Chapter 908,
Chapter 228. At the fierce battle of Grosh, Saint (4)
Leila nodded as if there was nothing to be surprised about.
“Zito enjoys all kinds of pain. Suffering his trustworthy subordinates must also be one of Jito-sama’s pleasures.”
“So you’re saying you’re ready to take on anything, whether it’s killing enemies or falling into pain for Zito?”
“Yes. All demons, including me, exist solely for Jito-sama.”
Zito never once explained his ‘ultimate purpose’ to his subordinates.
Therefore, most of the demons, including the demon king, knew only that the purpose of this invasion was to dominate the people through pain.
It is said that through suffering, a new order will be created to replace the sun god, and everyone will enjoy a suitable fate.
However, as Kelliac learns, the world Bar Zito wants is even more terrifying than that.
“Don’t you think it’s a pitiful life?”
“You keep making rude comments. But I have no intention of killing the human who left the witch behind, so go back now.”
As Layla calls her men to pull Kelliac out, Kelliac’s eyes suddenly burst into flame. Layla mistook it for a surprise attack and pulled out her sword.
But for some reason, I couldn’t move when I faced Keliac’s burning eyes.
Just like Dylus, who had just died in the first line of defense at Groche Castle, incomprehensible scenes were popping up in her mind. Memories she had forgotten.
“Kuh… what have you done!”
My mind was extremely confused, so I couldn’t swing my sword properly. Layla was trembling, clutching her head.
“I think you should understand that I am helping you. This is the power I call Awakening Fire. Doesn’t something pop into your head?”
“What the hell is this…!”
“You know that better than I do. But I don’t think it’s that hard to guess the contents. You must be remembering a lost blood, close friend, lover… or something that was just as precious.”
Red bloody tears flowed from Leila’s eyes.
The terrible torture that made me forget the images of the people I loved being mercilessly torn apart by Zito. All of that was piercing her consciousness as vividly as if it had happened just yesterday.
Occasionally, Zito’s indoctrination reactivated, amplifying his anger toward Kelliac. However, unlike Dylus, she struggled somehow not to let go of the new memories.
After a while, the light in Kelliac’s eyes went out.
“Heh heck heck…!”
Leila let out a heavy breath and looked up.
Keliac, too, was catching his breath, sweating all over. Using the Awakening Fire is a risky affair for him as well.
Also, it was impossible to fundamentally and completely eliminate Zito’s brainwashing even if he took the risk and kept the fire of awakening alive. That was something even the witch Heluram could not do.
“…that’s just part of what you’ve seen so far. Only a part of the forgotten memory has barely been revealed. Even if I don’t have to explain, you’re probably feeling it the most. In other words, you have been brainwashed by Zito all this time.”
I can’t believe this.
Leila couldn’t possibly say that. Just as people who saw the seal of fire felt absolute trust, so did the fire of awakening.
“Even now, when Jito’s power was temporarily pushed back with the fire of awakening, it’s still the same. If I don’t continue to follow up, you will soon become Zito’s faithful dog again.”
“under.”
“On the one hand, it might be better not to confirm all the forgotten truths. Seeing you suffer so much from this alone makes me think that if you recall all of them, your mind might completely collapse.”
“Keliac Ziple… How did you find out about the existence of my erased memories that even I don’t know about?”
“The answer to that depends on the future relationship between you and me. Again, ask Leila Belgasium. Do you still think it’s right to give your allegiance to Zito?”
Silence passed for a while.
“…what do you want from me?”
“From now on, he wants to fight with me, not Zito.”
“Jito. No, are you even thinking of taking Jito down and conquering this realm of demons?”
“I am not interested in ruling the realm of demons. To me, it’s just a means to get back the Jinma Egg family. It’s just that after I get my family back, I’ll need a ruler to rule the realm of demons. Not a monster like Zito, but someone who deserves to be called the king of a world.”
Squeak…
Kelliac filled the teacup.
“I think it must be your brother, Faelito Belgasium. What do you think?”
“…Does Paellito know about this? Is he also brainwashed?”
“You are asking the obvious. Paellito is the same as you from before. He doesn’t know that he’s been brainwashed, and he doesn’t know why he’s so blindly loyal to Zito. Even though he was the one who resisted Jito the most intensely in the entire Jinma realm until he was brainwashed.”
“Keuuugh!”
Layla groaned as the sudden, terrible pain rushed through her body.
“Ah, Jito’s energy is already trying to dig into your awakened mind again. As I said before, since I saw the fire of awakening, the pain like now will come for a while without even trying. Are you in a lot of pain?”
