A Myth From Another Life

Elsewhere in the castle, Godbrand explored the paintings and sculptures that Mephiles created in the hallways. Some of them were when Mephiles became king of other worlds and what he looked like. Godbrand noticed that this new ruler of the earth is more than just a mighty demon king. He was once a mighty warrior and a noble knight when he conquered realms and dominated kings. His artwork became attached to the walls, and they were never to be taken down by anyone.

“King Mephiles… once a warrior, once a knight, and once the conqueror of many realms. What kind of mortal is this?” Godbrand asked. Then, Naberius walked up to him and looked at the paintings with the viking demon as everyone else was minding their own business.

“He is definitely a mortal worthy to be feared. Some say he would be the ruler of all, and others say he exists to serve whatever god he believes exists out there,” he said.
