I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero

48 – Conclusion of the Battle

‘By the way, what is Raina doing now?’

The days of training the warrior party with the final battle with the demon king ahead.

Three days of spring, three summers, three autumns, and three winters came to an end.

Just like that, three years have passed.

A lot has happened in the meantime…

To be honest, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but…

Looking at the children who grew up without knowing it, I feel it all over again.

But I had a sudden thought.

Laina hasn’t really been seen pecking her nose in the meantime.

To be honest, I don’t have any desire to see it, but since I can’t even see it, I feel like there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Actually, at least before I went to defeat the demon lord, I thought he would come to me and ask me to defeat the demon lord or something…

It was only natural that I felt a bit strange when I saw that he hadn’t come even before the final decision with the demon king.

But, it didn’t matter.

It was just a thought out of curiosity, and it doesn’t matter at all whether Rina comes or not.

We can take it down by ourselves.

Now is the time to make a decision for real.

“What do you think?”

Three years ago, they were just new chicks, but now they are full-fledged party members.

Laughter came out as I recalled the past of the three for a moment.

Who would have thought he would grow up to be this handsome.

“Nothing.”

Anyway, it’s time for the real final battle.

I can’t say anything stupid.

I looked ahead. The demonic castle in front of you.

“Now the real showdown.”

Now, the Imperial Army and the Demon King’s Army are colliding on the battlefield.

In that situation, the warrior party was able to infiltrate the Pandemonium.

The reason for forming such a commando is, of course, to defeat the demon king.

It will end the long, long war.

“hehehe… It’s been really hard…”

“Huh…”

“I see… I have something to tell you before we leave.”

I turned around and asked my two party members just one favor.

That’s a far more important request than defeating the demon lord.

“No one should die.”

After saying that, we headed to the Demon Castle.

At least having an after-party after everything is over.

Because I wanted to.

I hoped that no one would get hurt and no one would die.

“And let’s defeat the devil and come back.”

Now was the time to really decide.

If you think about it, it was a really long battle.

It was time to finally finish the decisive battle that should have ended three years ago.

“Demon King… A party of warriors has invaded.”

Inside the demon castle, the demon king was sitting on the throne.

And one of the demons urgently ran to the demon king.

He delivered the urgent news that a party of warriors had invaded to the demon king.

This is the demon king’s army’s crisis coming again.

I urged urgent action in a hurry.

“You’re finally here…”

However, the demon king was not agitated or worried after hearing the demon’s words.

On the contrary, a curve was drawn at the corner of the demon king’s mouth.

After three years, the Demon King has finally reached the moment he has been waiting for.

Alan and the party members look out of the castle.

Perhaps after three years of growing in strength, he will come back to challenge himself again.

The demon king waited for this moment. The day when I can finally fight Alan.

“This time it won’t end as blandly as it did then.”

I can finally fight Alan.

The regret of not being able to kill Allan at that time can now be resolved.

The demon lord is pretty hot right now, at this moment.

Fighting her Alan was quite meaningful to her, so…

‘I want to beat Alan.’

In the past, the Demon King was almost driven to the brink of defeat by Allan.

Although his own strength is strong, he gradually loses his own strength due to the strategy and tactics set up by Allan.

To be honest, in that state, if Alan attacked perfectly, she thought she might lose.

So this was a huge humiliation for the demon king.

Of course, Alan’s party also had its own problems, so the demon king had a life of death, but…

Anyway, it was natural to want to defeat Alan, who humiliated him like that.

That’s why the Demon King was quite obsessed with Allan.

That must be the reason…

He felt like he was missing something.

‘I think there were other things besides that…’

To be honest, I felt a bit regretful to say that was the only reason.

Is he really obsessed with Alan just for that reason?

Why is it that when I look at Alan, a part of his heart feels strange and cold…?

Why does he want to beat Alan so much?

Just because he humiliated himself?

I felt like I was missing something…

The reason why the demon king wants to beat Alan…

For some reason, I thought that it might be in a more essential place in the past.

However, no matter how much he thought about the reason, the Demon King couldn’t figure it out.

What the hell is that?

Why is he obsessed with Allan?

I didn’t know why, but anyway, what the demon king had to do now was very simple.

“It’s finally a showdown…”

A party of cheeky warriors invaded the castle.

To make them kneel in the name of the Demon King.

And getting a complete victory over Allan.

That was the devil’s responsibility and her destiny.

Knock down Allan.

And destroy humans.

And he had to make his wish come true.

“You have to go back.”

Even the demon lord doesn’t know why he wants such a wish…

Her wish was fixed from long ago.

It was a return to the past.

‘Why do I want to go back to the past?’

Actually, why do you want to go back to the past?

What to do when you go back to the past.

What kind of creature you were in the past.

The Demon King knew nothing.

Because she had no memories of her past.

Her will, which only remained in her own soul, told her that it just had to be.

That must be done.

You must go back to the past.

That’s why she intends to exterminate humanity and make that wish come true.

“Okay…! It’s about to begin.”

Defeating Alan, she will kill all living things on this continent as the Demon King.

“Everyone… Be careful. Now it’s really Demon Castle.”

Our party progressed little by little.

Although the demons stopped us along the way, there was no demon other than the Four Heavenly Kings that could stop us, a party of warriors.

The purpose was to somehow pass the time, but we ignored them and headed straight for the castle of demons, and finally reached it.

A huge demonic castle in front of you.

It was probably the first time I saw the Demon Castle in 3 years.

“This time…”

Me, Nera, and Mer and Miner gulped down their saliva when they saw the castle.

Because the four of us had been here before.

And I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat because I had faced a terrifying and gigantic enemy called the Demon King.

“It’s the Devil’s Castle… It’s bigger than I thought?”

Of course, Luna, Seria, and Riden seemed relatively relaxed in that area.

Since these people have never seen the demon lord, such a reaction would be natural, but well, it would be much better to do that than to be frightened.

“Let’s go in now… Again, everyone, stay alert. Be careful.”

Anyway, I took the party members and rushed into the castle.

After warning the party members to take heart.

I gradually went inside the demon castle and started looking for the demon king.

And it didn’t take long to find the Demon King.

“Have you come? Saviors of mankind.”

A quiet and eerie laugh echoed inside the castle.

I looked up and saw the demon king sitting on the throne.

She looked down at the party members and smiled as if she was quite interested, very amused.

“Demon King… Let’s make a decision today.”

Even if he was a demon king with such an attitude, there was no reason for us to be vigilant.

Even though we were suppressed by the demon king’s momentum, we were a party of warriors, and of course we prepared for battle right away.

The battle between the warrior party and the demon king will soon begin.

“It’s fun… It’s really fun. Let Jim pay you back for making him happy.”

Seeing us like that, the Demon King also came down from his throne.

Tumble.

Then slowly and powerfully, with each step, the magical energy in the air slowly came towards us, giving off a quivering feeling.

They stopped and stood at a certain distance, and the demon king also prepared for battle.

“So please make Jim even more enjoyable.”

The demon king released a terrifying demonic energy.

I felt the air tremble and the ground shake just by releasing it.

I felt as if the existence of fear and domination was embodied.

“End with today.”

But it was fine.

Because we will win.

My party members and I did not take our eyes off the demon king while enduring the power of the demon king as much as possible.

“Now… Let’s have fun.”

The battle has begun.

The final battle.
