A day passed and the day finally came when the Demon King appeared.

Countries around the world, including the Empire, were on alert, and Arien’s party was also preparing to focus on battle immediately.

And Kariel, who was the true protagonist of the current situation and who was about to fight the Demon King, was sitting blankly leaning on a chair.

His location is the front line of the empire.

The monsters that would normally be rampaging had somehow disappeared.

It was a precursor to an unexpected event that would soon occur.

And the precursory phenomenon did not simply stop there.

Kariel turned her gaze to the sky with calm eyes.

At first glance, it was a normal, clear sky.

A sky so clear and bright.

But Kariel didn’t feel that way.

His transcendental senses were catching a gigantic being.

A huge being beyond the sky.

A huge presence that makes you wonder if it can be contained in the lower world.

Having ascended to transcendence, Kariel was able to feel its presence even more clearly.

A terrifying and endless force.

‘Was what I said when we first met true?’

Kariel recalled the first time she met the Demon King.

The devil who called himself the god of darkness.

At the time, my doubts were even bigger, but now that I have reached transcendence, I can see that what he said was not a lie.

It was not a power that an ordinary transcendental person could possess.

It is literally darkness and the abyss itself.

Kariel was extremely scared of having to fight such a being.

He immediately erased those feelings.

I already made up my mind and accepted it.

So what is left?

There was only one.

Defeat the devil and return safely.

It’s more than what you promised your loved one.

Kariel only intended to keep that promise.

It was when I was staring at the sky like that.

Damn it!

The sky began to crack as if it had cracked.

Soon, countless monsters and demons appear in the space that disappeared as if it were breaking apart.

The existence of the devil appears in such a situation.

The ground began to shake violently just by the appearance of that being.

Kariel also did not lose and gained momentum.

The will of the two transcendents collided, and a huge shock wave covered the nearby area.

While the battle was already underway, the Demon King landed on the ground with light steps.

All the monsters and demons that came with him have spread out.

However, Kariel remained unfazed and slowly drew his sword.

A holy sword that emits brighter light than ever before.

It seemed as if he was shouting to destroy existence right before his eyes.

The Demon King’s two red eyes turned to Kariel.

“Is this your first time meeting face to face like this?”

“Okay.”

“You’ve grown a lot. Even back then, I must have been a weak being.”

“I did some hit and run to catch you.”

The Demon King didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting right away.

Kariel continued to fight back with a sense of alertness to the unexpected situation.

The Demon King let out a chuckle as if he found such a sight funny.

“Some interesting things have happened recently. Suddenly, the memory of time turning back came back. Memories of the time you and I had an affair and the memories of that time when we unilaterally killed each other. Warrior, do you know?”

“I know. However, I heard it from someone.”

“You mean you have no memory. Are you okay? I know a lot about you.”

Kariel has no memories of the first and second rounds.

What that means is that I have no memory of fighting the Demon King.

On the other hand, there is data about the Demon King’s fight with him.

It’s hard to win even if you fight without knowing each other, but you know yourself completely.

However, Kariel showed an indifferent attitude towards this.

“It doesn’t matter. Because that too is a fight I must overcome.”

“I see. You are the same now as before.”

After saying that, the Demon King let out an easy laugh.

“I originally planned to take revenge on this world. It was so disgusting to see myself defeated by the goddess and reduced to a mere demon lord. It was truly disgusting. but… In the process, I met a brilliant person.”

Even without being told who that shining person was, Kariel knew.

Because there is only one person who shines according to the devil.

“It was brilliant. Because it was so huge and brilliant that it could be said to be a light possessed by humans. It was like seeing more of the goddess. Personally, I was jealous. However, after going back in time twice, we have met for the third time, so I will also treat you with the utmost courtesy.”

The Demon King extends his hand.

In his hand was a sword made of demonic energy.

It was a sword that radiated vivid anticipation.

“I will only deal with you with the sword. As you may know to some extent, the Demon King basically prefers mid-range combat based on an overwhelming amount of demonic energy. In terms of humans, he would be equivalent to a wizard. But I am different. In the first place, he was born different from those demon lords. Because the time I lived as a god of darkness was not in vain.”

“So what do you want to say?”

“At least in martial arts, it means that it will be superior to all other things. Since the beginning of martial arts was derived from me, it can be seen as better than the miscellaneous powers I have.”

“That sounds like you should not be offended that you only fight with a sword. If that’s true, I feel really bad.”

The Demon King smiles as if Kariel’s thoughts were correct.

“That is true to some extent. In the first place, I am not ignoring you, the hero. In fact, I see it more highly than anyone else. Maybe even more than a goddess.”

Normally, it would have made her feel good, but hearing such words from the Demon King was not very good for Kariel.

“So I drew this sword to give it my all. This is my first time using a sword since I was a goddess, so you can be proud.”

“I’m not happy at all.”

The Demon King acknowledges and shows his full power.

It would be great if only the word “Demon King” was removed, but the moment the Demon King enters, it becomes even more detrimental to Kariel.

but.

“It’s not bad.”

Kariel also has a certain desire to fight against the strong.

I didn’t feel that the devil’s attitude was that unpleasant.

Kariel aimed the holy sword, which constantly emits light, at the Demon King.

Then, an explosive light erupted from him and began to push away the demonic energy emanating from the Demon King.

The Demon King also did not lose, holding the demon sword and aiming it at Kariel.

Light and darkness constantly clash.

Leaving behind the polar energies that are beginning to tangle with each other.

The two rushed at each other without worrying about who would go first.

***

Arien felt a clash of energy in the distance.

The conflict between someone who has the power of the same goddess and someone who has extremely dark power.

As I felt that, I realized that the battle between the Demon King and Kariel had begun.

What that meant was that monsters and demons would begin to invade.

And as soon as I finished thinking, the time of monsters and demons was waiting.

Each of her party members is in charge of a district.

So, she was alone now.

As Arien looked at the crowds of demons and monsters, he remembered what he had said before.

To stop the devil’s army.

But she could see the meaning that existed within it.

I want to avoid causing as many casualties as possible.

Arien also had similar thoughts.

I took a step towards the approaching monsters and demons.

A brilliant light began to spread around her like pollen.

The pattern symbolizing the warrior scattered light, making her stand out even more.

The holy sword appears in the sky along with a huge crack.

Arien has grown a lot in the meantime, and is now able to draw the holy sword.

The true worth of a warrior of light is revealed when he draws the holy sword.

Because he is literally a warrior of light, the effect of the holy sword that corresponds to light is stronger than that of other warriors.

Additionally, the Holy Sword of Light has free will and its performance varies depending on the owner’s mentality and qualifications.

And now Arien’s qualifications are at their highest.

Naturally, the holy sword scattered a more brilliant light than ever before.

Arien looked at the light that had begun to surround her, and then looked directly at the demons that were coming.

The number of demons and monsters is truly overwhelming.

However, Arien was not scared.

Rather, the more there were, the more light they scattered.

Soon she raised her sword.

The light vibrated as if the holy sword responded to her will.

Arien shouted, her eyes flashing.

“Foolish and foolish monsters. This is no place for trash like you. Know the topic quickly-“

She paused, took a breath, and shouted again.

“-Disappear.”

With those words, he swung the holy sword.

The light extending from the holy sword instantly engulfed the approaching monsters and demons.
