Chapter 9 - 9

EP.77 I will support you, Elisa

"Kuh uh uh… "

A human warrior who falls to the floor with a horrendous moan immediately after being hit in the face by the gauntlet.

Looking down at him, Samuel tilted his head slightly involuntarily.

'Why?... Why did the attack stop?'

A blow from a human warrior who pierced through the gap in an instant.

As a result of the unexpected counterattack from Samuel's point of view, her helmet flew away in an instant, and at the same time, the sword of a human warrior flew towards her head without hesitation.

But the last minute.

He was about to pierce the attack, but for some reason he suddenly stopped and stopped acting.

In the worst case, it was incomprehensible from the point of view of Samuel, who tried to minimize the damage by giving up one ear.

However, instead of raising a serious question about this,

Samuel stretched out his fist and slammed a full blown blow into his face.

As a result, a human warrior who lost his mind as it was and was miserable toppling the floor.

immediately after the stadium

The voices of those cheering for Samuel's victory began to resound inside, but Samuel collapsed without even feeling the joy of victory.

He lightly picked up his body and threw it at the assistants who were waiting.

"Before treatment, first of all, restraint. This guy is human."

Samuel speaks in his characteristic dry tone.

The assistants who managed the situation inside the stadium felt deeply perplexed, but they immediately started checking the situation as it was the command of the corps commander.

and after a while,

The truth was revealed as a result of removing the robe inside the arena and dismantling the magic item he was wearing.

In addition to the human hero Ellen, who was recognized by the Demon King, the incident in which another human participated in the secret battle for Narsil without permission left the organizers and agents of the event deeply perplexed.

"What is his true identity? Even with camouflage, how could a human warrior be here?"

"We don't know yet. I think we'll find out more about it once he wakes up."

"Uh…

Okay. Then, as the corps commander said, we decided to hold the person in question tightly and imprison him in a temporary place, and when he comes to his senses, he will be questioned immediately.

Let's proceed. I want you to thoroughly understand why you came here and whether there are no other colleagues."

"yes."

"All right."

*

The organizers declared the match temporarily suspended for unknown reasons.

In this regard, the demons complained of boredom and dissatisfaction at the fact that the atmosphere that had been heated for a long time was cut off, and they began to spend time feeling bored.

but that time.

Apart from the demons who are showing a slightly droopy attitude, at this moment, they are hiding in one side of the arena and watching the situation…

The three members of the new Braves Party and Hector's colleagues began to panic as a group due to an unexpected incident.

"swimming… Hector loses. No matter how much the opponent was the commander of the corps, wouldn't it really be wrong to do this?"

A man in a black robe expressing his embarrassment with an urgent voice.

At Pompeii, an archer from the elven kingdom, the other companions began to agree with serious expressions on their faces.

"Of course not… If this happens, our plan to defeat the Demon King by aiming for Hector's most attention-grabbing point during the match has effectively failed."

Blessed woman wearing a gray robe.

At this moment, the clear feeling of despair in her voice made the atmosphere that had already subsided even more heavily.

at that time…

Looking at them like that, he looks younger than his companions, and he hasn't taken off his girly t-shirt yet.

Witch Digon wearing a blue robe,

He said in a calm voice while looking at his colleagues who were in deep chaos.

"Calm down, it's certainly a big crisis for Hero Hector, but it's still too early to despair. In a situation like this, let's start with what we can do right now."

"under… Is there anything you can do...?"

"Nothing else, Hector, the strongest of us, has been captured. What can we do in this situation?"

Pompei, who shows a little bit of anticipation for Digon's story, and Bless, who responds with a confused voice.

Regarding this, Dagon continued to look at his colleagues while keeping his cool despite his young age.

"First of all, since this is the case, let's save the hero Hector first, even if we put aside other things."

"Is that possible? How many of us have we just been taken away by the demons?"

"That's why we need to move right now."

"What?"

Dagon responds with a clear voice to Bless, who responds with a voice that has lost his motivation.

In response, Bless began to recognize the fact that this young but smart colleague in front of him was not just saying empty words, but was saying these things because he had his own reasons.

And, looking at her like that, Dagon continued to speak in a serious voice.

"think

Look, no matter how convict you are, this is the arena where the match is being held. Right now, as I said in the case of the Demon King, here is the Demon King's Castle.

It's a much easier place to move around for us anyway than inside."

"Yeah, but… "

"Besides, these guys must be genuinely bewildered by an unexpected emergency, and if we make good use of this opportunity, there is no doubt that we have a very good chance."

"… Right. I know a little bit what that means."

Bliss seems to agree with Dagon's words, and his eyes start to come alive again.

Immediately after that, the three of them put their heads together and began to think about how to rescue Hector.

*

"after… "

Elisha let out a small sigh as she looked at the opponent lying in front of her.

Unlike Shamuel, who had a fairly close match against a newcomer earlier, she was in a situation where she broke the green sprout in front of her without much difficulty.

However, from the standpoint of seeing Samuel suffer quite a bit apart from the relatively brisk match, she had no choice but to be wary of the newcomer in front of her before the match.

'What… In the end, it was just a simple rainstorm.'

At the end of that thought, Elisha lightly retrieved the sword and went back.

Next, her gaze is on the person she will face next.

She began to turn to her mother, Elias.

'I'll never win, Mama... I will definitely prove that I am superior to Mama.'

*

They take a break after the first round of the finals, which felt a bit like a preliminary round.

Obviously, the number of people was reduced by half, and as the top-tier warriors called the corps commander and the SS were in place, there were no longer those who showed a sense of ambiguity among those who remained.

And, among those people, I started looking for who I was going to face next.

'Let's see... I know that he is a person who came up from a place where the newcomers were joined... '

First of all, as I am a newbie, I did not have enough information, but I looked around eagerly with the intention of trying to say something.

And after a while.

In my eyes, the figure of the person in question wearing the red armor I saw earlier in the duel began to come into my eyes.

'I've literally shown overwhelming power against the same rookie. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good match... '

For a simple newcomer, an existence that radiates an unusual presence.

Regarding this, I thought that as a newcomer should not be taken lightly, as in the case of Samuel earlier, I carefully approached the red armor that gave the feeling of the hermit master.

at that time…

"Warrior."

"ah… What's wrong with Elisha?"

The next moment, Elisha suddenly calls me.

So I stopped trying to talk to the red armor for a while, and then I started talking to Elisa.

"What are you doing? Anything important?"

"… yes. It's important. really… It's really important."

Elisha looks at me and speaks in a voice full of sincerity.

Something different from usual

Through this image of her that feels like a determination,

I automatically felt a strange tension.

"Did you know that Mama and I will fight right after this?"

"ah… Yes, I know that."

"Please watch that match with your eyes wide open. Please."

"yes?"

Elisha simply asks to take the match seriously.

However, I couldn't help but question the unknown seriousness contained in it.

'Why do you have to tell me to watch the game?... Ummm. Is this supposed to be like that? It's like he's been honing his combat skills and asking him to pay attention to his achievements.'

It seemed to mean that he wanted to see how much he had grown as he was a friend and a colleague who had been fighting together.

In particular, it is not unreasonable to think that a country with superior combat power than hers can see it more objectively.

So, I answered my friend's request with pure favor.

"All right. We will try to focus as much as possible. Stay strong, I will support you, Elisa."

"ah!"

At my words, Elisha had a bright smile on her lips.

I don't know if it was because he thought I would decline his request, or if there was another reason.

