201 – 58-1. Fate is a cruel law.
It’s finally over.
A corpse with its head blown off, the sky clearing of darkness.
After I completely cut off the demon king’s head, the subspace returned to its original state.
“I did it.”
The armor that was wrapped around my body disappeared, and the sword that had been merged into one split into two and fell to the floor with a clanging sound.
Now, the demonization has come to an end. Because I almost lost Fine.
Even if you write a glitch, there are limited conditions. Perhaps this can only be used when fighting the demon lords of the Cult of Dragons.
“Licht..?”
“Kai!!”
I hear the voices of people I know behind my back.
A humming voice. Another voice came running towards the blonde-haired hero and hugged him.
“You idiot!! Why are you fighting alone again!!”
“Sorry, sorry. Still, I don’t think I’ll ever see him get hurt.”
The hero and the wizard finally reunited after defeating the demon king. The two are talking with tears in their eyes.
The way they hugged each other made me feel sick to my stomach.
I decided to leave it as it is for now. The trauma that has plagued them for a long time cannot be healed all at once.
‘Because I avenged myself.’
People must move forward even with scars. The facts that Fine told me when I was young.
Thinking about that, I looked to the side, and Fine was walking slowly toward me.
Are you angry? Or were you worried?
It is a picture of the golden eyes inside the glass helmet widening and stepping faster.
Footsteps, footsteps that grow from beat to thump.
It was scary enough to see a heavily armored glass knight running towards me.
Because I know the identity.
“Mardol, I got rid of it.”
She happily greeted her. Then the footsteps that came running stopped suddenly, and Fine Grancia pointed a finger over my head.
“Lee, Licht… do you have ears… no… tails?”
“Yes..? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Seeing his sudden panic, he touched the top of the helmet with his hand and caught something fluffy.
And a huge cotton ball-like object that thumps the back.
“Mr. You have puppy ears and a tail now?”
“Puhahahaha! What are you like? Licht.”
The couple of warriors next to me only then confirmed the abnormality and smiled while looking at me. Cainell laughs so hard that the clown looks sick with a squeak.
Now I have wolf ears on top of my helmet, like they’re made of cotton.
“Licht. I became a real wolf.”
“Don’t touch me. I’m confused about something….”
It was Fine who came close to me and touched my ears and tail several times, then laughed and said hehehe.
The golden eyes inside the glass helmet enlarge and then draw soft arcs.
Dearness covered with conviction.
Is it my karma for turning the holy sword of light that Fine made into my soul sword?
If that’s not the case, maybe it’s the mastery of combining two swords into one.
There must be a reason why Emperor Roch saw me before and said that I had wolf ears and a tail in my soul.
Every time she touches my ears and tail, her whole body trembles. How many minutes was it like that?
“Oh, it’s gone. It was cute.”
Soon the tail and ears disappeared from the back of my head and back. Pine immediately lowered her head. The pure white wolf ears and tail under the armor were enough to recognize the shape without even looking at it.
It seems to disappear naturally after using the soul sword. I thought it would be fine if it stayed like this.
“….”
The moment I let out such a short sigh, a pink status window popped up on me.
[Kynel♡Ariel 75% ‘NEW!’]
The number 75 percent and hearts that overflow and fall to the floor.
Writings approaching me as if I was relieved to face the reality again.
Why isn’t it 100 percent?
My hand naturally went to the chin of the helmet.
Kinel’s ultimate hasn’t been completed yet. Is it not 100 percent?
‘..As far as I remember.’
Around the end of , The two confessed their love for each other.
And Kanel and Ariel were able to use their ultimate skills.
“Ariel, dealing with Cyclops was amazing. As expected, the skills I had from burning my hair when I was young didn’t go anywhere.”
“What?! This is real Kai, are you kidding me like that right now?!”
The two of them worry about each other while joking even though they almost came back to life. In a way, it’s a match made in heaven.
The ignorant warrior and the shy wizard now speak frankly without hiding their feelings.
“Speaking of which…. If it wasn’t for Kai at that time, I would have been afraid to use fire magic.”
“What? That was just a mistake Everyone does it at least once.”
They share stories from their childhood.
It is their own memories that cannot be invaded by others, and the vague memories that only childhood friends can know.
When a girl with more magic power accidentally burned a boy’s hair, Kynell just laughed it off.
“No, but… I was able to deal with that demon king today.”
A red-haired girl hugged by a boy with blond hair. Now, even putting down the name of the mad wizard, he whispers something in Kainel’s ear.
“Your virtue was the greatest. Cainell.”
It must have been a fairly effective attack, and Kynell’s ears were turning red. The corner of her mouth went up a little at the sight that was hard to see.
[Lee Suhyun♡Fine Grancia 39% ‘NEW!!’]
Fine and I’s romance also increased. I don’t know when it grew like this.
