Duchess King. I went to him and asked him a favor. They played as many as twenty games of chess. In the end, it was 10 to 10.

King’s mission is to drive Stella to her death. I wonder what kind of crazy hero would rush out without hesitation to a place where 8 demons gathered in the Demon World and started a riot, but Florina was that kind of woman.

If you think about it with common sense, Cheonwoong is much more serious than a few children or ordinary people. Because she is a woman who will save tens or hundreds of thousands of people if she survives.

However, in essence, the job of a hero is done with chivalry, not profit and loss calculation.

I knew that and took advantage of it.

Florina began fighting desperately to buy time for some ordinary people to evacuate. The result was of course defeat. She is completely devastated and is being pushed around helplessly.

I am quietly watching her.

Just as planned.

“Aaagh!”

Stella, who suffered a wound on her side, screams as her vocal cords are torn. Ugh! wait for a sec! But you promised not to kill me!

“Ugh, hmm… Off… !”

Roughly speaking, all the humans in the city – except those who had already crossed the Hwangcheon River – had evacuated. Stella, who noticed this fact, limped and turned around.

To avoid it myself. All that remains is property damage, not casualties. Stella is not foolish enough to risk her life on buildings.

However, she was already foolish enough.

Kwaang-!

“Wow!”

“Where are you running away!”

An energy beam from somewhere struck Stella’s back as she walked into the alley with her arms wrapped around her sides. Stella screamed and fell over. Drops of fresh blood burst out between her parted lips.

Degurrr-.

Stella falls and rolls several times. She fell to the ground, raised her elbows and placed her palms on the floor.

And I tried to get up by strengthening my arms. The result was failure. Her trembling arms did not see the light.

“Uuuu… .”

The golden vortex covering Stella is gradually losing its shine. With her shine gone, she was no longer a special hero.

She moans helplessly, clenching her teeth with her chin on the concrete floor. I couldn’t move anymore.

Her double golden eyes, which shined everywhere and everywhere, were slowly losing their light… .

“… ?”

At that moment, a survivor appeared in Stella’s golden eyes. He was a survivor who had not yet evacuated.

A neat, high nose bridge. Skin as white as jade. Round glasses that give off a somewhat intellectual feel. Elegantly curled black hair. A young man who has all of these things in harmony.

The young man was hiding in the building and watching Stella.

Stella thought.

‘Don’t come out… !’

Better just keep hiding there.

Stella repeated so earnestly. No, I would have repeated it. I read that expression in her eyes. Of course, her voice couldn’t come out of her mouth.

However, the moment Stella’s eyes met, the moment the young man’s eyes twitched downward slightly and looked at Stella’s side.

The young man disappeared from the window.

“No, no… !”

Grumble-.

The door of the half-destroyed building was opened. Soon after, the young man who had disappeared from the window a moment ago appeared through the front door.

He hopped up to Stella and knelt down. Yes, the young man is me. I sweated profusely and tried to stop Stella’s bleeding first. Like a doctor.

“Mr. Stella? Stella!”

In a hurry, he untied the hem of the clothes he was wearing and pressed down on Stella’s affected area. I kept crying out her name with my mouth.

“Mr. Stella! Come to your senses! Stella!”

He put his hands under Stella’s waist and arched her back like a bow. This is to ensure that the affected area is located higher than the heart.

Stella purses her lips with difficulty.

“, Mr. Evans… ! Why are you still in this city? !”

“Don’t say it! You need to conserve your energy!”

“Ugh… Uh, hurry and run away… .”

What kind of nonsense. I was just waiting for this moment.

“You can’t do that.”

“Why… .”

“Stella is fighting for me.”

“… !”

“I will no longer abandon my comrades who fight for me and run away.”

He said it with firm sincerity. It’s not a lie. Even if I’m in danger, I won’t abandon Stella and run away.

It’s been a while since I met a person of ‘salvation’. Do you think I will miss it?

I will shake it off like washing clothes. Do you really deserve salvation?

“Don’t talk nonsense, avoid it quickly… !”

Stella grits her teeth and spits out the words.

