Chapter 701: The Secrets Of The World’s Past
—–
The Great Demons, mysterious figures of the past rumored to be the devils that brought the most chaos and destruction to the world with their overpowered Unique Skills, and also the ones to blame for having made Unique Skill users so feared in the past, although that was cleared up by the Ice Queen when she said that even Unique Skill users were good people and the misconception of the people over them slowly changed for the better, it seems she had some Isekai friends herself… Of course, she didn't knew about Greenwood, right? Maybe he wasn't even alive back then.
Nonetheless, the Great Demons are a big thing, so I am rather surprised about this entire truth and about everything else… But I really need to listen to more of it to truly understand the full extent of what this guy is talking to me about. Apparently, the Great Demon of Dungeons was someone good that drained the miasma and chaos from the world by employing dungeons.
"Sorry but what's an Isekai?" Asked Zero.
"…Nothing, never mind." I said.
"A-Anyways as I said earlier, my master was a good person, it is all bad rumors spread by that stupid fairy man!" Said Zero. "That man known as… Oberon or something? My master was merely summoned against his will to this world by the Great Demon of Summons. At first he felt confused but the Summoner quickly told him his mission and how to accomplish it to go back home. But there was this one annoying fairy man constantly pestering their lives while they were trying to save the world…"
"Wait, fairy man? And he's named Oberon?" Wondered Benladann.
"Yeah… I think so." Said Zero.
Benladann and I looked at one another for a while, we knew who he was and what he was in this world, he was the first ever Venerable in history, the first mortal to have ever risen to Rank 10 that became as strong as a God, and used such powers to save the world from the chaos and the miasma spread after the Ragnarök…
"So you're telling me the first venerable in history, loved by everybody as the savior of the world is that man trying to stop them from saving the world?" I wondered.
"Kind of, I barely recall the things my master told to me, but he said that the "annoying fairy" was always there pestering them and ruining their plans, because he somewhat wanted the chaos and miasma to overrun the entire world so he could… comprehend it or something? He was such a weirdo…" Sighed Zero. "The bad thing is that at some point he grew so strong he became almost invisible. But thankfully my master finished his job before the fairy man caught him and the Summoner sent him back to his world."
"EH?!"
What we heard were way too many nukes dropped over our faces at once… First of all, Oberon was somewhat obsessed with keeping the chaos and miasma in the world, contrary to how it is said that he cleansed it and rescued the world from destruction? Also he wanted to comprehend the chaos? What the heck? Is this true? I cannot really believe him 100% but this sounds pretty crazy… Well, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Second, he annoyed the demons but they ultimately reached their "goal" of saving the world, and he master of Zero, the demon of dungeons, was unsummoned back to his home, planet earth! Wait, so there is a way to go back to Earth through summon magic?! And he was sent back to Earth so easily too! Did he got his powers there as well? Is he by any chance creating dungeons on Earth now? That would be certainly super problematic… I hope he is a responsible man and never creates dungeons on Earth…
Also, this happened literally millions of years ago, from which damn earth did he came from, from the stone age? Not even then was that old, he probably came from the future earth and then was sent to the past? It is… confusing, well, whatever, time stuff is always confusing and not even I can comprehend it, not even the dates of how all of us were brought here match well together, it is all so mixed up that I just prefer to not deal with it for now.
Anyways… Now I wonder what happened to the Summoner guy.
"Yep! That's right, your beloved fairy was an insane nutjob!" Said Zero. "My master hated him and always called him an effeminate sissy."
"H-He called the first Venerable like that?!" Asked Benladann. "W-Was he so evil? Ah, I won't believe you, you're just some random spirit! And well, even then… I guess I can give you the benefit of the doubt?" Wondered Benladann.
"Think whatever you want but what I am saying is the TRUTH!" Said Zero. "Anyways! My master thankfully went back home." Said the spirit. But how did he knew?
"How do you know that? Did he told you afterwards, and how?" I asked.
"He sent me a telepathy message to me and the other spirit guardians in the other dungeons where he left his inheritance, telling us that he left the rest to us to find a new dungeon master, and that he was going to return to Japan to laze around and play videogames." Said Zero.
"I-I see… Was he a teenager?" I wondered.
"I think he was on his twenties; he was no teenager!" Said Zero.
"Oh."
"Nonetheless, after knowing that I have no idea what happened, I've been confined in this place all this time and I cannot see into the outside world either, so I don't know what happened to the nutjob fairy or the other Demons, although I would assume they were also sent back to their respective worlds." Said Zero.
"Wait! Were they all summoned?" I wondered.
"Yes! The Demon of Dungeons, my master, the Demon of Technology, the Demon of Destruction, all three of them were summoned by the Demon of Summoning!"
