―Kwasik!

“Neferti!!”

It was his favorite junior. A princess, a duke’s daughter. Aside from that.

He was a talented person with a promising future as a person responsible for the future of the empire.

Neferti is hit by the spear wielded by the monster and flies into the air.

Will it be okay? Is it alive? Even if you avoid serious injury, that’s a loss of strength!

I wanted to run right away and check on the situation.

I wanted to see with my own eyes whether he was still breathing.

But it didn’t happen. Because he had to continue this fight right now.

“You guy!!”

Swing the sword as best as you can.

Once, twice, three times. Cut down the opponent with continuous attacks.

Blood splatters and wounds form. It definitely caused damage to that guy.

“It’s pretty good! On the topic of lower creatures!”

However, it seems that for him it was just a rather deep cut.

It was not possible to cut off the arm or force massive bleeding.

He was still strong and fast, and he was clearly outnumbered.

Luciel grits his teeth and shines brightly once again.

no. This should be seen as burning rather than revealing.

She is also reaching her limits now. I was very damaged physically and physically.

Now, this light is being squeezed out to its very last detail.

The damage to the body may be considerable, but there is no time to think about it.

‘I am. A talented person of the empire. A being with a mission to protect the people of the empire from that evil group. I will not allow even one more step to pollute the soil of this empire… !’

―Shaaa!!

As the light becomes brighter, Luciel’s face becomes increasingly pale.

But it never stops. I don’t even back down.

Just forward. from now on. Just take one step and another step.

This is also my romance. The one who holds the sword and protects the empire.

The fate she chose instead of living comfortably as the princess.

I will never betray it. I won’t even turn back!

“Haaa!!”

With desperation, Luciel continued to attack the monster in front of him.

Blood is flowing from the nose. My vision keeps getting blurry.

It feels like I’m going to collapse at any moment. However, you must endure.

‘a little bit. little bit more. Please, at least once is fine, so hit it right… !’

– Stumbled

“Ah… !”

At this important moment, will it end up falling apart like this?

I can’t do it. I can’t… . Not yet, not yet my romance… .

-chin

The body that was falling backwards suddenly stops.

Something unknown is leaning on me.

Solid. reliable. I don’t know why, but it feels comfortable.

“No. Seniors. If you collapse here.”

“What… .”

“Your romance is truly beautiful. So much so that I really want to protect it.”

your romance. beauty. And, I want to protect you.

Those three words clearly remain in Luciel’s fading consciousness.

I wanted to say, but my lips couldn’t move well.

What you see beyond your blurry vision is someone’s trustworthy embrace.

It contains a determination that cannot be expressed in words.

“Deus… Junior?”

“Yes. I am.”

“Why you? wait for a sec. Wait. Me too, I can help… .”

The man’s large hand covers Luciel’s shoulder.

Beyond that, a smiling man shakes his head.

“Why, why… .”

“Because this is my romance.”

“Romance… ?”

Did you also harbor romantic feelings like me?

Others say it makes no sense. That thing that was called foolish and foolish?

“In my fight, no one dies or gets hurt. That’s the romance I dream of.”

Honey, please stay back. That’s enough. I said it was hard.

I find myself nodding my head at the calm but powerful voice.

“… .”

The back of a man moving forward past me.

Luciel looked with blank eyes. For a very, very long time.

*

Actually. Seniors. I don’t have that kind of romance.

There are only oaths that do not help in the fight.

… Still, it was true that I wanted to preserve the romance.

‘also. ‘I knew it would be like this.’

As I said, I know very well about Hoebinghwan.

And in one of those three cases, it is the ‘truth’ that causes all kinds of incidents and accidents.

Something unexpected happens. Something happens that shouldn’t happen.

Otherwise, something that has never happened before will happen.

Like right now.

‘It was strange ever since they said only monsters would come out of the gate.’

Isn’t it all like that? In the early to mid-game, there are miscellaneous mobs for growth.

Afterwards, a fiery thunderbolt full of evil rains down on those who are unwary.

Even the appearance of real enemies that have never been revealed before.

“Who are you?”

Deus tilted his head as he looked at the huge monster standing in front of him.

