I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero

39 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Journey (12) – Reunion

The circumstances of Mark’s death.

The situation where Mer ran away.

Of course, there was no hope for Raina right now.

The Demon King is a tough opponent even 1:1.

I fought and endured such a demon king and waited for his comrades…

Unfortunately, his colleagues didn’t come, only the Demon King’s subordinates came.

“Keugh…!”

In the end, it became a 3:1 situation.

Rina tried her best in this situation, but…

She couldn’t stand it either.

Boom!!!

Pupperpung!!!

Even though the demon king was just watching, he couldn’t stand Andros and Elina.

The two pushed Raina without rest, and Raina was only busy avoiding and blocking their attacks.

‘Were these guys originally this strong?’

In the meantime, Raina saw Andros and Elina again, but…

‘No… It must have been some kind of magic… Otherwise these guys couldn’t be this strong.’

I couldn’t admit them.

Because it didn’t make sense to be this strong.

It was clear that the demon king had done something…

Because of her own co-workers were beaten.

That’s why Raina was unfair.

She said if it wasn’t for that… She would have won… Herself.

“Hey…!”

But, as if it didn’t matter at all about Raina’s resentment.

Andros and Elina continued to push Raina.

In the end, Raina, who lost all her strength, sat down on the spot.

At this moment, there was no chance that Raina would win.

‘Keuuh… If only I had proper colleagues…’

Again, Raina had no choice but to blame her colleague.

If only I had a really decent colleague…

She could have defeated the demon king…

If Mer and Marc had won and she had a pincer attack with the devil, she would have won.

Why couldn’t I just defeat the former warrior party, and the undead?

As she thought about that, she finally closed her eyes tightly.

Whatever she loses, she loses.

“Kill.”

Originally, the most basic tactic would be to use a scroll and run away in this situation.

Raina didn’t bring her scroll. She

Because she was determined to die, she swore that she would never lose this time.

And because of that, when she is now in such a predicament, there is no escape for her.

She ultimately failed because of her colleagues once again.

Because of that, Rina gave up her own life.

She wasn’t afraid of dying.

“Isn’t she asking for help?”

Looking at Laina like that, the demon king smiled.

Then he looked down at Rina as if teasing and asked a question.

She felt like if she begged for her life, she would spare it.

“Yes. She doesn’t have enough pride to say that.”

Of course, Raina would never beg like that.

She is a woman with pride and self-respect that is greater than anyone else as a warrior, because that was Raina.

She would never beg for her life no matter what.

“Ahahahahaha.”

The demon king burst into laughter when he saw Laina like that.

The reason she laughed so much was because the difference was so great.

Although she doesn’t have the ability, her pride was greater than anyone else’s.

That look was really insignificant.

To the extent that I want to break it.

“Keugh…!”

The demon king began to crush Raina with his magic.

That Maggie, Raina frowned.

Because she was too strong to describe.

And she had a hunch.

Breaking down on this evil spirit, she said that she herself would die.

So calmly, Raina tried to accept her death, but…

“Let me save you.”

Recovered the demonic energy that the demon king exhaled.

And then Rina said something completely unexpected.

“What?”

At those words, Raina’s expression couldn’t help but become quite surprised.

The words that I will save you. It was too inappropriate for a demon king to spit out to a hero.

That’s why she thought she heard it wrong, but Rina…

“Jim said he would spare you.”

She seemed to be serious.

Laina felt that the Demon King did not seem to be lying.

Then why would she say that she would save herself?

Raina thought about him, and she could see why.

“What? Instead of saving me, go under you. Isn’t that what you’re trying to say? I’ll tell you in advance, but I never do that.”

Looks like he’s trying to save his life under some condition.

It was a word that could not have been established otherwise.

So, Raina promised herself that she would never accept any proposal from the Demon King.

“It’s not like that. Let’s just spare it.”

But it wasn’t like that.

The Demon King was really saying that he would save himself.

Without any cost.

“…?”

And as if those words weren’t false, Elina and Andros, who were on guard by Raina’s side, stepped aside from her side.

