Bab 292: Demon King [4]

Elitra proceeded to tell a story that Demon King Lucius had been reminiscing about only a few days prior.

10,000 years trapped within a secret realm as a tool for the machinations of a higher existence. 

The series of unfortunate events that seemed to follow the Demon race as they lived, the vengeance that the Demon King Lucius had been hiding within his heart, and the way the other Demon Kings had indulged themselves in the pleasures provided by the absolute protection of said higher existence. 

The more Damien listened, the sterner his expression became. As Elitra had said, the second reason was much more serious than the first.

It was yet another product of the first Great War that the Nox had raged against the universe. 

Originally; Damien had thought Apeiron was the first world they had invaded, and that the Nox had been successfully fended off at the sacrifice of Apeiron's most powerful experts. But it seemed he was mistaken.
