by fnovelpiaThe warrior raised his head.
His blood-stained face was full of despair. He collapsed before the overwhelming power gap. However, he was not a person who would be discouraged by Durin’s strength.
“Ah, the devil… There is no future to draw… ”
Worry about the human world losing its hero. He had a great love for the world in which he was born and raised. That’s why I couldn’t accept my broken self. I tried to struggle a little more.
“I am a guardian. I will never die here like this… Yes.”
Even though his broken body was screaming, his eyes were still alive. It growled as if it was going to swing its sword at any moment, but there was no threat. The missing arm and the broken sword were not relics that could be returned solely by the warrior’s will. Moreover, the voice of heaven that supported him could not properly reach here in the demon world.
“Even if you are betrayed by the devil, even if you are abandoned by heaven, you will not let go until the end.”
It wasn’t a mockery. Durin was truly impressed. He truly looked like humanity’s strongest warrior. At first glance, the figure carrying out his duties as a guardian looked similar to himself carrying the demon world.
“I will be honest. I won’t let you die.”
“Cough! Well, what does that mean… .”
“It means that I was of use to you. Become the cornerstone for the demon world.”
“Bullshit.”
Kael cut off Durin’s words with a single cut. He burned the last one. Almost all of the scattered divine power was squeezed out, sparking speculation. Using the warrior’s body as firewood, the burning flames flickered from his broken body.
“I will never give it away. None of that!”
Handing over the body of a warrior to the demon world. I clenched my teeth as if I was going to stop that. Even while my whole body was on fire, I glared at Durin. Even though death loomed before his eyes, Kael’s will shined even brighter. The broken body was regenerated by divine power, and the cracked voice returned.
At least the last of Kael was able to maintain his body as a warrior rather than a corpse.
“Are you talking about your colleagues who can be saved?”
If it weren’t for Durin’s indifferent words, his honor would have been reduced to ashes.
colleague. That one word shook Kael’s heart. The feelings hidden beneath the duty he had to bear as a warrior and the noble belief that he was the protector of humanity bloomed in his heart. Ailee’s last appearance passing by like a flash of light.
Anger rose up. I couldn’t hold back my anger when the person who crashed the party said something like that. The moment I keenly felt my own inadequacy in being unable to punish him, the overflowing self-hatred was twisted and expressed.
“You’d better shut your mouth. It’s not a name you can say carelessly.”
“The momentum is still good. Among the losers, you will be recorded as the bravest.”
“Durin!”
“Death in battle is inevitable. The moment you fail to defeat me, the result is decided. However, as a winner, I am giving you a chance. Warrior.”
“Opportunity?”
“Yes. opportunity. It is also the only chance to turn the whole situation back to how it was before meeting me.”
“… … .”
“If you are thinking about saving your life here, I will teach you how to save all your comrades. I will help you regain your honor, which has been forgotten in the human world.”
A terrible sound like scraping metal came from the black armor. The devil’s whispers, which I would normally have hated, came to me like sweet fruit.
“Can it be saved?”
“She can return to you without using any means, while still retaining her human form. As the Great Devil, I guarantee this.”
As the body touched by the flames gradually disappeared, my mind became more complicated. Memories that had been hidden somewhere in my memory from a long time ago began to resurface.
-Kael. We’re going on a trip together.
It reminds me of a wizard who died with a broken neck. We were colleagues who were born in the same village and went on a trip together. I had promised her a beautiful end as a member of the warrior party. I have never thought of being as miserable as I am now.
“Don’t be funny. Don’t be fooled by the devil.”
A black shadow passes by and the blue world tree passes by. An elf I met there was smiling.
The name… okay. Elijah. A noble bloodline that gave up the elven laurel crown and came out. Although his personal combat skills were not outstanding, he always radiated bright energy and was in charge of the atmosphere of the party… .
“Never to the devil… .”
In consciousness moving away. The laughter of a boisterous dwarf warrior was heard in the disappearing world of consciousness. He was extending his hand to the warrior. He boasted that he would stay by his side until the end no matter what. That was the duty of brothers… .
“Clause… As.”
My eyes close. My body, pushed to its limit, could no longer hold out. The divine power that sparkled for a split second was also the last. The warrior eventually lowered his head. The burning power also died down. It was still radiating a subtle heat, but it was a flame that would not last long.
“A hero who was devoured by a simple illusion… . This too would be worth recording in history in its own way.”
Durin, who had been quietly watching Kael, stood up.
“You didn’t have a choice in the first place. Whether you like it or not, you will participate in my plan.”
The devil smiled. Red demonic energy rose like a haze next to him. The weakened body of a warrior was a desirable prey. There was no divine power left in Kael’s body until the very end. Even when Durin placed his hand on his body, there was no objection.
Pasig-
Red magic flowed into the hero. The body that was only breathing thanks to the divine power squeezed out, greedily devouring the new energy. My instinct to live in my subconscious was struggling. Durin gave everything without adding or subtracting.
It opened up new possibilities for the warrior to see in the demon world.
chuck! chuck! chuck!
“Your Excellency.”
As he finished his work, the Golden Guard was approaching and bowing before he knew it. They were guarding the area around the broken temple, waiting for Durin’s orders.
“The devil has left. The mission given to you is an indefinite suspension.”
“Then we will follow you. Regent.”
“It’s time to raise a useless example, so hurry up and sort out the warrior party. It doesn’t matter whether the living or the dead.”
“Are you planning on taking me to the castle?”
