Chapter 136 – [Hero] One Red Flower Left
“That is… What…”
I can’t believe it.
No, maybe I had doubts at least once.
The former Hero Party is the current Four Heavenly Kings?
Even if you doubted it once, you would have quickly forgotten it.
You’d think it was nonsense.
So now it was a reality.
“Eh, I said I defeated the demon king…”
“It was. It was quite a battle.”
“Haa, I never thought I’d be alive even if my head was blown off.”
The two shuddered as if they had imagined that moment for a moment.
“He said he wanted to die, but he did everything because he was afraid of dying. Isn’t it funny?”
Sera, who had been laughing at the demon king for a while, returned the story.
“So this is probably the most curious part, right? Why did we become the Four Heavenly Kings?”
Tension ran between us.
For what reason…
“For obvious reasons. Because our master has become the new demon king.”
“… Who is the owner?”
Seria asked with her hard face.
Sara smirked and tried to say her words, but was stopped by Louella.
“Stop it, Sarah. You don’t need to tell me about the Demon King, right?”
“But the Demon King won’t object either?”
“… Still, don’t do it.”
Sarah looked at Louella as if she didn’t like her, but she was firm in her will.
“We have no intention of killing you. That said, we have no intention of dying to you. I’m most grateful for not doing anything and staying still… You wouldn’t do that, would you?”
Are you telling me to stay still until the demon king rules the whole world?
As with Aseila, she seemed reluctant to interfere with our plans.
It might sound natural, but strangely, Sera didn’t look like Luella.
Sera doesn’t she agree with this plan?
No, more than that, why doesn’t Luella kill us?
Killing us would be the best way to prevent our plans from going awry.
“So do what you can. If you guys are stronger than I expected, I will die, otherwise you will fail to achieve your goal.”
“Louella, by the way, her personality has deteriorated a lot.”
“Who is this for?”
Louella twitched and glared at Sarah.
Sarah playfully shrugged her shoulders and placed her hand on her Ertina’s head.
“You have a lot to say, right? Let’s have a deep conversation with each other.”
“Count… La…”
Even when her body was motionless, she forced her tongue to move and call her Sera’s name.
But that was it.
As Sera’s hand covered Ertina’s eyes, she lost her strength and collapsed.
“Come on, let’s go back soon. We will never forget you helped us.”
“Whoever wants… !”
I can’t send it like this.
If it ends like this, in the end, isn’t it the same as waking up one more of the Four Heavenly Kings?
“I’m sorry, but can you beat us in this state? It would be good for both of us to just let go.”
“That, that person… What do you plan to do?”
Judging from her brief appearance, it seemed that she did not become the Four Heavenly Kings voluntarily.
Perhaps… Maybe she can be our ally.
But if you lose it to them, none of that will happen.
I forced my trembling hands and pointed the knife at them.
Uni held my hand.
“Eric, you are not alone… Don’t be scared.”
“UNI…”
Sarah and Louella met each other’s eyes and nodded.
Ruella stood in front of us, and Sera tried to get out of this space by supporting Ertina.
“Where are you going… !”
Seria hurriedly pointed her staff at Sera and tried to cast her magic, but Luella interrupted her.
“I’m sorry, but we also have our own circumstances. Because I don’t want to hurt… Will you be quiet?”
It sounds like you won’t attack as long as you keep calm.
Damn, you’re totally playing with it!
It’s frustrating, but even so, she couldn’t blindly attack her.
We all saw her magic then.
The monstrous side of her who absorbed the blood and flesh of the living to restore her body…
“If you cut my throat, I have no choice but to restore it with your flesh and blood. Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.”
Ruella’s threat was really simple, but it was as effective as it was simple.
The more we attack her, the more our lives are in danger.
But Luella has no burden in attacking us.
Very unreasonable exchange rate.
I can’t fight until I want to fight like this.
We were all tied up in front of her bloody threats.
“Say with you… We have quite different opinions, but can I really let you go?”
After her attack was parried, Seria attempted an approach from the other side instead.
It causes division between the two.
Judging from the fact that the two quarreled in Aseila, Sera and Luella’s thoughts were not completely aligned.
Maybe it could cause a rift between the two.
“The approach is good. But you are wrong.”
Ruella laughed at Seria’s attempt and passed it over.
“The means are different, but we have the same goal. That goal of dedicating everything for the Demon King.”
As she said that, she pointed her black staff at us.
We were unable to respond to her threat of attack.
How on earth can you defeat such an existence?
It must have been Luella’s plan to waste time worrying like this, but we had no choice but to let it go even though we knew her intentions.
“… It must have been slow. Thanks for your cooperation. I didn’t want to kill you either.”
I gritted my teeth, but I was so resentful that I couldn’t even run at her.
“Whoops… It is a hundred times better to know my subject than a fool who does not know the difference in power. Enough then.”
Ruella gave me that advice and then disappeared.
Can’t beat even Luella, can we catch the devil?
I am… Are you worthy of being called a warrior?
I was skeptical about everything.
In the end, it was for her demon lord that she went out to find Ertina, and instead of protecting her, she gave her whole body to her enemies.
Stupid guy
Why were you so stupid?
Come to think of it, there’s no way the enemy would ask us a favor.
Even knowing that, I listened to Sera’s words and came all the way here.
Why did you do that?
