The most respected person of the empire who saved the world from the demon king and who is also recognized as the holy warrior of the goddess. Currently, I am the intruder who is trying to escape from the hero after failing to assassinate her when she was sleeping in her house or should I say curch. But I know that I can't escape from that monster of a woman. Even if I escape luckily where should I go and try to hide. The organization will definitely try to kill me after they hear that I failed to assassinate the hero. "I said stop,you damn bastard" was the hero saying to me without stopping her chase. Well the only person who fought and killed the demon king will of course be that strong.
Hero pov:
I am sure the aura I sensed was that person's. But why is he here? Wasn't he supposed to be dead? I need to see his face to identify him. I need to see see see see see see see see see him. I already have despaired numerous times after seeing his dead body. I thought I could never see him again. But here he is alive and in good health. I am not going to allow him to escape my grasp again. My head is overflowing with questions. Why did he betray us,why is he alive etc. But that doesn't matter right now.
I am going to capture him right here right now.
"Hey,Paladin Stein secure all the escape routes of the church and surround the whole place. Even an ant shouldn't be allowed to escape from here. Also, under no circumstances you should try to kill the intruder. Did you understand ?"
"Roger, hero".
I think he has grown more strength. I don't think that I can capture him without the holy sword. I took my knife and cut my forehead using it. Blood overflowed from my wound but I didn't care about it.
"Take my blood and lifespan as sacrifice let Ezmeltina appear, my goddess."
White bright light overflooded my eyes as a sword appeared. The moment I grasped the red hilt of the sword,power that was gone after killing the demon king awakened in my body. After stabilizing it I stopped running and stood in my position marking his ankles carefully because I didn't want to injure him gravely. Standing there I just normally swinged my sword using aura and a red bright slashed his legs.
Assassin's pov:
"Damn it, I am surely dead." This thought entered my brain upon seeing the bright light of the holy sword. Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why?? Did the organization betray me? I am sure she was supposed to lost her holy sword after defeating the demon king. Why is it in her hands? I increased my running speed but it was all futile in front of absolute strength. It slashed my legs as I fell upon my mouth. I shivered because she didn't even use any of her techniques. Was I always that weak? Damn it,you monster.
(Everyâ˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘isâ˘â˘â˘toâ˘â˘â˘â˘an)
What was that?
Who is speaking in my head?
Damn it. I can't even hear the voice fully because of the pain. Is this it? Am I destined to die here in the hands of that monster of a woman? The steps of the hero Is echoing in this huge church.
"Why did you betray me"? said the hero.
What the heck is that insane woman saying. I betrayed her?? When did I ever betray her?
"Sorry but I am seeing you first time today. Aren't you misunderstanding something here?" I answered her question with a question of mine.
Hero pov:
Seeing his confused eyes trying to recognize me, I also fell into confusion that if I was wrong. Nope I can't be wrong. His red eyes, voice, face , scent , behavior is all the same as I knew. As I saw his face I broke into tears because he doesn't remember me. As I got closer to him to examine his body I felt the damn smell of demons. After touching his body I felt so much rage towards the necromancer king that could burn the world to hell. The only demon I couldn't kill during the war is using my beloved to harm me. I couldn't even dare to believe it. Won't my suffering ever end? Is goddess testing me with this? What did I ever do to deserve this?? As I fell into thought I hardened my resolve and smiled towards him. As I can't save him anymore I will give him a painless death and fucking kill that necromancer bastard. I grasped my sword with trembling hands and beheaded him with my sword laughing and crying at the same time.
Assassin's pov:
I saw the hero crying then laughing then again crying. As I saw her doing that I thought that maybe she had gone crazy. I accepted my death slowly after seeing no way to escape from her. Soon she held her sword and beheaded me as I saw her crying and laughing at the same time. The last thought that racked my brain was that how can she laugh and cry at the same time. She is crazy, isn't she??
Paladin pov:
We Paladins were surprised as a intruder tried to kill the hero but as always the hero subdued him. We were ordered to stand in barracks as we waited for the hero. The noisy barracks went silent upon seeing the hero entering. We all became astonished as we heard the hero's orders. We have to again venture into the hellish terrain of the demon realm in order to kill the hidden necromancer king the right hand of the demon king. As the current empire was filled with peace many Paladins didn't want to return to that hellish terrain.
As The hero told us that she will go alone if we didn't want to go and it was okay to defy her orders. Because it was her selfish wish to kill that necromancer king. As we looked at her we became scared. The bloodshot eyes and her despaired look was something we Paladins will never forget until we die.
At the same time something that shouldn't happen began to start. In deep darkness at a certain place in front of a girl something began to wriggle. Starting from head a person's body started to began regenerating. After some time a brand new body of a certain man was created. The girl started to chant ancient language that shouldn't have existed in the current era. Suddenly the man opened his eyes and stood up. Seeing the laughing girl he also smirked slightly and said,
"All according to plan".
