Volume 5 Chapter 24
...The Ultra Demon Lord was my father, who should have been dead.
And he wants me to kill him.
...Me?
Kill my precious family...?
My father, who raised me all alone?
My benefactor, who taught me the skills of a beast veterinarian?
...My, the precious person who taught me to love people and beasts?
That's...that's...!
"There's no way I can...do that!"
My father is my beloved family.
There's no way I can kill him!!!!!
What is my father saying?
He's not the type to casually say "kill"...
"F-Father! Are you being controlled by someone!? Right!?"
I can only think of it that way!
Otherwise, there's no way he would leave such a cruel thing to his child!
Hearing my words, Father...smiled sadly.
...It was so much like my father when he was alive, and I'm even more distraught.
I didn't think he was being controlled.
"Zeke...kill me. Otherwise, you will lose something precious!"
"!? What do you..."
"Exactly! Here I go!"
Father disappears in an instant.
Lost sight of him!?
Where....
"Too slow!"
"Guahhhhh!"
Father kicked me from my blind spot.
The kick hit my ribs.
The force was so great, I heard the sound of my bones breaking.
I immediately used healing...what!?
"Hand of God...doesn't work!?"
"That's right. That's the power of this, the Flame of Ruin."
"Flame of...Ruin?"
Black flames dwelled on Father's hands and feet.
"This flame deals damage to the burned area that cannot be regenerated. Zeke, the reason your healing power doesn't work is because I've given you a destructive power that surpasses it."
"Gah-cough...! I...see..."
The power of regeneration can't keep up with the destruction.
Maybe even now, my cells are still being destroyed.
Conversely, if I didn't have Hand of God, I would have been dead a long time ago.
"This flame will never disappear as long as the user...that is, I am alive. Zeke! Kill me quickly!"
Kill me.
Where is the enemy who would say such a thing....
What is the meaning of revealing his hand....
There, I feel the will to have myself stopped.
...Father.
In front of me is, My respected, Grisha Vetarinari himself.
"You can't kill me, right"
"Zeke!"
"That's impossible!"
I...I can't defeat Father.
I'm here now because Father raised me with all his might and taught me the skills of a beast veterinarian.
Because Father was there, I was able to save many lives.
If Father hadn't been there...I...wouldn't be here now.
Such a person....
I can't kill him.
"Zeke! Don't be naive! Now...your country is in big trouble!"
"Wh...what...?"
What's wrong with the country...?
What is Father talking about...?
"The one who resurrected me is a Demonkin man named Jamael"
"! That guy...again...!"
He's the man who has repeatedly appeared before us and caused trouble.
"He resurrected me and a hero named Makhen. And Makhen is...now in the Demon Lord's country"
"! What!?"
Makhen...why?
Wait, though.
The Demon Lord's country has Makhen in it...?
The guy who holds a grudge against me would do one thing in my country.
Father's words combined with...
Images of my loved ones and their lives being trampled flashed through my mind.
"......"
"I'm here to order you to stop him. My body cannot refuse this order. Zeke...quickly kill this father of yours. And...go to your country immediately and go to help them"
