Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

The eyes and magical powers of humans have been following them from behind for some time.

After being monitored by scouts, Lucia walked around, holding back her anger.

‘Those, something very annoying.’

Lucia glanced at the scouts hiding behind her with a tired expression.

all eight. It has doubled compared to when I first went to the capital of the empire.

At that time, I ignored Kael in order to see him as soon as possible, even for a second, but now there was no reason to do so.

‘Are you going to kill me?’

But one of the items on the piece of paper that Cael wrote down stopped her.

-Never kill anyone.

Looking at the paper Kael gave her, Lucia made a squeaky sound and was conflicted.

I don’t want to look hateful to Kael. But if he doesn’t deal with it, it’s difficult.

However, the spies chasing after them for days were as irritating as flies.

She messed up her hair and ran back the way she was going, as if she had given up.

Throughout her journey to the Empire, she pondered over and over whether to kill her, but in the end she didn’t harm anyone.

And before long, the imperial soldiers were approaching the forest where they were hiding.

“There’s something very, very hidden.”

Having said that, Lucia looked around the forest once more.

A large army of at least ten thousand people. Feeling the presence, she immediately stretched and loosened her ankle.

“I told you not to kill anyone, so I’ll skip it.”

After shouting, Lucia bent her knees and touched the floor, and then flew off.

Soaring high into the sky, she jumped across the forest with just one jump.

And before the soldiers attacked, before the spies even reported, they landed where Aurelia and her party were.

Lucia greeted those who still had not noticed her.

“hi.”

A word of ease. It was a heterogeneous tone that did not fit the atmosphere at all.

was that so Even though everyone heard it, they didn’t respond right away.

Not only the others, but even Lowe could not grasp the situation, and their gaze was taken from Lucia in front of her.

In the midst of this war, a beautiful woman who did not suit her at all. With her hair swaying in the wind and the horns hanging on it, even Lowe had no idea how to deal with it.

Apparently she was a demon, but unlike her light words and deeds, she had an atmosphere that made it difficult to dare to speak.

In such a situation, only Lucia moved freely as if allowed in the world.

“Ugh, there are so many, I don’t know.”

“You, you are…”

Law barely opened her mouth to ask, but Lucia didn’t even look at him.

She looked at them one by one, leisurely, and savored them.

Then he raised his hand and smiled mischievously.

“Now, I have the names Aurelia and Lowe. hand!”

Everyone shut their mouths as if they were dumb at the words.

Even the owners of the name had no idea how to respond.

Especially Aurelia, who knows her.

Only, Ashua could respond.

“Devil······!”

After reacting late, he placed his hand on the scabbard and slashed through the wind and rushed at Lucia.

And he fired so fast that even Lowe could miss it.

Chaeeng!

Ashua’s sword was intercepted by Lucia’s blade.

Although she had no weapon and she had not cast any spells, her hand was not scratched.

No, rather, the teeth of the blade that Ashua wielded were damaged. The pain in his wrist made him feel like he was facing steel for an instant.

Nevertheless, Ashua did not panic and shouted at his allies.

“Everyone calm down! It’s the Demon King!!”

That one word awakened the awareness of everyone there.

In less than a second, the knights and warriors rushed towards her.

The wizards chanted the chant, and the priests and healers supported the rear.

Ashua also showed off the swordsmanship he had accumulated over the past five years.

“Demon Lord, it’s been a while.”

When Ashua spoke with her swords facing her, she tilted her head.

“What, do you know me?”

“Is this a cheap provocation? Or did my memory even deteriorate while it was sealed?”

“Well, who are you?”

“Huh. Anyway, I’m going to keep the spies alive so we can trust the treasury and then use the strategy against them. He is also a demon king.”

“? What are you talking about?”

“But it doesn’t matter. This time, please seal it so that it cannot come out again.”

Demon Lord, why she is here or how she got out of that forest didn’t matter anymore.

