Chapter 1730 Demondeath
The City of Demondeath, often simply called Demondeath, stood out as a vital city in the Kaisaayan Empire.
It differed significantly from all the cities of Anfang.
Labh Salem lacked Badlands for hunting monsters, and the presence of mana beasts and demon beasts was mostly placed away from the general population.
Instead, conflicts revolved around various factions seeking dominance, such as demonic cults, half-blood clans, Templars from god-dedicated temples, and pantheon-specific organizations.
Labh Salem exhibited a profound divide between the divine and demonic factions, yet unity prevailed within each faction when facing the enemy.
Demondeath City operated on a similar principle. Housing the Kaaysaayan's Demon Slayer Corps, it welcomed applicants from all faiths to form a united front against the demonic faction.
As it aimed to unite faiths across the Onianum continent, it couldn't be tied to a particular faith or temple, prompting the Kaisaayan empire to oversee its affairs. The Corps served as a central force against demonic entities within the empire's borders.
Moreover, the Demon Slayer Corps collaborated with pan-continent and global agencies to combat the demonic threat. The Corps functioned as part of a vast network to repel the influence demonic entities sought to spread among the masses.
The City of Demondeath housed teleportation portals exclusively for authorized personnel of the Kaaysaayan's Demon Slayer Corps, facilitating travel to different regions of the kingdom. Serving as a central hub, the city allowed Corps members to commute to and from mission sites.
Those with proper clearance could use these portals to journey to different kingdoms and even continents requiring their intervention.
At the heart of Demondeath, the Kaaysaayan's Demon Slayer Corps headquarters stood as a testament to architectural magnificence. Its towering structure seemed to meld seamlessly with the magical energies that permeated the city.
The city's skyline was a symphony of enchantment, illuminated by floating orbs of magical light that cast a soft radiance upon the streets below. The very stones beneath one's feet seemed imbued with integrated Skills, pulsating with a gentle glow that guided the way through the city's labyrinthine thoroughfares.
Demondeath's architecture, a harmonious blend of magical prowess, Mesh integration, and visionary design, elevated the city to a realm beyond the ordinary. It stood not just as a testament to craftsmanship but as a living testament to the intertwined destinies of magic and civilization, where the mana wove itself into the very fabric of the city's existence.
Demondeath also featured separate districts specifically dedicated to food-related activities and entertainment. Unlike typical cities, the royal presence was not welcome here.
Despite previous attempts by the royal family to establish an isolated district within the city, citizens vehemently opposed the idea, leading the royal family to abandon the notion.
In the end, Kaisaayan's royalty dropped the idea of establishing its royal presence, which was ironic considering the fact that it still had to support the city from its own coffers.
One could say that the temples belonging to various gods were only using the Kaaisayaan empire's royalty to act as a middle person while they dealt with each other. Still, it wasn't that the empire's royalty didn't have any backers.
The Templars of various faiths allowed Kaisaayan's royalty to look after the city's matters because the Kaisaayan royal family had a backing of the Great Mother– the patron goddess of all the Amazonians.
While the Kaisaayan royal family managed the affairs of its empire, the Great Mother held sway over the extensive network that encompassed the Kaisaayan Demon Slayer Corps.
The goddess served as a unifying force, aligning various elements within the divine faction.
Guiding her pantheon in spearheading efforts against the demonic presence in Labh Salem, the continents under the divine faction's influence enjoyed prolonged periods of stability and prosperity spanning centuries.
