Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

"What do you mean by I will become the next demon lord?" Vicar asks that as he couldn't believe that he would become one simply because he was wearing an Atheas Ring. 

"As I said, I will need to explain to you from the beginning why you will become the next demon lord..." Eleon said that. 

We had no other choice but to listen to Eleon explanation. We both don't know anything of this matter and myself also wonder why Vicar would become the next demon lord. 

Eleon then started his explanation as we listen to it closely. We didn't want to miss out any important detail about it. This was about me as I do want to know about myself more. 

'Eleon Explanation'

When the twelve holy knights had defeated the first demon lord, the Atheas Ring then belong to the holy knights. 

The holy knight realizes that the Atheas Ring was a dangerous item that should be destroyed. They don't want any people to gain a power that could be a threat in Acres anymore. 

Destroying the Atheas Ring wasn't an easy task at all, it couldn't break even though they tried all sort of thing. It left them with one option. 

Was to send the Atheas Ring to another dimension which they think it was a good option. That way no one will get the Atheas Ring, and peace will remain in Acres for good. 

The task of sending the Atheas Ring to another dimension was given to one of the holy knights that were a brilliant mage. Only he can create a spell that will open up another dimension and finish the job once and for all. 

The holy knight that was entrusted with this task always had a curiosity about the Atheas Ring. On how did a ring would be so powerful that needed the twelve of them to able to defeat it, the wearer. 

He works hard on creating the spell that could allow another dimension to be open up for years and finally he managed to do it. 

But there was something on his mind. It was about the Atheas Ring. Before he would finish his task, he would want to know the secret about the Atheas Ring. 

Without the other holy knight knowing, he wanted to see for himself what make the Atheas Ring powerful. He put the Atheas Ring on his finger and he soon knows about the Atheas Ring. 

He soon discovers that the Atheas Ring wasn't just a ring as it was a living being just like a human. It speaks to only the one that was wearing it. 

The holy knight couldn't believe it that as he then began to attempt to make a conversation with the Atheas Ring. For his surprise, the Atheas Ring did talk to him but it condemns the twelve holy knights for killing the demon lord. 

The holy knight did respond that they do what they must to do to keep peace in the world of Acres. The Atheas Ring told the holy knight that they're wrong and the demon lord should not be killed. 

He began to get curious about it and ask why the Atheas Ring thought that way. Soon enough, the holy knight knows the real reason why the demon lord brings destruction on Acres and realize he might be wrong. 

As they didn't even try to think the reason as they obey the God order to defeat the demon lord. With that, he began to feel bad about it but he couldn't do anything as the demon lord had already perished from Acres for good. 

The Atheas Ring then offered him a chance to redeem on their mistake to find a successor of the demon lord. With that, both the holy knight and the Atheas Ring started to find the new demon lord. 

The other holy knights didn't know about it but they're a little bit suspicious on the one that was entrusted with the task of sending the Atheas Ring to another dimension. 

After a while, they soon discovered that the Atheas Ring wasn't sent into another dimension and worse that one of their comrades was working with the Atheas Ring. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%!d(string=15773946405908905)/atheas-ring-past_%!d(string=51462120251914300)">#%!d(string=15773946405908905)/atheas-ring-past_%!d(string=51462120251914300)</a> for visiting.

Their Gods tell the rest of the holy knights to kill their comrade as the Atheas Ring has already corrupted him. Knowing that he would be killed, he then sends the Atheas Ring to another dimension. 

Is he afraid the God itself would take action or he would lose the Atheas Ring? But he has altered the dimension spell that he had created that will make the Atheas Ring return to Acres in a certain time. 

The rest of the holy knights followed the God command and killed their comrades but they couldn't find the Atheas Ring. They didn't know that the Atheas Ring had been sent to another dimension. 

But they also didn't know that he survived as he then soon flee from there. He knows that he still needs to find the next demon lord but there's no way that he could do it alone.

That's why he spreads he believes and soon enough the world of Acres had another threat that was coming from the follower of the demon lords during the rebuilding era.

That man that once known as one of the holy knights become a leader among the follower. He then abandoned his old titles and on that day, he was known as the Lord-seeker. 

The holy knight was sent to stop the follower from spreading it believes another demon lord would appear. They did everything they could to prevent it from happening. 

-End Explanation-

After we all of this stuff, Vicar then ask something towards Eleon."But how do you know about this stuff, people in Acres seems to not know about it at all." 

Eleon then said, "You both should know that I had been stuck here for ages and I was in Acres when the rebuilding era, that's why I know a lot of it." 

"Still, there isn't any of this mention in history at all... I thought the rebuilding era was a peaceful one... Never had I heard a war during that time." Vicar said that. 

"Of course you never heard of it, the holy knight does their job to making sure that all of the followers were kill and no one knows about it," Eleon said. 

"But why did the holy knights wanted to cover this up, shouldn't it be better that it become a history that people should know," Vicar said that.

"They afraid that more people would become a demon lord follower when the truth has been revealed. That's why the holy knight makes sure that no one else knows about the existence of the demon lord follower." Eleon said that. 

Vicar then remembers something as he then asks Eleon about it, "I know someone that knows about the demon lord follower, how did they know it if all of this was a secret." 

When Vicar said that, I did remember Captain Callum and Sir Esmir talk about it when the skeletons attack our town. 

Eleon laughs as he said, "That must be they're the holy knight descendants, only their family member know about it and they must have told their children about it."

The moment we heard about that, we really find it hard to believe that they were the descendant of the holy knights but I don't think that Eleon was lying about it. 

If it were true, it would explain why a group of old guys were still in great shape plus their stats were quite high. That would explain why they did try to hide what happens to the skeleton lord after the white light that blinded our vision back then. 

It must be a secret technique passed down and they didn't want anyone to know about it. The weapon that they also possessed quite rare and that's why they had the Overshadow, Sword Of The Void in the first place because it also been passed down. 

Vicar wanted to ask more about it but the boat that we currently in suddenly start to shakes. Vicar then quickly look to what had caused the boat to shake. 

We both were surprised to see a giant tentacle was behind us. It tried to grab the boat. Thanks to Eleon fast reaction, the boat managed to evade it as if not the tentacle would surely grab the boat. 

"What is that!" Vicar shouted...

"That's the monster in this river, you could say a guardian that guard the river... to make sure no one ever escaped the desert area," Eleon said that. 

"You mean it was like the dragon in the desert, why don't you tell about it earlier!" Vicar said. 

"I'm sorry as I actually wasn't a sailor, I want to get to the other side and thought to push inside the river... I would be then able to get away safely." Eleon said that.
