Flillian, I want to live.

Fulilian, I Want to Live Author: Axis Cultist

Human emotions are really complicated things.

But survival is the instinct of living things.

The fool devil was unreliable, and he was chopped off along with his sister-in-law Aura.

Well, Lady Flillian, can I start learning how to be a good person today?

Chapter 1 Who hasn't been chopped down by a brave man?

The first time I saw those guys was when Guter went to the human village to eat as usual.

As a demon, killing and eating humans is a matter of course. Although humans always show various expressions before death, Gutel does not understand the meaning of them.

Despite this, Gutel believed that she was particularly kind and compassionate to humans compared to her brutal compatriots, because she did not like meaningless slaughter and wasting food was always bad. With this idea in mind, she would only go to the village to pick out her favorite humans to eat, and as for the rest, she would generously let them go.

It was also because of this that, as there were no large numbers of casualties, no army came to attack Guter. Even if there were a few foolish adventurers who came occasionally, they were all easily killed by Guter without surprise.

"I am a great demon who has lived for a thousand years, you guys are overestimating your own abilities."

Looking at the adventurer team consisting of humans, dwarves and elves in front of him, Gutel put down the prey that had not been killed yet and said to these guys who came to die with a smile.

Although her name is unknown, Gutel possesses powerful magic that is no less powerful than that of the Seven Bengxians. This is something she has accumulated slowly throughout her long life and is also the source of her strong self-confidence.

"Xin Meier, this guy's magic power is very strong..."

Among the group of adventurers, a very conspicuous silver-haired elf was reminding the blue-haired young man who seemed to be the leader something.

"Be thankful, adventurer, I'm in a good mood today. How about this? If you leave that elf to me, I'll promise to spare your lives. How about that?"

Gutel looked at the silver-haired elf who had just spoken. This girl with twin ponytails who seemed to be a magician was very much to her liking. She pointed at her and couldn't help licking her lips while speaking.

"Hellfire magic."

However, before Gutel could get a reply from the others, a huge black flame rushed towards Gutel's face along with the chanting of the silver-haired elf. She had no time to dodge and was instantly swallowed by the black flame.

"Uh-"

The burning pain reached Gutel's brain and made her uncontrollably furious.

"Did it hit? No, that's not right, this guy..."

At the same time, the man dressed as a monk in the team said this while his eyes widened in shock.

In the sight of everyone, Gutel's body, which had been burned by the black flames, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only the burns on her body, but even her Lolita-style black dress was restored to its original state.

"Do you know why, even though I've lived for thousands of years, no one knows my name? Because none of those self-righteous guys were able to bring my name back alive."

A wicked smile crossed Guter's face. When was the last time she felt so embarrassed? Perhaps it was a hundred years ago, when she was harassed by her warlike kin.

"Thunder magic of destruction."

However, as if not giving Gutel any face at all, the silver-haired elf released another powerful magic that flashed with lightning. However, this time, even though Gutel saw the attack clearly, he did not dodge and allowed the lightning to hit him.

"My name is the newly born Gutel. I possess the magic to infinitely restore my body and everything around me. Even if I stand there and let you hit me, you can't kill me, elf."

Almost in an instant, the scars on Gutel's body recovered as before, as if the previous attack was just a massage.

"An unkillable opponent...how interesting."

However, just when Gutel thought that the people in front of him would be frightened by his magic, the blue-haired man who had just been called Xinmeier suddenly smiled and drew his sword.

"What are you laughing at? Now that you know my name, you must die here today."

Guter couldn't understand why this guy named Xin Meier was so calm, as if...

As if he could actually kill himself.

after one day.

"No, no, you are a gentleman, right? How can you treat a little girl like me..."

Gutel had barely finished speaking when the sharp edge of the sword cut the girl's slender neck in two. Then, with a burst of white light, the recovery magic activated and Gutel's flying head returned to its original position.

Gutel couldn't remember how many times she had been beheaded by the man in front of her. Even if she could recover again and again, her spirit was close to collapse. What was even more terrible was that the magic power she was proud of was almost gone, and the other party was like an undead, tirelessly chasing her.

"I won't stop until I kill you, even if it's a thousand times or ten thousand times."

Xinmeier had a confident smile on his face. Although his physical strength was almost exhausted, his confident expression made Gutel completely unaware.

Gutel no longer knew who the monster was. The only thing she wanted now was to escape and survive.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, no matter what, I still want to live——"

With this thought in mind, Gutel ran all the way, and finally, in a panic, she stopped at the edge of a bottomless cliff.

"Huh, huh-"

Xin Meir, who had been chasing him all the way, finally couldn't maintain his composure anymore and began to gasp for breath.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Gutel, who turned back in despair, happened to see this scene.

He has no more strength. Yes, he is just a human being and has his limits.

"Hahaha, there really is always a way out~"

Guter threw his head back and laughed like a madman.

puff.

However, the next moment, Xinmeier, who was just thought to be exhausted by Gutel, rushed to her like lightning and cut off her head again.

"Ugh..."

After recovering, Gutel sat down on the ground. She waved her hand and released fire magic to attack the man in front of her, but the other party easily blocked it with a sword.

"Are you ready, Fleuryen?"

At this moment, Xinmeier, who had his sword against Guter's throat, suddenly opened his mouth and asked back.

"give it to me."

Following the elf girl's response, Xinmeier instantly jumped away, exposing Gutel who was lying on the ground.

"What the hell?"

