god.

Or those called immortals.

What is their identity?

Everyone is destined to die.

Even humans have short lives.

Elves also live long lives.

Even those born with strong bodies are destined to end their lives someday.

Even the dragon, the supreme being, falls into eternal sleep after a long time has passed.

But he is not God.

They are those who go against reincarnation.

They are not living beings, they are existing, and nothing can interfere with them.

But even they had one limitation.

Immortals cannot interfere with the mortal world.

This is a story that has appeared several times in novels.

There are only two immortals in this dimension.

Goddess and the Drinker.

If they could intervene in the world, this place would have become even more of a mess.

But since he could not intervene, he simply scattered some of his power over the ground to expand his influence.

At least that’s what I thought so far.

Until now, that is.

“How did Mashin…come to this world..”

I stared blankly at it and muttered.

A being whose entire body is covered in darkness, and whose form cannot be clearly identified.

It was making a strange laughter, as if it was mocking us.

“Kiddukkiduk. Are you curious about how I came down?”

A strange voice that makes you feel uncomfortable just by hearing it.

As soon as it reached out its hand, black thorns began to pour down from the sky like rain.

“It’s no fun if I tell you right away, so guess once!!”

Black thorns flying towards us at high speed.

But when Marie raised both her hands, a huge magic circle appeared above us and blocked all the pouring black rain.

“..Did you drink it?”

Athena looked up at it in the sky, her sword in hand.

It had a strange appearance. However, Athena maintained an indifferent expression as if nothing had happened.

“Then if I just kill that thing, it’s all over?”

Athena’s sword began to shine brightly like a sun.

Then he came up to me, gave me a quick kiss on the forehead, and smiled faintly.

“I’ll be back, master.”

My heart sank at her words.

It wasn’t because I kissed her on the forehead.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the shameful title of master.

The voice she just gave me.

breathing.

She may have tried to hide it as much as possible, but she can’t hide it from me.

Athena’s breathing was a little, no, a lot rougher.

*

“Tsk.”

Not good.

Even though I was only emitting black smoke, I was gradually losing my breath.

Looking around, I saw that other people also had tired expressions on their faces.

It can’t be helped.

Even if it’s the lowest level, a demon is a demon.

Those with strength and magical powers dozens of times greater than those of humans.

With less than 10 people, they easily dealt with thousands of demons in a short period of time. How could they not get tired?

The saint healed everyone’s injuries, but there was nothing they could do about their stamina slowly deteriorating.

But they must fight. For the peace Hera so desperately desired.

He kicked the ground and flew towards the demon, swinging his sword.

Boom-!

“Ah. That’s too bad~”

But it will only be blocked by a shield made up of layers of thorns.

Soon after, Masin’s counterattack came.

A fist so large that it cannot be seen at a glance.

It suddenly appeared from the sky and landed on me.

“Ugh!”

A groan escaped my lips at the great shock.

Masin was giggling, perhaps because he found his own appearance funny.

“They said he was the strongest hero. He’s nothing special, right?”

“You’re also a sloppy person for a grand name like Masin.”

A provocation passed in reverse.

But even then, Masin just smiled like a little child.

It was okay if the provocation didn’t work.

After all, all he was trying to do was buy time.

“Die.”

“Die.”

Lily and Arbes appeared behind Masin in an instant.

They simultaneously swung their swords with all their might towards the demon.

When Lily’s Holy Sword and Arbes’ Magic Sword reach the Demon God.

Kiiing-!

Black and white light coexisted, and an unprecedented explosion began to engulf the machine.

A blow that would have left no trace on an ordinary mine.

As if it didn’t end there, the sky shook and a strong thunderbolt struck the demon’s head directly.

As we follow Mana’s trail, all we see is Mari with a tired expression.

She let out a ragged breath, then collapsed to the ground.

“Maria!!”

Hera hurriedly approached Marie and supported her.

“Hehehe..Mom..”

Although she looked tired, she was smiling happily in Hera’s arms.

He was such a consistently gloomy little kid.

I turned my head and looked at the traces of the explosion.

