Chapter 534 – The Hero’s Memories
I swear, I’ve never seen a beauty like Mari.
Although he had met many beauties due to his position as a warrior, it was the first woman who was as beautiful as Marie and exudes a kind and beautiful aura.
From the first meeting with her, she felt special.
That this person is different from other people.
Now that I think about it, Marie’s attitude towards me was no different from other people’s.
As befits a follower of Narnia, he admires me while having difficulty with me, a normal, if ordinary, reaction.
Well, that’s not the point.
I desperately tried to talk to her while hiding my shyness, and even though Marie was shy, she accepted everything I said and treated her kindly.
We became very close after only one day’s expedition.
The monster that was the problem?
The people who were harmed by the guys.
And her desire to look good for Marie, the fear in her young heart and the guilt of taking life had long since disappeared.
2 seconds.
Having annihilated the monster that made the mighty knights struggle, I raised my sword high above the corpse.
Received cheers from the people, I smiled at Marie.
If I had seen it for eight days… I would have cursed for being an idiot.
So I deliberately did not show this memory.
Even if he was precocious, who would say anything about a child who was still a boy who had never dated a member of the opposite sex and wanted to impress a girl with a cool pose, but anyone would make fun of him.
However, Marie was not as calm as I was.
She tried to remain steadfast, but deep inside her she felt a trembling.
I was afraid of taking my life.
The thought of him as a good person deepened his crush.
Perhaps her cardinal, who had recommended her to me, called her delight into herself.
Marie had great talent to become the youngest cardinal, but she had almost no political standing, so she was his direct subordinate. As much as Marie became friends with me, she must have expected that she, the boss, would fall for him as well.
I didn’t know that at the time.
He just went around with Marie, focused on subduing monsters and saving the people.
It was a busy day.
Days when I dozed off despite having a superhuman body.
However, when I fell asleep, Marie covered me with a blanket and watched over me by her side.
The warmth of Marie watching over her was much greater than the tiredness of labor.
And by the time our hearts are getting bigger and we are sure of each other’s hearts. She said.
“I’m happy to meet you.”
We kissed
Made love
4 years passed like that.
Over the past four years, I have posted countless achievements, and my name has been buzzing all over the world beyond the Aegis continent.
He also had skills worthy of his reputation.
Compared to other warriors, I was strong enough to be called too much.
Among the warriors, I was the only one who was able to subdue the Bone Dragon hidden in the monster forest.
Seongguk took this as an opportunity to expand its territory.
Even if it wasn’t so, other religious countries that had been pushed back by Narnia had a narrower position.
It didn’t matter to me.
A sense of duty to save even one more person, like a hero, swept over me.
Clown child.
This is a scene worthy of self-help and laughter.
A foolish bastard who will save people on the subject of only doing what Seongguk tells him to do and not having any doubts about their orders.
And, a clumsy and immature guy.
But I was just as happy.
Yes… At this time, I was secretly in love with Marie.
We weren’t officially lovers because Seongguk said he wanted to hide it, but we always stuck together.
I loved her dearly, and so did her Marie.
The eyes she looked at me were always filled with her affection.
Even in battle, she is the best partner.
Now… I’m not deliberately growing her, but the grown-up girl surpasses her Mullin Critz’s resilience and allows her to regenerate her severed limbs to her heart’s content, even allowing her to be reconstructed… She is a true ‘saint’. Was close to
Of course, Saint Evelyn at that time also possessed divine power comparable to her, but she had a problem with her personality, so she thought Mary was a woman worthy of being a saint.
From this point on, I took it for granted that she would cover me with the blanket that she had covered me while I was sleeping soundly, and that she would watch over me as I slept.
I took this happiness for granted.
The will to kill boils.
…The Narnian leadership at this time was very amused.
It was because there were a lot of talented people, led by me, Marie, and Evelyn.
In particular, I was told that I was the strongest in the world by defeating a number of infamous monsters, criminals, and demon lords…Even demon lords.
If you think about it by human standards, it wouldn’t have been very wrong.
It is an undeniable fact that he is quite strong even by my current standard, having seen all kinds of strong people.
Probably, it would have been the level of a high-ranking demon in Purgatory 1.
So I was in awe.
Just like the fanatic Nanar said, it seemed that everyone would bless me in front of me, and nothing could stand in my way.
