exploitation.

Power corrupts, and money makes people obsessed.

If one were to view a person's struggle as cultivation...

One would find that this was not unlike the mutation of the Evil God's magic power.

As one's own capital grew larger and larger, just like the mutation of magic power cultivation reaching its end, one's individual consciousness would become smaller and smaller until it was completely altered beyond recognition.

The wheel of history moved forward.

And in a corner where no one paid attention, Reji appeared in Melvin's mage tower, and the two of them made the final confirmation.

The Hero was dead.

Even if it was a magic-created clone faking death, as long as enough people observed it and believed it to be true, then for this world, the Hero was truly dead.

Only when the world detected that the Hero had died would it open up the new second playthrough Demon King route.

This could be seen from the abundant energy in the Philosopher's Stone in Reji's hand.

Next, Eileen just needed to use the Demon King Summoning to make him descend to the Chaos Rift, and it would completely align with history, allowing him to exploit a true bug.

The Demon King who was also the Hero from the third playthrough.

It was only at this point that Reji discovered that the Philosopher's Stone was not about changing history to influence the future. It was more like he had completely arrived in another world line, assisting him on this world line to return to the future that belonged to him.

It was like returning to a certain node in the past and completing specific conditions to unlock a "hidden ending".
