Thanks to continuing to pressure him, who was already exhausted, I was able to get an answer.

It’s like he somehow saved his life by sacrificing something important to him.

I don’t know what kind of ability he used, but it was a pretty plausible story, so everyone seemed to believe him for the time being.

Of course, it would not have been possible to heal such a wound without any cost.

But, for now, I believe it. No one believed it completely.

‘Huh, lie.’

Among the curses that the warrior possesses, the curse of distortion.

This curse causes the person speaking the truth to interpret it incorrectly.

‘There must have been some trickery involved. It was something that was revealed inevitably due to an unexpected incident.’

That is why the saint had no choice but to think that way at the time.

Actually, the battle back then was quite thrilling.

What if there was another party member in the place where the warrior was?

What if the Minotaur had chosen to charge instead of swinging its axe?

It was an event that could have resulted in an even more serious disaster.

If Camilla or Lily had been the target, it would have been an instant death.

In other words, it can be seen that he drove his team members to their deaths with one wrong plan.

So while some of his explanations were understandable, no party member completely trusted them.

The only reason I trusted him was because he actually looked sick.

“Cluck! Cluck!”

After being split in half by the Minotaur.

His condition had noticeably worsened. He looked strangely gaunt and had dark circles under his eyes.

The warrior who was supposed to be stronger than anyone else suddenly became unwell.

At that time, the saint looked at him and thought this.

‘Huh, so there was actually a price to pay?’

Looking at how gaunt he is.

‘But I still can’t let my guard down. I don’t know when or where he’ll strike.’

In any case, since he had already had one failed operation, it was inevitable that his speaking power would diminish.

However, there have been fewer cases of people attacking him for no good reason like before.

However, the party members were not so vicious that they would blindly criticize someone who looked sick.

Above all, since he has already entered the palace, he cannot be sent back even if he wants to.

If you get caught hanging around the Demon King’s Castle, it won’t be a big deal.

So let’s leave it for now.

The party members seemed to have taken that stance. They were isolated, not bothering anyone, but not showing any favor either.

The saintess thought to herself, looking at him warily.

No, maybe everyone in the party has thought this at least once.

When does a warrior betray most effectively?

The place where they were currently was inside King Chung’s palace.

In other words, there is no better time to show your true self.

Every single action could lead us to death.

And the best timing of all.

‘If I were to betray, it would be best to do so when fighting the Four Heavenly Kings.’

I thought that might be the only time.

The fight against the Four Heavenly Kings will surely be more intense than ever.

He will also reveal his true feelings then.

Still, the saint was confident. It wasn’t a confidence that arose from mere arrogance.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, the Insect King Balkan is particularly good at divine power.

The magic he uses is black magic, and among them, he uses something extremely special called insect magic.

Perhaps, even if his divine power touches him just a little, he will run away like a moth to a flame.

So to speak, she and King Chung could be said to be polar opposites.

So I’m confident, even if he betrays me.

So the journey continued.

Wandering through the maze-like palace, you head towards the residence of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Of course, it was unavoidable to encounter bugs along the way.

“Ouch! There’s a swarm of cockroaches!”

“Oh, Saintess. It’s bad if you scream like that every time you meet a bug. What are you going to do when you have to deal with it later?”

“Be quiet, warrior. We’ll take care of it ourselves.”

“······.”

It was quite disgusting and disgusting, but I was able to adapt to it as time passed.

Although the warrior occasionally voiced his opinion, most of it was ignored.

He already had a history of putting the entire party at risk with the Minotaur thing.

“Cluck! Cluck!”

As we continued our exploration in this way, the time for the final battle arrived.

“The cowardly rats have come to my place.”

A few days in the palace.

Finally, our existence was discovered by King Chungwang Balkan.

《Tsk, I feel bad that the goddess’s seed came in without permission, but this is a good thing. I will gladly use you as food for my children.》

An eerie sound echoed throughout the palace, and changes occurred in the surrounding environment.

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

The passage was blocked and insects swarmed in from all directions.

Ticks, scorpions, locusts, cockroaches, etc.

Numerous poisonous insects and pests surrounded the area, blocking the party members’ path.

As if to block the steps towards the king.

“Eek! A swarm of bugs came out!”

“Everyone, prepare for battle! Charge ahead! Run at full speed to the throne room where the bastard is!!”

Still, I gave it my all.

He opened the path by cutting down, burning, and purifying the insects flying nearby with his divine power.

If there was a blocked path, he broke it down with physical force, and defended against flying insects with the wizard’s barrier.

The only target is the guy’s neck.

Until this point, the saint was confident.

Even though it was disgusting, his own divine power was definitely working, and he still had more than enough divine power left.

Yet, he didn’t miss paying attention to the warrior, Luke.

Surely, one day, I will arrive before King Chung and demand his life.

But this determination gradually dissipated as time passed and the battle became prolonged.

Her power was overwhelming, but so was her opponent’s legion.

No matter how much I killed, the bugs just kept coming out.

“Haa··· Haa··· Damn, what the hell, these bugs are endless!”

“Come on, stop it!”

“This is a special entity. Focus, everyone.”

In addition, the further you go inside, the stronger and more special bugs appear.

It was natural that the difficulty would increase.

“You’re holding up pretty well. But, it looks like there’s not much left. ”

In the end, there were victims in the middle.

“Ugh···.”

“Lily?”

The magician of the team who was preparing magic eventually collapsed.

