Chapter 97 – The Final Chapter. Eric’s Hero Party (2)
Seo Soo-ah held her sword tightly.
Nova Academy’s 13th Platoon. That training group called Eric Platoon.
And the party that formed the party together in the battle was now breaking through the underground dungeon.
A small mountain in the city center that is nothing special.
However, the scale of the dungeon created underground in the mountain was beyond imagination.
“The demonic beast of the beginning. The roots it has started to create are spreading underground all over the world. “That influence will reach even here in Seoul, on the other side of the world.”
Eric muttered.
If that makes sense.
And if the identity of the demonic energy felt deep underground is that original demonic beast.
The current group was on their way to meet the most dangerous enemy in Hunter history.
‘Will I… Be able to do it?’
I learned the whole truth about my parents’ deaths.
So I couldn’t help but feel anger toward those who drove my parents to death.
Maybe it was me before I knew Eric.
If only he were the previous Seo Soo-ah, smiling on the outside and empty on the inside.
The cause of protecting the world would have been ridiculed and ignored.
‘If it were me before, it wouldn’t matter whether the world was ruined or not.’
But it’s different now.
I found someone I love.
Eric Becker.
After meeting him, Seo Soo-ah’s world changed.
For the first time in her life, she was someone who went deep into that innermost heart.
I still don’t know everything about the will of my parents, who were heroes, and the meaning of carrying on that will.
The party you are in now.
It also means becoming the hero of the goddess’s hero party and wielding the final sword.
To be honest, its fate and importance did not touch me that deeply.
‘No. Not really. There is… A lot of meaning.’
Become the mainstay of the party now and stop the evil beast from the beginning.
It clearly had meaning.
If we cannot stop the evil beast of the beginning, the world will be destroyed.
Although I am not afraid of my own death.
If there is one fear, it is that Eric may die in the apocalypse too.
It was like that.
If it’s to protect Eric.
Before any cause, Seo Su-ah was able to give her all.
Because I love Eric that much.
Eric was the only person who filled that empty heart.
Gooooo-
At that time, the sound of the demon beast crying was heard.
It wasn’t a demon around.
That roar came from that abyss.
Eric’s expression became serious at that vicious sound.
“I think the original demonic beast also noticed that there was an intruder. “It means there is no turning back for us now.”
At those words, everyone in the party looked at Eric.
Contrary to his words, Eric’s expression was calm.
“But don’t worry. Because I trust you guys. And I will protect you.”
Those were such warm words.
I could feel that sincerity.
Not only Seo Soo-ah, but other women. All party members will do the same.
‘As expected… I can’t do it without Eric. ‘I want to be Eric’s bride.’
But it was different from the time when I wanted to blindly kill my competitors.
Then Eric will be in trouble.
‘I too… Will try.’
The answer was already there.
Now he had to show his sincerity in front of Eric.
That pure heart.
So if everyone is a competitor. You have to work hard to win Eric’s heart so that you can never lose.
‘I will become a more attractive person.’
If you become a person with so much charm that even Eric will look back on you.
Eric will definitely become self-conscious too.
That’s how Seo Soo-ah’s heart changed since she was born.
She was more peaceful than ever.
“A demonic beast appears ahead! “It’s at least the boss level of other high-level dungeons!”
Instructor Joo Na-yeon, who was in charge of scouting, shouted.
And before the words were finished, Seo Soo-ah’s body was already moving.
“What’s bothering Eric? “I will cut them all down.”
Ssyuk-
Probably no one here could properly understand Seo Soo-ah’s movements.
She finished her sword strike.
Only the corpse of the demon beast, cut in half, remained.
***
Time was running out.
And the situation was worse than expected.
Right in front of Seoul.
In that basement, the original demonic beast had already broken the seal and had grown greatly in size.
Her intuition was crying out that she had been chosen by the goddess.
‘The demon beasts of the beginning have already taken root throughout the Earth.’
So now is probably your last chance.
At this time, if you don’t insert a sword into the heart and kill the original demon beast, there will be no second chance.
“If even just one breath gets tangled… You won’t get a second chance.”
Joo Na-yeon, who was running alongside me, whispered.
She was right.
In order not to worry the platoon members, I hid my negative comments as much as possible.
That’s why breathing was so important.
Fortunately, the warrior party that Su-ah has now formed.
The teamwork at that party was perfect.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-
The bodies of the platoon members moved before the tactical instructions I gave them.
“Even the elites of the active hunter party… It is impossible to work together to that level. Really, I can only say that the duo of those two is a genius.”
Joo Na-yeon gave an honest evaluation.
