chapter 27
In the hand of the demon king, there was an arm that had lost its owner.
Looking at the familiar arm, Low recalled a familiar sensation one step ahead of the pain.
There must have been a memory of something like this happening recently, but a woman’s face flashed through Rowe’s mind like a pole lamp.
‘Aeris…’
Aerith, a saint of the Empire and the agent of the benevolent goddess loved and respected by all.
Although she had not yet reached the age of an adult, she was chosen as a saint and was recognized for her ability and character.
There were not only two men in the Empire who fell in love with her, and Lowe also had a special interest in her at that time.
So, a few months ago, I wanted to get to know her, so I forced myself into a dungeon raid.
I was trying to show off my cool side. As we got closer, I wished that she would come to the party as an opportunity.
was that so He set foot in an unmarked dungeon classified as a forbidden area.
It was an unexplored area, and there were those who entered, but no one came out, so even the guild was the kind that gave up on attacking and searching.
In front of the unknown place, some party members, including Aerith, asked to return to stop the attack.
However, the decision was solely up to the party leader, and the choice rested with Lowe.
In the end, his impure greed makes the worst choice that day.
And the price of that greed had to be paid by Saint Aerith, not anyone else.
– aa
A lump of meat fell to the floor with Aerith’s scream.
The party members, including Lowe, just watched the scene with empty faces.
They reached a state of incapacity for the party by the executive who was hiding in the dungeon.
Most of them were exhausted and fainted, and none were seriously injured, but not as much as Aerith.
– Uh-huh, aa
The screams of a saint are heard. A terrifying voice escaped from her delicate mouth, where every word was like the sound of a song.
Her arm, which she thought was the most perfect creature God had ever created, was invisible. Her severed arm fell to the floor and became a mere chunk of meat.
She, who seemed to live on only dew every day, struggles and looks unsightly. He knelt down with tears in his eyes, unable to bear the pain.
Seeing her like that, the Demon King asked Rowe once again with a suspicious face before leaving.
– You guys. Is that woman really the hero Lowe?
Ah, what did I say to that answer back then?
When Lowe recalled that far, he could finally comprehend her pain.
“aah! My arm, my arm!!”
Lowe, who had lost his arm, rolled his eyes and screamed.
In an instant, it was so far away that I felt like I was tickling my brain.
He was so insane that he didn’t even know he was alive.
He just got down on his knees and looked up at the sky and was busy crying like a madman.
“aah!!”
Lost arm abandoned on the floor. A hero in pain, pouring out blood like a fountain. And the demon king looking down on him.
At that nightmare sight, others, as well as Nike, who was full of confidence, couldn’t help but tremble.
“Ah, noisy.”
Perok- Lucia furrowed her brow and shoved her on the shoulder.
Then Lowe rolled her eyes and had a seizure.
“Ugh, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…”
While Lowe foamed and rolled on the floor, no one spoke.
Even his teacher, Ashua, was mesmerized by the unrealistic sight.
Aurelia called out his name with a dreamy face.
“Lo, Roe?”
“Keep, Kuk, Kuk, Heo Uh Uhh…”
“Well, what are you doing? Are you kidding me now? low!!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!”
But all that came back was a strange scream.
“I kept my promise, now it’s my turn to do my favor.”
Having said that, Lucia glanced at the humans in front of her.
In those relaxed and arrogant eyes, everyone froze as if frozen in place.
“Obviously she said she was blonde… Then what?”
Lucia’s gaze stopped at Aurelia, who was blonde.
Then, ignoring Lowe at her feet, she slowly walked towards her.
“No, stop….”
Realizing that she was aiming at her, Aurelia barely licked her lips.
“What are you doing, stop it now!!”
And soon after, he shouted out to the surroundings.
But no one was moving. He was just chasing Lucia with terrified eyes.
“What are you doing, you idiots! You don’t protect me quickly!!”
Aurelia gave her orders, but no one followed.
What can they do at this point in time when all they do is get scratched even after being attacked by them, and Lowe, the strongest human being, is in vain.
The warrior party and the will of the knights had long since been lost.
Only one. Except for Ashuaman.
“aah”
As if to shake off his fear, he burst into rage and rushed to Lucia.
And she swung her sword faster than ever before, towards her neck, but Lucia’s hand was several times faster than that.
pooh-
“Kuh huh!”
The sound of something sharp piercing the flesh. With that disgusting sound, Ashua’s body slowly collapsed.