The cause was exhaustion.

Constant running, mental concentration required to prepare magic, and poisons spraying from all directions.

All of this was constantly bothering her, so she seemed to be exhausted.

With his relatively weak stamina, he was able to cast magic while running. In a way, it was an expected result.

And as a result, the party quickly became dangerous.

The disappearance of the bomber that had been continuously sweeping away the bugs left a huge hole in the team.

“Lily, wake up! Aaah, what do I do?”

“Give it to me. I’ll run on my stomach. Camilla’s going to be busy swinging her sword.”

From then on, the bugs’ attacks became fierce. Even if I cut them down, purified them with my holy power, and shot them with arrows, the bugs would still come at me.

As soon as one person was eliminated, the next person was quickly eliminated.

“Coolook···.”

Next, Camilla, who was in the front line, collapsed from poison.

“Ugh!”

Then Adele was hit in the body by a special entity and flew far away.

It was not long before they were swarmed by bugs as they fell to the floor.

Square, square.

A creepy sound, like insects biting flesh, wafts through the air.

She was quite confused by this situation.

‘How on earth···.’

what?

Of course, there were no mistakes in the battle itself. Everyone did their part, and it was true that their power was extremely superior to the insects.

But why did the result turn out like this?

All of the party members were knocked down by the bugs, and why was he left alone among tens of millions of bugs?

The reason was simple.

This is because there were more bugs in the palace than one could imagine. They were so overwhelming that they could easily ignore things like one’s own sexual power.

Square, square, square, square.

A creepy sound, like bugs crawling on the walls, continued to echo.

Spicy bugs were approaching in real time from all directions, front, back, sides.

“Hi, eek.”

The sight was so horrifying that her face turned blue.

The other party members who fell to the ground were already covered in bugs.

And she could easily guess that it wouldn’t be long before she too would end up in a similar situation.

She had prepared herself for it, but the ending was even more horrifying than she had expected, and her legs began to tremble.

That was when.

chuck.

And someone grabbed him by the waist.

She looked to the side, making a dumbfounded sound.

“Huh?”

There was a warrior there.

The warrior who spread more sins than anyone else. Every time I saw him, my instincts would ring the alarm bell.

The warrior that everyone in the party thought was the mastermind.

Ironically, he remained by her side until the end.

He was frowning ominously, holding his side.

“Tsk, if you had listened to what I was saying, this wouldn’t have happened. Damn···.”

It was as if he didn’t like the situation itself. Instead of his usual cheerful smile, his expression was filled with annoyance.

He looked at the saint and said.

“Let’s go again.”

“Yes, yes? Where···.”

“Where is it? I have to go get the King Chung’s balls.”

“But what about the party members···.”

“How do you take care of it in this situation? Since it won’t die right away from the bugs anyway, let’s just leave it alone. Of course, some of its flesh will be eaten away···.”

If you didn’t like that, you should have listened to me from the beginning.

With those mutterings he shot forward.

Pfft!

His body rushed forward as if cutting through the air. The saintess was also dragged along, caught at his side.

The warrior opened his mouth as he took care of the saint.

“From now on, please continuously spray divine power nearby. That’s more important than the buff. Oh, do you have enough divine power? ”

“Yes? Yes. Not yet···.”

“Ha, you always say you’re in pain when I treat you, but luckily, you’re here this time.”

He laughed sarcastically.

It was a complaint she never normally made, but she had no choice but to listen in silence.

First, she scattered her divine power around her as he said.

Like fireflies in the darkness, a shining divine power surrounds the warrior and the saintess.

Insects attracted by the light rushed towards her, but they were unable to get through the curtain of light she had spread and simply fell down.

“I’m going to pick up the pace from now on. Please hold on tight.”

“Oh, I see···.”

From then on, the warrior’s search for the path began.

Trusting the curtain of light burning the surroundings, you jump towards the bugs blocking your way without hesitation.

When he did that, a path opened up and he would run quickly towards it.

The destination is the same as before, the audience room. It is where King Chung resides.

After wandering around like that for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to arrive at the place where King Chungwang resided.

“···Wow.”

A creepy voice, like the scraping of iron, echoes.

Chungwang, Balkan’s voice was composed in a hoarse tone, as if he had vocal nodules.

“As expected, even rotten teeth are a good thing. I guess a warrior is a warrior.”

The guy’s body was not visible, as his entire body was wrapped tightly in a cloak and bandages.

Whether her eyes were covered or not, all she could see when looking at King Chung was a creepy voice and an ominous magic that filled the surroundings.

“You came all the way here, through my children. And after losing your comrades. But you’re still better than the previous warriors.”

Gulp.

She swallowed and reconsidered her resolve.

It’s over if we just catch Chungwang.

If we can just catch it, humanity will become peaceful and we can save our comrades who have been overrun by bugs.

She prepared for battle by raising her power.

Ironically, the only person she could trust, as she had no integrated fighting power, was the warrior she hated so much.

“Yes, now that we’ve come this far, what more is there to say? Come. I will personally show you what despair is.”

“I’ve always disliked you whenever I see you. What good would it do if we fought over something less fucking disgusting?”

And so the battle began.

*

······And let me tell you the result first.

Just as the world doesn’t go as planned even if you eat up your will, it’s hard to change the situation in battle even if everyone reconsiders their resolve.

The reality was terribly disastrous.

Yes, that’s right.

“Coolook!”

“Hero!”

The warrior was defeated.