As the saying goes.
Sua and Iris have evolved further.
As the party descends deeper into the dungeon.
The regular monsters in the dungeon also became as strong as the bosses in the higher level dungeons.
Su-ah, who had killed all the demon beasts with one blow just before this moment.
The number of demonic beasts that could withstand her sword attacks gradually increased.
But the party’s morale did not collapse at all.
“Hehe! “The protagonist always finishes!”
Although the demonic beasts have become stronger.
The strength of Sua’s party was beyond imagination.
“Iris deserves to act so proud. “The magician’s reaction speed is comparable to that of Su-ah.”
Joo Na-yeon was right.
Because you withstood Su-ah’s sword attack.
Boss-level demon beasts would have adapted to the sword strike in an instant and prepared a defensive posture.
Without even a moment to recover, Iris’s spell bombardment came immediately.
The firepower far exceeded that of an S-class hunter, so even his ally Su-a was able to get caught up in it.
‘Control is perfect.’
Sua perfectly calculated the timing to avoid her body and focused her attack spell on one point.
To be honest, Iris was more surprising than Sua.
As her butler, I have watched her for several years.
Even I didn’t know that battle wizards were so talented.
‘No. ‘It’s not just talent.’
Iris is a genius, though.
At the same time, she is the type of person who knows how to go crazy and put in her own effort when given her own motivation.
This is a characteristic of people with a very stubborn personality.
Iris thought of Su-ah as the biggest rival in her life.
‘It’s amazing when you think about it.’
Before being possessed into the current world.
Iris was unable to break through her own wall as a wizard.
But when he met Su-ah, he took himself to a new level.
It seemed like fate that those two people met each other.
In this way, the party broke through the dungeon with all their might.
And finally, the area with the most demonic energy.
The demon from the beginning entered the space where it had awakened.
***
“Haa… Haa… Haa…”
A fierce battle took place.
The dungeons containing previous boss-level monsters were already out of standard.
Now it is the demonic beast of the beginning.
The shouts and breathing sounds of the demon beast were heard directly by the party members.
Ohhhhh-
At that sound of anger, Iris, who had no fear in the world, turned blue in the face.
“There is nothing to be afraid of! “You guys can do it!”
At that time, silver-haired nun Yuyena shouted.
The blue light of the divine spell she created enveloped the group.
And soon, the impact of the fear that the original demon had given me faded away quite a bit.
“Thank you. Ms. Yoo Ye-na. Yoo Yena, aren’t you afraid of that demon from the beginning?”
I unconsciously thanked Yuyena.
If you think about it, Iris is the daughter who did not have a single friend.
But her personality suited me well.
Unlike Seo Soo-na and Jeong Ha-eun.
It suited her noble personality without going against it.
“I’m OK! A saint is someone who can be your light even in the face of such fears! “The goddess’s blessings are with you.”
And, he remained calm even with such a primordial demon beast just a stone’s throw away.
‘I’ve never seen a saint with that much faith, even in Arnster.’
Of course, there was no way Iris knew Yuyena’s true intentions.
‘Hehe. She became a part of this glorious party. If I somehow manage to catch this demon beast or bug from the beginning, I will be promoted to the ultra-luxurious upper class for the rest of my life!!’
Rather, it was a reprieve because she couldn’t hide her excitement because she was participating in the hero party where she was assigned such an important mission.
Just like her thoughts.
The hero party is a party that has been sent to the most important mission on behalf of not only the awakened people, but all humans. So, if the mission was successful, the honor that would come back was enormous.
However, Iris, who did not know his true feelings, could only express admiration.
‘Now I have such a good friend. In that case… Now you can win my love. ‘Those two people are living the incomparable lives of high-ranking nobles!’
So, for Iris, all her fears from before disappeared.
I looked at Eric, or rather Alfred.
Although she still doesn’t fully remember herself.
Hero Patini who has been blessed by the goddess.
If only I could successfully slay the primordial demon beast.
With the great blessings of her Goddess, she will be able to fully recover from her amnesia.
‘If that happens… It will be my complete victory.’
She turns out to be much more attractive than before Alfred read her memories.
As I got to know the man, I became filled with his bewitching charm.
In addition, she made friends and became so social that she was recognized by the Academy.
You shouldn’t even compare the charms of Seo Soo or Jeong Ha-eun with yourself.
‘I will definitely succeed in this mission and propose to Alfred.’
With that firm promise she made, Iris tightened her grip on her magic wand.
“From now on, I will start slaying the primordial demon beast. And everyone focus on what Ha-eun says!”
At that moment, Eric shouted to the group.
