Amon let out a quiet laugh.
Meanwhile, Frey's expression darkened further.
"I'm honestly surprised the entire world failed to grasp something so obvious…"
"…No. Perhaps they did realize it."
"They simply gave up on seeking the answer—because it was beyond their comprehension."
Frey said nothing.
Because Amon's logic… was sound.
If all demons originated from Manus—the ancient First Demon who had long since lost his power—
Then where did Manus himself come from?
Did he appear out of nothing?
Impossible.
"Why…" Amon continued,
"…were demons created in a way that makes them hostile to all living things?"
"We were made to feed on aura. To devour life force. To slaughter every living creature in this world."
"Why are we so powerful… to the point that we alone can stand against all other races?"
He asked several questions in succession—
Before falling silent briefly.
Then answering them all himself.
"Because demons were created."
"Forged… for that very purpose."
