96: The Darkness that is being unnoticed by anyone 1

It has been about a week since Milim went on her journey. Due to her absence, the always noisy restaurant had been quiet these days. The regulars felt a bit lonely without seeing the bundle of excitement like they were used to for the last few years.

The person who is most affected is Veldora. Since he has a mindset that of a child he, Velgaia, and Milim were the ones who did mischief together. So with the absence of his comrades, Veldora was a little down.

Thankfully there is Ivaragé to comfort him. Speaking of them, those two have been going on dates every so often. Rimuru speculated that it wouldn't be long before they take proposed to each other.

Rimuru for the most part did not feel any loneliness. She was used to this feeling in her past life so it did not make any impact on her daily life. Furthermore, she and Ciel were constantly monitoring Milim's day-to-day activities.

And Rimuru was a bit shocked by Milim's behavior these days. She saw her actually avoiding trouble. For example, there was an instance where she went to a bar accidently. And the barkeep scolded her for coming while she was still too young.

Normally Milim would throw a tantrum and at the very least punch the barkeep before going away. But this time she surprisingly didn't do anything like this. She awkwardly smiled and explained that she was looking for a place to eat.

' Maybe I'm still judging Milim based on her counterpart. ' Rimuru thought as she frowned. Since she was too used to Mlim being in trouble she expected the same

" Well I should make something nice for her when she comes back as an apology "Rimuru muttered as she thought up many new recipes she hadn't done for the last few centuries.

"Hmm, what was that master? " Ciel asked as she stopped what she was doing when she heard Rimuru murmuring something.

Hearing Ciel's call Rimuru broke out of her deep thoughts and explained, "Nothing just thinking about what to bake for Milim when she comes back. "

Hearing this Ciel was silent. Isn't the answer very simple? Just make everything and present it to Milim. ' No need to choose as Milim would love more sweets than one. '

Although she thought about it like this, Ciel didn't say those thoughts out loud. For one she doubted Rimuru would listen to her explanation and the other being it wasn't her business.

And with that, Ciel went back to doing her job. And that is to monitor the growth of the egg that is being kept down under the arena.

Due to the constant fights in the arena, the egg has been reviewing an abundance of magicules. Ciel predicted that it wouldn't be long before the egg hatched. And she is very interested in knowing what type of Phoenix it would be.

It's just that even now Ciel has been unable to analyze and tell what species the hatchling would become.

As Rimuru said earlier a monster born from magicules will inherit the characteristics of the magicules or even the person who released the magicules.

It is similar to how Charybdis inherited the characteristics of dragons from Veldora; it also inherited the characteristics of the sky from his magicules.

At first, both Ciel and Rimuru thought this egg would hatch a Fire phoenix due to being born from the combination of Velgrynd and Rudra. But after a few experiments done by Ciel, she found out that this egg seems to absorb every kind of magicules that is near it.

And surprisingly it seems to absorb magicules tainted with the darkness attribute more than the others. That's ironic since both Rudra and Velgrynd belong to the light group.

'How fascinating ' Ciel thought as tried her best to solve the puzzle that is around the egg,

Because of Rimuru's order the demons destroyed the most powerful and technologically advanced country of High humans was reduced to ashes. The royal family and the other families who are the core of the country were brutally murdered. Even their subordinate families who took part in the Milim kidnapping plan were also killed.

Due to this the country quickly began to crumble. Many of its citizens began to flee to other countries. They didn't dare to claim they were citizens of the High human country after witnessing their countries fall under the demons.

In fact, this was considered the third and last High human country that was destroyed under the demon's attack. So a rumor went around that High humans attract the wrath of the Demons.

After the fall of the high human kingdom, the power balance in the west changed. Several other countries rose to power to fill the gap. The elf kingdom was one such kingdom.

The current king of elves used many resources and improved the technology of his country. Some claim that due to his efforts the technology level far surpassed the level the high human country once had.

Due to this accomplishment, the elf king's fame rose and he was revered as a hero in his kingdom. The common people and ministers all greatly respected him.

But no one knew that the famed elf king was in fact an imposter. His true identity is Jahil, the person who summoned Guy Crimson to this world. Due to his foolishness of believing he could control a primordial demon he and his empire fell into ruin.

Luckily during his death, he managed to escape with his Astral body. So for decades, he roamed in the cardinal world as a soul to look for a suitable body to resurrect himself again. After years of waiting he finally found his current body.

After he took control over this body he tried once again to establish his dominance over the cardinal world. Since the Elven Kingdom was built under the ruins of his former empire everything was a matter of time.

While he also had one other thought in his mind. And that is to take revenge on Guy Crimson. To do that he needed a better weapon. A weapon that can destroy Guy Crimson. Since he knew Demons and Angels were no good he set his eyes on someone else.

And that is Veldanava. He wanted to control Veldanava so he could rule the world. But even he knew controlling Veldanava is not an easy task. At first, his first thought was to kidnap his human lover but that was easier said than done.

If he failed he would be targeted by not Rudra but possibly the whole true dragon family. So he was put in a difficult spot for the next decades. But luck would have it he finally saw the light in the dark tunnel.

And that is the daughter of Veldanava. As a direct descendant of Veldanava, it would only be a matter of time before she grows to power rivaling her parents.

But with his past experience, he decided to be more cautious with his approach. So instead of him taking action personally, he decided to use another party to do the hard job. And that other party is the last remaining High human kingdom.
