Never Die Extra (Edited)

Chapter 437



“These guys, they don’t even allow me some time to ask questions!”

“Didn’t I tell you that a priest pretending to be a demon would be too much for an act, Leo?!”

―Kill it! Kill the humans! Kill!

“Haaa, say something creative if you are to speak! Phoenix Fall!”

Evan clearly recalled seeing the man who was swinging a great sword in the middle of the battlefield. And also, the woman who was enchanting spells next to him while holding a staff. Although both of them looked rather younger than he remembered them, Evan was certain that they were real. So, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Grandpa Leo!”

“Huh? Ha!”

Evan walked straight into the area and approached them. The monsters who stood between Evan couldn’t withstand the pressure from his speed, and their flesh and bones were torn apart. The handsome man with a lion mane-like hairstyle looked like he was shouting at Evan, but Evan was quick to hug him.

“Grandpa!”

His teacher, whom he hasn’t met for more than six years, didn’t fail to catch his disciple, although he was caught off guard.

“Ahem, you. You’re all grown up, yet you still act like a child.”

“Oh, oh my!”

Aria was clapping in happiness next to them.

“He has grown up all big during the time we’ve been gone. We did our best to return fast, but I didn’t know things turned out this way. Ev…”

“Ah, both of you, wait.”

As Aria was about to say the word Evan, he stopped her from doing so. Evan came out first right after spotting Leo and Aria, so Mirole and Maybell were standing still a ways behind him, which was a relief for him.

“Both of you, please don’t call my name. I’m in a slightly awkward position.”

“Is it related to you entering the Demon Realm?”

“Aside from that…the problem is that I traveled into the past.”

“…Past?”

Leo’s eyes widened.

“Past, what are you talking about?”

“Is that so?”

These two seemed not to realize the environment of the Demon Realm where they were currently at. Evan thought of explaining it to them in detail and turned around first. The demons and the demonic beasts were gathering around to congratulate the teacher and his student.

“Let’s talk after getting rid of these.”

“Good, let’s see how strong my disciple became.”

“You will be surprised.”

Evan reached out both of his arms to unleash his Annihilation. Like how a dandelion was scattered by the wind, his Annihilation embraced all the monsters into his arms. At this point, all the enemies were forced to stop moving. Everything within several ten thousand square meters froze.

“Huh…?”

Leo was expecting a wonderful martial art displayed by Evan, and he was at a loss for words at the sight he was looking at instead. It looked as if time had stopped; even the pebbles in the air were stuck.

“Is this some kind of…magic…?”

“It isn’t, Leo. It’s the power this…this child used to cast.”

“You can call me Zero for the meantime, Ms. Aria.”

“Zero…?”

For some reason, Aria made a strange expression upon hearing the word, Zero. Did she know something about the name, too? Meanwhile, Leo asked a question to Evan as if he was having a hard time accepting reality.

“Is this from the power of your martial art?”

“At first, yes, it was. It’s different now…but yeah, it’s a physical force if you want to know about the details.”

“It can be mistaken as the power of a god.”

“I agree with her.”

Evan clapped while leaving aside the mumbling couple. At that moment, all the demons and the demonic beasts were crushed by a horrible pressure in the area. The ground was soaked with blood. Some of them tried to put up a fight, but it was no use. The scenery was so unreal that it was regarded as something beautiful.

“Here, clean up complete.”

As Evan simply shook off his hand, the blood crystals that were strengthened through absorbing all the blood were sucked up by his hand. That was the end of the battle. It was rare that a battle of such scale ended so simply like this, especially in the Demon Realm, where endless battles occurred.

“…Leo, can you also do something like that?”

“If I could do that, why would I be carrying this heavy greatsword?”

“Then, learn it.”

“Aria, sometimes you ask too much from me.”

Leo pretended to be weak, but Evan knew that the two became stronger than when he parted with them. It was more than six years, but finding them in the past would make the time Evan spent become different, yet they would have been encountering fierce battles in the Demon Realm as they spent much time in it. They couldn’t enter the dungeon, so their dungeon levels were stagnant, but their existence levels must have increased greatly. Leo used a high-tier unique skill derived from his swordsmanship in the earlier battle with the demons that weren’t seen in Yo-Ma Great War 2.

“Zero!”

It was that moment when Mirole and Maybell arrived. Mirole hugged Evan before he could even react. Mirole would never distance herself more than this!

“I was so worried that you just disappeared right in front of my eyes…”

“Sorry. I recognized these people from my memories, so I rushed in. Perhaps it will help me in regaining my memories…”

“Huh?”

“Shhhhh.”

Leo tilted his head as he heard Evan’s nonsense, and Aria poked his side to silence him.