Anyway, looking at her who seems to like her a little too much.

I felt like I was looking at a little cute cat, and I had a slight smile on my face.

EP.78 Why is it that person?

the person you see before your eyes.

She is standing with a single huge sickle that is likely to cut through the moon.

With her red hair fluttering and standing as lofty as always, she is incredibly strong and beautiful.

At the same time,

for her

For Elisha.

You are the most precious person

The final target that I have longed for all along.

Looking at that person...

Elisha drew the dagger as it was, and then slowly went to the person who was on the stage…

She moved closer to her mother, Elias.

"I didn't know that we would meet like this in a place like this, my daughter."

"…"

At the same time as Elisa appeared, Elias had a warm smile as always.

However, looking at her like this, Elisha just stood there without answering.

"Are you going to start right away? Don't be in such a hurry, no matter how impatient you are, you might get hurt."

"...."

Elias speaks in a voice full of kindness towards Elisa, who shows the momentum to attack at any moment by emitting magical power.

At this, Elisha began to feel a little bit sad as she felt that the woman in front of her was not showing any seriousness towards her daughter.

and…

"!"

-visor!!

In an instant, Elisa's blows assimilates her body with the shadows and flies away at an unbelievable speed.

The attack with a speed that was hard to follow even with the naked eye fell precisely toward Elias, and Elias quickly moved the scythe to block it.

"… Even though… Isn't this a bit harsh for your mother?"

Elias speaks with a little dissatisfaction.

But,

Still looking at her, who still doesn't break the smile on her lips.

Elisha said in a voice filled with passion.

"Don't even think about doing it mama, now I'm… Because I'm really serious! certainly… I will definitely defeat Mama and make sure that the relationship between him and Mama is clear!"

"!!"

Elisha's words are sincere.

At this, Illusion's face, which had been filled with leeway, began to be engulfed in a feeling of embarrassment for a moment.

"to… Elisa? ji… what to say now... "

As Elias said those words, the strength of the hand that had been blocking Elisa's dagger began to loosen slightly.

At the same time,

Elisa provoked even more emotions, driving the momentum as it is, driving Elias and shouting.

"Don't hit the shichimi! I already know everything. Mama knows she's in love now! And from time to time she goes to see the man and spends time alone!"

"ね!..."

Elias can no longer refute Elisha's sharp words.

But after a while,

As she pushed back Elisa's attack, which had barely been blocked,

Then, with still trembling eyes, he carefully asked Elisha a question.

"uh… How did you know?"

"Of course, you know when you pretend! You flirt around like that, did you really think I wouldn't know?"

"… ha… "

Elias let out a heavy sigh at Elisha's words.

Then, she immediately exploded the power in her hand as it was, and pushed Elisha strongly as it was.

"Shit!"

Elisha took a step back at Elias' actions.

immediately after that.

Elias looked at his daughter in front of him, as if he had made up his mind to do something, and said in a more subdued voice.

"okay… If this happens, there will be no more excuses."

bitterness.

A bit of resignation.

And Elias' attitude, which felt like a will that lay beneath it.

Then, looking at her precious daughter in front of her eyes, she continued to speak with a determined voice.

"Yeah, as you said… Mom she's got someone to love now. She is the kind of person who is seriously thinking about remarrying."

"!..."

Elias responds as if he has already made up his mind and speaks firmly.

Seeing her like that,

Elisha automatically felt a stabbing pain in the corner of her heart, and said in a trembling voice with her head bowed.

"… Why... why… Why are you supposed to be that person?"

"L… lisa?"

"Why are you that person? To be honest, we haven't had a good relationship ever since we first met! Why is it that he has come to choose him now? how… why!!"

Elisha screams with tears in her eyes.

At the same time, as if her emotions were running out, she mercilessly swung her sword and began to charge at Elias.

"!"

For a moment, Elisha sets up a shadow on the ground like a blade and charges as it is.

At her new attack style, which was quite different from what she had seen before, Elias automatically felt a sense of surprise and began to take a quick defensive stance.

And as a result…

- Kwagwagwang!!!

A loud explosion sounded in an instant.

Noise and shock as if dozens of iron poles were being thrown down began to swept through the area, and their gaze was blocked for a moment by the dust generated at the same time.

*

The scene of the battle that changed violently in an instant, and the thick dust that obscured the view for a moment.

Watching these series of situations thoroughly as Elisha had asked, I began to feel a bit of surprise as well as a sense of doubt.

'Not only assimilating into the shadow, but also physically controlling it... It certainly seems to have gotten stronger than when I fought in the past.'

In terms of combat power, it was clearly recognizable that there had been development enough to be commended.

However, apart from this fact, I personally had no choice but to question the appearance of Elisha, who seemed to be showing some intense emotions while fighting the previous battle.

'I don't think I can hear it well because it's far away, but no matter how I look at it, it seems like I'm having an argument with my mother over something? What the hell are you talking about? '

It was natural for a daughter and a mother to quarrel with each other over these and other problems.

The problem is the fact that the match is taking place in the middle of a competition on a national scale like this.

From that point of view, I came to think that the commander of the corps and the lady of the SS were great in a different way.

'Isn't this a style that doesn't care about the people around you and says everything you want to say? but… Elisa as well as Elias are strong enough to be able to wrestle with Samson.'

happened right away

As it was Elias, who had been demonstrating his spirit without blinking an eye against Samson, who looked terrifying like a thief from the beginning, her

I was reminded once again that courage is truly amazing apart from her slender appearance.

That was when I was waiting for the dust in front of me to clear while I was thinking about this and that.

"iced coffee… "

The next moment I hear the emoticon next to me... No, it was a voice that contained the sadness of Samuel.

Immediately after that, I was able to easily recognize why those words were coming out of her mouth.

the scene in front of me

that…

Elisa's shadow attack pierced her body and she was bleeding.

revealed at the same time.

With such a messed up body, she is holding Elisha and hugging her.

It was the look of Elias.

*

"mind… Mama... uh... why?"

Mother Elias is holding her body tightly.

for her actions,

Elisha, who was suddenly enveloped in passion and attacked, had no choice but to feel a deep embarrassment.

In that brief moment, Elisha saw.

This is the image of Elias who pierces his own attack and digs into the range where he can attack as it is.

'I could have counterattacked... if you make up your mind. Rather, it was a moment that could have overpowered me. By the way… '

But at the last moment, Elias chose to hug her body instead of counterattacking himself.

Seeing her mother behaving like that with her whole body covered in blood, Elisha, who was engulfed in passion, was shocked as if cold water was poured over her head.

and,

Looking at Elisa like that.

Elias gently stroked her hair and spoke in a calm voice.

"… don't you like it that much? The fact that this mother loves him… that he becomes our daughter's stepfather…"

"…"

Elias talks without losing his hunting for his daughter, even in a painful situation with holes all over his body.

Her words flew like an arrow, and were pierced firmly in Elisha's chest.

But.

Despite this, Elisa struggled to not be swept away by her mother's too strong affection, and she struggled to open her mouth.

"… no… really… me… Just the thought of Mama being with that person. here… My heart hurts so much. Why is it that person... why… That person out of many and many people… Did you fall in love with a warrior?"

"… yes?"

In the next moment, Elisha's words made Elias look like he had a blank expression on his face.

EP.79 Why is the hero out there?

"Warrior… rani? Why is the hero out there?"

"… yes?"

Elias speaks in a voice full of deep questions.