The senior soldier asked. In addition to their aversion to the heroes, they seemed to be worried about the backlash and confusion that would erupt if they were brought to the center.
“I will make a contract with the warrior. Since I haven’t worked out the details yet, please stay at my accommodation until your body recovers.”
“What should the rest of the party do?”
“Similarly, put him in one room with the hero. If you manage it separately, you will die at the hand of a blind devil.”
“I will do as instructed.”
Although he has doubts, he answers with movement. The Golden Guard carried out orders without saying a word.
A broken wizard, a split elf, an unconscious warrior, a fallen dwarf.
Every piece of the party was lifted up by the demon soldiers. They will wait for the next time.
“Your Excellency. We will leave as soon as we are ready.”
Now there is only one thing left. Clearance throughout the South.
It was time to return to his legions guarding the path leading to the rocky mountain.
#
“… It was clearly rejected just now.”
The aftermath of the battle swept through the South. Although we were camped about three days away on foot from the rocky mountain, we could feel the magnificent waves with our skin.
The power of a true king who rules the demon world.
The fighting spirit unleashed by the strongest devil standing against him.
The unpleasant energy of the warrior mixed in here and there.
Born and raised in the south, Verdia was confident that he would become a great warrior, but for the first time, he was suffocated. Even when I competed with my father, the warchief, it wasn’t like this. It was not just pressure, but the power to bring out the obedience that naturally came from within.
Some people were already pounding their heads into the ground with excitement. The soldiers’ spirit of victory soared to the sky. Even late nights didn’t stop them.
The king left. The remnants of the long warp that left traces in the sky were laughing at them, but it didn’t matter.
A new demon was already filling their hearts. The departed loyalty took the right direction.
The image of the regent fighting against the devil and the warrior without hesitation was depicted.
This powerful red energy that I could feel even though I could not see it directly told me who was standing on the final battlefield.
The bitch who ran away will no longer lead them.
“General! I can’t wait to get out! I will break my formation and cut off that traitor’s head!”
“The regent will be back soon, so is it okay for us to stay like this!”
“Wow! Wow! I will kill them all!”
The Dullahans protested, pounding on their armor. He was ready to run to the battlefield at any moment, holding the red-hot halberd.
“Wait a minute. It only takes a moment. Wait.”
But Verdia was a commander. Her whole body was anxious, too, and she wanted to cut with an axe, but her position overtook her instinct. A duty that Durin emphasizes over and over again. It kept my head cold.
The number is “8000. You can’t push ahead carelessly.”
“You also say that it is a judgment. Barbarian Verdia.”
“I don’t just sit back and watch like you do. Aurela the coward.”
Verdia glared at the governor who was waiting quietly. While everyone was shouting for war, she was alone and relaxed. I don’t know how she could stay still while receiving such powerful energy, but one thing is certain: she was able to make more rational decisions than Verdia.
That’s why, even though I spat out sharp words, I didn’t cross the line any further. Verdia did not want to cause unnecessary trouble until the next order came. The governor seemed to have looked into his heart and let out a chuckle.
“You let go of my hand. I’m just holding on to the reins for a while.”
“Rein? After all, I am the one who calms them down.”
“Are there only soldiers in the world? I’m in charge of all the southern nobles and commander-level warriors. You definitely forgot, right?”
“… … .”
Actually, I was so out of my mind that I forgot about it for a moment. Because he didn’t want to say this out loud, Verdia responded in silence. Aurela stood up from her seat with characteristic ease.
“But it seems like the time is coming. I think I need to prepare.”
“Ready?”
“Yes. You can’t leave this heat alone.”
“Ha, but until His Excellency comes… .”
“So, we need to open the way in a more grand manner. We are here to take over the southern part of the country. I didn’t come to see the regent.”
So saying, the governor went out of the barracks. Hundreds of troops had already gathered there.
They were soldiers with names other than the lost king engraved on their hearts. A mixture of tension and excitement made the tip of the spear tremble. Aurela raised her voice in front of them.
“Brother of the castle! Sisters! The time has finally come! This is the moment to crush all those who try to take everything from us!”
As the commander of the expeditionary force, she looked at her soldiers and shouted:
“Legion! What do we fight for?”
“Honor!!”
“What is honor! We have lost our king. Who on earth are you protecting your honor for?”
“Durin! For our new master!”
“Yes! Let us fight for you! We must cut off the enemy’s supply and demand!”
“Kill it!! Kill it!! Kill them all!!”
The soldiers’ response grew louder. The devil’s instinct completely consumed them. All warriors, regardless of race or origin, beat their weapons.
“Yes! Shout louder. That’s what the great warrior watching over us wants! Trample them!”
Kill it!!
At the governor’s shout, the legions pounded their shields and screamed. His golden eyes shined and he freely unleashed his fire-like fighting spirit. He revealed his true form as a devil and burned all his previous humiliating memories.
Aurela secretly looked at the sky. The governor, guessing that the time had come, pulled a sword from his belt.
“The Regent is with us!”
The moment she screamed, the eerie magical energy spread across the earth, creating a strong shock. It was a sound. Hearts beat to follow their new conqueror who would restore honor to the Legion.
Dark night. Feel the power of Durin. Southern rebels waiting for death on the other side. The voice that flowed against the backdrop of all these scenes woke everyone up.
“To the position of all troops.”
“Charge!!”
Accompanied by Aurela’s spear, the expeditionary force rushed towards the enemy.
“Do-lin!! My ruler!!”
“Aaaaa!!”