Gutel's eyes widened as she watched the elf girl, with the help of the dwarf warrior, leap onto a branch nearby and then point her wand at herself.

"Die, Guter."

The elf girl named Frillian chanted silently, and powerful magic gathered in front of her wand.

"You're kidding! With your half-baked magic—No, you, you!"

In Gutel's eyes, the elf girl suddenly burst out with powerful magic that far exceeded her original magic power. Although such magic power could not be compared with that of the Demon King, it even surpassed the level of some of the Seven Collapse Sages.

Are you hiding your magic?

Chapter 2 The future is so dark

After the powerful magic attack, Gutel's body was shattered along with the cliff beneath him, and with a loud bang, he fell into a thousand-meter-deep canyon.

"Ah, I'm so exhausted."

Xin Meir sat down on the ground. The endless fighting for a whole day and night left him without the strength to even raise his arms.

"Looking at your posture, I thought you were a berserker."

The monk Haita came up and helped Xinmei heal his wounds while teasing him.

"Hey, I looked handsome just now, didn't I?"

However, Xin Meir ignored his friend from the same village. Instead, he turned his attention to Fulilian who was checking the situation on the edge of the cliff, and showed off with a smile.

"Didn't see it."

Fulilian answered without turning her head. She squinted her eyes and looked into the dark abyss, as if she was looking for something.

"Are you worried about that demon? Even if she has strong regenerative abilities, she should be dead after being exhausted for so long and taking that blow just now."

Haita pushed up his glasses and comforted Fulilian.

"Well, there's no reaction from the magic detection, but at such a distance, it's still uncertain..."

Fulilian turned her head and replied calmly.

"If we want to go down and explore, we'll have to travel several weeks. Our goal is the Demon King's Castle, and wasting time on something like this is not worth it. Besides, if that Gutel is really not dead, she should have escaped by the time we reach the bottom of the canyon."

Haita put his hands on his hips and analyzed rationally.

"Well, let's rest here for one night and then continue on our journey."

Fulilian nodded, agreeing with Haita's statement.

For Frillian and Sinmeier, this was just a small episode on their road to defeating the Demon King. They later defeated countless great demons like Gutel, so many that history books could not record them in detail one by one. As for Gutel, since there was no record of her survival later, she was also regarded as one of the great demons conquered in the war against demons and was written on the death list.

However, at the bottom of the abyss, with a burst of white light, the dying Gutel simply restored his body with the last bit of magic power.

If it were any other demon, even if the Demon King himself came, he would die from such a serious injury. However, although Gutel is not good at fighting, he has the strongest ability to survive in the entire Demon King's army.

Relying on her strong will to survive, Gutel survived. Although it was fortunate that she survived the disaster, the fear brought to her by Xinmeier and Fulilian was deeply imprinted in her mind.

After that day, Gutel never dared to set foot in a human village again. Even if she happened to encounter a lone human, she would just run away in fear. Although her instinctive desire drove her to hunt humans, whenever she had such an idea, Xinmei's terrifying smiling face would appear in her mind, making her tremble and give up hunting.

No matter who it is, kill that man named Xin Meier.

Gutel prayed like this in her heart. After all, she was not the kind of demon who was good at fighting. If it was Qibengxian or the Demon King, they would definitely be able to kill that man, right?

But one day, a visit from a companion made Gutel feel completely disappointed.

The visitor was a girl with long, flowing blue-green hair. She always had a happy smile on her face, and her emerald green eyes were filled with a desire for the unknown.

The "nameless" great demon, Soltier, like Gutel, is a demon who does not like to show off. Because of this, the two became friends during their long life.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you know? It seems like the Demon King has been defeated by a human hero."

Although he brought the news that the leader, the Demon King, had been killed, Sollitir in front of him did not seem to be very sad.

"Is that so?"

Gutel was shocked, but she still appeared calm on the surface. She was not the kind of demon who was loyal to the Demon King, and she didn't like the huge war provoked by the Demon King. The reason she was surprised was that she was curious that even such a powerful Demon King could be killed by a human warrior.

"Yes, really. I clearly advised the Demon King not to underestimate humans. Although their lives are short, they can always burst out with incredible power."

Solitaire said helplessly.

"Indeed, nothing good ever comes of being associated with humans. By the way, which human did this? Could it be the legendary Hero of the South?"

Gutel nodded, then asked his companion curiously.

"How long has it been since you last heard of the outside world? The Southern Hero was killed by the Seven Collapse Sages a long time ago. The one who killed the Demon King was a human hero named Xin Meir."

Solitier replied, shaking his head, looking at Gutel with an expression as if he were a Martian.

"Xin Meier..."

Gutel's body suddenly trembled, and a chill spread from her heart to her whole body, making her stand there in a daze as if she was under a petrification curse.

"Yeah? Have you seen him?"

Solitaire seemed to have smelled something interesting and came over to look at Gutel.

"Well, we've fought before, I guess."

Guter swallowed his saliva and replied calmly.

"As expected of you, you were able to fight a hero who could kill even the Demon King and escape unscathed~"

Solitaire said excitedly a little late.

"If it's that man, then it's possible."

Gutel closed her eyes, and Xinmei's face appeared in her mind again. All along, the figure of this blue-haired man was like a nightmare that could not be shaken off her.

"But if that happens, the situation might be very bad."

A playful voice came from Soltier's side.

"What's wrong? Since the Demon King is dead, the war should be over."
