Demon Sword Maiden - Chapter 29Volume 12 - Yomi-no-kuni: – Lily Enters The Palace

The whole people cross the border of mountains and seas.

Su Mu, who was reborn, said, I just want to live in peace and quiet.

Every day, I take a thousand-year-old strange beast for a walk, and a ten-thousand-year-old giant beast for a walk.

Occasionally go fishing for a few mermaids and come back, the days are free and comfortable.

When I get bored, I kidnap a dragon girl and come back to play with it.

Hey, I’m just playing….!

- Description from novelbuddy

800 years ago, 3000 dimensional gates opened across the entire world. In that moment, it was as if 3000 different colored eyes opened across the world as hordes of monsters swarmed out of these gates like tears.

Some could destroy city walls with one strike; They had bodies the size of a giant and fed on humans

Some latched onto humans, absorbing their bodies’ nutrients and enslaving humans

Some infiltrated the humans’ cities, disguising themselves as normal human beings while feeding upon human blood to sustain themselves.

In a night, the Human race fell to the bottom of the food chain.

The world had turned into a paradise for monsters…
