chapter 95
95 – Bloody Battle
Karen, who was retreating the lord and soldiers from the Kamar Fortress through a secret passage,
He took the exit some distance from the fort and looked around the fort.
The fireballs constantly pouring down from the sky were causing huge explosions every time they hit the ground.
If the firepower was so great, the smell of the countless Imperial troops and undead dying around the fortress would spread to this place.
She also had a fear of her hero during her Demon King’s days.
Starting with Ascalon’s reputation that she made it from the heart of a fire dragon, she had seen the corpses of demon kings killed by the flames of Ascalon countless times.
Shouldn’t it be fortunate that if you die from burns, even the body can be recovered?
Most of the bodies of demons killed by that Ascalon were turned into powder beyond recognition.
“As expected… The real hero has arrived.”
A word mixed with admiration from the lord who was watching from the side…
It was the first time in her life that she had seen such powerful magic, even though she too had spent her youth on the battlefield.
“For now, get out of here. Because the Demon King’s army could come this way.”
“Yes.”
After taking the lord and the soldiers to their destination, Karen’s mission was almost over.
But…
“Who is this? Is one of our dogs here too?”
Hearing her neutral voice, which made her annoyed just by hearing it, Karen slowly looked back at her.
“It’s been a while. Karen?”
How they chased after passing through the explosion area, the Four Heavenly Kings, Balak, were wearing the imperial army uniform instead of the usual demon army armor.
“Balach….”
“Oh~ You recognize me? I even disguised myself to disguise myself.”
“No matter how good your disguise is, you can’t hide that typical chubby voice.”
“Ohhhhh~ Has our Karen talked more? Does she know how to say that? Did you stay quiet after being beaten by me before? Maybe?”
Sureung!
Karen drew her sword from her own belt and aimed at her ballark,
Watching Karen like that, Ballack smiled like he was having fun and walked around.
“Heh… No way… Karen? You don’t think you can kill me, do you?”
“Even if it doesn’t kill, won’t it do some damage? For example, making them eunuchs?”
Hearing Karen’s words, Ballack seemed to be in a bad mood and couldn’t control his anger, turning his head around.
In the meantime, Karen talked to the lord.
“I will be in charge of the Four Heavenly Kings, so run away quickly.”
“Ha.. But… then your life will be..”
“Shouldn’t at least one person survive?”
The lord could tell the level difference between the two through his long battle experience.
Even if Karen, who came to save them, is strong, she is no match for the Four Heavenly Kings…
Fahah!!! Kang!!
In place of Balak, who was constantly on guard, Karen attempted an attack first,
Embarrassed by the sudden attack, Ballark hurriedly raised his sword to block her attack and quickly evaded her body.
Attack speed… And even the ability to block surprise…
Karen was a bit stunned by Ballark’s abilities, which certainly surpassed her own, but she started to run away after the lord and other soldiers…
She had to keep this position no matter what.
Because I made a promise with the hero…
“Oh! It’s a surprise! Are you sure your agility has increased compared to before?”
“…..”
Pot! PABABABABAAT!!
Karen used her own quick wits to attack Balak, and Ballach swung her sword around to block her attack, clearing her of everything.
Perhaps Karen was grateful for this situation…
Unlike the other Four Heavenly Kings, Balach did not carry a demonic sword.
Maybe that’s why people didn’t catch me even though I was a new hero, but
Anyway, it was fortunate for Karen, who was dealing with Ballack.
“Oh… Karen… this is your problem..”
“…..”
“The attack speed and quickness are fast…But there is no strength. Strength.”
As Balach said, he suddenly struck Karen’s sword hard and knocked it out of her hand.
“Oh, oh, oh, is it going to be decided already?”
Surprised by her moment, Karen tried to give her her own sword, which fell on the floor, but it was already after Ballach’s sword was close to her neck.

“How.. You guys are here…?”
They appeared behind the Demon King Asmodeus…
They were none other than former warrior party members.
