88 – The Hero Saved by the Demon King
“Sniff… Great.”
“Did you all cry?”
After Neros’ appearance returned to normal, I patted him on the back for about 10 minutes until he finally calmed down. Still, it’s surprising that he calmed down.

Just by choosing me with the target of revenge in front of me, I can clearly see the will of Neros.
“Then how can I get that Lunia… .”
dump.
Hey, why is your vision so low?
“Lian!?”
“what… That’s strange… I can’t die like this.”
Could it be that Neros’ attacks were stronger than expected?
This is crazy… uh… .
“Rian!!!”
*****
“What!?”
Stop the stupid idea of me recovering Lian.
No matter how omniscient and omnipotent it is, it does not possess omnipotent power like a real god. It’s just that they are slightly less restricted than other humans and spirits.
As expected from the spirit’s curse, recovery-related actions were impossible, and even though he wanted to feed the potion, there was no potion to be seen.
“ha… ha… .”
“No. Ryan… .”
Are you going to let me die here?
I cannot afford to lose my eternal companion who saved me so absurdly.
Thinking so, I picked up Lian and quickly started running toward the dormitory.
I started running blindly to someone who could save Lian.
Shall we go to Rirke? No, seeing as he was treating Lane, his recovery would be too late
No way.. Even if he stood upright, he was directly hit by my attack twice.
I thought it wouldn’t be safe, but… . It’s never okay to die like this.
“I have to live… Save..!”
“Save!!”
Because of the command bullets that forced him to do impossible things, the amount of curse quickly escaped with a hook. But that doesn’t mean there are no signs of recovery.
It’s literally nonsense.
“no!”
He broke the potion in Lian’s arms earlier.
She looked around, but because of the roar she caused and the appearance of the monster, the saintess only faint traces of an academy student and assistant remained.
“Sass… quick… .”
“do not die!”
Are you really doing this to me?
I came to the end and tried to find it in my daily life… Are you saying that even that is too much for me?
“Is it wrong to love?”
I hold Lian’s hand and pray earnestly.
anyone like… Please save Lian.

“What is it, is it dead?”
As soon as I opened my eyes, all I could see was an endless night sky and a huge moon.
After several regressions, the ending was such a ridiculous death… Can’t you just let me do it one more time?
“Who do you mean died?”
“yes?”
Devil?
When I turned my head to the demon king’s voice, I saw the demon king sitting on a familiar throne and looking down at me.
Dark purple hair hangs down long, and twilight-like eyes stare down at me. Looking at the sense of intimidation, it was similar to the first time I saw the demon king, but there were few differences in appearance.
“How can the horn not work here?”
“… Shut up.”
The horns, the symbol of demonic spirit, are cute like the horns of a baby devil, and the tail on the back was originally a tail reminiscent of a dragon, but now it is a heart-shaped tail that the weakest demons are often born with.
right. This is exactly what the demon king looks like now.
“ha… They brought him to the image of the dying guy and somehow held him back, but the reaction seems to be very unsatisfying.”
“Do you hold on to the soul?”
“It’s not that difficult. In fact, aren’t there many restraint spirits where the soul is forcibly bound? It is similar to that.”
That’s because you’ve dealt with souls a lot.
I’ve heard that necromancers usually dedicate a life to perfecting a soul.
“Anyway, you mean this isn’t hell, right?”
“right. here is my image It’s not like you, but isn’t it a pretty desolate landscape?”
What… It’s a bit of an environment to call it a lot of things.
The floor feels like light purple flames rising up, there are no walls, and the end of the horizon is nowhere to be seen. Should I just say that the huge throne and the moon behind it are more splendid than my image?
“therefore? Do you know how I am now?”
“Do you think you can tell? As soon as I saw your image crumble, I barely managed to drag my soul here and maintain the current state.”
“okay? Does that mean you’re not dead?”
Then it’s safe.
I threw off my coat and unbuttoned a few buttons on my shirt as I lay down on the floor.
“There are only two saints in this academy.”