A powerful blow that leaves no guarantee that even the attacker will be safe.

“Profit! It hurts!! It hurts!!”

But unfortunately, Masin was still alive and well.

Although his entire body was torn apart, the wounds healed in an instant.

“…If only I had enough strength.”

In the meantime, let’s kick the bucket.

I felt something flying behind me.

Normally, I would have reacted and blocked it right away, but my body was so exhausted that I couldn’t react properly.

Phew-

A sharp thorn that sticks straight into your back.

Within a moment, the thorn moved sharply and then slammed itself hard into the ground.

“Ugh..!”

He vomited a handful of blood from his mouth.

A body that is gradually losing strength.

It wasn’t just me.

Lily, Arbes, and the others including them were all unable to put up much resistance to the demon.

In such a miserable sight, Hera’s eyes began to tremble.

“Ah…no…”

As a teardrop fell from her ruby eyes, which were shaking violently, I felt as if my heart was being torn apart.

‘…Wake up.’

Didn’t you swear to yourself that you would never let Hera cry again?

I dragged my tired body and took up the sword in my hand again. When I raised my head, there was the demon looking down at us as if he found it amusing.

“Let’s see how long you can smile like that.”

I slowly closed my eyes and burned my heart with magic.

Heat rising from the body along with the pungent taste of blood.

I turned my head to the side and looked at Lily staggering on the other side.

“Little one.”

He looked at her and held out his hand.

Their eyes met, and Lily nodded as if she knew what he meant.

And then Lily picked up her holy sword.

Sent it my way.

The holy sword settled into his hand. At the same time, an unbearable weight began to weigh down his arm.

The pain felt like my arm was being torn off.

But he gritted his teeth and gripped the holy sword even tighter.

“Damn goddess..If you won’t help me, at least give me the holy sword.”

Did his words reach the goddess?

The holy sword slowly begins to become lighter.

For a moment, I stared at the holy sword vibrating in my hand with complete comfort.

“Huh? What is it?”

The voice of the demon comes from above.

But unlike before, when his voice was full of playfulness, there was a hint of embarrassment in it.

He kicked the ground with all his might and flew towards her.

“Huh? Wait?”

The voice of the demon was now filled with confusion.

Hold the holy sword firmly with both hands.

I used all my might to cut down the demon.

wickedness-

It wasn’t a huge explosion, nor a sharp wind noise.

A very small sound, like the hem of a piece of clothing brushing against something.

That’s the end of the sound.

The demon and his countless stems were all split in half.

“Kkeuhaaak..”

A demon writhing in pain.

He immediately swung his sword again and cut his body in half.

“It hurts!!!”

One more time.

“Kyaak!”

One more time.

I cut down the drinks as my physical strength led me.

“Ugh…gasp..”

He swung his sword until he couldn’t even move his fingers, and then he landed on the ground again.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly raised his head and looked at the place where the drink had been.

It was clear that the Holy Sword had had an effect, as the demon was visibly distressed.

“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

“Then why don’t you just die?”

“It hurts..you know? Kick kick.”

I frowned at her laughter, which seemed out of place in the situation.

“You know what? I didn’t come down here to kill you. No, you shouldn’t die.”

“…..What?”

Her words are incomprehensible.

“No way. I gave up my power. You want me to just kill you and be done with it?”

Masin continued speaking with a huge smile on his face.

“You guys have to keep living. With an unbearable anger in your heart.”

“What are you talking about?”

My body trembled in shock at Masin’s words.

My instincts were telling me.

You have to get up right now.

Get up right now.

I have to go to Hera.

“From the moment you brought that kid here. You were a mess.”

With that, Masin concludes his speech.

“Mom!!!”

Marie’s screams could be heard from the other side.

I felt as if my heart was sinking.

Let’s turn our creaking heads back.

He saw the figure of Hera, whom he loved more than his own life.

“Heh… Hera…”

An unbelievable reality was unfolding before my eyes.

Hera’s left breast.

Near the heart, to be exact.

A sharp thorn was deeply embedded.

Kick kick.
