Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut Vol 19 Prologue

Prologue – The Curse of Hero


「Now, answer me my wise little brother. What do you wish for from here on.」

.

The imperial palace of the Arcadia Empire was shrouded with rising sparks of flames.

Two Bahamuts were facing each other. The night sky that was adorned by the colors of jet black and red acted as their background.

.

In the imperial castle five years ago, the emperor took Airi hostage and Lux’s revolution failed.

But──Fugil who had been pretending to be unable to fight as a Drag-Knight until then eradicated the imperial soldiers present and told Lux about his mission to change the world using the ArtifactVariable Drag-Ride.

Humans would rule over other humans and gradually form a tyrannical system──and like that the balance of the world would gradually go out of order. Fugil had been secretly maneuvering behind the scenes for more than a thousand years in order to correct the crumbling balance.

No, Lux didn’t know whether Fugil’s deeds could really be called secret maneuvers.

Fugil was genuinely wishing to save this world.

He would save people. And then the successors of those people he saved would eventually grow impudent and prideful, and begin to oppress the people once more. When that time came, Fugil would act as the punisher that would destroy the system that went out of order.

He told Lux to massacre all the important people in the Arcadia Empire, the imperial family and the chief vassals, in order to bring an end to everything.

People wouldn’t change their way of thinking once they had been infected by the poison called authority.

He declared that Lux’s method that wished to urge such people to reform themselves wouldn’t be able to change anything.

But Lux didn’t give in even after being told that.

「Even so, I──」

Lux looked back and thought.

Within the Old Empire, Lux and Airi didn’t get infected by the poison of authority and were kept at a distance by the people in power. In such a situation──they were saved by Fugil.

Without Fugil’s strength, Lux wouldn’t even be able to stand on the stage to assert his will like this.

Once the people who didn’t know anything one-sidedly decided that Lux was evil just because he was royalty and hated him. They even abandoned his mother to die. It made Lux hate the world.

But, now after Philuffy had saved him, he couldn’t bring himself to hate the people.

Fugil was saying that the Arcadia family and the people who sided with them, not even one of them held compassion towards the masses. But──

「I believe, that you are wrong.」

「Hou……」

The duty of a hero was to ascertain what is evil and destroy it without fail.

Fugil claimed that he had continued to destroy such evils until now. In response Lux looked straight into his eyes.

「You shouldn’t just leave it to other people, you should lead them yourself! If you have the ideal that you want people to understand each other then──!」

「──But, you are unable to turn your ideals into reality.」

Fugil smiled scornfully towards Lux and replied.

Lux and Count Atismata were outwitted by the emperor. Their revolution ended in failure.

「You are unable to judge evil and save the good. To do such thing is impossible even with my power. A power that equaled a god would be necessary for that. You don’t have both the resolve and the qualification to control such power. You are the weakest who can’t even ascertain what should be saved and what should be discarded. Someone like you──」

After Fugil muttered that, Uroboros squirmed behind him and emitted seven-colored light radiantly.

Right after that, the two of them drew out their sword as though mirroring each other and rushed forward.

    Hmmmh, it s like there has to be 2 new series to explain 5 years ago rebel and 1000 years ago rebel. I thought fugil deliberately let count atismata be killed so fugil would make lux king. Why would author still made “atismata died because he was weak” but fugil clearly protected lux like 5 years ago at ries island, fooler than count was. I thought fugil heard listelka said “is it bad if we misuses xfer s tech” to aeril at vol 13 but fugil did not immediately betray her.
    So to be king of salvation, firstly, Fugik must like the candidate.
    .
    .
    Fugil seemed to help every candidate at the cover as singlen said within lux s dream but if he did not like him/her, fugil would only set up the stage and not interfere at all until the very end. If he liked him/her, he would involve himself as he wanted to (singlen, lux, listelka).
