Warrior’s Sacrifice – 3
Some people raised their hands.
Whoops. Whoops.
But many more did not raise their hands.
That scene was shared with us and all the people of the continent.
Neryl murmurs involuntarily.
[This is surprising.]
[Well.]
[Originally, I thought that the overwhelming decision would be ‘Keep the Demon King alive.’]
Because I was thinking 9 to 1.
However, those who raised their hands unexpectedly were not so overwhelming.
Then Xenia said.
[Roughly 6 to 4 to 7 to 3.]
[Are there any errors?]
[I can’t count the number of opinions right away, but I can never be wrong as far as whether it exceeds a majority or not. You saw it through the eyes of Agril.]
In fact, without even borrowing Agril’s name, if he asks anyone on the road to join him, he will return the same answer.
I measured the timing and opened my mouth with a voice.
“I want to say it again in case there is any misunderstanding. Raise your hand if you want to kill the Demon King and sentence the Demon King to death.”
But still that percentage did not change.
I nodded to Neryl.
She silently showed the next estate.
“This time it is Avis Youngji. If you need to kill the Demon King right now, please raise your hand.”
It was roughly the same this time.
The next map.
And the next Yeongdo.
Occasionally the ratio was changed to 5.5 to 4.5 in some territories, but it was clear that more humans wanted to keep Idria alive.
how long has it been
“Finally, let’s see this capital city.”
And it was the same result.
Serene said.
[If you calculate it by converting it to the proportion of the entire continent… … It’s about 6.2 to 3.8. 62% of people are saying we need to save the Demon King.]
[Oh, were you counting?]
[yes. As you well know, I have a genius talent for counting.]
[Normally, it is said that the calculation is a little bright.]
[You cannot lie in front of the Demon King of Lies.]
I laughed bitterly.
That was then.
widely.
screen pops up.
＜This is an agenda for adding a new rule.＞
＜The content is ‘All the energy of wealth will be concentrated on the Demon King Idria.’＞
＜If this rule is added, there will be no more heroes and demon lords in the world.＞
Ever since he gained the omniscient eye, this screen window Bion has spoken as a sentence as if it were a living person.
But now I felt a bit of a clerical tone.
It’s not that I’m particularly sorry for that.
‘Like… … .’
It just felt like returning to a professional image when I was doing my job.
＜That law could violate the ‘core law’ of the corner stone.＞
＜Some conditions are attached to this. I will check if the conditions are met.＞
I swallowed my saliva once.
＜I informed mankind of the fact that ‘Idria contains all feelings of wealth.’＞
＜The existence of the trail, which can be said to be a safety device for mankind, has been hidden.＞
＜Nevertheless, more than half of the people agreed to ‘Keep the Demon King alive’.＞
Then a word was added to the sentence.
＜It was very expedient.＞
“I thought I was going to be a pro a while ago.”
＜Anyway, this allows us to add a new rule. Do you want to add it right away?＞
“Wait a minute.”
There is one additional thing I was aiming for while planning this project.
No, maybe I was expecting more this way.
I was 100% certain that humanity would decide to keep the Demon King alive.
So he wasn’t too concerned.
Well, it was closer than I expected, but… … Because the results didn’t change.
‘What I’m really curious about is this.’
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
“I will tell you the results. You must have seen it already.”
“… … .”
“The results were very unexpected. Xenia, first cancel vision sharing.”
Then Xenia mumbled something to Agril.
Soon the view will change.
Neril’s Append View is still there, so now the people of all continents are the judges… … Among them, you will be looking at me.
I said.
“As you can see, you have decided to keep Idria alive.”
“Ugh.”
“Soldier, what can I say… … .”
“Sobbing. I’m sorry. really sorry.”
“Shit. I just want to die.”
A murmur of sighs and mourning was heard from the left.
Surprisingly, surprisingly, they did not criticize those who opposed them.
Is it because I am here?
That might be one of the reasons, but it certainly isn’t the only one.
‘Because I understand.’
Those who made a different choice than me.

Very good.I hope that even after the heroes and demon lords disappear, they will maintain that attitude.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
May fightcan argue
You may feel nauseous or sad.
But now they must be engraved deep in their bones.
Obviously, no more demon lords will descend.
But at the same time, there is no longer the hero who protected them.
I said in my mind.
‘Now the person who will protect you is not a hero.’
Next to you, a normal person just like you.
fuck.
I smiled involuntarily.
One of those who lamented saw my smile and said:
“The warrior… … Did you laugh?”
“You seem to be misunderstanding one thing. Not only those here, but all of you across the continent.”
“… … ?”
“Why are you apologizing to me? I did not disappoint you at all.”
At first, it seemed like everyone didn’t take my word for it easily.
It seemed as if they were trying to embrace their faults generously with me as a hero.