Seongguk thought so too.
Paralyzed by repeated miracles, they… Tried to expand their age.
It showed a movement to suppress other religions and revise the religions of other kingdoms to fanaticism.
He even went so far as to say that there should be no gods in the world but fanaticism.
Since they were so depraved, there were hardly any forces that came to help on ‘that day’.
…
I don’t want to think.
I don’t want to think about the upcoming scene.
Anyway, from this time when Seongguk was active in expanding its territory, countless marriage talks came to me.
Even though they knew that I was in love with Marie, the higher ups kept asking me about marriage.
But the bastard I was was an asshole.
He thought he didn’t need any other woman besides Marie, but he didn’t express it.
The hero was filled with an idiot-like sense of mission to be kind to everyone, so he didn’t refuse.
Marie must have been anxious, but I hadn’t even thought about that.
How distressed she must have been with her kind heart.
Every time I saw soldiers with their limbs cut off, every time countless lives disappeared, whenever I was injured… More than anything, whenever the evil of Narnia, the kingdom I believed in, got worse and worse, my face became haggard.
Even so, she put me ahead of herself and loved me.
On the subject of shedding tears even over cat corpses, he followed me to the field of human corpses and treated people without caring about getting his clothes dirty in the battlefield overflowing with blood. For the sake of my reputation, I took off my feet and emitted divine power at any event.
How was I?
As a child, she thought only Marie was the most beautiful woman, but as she grew up, she found out that she wasn’t necessarily like that either.
For example, girls from teenage families. The women called ten beauties were as good as Marie. No… There were children who were more beautiful than Marie.
Ashita Lacey, the daughter of the Sword Saint, was so beautiful that I couldn’t breathe after seeing so many people.
Of course, even in the midst of that, her love for Marie did not change.
They didn’t pay attention to anything other than my status as a hero, but I didn’t even think about wishing myself.
However, he did not actively reject the women who came.
According to Narnia’s order, she joked around and played with women who wanted to talk with me.
Sometimes, he would leave her Marie alone.
Even when she did, she prayed for me alone in her room.
…Silly.
It would have been nice if you had thrown away things like me.
Did I mention earlier that the position of other religious countries has gradually narrowed?
They, whose age had been reduced for a long time, took out super-precipitation water.
Religious countries united with each other… And went to attack the ‘division’.
Division.
The boundary between demons and humans created after the end of the war between humans and demons 10,000 years ago.
It was full of relics and monsters from the war.
As the war ended, it was a barren land that even the demons had no confidence to control.
A land where humans cannot live.
Even I, who can become stronger by monopolizing all the opportunities I have now, is cautious about attacking.
I, the humans, were intoxicated and arrogant with repeated successes.
I thought I could get rid of the division that my ancestors had warned me not to enter.
He even thought he could win against all the demons.
Upon the news that the division was being attacked, all kinds of strong people warned me that it was too much.
That the demon kings of Jin Purgatory would not stand still.
When the other side is still, you should be still too. To increase strength
I, Narnia, ignored all warnings.
It was self-evident that other religious countries would feel a sense of crisis.
When the Religious Alliance except for Narnia departed, we followed right behind.
I, who had already heard the voice of the strongest human being 3 years ago, was twice as strong as 3 years ago, and I should be able to defeat even the demon king of 1 purgatory without difficulty.
It was a force worthy of arrogance.
At least among humans.
Even Marie seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
She was always haggard, but Marie followed me with her gear.
Now that I think about it, I must have been happy just because I wasn’t hooked up with other women.
Okay.
We were arrogant enough to have such a complacent perception that Marie, who was faithful and sincere, attacked the division.
We, the Paladins of Narnia, who boasted of being stronger than anyone else, were territorial against the personnel of the Allied Powers. Even if we unite with each other, it’s not enough.
In fact, it was worth bragging about.
Religious unions were blocked from entering from the outside of the division.
However, when I, the Warriors of Light and the Holy City of Light radiated divine power, the division, which was full of all sorts of miasma and darkness, showed clear results enough to be largely purified.
Okay. I should have been suffocating.
Fanaticism was the only doctrine, and the rest was a miracle to the point of despising them as inferior.
That was what led me to think so.
