254. I will rest now (1)
Aren was crying.
cried endlessly.
I didn’t know why I was crying.
It must have been a mixture of many emotions. The ‘me’ of reality is dead. But I came back because I wanted to see my precious people.
It would be difficult to describe the complex emotions he would feel in a few sentences.
“It’s Aren, is that it?”
“Oh, Aren!”
Ackerman and Hoya were the first to greet him. The three women who loved him were exhausted and had a hard time even raising their voices.
Instead, tears of joy could not be contained.
In a sense of relief, the gin is all gone. I was chasing the life of the man I loved only with my eyes.
Aren approaches them.
Ciana, who was bleeding profusely from her eyes and mouth, struggled to laugh. Aren said while caressing Cyana’s cheek. Cyana smiled happily and buried her cheek in Aren’s hand.
“Thank you.”
“Hey… … . Aren, you came back.”
“yes. I’m here.”
Long words were not necessary.
Siana’s smile was pitiful, but it was a happy smile itself. A future that saves Aren even if his own life is shattered.
Shiana took the future she had seen with her own hands.
Even though she saw the future where Aren died, she did not go crazy, but rather believed in Aren and tried to save him.
Because he was precious enough to give up his life instead.
“Aren… … I’m going to rest… … .”
Seeing Aren’s face, Cyanna quietly closed her eyes as if relieved. In fact, she is the one who changed her life force.
Even opening my eyes right now was beyond my strength. Siana quietly fell asleep. Leave the rest of the work to Aren. This is the future she saw.
The Archmage of Time has done its job.
As Cyanna lay down comfortably, Aren looked away. Cain’s condition was also unreasonable.
Cain opened his mouth, barely brushing through his messy hair.
“Bad baby. Whoever wants to die, hehehe… … . Ugh, it hurts.”
Although her words were rough, Cain was the most tender woman. Inside the hard exterior lies a soft heart.
It was her dream to protect everyone, but in the end, the fact that she couldn’t protect the man she loved broke her heart.
That’s why he breathed all his strength and life into Shiana’s magic. I put more effort into it than anyone else.
With one mind to save Aren, forgetting that he was dying. If he couldn’t become the protector of the people, he decided to become the protector of Aren.
“sorry.”
“Oh… … .”
Aren smiled bitterly and patted Cain’s head. It was something Cain had never done before.
Cain looked at Aren with his eyes wide open in surprise at the sudden stroke.
I was envious of Sianna, who was begging Aren to pet him, but I couldn’t describe how I felt when I was in an unexpected situation.
‘It’s not bad, it’s not… … .’
His face blushed and he tickled Aren, but he couldn’t hide his expression.
Anyway, thanks to you, I thought I could rest now. Cain was laid down next to Siana.
“Ugh. me too… … Come on, I’ll rest.”
Cain groaned as he felt pain all over his body. I felt like I would pass out at any moment.
Ackerman and Hoya were also in bad shape.
Ackerman was still able to hold on because he had so much stamina and mana.
“senior!”
When Aren laid Cain down, Bell ran up to him and hugged him. She didn’t care about her face as a saint or the stained blood.
Right now, I just enjoyed the fact that Aren came back alive and enjoyed his arms.
“You’re dead, you know… … . black, black… … . It’s too much.”
Bell buried her face in Aren’s chest, shedding tears like drops. Aren smiled bitterly and patted Bell on the back.
Bell must have suffered a lot too. After entering the world of demons, he would have eliminated all demons by himself, and would have prayed without sleep for everyone. It’s probably the physical limit.
The god of light gave him the power, so he’s barely holding on. Otherwise, it was natural for Bell to pass out like Sianna and Cain.
“Candidate Saint. thank you Thanks.”
I smiled as I wiped the tears from Bell’s cheeks. Bell said, ‘Ugh.’ I burst out crying.
“there… … . Guys? A tearful reunion is good.”