Saint Emilia who continues to treat the demon lord, Lydia who installed a barrier to prevent me from approaching during the treatment, and Illuen who is aiming her bow at me…
All of them were acting hostile towards me, a hero, not befitting the name of a former warrior party member.
“Emilia! What is this!”
I shouted at Emilia, who was treating the demon king by his side, but
She continued to treat the demon lord without the slightest movement.
“Lydia! Iluen! Speak up! Why are you guys by the demon lord’s side!”
“……”
They don’t even budge at my words…
“It is useless. Warrior. They are already mine.”
“What?”
“Because of my mind control magic, they are no longer a warrior party, but a demon lord party.”
After listening to the demon lord’s words, let’s look at their faces once, starting with the unfocused eyes and the lifeless faces…
Obviously it seemed normal, but there seemed to be a problem.
Chuck!
First of all, I tried to break the curse magic hanging over them with the holy sword.
“I wouldn’t do that. Warrior.”
“…..?”
“Because if someone other than the magician misuses my mind-altering magic, my mind might collapse.”
I had to withdraw the sword again before I even tried using the holy sword’s ability to break simple curse magic, although not as much as the saintess.
Of course, Asmodeus’ words could be lies, but from his eyes, it didn’t look like lies.
A very confident face…
A face that tells you to try it if you want to try it…
“Now then, shall we go into the main game?”
As the demon king finished his speech, he created this space and put his hand in it to pull something out.
“Do you remember this sword? Warrior?”
The sword that Asmodeus pulled out…
It was a sword I knew very well…
The demonic sword that had disappeared with the death of the previous demon king was now reappearing in front of my eyes.
“Then let’s go in.”
Asmodeus finished his words and terribly charged at me…
Kang!!! Bang!!!!
Every time the holy sword and his demonic sword collided, the surrounding trees were shaking wildly due to vibrations that seemed to shake the earth’s axis and waves emanating from both blades.
Kang!!!! Kang!!!!
I only changed one demonic sword…
The skill of the opponent has definitely changed…
But…
However, he did not become my opponent.
Push!!!
Just like before, Asmodeus, who had raised his sword thinking that they were about to meet each other, took aim at the gap and stabbed him.
“Heuk!!!”
Let’s spit out blood along with a short moan from the demon king’s mouth,
The demon king’s body suddenly begins to glow…
Behind the scenes, the saintess Emilia was casting healing magic on the demon lord.
“hahahaha, why do you look so flustered?”
“……”
If it wasn’t for Emilia…
No…
It would be worth dealing with even one Lydia…
No matter how strong a saintess’ healing power is, it takes time for her to fully heal…
If I attacked again in the meantime, it could have resulted in fatal serious injury or even death.
“Do you understand now? Why did the former warriors always bring the warrior party with them?”
“…..”
Certainly, if I continue like this, I could lose…
I didn’t even want to kill the former warrior party members with my own hands.
If I could just kill the demon king like this, it would be the way I want the most…
“Come on! Enter again! Warrior!”
Bang!!!!!
I blocked it by blocking his surprise attack…
With the sudden explosion, my body flew back as it was, and Asmodeus took advantage of the gap and flew terribly to attack me.
Kang!!! Can-can-can-can!!!!
The battle between the two continued in the air…
Certainly, I was the strongest between the demon lord Asmodeus and me.
Even though it seemed like the two of them were attacking equally, my attack was injuring him, but each time his body glowed and received Emilia’s healing magic.
On the other hand, I continued to fight, enduring the wounds I accidentally received,
If we were to face off for such a long time, it was clear that I would be at a disadvantage.
“Let’s keep fighting back! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Evil!
Is it because he cares about not only the demon king but also the girls behind him?
It was an attack from the demon lord that could have been avoided…
I was seriously injured while I was careless, and I sat down on the floor.
Saint… No…
If only Lucia had been by my side…
I wouldn’t have been okay with these injuries and wounds…
As blood gushed out between my fingers as I gripped the wound, I thought of Lucia, who was not here at the moment, but it was meaningless.