Moreover, although he is in a moribund state, his chances of recovery are high enough. In the case of Prin, I don’t know if the amount of divine power itself is large, but one skill is certain, and Rirke is a believer in the goddess of vengeance, so the recovery speed is slow, but I saw that he recovered steadily.
“It’s better to do this than to be trembling for no reason.”
“It’s a problem because you’re too heroic.”
After looking at the demon king shaking his head, I stared at the demon king and asked the most important question.
“By the way, what is your name?”
“,,,What?”
At my words, wrinkles form on the demon king’s beautiful face.
“You have no way to know.”
My name was, of course, widespread.
Humans occupy more territory than demons, but the empire, where the technology of newspapers is relatively well developed, advertised extensively using my name.
Among the demons, there were not a few guys who called me Lian Primal, not a hero.
“You, even the executives called you the Demon King, and you didn’t even tell me your name until the end.”
“Is it?”
it was
Besides, how many times will I have the opportunity to have a calm conversation like this with the demon lord?
“… . It’s Ciel. There is no last name.”
“Ciel? It sounds like an angel’s name.”
“Do it in moderation. There are many other angels with similar names, so I was teased a lot when I was young.”
“It looks like the next demon king is also being teased?”
The conversation flowed naturally.
I completely forgot the fact that Ciel was the demon king in a moment without realizing it because it was so natural that I couldn’t even imagine that the demon king and the hero were having a conversation.
Does it matter if I forget it?
“Yes. Ciel.”
“what.”
“If demons or the Demon King’s army attack you, you will kill them without hesitation… .”
“If I can kill you, I will kill you.”
Ciel, who answered my question before I even finished, looked at me as if asking me for something obvious, then went on to explain further.
“The demons are a society based on the rule of thumb more than humans think. Weak demons are either weeded out or turned into prey. Conversely, a strong demon will form an army with weaker demons as subordinates.”
“Five… Then, can you defeat the demons?”
“… don’t be silent.”
“People say silence is a sign of affirmation.”
Well, the magi felt in the world of images is certainly intense, but the amount is too small. It’s like if demons or demons were compressed, compressed, compressed, and a crystal came out, they would emit this kind of demonic energy… I feel Magi intensely only on one side.
“what… What comes to mind?”
“Hmm, it seems that the body’s recovery has progressed to some extent. It is trying to forcefully bring a soul to a body that has lost its soul. Judging from this reaction, it seems that one life force is persistent.”
If he hadn’t been persistent, he would have already died when he was directly hit by Neros’ explosion.
While thinking that, I relaxed my body without resisting the rising power, and Ciel shouted at me while sitting on the throne.
“Don’t die. Until I kill you.”
… At that, I was at a loss for words.
“You want me to live forever? I intend to live a long time, but I don’t intend to live that long, do I?”
“Such a dog… .”
Ciel tried to say something to me, but I couldn’t hear him.
I didn’t hear it anyway
*****
“Ugh… . it hurts… .”
As soon as I opened my eyes, pain hit me like a tsunami.
Arms, legs, stomach, chest, head, neck… There is no corner that does not hurt.
At least, since the whole body was wrapped in bandages, it seems to have recovered to some extent.
Kwagogogogwang!!
When a sudden roar came from outside the door, I blinked and stared at the door, so Neros, who opened the door without hesitation, stared at me.
“… Lian?”
“What’s wrong, Neros?”
It’s not like I’ve actually been lying there passed out for a few days… .
“Liaaan!!!!”
“Queek!!”
I coughed at the perfect tackle and looked down at Neros. Neros was looking up at me with tears in his eyes.
… First of all, if you make that kind of face on the other side, it’s against the law.
“me… I’m afraid that Rihanna is dead… I wonder if I killed it by mistake… .”
“Yes, yes, memories come back and actions do not change. our princess.”
I held Neros’ head in my arms to my chest and slowly stroked it along the hair, and his tears slowly washed away my bandages.
He held Neros in his arms and gently stroked her hair until his tears stopped.