―The possessor, it seems that you are not the only one who came back alive.
As he patted the bell, Ackerman’s voice went somewhere. Acheron also sent me a telepathic warning.

Know.
I still had work to do.
Demon King Thanatos.
Or the soul of the ‘I’ of the Earth.
It’s time to complete the prophecy.

“greatness… … . Is this really good?”
“what.”
“I still can’t believe I’m fighting on the side of the humans.”
Devlani grumbled as she combed her heart’s tail. She and Krakchar were hiding in a quiet place and waiting for the right time just before the demon army invaded.
The timing they were waiting for was the moment when Bingryong appeared.
According to Aren, the moment Bingryong appears, you must summon the divine beast ‘Dune’ to stop him. And it was to show the demons fighting on the side of humans.
“Since the lord told me to do so, I will fight first… … . I mean, I’m very anxious. What if you don’t know that we helped and misunderstand us?”
“That’s something to think about when you go. you stupid.”
“Cha-am-na~ Have I lived too long? Kraktsar, I hear foolish things from a fool like you.”
“and. It’s a plan I’ve already agreed with the human leader, so what’s the problem?”
Devlani was surprised by Krakchar’s intelligence, which pointed out the point much more clearly than he thought.
“hey. Was your concept of pretending to be an idiot until now?”
“What are you saying?”
Devlani narrowed her eyes and studied Krakchar’s face carefully. No matter how you look at it, it was the ignorant Kraktsar who only knew that fight.
However, Krakchar only awakened after the death of a close friend.
The opportunity to deeply worry about demons and humans changed him 180 degrees.
“Because you weren’t that smarter than me in the first place?”
“… … that’s right huh.”
Devlani reluctantly admitted. Even though she looked vicious on the outside, Devlani was surprisingly quick to accept.
“Oh, it started.”
While the two were exchanging jokes, a battle began.
The monster army rained down on the barrier of the academy, and it didn’t take long for the barrier to break.
“The gate is growing.”
“okay… … .”
Devlani turned his head and looked up.
“Hey—old man! get ready! Coming soon!”
Being a demon, he is sensitive to the flow of demonic energy. Those who grasp the situation of the demon world much better than humans intuit that something tremendous is coming from the demon world.
“Shut up! Cheeky succubus! I’ll take care of it!”
At Bartolomeu’s remark, Devlani stuck out his middle finger and teased him.
Bartolomeu shook his head and unfolded the divine beast summoning scroll. At least among the demons, he was in charge of summoning new beasts because he was well versed in magic.
Since Aren had given her all her magical powers anyway, it was enough to just memorize the summoning chant. You just have to get the timing right.
‘It’s something to live for a long time.’
His impressions were not very different from the other two. To care about protecting the human realm is because the sun will rise in the west.
When everything is over… … . At that time, I was looking forward to what kind of new world would unfold. With Bartolomeu’s tenacious vitality, he would surely adapt and survive.
Eh, enemy…
just as expected.
As expected, Magi, who was not serious, tore the gate twice as large.
roar that follows. Ice dragon’s roar. temperature drops rapidly.
――――――――!
A dragon emitting cold air from a hole in the sky opened its mouth and descended.
“Disappear with the thunderclap–!”
The moment Bingryong’s breath fell, the grouse fell along with thunderbolts.
… … .
The breath would have penetrated the academy, obviously. Those who covered their heads were fine.
“Ha, look at the sky!”
“What, what!”
“That… … ?”
A reenactment of the mythological age.
A dragon that controls ice and a grouse that controls lightning are engaged in a fierce dogfight!
Blizzards and thunderstorms raged, creating an apocalyptic scene.
By the time the people were watching the fight on a different scale in awe, the offensive of the monster corps also faded at some point.
“Am I seeing something wrong?”
“no… … . That’s obviously… … .”
With the flag of the Braveheart family hanging from its tail, a succubus slaughtering monsters and a ferocious demon destroying everything were tearing monsters apart.