Leyla didn’t even answer, and for a few minutes, she swayed back and forth.
“This time I asked the obvious. But if you really want to get revenge on Zito, you have to keep going through the pain. It means you need willpower. I’m afraid of that pain, so I feel comfortable when I accept the brainwashing that penetrates my mind again. Instead, the memories you retrieved will also disappear.”
“I have no intention of getting comfortable. This kind of pain… I can bear it. I will no longer fight for Zito.”
“It’s a good attitude. Will you fight me then?”
“Since you told me the truth, I will repay that debt. But that does not mean that I will give you complete allegiance. From now on, I will fight for the Belgasium family, for Paellito, for the Jin Demon World, and for myself.”
“That’s a great answer. Then, if you like me, give me your loyalty, so you won’t regret it. However, this answer alone cannot confirm your will.”
“What can I do?”
“From now on, visit Dokma Castle once every fifteen days.”
“Poisonous?”
“I am living in Dokma Castle, so whenever you come, I will light up the light of awakening. And if you don’t find me at some point, then I’ll understand that you’ve become Zito’s dog again.”
“There is no such thing. Thank you… for making me realize who my enemy is.”
Layla was quickly regaining her sanity even as she remembered the heartbreaking events.
It was because of the thought that in the future, if I didn’t calm down even for a moment, I would have no choice but to become Jito’s plaything again.
“By the way, Poison Demon Castle seems to have already captured Ragal Fern. Was that idiot just as brainwashed as I was?”
“It’s because he’s been brainwashed, but Ragal Fern is originally a very outstanding person. So from now on, be polite when dealing with Ragal. He started awakening before you and is enduring more pain than you.”
“He’s enduring more pain than me… that Ragal…?”
Of course, Ragal never did that. Kelliac had simply pacified him without the fire of awakening. Also, Kelliac doesn’t really know if Ragal was a really good person before he was brainwashed. Keliac was simply raising Ragal’s loyalty.
Layla nodded her head after recalling Ragal’s vulgar and shallow appearances for a moment. He hadn’t decided to give his allegiance to Kelliac yet, but since Kelliac recognized Ragal, he didn’t have to ignore him like before.
“i get it. don’t pay attention What a surprise… Kellyak, it looks like you’ve earned the status of immortality. To think that you were a person who lived high enough.”
“Then I’ll let you go back. If you endure the pain and find me again in 15 days, then I will tell you more details. At that time, you can really trust your will.”
“i get it. I will go to Dokma Castle in 15 days.”

The sea was the first line of defense in the Jinma World.
Whii-yi…!
Every time the sea breeze blew, the poisoned smoke left by Ragal and the ashes of the demons cast a huge shadow over the sea. Grosche Castle abandoned the first line of defense and did not send any more troops.
Because of the poisonous smoke, the coalition forces were not advancing further. Although it was possible for Jin and other superhumans to get rid of the poisonous smoke and advance, the priority was to find records about Ragal. Anyway, on the remaining three sides of the defense line, the rest of the giant forces are still fighting.
“Would you like to take a break from Valeria and try again?”
Blue spears were constantly renewing in the aura shield spread by Murakan. Valeria had already been rummaging through the records of the battlefield for six hours.
“It’s okay, Jin. There are so many records of the dead on the battlefield that it’s cumbersome to sift through, but it’s not very difficult.”
Jin carefully wiped the sweat from Valeria’s forehead. < ...Ragal Fern, the owner of Dodemon Castle , joins the battlefield at the request of Sakiel Grosche, the General Secretary of the Jinma Realm. >
After a while, those two lines were the only meaningful contents of the record about Ragal that I finally found.
However, that was enough to confirm the bond between Kelliac and Ragal.
“Whoa, all other records are descriptions of the battle situation. Still, it’s worth it, because the bond between Kelliac Ziffle and Ragal has been clearly revealed.”
Jin nodded.
“As expected by Biseps. Calliac Ziple and Ragal Fern… According to Biseps, Ragal Fern, like the others, was brainwashed by Biseps. But right now, Kelliac’s orders take precedence over protecting Grosh’s castle, which means Kelliac has the ability to undo Zito’s brainwashing, or at least weaken it.”
[Could Little Kelliac and Zito be one?]
“To think so, even if only Ragal had fought properly, their first line of defense wouldn’t have been annihilated this far. If Kelliac was loyal to Jito and the Jinma Realm, Ragal would have fought with all his might.”
After pondering for a while, Jin went on to say something behind his back.
“It seems that there is a crack forming inside the Jinma Realm. Because of the Kellyac Zip.”
