Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 490 - Returning To New Grenton

Chapter 490 - Returning To New Grenton

Ren, Lara, Tsukiyomi, and Valdel had finished their dealings within the Holy Kingdom and were now heading back to New Grenton. After passing the title of God of Light to Kor, the believers of the Temple of Light were immediately notified. Once it was known to the believers that the new God of Light was a demi-human, of course, many started to leave, yet at the same time to everyone's surprise there were also many that stayed.

It would seem that not all humans believed in the teachings of the head priest Baldur saying that the demi-humans were an inferior race. Those that stayed followed the old doctrines, back in the time when Jeniffer was still a Saintess not the Goddess of Light.

The old doctrines state that the Light shines upon anyone that wishes for salvation. Your race, age, gender, matter not, for as long as you seek the Light with all your heart. Even if you were the greatest of sinners, as long as you repent and show your resolve to change the Light will help you.

When the God of Light changed into the Goddess of Light these old doctrines were slowly forgotten, but there were many that still believed in the old ways. So now that the Deity of the temple of Light has changed once more, maybe the old doctrines could be revived.

...

Before leaving, Ren had promised to send help to the Holy Kingdom, as it was now effectively his. The Holy Kingdom was currently under the rule of the Wolf Kin Mir, but the truth was Ren was the real ruler of the Kingdom. Ren now had control over several kingdoms. He was now pretty much the ruler of all human kingdoms. He even had the elves under his thumb, the only places that were not under his rule were those governed by the demi-humans.

'Hmm... I wonder... After I'm done with the God of Death, which place should I subjugate next? Since I'm already the ruler of so many places, I might as well conquer everything in these lands. This can prove a fine distraction before I need to face the ORIGIN.'

Ren wasn't bothered too much about training, since him simply breathing makes him stronger. It was also easy to gain new techniques by sparring with his numerous incarnations. Still, that would get boring if that was all he did, so conquering everything in sight was a fine hobby to have.

'I wonder, should I try to gain the dwarves next? They're the race that claims to have the best smiths and based on the workmanship on Snertal that might be true. I can also try to take on the dragons as I'm now stronger compared to when I was still demon lord Kretos. Seeing as there are so many half-dragons in this era, that would mean that the dragon race has a nest in this continent. So I could either conquer the dwarves or the dragons. The dwarves are good to have as workers, but the dragons could become good pets."

When Ren remembered the wyvern knights, he imagined himself riding a huge dragon, wouldn't that be quite exciting.

'Riding one of those prideful creatures might prove to be quite fun indeed.' Ren smiled his vicious smile as he thought of him riding on one of those proud dragons. His dream of endless combat had grown, now a dream of conquest had been added. It was at that moment Ren suddenly remembered something and looked at Tsukiyomi who was still bickering with Lara. Noticing Ren's stare, Tsukiyomi looked at him with a seductive smile on her face and then looked at Lara with a sneer.

Lara was infuriated seeing Tsukiyomi look at her that way. The way she was able to express two different emotions with a slight change in her smile was impressive.

"What is it Ren, do you have something you want to say?" Tsukiyomi approached Ren and hugged his right arm. Lara glared at Tsukiyomi, on the other hand, Ren wasn't bothered by her action and simply responded.

"Though I don't have the complete memories of Edge and Rei, I do remember that there was someone else that I have a contract with that was of the same era as you. Your contract is the silver moon above, but below it is the sun. If I remember correctly that sun represents the Dragon Tanith."

When Tsukiyomi heard Tanith's name she frowned a bit. "Yes, what about her?"

"Since the mark of the contract is still here, that should mean like you, she's still alive, correct?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know how I could contact her, or how to summon her?"

"If it was during Edge's era, you could've easily summoned Tanith with the amount of mana you currently have, but now it's different. The current Tanith is too big to be summoned into this plane. and even without that problem, with your current mana, it is impossible to summon her. The only way for us to meet her is if she herself comes here under her own will... If I remember correctly after the battle with the ORIGIN that lizard went to the outer plane to sleep. She did leave me some guards to help me sleep soundly but after that, we haven't been in contact so I don't have any way to call her."

"Hmm, I see..."

"Why are you looking for her, aren't I enough?" Tsukiyomi spoke while pouting.

"I just felt like I wanted to ride a dragon."

"Hmph, you can ride me anytime you want," Tsukiyomi spoke while showing a coquettish expression. It was at that moment Lara could no longer hold it in and hugged Ren's free arm.

"Of course, you can ride me anytime as well."

"That's not what I mean, but whatever. It would be fun to ride a dragon I conquered using my own strength, instead of riding one I got from a previous incarnation." Ren shook his head and had his lips curve slightly upward.

Valdel who was watching from behind found the entire conversation rather ridiculous. The three of them were talking about different things, but they were still able to somehow come to some sort of understanding. Valdel was also bothered that many women from Ren's past lives seem to be appearing one by one.

'This might be a coincidence, but knowing what kind of existence Ren is, I highly doubt it. A great storm unlike any other might befall this era.. Heh, what a time to be alive.'
