Chapter 98 – The Final Chapter. Eric’s Hero Party (3)
Finally, the original demon entered the sealed final area.
And all the people who entered there were speechless.
“Nonsense. “Can so many demons exist in one place?”
At that time, Joo Na-yeon, who was near Jeong Ha-eun, muttered.
As she said.
The space of the underground dungeon was as wide as the city center of a large city.
A literal underground labyrinth city.
At the same time, it was nothing short of a scene of despair for the current party and humanity.
If the big city called Seoul is filled with people.
Those demons were filling up the great dungeon in front of me.
“There must be a primordial demon at the center of this underground city…”
What Yoo Yena said was right.
Ultimately, if the party does not enter the center of the city, their mission will fail.
But there are also people like ordinary citizens of that underground city.
Each one was full of danger, like a high-ranking A-level demon or higher.
Now, Jeong Ha-eun has surpassed the limits of her special skill, Enhancing the Five Senses.
So, if she concentrated on that sensation for a moment, she could feel its strength to the point where she thought she had assimilated with the demonic beast.
At that moment, everyone looked at Jeong Ha-eun.
As of now, Jeong Ha-eun is the only person who can draw the unlikely safe route.
‘No. There are no blind spots anywhere. I have no choice but to go through.’
But instead of answering, Jeong Ha-eun broke into a cold sweat.
Clearly, there are areas of relative laxity.
But there are hundreds, if not thousands, of demons there.
Even if you get through the defense line made up of those guys and get to the center.
Obviously, it’s Seo Soo-ah’s party now. The hero party members will not have any stamina left to face the primordial demon beast.
‘How should…’
All party members except her did a great job.
Jeong Ha-eun also didn’t want to lose.
Seo Soo-ah, whom I thought of as a rival from the beginning.
And she transferred in out of the blue.
Iris, who gained instructor Eric’s trust with her incredible talent.
The two proved their skills in this final mission.
Yuyena, a saint, was also constantly casting divine spells on her companions.
‘But… I have nothing now…’
From before, when I was competing with Seo Soo-ah like that.
Her sense of inferiority, which remained with her, weighed heavily on her spirit at that moment.
That’s right, it was that time.
“No need to worry. Because I trust you, Ha-eun.”
Her large hand grabbed Jeong Ha-eun’s slender shoulder.
Jeong Ha-eun’s warm touch made her body flinch for a moment. It was Eric.
“From now on, I am the one who will create the path. So Ha-eun, you just need to figure out the shortest route. And that is something you can do with your abilities.”
When Jeong Ha-eun heard those words, her heart was touched for a moment.
The daughter of the chairman of the ultra-conglomerate guild Helios.
But most people were only interested in the background and halo.
She didn’t look at herself as a person.
Rather, even her appearance was known to be outstanding.
Because no one wanted to recognize the delicate Jeong Ha-eun inside.
Well, except for Eric right in front of her.
“Eric… Instructor.”
“Your senses right now are more sensitive than the range I can perceive. Because your special skill, Strengthening the Five Senses, is special. “Will you believe me?”
At those words, Jeong Ha-eun could only nod her head.
She Jeong Ha-eun is on her own, she can’t believe in herself.
But Eric was different.
‘Okay. Now… I can really be sure. I also… Instructor Eric… No, I love Eric!’
I came forward passively because of Seo Su-ah and Iris, who are strong.
I never lost that feeling to these two people.
I didn’t want to give up on Eric.
Even if winning that heart is an uphill battle. This time, I really wanted to collide.
I also cut my hair short.
Because it was a small courage to break away from my weak self and approach Eric.
“All right. I’ll give it a try. “Oppa Eric.”
Without realizing it, she spoke the name she had only used within herself.
Eric stroked her light blue short hair as if he was proud of her.
“Then Ha-eun follows closely behind me. She will run to the shortest route. I am taking your party to the primordial demon beast!”
Uuuuu-
The dark red urethra that Eric was holding resonated.
Everyone nodded.
And we believed with one heart.
If it’s Eric, he will definitely succeed in clearing the way.
The party’s final assault began.
***
I squeezed my blood once again.
And only then did I stand still and cool down the blood that had boiled over.
“Oppa Eric…”
Sua looked at me and whispered.
I swung my sword like crazy.
I cut down all the demonic beasts in front of me.
Obviously the number is in the thousands. No, it may have been over 10,000 units.
‘The last time I wielded my blood to this extent was even when I was a mercenary king.’
Uuuuu-
The blood child that had absorbed the blood and vengeful spirit was screaming.