“It’s natural for heroes to fight against demons… ! But, you… !”

“Yes, I am an ordinary person. But I told you that once, right? I want to take care of the hero. Now is the time. I will take care of you until the end.”

“… ! Okay, uh… .”

Meanwhile, a demon came down leisurely. With eight demons at his command.

“Cluck cluck… This is truly fun.”

“… .”

Stella gritted her teeth and glared at King, wrapping her motionless arms around her forcibly.

“You’re a trivial and lowly human being, and you’re not afraid to get involved in this situation. That’s funny. It’s also the same.”

King raised his hand.

An ominous demonic energy wavered from the raised hand.

“How dare something so humble.”

“Now, wait! Don’t touch the man!”

Stella, displaying superhuman strength, quickly got up from her seat. She stood in front of me. Blood burst out from the mouth. But Stella did not give in.

“Just me, kill only me… ! That’s okay! Because, as you said, he is a worthless human… !”

“Foot, don’t talk nonsense. Did you humans spare the demons because they were weak?”

Yeah, that’s right. Humans don’t show mercy to weak demons, right? Unless it is an icon of charity, such as a saint from the Holy Church.

I gently pushed Stella to the side. Stella grabbed my sleeve to tell me not to do that, but the wounded and demoralized hero’s strength was extremely weak.

This is the correct development. King stabs me like this, and immediately after, he returns without being able to finish off Stella, saying that he received a call from the Demon King. This is all promised in advance.

“Oh, please. Mr. Evans. do not be like this. Why even you… !”

I wrapped my body around the screaming Stella. This means that he wrapped his arms around her and exposed her back to King, defenseless.

How does King feel now? Does it feel like watching a comedy skit? It doesn’t matter what he thinks. The only thing that matters to me is Stella.

Phew!

“Aaagh!”

“Aaaagh!”

Stella tightens her claws as she holds onto my body. A tearing scream penetrates my eardrums. I feel a burning pain in my back. One side of my stomach is throbbing.

The King’s hand, full of demonic energy, broke my back. Wow, it’s painfully torn. Does this person at least have real feelings? Come on.

He coughed up blood at just the right time and knelt down, resting his chin on Stella’s shoulder. In fact, if you want to recover, you can use demonic energy to heal your body right now. But it doesn’t.

Hehe, Stella, now thrilled, screams in helplessness and at the same time develops a strong crush on me, and if King falls in at the right time, it’s perfect… .

“Ugh!”

what.

“Ugh! Ah, ahhh!”

Wait, there’s something strange about the screaming.

“No. no. no! No way!”

The screams are violent. It is full of unprecedented power.

He senses that King’s expression is unusual and freezes. me too. Stella, who had not been able to properly aim at herself until just now, suddenly stood up.

Surrounding her body, golden vortices waved wildly like limbs.

Quaaang-!

The wave that dominates all things spreads out. An intangible wave that no one can stop is crashing.

King’s mouth quickly opened. He comes to the language of Demon World.

[This… ! Oscar, I’m sorry, but I have to break my promise to you. That’s no ordinary strongman! I can’t save you!]

Put, what a deal.

So you want to kill me?

Do you have the ability to kill?

“… Just a little bit.”

Stella says. In contrast to her sudden surge of power, her voice was shaking like an aspen.

“Please wait a little while. I-I will finish it quickly and take you to the Holy Order, so please, please, just hold on until then… !”

Paang-!

Soon the soles of her feet hit the ground. She disappeared for a moment and without hesitation raised her fist towards the head of one of the demons.

A golden storm engulfed the demon. The demon that was torn to pieces disappeared on the spot without a trace.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!

“… … … !”

It’s a shock. Even me.

A person who uses the crisis of a precious person, that is, altruism for others, as a trigger for awakening.

A person who becomes strong in moments of crisis and thereby realizes dazzling justice.

A warrior.

A warrior is the sword of the Lord. But Stella is not a warrior.

She is Cheonwoong.

Cautionary fist.

Definition of attention.

my salvation.

Watching the sight of Stella striking down the King and the demons with one blow.

I shed tears of joy.