Regarding this, Elisha asked cautiously, questioning her mother's reaction, which was a little too much different from what she had expected.

"why… rani? The person Mama likes is a hero... Wasn't it?"

"Not at all?"

"… Eh?..."

Elias gives a firm answer to Elisha's question.

Regarding this, for a moment, Elisha felt an emptiness as if her head was empty, and she could not think for a while.

And after a while...

Elisha began to recover her mind as if the light had been turned on again.

Immediately after that, she began to confirm with a trembling voice as she saw her mother, Elias, who had a questioning expression in front of her.

"I… really… Really not? The person that my mother likes... Maybe the person who could be my dad isn't the hero... Is this?"

"Because it's not.

A warrior... That guy isn't my taste, and above all, he's human. Although he will be recognized as a fellow as much as he has a dynamic so far, so

I don't think it's something to have a serious relationship with."

"ah… "

In fact, if you think about it, the two of them really wanted to kill each other, and Elias had always hated human beings from a long time ago.

As such, when Elisha first found out that Elias had fallen in love with the hero, it was even more unbelievable, but

Looking back now, in fact, all of that was wrong from the very beginning.

'but… In fact, it was strange when you think about it... How Mama is a hero... '

Recognizing that everything was her own mistake, Elisha began to feel like going into a mouse hole as it is.

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he was of what he had done until now.

'ah… no, me too... Anyway, how did you get this wrong? The hero might be with Mama or something like that... No matter how much you think about it, it really doesn't make sense, right?'

Elisa feels the urge to roll the floor, if she can, at her absurd actions that only appear after the filter in her brain disappears.

Then, all of a sudden, new questions began to appear in her mind.

One of them, then, is who the hero confessed to at that time.

And another one...

"I… mama? That... So who the hell is it? The person Mama is even thinking about getting married is... "

"ah… that… that… "

At Elisa's sudden question, Elias starts blushing just as much as the girl before.

And right after that…

"Wow!..."

"mama?"

The next moment, Elias fell to the floor with a groan that still felt a bit awkward.

Seeing her like this, who had been having a conversation just before, Elisa felt a momentary desire to inquire about the situation, but she had no choice but to give up on that thought.

In fact, Elisa's attack now caused Elias' injuries to be never taken lightly, and above all, these injuries were simply due to her misunderstanding.

Now that her mother was injured because of her mistake, it's funny to argue about it.

Above all, at this point in time when it was revealed that her mother's opponent was not a hero, Elisa thought that it was a little too much for her to forcefully ask what her mother did not want to say.

'Well, I'll tell you the details when Mama thinks it's good for her. To be honest, I'm curious as to who you are... '

So, after clearing up her mind, Elisa slowly came down from the arena.

Immediately after that, Elisa's ear began to hear a voice announcing her victory, although it felt a little forced.

*

"… after… "

Elias leads the injured body down the hallway.

It wasn't fatal, but she was frowned slightly in pain as she suffered quite a bit.

'It hurts a lot more than I thought... Still, I'm glad that my daughter has matured that much, but...'

In that way, Elias walks forward step by step, feeling a feeling of joy in one side of his heart, apart from the pain that makes his whole body throb.

at that time…

before her eyes,

The person I had been expecting to some extent began to show up.

"In the end, you were eliminated from the finals again? He ranted that he was going to win this time, and then it happened again. After all, it seems that you and Narsil have no relationship."

"Chi… "

As always, Samson speaks in an arrogant voice.

Elias bit his tongue at this and said to him with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Penalty

That was 200 years ago. At that time, until I lost to you by Samson in the final, I thought I could win the championship without much difficulty next time.

I did... I ended up leaving until I was so sick of it."

With those words, Elias slowly leaned against the wall.

immediately after that,

Samson stood next to her and said in a calm voice.

"Honestly, I didn't even know at the time. I don't think we'll ever have a relationship like this..."

"At that time, I was a married woman with a husband. Even after he left, she didn't really think she would be your next opponent... "

The usual tick-tick tone remained, but

Nevertheless, at this moment, the two are showing a subtle yet subtly hard feeling between the fishermen, like a sloppy wooden house.

And after a while, Samson carefully reached out and gently pulled Elias' body next to him.

"… It hurts."

"A person called the corps commander can't stand this much."

"Isn't this a story about you, not the commander of the corps?"

"Then, is it better to lay the road?"

"… It's not... "

Elias answered with a voice that seemed to have no choice but to answer.

at the end of that word.

The two leaned against each other for a moment and remained silent.

where no one has seen it.

Having quiet time just for the two of us...

*

Elisa returns to the waiting room after the match.

Unlike the last time I went up to the stadium with a fierce determination,

At this moment, she was showing a blank expression as if she had come.

"Huh… .."

"… I… Elisa? Did you happen to have anything? Why is your expression... "

"… huh... no... Nothing… just… . Leave me alone for a moment."

"ah… yes… "

Elisha literally answered my question with an empty expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, I knew something was wrong with me, but I felt that I shouldn't be concerned about it, so I decided to leave her seat for now.

'What… I'll listen to the details after the situation is relieved a little bit, and for now, I'll have to prepare for the next match first.'

With that thought in mind, my gaze turned to the person who had just finished sharpening his weapon and was slowly getting up from his seat.

An unknown entity wearing red armor.

Shortly thereafter, he began to move towards the aisle leading to the arena... Looking at him like this,

I put on the bayonet that had been repaired in the same way and approached the red armor as it was.

"Then I wish you well."

My act of greeting with a relatively light heart.

And, in response to my actions, the red armor immediately stopped in place and then slowly turned to look at me.

Then, as if in response to my greeting, he nodded his head lightly and then proceeded forward without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, I thought that my opponent this time was a very reticent person in many ways, and I started to follow him and move towards the stadium.

and after a while,

Me and the red armor standing side by side facing each other.

Next, I stared at the opponent in front of me with the great sword in my hand, and in response to my actions, the red armor also drew a long sword and prepared for battle.

'It was the same when we said hello, but it seems that he has no intention of having a conversation.'

It feels completely opposite to Elisa's match in which conversation was the focus just before this.

With that thought in mind, I prepared a blow against the red armor right in front of me, while still infusing my sword with magical power.

at that time…

"!"

"uh?"

The next moment you feel an unusual presence.

Immediately after that, the eyes of me and the red armor began to turn towards one place almost simultaneously.

and…

-Kwagwagwang!!!

The next moment, suddenly, a loud explosion sounded.

At the loud noise coming from outside the arena, the eyes of almost everyone present, including me and the Red Armor, turned to it.

But then...

"Aaaaaah!!"

"Wow, there is an intruder here!"

A loud, loud voice suddenly came from the opposite side of the explosion.

Recognizing that something serious had happened, I quickly started heading to the VIP room where the Demon King was located.

"damn! Demon King!"

at that time…

"yes?"

The next moment, I suddenly felt someone's hand grabbing my wrist.

So I turned my gaze to it and immediately knew who the owner of this hand was.

He was my opponent in the red armor.

By the way…

"Wait a minute, I'm here, warrior."

"…!?"

Now that we've added a fake to the EP.80 fake, wouldn't it be okay to be relieved?

Red armor that tells an unexpected story.

However, the moment I heard the voice and the way he spoke.

I'm that person...

No, I knew right away who she was.

"mind… Your Majesty the Demon King?"

A demon king who appeared in an unexpected way from a place you never really thought of.

