episode_0385

The overall tide of war is already tilted in our favor. However, no matter how advantageous you are, if you are defeated by the Demon King, the war will be overturned at once. In the end, the most important thing was this battle.

“I’m dying!!”

Kelly charged at the demon king, swinging his great sword. It would have been reckless if he were alone, but Tonya, who was once said to have skills that rivaled that of the Demon Lord, and Set were together. Plus Frenya’s covering fire. Kelly’s great sword tears through the Demon King’s magic area, which is difficult for an ordinary swordsman to penetrate.

“Hey yay!”

And in that gap, Tonya’s magic quickly penetrates. The Demon King, who was trying to avoid moving, flinched and looked down at his feet. Set’s shadow art momentarily suppresses the Demon King’s movements.

Kwakwakwak!!!

A magic that directly hit the devil. However, it was still not an effective attack.

“I didn’t know you were hiding this kind of power. And set. Are you definitely planning to commit treason now?”

The Demon King’s body was only slightly scratched. He first hit Kelly, who was blocking his path, with the back of his hand. He quickly blocks it with the wide side of the sword, but Kelly is helplessly thrown back. And then the devil immediately rushes towards Tonya. Tonya looked very nervous and her magic power boiled over. Just by looking at it, Tonya is a force.

Although it is the same black color, Tonya’s magical power, which seems to be lighter than that of the Demon Lord, is starting to fade. Tonya continued to use cruel killing spells, but the Demon King’s movements showed no signs of slowing down. Even Set’s shadow art cannot be stopped. Even if you grab it with a shadow, it’s so strong that you just pull out your foot and try to grab Tonya’s neck.

There is no reason to just open your eyes and see it.

“Haaaap!”

Aiming for a moment to approach Tonya, I ran towards the Demon King with the “Death” that had been condensed into my sword for a moment. The Demon King stopped to avoid my sword, and as a result, Frenya’s arrow hit his shoulder. Although he will recover, there will be damage due to Ray’s divine power. Taking advantage of the slight twitching, he immediately thrusts his sword in.

Kyaang—!

“Fuck. Stop this again?”

“Your “death” is soft.”

“What is there to do when you are ready for death? Charlotte!”

“Hmm?”

Charlotte’s sacred sword suddenly appeared from behind and cut through the demon king.

No, I almost missed it.

The Demon King quickly kicked me and blocked Charlotte’s sword. How many times have I blown what was clearly an opportunity?!

“Four years of “life” are also fragile.”

“What do you know… … Really?!”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and gathered her life force explosively. Charlotte’s holy sword shines brighter and draws several lines to cut the demon lord into pieces. It’s an onslaught that the undead can’t withstand, but the Demon King blocks it one by one. However, unlike when he was fighting with me, he seems to be having a bit of a hard time. The Demon King’s power was very unmatched in front of Charlotte’s power. I join back in and begin to push back on the demon lord.

It wasn’t just me and Charlotte. Tonya, Set, and Frenya and Kelly, who received the blessings of Saint Ray, were sufficiently threatening to the Demon King. No matter how strong you are, there will be no business in front of you.

It was difficult to strike a fatal blow against the Demon King.

But little by little, little by little, the Demon King’s immortality begins to crack.

“Ugh!”

Kelly is unable to withstand the devil’s attack and falls down. Even the great sword was broken and her side was hit, so she will not recover immediately from this battle. The same goes for Tonya and Set. Set, who was trying to return to the shadows, is picked up by the Demon King and is immediately thrown back to the ground and faints, while Tonya vomits blood and collapses due to reflux of magical power. And as if she thought the arrows that kept flying around were annoying, Frenya was already lying on the ground.

But me, Charlotte, and Saint Ray still remain. I gathered all my remaining strength and crashed into the demon king.

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

The battle that took place earlier was not meaningless. As Charlotte and Ray continue to beat him using their divine powers, the Demon King’s recovery ability slows down. I decided that if we took more time, we would be the ones to suffer.

The devil’s sword pierces my side. A great deal of pain came, but this level was no problem. Immediately he grabs the Demon King’s arm.

“Hmm?”

“Screw you… … Throw it away!!!”

Charlotte was better than me at being able to inflict effective attacks on the Demon King. Charlotte’s sword, which was additionally strengthened by Ray, pierces the devil’s stomach.

“Ugh.”

The Demon King groans. I let go of the demon lord’s arm that was holding me, escaped the sword stuck in my side, and took a few steps back.

“Qu… … Ahhh!!!!”

“Get some relief!!!!”

Charlotte, whose forehead was bleeding, screamed with bloodshot eyes and clenched her arms. The warrior of life and the saint pour out their all.

The sword stuck in the Demon King shines brighter, and white light scatters around the sword and begins to cover the Demon King’s body. With the sound of lightning, the demon king is purified. It was so dazzling that when I opened my eyes again, I saw the demon king kneeling.

