“Hero… !”

Elena hurriedly came to us and blocked Evelia’s path.

“Sorry. I will apologize on your behalf.”

Over Elena’s shoulder, Evelia’s bewildered expression could be seen even while she was in pain.

“Aaaahhh.”

“Princess, please stay still.”

Evelia, who was struggling in pain, glared at me as if she were going to kill me as soon as she had a moment to spare.

Then he spat out blood and tried to stand up again.

“K, ugh… .”

When I got up again with the spirit to fight, I also picked up my sword. At this moment, all I could think of was how to trample further.

– Sigh!

At that time, Elena slapped Evelia on the cheek.

The sound was so loud that even I was startled.

Evelia froze in an unimaginable situation. Elena grabbed her body and prevented her from moving.

At the same time, his body was slowly healing from the severe wounds caused by my attack.

“Sorry. Hero. I can’t let the princess die.”

I can’t say I’m going to end it there… .

Soon, the wounds on Evelia’s body were almost healed. Elena left her sitting and tried to stand up, but Evelia grabbed her arm.

“Day… Did you betray me, Elena?”

I saved you and you immediately did that? That’s really pretty.

“I am reflecting.”

“Reflection? Are you?”

“How did I bring the warrior? Like the princess, was it possible to bring back the warrior who ran away because he was rude as if he could do anything?”

Evelia, who had no idea that Elena had tried to kidnap me, seemed taken aback by those words.

“I want to protect the kingdom… I shamelessly went to the person who had treated me so carelessly, got down on my knees and begged, and managed to bring him back. But the princess is trying to ruin the kingdom.”

I felt that Elena and Evelia’s thoughts had become very divided since I was gone.

Elena, who was trying to bring me back somehow, kept talking about the safety of the kingdom as her top priority, no matter what her true feelings were.

On the other hand, Evelia wanted to have the power of the Demon King, and tried to use me to obtain it and then betray her. It didn’t seem like there was anything to think about.

If we had to divide right and wrong in this situation, Elena’s side would be slightly more right.

“It’s all over now. princess. Please don’t make it a big deal anymore.”

“… … .”

“It is better for the princess to do nothing. In the future… For the kingdom… … .”

Elena held Evelia’s hand.

Evelia didn’t react at all to him.

“Hero. I’m sorry. Can I take the princess with me?”

Is it okay to send it back like this? I feel like I will be in danger again after I go back.

At that time, someone appeared in front of Elena and Evelia.

“I can’t believe you’re already using this much power. As expected, he is a warrior.”

“Perol… .”

What is that guy doing all of a sudden?

He appeared like a shadow and made a slight gesture, pushed Elena away, grabbed Evelia, and stood in front of me.

“Still, I feel like this is the only time, so I will come forward again.”

“Ugh… .”

Then he started using strange magic on Evelia.

Black magic instantly covered Evelia’s body.

Ferol’s technique that restores strength to a weakened ally. I never thought I would see that disgusting thing again.

“Ugh!”

“Princess!”

Elena immediately threw herself to catch Ferol, but he flew away again.

Ferol then held out his hand to Evelia.

As if to emphasize that it was a choice, he quietly waited for Evelia to move.

“No!”

But Evelia held Ferol’s hand.

Then, the feeling was different from Ferol’s ability that I had seen at other times. This… It feels similar to the power of the devil.

“Haha, the princess’s will is more certain than ever. It might be a more interesting fight.”

Ferol was a being more difficult to deal with than the Demon Lord.

In this way, they gave strength to the demons to fight again after hard-won battles, and by forcing them to fight until death, they often inflicted considerable damage.

I never thought I’d see that being used on Evelia.

“Jealousy is always poison. It is a poison that can be swallowed or spewed out.”

jealousy… . Honestly, that was probably the only reason why Evelia treated me like that.

The woman who thought she was the strongest could not hold the holy sword, and I, who appeared without any foundation, claimed to be a hero and took down the devil with the holy sword.

“Ugh, what is it… .”

Evelia stumbled, clutching her forehead and trembling.

“This is the power of the devil you wanted. Princess.”

“Ugh… .”

“You may be able to defeat the hero. Probably.”