At that time, I was feeling a little bit of relief, along with a deep embarrassment.

-hook!

"yes?"

In the next moment, a person runs straight past us standing in the center of the stadium and runs straight to the VIP seat.

After seeing the actions of the commander of the corps, the demon king looked at each other as they were, feeling as if they were eating a set meal.

and..

"I think I should go."

"Yes, I will accompany you."

Although it is said that there is no danger to the safety of the Demon King, the fact that someone has attacked this place is the same, apart from that.

So, me and the Demon King began to follow in the footsteps of Samuel to catch the criminal.

After a while, the three of us arrived at the VIP room.

Due to the sudden explosion and thick smoke that occurred at the same time, the inside of the VIP room was in a mess, and wounded demons were lying everywhere.

"damn!… ."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, luckily there are no major problems except for a few injuries."

Belze Beauty gets up from her seat with a slight frown at Samuel's question.

Following her, the other demons who had fallen on the floor began to rise from their seats as if following her.

Both suffered minor injuries, though. Still, it seemed that no one had suffered so much damage.

And, I see one of those people.

The demons, wearing the veil and the demon king's clothes, brushed off the dust on their clothes and corrected their posture as if they could feel their dignity as a monarch again.

"Is your Majesty okay?"

"The load is fine. I think it was just a small explosion that had an impact on this place."

A demon king who talks as if nothing happened to Belze Beauty's question.

At this, the real demon king standing behind me breathed a little sigh of relief, and I was able to put my mind at ease for the moment that there were no major problems compared to the commotion.

But then...

"Wait a minute, then what was that sound?"

"yes?"

"What are you talking about?"

In the next moment, as usual, ●△●, apart from the one-faced expression, Samuel speaks in a very serious voice.

Regarding this, we who were present automatically expressed our doubts.

and…

"That's the story we just heard. Screaming and saying that there is an intruder in the VIP room. Who said that?"

"Come to think of it… "

"I heard that too… "

Feeling suspicious for a moment at Samuel's point, Belzebeauty and I looked around the demons standing around.

However, none of them said that no one had ever said such a thing, and there were only testimonies that they had simply heard such a sound.

and.

Immediately after confirming that fact...

"… this… "

"!?"

"Shah.. Samuel?"

With a short sound, Samuel quickly started running out of the window.

To this I

Although it was not possible to grasp the exact situation, once, as before, they started to follow her and move together, and at the same time, they followed me.

Therefore, the demon king wearing red armor also began to move together.

"! ruler… Shut up for a second... ね… "

Belze Beauty tries to stop her from the sudden action of the real demon king.

However, in the current state of being a deputy, she could not act hastily, and in such a moment, the Demon King followed the hero and left the VIP room.

*

"Good! Operation success!"

"You did it! To be honest, I was nervous until the very end."

Bless and Dagon are running on the roof of the building and talking with joyous voices.

Seeing them like that, Pompeii and Hector, who were moving one step behind them, frowned slightly and said,

"Be quiet and move quickly. It's not over until we get out of here in Jerusalem!"

"I sympathize, thank you for saving me, but once I am happy, what I do after the situation is completely over will let go."

"Yeah, I know."

They keep moving, setting a slightly tense day at the advice of the two.

However, apart from this fact, in the hearts of the four people here at this moment, there was a feeling of relief at the fact that they had passed a really dangerous hurdle safely.

Hector, an incumbent hero who infiltrated the heart of Jerusalem, the capital of the Demon Kingdom as a human, and was caught.

Fortunately, he tried to assassinate the demon king, but the reason for the same was not yet revealed on the surface.

However, the fact that he was here hiding his identity at this point right after the war was over was enough in itself to be suspicious of some impure intentions.

In the end, they would be interrogated in some way, and in the process, there was a very high possibility that they would be subjected to harsh conditions such as torture.

In addition, if you are taken to a place like the dungeon of the Demon King's castle, rather than a solitary temporarily locked up, it is a situation that can become close to impossible to really rescue.

The remaining Brave Party members devised a way to save Hector as soon as possible.

For this purpose, the method originally intended to be used when attacking the Demon King was appropriately applied.

The moment Hector, who had originally reached the semi-final level, entered the arena,

from one side

Dagon made a fuss with his magic to draw people's attention, and he used the gap that was created to make a fuss around Hector, who was in the arena, and

Their plan was that Pompeii and Bless, who had been hiding, joined and decided to kill the Demon King as it is.

Although this became an impossible plan as a result of Hector's robbery in the first round of the finals, the method of causing a commotion and attracting attention could create a gap to rescue Hector from solitary confinement.

One time by causing a commotion as far away as possible from Hector's cell.

Then the devil

At the same time, it caused confusion by detonating the magic that had been installed in advance, and at the same time, the nearby Bless was attacked by the demon king.

They blew bluffs to deceive the enemies twice and induce confusion.

The reason I did this was to break down the boundaries of the enemies who became stronger as Hector was captured...

In particular, the biggest thing was to blur the attention of that corps commander named Samuel, who saw through Hector's identity and even defeated him.

'If I've done this up to this point, no matter how monstrous I am, it won't be a big deal.'

'He was hiding his appearance with magic, but he saw through it... But no matter how much I faked it twice in a row, I wouldn't get caught here.'

like that,

As a result, the party of heroes must achieve its purpose by avoiding the eyes of Samuel.

Although they couldn't take the demon king's head, they thought that just being alive in the middle of the enemy camp would be a comfort for the time being, and the four of them succeeded in reaching the outskirts of Jerusalem.

If you go a little further and hide in the forest that comes out, you will be able to feel relieved from then on.

Thinking like that,

The bowstrings of tension that had been drawn in your hearts began to loosen slightly.

at that time…

-hook!

"!"

"Up… dangerous… !"

-bang!

the next moment,

A huge boulder that suddenly flies to where they are.

As a result, after barely evading the four of them, they had no choice but to land in the vacant lot right in front of them.

"ね!"

"No, how did you get here already… "

"damn! I just had to go a little bit further."

"… uh... "

They are stranded in a situation where their destination is right in front of them.

immediately after that,

In front of them, the commander of the corps is wearing a gauntlet and showing his ●△● face.

The figure of Samuel began to appear.

"I found a human. and their colleagues. Not to miss this time."

Shamuel shows a threatening attitude with a dry voice.

at this moment,

Watching her radiate beauty that cannot be hidden at the same time due to her features with perfect sculptural beauty in addition to her brutality.

People could only feel as if they were overwhelmed by something for a moment.

However, apart from these feelings, they had not yet lost their courage or felt despair about this situation.

"Chi. Well, anyway, he's the only one here."

"4:1 In addition, we have already understood what his fighting style is like. There is no reason for us to lose."

With those words, Bless and Dagon immediately begin to prepare for battle.

To be sure, as an opponent who had fought an almost equal battle with Hector, objectively, this side's power was more than enough to deal with her alone.

Of course this is…

To the last, it was under the premise that she was the only opponent.

"yes?"

"! What… what?"

Another sign that suddenly began to feel the moment they had just finished preparing for battle.

Shortly thereafter, Samuel looked at the person behind him and spoke in a quiet voice.

"A little late."

"There is nothing you can do about it. You were the first to set out in the first place, and above all, it was only you who could make a decision in that situation."

Along with those words, a being who is ready for battle while correcting the black greatsword.

The moment he recognized who he was, Pompeii automatically frowned and muttered in a cold voice.

