8 – At that time, they…

‘Wow… ‘

The splendid weaponry placed before my eyes by the hands of the attendants.

As I looked at it, a smile of deep admiration automatically began to grow on my lips.

Black armor made of an unknown rare metal and imbued with various high-ranking magics.

Jewels were studded everywhere, and in it, which had nice yet delicate patterns engraved on it, even the elegance of a sophisticated piece of art was felt.

And… the huge greatsword that forms a set with that black armor.

It had a black sword, and even at this moment, strong purple energy was pouring out of it, showing very clearly that the power of the weapon itself was no joke.

Like that, this armor and weapon that has unusual power even at a glance.

Watching this, I began to feel as if all the sadness I had brought up until now with only crappy equipment was washed away.

‘You mean this is my weapon given to me by the demon king? Indeed… it feels different from the second-hand weapons I used to carry around when I was a hero.’

In the original work, a warrior who had to be armed with weapons that came out of killing monsters.

Of course, this could be said to be armed with drop items commonly referred to in the game, but it could not be said to be very good from the point of view of actually using those weapons in real life.

It’s a shame because the hero’s basic specs were so outstanding, but fighting while wearing a sword and armor with teeth chipped or broken marks left me with a very uneasy feeling.

And for me like that, these strongest demon weapons that the demon king gave me as a gift literally give a person who used to wear a used car a new car..

It was also giving me joy as if I had picked out a brand new foreign car.

‘Now that you’ve invested this much, you should definitely repay me. Let’s see, Maou-nim, I will definitely complete this mission successfully.’

With that thought in mind, I carefully examine the weapons with the feeling of literally touching valuables.

At that moment, a light curiosity about a fact that I had forgotten for a while suddenly began to appear in my head.

‘Invest… Come to think of it. Those two bitches… throughout the entire trip, they spent all their money on investment, didn’t they? The hero said he had to save money and went around using second-hand weapons, but those bitches were busy trying to please that porter while wasting everything they needed and wasted.’

A party of warriors that has received considerable funding so far in the name of investment to defeat the demon king.

The naive warrior in the original work didn’t even know exactly how much money he had invested, but most of it was flowed down the throats of Torare and the girls by the hands of Ayla, the priest who was in charge of managing the funds.

Of course, in the process of borrowing money like that, it was a bonus to constantly sell the devil’s name.

‘In the original work, he got his debt forgiven for killing the devil king and even took possession of the wealth in the devil castle, making him rather rich. But now that it has failed…’

As I thought that far, a smile started to form on my lips.

Then, automatically, the hardships that the couple would go through began to flash through my mind like a kaleidoscope.

‘This.. I’m really curious about how things will go in the future? To the point where I would like to see it if I could.’

With that thought in mind, I slowly picked up the black greatsword that was lying in front of me.

Apart from its enormous size, it feels as light as a feather to me.

The slight thrill I felt the moment I held it in my hand let me know that this weapon was resonating with me and amplifying the wielder’s power.

So, with the weapon in hand to carry out the mission with me.

I slowly started to show a cold smile on my lips.

‘No matter which way it is, don’t die and stay alive. At least until I wipe you guys out with my own hands…’

Even though it may not be the main goal, at this moment, I had no intention of giving up the pleasure of revenge.

If you owe a debt, the rule is to pay it back in multiples.

Even for this… I was sincerely hoping that, if possible, the pair wouldn’t go bankrupt or go down so badly that I wouldn’t even be able to touch them.

Especially when it comes to the porter who managed to seduce those bitches and make things come to this point…

‘Wait a little bit, everyone, I’ll be there.’

*

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… ”

“Yeah.. if you’ve come this far… first of all, it’s safe..”

Women slump in their seats exhaling with difficulty.

Eileen and Amelda, and Sud and Terra…

Just a few hours ago, the warriors of the warrior party who had advanced into the demon castle, boasting that they would defeat the demon king.

However, at this moment, in their hearts, only the deep fear settled in their hearts, with the expiry of the moment completely gone.

“To think that Ellen was so foolish…”

“I can’t believe it.. Eren is as strong as the four of us combined.. Then how strong is the demon king’s power?”

“I don’t know, but… it seems that we can barely see a win if we combine all our strength and Eren’s strength..”

“The Demon King… it’s scary…”

Four people shudder as they recall the majesty of the demon king, who had been ignored more than they thought while sitting there for a while.

And after a while…

As time passed, they managed to assuage the fear that was wriggling in their hearts, and soon began to worry about their future.

“Uh… Hey… Then what will happen to us in the future? Originally, after Eren killed the demon lord, Torare-sama and us were supposed to intercept all of his achievements.”

“Yes.. it was, but it was a plan that I considered perfect.. I really did not expect it to fail in this way.”

“It’s not our fault. The problem was that the hero was weaker than expected and the demon king was stronger than expected.”

“Maybe? But anyway, we are a complete failure.”

“… ”

“Kuh..”

Tera, a beast-man warrior who stabs the head with a short sentence.

As she said, to evaluate the current situation of the warriors party, the word complete failure could be said to be a perfect fit.

Eren, the strongest warrior, was knocked down by the Demon King, and the rest of the party ran away leaving such a hero behind.

It was obvious what would have happened to Ellen in this situation,

Having lost the strongest warrior, going to defeat the demon king again was no different than going to die.

In conclusion, defeating the demon king has now become a realistically impossible goal.

However, even if they acknowledged such an impossible reality, they were in a situation where they could not even calmly give up on their adventure and go back.

They came all the way here with the slogan of defeating the demon king as a party of warriors.

In the process, the support received from the allied forces and each city was enormous, and even a considerable amount of debt was included among them.

It was a debt that I had fun taking over without thinking under the pretext that I could pay it off only if I defeated the demon king.

It didn’t come into their eyes at all until the battle with the demon king, which they thought would of course win, but…

Now that the demon lord subjugation had failed, the ‘debt’ was finally showing itself clearly in front of them as a cold reality.

‘damn… If I had known it would be like this, I would have listened to Eren’s words and lived my life sparingly..’

‘It was a mistake… I thought it was just an investment to win Torare-sama’s heart…’

‘No wait… Isn’t this a bit seriously dangerous? To be honest, I thought that if I killed the demon king, I could pay it back, so I ignored the advice of the warrior. If things go this way…’

‘Torare-nim, you spend too much money. We also spent too much money..’

Literally, they became bad debtors overnight in a warrior party to save the world.

Recognizing that they were in a crisis where they could not do this or that, the four female warriors began to be seized with a strong feeling of anxiety.

“This… For now, let’s go and discuss with Torare-sama. Surely something good can happen.”

“That would be nice. For now, that seems to be the only answer.”

The actual ‘master’ of them, and the one who prepared the strategy to defeat the hero.

Thinking that there might be some way that person could overcome this crisis, the four of them started heading towards the place where Torare was.
