After many battles, we finally arrived at the castle where the Demon King was.

The party members were caught up in tension ahead of the Devil’s Castle, but their eyes never died.

The only thing I could see was his intention to kill the Demon King.

Unlike in the beginning, I couldn’t help but smile as I saw the growth of the party members.

“Let’s go in.”

So we entered the devil’s castle, which could be said to be the end of this journey.

Inside the Demon King’s castle, there was a demon sitting on a prince.

Living with pressure that is on a different level from the demons I have seen so far.

The demon was the demon king.

The party members immediately prepared for battle.

When a collision is so imminent.

The Demon King’s eyes turned to me.

Eat.

The Demon King smiled mysteriously as if he was looking at me, then turned his attention to the party members again.

I shouted it like that.

“Come. You foolish humans. I will show you the end of the apocalypse.”

At the same time, a huge feeling of pressure fell on the party members.

I watched the fight between the party members and the Demon King, overcome by an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

***

The fight between the party members and the Demon King ended after almost a day.

The Demon King, as his name suggests, was very powerful.

He was so strong that it would be rude to compare him to the demons he had fought so far.

The party members had to face a crisis they had never felt before.

However, they are also people who have gained a lot of experience.

We were not pushed back by the Demon King, and as a result, we achieved victory.

A hero’s party rejoicing after catching the demon lord.

Although they had many wounds, they were clearly victors, heroes who overcame hardship and adversity to save humanity.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I said looking at them.

Accordingly, the eyes of the party members turned to me, and they chattered at me.

He started telling me ordinary things, like saying that we should be happy together as soon as we went through a hard time together, and then talking about what he was going to do when he got back.

I smiled.

Did I intuit something?

The faces of the party members hardened slightly.

I said my last goodbye to them.

“You are heroes who will not change no matter what anyone says. We were victorious over the devil and survived this long and arduous journey. So live with confidence. Even though we were only together for a year, it was fun. Because thanks to you, I was able to remember my old colleagues.”

Party members show anxiety in their eyes.

I left a final greeting to those who were about to say something.

“Really, thank you for your hard work’

At the same time, light erupted around me.

Pure white light, like looking at brilliant and beautiful starlight.

Soon, a pure white light washed over me.

My vision was transformed.

***

The place where Yucheon left.

Instead of being happy, the party members were confused when they saw Yucheon disappear.

“Uh… ”

“What, what is it?”

“… What happened… ?”

“… ”

Everyone was so shocked by Yucheon’s disappearance that they couldn’t even utter the right words.

Because it was that shocking.

To them, Yucheon was their spiritual support and leader.

Even though he did not participate in the battle, he helped them grow so that they could advance to the Demonic Realm.

It helped me a lot while I was traveling.

Staying up all night was basic so that I could sleep comfortably, and they took care of all aspects of my meals, rest, and treatment.

In addition, it is a hero party that was able to advance into the Demonic World and grow because it developed what could be considered the most important part of the military.

In fact, his role was so great that his stake in catching the Demon King exceeded 90%.

All of the party members received a favor from him that could not be expressed in words, and they were also grateful to him.

And after this journey was over, I wanted to repay it somehow.

He suddenly disappeared, saying goodbye.

Among the party members who couldn’t understand the situation.

Lien, the only wizard who could guess the situation to some extent, spoke.

“… Could it be that Yucheon was sent by the goddess?”

The party members’ eyes turned to Lien.

In particular, the gazes of the warrior and the saint were particularly intense.

“Why do you think that?”

“On what basis?”

Lien spoke urgently as his eyes looked like they were going to kill him if he didn’t say something right away.

“Well, it’s strange when I think about it now. They showed up right away, trained us, and took care of us all during our one-year journey. Honestly, who thinks that’s possible? doesn’t exist. Just not there at all. In this case, it must be considered that they are not human. You can tell if you think about the words spoken and the surrounding light when it finally disappeared. Yucheon was sent by the goddess for us, and from the beginning, he intended to leave after the journey was over.”

Eri laid it out logically.

But she, too, was not in a good mood.

Although I was a bit resistant at first, I received a lot of help from him during my one year journey.

Although she is also sad to leave someone like that like this.

It was something that could not be helped.

‘Just because it can be prevented doesn’t mean it can be prevented.’

If the goddess sent the warrior party, she would originally be a heavenly being.

It was obvious that if someone like that was kept in the underworld, the rules would be broken.

‘Maybe that’s why he doesn’t participate in battle.’

She has ascended to many levels and realized the laws of this world to some extent.

Therefore, I knew how dangerous it would be for someone who was not from the underworld to come here and exert influence.

‘Of course, just by helping us, you’ve already had a lot of influence.’

Since he did not take action himself, the law was not broken.

Although it’s a bit unstable right now.

‘Still, it’s a shame.’

Although I understand.

No matter what, it was sad to leave someone who could be considered a benefactor after holding it for about a year.

“So now… ”

Lien, who was about to give up, was momentarily shocked.

That’s because the appearance of the hero and the saint was quite scary.

The saint looked up at the sky, prayed with deathly eyes, and mumbled like a crazy person.

The warrior looked at the ground and muttered absently, like a person whose soul had left him.

“No… no… no… There’s no way you’re leaving us… Turn it off for a moment… I guess it’s something like that. Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense… I guess it’s something like that… Say yes… !”

“Yucheon… Yucheon… Yucheon… Yucheon… Where did you go… ? i miss you… Please come back… I’ll do anything… I’ll do anything you tell me to do… Please come back… ”

The sight of the two people steeped in madness made Lien feel so bizarre that he got goosebumps.

The warrior and elf who were with them were also startled by the sight of the two.

Lien shivered at the sight of the two for the first time.

‘… ‘What the hell?’

No matter how much I have built up a lot of affection during my one year journey.

Lien could never have imagined that simply leaving would ruin her to that extent.

Right now, the warrior, her, and the elves are all sad.

Because it wasn’t that crazy.

She thought back to the past day wondering why the two were like that and was able to find the reason.

‘Now that I think about it, the saint and the warrior especially relied on Yucheon.’

Among the party members, there were two who had the most mental difficulties.

The saint healed the party members through countless bouts of exhaustion, while the warrior’s spirit collapsed from endless helplessness and self-blame.

It was the same for them too, but it was especially severe for the warriors.

Because of this, the two tended to rely more on Yuchun, who could be said to be the spiritual leader of the party.

Even if that were the case, I wondered if it would be like this.

‘It was like this.’

Lien realized that the two of them depended on Yuchun more than she thought.

And if you leave it like that, it’s clear that an accident will happen later.

Lien wondered if there was any way, but nothing came to mind.

‘no. There is one way.’

Actually, there was the easiest way.

All we had to do was bring back Yoochun, the culprit who went crazy.

‘But there’s no way that’s possible.’

If the goddess wants to bring the person she sent, there is no way she can bring him.

I don’t know how to bring him in, and even if I could, there’s no way it would be easy.

As I said before, there are laws in this world, and if a being from the heavenly world, rather than a being from the lower world, stays in the lower world for a long time, the laws become distorted.

‘I saved the world, but I can’t let it happen again.’

But if I explain this, will those two actually listen?

Lien thought that could never happen.

Looking at the two of them now, they probably seemed like they were going to drag Yucheon away somehow.

‘under… What’s going on… ‘

Finally, the whole journey is over.

I thought there would only be peaceful daily life from now on.

Lien wanted to cry in a situation where she felt like she couldn’t live a normal life, let alone live a peaceful life.