"The black warrior… That guy is here... "

EP.81 This guy is a total monster!

Samuel uses his tracking ability to take direction and runs to the place where the raiders are.

As I moved after her, I could hear roughly how things were going.

"human?"

"Yeah, although I didn't reveal it openly because there's a match going on and there might be other gangs of them, but the guy I've been dealing with before was a human."

"Why are humans still here? Why would you appear here in Jerusalem and not in any other place?"

"I don't know exactly. If I had been interrogated right away, something would have come out, but at the time, I had to focus on the match."

"Ummm… "

Even though it feels a bit mechanical, Samuel says exactly what he wants to say.

Clearly, if there had been disclosure of human intrusion into the arena, there would have been a high probability that the event would have been severely disrupted in terms of safety.

As there are many demon kings and other high-ranking demons in the arena right now, this is an unavoidable procedure.

In order to prevent this, she also decided to focus on her next match, which will be held immediately. As a result, she had no choice but to postpone the case of the human being for Samuel.

If she had been a member of the bodyguard who was in direct charge of the demon king's guard, she would have paid more attention, but her role is not a bodyguard, but a corps commander who leads the army.

Since the nature of the basic work was different, I couldn't blame her for this.

It was strictly the job of the bodyguards, including the SS, to interrogate him who actually caught him.

This could be said to be similar to the fact that if a soldier caught a thief on the road and sent it to the police station, he would have done his job with it.

"Anyway, I didn't expect things to get this big. Had I known this would happen, I would have had to break at least one limb of that human in advance."

"haha.."

Shamuel vomits his regrets while casually telling a bloody story.

And in the next moment, she suddenly started speeding up as if the targets were close, and I moved a little further apart to follow her more smoothly.

'Come to think of it… I think the Demon King was following me from behind, but where did he suddenly disappear?'

I didn't pay attention to it because I was so busy, but nevertheless, I can't help but feel suspicious.

In any case, since there is no way to go back to find the Demon King once I come here, I landed there after following Samuel who arrived at the empty lot in front of me first.

*

The demon corps commander, Samuel, appeared in front of him.

And, the powerful black warrior who defeated one of the bodyguards in the previous confrontation.

There were two strong men standing in front of them, but nonetheless, the brave party members did not lose their fighting spirit.

'4:2… The situation has gotten worse than before, but there's still a chance that this is enough.'

'The power of that black warrior is great, but if Hector fights the corps commander and the three of us fight that one guy... '

Although he was defeated because of bad luck, it was already well known that Hector and Samuel were on the same level.

Thinking that it was a fight worth doing, they began to pull out their own weapons.

Dagon, the witch who draws a wand, and Bless, the witch who wears a claw.

Then, Pompeii is holding the bow from behind and Hector is drawing his sword again.

So, the four of them quickly formed a camp and prepared for a battle with the two powerful enemies in front of them.

"I make a deal with that man. The three are the heroes you are fighting against."

"All right. then."

Immediately after completing the division of roles, they stare at the opponent in front of them.

In an instant, a cold wind began to blow in the vacant lot where they were gathered.

And, the unstoppable tension was cut off at the same time as the arrow was fired from Pompeii's hand holding the bowstring.

-Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Arrows flying towards the black warrior with a sharp sound.

It was not an ordinary steel arrow, but the blow with considerable magical power inside had the destructive power that could pierce even steel armor if it was hit with authenticity.

The figure of a black warrior who shows no sign of avoiding even when being attacked by such arrows.

In response to this, Pompeii began to show a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, recalling the author's serious nose injury that he believed only in the defensive power of armor.

But…

-Ting!

"uh?"

"み!"

In the next moment, as it is, Pompeii's arrow is lightly deflected just by turning the direction of the sword by the black warrior.

Despite the fact that it possesses much amplified destructive power due to magical power, the blow that flew away in vain brought a moment of embarrassment to Pompeii and the party's faces.

"How can you recklessly deflect an arrow with that much magical power… "

"Shit! If so, get this too!"

With those words, Dagon begins to memorize spells after gathering magical power to his staff.

The magical energy emanating from her body began to be embodied as a translucent liquid like water, and then it began to transform into a form like a gigantic whale.

A 4m-diameter whale made of a blue liquid that looks like it is swimming in the air.

But the next moment,

In a way, it may look beautiful and dreamy.

As it was, it flew its heavy body like a single cannonball and began to rush towards the place where the black hero was.

Although smaller than a real whale.

A situation in which an existence of a size that is never small from an objective point of view flies in the face.

But…

In this situation, where ordinary courage is enough to momentarily feel fear.

The black warrior straightened his sword without blinking an eye.

and…

"Ugh!"

- Kwagwagwang!!!

A black warrior who simply wields a sword with magic power without any special magic.

However, the blow he flew just evaporated the blue whale created by Dagon without leaving a trace.

Even then, the remaining shock wave began to fly with a terrifying force towards Dagon and the other party of the hero.

"city… shield!!!"

Dagon, who creates a shield by pouring out magical energy as he is in the terrifying blow that flies in an instant.

But,

Despite the shield she made with all her might, it was not enough to stop the wave of power emanating from the sword of the black warrior.

Pushed by the overwhelming force and cracked as it is, her shield appears to be about to break at any moment.

Despite the fact that he was recovering with the magical power he was squeezing out at every moment, the speed at which the shield was restored could not keep up with the rate at which it was broken.

'This... what is this... … '

'This guy is a monster! '

'How could this... Even the corps commanders would not be able to have this kind of power... '

A blow that erases her strongest attack and shows power beyond the output she can handle with just the remaining aftermath.

Dagon and her colleagues later realized that they had chosen the wrong opponent, but...

It was already too late.

- Break!

"ah!.."

In the end, even though Dagon poured his magical energy into it, the shield was eventually destroyed.

As a result, the three of them were swallowed up helplessly by the waves of that black power.

*

"This… what… does not make sense… "

A blow beyond imagination that occurred right next to him.

At this, Hector's face instantly began to cover with astonishment over the situation and concern for his comrades who had been swept away by such an attack.

at that time…

"There is no time to worry about that."

"ね!"

-bang!

Shamuel's gauntlets barely pass through Hector, who had been distracted for a moment.

Hector was forced to focus on this situation for now while barely evading an attack that could cause his head to explode in the worst case, even if he was hit with just one orthodox hit.

'Fortunately, they haven't died from the fact that they still have a weak presence. But, I can't believe that a black warrior could have such tremendous power... '

A black warrior wielding power beyond imagination.

To be honest, when he heard the name, Hector was thinking that he was simply a fake guy who imitates a hero among the demons...

At this moment, he was consciously aware that his thinking was completely wrong.

'It wasn't just a name. With that level of strength, it's not lacking enough to be called a warrior literally. Maybe it's even equivalent to Ellen-sama, who is the strongest of all time.'

Feeling that the situation is getting worse and worse, the hero Hector tries his best to defeat Samuel by any means.

However, despite all his might at this moment, he was hardly able to win against her.

It wasn't just that her appearance in his eyes was overly beautiful.

Worrying about the safety of his colleagues, and even thinking about the danger that the existence of that unanswered monster will bring to the racial union in the future.

in many ways

The current situation was preventing Hector from concentrating on the battle, so he calmly said that he was one step ahead of Samuel.

Despite having the above fighting power, it was not able to save it at all.

And as a result…

"ah!"

"Caught.

-Pak!

