82 – Since I told the truth, the lives of my comrades…

“Ugh… ”

“Kuh… ”

“damn… ”

The three people barely get up after the storm of tremendous magical power has passed.

Although barely breathing, they knew the situation they were facing was literally the worst.

At this moment, their bodies were full of scars, and their stamina and mana were literally hitting the floor.

Even in the case of Dagon, who blocked the attack from the front, the bones of his limbs were broken, and the others were also in a situation where it was more difficult to find a place where they were fine.

This was partly because the enemy’s attack was enormous, but also because the attack was countered in an unexpected way, so there was no time to deal with it.

Just like that, the three of them stared at the black hero in front of them, unable to fight any further.

at that time…

“Keugh!…”

“!”

“iced coffee… ”

The next moment Hector is thrown right in front of them with a disfigured face.

As they confirmed that even the last hope had disappeared, a dark shadow of despair began to fall on the faces of the warrior party.

“after… It is over with this.”

“thank you for your effort. You got it sorted out sooner than I thought.”

“The hero had a lot of trouble wiping out not one or two, but three.”

Unlike the warrior party, which trembles in fear in a situation where their lives come and go, Samuel and the black warrior speak with a voice that feels relaxed and relieved.

It was then that the three of them were in despair, recognizing that there was no hope left for them anymore.

“Kuh… Whoops!…”

“yes?”

“Did you still have the strength to stand up?

A person struggling to get up from his seat while bleeding from his nose and mouth.

Seeing Hector’s figure, the black hero and Samuel showed a little interest.

“what? Are you sure you want to keep fighting in this situation? then… ”

A black warrior who spoke in a cold voice while looking at Hector, who was forcibly standing upright.

However, in response to this, Hector slowly shook his head and struggled to open his mouth.

“Anymore… I have no intention of engaging in a reckless fight. I just want to ask you to be merciful one last time.”

“mercy?”

“Yes… As you can see, we don’t have the energy to fight anymore. I will surrender obediently, and if necessary, I will lay down my life as the captain who led them. please… Please ensure the safety of my comrades.”

“! Heh… Hector!”

“What are you talking about!”

“Don’t talk like that! Even if we live, we all live together, and even if we die, we must all die together!”

Hector speaks in a determined voice with his head bowed.

The other colleagues shouted in an urgent voice as they saw him trying to sacrifice for them, but Hector’s will did not change.

Someone had to take responsibility for causing such a commotion, and Hector was ready to accept it.

As the leader of the group, this is a natural duty and the last sacrifice you can make to your precious comrades.

Hector remained silent for a moment, entrusting his disposition to the two men in front of him.

Not even the slightest certainty about whether it was death or something else behind it.

*

Hector begging for mercy in front of his eyes.

In response, Samuel showed an attitude that seemed to be irrelevant and spoke to me.

“What do you plan to do, hero? First of all, you are the one who caught three of them, so I will follow your decision.”

“Okay then… ”

Samuel, who shows that he has no interest in whether these guys live or die.

After thinking about this for a while, I started asking questions to this man named Hector in front of me.

“Did you say Hector? I would like to ask a few questions before deciding on treatment.”

“… Try asking.”

Hector speaks with a slightly obedient feeling to my words.

To the extent that he knew that the lives of his comrades could be determined by how he answered, he was showing a fairly innocent attitude.

“First of all, what happened to you who belonged to the tribal union here in Jerusalem? Why did you make such a fuss?”

“that… ”

Hector shows signs of pondering over my question for a moment.

Seeing him like this, I could intuitively know that the reason he infiltrated here was not so docile.

However, Hector’s words that followed far surpassed even my expectations, which I had been prepared for to some extent.

“That’s because I’m a hero with a mission to take the head of the demon king.”

“… What?”

Hector brings out an unexpected story.

At this moment, I even started to think that this guy, who had never even appeared in the original work, ate something wrong.

Soon after, I realized that nothing could explain the situation better than that.

‘From human warriors to elven archers, witches, and beast warriors. Certainly, the combination is correct.’

In addition, just by appearing in this place where their identity could be dangerous simply by revealing their identity and making such a terrorist-level disturbance was a kind of proof that they were a party of warriors with the mission of assassinating the demon king.

As I became aware of the identity and purpose of the people in front of me, I had no choice but to look at them with a completely different perspective than before.

‘It’s a warrior party… If that’s the case, are you saying they’re my juniors? If so, that means they’re the ones who should never go over quietly.’

Beings dispatched from the Tribal Alliance with the purpose of killing the Demon Lord.

This was also the mission I had right after I fell into this world, but at this point, the hero party was a clear enemy to me.

The guys who attacked me aiming for the life of the demon lord with whom I have a romantic relationship.

As much as I don’t have to deal with those guys, I started thinking about blowing their necks off right here and there.

However, apart from this impulse.

I had no choice but to kill my emotions once I realized that if they were a warrior party, I would have to ask them a few questions.

“Are you saying this is a warrior party? But even so, it doesn’t explain why you did this. There is no need for you to do such a reckless thing at this point when the tribal union is dissolved, right?’

Although they lost to me just a while ago, their skills were at a level where they could live while being recognized in their respective countries.

Just looking at Hector right in front of his eyes, he is at a level where he can fight almost on an equal footing with the corps commander, Samuel, so even if he doesn’t, he should be able to easily secure the position of the highest ranking mercenary or general in the Falcon Empire.

Nevertheless, instead of enjoying wealth and glory in their respective countries,

The possibility is low and dangerous, and at this point, even if it succeeds, it is unclear whether it will be welcomed or not.

Feeling a little suspicious of that fact, I asked a question before killing them,

In response, the hero Hector answered my question with a more subdued expression.

A story related to the current situation of the tribal union, which is divided into quarters, not for simple reasons.

And in the process, the party of warriors who wanted to resist the reality that they would be separated from their colleagues they had relied on so far and might even have to point their swords at them.

As I listened to their stories,

I was a member of the same warrior party, but I felt a little regretful about the situation in which I was thoroughly betrayed by the colleagues in question and ended up on the side of the demon king.

Apart from that, of course, I didn’t change my determination to punish these bastards who dared to touch my woman.

*

“… I envy you.”

“?”

Hector, seeking final mercy, spoke the unfiltered truth.

Seeing him like that, the black hero muttered in a low voice.

A personal story that cannot be understood from Hector’s point of view.

But,

Aside from these details, Hector had some hope regarding the fact that such a story had come out of the mouth of the black warrior.

In any case, it meant that if the other person viewed them positively, the chances of survival for their comrades could also increase.

Having confided everything he had to say, Hector waited for the black warrior to dispose of him.

In response, the black warrior tried to say something in a calm voice.

at that time…

“yes?”

“Kuh… ”

A scene that suddenly began to appear in their eyes.

It was the image of demonic soldiers coming from all sides and starting to surround the area.

They arrived with the warrior wearing the red armor they saw at the arena just before.

The warrior party, who thought that if they did well, they might be able to save the lives of their colleagues, began to think that the situation had fallen even worse.

‘Perhaps the red armor reported and brought the soldiers…’

‘damn… After all, there is no way for us to survive if this happens, right?’

With the soldiers officially intervening in this way, the warrior party began to feel deep despair, thinking that it would be impossible to count on the mercy of a single black hero any longer.

On the other hand, apart from their thoughts.

The black warrior, who was just about to annihilate the warriors’ party, suddenly appears with soldiers and a red armor that restrains his actions.

He expressed a slight doubt about the demon king’s actions.