His sword fell to the floor without reaching Lucia’s neck.
A fight that ended in vain without even swinging the sword properly. Ashua looked up at her in disbelief.
“But you are. Why do you keep pretending to be close?”
But Lucia didn’t even pay attention to him until the very end.
*
This can’t be. Ashua looked at her pierced stomach and thought so.
Five years ago, I wasn’t so desperate. No, wasn’t it a much more favorable condition now compared to then?
At that time, there were only six people sealed, but this time there were only four warriors, and the number of talented people here alone exceeded a hundred.
Besides, since I’ve already sealed it once, I didn’t have to worry too much.
Even when everyone was busy moving around in fear, Ashua took his time in a leisurely manner, listening to Lowe’s concerns.
But the results were futile and even ridiculous.
Rowe, who succeeded Cael, had his arm torn off without even swinging a sword, and the one who sealed the Demon King even had his stomach pierced.
The two men, who were the greatest strength of this operation, were defeated at once.
Even so, Lucia was in trouble, messing with the hair of a sheep that had accidentally stepped on an ant.
“Oh, I finally killed him. It’s because you’re so annoying!”
Lucia uttered an unfamiliar sound, but Ashua couldn’t afford to listen.
I just prayed that this pain that I couldn’t even scream would go away.
Fear and pain that I have never experienced in my life. I couldn’t get used to it and my whole body trembled like convulsions.
Seeing the intestines pouring out of the ship, Ashua felt death at the moment.
‘Lord, are you going to die? Am I being so useless as a hero?’
Ashua couldn’t quite comprehend the current situation.
‘Where the hell did it go wrong?’
He looked up at the Demon King in front of him.
It certainly wasn’t so overwhelming five years ago. Did he even become stronger while sealed?
Otherwise, I could not accept this situation in front of my eyes.
Even then, it was difficult, but the difference in skills wasn’t that great.
Obviously, with Kael at the forefront, he and other colleagues sealed it together.
Of course, it was hard, but no one was seriously injured except for Cael.
Yes, except for Cael…

kael?
‘By the way, was there any other colleague who hit the demon king with a valid blow other than Kael?’
Ashua raised an objection to the question that suddenly crossed his mind.
It was the same thing Serin realized a while ago when she was fighting Kael.
The illusion that the six of us joined forces to seal the Demon King. The delusion that his role contributed to the fight.
Because he took his gaze and made a gap, Kael was able to insert the holy sword into his heart.
In this way, they reconstructed the battle of the day to their liking.
Unknowingly, they had been manipulating reminiscent memories to their advantage.
And it was only when he died that Ashua realized it too.
“Ahhh…”
Ashua’s heartbreaking voice burst out with seething blood.
Ashua blamed Aurelia for betraying him and himself for falling for the scheme.
“Sa, I want to live…”
It was okay to have a limb amputated, or to lose all honor and fame.
I just didn’t want to die in a place like this.

kael, where is Kael now?
It was not ‘we’ that sealed the Demon King. Kael was alone.
Only you can save yourself now.
So I want to apologize. I want to ask for forgiveness. I had to ask for forgiveness directly from him, not from the goddess or anyone else.
I just realized I just realized it! Why do my eyes keep closing?
‘Anyway, I’ll come back alive. Even if it’s only me, somehow…’
Even at the expense of the other guys around or Aurelia!
But while he was rolling his head, the demon lord had already put his finger on his forehead.
Ashua felt intuitively that it was death.
His eyes reflexively turned to Lowe, hoping for someone’s help.
‘Yes, Rowe! Did Roy really get hurt? Maybe it was some kind of operation…’
But there was no reversal in the place I looked forward to.
It was because his appearance was too ugly to hold hope for Low, who suffered more than himself.
Ah, why did you see a guy like that on top of Kael?
It was then that Ashua realized that there was no salvation anywhere.
‘Oh God. Please, please, give me one more chance. Please have mercy on me so I can survive here! Anyone is welcome, please!’
Have you ever wanted to live life like this?
However, it was not God’s mercy that stood before him, but the cold hand of the Demon King.
Ashua shed tears with self-helpful laughter.
I want to live, I want to live, I want to live like crazy! Please, anyone is fine, so save me-
“Well, at least one person will understand, even Cael.”
“Sa, save me…….”
Duck-
The back story did not follow.
Instead, the sound of cracking flesh and bones. With pain he had never felt before, Ashua was forever engulfed in regret.
