Chapter 10: Choices and Future goals

"Now what do I tell them I awakened, aura or mana?"

Yes, although he had awakened both of them, but as someone who died in his previous life due to betrayal Arthur knew that fortune's crown may attract not only admirers but also schemers seeking its coveted jewels

In other words, his awakening both aura and mana which has been impossible throughout the history of Elias and humanity would ultimately bring him more harm than good

After all, while it may make him the center of attraction and bring fame and fortune, but who could say there wouldn't be any who sought to exploit him or find his secrets

Thinking of this, Arthur decided to wait for a while, it was only after concluding that would he return to the outside world

"Unfortunately, this brings me back to the first question, knights or magic?"

Murmuring to himself, it wasn't until a few minutes later that Arthur came to a conclusion

"Aura! I choose you!"

"Ha-ha, now that I think about it, it would actually be quite funny. The first son from the mage family turned out to be an aura user"

Laughing inwardly, Arthur after a bit of thought chose to be an aura user over a mage in the public eye

Not for any special reason but that his favorite character in his last life, the demon king from the 'Demon Kings Symphony' was a mage

And for him to be like his idol, them being a mage was a must.

With this in mind, Arthur intended to find some time to create another persona. His usual Arthur Thorneheart would be the black sheep of the Thorneheart family who practiced swordsmanship and Aura instead of magic

While his demon king persona would be a supreme demon lord who wielded supreme magic terrorizing all those who stood in his way

And as for him using both at the same time? Arthur decided to leave that as a trump card ready to deal with unexpected situations

"But there doesn't seem to be any demon kings and demon lords in the history of Elias, although powerful demons do exist but they're all scattered and never united unlike other races"

"However then again, this might be due to the diversities of demons as all kinds of them exist such as Succubi, devils, imps, Oni with so many more unlike other races such as elves, dwarves, and humans who have one form making it easier for them to unite"

Thinking about this, Arthur couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he seemed to see his future self floating in the sky and playing the piano, while also overlooking the ten-thousand races just like the demon king of symphony

"Alright that serves it, first order of business goes like this. Find a demon, recruit it, and begin your journey to become the first demon king!"

Saying this, Arthur suddenly had a sense of relief as all this time while he was happy all this while with his new family and all

But deep within himself, Arthur had always felt empty of sorts as he didn't have a goal anymore

The transcendence he tried so hard to achieve within his first life, in this life was so easily presented before him from his first year in this world with the housemaids using magic on a daily basis to clean the house

Thinking how his eyes sparkled the first time he saw a maid controlling a flying duster to dust the tables, Arthur couldn't help but let out a light chuckle

"However, with this, the situation has changed"

"Get ready Elias, for your first demon king is about to be born!"

Unfortunately, what Arthur did know was that as he made this decision, unknown waves had begun to stir all throughout Elias

..........

Principality of Light, Central Cathedral.

The principality of light or the empire of light, as an empire ranked within the top three of human empires its influence all around could be said to be unmatched

And just like its name, it is an empire dedicate to serving the god of light, according to them only through the god of light can all souls be saved

However, at this moment completely unknown to outsiders but the all-powerful empire of light was currently in a state of distress

'When the stars return and when the kingdoms fall'

'The demons shall dance and their kings shall rise"

'All must be prepared or meet their demise'

reading the oracle he had just gotten from his god; the pope couldn't help but believe his ears

"Sigh... why is it when it's my turn to act that all these kinds of trouble arise"

Putting down a piece of paper, a blond-haired young man in all white robes grumbled as he thought of the contents of the oracle he just read

Staring at the paper with all seriousness, his light blue eyes seemed to slightly dilate before regaining his calm

"Although gods haven't been present in the world for hundreds of years making people question their existence, but only the truly powerful know that they actually exist

"And only fewer of them have means to communicate with them, with us as the church of light being one of them"

"That said, with the god of light issuing an oracle which he hasn't done in hundreds of years, then it means this case is a particularly serious one"

Talking to himself, the pope began to look through the various key words of the oracle one by one

"Stars return, kingdoms fall, demons, demon king, prepared, demise"

Looking these words, although the pope wasn't completely sure what these things meant, but regarding demons he was quite familiar with them

"Filthy beings, back then I was rejected by the council when I presented them this plan"

"However, thanks to this I don't see them saying no in anyway"

Saying this, the pope had a light smile on his face as he took out a somewhat dusty book from underneath his desk

Its just that if anyone else saw the title of the book, they would be in shock as they wouldn't expect the ever-gracious pope of light to hold such an item

'Race supremacy plan: vol1 demon extermination!'

Yes, the current pope of light was a human supremacist who aimed to exterminate all other races in the world of Elias