“Ha, ha… … .”

Charlotte gasped and pulled back the sword that had stuck to the Demon King.

Now really… … Is it over?

First, I looked at Kelly and Frenia, who had collapsed, and although they were unable to properly control their bodies, it seemed that their lives were not in danger.

“Daron! Are you okay?”

When it seemed like the situation was almost settled, Ray ran towards me first.

“Phew. It stings a bit.”

“If someone sees it, they’ll think you’ve been pricked by a needle!”

I was stabbed properly by the devil. The organ was narrowly avoided, but since it penetrated the body, blood was pouring out. Ray quickly began suturing the open wound.

“I’m done, so first take a look at the fallen people. You never know.”

“I understand. Still, you don’t have to make it bleed.”

Ray cried and finished first aid first. Anyway, because of the energy of death, it will take some time for Ray’s divine power to completely heal my body.

Now that I think about it, Odelia said that the goddess of death is targeting me.

“As the Saint of Death, I should treat the Hero of Death, right?”

At that time, a black-haired woman appeared next to me and gently touched my side. I got goosebumps for a moment, but the pain faded away quickly.

“Odelia.”

Since she is a saint of death, I thought she wouldn’t be able to recover, but something like this is possible. I’m still in doubt, but since I got treatment, I guess she’ll be okay.

Odelia stares blankly at the kneeling Demon King. His entire body was charred as black as charcoal, and he could barely breathe.

I’ll have to finish it for sure.

When I raise my sword and try to approach him, the devil’s mouth moves.

“My cause is… … Will it end like this?”

“To fight for that damn cause. I’m getting tired of listening to it.”

“Are you sad?”

However, Odelia answers.

“Odelia. sorry… … Okay. In my power… … Looks like it wasn’t enough… … ”

Odelia stared at the Demon King with a serious look in her eyes that she had never seen before. What were the two talking about? And what was it like? Before returning or just after the fight, the Demon King’s face didn’t show any real emotions… … What is that now?

sorry.

and… … love.

“It was destined to end up like this anyway.”

“Destiny is… … This is truly awful. So many… … Even though it caused death… … Is it not enough?”

“It’s not enough. That’s not enough to kill the goddess of death— I guess this bitch would have said that?”

“Gagging?!”

Odelia suddenly jabbed her hand near the Demon King’s heart.

“Keueook… … . you… … you. It’s not Odelia.”

“Hmm. I never would have guessed that you and this bitch were planning such a wild plan. I didn’t know you had that much hidden power.”

All five senses become instantly sensitive. Intuitively, I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t just leave those two alone. It seems the same was true for Charlotte. Charlotte and I jump in at the two who are getting closer to completely finish off the Demon King at the same time, and to cut down Odelia. The goddess Ceres inside Odelia’s body looks at me and opens her mouth.

“It’s not too late. It’s not like you could have stopped me anyway.”

A gray haze rises from the heart of the demon lord that Ceres captured.

“K… … Aaaaa!!!!!”

The Demon King roared, instantly sending out a huge shock wave around the area. I grit my teeth and try to point my sword at the Demon King, but—.

“Ugh?!”

The devil’s fist sticks into my stomach. And the wound that had just temporarily closed opened again. But there is no time to suffer. Grab your sword and swing it!

But why?

My death energy does not move.

“You are deprived of being a hero.”

I can hear it clearly… … The voice of Ceres, borrowed from Odelia. At that moment, my arm that was swinging the sword is crushed and my body floats in the air with a dull sound.

“Kuhgh—!”

My body touches the ground again and pain spreads throughout my body. This is not the time. You have to wake up. You have to stand up and fight. Gather all the remaining magical energy you have and—.

“Ugh.”

My arms don’t rise. Ray is running towards us from afar. I want to tell him not to come because it’s dangerous, but I can’t even open my mouth properly.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok… … .”

Before I knew it, the Demon King was coming towards me with the sword he had dropped.

… … Am I going to die like this?

You can’t die.

in action.

Move… … !

Before you know it, the Demon King is raising his sword in front of you.

And swing it.

Blood spattering before my eyes.

It wasn’t my blood.

… … shallot?

“Aaaah!”

Charlotte blocked the Demon King’s sword and at the same time swung the sword with all her energy and strength. The Demon King must have been caught off guard for a moment and was pushed back by Charlotte’s blow.

“Ha… … ha… … .”

Charlotte looks back at me.

“… … You.”

“I’m not doing this because I’m sorry… … Everything?”

Although he simply blocked the devil’s attack, his power caused blood to burst out all over his body. And blood spurts out from the area where he was just stabbed. Unlike my side, the area near my organs was stabbed properly.

“Fuck. ha… … I also… … I can’t do it.”

With those words, Charlotte collapses.

Just like the last time before returning… … The holy sword falls on the floor with a metal clanking sound.
