Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 93

Not a single shred of light illuminated the room. Deep within it…

"Obviously, I need…I need to eliminate Luminous-sama." Granbell muttered to himself. His eyes darkened, filled with bottomless hatred.

Granbell dedicated over a thousand years of his life to humanity. Even though his goal in life had changed, aiming to become the ruling class and gain absolute power and domination, Granbell still wished for peace to human society. His resolve was unquestionable.

Over time, he had to endure countless betrayals, the deaths of his companions that supported him and endless suffering. But despite everything, Granbell’s tenacity enabled him to overcome every single challenge he had faced in order to protect humanity in this world.

While he had Demon lord Luminous' aid, Granbell’s own effort was irreplaceable. In the distant past, he used to talk about dreams and ideals with his companions. Making promises with the people that gradually passed on to the other world.

When the hope of his family, Mariabell, was born, he was just one more step away from accomplishing his dream.

Even then…Granbell had lost hope.

The East and the West.

Human kind needed to stand united against the demon lords, or else, humanity would not survive.

Nowadays, the demon lords had been reduced to the Octagram, and their power was at its prime. Although the Demon lord council were reduced to eight, their power hadn’t diminished but rather increased instead.

The demons let loose by the Lord of Darkness Guy Crimson plundered the northern lands like it was their playground.

Continent’s Wrath Dagruel had his eyes set on human society as well, because of his ambition for territorial expansion. As of yet, he had avoided conflict with the Queen of Nightmares and did not act against her. However, it was unknown how much longer he could tolerate it.

In addition, power beyond human comprehension was intervening within the Eastern Empire.

Granbell suspected that it was the doing of the Sleeping Ruler behind the scenes, but he had no evidence to back it up.

And then the most dangerous of them; Demon lord Rimuru Tempest.

Facing against all these powerful beings, Granbell needed to protect humanity from harm.

Yet this wish of his was also—

“That brat had some boring goal too. He could take the reins if he wants. I am already tired….”

Granbell didn’t know how much longer he would live either. Now that Mariabell had died, there was no one qualified enough to take on the role of Granbell’s successor.

Without a mediator, humanity would soon walk the path of destruction. They would show their true nature and desires, even beginning to slaughter each other. That was simply how humans were as a species.

A long, long time ago, Granbell’s wife, who Mariabell resembled a lot, was killed by these kinds of people.

All for the sake of the children who survived, Granbell suffered his pains and sorrows alone this entire time, yet his life was about to come to an end.

“This world has taken everything from me….it is best that it falls....”

His quiet but passionate words were genuine. This was Granbell’s heart speaking without a single false pretense.

He had already been consumed by insanity.

And so, he had made up his mind.

Granbell had gone mad.