What is certain is that the woman in front of them was the Demon King, and the moment they met, there was only one thing they had to do.

it is sealed I must insert the holy sword into the heart hidden in that hard skin and flesh.

This time, to restore true peace.

“Don’t give me a break. Surround it and subdue it at once!”

“Uh-huh! This Nike-sama will take the demon king’s neck!!”

“Inferno Explosion!”

“Die, Demon King!!”

Hundreds of attacks rushed in unison, aiming for one demon king.

The knights swung their spears and swords, and the wizards’ fire pits fell towards her.

The rushing magic hit Lucia with authenticity, and the swords of the knights also cut her body.

Ashua and the warriors also attacked her neck.

Explosions and swordsmanship in a crowded battle. And screams of unknown owners rang out.

The entrance to the forest, which had been quiet just a moment ago, was filled with smoke in an instant.

“Until there! Everyone go away.”

In a situation where even identification of the victim became difficult, everyone retreated in line with the signal.

The demon king who had received numerous attacks in that short time, the place where she stood was obscured by thick smoke.

“Hey, did you finish it?”

Someone mumbled that with hope.

Most of them nodded their heads and relaxed a bit.

The warriors, including Nike, also lowered their swords and relaxed.

There’s no way I can survive that attack.

It was an optimistic way of thinking that was possible because the generation had never experienced war and the Demon King.

Therefore, each of them was confident of victory, but only Ashua and Aurelia did not relax as much.

Obviously, no one can survive an attack like that. Even though they knew that, they were warning that their instincts were not over yet.

“Everyone, don’t be vigilant yet. When the smoke clears, they charge again.”

Ashua said that and looked around, he felt something empty.

It seems like everything is there, but the guy who should be right next to you is nowhere to be seen.

Ashua called out the name of the invisible disciple.

“······low?”

Row is not visible. Everyone was there, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Ashua saw where the smoke was rising.

Come to think of it, who was the owner of the scream I heard earlier? Wasn’t it from an unknown knight?

He felt anxious that something was going wrong.

Then, as if possessed by something, he looked towards the demon king.

The smoke slowly disappears. What appeared in it was the shadow of the demon king who was standing still.

Everyone who saw it looked in disbelief.

“Uh, how….”

But the shock did not end there.

Another shadow appeared in Nike’s eyes, astonished at seeing the demon king.

The figure of the shadow writhing as if in pain.

Even after seeing it, no one thought to step forward or respond.

The thick smoke completely cleared as everyone watched with anxious expressions.

And, as everyone expected, the worst-case scenario was unfolding there.

“Ouch, ahhh…”

A familiar scream I heard during a melee a while ago. Its owner, Lowe, was holding Lucia’s wrist and groaning.

Everyone stared at him as if he was in a state of disbelief as if he was in pain and unable to do anything.

Even Ashua and Aurelia stiffened at the overwhelming sight of an adult playing with a child.

Five years ago, I was in shock more than the others because it was so different from the appearance of Kael who fought with the same holy sword.

Meanwhile, Lucia found the holy sword in Lowe’s hand and grinned.

“Looking at you with a holy sword, do you think you’re Lowe?”

“Turn it off, ah ah ah ah ah!”

As she gave strength to her hand, Lowe’s struggling scream grew louder.

He struggled to get out, but his arm didn’t move.

Rather, the pain was getting worse and worse, and I felt like my wrist was being cut off.

“Ahhh! Let go, my, please let me go!!”

And seeing him struggling, Lucia tilted her head as if puzzled.

“But, that’s not your sword. So I’ll give it back.”

“Ouch, what, what?”

Roy asked with a stupid face, but there was no answer.

instead,

Quad-D-D-DUCK-

Something was pulled out with a creepy sound. Lowe thought so, feeling an empty feeling in his body.

“Uh, huh?”

And immediately after that, a burning pain spread over his shoulder.

“aah!”

“Yeah, he’ll be satisfied with this.”

Roy’s screams rang out desperately.

Nevertheless, Lucia nodded her head with satisfaction as she looked at Law’s torn arm.
