Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 707: Telling what we feel

The Ancient One who governs over Death was a little curious about that feeling he just had upon the arrival of the new batch of human souls, since it wasn't just human souls that arrived but even the souls of Dragons had come. It had been a few millennia since the soul of a Dragon came to his kingdom.

'Hmm, it is quite interesting I might as well check it out later.'

...

While The Ancient One who governs over Death was relaxing, Erste's group had safely arrived in his kingdom.

"What I did should be able to fool Death for a while, but he should get curious because there were Dragon souls that have entered his domain. So we need to hurry in our preparations before he gets here," Skatt warned the others.

"Half of us need to fight against Death, and the other half would steal back the Heart of the Mother of all Dragons." Schlau reminded the others about what they were going to do.

"Yeah, we know, Erste, Frieda, Blod, and Tenma will distract Death, while everyone else will try to locate and steal back the heart of the Mother of All Dragons," Sayaka spoke confirming that she understood the plan.

"You guys just need to distract him long enough for us to find the heart, and once we locate and steal it, I will inform you via telepathy." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Alright then, if you guys have anything else to say you better say it now or you might not get the chance to say it later." Tenma who had been quiet finally spoke and what he said felt rather ominous to the humans but not to the Dragons.

"Even though what my brother said sounds very rude and ominous, what he is saying rings true. Even us Dragons might die in this mission despite our mother telling us to flee if we are in danger." Seeing the expressions on the faces of the humans Skatt quickly defended his brother Tenma.

"Hmph, death comes to all is that it? Well, since we are facing the actual Death then I guess even Dragons may fall." Kamael who was frowning lightened up a bit as he spoke.

"Since this may be the last time we get to speak to each other allow me to say a few words." Gratz took a step forward and the others all looked at him.

"I have fought this battle for several centuries, I have fought filled with thoughts of honor and dedication, I have fought many Gods and I have seen many humans fall. The faces of those young men and women have been on my mind for centuries, I remember all their names and how they died. I have told many that they had died honorable and worthy deaths, but..."

Gratz paused for a while and looked at each of his companions he then closed his eyes and sighed before continuing to speak.

"Even though I always convinced others and even myself that their deaths were honorable and they were worthy, deep down I always felt like those were just lies I kept on telling myself to numb the pain of their loss... I am a survivor, I have outlived all of my friends and loved ones who were in my era, and I have seen the sacrifices the young ones have made.

I thought this battle would go on until we all die an honorable death for the sake of humanity, but now I have actually seen a chance of us winning and ending this battle against the Gods."

Gratz's voice became louder and louder as he continued to speak and he raised his hand and clenched his fist.

"I don't know what the future may hold, the only thing I know is I will always do things with elegance and honor. I have luckily survived up to this day, and if today is the day I fall then so be it, at least I learned that there can be a better future for humanity.

Lastly, I just want to tell you all that it has been a great pleasure working with you all." Gratz placed his hand on his chest and did a gentleman's bow. The other generals became quiet as they watched the oldest human bow his head.

"Alright, are there others who wish to say their piece before we start the operation?"

"I have something to say," Sayaka spoke out loud. "I know that we're going to succeed like we always do, but just in case something does happen to me, I have a single request. To whomever survives please take care of my little brother for me."

"I promise if I'm the one to survive then I will take care of him." With Gratz being the first to speak up the others followed. After Sayaka was done telling what she wanted to say this time Jonathan spoke out.

"I... I don't have much to say, I don't have as high aspirations as Gratz, and I don't have any relatives left to worry about. All the family I have are you guys, and if this is truly the final ride then I want to tell you all how grateful I am that I have met you all, and as Gratz said, what an honor it has been fighting alongside you guys."

Once Jonathan was done speaking the other humans present had a dumbfounded look on their faces. They couldn't believe that the man who kept on talking about muscles was the one speaking now.

"Well, that was surprising, still, since everyone is telling me what they want I guess I should do the same." Kamael shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. "As you may all know I have great respect for Sir Gratz's way of life, and I have tried my best to conduct myself with elegance and do things with honor and without fear. Still, truth be told I'm actually always f*cking afraid.

I always hide my fear through my hard mouth and touch act, but since this might be the end, I'm just going to throw out the elegance for now and speak the truth... I... I just wanted everyone to know that even now I'm very near to sh*tting my pants, and every now and then I keep on screaming in my mind that I want to run away, but... Even if...

Even if I'm afraid I cannot even dream of leaving you guys."

...

After Kamael's confession, Frieda, Schlau, and even Erste said a few words, but unlike the ones before them, they only said that they were lucky to have met each other.