EP.82 Since I told the truth, only the lives of my colleagues...

"Ugh… "

"ね… "

"damn… "

The three of them barely get up after a storm of immense magical power has passed.

Although barely holding their breath, they knew the situation they were facing was literally the worst.

At this moment, their whole body was covered with wounds, and their physical strength and magical power were literally hitting the bottom.

Even Dagon, who blocked the attack from the front, had broken bones in his limbs, and the others suffered injuries that made it more difficult to find a healthy place.

This was partly because the enemy's attack was huge, but partly because he was countered in an unexpected way, there was also no time to react.

In that way, the three of them looked at the black warrior in front of them in a state where no more battles could be fought.

at that time…

"Wow!..."

"!"

"iced coffee… "

The next moment, Hector is thrown right in front of them, with a mess of faces.

After confirming that even the last hope had disappeared, a dark shadow of despair began to appear on the face of the Hero Party.

"after… This is it."

"thank you for your effort. You did it sooner than I thought."

"The hero, not just one or two, but three of them suffered a lot."

Unlike the warrior party, who is trembling in fear in a situation where their lives come and go, Samuel and the black warrior speak in a voice that feels relaxed and refreshed.

It was then that the three of them were in despair, realizing that there was no hope left for them any more.

"ね… Whoa!..."

"yes?"

"Do you still have the strength to stand up?

A person who struggles to get up from a situation with blood dripping from his nose and mouth.

Seeing Hector's appearance, the Black Champion and Shamuel looked a little interested.

"what? Are you going to keep fighting in this situation? then… "

A black warrior who speaks in a cold voice while looking at Hector who has forced himself to stand upright.

However, in response to this, Hector slowly shook his head and began to open his mouth with difficulty.

"Anymore… I have no intention of starting a reckless fight. I just want to ask you to show me one last time."

"mercy?"

"Yes…

As you can see, we don't have the strength to fight anymore. I will surrender obediently, and if necessary, my life, the captain who led them, will be sacrificed.

I'll give it to you. please… Please ensure the safety of my colleagues."

"! Hey, Hector!"

"What are you talking about!"

"Don't say that! If we live, we must live together, and if we die, we must all die together!"

Hector speaking in a determined voice with his head bowed.

As a result, the other companions shouted with an urgent voice as they saw him making sacrifices for them, but Hector's will did not change.

Someone would have to be held accountable for causing such a commotion, and Hector was ready to accept it.

As the leader of the group, this is a natural duty and the last sacrifice you can make for your precious colleagues.

Hector remained silent for a moment while entrusting his disposition to the two men in front of him.

Without even the slightest certainty as to whether what was behind this was death or something else.

*

Hector begs for mercy in front of his eyes.

At this, Samuel showed an attitude as if it didn't matter, and said to me.

"What are you going to do, warrior? You're the one who got three of them, so I'm up to your decision."

"Okay then… "

Shamuel shows that these guys don't care whether they live or die.

After thinking for a while, I started asking questions to this person named Hector in front of me.

"Did you say Hector? Before making a decision, I would like to ask a few questions."

"… Ask me."

Hector speaks with a feeling of being a little compliant with my words.

As he knows that the lives of his colleagues can be decided by how he responds here, he was showing a fairly naive attitude.

"First of all, what happened to you who belonged to the Tribal Union here in Jerusalem? What caused such a commotion there?"

"that… "

Hector, who seemed to think about my question for a moment.

Seeing him like this, I could intuitively know that the reason he had infiltrated this place was not so modest.

However, the words of Hector that followed went far beyond my expectations, which I had been prepared for to some extent.

"That's because I'm a warrior with a mission to take the Demon King's head."

"… What?"

Hector brings up an unexpected story.

At this point, I even started to think that this guy, who had never even appeared in the original, had eaten something wrong.

After a while, I realized that nothing could explain this situation better than that.

'From human warriors to elven archers, witches, and even beast warriors. I'm sure the combination is right first.'

In addition, the fact that they appeared in a place that could be dangerous even if their identity was revealed and made such a terrorist-level disturbance was a kind of proof that they were a warrior party with a mission to assassinate the demon king.

As I became aware of the identity and purpose of these people in front of me, I had no choice but to look at them from a different perspective than I had just before.

'It's a warrior party... If that's the case, are you saying that they are the ones who will become my juniors? If that's the case, then you're saying they're the ones who should never be quiet.'

Beings sent from the Tribal Union with the purpose of exterminating the Demon King.

This was the mission I had right after I fell into this world, but to me at this point, the Hero Party was a clear enemy.

These guys attacked for the life of the Demon King who had a romantic relationship with me, not anyone else.

As there is no need for me to take care of those guys, I immediately started to think about blowing their heads off the spot.

However, apart from this impulse.

I had no choice but to kill my emotions, realizing that if they were a warrior party, there were a few things I had to ask.

"Is this because you are a warrior party? But even so, it doesn't explain why you did this. At this point in the dissolution of the racial union, there is no need for you to do such a reckless thing, do you?'

Even though they lost to me a while ago, their skills were enough to live up to being recognized in their respective countries.

Just by looking at Hector right in front of him, he can fight on an equal footing with the commander of the corps, Samuel, so even if he can't, he can easily get the position of the highest mercenary or general in the Falcon Empire.

Nevertheless, instead of enjoying wealth and glory in their respective countries,

The possibility is low and dangerous, and at this point, even if he succeeded, he chose the subjugation of the demon king, who was not even welcomed or welcomed.

Feeling a little skeptical of that fact, I asked a question before killing them,

At this, the hero Hector answered my question with a more subdued expression on his face.

This is not a simple reason, but a story related to the current situation of the racial unity that is divided into four quarters.

And in the process, the warrior party who wanted to resist the reality of breaking up with his colleagues he had depended on so far and even having to point a knife at him.

Hearing their stories,

I was a member of the same Brave Party, but I felt a slight regret about the situation in which I was thoroughly betrayed by the colleagues in question and ended up on the side of the Demon King.

Aside from that, of course, my determination to punish these bastards who dared to touch my woman has not changed.

*

"… I envy you."

"?"

Hector, seeking final mercy, told the unfiltered truth.

Seeing him like that, the black warrior muttered in a low voice.

A personal story that cannot be understood from Hector's point of view.

But,

Aside from these details, Hector gave him some hope that those stories came from the Black Champion's mouth.

In any case, it meant that if the other side saw them in a positive way, the chances of their colleagues' survival could also increase.

Hector, having confided everything he had to say, waited for the disposition of the black warrior in front of him.

At this, the black warrior tried to say something in a calm voice.

at that time…

"yes?"

"ね… "

A scene that suddenly began to appear in their eyes.

It was the image of demon soldiers coming from all directions and starting to surround this area.

They arrived with a warrior wearing red armor that they had seen at the match the other day.

The Brave Party, who thought that if they did well, they might be able to save the lives of their colleagues, began to think that the situation had fallen even worse.

'Perhaps that red armor reported it and brought the soldiers...'

'damn… After all, if this happens, there is no way for us to survive, right?'

Thinking that it would be impossible to rely on the mercy of a single black warrior if the soldiers had intervened formally like this, the Braves Party began to feel deep despair as it was.

On the other hand, apart from their thoughts like that.

The black warrior, who was just about to annihilate the guys in the hero party, suddenly appeared with the soldiers and the red armor stopped him.

He expressed slight doubts about the actions of the Demon King.

