57-3. The hero fights against the demon king.

***

Humans are creatures that learn to fear.

Especially, the wounds suffered in childhood remain bigger and cause problems until adulthood.

Ariel, now facing the demon king, felt her breathing quicken.

She’s quick-witted Ariel could tell that Finn and Infinity are the same person.

A demon lord who regretted the death of her younger sister and eventually became a dual personality.

Because that was the true identity of the mighty demon lord.

‘I have to fight back.’

Before Ariel met Kynell, her village had been burned down.

The forest where the elves and the world tree were. Finn, the demon lord of power, set fire to obtain subspace.

When a big fire broke out because of this, her parents and herself got out, but she lost everyone she was close to.

The next settlement was Labyrinth Village.

The blonde-haired boy he met there was a real hero to him.

At some point, Ariel found that she had a crush on Kynell, and she tried hard not to find out about it.

‘..It’s different this time. I will help Kynell.’

The force in her grip formed her fist. She promises not to make the same mistake again.

She managed to become a childhood friend and lover with Licht’s help.

She didn’t want to lose her precious person to the devil anymore.

Ariel looked at her purple-haired demon lord and vowed that she would protect Kainel.

Because now she’s not hiding her feelings.

***

As I listened to the demon king, there was something that bothered me.

Dear warrior.

The hero that the newly appeared demon king spoke of was a hero of a different concept than faith or light.

I don’t think it’s a story about me. Because there can’t be heroes with overlapping titles in this world.

When I tried to name a sword similarly before, I was rejected by the Heavenly Demon.

Like the saintess, a person divinely ordained.

Thus, there may be multiple chosen heroes, but the concept they have is unique.

It was also the reason I thought of Intinium as a separate person from Finn.

From noble mtl dot com

But the hero in the prophecy was not me, but Fine Grancia.

Because he apparently possessed it after receiving an email from a beta tester. I thought it would be me no matter what anyone said.

Then, leaving such a note in the Library of Truth?

‘…… It must have been Fine Grancia on a different route.’

Cold sweat runs down the back of her neck.

I was in awe watching the giant that seemed to fill the black sky.

If Fine is the hero of the prophecy, everything that has been missing will be explained.

The reason why she became a nameless saint.

Why is it that if you don’t complete the grand route, you will be killed by the demon king?

Everything that should have been forgotten by others, lost his name, and taken away from his power.

….What is the prophecy?

“Three warriors and one wizard… Interesting. Since the war, how long has it been since you fought a hero?”

The purple haired devil looks down at us. Numerous arms visible behind the back. The perfected Cyclops had stretched arms like Asura.

Shiny metal visible on his hands and ankles. Knuckles and anklets Maybe that’s the Holy Sword.

“You look up at me, your liver is too big. A warrior of faith.”

“… !!”

Koo-goo-gugu-.

As the air vibrated, my body felt heavy like lead, and I almost let go of the sword as my muscles relaxed.

A power of force that has been experienced before. Even though I was inside Kynell’s shield, I almost couldn’t move my body.

Kinel’s hand as he inserted the holy sword into the ground was trembling. A kneeling warrior of light.

Infinity gathered both hands in the middle and made a motion of squeezing the air up and down.

“Every human being lives a life related to money. So did my little sister. What is that penny?”

Then, a whirlwind shaped like an hourglass created in his hands.

“There are some idiots who say money can buy time.”

No matter how you look at it, it was ominous, so I pulled the notion stuck in the ground.

A feature made of rocks that is layered over Kynell’s protective shield.

「Cosmic Sand Glass.」

As soon as Infinity chanted, the giant’s large hand was visible on the floor where our party was standing, and a black shadow was cast on the ceiling above.

“Pine!! Ariel!! Use your defense magic quickly!!”

As soon as I shouted, my colleagues put on a shield made of flames and a glass dome.

A tornado strikes in the air. The subspace itself is twisted and twisted. Bleak vision.

Everything started to crumble except for the floor we were standing on and the protective shield drooping in a hemispherical shape.

What kind of power is this? Even if it’s second to creating a sub-space with brute force. This was out of common sense.

A protective film that peels off layer by layer, like the shell of an egg.

First Ariel’s flames fade, then Fine’s glass walls. The last ones were the rocks I made with my heart sword.

In the end, only Kynell’s shield remained.

“..It holds up quite well. After all, they weren’t normal guys.”

Infinity briefly commented after seeing us who blocked their own attack. He brought his hands together and snapped his wrists, then continued his attack.

