Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 1: Two People Returning from Heaven
More than a thousand years before the death of Xin.

During the unified empire, the empire—

As the carriage carrying two people slowly crossed the river and mountains.

Walking out of the dense forest and slowly driving on the small road in the vast wilderness.

Agusid, who has lived as a "great demon" for five hundred years since traveling through this world.

For the first time, I saw the city known as the "Imperial Capital"—

Asperger

It is a magnificent city, almost comparable to the ancient ruins in grandeur and beauty.

But all this did not cause any ripples in Agusid's heart.

"Finally I see the imperial capital again..."

The complete opposite of Agushid.

The red-haired woman sitting next to him propped up her face with one hand, seeming to be expecting something.

"The news of the return of the Great Mage Volame should have spread long ago. I'm sure my students have been waiting for a long time."

She spoke to herself, glancing at Agusid who remained silent.

He still had that expressionless look on his face, which was disappointing.

"Why not try to wait and see? Perhaps one of my students will be able to see through your disguise."

Volame's smile was rather playful, perhaps because he found the scene quite amusing.

"That is impossible."

Agushide didn't care about Volame's words and even found them ridiculous.

"Except for the Demon King, Celia, and you, Celia's disciple.

There is no other magician in the world who can see through my disguise magic."

Volame did not refute Agushid.

She just kept that smile:

"Agushid, you will suffer great harm if you underestimate my disciples..."

Agushid's expression remained calm as he watched from afar the magical fluctuations emanating from the imperial capital.

"If you think they can accomplish something that even the Corrupted Sage and the Omniscient One cannot, then I will wait and see."

Volame did not continue to argue with him.

She stretched and leaned against Agusid in a comfortable position.

Agusid frowned and calculated the time while looking at the sun.

"You just woke up, didn't you?"

"Can't you go back to sleep after you wake up?"

There was no way to refute Volame's words which were almost like a trick.

Agushid could only let her continue to lie down lazily.
From leaning to lying, Volame, with his head resting on Agusid's legs, smiled helplessly at Agusid, whose expression remained unchanged.

"What a boring man."

Volame closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the wind coming from the distant fields, and sighed softly:

"Ten whole years. It's been a long journey."

"Long? Only ten years have passed."

"If you hadn't insisted on going all the way to the southern border of the empire, this time would have been even shorter."

Volame listened to Agusid's unintentional words and smiled lightly.

"That's... only ten years..."

"What seems like a long journey to me is probably only an insignificant one percent of your long life..."

Agushide did not understand Volame's deeper meaning. He just answered truthfully:
"That's too exaggerated. One in fifty is still possible."

"One in fifty?"

Instead of being angry that Agushide didn't understand what he meant, Volame pretended to be surprised.

"Agushid, your future life will surely be so long that I cannot even imagine..."

"Maybe."

"What a perfunctory answer..."

"Even if you say so, I can't give you a better answer. After all, I really can't understand human emotions."

Although he had known this for a long time, Volame was not discouraged at all.

She was quiet for a moment, then suddenly spoke again before Agusid's attention gradually turned to the scenery.

"Agushid, I want to tell you that I have someone I like."

Agushide just paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and asked:

"who is it?"

Volame listened to this unsurprising answer and chuckled softly:
"He's a man who doesn't understand romance..."

"What do you mean?"

Then there was silence.

The two of them fell silent, as if they didn't know how to continue the topic.

After a long while, Agusid finally broke the silence.

"You've been acting a little strange these days, Volame."

Agushide's words made Volame, who was resting his head on his legs, turn over.

"What's weird?"

Holding up his finger, Aguishid began to give examples based on his memory.

"After we escaped death in Ende and left Heaven, you were depressed for a while..."

"But ever since I fell unconscious for a few days at the Goddess Monument in the Chino Mountains due to [Goddess Magic]—"

"You seem to become exceptionally cheerful, and you feel happier than if you had found Heaven."