Nanar. That damn kid.
He must have foreseen my destiny from then on.
He must have known what it meant to purify the division.
We crushed all enemies who stood in our way.
Witch Beast. Army of monsters.
A ruthless demon lord.
They were destroying everything and purifying the miasma to eliminate the division.
Like I said, I don’t know what that means.
‘The Demon King of Revelation’ Isisa.
After the death of the true demon king, she is a demon whose purpose in life is only to receive his revelation and practice his will like a saint, and a milestone for demons who spit out wisdom that will actually come true in the future.
Among the contents of the prophecy she spat out was this.
The true demon king said.
Leave the division that separates us from humans until My Resurrection.
If you try to get rid of the division, it’s God’s trick, or the time has come.
Follow the judgment of my spokesman.
Prepare or
Or, kill it.
Isisa chose to kill.
This is because it is not yet time for the division to disappear.
Turning around for a moment, our power was amazing.
Five thousand paladins who each have a history of defeating monsters alone.
Three thousand priests with at least 5 years of experience in purifying and curing demons.
There were over a hundred high priests and paladins on the throne to subdue the demon king, and there was one warrior who single-handedly cut the demon king.
And even if it was declining, even if it rots, Junchi. Even though the power of the United Religious Bureau might be a bit inferior, it was about that much.
I dare say, with that level of strength, I would have been able to easily defeat the restricted Kai King, the Demon King of Jin Purgatory, and Shin.
The reason why I didn’t understand it was because that level of power… It was meaningless power in the end.
The end came suddenly.
A man came to the garrison built after purifying about 1/3 of the division.
Appearance nothing special.
A young demonic man with pointy ears, dressed in everyday clothes as if he had come from anywhere.
He should have realized early on how special his behavior was in a place where there were only irrational monsters.
If you realized it, would you have been able to win against it?
No.
Could have run away
In the end, it wouldn’t have made any sense.
The young man, intoxicated with victory and mission, walked among the humans who were crying out to tear the demons to death.
“Where…”
Make eye contact with me and smile.
For the first time in his life, when his whole body stiffened and he tasted the coldness of ice in his chest.
A part of the ‘Four Great Demon Kings’ said this guy.
“First of all, ‘Death to those for whom God is first of heart.’ “
“…”
When you come to your senses.
The surroundings were full of blood fog.
Most of the people I’d walked on the battlefield with for years… Disappeared in one fell swoop.
“…Uh?”
When one of the paladin captains standing next to me let out a blank moan.
What else did the man who caused the death say?
Then the captain died.
Every time I speak, people explode.
Panic. Scream. Fear.
Faithfulness and piety vanished from those gathered in the name of the god, leaving a crowd dominated by fear.
People were killed in an instant, without even having time to escape.
All that’s left is me and Marie. And there are only two surviving warriors from another country who peed in their pants.
Okay.
Two of the four people who were called brave people, if not as much as me, died.
The fact that Nana and Mari were safe was only because of luck.
At that time, I… Even though I had the same strength as I do now. Had he only said one word, he would have died without resistance.
“Heo-euk…! Heo-euk…!”
Breathed heavily.
In my head… A great fear… And the thought that, fortunately, I had to protect Marie.
She still had a sense of mission to protect her… !
Paaaaat
In accordance with the situation, light surged from the sky and enveloped us.
I felt that the enemy’s unknown attack was ‘weakened’.
I was full of courage.
Gwangshin, Jusin, and Nanar are helping me…!
God is behind me!
“Goes!!”
Shout your voice and transform your fear into courage.
No, I should call it Man-yong.
“Oops. Hand-to-hand combat isn’t my hobby…”
At the same time, a clash with the demons with demonic energy in their hands.
I have a couple of times. I competed with the guy.
Overwhelmingly defeated.
It wasn’t even a fight.
In the first sum… The neck fell off.
Marie screamed and regenerated me, only to realize that I couldn’t win.
In her second sum, she was buying time to let herself escape.
And he was lying on the floor with his limbs severed.
Mari’s divine power was obstructed by the demonic energy it exhaled and disappeared.
“…Keep, heck…”
“Hmm.”
The man bent over and stared at my face, clicking his tongue.
“I don’t think so.”
“…”
What, is it not?
“Hey. Do you know who I am?”