I continued to say it was insignificant.
“I am serious. Why am I disappointed in you?”
“… … .”
“If you forgot, I will tell you again. I told you about the Flood. Raising a warrior is… … .”
“humanity.”
“Yes. I am the warrior you have built. How can I criticize your choices? What are you accusing me of?”
I raised my voice.
“I understand your decision. I respect that decision.”
“… … !”
“But at the same time, I will do what I have to do as a warrior.”
“Wow, what?”
“Please watch.”
whistle. widely.
I turned to Idria.
As I had agreed beforehand, she was acting a rather triumphant expression.
“Fufu. I won, Maid.”
“… … .”
“Humanity was blinded by the immediate survival and made selfish choices. They will be condemned beyond words by their descendants a thousand years from now.”
“… … .”
“Well, that’s something I’m grateful for. I will keep my promise. I will not appear in the world for the next thousand years.”
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Did you not hear what I just said?”
“What… … ah.”
“okay. Did you say you would do what you had to do as a warrior?”
“… … .”
“You hit the blind spot well. I didn’t know you could save your life by intimidating humanity in this way. It is truly a devilish workmanship.”
I spoke slowly.
“So I’m going to do something like a hero.”
“Wow, what are you talking about? Speak straight!”
“Should I get my sword back first?”
In Idria’s abdomen, there is still the warrior’s sword… … A fake sword decorated with
This is known as the sword that sealed the power of Idria.
swoosh.
I pulled it out without hesitation.
gurgle.
“Ugh.”
Idria looked up at me without even thinking to heal her bulging stomach.
A murmur is heard from the left.
“Yo, warrior?”
“Why did you draw your sword… … .”
“Are you mad at us? So, did you break the seal of the Demon King?”
“calm down. There’s no way a hero would do that!”
I shouted at everyone.
“everyone. Do you believe in Idria’s thousand-year promise?”
“… … that, that.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t believe it. Think of her blatant lies revealed at the first trial. Did Idria, who left so many examples, suddenly become honest in this era?”
Idria intervenes in surprise.
“Oh, no. I will keep my promise.”
“I didn’t tell you!”
“… … !”
“Well, I respect your choices. But at the same time, I wish for the eternal well-being of this world.”
someone asked in a trembling voice.
“Uh, how could that be possible?”
“I will watch Idria forever.”
“Yes? But Maid will surely die someday. In the underworld, you can’t have any influence on this world… … .”
“Exactly. So I will take Idria to the underworld.”
For a moment, everyone has a shocked expression on their faces.
I looked at my companions.
Then, with a sad expression on his face, he opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry for making such a sudden decision.”
“No, Maid.”
“I will die with Idria. And in the underworld, I will continue the ‘eternal battle’ with that demon king’s soul. So that Idria cannot be resurrected again!”
wobble.
Neryl staggered as if dizzy.
Xenia grabbed her shoulder and cried out desperately.
“No! That is unacceptable.”
“Zenia.”
“You can’t come all the way here and send Maid first.”
“But this is the only way. In order to prevent Idria from resurrecting even if killed, there is no other choice but to prevent her from returning from the underworld.”
Offense opened his mouth.
The image he usually showed to the public was serious and strict.
But now he was in a state of excitement that didn’t fit that image.
“Can not be done. You have your own life after you saved the world!”
“… … .”
“I want to spend relaxing and happy days with your lover Neryl in a quiet place. Yes, you said you wanted to retire.”
“… … .”
“I thought it was too simple a dream for a hero like you to draw. Because I thought you deserved much more respect.”
He grinded it out.
“By the way, are you going to give up even that simple wish? For the people of this age who have passed on their burdens to future generations for immediate well-being?”
Yeah, you’re doing great.
That was the role Offense played in this play.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My dream is to retire.It was a small dream that even criminals, not warriors, could draw at least once.
Offense dared to point out the fact that he would give up for the sake of mankind only when he had to give up even that simple wish.
‘Isn’t this going to go up a bit? My reputation.’
[You are great too.]
‘Because it’s the last time.’
[ok?]
‘I have a feeling that this is the last time. I think this will be my last job to increase my reputation.’
So, go as flashy as possible.
Anyway, after Offense, Serrain and Lissel said.
“Mister Maid, don’t do that.”
“Right. Find another way. It has always been that way.”
I shook my head.
“Sorry for both of you giving back such an answer. But this is the best I can come up with.”
“… … .”
“The offense was right. Yes, my dream was a happy retirement. Maybe I could have called it my lifelong dream, but… … .”
I just looked up at the sky.
Neryl, are you illuminating it well?
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My face now, filled with many thoughts.The figure of a warrior who is willing to sacrifice himself for the world.
“But for the sake of this world, it is a dream that can be given up.”
