The mermaid queen launched the master aura spear at Pete,
Fear emerged from deep within Pete as he saw the massive spear coming towards him,
He was going to manifest dark energy swords but the spear's speed was so fast that it instantly reached in front of Pete,
At the heat of the moment, Pete's instinct awakened and he puts his sword forward to block the spear,
The spear collided with the sword generating a shockwave which sent Pete flying away before he crashed into the wall,
The queen turned behind and saw the corpses of mermaids that were hit by the dark energy sword,
The queen clenched her spear with anger and said,
"How dare you kill my subordinates "
Pete stood up and saw the master aura spear aiming towards him,
But the spear was smaller than before as the dark energy had already entered it and was consuming it,
Pete coughed out some blood and said,
"My sword is still stronger than your spear "
The queen was also surprised by this and said,
"What have you done to my aura spear "
The size of the master aura spear is decreasing with every second,
Pete channeled his aura on the sword and manifested dark energy swords and said,
"It's time to end this "
Pete shot the dark energy swords towards the queen but the queen blocked it by her master aura spear,
The dark energy entered the master aura spear again and the absorption rate higher,
The master aura spear completely vanished after some time and the dark energy returned back to the dark holy sword,
The queen said,
"What have you done to my aura spear "
Pete said,
"This is the power of the holy sword "
The queen noticed the ominous energy from the sword at that moment and said,
"No that can't be the holy sword... that thing is more ominous then the unholy demon sword "
Pete smiled and said,
"Don't try to deceive me "
The queen thought,
'If I can get my hands on his sword, I can even rule the demon kingdom'
She threw her spear away kneeled and started crying,
Pete looked at the queen with disbelief,
He walked up to her and said,
"Why are you crying? "
The women grabbed Pete's leg and cried more loudly while saying,
"Please don't kill me... I was forced by the demon king to attack this city "
Pete sheathed his sword and helped the queen in standing up,
The queen wiped her tears and said,
"You won't kill me, right... "
Pete nodded and said,
"Don't worry if you were forced to attack the city, then I won't kill you "
The queen saw the chance and grabbed the dark holy sword then kicked Pete away,
Pete flew up couple of meters away before hitting a wall and coughing up blood,
"Hahahaha... " The mermaid queen began laughing as Pete stood up,
Pete said,
"What are you doing? give me back my sword "
The Queen said,
"I didn't took it to give it away... Now I will rule the world with this sword "
Pete said,
"That's the holy sword, nobody except the hero can wield it "
The queen said,
"You can't fool me... this sword cannot be the holy sword "
"It's emitting so much ominous energy, it will be the next unholy sword "
Pete charged toward her with his fist ready topunch her but the queen caught his punch and kicked Pete away,
She said,
"The mermaids will rule the world with this sword "
She then unsheathed the sword,
Dark energy entered her body as soon as the sword gets out of the sheath,
The dark energy started consuming her aura at an alarming rate,
The queen looked at Pete with frightened eyes,
She was about to say something but her soul was absorbed by the dark holy sword before she could say a single word,
Her body fell down on the ground lifelessly,
Pete walked up to her and picked up the sword and sheathed it,
Amira also walked up to him and said,
"Did we win? "
Pete nodded and said,
"Yes, we won... but we have to clear the monsters outside the city too "
Amira nodded and they headed to the city gates,
In the demon kingdom, Inside a castle room,
The wife of the late demon lord was sitting in a luxurious chair surrounded by female demon maids,
She suddenly stood up and tears falling from her eyes,
She ordered a maid,
"Go inform the 9 sisters that the 11th sister is also killed in the human territory "
The maid quickly went out of the room with a shocked expression on her face,
She said after the maid left,
"Just who is strong enough to kill the 11th wife of the late demon lord "
Outside the seaport city,
Pete was killing the remaining monster with the knights,
Some monsters ran away but Pete and the knights killed all the remaining monsters before night fell,
After that Pete, Amira and the knights gathered at the city gate,
The knight captain said,
"Let's spend the night in the city lord's castle "
Pete nodded and they all went to the city lord's castle while the city lord's daughter was carried by a knight,
They puts her in the bed and the knights began preparing the food,
They ate dinner and everyone went to a room to rest,
Pete has used a lot of aura so he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed,