Evelia’s body was torn and blood began to flow. If I stay like that, my body might explode.

“Let’s fight. If you stay still, your body won’t be able to handle it.”

Ferol left his power to Evelia and disappeared.

What did you do?

Evelia eventually couldn’t control her strength and attacked me again.

“Ugh!”

For a moment, I could feel the strong energy I felt the moment I faced the Demon King. In a moment of panic, an arrow flew from next to me and struck Evelia’s body.

“Jihu, let’s fight together this time.”

“Okay.”

There is no reason to refuse Arna’s help.

“Larissa! You should look after Elena first!”

“I understand!”

Larissa flew straight towards the building and ran towards the fallen Elena.

After confirming that, I immediately adjusted my sword.

Then, I broke the arrow stuck in my body and turned to face Evelia, who was glaring at me.

I feel like I have all my strength back.

No, a stronger force than that surrounded Evelia’s body.

“Sister, take the opportunity and attack me.”

“I understand. Be careful.”

I ran right away and swung my sword at Evelia.

The holy sword began to glow. Perhaps it was because Evelia, who struck the swords, felt a power similar to that of a demon lord, but the light of the holy sword began to shine extremely brightly again.

“What happened?”

“Keuuuu… .”

Evelia gritted her teeth, blood dripping from her mouth, and swung her sword vigorously, pushing me away.

that… If I don’t subdue it quickly, I think I’m going to die like that.

I grabbed the medicine bottle in my pocket.

We need to suppress it by somehow preventing it from running amok.

Now I have the blinding potion that Larissa made earlier, the potion that prevents me from using magic, and the one remaining recovery potion.

Disables use of magic and blocks vision. Even if you are injured enough to not die, recovery is sufficient.

good.

The moment I tried to move, Evelia swung her sword at a distance from me.

– Boom!

An invisible sword energy flew out and exploded in front of my feet.

“Ugh!”

As soon as I was attacked, an explosion occurred where Evelia was. Did Arna attack?

Anyway, I ran again while my vision was obscured by the successive explosions.

I threw the medicine bottle in my pocket towards Evelia.

First, I blocked the magic.

As soon as Evelia saw me, she seemed really embarrassed and swung her sword in a panic, and I blinded Evelia one after another.

“Ugh!”

When I hit him so that he couldn’t move the sword he was swinging wildly, one of his arms fell off.

“Huh… . Pfft… .”

There is no time to panic. I held the shining holy sword.

I felt that the Holy Sword desperately wanted Evelia’s power.

You have to stab it.

After a very brief hesitation, I stabbed Evelia in the stomach.

An intense light emitted from the holy sword, and I felt a vibration so strong that it was difficult for me to even hold it.

However, trying not to let go, he held the sword tightly, grabbed Evelia’s struggling neck, and knocked her down.

“Ugh, ahhh, ahhh!”

Evelia’s struggle, screaming in pain, gradually began to stop as if she lost strength.

“Ha… . Really, it’s annoying to the end.”

Evelia opened her eyes and looked at me blankly, breathing heavily.

For Evelia, who fights using magic and a sword, having her arm amputated is a fairly fatal wound. I won’t be able to attack you again with this body.

“Princess!”

And then Elena came running.

When he saw that I was subduing him, he stood next to me and fidgeted.

“Yes, warrior. What happened? Princess… .”

“I don’t know. This was the best.”

It doesn’t seem like he’s dead, so it’s okay.

I woke up, and Elena immediately hugged Evelia.

“Let’s go back.”

The holy sword seemed to have absorbed the power of the demon king in Evelia’s body and was once again emitting dangerous power.

The excessive power in the holy sword gradually weakened over time. I think my current strength will become better as time passes.

Rather, did Ferol give Evelia the power of the devil?

Then maybe the power I recovered with this sword wasn’t all there.

A lot of time passed between the Demon King disappearing and me coming back here.

Maybe that guy already possesses most of the Demon King’s power. What I have is only part of it… .

That guy is calling to me with the power of the Demon King contained in the holy sword.

–

Returned to Hebel Castle.

Evelia fainted and did not wake up.

I stood outside the castle with Arna while I placed her in the castle.

“It was stronger than I thought. I almost got into big trouble.”