Did I get hooked on something like fascination?
I know better that it’s not.
So I was more upset.
I’m Sarah… It was believed
Hands tremble with anger.
“… It’s okay, Mr. Eric. Obviously, if we work harder…”
“Don’t touch me.”
Arin came over to comfort her, but Yuni brushed her off with her cool tone.
“Yu, Uni?”
I was even more surprised by that cool tone.
Arin looked at her with her shocked face and she powerlessly backed off.
“… Sorry.”
“Why, why is that Uni?”
The Four Heavenly Kings have disappeared, but the tension is flowing again.
Looking up, our positions were so clearly divided.
Me and uni And Mr. Jeren standing on the other side… Them
“Why everyone… Are you not saying anything?”
Uni is glaring at them with a menacing expression, and Seria is crossing her arms with a calm expression.
And for some reason, Arin is very sorry and he seems to be laughing.
“… Why are you laughing?”
I said something because I didn’t like the look on his face.
Then, Mr. Jeren’s smile grew thicker.
“Oh, you really don’t know, so you’re asking…”
“Shut up. Do not say.”
Seeing as if Jeren was taken aback by Yuni’s violent remarks, he also kept his mouth shut.
The person who treated him the best here was Uni…
Still, of all the people here, I was probably the most perplexed.
“Yu, Uni, why the hell are you doing this…”
“Eric.”
Yuni called me with cold words to see if she was still angry, but he finally relaxed his expression and returned to his usual Uni.
“… I’m sorry, Eric.”
“Why… Are you apologizing?”
She took my hand with a teary expression.
“I am… I didn’t want this…”
“…”
It seemed like he knew what Uni wanted to talk about.
It was a reality I had been ignoring.
“… Did you see it as a spirit?”
The words Seria threw were words that instilled confidence in my expectations.
It’s spirit
I’ve also used it a few times.
I can only share the sight of one spirit, but the other day, while monitoring the invasion of the black dog, she shared the vision of several spirits at the same time.
If, if she usually shared her sights like that.
She must have seen more than me.
The truths I don’t want to believe that I’ve been ignoring because there’s no evidence…
“… Uni, I…”
“Scale.”
As Arin stuttered with her pale face and tried to make an excuse, Seria said firmly.
“Whose side are you on?”
“Ah, well…”
Arin took one look at Seria, then she turned her gaze to Mr. Jeren.
Then he lowered her head and stepped back behind her.
“…”
This made it clear.
Arin is not on our side.
“… Since when?”
It was Mr. Jeren who answered my question.
“From today.”
“Today…”
He seemed to feel that he didn’t need any more acting, so he spread his chest proudly and looked at me.
“Thanks to you and Yuni betraying this bitch, it was completely passed on to me. Is not it?”
As he said that, he put his hand inside Arin’s nun’s uniform in front of my eyes.
“I’m sorry… Ugh, uh, if you do this here…”
“… Jeren!”
I gnawed my teeth and took a step forward.
“… If you come closer, I will attack you.”
And I heard something I didn’t want to hear from Seria.
“Me… Attack?”
Is it Seria? Me?
As I looked at her with her confused expression, Seria showed her slightly apologetic face, but she quickly erased that expression.
“Eric, I value you as much as I do. Because you are the warrior chosen by the goddess, and the person with the highest chance of defeating the demon king.”
Her words sounded comforting to me, but in fact it was quite the opposite.
“… I’m sorry though. The owner… You are more precious than me…”
The face of her smiling eyes as she said that was that of a female, not a human.
“Kuhhh… That’s a bold statement, Seria.”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“Huh, huh…”
Jeren replied while still rubbing Arin’s breasts.
“… Let go of that hand.”
I told him with the utmost threat.
But Jeren didn’t react at all.
“Let go of that hand!”
“Scale. Block it.”
“Excited… Ah…”
Arin lifted her hand helplessly.
“I’m sorry, Eric…”
Back!
Then, as if an invisible hand was entangling me, I was stiff in place.
“Sssss, keusssss…”
Is this, Arin’s newfound blessing to control her opponent’s body…
I never imagined that I would suffer this.
“Oh, is it like that? I can write too.”
“… Ha, can I show you one more time?”
Saying that, Arin stretched out her hand to Uni.
No way… To uni?
Chew!
But Uni was faster.
Yuni cut Arin’s arm with the wind in a similar way to Ertina’s earlier.
“Kyaaak… !”
“Release.”
At Uni’s simple words, Arin looked at Jeren with a frown.
“… Release me.”
When his permission was granted, Arin wrapped his bleeding arm around her and released the blessing from my body.
I didn’t want to believe the reality in front of my eyes.
Even Seria who shows hostility towards me,
Arin, who said he was sorry and cursed me with a blessing,
Unido casually attacks her teammates.
I didn’t want to believe it was all real.
“Oh… Big…”
My body trembles.
Uni gently hugged me.
“It’s okay, Eric. I am… Because I am here.”
My hand naturally went to Uni’s waist.
“Huh. I’m not running away I am… Because you are Eric’s only ally.”
“Eww…”
Then, Yuni turned her gaze towards them.
“Because we are going… Take care of yourself.”
Saying that, Yuni took me out of the forest.
She can’t remember how she got back to the inn.
The only thing that was certain was that she had been holding me all the way back.