EP.83 The Demon Lord Is Full of Will

A demon king who suddenly appeared and stopped me.

I felt puzzled by her behavior, but once I made the decision that it was right to follow her judgment as a subject, I stepped back.

"The authors are the ones who raided the stadium. Let them all go along."

"I see."

"Catch them. For now, put them in jail until they are dealt with."

"all right."

Not as a Demon King, but as a Demon Warrior who participated in the tournament to the end, and brought the soldiers with him after reporting it.

As such, the demon soldiers dragged the heroes of the party back as they were, and at the same time, Samuel began to follow them.

"First of all, I was the first to discover them, so having them accompany me would be the right answer. I'll be back before my match starts, so I want you to tell me that."

"Okay then."

As they dragged all the heroes' party like that, they disappeared neatly.

As a result, in this place, I and the Demon Lord are wrapped in red armor. Only two were left.

"after… "

The Demon King sighed in relief immediately after confirming that his eyes were gone.

Looking at her like that, I asked a question with some doubts.

"Why did you do that? Anyway, it was a problem that I had to deal with right away, but why did it do that?"

I don't know if the opponent was a demon. They were classified as warriors of the enemy country, and there was no legal problem with the summary execution of the men of the Hero Party who committed crimes.

Nevertheless, the demon king who bothers to gather soldiers and go through the process of additional interrogation and trial.

In this regard, I asked a question out of curiosity…

To my question, the Demon King answered with his characteristic calm voice.

"If I left it alone, wouldn't it be obvious what happened next? Obviously, those guys couldn't save their lives at the hands of the hero. Isn't what Jim said wrong?"

"… How did you know?"

"Didn't you release enough life? Rather, it is strange not to know. Perhaps Shamuel was also noticing her."

"indeed… I tried to hide it, but it seems to have been of no use."

To be honest, I was thinking of wiping them out at once by creating a light atmosphere as if talking with them as much as possible.

Nevertheless, it seemed to me that the momentum to kill them was quite clear from the perspective of the people around me, not the person concerned.

'Honestly, I'm not so used to such detailed work as killing a living.'

In the first place, I thought that both hardware and software were not so good for killing Ki-chik as he was a hero who took a shot and pressed it with force in the first place.

Anyway, apart from that fact, I started talking about my honest truth while looking at the Demon King.

"Yes, I want to kill you.

I did. Not a single one of those damn bastards left, and so be it.

aren't they guys? The monarch of this country and my benefactor... . At the same time, my... There is no need for me to take care of those who tried to touch His Majesty, Yin-in.

Wouldn't there be none at all?"

"… that... that's... "

The Demon King who cannot connect his teeth while trying to respond with a slightly trembling voice to my words.

And after a while, she looked at me with a slightly calmed look and said,

"What… as it is

It's nice to think of you for the first time. But even so, didn't they completely fail? Jim's attacks don't hurt me

Not only that, but Jim's deputy was also unharmed. Of course, they should be punished, but don't you think summary execution is a bit harsh?"

A demon king who speaks in a voice that feels a little awkward.

looking at her like that,

I once again spoke my thoughts unfiltered in a clear voice.

"It doesn't matter whether you fail or succeed. The important thing is that they almost put Soin's most precious person in danger. That alone cannot forgive the former authors."

If a loved one was in danger, it was only natural that his eyes would turn over.

Even more so, if it happened intentionally, it was natural to be outraged.

"Well… "

The Demon King who seemed to be a little embarrassed by my words.

Looking at her like that, I wondered if I was talking too harshly without filtering...

Still, I have no regrets about it or the intention to change my opinion.

As it is my belief that it is always important to protect something precious, I did not intend to back down for expressing this point.

"Anyway…

They got caught with this, so let's wait for disposition first, let's get back to us soon too, just a moment ago

It seems that we need to hurry as the order of confrontation was ours."

"… Okay... all."

The Demon King answered my words with a slightly trembling voice.

Seeing her like that, I smiled lightly, then left the place with the Demon King and started going back to the arena.

at that time…

"I, hero, if it's okay… "

"yes?"

*

A hero who tried to slaughter the members of the Hero Party who were no different than his juniors.

Therefore, the Demon King stopped it for various reasons, along with the thought that things should be solved in accordance with the law, no matter what.

However, at this moment, she did not have only negative thoughts about the hero's actions.

A warrior who expressed his will not to forgive those who tried to harm his lover.

The moment I heard his declaration of determination,

The Demon King immediately began to feel a little pounding.

A hero who declared that he would protect her no matter what.

A similar oath of allegiance to the Demon King, the monarch of this country, had been heard so many times that it was tiresome, but the present declaration was approaching her with a completely different feeling from those stories.

Not the Demon King as a monarch,

The words of the hero to protect the demon king as his lover.

Unlike other oaths of allegiance, the story came to me as if it were strongly pierced into the heart of the Demon King for some reason.

'what? This feeling... I'm not used to it, but... no wonder… I'm a little happy... '

A feeling that is deep in your heart that you can feel for a moment.

Recognizing that, the Demon King suddenly began to feel something like a small desire blooming in his heart.

Even the Demon King could not figure out why such a feeling had arisen, or what it was specifically.

However, apart from that fact, at this moment, the Demon King decided to act according to the voice of his heart.

That's right...

"Warrior… If it's okay... "

A momentary strong sense of shame.

A heart pounding that makes it impossible to raise your head even though your body is covered with red armor.

However, even in this trembling, the demon king overcame it and acted.

Her tenacity, which was driven by her will rather than her emotions, shined again in this situation.

"Can you catch me… will there be Jim's hand... "

"yes?"

A hero who reacts slightly surprised by the Demon King's words.

The moment he heard his words, the Demon King, who had pushed the story up to this point, felt his emotions momentarily intensified and began to talk as if he were making excuses.

"this… this is… just like that After all, it is quite a distance to the stadium, so why not go together? under… But there will be a lot of people along the way, so in the sense of not breaking up... "

"…"

"ah… I can't... go?"

A hero who remained silent for a moment at his slightly gibberish words.

At this, the Demon King asked with a trembling voice with his face turned as red as red armor.

and,

Towards such a demon king.

The warrior slowly extended his hand.

"!..."

"ah… Okay. name... I will follow. your majesty."

Even though he was covered with black armor, a voice of shame emanated from within.

At this, the Demon King recognized that the hero in front of him was also nervous just like her, and smiled slightly involuntarily.

and.

"…"

"Ummm… "

The Demon King begins to move slowly while holding the warrior's hand as it is.

Although there were many awkward parts because it was covered with hard metal gloves, nevertheless, at this moment, the demon king could clearly feel the warmth contained in the hand of the hero.

Without seeing each other's reddened faces in the barrel that was covered with armor like that.

The two of them began to return to the arena more slowly than when they came all the way here.

*

"… .Ugh!"

Elisa suddenly came to her senses while she had been on the fence for a while.

Not knowing how much time had passed or what had happened in between, she began to notice what was happening in front of her again, still in her chaotic mood.

"What… what… What is going on now?"

Elisha asks a question while her mind is still not fully recovered.

To this question from her, Samuel, who had returned from time to time and was sitting there, answered with a dry voice.

"Are you awake? As you can see, the hero and the red armor are fighting each other. It's been 10 minutes, and both sides haven't backed down a bit."

"What? 10 minutes? No, what about... "

Two people clashing with their swords against each other and clashing with each other.

Seeing this, Elisha had no choice but to feel a sense of surprise that there were other beings in this world that could compete with that hero by force.

