"It's your fault," whispered the man who stabbed Douglas.

When Rose heard the man's unintelligible words, he rubbed his ears in confusion and tried to rush to Douglas: "Dad!"

Before she could, however, Lila rushed to Douglas's side, pushed aside the man with the spear, and knelt down to help Douglas' body.

At the same time, the baby in her arms began to cry.

"What are you doing!" Lila stared at these men with hateful eyes, and then turned her eyes to Rose.

"do not come!"

Rose stopped again. She was oppressed by that gaze and couldn't move.

"This is all because of you!"

Rose took a step back, and Douglas took Lila's hand in his own breath.

"Lila, Rose. Don't resent anyone, no one is at fault." He said, turning his eyes to Rose: "Rose, run away."

"B-but..."

"Run away!"

Rose turned around loudly and ran out.

"Wait!" The men wanted to catch up, but were blocked by a sudden gust of wind and all fell down.

"She is my daughter. Don't hold out your hands!"

Everyone was frightened by his eyes.

However, Douglas turned his attention to Lila: "Lila, I'm sorry. This is how we say goodbye."

"What are you talking about, Dad! You can't die!"

Douglas gently touched Lila's tears. Then, he turned his attention to Rose who disappeared into Helene.

"Ross..." The last sentence was "Live." Just after he finished speaking, the light in his eyes disappeared. Douglas fell heavily to the ground.

The men shouted, "Chase!" and left them behind and continued running. Lila just sat quietly where Douglas fell, holding the baby and crying.

Why would humans do things like that?

What does hatred mean?

Although he agreed to disappear from this place, he still killed Douglas who got in his way.

She doesn't understand.

Ross was thinking about these things while running. Douglas said, "No one is a bad person." He could only believe what Douglas said.

But even if that was the right answer, why did such a tragedy happen?

Rose couldn't understand.

Can hatred dominate human emotions so much?

Ignoring reason and easily severing the bonds of many years.

Hatred, what is it?

"She's here!"

Ross turned around when he heard the sound and saw the light of the torch approaching.

Between the pace of adults and children, it is obvious which one is faster.

Ross was thinking.

Plan for survival.

She suddenly realized and turned to the left.

Can you make it?

There is only a glimmer of hope left.

A bet with little chance.

Even so it doesn't matter.

Douglas' words to "live on." Although it was small, I heard it somehow.

At this moment, in this moment, just obey those words.

Beyond the trees, a vast horizon appeared.

"Wait a moment!"

Already close to a few meters, Ross jumped with all his strength one last time. The man's fingers just touched Rose's long hair. Once you jump over this distance, you immediately see the cliff.

Rose fell far below.

The man stopped and shouted "Wow!"

On the way down, Rose became aware for the first time of the tears falling down her cheeks.

Oh, Douglas, this is the sadness.

Immersed in this emotion that he experienced for the first time, Rose gradually disappeared into the darkness.

A few seconds later, there was the sound of water splashing. The men gathered from behind looked down.

"Dead?" one said, and the man trying to catch Rose nodded.

"I jumped down by myself. But from this height, I probably didn't survive."

The men turned and left with satisfaction.

Breathing slowly, Ross realized that he was still alive as consciousness came back to him.

When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by darkness. From the touch, Rose felt that he was soaked and lying on the stone bed. Suddenly I heard a flash of fire and the surrounding area lit up.

Through her narrowed eyes, she found herself in a large space surrounded by walls. And there is a base in the center.

"Are you awake?" A low and trembling voice sounded in her head.

"Who are you...? Where are you?"

There was a burst of laughter in my head at the question.

"You're lucky."

The voice sounded cheerful, but Rose was angry. She had no idea what happened to make her almost die, but she actually said she was lucky.

"Answer my question." Ross sat up and said to the voice.

Then, the owner of the voice laughed again: "I am the will of the 'Devil King', and I will give you the scattered power."

"Demon King?"

Rose repeated that word, her heart trembling.

She heard that story a year ago when her parents abandoned her.

The name "Titan".

Is he the devil with that name?

"You have the right idea."

She was both shocked by this fact and a little skeptical: "What are you going to do to me?"

"Instead, it is you who will gain my power."

"You'll give me this?"

"That's right."

This went really well.

She looked around, wondering if this was a trap, but the Devil laughed.

"Didn't I say you are lucky? My power has been sleeping here, and has been forgotten for a thousand years. The unguarded seal has decayed, and only my remaining thoughts happened to attract you, a man on the verge of death. ."

Rose stood up, still doubtful.

"It's just that simple."

The voice said at the same time, and the wall behind the pedestal moved away, revealing a passage leading to the front.

"You can go back through the back if you don't have to. If you want it, just go forward."

Ross hesitated. If such a thing really existed in this world, as a human being, of course she would long to have it.

But can she trust this voice?

"do you hate me?"

Ross raised his head and looked at the "Devil".

"No matter what happened, I feel your feelings of resentment, jealousy and envy towards me."

Rose lowered her gaze.

Resentment, envy, envy.

Is this what it feels like?

Whenever she recalled those moments that made her heartache, her heart felt like a boiling sea. The people who killed her relatives and Douglas.

Uncontrollable regret washed over her as their faces flashed through her mind.

It turned out to be the case.

"I hate humans."

"The Demon King" heard Rose's words and showed an evil smile.

"I hate this world."

“I hate people who make judgments based on appearance, and I hate the fact that the world turns a blind eye to that.”

"Then what are you going to do?"

Ross flashes a vicious smile at the sound: "I'm going to destroy it, all of it, to fundamentally shatter the concept of beauty."

"Then take away my power. This is the most powerful ability and will help you."

"You don't need to tell me, I'll take it too." Ross said, taking a step forward.