“Is, is that so? The memories…”

Mirole was looking at Leo and Aria after hearing Evan’s words, and she looked uncomfortable. She didn’t see through Evan’s lies, but rather, she was afraid that Evan’s past acquaintances might take him away from her. And Aria saw through her hidden thoughts.

“I’ll be in your care. I’m Aria. This is Leo.”

“Whoa.”

“If you are an acquaintance of Zero…I hope we get along well. I’m a forest fairy, Mirole.”

Mirole bowed down according to the courtesy of the forest fairies, although she hesitated at their greetings. Leo was amazed at such a graceful posture, and Aria poked him once more before asking her a question.

“Ahem, a forest fairy. So, what kind of relationship are you in with our Zero?”

“Huh?!”

Her surprise was more than enough of a reply. Aria sighed deeply and spoke.

“Whew, I guess your disciple learned the most important aspect from his teacher.”

“Are you talking about the overflowing courage and the never-giving-up spirit?”

“No. The ability to be famous among girls wherever you go.”

“Ahahahahahha! I didn’t do anything wrong yet. Why?!”

“I get pissed off when I think about it!”

Evan looked at them having a lovely conversation (it seemed so to him), and he felt comfortable. An ancient Demon Realm where anything is bound to happen. Even with great power, anyone could feel uneasy. Yet, in such an environment, they were who they always were in such an environment. As expected from those who cleared Yo-Ma Great War 2, which mentally exhausted people among all the other series.

“Huh? Why are you laughing like that?”

Leo, who barely managed to escape from Aria, tilted his head as he looked at Evan. Evan realized that he was smiling after touching his cheeks. Maybe it was his first time to feel so relaxed ever since he came to the ancient times. Evan laughed, thinking he was still a child after all despite getting stronger, and he replied to Leo.

“I feel so happy after meeting with you guys.”

“Haha, kid.”

Leo laughed loudly while patting Evan’s shoulder, who was now as tall as him. And after spotting Maybell, who came along with Mirole, he let out another ‘huh’, which was several times already.

“Isn’t she the child who followed you a lot? Why did she become a demon?”

“Maybell was originally a demon, Grandpa.”

“Huh…?!”

“…What?”

“It’s been a while. Mr. Leo, Ms. Aria. I’m Maybellika, the personal maid and succubus queen who only loves Master.”

“Succubus Queen!”

“Well, that explains how you’ve become more beaut…wait, Aria. No. I didn’t think of anything.”

The two heroes who saved mankind were in doubt for a long while after realizing that there was a demon in the house of their disciple.

“Maybell is on our side anyway, so there’s no need to be shocked like that. And she isn’t my personal maid.”

“I don’t have any energy left because of so many surprises…”

There was a highlight that Evan was the Great Ancient Mage, but he decided not to talk about it for their mental health. But surprisingly, Aria dropped the next bomb.

“Then we should introduce our son, as well.”

“…Huh?”

Aria held out her staff and drew a line in the air as if she was unzipping something, which then opened a space and showed a baby who was soundly asleep.

“I put him into another dimension barrier to keep him safe as the battle started.”

“…!?”

It was shocking that she could cast a spell to open a dimension barrier, but another surprise was waiting for them!

“Son! Grandpa’s son!”

“Yeah, my son. Aria had a hard time during her pregnancy. The Demon Realm doesn’t have anything, yet she suddenly wanted to eat sashimi.”

“Be quiet.”

Leo took this chance to complain, and Aria carefully lifted her child from the barrier after yelling at him. The child looked like he was about three or four years old.

“His name is Lian, and he is four years old. Do you want to carry him?”

“Yes.”

Evan carefully received the child. When a child became four years old, it became difficult for adults to easily lift them, but that wasn’t the case for Evan.

“Cute…”

“Pretty…”

“Child…”

The three who were childish in terms of mentality gave an exclamation of surprise as they blankly stared at the little boy. It was ridiculous. Evan’s members were experiencing the wonder of life in a place closest to despair and death. The boy had the golden hair of Leo, but his soft curls resembled more of Aria.

“His eyes resemble mine. Although he is asleep, his sparkling ruby eyes are really pretty.”

“But he resembles me the most in overall appearance.”

“He resembles me.”

“No, me.”

As the couple started to argue, Maybell spoke to Evan, who stroked the boy’s golden hair.

“He is really pretty.”

“Yeah.”

“I feel so comforted just by looking at him.”

“Yeah.”

“We should hurry and make one.”

“No.”

“Tsk.”

And that is how the teacher and the student had an unexpected encounter in the place which nobody expected. There were so many things to figure out, but they decided to have a meal first.

The menu was sashimi, which Evan previously acquired and stored in huge amounts.