I briefly turned my head and looked back.
There, the scenery I had created was unfolding in a brutal way.
That scene was the result of me spewing out more life to erase the life directed only at me and that life.
“Eric… You were such a strong person.”
Joona Yeon couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
I, too, was a bit speechless at the sight I had created.
“The blessings left behind by the goddess’ holy relics. And it was possible because of the blessing of the warrior created by the current party.”
“Well… There’s nothing to be so humble about. “Because you created something that no one else could do.”
The party has now entered the place where the original demon beast was sealed.
So, in the concept of a regular dungeon, it was like entering a boss room.
‘Well, there is no time to get lost in sentimentality. ‘Because your previous performance doesn’t matter at all.’
My role ends here.
The main character of the original novel was not me.
The goddess’s request was also just an order to help Su-ah.
I looked at Su-ah.
The sword she received as a reward for winning the competition.
As soon as that special famous sword entered the current sealed area, it was like iron melting in a furnace.
It began to emit a bright red and dazzling light.
“This phenomenon…”
“All proofs of courage are over. “Now it’s time for you guys to finish.”
“We… That’s right. The path that Eric risked his life to open. So I’ll make sure it ends!”
Su-ah looked at me with red eyes.
Although we took the shortest route through Ha-eun’s special technique.
I cut down monsters like I was going crazy. My body was not unharmed either.
“Instructor Eric! “Treatment!!”
“No, I’m fine. “Now I must use all my remaining strength to slay the primordial demon beast.”
I put the blood clot on the floor.
The iron rule of mercenaries is that if you don’t fall, you win that day.
As I am standing on this earth. Blood was flowing all over my body, but there was no problem.
I knew very well that this was an immortal body.
‘Well, I have to show you this much. ‘My platoon members must be feeling something.’
I was convinced when I saw the message that appeared in the corner of my vision.
[The awakening of the warrior Seo Soo-ah has been completed. Her goddess’ holy sword begins to burn.]
At the same time, the rest of the cadets, including Su-ah.
Red auras were burning simultaneously on the bodies of the hero party.
“So, let me ask you a favor! “Let’s defeat that damn primordial beast and return to Nova Academy!”
Everyone nodded at those words.
And each person left the last words they wanted to say.
“Oppa Eric, I love you!”
“Eh… Eric! “I love you more than Seo Soo-ah!”
“… I… Me too…”
So Su-ah and Iris. Even Jeong Ha-eun shouted at once.
Yoo Ye-na, who was looking at this with joy, also shouted.
“Then I’d like to join that love party too!”
Although it was a subtle statement.
Still, I was honestly happy that he felt feelings for me.
“Mr. Eric…”
And Juna Yeon, with her hands clasped to her breast, looked at me. Even without saying anything more, I could feel all the emotions just by looking at his eyes.
I left the last words to the party members.
“As long as I am. You guys will never break down. “I’ll have your back.”
She said that and moved both her fingers to create her spell.
That is the Demon Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins.
A magic circle symbolizing the devil.
All my mana rotated rapidly, strengthening the mana of the party members.
“Oppa Eric…”
Sua, the party leader and warrior, seems to have sensed my mana.
And she nodded her head.
“Eric is with me. So let’s make sure we win!”
That was Sua’s first sincere shout-out to her fellow party members.
“We’re entering!”
Sua shouted to everyone.
Together, the party headed to the depths of the underground dungeon where the original demon was sealed.
Kyaaaaah-
And the primordial demon recognized the party members and let out its abyssal scream.
Even though that voice alone radiated fear enough to destroy a person’s spirit.
Among the current party members, none of them were shaken.
“It’s for Eric!”
And right there.
The awakened servant’s holy sword pierced the demonic beast’s heart.
***
Everything has been completed.
The original demon has finally disappeared.
That was a mission that even the heads of the Hunter Association thought were impossible.
However, I awakened as the Demon Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins.
And at the same time, the mission was successful thanks to the performance of Su-ah and the party, who had awakened as a warrior.
‘Is it… Finished?’
The moment when the original demon was destroyed.
I entered a space filled with pure white light.
“This is…”
Although the place felt unfamiliar.
I soon realized that this place felt strangely familiar.
“No way…”
It was like that. When he saved Iris, who almost died in Arnster, and died instead.
This space I entered.
This place, filled with pure white light, was the divine area where the goddess saved me.
“Thank you for your hard work. Eric. I would like to thank you.”
I turned my head to where the voice came from.
A familiar woman’s face.
The goddess was standing there.