I thought that the message from the status window would be over, just as I was about to look away.
[WARNING.]
The status window that showed the degree of love while showing pink waves went somewhere, and the bright red status window I saw before covered my eyes.
[The penalty for failing the Grand Route will be revealed.]
Writing and ominous writing, as if written in blood. The yellow police line that had been hanging down was released, revealing its true identity.
[Failure: Demonization]
A bitter taste lingered in my mouth, and I felt as if my whole body was unscrewed.
Is this what the producers have warned me about since before?
The existence of a demon god did not appear even in the setting book.
At most, that was the name of the war the Demon Lords of the Cult of the Braves fought before they fell. It didn’t end before the ten girls appeared.
My teeth gnashed at the countless remaining hardships.
Now I am only the second demon king. How much more effort do you have to make to defeat the final boss, Magic Hat?
‘..Drinking.’
The black-haired Fine Grancia I saw in my dream kept haunting me. She looked at me with sad eyes and red eyes. The scent of roses that takes her breath away.
Do I become a demon or will Fine become a demon?
“Richt… I’m breaking out in a cold sweat. Are you okay?”
Fine puts her hand on my forehead and lifts it. She was trying to see if she had a fever. It was revealed that she was frightened.
“It’s okay.”
I tried to hide my face by lowering my helmet. Fine’s hand, which lets out a brief sigh, moves away without being able to reach it.
How can I overcome this? How the hell….
Even if she tells her that she will become a demon, she won’t be able to get rid of her root cause in the end. After all, it must be related to the demon kings of the cult of warriors.
It made sense if Fine’s prophecy was to defeat her Demon God, and if suppressing it was the dragon cult’s ulterior motive.
Confirmed kill. If I take all of her powers and turn her into a nameless saint and then kill her, she won’t be left behind.
“….”
At that moment, something flashed into my mind. The blood-stained notepad I saw in the Library of Truth.
“Fine, how long will the temple of Pantos take from here?”
I held Fine’s shoulders and talked. Because if she’s the hero of her dear, and if she should awaken, there’s no place like this.
God of emotions. Pantos, the sand spirit. There must be an answer in the temple where emotions are entangled like a maze.
***
After more time passed, we were back in Calcium Valley.
A field of gravel caught on your toes. The surroundings are a mess due to the valley water that has been pushed in once and then drained.
I saw Quer lying in the distance, split in half.
It must have been sacrificed while trying to stop Finn and Intinium.
—Kreurreuk.
When I approached Quer with a heavy heart, he handed me a tree branch and was barely breathing. Do you know that I am a warrior of conviction?
Or maybe he wants revenge. I tried to use healing magic on him while accepting the tree branch, which was like a keepsake.
“My body has already exceeded its limits. Richt…”
Fine looked at me and shook her head. He must be saying that healing magic is impossible because he is already dead.
I bit my lower lip and swallowed. In the meantime, the faculty members shouted when they found us who had disappeared.
“Richt-kun..?”
“Kinel, Ariel student! Where have you been!”
It seems everyone was worried about us.
Looking up at the blue sky, the sun is rising. The battle took a long time, so it was morning.
As the faculty members ran toward us, making sure we were not hurt, they started bombarding us with questions about what had happened.
“Could you give me a minute? Professor Dennis.”
I called only Dennis out of them and moved.
After confirming that he had even used soundproofing magic, he separated from the students at the academy and told them the story from before.
“..As expected, it is the work of the cult of warriors. The fact that it rained was also made up by them.”
“Yes, it is. Professor Dennis.”
Because even Queru died, and the uneasy feelings welled up. I felt it was dangerous to talk about what happened right there.
“Although I managed to protect the students by creating a three-dimensional magic circle….”
Then Dennis tilted his head.
As if someone had noticed something strange, he was checking the list of people who had traveled to the valley.
“How the hell did the Brave Brothers know we were leaving for Calcium Valley?”
Dennis’ hand stopped as he lowered it as he looked closely at each name written on the parchment floating in the air.
“There was a spy inside. One of the teaching assistants has disappeared.”
“….”
A blank space in Drake’s teaching assistant’s seat. It was the name Blanc should have been. Where did this creepy woman go?
“..Magic Hat?”
“I guess so. Richt.”
She hid her face and revealed our location. Looking at the power of lies that erased his name from the records, only me remembers the existence of Blanc.
“Let’s turn the train around. Professor Dennis.”
“..To where? Back to the academy?”
If you teleport with the help of Dennis, you can be stepped on like last time. However, using a wagon is slow.
I thought about it some more, then I talked while looking at the train in front of me. A means of transportation prepared for us by the emperor himself.
No matter how far away the temple is from here.
“No, please head to the temple of Pantos.”
A train powered by magical energy should be able to arrive before the Brave Bridge.