Inside the soul space,
Morsh was still absorbing the souls,
His eyes were open and he had a bored expression on his face,
"This is hell... I don't even know what time is it or how many days has passed "
"But if my guess is correct, then it would take me a month to completely absorb all of the souls "
Outside the soul space,
Pete was sleeping soundly,
In the morning he woke up from the sound of a girl crying,
He got out of the bed, came outside and saw the city lord's daughter crying next to the city lord's corpse,
Amira was consoling her,
Pete got out of the castle and heard crying of the citizens who were lucky enough to survive,
With all the mourning around him, his eyes also got teary,
Pete quickly returned to the castle,
The knights buried the city lord in the afternoon,
They then had lunch together and the knights started their preparations to leave,
The city lord's daughter came up to Pete and said,
"Thankyou hero for saving me... the knights told me everything about how you saved me from the monsters "
Pete said with a heroic expression on his face,
"I was only doing my duty as a hero "
Tears started falling from the girl's eyes,
Pete quickly hugged her and said,
"Don't worry, everything will be fine "
The girl sobbingly said,
"I want to take revenge on the demon lord for my father and the citizens, please let me accompany you, hero "
Pete nodded and said,
"If you want to, you can accompany me "
The girl stopped crying and said,
"Oh. I forgot to introduce myself "
She took a few steps back, bowed and said,
"My name is Leona, I am the daughter of the late city lord "
"Please take good care of me sir hero "
Pete said,
"Just call me Pete "
Leona nodded and said,
"Then I will call you Pete from now on "
Amira walked in at that moment and said,
"You sure are a womanizer "
Pete frowned when he heard this,
Leona saw Pete's reaction and quickly grabbed Pete's arm and showed her tongue to Amira and said,
"Don't be jealous... Pete likes me more than you "
Amira said,
"I heard from some surviving soldiers that you cried for a knight yesterday and now you are in the arms of another man"
Pete said,
"Hey I already gave you a warning, don't slander her otherwise I will lock you in a cell "
Leona's face has turned red with anger and she said,
"How could I not cry for a knight that died defending me "
"A bitch like you would never understand that "
Amira smiled and said,
"Oww... did I make the bitch angry... owww... do you want the hero to please you now "
Leona's walked up to Amira and slapped her and sent Amira flying before she hits the wall,
She was a first rate warrior and Amira was just a healer so it was easy for her to send Amira flying,
The knights quickly drew their sword at Leona and the knight captain said,
"How dare you hit the Saintes, I will personally punish you to death for this crime "
Leona's eyes widened as she realized what she has done in anger,
Pete stood in front of her and said to the knight captain,
"She has joined my party, so can you please let it go for my sake "
The knight captain said,
"This is not up to me now... if the temple decides to hold a grudge for this then even sir hero can't get out of this easily "
Pete said,
"I am a hero, they will not do anything rash, they need me "
The knight captain said,
"They have the ownership of your holy sword and they can confiscate it "
Pete said,
"But the holy sword belongs to the hero "
The captain said,
"No, the goddess gave the holy sword to the temple and the temple only lends it until the hero kills the demon lord "
"After that he have to return the sword to the temple "
Pete was surprised when he heard this and said,
"How can this be... what if a hero don't want to return it? "
The knight captain said,
"After the hero defeats the demon lord, the goddess's blessing automatically removes from the hero's body and he can't even unsheathe the holy sword "
"Also the temple can summon another hero and announce you as a criminal and after summoning another hero, they can pray the goddess and she can take away the holy sword from you "
Pete face was turning pale as he thought,
'So I am disposable? '
Amira stood up at that moment, chanted a healing spell on her and said,
"Knights, arrest the hero and that girl "
Pete said,
"Don't listen to her, she is enslaved "
Amira said,
"So the hero is even slandering me for the sake of that girl "
Pete said,
"Hey, let's just forget about this for the sake of our friendship "
Amira said,
"She slapped me and you want me to just forget it? "
Leona was hiding behind Pete and watching everything with fearful expression on her face,
The knight captain said to Amira,
"Saintes, the people will suffer if you fight so please choose a punishment for her and let the go "
Amira nodded and said,
"A slap for a slap, but she is a first rate warrior and my slap wouldn't affect her "
"So I want the hero to slap her with the same strength she slapped me "