Looking at the horns on his head, he looks like a devil.

Would you like to check if your prediction is correct?

“Baal?”

The name that immediately comes to mind when you think of the devil. The reason is actually nothing.

In , the final boss was that guy.

“What?! How do you come up with a name for a lower organism? !”

what. Is this correct? Was it really from that branch?

I thought it was a world with no similarities between this and that novel.

This is so helpful! Deus sighed and smiled.

“You bastard!”

That smile seemed to the devil to have the composure of someone who knew a secret.

“Why can’t you just say it! How do you know that name?”

It’s obvious to see what he’s doing. That guy is probably the first boss at best.

It exists to instill tension in people who are gradually becoming accustomed to it.

But that’s it. An ambiguous guy with no reason for existence other than that.

Deus knew this trend very well.

Especially, talking to someone who isn’t even a mid-boss is a waste of time.

“There is no reason to explain to someone who will die soon.”

I was vaguely aware of it when I was possessed.

I don’t know who the main character is, but everything is just beginning.

This means that there will be a tectonic shift that will greatly surprise everyone in the world.

-fault!

That guy is the starting point. That being called the devil.

And as far as Deus knows, the starter doesn’t really give anything special.

Even if you try, you tell the world, ‘Be nervous from now on.’ It just serves as evidence.

To obtain this next information, you must quickly face the next boss.

Just looking at it, I thought, ‘Ah. That bastard is an explanation bug.’ As a guy who does it.

‘Until then, it’s best to skip quickly.’

―Tukwaaang!!

A monster that stood with great force. No, the devil just becomes a shooting star.

The body that soared high into the sky soon falls to the ground.

―Kugugung!

My fists are sore. For the first time, I tried feeding something called Jeongta.

Also to Teacher Tiamat. And I didn’t do this to Luciel either.

To what extent is one’s full concentration possible now? Where is the limit?

A suitable punching bag appeared in front of Deus, who wanted to test it out.

So I swung it without any hesitation. And I pounded as much as I wanted.

‘I think I went in correctly.’

ha. The pain that had built up in my chest is finally going away.

I thought I was going to die from frustration. I don’t know how I tolerated this.

While Deus was smiling with great satisfaction.

“… Cough.”

Where has all the cheerful appearance from a moment ago disappeared?

The devil, who instantly became a rag, struggles through the rubble and gets up.

“Quite… Ugh. It hurts. Is this your best, a lowly creature?”

uh? best? hmm. for now? Deus nods.

Then the devil reveals his fierce spirit.

“Then you should try it too!”

It’s incredible speed that comes from that huge body.

With a roar that sounded like scraping metal, he stabbed Deus with all his might with the spear he was holding.

The force was so strong that the spear blade penetrated all the way to the floor.

―Kwazijic!!

“Deus!”

Luciel, who was barely able to gather himself, screams in surprise.

It’s a hit. It went in properly. Until the last moment, Deus could not escape.

If it were properly pierced by that fearsome spear, nothing in the world would be safe.

No matter how lucky you are, the injury will be so severe that it will be difficult to move.

Or maybe a part of the body was torn off entirely, or his life was long ago… .

“Junior!”

I barely try to move my body, which doesn’t move very well.

The devil says it is pitiful and bursts into laughter at the sight.

Meanwhile, Luciel, who had reached the huge pit, called his name again.

“Deus. Deus… !”

Please just stay alive. Just survive. please. please… .

-Tuk-tuk.

“Yes, senior.”

“… ?”

Am I looking at it wrong?

“Did you call me?”

I saw a frighteningly large spear being struck right in the center of my body.

Such a huge pit. A crater was almost created.

“School uniforms are not worth a penny or two. That’s right.”

Why is that man who is roughly dusting himself off without a scratch?

“Luciel senior.”

“Uh, huh?”

“I’m sorry. It would be better to stay away.”

Luciel, who was staring at Deus blankly, hesitated and then got up! and disappears.

“Um.”

It hurts. If it wasn’t for the first oath, I would have been skewered.

After roughly gathering my numb body here and there, I strengthened my legs.

He became a flash of light and soared into the air, then became a thunderbolt and fell to the ground.