Demons attacking their own people for no reason had never been observed.
Above all, those two demons were fighting for humans. It’s a situation that doesn’t make sense, but it must have been good news.
Ironically, the human soldiers followed the two demons and marched with high spirits.
The tide turned.
Adelia was laughing quietly.
* * *
“Hoya. Take responsibility and evacuate to a safe place. The saintess candidate is now at her limit. Avoid it.”
“yes?”
“senior… … .”
when it’s time to finish It’s an all-out war with the demon king, so other guys shouldn’t get caught up in it.
The only ones who can fight properly are me and Ackerman.
Ackerman is probably on the verge of a limit. Just keep it aside to extract his ‘Way of the Warrior’ trait if needed.
Now there is no reason to worry about twisting the story. The treatment of the protagonist is also up to here. If necessary, I thought I would take everything but my life.
To see the ending, I’m just an 8-ton truck without a handle.
“hurry!”
“Ah Okay!”
“Please come back! senior!”
I know very well that having two more is rather a nuisance. So, without wasting any more time, the two of them each took Siana and Cain and left the demon king’s cave.
―I am the possessor. Was this the future you were waiting for?
I nodded at Acheron’s question and said.
‘yes. And I’m no longer a possessor.’
-What? what are you talking about.
‘I’m a local now.’
-what… … ?
‘done. come!’
The demon king smirked and kicked the floor.
Looking at his appearance, he has no realization that he is Hyeonsu. It seemed to be thoroughly in the state of the ‘Demon King’ of the original. I was convinced when I saw the Magina atmosphere that was exhaling.
You can take it down without any more guilt.
bang-!
I blocked the demon king’s fist with a purifier. However, the power was so strong that the demon king’s cave rang only with the waves.
“Haap!”
While I was marking the demon king, Ackerman drew a sharp line and aimed at the demon king’s neck. It was a flat slash that I believed I would avoid.
The demon king and I lowered our heads at the same time to avoid the attack.
“Keuk-!”
The demon king’s movements were as flexible as flowing water, and there was a firmness. He bent down and at the same time stretched out his right foot and struck Ackerman in the stomach.
Ackerman just walked away. The shock must have been so great that Ackerman could not get up.
He put all his energy and strength into taijutsu. Thanks to that, I evaluated it as a more powerful fighting technique than any other entity I faced.
Rather, if I attacked with magic or magic halfway, I was confident of countering all of them, but this was rather more difficult.
– I can’t! Guy Ackerman, passed out. You must fight alone.
‘okay?’
Is it unavoidable
Ackerman had already consumed most of his mana and stamina to save me. It was because it was too much to deal with the relatively lively demon king.
It’s the strength everyone put into trying to save me. I have to take responsibility.
‘I’ll take responsibility and kill the demon king.’
so… … .
I’m sorry.
I ran straight to Ackerman and put his blood on my hands.
―What are you doing?
Acheron asked, but there was no time to explain right now.
Because the demon king was poised to come running with a gust of wind.
“I have been struggling all this time. Ackerman.”
Well, actually, I had a hard time.
Anyway, take off the burden of being a ‘hero’.
I bet on Ackerman’s blood and cast black magic.
The blood of a warrior running through his veins. Extract the ‘Way of the Warrior’ attribute.

I wasn’t confident right now. quality yourself.
The demon king gathers mana. Magi rushes around him like a typhoon and grows stronger.
Magi, condensed beyond its limits, radiated energy like a black hole.
‘I’m being sucked in even if I’m standing still.’
Gradually, the body leaned toward the demon king. I tried to hold on, but the manpower was too strong.
The entire Demon Cave began to twist. If you hit that blow now, it’s no different than colliding with the black hole itself.
In any case, Mungara does not know the complex factors such as the mass and energy of black holes. Because that’s not a real black hole.
So, I pull out everything I can and cut it.