Bang-!! Bang-!!

The demon lord punches Kynel’s barrier. Several fists were pierced at once, trying to break the shield.

What should I do? The moment I thought about it.

I saw a warrior sticking a holy sword of light into the ground and enduring it, and a wizard trembling while watching the demon king’s attack.

But there was a spark in Ariel’s eyes. The image of enduring each other while holding Kenel tight.

Did you grow up watching the hero who fights against the demon king alone?

Because the last time she fought Intinium, she was only protected. It might be possible now.

“Ariel. Shoot your ultimate at the giant’s eyes.”

I spoke to the wizard of mad flames guarding the hero’s side.

“What..?! Mr. Tugu. I don’t know that!!”

“You are the only one who can protect Kainel right now, Ariel. Think carefully about what you have learned.”

Ariel shook her head violently and shed tears. It’s different from running away when fighting Magic Hat in the future.

“What I learned in my first class with Professor Dennis.”

“Magic is.. Ignoring the physical laws of the world..?”

“No, not that.”

Magic is influenced by images.

“Concentrate on the concept of shining and twist the magic formula. There won’t be one more than fireworks.”

The stronger the mind, the stronger the image. A wizard’s wish to make the world as bright as a hero’s.

“…The sun.”

Because it was the magician of mad flames I knew well.

At Ariel’s answer, I raised the corner of my mouth without a word. That would have been enough explanation.

After she finished her words, she slowly looked at the demon king. Big eyes that can be seen between fists pouring countless times.

No matter what anyone says, that part seemed like a weakness. Even though I and Kanel treated it, the area that recovered was bigger than before.

She was the one who spread her magic circle towards the giant’s eyes, but she was hit by the mighty power and her arms went down.

“Ariel. Don’t be afraid.”

Then, by her side, Kainel turned to her and gave her advice.

She could do nothing but withstand the giant’s attack. Do you have any strength left? She pretends to be strong, even though her hands shaking as she holds her holy sword.

“No matter what happens, I will protect you.”

“Yes, Kai..!”

The words of a lover and childhood friend now. Hearing her advice, Ariel began chanting magic.

“Solaris….”

A blue spark formed in her hand, and the fireball began to coalesce into a large mass, mixing with the golden glow once more.

“..Kinel.”

Solaris Kinel. An ultimate skill named after the opponent.

That’s why I didn’t want to learn magic from Ariel or Kainel in the first place. Because I couldn’t ruin this technical name.

The blue sun, which gradually grows larger, does not fade even with the giant’s fist and flies straight ahead.

Now, an ultimate skill that could completely burn the giant.

“This can’t be like this. Why… Why doesn’t that block even with the power of the giant?”

Of course not. It’s not like you’re a giant or borrowing someone else’s power. Magic is to bring out one’s image into reality.

Infinity tried to block the sun with dozens of hands, perhaps sensing danger.

Quaaa!

Ariel’s ultimate melted Cyclops’ hands with great heat.

“You bastards!! I can’t let the prophecy come to fruition!”

A demon king who protects his eyes even by sacrificing several of the giant’s arms. After all, even after merging, the weakness seems to be the same.

Where did the figure that stood proudly in the air go?

How should I defeat that demon king? I didn’t have the tools I had now.

Infinity did not die completely even after being killed by the demon king. Even if I cast it again, can I finish it?

No. Come to think of it, one of White Magnolia’s skills was missing.

“Fine, could you copy Kynel’s holy sword as it is?”

This was the only way left. If you can’t fight alone, two of you will do.

“Licht.. What the hell are you going to do?”

A barely created gap. Even if Fine was the chosen hero, he didn’t want to involve him in this fight.

Destiny and prophecy, even those who already have them are enough.

“…I get it.”

Fine nodded his head. She is the one who copies Kainel’s holy sword with her glass.

Because glass reflects things. If it is possible to create an alter ego, then this is also possible.

“..Don’t get hurt. Licht.”

A transparent sword with a glass inside. Fine said as she handed me her copy of the holy sword.

“Kinel, I will also use the Holy Sword of Light. Watch and learn.”

“Licht. Who is bluffing against whom?”

Yes, Kynell was originally like this.

A hero who hates people who pretend to be proud of nothing much.

“The strategy is the same as before. Cainell.”

“Because I know. Don’t fight alone again.”

Seeing Kynell holding up his sword to fight with me, I smiled as I transformed into a black knight.

If the Demon King and the Hero fight together, there will be no enemies that can’t be defeated.