Agushid's words made Volame open his eyes.

She lay on Agueshid's legs, her feet shaking up and down.

"So what do you want to ask?"

Aguishid didn't try to be mysterious. He asked directly:

"Did something happen in those days in the Chino Mountains that changed your attitude?

Or are human emotions just so fickle?"

His answer caused Volame to chuckle softly, as if she hadn't expected the question to be this one. After thinking for a moment, Volame didn't answer immediately. She first asked back:

"Which do you think is more likely, the former or the latter?"

"former."

Volame closed her eyes again, and finally she chose to lie.

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong. It's the latter."

"Agushid, you really still don't understand humans."

"For humans, surviving a disaster should be optimistic..."

Volame lowered his legs and swayed his body from side to side.

"Besides, surviving an encounter with the Demon King is something to be thankful for, isn't it?"

When he heard Volame mention the Demon King, Agusid sighed rarely.

"You still have the nerve to say that, Volame..."

"You almost caused me to be killed by the Demon King."

"The Demon King has also ordered that I am not allowed to set foot in the Ende region for a thousand years."

"I never thought I'd meet the Demon King at the northern end of the continent..."

There was no trace of guilt in Volame's words.

"Who could have guessed that he would actually plan to build the Demon King's Castle there?"

Agushide was speechless, he could never win an argument with Volame.

To be more precise, he had no intention of arguing with Volame.

Perhaps he still had that kind of emotion when he first came to this world and became a demon five hundred years ago.

but now……

Agusid turned his head and looked at the surrounding fields.

just now……

He even forgot his name and appearance in his previous life.

Not to mention those so-called emotions.

During his five hundred years of solitary life as a demon, he had almost forgotten everything except magic.

Sensing that something was wrong with Agusid, he turned his body back to the front.

Looking up at Agusid's completely human face.

"Do demons also have troubles?"

Volame asked.

"As long as there's life, there will be emotions like joy, worry, and anger, right?"

Agushid could not deny it.

"What about 'love'?"

Listening to what came out of Volame's mouth, Agusid put his hand on Volame's forehead.

After confirming that Volame's brain wasn't damaged by a cold, he responded calmly:

"You're imagining things again. How can demons have an emotion like 'love'?"

"This strange thing called 'love' and 'being loved' is something you wouldn't be able to understand even if you spent a thousand years."

Agushid was not exaggerating.

Once, when he realized that he was gradually losing his human emotions, he thought about regaining those emotions.

But hundreds of years passed, and not only did he not get anything back, but he lost more and more.

Volame didn't say anything. She moved her head, which was resting on Agusid's legs, inside.

"How far is it from the imperial capital?"

"At this rate, it will take about two hours."

Looking at the city in the distance, Agushide roughly estimated the distance.

"It's still going to take so long..."

Volame murmured softly, then raised his finger and poked Agusid's cheek.

"what happened?"

"I want to see the flower fields."

"But you can't see it lying here, and there's no flower field nearby."

"I want to see the flower fields."

"Please spare me, Volame..."

"I want to see the flower fields."

"My magic isn't meant to allow you to see flower fields anytime, anywhere—"

In response to Volame's unreasonable behavior, Agu lowered his head and wanted to refuse.

But looking at her expectant eyes, he finally sighed.

"this is the last time."

Aguxid extended his right hand.

[Magic that gives the body earthy properties]

[Magic that allows things to penetrate clothes]

as well as--

【Magic of Flower Field】

Looking at Agusid, whose whole body was covered with flowers in an instant, and who placed his right hand covered with flowers in front of her.

Volame chuckled again.

The last time he said it was also the last time.

So gentle——

"You really... don't look like a demon..."

He stretched out his hand and slowly plucked the mirror lotus that happened to be blooming on Agusid's heart.

For a moment, Volame wished that time would stop at this moment forever——

Just like the flower language of this mirror lotus...