Even to Arna, Evelia’s power seemed quite dangerous.

“Not as good as your mother.”

“Well, if it were Mom, we would be dead.”

Arna grinned.

Soon Elena and Larisa, who had brought Evelia with them, came to where we were.

“Thank you for your hard work. Warrior.”

“How about Evelia?”

“You may be unconscious, but you will be okay.”

“Then it’s all over, right? Is it okay to go back?”

I shook my head when Larissa said she wanted to go back quickly.

When I shook my head, Elena looked at me with surprised eyes.

“The end… Are you saying it’s not?”

“The guy who gave Evelia strange powers. I have to find that guy.”

“But the power of the Demon King… .”

“Maybe what we have isn’t everything.”

If you think about it, it was even more so.

There was no way it could have been resolved that easily.

“I will gather all the power he has and destroy him all at once.”

Elena’s face darkened when she heard that it was not the end.

At that time, the gate opened and many soldiers came in.

And between them, a red-haired man wearing a wide-brimmed hat came towards us on horseback.

“Elena, where is Evelia?”

“Sung… You are fainting.”

“Good.”

What’s happening all of a sudden?

He got off his horse and took off his hat to greet me.

“Ah, warrior. Long time no see.”

“Uh… .”

This is “Erdil. Haha, we rarely had a chance to meet separately.”

If it’s Erdil… He was Evelia’s younger brother. I heard that this guy is also having fun.

“First of all, I have some urgent work to do, so I’ll see you later. Eggplant.”

Erdil led the soldiers into the castle.

Elena seems to know this. As I stared, Elena swallowed her saliva and spoke to me.

“The princess is dead.”

“What?”

“The prince will declare that you were killed in battle with a being with the power of the Demon Lord.”

Are you really saying that? … What are you trying to do?

“Please just know that.”

Anyway, I don’t think it’s something I need to get deeply involved in.

Elena entered the castle where Erdil entered.

“Let’s go now. Let’s take a break because we don’t know what else will happen.”

–

Erdil came to the place where Evelia was unconscious.

Due to the fact that the kingdom had to rely on Evelia’s power during the war against the Demon King, it had to endure much of her evil.

Erdil sneered as he looked at Evelia, who was about to meet the miserable Malo.

“This is miserable.”

The wounds all over my body were severe. Several recovery practitioners were there to heal the wound, but a severed arm was noticeable.

I heard that there would be a fierce battle, but if Evelia was to be treated so cruelly, I could only assume that the warrior’s strength was formidable.

“Did you leave one arm behind? The warrior is so merciful.”

However, he also knew what happened between the warrior, Evelia, and Elena.

It could be said that not taking any measures was tantamount to aiding Evelia, but there was nothing that could be done at that moment.

A crazy hunting dog that I had no choice but to show off even if I didn’t like it. Now that the hero has returned and is trying to settle everything, if we think about the future, we must get rid of it as soon as possible.

“You should have done it in moderation.”

Because of Evelia’s presence, it was difficult to receive support from the Kobel Federation this time. Not only that, but the kingdom almost came to an end as it became completely estranged from the warrior.

It was a great mercy to be able to maintain one’s honor despite such responsibility.

Soon Elena came in here.

As soon as she entered, she was captured by the soldiers.

“You were right. Really, it wasn’t a lie to say it was for the kingdom.”

Even so, Elena was only Evelia’s sympathizer and traitor.

“First of all, we will fulfill our promise. Elena.”

Elena remained silent with her mouth closed.

As Erdil gestured, Evelia’s remaining arm was cut off. He then pulled out her tongue.

It makes it impossible to use magic with hands or words. You can only be a living piece of meat that cannot hold a weapon.

“Save your life and die with honor. The royal family has no involvement in his later life. There will be no objection, right?”

“… … Yes.”

Elena lowered her head.

Elena’s final goal was to protect Evelia, who had become like this.

But Erdil had different thoughts.

Evelia became as good as dead.

Once this is over, the warrior will never come here again, and there is no need to worry about the wizard who left on his own.

I thought that once the saints were cleared out, the kingdom would be able to rise above its past.

“Elena, let me think about your disposition. Please tell the hero to see you again.”