“…”
I do not know.
Just, the realization of death, the fear, came to the point that even Mari couldn’t think of it.
I was afraid.
I used to be like that
I am different now.
I stare ferociously at the subject of my dreams and nightmares.
That damn child.
One of the Four Great Demon Kings.
Hardesh, the demon of death.
He pointed at Marie and said.
“Do you want to save that child?”
“…”
Couldn’t answer.
The fact that my body regenerated before I knew it… I didn’t notice for a while.
“Convince yourself that you are a warrior. Prove the value of the deaths of the comrades who followed you.”
At the end of his words, countless cracks opened in the back of the man, and a demon came out.
Among them, there were plenty of demon kings who were so strong that their bodies shuddered.
“Try to defeat even one demon king.”
And I was defeated
Feeling intimidated? Suffering?
I couldn’t justify that.
It was because I fought with my skills properly, unaware of the pain and fear from being overcome by evil in the middle.
Was defeated nonetheless.
I was weak.
“It’s disappointing.”
“…”
“Is this the strongest human being… If so, why did our great god create division…”
The demon king of death shook his head and said ah. And gained enlightenment.
“Yes! It’s false.”
“…”
“At least you’re not the strongest one, are you?”
“Ugh, ugh…”
“To attack the division on such a subject…”
“Heh… Heh… Billion…”
Crawled
I wanted to live.
I didn’t pray pathetically, but I crawled away in tears.
Amidst the giggling of the demons… Someone hugged me.
Warmth like a blanket.
Number of animals.
“…Beautiful love.”
“…”
“Nanar’s clown. Is that man full of potential your precious one?”
Didn’t answer.
To my horror, I couldn’t.
Mary answered instead.
The amiable woman who was terrified to even look at her corpse. She took it boldly.
“Yes…Then, I will give you my last mercy.”
The demon lord of death pointed to Marie and then to me.
“Be patient.”
Clap! Cheolguk!
Numerous blades made of demonic energy protruded from his surroundings.
“Endure the pain.”
“…”
“If you quit halfway, woman, I will spare you.”
“…Yes.”
“M-Mari…”
I want to kill me for calling her name in the middle.
I wanted to kill that idiot who asked me not to abandon me.
However, I can’t.
Because this is a dream.
Because it’s a nightmare.
Even if my hands trembled, the nightmare clinging to these eyes could not be erased.
“If you don’t quit. That hero will be saved.”
“…Yes.”
“It’s good eyes…”
At the end.
Mary’s eyes gouged out.
Marie wasn’t strong in pain.
She protected her body with her divine power and her body was strong, but she was so weak that she thought she was too cruel… She was weak to pain.
She is like that
Her eyes gouged out
Raw, her skin peeling.
Her fingernails are pulled out.
Organs are broken…
Even when that pure white robe was covered in blood… He didn’t groan.
She doesn’t even run away.
“Aaaaa-!!”
Her asshole came to her senses.
She howled and defended her with all her life, her wounds raised her body, her light raised. She went out of her way to protect her most precious being.
But.
Iron!!
Her chains entangled me.
‘The Demon King of Freedom’ fan drum.
“Ego.”
The guy let out a laugh.
“I’ll give you… ‘Freedom’ to spectate.”
“Aaaaa!!”
He pulled out her arm and ran in front of her. It hurt.
However, the anger was greater.
Fortunately, I also had that much anger at that time.
However, the Demon King of Freedom’s restraint repeated restraint and restraint even after cutting off her arm.
I changed the operation.
“Yes, yes! Marie! Endure! Endure a little more! Save me!!”
I begged Marie desperately.
Even so, he tried to get rid of me.
I wanted to stop enduring and live.
But Marie smiled lightly.
Like thank you
She knew me too well
It’s been a few hours.
Until the time when my tears dried up and no voice came out of my throat, Marie endured.
“How can you endure this much even though you doubled the pain!!”
Match. Match.
The demon king of death clapped his hands.
“It is truly beautiful love!”
“Aaaaa…”
An iron chain blocked my mouth.
To the demon lord of death, I was just an obstacle.
“Girl.”
“…”
“Sleep in a comfortable death. You deserve it.”
The demon lord of death did not particularly attack Marie.
Okay.