As if he wasn’t interested anymore.

Rina was dumbfounded at that appearance.

“Why are you saving me?”

And she wondered.

About why he was saving himself.

Is there any reason?

While she was thinking about that, she asked the demon king.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

The demon king answered with a smile.

“Because it’s better for Jim to let you live.”

“…?”

Raina could not understand at all what the demon king said as if it were natural.

She couldn’t understand why it was advantageous to keep herself alive as a hero.

However, she soon understood.

I perfectly understood what the demon king was saying to me.

“Now… Are you ignoring me now?”

Raina’s face turned red.

As soon as I understood what the demon king was saying, his expression twisted with anger.

Her really indescribable rage took over her.

The only reason he saved his life from an enemy…

Her rage, wanting to destroy her demon lord at any moment, controlled her.

I wanted to destroy the demon king right in front of me.

“I will definitely… Make you regret it…!”

But, unfortunately, she had no strength right now.

Because she was a loser now.

No matter how much the loser curses, the winner won’t listen.

“Let me look forward to it.”

The demon king went back into the demon castle.

Only Rina was left alone.

“Damn!!!!”

Left alone, Raina hit the floor with a ‘bang’.

Her warrior, she was insulted, which for her was absolutely unacceptable to her.

She took such an insult to hear compliments from her enemies.

When she heard such an insult, she couldn’t help but be angry.

However, the only thing he could vent his anger on was the poor floor.

In the end, she stood up like that and came out of the castle with her own feet.

“Am I… Wrong?”

And honestly, Laina’s expression was miserable while she was out.

Her second failure wasn’t enough, she was spared by the enemy, because she considered herself to be insignificant.

It was such a great disgrace as a warrior.

And at this moment, of course, the words Nera had told her automatically came to mind.

‘A person like you is not a hero or anything.’

‘Alan is a real warrior.’

‘Rainah, you’re just a stupid, proud kid.’

Ner Ah reprimands herself as if she is angry at her failure.

Thinking of Nera like that… She tried to get frustrated.

And she was about to break.

Could she really be like this because of her own fault?

Couldn’t she have no talent as a hero herself? I kept hearing that kind of suspicion called

.

“No… I’m not wrong.”

However, she was not broken.

No matter how you think about it, it was her colleague’s problem after all.

She herself fought well. It was only because her co-workers were not good that this situation was happening now.

If only her colleagues were right, it would never have been like this.

What if I hadn’t made friends?

“Yes…! Let’s not make friends.”

Raina raised her head as if realizing it.

Let’s not make her friends this time.

Even if I try to make something like a colleague, it will all be useless anyway.

She said that at the time she was practicing herself.

“With my power… I will become strong myself.”

So, in the end, the only thing she could trust was herself.

Even without her companions, she is enough to defeat the Demon King by herself…

She became stronger herself.

“I will defeat the demon king by myself.”

In the first place, a hero fights alone.

Relying on someone’s help was itself a problem.

So I will defeat the demon king alone.

And I will definitely regain my lost honor.

She and she will prove herself wrong.

Thinking so, Raina went back and heard her familiar voice as she turned back.

“Huh… I was wrong… I won’t do that again.”

A voice like a cat crying. Raina is not aware of this voice.

The protagonist of this voice was Mer, a fellow member of the warrior party.

Mer was begging someone somewhere.

‘What is…? Were you still here?’

It’s been awhile since I’ve had that question.

“Hey. I told you the other day. Once you get out of prison… I really won’t let you go.”

And then I heard someone’s voice.

That voice was also one that Rina knew very well.

No way…?

The words that I couldn’t just pass by, Raina went to the place where her voice was heard.

She finally found her.

“I was really wrong… Sir Alan…”

A tightly bound Merwa.

Alan, his childhood friend who is scolding Mer like that.

“…Lina.”

And it was the same with Alan.

Alan also discovered Raina.

“Hey. What the hell are you doing?”

Alan, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, sighed as he looked at Raina.
