The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

The Bloody Witch of Meldech (Side Chapter, Part 2)

The eleventh volume of the book about the human-demon wars was a detailed history of everything related to that topic. It chronicled its background, which was said to have started the moment the previous conflict ended, and up to the legacy it gave to all races that were involved.

"..."

Well, I'm a fast reader, but I still hadn't been able to finish the entire book. I guess it would require several sittings—so I planned to read that again sometime later.

For now, I just need to know about the summary of that conflict. Maybe I'd get some clues about that crisis God is telling me...

"..."

Alright, so if you're wondering, here's a summary of what I understood.

The most recent demon war began with the succession of the demon king, Melqart Buvor, to the infernal throne of the demon race. Upon uniting the entire demon lordships, he embarked on an ambitious plan to conquer the human realm—the first step in his revanchist desire after their defeat in the previous conflict with humanity.

Aided with a new, powerful form of magic, King Melqart launched an invasion that destroyed the kingdoms of Venn and Thelmose, as well as many other duchies and principalities that are in their path. Many humans suffered and died; either from the murderous demons or the famine and plagues that followed their destruction.

The northern countries were the most affected. They tried to ask for the help of the Empire of Chersea—the strongest human state, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. The Imperials also sought to strengthen their defenses, should the armies of the demons arrive in their borders, and the process left the northern Cherseans to their ruin.

It was at this time that in the part of the Empire nearest the armies of the demon king, the duchy of Nerfes called for the aid of the heavens. They collaborated with the Saint, who refused to evacuate and decided to stand with her loyal paladins. Under the auspices of the great god, Gaius and his consort, Arame, they summoned powerful individuals to help humanity survive the bitter struggle against the demons. These men and women are now called 'Heroes'.

The war lasted for several seasons, even with the help of the heroes. It is the most destructive and bitterest conflict ever to face humankind. Millions died, kingdoms obliterated, the lands to the further north of Chersea turned to desolate wastelands. But in the end, humans prevailed and drove the invaders back to their lands...

Ah well, it's pretty interesting to note the names of the heroes brought together by the Saint of that time.

The knight, Jimmy Nee Rubinforth (Maddie's great ancestor, and Ruro's first love).

Terebia of the Bow.

The shield-bearer Asteritt Falias.

Magus Olime Tammy Feenas.

Cassandra David, the Golden Sword of Heavens.

That last hero, Cassandra David...her name sounds familiar to me. I didn't know where exactly I heard of it, but it felt like I uttered that name before...

Anyway, long story short, the general history of the human-demon war was: before heroes—defeat, after heroes—win. A typical ending for any fantasy novel out there, I know. But well, it's on the after-effects of that conflict that I once again became interested.

Because, during the war, the heroes were supported by the duchy of Nerfes and other autonomous states of the Empire that were still functioning. The Holy Palatial Gardens also helped the heroes, and that caused a rift in the relationship of those surviving northern duchies and the rest of the Imperial Chersea.