The tension and trembling of the hero can be felt even from a fairly long distance.

At the same time, I felt a similar feeling to the red armor that was facing it. Elisha automatically began to feel doubts about the identity of that red armor.

At this moment, without even thinking about how the parties are fighting the battle...

EP.84 A fierce battle that makes you sweat?

The demon king and the hero who somehow solved the case and started the confrontation that had been interrupted again.

However, at this moment, it was difficult in many ways to engage in a serious confrontation, perhaps because of the aftermath of the two of them holding hands while coming here.

'damn… No matter how much the match is, it feels so strange... Wielding her sword with all her might to her lover. And that's the case with the person who was holding his hand before... '

'Why? This feeling is haunting me. Obviously, Jim participated in this event because he wanted to face the sword formally with the hero... Why on earth are you feeling such hesitation now?'

Even at this moment, looking at the person in front of them, they were two people whose heart was pounding just by itself.

In this situation, where only the thought of wanting to hold hands again, as before, if possible, a normal confrontation was psychologically impossible, it could be said that it was practically impossible.

However, that doesn't mean that you can't stop the confrontation with now.

As a result.

A thought automatically began to pop up in the warrior's head.

'Well... Honestly, would you like to do this? It could be said that he showed his strength enough by lightly beating one of the bodyguards, and if it was the Demon King, he would definitely win the championship without too much trouble.'

Anyway, if it was known externally that he had more power than the Demon King, it was not as good as it was.

A kill that can only be known from the fact that Belzebeauty, who knows this right now, is showing an image of trying to contain the hero.

As a result, the hero decided to lose by dealing with the demon king in moderation at this moment...

This was also the case with the Demon King.

'It's like it's already been decided for a hero to win the championship... As long as Jim has no reason to be greedy for Narsil, there is no need for him to stand out here."

The two of them ended up giving each other a loss.

And as a result…

-Gang!!!!!

As soon as the confrontation started, the two men clashed their swords with moderate strength.

But at that moment.

The two men, who had been trained to the limit of nothingness, could recognize it at once.

'!.. this… This… '

'My lord... no way?'

A fact that I could recognize the moment I faced the sword.

that… The point was that the opponent's sword now had a clear will not to attack the opponent, rather than feelings such as a will or desire to win.

Although the fundamental fighting power of the two was so great, in the eyes of others, it was so powerful that a shock wave of magical power was felt.

But,

apart from this appearance.

The two people who were actually the parties were able to recognize one fact through the sword attack containing the other's 'heart'.

It means that this person in front of you right now is thinking the same as you.

'is it… Not only was I the only one who thought so, but the Demon Lord... '

'Is that the same... Warrior. you too... '

On the surface, the two are engaged in a tight battle with their swords facing each other.

However, at this moment, the parties were feeling a deep sense of shame as their faces covered with helmets were blushing.

A person with whom you have a crush on your heart is thinking the same thing as you and is trying to do the same thing as you.

Just that alone, the two felt as if their hearts were connected to each other.

The swords of two people in a state of being almost completely stationary while maintaining a moderate balance.

The power of the other party conveyed in it was giving a sense of sweet love by itself.

'Something… This feeling... How can I feel this good even when I'm just holding my swords against each other... '

'It is said that when you fight between warriors, you feel the communion of souls... Maybe it has something to do with it.'

So, I don't know the exact reason, but the two of them started to feel very happy at this moment.

So, for about 10 minutes, they wrote a battle of strength and continued what could be called a friendly skinship…

As the two men continued the 'tight battle of strength and pride between warriors' for about 10 minutes, the audience automatically felt a sweat in their hands.

"It's a great spirit… I can't believe it's been holding on for more than 10 minutes while radiating this kind of power... "

"Even Nyathan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is a victorious warrior. If the power of the opposing party is equal to that, it would be natural if this level was natural."

Two commanders of the corps watch the battle between the two from one side of the arena.

Elias and Samson.

They were showing serious expressions as they watched the clash between the two powerful men that continued more fiercely than they could have imagined.

However, it did not contain merely appreciation for the clash of powers between the two.

Unlike other demons, these two people have a more in-depth look at the situation.

In their heads, there were secrets that only a handful of people in the stadium knew.

"The feeling is a little different from the armament… If it were a strong person with that kind of power, would it be him?"

"I can't think of anyone other than him. Because there is only one person in this Demon Kingdom who can make fun of things that even us consider unreasonable."

"I really… Whatever it is, I hope you will play a prank like this."

Immediately after hearing the threefold confirmation, Elias frowned and shook his head slowly.

Samson said to her with a small smile on his lips.

"It cannot be seen as a simple joke. Even though he looks like that, he is also a warrior before being a monarch of a country. It may not be natural to enjoy fighting the strong."

"… Well, if it were you, that would be the correct answer... But honestly, I'm worried. His body is not alone."

"It's like

It's called overprotection. No matter how young I am, my lungs... sound... I've seen him, but you're always too worried. frankly

His skill has now risen to a level incomparable to yours."

"ha… That's it too, but... "

Elias sighed a little at Samson's words, but still watched the fierce confrontation in front of him with a worried gaze.

Seeing her like that, Samson smiled slightly involuntarily.

'But what... Personally, I like you quite a bit, though. The world calls it kindness.'

*

A time of communion under the guise of a battle of strength with the Demon King.

It wasn't intentional, but I thought about this time that felt sweeter than I imagined, and I wanted to keep doing it if I could.

As if in response to this, the Demon King is also controlling his power over time, so I knew that this could continue for a while.

To be honest, the question of 'how will this confrontation end in the end?' was a bit of a labyrinth, but I stopped thinking about how it could be done in the end.

So, it was at that time when the match was completely postponed and she and I continued to fight back and forth.

- Kaduk!

"yes?"

"uh?"

In an instant, a sharp sound in our ears.

At this, me and the Demon King felt a little ominous for a moment, and we started to think that we should stop here for a while.

By the way…

- Clang!!!

"oh!..."

"ah… ."

A sudden and unexpected event.

It was like the sword the demon king was holding had been broken in vain.

"This… what is this… "

I showed my embarrassment as it was in an unexpected situation, but soon I was able to recognize the reason without difficulty.

This sword I am currently holding was the very famous sword that the Demon King gave me.

It can split even any amount of steel like tofu, and it also possesses a strength that can't be resisted even with my immense magical power.

In addition, due to the nature of the weapon called the greatsword, it is a bonus that it does not have good durability.

On the other hand, the demon king's weapon against such a great sword was nothing more than a very simple iron sword, not a great sword.

As a body disguised as a disguise, the current demon king had to be armed with relatively inexpensive equipment rather than the strongest weapons he normally used, so this is an unavoidable situation.

In this situation,

no matter which

Although he cares about it, the iron sword that was attacked by the two of us, who has power far beyond ordinary people, has long been

It could be said that it was only natural that he could not stand it.

-"The winner is the black warrior!"-

So, the battle between me and the Demon King ended with a deeper regret than I had expected.

But immediately after that,

The Demon King spoke in a small voice in my ear as he went down from the arena.

"If it's okay… Let's do it again later... "

"!... ah… Yes. egg… I will."

"Huh… "

After such a small laugh, the Demon King left the arena, and seeing her back like this, I had no choice but to blush for a moment and feel dazed.

It's as if you've just lost the last match.

Is the EP.85 final full of misunderstandings?