Even if someone didn’t kill her, Marie’s body couldn’t stand it anymore.
Attack of her death demon The energy of her death that dwells in each of her invades her… She will meet her death.
Please.
Please.
Having longed for her to die rather than suffer for her, I, ironically, now wanted her to live.
Without her eyes, she crept up in front of me and took my hand with hers with her bare fingernails.
“Number of animals…! Number of animals…!”
She said to me, who was not at all like a warrior, pouring out her tears and mucus.
“Meeting you…”
In a cracked voice.
“I’m happy.”
Just like when we first met.
Parss.
Marie turned to powder and disappeared.
So, she exclaimed.
Cracked and tore her jawbone free from her chains, restoring her jaw and shouting.
“Nanar niiiyim-!!”
“…”
The demon lord of death looked down at me with her cold eyes.
“Marie, Marie is dying!! The saintess is dying!!”
Okay. If it was my spouse who is a hero, surely she would not be a saint.
If I were his warrior, shouldn’t I take care of my spouse?
“Nanar-sama!! Mari! Mari eueueu!!”
“Clown.”
The voice of the demon king of death was full of compassion.
“Truly… He’s a funny guy.”
The light did not answer me.
Just silence.
…Hatred.
Black hatred for the person who broke my trust engulfed me.
“Kill…”
“Hmm?”
Only then does the demon of death show interest.
It was like
This dog. Even the giggling underlings over there.
A follower of light who does not help. Even the piglets from Seongguk who sent us here.
I wanted to kill them all.
“All of you!! I’ll tear you to death!! I’ll kill you painfully with how many times Marie suffered!!”
“Hot.”
The demon king of death laughed.
He broke the chain and raised the light and tried to burn the dog.
The demon king looked at me leisurely.
“I promised to spare you, but there’s no reason to spare those who dare.”
And.
“‘Death to those who are furious at the loss of love.'”
I’m dead.
“…Uh?”
“Welcome.”
A new world full of bright light.
Mysterious power overflowing all over the body.
I knew it instinctively.
This is… Where the gods dwell.
Seeing the shape of light in front of me, I raised my head in a daze.
“Nanar…?”
“Um. It’s me.”
“…”
“Why?”
“Why…”
The back story didn’t come out.
However, fanaticism, Nanar understood all my feelings.
“I couldn’t help it. The power of our gods on the ground is greatly weakened, and that wasn’t enough, so the opponent was the demon lord of death? The opponent, who would instantly become a god of my class when I raised the ‘level’, was my opponent! I couldn’t help it! “
“…”
Nanar was talking with a quick-fire gun.
As I glared at him, he grinned, revealing his teeth made of light.
“Above all, it was so much fun to see you guys doing it.”
“…Fun?”
“Huh.”
Nanar grinned.
“It was fun, right? Playing the warrior.”
“…”
“Because you made me enjoy it that much, at least one despair at the end. It was okay, right?
“…You.”
“Haha. Are you angry, our kitsune? But why? Ujjujju. Your soul is mine now, and you will be reborn…”
“You oh oh oh oh!!”
Peweoong
As soon as I shouted, I was punched in the light.
Nanar laughed a lot.
“I thought he was his contractor, but in the end, his powers didn’t manifest.”
“Big, big…”
“There’s nothing more to do with talented scumbags. Bye now…”
Kwajik.
“…He?”
Nanar’s arm was ripped off.
And I saw
Abyss.
With an arm extending from the abyss… The floor cracked and a huge black giant rose up from the depths of the divine realm.
What is that?
To the extent that I, who burned my anger against the demon lord of death and Nanar the fanatic, was terrified at the moment… That was incomprehensible.
“…Uh ha ha!”
Nanar laughed out loud.
“I wondered where it was! It’s dark under the lamp!!”
Immediately after Nanar was swallowed up in darkness, a dazzling light enveloped the world.
Tring!
[The causal rate has been lifted.]
[Be careful as you may get caught up in the aftermath of the war of the gods.]
What is this voice
When you thought so
[Do you want revenge?]
..I heard that voice.
Instinctively, I knew that this voice was my only hope.
[Then, die.]
“…!”
[Die, restart. My contractor.]
That’s how I met my death.
Woke up in town
I was young
Okay.
I was a regressor.
He was the one who could take revenge.
